I guess those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make delusional

NikAustine:
How will they lose?
If they declare war on Nigeria I doubt they will. now is not 1967 and I'm sure Britain won't be supporting Nigeria this time...
Besides Igbos are in powerful positions round the world and they're very rich.. they can sponsor a war against the Nigeria state and you know a war in the SE won't be good for Nigeria cause the SE don't only border the SS but they're Igbos in the SS to that wilp attack oil installations etc thereby crumbling Nigeria Economy more than it already is now.
I urge Nigeria govt to come to a round table and talk to this people.. Nigeria will not survive a second civil war and you should be sure a war in the SE will give the militants in the Niger delta opportunities to blow installations.

Besides I doubt the UN will want a war in Nigeria ( Refugees shit)... they will quickly come and divide/ give a Referrrndum to the Igbos and those Igbos in the SS to form their own problems.
Please don't support the govt on this road they want to take..it won't bold well for Nigeria. our economy is already in shambles...we are fighting Boko Haram...Herdsmen..don't you think it that period they will come out really well and ODUDuWa m surre will also use that opportunity to secede too...End of Nigeria.

Lol, "Un will not want war in Nigeria (refugees shit) they will quickly come and divide Nigeria..."

Are you Nigerian? Where on earth did you learn these things? Who fed you these lies? Have you no personal knowledge of historic events; have you no knowledge of current world evens from which to better inform yourself on the true nature of international politics ?


Why has Un not acted on Myanmar, what Nation has Un been able to intervene in and control, Why has Un not solved CAR, Somalia, Libya, NE Nigeria , Syria, Sudan, Haiti, what can UN do even in Chad?

..and at some darker, deeper level, UN needs and welcomes conflict in order to feed its relevance

I’ll reiterate the African Continental Free Trade Area agreement is bad for Nigeria.

Were I an upcoming music star weighing up the long term greater finical gains accrued from Publicity versus the short-term financial gains accrued by the one-off large crowd attendance at my concert, I would plumb for publicity. The way I would generate publicity would be to announce that I'm going to hold a great concert in Africa but I’m not going to Nigeria. After this, I would sit back and let Africans that hate Nigeria and Nigerians that exploit negative news about Nigeria for their own political aims take to social media in celebration. Free publicity for my brand. In fact I doubt paid publicity would do a better job than Africans and Nigerians taking to social media.

xcon:
Igbo boy every sensible Nigeria know 100% the attacks are carried out by Ipob covered up by most Igbo people but the good news their is that your region will be destroy just like NE, Ambazonia in Cameroon.

So, the lesson you learned from all the suffering and depravity caused by sponsored terrorists in the NE is not. 'may something like this never be repeated in my lifetime in any part of Nigeria, Africa, and in fact any country in the world', but instead you learned to hope, " that your region will be destroyed just like NE, Ambazonia in Cameroon"?



Well, I’m sorry to say, Eugenics is a good idea!

So, given that education seeking young people are routinely kidnapped for ransom in the area, it has yet to occur to institutes of education and learning in these areas and, actually, in other states - even the entire Nation - that there needs to be urgent reviews on security and appropriate mitigating measures adopted?

Beyond shameful and few of us are guiltless in this sordid affair.


Guilty: I was afraid to write in as often as I wanted condemning these public servants killings. Declaring disgust was the least any of us could do to show support for the police and not their murderers.

Guilty: many of you wrote in praising the killers of these police officers, sometimes in the name of your seedy bigoted politics when, as a matter of fact, your separatist ambitions, common decency and morality aren’t automatic adversaries (mutually exclusive) . Sometimes you inadvertently support their killing when you respond with sentiments such, ‘did anyone complain when police kill civilians? Or ‘what about Lekki?’

Guilty: Government did not and has not at once put into place measures aimed at safeguarding the lives of police, for instance embarking on improving the security of police stations in the area by pulling down the inadequate structures we have now in the area and erecting square walled stations fit to meet these challenges. And Central government has done nothing to support the families of those police officers slain in the line of duty. It’s not too late. Government need to use the police woman pictured as a symbol of some sort. They need to heavily compensate her family and award her the highest medal posthumously!

100%, this is FAKENEWS

You're missing the point.These sorts of threads aren’t about facts; they are set up as a means of keeping the agenda in the forefront of peoples minds. They are created as a sounding board so in this sense they achieve their aims since they are always well attended.

