bisiaet:
Please I sincerely agreed with all what you quoted above everything is wrong in Nigeria fine well said but the only thing you said that is not very clear enought to me is this:

Tell me the only country in the world where thousands of morons are urging an incompetent leader to declare his interest to contest the presidency to continue his dismal ruling
ANSWER: NIGERIA

Please what do you mean by inexperience and please who are those experienced ones you would suggest or you would like to see is it IBB or Atiku? because you did mention all faults fine all are truth but do you mention a leader who was regarded in the whole wide world as one of the most corrupt leader and one of the most corrupt Genearl ever in the history of the world not only Nigeria? Now  this same man is coming to rule us again who should be standing trial by now or even be in prison pls don take this personal am just opening your mind into this please take a littltle check and balance it may be it is better to go with a man who is a lair, corrupt, a ruiner who satan send to ruined Nigeria, a serious game player maradona who never in his life known to be straight forward or someone you called inexperience and he is delevering the very best he can please which do you prefer? pls I plead dont take this personal if tis may anrage you or angers you I sincerely apologise I never mean to attack you at all but just getting a point straight and clear to you may be you did not see it in that perspective.

Quote from Beaf

Dude everything you said above (apart from the large type) is 100% wrong.
I wonder why you think the list of generals is irrelevant, especially after you claimed the Dambazau is the only general affected? Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked

Yes Danbazzau is the only one affected as he is the only person is the army that the president can sack

@ Chyz
No body can sack a military officer just like that the military is not like a private company to the president that he can sack just like that


@Beaf and @Chyz
Other military officers xcluding the service chiefs can not be sacked rather they can be "dismissed" and only if they go against the rules

Beaf:
The President sack any govt servant outside of the elected arms of govt.

Dambazau is not the only general, Major General Ihejirika is a general too, Dambazau has more stars and thats it. These other dudes are generals too (I believe Major General Ihejirika was promoted later than them);
Maj-General SU Abdulkadir,
Maj-General AM Jibril,
Maj-General Sarkin Yakin Bello,
Maj-General AU Dambatta.
Maj-General Bala Usara,
Maj-General BM. Mongunu,
Maj-General BB Adingih,
Maj-General AK Amao,
Maj-General BC Azurumwa,
Maj-General Essien Bassey,
Maj-General CE Airhiavbere,
Brigadier-General Dejection Badewole,
Brigadier-General OO Oshinowo,
Brigadier General Sylvester Audu,
Lieutenant General Abdulrahman Bello Dambazau <-- note that he isnt a full general
etc etc

I dont think so ask around in the military circles
P.S that list of generals above is irrelevant to our discussion , dont you think so?
I said he cant sack a military officer if not the service chiefs not even a sarge  

Why didnt you say that your slogan "IBB people = Foolosh people" ? this time ----which would soon change

While I agree with you that the appointments were out of political expediency, I do not see your point in demonizing GEJ. I would rather settle for GEJ than risk the possibility of another IBB and Atiku.
And pls stop complaining, this is politics, the game is not fair not even the US with all their claims of democracy. We all witnessed in 2000 Bush vs Al Gore it was not fair but damn it Bush became president. What do you expect GEJ to do with the likes of IBB in the picture who is ready to do anything to oust him out of Aso rock. The rules of the game is: 'You either shape up or ship out' there is no Mr nice guy here, everyone is playing dirty both the accuse and the accuser, so 4ck the rules.

I was also not weary of the ppl that comprises our Forces until Dambazua and his cohorts pulled a fast one on us and undermined their boss's authority and sent a whole 300 soldiers to recieve a comatose YARADUA. For what na? Was he in any serious security danger? Were they trying to rescue him from the enemies in a combat? What exactly was the purpose of secretly releasing a war chest like that if not to serve as a gesture to pass a message of who was in control and yet you think I was demonizing the force. Guy you need to check history again abeg.
GEJ understands the risk of letting those men hang around the force, in the hand of the wrong ppl, those men will do anything. All you need to do is appeal to their taste citing numbers and place of origin and you will see them do the unthinkable that are better imagined than experienced.

