Thomsbuky: Its prevalent in African and some Asia countries due to westerner agent carrier, because of their financial capability goes to poorer countries as tourist paying local for sex...in the process infect and spreading aids.. Infection rate is large and evidence in some east and south african countries like Malawi, Zambia, Kenya, Zimbabwe and south African as these area are tourist magnet and local infatuation with whites... Evidence of new strain highly resistance due to use of preventive resistance drugs abroad by western countries, aids carier travellers from abroad like Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon brought these back home and infect local people creating dangerous highly resistance type. Solution is to have safer sex.

Wrong, the high hiv prevalence rate in SADC is due to the migrant labour system practiced there for nearly a century. Nearly a million Mine workers from rural south Africa and other SADC countries would go to work on South Africa's mines and leave their wives behind, therefore sex with hiv positive prostitutes in the mine areas was the norm. That is why the areas in SADC where the mine workers were sourced have a high hiv rate. Of cos one can also argue that the racist apartheid government deliberately infected the mine workers to reduce the black population.

Apart from the fact that linking to that site goes against this forum's rules, how does that video add anything to the discussion? I'm certain that one can find heterosexual material just as gruesome as the prison rape video you linked to.
Btw, what was it that drew you interest to that video? You are one of those hypocritical Nigerians the article above was about. Do you enjoy searching and viewing homosexual material online?

This guy is most definitely a closet gay.

The looks gives him away, he's an igboman.

I don't like hair hats.

scipher: why don't you read the source he posted?

I know how these things start. Somebody is now going to post something bad about Nigeria, and very soon you'll have 30 pages of country bashing. Isn't the world bank the best source to show that south africa is worse than Nigeria?

Cubeet: With over 50million population in South Africa, 50% are poor, i.e only 25million of their population are not poor.The population of the rich and middle class in Nigeria is more than the overall population of South Africa. More than half population of children in South Africa are extremely poor

Why do you want to start another e-war? they're now going to post dirt on Nigeria. Did you really have to link to one of those white supremist sites to make your point?

@kwame tut
won't it be great if you'd post these on the thread i linked to, there are more people following that thread than this one. What does all this have to do with the military.

I think such a law exits in the north..

What is the correct figure for south africa's gdp? a little research from google gives a figure above $405billion in 2011, the figure today must have surely passed $410billion.

I heard that boko-haram took time off today.

Nigeria’s CSTD Center to Build New
Satellite by 2018

The Nigerian Center for Satellite Technology Development (CSTD) is launching an initiative to train Nigerian engineers to design, test and build a satellite by 2018,
CSTD Director Spencer Onuh confirmed Jan. 4.
Onuh said the center would work towards building a human capacity that would enable the country to meet the target build date. “Capacity building was a core module in the manufacture and launch of NigeriaSat-1, NigeriaSat-2, NigeriaSat-X and NigComSat-1-R, which are owned by Nigeria,” said Onuh.
Overall, the CSTD center has trained more than 50 Nigerian scientists, who were involved in the design, testing and launch of NigcomSat-1 and its replacement. The center trained 15 scientists for the NigeriaSat-1 program and 27 engineers for the NigeriaSat-2 and NigeriaSat-X programs.

It's Not Just Spam Scams And Petro-Terrorists; The West African Nation Also Has A Viable Space Program Aimed At Improving Lives

https://s1.ibtimes.com/sites/www.ibtimes.com/files/styles/v2_article_large/public/2013/09/26/img_1254.jpg
The historic Aug. 23, 1963, call between two inspirational leaders whose lives ended at the hands of assassins heralded the beginning of a new telecommunications era. But it also marked Nigeria’s first taste of “the peaceful use of space,” as Kennedy termed it during the two-minute conversation.

Today Nigeria has a growing space program of its own, with five satellites orbiting the globe. The devices have a range of purposes, and though there is ongoing controversy surrounding the high cost of funding their manufacture and launch, the program’s supporters cite benefits in areas as diverse as politics, natural disasters and business.

