Kikuyu, he is talking about work-a concept you are probably unfamiliar with, which leads to money-an item you are probably in lack of. Hate to embarrass you good buddy but if you would keep ON-TOPIC I probably wouldn't have had to.

This what I read about it

"A boy from Rigasa Hausa by tribe igabi local govt.kaduna state, that havent finish his secondary school create helicopter that fly ..teaches so called paper Engineers, a whole nigerian army are proud of him .. he design Nigerian army helcopter for display during army day in maiduguri were president of nigeria and other foreign army were so much happy about the helcopter "

iblawi:


Where you got it wrong is that the boy could have the idea but bringing the idea to reality was with nigerian army engineers. We've not even talked of funding, tools and resources needed to build the helicopter.

That boy couldn't have had the skill to biuld this aircraft but his idea would have made Nigerian Army THINK BIG.

Most researchers are based in schools but their ideas only become a reality when a company is ready to fund the project. The project automatically becomes that of the company/organization/institution that funded it except in situation where there is some kind of agreement.

This is the reason many Nigerian prof./schools are referred to paper warriors. They can hardly transform their ideas to reality because there are no companies to fund them.

Why haven’t we heard more about them? National Park Service historian, Ed Bearrs, stated, “I don’t want to call it a conspiracy to ignore the role of Blacks both above and below the Mason-Dixon line, but it was definitely a tendency, which began around 1910.” Historian, Erwin L. Jordan, Jr., calls it a “cover-up” which started back in 1865. He writes, “During my research, I came across instances where Black men stated they were soldiers, but you can plainly see where ‘soldier’ is crossed out and ‘body servant’ inserted, or ‘teamster’ on pension applications.”

There were approximately 319,599 free blacks in the United States in 1830. Approximately 13.7 per cent of the total black population was free. A significant number of these free blacks were the owners of slaves. The census of 1830 lists 3,775 free Negroes who owned a total of 12,760 slaves.

I've stressed many time THIS WORLD ISN'T THE WAY IT SEEMS! Conventional wisdom and narratives are bent,squeezed into pretzels to fit a certain standard. History,itself or the chronicles we accept as history have been turned inside out and upside down. IIRC,someone here,a wikipedia 'military researcher,' as he referred to himself accused me of photoshopping Blacks who volunteered to fight for the Germans in WW2 I posted.
Anyway,without further ado,here are the Black Confederates! Yes,Blacks fought for the Slave owning South. Neither were they servants,cooks,musicians and menials usually associated with blacks in such situations. I couldn't ID their regiments but these are a few of the blacks who took up arms for the South.

In fact they also owned slaves,including whites!


https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/facts-about-slavery/

Confederate army leader Gen Robert E Lee himself said:"When you eliminate the black Confederate soldier, you've eliminated the history of the South."

EVERYTHING WE'VE LEARNED IN SCHOOL IS NOTHING BUT MISEDUCATION!?

The first is Confederate prez,Jefferson Davis ,37 and his obviously biracial wife,Varina Howell,17 in 1845. HOW CAN THIS BE? WEREN'T THEY FIGHTING TO DEFEND THE INSTITUTION OF BLACK SLAVERY?

Investigate everything!! Imo,its extremely disappointing people here still believe the MSM tales about BH and hopefully this little historical excursion will show the importance of BELIEVING NOTHING AND INVESTIGATING EVERYTHING! The implications of the irrefutable existence of these Black Confederates are huge:race and class must be reevaluated and the value of (mis)education completely reassessed .
Fyi,there was a slave trade that took 0.5 W Africans to N America but most were the black Catholic losers of European race/religious wars and captured indig black Americans-another looooonnggggg story.

