Thank God it didn’t happen in Orlu. Else, they’d have blamed ESN.

Even as it happened in Abuja, they’d still say that ESN used juju or they asked Amadioha to strike it.

Make una fear Igbo people o. You guys thought it was joke when ESN said that the Nigerian military unleashed a civil war when they came to Orlu?

Who even knows whether that aircraft wasn’t headed for Orlu.

Actually, ESN would have taken responsibility, boasting of their military prowess

Another Afonja jumps out.

Pls present ur proof that biafra can be achieved by negotiation

I'm waiting

First prove it cant.

melvinjames:
So since your people are incredible warriors, how come you have not been able to get independence that you've been fighting for since 1967? For 50yrs you're still where you were in 1967. Great warriors indeed.

Biafra can be achieved quickly through negations with the rest of Nigeria. The problem is that those clamouring for Biafra don’t want a negotiated Biafra . This is because a negotiated Biafra means compromises. Those clamouring for Biafra understand that negotiations for them mean doing so from a position of weakness. The position of weakness is an embarrassing one because the position of weakness is getting Biafra at the negotiation table. In other words, getting Biafra isn’t the contention, getting Delta State is.

GamalNasser:
They have started

If by "they', you mean white people/the Western world, then don't blame them. Not this time. Instead blame black people, specifically Africans employed in some of these Western media. They've been trying for some time to help tarnish Nigeria with the Disease Tag. This is only the tip of black stupidity. I've been following the trend. It pissed some of these people off badly when , like they hoped, Nigeria didn't seem affected chronically by Covid in Africa instead South Africa was. And worst, a new strand emerged from South Africa and was broadly exposed in the media. Recently, these Africans employed by some of these Western media houses have been pushing the supposed "Nigeria Covid strain" but actually it's not a Nigerian Strain because carriers of same strain have been found in several Western nations.

Africa is hopeless and Nigerians need to be very vigilant and weary.

Thanks Big man

you're welcome

She's in Nigeria surrounded by 200 million people in 910770 sq. Km of land , her chances of encountering a Fulani Herdsmen or Kidnapper is possibly as slim as you winning the US lottery jackpot. Niaraland, moving crime topics to main board because crime attracts readers and enable some of you simpleminded gossiping types to lament to your hearts content while the knowing types exploit it to ferment sedition, has lulled everyone into the lazy mindset that crime only take place in Nigeria, that deviants and deviant activities are falling out of all homes and buildings in the country.

If Nigeria kept records, you'd be able to determine if insecurity levels in the nation, since disbanding SARS, has improved, deteriorated or remained the same and to what extent.

In Uk you have somthing like this:

Guidance on keeping cattle, bison and buffalo in Great Britain
Anyone with responsibility for cattle or other bovine animals must follow the rules and procedures that apply to all cattle keepers.

4. Reporting and recording events in your herd
A cattle keeper is a person who is responsible for cattle, bison or buffalo on a permanent or temporary basis. In official guidance, the term ‘cattle’ always covers all 3 species.
Some examples of cattle keepers are:
• farmers
• people who run livestock markets and calf assembly centres
• transporters
• those buying and selling cattle
• people who run slaughterhouses and lairages
There are detailed laws setting out the tasks that cattle keepers must carry out, both before they take responsibility for animals and once animals are in their care.

Guidance


Register a holding so that you can keep cattle
To keep cattle, bison or buffalo at a given place, you must register for a County Parish Holding number.

2. The format of the CPH number
3. The application procedure
4. How to apply In England
5. How to apply In Scotland
6. How to apply in Wales
7. Get a CPH number urgently
8. Apply for an additional CPH
9. Resolve issues with CPH numbers
If you intend to keep cattle, bison or buffalo, you must ensure that the place where you are going to keep them is registered as an agricultural holding. When you register a holding for the first time, you get a County Parish Holding (CPH) number for that land and/or premises.
If you keep animals on someone else’s land, you may still need to get your own CPH number. Contact the issuing organisation in the part of Great Britain (England, Wales or Scotland) in which your holding is located for advice (details below).
What is a holding?
A holding is a place where livestock, including cattle , are kept or handled in pursuit of an agricultural activity. It may be a farm, or other premises such as a market, lairage, abattoir or showground.
Some keepers may have more than 1 holding and some holdings may be used by more than one keeper. A holding is not the same as a business.
The format of the CPH number
The CPH is a 9-digit number (eg 12/345/6789). The first 2 digits relate to the county, the next 3 relate to the parish and the last 4 digits identify the holding.
The application procedure
To apply for a CPH number, telephone the issuing organisation for the relevant part of Great Britain (England, Wales or Scotland) in which your holding is located (details below).
When you call, you should have the following information to hand:
• organisation name
• land location (land parcel reference number(s), postcode or OS grid reference(s))
• form of tenure (eg owner, owner/occupier, tenant 365 days or more, tenant 364 days or less)
• activities (eg cattle keeper)
• contact details
The issuing organisation will ask about other characteristics of your holding and activities to ensure it allocates the CPH number correctly.
Your CPH number will arrive by post.
How to apply In England To get a CPH number, call the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) on 03000 200 301 and select the option for registering your details.

