The look of an attire of a soldier is not what matters, it’s his/her effectiveness in the field.

And speaking of appealing appearances, I came across this. I’m guessing maybe a new digital camouflage for the Armed Forces but it is yet to be standardized.

You are not the only one who feels that way.
There is a part of many people than are willing to admit it, that sometimes sees natural disasters as an indication that a place is sophisticated and developed even though at the same time, we know it is a tragedy.

All in all, it is a good thing Nigeria is not located on plate boundaries. So things like earthquakes, volcanoes etc, are not going to happen.

How is this a shit show ?
It's a shit show cause I have never seen two presidents argue about a war in a press conference cheesy Normally these things happen behind the scenes and they get to a consensus before they come to the joint press conference.

From this conversation I can see Zelensky doesn't trust any deal they make with Russia and Russia also seems to jus be playing to Donald's ego, therefore I suspect that this war will return in the future in some form the moment Donald is no longer the president. I cannot believe that the US has now become a strongman country cheesy instead of it's institutions working and transcending presidential terms, they depend on who is the current president like some third world country.

Scientists arrive in Cape Town after deep-sea discoveries on ‘Around Africa Expedition’

The OceanXplorer, docked in Cape Town, has mapped seafloor landscapes never before seen, conducted groundbreaking biodiversity surveys and provided a platform for African scientists to engage in deep-sea research first-hand.

Docked at Cape Town harbour is a former oil and petroleum survey ship turned advanced science and media ship, the OceanXplorer, which unveiled a series of remarkable discoveries made during its first Around Africa expedition.

The expedition is a pioneering mission led by Ocean X, OceanQuest and scientists from African countries, a large number of them young and early-career scientists, to explore and map uncharted ecosystems never before seen in the deep sea.

Since they departed from Comoros, the team has dived deep underwater, exploring various seamounts in Walter’s Shoal and Agulhas Plateau before arriving in Cape Town in the past week. Next, they will head to Walvis Bay.

The team has mapped seafloor landscapes never before seen, conducted groundbreaking biodiversity surveys and provided a platform for African scientists to engage in deep-sea research first-hand.

This is done using some seriously high-grade tech, including multiple deep-sea research vehicles, including two Triton submersibles, a USV (unmanned surface vehicle), and Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) that can go to 6,000m underwater and are capable of exploring nearly the entirety of the ocean.

They also use AI technology for real-time species identification.

While in Cape Town, the team is involved in shoreside events, but the ocean research is not taking a break as they launch NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) buoys, measuring air pressure over the ocean and sea surface temperature. This data will be sent to satellites to update researchers on the weather in real time.
South Africa scientists onboard

Daily Maverick toured the ship on Wednesday and interviewed some of the lead researchers and scientists about the work they were doing.

Sinothando Shibe is a marine biologist at the South African National Parks from Durban, supporting the South Africa-France Partnership for Biodiversity and Marine Conservation, and joined as a scientist on the Around Africa Expedition 2025.

In an interview with Daily Maverick, she said: “These types of expeditions are so important for discovery because we cannot protect what we don’t know. So we have to get in there, and we have to see what’s there for us to be able to make the next steps.”

Shibe said Walter’s Shoal, a group of submerged mountains off the coast of Madagascar, had been the most fascinating spot on the expedition so far.

“It looked very different at each depth band.”

She explained they would put the ROV or the subs down, for example, at 500m, and what you would see at 500m was very different to what you’d see at 300m, and that was very different to what you’d see at 150m.

“That’s because each species or each group of animals adapt differently to different depths and the changing temperatures and the light penetration, so it was very interesting, especially when I was in the sub, to see that in that perspective and not from an ROV screen.

“Being able to actually look around, you can’t do that watching a screen, but in a sub, you have that kind of perspective where you can look around, where you can look up at the seamounts, where you can look at the little crevices on the seamounts, and the overhangs,” Shibe said.

At Walter’s Shoal, they found carbonate pebbles, deep-sea corals and species such as the Brisingid sea stars, a chimaera, a dumbo octopus, and a moray eel nestled within the rocks. The team said that viewing the Brisingid sea stars was a highlight, as they are characteristic of deep-sea ecosystems and serve as important indicators of ocean health.
Deep-sea discoveries

The expedition is led by scientist Lara Atkinson, a South African offshore marine scientist with more than a decade of experience in the industry. In 2012 and 2014, she was nominated as a National Representative for the South African Network for Coastal and Oceanic Research.