OMG the Guards Batallion is indepent from the the Chief Of Army Staff danbazzau has/dont have any authority over it so the commander can deploy soldiers under his command without danbazzau s knowledge please visit any military barracks to confirm this i did actually

But people he Ought to Sack the former Chief Of defence staff paul dike not actually sack hehe as his attained his 35th year in service Lst June he was supposed to be replaced since

And sacking them is not going to bring jonathan back come may 29 2011

And one of the best news of this week is that the stu.pid incompetent bas.tard called onovo was sacked, i can only hope he get arrested and jailed

But what is MOST important is ringim not the service chiefs nigetria is not in a period of war but in a period of insecurity very alarming and disturbing and rather embarassing so from killing an innocent citizen over N20 or killing a senior policeman (sergeant) over N50 naia or the kidnapping or the useless billion naira roadblock industries on the highway to governors using policemen to harass journalist/innocent civilians to the killing of innocent people during the boko haram crisis
What we need at the moment is the best perofrmance of Ringim one can only hope that he writes his name in gold as he is even instrumental in free and fair elections
God Help Ringim,Rigim help us PLEASE

First off some Euro countries dont need permanant jets. Some are too small or have economic probs in the east or are part of allainces such as NATO, CIS or even the EU (has some military jurisdiction for euro countries to protect euro countries). Not to mention Europe has no real threats from military.
Secound, 100 PAK planes are not 1 billion.
If you look at wiki for a general sum (never going to be accurate) then 10 PAK's would make 1 billion. That would not include maintainence and training which would triple that probebly.
Third,Becoming part of the top 20 (which I seriously doubt by 2020) means showing responsibility. Try getting into the top 30 GDP per capita countries before you think you have money to throw around. In other terms feed your people. Buying an air-craft carrier is NOT reponsible at your current economic situation!!!
Finally the Cameroon will not attack you militarily to get the places it desires. It will use the same methods it did to get the first. Peacefully, so tell me a real threat that is on Nigeria's door-step,

PS: Uganda is not getting those planes. The reports appear to be false. They have claimed that they are sending Mig's back to Russia for overhaul. If they were true though, they would be laughed at and treated as a disgrace. To put so much funds (approx 1.6 bill) to pay for those planes when Uganda is struggling to feed it's kids as well, would tarnish their reputation and basically they would be an epic fail. Do you want Nigeria to look like some gun loving piss house? Not even your Military leader back in the 20th centuary did that.

Oops my bad yeah 100 pak fas are not $1 billion
And we are actually ARE going to be in top 20 by 2020
Nigeria dont any threat as of now but as we grow as a nation we get more threats
And about the ugandas it was said russians confirmed the orders os the flankers
Even thought we may not have an any threat we ought to have good hardware to serve as a deterrent

Beaf:
The most important part of the sacking of service chiefs and the appointment of a relatively low ranking officer, is that all lt generals and above must now retire.
. . .That includes all the fcking JTF mudafcking generals.
No more bombing civilians.

you said "all lt generals and above must now retire" well the army since 2009 (after azazi) didnt have a General
And there is only lt general that is the Danbazzau he is still a lt general till he pulls out and the army chief gets promoted

And you said Must retire there isnt like i said but i hope you are aware that the president,commander in chief and the chairman of the newly formed armed forces council DOES NOT have the power to sack any military officer except the service chiefs he cant sack even a sergeant like when azazi was the unimaid commander after being the defence chief can not be scaked by jonathan or any other president he left cause he got to either 60 years or 35 yrs in service

lordangers:
Lol you want Typhoon's? Why? It's kind of a kick in the teeth to have people asking for aid then their governments spending millions on some jet fighters that bear no reality of the threats facing Nigeria now. You then want the PAK-FA?! I'm going to throw up with these sort of comments. 5th generation!!! You getting that? 5TH GERNERATION = BILLIONS!!! My god! Someone really needs to take a look at the world with a more serious view. Now I could have said a lot more poo then that about your thoughts but something tells me it's not going to get through to you. Remind me again why you need an aircraft carrier?
Heres what, you can give away all your money, everything you own, go live on the street and be the first to declare you gave your money to a "good cause" (the military stuff). Then say whether you are so eager for weapons. Give me one example of a formiddiable enemy operating anywhere near Nigeria? Or even one that has 4th generation+ fighter craft in west Africa (Excluding Algeria/Morroco who would not be able to project their forces to Nigeria)?

