NIgeria is a Signatory to the Ottawa Treaty.
saintjoel:
I don't know why The Nigerian army have overlooked the anti-personal mines in COIN Operations. These toys could be used to secure perimeters and FOBs in the Niger-delta and North-East, coupled with pre-cordinated artillery fire or mortar fire, they will wreak havoc on any BH trying to attack them.

The M18A1 Claymore mine has a horizontally convex gray-green plastic case (inert training versions are light blue or green with a light blue band). The shape was developed through experimentation to deliver the optimum distribution of fragments at 50 m (55 yd) range. The case has the words "FRONT TOWARD ENEMY" embossed on the front of the mine.[3] A simple open sight on the top surface allows for aiming the mine. Two pairs of scissor legs attached to the bottom support the mine and allow it to be aimed vertically. On both sides of the sight are fuse wells set at 45 degrees.

Internally the mine contains a layer of C-4 explosive behind a matrix of about seven hundred 1⁄8-inch-diameter (3.2 mm) steel balls set into an epoxy resin.

When the M18A1 is detonated, the explosion drives the matrix forward, out of the mine at a velocity of 1,200 m/s (3,937 ft/s),[1] at the same time breaking it into individual fragments. The steel balls are projected in a 60° fan-shaped pattern that is 6.5 feet (2.0 m) high and 50 m (55 yd) wide at a range of 50 m (55 yd). The force of the explosion deforms the relatively soft steel balls into a shape similar to a .22 rimfire projectile.[1] These fragments are moderately effective up to a range of 100 m (110 yd), with a hit probability of around 10% on a prone man-sized 1.3-square-foot (0.12 m2) target. The fragments can travel up to 250 m (270 yd). The optimum effective range is 50 m (55 yd), at which the optimal balance is achieved between lethality and area coverage, with a hit probability of 30% on a man-sized target.[4]

The weapon and all its accessories are carried in an M7 bandoleer ("Claymore bag"wink. The mine is detonated as the enemy personnel approaches the killing zone. Controlled detonation may be accomplished by use of either an electrical or non-electrical firing system. When mines are employed in the controlled role, they are treated as individual weapons and are reported in the unit fire plan. They are not reported as mines; however, the emplacing unit must ensure that the mines are removed, detonated, or turned over to a relieving unit. The 100-foot (30 m) M4 electric firing wire on a green plastic spool is provided in each bandoleer. The M57 firing device (colloquially referred to as the "clacker"wink is included with each mine. An M40 circuit test set is packed in each case of six mines. When the mines are daisy chained together, one firing device can detonate several mines.

The mine can be detonated by any mechanism that activates the blasting cap. There are field-expedient methods of detonating the mine by tripwire, or by a timer, but these are rarely used.

Well Said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
rumenase:
I agree with yu that various breed of dogs came by mixing several dog breed. the boerboel for example was made to guard the farm stead and they are various things yu look out for such as size, temperament, health, looks etc to produce the dog best suited for whatever yu have in mind. but it takes time(many years), knowledge, experience,foresight,capital etc the dog breeds we have today were not breed out of curiosity but they were bred for various reasons unlike yu that want to breed out of curiosity and I pray that your curiosity should not kill yu. secondly illegal cross breeding like yours undo all the hard work the breeder went through in producing that breed and at no point in time were the pups of those dogs ever sold to the public till they meet the standard I can bet yu will advertise those pups as boerlitan mastiff sell them to the public due to greed and the greedy buyers will still go ahead to mate those mutts(not all dogs are supposed to he used for breeding) there are many reasons to give but I will drop my phone at this point. thank yu
CareerRe: Please Help! My Former Employer Demands I Refund A Month Salary... by Patented:
MyPrinceMeLuv the notice is dependent on the provisions of your contract/letter/ of employment. what do you terms of employment have to say regarding the notice?

In the absence of such spelt out terms , section 11 of the Labour act provides that a person who has been in employment for more than three months but less than 2 years is required to give only one weeks notice.

now pay for the advice.

No need for Grammer. I would personally not do it . Don't think everything the manufacturers says or you see on rides are truly correct. Those two magnets alone wouldn't pick all the metal shavings. You don't know what part it came from actually within. Writing from experience
lol, can't help the grammar.

However experiences differ. I know a guy whose car had metal shavings yet he serviced the gear and used it for abt 2 more years before he sold it. did not have issues within the 2 year period.
BusinessRe: Barclays Bank Asks Nigerians With Less Than £100,000 To Close Their Accounts by Patented: 6:42am On Aug 03, 2017
hmmm. this will be hard on some people oooo. Chances are that a Nigerian with less than 100k in his account probably did not steal it. those that steal and take abroad tend tosteal faaaaaaaaaaarrrr!!!! more than this.

You want to service a gearbox having metal shavings in it already? shocked
am not an expert and my opinion is based on personal experience and conversations with auto mobile technicians.

Now if you contrary advise orr knowledge do say,don't just put a smartiah question up that helps no one.

metal shavings are inevitable in gears with age, that's why e magnets are put in e system to collect them so they don't cause damage. that is what I HV been told and what I have read. if you wanna help out pls feel free to offer advise. just dropping a Q out there with a smiley amounts to throwing the spanner in the works of a failing engine and walking away. who e EPP?
Car TalkRe: My Car Gear Don't Select Easily What Could Be The Cause, And How Do I Solve It. by Patented: 2:23pm On Aug 02, 2017
well when i had such an issue i had to change the gear. My ,mechanic said some people may repair but that its likely to fail agian and that there are no guarantees that the repair wold be effective. so chances are you will need to change the gear if it is damaged.

idamokoemmanuel:
thanks for your information, if the gear is damaged, as you said what do i do
Car TalkRe: My Car Gear Don't Select Easily What Could Be The Cause, And How Do I Solve It. by Patented: 11:31am On Aug 02, 2017
The Gear May be damaged already, or it may just be in need of servicing. servicing involves replacing the oil, clearing out sediments and iron filings and cleaning the multiple filters in the Gear system. there are magnets within the system that collect metal filings those, filings too wld be cleaned out.

so do a service and it should improve....unless there is permanent damage already.

All of you will leave the questions and be digressing?
I asked very simple questions based on inference from the statements of these young women who use the broke tag for young men.
It is very simple address the questions and stop digressing. And if its beyong your mental capavity stay away angry
ur need to insult says a lot. nonetheless I will nt follow suit. infidelity.........randy...........kinda fall in d same category don't u think.

an opinion diff from urs is not an insult, its an opinion.......,.....don't be like that. online fights and mudslinging is actually pointless
RomanceRe: A Non-broke Nigerian Man Doesn't Owe Any Nigerian Woman Fidelity by Patented: 10:42am On Jul 29, 2017
if you wanna be randy then be rand, don't use the fact that some babe abused u for being broke and Nw u got money as an excuse. what is inside you is what you manifest. chances are when you were broke u were nt even faithful.

its amazing Hw we justify ish. the fact that you need to explain to justify an action already suggests that you conscience tells you it ain't righ
