luluosas:
Oil is no longer the real deal, it is now agriculture and infrastructural development, that is the direction this government is seen going. No worries, Nigeria will not experience the Venezuela theory, but will outshine its predicted woes by those not in support of the present government in place. We shall overcome
I am also optimistic about the economic future under the Buhari government. The financial hemorrhaging has been reduced (not stopped). Infrastructural development is slowly picking up and we are likely to have a more friendly national assembly in the next 4 years

We are way off from the Venezuela model. I don't see Atiku and the political elite destroying our social and economic environment because of the questions for power. They have too much at stake.

This Aunty Ese issue, i dont know why bringing up this issue again. Some many events after this, like you getting married to Benny Ark, having a baby so i would have thought you have healed in this a whole time, apparently no. Please learn to heal even if the word sorry is not comikg forth. He has since moved on but that does not justify hes actions. I want to appeal to you to keep moving on as many wud think maybe u brought this issue up cos u are divorced. Heal urself and be free. I wish you well
It's not that easy to move on after being abused emotionally and spiritually by someone you hold in high degree of trust. The shame, guilt and confusion is killing.Lots of people go on to commit suicide or become disfunctional.

She needs counselling, support and understanding, not to further exasperate her problems by vilifying her or blaming her.
In Nigeria people are afraid of power and authority, and so always justified by the people in a their crimes.

richidinho:
Bros save your energy please, those guys up there are kids waiting for their jamb test
Obviously, you have nothing tangible to say.

If I should tell you the year I did JAMB and my scores, you cannot not measure up on any level.

Ojoji:
You are too emotional. Were these corporations working effectively before privatization? Government only paid workers and other expenses without meaningful return every year, so now government has partially solved the problem hoping that these new investors would manage them as profit oriented company.
My brother, it's not a matter of emotions, it's a matter of history. We have had terrible experience of privatisation in the past, especially under the government of Obasanjo/Atiku.

A few examples are NITEL, ANAMMCO, Daily Times, NICON Hotels, NICON Insurance, Delta Steel Company, Ajaokuta Steel Company, NEPA, NIPOST, NigerDock and many more. The privatisations at best did not lead to improved services, at worst it was a scam.

Now NNPC is a different ball game. Do you know the number of subsidiaries under NNPC? Ordinary the four refinery subsidiaries that was shabbily done by the Obasanjo/Atiku regime was immediately reversed by Yaradua, and you are now talking about the selling of the whole of NNPC. So you want private companies to market and sell Nigeria's crude for us?

Please give me an example of any country in the world that had privatised it's national oil company.

The joy of a few is the pain of multitude.

Nnpc must be sold for Nigeria to have a functional refinery.
NNPC is not a refinery or refineries.

Dangote is building the largest single refinery in the world in lagos, and it is expected to be functional by the end of next year. It has little with NNPC,except licensing and regulations.

If you do not know the functions of NNPC, check their website.
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)
The NNPC is vested with the exclusive responsibility for upstream and downstream development, which entails exploiting, refining, and marketing Nigeria’s crude oil. The NNPC through the NAPIMS supervises and manage government investment in the Oil and Gas Industry. Since its inception, the NNPC and its subsidiaries have undergone strategic restructuring, which have kept it abreast of opportunities in local and international spheres. NNPCs oil and gas operations are undertaken both in upstream and downstream operations.

QDubz:
Do you know there is a land mine that uses laser sensors covering miles in the use army?. Walking Tru it web of lasers several miles out would triger it mine to launch projectiles at the point of detection? Maiming or killing victims.
And the reaper drones jammed by iran was operated by what?
Guy chill dat whole area would be covered by awacs and other assets complementing each other.
Landmines are laid on land and are triggered when you walk through it, drones fly in the air and avoid Landmines.

How will a jammer jam a manual hand operated drone?

As I said, jammers will not be practical along a 2000 mile length of wall.

Drones are similar to a helicopters, while helicopters uses 2 blades and are usually driven by fuel engines, drones has multiple blades and are driven with battery power.


Here is another drone used to lift persons to higher altitudes.

it may not be difficult to build but know that the wall trump is building could have anti drone guns.

Drones this size cannot lift a human.
Anti drone guns along a 2000 mile border?

This drone was actually lifting a human and there are lots of Drones on youtube with humans in it.

The main problem with these types of Drones is that Drone manufacturers are forbidden from building it. If you want one you have to build it yourself, and that takes quite some expertise and money.

QDubz:
There'd also be motion sensors, jammers and radar covering the entire perimeter.
But a tunnel cld still be dug under.
not feasible.
It's impossible to put motion sensors on the over 2000 miles wall that would cover the whole Mexican border.

Radar do not work on ground level or very low altitudes. Planes bypass radar by flying very low.

What's the use of jammers in stopping human operated drones, besides, you can install jammers on the entire length of the wall

I did not realise the above video is a hoax as I did not read the YouTube comments.
The concept is highly feasible though. A drone that can lift men high into the air is not very difficult to build.

