Two national flags here. One for Chad and one for Romania. We learn everyday.
Found this, from 2019:
Ireland and Côte d’Ivoire at least made an effort 😀
The Anthem version:

3 random Automobile Industry #goodnews Stories from Nigeria. I’ve tried to do some regional balancing eh, because that’s what you people care for innit?

One from Ogun, one each from Enugu and Anambra, and one from Kaduna.

#Thread
Let’s start with Kaduna. Peugeot Automobile Nigeria (PAN), one of the oldest vehicle assembly plants in the country. Has had ups and downs, AMCON took over 2012 or so, etc. About six months ago new investors took over, and have pledged to inject $150mn: google.com/amp/s/leadersh…
Sorry. 4 stories not 3. (I didn’t like Further Maths like that in secondary school)

The ghost-working kingpin has asked a question, albeit a ridiculously laughable one. I’ll answer, only because I want a deserving charity to benefit. I hope his shamelessness does not extend to owing charities.

Here’s positive articles from me about Nigeria, pre-2015:

Here’s the Charity I want @dondekojo to donate the money to:

@chessinslums

I don’t know how much he has to donate, but I would request a minimum of N50,000 only.

I’m also temp unblocking him (blocked him long ago), so he can see these tweets and do the needful (donation).

Save the date. April 29, 2021 - Lagos State will be switching from Analogue TV broadcasting to Digital. Lagosians will, using an inexpensive set-top box & antenna, get access to potentially dozens of TV channels. Digital TV is higher quality video & audio, than analog. #DSObyNBC
Digital TV also frees up a lot of spectrum, which can be used for other things, like wireless broadband. The amount of spectrum needed to transmit one analog TV channel will transmit multiple digital channels. Digital TV allows so much more than Analogue.
With the digital switchover it will now finally be possible, I believe, to accurately measure viewing numbers and patterns/habits - among other benefits.

If there are any experts here kindly weigh in — in simple English pls 😀

News: PDP member Kassim Afegbua on @CTVpolitics now, saying Uche Secondus has outlived his usefulness as Chairman and should give way to more forward-looking leadership to retool the PDP. Says PDP not acting like a credible / viable opposition party.
Kassim Afegbua: PDP as things stand today doesn’t have a workable bank account, they cannot clean up their books, all their accounts have been garnisheed. I’m petitioning the EFCC. From 2017 to now over 10 billion Naira has been raised from sale of forms, where is the money?
Ken Okolugbo, PDP member: The people that should be encouraging Secondus are not doing so. Our flag-bearer is in Dubai, he’s only tweeting from there. Is he taking on the APC govt? Why can’t you blame him? Why only Secondus? We can do a lot more, we can even form a shadow govt.

Big plane vs small: “Imagine getting the 737 for less than $2m. It looks like a good bargain. But when due for C-check 18 months later, you‘lol get a bill of $3m... At that point, some operators will rather go for another aircraft than repair the old one.” guardian.ng/saturday-magaz…
“An airline like Overland Airways uses small aircraft like the ATR turboprop aircraft, which is deemed the right type for local operations. Aero Contractors and Arik Air have some Dash-8 and turboprops.”
Alternative title: “How Nigeria Airways longstanding monopoly made Nigeria a Boeing country - even though the planes make little commercial sense in a country where the farthest flight distances are under two hours.”

Very insightful piece.
