poor beaf, he is indeed aptly named, he is not even as dumb as a cow, he is dumber, his intelect is on the same level as a cows carcass he has all the sense of the scattered pieces of a slaughtered ruminant. he was indeed aptly named as eran ileya small wonder he can never post coherent arguments for the inane proposal of the drinkard administration |

oyb: My broda, where is your brain? Is it near your arse or actually in your arse? You are really stup!d and fit only for use as a vetenery research subject. It isn't humanly possible to be as daft as you, bro. Please accept this certificate as a token of recognition of your confounding degree of idiocy! Kai! a man dafter than a baby chimp!

Beaf: eran ileya, why are you posting one of your masters many awards? |
Re: FG To Track Down Boko Haram With Satellites by Beaf: 10:39am On May 14, 2012 |
^ You should be proud of your only achievement in your hate-filled life, bro. Very few dunces make your really low grade. Photo of Salt Lake City Airport (USA) taken by NigeriaSat-2: Nice! Awon id!ots and self-haters are killing themselves. Lol! Oyb, like all winshes is sad to see boko haram on the way out. |

Each time the government comes out announcing to the world her plans to stamp out Boko Haram, it's like shooting herself in the foot. Before the final demise of Osama bin Laden, did you ever here America announce to her enemies (even allies) what she was about to do? Why must you always reveal your strategies to the very "enemy" you're trying to defeat. It's a self defeatist policy. That's why the "enemy" will always be a step ahead of anything you're planning. Implement your strategy first, get results then announce your victory. Scoring cheap political points should come last. Follow the American example in the tracking down of Osama bin Laden or the recent hair splitting undercover work executed in Yemen by a CIA double agent that led to the recovery of a more refined underwear bomb virtually undetectable thru airport scanners. |

