This is not true...I work for a telecom mast company and that's not how it works sir!

I agree with you. Seun your mods are good at spreading lies. Why will you bring a false news to the front page? To show the world how foolish we NIGERIANS are? How dull we are that we do not know how EM radiation works?

If the radiation from the phone will boil an egg, then the sun shoukd do the same too. About telecommunications mass... What about photons from the sun??

We have got ionizing and non ionizing radiation. Visible light.. Gamma etc

Thank God for chadian gallant soldiers...and d Nigerian soldiers that supported them

You're making another mistake. Bama was liberated by the Nigerian troops alone. NAF started with air assault the the Nigerian army stormed bama with ground troops supported with tanks.

F22 emcon. Between, don't mind my tabs

Lazyreporta:
Am not coming for u

I am here to learn

Nice reply.
Since the person claimed the phone EM energy boiled the egg, then the sun should be able to do so.

I won't be able to type much but you can google Electromagnetic radiation and check NASA links. It should be brief compared to using Wikipedia.

Lmao.. You mean an EM energy from a mobile phone cooked an egg?? Try harder, fake news.. Then my TV should fry the egg then..

Before you come for me,

Em energy emmited from mobile phones are very weak.

You know Nigeria has a problem when you see Naval training going on in the desert.

Navy= Water. Hellooooo?

Go and ask the British SBS why they operate on land too.

Dantee005:
U are correct bro...buh the navy special forces also operate mainly on water too na...the name proves it too,,,nigerian navy special boat service....

We have navy deployed at North east. The special boat service of the nigerian navy are trained to operate on land too. Just like the Airforce special force.

Dantee005:
Yes,the navy operates on water mainly...and SEALs aint navy...check the meaning of SEAL ...Sea Air and Land...it a institution from the Us navy.....

Navy operate on water but Navy also has a special force, Nigeria Navy Special boat service. US uses seal while the British use Special boat service.

Opinion… The Distasteful and Unpatriotic Campaigns for Boko Haram Terrorists


In the last couple of days, patriotic Nigerians have noticed the unpatriotic and distasteful campaigns by some masked forces and unscrupulous elements within and outside Nigeria in favour of the Islamic outlaws, Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs). The cyber space and traditional media hype is revived and craftily moulded to suggest the return of the BHTs in Nigeria’s Northeast zone, proven not to have only been defeated, but decimated to the level of powerlessness to visit mayhem on targets.

