As a born again Christian who is meant to speak the truth at all times, i encourage all our Christian brothers to emulate our Muslim counterparts in their decent way of life. Even though I'm a born again Christian, i have never seen a Muslim that will impregnate a Christian.

You didn't read the part where the girl insisted on keeping the marriage since Muslims men impregnate Christian girls too without this raising any dust.

This is a classical case of religious intolerance tainted with jealousy. I suspect the girl had secret lover within her own Muslim brothers.

Now, the unborn child is already a without a father before his arrival in this world. Where is the sense in this?
Humans are simply greedy social animals

Satellite has a higher latency than ptp(which would be what they would use) With good radio's u'd get good latency 10ms or less

Cumulative on several links could be pretty high and unpredictable. Iridium LEO communication satellites latency figure is about 40-50ms. A better but more expensive investment.

impressive, local content at its best, kudos, kudos.
we need drones, drones, drones... God we need more drones. I know some more are coming in, just cant wait.
who believes the attack on the Governors convoy would have been possible with a MALE drone loitering above.
who believes soldiers going out on routine clearance operations should have drones overhead for support to identify where enemy fire is coming from and taking out those targets.
In my opinion, I'm thinking controlling the drones with satellite(uplink) and relaying videos(downlink) is proving super expensive, could that be the reason why we don't have these UAV's in great numbers at this time, no other reason comes to mind as to why we dont have 50 to 100 UAV's at this point. I know we've been clamoring for UAV's since forever because it just seems like a no-brainer right? If we factor in the dollar cost of the communication link for these UAV's then maybe it makes sense as to why we dont have UAV's in great numbers just yet .

So i will suggest we stick to line of sight communications for now, but instead of the just one base station that controls the gulma or tsaigumi, the military should have at least 15 - 20 base stations to cover the entire north-east, north central, base stations like the ones telecommunication providers use but special purpose for communication with UAV's and to also relay communication to the next tower and the next tower and the next tower until it gets to command station. This should eliminate the need for satellite for uplink and downlink; then GPS can just be used for current location of UAV relative to the map- this literally cost pennies.
Think about it, if a UAV loiters for 15 -24 hrs, constantly sending HD video over satellite, I think we can all guess it'll get expensive really fast.
But if we adopt the multiple ground station method, I think we can overcome this hiccup, even though we have a geostationary satellite of our own NIGCOMSAT 1R is 1 out of the 5 satellites we've put up, I'm guessing its still very expensive for the military to utilize this satellite effectively and efficiently.

Multiple ground station control for UAV is not so effective because of high latency throughput on the several relay links.
Multiple ground station could work well with satellite links as redundancy and handover mechanism for the UAV.
Still expensive but can be done.

A major stakeholder in this war is not happy with the resettlement plan.

Zulum has his work cut out for him. As it is, he is willing to bound his people to the Philistines. I don't think this will go down well with his people eventually.

Let me help out. What exactly is the origin of Oba Of Lagos?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oba_of_Lagos

These south Africans are really stupid. If it's true that foreigners run the drug circle, apprehend them and deport them immediately or send them to prison for the rest of their lives.

If not, they should please spare the world all these rantings.

Why is the Nigerian government keeping quiet over these SARS police. Is it that Nigerians have become more criminal that the unit is the only solution to crime in this country.

Lot of questions needs to be asked about this SARS unit.

Very mature response.

Are those agencies not federal government owned. When did customs and FIRS become local government agencies.

Very soon na for Zoom NLC and TUC go to do their strike. Mumu people

Mumu

Lynching na like carnival for Calabar these days. Anybody wey lose guard for that town na to bite dust.

chrisagyei:
hahaha,go and build shops for your 200 million Nigerians in Nigeria first before coming to think of millions of Nigerians who escaped hardship from your country to Ghana and broke the trade laws in Ghana. Abuja which you spent billions of dollars to build is a political mini town and white elephant built for your elites and nothing goes on over there except politicians looting your oil money.

In Ghana we have Kumasi which houses the largest market in West Africa and largest spare parts dealership town in West Africa,Accra which has an economy of 35 billion dollars and Tema which houses the second largest port and harbour in West Africa and the largest industrial city in West Africa.Sekondi-Takoradi which houses the second largest port in Ghana,crude oil city and a very huge commercial twin cities.Ghana has a GDP purchasing power of 206 billion dollars thus retailing is the hottest business in town thus your people can't leave since we started closing your shop in 2007.

You guys don't even know Kumasi is the largest populated city in Ghana and is the commercial hub of Ghana.You think Accra is everything in Ghana,you're mistaken.Ghana is diversified. Fix your poverty capital of the world issue,electricity issue,pipe water in every home issue,corruption issue, security issues before thinking of repatrating your citizens cos they will run back again in no short time.In Ghana, no foreigner is supposed to open a shop that's why we intentionally put 1 million dollars as the criteria because no foreign retailer can afford that buh your people still rush here in their thousands to open shops.Ghana has no issue with Nigeria by the way.Peace.

