Fighter Pilot: Sadly, there are people who ignorantly practice a.nal s.ex––i.ntercourse through the a.nus. They confuse the pleasure of this act with the stupidity of this horrendous practice. I wish they knew of the many disadvantages associated with this act. Their ignorance comes with a heavy penalty. First, the anus has a sphincter muscle that enables it to contract and hold or release faeces during before/during excretion. Continual a.nal s.ex makes this muscle to gradually loose its elasticity, thereby making it difficult for the a.nus to hold faecal matter, if one wishes to. Secondly, compare the size of an erected p.enis with the size of regular faeces. It becomes obvious that penetration through the a.nus, places the p.enis right inside the rectum. Now, if you recall your biology, the rectum is the “collection-centre” of faeces before it passes it out when the individual is pressed. If the rectum had faeces at that time, anal sex is simply penis grease and rubbing on faeces! Is that what you call fun? Thirdly, sex in the v.agina cavity is made possible by lots of lubrication secreted by the woman; else friction would make this activity very painful and strenuous. Women, who do not properly lubricate for emotional, physiological, medical or spiritual reasons, will find s.ex unbearable. Now, imagine this, the a.nus has little or no lubrication! It is primarily an exit point, not an entry point! Why are you trying to change the natural use of the body? Fourthly, the lining of the rectum is not as robust as the lining of the v.agina (imagine that the v.agina can expand for the passage of a baby, but very “tough” faeces can’t pass through the anus). This makes the anus more susceptible to tears and continual s.ex in this region, would lead to tearing, no matter how careful one is. This in turn makes it easier to get infected. Fifth, if the anus or rectum does get torn, it does not heal as quickly, because it is a “wet” region and easily breeds more bacteria. The a.nus is never completely clean even after a bath. Its susceptibility to infections and such lining tears may lead to other problems such as anal abscess or fistula, which can make transmission of STIs and HIV more likely. Finally, if the man pulls his p.enis out of the a.nus, and then has v.aginal intercourse, he is basically just transferring faeces from the a.nus to the woman's vulva or v.agina – or bladder. So in the name of love and tighter intercourse, he is donating infections and diseases to his lover. And you are allowing all these? ......... This aint about Rights BRO! 2 Likes |

“The Managing Director/CEO, Proforce Limited, Mr. Adetokunbo Ogundeyin, says the new automotive policy recently introduced by the Federal Government is the best decision for the nation’s economy now. In this interview with AkinTUNDE Akinwale, Ogundeyin also explained why his company went into armoured vehicles production and the recent partnership with the Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria (DICON). Excerpts. Why did you go for the production of armoured vehicles? What has happened over the years is that the level of insecurity is on a very high level. When you look at armed robbery, you will see that it is on a very high level. I happened to be in Kuwait sometime ago, and people were looking for a company that would partner them, to market their products, and at that particular moment, it dawned on me that I did not want to be a go-between; I wanted to be a manufacturer. So we teamed up with some Colombians to set up Proforce in 2008. That was actually how we started the company. And the reason we founded the company, like I said, was due to the high level of insecurity in the country and all over the world. Nigeria is not isolated on this, because when you look at it, the same thing is happening in many countries across the world. Why did you not go for importing? Due to my passion for innovation and my training as an engineer, I do not believe that trading is the way forward. We engineers believe that trading does not build up the economy of any country but innovative manufacturing and application of latest technology. Manufacturing is the heartbeat of any economy and without manufacturing that economy will be stagnant and potentially collapse under external global market pressures. Trading is just a short-term engagement. Manufacturing is long-term, and the more companies you have manufacturing, the greater the foundation of the economy of that country because of the jobs and wealth created. So, that was why we went into manufacturing and, of course, it gives me so much joy and pride because by manufacturing, we design and build our products; and this is done by Nigerians thereby developing expertise and capacity. We are creating jobs for Nigerians. We are saving for the country a lot of foreign exchange and are even earning foreign exchange for the country by exporting. You can imagine the amount of joy you have when you see your products in other countries all over the world and it is made in Nigeria. It enhances Nigeria’s good image all over the world. But, then apart from that, when you are talking about defence, in Africa, it is only South Africa that has gone into this type of business, and we believe that we can do better. We believe that Nigerians have what it takes. We believe that Nigerians are intelligent and hardworking; Nigerians are focused and forward thinking; they know how to go about things. They are very sharp thinkers. So we believe that by the time we tap into these great qualities of Nigerians, we should be able to produce better products than what they make in South Africa, and