Nuhu Ribadu was not EFCC chairman when Bode George was arrested and charged in 2008. Farida Waziri was EFCC chairman at the time and Umaru Musa Yar'Adua was president. |

This is my favourite. The US Navy sailed a destroyer, the USS Donald Cook, into the Baltic Sea near Russia. Russian military jets flew incredibly close to the ship as if they were simulating attacks on it. This was in 2016. A Russian naval helicopter had previously circled the ship and people on board the helicopter took pictures of it. Something similar had happened in 2014, but that incident happened in the Black Sea. Some reports claimed that the Russian jets carried electronic warfare devices that disabled the ship during the 2014 incident. Look at how close those jets came! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CftHVYALiUc |

There's nothing special about this. It's been happening for decades, but the media loves to make sensational news out of it every once in a while. It helps them sell. The Soviets flew long range bombers close to US airspace during the Cold War and the Americans also flew planes close to Soviet airspace. It was routine. In fact, sometimes the pilots got bored and played games with each other. The practice stopped for almost a decade from the 1990s till the early 2000s, probably because the Russians did not have enough money to continue. It resumed in the early 2000s. There are several reasons for this practice: 1) To test response times. For example, the Russians would fly planes close to American airspace and the Americans would scramble fighter planes to intercept them. The Russians would then note how long it took the Americans to respond and this knowledge would help them in case of a real attack. They now know the window that they have to attack before the Americans respond. 2) To gather intelligence and for reconnaissance: The US usually flies signal intelligence planes close to Russian and Chinese airspace in order to listen to Russian and Chinese military radio communications. This usually annoys the Chinese and they usually send fighter planes to harass the American intelligence planes. Sometime c2000 a Chinese fighter plane collided with an American plane. The Chinese arrested and detained the crew of the American plane. They later released the crew but refused to release the plane. If you go to YouTube you'll find several recordings of radio communications between Chinese stations on the ground and US Air Force Planes. The Chinese stations are warning the American planes that they are approaching Chinese airspace and ordering them to turn back, while the American pilots are saying that they are in international airspace and that they don't have to turn back. |

Where was I? |
Asgard13:You are a spin doctor and it's clear to everyone. You are happy for me to criticise everybody except your master. You agreed with me earlier, but only came for me when I mentioned your master. The fact of the matter is that I'll post whatever I want and say whatever I want and there isn't a damn thing that you can do about it. Unlike you I am not beholden to anyone. Don't bother replying because I am not going to read whatever nonsense you post. Goodbye |

naptu2:Aha! Here it is. 2007 when he was still the vice president. https://www.nairaland.com/44225/atiku-injured-flown-london-treatment |
What year was it that Atiku Abubakar was exercising in his private gym and had a minor accident. Before you could say, "What's going on", he was off to the UK to have it examined. |
raker300:What does your post have to do with the link I posted? Did you even read what I posted?? |
They are all the same. I also remember that Governor Bola Tinubu went abroad for treatment in the mid-2000s and when he came back he promised that he was going to build a hospital that would have the same facilities as the hospital in which he was treated. That promise later turned into a promise that a medical park would be built in Lagos where Nigerian doctors abroad would be able to invest in and return to practice. It was initially said that the park would be built in Lekki, later it was said that the nursing school on Awolowo Road was moved so that the medical park would be sited there. Till today there is no hospital or park. The former nursing hostel has been taken over by weeds. |

now compare that with Godzilla scenario. Some metal composites like carbon composite are far stronger than steel. In fact I've heard of some wood stronger than steel. So stop with all this your metal shout.