One is taken aback by this clear and deliberate propaganda and the conscription of some segments of the media into this devilish plot and treacherous game. More to it, the stampede of Nigerians and the rest of the world with the erroneous belief that sensational news flashes which tend to enforce public perception that BHTs are not just back to the trenches in the liberated communities of the Northeast, but have also overwhelmed the dogged Nigerian soldiers is white lie.
But I am happy about the prior knowledge of the Nigerian army of the fresh antics by terrorists’ internal and external collaborators.’ Months back, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Gen. Tukur Buratai decried this trend, expressing concern that defeated BHTs and their sponsors have resorted to the cyber space and the media, to give the terror war a new face. The gimmick is designed to frighten Nigerians with preachments on a non-existent potency of a terror sect, already lavishly devoured by the Nigerian military.
A few days earlier, discreditable media reports, with no verifiable attributions overtly lied about BHTs’ ambush of soldiers stationed at Gashigar, in Borno state left scores dead. It also said, the Nigerian army is still searching for the whereabouts of 85 soldiers reportedly missing after the attack from terrorists who had superior fire power.
The carefully concocted lies have continued to be pushed to the public at intervals. Nigerians have been told troops in the battle field have pending or unpaid two months allowances. But none of these BHTs agents write about unpaid salaries because it would easily be confirmed. The same agents disseminate fake news to the effect that the terrorists have re-foisted their flags in some communities in the Northeast, but also fail to name the areas reclaimed by BHTs.
Nigerians are not unmindful of the intent of such propaganda, which is mainly designed to instill the phobia of terror in the minds of Nigerians, rubbish the excellent performance of the Nigerian military in the terror war and discouragingly dampen the spirit of troops fighting insurgency.
I am convinced that Nigerians are not distracted by these hateful campaigns of calumny against Nigerian soldiers and the nation. The records of the performance of the Nigeria military, particularly soldiers who have conquered terrorists and brought respite to afflicted communities cannot be lessened by this abhorrent propaganda by agents of terrorists.
It is important to recount that in the last one year, soldiers under Gen. Buratai have reclaimed 14 LGAs in Nigeria formerly under BHTs occupation; destroyed their demonic insignias; freed over 20, 000 BHTs abductees and terrorists or their collaborators are being massively arrested for prosecution. Soldiers’ played significant roles in the liberty now enjoyed by some captured, but released Chibok girls and ensured almost zero-level incidents of attacks on communities in the Northeast and other mega cities in Nigeria.
Nigerian soldiers have earned accolades and international recognition for these rare acts of gallantry in the warfare on terrorists, as the out-going UN Secretary General, Mr. Ban Ki-Moon has lauded President Buhari.
Again, one compelled to stress that the increased military presence in the Northeast; the re-stocking of the Nigerian army and other arms of the Nigerian military and the unyielding spirit of soldiers boosted by prompt payment of salaries and allowances give no room to the freeness of terrorists to operate in the country, as the agents are canvassing in the exaggerative propaganda.
It has been evidently, a harvest of victories against terrorists and despite the economic recession, the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) under President Muhammedu Buhari is not prepared to relent on his pact with Nigerians to end the scourge of insurgency and other malignant acts of terror in parts of the country.
The funding and re-equipping of the Nigerian military with latest arms and ammunitions has been the priority of Buhari’s administration. The support of the international community like the USA and Britain among other nations, with weapons and military intelligence support have fortified Nigerian soldiers enough against any display of sophistry against them by terrorists.
Recently, the Minister of Defence, Brig.-Gen. Mansur Dan-Ali (rtd) disclosed the acquisition of additional war ships by the Nigerian Navy. The COAS, Gen. Buratai in the week just ended inaugurated the newly constructed headquarters of the 331 Artillery Tactical Forward Operation Base (FOB) at Buratai, Biu LGA of Borno to strengthen and fast-track soldiers’ response to threats and any unforeseeable aggression of terrorists.
Nigerian soldiers are rated as one of the best ground soldiers in the world as records have verified this performance in peace keeping operations under the auspices of the United Nations (UN) or ECOMOG in Africa and other embattled countries of the world. We also know that BHTs had a field day against Nigeria and her citizens because the morale of troops in the warfront was dampened because of the poor leadership of the relieved Service Chiefs.
All these shortcomings have been corrected or resolved and Nigerian soldiers are confronting the insurgency professionally and triumphantly. BHTs agents merely wish that Nigeria remain under the spell of terrorists, but it is practically impossible now.
There is no how Nigerian soldiers operating under these sound and supportive conditions would be subdued by terrorists as intoned by their agents, through false propaganda. I join the league of other patriotic Nigerians to say Nigerian citizens need not live under the phobia of terrorism anymore, through the fake illusion of strength and the scare-tricks terrorists’ agents bestow on the outlaws.
The sensational hoopla about the daring exploits of BHTs has no iota of truth and Nigerian soldiers have renewed their vow, now more than ever before, never to allow terrorism flourish in any part of the country. And no unpatriotic scare-monger would intimidate the nation again. Like other Nigerians, we believe in this progress, so it shall be, in the name of God Almighty, Amen!

The great Admiral

USS Ronald Reagan says hi. Meanwhile I heard Russian carrier is so stealthy that Her majesty ships can't even acquire her visually. I'll post a pics soon.

Onijagidijagan:
Thank God to chadian soldiers

Nigerian troops liberated bama.

Henry240:
Yeah dude, i scratch your back, and you scratch mine. I shared a beautiful photo of SA navy Frigate, and i expected NNS Unity photos in return.



All parties are satisfied.

NO. This is bribery and corruption. We can't take this.

Peter is in a class of it's own.