Anyway, anyone got any more pics to cheer me up

Okay yeah infact let the government not buy typhoons they are expensive if we can lease Flankers it would be better some europeans countries dont have a single fighter jet of theirs or some lease jets
Even buying any fighter jet not 5th gen is kinda a waste of money (not exactly if its on an aircraft carrier)
Let us just buy 100 PAK-FA for $1billion common seems like a little money to Nigeria
IF we are to join the 20 topmost ecocomies by 2020 ( to me seems achievable) we need a formidable military with PAK FA it is a good investment as they only jet matchable to is is the Raptor not even the JSF is better than it (from what iv read from 20 different websites )
With that no country can talk shit to nigetia knowing 100 stealt aircraft in its inventory, just as we now they said camerooun wants obudu right ,
PS we need to invade and collect bakassi back.nigeria as a great country needs to be military strong even uganda wants 6 flankers as useless as they are to do what ?
And part of having a good military we need an aircraft carrier

I first stated no comment, but now I have to say something about Beaf.

Now I am happy that I am not the only one who noticed the hypocrisy coming from Beaf.

Aisha why is this is the politics section?
Is it related to it?
You are the OP and the Moderator and that DOESN'T mean that you can choose to disobey the rules because clearly this isn't related to politics
As a moderator you suppose to lead by example now if anyone post something that isn't related to politics you move it to the relevant section i've fallen victim of this before
If our "leaders" (moderator as our leaders) obey by the rules Nigeria wouldn't be in this state now we would have been s. better
So please obey the rules next time
Thats why i said Moderators should be Elected not Selected --same thing should happen to Nigeria

And to people who MAY criticize me on this : You know am saying what is right isnt it

I would check back on Friday and if you didn't get your remaining 14 people i would try and contribute

Ranoscky:
So many foreigners dat have not been in nigeria before r scared to com to Nigeria b'cos of d negative things dey do hia about nigerians. I met a guy inside an Elevator about 5days ago, n he asked me "where r u from?", n i replied "I'm an african" (expectin him to ask me what country in africa, so i'll reply to him nigeria) Do u know d next thing he said to me? He said he dosen't lyk "South Africa". I asked him y? n he replied dat south africa is a very dangerous place to be. dat he has lyved in Cape town for years (He's a contractor). Dat d south african men r so lazy to work, all dey do is robbery! So i quickly told him dat i'm a FLYGERIAN O, Dat im not from south africa. N he asked "oh really?" N i rplied n said "ya! Full blooded FLYGERIAN!" So he said he has also been to nigeria before, dat nigeria is far better dan south africa in terms of crime rate, buh wen HE was about to com to nigeria, he was scared of all d negative tins he has been hearin about nigeria, (Robbery, kidnappin, etc) buh after livin in nigeria for 9 months, d only thin he complained to me about nigeria was dat same problem we'r havin (Electricity n bad roads) buh other negative thins dat he heard about nigeria, he never witnessed any. He even said he wished to visit nigeria agin wen he's on vacation.

So many foreigners who come to Nigeria say the same thing.Iv read many interviews of foreigners saying the same thing you mentioned above

You are a bad citizen
I feel like slapping you
Though we are a slagging nation be a patriot and support your country
You need to see some americans and turks how they love their country sadly this is not the case in nigeria
As for me i always say positive thing about nigeria and even show they some nice projects
Well you can complain and think we are a bad nation why not come back to nigeria if you aren't here already and try make a change
Remember Its what you can do for your country not what it can do for you

If i was stuck in such traffic, I will calmly look for a very safe spot on the road, park my car and board a bike home and if there is no bike, i will walk home.


Before man ever invented the automobile, men use their legs-mobile.