But laws, rules and regulations only work if, at a minimum, Policing Works. Police in Nigeria is unfit for purpose. Going ethnic as a means of complaining is lazy and backward. We need to get the basic institution working in Nigeria. It isn’t ethnicity that prevents these institutions from functioning, rank personnel incompetence is largely to blame.

If unconstitutional for states to enact laws, why cant Federal Government make it unlawful for cattle drovers to herd livestock in the general public domain such as roads, fields etc ?

or what are the laws governing commercial cattle/ livestock ownership in Nigeria (rights, obligations, numbers, IDs, Certifications etc)?

Whose taxes are being used as wages for career in Banditory in Nigeria? And does anyone know the full job specs as well as hourly rate? Thank you.

“I will repeat it yet again. Citizens of Nigeria are not yet ready for Good Governance. They absolutely enjoy and believe they deserve to be poorly governed.

“The Politicians know this and dish Bad Governance in large doses to them. When citizens are ready, it will end.”

Hmm this indirectly suggests that Nigeria’s state governors and the president are competent men, full of statecraft, able to transform the lives of Nigerians for the better by providing jobs, power, security, education, hospitals and in short all due infrastructural development, but are however choosing not to do so because the Nigerian people are willing to settle for less, lol. She did not consider that perhaps Nigerians know that leadership at most level in Nigeria are incapable of doing the job for which they were employed by the people at the ballot and that if they rise up an destroy the little that they have – in some act meant to show these leaders that the people will no longer tolerate poor governing – things will be worst than before since the leaders are an incapable lot at brining in improvements.

Sure, choose the right people at the ballot and all that but chances are you'll get the same. Limit participatory age for office seeking to under 50 all you want, chances are you'll get the same. Spilt country, you'll get the same, try communism, you’ll get same if those running for office don’t have Ruling Nations and stats qualification. I’ve never understood why the most important job in human community that of leading entire nations requires no qualification. If a Nation just happen to be blessed by naturally gifted leaders, fine. Poor leaders may follow gifted leaders and the mass unaware because the gifted leader put in place mechanism that enable following leaders to lead well in spite of themselves. For me, leadership needs to be thought. Leadersgip though at some institute may make for bog-standard unimaginative leaders most of the time but they would be competent leaders at least.

Even a retard wouldn’t be stupid enough to regurgitate that old Western prescription calculated to trap Africa in perpetual strife and conflict. Poverty is impossible to eradicate since poverty is relative. You'll never be able to build enough schools, hospitals, roads, jobs or amenities to satisfy those that say they are fighting the state due to poverty.

How far behind blacks are.

Incidentally, nearly the entire featured scientists here are Indians and since there’s black US hostility to Nigerians, what happened to African Americans?

Obviously, governments are unable to trace individuals online that spread hatred and false news of an incendiary nature?

If so, Africa faces a grim future.

Crime will increase on their return....


When are u sending the ones here back to where they came from

Lol, if na me all those people will not be brought back to Nigeria. What evidence is there that they are Nigerians? They are all herdsmen in disguise. There are many on niraland that need deporting too.

Mars landing: What time the Nasa Perseverance rover will attempt the most treacherous landing yet

The car-sized rover is due to touch down today in the culmination of the $2.7 billion Mars 2020 mission and 293 million mile journey

Nasa is on tenterhooks as its Perseverance rover prepares to go through "seven minutes of terror" which will see it attempt the most treacherous landing yet on Mars.

Perseverance will streak across the Martian sky at 12,000mph – more than six times as fast as a speeding bullet – before slowing itself down by deploying a 70ft wide parachute, and setting down in a crater littered with boulders.

If all goes according to plan the car-sized rover will reach the surface this evening at around 8.43pm.

It will be the culmination of the $2.7 billion Mars 2020 mission which took seven months to complete the 293 million mile journey.

'Seven minutes of terror'

The entry, descent and landing (EDL) phase is known as the "seven minutes of terror".

Nasa scientists won't know what's happening in real time because it takes so long for radio signals to reach Earth.

Perseverance will send a radio alert as it begins the descent.

If they don't get another one seven minutes later then it means the rover will have crashed.

It will blast into the Martian atmosphere at 12,000mph encased in a protective capsule.

The giant parachute will then deploy to slow the descent capsule's plunge.

What to expect when the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover arrives at the Red Planet on Feb. 18, 2021.