we are on the way. We are on our way, because when you look at the level of patronage and the level of confidence that is being built in a lot of our clients that approach us, you will agree with me. They can see the vehicles that are built abroad; they can see the quality of things done abroad. They can see that Nigeria has been used as a dumping ground, and when they see what we are doing and the quality of the finish, they are impressed. We are gradually building confidence in a lot people. Our quality control department is doing a great job in that respect. I thank most of the people working there, because it is a collective effort to project Nigeria as the number one defence products manufacturing country in the world. But some people think that Nigeria is not investment -friendly, due to policy inconsistency, which has resulted in many companies folding up… About policies that keep on changing, it is not only in Nigeria that this happens. It is all over the world that it happens. What we have tried to do is that we try to run a very lean organization. Number two is that we practice the Jugaad management method. In the Jugaad method, we don’t waste money. We are not top-heavy at all, and we spend a lot of money on training and on research and development. That is the core of any business concern. Yes, a lot of companies have folded up, but a lot of these companies wasted a lot of money by being top heavy and lacking basic efficiency practices. They wasted money on other things. We have plugged all such holes, and what we have also done is that we try to run the place with minimal overheads, because when you start producing volume, then you can make your money, and it will sustain you. What exactly do you produce in your Ode Remo plant, and can the quality standard be compared with similar products elsewhere in the world? We make a lot of tactical vehicles, cash-in-transit vans; infantry combat vehicles, armoured patrol boats, Unmanned Arial Vehicles (UAV’s) and architectural armouring. We are now putting together a prototype military tank. Majority of these vehicles are second to none when you look at the quality. We have brought in expatriates that have a combined 70 years experience in armoring, and these are people who were the top guys where they were working before. They have transferred the technology to Nigerians who are coming up seriously fast. In fact, we have a couple armoured personnel carriers (APCs) that the Nigerian team put together and when you look at the quality of the finish, you can match it in quality with the APC’s the expatriate team made. So, gradually, what is happening is that the Nigerians are taking over, and one day the expatriates will leave it to Nigerians. But I can assure you that our products are just as good as all the products that are imported into Nigeria. Moreover, all we defence products manufacturers import raw materials from the same select group of companies such as glass from the same world leading Armoured Glass company in Peru. Likewise, we all import steel from the same company. The type of welding we do is mig-welding – the expertise of welding two ballistic metals together. If there is a joint, there could be a weak area. So we have perfected the mig-welding because of the presence of the expatriates that we have around, who have transferred that technology to the Nigerians. We have independently tested most of the different parts. They are all tested in ballistic laboratories in Germany and we are putting together a process of taking the vehicle as a whole for testing in Germany too. Apart from that, even the drive of most of our vehicles is different; because of our environment, the suspensions are made to suit our roads. We test some of these vehicles on our roads. We test some of these vehicles on our test track. We are putting up a mega test-track, but for now, the vehicles are tested on the test track we have. Some of the vehicles are amphibious going through deep waters. We are putting together a military tank that is combat-ready. What is your recent MoU with the Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria (DICON) all about? We signed an MoU (memorandum of understanding) with DICON to build a lot of military APCs in their Bauchi plant. The Bauchi plant has been comatose for years. I think it was built over 20 years, and not much has happened there. So, they want us to make use of it on a PPP (public private partnership) basis and start building military tanks. Just as we are building here, we will be building over there too. Nothing is as good as that, because what it means is that the country as a whole will now look inward. I can tell you one thing: No army anywhere in the world goes out to fight without having its own equipment built in its own country, because if you are unlucky to have your equipment built in a country where an aggression is coming from, then you are in trouble. So, you are to have your own home-grown equipment, not equipment being built by one country and supplied to you. No. We have more than enough expertise to build these things here. We are building them in Ode- Remo. You need to go there and see what we are doing there. So, we don’t need any expatriate to say they want to come and start building anything again for us. Many countries have realized that Proforce is number one, that Proforce is on the move. At the rate at which we are going, we will overtake a lot of countries within a short time, and that is the drive we have. You once tested your APC with policemen on board as shots were being fired with AK 47. Was there any incident, and how did the vehicle perform?

