No computer on Bubu's table??

No computer on Donald Trump's, Putin's, Merkel's tables as well.

Paper talk and speculations...
EU will never destroy their ties with US because of just Iran, they would be risking more going against America on this.
Remember, most European nations are too small to withstand economic sanctions from the US.

Are you kidding me?. Eurozone has a population of 400million. The whole point of Euro if looked at it carefully was actually to upstage the US. Trump is bringing forward the demise of the US. The UK, France and Belgium for instance have hidden power through their former colonies, Germany has large economy, surpluses and internal efficiencies. Please pray for America

Actually:
1) Denel is no longer pursuing the Gripen designator/Rooivalk carrier option. Gripen is too fast and Denel doesn't have the funds for the integration to adapt Mokopa missile accordingly; separate ground operator, other heli-borne, Hawk LIFT, Seeker UAV designators work well enough.

2) Mistral a2a ran out a decade and no replacement. The idea is overhaul of doctrine when new stocks of A-darter arrive in 2nd quarter of 2019.

3) The naval aspect was abandoned when the Rooivalk order was cut from 48 to 12. As were so many other things, like the MMW radar.

4) The anti-ship Mokopa missiles carried on the Algerian Super Lynx can only be fired from our Super Lynx, not Rooivalk, because the Algerians insisted Agusta carry the integration costs.

In conclusion, while our Rooivalk is still 2nd to the Algerian MI-28/ Egyptian Apache when it comes to dedicated attack helis on the African continent purely on specs, performance and ease of maintenance, it's in need of an avionics upgrade.

I'm a Nigerian but have big issues with Russian aircraft. The MI 35M has its functionalities over and above what NAF used to have but it and MI 28 are completely unsuited to modern net centric warfare. Yes they also don't have radar which limits range and accuracy of targeting like exists on the Longbow Apache and Rooivark for instance. Even now the MI 35M would struggle with detection and target engagement accuracy beyond 2km I am sure .

Russians should get their acts together if they are going to compete internationally . Even the MIG 29 MST that Nigeria might buy at some point falls short at detection and engagement accuracy beyond 70km. It's percusor models would had radar that could see only up to 70km integrated with delivering missiles delivering up to 90km accurately . How does that work?. Russians have over emphasized dogfighting and powerful engines to the detriment of holistic capabilities that ensure true mission effectiveness modern battle space

It is almost unfair to come from a particular geographical area of Nigeria. Their mind is now completely demented. Someone WON elections by about 3 million votes and a young supposedly intelligent Nigerian is asking what Tinbu saw that "other Nigerians did not". This is Biafran idiocy. At least 15 million people saw "this thing " that Tinubu saw and voted. In 2019, a lot of us who also saw and did not vote in 2015 will come and confirm it with more than 50million votes.
Stop deceiving yourself. The man is already succeeding. He has brought back agric in a big way. He is rapidly building reserves and savings. He is doing infrastructure. Education and health will also improve with the new budgetary provisions.

Are governors sponsoring cultists?, Yes.
Could Kwara State Gov be sponsoring cultist ?, Yes
Could he have phoned Saraki to scare him into helping him?, Yes.
Could Saraki have been sponsoring cultists?, Yes. He was a PDP governor for two terms.

How did the Kwara governor obtain this information about what should have been a routine police case?. Some of his boys were involved

PDP doesn't need a cambridge analytica video to campaign agains Buhari. What has happened in the last 3 yrs will make them send him back to Daura sharply

There is nobody in PDP that can beat Buhari. What you guys don't know is plenty. Nigeria's demographic is as follows;

Upper Income - 2.5%

Middle Income Mega Cities - 12.5% (Lagos, Kano, Portharcourt, Abuja)

