Fake news. India did not shoot down AWACS plane and Pakistan did not shoot down 5 Indian combat aircraft. Both sides do too much online capping to temporarily distract themselves from their fear of the dire consequences of war between them

malali:
Tinubu’s grandstanding infrastructure obsession has all the markings of another debt-fueled disaster in the making. With oil crashing into the low $60s per barrel ( far below Nigeria’s budget breakeven) the only logical question is: who funds his dreams? His answer appears dangerously obvious ,more loans, higher interests, and a financial dependence on creditors who will eventually dictate Nigeria’s policies.

What Tinubu is building are not assets that generate future revenue or foreign exchange, they are legacy projects for ribbon-cutting ceremonies. Railways that cannot pay for themselves, roads without tolling strategy, power projects without market reforms. This is not visionary economics , it’s political optics borrowed at rates.

Nigeria is staring down a future of ballooning debt servicing costs, currency devaluation pressures, and even more taxes squeezed from an already battered population. Without structural reforms, productivity expansion, or genuine export capacity,

Tinubu’s current path feels like a fast-track to fiscal captivity.

Very well articulated.

Rugged Trump, getting ready for war at all times.

I love this man, old but rugged and active.

Fubara should be babying.

Wike is just like trump, talk and do.

Research that started during Biden era?
Trump does not even know a hypersonic interceptor is being developed. Na wa for guys who only see personalities and not issues and concepts

Your design needs to go through extensive reliability engineering reviews and then you build scale models for wind tunnel testing. These days you may not have to do much wind tunnel testing as software exists for simulations.

Everything then has to be certified by reputable international bodies.

JuanDeDios:

BRANDING.

The way it works is this: You set up a company and create your brand (e.g., Calabaman Helos, makers of helicopters). You assemble your team of engineers (which includes people from Nigeria, South Africa, China, Serbia, Israel and ). Your team comes up with the design of a helicopter, determines what will be made at HQ, and comes with a plan to source the other parts. You may then reach out to Pratt and Whitney and give them specifications for your engines: whether it's turboprop or jet engine, the capacity, etc. P & W will produce an engine specifically for you, they may modify something they already have.

Then you will approach another company in China and give your specs for tyres.

And on and on like. These parts are made for you so they will bear the Calabaman Helos logo.

Meanwhile, in your company's HQ in Eket, your team of engineers produce the frame of the aircraft. A company in Lagos may produce the seats.

And then it all comes together at HQ where your team assembles all the parts: a made-in-Nigeria helicopter!

This is what happens all over the world: with every car and aircraft, but with aircraft especially.

And yet the AH-1Z viper is yet to be delivered. I’m getting so impatient with the American order.

The way you are allowing Turkish Air force plane casually into TAC, that's alarming o. Standards are coming down in this country.

⚡New Russian Defense Minister Does Audit: 11 trillion Rubles ($127 billion Dollars) Missing.

Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov has unveiled immense corruption among his predecessors. To the point of mind-exploding horror.

Beyond the missing money, here are some other problems:

1. An acute shortage of optical reconnaissance satellites.

2. Tanks have been sent out without their required Arena-M active protection systems (APS) even though they were paid for.

3. Promised production of Lancets and Krasnopol drones is non-existent.

4. New AWACS aircraft, which aviation urgently needs, have not been built.

5. Not a single new electronic warfare aircraft is under construction.

In other words, Prigozhin was completely correct: the corruption and theft at the Ministry of Defense has been shameful and treasonous.

Defense Minister Belousov is hard at work to fix these problems and expose those responsible for them.

Yet many misguided young people in the 3rd world think Putin is a good leader. Obviously out of inferiority complex for the west or just needing any hero to stand up to the US.

The truth is that Russia should be where China is now buy this incompetent messed up.

This Governments seems to wanna invest in capable minds and hands. This to me is one of the biggest thing a Govt can do for its people

I would want this to cut across more sectors tho

Russia didn't even have the intentions of invading Ukraine.

Ukraine started military training ( Trained by Us) around their borders which the West Media refused to cover, it was after then Russia sent their troops to Ukraine border cos they weren't sure what they were up to.

