They are absolutely correct. It is no longer a Ferrari and should not be identified with them, their brand or their representations. You cannot put kunu in a coke bottle and call it coke. Simple. The public above all should understand that because we donot know the man's intentions and where this could consequentially lead to.If he wants to do a Brabus or AMG he should contact Ferrari and deal.

The post says Presidents, serving&ex are given life security service.

I purposely used Obama's image for that because he's out of the office and SS agents can still be seen around him.
Yes, all ex-presidents are protected for life. This happens in all countries I know of. However the density of detail reduces with time and with his or her relations. For instance I don't think Chelsea Clinton will have any detail around her personally but Bill will still have but not as many as when he was President just as Trump's son will not have as many details as Trump himself now. It is logical.

But why are they not carrying guns? shocked
They carry guns, lots of guns. Standard issue service pistols, for close details and submachine guns further out. Rifles in their trucks and in the trunk of the beast. They are heavily loaded but securiity isk not just about a particular organisation but the synergy between various local, state and national agencies. Backup is never more than a few seconds or minutes away. The further away the heavier the artillery. Remember the country is not at war. Guns protecct but guns are also a threat and a risk. The balance has to be made. This is where intel comes in. I there is a threat they up the ante. And the secret service is about the best at assessing threats. They have learnt a lot from 63.

How and what do you mean with the above?
Do you mean to say Russian air force is superior to that of the US?
If this is what you mean then you are wrong bro....

US has an aircraft strength of over 13,000 aircrafts with nearly 3,000 fighter aircraft alone.
This is by far above Russia's aircraft strength of less than 4,000 aircrafts with just over 800 fighter aircraft & attack aircraft of 1,438.

Secondly, look at their defence budgets alone. It will clearly show you that Russia is no match for the US.....
Defence budget of the US is well over $587billion
This is followed by China with $161billion
Then Russia with $44billion.

My brother, just imagine how much these monies can give a country in terms of military hardware.

The only thing that Russia surpasses every other country is their cache of nuclear weapons, which most of them are not even ready for combat.

I admire Russia and how she has been able to balance the US, but in conventional warfare, US has a big edge over Russia.
We don't have to be emotional you know!
Russia on the other hand has twice as many nuclear weapons as the US, this alone is a game changer. And to make matters worse, unlike the US almost all russia's nuclear capacity is not in silos but moble in planes, trucks and submarines which makes them harder to target, easier to manouver and to the rest of the world more dangerous because more people are in contact so things are easier to get stolen or accidentally fired.

Russia has a fleet of nuclear submarines. As a matter of fact. Russia built the largest ballistic missile submarine in history. It carried I think up to 32 ICBM's with each containing multiple directional warheads all aimed to strike americas missile silos and major cities in one move. The problem with russia has always been technology endurance. America has remained ahead in technology since world war 2. Russia's military philisophy on thd other hand has always been, build them big, build them bad, but most of all build them cheap. We have the raw materials and a heck lot of soldiers to waste. America will sink under a heap of insurance failures if it goes that way.

Abraham Lincoln created the agency the day he was assassinated.


However, the original mission of the Secret Service was not to protect the president.


Only after attacks on the president happened did the agents' duties expand.
The primary job of the secret service remains to protect the dollar in its currency format. The bulk of its agents go after forgers both home and in coĺlabo with interpol, abroad. That is why despite the enormous advancement in technology in tne US, the dollar (the most widely circulated currency in the world) is not overwhelmed by forgeries. This is the work of the secret service. Once a forgery is detected they will eventually find the mint no matter where it is located on earth.

Horlahtoye:
This is an infringement on her rights. The military cannot unilaterally constitute the prosecutor by charging a civilian for wearing army uniforms and has no jurisdiction to deal with civilian. They only have the right to sue her to court for wearing the uniform.
Morally you lose the right when you invite the military into civilian waters. She did not wear camo to the barracks or to some military exercise. Where did they see her. In those days if I recall properly soldiers are not permitted out of the barracks in uniform except on official duty. When you send them on 'official duty' into the public domain you are temporarily switching off your constitution and laws. Anything can happen. I don't know what the soldiers are doing that the police cannot or should not do. If a police patrol van was passing and she ignorantly cried for help they will simply drive past because the police as an institution is failed. You cannot complain about a man who is carrying your burdens.