Her research focuses on establishing monitoring tools and protocols for the offshore benthic environment. In an interview with Daily Maverick, Atkinson dived at the Walter’s Shoal and the Afrikaner Seamounts that sit on the Agulhas Plateau.

The area they were working in at Walter’s Shoal is firmly within the extended continental shelf claim of Madagascar. It sits on the Madagascan Ridge, and Atkinson said it was a unique feature because it comes up so shallow.

“In the middle of this great big blue ocean, Walter’s Shoal is one of the very few seamounts that comes up to within [about] 18-15m of the sea, from the surface. It’s really close. It’s almost an island.

There have been many research expeditions to Walter’s Shoal in the past. But Aktinkson said the new piece of information that had been added through this expedition so far, specifically on Walter’s Shoal, is that they managed to record a very high-resolution map.

Atkinson described it thus: “Descending 500m into the deep and seeing the seafloor unfold before my eyes was surreal – like exploring an underwater fynbos landscape of the Western Cape. Watching a large octopus ‘play catch’ with the submersible’s lasers was a fascinating display of intelligence.”

What the team was doing specifically was a lot of water filtering for nutrients, phytoplankton, microbes and environmental DNA. That involved taking a CTD (conductivity, temperature, and depth measurement), putting it down, and sampling the water up at different depths.

And then when that water gets on board, the team filters that water through very, very fine pores, and then they can extract from those filter papers all this information about the water column.

“That’s really the driving force behind maintaining the ecosystem: the little, little tiny guys sitting at the bottom. We also wanted to capture the larger fauna, the invertebrate fauna that colonise and live on the flanks of the seamount,” Atkinson said.

A seamount is generally rocky and hard, and the species that live there are generally known as vulnerable marine indicator species. They indicate a vulnerable ecosystem type.

They didn’t manage to get to the top of Walter’s Shoal, but from 500m down, they got a high-resolution map that will be made open access to the world for future research.
Future of deep-sea protection

Atkinson said that Walter’s Shoal had been fished in the past. From the 1970s to the early 2000s, Walter Shoal was a hotspot for international fisheries’ fleets.

But in 2018, the regional fisheries management organisation, South Indian Ocean Deep Sea Fisheries Association, put in place a benefit protection zone.

Atkinson said this was more voluntary in the high seas, with no real law enforcement, but it generally would apply to and have had agreement from all groups fishing in the area.

“But we do know there is still a very tiny amount of fishing that is happening at Walter Shoal. And even one little drag of a net or a long line or any kind of lobster pot can do damage to long-lived slow-growing species,” Atkinson said.

Atkinson said that proposing any kind of a protection zone out there had to be driven by the neighbouring countries.

“Because if it is not driven by the local countries, it’s not gonna have buy-in. And I do think that that is maybe what happened from the 2018 attempt. But now we have got eyes on the seabed from the neighbouring countries, Madagascar, Mozambique and South Africa. Scientists have seen that area, and now it is gonna be up to us to kind of drive it forward into the future,” Atkinson said.

Dr Vincent Pieribone, co-CEO and chief science officer of OceanX, told Daily Maverick “Our goals are to first to explore, second to understand, and third to protect.”

He said the aim was to help these researchers study their environments and help bring their findings and insights back to their countries and their policymakers for the importance of the protection of the ocean – “the shallows, the intermediate and even the deep”.

Pieribone said that the open ocean was the only part of the earth that was largely ungoverned.

“It is truly what we would call the Wild West.”

“Ships burn the most polluting fuel once they pass outside of the EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone) of countries. They have separate tanks. Once they leave the economic zones of countries, they often switch to different fuel sources… We feel strongly that what’s in the ocean and what’s happening in the ocean is important for everybody to pay attention,” Pieribone said.

The deep sea has been out of sight and out of mind; you don’t vacation in the deep ocean. Pieribone said you may come to South Africa to swim around with the sharks and see the penguins and the seals, but you don’t get out to the deep ocean.

Most people never do. So this vessel, Pieribone said, provided an opportunity for scientists and policymakers to understand what they have in their waters and encourage countries to protect it.