The Agreement after world war 2 was simple, Russia to withdraw their troops from Europe in agreement of NATO shouldn't step a foot in any of the East Europe countries. How many East Europe countries are currently under NATO?

Lies. Russia took Crimea and set up a mini civil war in Eastern Ukraine. The militias they set up even downed a plane.
The war has been on since 2014. The greatest and most defining mistake Putin ever made. It will change Russia significantly

iichidodo:
Was it delivered by drone or aircraft? Because I don't understand how a heavily defended HQ with multilayered air defense systems could easily be pierced and a whole general staff of Qud Force, the hydra head coordinating multiple terrorist organizations in Africa and Middle east, wiped out....Just like that?!.It couldn't be an airstrike by drone but that of an airstrike with such daring that has been known to the Israelites, the rescue at Entebbe? or the penetration of Tehran airspace by isreali pilots with F.35 Lockheed Martin Lightning II several years ago. I am certain this same risky undertaking must have been the work of those pilots because If you can fly through Tehran then what's Damascus? Until Iran gets advanced to the extent of building air defense systems that can detect, pursue and shoot down fifth generation stealth jets, this occurrences will become common happenings.

F35s firing some advanced missiles. I suspect some AI enhancement to the missiles

F16s in Ukraine are a big thing for just the opposite of these reasons the people in.rhis thread who think they know dint know.

There is a set of weaponry, an operational configuration and a suite of operational tactics that kill all the advantages that Russia has in of SAMs and other things.
The F16s operating in net centric mode would make Russian SAMs irrelevant and the recent debut of dummy target missiles would just screw up Russian systems.

This has probably been practised over and over by the newly trained pilots or if you are too naive to understand it, retired NATO pilots recruited for Ukraine.

The man is a liar. Russians dint have thousands if 4th and 5th generation fighters

It is standard practice to start an airline with leased planes now. Ethiopian Airlines is the technical partner and majority shareholder in Nigeria Air which is okay

For me I don't like the idea, why don't we get an affordablr frigate from Russia ?

Nigeria is also getting a new Frigate from the same shipyard refurbishing Aradu.
Aradu refurbishment includes a system upgrade.

kabe1:
This is not good news.

NNS Aradu is a Dud


BREAKING: FG approves refit of NNS ARADU

The Federal Government has granted approval for the refurbishment of the Nigerian Navy flag ship, the NNS ARADU, the sunnewsonline.com has learnt.
The revelation was made by the Chief Naval Staff Vice iral Awwal Gambo during the opening of the Maritime Discourse, a programme scheduled to flag off the activities for the Presidential Fleet Review.

He said the refurbishment will last for 24 months.

Details soon

Are you an engineer? Have you a naval architect?. Have you entered into a dry dick before? How then do you conclude upgrading a MEKO frigate is a dud. Do you know the systems design is modular?

They are even acquiring a small frigate with it but I tell you that Frigate won't be as Capable as Aradu when both are finished

• Wing Loong II
• CH-4

TL2 is not a precise missile though

You think Russia is winning?

BidenDTrounced:
This protests will cost more than Macron thinks he'll save by raising the retirement age. What I find funny is...the West is cutting costs/budget in critical sectors and neglecting the wellbeing of it's citizens to fund it's proxy war against Russia meanwhile, Russia isn't cutting cost in civil engineering, healthcare, education, infrastructure development and continues to progress while the West is in decline.

The number of homeless westerners who are unable to find affordable housing continues to increase. Americans have no affordable healthcare, the indigenous people of North America have no clean drinking water etc.

"We are building our economy in such a way that we do not allow excessive militarization, As for all our plans for [the development of] civil engineering, healthcare, education, infrastructure development, we are not cutting anything. Nothing! And they [the West] will have to cut spending"
President Putin.

The intended effects of Western actions against Russia are now seen on its own soil: rampant inflation, energy shortages, the threat of de-industrialization and financial instability


The End.

Russian economy is in freefall. The Rouble is crashing. Latest figures

Jones4190:
you don't know what you are saying, can USA withstand a one on one war with Russia? can they fight china?