You write like a stark illiterate. I wonder how much Ghanians pay in foreign countries to start their businesses.

mysticwarrior:
it is a shame for an army officer with a rank of such magnitude to be slained in such manner.

Losing a senior officer to an ambush should be of concern. It seems the terrorists are concentrating more on these ambushes.

Cerveau:
It's most definitely going to be a tough week ahead for Oshiomole as most of his political enemies have started calling him out.

Watch the video of Dino Melaye mocking Oshiomole for losing the just concluded Edo election.

Will this be the end of Oshiomole's political career?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEJEh9Bcgqg

Very emotional for Dino Melaye. Ondo is next

The people of Edo don't condone injustice.

Abi INEC don migrate there infrastructure to bank network. They are always having network problem.

Less than 500,000 data from a small geopolitical space, they are already fidgeting.

As usual, LASG will deny and disown such in order to save face.

Thunderbolt will strike all those that flustered this government on Nigerians.

Cyberterror:
Our power infrastructure has really suffered in the hands of these PDP quacks who bought them at ridiculously discounted prices and still see electricity as a privilege and not a right.


#BringbackourNepa

You'll blame PDP for not making heaven

ghettowriter:
Nice one.


This scene looks like a set up to test the aim and rational behind installing the cctv.

Did you notice that the (assumed) CCTV captured three different angles of the action?

Or is it 3 dimentional cameras they have installed?

Anyway, what do i know, just an opinion.

It could be a 360 degree shot from a PTZ camera.

Check out the thread for your CCTV installation.

POI had the platform to tell Edo what he would do differently from the present government, he went on character assassination. Even throwing insults at the governor's Afrinvest, calling it thrash.
He lost the opportunity to present his plans to the people of Edo state.
Propaganda and mudslinging worked in the past election. Nigerians have become wiser.

henryhemon:
Same debate I watched? It's clear Ize iyamu have absolutely nothing to offer, he was always reminded of his time rather than address issues he was busy attacking obaseki.
When Obaseki asked him about how to deal with the economy post covid, the first thing he bloated was I'm not like you that wastes resources and didn't answer the question of how and even the audience were shouting how is the question.

But clowns like you come out here to change the narrative even seun of channels were berating the fake pastor.

POI stance was very combative. Maybe because he's trying to get his way into office. He was far from being strategic in his response.

He focused more on his opponents lapses than what his own intent will be in office. These are traits that leaders without vision possess. The people of Edo will decide who their leader will be.

POI is a typical Nigerian politician. The way he kept throwing around fictitious figures was really embarrassing.
Despite the governor clearing the air that the increase in debt was as a result of debt restructuring by the federal government. Most of the debt were from previous govt and the present government continues to service the debt since government is a continum.
To crown it all, he put paid to his ambition by tha woeful response to Obaseki question of how he intends to raise 500 billion during Covid-19.
His response wasn't convincing in any way.

I don't see a better Edo in the hands of POI. He doesn't have what it takes. He is better in opposition.

Obaseki might have lapses but for intelligent management of resources, he is a far better option than POI.

prof2007:
Do you sometimes wonder what data speeds you can get on your smartphone when you see symbols like E, 3G, H, H+, 4G and 4G+ on the phone? In this post, we will look at data rates that can be achieved through key 2G, 3G and 4G technologies.

1. GPRS
Introduced in GSM networks to add mobile data capability so people could use mobile phones also for the internet. GPRS stands for General Packet Radio Service and was an enhancement to existing GSM networks in order to provide mobile internet services. GPRS is sometimes also referred to as 2.5G and can offer peak downlink speeds up to 171.2 kbps. For clarity, the downlink data rates help with the downloads and the uplink data rates help with the uploads.

2. EDGE
Was an enhancement to GPRS networks to improve data speeds. EDGE stands for Enhanced Data for Global Evolution and it increased peak downlink speeds to 384 kbps. EDGE is sometimes referred to as 2.75G and is shown on your mobile phone as symbol ‘E’.

3. UMTS (3G)
After the 2G technologies GSM, GPRS and EDGE, the 3rd generation of mobile networks were launched with Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS). UMTS was the 3G migration route for those 2G networks that used the GSM standard. The other 3G technology was CDMA2000 which was for 2G networks that used IS-95. UMTS is shown on your mobile phone as the ‘3G’ symbol and offers peak downlink speeds of up to 2 Mbps.