OceanX and OceanQuest are working with key local institutions, including the South African Environmental Observation Network, the South African National Biodiversity Institute, the South African National Space Agency, the National Research Foundation–South African Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity, and the University of Cape Town, to advance ocean research and conservation efforts to protect ecosystems such as this.
The Afrikaner Seamount

Another fascinating seamount the team explored before arriving in Cape Town was the Afrikaner Seamount, which sits on the Agulhas Plateau, with South Africa’s Exclusive Economic Zone cutting through just the top part of that Agulhas Plateau.

Outside South Africa’s EEZ, this Seamount hasn’t ever been properly mapped before, until now, according to Atkinson.

Atkinson said this seamount was “closer to my heart, because that’s closer to my home.” But as they set out to explore it, the team encountered difficulties due to turbulent conditions.

“What happens is that our incredibly strong, fast flowing Agulhas current comes reaming down our East Coast, breaks off and then retroflexes and flows backwards in these little eddies. They’re like these great big whirlpools out in the deep sea. And that current was simply too fast and too strong to deploy the ROV.

“Because of these conditions, the team was not able to deploy its ROV but did manage to get its CTD tool in the water. This allows scientists to measure conductivity, temperature, and depth (ie the ‘CTD’) in a water column, providing insight into the conditions faced by organisms living in that environment,” Atkinson said.

This brings up all these water samples from different depths. The team managed to get the CTD in the water twice at that seamount. But, unfortunately, Atkinson said the ROV was just simply too high a risk.

“It could get lost, and you can’t afford to lose that kind of equipment. So it was the Agulhas current and her retroflexion eddies that kept the ROV out,” Atkinson said.

But Atkinson hoped they would be able to explore the Afrikaner Seamount on the Agulhas Plateau another time.

She said the way the Afrikaner Seamount was structured was fascinating, with little ridges and peaks adjoining it, and that it was properly deep-sea, “a true deep sea seamount, and we are just desperate to explore it”.

Yeap because human senses and mindset is channelled to believe that they must think in such a way or act in such a way. Alot of shit happens behind scenes and they come to the press as if everything is okay. President Trumph as no time to fake things and make you feel happy even in the face of a press conference. Billions and lives are been wasted for this war for someone's ego.

Zelesnsky is proud, arrogant, egoistic and unappreciative dictator, His actions and decisions as lead to millions of lives lost and still counting, billions of dollars lost and embezzled by him and is corrupt administration.

Talking about the fact that you say; "you can't believe the US is now a Strongman's country". This is a long known fact and it amuses me you're just realizing that now, Let me add to the list which is China and Russia also. The rest are just pussy.

I quite agree with you that the war might sorawn up in the nearest future, if it happens it will be bad for every country involved but it will brme far worst for Ukraine.

Frankly you should keep quiet on stuff you haven’t been following. You guys just jump on whatever the latest news is, acting like experts without having any knowledge at all on what led to it. He’s this he’s that. Do you even listen to him to understand what he’s talking about?

Zelensky has been looking for one thing alone since the whole negotiations thing started and that is security guarantees for Ukraine. He’s has even promised to resign if that is what it takes.

If you have followed Russia Ukraine recent history you understand why. The 1994 nuclear weapons transfer deal made with Russia was disregarded by the latter, same with the 2014 cease fire deal, which Russia broke as well. Entering a ceasefire without any strong deterrence in Ukraine will just give Russia time to consolidate and start invasion 3.0. That’s why Zelensky is trying to get either NATO membership or American led peacekeeping. He’s trying to make sure no future invasions happen after this war is over.

Keir Starmer was in the US few days ago. Which is something rare because usually the new US President usually goes to UK first. He was there to make a proposal and set the grounds for Zelenskys visit. His proposal was that if the US cannot send troops to ukraine, they can at least set up air deterrence. Something that Trump did not agree to.

What is Trumps own proposal? He keeps on saying that American mining companies in Ukraine is enough deterrence. How does that even make sense? Unarmed Private sector civilians that can just pack up on their own and leave.

The entire argument in the WH was triggered by JD Vance. When Zelensky tried to raise up the issue of past failed agreements, the VP cut him off and started lecturing him on how he should not come to the WH and make his case on the issue.

