Today, there were no commercial vehicles on the roads in Owerri and I trekked more than I've trekked all my life, just because I wanted to cast my vote. Got to my polling unit by 7.30 without having breakfast, voting didn't start till 1pm. I don't regret it though, I contributed my quota to voting out lifelessness. I'm proud of myself |
goodnessme1:At least we know we tried |
no wonder he's lifeless. Like for Atiku, Share for Buhari
|
LiveByNight:you don't even need to go through this process. the "save as" dialog box shows an option to change the author name and details |
alexpod6891:Document properties can be easily change in MS Word in the "Save" dialog box |
goodnessme1:Please go and vote. We can only work for Biafra if were alive. Another 4 years of Buhari and hunger fit kill us finish. I've never voted before but I'll be going to my polling station at Ikenegbu, Owerri |
An interesting joke. While walking down the street one day a Senator is tragically hit by a truck and dies. His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance. 'Welcome to heaven,' says St. Peter. 'Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you.' 'No problem, just let me in,' says the man. 'Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.' 'Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,' says the Senator. 'I'm sorry, but we have our rules.' And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he went down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he found himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him. Everyone is very happy and dressed in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people. They played a friendly game of golf and then dined on lobster, caviar and champagne. Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly & nice guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it's time to go. Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and wave whilst the elevator rises.... The elevator rises and the door opens in heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him. 'Now it's time to visit heaven.' So, 24 hours pass with the Senator joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns. 'Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity.' The Senator reflects for a minute, then he answers: 'Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.' So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down down to hell. When the doors open he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above. The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. ' I don't understand,' stammers the Senator. 'Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened? ' The devil looks at him, smiles and says, ' Yesterday we were campaigning.. Today you voted!� Your vote is your voice. Vote wisely! Cheers all. |

meromero11:The Sukhoi isn't a US jet, it's Russian and the Russian are less feisty about selling their armaments than the US are. The US hides behind one blockade or the other to prevent selling weapons to other countries while the truth is that they want to maintain superiority |
zoedew:True talk, but every aircraft is eventually released to be purchased by other countries. what the US usually does is to sell lower-capability models to other countries. We can always purchase top-quality aircraft from the East (Russia) or the Orient (China etc al). also, it won't kill us if we start manufacturing. it'll be difficult but not impossible. When Peter Obi kept saying China this and China that, some people on this platform were saying he should go and contest in China. I laughed. I knew he was saying that because just 20 years ago, China were in as poor state as Nigeria, but they mapped out a plan for industrialization and look where they are now. I believe we can achieve greatness if we vote visionary leaders and we the led play our part. Shalom |
zoedew:thanks boss. |
davillian:We'll get it right someday, so help us God |
chrisblack:Of course I know not every aerial platform can be purchased easily, but I know every bureaucracy can be surpassed. The Boeing E-3 sentry was formerly not sold to other countries but right now it's used by Saudia Arabia, France and other countries. The super tucano is great. I didn't say it wasn't, but you know what would be greater? A multi-role fighter. The SU-25 would've been much better, in my opinion. Also, my mind isn't shallow. |
rusher14:Lolz. You can buy the toy versions at those stores. Of course you need to handle bureaucratic bottlenecks when purchasing these aircraft, but some aircraft don't need express government permissions |
texazzpete:You have to stay prepared. There's a reason other countries buy armaments that you might think they don't need l |
olawonder:I know there's a lot of other things to consider when purchasing military hardware. I didn't put those into consideration. I just listed some aircraft that will be perfect for our country and I gave their market prices. In the end, after including cost of logistics, contractual terms, bureaucracy and others, the cost per aircraft will increase. shalom. |
davillian:We don't even know what we're doing. Our so-called neighbours can one day decide to over-run the country for some reason. They'll take out our super tucano and alpha jets within 20 minutes |
kunmiiii:I didn't take foreign policies into consideration. Of course I know some countries won't sell, I simply gave a list of aircraft that'll suit the Nigerian situation with their prices |
BigBen10:They don't really need to budget up to that amount, but they can afford a quarter of that to upgrade their air superiority |
Olawalesmarter:Lol. No. I'm a defence aficionado |
abbeynism:I said 3 billion dollars. The super tucano was designed as a light-attack craft. heck, they're propeller-driven. They're very subpar when compared to modern aircraft. A country like Nigeria needs 5th-gen aircraft if we're to mitigate 21st-century threats |
Kennedyiheme:We have visionless leaders. Shagari was the only Nigerian president who properly equipped the army. most of the ammunition we currently use were bought during his era |
This is a government of thievery. They paid for 12 Super Tucano aircraft at a cost of $496 million! An ancient aircraft used during the world war. $496 million will get us up to 23F-16 fighter jets. 3 billion dollars will change Nigerian Air force into one that every country will recon with. 20 F-15C Eagle (600 million USD) for air support 4 Sukhoi PAK FA ($200 million USD) as 5th-gen stealth fighters. They're still under development. Won't hurt to be the first African country to own one. 30 F-16C Fighting Falcon/Viper (564 million USD): Extremely successful and we can use it as a multi-role fighter 2 E-3 Sentry AWACS (540 million USD): A pity that the so-called giant of Africa has none of these. 2 KC-10 Extender (265 million USD): For aerial refueling of the fighter jets. We can also use it as a cargo plane. 7 MQ-9 Reaper UAVs (118 million USD): Drone warfare is the future of aerial combat. We have a couple of chinese drones but these ones are one of the best. 15 UH-1Y Venom (262 million USD): Multi-role and all purpose choppers. We can use them ground attack, air assault, medevac....name it, this helicopter can do it 5 A-10 Warthogs (95 million USD): Awesome jets for close air support 1 B-1B Bomber (283 million USD): Supersonic bomber. It'll blow enemies into oblivion before they know what hit em Embraer Lineage 1000 (60 million USD): For VIP transport. It'll have anti-missile counter-measures We'll still have $13,000,000 left after buying all these. Please we should make the right choice in this incoming election. Vote someone who knows to push this country forward *For those quoting, please I didn't put government bureaucractic bottlenecks and logistic constraints into consideration

Valro:I like how you said PRIVATELY. Some things are best left in the private, but morality has gone to the dogs and that's why you see such nonsense online |
buttlover:How do you do it? You simply rub it on your jaw? |

mr man, military hardware are not contracted that way at all! For every $1 spent on the actual gears, $2 has to be spent on contractors fees, middle men palava and approvals frm the ogas at the top (foreign powers). Moreover every country has maximum limits on military spending budgeted by the big wigs and countries without signitory to certain treaties or agreements can be denied puchase of the weakest armoury. Not even countries with more power and might than Nigeria can get anywhere close to having any of these wares u listed here... its not cash and carry type of ‘bizness’ u guys claim to be expert in o.
