Politics › Re: Would Buhari Have Tackled Boko Haram More Effectively. by texazzpete(m): 9:49pm On Dec 27, 2011 |
dmainboss: The level of ignorance in here is very sad. Boko Aram as it stands right now is an extension of Al Qaeda. If very tyranic Islamic leaders in the mideast cant curb terrorism, what makes you think Buhari or anyone will.
You need to understand what is going on to comment. Saying that Boko Aram is happening because GEJ is weak is a very poor understanding of the situation. Please Google up and read about how terrorist cells work. I was a grown up when Buhari was president. Maitasini and the old Boko Aram were known groups with recognition. This new Boko Aram is a typical terrorist group that have received training from Al qaeda. This has been confirmed by both the Boko Aram guys and CIA. They dont have a face and have no real location.
When you go for a hit as a suicide bomber, you may not even know who your real boss is or you may never have met him. There is a hierarchy. The only way to curb and reduce terrorist activities is by the involvement of the society where it exists. That is why terrorism has reduced in many western nations. Because when the whole community becomes a watch dog, then it becomes very difficult for the terrorists to strike. That is why it is difficult for Boko Aram to operate in the south. I am not saying it is impossible, just saying it is more difficult. But in the north, they have the sympathy of the society. So no one will provide information. Some of you are very quick to attack our security forces but you forget that even security forces of western nations are only as good as the participation of the community were they operate. If you dont get the cooperation of the community, no matter how sophisticated you are, you cannot fight crime. That is why it is very difficult for US police departments to fight crime in Latino and black communities. Because these are closed communities where the people dont cooperate with the police and do have sympathy for the criminals.
Buhari being the president would have done no better except if the BOko Aram feel in some way that he protects their interest. These guys are not normal thinking people.
Let me ask: Do you really think a guy who is ready to do suicide bombing will fear someone called Buhari or any other person? lol
Funny question with obvious answers:
1. They have been building for over 10 years, since sept 11 2001. It takes time and money to build terrorist cells 2. Terrorists dont ship arms through ports. Arms dealers do that but terrorists dont do that. It will expose them too much 3. It was a good time to strike having built the base over the years. It was also a good alibi to get the support/sympathy of the nothern society. If they dont get sympathy from the northern society, they wont last. So you're saying the strength and will of the leader does not matter since we're dealing with 'unnatural human beings' abi? Oya, go and find out how many terrorist attacks have taken place on US soil since 9/11. Go and find out how many top Al Qaeda men have been killed on Obama's orders. Obama had the willpower to order the assassination of Bin laden in foreign territory. He ordered the death of a US Citizen (Al Awlaki) in Yemen. Terrorists are fearsome, true, but a strong leader with the right amount of brainpower can do much to defeat it. Sadly, In Nigeria we see GEJ grab a microphone and tell us that "This bombing is uncalled for" |

Look no further than yourselves if you want to allocate blame
1) You clowns voted in the same incompetent party that has misruled this country since 1999, despite concrete proof that GEJ and the PDP had nothing new to offer
2) Even worse, most of you were brainless enough to fall for the SSS arrest of the so-called 'boko Haram spokesman'. We had concrete evidence of suicide bombing and islamic fundamentalism and yet everyone went to sleep when the SSS paraded a few miscreants who specialized in sending SMS messages to local politicians. |
Politics › Re: Gov. Fashola Made A Laughing Stock Of Lagos In Canada by texazzpete(m): 3:29pm On Dec 25, 2011 |
Eko Ile:
Used and refurbished are 2 different things
Refurbished means updated to perform like New.
The only issue here is the fact that people are as usual very ignorant and are running their mouth about what they know nothing about.
These are the facts,
1. The company handling the project sourced the trains from Canada and Fashola went to Canada to make sure the Company is bringing in good and safe trains to Lagos and after seeing the trains and in what shape they'll be before getting shipped to Lagos, he gave the go ahead.
2. There is a huge difference between used and refurbished.
3. These are refurbished trains retrofitted to function like new trains with even better modifications than when they were new off the plant.
We are looking at almost new and better trains by the time they get to Lagos. Even better than when they were first built.
I don't know why it's so hard for many of you to stop being intellectually lazy, do a little digging at least to educate yourself and don't stop with just the need to do the usual pointless and uneducated criticism routine.
There's got to be other good qualities in you people other than the same uneducated ramblings like goats. I have no idea why you're talking about 'refurbished' here. The article in the Toronto news states clearly that the Toronto Transport Company is not making any effort to refurbish these cars. They will be sold 'as is' to Eko Rail. [quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=831960.msg9830299#msg9830299 date=1324771568]At those who are suggesting the purchase of new cars. Wouldn't this raise the price of fare on the train beyond that of your typical Lagosian? It simply is unrealistic to suggest this.[/quote]Why is the assumption there that the project must make back the sunk capital as soon as possible? Why must the prices soar if new cars were purchased? Considering the population of Lagos State, it is very likely that these cars will experience greater stress in their operations here. So why purchase train cars that will require much more maintenance and have much shorter lifespan than new cars? |

