Did you watch the WC Finals? Houston vs GSW? Officials do favor the Warriors. Every fan wants to see the Curry 3pt show. Imagine the Warriors aren't in the finals...revenue DOWN SOUTH.
I’d rather watch Donovan Mitchel’s energized plays than Steph’s annoying 3s and excessive shimmies afterwards.

Ignore the fair weather GSW fans. Multiple wrong calls in the rockets series, Curry practically running into players and getting free throws for that. Zaza Pachuilia landing on key opposition players during the regular season, clear Flagrant fouls in the rockets series, could limp to a win because CP3 was injured.

They’ll know what’s up down the years, when the matchup becomes less lopsided. 76ers, Celtics, Pelicans, Rockets are keenly watching and GSW has given everyone the blueprint to get the title. Same way they became arsenal fans when the gunners had Henry and the invincibles but now regretting when that era is gone.

Follygunners:
You're wrong abt the bolded. The Warriors won on merit. They're the best team in the league. Simple
Funny how no one mentioned the reversed call in game 1, the multiple ignored fouls in game 2. You lots should be ashamed of yourselves, struggles to beat LBJ in game one even with 3 of the Hamptons 4 on the court.

Let’s talk about who’s king when LBJ moves to 76ers/Celtics/Rockets. Till then, enjoy your 15 minutes of fame.

I’m still curious about why majority of Arsenal fans are now rooting for GSW?

I give it to einstein. His deserve it becos it is a constant in his formular. But for pythagoras he can use X,Y,&Z
x,y, z is not the Greek alphabetical system.
There’s no “Y” in the Greek letters.
Xi, and Zeta are not in an immediate sequence



About the choice of letter C,

Work done on an object by a constant force where displacement is at same direction is called Kinetic Energy.

The C might have come from the word constant force

The full expression is:

It seems Nigeria is also buying Helicopters from the US. The story about excess AH-1 Super Cobra could be true.

President Trump just confirmed the US will be selling helicopters to Nigeria and they will be delivered soon.

Maybe he is mistaking it for the Tucano, but who knows?

Potential AH-1 Super Cobra sale to Nigeria.
Longshot, what about congressional approval?

UKmigrant:
Tomorrow, I'll be going to FRSC office to make enquiries about how I can speedily process my international drivers licence. I learnt that one could use it to drive in the UK in the first year of arrival. At least I'll have one year to practice driving on their roads before going for their ''not easy to pass'' driving tests. I currently still have a valid Nigerian driver's licence expiring next month. I hope I won't need to renew it first before my international driving permit can be valid.

Anyone with an idea of the requirements for obtaining an international driver's licence in Nigeria and how the whole driving thing works in the UK? Do I still need to register with DVLA first before I can use it?
Don’t make the mistake of driving with the international driver’s licence, the bad habits from Naij would continue and it might affect you when you want to switch. Don’t make the mistake of going for the driving test without going through a driving lesson (at least 5 lessons). Best bet is to start from scratch, get a provisional licence and get a good instructor. It’s not as difficult as people like to make it look.

Forum GamesRe: Is This Murder Or Suicide by xwolverine: 9:19am On Dec 07, 2017
I think its a murder scene.

The set up of his desk, the drawers are on the left which meant the man is left handed.

Hence my question as to how the gun ended on the right side?


Drabeey:
this isn't a suicide... it's a pure murder

look closely to the floor under the chair, you'll see a gun.
it's impossible for him to have shot himself on the head yet the gun dropped to the ground.
if you look closely, the table is too close for the gun to have fallen to the ground. it should have fell on the table if this were to be a suicide.

my take is also that there was a scuffle between the murderer and the victim. see the wall to the right, that was exactly where the murderer killed him by using the bottle on his neck and that was what killed him ( look at his neck) , he was later positioned on that chair and made him look like he committed suicide.

come to think of it, who would commit suicide and yet sit so relaxed.... the way he sat, his body had been dead before he was positioned on the chair.


what I'm yet to unravel is if the killer escaped through that window or is still in the building....