Nope you should shut your rotten mouth. All what you wrote or claimed Russia broke was caused by the same United States, especially the Nuclear deal and the cease fire deal were all orchestrated and triggered by the United States. President Trumph has come to the fact that America as caused alot of proxy war, lavished tax payers money sponsoring uncessary wars and even indirectly funding terrorists groups through voluntary organizations like the USAID etc..

Ukraine citizens are only a scape goat and a arrogant dictator who think the world revolves all over his ass. JD Vance is telling Zelensky the honest truth wish "Mr arrogant" could not swallow, he comes to the United States to steal Task payers money has if its a chicken change.

Past American presidents and woke EU presidents have used Ukraine to paint Russia bad and Zelensky was the perfect tool they'll want to use. [/b]ALL THANKS TO PRESIDENT TRUMPH, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN INTO A WWIII OR A FAR WORSE WAR BETWEEN NUCLEAR NATIONS[b]

Here is a shot video about the genesis of the Russia-Ukraine war narrated by an American.




Again Russia has never broken any deal, be specific in the deals Russia broke and I'll prove to you that all was a trap that would later lead to future catastrophe, Past American president has lead Russia into signing deals that would be systematically broken by a third party leading to a conflict like what we have in Ukraine today.

I’m going to be honest man I enjoy your photos, coverage of Nigerian military/politics, and a few of your other statements; but this is the most disconnected from reality thing I’ve ever seen you post. Yes; billions millions of lives are being wasted do to ego; primarily Putin’s. Everything you just said that I highlighted is a better description of Putin and progressively Trump who’s local policies is speedrunning the US into a Great Recession and who’s grandiose image is fueled by misinformation campaigns and creating “fake stuff”. Matter of fact he’s turning the US into his on mix of WW2 Italy and authoritarian Oligarchy that is Modern Russia, with a topping of Nazi-adjacent racism/sexism as we type.

I’m no simp for the West or Russia; but I’m simply going to call a spade a spade. If Russia takes Ukraine and looks further west into Europe which everyone knows is the case as an African it’s no skin off my bones this is just European tribalism & idealism. Both Ukraine and Russia are infested with neo-Nazi’s. None are an ally to me and there are no “hero countries” or “Axis of Evil countries” in my eyes. I’m all for a bipolar world order beyond Euro-centrism; but just because Russia sells Nigeria weapons and supported Africa in the past for obvious political clout doesn’t mean I’m going to play dumb to what’s really happening.

The conference was a sh1tshow because of Donnie and Vannie. Yes; Zenny got baited easily and is on the “back foot” as in he doesn’t have the military advantage or advantages positioning; but who in there right mind wants to give up and lose there country? If BokoHarem started blitzing south would you recommend the Nigerian government give into them? Do you want to live in a Nigeria where Islamist Extremist have even more significant power in the federal government and by extension Africa?

From the Ukrainian perspective your essentially telling them to just give up and become an Enslaved complacent concubine.

If WW3 pops off over this it’s because PUTIN INVADED Ukraine because of dubious reasoning; Westerners like Trump emboldened them, and the REST of the West FAILED protecting Ukraine or developing a genuine peace deal.

[b] The only thing that better happen is Africans staying the heck out of it”. I consider the Africans up there fighting now as paramilitaries crazy.
Let me break your heart dude; you're far disconnected from reality and I must say also that you are being overwhelmed with emotions & facts.

Calling a "spade a spade"; Zelensky is a fool and arrogant simp. Don't be crowded with emotions bro, Russia is a super-power that wouldn't allow NATO close to her borders a decision Comedian Zelensky has brought on Ukrainians.
Let's sight a scenario; Would America allow Russia/China or a communist country near her border if there wouldn't be a WW3, A scenario i posted in this video link: .

[b][/b]Call Putin a dictator or a murderer, All European president both present and past are far worse, Western countries and NATO has blood on there hands too.

Big up's to President Trumph for saying no more funds for this thieves. Am not supporting Russia for selling Arms to Nigeria, and when was even the last time we struck any major procurement from them, the Uncle Sam sanctions was a setback for us.

If WWIII begins from this war its because an arrogant Zelensky and a devil called prime Minister Keir starmer and other EU president are pushing the fool to keep fighting I stead of coming to the negotiating table.

Trumph has seeing that if this war continues, EU countries would push super powers into a Nuclear war. An Awaiting accident Trumphs wants to avert, yet you sit on your table call him a bully/arrogant.
