engrsyer:
Has anyone able to log in successfully and start the exam?

I was able to log in and start my test. However, towards the skills part, my screen froze for about 20 mins. Then, it suddenly submitted my test and logged me out even when I still had about 13mins left. I then saw "test submitted successfully' The test appeared simple but tricky

Whew. kudos to everyone who got the invite
I WISH YOU ALL SUCCESS

Nigerian Army started this trend

This is why it is recommended that you buy your weed from genuine and reputable weed sellers instead of dubious uncertified elements.
That way, you won't end up losing your mind and making senseless posts like the OP.

What exactly is talking stage?

Who started all these stages nonsense??

FIFA is a fraud!!!!!!!!

Na to they move around with Prussian blue injection be that na

My Conjecture is; The USA won't attack Iran. They are using the ostensible impending attack as a cover to force Russia to stop the war in Ukraine.

Seems like portharcourt centre was cancelled

I am so angry at all our sane armed forces in this country!!!
I mean there is no how they had no Intel about all these heinous crimes being perpetrated against helpless Nigerians!!!
I hold them all accountable because they should have done something to change this country for good!!!
Shame!!!!!!

Kdon2:
Nobody can fix Nigeria. Not even God can fix Nigeria. It's simple

I dunno what god you know. But I sure as h.ell do know that the one true God who created your ancestors as well as mine, of whom we are not worthy to call HIS name has done so many impossible things other gods knew as impossible!!!

This is called crocodile tying. He may not survive up to 4 hrs if left like that

But again, what if he is innocent? Has he been proven guilty? The reason questions like these are asked is to forestall destroying the innocent by giving them media trial.

The way it is, one can be destroyed by labelling him or her a bad name publicly!

50 percent of nigerias gas reserve is in the Niger delta, 30 percent are offshore.

How come imo holds 70 percent?
You can't even prove that imo holds 15 percent.

Imo State holds the highest gas reserve in Nigeria.
The above statement is proven

