let Nigeria make the chopper then.

If we had the expertise, we would have made it by now. Designing and building an aircraft from scratch is NOT the same as that for a ground vehicle.

Ichiato:
My friend go and sit down jor. Didn't you see the news yesterday? Nigerian military Air force crashed another helicopter. Yes another, this is not the first time. Even common plane in our aviation industry is a problem to maintain. You here spilling rubbish

Abeg shut up!! Tell me ONE competent airforce that hasn't experienced an air crash for different reasons. Is it the Americans that have had issues with brown - outs during the 2nd Iraq war resulting in a number of AH-64 Apaches Longbow crashes, or safety issues with the OV-22 Osprey, or CH-47 Chinook crashes as a result of enemy fire in Afghanistan, or one or two OH-58 Kiowas shot down by insurgents in Iraq? Or is it the Russians? Indians? List just one. So why is the Nigerian Air Force any different?

'cos it tickles a lot

InvertedHammer:
Nigeria engineers are sophisticated.
Nigeria engineers are this...Nigeria engineers are that.


Well...then build your own fvcking weapons!

Goddamn Nigerians take pride in knowing zilch.

Check the arrogance in folks whose eng Iineers cannot build a freaking slingshot.

Nobody owes you shlt


US should not sell weapons to Nigeria. If Nigerians cannot develop and build their own weapons, let them perish. Those US folks get 2 heads?

And when oyibo tells u that u are a bunch of monkeys, you will feel slighted. Yet you behave as one.

No, we can't produce weapons.....just...

Pistols (Beretta M9, Browning Hi-Power)
Rifles (AK-47/Type 56, FN-FAL)
General Purpose Machine Guns
Rocket Propelled Grenades
Grenades
APCs (Igirigi, Proforce vehicles, Mekahog)
Tactical Vests
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (Amebo series)

Yep...We can't produce any weapons..

Onmason:
More comedy. The GIANTS OF AFRICA can't produce weapons? Too bad. The reasons given here are rubbish. U.S knows the weapons are not meant to fight boko haram. So America should come and defeat boko haram when we have been told that every attack strategy discussed is leaked to boko haram by some Nigerian soldiers? Some of the uniforms and weaponsused by BH belong to the Nigerian. Army! Let's wake up from this slumber, GOVT is not SERIOUS about fighting boko haram. PERIOD!!

Your argument makes no sense Bro. Unlike Nigeria where people take pride in Aluu4 ,jungle justice , where human life and human right means nothing to anyone The US actually cares about safety and lives of its citizens and human right . Soldiers signed waivers during training and they get paid for the risks. Human rights watch did not complain about soldiers violating the rights of terrorists they complained about soldiers murdering innocent people .like a video where a man in military fatigue beheaded 6 suspected terrorists with his cutlass and they put them in a mass grave

Operating some weapons is not just load and cock and aim. Command bases , video streaming of live events , military satelites and every other factors work together for decision making in advanced countries . Also Most aeronautic engineers are mostly engineers by degree not by experience , What's the problem with Nigeria ? Maintenance culture. You buy you use you abandon . Furthermore if some members of the Nigerian army came out to say they cant shoot their brothers in Islam and they happily handed over weapons and armored tanks. That jet in the wrong hands is a disaster for Nigeria as a whole


I guess my point is that the USA has the moral and psychological obligation not to provide a weapon of mini mass destruction to Nigeria as long as barbarians are still in charge , and as long as soldiers are defecting to boko haram camps .

What's all this crap talk about live streaming, data links, and all what not? We are talking about the AH-6 Cobra Attack helicopter, NOT the AH-64 Apache or the B -2 Spirit stealth bomber or some space ship. Again, keep in mind that we've been operating the UH-1 helo for decades, a platform on which the AH-6 was built.

Btw, you make it sound as if establishing a data link is something out of this world, when the Nigerian Air Force has been using same for their drones for years now. Don't forget that we've designed and launched our own observation and Communication satellites (delivery vehicles exclusive) in both low earth orbits (LEO) and much farther geosynchronous orbit.

Nigeria's ability to use and maintain them?! Are these clowns really serious?! The Cobra has a lot of commonality with the UH-1 Heuy (after all, it's based on that platform), and we (the Nigerian Police Force) have been using variants of that helo for DECADES now. Keep in mind that our airforce pilots are equally well versed with the Mi-35 & Mi-24 attack helos. All that is need is send pilots for type rating on the helo and we'll be fine.

About time. LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR!

OrlandoOwoh:
Why must the President direct the IGP to curtail vigilantee groups after they successfully dealt with Boko Haram?

Because you ultimately end up with another monster. As the Colombians about their issue with Right Wing paramilitary groups/killer squads.

