Check out how the Chinese military is employing hackers to attack American corporations. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-21502088

Below are some highlights.

A secretive branch of China's military is probably one of the world's "most prolific cyber espionage groups", a US cyber security firm has said.

The scale of the Chinese hacking alleged by the computer security firm Mandiant is striking. Until now the bulk of this hacking has been a digital version of old-fashioned industrial espionage - stealing designs and company secrets.

But there is a more sinister side to this activity as well. Chinese hackers are alleged to have a growing interest in gaining access to key parts of the US infrastructure - gas lines, power grids and waterworks. President Barack Obama himself warned during his recent State of the Union address that the nature of the cyber threat was changing.

Gaining access to critical systems is the key. Once inside the digital perimeter - especially if the intrusion is not identified, there is the possibility of causing real physical damage to the infrastructure that the computers control.

Among the findings about APT1 in the report were that it:

-is staffed by hundreds, possibly thousands, of proficient English speakers with advanced computer security and networking skills

-has hacked into 141 companies across 20 industries, 87% based in English-speaking countries, and is able to steal from dozens of networks simultaneously

-has stolen hundreds of terabytes of information including blueprints, business plans, pricing documents, user credentials, emails and contact lists

-stayed inside hacked networks for an average of 356 days, with the longest lasting 1,764 days

-targeted industries identified by China as strategically important under its Five Year Plan for economic growth


How can Nigeria and other African countries continue to entrust key infrastructure projects to China (like the AU HQ in Ethiopia) when they can easily backstab us in the future and sabotage us? How can anyone do business with these crooks? They smile while doing business with you but then they will steal everything they can get their hands on.

God does not have a race! He is not human, he is spiritual. We cannot quantify him in any physical sense, so race is totally irrelevant. But God is the God of all creation, all peoples.

The Jews are a chosen nation of God, but they have repeatedly forsaken him and his prophets. But God did not forsake them or the non-Jews. And that is why Jesus came, to not only save Israel, which turned their backs to Him, but also to save the entire mankind. The old testament was written from a Jewish perspective, no doubt about that, but so what? Why do you hate the Jews? Are they not human beings? Maybe you feel so inferior to them that you hate everything that has to do about them.

nep2ra:

Who is the God of the Bible? What race did this God identify with? Study the Bible from the beginning to the end and you find out it's a story from a Jewish perspective.

You know what's called "reading between the lines"? I know very well about the story of the Canaanite woman, and there's a perfectly good explanation for it. Jesus put stumbling blocks to see whether she would truly humble herself before Him. When He told her that salvation is for the Children(Jews) and not the dogs(gentiles), she answered that even the dogs would want crumbs from the table. This passage showed that in order to receive God's salvation, we must swallow our pride. Jesus healed the Canaanite woman's daughter, despite what seemed to be racist words from His mouth. The bible obviously portrayed the woman in a positive light compared to the arrogant Jewish Pharisees of the temple.

History necessitates written accounts. Written accounts of the Hebrews predates that of any peoples living in present-day Nigeria. But having an older history does not make a group superior or inferior. The group that has the longest continuous written history is the Chinese, and look at them today, a mediocre group with nothing to show for.

Logicboy03:

Jesus himself said that he came for the lost sheep of isreal. He didnt even want to heal the Canaanite woman because she wasnt an isrealite!


You are a Jewish slave. You believe that the first people on earth have hebrew names (Adam and Eve) and you are their descenedant

Go and read about Nigerian history, we have a history older than hebrew itself.

They deserve death, but we are taught to forgive. However, if they don't change their wicked ways, then we must be separate from these human filth.

Freiburger:
I thought the bible asked you to kill them. like most of your governments are doing.

When people are losing arguments and cannot think of things to say, they resort to insults instead of logical counterarguments.

rhymz: hahahahah. . . I just realized I shouldn't be arguing with you, your I.Q is below average, I was hoping you would at some point up the game and argue intelligently with facts and not just stewpid uninformed personal opinions borne out of hatred and paranoia.
Goodluck with your dumb arguments, let me know when get a little intelligence

It is you who uses ad hominem attacks and ignores what I have to say when you can't counter my points. So, it baffles me as to how you can ask if I'm debating with reason.

You imply that believing in the God of the Bible is a sign of an inferiority complex. Why are you interpreting the Bible from the Jewish point of view? You know the Christian interpretation of the Bible with respect to the Jews does not in anyway render non-Jews or Africans inferior. The fact that you would rather see it from the Jewish point of view exposes your own inferiority complex, not mine.

nep2ra:

Ask yourself this sincere question; does it sound like you are debating with reason?

To answer your question, I'm not a self-hating African. Do I look like an inferiority complexed African who is fixated on some Jewish God?

The Bible taught us we are responsible for our community. If someone does something abhorrent, then we must rebuke them or refuse to associate with them. Since your kind is obviously deadset on being against the ways of God and are intent to pursue your wicked lifestyles of sodomizing and atheism, we must separate you so as to not be punished with you guys. It's simply a matter of self-preservation.

