Culture / How To Spot Boko Haram Suicide Bombers.. by Engen(m): 11:55am On Jul 15, 2014 |
Just as our beloved country is plagued with many ills,its mandatory and important to be aware of our individual security. Protecting our properties, family and love ones shouldn't be left to God, God wants us to tend to our security.CCTV,pepper spray, teasers and many other small pros to protect oneself is vital. So how, exactly, do we spot a suicide bomber? He's a young man, sweating profusely, looking around furtively, carrying a rucksack or wearing bulky clothing. He might be from an ethnic minority - but not necessarily. This, according to security specialists, is the most likely profile of a suicide bomber. Experts contacted by The Sunday Telegraph say that a potential bomber may lick his lips, appear nervous and have shaved all his body. He may be wearing clothing inappropriate for the weather and be thrusting his hands into his pockets. If he is carrying a bag, he may be checking it. He may also wear a baseball cap or other headwear that would obscure his face from closed circuit television. These descriptions were given in response to questions about how the public should recognise a suicide bomber while travelling on public transport. But while officials and experts agreed on basic details on the appearance of suicide bombers, most disagreed on how to respond if the public found one. "Speak up and advise fellow passengers," the British Transport Police advised. "If you see someone doing something very dramatic, the train is moving and you can't consult staff, then tell your fellow passengers, speak up." However, Will Geddes, the managing director of the International Corporate Protection Group, which provides security advice, said: "Do not, in any circumstances, speak out. Your actions have to be responsible. If you shout, 'It's a bomb', you will panic him into setting it off." Security specialists and emergency services advised that the public call 999 if possible. Scotland Yard, Transport for London and British Transport Police also urged people to alert staff on the Tube and buses if they saw something suspicious. Asked what makes a person suspicious, a British Transport Police employee said: "I'm not sure. Someone fiddling with a rucksack?" His colleague added: "Generally, anyone suspicious will be with a suspicious bag, package or leave a suspicious unattended item. It could be anyone - not just Asian. One of the bombers was Afro-Caribbean." He said: "If you see something, wait until you arrive at the next station then tell staff. Obviously if something more dramatic happens, you can hit the emergency button. But from the point of view of your safety, and that of fellow passengers, it's better to wait until you get to the next station. If you have a pen and notepad, note what you see." Security analysts gave bolder advice. Robert Ayers, a former US intelligence officer and adviser at the Chatham House think tank, said: "You look for a combination of factors - are they carrying a package, are they nervous, sweating, licking their lips a lot and checking the package? "If it is a radical Muslim, he may have removed all of his visible body hair. Look for a person who looks uncomfortable, anxious and out of place. They would most likely be from a particular ethnic background and aged between 20 and 35. "The first thing you should do is to get away from them and get the police. If you can't escape or call 999 because you are on the Tube, then do not approach them. You'll panic them into setting it off prematurely." Mr Ayers admitted that he would not alert fellow passengers. "If I thought someone had a bomb, I would go to another car. If I raise the alarm, he's going to set it off. If you see him move to detonate it, well you can only hope your life insurance is paid up." Asked whether the public should look for a female suicide bomber, Mr Ayers said: "It's more than likely they would be male." Mr Geddes disagreed. "There is an increasing number of female bombers," he said, "so I wouldn't rule it out." His general advice was to remain highly vigilant. "There is no precise science to spotting a suicide bomber but you can assemble a picture. Be aware of who is in the carriage with you. "Is anyone carrying a package? Where do they put it? Do they leave without it? Don't be afraid of saying 'Whose bag is this?' If no one claims it, act. Be very careful not to cause panic. Wait until the train gets to the station, press the emergency button and calmly suggest everyone leaves. Say, 'I don't know who this bag belongs to. Let's get off the carriage and alert the authorities'. Don't do it in the tunnel. If the driver stops the train in the tunnel you're trapped. If it is something bad, there's no quick escape." He said there were various methods to identify someone was wearing a device. "Are their clothes inappropriate for the weather, such as a heavy raincoat or fleece in hot weather? Another give-away is their physical shape. Generally, average-sized legs mean average-sized body. If they are much more bulky than their legs, neck or face suggest, that might be suspicious. Is the clothing disguising something?" Mr Geddes said a bomber's mental state would present clues. "People who are about to undertake something high-risk will be perspiring. Look at their hands - where are they? In their pockets? Next thing: eyes. Are they furtive? Are they looking at the exit? Are they looking around the carriage? Are they making an obvious attempt not to make eye contact? Be conscious of the whole picture." His final warning was that, after the past two attacks, a potential bomber might try to disguise his appearance. "Any terrorist group that has been watching the news will say, 'These guys are going to get caught in hours. They've exposed themselves to CCTV. They may make more effort to disguise themselves next time."