The agency’s vast campus in Nigeria’s capital is a physical testament to the many millions of dollars its federal government has poured into the program. For an idea of the scale of the program, NASRDA spent $13 million on its first satellite, Nigeria Sat-1, which was manufactured at Surrey Space Technologies in the U.K. and launched from a spaceport in Russia. Nig Sat-1 has been a resounding success, and it is still in use 10 years after it left the ground.

NASRDA has made significant strides since that first successful launch, and Ale says the agency is on track to meet its goal to design, build and launch a satellite of its own from a Nigerian launch site by 2020. That will mark many milestones, including the launch of a rocket that's neither a mortar nor an RPG from a Western African nation.


Unlike last century’s space race between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, which was as much about establishing supremacy in the final frontier as it was about providing real benefits to citizens, Nigeria’s space program is aimed squarely at improving people’s lives.

“The focus of our space program is on the socio-economic development of the country,” Ale told IBTimes in his airy office at the Abuja campus. “The best way to fast-track development in any part of the world today is through the application of space science and technology, and that informed the decision of the federal government of Nigeria to come up with the space program.

The agency, created in 1995, has six “centers of excellence” throughout Nigeria, which provide vital support to the Abuja headquarters. The Abuja campus is still where most of the real work on the country’s space program is done, and it is a strange sight to behold in a country better known for its urban slums and rural villages than for its aerospace adventures.

Spread over dozens of flat acres and about a 20-minute drive from central Abuja, the NASRDA campus greets visitors with a large cement gateway emblazoned with the name and symbol of the agency. It’s an imposing structure that guards the long driveway leading to the futuristic structures that comprise the agency’s nerve center.

The main NASRDA building looks like an architectural interpretation of an interstellar spacecraft, with tall, slanted concrete booms laid across a blue glass pyramid that evokes a space-age greenhouse. In the foyer, display models of satellites and rockets are bathed in a bluish light as the hot African sun pours in through tinted windows. The satellites are actual-size replicas of the ones on which Nigeria has spent millions of dollars to make a reality, and they are surprisingly diminutive considering their extensive capabilities.

https://s1.ibtimes.com/sites/www.ibtimes.com/files/styles/v2_article_large/public/2013/09/26/img_1232.jpg

The ground communications hub, a massive off-white stucco box topped with one of the programs’ many satellite dishes, is a few minutes’ walk from the main edifice, and it's where the bulk of NASRDA’s communications with its satellites begin.

A number of administrative and engineering buildings are strewn haphazardly across the rest of the grassy campus, and Ale mentioned that America’s NASA space agency has lent the program further legitimacy by installing its only observatory equipment based in Africa at the agency’s outpost in Toro, Nigeria.

Though NASRDA is a hive of ground-based activity, its most vital work takes place via five satellites orbiting thousands of miles above the Earth.

Nigeria has two satellites in orbit, and will be launching a third very soon, the third one is locally built.

Why are you so obsessed with people leaving Nigeria? just asking..

Litmus: Trust me these achievements just don't compare with Nigerians and remember Nigerian institutions are supposed to be rubbish.

Or you sure? do you know anything about these countries and what their students achieve? I gave you that because Nigerians seem to think that they're more business savvy than others. Why is there only one Nigeria in that list? I think whatever advantage Nigeria has is due to the population (overpopulation). You find more outliers in a bigger population who do well in whatever institution they go to, but the average student is not impressive.

Litmus: Intriguing


However, one thing baffles me; these league tables that continually elevate African Universities, Collages and places of technology above Nigerian institutes, why is it that students from these places never seem to outperform lowly Nigerian students in international achievements, recognition and competitions.


For example this: International Olympiad of Mathematics : http://imo2006.dmfa.si/results_itd.html

Well, i'm sure we can find many achievement from east and southern Africans. Look at this list of young entrepreneurs. East and Southern Africa dominate, I'm sure these guys went to those schools.

Before reaching the age of 40, ten African
entrepreneurs are among the top
millionaires in Africa. While in their 20s
and 30s, many of the young entrepreneurs
launched multi-million dollar companies
after dropping out of school, quitting their
jobs, or because Africa was in need of such
business. Both male and female, here are
ten successful young Africans who are
running top businesses in Africa.