4. HSPA
The need for speed was always there which is why enhancements in mobile communications continued. One of these enhancements in the 3G era was High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) which was followed by High-Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA). These enhancements are collectively termed as High-Speed Packet Access or HSPA. HSPA is shown on your mobile as the ‘H’ symbol and can offer peak downlink and uplink speeds of up to 14.4 Mbps and 5.76 Mbps respectively.

5. HSPA+
Is an upgraded version of HSPA and stands for Evolved High-Speed Packet Access. It makes enhancements t spectral efficiency, peak data rates and latency. Resulting data speeds can reach up to 42 Mbps in the downlink for downloads and 11.5 Mbps in the uplink for uploads.

6. LTE (4G)
4G uses the LTE technology for meeting its requirements and is shown on your mobile phone as the ‘4G’ symbol. LTE stands for Long Term Evolution and provides the 4G migration path to mobile operators using key 3G technologies including Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) and CDMA2000. LTE can enable peak speeds of up to 300 Mbps in the downlink for downloads, and up to 75 Mbps in the uplink for uploads.

7. LTE-Advanced (4G+)
While LTE is the key technology for 4G, there have been some later versions of LTE that can offer even higher download speeds. With LTE-Advanced you can get data rates of up to 1Gbps in the downlink which can go as high as 3Gbps with LTE Advanced Pro. LTE Advanced is shown on the mobile as the ‘4G+’ symbol. In case you are wondering, 5G can take these speeds to even higher levels which you can check out in our 5G post.

You may also be wondering where technologies like EVDO fit in? The concept of EVDO is similar to HSPA, and it is a 3G technology enhancement used in the CDMA2000 networks.

So, in summary:
MAX. DOWNLOAD SPEEDS
GPRS: Up to 171.2 kbps.
EDGE: 384 kbps.
3G UMTS: 2 Mbps.
HSPA: 14.4 Mbps.
HSPA+: 42 Mbps.
LTE: 300 Mbps.

MAX. UPLOAD SPEEDS
3G UMTS: 128 kbps.
HSPA: 5.76 Mbps.
HSPA+: 11.5 Mbps.
LTE: 75 Mbps.

Now you may be thinking that speeds like 300 Mbps or even 100 Mbps are hard to get when you are out and about. You are right, these are the peak data rates or maximum achievable speeds. As you would expect, a mobile base station does serve many people simultaneously, so the available data capacity is shared among multiple users. In addition, factors like the distance between the user and the base station, and obstacles like buildings and trees etc can all impact achievable data rates.

SOURCE (abridged): https://commsbrief.com/data-speeds-with-gprs-edge-umts-hspa-hspa-4g-and-4g/

Nice write up. LTE gigabit speed could be achieved using 5 component carrier (1.4, 3, 5, 10,20)MHz aggregation on the radio access layer using 256 QAM modulation technique in combination with 4x4 MIMO beam forming on all antennas.

This is stated in 3GPP LTE release 10. Very few mobile handsets were designed for this mobile technologies but fixed wireless access (FWA) infrastructures are optimised and designed for such.

On a FDD/TDD combination, you could have a total of 100MHZ transmission channel bandwidth (theoretically proven) given about 1.5GB/s throughput on upload and 3GB/s on the download.

In fact, this forms the basis of 5G NSA radio access network architecture.

See this criminal dey talk. Obaseki don comot food for their mouth, lamentation go kill you. The maritime security contract wey federal government remove from him company still dey pain am.

Obaseki isn't your problem. Don't die of pain.

Edo people are wise, not political zombies.

FieldMarshall06:
There are moles or informants feeding ISWAP with intel. That is very clear.

They were setting up a FOB and attacked, smh.

Was there no risk assessment and safety precautions put in place. Anyway, quota system officers also contibute to battelfield casualties.

Accordingto Samuel Anyway, Magumeri is enemy stronghold. Sending soldiers in fortified truck, redesigned APC and Hilux trucks into such a hotzone without sufficient aerial cover is rather sucidal.

There's no way the soldiers wouldn't have resisted the attack for up to 30 mins. Ample time for arrival of aerial support.

GeneralFarouq:
Caught unaware in a battlefield.

I believe they were outflanked and outnumbered. ISWAP must have lost more men but this they gained in captured weapons.

I predicted this some time ago. ISWAP is on a losing streak, they would throw more men at a vulnerable formation just to gain a upper hand in this fight.

Still not ruling out the possibility of ISWAP having access to some form of intelligence prior to attack.
That attack wasn't carried out by some random Boko haram squad loafing around.

Out of office, he would rather enslave Edo masses instead of investing the looted billions in profitable business.

Career politicians are a disaster. A plague to stay far away from.

He no fit try this for naija, NEPA for don expose the bastard. E go buy fuel for generator tire.

RIP to the frozen dead
