I love how Nigerians still think they did any thing of note to ended Apartheid. Apartheid South Africa did more tp help Bifar than Nigeria did to help in the fight against Nigeria. No Nigerians spilt blood or even fired a shot. You where a minor bystander of no note or of importance. In fact the britsh goverment did more to end apartheid than Nigeria.

bwahahahaha....I laugh in dothraki.Shaka indeed; forgive me if I dont gulp down melodramatic tales about a spear-totting madman whose only most noteworthy adventures were ambushing british caravans and instigating baseless skirmishes.
Compare your belove Shaka with renown Nigerian warriors like Ewuare the Great who established the first dynasty of the great benin empire,Amina of Zazzau(Zaria) who captured walled fortresses and ruled the vast hausa confederacy for 35 years,or even the recent General Ogedengbe.

I will bet $1 trillion if you can ever give me any traditional African king that is more renowned than Shaka. Shaka never ambushed British, he defeated them fairly and squarely.

This post is by no means an attempt to mock the U.S military but rather to show that even the formidable U.S. military is susceptible to embarrassing fails and mishaps.

This is directed at the detractors of the Russian military that love to point out Russian failures and label their equipment as rusty, old junk.

Newest U.S. warship breaks down, has to be towed 45 miles to shore

The newest ship of the U.S, coast guard Milwaukee, is out in the open sea. Now the ship must be towed back to the naval base in Virginia. The ship was commissioned just 20 days ago. This was reported by the Navy Times publication.

Milwaukee had departed from a Canadian port in Halifax to California's port in San Diego when the accident occurred However, according to the publication, the problems with the vehicle began as soon as it left the shore. Specialists had independently repaired the ship several times beforehand.

The preliminary reason of failure – intake of metal particles in the oil filter that passed into the engine of the ship.

The American government is already aware of the situation. The incident drew comment from the Chairman of the Senate Committee of the US Congress Armed Services Committee, John McCain. He called the situation alarming when a vehicle breaks down after a couple of weeks after launch.

"The message about the damage to Milwaukee is deeply disturbing, especially considering that this ship was commissioned 20 days ago. I'm sure the US Navy will conduct a thorough investigation of the reasons for this failure," said McCain.

This is not the first case when USA shipbuilding experiments have ended in failure. Recently, American shipbuilders were finally able to finalise the construction of the first ship of a new fleet of destroyers, project Zumwalt. Experts, assessing the new project of the U.S. Navy, noted primarily the weak arms and low functionality of the ship.

Shaka remains the greatest African king of all time in history. Like it or not. You don't have to go to internet to learn about Shaka. The world at large has been educated about Shaka from high schools.

Greatest king indeed,I didnt learn about Shaka from any school and frankly,no one gives a damn about him.I only stumbled upon his history while rummaging through the internet: upon all his perceived military genius,he left a legacy of slavery behind,how is that for being "great"?.
Warriors like Ewuare the Great who has his brass bust proudly displayed in the British museum,and Haile Selassie who has a sect of worshippers spreading across the carribeans.Where is Shaka's monument?

Black South Africans have never been slaves yet were oppressed. The only slaves we remember are those who were captured in what is now Nigeria and sold to America. King Cetswayo and fellow South African tribal Kings fought hard that no one from Southern Africa should end in America as slave.

The king of Africa.

You are the confused person here my dear.

You mean a king that lasted just 10 years and taught his people how to use spear in the 18th century is the greatest of the Kings in Africa?

We perfected the use of spear here long before that time. You will always remain a dull zulu until you go out to learn other people's history. Your king is a nobody as long as Africa is concern.

N10b PDP ‘cash given to former President’s ADC, aide’

•‘I’ve no foreign accounts, company’

•‘N10b came from oil block accounts’

Former National Security Adviser (NSA) Sambo Dasuki has said he handed over the N10billion given to Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) nomination convention delegates to former President Goodluck Jonathan’s Special Assistant on Domestic Affairs, Waripamowei Dudafa and the Aide-de-Camp.

He said the money was given out by the two aides, on the directive of Dr. Jonathan.



The former NSA said aside collecting the cash, he had nothing to do with it.

As at press time, no slush funds had been traced to Dasuki’s personal accounts, it was learnt.

Dasuki, who protested that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had subjected him to “media trial”, said such a treatment might jeopardise his defence.

Also yesterday, it was gathered that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) confirmed that the N10 billion was sourced from the Signature Bonus Account (oil block Account).

But the ex-NSA expressed regrets that he was being vilified by the EFCC when he acted on the instructions and approval of the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.

He said he had no foreign account and his local accounts are in Skye bank Plc, GTB and Standard Chartered Bank.



“That I am aware in November (I cannot remember the exact date), my office requested the CBN to exchange N10billion from the account of the Office of National Security Adviser domiciled in CBN. The money was exchanged at $47m and some Euros which I cannot remember. The exact amount was delivered at my residence.

“The money was for delegates that attended the nomination. .

“In respect of funds given to Amb. Bashir Yuguda between December 2014 and 2015, I authorised the payment of N1.5billion from the Office of the National Security Adviser for political campaign in the last elections. I remember paying DAAR Communications the sum of N2.120billion from ONSA for media activities for the Presidential Campaign 2015.”



A Staff Officer Account 1 in the Office of the NSA, Yazidu Ibrahim said in his statement as follows: ” I can testify that in the last five years, for all the companies that were paid, VAT and Withholding Tax were never paid for any contract.

“Also, to the best of my knowledge, there is no tenders board and procurement unit at the NSA. The awarding authority for all contracts, remains the NSA. All payments for contracts are (sic) based on directive from the DFA. Sometimes, there were accompanying documents most times, there was nothing except account details of contractors.

“In the last five years, the SAS imprest account has been passed and ONSA is getting direct funding from the government.

“I want to state as follows: many of the contracts were fake because the payment were round figures. (2), many of the payments were related to the 2015 presidential elections and not for national security. Many of the cash payments were just looted. Many people in the ruling PDP got huge sums of money”.

” The SAS imprest account is an account maintained by the NSA and the Permanent Secretary, Special Service Office. This is where money for the intelligence community is first paid before sharing between the ONSA, NSA and DSS.”