Every country I know in history has beaten China. Yes the US will make short work of Russia.

The world is not dumping US dollar

pol23:
As much as I love this news, I somehow feel it's not really happening.... Wetin Saudi go take Kenyan shilling do ?
Even me sef get Kenya shilling for my car with nothing to do with it.... Just waiting for when next I will visit Kenya.... Date which is not close by.

This was exactly what I wrote some where. Everything ends up as US dollar

Chuna and Brazil wukd eventually use their earnings from the dea to buy dollars. Brazil will use its dollars to pay debt and China would save its dollars.
The dollar would be with us for a looong time. 80% of world trade is done in dollars.
People should stop jerking off to hype

Dollar is so important that Nigerians are still paying N750 of their own currency to buy one dollar. This will increase to about N850 later this year in spite of recuced fuel importation.

matrixme:
The world needs more people like Elon Musk who does their own thing and don't follow popular notion and less yes-men like Bill Gates. Apart from his stinginess, his terrible Twitter memes and his misogynic tendencies, I believe Elon is a great guy.

Is Bill Gates a YES man? He is not. He is one of the people setting the current agenda. It is like calling Prophet Mohammed a yes man in Islam

Reinaldo:
APC has bitten more than they can chew. They did not expect Peter Obi to do so well so they had to rig on a massive scale and they are now exposed to the global community as frauds. APC is destined to lose in court. Peter Obi is coming.

Obi rigged stupidly and still lost the elections, coming third. He was too scared to present figures to the elections tribunal because he knows a lot of young riggers would waste their llies in prison.
His attempt at the tribunal would be thrown n out with costs and he himself would be stripped of LP presidential candidacy afyer the fact with a two year jail term for being a double candidate of two parties within 3 months

You CANNOT visa ban any individual by petitioning. The individual rights of the person and the interests of the US is what US immigration will consider.

Most young people in Nigeria are dumb and out of phase with the world in their quality of thinking.
There is an annoying beief that thoughtless mob actions are effective aleays. They are not. If you want toattack as a mob, why not say you willboycott US schools, airlines and products if Oluomo is not visa banned.

That is better than this idiocy. The man will pay for a lawyer who would even sue US govt enforcing his individual rights and the perpetrators of this nonsense would look stupid which they sre

tsdarkside:
better start small before puttin the ol state in hugh debt crises....

Cheaper than a road through the same route if you factor in erosion.

This generation is pethaps the dullest we have had in Nigeria since the 50s. A bunch of vision restricted, low IQ guys leading themselves via mob think. I have stopped talking to anyone below 44 in Nigeria. The arrogance in ignorance is off the scales.

So Tinubu ideology is social democracy, empower poor people, grow the middle class. Immediately this is social investment, credit t cards backed by FG, mortgage scheme for poor and middle class. Pay your tax o. The way you live when you japa and start takung responsibility for yourself. That is what Tinubu will bring

Margaret thatcher and Queen Elizabeth were the ones who took the Falklands from Argentina by force, now that both of them are dead it's time for Argentina to reclaim what belongs to them.

Ignorance.
Always been British. Argentina claimed it and invaded. Some of us were in University as it happened. You should at least have researched before posting nonsense

What is you No.?

Why are you eating rice in the US?

bassdow:


These are DEFENCEs that took Ukraine + the WEST 8-years to build. Na Wa Ooo. May we never have a Russian as opponent

You mean Russia. Weak Russia that has been in the Donbass since 2014. A district barely 200km from Russia. A place they have been trying to take since February. A place they have wasted many worthless Russians (not my description but Prigozhns).

The entire effect of the Bakhmut is to kill thousands of young Russians and stem their offensive till Ukraine takes them apart like they did in Kharkiv and Kherson.

TheOldGods:
oga oo. The act says that the results must be transmitted from the pooling unit. Emphasis on the word pooling unit. Not after. Try understand the point. Now we're the results ed from the pooling unit. If it was show me. If it's was not, would we call that legal, since the act they wrote states it must be ed from the pooling unit! Call a spade a spade jare

Transmitted does not mean loaded on a server. You guys lack the ability to think
