France and UK can't lay hold on African soldiers this time around as they did during WW1 and WW2. We have woken up. Let Europe fight and die so that Africa will live

Agreed, they are weak but there is strength in numbers, their motto is; an attack on one of us is an attack on all of us.

So, any Country that want to attack the weakest of them, will have the strongest of them to contend with.

I do not see much improvement in the comparative poverty index of Africa today vs during WW1 & WW2 that would prevent inflow of able-body young African fighters into Europe. I even heard that, many young able Africans have started beseeching Ukraine embassies in Africa Countries asking to be conscripted into the Ukraine Army and shipped to the war front.

If Ukraine process the first batch, however little they maybe, the floodgate will open for thousands more, coming to be given the opportunity to be sent to the war front to fight the white man’s war. Our leaders have so impoverished us in Africa to the extent that the thinking and logic many people in Africa are also impoverished and poor.

Agreed, Nigeria dey fvck up badly, but having a National Air ways is not a yardstick of development.

Nigeria should have strong independent carriers that flies National & International routes and some designated as National representatives at international Airports when is comes to Nigeria reciprocal rights and assignments.

The FG role should be to provide good environment for them to strive and support at International Airports.

The US and many Western Countries do not have a National Airline and they are doing just fine.

Poland is wise.

The MIG-29s are old and they can go but will America supply the F-35s quickly? Will Poland not be leaving itself vulnerable if they sent theirs to Ukraine seeing as for there to be a transfer of the F series, there must be training and infrastructure has to be built seeing as Russia will not find it funny if Poland donates planes to Ukraine

Poland is a NATO member unlike Ukraine, Putin know better not to touch them as it means him escalating the war to now involve face to face contact with NATO.

Toks2008:
I have had this discussion before and i wont do that again.

Read my post again. THERE IS A DISCREPANCY and that can be leveraged on.

Furthermore, according to your post, we cant say baba ijebu defiled the girl but molestation could be more appropriate (At least from the video evidence) except there is more to what we watched.

Let me go some extra mile to see if this can be made clearer to you that, there is NO discrepancy, we already have case laws in Nigeria built around the age eighteen, but lets remain with the Child Act here:

Section 31:
1. No person shall have intercourse with a child.
2. A person who contravenes the provision of Subsection (1) of this section commits an offence of rape and is liable on conviction to imprisonment for life.
3. Where a person is charged with an offence under this section, it is immaterial that -
(a) The offender believed the person to be of or above the age of eighteen years; or
(b) The sexual intercourse was the consent of the child.

I think, your problem is, you are focusing on Section 3(a), which is wrong. Section 3(a) is removing a perceived defense that the perpetrator might offer in court.....i.e. something along the line of....."Your Honor, but she looks mature and like a eighteen years old lady".

The above argument is bad, because the person is admitting that, they know that the age of consent is 18, but the victim does not look like a 18 year old lady...So, the Act anticipating that line of defense pulled the rug from under it.

The actual place you should focus on instead is Section 31 (1), that is the crime....The crime is having an intercourse with a child.

If you read the Act further (I have attached hereunder a link to the Lagos Child Act, which was adopted from the FGN's....moreso Lagos have jurisdiction over this case ) in:

Section 227 - Interpretation, it clearly stated among others that:

1. age of majority means the age at which a person attains the age of eighteen years.
2. child means, a person under the age of eighteen years;

So, if you add the definition of who is a child to Section 31 (1); the clear unambiguous interpretation is that the age of consent is eighteen and this is the age Nigeria case laws have been using.

This guy should get a good lawyer. He can walk free but he must have learnt his lesson.

His lawyers can leverage on the discrepancy regarding age of consent in Nigeria.

The constitution is not entirely clear and i have had this discussion here before.

I dont support molesting in any form whether with a minor or adult but im acting as the "devil's" advocate here.

That video clearly showed that it was the girl that moved towards him which means she consented but the issue is that she is a minor.

If his lawyer can tilt the case towards the fact that the girl in question is of the age of consent in Nigeria, baba ijesha will walk free.

I wont bother responding to anyone who quotes me out of context.

The age of consent in Nigeria is 18 years and not 11:

Section 31 (3) (a) of the Child's Rights Act 2003 states that,

“Where a person is charged with an offence (of unlawful sexual relations with a child) under this section (31 of the same act), it is immaterial that the offender believed the person to be of or above the age of eighteen years.”