The Zumwalt is still undergoing trials.

Commissioned already.

LTGEN:
Russia is playing a very Risky game, the same type of Game America overreacting to simple events in the Ukraine.Britain exited from the E.U.not from the NATO.Britain out of all Nations has recent experiences in sinking Ships and recently spent over $2B on a Single Ship.This Russian Ship is far from home a fact not lost on NATO with its most Advanced Planes .Subs from Scotland and Sweden and Norway would sink this Ship in Minutes.
Russia should not overplay it's hand over simple spats and it does not entail it showing its most Advanced goods.

Funny.. In minutes.. So funny..
Experience. When last did that happen? You want to sink a carrier capable of commiting offensive cruising with a submarine, battle cruiser escort?
Am not pro Russian but sentiment apart it's not easy..
The carrier will rather be the last man standing.

Cannonleo:
The russkies decided to showcase its shiny new toys of its sole carrier while crossing the English channel in a world that thought massive naval deployment was an alien word to them , damn I wonder what NATO nd the crew of the type 45 was thinking.

Meanwhile, the hear signature of the admiral kuznesov is definitely massive.

That's a well armed aircraft carrier that's capable of defending herself. So obviously the thermal signature should be that high.

sheyiofficial:
At least 83 Nigerian soldiers

83 armed and trained soldiers. Stop posting Bullshit....

suavecool:
Yes...learning in chinese increases your chances BUT Chinese language ain't beans oooo. Its best you go for English option. Am studying in English but still learning Chinese language for communication sake. You can apply to more than one school. As for CUCAS...i didn't use them, there are so many help links even students already on ground can help you secure admission. But it comes with a cost!
I kept trying on my own till it worked, but if you are not patient you may try using links.

Hey. What school?

This is DDG-1000 he is stealthy. Zumwalt class is huge but will will look like a fishing boat on your radar screen. DDG-1000 is a good boy. Be like him.

Zumwalt: Inside the U.S. Navy's New "First-Of-Its-Kind," Super Stealth Destroyer


The Navy's new "first-of-its-kind," high-tech stealthy destroyer, armed with the most lethal weapons ever engineered onto a surface ship, is slated for commissioning on Saturday Oct. 15, in Baltimore, Md.

The ship will soon go to San Diego, Calif., where it will go through what’s called “ship activation" - a process of integrating the major systems and technologies on the ship leading up to an eventual live-fire exercise of its guns and missiles.

As part of this process, the Navy will eventually fire long-range precision guns and missiles from its lethal, stealthy new destroyer -- in anticipation of its ultimate deployment on the open seas, service and industry officials explained.

The new Destroyer, called DDG 1000 or the future USS Zumwalt, is a 610-foot land and surface warfare attack ship designed with a stealthy, wave-piercing “tumblehome” hull.

On Friday May 20, 2016, the new ship was formally delivered to the Navy at Bath Iron Works in Portland, Maine.

“The shape of the superstructure and the arrangement of its antennas significantly reduce radar cross section, making the ship less visible to enemy radar at sea,” a Navy statement said.

"The U.S. Navy accepted delivery of the most technically complex and advanced warship the world has ever seen," Rear Adm. (select) James Downey, DDG 1000 Program Manager, said in a written statement.

Several reports have indicated that ships off the coast of Maine recently thought the DDG 1000 was a small fishing boat due to its stealthy design. That is precisely the intent of the ship – it seeks to penetrate enemy areas, delivery lethal attack while remaining undetected by enemy radar. The ship is engineered for both land attack and open water surface warfare, Navy officials explain.

(This first appeared in Scout Warrior here.)

“In the next phase, the Navy will be driving, connecting, integrating and proving the functionality of the ship systems such as the radar, sonar and gun. The Navy will test out the basics make sure the ship can work then by testing those components of the ship that actually make it a warship,” Wade Knudson, DDG 1000 Program Manager, Raytheon, told Scout Warrior in an interview.

“The Navy will be making sure that the propulsion system works to create the power to drive the ship at the speeds it is supposed to go.”

