Politics / Re: Sanusi, The Most Intelligent Man In The Country- IMF by SapeleGuy: 6:23pm On Dec 22, 2011 |
Good points well made. However, cost cutting beyond 2 years is neither sustainable nor a substitute for growth and this is where the Bretton Woods twins fail woefully. I love your analogy - the loan shark doesn't want you to be debt free - it is bad for business. The loan shark wants you to be dependent, despite promises to the contrary the structural adjustment programmes do not work, IMF simply want their money, hence they come with such draconian terms. |

PhysicsQED -Don't expect Sagamite to even acknowledge this book - It doesn't come from the approved reading list! Sagamite: Their error? more like an encyclopaedia. Old boy you no go take laff kill person. Although i'm sure this is quite unintentional on your part Sagamite: My guy leave that thing. Nah money we dey talk here - personal and common interests are the primary drivers, race is secondary or even tertiary. The World Bank and IMF were set up for the sole benefit of the Western World in 1945. What you are writing here is against the DNA of the organisation. Sagamite: These institutions can't promote the betterment of Africa to the their own detriment. No amount of selling out or 'Uncle Tom' optimism can change that. I like results and could be convinced by successful and proven examples of IMF good practice that you care to reference - if you can find any. |

Sagamite: Dear Sagamite, Because the IMF/World Banks record in Africa is an ode to failure, I can afford to be crass perhaps not as crass as the purile person who said Sanusi is the most intelligent man in Nigeria. I know you are an excellent researcher, so I am hopeful that you will be able to come up with the Tangible achievements of IMF in Africa - Good luck in your quest Best regards Sapeleguy |

WaltherPPK: God bless you. The most intelligent man in the country? This is so condescending, can you imagine them making the same statement to France or USA? Thunder fire dem! Do you know how many coups and wars they have started? Do you know how many people have died through corruption aided and abetted by the IMF? The IMF is an institution that has never and will never mean well for Africa. Those of you who know your history will remember that the IMF indebted generations by giving loans to unelected, unaccountable and puppet dictatorships. Nigeria does not need any more 'intelligent' or verile academicians who are impotent in the real world or who slavishly follow flawed economics because the textbooks says so. Nigeria needs 'No retreat, no surrender' patriots who will put our interests first. You don't need to go to school to have honour or courage. Finally, before you start giving IMF or World Bank any sort of Kudos, please answer this simple question. What is their record of achievement in Nigeria or Africa? |

obailala: The bill will be passed because sensible people will realise that we either give them something or end up losing everything. Have you stopped to quantify how much it would cost to rectify the environmental damage to the region? Shell were recently fined $100 million dollars for 1 oil spill, how many oil spills have taken place in the '6 states' over the past 40 years. |

Politics / Re: Oil Communities To Get N165bn Annual Dividend by SapeleGuy: 6:06pm On Feb 24, 2011 |
Bread crumbs. This money is a tiny step in the right direction but it is still not enough. Federal Government should double this amount to include environmental clean up and specify that the 6 states only use the money for infrastructural / development projects (railways, hospitals, industries etc) these projects should be audited annually by EFCC and the African Union peer review mechanism. |

Politics / Re: Video Footage Of Aguiyi-ironsi, Nzeogwu, Sardauna’s House, Katsina…. by SapeleGuy: 6:54pm On Feb 08, 2011 |
ezeagu: Useless? After leading the onslaught and dancing on the graves of Okotie-Eboh, Balewa and Akintola, you have now found your senses and are now pretending to be responsible. Hypocrite. Your double standards are shamefully amazing but thankfully the whole of Nigeria has seen through the nefarious, iniquitous duplicity of leaders who run away to Ivory Coast & Ireland when the chips are down leaving their people to die like flies for their lies. Martyrs like Akintola, Balewa, Okotie -Eboh and the other innocents slaughtered in that coup have the bonafide respect of every right thinking Nigerian. Every time you people attempt to desecrate their memory either by commission or ommission, you will always get a swift backhander to jog your memory. |
Politics / Re: Video Footage Of Aguiyi-ironsi, Nzeogwu, Sardauna’s House, Katsina…. by SapeleGuy: 1:17am On Feb 08, 2011 |
Eziachi: I maintain that Okotie - Eboh was the best finance minister this country has seen, after him comes Awolowo. Stop parambulating in circles and tell us by deed and actions a better finance minister. Substantiate your claim, it is not too much to ask. All this 10% is not holding water, ther were records in those days, It is on record that Azikiwe was indicted for corruption, please give any tangible example no matter how trivial for Okotie-Eboh. As for Ibori, I will give you a simple test please tell us one governor from the south east zone who performed better than Ibori during 1999 - 2007. When next you visit home go across the bridge from Onitsha to Asaba - It is like comparing night and day. Eziachi: Please go back to sleep. Less powerful politicians are sent to Lagos to be Federal Minister of Finance for 10 years and the more powerful ones became what exactly You have to keep believing the lies because not to do so will be too painful for you. So keep playing the ostrich. Not to loathe will be to accept that Akintola, Balewa and Okotie - Eboh were slaughtered for a lie. Not to loathe Okotie - Eboh would mean accepting the fact that your people were slaughtered by the nak ed ambition and greed of your leaders. What has all this blood letting and death achieved They say the truth is self evident, Ironsi's video showed these guys didn't have a scooby doo (clue) about what to do next. Which begs the question why take power in the first place. |

