dekronik:
For the records, NDA started awarding their cadets "university degrees" in 1985. That is not to say past cadets did not have degree equivalents.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_Defence_Academy True, but it's not just about the NDA. What makes a degree that's awarded in Nigeria valid? The answer is that the degree awarding institution (and the course itself) must have been accredited by the Nigerian Universities Commission (NUC) and by relevant professional bodies (in the case of courses such as medicine and engineering). The NDA has been accredited by the NUC (repeatedly) for first degree courses. In fact, the NUC recently accredited the NDA's postgraduate courses. http://www.ngscholars.com/2013/04/nuc-finally-approves-nigerian-defence-academy-nda-postgraduate-programmes/But note that the main postgraduate military school in Nigeria is the National War College (now known as the National Defence College). |

tonte:
Buhari did not attend NDA, He attended a military academy in the UK, for 18 months and it was purely military studies...NDA became a degree awarding institution not very long ago Partly correct. Buhari, like Obasanjo, attended the Defence Services Staff College, Wellington, India (it is affiliated to the University of Madras and it awards degrees in Defence and Strategic Studies). That's the "purely military studies" school. The school he attended in the UK was the Army Mechanical and Transport School (it trains people to be mechanics, military drivers, etc). Obasanjo attended the Royal School of Military Engineering (which awards degrees in engineering) and the Royal School of Military Survey, both in the UK. Buhari later attended the US Army War College, a post graduate institution, which awards masters degrees in strategic studies. |

Additional questions.
1) How did Olusegun Obasanjo become an engineer and a surveyor?
2) Why did Olusegun Obasanjo register for a post-graduate diploma in theology at the National Open University of Nigeria in 2009, if he wasn't already a graduate?
3) How did Muhammadu Buhari gain admission into the US Army War College if he wasn't a graduate.
4) Why do people who study management courses (business administration, public administration, etc) study military organisation and administration? |

MAP 101 (Introduction To Musiwa). naptu2:
Adesegun Musiwa is the Nairaland politics section poster of the year 2009. He is an electricity engineer who graduated from the University of Ilorin. He speaks Batu and a host of other languages.
Adesegun Musiwa is also known as Becomerich 1-100, Eguofor, Complove, Nigeria1, Nigeriaone, Bashali, Tayo4life, Uche 2005, Manck, Becomericher, Mapomeji, Are Canada, etc
He works as the chief mapologist at Google. His philosophy is that all Nigeria's problems will be solved if the Western Niger is excised from Nigeria and added to Benin Republic.
He is very influential (more influential than Goodluck Jonathan), knows all the pastors in Nigeria and will win any free and fair presidential election conducted in Nigeria, by virtue of his philosophy as contained in the sacred satellite pictures.
He has been the subject of classic threads on Nairaland such as the threads below.

I look at the number of view online. Nobody want to watch them because they talk about APC and PDP, which both don't have any member,.
APC primary in Lagos shows any media house with good head. Should never broadcast APC or PDP. Nobody is interested in them that why they were empty.
NCP occupy Nigeria shows it will have more viewers than APC or PDP. Television is about people watch. Television get as if people are watching. You give people what they want.. Not APC or PDP. Wow! Is that why they always watch This Globe TV? By the way, Aare Musiwa, when is NCP holding its convention? I want to attend, so that I can meet you. I have something very important to tell you. |

