The anonymous pilot is either being mischievious or he is plain stupid
Black spots on Ground-to-Air communications system?
And yet he can use his gsm phone which is terrestrial?
Does this communications blackout only happen to Nigerian Pilots?

I do not dispute the fact that there are problems in the aviation industry
But nobody should start maufacturing imaginary problems
Let him take his personal battle somewhere
He is just a scare monger

Looks like everybody is being deceived by this circus called Public Hearing
At the end of the day nothing will come out of the probe
The "probers" do not have genuine intentions, they have their own hidden agenda
Sooner or later, we will all discover that the Public Hearing itself is a scam!

. . . . . .thats the result u get with too much brains + too much money

Coming back home, I have seen many of our so called "big" men who use these expensive phones and they
don't have any clue of the capabilities of the phones

It is like "much money no brains"

, and thats the story of our country
Sadly the young ones are taking after them

I had a similar experience with Starcomms EVDO
Check your USB connectors, power supply adapter, plug and the battery

Some pictures

Nokia, manufacturing super-premium phones.
With prices starting at around £4,000 Vertu phones are only for the rich and famous.

However, Vertu’s monopoly of the luxury phone market is coming to an end
with the launch of several new luxury mobile makers, including Gresso, Mobiado and GoldVish.
Other mobile phone manufacturers are also partnering with luxury brands to produce a range of
premium mobile phones, such as LG and Prada, D&G and Motorola, and now Tag Heuer and Modelabs.
Finally, there are the ridiculous, super-expensive one-offs, made purely for headline grabbing,
such as Goldvish’s “Le million”, worth $1,000,000!

All races have their share of intelligent people
Intelligence can't be described with a single word or properly measured by mathematical IQ tests

My own concept of intelligence would be:

Wisdom
Knowledge
Insight
Intuition
Creativity
Common sense
Wit

There are intelligent hunters, fishermen, kidnappers, scientists, teachers etc
The environment has a lot to do with relative intelligence

In the wrong environment, an otherwise intelligent person could be termed a retard

So Obama should be held responsible for all anti-american statements made by all black men that support him?
As far as I am concerned, Obama has not made any anti-american statements
He has been all about changing America to stop thinking this way, and make the country a success for all, whatever colour or gender.

I thought American politics is about issues?
And what happens to the over-hyped American first amendment?
The rev. has the right to his own opinions.
Obama should not be blamed for another man's opinion.

@ shashxxl

If you had been very methodical in your argument, may be I would have been able to respond to you properly.
I am a Nigerian, Can you please tell me what benefits we (Nigeria and Nigerians) will derive from boycotting the Olympics?

If you already had a mindset, why bother post at all?

How many people remember what countries boycotted 1976 and 1980 Olympics?
How many people even remember why they were boycotted?
We should not be sucked into these American wars

Nigeria and Nigerians will not gain anything from the boycott!

The solutions would be, what the Iraqis want:
1. All US troops withdrawn
2. No NATO/UN peace keepers
3. A strong home-grown government
4. Reduce the militias
5. Reconstruction of infra structure

Solutions have to come from within

There is a short circuit in the dc circuitry
Could also be a short in the PA
Take the phone to a service centre

Racism, religion, tribalism etc are things we can not wish away
In most cases there are no rational reasons for them

NO!
Too limited
Too narrow minded
Old soldier mentality just like OBJ

I have read all the comments here
I have also listened to the Public Hearing
My conclusion is that, there are many Nigerians who take
advantage of the loopholes in the system, rather than
doing a good job.

And sadly, these very brilliant Nigerians are in the fore of running
our Power Sector!

@ poster
I feel your pains, young man, I was like you many years ago
But I am back home, trying to do my best in my own little way
Can be very frustrating and scary.
But I do understand the problems, I hope
It is not a hopeless case.

pahtahkee:
Who are the scare mongers

Radiation is still radiation whether in large amount or minute doses of exposure. It will result in bioaccumulation in the human system and long term exposure to such leaves with you. . . . .

Are you saying there are no Nigerians that hold as much as five mobile phones all at the same time?