All these small boys of yesterday sef. Small brain, pls reason properly b4 posting. Oh I forget, you reason from the anus.

Says the "big man" with farts and turd for brain. Keep posting a$$ wipe

erico2k2:
Im trying to engage you in an argument to a specific statement you made, now when you said you where Elect EElect Engineer by training how do you mean? did you have first Degree in Elect Elect? or you gained this on the training field?

Son, get to the point. What argument do you want to engage me in?

SAVEDBABA:
I am not in support of any body name calling anoda bt to b sincere,we no d fact two face is very much capable t build a house in his village,he does nt pluck money from tree bt he has a lot to build house in his village

Even if he can build a freaking CASTLE, what he decides to do with HIS MONEY is non of our business, and definitely not that of those hungry villagers.

erico2k2:
you are talking about Engineering right? let me ask you something, what type of Engineer are you? and what hierarchical measure do we have in place to measure who is on top in the field of Engineering.?

Very well. I'm an Electrical & Electronics Engineer by training (specialty telecommunications). Using my previous place of work, at the state level we had (top to bottom):

State Technical Head (Engineer)
Field Service Manager (Engineer & 2-ic to STH)
BSS/Tx Engineer + Power Engineer + 3G Engineer
Power Technician
Riggers

Same heirarchy pretty much applies to every technical/engineering. I have NEVER EVER seen an engineer report to a technician/technologists. Yes, most times the old seasoned technician is a bit more seasoned than a cherry engineer, same way a battle hardened Sargent/Sargent Major is way more experienced than a Leautenant fresh out of the Military Academy and Infrastry School, or some experienced nurses compared to Medical House Officers fresh from Medical School. But just as the NCO still reports to the young Officer, the Technician reports to Engineer. It is also expected that the Nurse, who hasn't even gone through a quarter of what's thrown at doctors at Medical School, submits to the authority of the doctor. They are NOT on par (equals) AT ALL.

THUNDER4real:
You are still a small boy, you're thinking capacity has always being zero..

Look who's talking. "Big man", abi? Once again, "consultant" book keeper, buzz OFF!

adahib:
Funny country,Nigeria.... It's okay that this has finally been approved. I hope there will be peace now. What people fail to understand is that there will be massive confusion in the hospitals. We live in a country where everyone remotely related to the hospital is called a doctor without them making any attempt to correct such individuals. I can bet an arm and a leg that these consultant cleaners,nurses,lab scientists etc will never correct the confused patients. They will play on the ignorance of patients to claim doctors. It's all good though,that's what we want.

But wait oo,I hope the members of juhesu are willing to go through the process of becoming a consultant and not pushing the argument of "i've worked for 20years and so I should be a consultant". Even a doctor who has worked for 20years can't be a consultant without going through the process.

Our government sef. They just sign and approve things without doing proper research. I'm sure that the members of juhesu agitating for consultant status will not be kind enough to inform us that even though there are consultant nurses,they are not in hospitals but mostly used in legal cases and even though there are consultant pharmacists,they are only seen in aged people homes or private practice and not in government hospitals. But in Nigeria,they want to be in the clinics and compete with the doctors. I hope this cures their inferiority complex. It's okay sha,as far as everyone is happy...

It's election season. So I'm pretty sure the govt said that just to shut JOHESU up.

drnoel:
This is a catastrophe. It's really bad. The idea behind this decision is to remove the supposed monopoly that doctors enjoy but the problem with this decision is that the patients will suffer. Pls 4 those of u ignorant about what this means. It is quite simple. A consultant nurse will have have equal decision making in patients management as a consultant doctor in nigeria. Even this is not practiced in developed countries that Nigerians love emulating.

U people rejoicing now keep rejoicing till the first casualties start coming out. This decision has already claimed it's first casualty in UCH. I heard a paediatric surgeon operated on a patient and went home in order to return the next day for his ward round. When he returned the consultant nurse had done her ward round and had opened and inspected the operation wound. The operating doctors asked the nurses at their station to pls reopen the wound so that the consultant who by the way was the person that operated to inspect the wound himself but the nurses refused saying they had done their ward round and they won't open the wound again. The surgeons angrily left and refused to return cos of the way they were treated by the nurses. The child died from infection 4 days later. I don't wish anyone this on anyone but this information is from a reliable source.
In developed countries only doctors are called consultants cos they consult. Now other health care professions ourside medicine us other names to represent their consultants. This is so there would not be any confusion on who has the last say on patient matters. This decision is bad for the Nigerian healthcare system and u guys will see it with ur own eyes in the coming years unless they clearly state the limitations of the non medical consultants.

