donbenedict: Sure I do... Any one quite conversant with the current affairs of the world already knows that..... But what you should note according to the post is the fact that this ranking was majorly based on quantitative evaluation more than qualitative evaluation, this might be another reason north korea didn't make the list. Remember in my 1st reply to your comment I made mention of north korea's preferrence for keeping its military strength evaluation a top secret from both the americans and the western powers. But on a more objective analysis I guess north korea would definitely be amongst top 10 highly ranked military in the world. |
Foreign Affairs / Re: The Worlds 20 Strongest Military In The World Presently by Sowl(m): 10:49pm On Apr 30, 2016 |
donbenedict: Me thinks this might be as a result of north korea's hostile international diplomatic relations with the outside world, which makes them prefer to make there military strength and ability a top secret from the prying eyes of the americans ,there by not making them fall prey to whatever clandestine ops the west or americans decide to embark on. This in my opinion is the reason north korea's military strength and ability isn't well known to the outside world ,except for there big bad wolf huff and puff image they seem to portray!!! 1 Like 1 Share |

15. Australia Budget: $26.1 billion Active frontline personnel: 58,000 Tanks: 59 Total aircraft: 408 Submarines: 6 Australia's military is comparatively small — it receives bottom scores on the report for the number of active personnel and the number of tanks. It also receives near bottom scores for the number of aircraft it has in its fleet. Credit Suisse boosts Australia's ranking due to its attack helicopters and submarines though. 14. Isreal Budget: $17 billion Active frontline personnel: 160,000 Tanks: 4,170 Total aircraft: 684 Submarines: 5 In absolute terms, Israel has a small military. But with mandatory military service a large percentage of the Israeli population is militarily ready. With a past history of being surrounded by aggressive neighbors, Israel also has a large tank, aircraft, and attack helicopter fleet. Israel also has qualitative military advantages. It has space assets, advanced fighter jets, high-tech armed drones, and nuclear weapons. 13. Taiwan Budget: $10.7 billion Active frontline personnel: 290,000 Tanks: 2,005 Total aircraft: 804 Submarines: 4 Threatened by China, which continues to have plans for how to invade and retake the country, Tawain has focused its military development on defensive plans. As such, the island has the fifth highest number of attack helicopters in the list. It also has a fairly large fleet of aircraft and a number of tanks. 12. Egypt Budget: $4.4 billion Active frontline personnel: 468,500 Tanks: 4,624 Total aircraft: 1,107 Submarines: 4 The Egyptian military is one of the oldest and largest armed forces in the Middle East. It receives substantial financial aid from the US and has the fifth largest tank fleet in the world. It has over 1,000 M1A1 Abrams tanks, many of which sit in storage and have never been used. Egypt also has a relatively large aircraft force. 11. Pakistan Budget: $7 billion Active frontline personnel: 617,000 Tanks: 2,924 Total aircraft: 914 Submarines: 8 The Pakistani military is one of the largest forces in the world, in terms of active personnel. Credit Suisse also credits the country with having large tank, aircraft, and attack helicopter fleets. In addition, Pakistan is thought to be building nuclear weapons at a fast enough rate that it could have the world's third largest nuclear arsenal within the following decade. 10. Turkey Budget: $18.2 billion Active frontline personnel: 410,500 Tanks: 3,778 Total aircraft: 1,020 Submarines: 13 Turkey's armed forces are one of the largest in the eastern Mediterranean. Although lacking an aircraft carrier, only five countries on Credit Suisse's list have more submarines than Turkey. In addition, the country can lay claim to an impressively large tank fleet as well as numerous aircraft and attack helicopters. Turkey is also a committed member of the F-35 program. 9. United kingdom Budget: $60.5 billion Active frontline personnel: 146,980 Tanks: 407 Total aircraft: 936 Submarines: 10 Although the UK is planning to reduce the size of its armed forces by 20% between 2010 and 2018, it can count on being able to project its power around the world. The Royal Navy is planning to put the HMS Queen Elizabeth, an aircraft carrier that has a flight deck measuring at 4.5 acres, into service in 2020, carrying 40 F-35B joint strike fighters across the globe. 8. Italy Budget: $34 billion Active frontline personnel: 320,000 Tanks: 586 Total aircraft: 760 Submarines: 6 The Italian military placed highly on Credit Suisse's report due to the country's possession of two active aircraft carriers. These carriers, in addition to the country's relatively large submarine and attack helicopter fleets, drastically boosted Italy's ranking. 7) South Korea Budget: $62.3 billion Active frontline personnel: 624,465 Tanks: 2,381 Total aircraft: 1,412 Submarines: 13 South Korea has been left with little choice but to have a large and capable military in the face of potential North Korean aggression. With those realities in mind, South Korea has a number of submarines, attack helicopters, and active personnel. The country also has numerous tanks and the sixth largest air force in the world 6. France Budget: $62.3 billion Active frontline personnel: 202,761 Tanks: 423 Total aircraft: 1,264 Submarines: 10 The French military is relatively small but highly trained, professional, and capable of force projection. The country has the nearly new aircraft carrier the Charles de Gaulle, and France routinely engages in military deployments throughout Africa to help stabilize governments and fight against extremism. BUZZINGHide Chyna posted this last video message to fans just days before her untimely death 5. India Budget: $50 billion Active frontline personnel: 1,325,000 Tanks: 6,464 Total aircraft: 1,905 Submarines: 15 India is one of the largest military powers on the planet. It has the most active manpower of any country aside from China and the US, in addition to the most tanks and aircraft of any country besides the US, China, or Russia. India also has access to nuclear weapons. It's expected to become the fourth highest military spender on earth by 2020. 4. Japan Budget: $41.6 billion Active frontline personnel: 247,173 Tanks: 678 Total aircraft: 1,613 Submarines: 16 In absolute terms, the Japanese military is relatively small. Nonetheless, the country is extremely well equipped. According to Credit Suisse, it has the fourth largest submarine fleet in the list. Japan also has four aircraft carriers, although these vessels are only equipped with helicopter fleets. Japan also has the fourth largest attack helicopter fleet behind China, Russia, and the US. 3. China Budget: $216 billion Active frontline personnel: 2,333,000 Tanks: 9,150 Total aircraft: 2,860 Submarines: 67 The Chinese military has grown rapidly in terms of both size and capability in the past few decades. In terms of raw manpower, it's the largest military in the world. It also has the second largest tank fleet behind Russia and the second largest submarine fleet behind the US. China has also made rapid strides in its military modernization program, now developing a range of potentially game-changing military technologies including ballistic missiles and fifth-generation aircraft. 2. Russia Budget: $84.5 billion Active frontline personnel: 766,055 Tanks: 15,398 Total aircraft: 3,429 Submarines: 55 The Russian armed forces are the unquestioned second strongest military power in the world. Russia has the world's largest tank fleet, the second largest aircraft fleet behind the US, and the third largest submarine fleet behind the US and China. The Kremlin's military spending has increased by almost a third since 2008 and is expected to grow 44% more in the next three years. Russia has also demonstrated its ability to project force abroad with its deployment of soldiers to Syria. 1. United states of america Budget: $601 billion Active frontline personnel: 1,400,000 Tanks: 8,848 Total aircraft: 13,892 Submarines: 72 Despite sequestration and other spending cuts, the United States spends more money — $601 billion — on defense than the next nine countries on Credit Suisse's index combined. America's biggest conventional military advantage is its fleet of 10 aircraft carriers. In comparison India, which is constructing its third carrier, has the second-most carriers in the world. The US also has by far the most aircraft of any country, cutting-edge technology like the Navy's new rail gun, a large and well-trained human force — and that's not even counting the world's largest nuclear arsenal.