0rex:
Good job. But is it that the Police that does not know the difference between detonated and defused or what? netizenbuzz:
Okay. So is it that they took the bomb somewhere isolated to detonate or is the word they are looking for "dismantle" or "defuse"? thecommunist:
i tire ooh, its the charlatans parading as journalist that we have today, they dont know the difference between defused and detonated. most times they just use "detonated" when they actually mean "defused". It is not always possible to safely defuse a bomb. Possible reasons include the fact there might be a high risk that the bomb will explode before it can be defused, the risk that vibration can set off the bomb, etc. Therefore, the police and the military often carry out controlled detonation. A good example is the case of the unexploded bombs that were left at Ikeja Cantonement after the 2002 bomb blast. These were safely detonated with the assistance of the US Army. Methods of carrying out a controlled detonation include: 1) Evacuating the area and using a smaller bomb to set off the explosive device. 2) Using a bomb disposal robot to move the bomb to a safe place for detonation. 3) Placing the bomb in a confined area that is sealed off with compact sand and other such materials that will reduce the impact of the bomb and then detonating it. naptu2:
How come some people don't know what a controlled detonation is? naptu2: Re: Nigerian Air Force Bomb-Detonating Robot, Tracking Device by naptu2: 9:59am On Jul 24
[size=14pt]Controlled Explosion/Detonation[/size]
A controlled explosion is a method for detonating or disabling a suspected explosive device.
Methods which are used to set off a controlled explosion include emptying out the area and moving the package (with the aid of robots) into a confined space such as a telephone booth.
Another classic method of controlled explosion is to place the bomb in a skip and fill it with sand before detonating it with a self-incendiary device or a fuse.
Controlled explosions are becoming quite common in the UK, especially in the South East where, because there is a lot of development, unexploded World War II bombs are often found by construction diggers.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_explosion naptu2: Re: Nigerian Air Force Bomb-Detonating Robot, Tracking Device by naptu2: 9:53am On Jul 24
[size=14pt]Police Robot Tasks[/size]
Because the majority of police robots are highly mobile and have sophisticated audio and visual systems, police have the option to use them in several situations. The most common use for a police robot is in bomb removal and disposal. While robots are expensive, the cost is small compared to that of human life. Some robots are so tough that they can survive multiple blasts. Still, most of the time the goal is to avoid any sort of explosion at all.
When investigating a potential bomb, police officers use the cameras on the robot to assess the situation. If the robot is able to reach the suspicious device, the operator can use the claw to grip the device, lift it and move it to a cleared location for detonation. In cases where the device isn't easily accessible or appears to have a triggering mechanism that will activate if the device moves, police may have to detonate the device on-site.
Robots can also be used as a surveillance device. A robot with microphones and night vision can approach a potentially unsafe area while broadcasting information back to the operator. Using a robot can help reduce the time it takes for police to assess a situation, without placing an officer at risk.
By using the two-way audio system, police can communicate with anyone from suspects to hostages. Robots are useful in negotiation situations because unless they're visibly armed, they're relatively nonthreatening. Another benefit is that the robot's cameras can continue gathering information while police use the audio system to communicate with people in dangerous situations. The police can also use robots to deliver items like food to victims and suspects in hostage situations without risking an officer's life.
Some robots have sensors that can detect anything from narcotics to biological, radioactive or chemical weapons. Robots help first responders determine how dangerous an area is quickly and safely. Operators can maneuver robots through hazardous environments to find survivors. Some robots are strong enough to drag victims out of lethal situations.
Companies like Remotec and RoboticFX are constantly working to develop new robots for police forces, the military and other organizations that deal with hazardous situations. Newer models have better maneuverability, longer-lasting batteries, arms with more points of articulation and new accessories designed to help officers perform dangerous tasks.
In the future, robots might be more autonomous, eliminating the need for a human operator calling the shots from a command console. As robots become more agile, we may see an increase of an armed robotic police presence.
But even when companies can meet all the technological demands of an autonomous, armed police force, there'll still be social and political hurdles. What happens if a police robot malfunctions and harms someone, for example? Also, robots are expensive to purchase and maintain and require an officer's input to function.
But their drawbacks are minor when you consider that robots help keep law enforcement officials safe. For now, police robots are pretty rare -- there's little chance you'll bump into one the next time you're at Krispy Kreme -- but in a few decades, we might just see a rocket-shaped robot officer on wheels instructing us when to cross the street at the crosswalk.