Bioaccumulation from mobile phone transmission? No sir
Signals from these phones are not toxic

Nobody has proved positively, that using mobile phones has any ill effect on humans.
If there are contrary views, link me to the source(s)

pahtahkee:
However, mobile phones are electronic devices you use on a daily basis. They are electromagnetic devices, and emit certain level of radiation harmful to human health. You carry it on you all the time. Some individuals carry as much as three mobile phones at the same time, imagine the triple amount of exposure to radiation such an individual recieves.

You can only use one phone at a time, even if you carried ten at the same time
Emission/Radiation does not occur until you start using the phone

Radiation from these phones are very small
Dont allow the scare mongers to frighten you

He is an Mbadiwe wannabe!

@ poster
Changing phones is like changing cars

1. New and better capabilities
2. Ego - "My phone is better than yours mentality"
3. The old one is un-usable

What do I do with the old ones?
They are archived

Mobile phones are health hazards?
This is a myth. Never proven
You are likely to have radiation problems with your microwave ovens, the sun and power transmission lines!
Anyway the new phones are more sensitive and transmit less power than the pre-2005 phones!

Hydro, Coal and Gas
Nuclear is in the pipeline
For now, Solar is not a viable option because coal and gas are cheaper alternatives
and they are abundantly available locally

Another one trying to blame all, except himself
You can go where-ever, please never think you are better than everybody around you.
Goodluck!

Agree the only way to go is to privatise NEPA
But we need to find out the root cause of why NEPA has never worked, despite
the huge sum of money invested.

The president, is doing the right thing by hopefully trying to understand what the problems are
But there are too many thiefs in the system that will make genuine solutions very difficult, but
not impossible if the president is determined

The actual money released to NEPA since 1999 is $4.8bn as confirmed by the CBN and AGF
The $16bn beign branded all over the place is to create confusion by the clique
who benefits from this type of confusion and sensation

The president should start by identifying and dismantling this powerful clique

I will advise you go for the Visafone EVDO.
Especially the Platinum or the Gold
Speed is good and less congestion for now, unlike the Starcomm EVDO

The Glo 3G+ works on 3G mobile platform which still has limited coverage
When you use the Glo 3G+ in a 2.5G areas, your internet speed reduces

The fact that your equipment has the capability of connecting at 3.6mb/s does not mean that you are
provisioned for that speed. It is much lower than that.
In addition, Glo 3G+ allows for free access to the internet up to 3 GB, thereafter you will be billed at 35kobo/KB)

okoegwale:
Nigeria will sure take its rightful place in the 7th continent, The Internet.

The 7th continent - Thats a nice new one

bababuff:
Why all these hullabaloo about nothing? Is it because the CEO is a northerner?
None of you have been able to dispute the facts.

All the highlighted above are known facts. The West and The East controls everything. You guys are parasities.

You say them chop Government money, no be your southerner brothers teach them how to carry money to Swiss accounts.

No, it is not because he is a Northerner
It is because he is ignorant, condescending and a revisionist

And why didnt they use some of the "Swiss" money to develop the North?

Big B1:
Furthermore, just few days ago, Yar'Adua expressed his confidence in Michael Aondoaka, he also confirmed that his position as the attorney general is secured.

The president is not the flippant type
Quote your source

The reasons given by the Unity Bank MD are the real
reasons why we will not grow economically
There is no need to coerce the South South

The North and the South South have different reasons - cultural and historical for the lack of developments in those regions

Questions:
• How many presidents have we had from the North since independence?
• Who was in charge of Privatization?
• What happened to the Bank of the North?
• What is he doing to improve the status of the Unity bank (another name for bank of the North)
• What are the Northerners doing to change the economical structure?

The mindset of Northerners like Bello and his type will not allow NEPA to be unbundled
because of the fear of economical explosion in the south

He should blame his own people for underdevelopment in the North
instead of using other people as scapegoats and trying to
recruit the South South and whipping up sectional sentiments!

Sabisabi:
Now wey Obama don finish, lets move on. My people how can you help naija? This should be your concern not weather Obama clean him yansh after e shit.

You already had your 15 minutes of fame
Stop sounding like a cracked record
Create a thread on evolving Nigeria, starting with your own imputs

Is anybody doing the delegates' count?
Obama still leads!
And thats what matters