With about 2.4 million miles (3.9 million kilometers) left to travel in space, NASA’s Mars 2020 Perseverance mission is days away from attempting to land the agency’s fifth rover on the Red Planet. Engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, where the mission is managed, have confirmed that the spacecraft is healthy and on target to touch down in Jezero Crater at around 3:55 p.m. EST (12:55 p.m. PST) on Feb. 18, 2021.

“Perseverance is NASA’s most ambitious Mars rover mission yet, focused scientifically on finding out whether there was ever any life on Mars in the past,” said Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “To answer this question, the landing team will have its hands full getting us to Jezero Crater – the most challenging Martian terrain ever targeted for a landing.”

Jezero is a basin where scientists believe an ancient river flowed into a lake and deposited sediments in a fan shape known as a delta. Scientists think the environment here was likely to have preserved signs of any life that gained a foothold billions of years ago – but Jezero also has steep cliffs, sand dunes, and boulder fields. Landing on Mars is difficult – only about 50% of all previous Mars landing attempts have succeeded – and these geological features make it even more so. The Perseverance team is building on lessons from previous touchdowns and employing new technologies that enable the spacecraft to target its landing site more accurately and avoid hazards autonomously.

“The Perseverance team is putting the final touches on the complex choreography required to land in Jezero Crater,” said Jennifer Trosper, deputy project manager for the mission at JPL. “No Mars landing is guaranteed, but we have been preparing a decade to put this rover’s wheels down on the surface of Mars and get to work.”

You will get to watch the drama of Perseverance’s entry, descent, and landing (EDL) – the riskiest portion of the rover’s mission that some engineers call the “seven minutes of terror” – live on NASA TV. Commentary starts at 2:15 p.m. EST (11:15 a.m. PST) on Feb. 18. Engineers expect to receive notice of key milestones for landing at the estimated times below. (Because of the distance the signals have to travel from Mars to Earth, these events actually take place on Mars 11 minutes, 22 seconds earlier than what is noted here.)

– Cruise stage separation: The part of the spacecraft that has been flying Perseverance – with NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter attached to its belly – through space for the last six-and-a-half months will separate from the entry capsule at about 3:38 p.m. EST (12:38 p.m. PST).

– Atmospheric entry: The spacecraft is expected to hit the top of the Martian atmosphere traveling at about 12,100 mph (19,500 kph) at 3:48 p.m. EST (12:48 p.m. PST).

– Peak heating: Friction from the atmosphere will heat up the bottom of the spacecraft to temperatures as high as about 2,370 degrees Fahrenheit (about 1,300 degrees Celsius) at 3:49 p.m. EST (12:49 p.m. PST).

– Parachute deployment: The spacecraft will deploy its parachute at supersonic speed at around 3:52 p.m. EST (12:52 p.m. PST). The exact deployment time is based on the new Range Trigger technology, which improves the precision of the spacecraft’s ability to hit a landing target.

– Heat shield separation: The protective bottom of the entry capsule will detach about 20 seconds after the parachute deployment. This allows the rover to use a radar to determine how far it is from the ground and employ its Terrain-Relative Navigation technology to find a safe landing site.

– Back shell separation: The back half of the entry capsule that is fastened to the parachute will separate from the rover and its “jetpack” (known as the descent stage) at 3:54 p.m. EST (12:54 p.m. PST). The jetpack will use retrorockets to slow down and fly to the landing site.

– Touchdown: The spacecraft’s descent stage, using the sky crane maneuver, will lower the rover down to the surface on nylon tethers. The rover is expected to touch down on the surface of Mars at human walking speed (about 1.7 mph, or 2.7 kph) at around 3:55 p.m. EST (12:55 p.m. PST).

A variety of factors can affect the precise timing of the milestones listed above, including properties of the Martian atmosphere that are hard to predict until the spacecraft actually flies through.

Mission controllers also may not be able to confirm these milestones at the times listed above because of the complexity of deep-space communications. The flow of detailed engineering data (called telemetry) in near-real-time relies on a new kind of relay capability added this past year to NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO). Engineers expect additional data to return to Earth directly through NASA’s Deep Space Network and two other Earth-based antennas until shortly before touchdown.

It’s important to note that the rover can land safely on Mars without communications with Earth: Perseverance has pre-programmed landing instructions and significant autonomy. Additional communication passes are planned in the hours and days following the landing event.

Once on the surface, one of Perseverance’s first activities will be to take pictures of its new home and transmit them back to Earth. Over the following days, engineers will also check on the health of the rover and deploy the remote sensing mast (otherwise known as its “head”) so it can take more pictures. The Perseverance team will then take more than a month to thoroughly inspect the rover and load new flight software to prepare for its search for ancient life on Mars. During the same period, the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter team will be making sure their small but mighty robot is prepared for the first attempt at controlled, powered aerodynamic flight on another planet.