Middle Income Urban (Other State Capitals) - 10%

Middle Income Semi Urban dwelling - 15%

Lower Income Mega Cities - 30 %

Lower Income Urban - 20%

Lower Income Semi Urban 10 %


OTHER DEMOGRAPHIC CRITERIA
Christians - 55%
Muslims - 50%

Bubari is going to take healthy slices of these demographics far more than any thing PDP will throw. Many Christians in Nigeria are Evangelicals (been again churches) and white garment. They actually hate PDP more than Muslims. Even Catholics in Northern Ibo land are leaning Buhari if he is running against another Northerner.
Buhari also has N- power Army, Federal might and patronage dispensing power. To add to PDP misery, there is no access to public funds that they traditionally use to finance elections and very few INEC employees wil risk taking their bribes and APC governors are many. Governors rule their states..

Another issue is IG of Police and his SARS, military deployments and internal geo political flash points.

It appears everything that PDP has used to win elections in the past will now be directed against them. EVERYTHING!!!

It is not impossible for God but PDP is the last party that God will answer prayers for.

I even foresee KOWA, APGA and SDP doing very well in state reps, House of Reps and Senate races at the expense of PDP.

Sponsored story. Maybe paid for by people working for Dan Kwabo. The Nigerian press is thoroughly compromised

Why do you deceive yourself that the Engineering capital is in the East?. The steel industry, machine tools, rollung mills, logistics infrastructure, largest ports are in the West there including universities

One big problem with Arab countries that Nigeria does not make, buying a system is not buying a capability. You buy an air defense system, you train your men for all eventuality, you develop threat scenarios for what you probably have not thought of before , you do exercises , you adapt based on what you observed during exercises and then you have capability.

ActivateKruger:
As you said, they have no radar and as Patches said, they use an indigenous link system called the LINK-ZA to acquire real-time radar data from supporting radar systems.

An exotic scenario would be, in a shortage of air power (let's say the Gripens are over stretched), a single Gripen can fly with a group of Hawks (even if not in the same formation), the Gripen will be the radar while the Hawks will be the weapon. Also because the Gripen has a built-in Electronic Warfare suit, it can do jamming and tracking simultaneously for the Hawks.

This is a commendably smart way to use aircraft like Hawk or the NAF Alpha Jet. You could actually use them for long range ground attack missions with conformable extra tanks and big bombs. The radar bearing 4th gen combat aircraft track, scan and engage airborne threats while they drop ordnance on targets and leave the area. For the 4th gen aircraft that have comprehensive EW Suites and RWR, the smaller aircraft could conceivably find use as killers of AA batteries if they get coordinates of SAM batteries via data links real time from the bigger 4gen a / craft or AWACS like aircraft in the vicinity

No Sane Human Being Won't Admire The Best President Nigeria Has Ever Produced.

The Anti Corruption Champion Of Africa.

Mr. President Listen: You can rule us till eternity.

We Love You Onye Eziokwu.

We will give Buhari another term of FOUR years. We need corrupt politicians and the schemers for public office, godfathers, mafia networks out of business. Lets wreck their plans. We want them all to "kogba wole" (close shop) so that our kids can thrive and grow in this most blessed country on earth

This overgrown baby FFK should stop posting pseudo religious stuff to confuse his low brow, half educated admirers.

This road you are going will destroy PDP completely . I have seen many warnings to PDP supporters on social media some are heeding it. This road is the road to failure.

valentineuwakwe:
imaging increasing a national budget by a whopping N1trillion. .what for? this country sef. .we are yet to talk about the withdrawal from the excess crude account or the millions of dollars use in buying Tucson jets to fight boko haram attacking us in 2020. . .we may experience another recesssion by december 2018 is all what politicians cared for is to loot the treasury for the 2019 elections. . .God is watching!

I dislike Saraki and most of PDP but increasing the budget is a good move. It actually prevents extra budgetary spending like the $460m for Super Tucano taken from EVA when you budget realistically. Nigeria is making N22.5bn EXTRA everyday because of oil price. We need to plan well and bring all expenditure into a realistic budget mechanism that can be tracked and assessed. Buhari has reduced corruption drastically so it is not like in the past. The only problem with this is inflation.

