Re: [NIgerianWorldForum] RE: [IgboWorldForum] DRONES: Nigeria, What a Shame! Go to Obiano for lessons Willy Obiano does not need to go to China to buy a drone when all the resources are right there at his doorsteps. It is a matter of policy, organization and institutional imagination. Ya gazie.

Think of a kite - the sort we made as children and let go to soar in the wind, and controlled them with a thread. A drone is the combination of the principles in the making of a kite, except that rather than the thread, you build an electronic sensor into a small control station to guide your UFO remotely. You may design it to have the shape of an ordinary plane; a bee; a bat; a kite; an eagle, or choose any natural model of any thing capable of controlled aerodynamics. You affix or build in a camera and a transmitter that could transmit images in real time, and a battery with a capacity for longlife, that could keep your drone in the air for the distance and time you design for it. It could be for long range remote surveillance capacity, or for short range aerial communication capacity. Ideally, any well-taught student in in the fifth form of a well-established secondary or technical school with a good workshop should be able to build a model drone for a senior class project. Ideally, with University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Fed. University of Technology, Owerri, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, ESUT Enugu, ASU Uli, and the various Polythecnics - IMT, Fedpoly Nekede and Uwanna, etc, all of them with depts. of Fine & Applied Arts, Architecture, Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, the Engineering Schools and the Material Sciences, you would think that there would be some collaborative multidisciplinary research, that would include PRODA in Enugu, to develop and build drones for both military and non-military uses, including for law-enforcement, etc. with grants from the Federal government, State governments, and private Corporations. That is where the likes of MOE Ene should have come in if they were not in New Jersey solving quiet Fibonacci. But the question that should worry us include: (a) do these institutions have the resources - Laboratories, Workshops and high quality Faculty research and instructional capabilities to carry out any small, medium, and large scale projects?, (b) Do they have the kinds of research and administrative leadership and framework that can recruit, organize and deploy young, well-trained undergraduates, graduate Assistants, postdoctoral and mid-career researchers hungry to do great work in their prime towards any strategic goal? (c) Does the Nigerian governments - federal, state, and local governments - understand the real missions of these public universities? A drone? A boy with a good technical education from Ahiara Technical, Owerri Technical, or the Technical school in Enugu and such like, should be able to make one in the workshop behind their houses if properly educated and equipped. Willy Obiano does not need to go to China to buy a drone when all the resources are right there at his doorsteps. It is a matter of policy, organization and institutional imagination. Ya gazie.

Go to Obiano for lessons Nigeria, What a Shame! Go to Obiano for lessons Mr. Pius Maduka, an elder brother of the Coscharis Group, Mr. Cosmas Maduka. Pius was recently kidnapped in Nnewi, Anambra State. In spite of all the logistics support to the Army, Police and the SSS, they could not rescue him His rescue at Orlu was through the deployment of Drones by the Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano I felt happy as somebody from Anambra the day the Governor explained how he was in his room and monitored the movement of the kidnappers through the newly procured drones. In fact, we understand that it was the drones that provided the intelligence that led to the rescue of Pius and the capturing of the kidnappers. If Anambra State could buy a drone, it is a shame that the federal Government with Police, Army and SSS have not been able to buy drones and bring the issue of kidnapping to an end. If the President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan is incapable of fighting crime, let him cease that function to the Governor of Anambra State. If Willie were the president, with drones and other hi-teck equipment, Chibok girls would have been rescued since. All we are saying, Buy drones for the country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! __._,_.___ ________________________________ Posted by: Rex Marinus ________________________________ Reply via web post • Reply to sender • Reply to group • Start a New Topic • Messages in this topic (1) ________________________________ Yahoo Groups Instantly Explore All Attachments Within Each Group Conversation You can now explore files, preview and download photos directly within each conversation. ________________________________ Visit Your Group * New Members 3 • Privacy • Unsubscribe • Terms of Use .