*WHAT WOULD AFRICA DO IF A NUCLEAR WAR BROKE OUT*

Africa is not a nuclear power. It does not sit at the UN Security Council’s high table. It holds no deterrent warheads and fields no intercontinental ballistic missiles. Yet, in the event of a nuclear war between global powers, Africa would not be spared.
Africa’s greatest risk in the event of a nuclear crisis is not being struck but being swept aside. Africa’s vulnerability in a nuclear crisis does not stem from participation in global rivalries but from exclusion.
Africa is part of a global order it didn’t create. As the world’s most powerful nations edge closer to confrontation, between the United States and China, NATO and Russia, Israel and Iran, the threat of nuclear conflict is no longer distant theory.
Africa has no seat where the world’s defining decisions are made. While global actors debate the consequential course of history, the continent is left watching from the sidelines, fully aware that it will have to live with the consequences yet never invited to shape them.
This is not mere absence. It is exclusion from decisions that could alter its future without warning, without consultation, and without consent. Its absence from the table does not grant protection. It only deepens the risk that Africa will be left to face the consequences of choices made elsewhere, without influence, without preparation, and without recourse. But absence is not insulation.
Africa will feel the consequences, not in headlines or diplomatic communiques, but in lived realities. It will not enter the conflict as a combatant, yet it will bear the cost as a bystander drawn into the storm, with no say and no shield. The true danger is not the blast itself but being unprepared for the collapse that follows, unheard in the decisions that matter, and forced to carry the weight of a crisis it did not create and cannot control. Not as a target, but as a casualty of a system in collapse.
Africa’s distance from global flashpoints offers no real protection. The continent’s greatest vulnerability is not missiles but the quiet spread of foreign control. Through time, access, and silence, external powers have redrawn Africa’s security map, building bases in the Horn, taking control of key ports from the Red Sea to the Gulf of Guinea, and deploying surveillance networks across the Sahel.
What began as presence has solidified into permanent influence. These structures are now embedded in Africa’s security architecture, but the power behind them lies elsewhere. Decisions are made without consultation, and control has shifted without consent.
The footprint is wide, and the influence deeper than it appears. What was once framed as partnership now reflects entrenched external control over Africa’s most strategic spaces. What may once have been framed as cooperation now reflects a deeper reality: foreign control embedded in critical corridors of African security. What began as partnerships has quietly evolved into a persistent presence, shaping the security landscape without African command or consent.
In a world sliding toward confrontation, these footholds will not remain passive outposts. They will become active staging grounds, serving external interests while eroding Africa’s autonomy. What were once presented as partnerships risk becoming instruments of power projection, without consultation and without consent.
African airspace, territory, and coastal waters risk becoming logistics corridors and intelligence theaters in wars it did not choose. In such a moment, African states may not be asked for permission. Their silence and institutional weakness will be interpreted as consent.
The economic fallout of a nuclear standoff would be just as devastating. Africa’s economies are tied into global markets but lack the sovereign buffers wealthier nations enjoy. Trade would stall, insurance would freeze, and financial systems would spiral. When global markets break, it’s the weakest who feel it first—and hardest.
Currencies would collapse, prices would surge, and governments without a strong production base would find themselves exposed. In countries dependent on imported fuel, medicine, and fertilizer, everything would slow to a crawl.
Investors would disappear, donor funds would dry up, and what follows would not be negotiation; it would be desperation. Leaders, boxed in by crisis, may be forced to trade away land, resources, or control of strategic assets just to keep the lights on. This time, recolonization wouldn’t arrive with gunboats, but with bailout terms and military logistics dressed as humanitarian assistance.
The real nightmare wouldn’t be the blast. It would be what comes after. Africa wouldn’t need to be anywhere near a nuclear strike to feel its impact. Fires burning in distant cities would send smoke into the upper atmosphere, darkening the skies and disrupt global climate patterns. Rain would vanish. Temperatures would fall. Crops would fail. And on a continent where millions depend on rain-fed agriculture, that silence from the sky wouldn’t be a pause.
It would be a death sentence. In regions already living on the edge, where every harvest is uncertain, famine would spread, not because the land failed but because distant wars stole the rain. Hunger would arrive slowly but decisively, without a single bomb falling on African soil.
A shock like that never stays contained. It spreads quickly, breaking what’s already fragile and shaking institutions barely holding on. In places strained by conflict and weak leadership, the center would collapse fast. When families go without food, fuel, or medicine, unrest follows. The state doesn’t fall. It disintegrates. And in that vacuum, someone always arrives, armed, assertive, and ready to take control under the banner of restoring order. They don’t arrive with fanfare but under the banner of peacekeeping or aid.
Without a clear strategy or the capacity to act, Africa would face quiet occupation. Sovereignty would be traded away, piece by piece, until survival starts to look like surrender.
What makes all of this more dangerous is the silence. Africa is not preparing for any of it. It has been kept out of the conversations that matter, absent from the places where war and peace are shaped. No one is building buffers.
No one is sounding the alarm. And if nothing changes, the continent won’t just be left to pick up the pieces. It will be forced to live in the ruins of decisions it had no part in making. The greatest threat to Africa is not nuclear attack but strategic irrelevance. That’s exactly why the response must be clear-eyed, immediate, and rooted in a shared African purpose.
The continent doesn’t have the luxury of waiting for the world to fix itself. It has to start preparing now, on its own terms. It must begin to rely on its own strength. That means growing its food, manufacturing what it uses, powering its homes and industries without depending on others, and securing its place in the digital age with systems it controls.
Real resilience starts from within. It requires intelligence coordination and early warning systems that can track global escalation and translate it into local preparedness. It demands a unified continental voice that asserts Africa’s right to be heard in global security negotiations, not out of charity but out of necessity.
The African Union must position itself not as an observer of global order but as a stakeholder with a mandate to defend the future of over 1.4 billion people.
This is the strategic bottom line. In the Nuclear Age, silence is surrender. Africa cannot afford to be the world’s collateral damage. It must become the architect of its own security.
The time to prepare is not after the war begins. It is now, before the first siren sounds, before the first supply chain snaps, and before the world discovers once again that the weakest in the system are always the first to fall.

Iran had 3 seperate teams design and test out designs for a nuclear implosion device. This necessitated the urgency of Israeli attacks.

Iran's primary uranium enrichment facilities are buried 70 meters deep under huge mountains. Israel does not have the aircraft or the specialized GBU 57A/B Massive ordnance penetrator that is needed to reach targets that deep. This 13,500kg bomb is only owned by the US and can only be carried by the US owned B52 or B2 spirit bombers.