Keep consoling yourself with wailing that is detrimental to your health..............

Can't Buhari stop the project if he wanted? Why exactly was it not completed in 2016 as you alleged?


Last quarter of this year will be hot for wailers as many of the silent projects of this administration will be unfolded to the public

Buhari promised to continue with good projects and policies of GEJ and abandon the clueless ones that encouraged massive corruption and under development

You summarized everything that an intelligent , articulate person should have as an attitude to projects in Nigeria.

Yes . You know Ekweremadu who was old enough to hide in trenches during the civil war ?.
He is just 56 years old. We will forcefully believe it but won't believe that the twenty apartments and houses in 20 countries of the world acquired as a public servant are just attempts by the Buhari led executive to rubbish him.

Mogidi:
Buhari was petroleum minister in the 70s when he was alleged to have deposited $2.8bil in midland bank London. That money disappeared never to be seen again. There's a reason Buhari runs to London everytime, he has $2.8bil to play with.

This is the SAD lie they have used to loot your destiny. Some of us were in secondary school then. Believe me your IQ has to very low to believe this trash .
Do you know FFK, GEJ, Fayose, Atiku and other PDP stalwarts don't even mention N2.8bn (it is not $2.8bn btw, those who quote $2.8bn are inferior products of Nigeria's education system. N2.8bn then was more in value than $2.8bn. I bet you don't even know that)

So PDP stalwarts above the age of 55 don't mention N2.8bn because it is a lie that you cannot tell as an educated person in Nigeria. They will ridicule you for months.

There was NO N2.8b missing . The newspaper that carried it was reporting falsehood

magicminister:
CRUDE OIL PRICES HAS GROWN BY ABOUT 200% SINCE BUHARI AND OSINBANJO GOT INTO OFFICE THIS CURRENT ADMINISTRATION KEEPS MAKING EXCUSES.

RATHER THAN INVESTING IN CAPITAL PROJECTS, BUHARI DECIDED THAT IT WAS BEST TO USE OUR 462 MILLION DOLLARS (166 BILLION NAIRA) FROM OUR EXCESS CRUDE MONEY TO BUY OUTDATED JETS FROM THE UNITED STATES...

THAT MONEY COULD HAVE BUILT A WORLD CLASS UNIVERSITY OR UPGRADED SOME OF OUR CURRENT UNIVERSITIES
THAT MONEY COULD HAVE BUILT WORLD CLASS HOSPITALS WITH WORLD CLASS EQUIPMENTS.
THAT MONEY COULD HAVE FIXED ALOT OF FEDERAL ROADS (DEATH TRAPS) IN THE 36 STATES.
THAT MONEY COULD HAVE BEEN USED TO BOOST AGRICULTURE IN THE NORTH AND ALLEVIATE POVERTY

THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS WE COULD'VE DONE WITH THE MONEY BUHARI WASTED ON MILITARY JETS THAT HE CLAIMED WOULD BE USED TO FIGHT THE ILL EQUIPPED TERRORIST GROUP.

Before the crude oil prices started rallying, the A PC government had already started building infrastructure, diversifying to agriculture and helping the poor. If you are a young lazy guy in the city spending your time on social media you won't see it. This government is for farmers, engineers, builders, scientists not for urban dwelling dummies.
Everything you have posted in capital letters here were already being done whenmoil was $45 A barrel. I don't know what you thought Buhari was, some corrupt weak amateur too grateful to be in Aso Rock like GEJ?

Please keep your eyes focussed and your brains working by early 2019 you will gnash your teeth as a PEP supporter wgphwn you see how a govt should work

Front1line:
How someone can conjure something as hopelessly senseless and foolish as this is baffling.

When will you Igbo ever make use of your brain in political permutations ?