The cleverest lies ever told Nigerians by those that want to break up Nigeria is this one: " UK will not want a break up Nigeria".

They tell this lies because they figure that claiming Britain saves Nigeria will make Nigerians and the black world view Nigeria in the same light as they view slavish France controlled West Africa, i.e. white man’s tool. Viewed simply: it is an appeal to black pan-Africa nationalism. In truth, UK is only in support of India, UK does not give a damn about Nigeria. Nigeria is Britain’s Frankenstein Monster. A powerful black nation that they mistakenly created and whose potential thwarts or threatens to thwart their exploitations of Africa in the way France does. Nigeria was a thorn in Britain’s side against Apartheid for instance. Britain would gladly help France wreck Nigeria. The West gains more from warring African nations at conflict than they ever do from intact ones. European nations will never be divided by any African nation. They are united. If France is doing clandestine stuff against Nigeria, Britain will not stand in the way or raise concerns through secret back channels, forget that.

I hope he will be as strong and brave as his father. His Father was a strong force preventing in preventing Islamic terrorists from overrunning West Africa.

He wasn’t, he was France’s poodle and terrorism would decline in West Africa without the like of Idris Derby and the support of foreign Western and Arabic nations.

kabe1:
Brother, let's call a spade, a spade.

Chad is not a sovereign nation, we need to get this first.

France militarily intervened in Chad since the war with Nigeria, Libya, and the rebels that have come before these.

Politically speaking, not even a miracle will save Chad from the firm grip of France.

First, Chad is one of the poorest countries in the world.

Chad has one of the world's worst illiteracy rates.

Chad is not rich in valuable minerals.

Chad is a strategic military/security buffer for France.

What you're saying is similar to asking the UK to leave the Falklands, Gibraltar, or Russia leaving Crimea or America leaving Hawaii or Alaska.

It's just not possible.

He is essentially arguing for Chadians to assert themselves over France's colonial control perhaps with the aid of AU.

Whyem15:
Turn others misfortunes into our own fortunes.
The Chad scenario will most likely play out in either of two ways. Either the country becomes war torn from infighting between factions or the son of derby takes over swiftly and consolidates his power. Either way, Nigeria should be looking for how to benefit the most. If the country becomes war torn, make The terrorists see sense in moving over to that side to establish their caliphate as it will be easier for them.
The other way is to support derby's son..... Right now he will be needing all the allies he can get. Support him now and you may get his full commitment to the counterinsurgency later on.

The terrorists too may be getting new allies.

The terrorists don’t want a caliphate; there always were easier places in West Africa than Nigeria to establish that if they wished it.

Oya, police, please apply too...

Is it true that Idris Derby has died?

We live in a system that doesn't work. Even and yes even if a person of authority approach the said individual, I tell you, Lagosians will descend on that person and label him all sort of names...

In Nigeria today, what is wrong is now right and what is right now wrong. It truly is a shame.

Nigeria is a Third World Nation; you'll find this in all Third World Nation and far worst in many third world nations. Nigeria like all third world nations require that citizens develop her and a part of doing this is working to alleviate poverty, poverty cannot be eradicated since you’ll always have relative poverty.

Trying to give the impression that Nigeria is this terrible place and that the solution to this is not working to fix things but racist tirades against the people or destroying Nigeria is a copout.

Malibe:
After declaring curfew, you people are now calling on public with useful information to come up with it!

I really do not understand! And this is why I will always have issue with Nigeria System. Wait! who are you expecting to be out by that time? on top of your curfew? Looking for whom to incriminate. Rubbish! Una neva chychomchin! Amadioha and Ogun Neva start with una

Individuals like you are doing great harm to the well earned reputation of Igbo people as possible the smartest people in Africa. As one of those that push this idea, I cringe whenever I read statement such as yours. But I cling to the reasonable thought that the nature of the internet means we’re all effectively impostors.

Yep, kill Nigerian farmers, so Nigeria becomes totally dependent on foreign food importations; Kill Dangote so Nigerians become dependent on foreigners importing cement to Nigeria worth billions in gains.

Nigerians need to wake up and cease making it easy for outsiders to exploit you by manipulating you into viewing your difficulties in terms of ethnicity.

A century after Henry Ford’s vision, air vehicles may soon be operational.