In this era of cheap drones, president Trump and his Maga thinks a simple wall will keep intruders and drugs out of US side of the border. So lesson China learnt more than 1,500 years ago.

Here is a drone that can carry people, drugs and guns across a wall in seconds.

johnydon22:
Based on the belief that distinguishes the subject from others, the subject being "Human life"


1. Human life is special
2. Killing human life means violation of this sacredness
Although I have not had enough time to go through all your posts and the thread in general, from what I can gleam, you seem to suggest that theists have an objective basis for morality, which is their God. As a result all morality emanates from the wishes, instructions, commands of their God.
The problem with this argument is that the wishes and commands of these God's are most times discriminatory, contradictory vague and inconsistent in nature.
Take the rape example, according to all religions (including Judaism ), raping an adherent is morally wrong, but raping non believers is not even considered immoral. There are examples in the bible where Jews were instructed to rape virgins in conquered territories.

Same with with killing. Killing members of the same religion or sect is amoral, but killing apostates or unbelievers is even viewed as a moral duty.
This was the attitude the Christians took to the Americas to murder most unbelievers and is the same attitude Muslims have today in Northern Nigeria, Syria, Afghanistan.
Politics › Re: If You Hate Igbos, Yorubas Or Hausas Why Not Work Towards Your Own Country? by wirinet(m): 3:03pm On Mar 03, 2019
VaselineCrew:
It's very simple, I don't know why we like to complicate things.

If you really want your own mostly homogenous country, then why not work towards
If you are talking of a mostly homogeneous country, then you should be talking of over 200 countries. In Delta state alone you should be talking of at least 4 countries.

We could still have Oduduwa, Arewa and Biafra as 3 beautiful nations in the future.
You think Arewa and Biafra can remain independent nations for long? Many of the hundreds of tribes in the north will start jostling for independence from the Fulanis once Arewa is created. Same thing with Biafra, the Aniomas, Ikwerres, the Ijaws, the calabaris, and others will be fighting to free themselves from igbo dominanation ( remember Adaka Boro )
Maybe the Yorubas can form a viable nation as they had been under one political unit under the oyo empire.

So there is really no need for violence, just put pressure on reps and let's get a national conference going.
That advice should go to IPOB. They should pass through state and national assembly, instead of threats, protests and sit at home.

He did the right thing. He can then write a report to INEC commissioner detailing his experience and at the same time wrote a petition to the commissioner of police or IG of threats to his life

SouthEastFacts:
The problem with yorubas are perenial, always trying to benchmark ndi Igbo into their madness.

National election turn out is around 30%, SE turn-out was 30% while SW was 17%.

SE gave over 85% of their votes to Atiku while SW contributed only 7.5% to Buhari's margin.

Anyway, INEC tried for Buhari. We wish them goodluck.
You don't seem to understand how and why people vote in elections. It is the party that is aggrieved that participates more in elections than those that are satisfied with the status quo. Igbos are highly aggrieved with Buharis government and his no love lost relationship with the Igbos, while Atiku is showing love to the Igbos. Reason dictates that Igbos would troop to the polls to cast and defend their votes, while yorubas who are somehow please with Buhari will show aparty.
Imagine if 50% of Igbos came out to vote and give Atiku even 70% of their votes.

Forget Orji Kalu and Rochas, if 50% of the over 2 million registered voters actually voted in Imo, the number of votes diverted by them would not have mattered much.
What helped them is voter a aparty and voter suppression.
Politics › Re: How The South East And South South Failed Atiku by wirinet(m): 8:20am On Feb 27, 2019
SS/SE did not fail Atiku. Hoe can you say SS/SE failed atiku when he won all SS/SE states. It is only in rigged elections (like those in Yobe and Burno) you will see one candidate win with over 90%. In any normal elections the difference between opponents is usually not more than 30%. That is why I say that apart from voter suppression in Lagos, the figures in the south west represent the actual wishes of the people.

It was the Igbos that failed Atiku, they simply did not come out and vote. The figures from Abia, Imo, Ebonyi are appalling. There was so much voter aparty on south east states.
The better Igbos realise their votes is their real strength and their ace for negotiating with Nigeria the better for them.
Politics › Re: Yakubu Mohamod Is Worse Than Maurice Iwu. by wirinet(m): 7:59am On Feb 27, 2019
No election in the world is worse than Iwu's 2007 elections. An election conducted without serial numbers, and election where two elections was conducted at the same time, same place and same ballot boxes, but one was cancelled after voting due to violence and the other was valid. This happened in Imo (Iwu's own state.)

Agreed this election was rigged in Yobe, Burno, and Manipulated I Lagos. This was the same scenario in 2015, only difference was that rigging was curtailed in PDP areas like Rivers, Bayelsa and Delta.

Rigging had always been part of Nigeria's election culture and be best rigger always win.

We need to demand for true electronic voting and monitoring to eliminate or at least reduce rigging.