I mean, why would a grown man be fvcking another grown man in his anus. 98% of nigerians refuse to see a grown man passionately kissing another grown man in public. Besides, lesbians in south-africa get rap.ed repeatedly by your illiterate male population, with a belief that the rap.e would make them change their sexual orientation. Savagery!!!! Now, if the west wants nigeria to legalise "faggism", the west should also legalise polygamy. 1 Like |

The article below was culled from a beegeagle blogger, but there was no link; Security forces raid Boko Haram camps in Borno forests JANUARY 4, 2014 BY FIDELIS SORIWEI 5 Comments JTF | credits: File copy The Nigerian military is carrying out sustained ground and aerial raids on camps of members of the Boko Haram sect in Borno State. Investigations on Thursday revealed that the special forces had cleaned out several camps of the insurgents in the Sambisa forest in the state. A security source who confided in our correspondent said that the operation was one of the biggest since the escalation of the activities of the Boko Haram in the North Eastern part of the country. It was gathered that the security forces started the operation in the early hours of December 31, 2013, as a preemptive action against the insurgents who were said to have been engrossed with plans to launch multiple attacks on the Borno State Capital, Maiduguri. It was learnt that the ongoing operation involved heavy deployment of ground troops and Nigerian Air Force helicopters and fighter jets. Our correspondent learnt that several high caliber artillery weapons were deployed in the face-off with the insurgents. The source said that artillery weapons were deployed in such large numbers because of the calibre of weapons at the disposal of the insurgents and their audacious attacks on military formations recently. As at the time of filing this story, the operation to flush out the insurgents from the forests of the State was still ongoing. The source said that scores of insurgents had been killed in the sustained ground and aerial offensive, even though, the source could not put a figure to the number of the dead. The current operation is one of the several operations carried out by the Special Forces in combating the insurgents in the country. The Special Forces had carried out a major ground and aerial operation on the camps of the insurgents at the vast Sambisa Forest in May, 2013 which resulted in the destruction of the camps and the seizure of arms and ammunition from the insurgents. Several people were also killed in the operation. Investigations, however, revealed that the Special Forces commenced the recent operation following the discovery that the insurgents were still operating from camps in the heart of the long forest. The Special Forces were said to have discovered that the insurgents planted mines deep into the forest for the Nigerian troops. It was said that the current operation was meant to ensure that no such camps were left in the forest. Prior to this operation, the Nigerian Security operatives foiled what would have been a major Boko Haram attack on Maiduguri, on Tuesday, December 31, a day to the New Year. Investigations revealed that the Special Forces arrested 10 of the insurgents and killed one other in the operation. The security operatives are also said to be on the trail of 18 other insurgents who were said to be attempting to flee Maiduguri. A security source had said on Tuesday that the insurgents dispatched a 30- man team to carry out surveillance activities on strategic places in the state to counter a planned attack on the city on New Year’s Eve. According to the source, luck ran out on the insurgents when one of the operatives on the spy mission was apprehended at the park of the Borno Express Transport Company by the drivers of the transport firm who suspected his unusual conduct. |