Mbok tell them. In Engineering, there's a reason we have a hierarchical structure with the Engineer at the top (thanks to his years of training as an engineer and a manager), followed by technicians/technologists, and craftsmen. Same ought to apply in a medical team where the doctor leads, thanks to years or rigorous training, followed by nurses who are basically like the military ' s NCOs and rank - and - file, with pharmacists and lab technicians playing support. But noooooo, the lower cadre via JOHESU want to be placed on equal footing with doctors. It's like rank-&-file soldiers and their NCOs (Sargent, etc) demanding that they be made equal to Academy trained Officers (Leutenants to Generals).

THUNDER4real:
You still have childish thinking till now, Na wa ooo, pls try and grow up.

Oh buzz off, a$$ wipe...oh wait, congratulations consultant...

Okay oh. Congratulations:

kokoA:
Tuface built a befitting house for his family even before he became a "mega star" in Abuja. His parents were/are still actively fending for themselves; his mom is currently a vice principal in one Behind school in Abj and I believe the dad was doing something before death called him. They aren't living in the village so wtf is his business with building a house for his dad in the village? The uncles should tell their own children to build houses for them in the village naw if na so e easy.. Some of these his uncles running their mouths now probably insulted him when he started hustling, na dey kind uncles wey don warn dia children "if I see you go play with innocent again, I go break your head.. He is a bad influence". Now they want to come and chop his money. Yimu!

Abeg ask them oh!! Na by force? Let them leave Tuface and his mother alone.

rossychik:
But why would a sensible person who has some source of income nt have a house in his home town? It is really appalling.


Dis is a great lesson 4 some of us who are forggetting their root.

U knw what dey say, west east north south there is no place like home.

Is it a must to build a house in your village? According to who's rule?

lordcornel:
1st of all for 2baba not to have. House of his own in village up till now is a big F on his side,dunno his reason for dat but atleast he should have done dat.... As for d villagers tryin to kill sm1,wetin b una own,na una money? Abi una get interior motives abi? Instead to bury the death u people r adding salts to d already sour wound... THUNDER WEY GO FIRE UNA DEY DO PRESS-UP...
Tuface broke cos of ebola?lolz does his source of income come from liberia,guinea et al;? Jst asking

When did it become a rule that you must build a house in your village? Will you give him the money to build it?

DailyNews:
I am highly disappointed with the comments on this topic, jeez! Nigerians have lost it! Village people are wicked, village people this and that! All na nonsense!!

2face abi 3face is WRETCHED, period!!

Even Ex US President Bush built a house, in fact, a big Ranch in his Texas hometown, where did Nigerians learn this their I-am-a-city-man abi woman and to hell with villagers mentality abeg?

Only poor struggling men abandon their hometown claiming that witches and wizards in the village are pursuing them! Such men don't live a remarkable presence in their hometown!

2face can't win his kindred's local chairmanship election with this nonsense attitude.

OBJ built an edifice in Ogun State his hometown, IBB did in Niger, ABC Orji Akor, Emeka Ihedioha the current house of reps speaker, David Mark the senate president did, Orji Uzo Kalu ex Abia governor did, King Sunny Ade did, Oliver de Coke did, Osita Osadebe did, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan did, Late Ikemba Ojukwu did, late Prof. Chinua Achebe of all people did, late Nnamdi Azikiwe the first Nigerian president who used to act whitey whitey did, Senator Omisore did, Adeleye did, ex Governor Alao Akala did, Senator Hope Uzodimma owner of Orange Drugs did, just name it and this poor, wretched entertainers in the likes of 2face, Psquare, etc flashing their peanut money on internet social media platforms to attract gullible-minded women to sleep around with claim this and that as reasons y they can't build a house in their hometown.

You don't need to live in the house but u build it because its a mark of respect; it shows your presence and makes you have some dignity.

You don't buy 5 exotic cars just because u will drive them all at the same time, nope...u do some things to keep your dignity as a man. Why build a twin duplex when u can live happily in just one room apartment But u do it to show that u worth it, despite the economic waste.

Why buy a designer blazer of 1k USD when u can get a nice one from Aba at just 10k naira? You do it to show your class, so what happened to showing your class in your hometown where u originated from?

At least when people see it, they point at it and say: this is 2face's house...he is from this community...it will inspire other growing youths in the village to be like him, to work hard to be like him...you don't only mentor people by jumping around on camera, on social media and on TV, sometimes your house, your personality, your lifestyle mentors people even without u speaking a word.

As I type this, my papa built a very good house in our village, yet, all my male siblings are building their own mightier, gigantic edifices in our village too...and soon I will go there and install my own...let them be there and inspire others...let them talk about our family...and yes, anytime there's festival or occasion to celebrate in my village, people from far and near always talk about our family mansions...people marvel...they shiver and fear us cos they know we are capable home and abroad and anywhere!