AIR LOGISTICS SUPPORT: CDS COMMENDS NAF AS EXERCISE OMO OLOJA HOLDS IN LAGOS

The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Abayomi Olonisakin, has commended the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) for its continued delivery of credible Air Power in the North East and other parts of the country as well as across the West African Sub-Region. The CDS gave this commendation yesterday, 14 August 2018, during the Logistics Command (LC) Air Logistics Support Simulation Exercise (SIMEX) held at 631 Aircraft Maintenance Depot (631 ACMD), Lagos. The SIMEX dubbed “OMO OLOJA”, meaning "the Trader" or "Peddler of Goods", was designed on a scenario based on the need to provide rapid airlift of humanitarian relief materials to a fictitious nation of 37 provinces which had been devastated by natural disaster.

In his keynote address, the CDS, who was Guest of Honour at the event, expressed delight to flag-off such a significant exercise because of the importance of logistics to the successful conduct of contemporary military operations. “Without logistics, success cannot be guaranteed. You may plan the most audacious battle, manned by the most highly skilled personnel with the most advanced weapon systems; but if you don’t have ordinary drinking water for the troops, or lack the capacity to move men and materiel to the right place at the right time; all may come to nothing. That is why it is often said that ‘if you don’t have logistics you don’t have anything”, he said. Speaking further, General Olonisakin lauded the NAF for its robust human capacity building initiatives which had enabled the Service perform its constitutional roles creditably. He also commended the CAS for organizing the SIMEX which, he said, would further build NAF’s capacity to provide efficient and timely logistics support for the effective conduct of operations of the Nigerian Armed Forces. The CDS also seized the opportunity to thank the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, President Muhammadu Buhari, for making the modernization, re-equipping and continuous training of the Nigerian Armed Forces a top priority.

In his opening remarks, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, stressed the importance of Air Power in modern warfare not only in offensive and defensive roles but also in collection of credible and timely intelligence as well as the swift and efficient airlift of forces within and across theatres of operation. He noted that the security challenges currently facing the country and the West African Sub-Region would continue to make Air Power imperative for the effective discharge of Nigeria’s obligations in ensuring sub-regional stability, as demonstrated during the Gambian crisis. The CAS described air logistics support as one of NAF's core functions that would continue to make this possible. He added that it had become crystal clear that without air logistics support, it was virtually impossible to successfully prosecute modern warfare. Accordingly, the CAS said the NAF would continue to conduct realistic, practical and functional training exercises, like Exercise OMO OLOJA, to ensure it was fully prepared to provide necessary logistics support to meet national security imperatives as well as in support of humanitarian relief operations in aid to Civil Authority. The CAS ended by thanking the CDS for reviewing the SIMEX and providing guidance for its effective conduct.

Earlier in his welcome address, the Air Officer Commanding LC (AOC LC), Air Vice Marshal (AVM) Remigius Ekeh, stated that Exercise OMO OLOJA was aimed at practicing participants in the conduct of a medium scale airlift operation with a view to enhancing coordination between operations, logistics and aircraft engineering staff for the effective and efficient execution of air logistics operations. AVM Ekeh also disclosed that similar training exercises would be conducted by other NAF Commands in line with their core functions. He thanked the CAS for choosing LC as the vanguard of these series of training exercises across the Service.

The SIMEX also featured briefings from the Exercise Director and Heads of the various Cells who gave details of their various roles in facilitating the movement of a total of 400,000 lbs of relief materials using designated aircraft and ground transportation. Highlight of the event was the loading and airlift of some consignments of relief materials by the C-130H heavy airlift aircraft.

could you give us a link to the video?

Interested to see it on the move

Excellent!

For a while I thought that Nigeria's major problem in terms of development was a lack of meaningful exercises that have real world applications. Training like this is invaluable, and if kept up will lead to the development of a world class military!

Henry240:

Dude, your problem is listening.

The Nigerian military has always prioritized training of it's men. The difference between now and then is media coverage.

The simple & Gospel truth

The present airforce administration is doing a nice job in the area of media PR.

Pray the Navy and Army will start imitating these good gesture one day.
