Yes, the president made them understand they have to work to get things right. He proceeded to close 6000 business centres disguised as churches then boom the country exploded positively. Try criticizing that church on your street disturbing you with club loudspeaker then you will be termed anti christ. Yet they want development in their country.

Never. Nigeria can never catch up with other African countries ever. I have never seen a hopeless country like this ever. Nothing works, everybody is a tribalist, You must bribe for everything. Thank God I left that place before the end of last year. God forbid

Whats your take?
A very good use of drones...but in emergencies. What is the cost of this operation?...and who is paying? It seems like the objective here is for this company to be the Amazon of medical supplies......for them to warehouse all medical supplies and drone them out to hospitals and clinics....no need for them to store anything. On an article here recently on African countries with the highest debt...Rwanda was on the list...and I wondered why. Now I am understanding. So the question now would be is this really good for Rwanda? ...would this be good for Nigeria? I don't think so....it is not worth the cost.

Any country with Mad mullah muslems like Nigeria should not be using drones, They should let one sick person die rather than blowing up 50 people.

While the world is busy making drones a tool for a faster means of transportation and making lives better, drones in Nigeria are banned for security reasons.

An ingenious drone delivery service known as “Uber for blood” has slashed the delivery time of life-saving medicine to remote regions of Rwanda from four hours to an .

The drone flies to the clinic at up to 60mph. When it is within a minute of the destination, the doctor receives a text. The drone then drops the package, attached to a parachute, into a special zone near the clinic before returning to base.

A partnership between Zipline, a Silicon Valley robotics company, and the country’s health ministry has delivered more than 5,500 units of blood over the past year, often in life-saving situations. Never before have patients in the country received blood so quickly and efficiently.

While commercial drone delivery in wealthier countries is still at the testing stage, hampered by busy skies and strict regulations on airspace, Zipline is delivering blood to 12 regional hospitals from a base in the east of Rwanda. Each hospital serves about half a million people.

The use of drones is helping to reduce maternal deaths – a quarter of which are the result of blood loss during childbirth – and high incidences of malaria-induced anaemia, which is common in children.

Drone delivery also means hospitals can store less blood, which means less waste as blood spoils quickly.

“Some of the biggest, most powerful technology companies in the world are still trying to figure out how to do this. But east Africa is showing them all the way,” he said. “The work in Rwanda has shown the world what’s possible when you make a national commitment to expand healthcare access with drones and help save lives.”

How It Works

Doctors place orders on-demand through a simple app for any medicine they need, when they need it.

Medical products are stored centrally at Zipline's distribution centers and are flown quickly to any destination. This maintains cold-chain and product integrity while eliminating waste.

The Specs/Mode

Zipline packages the order then launches it into flight. Racing along at over 100 km/h, vital products arrive faster than any other mode of transport.

Our drones fly without a pilot and are battery-powered, reducing the cost and emissions of moving medicine.

Closer Than You Think

Our drones fly over remote mountains, rivers, and washed-out roads. They require no local infrastructure to serve communities.

Within 30 minutes, medical supplies are delivered from the sky by parachute. Recipients don't interact with the drone itself.

I know I will be insulted for saying it as it is, but still get to say the truth, Nigeria is a backward country filled with educated illiterates and ruled by fools, greedy, visionless leaders and a large percentage of unproductive citizens. This election will prove me right, this was one opportunity Nigerians has to change the trajectory of our country but what we are seeing is our stupidity manifesting all over. I'm sorry but in Nigeria we glorify failure. Many African countries have left us the giant of Africa behind.

Rwanda have their own problems and Nigeria have there own too. The so called drone may not be a threat to their national security but to us here it is.
Because we want to stop pollution, is it ideal to promulgate laws banning the establishment of industries, and shutting down existing ones? In a bid to contain climate change and greenhouse effects, is it sensible to ban deforestation ( felling of trees)? - Knowing full well, the importance of trees e.g wood for industrial and domestic uses! You're looking at the issue in a lopsided way: pointing out only the danger-inherent in it. What about the umpteen advantages? Nigerians need to reorientate themselves of the importance of technology!

Kindly ignore Nigeria, we are obviously not a serious country. Coming from the backdrop of Rwanda's massive crises/destruction just some years back and the giant strides they are taking now esp in tourism. Also keeping in mind they are landlocked, they desrve respect.

Drones, YouTube and...