Foreign Affairs / The Worlds 20 Strongest Military In The World Presently by Sowl(m): 10:32pm On Apr 30, 2016 |
Despite budget cuts and a reduction in size, the US has maintained its position as the world's strongest military, according to a report on globalization from Credit Suisse. While the US is still far and away the world's top military superpower, Russia and China are its closest rivals. Canada, however, is the weakest of the twenty countries on the list. Credit Suisse acknowledged the difficulties of determining comparative military strength in its report. To provide a benchmark, the report assigns weighted values for six variables before tabulating a final score. The factors under consideration for military strength and their total weights are: number of active personnel (5% of total score), tanks (10%), attack helicopters (15%), aircraft (20%), aircraft carriers (25%), and submarines (25%). The ranking defines military might in purely quantitative terms and does not account for the actual quality of the arms and training that the militaries may have. As such, the placement of some countries on the list may come as a surprise. The world's 20 strongest militaries are below. 20. Canada Budget: $15.7 billion Active frontline personnel: 92,000 Tanks: 181 Total aircraft: 420 Submarines: 4 Canada ended up at the bottom of the list due to the country's small number of active personnel, its lack of aircraft carriers and attack helicopters, and its small number of tanks and submarines. However, Canada has still taken part in US operations in Afghanistan and Iraq and it is a member of the NATO military alliance. Canada is also a partner in the US F-35 program, although it may decline the purchase of F-35s depending upon the outcome of elections in October. 19. Indonesia Budget: $6.9 billion Active frontline personnel: 476,000 Tanks: 468 Total aircraft: 405 Submarines: 2 The Indonesian military placed above Canada due its high numbers of active personnel and its relatively large number of tanks. The military, however, suffers from a lack of carriers and aircraft, as well as a minute number of submarines. 18. Germany Budget: $40.2 billion Active frontline personnel: 179,046 Tanks: 408 Total aircraft: 663 Submarines: 4 The German military ended up low on the list due to their lack of power projection platforms. Germany does not have an aircraft carrier and has relatively few submarines which, according to the Credit Suisse methodology, drops its ranking. But Germany does have a fair number of attack helicopters. Recently, the country has started considering offering military support to eastern European NATO members. 17. Poland Budget: $9.4 billion Active frontline personnel: 120,000 Tanks: 1,009 Total aircraft: 467 Submarines: 5 Poland edges out Germany in the list due to its larger number of tanks and a more fleshed out submarine fleet. Poland has also drastically increased its military spending in reaction to Russia's seizure of Crimea and the ongoing Ukraine crisis. 16. Thailand Budget: $5.39 billion Active frontline personnel: 306,000 Tanks: 722 Total aircraft: 573 Submarines: 0 Thailand's military is currently in control of the country following a coup in May 2014. The military is a major player in maintaining Thai unity, and Thailand receives strong scores from Credit Suisse for its number of active personnel, its number of tanks, and its possession of an aircraft carrier. Thailand also scores well as it has an aircraft carrier, although it does not have an aircraft fleet to complement the vessel. |
Phones / Re: The Best 5 Smartphone Cameras In The World by Sowl(m): 9:09pm On Apr 30, 2016 |
1. Samsung galaxy s7/ s7 edge You can debate whether Samsung's Galaxy S7 is the best phone ever made. But there's no question that the rear camera is the best ever installed on a smartphone. This is the 12-megapixel, f/1.7 shooter that dethroned the iPhone in our head-to-head test. It simply features the best dynamic range ever on a smartphone camera, the widest aperture ever on a smartphone camera (to let in more light), the best texture and contrast ever on a smartphone camera, the best low-light shooting ever on a smartphone camera, the fastest autofocus ever on a smartphone camera, and you can even shoot with it underwater (kind of). All that and it hardly ever overexposes or miscolors an image. If you're buying a smartphone based on camera quality, there is no question that this is the one to get.