LeoMax: @ I have realised that only the poor people hate BB. I have bought about 10 BBs in 2011 and I always go for the latest releases. The truth is, those who detest BB are those who cant afford to pay them monthly subscriptions. Poor fellas !!! Daft argument. I've hated Blackberry phones even though I'm forced to use one. Until the recent release of the OS7 devices, all blackberry phones were slow, buggy, crappy devices with a clumsy and ugly UI and pitiful app selection. I won't even mention the small, low-res screens. I have a BB and an iPhone 4 and that to me is a pretty good combination. All Blackberry users who can afford it should get a decent Android, iOS or WP7 device on the side. |

Right now, to me ga.y SHOULD NOT even been allowed to start in a private room because even fire starts in a private room before bringing down the whole house. This is why ignorance kills people. Homosexuality has been observed in almost 1500 animal species in the wild. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexual_behavior_in_animalsThe article goes on to say this "About 10% of rams (males) refuse to mate with ewes (females) but do readily mate with other rams." |

This just highlights the hypocrisy in many of my fellow Christians today.
You shout out on the rooftops that 'SALVATION IS PERSONAL!!!' yet you want to jail another man who does nothing that can actually hurt you, just because he does not share your religious convictions?!
PS: For all those monkeys with short memories who usually deride opponents of the bill as 'gays' and 'gay lovers', remember when people were being called 'nigger-lover' in America when they fought to abolish slavery? |

Technology Market › Re: Where To Buy Hp Touchpad by texazzpete(m): 11:27pm On Dec 22, 2011 |
jenti: Thanks Will check d specs of both suggestions on d web or is there anyone in d house who has gud idea abour d samsung slate or the acer option. By d way, do you have these products and how much do they go for. Text me d details & your contact [size=8pt][/size] I don't sell these but I'm just recommending based on my knowledge. The Samsung series 7 slate is more expensive than the Hp slate or the Acer iconia W500 because it's got more powerful hardware. We're talking about 4GB RAM, 64 or 128 GB SSD, Intel HD 3000 GPU and a Core i5 processor. When revealing Windows 8 to the press, Microsoft ran it on this same Samsung tablet. Ran pretty fast. Only downside is the cost. The 64GB version is around $1049 on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005OUQ9JC/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B005OUQ9WO&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1Q370YBAXRHQSS6QKFC4The Acer iconia Tab w500 will also be compatible with Win 8, it just has poorer specs when compared to the samsung. |
Technology Market › Re: Where To Buy Hp Touchpad by texazzpete(m): 7:41pm On Dec 22, 2011 |
jenti: Cost is not d issue. I can afford it without stress by Gods grace. Howeva, i work for d money , so your cost must b competitive. Im not desperate for it. I nd it fo to enhance my job. Im a rgstd engineer. If u have it send a text to me and the amount Why would you want to buy a Hp Slate when it isn't going to be compatible with the upcoming Windows 8? The Slate's resolution (1024 x 600) is too low to take advantage of Windows 8's metro interface which needs a higher res as a minimum. Buy a Samsung Series 7 slate instead. It's Win 8 compatible and vastly more powerful than the Slate. Core i5 vs Intel Atom  PS: I'm not trying to sell anything to you, just handing out advice. Alternately you could get the Acer iconia Tab W500. Same price as the HP Slate, comes with a keyboard dock and will run WIndows 8 Metro. |
Travel › Re: Nigerian Company Selling Kerosene To Airlines As Jet Fuel! by texazzpete(m): 4:51pm On Dec 22, 2011 |
Beaf: Precisely!
I wonder why people rush to scream so loudly? Especially when they have little knowledge and are not bothered to do a little research? It is quite embarrassing considering that a forum like NL is frequented by foreigners from areas across the Globe. There needs to be some sort of check on this sort of behaviour that is almost like an animal instinct.
Aviation fuel is basically kerosene and as stagger pointed out earlier, DPK can be used as aviation fuel. There were TWO issues raised by Sahara Reporters 1) Potential hazard of using Kerosene as aviation fuel 2) Massive scam in reselling subsidized Kerosene to the likes of Arik et al for N140. The first point has been proven to be not the doomsday scenario Sahara Reporters envisioned, but the second one is also an extremely serious allegation that you should not be in a hurry to dismiss out of hand. |