Like someone said his thought exactly now you would not be the only person thinking about this it would be many of you
So imagine,if you do so and you leave the car it would further compound the traffic jam as even though it move even slightly your car would still be there

So it is not good to do this if you are a patriot and a good citizen

Okay maybe it is redesigned to be in line with our 50th anniversary celebration
And also, the non circulating coins of 50
I wish i get the coins though

offtopic, now u are missing it - those 1 billion a month bastards are the ones who caused the accident in the first place

Oh am not commending the police it is an indirect condemnation

Sky Blue:
If you are going to argue can you at least try and be cohherrent at least. The article is not focusing on generation but transmission, so why express shock that it actually talks about power transmission projects and not power generation projects? Also, if we magically get 10,000MW tomorrow, do you think you will see improved light? The grid at the moment is not even distributing the measly power we generate at full capacity and is also grossly inefficient, so what are you talking about please? Must we always criticise just for the sake of it?

Yes i know that the current grid cant transmit the 7000MW am saying that do we even have the 7000MW
And the article said the super grid would bring about/generate the 7000MW
Please re-read my initial post

GAR3TH:
I dont think its the escalator that is the problem, I think its the people that dont know how to properly use them

Me too Exactly

But i damn hope we would be getting the 7000MW by april

ational Super Grid to boost Nigeria's electricity generation to about 7000 megawatts (MW) by April 2011 is good news.

Well i never knew the meaning of the "super grid" untill now and it means that from nowhere 7000 would arrive "super" magically i didnt see any promise of building a new power plant in the article above

It has been estimated that it will increase power generation to 6939 MW by April 2011 and 14019 by December 2013.

Again,where are we getting this power from to be honest i dont see how this super grid would generate power

The new Grid is expected to increase the nation's capacity to transmit power across vast distances, which the existing 330/132 KV Grid cannot do

That is what  the grid is gonna go not generate it would transmit and i didnt see any generating 7000MW

Nigerians are tired of failed promises and gargantuan expenditure in the power sector. We want to see electricity in our houses and factories and not on the pages of newspapers

I have nothing else to say again

odumchi:
There is no Question about the bravery of our troops but I have a question. When will we begin to use modern equipment. The only modern thing I saw in these pictures are our artillery trucks other than that everything is outdated. Even our planes MiGs are planes of the past and we need new fighter planes and bombers. If we maintained close relations with the U.S. maybe we could get some F16s.

We need modern cruisers, heavy tanks, if we had enough money we could have bought an aircraft carrier. Im tired of seeing MiG 21s everywhere (MiG21s are over 40 years old).
Body armorf will also save hundreds of thousands of lives and by looking at this picture i see nothing like that.
Another thing I dislike seeing is our troops packing themselves and riding in pickup trucks that are loaded to the limit. You will never see professional armies like that of Britain or the Untied States doing that. Other than that Good Luck army  

It would be best if we buy 12 Eurofighter Typhoon (or more ) though Very Expensive it is just behind the raptor at the moment and slightly better than the fulcrum or flanker
Then we place an order for PAK-FA when the russians are done building it and we give the typhoons to the navy and out it on an aircraft carrier , F-16, is being replaced with the JSF, but we have to make sure we get the PAK-FA as the JSF is below it

I think BRF made a great mistake here.

Me too,she should have said something at least offer some condolences
And thanx to our police for saving lives

This project gladdens my heart and indeed lifts up my spirit. I look at the rail line everyday to and from work. I see the CCECC working on the rails from Oshodi to Agege where I pass through daily.

I know they have replaced some rails (saw them packing the old ones some weeks back), poured gravels on the line and are currently demarcating the area with wire-mersh fence.

Saw the 1970 GE C25 locomotive old school engine imported by NRC and wonder why FG cannot even try to do us proud for once.

I trust Gov Fashola can never agree to give Lagosian such ugly old school beast; to imagine the idiots posing happily in front of their retrogressive solution obviously praising themselves of their silly achievement.

Who says Nigerians do not deserve the finest, strongest and most modern rail system like the west, after-all our president is getting himself one of the latest jets in the world.

GOD bless Gov Fashola for his love to his people. I support this project any time.

Good,please we need pictures since you pass through everyday endeavor to snap good pictures we haven't got any pictures of this project yet
We'll be waiting,Thanks