LET SOMEONE EXPLAIN THAT.


Drabeey was HERE



modified:

This a suicide,
1. He committed suicide after he had a bad day with the stock exchange. look at the TV, it shows that he was expecting something big and the forex was kind of fluctuating, thereby making him throw many things at the TV at first ( look closely at the ground close to the TV, many things that are supposed to be on the table are there) it's just like when you are watching a match and your player lost a crucial goal, you throw your pillow at the TV.

The final strike was when the stock finally collapsed, he used his leg to push the chair in front down and threw the bottle of alcohol on the wall, making it shatter on the wall, he opened the window only to allow ventilation for him ( the ac might just be too hot as he has much tension on him) .
He later shot himself and it was the gunshot that the guy outside heard that made him run.

I think I like to conclude that, it was a suicide.
PoliticsFinally Robert Mugabe Resigns After 37 Years As Zimbabwe's Leader by xwolverine(op): 5:05pm On Nov 21, 2017
https://cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/171116095549-33-robert-mugabe-file-large-tease.jpg

Harare, Zimbabwe (CNN) - Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe has resigned, the speaker of the country's Parliament said, bringing an end to his 37 years of rule.

The announcement came as Parliament began proceedings to impeach him, six days after the military seized control in the capital, Harare.
Mugabe's resignation marks the an end of an era in Zimbabwe -- he ruled the country with an iron fist for almost four decades and is the only leader the nation has known since it achieved independence from Britain in 1980.

Mugabe had clung onto power for the past week.

Members of parliament erupted in cheers and applause as the news emerged.

HARARE (Reuters)
- Robert Mugabe resigned as Zimbabwe’s president on Tuesday, shortly after parliament began an impeachment process to end his nearly four decades of rule.

The 93-year old clung on for a week after an army takeover and expulsion from his own ruling ZANU-PF party, which also told him to leave power.

Wild celebrations broke out at a joint sitting of parliament when Speaker Jacob Mudenda announced Mugabe’s resignation and suspended the impeachment procedure.

The origin of Mugabe’s sudden downfall lies in rivalry between members of Zimbabwe’s ruling elite over who will succeed him, rather than popular protests against his rule.

The army seized power after Mugabe sacked ZANU-PF’s favorite to succeed him, Emmerson Mnangagwa, to smooth a path to the presidency for his wife Grace, 52, known to her critics as “Gucci Grace” for her reputed fondness for luxury shopping.

Mnangagwa, a former security chief known as The Crocodile, is expected to take over as president.

Question is not if you've got subs, the point is how many active subs at a given time. Anothwr point is, can you find the arming of your subs to effectively take on the ship's with the cash crunch going on in SA.

The government wi be releasing money for the navy in few more weeks.

The Nigerian navy knows the necessary thing it needs.

The logic here is that we're expanding. Frigates, corvettes and opvs are coming in soon. Our combatant class will also be in service soon which I guess with missiles installed.

On serious armour, the CNS said we're getting LST
Mr Jln is in the Nigerian senate I guess.

Breaking News!!

It has now been confirmed. Nigeria has ordered 1 SSV from Indonesia.
.

Except you're Nigerian, you won't understand why Henry240 speaks of some procurement with confidence. In a normal procurement process, the military shows intent, proposals are submitted or discussed (press briefings), then funds are sourced and included in the budget.

What some fail to understand is that in some cases, the Nigerian procurement process is the other way round, deals are agreed and funds are provided before you get a whiff of it. The source of funds could be from agencies like Nimasa, or in some cases NNPC.

Its not a coincidence that the Speaker Dogara is speaking of special intervention funds just about the time the CNS is speaking of what they intend to get with the funds. It's a case of the more you look, the less you see.

"B...but muh assets"

It's 2017 bud, assets are irrelevant. It's about systems based warfare. Of which we are SSA's leader.