“The Ingenuity team will be on the edge of our seats with the Perseverance team on landing day,” said MiMi Aung, the Ingenuity project manager at JPL. “We can’t wait until the rover and the helicopter are both safely on the surface of Mars and ready for action.”

More About the Perseverance Mission

A key objective of Perseverance’s mission on Mars is astrobiology, including the search for signs of ancient microbial life. The rover will characterize the planet’s geology and past climate, pave the way for human exploration of the Red Planet, and will be the first mission to collect and cache Martian rock and sediment for later return to Earth.

Subsequent NASA missions, in cooperation with ESA (European Space Agency), would send spacecraft to Mars to collect these sealed samples from the surface and return them to Earth for in-depth analysis.

The Mars 2020 mission is part of a larger NASA initiative that includes missions to the Moon as a way to prepare for human exploration of the Red Planet. NASA will establish a sustained human presence on and around the Moon through NASA’s Artemis lunar exploration plans.

JPL, a division of Caltech in Pasadena, California, manages the Mars 2020 Perseverance mission and the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter technology demonstration for NASA.

Let's aim for the biggest in the world.

See this yet another reason ‘’One Africa’’ is not good for Nigeria. This new found modesty of ours that is compelling us now to aim low is derived from the rest of Africa urging Nigeria not to compare ourselves to America but compare ourselves to other African nations.

Arizonaz:
The country where na primary school certificate holders be police. What do you expect.

More importantly, we don’t keep records. If we kept records, employers would have access to a job applicants’ work, medical, criminal and educational history. Without records, an employer wouldn’t know if they are employing a psychopath or not.


Nigeria is easy to get right. Nigeria doesn’t work properly because Nigerians haven’t worked at Nation building. We need to get the basic things sorted out, things like the justice system of which policing is part, civil service, record keeping, border control, Citizen Identity, immigration etc

Nigeria ought to have fallen apart a long time ago but Nigeria hasn’t because Nigerians are fundamentally good and tolerant people. The Nigeria state simply relied on Nigerians general good upbringing. However as Nigeria has modernised, and the ethnic cultural upbringing of individuals has broken down, as in rest of the world, the state has not reflected this by introducing the prerequisite checks and sanctions. Chinua Acheba wrote, ''as men have learned to shoot without missing, so the birds have learnt to fly without perching''. Translated for our purpose, ''as the Security officers have learned to take form the bank safe, Nigeria has not learned to keep money in a metal door vault installed with CCTV and hidden hyenas''.

East Nigeria


Rivers full Nigeria, they’re not polluted; they’re mostly pristine because Nigerians hardly use them. Nigerians know little about their own country.

He is Nigerian and therefore to be looked on as stupid not brave or heroic; his risks an example of government’s corruption and military’s wretched state and incompetence. Had he been white or Chadian, he would be looked upon as heroic, a warrior type; his risks, an example of the Whiteman’s ability to put the lives of others before his own. He would be said to be doing what no Nigerian is capable.

uuzba:
Probably a spring.
I went to Ikogisi warm springs as a kid. The water is indeed super clear. But not blue water as in movies..
Maybe if it was deeper and bigger it would then be blue..

I’m not knowledgeable enough about the differences between springs, creeks and rivers but after consulting Google, i'd say it was a river although i didn’t see any sea in the distance.

btw

respectful condolence to families of deceased.

heendrix:
We're still saying the same thing, atleast you love one of the best isn't it

Well, I’ve seen clear river with white sandy bed in Nigeria, clear as tap water in a white cup, you’d see the fishes shooting off in all directions.

heendrix:
I'm not known to be satisfied with the worse

You're not god; you can’t decide for everyone what is worst or best. For you Blue Rivers are best, for me clear rivers are best. For me nothing beats clear rivers with white sandy substrates.

heendrix:
my own is why don't we have Blue River, lake or streams in Nigeria??

I've seen green and glass clear rivers in Nigeria, be satisfied.

HopeVictor:
Because Nigeria sky no blue

not you.
Him below.

dederocs:
They will wear mask

Use that money to clear spaces between the bushes and the highway, as well as buy wild dogs, and release them into the bushes, escorted by officers, This dog will be trained to attack people with guns, weapons, or a particular odour, etc...do this in every LGA consistently across the highway, buy wild breeds, they are dog breeds that engage lions, leopards etc, used to protect ranches and cattle, use direct action, all these highway camera things, na waste of public funds. These people are animals lets treat them as such.

It is possibly best in our climate when authorities declare their solution to a problem to work with what they offer by proffering ways of improving upon their ideas instead of suggesting alternatives after mocking the ones they proposed. And to be fare to them, we all have our ideas, on what could be done about any given situation, and I would wager that our ideas are as different to one another’s as yours differs from there’s.

Not just Toll Gate, Nigerians need to protest train line to Niger Republic. Nigerians need to protest and demand that the proposed train line to Niger Republic be used for train line to another part of Nigeria.