Freiburger:
That is what your religion thought you. kicking people out.

Why is Nairaland being inundated suddenly with Atheists and Homosexuals? Let's track their addresses and kick them out of Nigeria so we are not punished along with them by Almighty God!

WHAT IS THERE TO EXPLAIN? THERE IS NO CONNECTION! I've explained that we have no way of knowing if Nigeria was not religious we would have less corruption. Corruption may simply be the result that colonialism have had on us. I've already pointed to the example of former Communist countries, who have lost their religious beliefs under Communism, are all struggling with high rates of corruption because they have lost their sense of morality.

nep2ra:

Yet you haven't explained the correlation between Nigeria's religiosity and the high rate of corruption and wickedness.

Instead of debating with reason, you resort to childish insults. Tell me what doesn't make sense here? Or are you just another self-hating African?

nep2ra:

Did I just read this poo?

I happen to deal with Chinese merchants on a regular basis here. I guess you don't mind being mistreated and exploited by your Chinese boss, you self-hating scum. Let's talk about facts and perceptions, despite shiny skyscrapers and modern cities you can find on the internet about China, the fact is that the income is very unequally distributed (more so than Nigeria! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:GINI_retouched_legend.gif), so that only a tiny aristocratic minority have the privilege of enjoying them. The average peasant worker in China is no better off than the average Nigerian. Compared with China, Nigeria has much more social mobility. Nigeria is the land of opportunity even despite our corrupt government.

If only we have regular power supply, Nigeria would be a much better place to live. And with God's grace we are getting it. Power has improved in the past few years.

rhymz: My boss is Chinese, I have had way more interactions with Asians and middle esterners than you can ever have.
Opinions are like butt-holes, everyone has one but facts are sacred and sacrosanct. Facts don't lie, I am sure you can access google on your device, go and check and compare Nigeria's standard of living and that of the chinese and see how dumb you sound. The rest of your post is not worth any serious response as they are obviously conjectural crap of a short-sighted local dude that has never been anywhere besides the limits of Nigeria.

I'm not condemning anyone. It's you who seem to be self-hating, and who seem to suggest that all non-Nigerians have it better. You've never been to China, you've never interacted with Chinese, so how do you know they have it better than us? I tell you with personal experience that their society is much more dysfunctional. You can tell something is seriously wrong with their society when they make such defective products to sell here in Nigeria. Would people who have dignity and pride in themselves manufacture and sell such useless junk? The Chinese government is far more oppressive and corrupt than Nigeria. They may have a slightly better standard of life on average than Nigerians, but that was not always true. I suggest that you stop looking down on Nigeria.

Is this what this is all about? An inferiority complex on your part about being Nigerian? Since Nigerians are more religious than others, you think that being religious is bad. Before you stop denying God, I suggest you first stop hating yourself and stop looking down on Nigerians.

rhymz: you are a typical example of how religion can misinform, cause hatred and intolerance amongst people. See how quick you condemn the chinese all because they don't share your senile beliefs. So christian of you to condemn a whole race for the sins of a few. I better in your deluded mind you are morally and religiously better than the chinese. But you fail to understand that in order to guage that, you have to first look at the values of the society that you are in. I bet an average Chinese person has a way better standard of life than an average Nigerian, why is that, this because an average Chinese person does not think of himself alone but the generality of the chinese society, that is why they will organize themselves, toil and work, set laws to guide their existence and with the gains, they make life better, easier and enjoyable to live compare that to Nigeria and see how you sound like a bleeping person with dishonesty written all over your forehead. You type will kill anyone that does not agree with him and feel justified with himself.
You can't seem to comprehend your god's plan because there is no plan and he is nowhere exactly. You only comprehend something that exist not a non-entity like your God.

WHY DO THEY ALL LOOK ALIKE ARE THEY ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS EWWWWW!!!

If you're eating garri everyday, and you have a phone, your phone is a chinco phone.

rhymz: Nigeria will do anything to be like the chinese.

Maybe you do, but I think most Nigerians look down on chincos because all they do is sell fake goods and have no sense of being human in their lives. They live like insects or robots without a soul, slaving away for money, and having nothing else to live for. They don't even care about the millions of poor chincos living in their own country even if they themselves get rich. Chincos and Indians are the most uncharitable people in the world. They have no sense of community and compassion for each other.

rhymz: Where da Bleep is Jesus when innocent childrien are dying painful death, your pastor Adeboye, OLEdEpo, Samuel, Muoka and co living like dons what have they contributed in the lives of an average starving Nigeria child. All they do show up when the money counts and collect 10%, when time get rough they tell you to eat Jesus while they eat real food and live their dream like in reality. Aint you tired of being stoopid?

Again, we cannot comprehend God's plan. We can't act like we can understand why there are so much suffering and inequality. I'm fine just having faith. Life without faith or hope is not worth living. But that doesn't mean that I wouldn't do something about poverty or help people.

