Nigerians can be funny really.

The bolded has to be a joke of some sort. is it?

this doesn't have anything to do with black man mentality but reality. now lets see. assuming we want to start weapons development.
involving higher institutions isn't the first step.

The education system would need a complete overhaul to start with.
Teachers, needs to be retrained
There must be enough infrastructure to support development
There must be financial asses to keep development going
The markets must be there (u cant just create weapons and use them alone, u have to sell or it wont be profitable)

This is just to mention a few

I can start telling you how those list cant even be achieved in the the next 20 years not to talk of 40.

You cant just throw few millions into those glorified high schools and expect them to come up with a missile. apart from the fact that is wishful thinking, the quality of graduates and teachers cant support that kind of ideas.

Your ideas are what actually makes people think the black people cant do this kinds of things not mine. u seem to be living in Utopia. Are u?

I can build a satellite if i have the time. it is not hard to do. students build mini satellites for fun with Iphone processors and scrap metals from the junk yard and pay few bucks to get it launched. the shelf life are usually small thou because it doesn't have advance power(they use cell batteries most times)
The way to know how sophisticated it is by knowing the components and capabilities. will it carry advance optics? infrared? what is the shelf life? how fast is it?how advance is the processor? what is the purpose etc.

That is nothing special in being the first to launch it because countries like south Africa etc can do it as well in a hear beat but maybe they would rather just buy it abroad. After all even if Nigeria is to launch it, they will still have buy a space time abroad and send it to space from a foreign country or are we developing advanced rockets to send it to space as well?

Those kind of white elephant project can be used to bamboozle gullible Nigerians not the well informed ones.

good luck to them.

If you already knew then you should also know that ISIS is just al Qaeda with territorial ambition. They are extremists from several countries not just Syria. Al qaeda does not depend on the the U.S for weapons in my opinion.

Missy89:

Lol I don't need to have the facts. If those stuffs i listed were sophisticated enough, we would have heard it by now!

shymexx:

That's what they don't understand. Folks watch too much TV and see words, off the bat, believe that's how America and other countries work...without getting themselves acquainted with other things the complement the privatisation drive with to appease the people.

Also, rather than hold the govt responsible for not doing what it's meant to do, and paid for to do with the country's sovereign wealth - they believe selling all the country's assets without getting anything in return is the progressive way. I just don't understand the mentality of the people.

cirmuell: lol, time will tell, the first two mentions was a mistake. I was typing in haste. Check the last mention.

It is the MTN effect, Nitel poor, MTN good = Privatisation >>>>> "Publictisations". Simpletons.

BlackTechnology:


You are the funny one here

China India Korea Iran etc never had the best universities when they started but today are churning out world class weapons.

When India Pakistan and China developed nuclear bombs, their higher institutions were not world class

North Korea university is nothing to write home about but today have tested 2 nuclear bombs

Your comments reveal you are not an engineering-technologist

Am sure if you are the mother of Emeagwali, Innoson etc you would have killed their engineering-technological spirit.

Pls return back to the kitchen you do not understand how technology works


JONATHAN give our higher institutions an opportunity to prove themselves.

RockMaxi:

Guy forget that thing wey you yarn for here, try and read properly and go back to make research on America's resolution on "Baga Bloody day" and you will know that America is not sincere on this.

shymexx:

Lmao...so much that they had to privatise national ID cards. What's next? - privatise the people and sell them into slavery.

Heck, some clownish cowboy and a rogue came up with Africapitalism (I laughed so hard when I saw this earlier this year)...pathetic, I must say.

Missy89:

i saw the last one.

Germany, Japan and most EU countries have the capability of building a nuke within few months but they are not doing it. that doesn't mean North Korea with nukes is technological advanced.

Everything is about significance. White elephants projects are used to distract gullible people. The first question you people should be asking is "what was the advantages of the previous one that was launched and how has it impacted the nations defense and infrastructure" . Not trying to claim "first" when there is no prize for the winner.

hercules07:

Please read up on those countries before spouting nonsense, China that has been around for over 3000 years, the Persians, the Indians did not have great universities? Please remove Emeagwali from that list, the guy is a fraud, Innoson is a business man, he is no better than the Alaba boys.

rusher14:

A country that resists state police would be orchestrating a weapons development course in her Universities?