SUPERPACK:
she is nt impersonating anybody with that cloth, when did army men start to wear tight trousers, and who gave the army the right to strip civilians, read the law below.
This is civil law. The military has its own laws...unfortunately they are more serious than this. Who's fault, both sides. While the military should obey the constitution which is the umbrella for all laws. This is also the reason why in developed countries/societies the military is confined to its barracks and will only be deployed under martial law. In some countires is is expressely forbidden for the military to engage in civil order i.e be seen conducting operations on domestic soil. They know the risks, we don't.

In Nigeria soldiers do police work, traffic work, sanitation work, arbitration work, etc. The failure of the system due to decades of military rule and the subsequent refusal of political leaders (most ex military - OBJ, PMB and civilians Yaradua & GEJ controlled by their puppet masters IBB and his brother...what is his name again ) to cultivate a whole string of social institutions in favour of dictatorial tendencies has kept this nation underdeveloped and primitive.

If institutions are weak it favours the overlords. They can steal reprehensibly without fear, project their ethnic and religious agendas without remorse and as we see here indulge in a bit of perversion without being tried for indecency. Until the public demands what is right and just and leave their antisocial anchors right we will remain shamefully primitive. What the authorities don't know due to crass ignorance is that the very reasons why they need to resist the ordinary man from wearing camoflague clothing is the fact that citizens donot have the freedoms and trust of authorities to share in law enforcement and security responsibilities. Empower the citizens and though they wear what they like, they will actively protect society by informing and reporting what is wrong.

Is this rocket science.

ddippset:
He's only a reporter and I totally condemn this treatment. However every other protester should be severely dealth with. Tear gas them, lash them severely with koboko. Since they have allowed themselves to be used by demonic pdp politicians. Nigeria is not governed by sentiments. The constitution even allows Osinbajo to act as president even until 2019. The constitution does not stipulate any time frame. Even though i admit it is a constitutional flaw but it isnt Buhari's fault and until it is amended everybody shut up for now. The reason why Buhari and Osinbajo ran on a joint ticket is for times like this. Buhari has lawfully and legally empowered Osinbajo to be president as required by the constitution. Only the national assembly or the FEC can remove Buhari at their own discretion and not organizing rallies and constituting public nuisance as if there was any vacuum in power. If anyone thinks Buhari has violated the constitution the courts are the right place not the streets. Any miscreant who is willing to be a PDP tool must be ready to collect koboko and tear gas. NANSENSE!

The penchant to fight the wrong battles and end up giving up an undeserved advantage to far inferior people in the Nigerian space.
The war for aso-rock is intriguing. This is the best time in Nigeria to be an Igbo man because we of all the three major ethnics have far less invested in 2019.
Instead of my brothers to sit-back, watch the jackals go at each other and then pick up the spoils of war, they are busy trying to be the sole voice of reason in a way that does very little good to honour the intelligence igbos are known for.
It is very sad indeed.
Oga. Nobody sits down and watches in a democracy. Everywhere in the world, I mean EVERYWHERE people stand up for what they believe in and fight for what they want. Make no mistake about it. The 'other' side knows what it is doing and will resist any and every attempt to loosen its grip on this country whether you creep upon them or announce it from a hundred miles out. Time does not permit me to list out what has been gained or lost via the Niger-Delta struggle but the fact that oil workers and lecturers could risk life and limb to explore for oil in the Chad basin tells me that they know the clock is ticking and they donot have all the aces.


Ñigeria as a project or system (or whatever you choose to call it) just does not work. You can sugar coat it for all you like. This entity has massive structural deficiencies any quest for power simply cannot surmount. In a sane society, the protest against any individual in power is of good intentions and will cut across all society. In Nigeria it is impossible to seperate tribe and then religion. I just cannot see how this country can work like this. So what is the point really.