2. Iphone 6/6s/SE In 2016, the iPhone fell from its usual spot on top of the smartphone photography food chain. The camera currently featured on the iPhone 6s, 6s Plus, and new iPhone SE has started to show its age. But it's still a powerful photographic device. Here's the bad news: The f/2.2 lens has started to look a little outdated next to some of the better Androids. And the iPhone's habit of comparatively muted, low-contrast images, which once offered a big advantage over too-bright, too-saturated Androids, has become a liability as brands like HTC, Samsung, and even LG capture bold colors without losing quality. However, the good news for Apple is that the excellent dynamic range, sharpness, cinematic texture, and sheer smarts of the iPhone let it cling on to that No. 2 spot. It won't make the best possible images of any smartphone, but it's much easier to get a good shot with than the HTC 10 or LG G5. So those "Shot on an iPhone" billboards aren't entirely misguided.

3. Htc 10 Any other year, the brand-new HTC 10 would have had a good run at the top of this list. Its f/1.8-aperture lens produces an excellent look and texture. The 12.1-megapixel sensor has a great dynamic range (the range of highlight and shadow detail it can capture in one shot). And the autofocus is fairly zippy. In fact, on a pure hardware level it outclasses the No. 2 camera on our list. However, this is the year of truly astonishing smartphone cameras. And the HTC's minor flaws keep it locked in the third spot on this list: Its dynamic range doesn't quite match the best smartphone on this list, and left to its own devices it tends to overexpose images more than our top two picks. That said, if you're the kind of photographer who adjusts the exposure before each shot, this may be a better option than No. 2 on account of its superior glass and sensor.

4. LG G5 LG seems to love running with good ideas before it's thought them all the way through. The G5 is the first smartphone to feature two cameras for different focal lengths, putting it at the front of an inevitable trend. It also offers modular accessories like the Cam Plus to improve your shooting. If smartphone cameras are going to leep getting better, they're going to need to function more like DSLRs, with several sensors and lenses for different situations. So conceptually, the G5 is a little bit brilliant. But in practice it doesn't quite get there. LG's decision to make the second lens extra-wide turns it into a bit of a gimmick, the 16-megapixel, f/1.8 main camera can't stand up to other smartphones in our tests, and the Cam Plus didn't work when we tried it.