Culture / Re: The Tom And Jerry Relationship Between The Igbos And Yorubas. by Engen(m): 10:01am On Jul 14, 2014 |
ultrazone: One thing I'm clear about the igbos is that a lot of them do not understand the yorubas. Many of them have preconceived notions that yorubas are untrustworthy. Unfortunately, yorubas care less. We do not have special hatred or make judgment about any tribe. We make decisions based on situation per time. That's why other tribes think we are unreliable. It's a principle of no permanent friend or enemy. By naijablogger No clashes because From the oyo empire in the 15th century to the glory days of Ibadan in the mid 17th century,from the the kirigi wars to the expansionist Fulani attempts at conquest,we have seen it all and too much blood have been shed in defending every inch of odualands. We Yorubas do not see the ibos or anybody as competitors.we set our sight higher and at our own pace. Every man ,woman and child in yorubaland knows what our society used to be like before the British ,before independence and under the western region. We also know of the present . There are major philosophical and ideological differences between Yorubas and ibos which only the likes of modern ,forward looking and cosmopolitan people like utomi and Fashola can bridge.on the other hand,which people like bode George ,obanikoro ,chukwumerije and peter obi are willing to exploit as was done in the anambra election . But the reason why there are no clashes is the reason why we oyo,Benin ,Ibadan had empires and the ibos did not. We do not see the Igbos as a rival.the clear and present danger is the Federal government regardless of whom the occupier is.Whomever supports that corrupt FG as presently constituted will always be viewed with suspicion . Another is the ever present danger of the feudalists in the north and the acolytes in the south. Unfortunately,the power drunk man at the rock is already dancing to their beat and if not careful, could eventually be caught off guard and hand power to the wrong set of people from that part. Lastly,many of the uches ,chinedus and emekas of today will be totally assimilated into the Yoruba nation in a few generations.their great grandchildren will by then,be bearing full yoruba names and would have lost every single link to alaibo. These citizens would form a part of the shock troops for the future rise of oyo. Sorry if you are offended but that is the way empire builders reason and work. 8 Likes |

MidaxPhoenix: The hidden truth is that the igbos felt betrayed by the yorubas, the igbos have always seen the yorubas as the brothers across the niger but the civil war changed the course of thinking. I am a 39years old Yoruba man, from Oshodi, I have never seen an unbiased write up about the two most popular tribes in Nigeria.Though, not the whole picture but very close to the truth. 9 Likes |

Nairaland / General / Amazing Real Events In Pictures by Engen(m): 2:34pm On Jul 06, 2014 |
I saw a post yesterday about controversial images of the past so I decided to share this with you guys I got it from an amazing site. It's about pictures taken that words not enough for expressions. There are absolutely no words to describe some of these photos. Some are really incredible to behold and some are seriously heartbreaking… I have to admit, I shed some tears with one or two of them. Have a look and see how you feel about them. # 1 Keep Your Hands off My Mother It was in 1987, when the Minneapolis police responded to a 911 call. It was a boy named Diamond who made the call saying that his father, Ferrato, was physically beating his mother. Diamond was the first child that Ferrato had ever seen who stood up for his mother… this is a moment when most kids are really afraid and they will just leave it. This photo not only left an impression on Ferrato and the police, but it was also named one of the most influential photos in the world by Life Magazine. 20 years later, Ferrato found Diamond again—his parents are still together in a happy, healthy relationship. #2 This Year I am Alone Belarus Konstantin Pronin, is an 86-year old World War II veteran. As you can see, he is sitting on a bench where he waits for his comrade at the Gorky Park during Victory Day in Moscow, Russia. This photo was taken on 9 May, 2011, but that year, Belarus was the only one from the unit who showed up. Makes one think hey? #3 Starved Kids This is wrong in more ways than one. When you look at the statistics of how many starving people, kids especially, there is out there, you would think that people would have some compassion, wouldn’t you? This Turkish official is teasing starving Armenian kids by showing them a piece of bread. This was during the Armenian Genocide in 1915. Just wrong!...well let's move on coming up at number four is . #4 Wake Up Daddy Being an alcoholic is not an easy path, but we have to remember that this is a family disease. This means that when you are an alcoholic, your whole family is affected, not only you. In this picture the boy is trying to wake up his alcoholic father on the side walk. Doesn’t this just break your heart into tiny little pieced? Image what must be going through the boys head!

Business / Facebooking-disturbing Attributes Of FACEBOOK by Engen(m): 7:47am On Jun 28, 2014 |
For few years, this social media giant called Facebook, I must confess have been a pain in my life for just one reason; Africa remains the only continent Facebook don't have a presence,with so many users across the continent, but on my part it maybe the lack of boldness or rather I just don't want to be labeled a black radical moreso, this is the only source of income for me as per my job. I can't discuss this among my colleague being the only black man in my very dominated white company and worse, a business in a country with pathetic racial troubles...South Africa. Recent studies revealed facts that shows that 69% of Facebook's global staffers are male. A full 85% of the company's tech workers, and 77% of its management team, are also men. The company's U.S. workforce is 57% white, 34% Asian, 4% Hispanic and 2% black. The report released on Wednesday, is the latest in a flurry of voluntary diversity disclosures by high-profile tech firms.The true scale of the industry's diversity problem is difficult to determine, largely because most major tech companies have closely guarded their data, and I really get that but not employing black people it's a trend among these tech' company at least yahoo, google and few others might have presense in Africa they rather employ white south Africans to head these organizations. Not to bore you guys what do you think am I just plain paranoia? I Will really appreciate am losing my head. |
