PetsRe: Reason Why Cats Are Better Than Dogs While Choosing A Pet ( Pictures) by Patented:
its very shortsighted to classify one pet as better than the other. every pet has its benefits and every prospective pet owner knows what he wants in a pet. So cats are not better than dogs or vice versa, also neither is better than a parrot or a fish or a tortoise or a rabbit.
PetsRe: Can A Dog Live Without Taking Anti Rabies Vacine by Patented: 10:43am On Sep 05, 2017
A vaccine is a preventive measure. not giving your Dog anti rabies vaccine would not automatically result in death or disease. However if your dog gets exposed to the virus that causes rabies then it becomes a danger to you and everybody around as it could transfer the infection via bite and the infection can be fatal to both dog and human. So get your dog vaccinated to prevent tears in future. Also read up on vaccines generally

lol, just dont complain when your best Pals here do the same.

Henry240:
The existence of ARA is worthy of celebration, and everyone has the right to celebrate the ARA in the manner they see fit. So if any individual decides to say the ARA would be one of the best MRAPs in the world, perhaps we need to sit back and say, he probably is seeing the vehicle from an angle different from others. I see nothing wrong with that.

The company's reply to me is quite clear, the programme continues to undergo testing and modifications. We are not all praise singing the vehicle, neither is the manufacturer, but we sure are in a celebratory mode. I mean, considering were we are coming from.

The majority of the individuals who have commented have expressed a positive outlook. I believe it is going to be one of the best MRAPs available in the market. I am this optimistic. cheesy cheesy
Foreign AffairsRe: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Patented: 7:50am On Aug 30, 2017
You Kinda Made my point, you said the Southies ridiculed the PF2 prematurely and had to eat thier words. It goes to say that u should generally not start rating (positive or negative) before you have actual stats. The very existence of the ARA is worthy of celebration. its good for the country that were are beginning to produce tech with export potential. a successful ARA could save a lot of hard earned forex and frees us from
many meddlesome interlopers.

But note that if everyone sat back and had nothing but praise and outstanding ratings for the PF vehicle, it will never have matured. Maturity comes from critical analysis of facts not praise singing. a positive outlook is quite different form some of the conclusions i have seen on this thread since the ARA was revealed.

I am all for the ARA and I celebrate it, cos we have come a long way compared to where we were a few years ago. but before I say its the "best anything" i want it to be proven to be so..........so when i beat my chest everybody stands down.

I know the ARA will succeed today or tomorrow. lets just not jump the gun and make factual statements without any facts to go on.
Henry240:
I kinda disagree here. There is nothing wrong with rating the Ara highly. A positive outlook will eventually lead to a positive result.

The Ara is a new vehicle which is still undergoing testing and modifications, it will surely get better as time progresses. Take a look at the PF2, when it was first launched, the South-Africans laughed at the tires. However today, we have now seen a vehicle that is mature and has achieved measure of commercial success both in Nigeria and exports. So, what's to say we won't see the same thing with the Ara.

Let us remember why we have to celebrate, we are celebrating because before 2013 none of all these existed.

SupremeCourt:

IGIRIGI is an army local workshop fabrication on an average chassis and engine. ARA is a factory built product on a chassis and engine made by a Czech company with track record of excellent product performance since 1923. Your comparison is not correct, sorry to say.
I have not compared the Igirigi with the ARA. what I have compared is the hoopla that heralded the announcement of each vehicle. what I caution against is the rating of a vehicle that has not been tested in a hostile environment. Even the manufacturers say they are yet to complete testing. So we should wait before we start rating it or pronouncing it the best anything.

nothing confirmed or official , but i heard it had some mobility issues and the Soldiers were not too sold out on it

EducationRe: See What A U.S. University Says About Nigerians Studying There by Patented: 9:36am On Aug 29, 2017
there must be something about our geographical location. Nigerians go abroad and excel and become exemplary citizens, but once they come home na craze go show. only a Nigerian would treat a foreign land better than he would treat his own home.
Foreign AffairsRe: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Patented: 9:08am On Aug 29, 2017
Hallelujah!!! the ARA looks Good Yeah but its not been Battle tested so lets chill. I remember the praise singing about the IGIRIGI but.................... give the vehicle tym before we start rating.
jakeporeshenko:
I completely agree with you, generally we agreed on this thread to stop making comparisons and proud statements that include “best in Africa”. We don’t like when the SA guys do it so we shouldn’t do it either.

Well said. By the way my name is John Smith.

pocohantas:
She is right.
Though boyfriend allowance might be overboard, it doesn't sit well with the male ego...but if your woman doesn't give you anything, something is fundamentally wrong.

No matter the little she has, she should be able to scratch out something to spoil you. Even is it's fruits she buys.