So all you city-people-wannabes forming village people are hungry, wicked, bla, bla, bla, I tell u all to shut up because u all are WRETCHED like 2face Idibia and co!!! Yes! Lol

50million naira will build 2face a good duplex in the village and its not too much with the way he displays wealth online...that will even increase his wealth if u guys don't know...anyway, that's y I love my igbo brothers (Psquare no follow cos them be money-miss-road)...go to Igbo villages and see mansions that u will think u are in Paris...

And its high time we all appreciate our origins cos that village you're cursing and calling evil was your origin and will remain your origin!

Appreciate your villages...go back there and do community projects to uplift the life of your village people; no one will kill u...if they didn't kill u & u get to the stage u are now, they can't kill u now until God permitsm. Go back to your villages and help the poor people there and stop saying they will kill you because its a fat lie! Something must kill you- whether from village or city, you and I will die the day we are destined to die!!! So stop making noise cos no village is evil! If your village is evil, then you too you are DEVIL!

Nonsense 2face using his little change to deceive city girls while wallowing in poverty

OH PLEASE SPARE US THE CRAP!!! The 2face you call wretched can pay your own school fees and feed your family till Kingdom come. Even without money, he has achieved A LOT. What have you done with your own life?

And who made it a rule that one must build a towering edifice at home cos he's rich? Did the village give Tuface the money or the land to do so. Btw there are a lot of folks who don't have ties with their village and are doing VERY WELL wherever they currently reside.

englishmart:
story for orunmila!
It's either the mother is a liar, or 2face is broke!
Ftc sha!

Do you think Tuface plucks money from a tree? Why don't you build your own 10 storey home before you call someone's mom a liar.

santos247:
LOcal Vigilantes resisted Boko HAram and reppelled them and now THe Nigerian army wants to take the glory. Its a shame on the commander in Chief of the Armed forces of the Federal Republic of NIgeria whoever that person is.



Anyway, the blame game can continue....Okupe and Abati can continue to spew thrash on who to blame continually...Its was APC, Northern Leaders, Buhari, Media, Now it is America, South Africa...very soon they will blame Tafawa Balewa or Awolowo...or they may result to blaming my unorn child for insurgency in Nigeria.


Nigerians, if we dont loose sight of the shore, we will not discover new oceans. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And you believe that crap? Care to explain how a vigilante group armed with cutlasses and dane guns drove out a terror group armed with Technicals equipped with HMGS, AK47 assault rifles, RPGs, GPMGs, grenades, captured army and Police APCs, etc?

nairalandist:
Even if the NA recaptures Mubi, they still need to step up their game and take monitoring more seriously. The army needs to recruit more. We are a nation of 170 million, we shouldn't have less than 1.7 million military personnel. At least give us 1 soldier to a hundred men in case of a war.

Plus must boko always attack first? Why isn't the army more offensive? This una country sef ...

Wikipedia puts our total military (navy, air force and the army) at 130 thousand active personnel, that means the army probably has less than 50k soldiers... food for thought!

Recruitment is not the issue. One can have a 1 million man army and still get routed by a smaller group of insurgents/terrorists (ask the Iraqis). Keep in mind that the military has grown from 80,000 to 130,000. More focus should be placed on purchasing much needed weapon platforms and weapons (transport and attack helicopters, MRAPS, comabt aircfrats, UAVs, ISR aircrafts, body armour/tactical vests, NVGs, etc) in large numbers and TRAINING. It is equally time we adopt unconventional warfare against these terrorists eg. reliance on special forces units and intelligence.

We are with our Wives and children.

CNN does not air any political adverts, even from the Americans themselves. So Nigeria shouldn't expect anything different.

What can we now say on comparism between the two(2) stadia in South South of Nigeria which is better?

BROS, the 2nd pic is NOT a stadium oh!!! It is the monorail station adjacent Govt house along Nnamdi Azikiwe road oh.

CHoccolaTE:
I think this topic begs the question of where to draw the line between what you are entitled to and what you shouldn't demand in a relationship. If both the boyfriend and girlfriend are not entitled to each other's possesions just because they are not married then what about loyalty and fidelity in relationships? Why do people feel they are entitled to faithfulness from their partners before marriage? You are not entitled to take each other's property but you fully expect them to remain faithful and loyal to you alone and not date/have sex with others as if you two are already married......ironic isn't it.

Sure...i guess in a relationship, a girlfriend is also entitled to the Bf's hard earned money, vehicles, and properties, abi? Because these all equate to loyalty and fidelity. You do know that the latter are kinda mutual, not just from one party, right?