Obiagu1: I see. So if many people tell a lie often enough, in your eyes it is the truth. What I am asking for is not hard, you can say he took bribe for Bleep contract or took Bleep plot of land or took Bleep amount from the treasury. You have none of these, you have resorted to quoting a disgruntled nairalander. |
Politics / Re: Video Footage Of Aguiyi-ironsi, Nzeogwu, Sardauna’s House, Katsina…. by SapeleGuy: 1:58am On Feb 07, 2011 |
jason123: What I believe is not relevant. Evidence is what we must base things on. It is on record that both Awolowo and Azikiwe were both found guilty of corruption. Try and find out about the Coker and Sutton Commissions. |
Politics / Re: Video Footage Of Aguiyi-ironsi, Nzeogwu, Sardauna’s House, Katsina…. by SapeleGuy: 1:53am On Feb 07, 2011 |

Politics / Re: Nigeria To Commence Islamic Banking Soon – Sanusi by SapeleGuy: 1:36am On Feb 07, 2011 |
Mr Duerulu: Bros This is not a new idea. Our laws already have provisions for these type of 'No Interest' arrangements. Why not use them. Our law does not allow any shariah, islamic, juju or pentecostal bank. All some of us are saying is respect our constitution and laws. Nigeria is a secular state. |
Politics / Re: Video Footage Of Aguiyi-ironsi, Nzeogwu, Sardauna’s House, Katsina…. by SapeleGuy: 1:27am On Feb 07, 2011 |
EzeUche_: Spoken like the rabid coup plotter and anarchist that you are. Tribalism may be your yardstick but mine are ability and patriotism. As long as Nigeria continues to exist we owe a debt of gratitude to the late Okotie-Eboh - He gave us the Central Bank of Nigeria, - He gave us our Naira notes - He gave us the Nigeria Industrial Development Bank - He gave us the Nigeria Stock Exchange - He was one of the key drivers for the creation of Mid West Region - He helped Nigeria avert war with Spain over Fernando Po. - Whilst in Fernando Po, he negotiated better labour service conditions for the largely Igbo workforce from the Spanish authorities. The agreement provided for a wage increase of 25 per cent for the workers and compensation to be paid by the employer to a labourer or his family in the event of any injury sustained at work. -He led Nigeria to the World Bank -He led Nigeria to the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa. -He got Eko Bridge built. Over to you. As you can see this man served all of Nigeria. |

Obiagu1: As I stated previously a little knowledge is dangerous in the hands of some people. So you are now criticising him for placing tariffs on imported goods- a policy that was designed to encourage entrepreneurship, manufacturing and job creation in Nigeria. Your naivety of colonial economics is staggering. Don't you know the colonies were prevented from manufacturing, they were forced to export raw materials that were used to make finished products that they then had to buy to benefit the colonial master? |

asha 80: Of course there was envy, The man was Minister for 10 years. That is exactly the point, they COULD NOT give it to anybody else, if they could Ojukwu would have got it - that was why he was so incensed. If you think anybody gets 'given' a position like that out of benevolence or generosity then I think you must be mistaking our country for Utopia. |

Obiagu1: You don't have facts so stop spreading gossip, rumours and outright lies as facts. I would respect people, who just come out and say I don't like him because he was too powerful or he is from such and such a place - bigotted? yes but at least they are honest. |

Nah moto? abi nah land or contract. Please talk. Asha80. Ginger your swagger. You have told the truth despite the fact it exposes the masterminds. |

EzeUche_: You are clueless, fed who? Okotie-Eboh bankrolled the NCNC. Fact. Just come out and be honest and say you do not like people who are not Igbo. Stop all this slander. Please post evidence of Okotie- Ebohs corruption? Just one or forever hold your pis s. Read these letters between Okotie- Eboh and Zik. Funnily enough he was referring the thieves in the NCNC, the ones who eventually planned to kill him because he was 'blocking' them. http://www.tribune.com.ng/index.php/in-a-out/14027-conspiracy-against-festus-samuel-okotie-eboh-4 |

EzeUche_: Ezekolo, Nkita ara dika gi Okotie - Eboh, has been the most successful and brilliant finance minister Nigeria has produced to date, after him comes Awolowo. Some people were keen to move him not because they had anything better to offer but because they felt a Mid-Westerner should not be that powerful. Simple. Go and do some research instead of displaying your usual impotent and feral rabble rousing. 1 Like |
