I read about this aircraft for the very first time, thx for sharing.


Lets not forget in late 1942 the German Luftwaffe was in a attrition fight with the RAF and USAF in the west - the Russians already partly maintained air superiority along the eastern front. You know how it played out: The 6th Army was defeated at Stalingrad in January 1943. The Wehrmacht understood that their offensive capabilities were limited from now. In order not to risk to overstretch the frontline the german generals wanted to regroup the eastern front and retreat some divisions to better defensible lines. But Hitler gave the order to hold each and every position at any cost. No Wonderweapon (even more Tiger IV) could have saved the Wehrmacht from defeat from this point.
The Hs 129 B-3 carring the 75mm gun arrived by 1944 and were build in small numbers only (25). Only a political agreement with Russia or the West-Allies would have changed the situation for germany, but the Nazi ideology of "total victory" wouldnt have allowed that unless Hitler would have been removed and replaced with a more moderate leader.

Debit card from any bank, you only need to contact your bank to activate it for online payments. You can also use Skrill, Neteller if you have those.

So I was with a few friends lately and we where all discussing about investments and I noticed those who are based in Nigeria mostly spoke of very low yielding investments like fixed deposits, one even left millions of naira in a savings account for 1-2% interest rate.

I understand being averse to risk but fixed deposits and having huge sums are simply making the bank richer at your expense.

I don’t know if it’s financial illiteracy or just plain old laziness. Making sound investment decisions isn’t magic, sometimes all you need to do is just watch the news and you will know what to do.

In the early days of the coronavirus pandemic in March, I bought 5 Amazon stock on eToro for $1820 each totaling just over $9000, I sold them last Thursday when Amazon stocks was at $3400, I turned $9000 into $17000 in 6 months.

I didn’t have a dream beforehand where I saw that Amazon stocks where going to blow up, but knowing there was a lockdown due to the virus, customers wouldn’t be able to go to physical stores for their needs, they have to turn to online stores, Amazon being the biggest in the US, they are where customers will turn to. Simple logic.

Conclusion is my people stay woke, bankers are getting rich with your money, why not be making that money by yourself. I saw in the news yesterday that top executives in Nigerian banks made 2.3 billion naira in interim dividends for the last fiscal year. It is your money you’re just keeping in the bank doing nothing that they trade with and get rich off. Take charge of your investments, watch news channels like Bloomberg tv and always keep yourself informed with happenings in the world of finance.

A former attorney general of Lagos State, Olasupo Shasore, who was legal counsel representing the Nigerian government at a court of arbitration in the United Kingdom in a case filed by P&ID, has defended his actions.

P&ID won the arbitration case against Nigeria and was awarded about $9.6bn damages.

Nigeria only recently, on September 4, 2020 got a UK court to suspend the judgement.

Shasore, a former President of Lagos Court of Arbitration, has been accused of having compromised and worked against the interest of Nigeria while the case was in arbitration.

Shasore in statement on Saturday who said he only represented Nigeria during the determine liability, insisted the government he represented did not cooperate with him, failed to provide documents and witnesses in the case, yet he defended Nigeria and secured results.

He said, “I am relieved that the corrupt and fraudulent foundation of this case is affirmed in the recent ruling, though I am disappointed that part of the case made for that result was a case against me based on demonstrably false statements, unfounded innuendoes and spiteful personal attacks on my professional conduct and reputation.

“I was instructed in this matter and accepted the instructions on behalf of my firm and to the knowledge of my partners in late 2012 and I made every effort to defend and vindicate my client at every stage with very few tools and with minimal support from within the government itself.”

Shasore said, “I represented Nigeria up until the liability stage in the arbitration. I did not represent Nigeria in the damages stage of the arbitration. Which means I was not involved when the huge sum of damages was awarded against Nigeria.

“The complete records will show the series of steps that I took to defend Nigeria and the several results, which I secured in that effort at various stages.”

He said none of these was consistent with the unfounded allegations that I failed to present the best available defense.

“With very little or no cooperation from relevant government officials at the time, I filed a jurisdiction objection that potentially could and should indeed have terminated the case in favour of Nigeria because it was clear to us from the beginning that the contract was a scheme against Nigeria,” he said.

He said, “When the then Nigerian officials failed to supply documents or any witness to defend their case, I fought liability by enlisting the support of the legal adviser of NNPC who gave evidence to the best of his knowledge when everyone else with knowledge, refused to do so.

“I instructed the UK firm of Stephenson Harwood a respected international arbitration team and a leading Barrister to attempt to set aside the award on liability in England.

“We overcame numerous hurdles and faced a hostile tribunal, which relied on the testimony of a principal witness who had died before the hearing and whose testimony should have been discounted. It is on record that I fought had for the tribunal to dispense with that evidence.”

Shasore said, “I am happy that the falsity of that testimony has now been recorded in the High Court in England. Indeed this was the ground on which I took the matter to the Federal High Court in Nigeria, which was the proper seat of the arbitration and successfully obtained an order setting aside the liability award.

“There was no basis to proceed to the damages hearing since the liability had already been set aside by a court of competent jurisdiction. Indeed, Nigeria continues to rely on this order in the proceedings in the United States. In addition, I obtained an injunction restraining the parties and the tribunal from proceeding with the arbitration.”