5. Sony Xperia Z5 The Sony Xperia Z5 was the first new Android flagship released in 2016, and it has its fans. Sony has a good reputation in the smartphone camera business, and DXOMark claims this one's among the best in the world. When it came out in early February, ahead of the other 2016 flagships, it was among the better Android cameras yet released. However, we strongly disagree with the high ratings from DXOMark and other sites. The Sony Xperia Z5 wants very badly to be an excellent smartphone camera. Sony can boast some impressive specs for its flagship device: 23 megapixels and a 0.03-second autofocus sound pretty impressive. Sony calls them "revolutionary" in its advertising. But in reality, this is the most disappointing of all this year's flagship phones. Chasing unnecessarily high megapixel counts off a cliff can ruin a device; the more pixels you squeeze onto a sensor of the exact same size, the more you risk degrading their quality. The Xperia Z5 tends to overexpose shots and blow out highlights and shadows. Its f/2.3-aperture lens lets in less light than any other camera on this list, and the autofocus time wasn't even close to 0.03 seconds in our experience. (Aperture refers to the width of the hole in the lens through which light can pass. Lower numbers mean bigger holes, more light, and nice blurry backgrounds.) The Z5 is a fine phone, and it's better than most older phones when it comes to photography. But there's better options out there.

Politics / The Early Turbulent Journey Of The Non-accidental public Servant!!! by Sowl(m): 11:48pm On Apr 05, 2016 |
A consolatory article for every struggling Nigerian(zombies and wailers inclusive) D; No light, no water, no fuel, no food, no no no is the chorus sang all over the country at present. No doubt that times are really hard, but every man who sees beyond his nose can see a silver lining in the cloudy future. The hope that keeps a pregnant woman going, is knowing for sure that the pains will be over after a period of time. This hope is what keeps her alive, strong and up and doing. After more than 50 years as an independent nation, 3 republics past and 16 years wasted in an uninterrupted democracy, Nigerians for the first time elected a leader that didn't emerge by chance- but by a conscious attempt to being the president of the country. According to history, no Nigerian leader had emerged from a conscious preparation to being a president except President Buhari. Sir Abubakar Tafawa balewa the first and only prime minister of Nigeria never dreamt or prepared to lead Nigeria when he did, it was a chance provided by the great Sir Ahmadu Bellow the Sardauna of Sokoto who had every chance to become the prime minister but rejected, and sent his deputy at party level to fill in that space. Alhaji Shahu Shagari became president after Obasonjo willingly relinquished power to a democratically elected president. Then, he was vying for a senatorial seat but the calculation changed and he found himself on the presidential seat, the rest is now history. Ernest Shonikan came into power only to fill a vacuum created by the annulment of the June 12, 1992 elections by the them military president Gen. Ibrahim Babangida. Chief Olusegun Obasanjo's prison to president miracle is a well known story, and how he literarily dragged the unwilling and ill Umaru Musa Yar'dua to presidency is also a well known story. Sooner than we all thought, Goodluck Jonathan became a child of necessity- this necessitated his emergence as president of our country without ever preparing for the challenge of being a president. It took him almost his entire tenure to learn the act of being a president. Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi, Gen. Yakubu Gowon, Gen. Murtala Muhammed, Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, Gen. Sani Abacha and Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar were all "accidental public servants". Only President Buhari came to power with a conscious attempt to becoming a president. He had plans with a task to building the country from scratch, by firstly identify the menace in the system and deal with it head on. In every system, there is a critical sector that when fixed, other sectors will automatically fix themselves. In the case of Nigeria, this critical sector is corruption. Corruption is a lucrative sector in our system that is responsible for almost all ills and when fixed, insecurity will fix itself, unemployment will do same, power failure will exist only in history books, brain drain will turn the other way round, foreign investor and tourist will find home in Nigeria, and a lot more too many to mention. Isaac Newton's 3rd law of motion states "to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction" this law explains the hardship Nigerians are faced with today. The action of President Buhari in fighting corruption provokes the reaction of the corrupt to fight back with equal if not more powerful reaction. They are fighting back with their lives. This reaction is responsible for the hardship we are faced with today, but with little more time, am sure they will be defeated because they are the treacherous enemies of the state. Buhari acted by implementing TSA, being a major step to plugging leakages, they reacted by changing their monies to dollars and starching them in suck ways, farms and villages. This resulted in the scarcity of dollar and the free fall of Naira in the parallel market. Buhari acted by reducing pump price by 50k and removing the controversial fuel subsidy, they reacted by creating an artificial scarcity, just to get back to the president with the people's anger. Buhari acted by producing an unprecedented budget with higher capital expenditure, which gives hopes for better days, but they swiftly reacted by paddling the budget, trying to ridicule the government at the detriment of the masses resulting to delaying the passage of the budget. Without a passed budget, it is always difficult to pay salaries let alone do anything significant. Buhari acted by "unbundling" NNPC into 7 units for transparency and accountability,they reacted by cutting off fuel supply chains to power stations, throwing the whole country into darkness for days. They will always follow the Newton's law, in an effort to bring back corruption while we will always be at the offensive to stamp out corruption. A little more patience is just what is needed...