Also, if only experience counts... Then Nigerian troops are equally inexperienced as the SANDF as Nigerian troops have never conducted high-intensity operations... And unlike the SANDF, you dont train for them.
One would think you are part of the security meetings in Abuja, and you have the list of all the exercises based off your assertion. I laugh in Mokopa

Finally: Angola, Uganda, Kenya are all better equipped than you in one way or another.
Kenya? With more sticks and spears...F#ck me...geez.

Where does Egypt get the money to pay for all these big ticket items?
Although this has been answered before, they get their funding from multiple sources. Saudi Arabia is the major source and also the US congress reflexively votes $1 billion to Egypt each year as a major ally in the fight against terrorism and radical Islamic extremism, as well as a supporter of U.S. efforts to bring peace and stability in the region.

In the military sense Kenya is far superior to Nigeria, in COIN at least.

You want to talk about foreign interventions?

Somalia > Gambia + Sierra Leone

Give credit where credit is due
Now you're getting really paranoid about Nigeria.. In a bid to sound informed, you pass off pure BS as facts. Making jaundiced analysis based on your warped logic, backed by your own thoughts and imagination wouldn't cut it.

In the military sense Kenya is far superior to Nigeria, in COIN at least.
Because you say so? Based on which rating or facts?
Owning Tucanos doesn't mean COIN superiority, records do.

You want to talk about foreign interventions?

Somalia > Gambia + Sierra Leone

Give credit where credit is due
A classic case of selective amnesia.

It is you that's failing to give credit where its due, Nigeria practically funded the Apartheid struggles and remains the largest sponsors of ECOMOG, check the records. Kenya's intervention in a handful of countries wouldn't erase from history, the contributions of Nigeria to Africa

As a matter of fact, my earlier comment wasn't directed at you but you decided to jump on my mentions to spew utter tosh passed off as facts. This chest beating needs to stop, the level of pettiness is getting nauseating. If you don't have pictures to post, stay quiet and not stoke the fire. I for one was ready to hold my peace on the back and forth.

It's not news that the Nigerian military is not where they are meant to be, is the country able to afford high tech equipments? Of course it can, is the military adequately equiped? Yes, based on current threats. Future threats? Confirmed order of 12 Mi35m, 6 Mi171sh, bringing the number of attack helicopters to 42. Unknown numbers of Super Tucanos and possibly 40 JF17 (3 on order).

My question is this, what's your obsession with Nigeria that you would spend 3 days going back and forth about something you know nothing about?

I will rather have a weaker currency and be able to fund the military than a "strong" currency, with an economy in stagnation, a consequence of which your military isn't funded.

After all is said and done, Nigeria is moving forward as a nation, the equipments are being ordered, SAAF still has 8 pilots for 24 Gripens, and I am done responding to you guys on this matter, it's a pure waste of time.

Without a host country, we can still project

- 128 Umkhonto SAMs (Minimum)

I've tried to remain inaccessible to these frequent Naij/SA quarrels. Obviously that tactic of remaining silent hoping for peace has failed. In other words TIME FOR THE TRUTH!
These continuous crying fits and hysterics are caused by Naijjans confronted by the dual reality of the woeful operational and financial state of their armed forces.
This is worsened by pix of Grips,Ratels,Oryx and various other RSA weapons systems symptomatic of operational readiness and forward financial planning.
Naijjans, be mad at those who put you in this state. Ok,hate me now!!
POC, it's Nigerians no Naijjans.

Secondly the pictures of Gripens doesn't do f@ck all if there's no one to fly them.

And no one is mad at you or South Africans, people are calling you out when you pass off hear says as facts.

Common sense is buying platforms you can afford to sustain, and not B*tch about reasons why you can't train more pilots.

Thirdly, no one has complained about the financial state of the Nigerian armed forces, we buy what we need and can maintain.

Finally latching onto arguements between two people to take sides when you have no clue about what's been discussed makes you look like someone suffering from a chronic case of lalochezia makes you look slow-witted. Likely lurking in shadows with a vengeful plot, waiting for the opportunity to strike... Unfortunately this is not that time