In addition to that: Read up Section 7 of the Sexual Offense Bill of 2015, these are the punishment for age categories 0 to 18:

1. A person who commits an act which causes penetration with a child is guilty of an offence called defilement.

2. A person who commits an offence of defilement with a child aged eleven years or less shall upon conviction be sentenced to imprisonment for life.

3. A person who commits an offence of defilement with a child between the age of twelve and fifteen years is liable upon conviction to imprisonment for life.

4. A person who commits an offence of defilement with a child between the age of sixteen and eighteen years is liable upon conviction to imprisonment for life.

Oga you are quoting google, let me tell you , In terms of war , they will not use google map because they know it cant be turn of, and it will affect them , During world war 1 and 2 , there was no google map but target were hit.... even in south korea , there map is more effective than google map, china has it own which is better than google map

I see that, you don’t even know what AI enabled map is, or how it works.

The fact that you think they may need AI map to hit targets, show you don’t understand what I am talking about.

I never stated they need AI maps like google map to hit target, the old compass work well for that.

Let me try to explain this to you in layman English…For you to hit a target using your compass, you must know the coordinates of your target or where your enemies are, you must also know the coordinates of where civilians are so that you don’t hit them.

What if you don’t know these coordinates and see your enemy soldiers are in the field or forest and constantly moving and civilians are moving, many fleeing and you still want to hit your enemies even in their new locations but avoid civilians in their fleeing routes.

The solution that modem Army uses are over head flying spy planes to do reconnaissance flights and send feedback of what they can see back to control which rely it to you and you input the coordinates…spy planes are very limited, they can be shutdown, they can only see things in their flight path, they can see enemy soldiers inside buildings, forests, etc….ie they can only see things in the open.

Now come AI enabled phones that any Tom, dick and harry can buy in the market, the maps on these phones send their location information constantly to a google server….a Russia soldier with that map will have real time data and coordinates of his enemies and friends and can accurately plan their attack.

The problem here is not that the technology is difficult, so China and Russia should have AI enabled maps….but an AI enabled map without people having access to that map and phone and using it widely is useless as it does not have usage base from where to collect feedbacks.

Dalil8:
In 1994 Ukraine, a former member of the Soviet Union returned its nearly 5000 nuclear weapons to Russia. As at the time Russia had nearly 45,000 Nukes.

So where did the remaining 44,000 nukes go? And please don't tell me they've been retired or dismantled.

I refuse to believe both Russia and the U.S have just 12,000 Nukes combined. Both countries by now would have amassed nothing less than 100,000 Nuclear warheads each.

They're withholding this info from the rest of the world so we might be able to sleep well at night.

Having realized that, having more nukes does not mean more powerful or deadly….The US and Russia have a strategic agreement to keep reducing their Nuclear stockpiles and thousands of nuclear stockpiles have been reduced over the years through this verifiable agreement.

Having more nukes, is like someone who wants to commit suffice drinking more bottles of snipers to do the deal, when just one is enough.

But USA and Russia cannot go to war directly because it is called MAD( mutually assured destruction) they will both destroy them sale beyond rebuild

U prefer democratic government, see let me tell u democratic can't work in every part of the world and the USA knows this especially middle East and Africa this two region are diverse in culture and religion. Look at Nigeria as democracy worked in Nigeria ever since, No what will work in Nigeria is tribal rule each tribe rule yourself. How can UK put Nigeria under democracy, people with different thinking, religion, different mindset. Example and ijaw man will not want and Igbo man to head him, same as an Igbo man will not want an hause man to head him or hause man will not want an Igbo man to rule. For democracy to work the people must have one mindset. Haha!
Nigerian need to wise up

Bros, go read up on the Cuban crises and come back....US was not prepared to go to war with Cuban; they gave a countdown for Soviet to remove the already install missile components in Cuban or they will strike the installation site and take it down themselves.

On the Democratic Government, you are paraphrasing what I wrote.....I never said every part of the world should implement a democratic government, it is impossible and not a good fit for some places. I already stated that all fingers are not equal and all powers are not equal, so democratic rule can't for be everyone, etc.

What I stated is that, since it is inevitable to have a Super Power country in the world; I will prefer a country with a Democratic Government where there is rule of law, access to their court systems and strong opposition party to be a Super Power over me than a Dictatorship Government.