Politics / Senator Ben Murray-bruce The Twitter Titan Senator Finally Makes Common Sense! by Sowl(m): 11:47pm On Feb 22, 2016 |
Fall In Value Of Naira: Ben Bruce Blasts Nigerians We're to Be Blamed, Not Buhari Senator Ben Murray-Bruce is bruised and this time he wants you guys to see how far he has gone to GrowTheNaira. He thinks we are fooling ourselves by blaming the government for our woes. See His CommonSense rants below: Many Nigerians are complaining about the constant fall in the value of the Naira and they blame the Government. But is the government really to blame? In truth, our insatiable appetite for all things foreign is to blame. I always fly Arik Business Class whenever I am traveling abroad except Arik does not fly on that route. Not only is an Arik ticket a fraction of the cost of a British Airways ticket, but the money I pay to Arik circulates in Nigeria and helps firm up the Naira’s value. As I speak to you today, a British Airways Business to London is ₦2,103,666 while Arik Business is ₦551,545 yet our elite still fly BA But though Arik offers an affordable alternative to British Airways and other foreign airlines, our big men prefer to pay double what Arik charges to BA and other foreign airlines for the same services and yet they complain about the value of the Naira. I have Nasco cornflakes and I have eaten Kellogs cornflakes. In terms of nutrition and taste they are almost indistinguishable. Yet our elite who will rather eat Kellogs than Nasco cornflakes, wonder why the Naira is falling! Even something like Quaker Oats can be substituted with corn meal known locally as pap. Obasanjo Farms of Nigeria and other large scale poultry farms have the capacity to provide chicken for the entire nation. Since that is the case, why are we even buying imported chicken? In fact what is wrong if every family in Nigeria has a poultry in their backyard to give them eggs and meat? My steward went to Makoko, which is one of the largest fishing communities in Lagos. He wanted to buy fish and they were selling imported frozen fish! Yet in the very waters in front of them, there exist fresh fish that is more nutritious than the cheap frozen fish they were selling. We keep spending over 1 Billion Naira importing rice when our own farmers are capable of meeting our national demand for rice. But for some reason, Nigerians just prefer to buy imported rice. The imported rice we buy in Nigeria is not as good as our local rice because it has been stored for years in silos and treated with chemicals. Moreover, every time you buy it, your money is going out of Nigeria to service an economy in Asia. The end result is that their currency gains value while ours loses value. Have you ever wondered why European Premiership Clubs are so interested in Nigeria? It is because Nigerians spend billions traveling to Europe to watch their games, buy their merchandise and promote their leagues. Yet, back at home, we would not be caught dead watching our own local league. If we will not spend money on made in Nigeria goods and services, how can we expect our Naira to hold its value and appreciate? Obviously we can not cut ourselves off from the world. No nation is an island, but at least we can fly Nigerian airlines, eat locally produced food and patronize our football league. If we do this, not only will our economy grow and produce jobs for Nigerians, it will also make our goods and services improve in value such that they will be attractive enough to be imported. I bought Innoson vehicles as official cars for my staff. I have never lived to regret it one day. They are comfortable and durable. But most of all, I know that my purchase helps to keep jobs in Nigeria and improve the value of the Naira. I urge you to do the same. We have no other country but Nigeria and it is you and I that will make it what it is. If we buy Naija We Will Grow Naira. My name is Ben Murray-Bruce and I just want to make Commonsense! 7 Likes 1 Share |

Sunnypar: Your royal uselessnes I see no way my question as anything to do with a dimwit like yourself.... But it seems you haven't learnt from trespassing a military barricaded zone. Last time I checked this thread priortises the need to clearly state out job opening location, to allow for easy assessment for those that might be interested..... So why you decided taking daga and phensic tablets for another man's head and body pain beats my mundane imagination. If the poster of the job advert was the one who reprimanded me I wouldn't get pissed ,but a good for nothing busy body like yourself trying to take a shine off my innocuous question won't ever be over looked by me!!! Be warned scallywag!!! 10 Likes 2 Shares |