If wishes were horses....

cirmuell: you don't have the facts, so you have no right to downplay it.

It is no big deal in your eyes but until

Mogidi:

Is the above not a hint they ordered Israel not to deal with us?

cirmuell: there you go again. The first was faulty.
the second has been in service ever since, defence...maybe not, but infrastructure don't go there. I don't need to spell it out to you.

Nigerians who travel out and return to the country and are able to live in the country and continue with the same crazy attitude are certifiable loons, heck, a cat's life is worth more in some countries than a human life in naija. We should stop getting Finance Ministers from the World bank, their ideas benefit the 1 percent. I do not even know Okonjo's ideology, apart from borrowing money for recurrent activities.

donroxy: It is not US fault , no sane nation will put her defence machineries in the hand of another nation .....

In the present days of Insurgency/Terrorism ravaging every part of the world , we should not fold our hands and wait to be consumed before we go out there to develop and procure our defence/attack Military Gadgets !!

Especially, we need to start looking inward , we have engineers, Chemist, physicists among many scientists and raw intelligents on streets lying idle doing nothing ..... But if we sponsor this people's effort on research and development , verily, we shall have a sophisticated Military tools of our own that can withstand time .... The only one we may not have is Nuclear (Cuz they won't allow us) !!

But ........ Hmmmm , we keep waiting on Russia, China, US, India, ZA, Isreal even the security of our president, is in the hands of Foreign Nations ...... The time has come to stop protecting ourselves against ourselves , we should start protecting ourselves against the world !!!

shymexx:

Yes, a lot of folks are paid.

But a lot of Nigerians also spout nonsense. They watch too much MSM.

Aren't Nigerians the same ones who actually believe the naija army that can't defeat BH, the best in Africa? The government is a reflection of the people, and those throwing junk out there know how gullible the folks are.

These are the same folks who don't even care about how they're governed, and they believe the government selling all the country's assets off to their cronies under the disguise of privatisation is the best thing since slice bread. The same folks who don't even know what they're entitled to as a people.

Billyonaire: It is easy to believe USA and disbelieve our Presidency, after all we believe the Bible and Koran more than our native gods. After all, they have white skin and our President is black. When are we gonna learn of America's antics ? 6 months ago, US send arms to 'Moderate Syrian Opposition', now that same group is called ISIS. Before then Lybia rebels were funded, and that's where the arms come from.

Make we hear word jare.

shymexx:

A lot of these folks work for their own personal interests and the interests of certain organisations they represent, and not the country and its people. There's nothing bad in getting a professional who can do the job. The UK got a Canadian, Mark Carney, to fix the economy and Bank of England, based on his antecedents. And I'd say he has done a far better job than Mervyn King.

However, the woman running the show in naija is a Rockefeller Foundation mole. And she's serving their interests. Regardless, there are tons of upstanding Nigerians out there who will help if the environment is sane, and they're allowed to do their jobs in a professional manner. But the consciousness in the country, based on what I'm privy to on the web (not a good yardstick) isn't ripe for that. A lot of Nigerians can't see beyond their nostrils and they don't understand anything that isn't black and white.

Missy89:

You keep coming up with ridiculous claims .

China's Nuclear bombs were developed using the Soviet blueprints and has nothing to do with their "schools"
In fact , china keep stealing foreign technology to perfect their weapons systems till date and most of the advanced weapons are knock offs. Besides, after the US started having a good relationship with China, the first thing they did was a huge technology transfer to china to help build its infrastructure.

China is still way behind in Missile technology, they cant even come up with a deterrent yet.

Pakistan on the other hand developed there weapon with the help of the United states, they didn't come up with the tech by themselves.

North Korea is not worth mentioning.

Lol @ return to the kitchen. Those lines are for weak men that hides behind their gender when they don't have anything reasonable to say

odun4love:

Seconded


See people talking has if they did not know US.