Ship delivery follows extensive tests, trials and demonstrations of the ship’s Hull, Mechanical, and Electrical systems including the ship’s boat handling, anchor and mooring systems as well as major demonstrations of the damage control, ballasting, navigation and communications systems, Navy officials said.

The ship is slated to be commissioned in Baltimore, Maryland Oct. 15.

“Zumwalt's crew has diligently trained for months in preparation of this day and they are ready and excited to take charge of this ship on behalf of the U.S. Navy," Capt. James Kirk, commanding officer of the future Zumwalt, said in a written statement.

DDG 1000 Weapons

The ship is engineered to fire Tomahawk missiles as well as torpedoes, Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile and a range of standard missiles such as the SM2, SM3 and SM6.

The ship also fires Vertical Launch Anti-Submarine Rockets, or ASROCs. ASROCs are 16-feet long with a 14-inch diameter; a rocket delivers the torpedo at very high speeds to a specific point in the water at which point it turns on its sensors and searches for an enemy submarine.

The first weapons to fire from the Mk 57 vertical launch tubes will be the ship defensive weapons called the Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile and the Standard Missile 2, or SM-2.

The ship is also built with Mk 57 a vertical launch tubes which are engineered into the hull near the perimeter of the ship.

Called Peripheral Vertical Launch System, the tubes are integrated with the hull around the ship’s periphery in order to ensure that weapons can keep firing in the event of damage. Instead of having all of the launch tubes in succession or near one another, the DDG 1000 has spread them out in order to mitigate risk in the event attack, developers said.

In total, there are 80 launch tubes built into the hull of the DDG 1000; the Peripheral Vertical Launch System involves a collaborative effort between Raytheon and BAE Systems.

Also, the launchers are especially designed with software such that it can accommodate a wide range of weapons; the launchers can house one SM-2, SM-3 or SM-6, ASROCs and up to four ESSMs due to the missile’s smaller diameter, Knudson added.

“It has a common launcher to you can change the adapter or computer function which connects the ship to the missile,” he said.

The ship also has a 155mm long range, precision-capable gun called the Advanced Gun System made by BAE Systems. The weapon can, among other things, fire a munition called the Long-Range Land Attack Projectile which can strike target at ranges out to 64 nautical miles.

Most deck mounted 5-inch guns currently on Navy ships are limited to firing roughly 8-to-10 miles at targets within the horizon or what’s called line of sight. The Advanced Gun System, however, fires GPS-guided precision 155m rounds beyond-the-horizon at targets more than three times that distance.

New Sonar, Power Systems, Radar Technology.

nemesis2u:
counter measures against RPG ?
fly above the engagement range simple. just over 500 meters should do

also RPGs uses impact fuse (primary fuse) together with a time fuse (secondary fuse) , if the RPG does not hit a target ie the primary fuse is not activated in say 5 sec (i forgot the exact time period but it should be less than 5 sec) then the warhead gets detonated by the secondary fuse thus rendering it useless , it is a safety feature.

also it is not easy to simply point a RPG at an aerial target and and fire , depending on his firing position and immediate surroundings the RPG gunner will risk himself to the backblow which will cause serious injuries .

Yea.True I was referring to manpad. My bad.

Xbee007:
Nice point u just raised. Sometimes one will read news that BHT attack over a military lasted for several hours and you begin to wonder why they didn't call in for an airstrike.
The reality is that our Airforce barely undertake any supportive role in active combat scene, perhaps, for the fear of being shot down by the terrorist 's Anti-Aircraft Gun.

Exactly. They should just invest in countermeasures for those Aircrafts. Our Mi24/25p look sophisticated but I doubt if they're also equipped with ECM.

Bokoharam operates manpads that can easily be confused by deploying flares.

[s]A 2nd Class lower in Nigeria will bag 1st class in a foreign university.[/s]

Blatant rubbish.

Does the air-force support troops on battlefield? Most stories about NAF includes going on offensive then the ground troops will come in. The only time I heard about the NAF supporting the troops was when BHT tried to take over maiduguri.
This is why the Nigerian Army needs to have her own air assault arm.