Investors are pouring money into urban air mobility companies as ‘Blade Runner’-style vehicles shift from the realms of science fiction to reality.

https://www.ft.com/content/3ca1338d-3c31-4c70-ac09-12a0870212e3


Combine some neat technological advances, frothy capital markets and a few locked-down imaginations dreaming of escape and what do you get? Flying cars.

Anyone who has ever watched The Jetsons or Blade Runner will be familiar with the concept. Flying cars are as much a part of our imaginary future as talking robots or interplanetary travel. But what has long been stuck in the realm of science fiction is fast approaching reality. Investors are pouring money into urban air mobility (UAM) companies in the expectation that they will be ferrying passengers around cities by the middle of this decade.

Last month, Lilium, the German flying taxi start-up, announced it was raising $830m at a valuation of $3.3bn via a reverse merger in New York with a special purpose acquisition company. Lilium plans to fly from a network of vertiports around Orlando, Florida, by 2024 and aims to build 10 more across Europe.

Earlier in the year, Joby Aviation, a US flying taxi start-up backed by Uber and Toyota, also raised money via a Spac at a valuation of $6.6bn, while its rival Archer merged with another blank cheque company at $3.8bn. Such companies appear ideal candidates for speculative Spac investments: exciting futuristic projects that still lack a fully workable product or a proven business model.

However, even older, more staid auto companies, such as General Motors, are joining the game. In January, Mary Barra, GM’s chief executive, presented the concept of a “flying Cadillac” — a vertical take-off and landing drone — that could hop between city rooftops. The company said the project gave a “glimpse of what autonomy and Cadillac luxury might look like in the not-too-distant future”.

To be widely adopted, flying cars will have to move from being technologically feasible to commercially viable to socially acceptable. Given predictable public hostility to skies teeming with low-flying metal cans, whether they ever reach that final destination is an open question. But there is no doubt that the technology is evolving fast. A recent Morgan Stanley report on the urban air mobility market argued that several breakthroughs had accelerated the future, meaning that investors should be paying attention to the sector today.

Heavy investments in battery technology had transformed power-to-weight ratios, promising cheaper cost, greater range and lower noise. Autonomous driving systems developed for terrestrial use could work well in less congested skies. And the rollout of 5G networks and low earth orbit satellite constellations also promised safer and more reliable communications with airborne vehicles.

While acknowledging it would take decades for the urban air mobility economy fully to unfold, the bank’s analysts said their future “simulations” suggested that air vehicles might one day travel more miles and sell more units than traditional cars.

Even though flying cars may soon be operational, they would still appear to lack a compelling commercial case when compared with helicopters.

Air taxi enthusiasts say that whereas one mile in a traditional car can only take you a fixed route from A to B, one mile in a flying car can take you anywhere. But that is not strictly true. Flying cars, like helicopters, will be closely regulated and will have to depend on secure ground infrastructure for take-off and landing.

Big money is only now beginning to flow into urban air hubs to manage flying taxis and delivery drones. China appears to be leading the way, but an experimental urban air hub in Coventry in the UK is also expected to open later this year.

As is the case with other new technologies, one of the biggest risks may come from premature deployment and a public backlash. A report published in February by Britain’s Air Accidents Investigation Branch heavily criticised an out-of-control unmanned aircraft prototype that had entered controlled airspace near Gatwick airport in July 2019, endangering flights.

But flying car companies are well aware of the safety risks and are determined to meet the challenge. As far back as 1926, Henry Ford unveiled a “sky flivver”, a 350lb single seat aeroplane-car. The flivver failed to enter production following a fatal test flight. But Ford’s dream never faded. A few years before his death in 1947, he was still saying: “Mark my word: a combination airplane and motorcar is coming. You may smile, but it will come.”

One day soon, perhaps a century after he unveiled his flivver prototype, Ford’s ghost may finally have the last smile.

The Future Of Africa?

If Ghana is the future of Africa then future of Africa is a return to Slavery or at best colonialism, similar to the position of French West Africa.

redsun:
It is a testament to the fact that on average, Ghanaians have relatively higher IQs than Nigeria. IQ is not magomogo to cheat oneself and others like Nigerians think. To a great extent, they understand the concepts of a functional society.

Actually, nearly all worlds IQ Map places Nigeria peoples IQ ahead of Ghana people, although these maps ridiculously imply majority of Africans are barely above vegetative states