Even common victims of visa denials during the Trump era are suing the US Government in US Courts, Refuges camped in Mexico are uing the US Government in the US Courts, victims of US wars are suing US Government in the US court, even suspected terrorists locked up in Gitmo are suing the US Government in US court and many of them are winning in the Court and some are getting settlements from the US Government, the funny thing is, these people will get US Lawyers to represent them pro-bono.

Can you get this kind of access in Russia courts? Russia backed separatist shotdown a civilian Malaysia Airline flight 17 on the donetsk region with Russia made missiles in 2014 killing all 298 people on board. Russia denied involvement, they even refused cooperating with the investigation and in the UN they opposed the criminal investigation of the people involved and shielded them from trial, it was international arrest warrant that led to the arrest of some of the suspects.....The victims families were not given access to Russia court for civil suit at least to get some compensations....It was the US court that gave them to pursue their civil law suites, while the Dutch government took Russia to an EU court.

Let us see how it pans out.

I have a feeling that the National Assembly may drag foot on it or someone may go to court to delay the process
I believe there should be a middle point on this clause. For example, the NA may recommend a certain number of political appointees slot to be delegates.

I don’t think, there should be a middle group. Being a political appointee gives one leverage, influence and powers that others running for the same office does not have.

If you want to run, simply resign….many today in Nigeria uses the full force, authority and resources and by extension the resources of the government to run because of their appointments….so resigning or stepping down level the playing field somewhat.

u are mad, when Cuba accepted Russian missile what did the USA do, impose a blockade. This is not a matter of sovereignty, nato is using Ukraine to fight Russia. Ok let Russia put nuclear weapons on Cuba and let's see how America will react.

US imposed a blockade against the Soviet and took the face off directly to the Soviet, man to man.

US did not hail hellfire missiles over Cuba and marched tanks and troops into poor Cuban and start killing then until they change their mind and reject the Soviet. That is how mature men settle disputes.

If Russia was truly as powerful as they professed, they should have square directly with US or NATO and leave the poor Country of Ukraine out of it.

Only one person died during the Cuban missile crises and it was a US spy plane pilot shot down by Cuban, America did not reiterate against Cuban, that is to show you the hallmark of maturity.

At the end of the day, all fingers cannot be equal, all Countries cannot have equal military might and they cannot all be super powers, given this reality….I will prefer a Country with democratic elected government with full deliberative powers, where the political parties diversity balance each other up and people are allowed to air their negative opinion about the government openly and their court system is open and fair than a dictator that answers to no one and a Country whose Court system are close and backs the dictator.

Your explanation was what I understood from the piece but I guess a lot of people just ran with the headline.

One needs to confirm though if other GPS based maps like Waze have disabled this feature like Google did. If not, it is could just be an exercise in futility.

Since this feature is a feedback mechanism that AI uses to mark concentration spots, it usefulness is directly proportional to how many people out there are using that App e.g. Waze or Google Map.

Waze usage dominate in US, I use it on a daily basis because it tells me if a traffic cop is ahead of or if there is an accident, parked vehicle, dead animal on the road, pot holes and all kind of real data.

So if people are not using Waze in Ukraine, it wouldn’t provide this kind of feedbacks because there are no other Waze apps around to use as the AI input, but Google map is widely used outside the US.

People that are saying Russia should have something like this are clueless, this is an AI feature that receives data from another App that is widely used by the population….and definitely Russia gadgets are not used by civilians in Ukraine from where they will get this real time AI feedback.

Those saying Satellites is a solution also does not know how satellites work. Satellites does not provide real time feedback hence Countries like Russia, USA, etc build spy planes to do reconnaissance flights…..Yes, Russia can use spy but, these are fast changing troop movements and formation, plus the plan can’t be in the air for too long plus it has limitation, it is used to spy specific area, you can’t spy a big area, and those plans can be shot down.

Google map provides more than coordinates and you clearly did not read the piece.

If you read and understand the piece or the features of Google map, you will noticed that coordinates were not disabled because ‘turn by turn’ directions still works.

Google map just like most modern driving App e.g. Waze also provides real time data based on AI feedback to enable drivers route around real time congestions ahead.

Therefore Ukraine Soldiers and people fleeing provide data points that feeds the Google map AI bot, which then mark those positions as high traffic spots in real time….if the Russias are using this Google map feature, they will know where the concentration of Ukraine Soldiers are, the route people are fleeing through, etc this is the feature that was disabled. @ Investigative zigzagluv

This is even Trump Aide below carrying the nuclear football and there are many of them. And are usually exchanged between outgoing and incoming US Presidents at the swearing ceremony.