I can't rule out that some pastors are corrupt, but if they can bring people to have hope and optimism in their lives, then maybe they deserve the blessing that God has given them.

Most of what you write doesn't really make any sense. I'll respond to the ones that I can understand.

With regards to corruption, how do you know that if Nigerians aren't as religious, we wouldn't be just as or even more corrupt? I believe that if Nigerians are Atheists, we would be much more corrupt. Look at the nonreligious former Communist countries like Russia or China, their corruption overshadows ours, and their leaders and businesspeople have even less regard for human life than Nigerians.

BTW, why do you refer Nigeria as "your country"? Are you not Nigerian?

If I were raised in Saudi Arabia by Saudi parents, I would probably be a Muslim. What's your point? Are you drunk or getting high already? You're not really writing coherently at this point.

ifeness:

I am wise ,that is why i am questioning you ,not your god...... he doesn't exist! My concern is how your country has become the most corrupt in the world,why? A lot of hungry and brainwashed people who cannot stand up to their criminal pastors.

You are able to communicate with millions of people in a go,thanks to technology. I am sure your god now has an email address or Jewsus


There are so many scientific discoveries, proofs, etc. that contradict Christianity, but most Christians don't even want to hear about it, let alone believe it.Why?

Had you been raised in Saudi Arabia by muslim parent, you would have been a muslim.

ifeness:

Fear your god? Not everyone Nigeria is brainwashed u know.

ifeness:

Nature bless the landscape of africa with resorces. Blacks are only lucky to find themselves there. How well are we utilising the resources? Nigeria won Afcon with hard work ,luck and determination not God! Stop dragging him into anything good ! The practice f tolerance in Europe is the reason muslims can reside there otherwise people like you will still be slaves in the plantations

China is advancing in technology still. STOP SNEAKING GOD INTO ANYTHING GOOD AND SNEAK HIM OUT WHEN THING TURN BAD.

You, sir, are ungrateful and too impatient. Who are we, simple human beings, to question God's plan for us? I believe God has a grand plan for us Africans to reform our countries and put the resources to good use. We blacks have gained more rights and status not by the kindness or enlightenment of whites, but by God's deliverance. Remember it is those same Europeans with their technology to develop an industrial death machine to systematically gas Jews, Gypsies and others to death. Technology does not make monsters act more humane.

This woman will kill that b a s t a r d in his sleep. Oyibos are crazy.

HOW WILL THIS AFFECT THE PRICE OF GARRI?

Let's find them whereever they are in Naija and put the fear of God in them.

logica: I hope you have not stopped weeping. But I support you. You should launch a crusade or jihad against these dirty Atheists!

Sagamite:

You mean the kind of "curse" he is putting on the non-religious Western world and the kind of "blessings" he is putting on overly-religious Africa?

Mugu!

I am sure you find peace when Olopaa is slapping you on the street in Nigeria and throwing you in jail until your relatives come and pay bail that is not in the statute book. What a blessing you have.

God is not yet punishing you enough for your religiousity?

How can you Atheists be so blind? He has blessed Africans with incredibly rich resources. And just last week blessed Naija with Afcon Cup. I believe that secular western nations that are doing well now is a trial for our faith. But make no mistake, the sun will set on Europe: the Muslims are outbreeding them in their own country!

But look at China, where they have no religion, people there have lost all sense of morality, selling poisonous food, lead paint toys and other defective goods. Look at how Nigerians are suffering in their wicked country. Tell me how a Christian nation could be as bad as China.

Proud Igbo here. If you think Igbos are behind this to kill Yorubas, you are seriously retarded. If Igbos leave Lagos, it would grind to a halt. Nigeria can't do without Yorubas or Igbos, so why can't we just grow up and get along?

Seun, Moderators, why haven't you banned this thread for corrupting the moral values of our beloved Nigeria with this wicked devilish Atheism??! Doesn't Nigeria have enough problems without God putting His curse (God forbid!) on us for having so many Atheists? If we do not shut these Atheists up and totally annihilate Atheism we will have blood on our hands when we are punished for allowing such filth in our midst!

Atheists, this may be in vain but Jesus Christ died for you too! You have a purpose in this life that God has planned for you! Find it and you will find peace.

I don weep 4 Naija.

Hi, I'm a proud Igbo from Onitsha, living in Enugu.

They're doing something right for the first time. PAVING THE WAY FOR FASHOLA!

NAIJA WIN 4 SURE NOW!

GOAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Why are we fighting in Mali when we have a similar problem in the North

I'm Igbo but I want Fashola for Nigeria. We need to stop being so damm tribalist.

I'm sorry for our neighbor to the Northwest, but Burkina Faso has zero chance against Nigeria. I was very confident about Nigeria before yesterday, but after Mali's easy defeat of Ghana, I'm even more confident. It showed that Burkina Faso simply defeated a weak and unmotivated Ghanaian team that even Mali could defeat.

I'm planning my celebration party already for the Super Eagles. No need to actually wait until the end of the match. Not many things in life are certain, but a Nigerian win is definitely certain.