Damn it. Never knew Accursed is this daft. |
Re: FG To Track Down Boko Haram With Satellites by Nobody: 10:45am On May 14, 2012 |
Beaf: ^ we will be happy to see boko haram on the way out, sadly we know your dunce will only give us speeches and empty promises, much like you |
Re: FG To Track Down Boko Haram With Satellites by hotwax: 10:48am On May 14, 2012 |
The news is old enh? And of cause, terrorists have grown too small to be photographed from space too. Drone is cheaper, effective and instant. Interactive with drone is real-time. Drone can launch a missile. Drone can chase. However both Satelites and Drone can be hijacked electronically. |
Re: FG To Track Down Boko Haram With Satellites by Beaf: 10:50am On May 14, 2012 |
oyb: Don't be ashamed of your stance as a hater of Nigeria, dunces tend to lack shame. All you have ever done is bounce around in glee each time a bomb has gone off, cos you are a self-hating dunce. A wretch who sees no worth in his own country. Scarab. |
Re: FG To Track Down Boko Haram With Satellites by Beaf: 10:53am On May 14, 2012 |
hotwax: Drones are cheaper enh? How did you do that math? Do you think satellites need fuel to propel themselves? Do you think they need engineers to service them up in space? Do you realise how long they last? etc etc |
Re: FG To Track Down Boko Haram With Satellites by hotwax: 10:55am On May 14, 2012 |
Drones are cheaper enh? How did you do that math? The cheapest satelite cost 6billion dollars. The cheapest predator SR32 costs $100,000. Do the math urself. |
Re: FG To Track Down Boko Haram With Satellites by Nobody: 10:57am On May 14, 2012 |
Beaf: the only haters of nigeria are the likes of you, spokesmen for their stomachs, for mediocrity, for empty promises and long meaningless speeches , incompetence and whining. THERE IS NOTHING YOU HAVE EVER POSTED THAT HAS COME TO PASS it has always been govt to . . . and nothing has ever come out of it |
Re: FG To Track Down Boko Haram With Satellites by Beaf: 10:59am On May 14, 2012 |
hotwax: I don't know where you got your 6billion dollar price tag from, but its false. Aside from that, your calculation based on cost price alone is simplistic and faulty. You have to take in the full gamut of cost price, running costs and profits (yes, satellites make a profit). |
Re: FG To Track Down Boko Haram With Satellites by Beaf: 11:03am On May 14, 2012 |
oyb: One day, you will burst with hatred and stup!dity, cos that is all you are known for. By the way, have you given some thought to the proposal for your place as a veterinary research subject? It will help you, bro. You can't be this stup!d and walking free. There will be donkeys, monkeys, baboons, vultures... All kinda daft animals to keep you company. No be small tin o! |
Re: FG To Track Down Boko Haram With Satellites by hotwax: 11:07am On May 14, 2012 |
I don't know where you got your 6billion dollar price tag from, but its false. Aside from that, your calculation based on cost price alone is simplistic and faulty. Total cost of a drone plus service cost per year if operational round year= US$4.5 million Total cost hurricane-watch satellite mission cost =$290 million |
Re: FG To Track Down Boko Haram With Satellites by Beaf: 11:10am On May 14, 2012 |
hotwax: Have you factored in the profits for renting out satellite services? That is always enough to buy another bunch of satellites; unlike drones, it is a profit making venture. |
Re: FG To Track Down Boko Haram With Satellites by hotwax: 11:17am On May 14, 2012 |
hotwax: We are talking about purpose and suitability. For combat and mobile terrorist drone is the answer. Satelite has missions too. There are military satelite, communication satelites, geography/environment/climate monitoring satellite. You cannot use a communication satelite for military. The last time I checked, Nigeria has no Military satelite but climate and communication. As drone is purpose/mission specific so also satelites. |
Re: FG To Track Down Boko Haram With Satellites by Beaf: 11:23am On May 14, 2012 |
hotwax: We do not have drones with such capabilities, but we have satellites. Like that BBC link mentioned, Nigeria is one of only a few countries with top grade satellite capabilities. NigerSat-2 is military grade, it can take much better pics than those provided on this thread (you will not likely ever find them either, cos that has to be classified info). NigerSat-2 can be put to use for any purpose that requires high res pics / surveilance - from weather forcasting to battlefield. |
Re: FG To Track Down Boko Haram With Satellites by Beaf: 11:38am On May 14, 2012 |
For those of us who underate the country, Nigeria does have drones (but they are mainly in the ND) and even robot boats like the SeaStar USV below guarding our waters (there is no human on that boat). |
Re: FG To Track Down Boko Haram With Satellites by hotwax: 11:50am On May 14, 2012 |
We do not have drones with such capabilities, but we have satellites. When it comes to satelite technology, USA is the leader. As powerful as USA is, why are they not using satelite to track alqaidas? |
Re: FG To Track Down Boko Haram With Satellites by Beaf: 12:37pm On May 14, 2012 |
hotwax: They are able to track them, bro. The drones you've mentioned several times have their guidance and strikes are all conducted with the aid of satellites. |
Re: FG To Track Down Boko Haram With Satellites by hotwax: 1:42pm On May 14, 2012 |
hotwax: AMerica spy on Iran nuclear facility with drones. Iran captured one of the drone last month. Why is America not using satelite to spy on Iran ? Do I need to break somebody's head to let him/her know[size=15pt] "Drone is and can work in place of a satelite" ?[/size] |

Na wa o... Beaf, hotwax and oyb. Please take it easy o... Peace to you all. |
Re: FG To Track Down Boko Haram With Satellites by awuf2008: 3:15pm On May 14, 2012 |
Though laudable as it may look but i hope this will not end missing in space like it happen to sat 1 sometimes ago and also avenue to steal Government money |
Re: FG To Track Down Boko Haram With Satellites by lagerwhenindoubt(m): 3:18pm On May 14, 2012 |
please guys stay on the topic. Can the FG use its present "Commercial" Satellites to track Boko-Haram effectively? I have little concerns on the sophistication and price and profitability - too many lives (not counting future unborn generations of Nigerians) have been lost to MEND, BOKO-HARAM in recent years and the trend continues unabated. any use of technology is welcomed. My question is this? Can the FG do it as claimed or is this just another knee-jerk statement with no validity behind it. I understand the present challenge is that the Manufacturers of both Satellites are in the UK (Surrey) and Nigeria will need to pass instructions to Surrey or re-positioning coverage and vision to target areas. there is a time lag coupled with the fact that information assurance and security has now passed through foreign hands before reaching us (before Boko-Haram see it on BBC or Wiki-leaks before our Security Agencies do) How much of Security information is deemed Classified considering the Safety of Nigerians - If these images are available to FG at least they can make moves to reinforce at suspected locations or at least warn the innocent citizens who voted and will vote in 2015 |