Which is why Israel is begging for the US to get involved. Interesting times are ahead.

Even US war analysts have doubted whether the Massive ordinance penetrator will do the much needed damage to the underground nuclear enrichment site like the Fordow site. The facility was designed to be like an underwater fortress. The US would not want to get embarrassed if the bomb fails!

Kusu12:
The Iranian attack was ineffective when compared to Israel's, which took out top military figures and damaged Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Israel was surgical and strategic, while Iran just fired off missiles without a plan. Honestly, if Israel had chosen to hit back in the same careless way, Iran’s civilians and infrastructure would’ve faced devastating consequences.

I am pro-Israel but pls let's be objective here.
Comparing the two attacks is a little flawed; Israel attacked an Unprepared Iran while Iran responded to a prepared Israel!

Take a cue from October 7, Hamas attacked an Unprepared Israel and killed so much and abducted so much which was the first ever in modern history of Israel!
When you're taken by surprise you may lose so much that the fight might be just over even before it starts!

If they keep trading conventional missiles, it will be a pyrrhic victory for both sides; (Israel is smaller in landmass while Iran has no bomb shelters!)

One funny thing about a war; everyone knows how it starts but cannot predict its end!!!

02Kebreal:
I don't know how some of U all see Iran.
Why don't you ask yourself why the US have been maintaining restraint for years and haven't never attacked IRAN?
If Israel is still fighting Hamas despite US Weapons for since 2023 and still hasn't been able to fully decimate Gaza. Fighting Civilians.
Is it IRAN that is well Armed and can shoot missiles that may need Israel and US Air defenses that U all are saying will be defeated easily?
I pity Igbos.

Pls I'm against your last statement of saying you pity Igbos.
Firstly every objective Igbo people are going about their businesses and have no connection to whatsoever is happening in the far away land of Israel and Iran!
Only stupid and loudmouth Igbos are talking Thrash which does not represent in any way the general opinion of the great Igbo race!

Majority of us maybe pro-Israel but we will not fail to call wrong wrong!!

You don't go into a man's house and kill him as if everything is alright except he must have done you wrong by killing you first in some way!

I am typing this because this was how some lousy Igbos talked carelessly in 1966 immediately after the bloody coup that caused a reprisal attack on their civilian population living in the North at the time.

Since the start of this fight, I am yet to see other tribes chestbeat or take sides except some foolish Igbos here. It is better we stay quiet and watch events unfold! I will caution any Igbo that doesn't know how to talk in public to desist from talking nonsense here. Don't use your foolishness to cause harm to other people please!

I don laugh tire for this thread. But come to think of it, GenZs can insult the living hell out of you like nothing happened!

If you want me to fall head-over-heels for you as a woman, just be a tech savvy expert. I will fall for the female version of Nikola Tesla or Edward Jenner in Nigeria here

beerfraud:
if you stop peddling drugs then no more topic for me or henceforth we die here

Lol. Na you go tire!!
You better think of how to make the Black Race Great with the time you have and not this Gibberish. Same way I tell Igbos not to bash the great Yoruba nation or any other nation/ tribe.

Please let's stop these madness abeg.

I have stopped taking Beerfraud serious. I discovered long ago that he is outrightly tribalist.

If he posts 15 topics, 16 inside will be anti-igbo and just one story line! As if he searches the Internet for only drug cases affecting the Igbo while filtering out the rest. No one should take him serious please. Happy Easter everyone. My concern now is that Easter is being celebrated without power supply at my end!

abdulnaph:
Did you do the Electrical Specialist Sills Test? Please how many sections were there. My test kept freezing. So many technical glitches, even though I was connected to a starlink internet. I faced a lot of challenges today. I think Dragnet can do better. I did only 2 sections. Section 1 was obj, 60 questions and section 2 was MCQ, 20 questions. all on all 90 mins. Is this how yours went too?

Section 1 was 60 questions for 60mins. Section 2 was 20 questions for 20mins. Then came the Survey. Most questions were on Motors, VFDs and Switchgears.

I also experienced network glitches that I almost have up

ezenwaez:
