This is the "Kriss vector" sub-machine gun. It's made by Defence contractor XE, Formerly Black water. I don't think it has entered full production yet.

It has. The Australian Federal Police adopted it as a replacement to the good Ole HK MP5 SMH. The Vector is indeed a very impressive weapon.

"My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour, for He has been mindful of the humble state of His servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me — holy is His name" (Luke 1:46-49).

This is the prayer Mary prayed. She said God my Saviour, meaning that she was a sinner saved by God. Do you see why we are not to worship her?

Was there any mention of us Catholics worshipping Mary? Why can't some of you protestant accept the fact that we do NOT do that?

Jeez....The argument is getting too old and tiring...

What is it then?

Read my previous posts.

GTB. I must also say that their online banking portal is superb

dabossman:
Personally, the only part of your comment I don't totally agree with is saying "nobody has the final say". Somebody must make the game call and be responsible for it ultimately.

I'll give an example. Recently my wife and I had a three day long argument about letting our child resume school after the whole Ebola scare. Left to her the kid won't resume till January when we can be 100% sure all is well. I was of the opinion that it was now safe to go back to school and that the Ebola situation had been largely contained successfully. I told her I understood her concerns but I believe her position was based largely on fear and some misconceptions. I didn't see why the kid should lose a whole term on that basis. At the end of the day I had to make the call. She concurred grudgingly, and the child is back in school. Like I said in my previous post, it doesn't mean I don goof sometimes, but my wife knows I made the final call with good intentions after considering all our different opinions. And I admit it when I goof.

There have also been issues where I said "you know what, we'll do It your way". If things go wrong I don't blame her. I still take responsibility for making the call to do it her way. That's what is expected of a team leader, be it a CEO, football coach or hubby\parent. Someone must make the game call, otherwise issues will remain pending forever.

Thank you! You post has basically buttressed what I've been saying. No offence to the lovely Wives out there, but sometimes you lot can be a bit too emotional during the decision making process. That's why the final call is left to husband, cos apart from being the Head of the home and his ability to think clearly, every consequence for each decision made falls squarely on his shoulders.

saymalcolm:
If marriage is not a partnership, pray tell what it is then?

When the term "partnership" is mentioned, then equality in terms of responsibility and leadership comes to mind, and that's a major no no in marriage. As someone rightfully mentioned, yes marriage is all about teamwork. But in that team the husband is the team lead and wife as best confidant/advisor/2iC. Yes it's ok if the man seeks his wife's counsel/advise on a number of occasions (after all two heads are better than one), BUT it is NOT compulsory that her decision must be sought. It is not a democracy. Think of it as a benevolent dictatorship OR Absolute Monarchy.

saymalcolm:
Marriage is partnership but our faith and custom confers the status of head of the home on the man. I don't subcribe to a earning wife keeping her money aside because the man is the "head of the home". No partnership works like that. Maybe in the old days, it did but times have changed. Both parties must do whatever it takes to run the home successfully.

Likewise, the husband should never leave all the house chores for the wife because he is the "head of home" or take decisions without consulting her especially when such decision affects her. That is not leadership of love but tyranny. Two heads are always better than one. Even if the wife is not working and a full stay-at-home wife, she must have a say for the husband to consider fairly, achieve a workable compromise before making the final decision.

Any couple able to find this balance have a whole lot less to worry about.

A woman who refuses to share in the family expenditure is greedy and any man who takes advantage of a wife who shares in the expenditure is a lazy bum.

Point of correction, Marriage is NOT a partnership.

As a married man I must say I find it quite laughable when the ladies here talk about partnership in marriage cos honestly there's absolutely non. Sure the wife ought to be the man's most trusted confidant, and he should be open to her opinions, BUT the final household decision is his and his alone to make. That's why he is the head of the family.

Anyway, back to the topic. Using myself as an example, both I and my wife work, BUT I take care of ALL the household bills cos it's my duty as a husband. That said, I do tell her to save up for the rainy day. You'll never know when it will come.

Caputerd Boko haram tank

That is not a tank, but a MOWAG APC

Konga. WORST. JOKERS. EVER.

KingEbukasBlog: Surely this war is ending very soon. The Nigerian military is gaining upper hand by far. Read full report from Sahara Reporters [ http://saharareporters.com/2014/09/27/nigerian-troops-capture-monstrous-armored-tank-boko-haram-insurgents ] below :

That is NOT the T-55, but the ERC-90. And all these armoured vehicles are captured NA vehicles.

Just a few.

phransix147: Bro am not insulting u or trying to do so... I get ur points but am saying the engineer that encouraged him to do so when he knew its not possible nko? If u are not in the construction world u would just feel everything is possible so long u have the cash

Very well, I get your point. But still, it may not be enough to absolve TBJ.

phransix147: I hope u are educated to an extent so I don't waste my time... If u would listen... TB Joshua can't do that without consulting a structural engineer, am not exonorating him but Bulk of the blame goes to that Engineer that encouraged him and told him its possible to add more floors without considering the fact that its going to be adding more load both dead and live load to the existing structure without adequate support for the more added load... E.g a 5 yrs old carries 10 litre of water on his head comfortably u said since he carried 10 he sud be able to carry 15kg u kept adding till the boy falls due to the fact u have exceeded the max. Load he can carry. Also you can blame the Procurement and Project Manager for not making use of quality building materials or maintaining standard Mix ratio or substituting rod sizes because of negligence or trying to save cost a beam or column earmarked for 32mm high yield in the plan they used 16mm... These are the thing you should know T.B Joshua is no Structural Engineer.

I sincerely hope you're not trying to insult me in a subtle way. The questions I asked are pretty straight forward, but do note that although the structural engineer owns a piece of the blame pie, he/she CAN NOT initiate the expansion of that building without the consent of the owner/project sponsor which in this case is TB Joshua. Or if I may ask you directly, will you allow anyone tamper with YOUR OWN building without your consent? It's as simple as that.

The only way TB Joshua can be absolved is if the new project had been approved by the state regulatory authorities but the project engineer failed to adhere to standards in order to cut cost without the knowledge of TBJ. Even then, Joshua won't even be fully absolved of this accident as he failed to ensure that the contractors adhered to the State's building codes/standards. Yes he is no structural engineer, but couldn't he at least hire a Consultant or so to ensure that the rules are adhered to? To make matters worse he blamed the accident on an imaginary airplane turned helicopter. Oh...don't forget the N50, 000.00 per journalist bri...I mean "fuel money" saga.

Anyway, the authorities should carry out the necessary investigations to get to the root cause of this collapse. Those responsible MUST be held accountable for their actions.

phransix147: Set of janja smokers... Instead of them to ask for the engineers and person in charge of procurement, you want to arrest T.B Joshua na him build am abi him dey happy as the building fall? I want to ask sef didn't government notice when he was adding those additional floors? Cos I was weary of it now the damage has been done everybody now wants to flex muscles... Insensitive Government! Group agitate for something else pls something like ordering Fashola or GEJ to give me a job.

Who owns the building? Who gave consent for them to add more floors to the building? Let that man own up to his mistakes.

justi4jesu: Hmmmm arrest him @ your own risk

Is he above the laws of the land?

Strange about the said purchases, 'cos the orders were for ex - Isreali AH-1 Cobra Attack helicopters and ex-USMC CH-46 Sea Knight, not the Chinook

Sue those bastards for all they have. Then kick them out of Nigeria ("wrongly" route the flight to North Korea via Somalia).

PointB: Thanks for the clearer picture. But it only serves further to convince me that that is not Shekau. The lump is still obviously tilted to the right, and besides, I don't expect Shekau to ride to battle wearing that kind of pant. No sane strategists will do that, especially when he was supposedly making a triumphant entry to a 'captured' territory. What happened to his military fatigue?

Naa, this IS NOT the 'fake' Shekua. It must be his double!

Shekua is still out there!

I don't know if he's alive or dead, but have you considered the possibility that the lump shifted as a result of blunt force trauma? Look at his head. 'Looks like a side has caved in.

soldierdollar: Bro ... You sound very bereaved is your relation among the victims ?

That's none of my business anyway ...


Am not trying to compare TB Joshua to anybody .. My illustrations were meant to show you that accidents can befall anybody irrespective of how much you're endeared to God . God's ways are mysterious .... As you said ... Christ's death was to fulfil a purpose ( you knew it because it was written in the bible . Now ... Do you know the purpose for which the collapse of the building was meant for ( You will say no because you never read it in the bible )


If you're going to make a blind argument ... Call me later

Well, this "accident" is as a result of the criminal negligence of the church, and I hope the law takes its course with all those responsible brought to justice.

It's a bloody lie!!!!! It was an airplane......no, helicopter....oh yes starship enterprise that destroyed the building!

It's Premium Times. Nuff said.

andyanders: God is in control and will surely allow this to pass away.I feel the pain of the families of the bereaved and pray that God help them to heal the wound.

For the Prophet of God, this is the trying period and He who sent you will see you through.Remain focused as we know that nothing that is happening now that will change the love you have and shown to the less privileged.

The world is behind you and we keep praying for you.This will pass you by,

Your "prophet" just lied to you, and you believe all that crap about the jet?! Chei.......Some people's brains are going extinct.....

Really? Is this a joke? A plane brought down the apartment, and not the fact that the church STUPIDLY decided to convert a FOUR storey building to SIX storey without taking into consideration the load implications?

Sure......

Yomieluv: Nawa oo. When did Afe babalola become PHCN,or incharge of electricity.

Most students are just in school for certificate sake,no iota of wisdom in their brains.

They are so dumb,that they can't channel their grievance to the right people. In summary,they are intelligence deficient.

Long Hissssss.

Well said. This is just stupidity on the part of the students. Nothing more.

coded80: Power of money.afe babalola used is money and influence to buy d power meant for the student and transfer it to his worker,they could have gone to stone the phcn manager in that Area,afterall afe babalola payed him/her a series of bribe b4 he/her agreed.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the Dumba$$ post of the week. Congratulations.

So because Afe Baba lol a has been able to cater for his own staff power - wise, it means he basically "bought the power meant for students"? Really? Why don't you ask the students to lodge a complaint with their own authorities and PHCN (or whatever DISCO there) about the power supply issue there (probably a faulty transformer or feeder pillar, or maybe the polytechnic has bills to pay)?

Boom boom boom

patches689: Nope the hind is obsolete

Countries with money are adopting dedicated attack helicopters

The hind is a poor mans helicopter

And for a helicopter that is extremely fast compared to most helicopters, built to be a tank with wings and rotors to take a lot of punishment and operate in the harshest environments, carries a vast array devastating weapons/payloads, can be upgraded, and still fly in 7 heavily armed soldiers or even more 'munition at the same time, the Hind sure gives the "poor" man a way better deal.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE STOP THIS NONESENCE!!! HABA! !!

Are you guys not tired with the childish, dick - measuring contest! Abeg move on to something else joor.

omega2128: Sorry, visit vet doctors in time,
Remember to tell them that you need brain sanitizer as well. You will not die like this. I'll join you in pray.

Oh, you mean your home doctor? 'heard you were due for a rabies shot and have your bum glands expressed since you've been such a douche bag lately. So be a good dog now and buzz off.

Btw, I can see you've learnt a new swear word. 'Kinda funny to see a baboon learn that . Oh well...

Now shoo!!

omega2128: person, where are you?
Are you hospitalised?

'thought I heard a buzz. Damn mosquito.

omega2128: I can see you are still angry.
Take that home remedial I prescribed but if symptoms persist after two days- see your vet doctors

You need those prescription way more than I do. Now buzz off, a$$ wipe.