No northern candidate will beat Buhari in any SW state no matter who he is.

And that is including if Fulani herdsmen wipe out the entire Igbo race in Nigeria. No one gives a flying fork about you haters. Get that into your thick skull.

He even has Ogun State, Osun State and Kwara State as toss up. Kwara of course because of Saraki...lol.
This is #LazyNigerianYouths

Who did this childish geopolitical map?. Where is this delusion of Atikus popularity in the North coming from?. Most young southerners are operating in this cocoon and looking at the Nigerian political space with coloured glasses.

Just look at the "strongly Atiku" map. Did you actually do a poll or you just sat on your fat ass and imagined that what you see on tweeter or read in Nairaland is politics?.

OFFICIAL336:
Remove shia moslems, Northern christians, Benue, Plateau, Taraba, Adamawa, Southern Kaduna, Gombe, SE/SS in the North.

Now tell us how many are reminding. The shock that will befall you people in Feb is still undergoing special ops training in Afghanistan.

They already removed all those. It is still more than 15 million. Add no-rigging adjustment, add new farmers, add N-power. It is a landslide for Bubari. You can say otherwise but that would be delusion.

Buhari will pursue all corrupt monies with TENACITY.. In his second term a lot of politicians are going on permanent exile. This will depress many of their supporters.

OLUWANISH0LA:
But to me this is very very annoying, what kind of system of government is this..Fayemi an ex governor and presently a serving minister contest for the same governorship post he left some years back or even contest atall....

*sighs* He just went through party primaries. He is not contesting elections yet .

Poor boy is posting mothers day stuff and local breeeeds can only think of banging. smh

What an idiotic thread? . The OP types his own figures into a spreadsheet, plots a graph and posts it online. What's left is for half educated, provincial youths to swallow it hook line sinker.

No country lies about it's foreign reserves. It only happens if you are an inferiorit Complex afflicted, troubled youth from Eastern Nigeria. Everybody is tracking foreign reserves. Portfolio investors, fund managers, international Forex dealers, IMF,World Bank, US Fed Reserve Bank et c.

Why Nairaland accepts lies and low IQ stuff is still beyond me. It degrades the portal when any idxxt can just post anything.

This man privatized many enterprises to himself and friends as VP with OBJ as President. That was what started his political problems with OBJ
Why does he like privatizing stuff much? There are many elements of economic policy but why privatization all the time with Atiku?

danduchi:
The result is completely false... We were at a polling unit yesterday and some guys almost broke the EVM cos when you press to vote for a different party, it automatically adds to APC

This is a LIE. There is no way to know what party the vote is being added to at the terminal. You vote and you collect a receipt.

OFFICIAL336:
Oga, this is a mere LG election, so don't use it to generalize. The dynamics of the election should tell you that APC is in trouble. No opposition has won a single LG since 2015.
Just imagine only 42k voted for APC in Zaria, what will happen when the Shia moslems, the Southerners file out to send Buhari back to Daura.
If PDP can win a mere LG in Kaduna, capital of Arewa and Buhari's residence, then APC is really in trouble.
Stop analysing election like a toddler.

Why has no opposition won a single state before? Why is Nigeria peopled but cowards and liars? You see the truth you run away and you call yourself a man.
Oppositions don't win because of rigging.
This election was not rigged. Pure and simple. The INEC is independent and El Rufai is very very confident Southern Kaduna issue, sacking of unqualified teachers and insulting his State Senators and he still recorded this performance.
Please think vigorously not like a woman

Terror ke?. Fayose knows he has flouted the law terribly. He knows it is retribution time. You a big f00l if you waste sympathy on people like Fayose, That quality is to be spent on the poor, the sick and the widows. Let Fayose welcome his fate with courage and fortitude. It is not going to be nice but slapping judges, cash on the plane scandal, paying thugs, you have to take the hit. It is not only the poor in Nigeria that should face consequences. The rich also cry.
