Easiest way:

1. Post a picture of yourself.
2. Make sure you are beautiful
3. Make sure you have big big boobs . . .

You'll have all the friends you want.

It should be like this:

1: Make sure you have very big boobs

2: Make sure you have very big boobs

3: Make sure you have very big boobs

With that, she will make loads of friends. More than she ever needs.

See as she fat sef - Damn! Is she considering becoming a weightlifter or something?

She even looks like a post-op transexual.

That this eyesore is a major star in our film industry speaks volumes of the state of young women

davidylan:
4Play na my wife be that o!  
Her brain is as big as her boobs . . . those twins are huge!  

No mind me, I've been trying to cure her of her mental ailments to no avail.

Typical Naija chick - ugly, face like someone poured buckets of paint on her, fashion criminal - enough said!

RichyBlacK:
Na woman no be man. The babe na real trouble maker. See thread wey just dey go well na im she just enter they shout "take over" .

There is an inverse relationship between her mammaries and her brain power.   Na real nut case, if she was in England, she will be sectioned.

TalkSmith:
Would you proffer your counter-argument to my statement? I am subject to learning anything new on this matter.

I doubt you are capable of learning. To proclaim that subsidies should be maintained in an open-market system is baloney.

In order to have an efficient market, you need to remove subsidies. That's not an original claim but a reality that is known to any educated person

And could you please prove or state how smugglers will still not pilfer or arbitrage oil even if subsidies are removed?

It's not the oil that is being arbitraged but the refined products. With a subsidy, prices are kept artificially low relative to neighbouring countries. Remove the subsidy and the price difference that incentivises smuggling activity largely vanishes.

Subsidies are symptomatic of dysfunctional societies? I guess the US and UK would be reasoning along your point right now.

Precisely, measures that are taken in extra-ordinary circumstances to deal with dysfunction in the economy are what Nigeria implements as a normal state of affairs. In a functional society, subsidies are uncommon, it is a symptom of dysfunction.

Let the ''subsidy'' remain, create an open-market system with effective monitoring policies.

Create an open-market system while leaving the subsidy in place?  

Close all borders against oil bunkering with appropriate measures set in place to deal with deterrents.

Instead of creating incentives for smugglers looking to arbitrage, it's best to remove the distortions to the pricing mechanism - the subsidy.

Subsidies are symptomatic of dysfunctional societies. It's the reason why Nigeria, the most corrupt nation on the planet, has a subsidy in the first place. It creates avenues for corruption and leaves the country with an inefficient fuel supply system.

Naija girls, I tire for them. Bunch of unimaginative bores. . . . . apart from my sweetheart, Tope2000.

If those ''puny'' banks with their cooked books are buying jets, maybe the likes of Barclays and HSBC should be buying spacecrafts.

Kalestky should have followed his own advice when he predicted, mid '08, that the US housing market was turning around or that the brouhaha over the economy was overdone.  He was so notorious for his false predictions that he became a laughing stock. His response to his failed forecasts was hilarious: attacks on Hank Paulson verging on the unhinged.

It's a good thing he has seen the limitations of the models economists use in making predictions. We are in uncharted territory. His article chimes with what Warren Buffet said here:

SG: But there is debate about whether there should be fiscal stimulus, whether tax cuts work or not. There is all of this academic debate among economists. What do you think? Is that the right way to go with stimulus and tax cuts?

WB: The answer is nobody knows. The economists don’t know. All you know is you throw everything at it and whether it’s more effective if you’re fighting a fire to be concentrating the water flow on this part or that part. You’re going to use every weapon you have in fighting it. And people, they do not know exactly what the effects are. Economists like to talk about it, but in the end they’ve been very, very wrong and most of them in recent years on this. We don’t know the perfect answers on it. What we do know is to stand by and do nothing is a terrible mistake or to follow Hoover-like policies would be a mistake and we don’t know how effective in the short run we don’t know how effective this will be and how quickly things will right themselves. We do know over time the American machine works wonderfully and it will work wonderfully again.

@Ibime

You be strongman o! Cos I no understand wetin Negro dey write about, it's too ''complex'' for my simple mind. 

debosky:


Calm down Allboyz  

See this one grinning because of a draw that keeps you 5 points behind Villa. Pathetic!

Even una 5th place day at risk.   If Everton hang on, they are 2 points behind you in 6th place.

vicade:
well, it is like our dream iof winning the EPL this season is over. Even if we pull it back, i am not convinced. Good game by Nasri and RVP

We're talking of making the top 4, this one is talking of winning the EPL. So you had such dreams before? These Gayners never cease to amaze me.

Men of little faith, Arsenal will still finish in the top 4 even if Villa lead till the end of March. But I will love to be proved wrong.  

@Tope

I don tell you, na 10 you go bear for me in one go. You know say I dey very potent.

Apparently, in-laws are responsible for a quarter of the beatings.

spoilt:
why would anyone flog a pregnant woman or throw an object at her?  
LAWD have mercy!

Yes, 4% say they were flogged. I remember when we were in secondary school, one guy said his dad had a cane he uses for whipping his mother. He wasn't speaking metaphorically.

Sisi Jinx:
Oh Brash! You obviously know nothing about TRUE LOVE!!!

Leave am, make im dey jealous our mutual love. See as Morenike and I kiss and make up already?  

MrCrackles:
Chei see your life, 4play!!

Morenike na my sweetheart right from time, after I don strangle David finish, na marriage be the next thing on our agenda.  

@Sisi Jinx

Na Morenike be Heat Fusion?

My darling junior wife, na her I call idiot like this. Ruby, please forgive me o.  

[quote author=**osisi link=topic=224913.msg3393031#msg3393031 date=1233099482]I said northerners.
if half are Hausa,the rest are the other minor tribes over there.
I'm not saying southern women are not abused by their husbands but believe me 63% will not tell you they deserved it.[/quote]63% may not say so but I won't be surprised the ''masochists'' amongst Southern Nigerian women will be somewhat high too.

HeatFusion:
Two things madly wrong with your thread:

1. [b]Seems you're jovial [/b]with the fact that pregnant Nigerian women admit that getting bashed while a baby is growing inside their abdomen can sometimes be excused. Sickening!

Who is this blithering idiot?

[quote author=**osisi link=topic=224913.msg3393013#msg3393013 date=1233098894]The study is from Zaria
sharialand
how won't those child brides,one wife out of 4 muzzled women locked up 24 hours behind a mud house take any nonsense
what choices do they have[/quote]The respondents were not mainly Hausa-Fulani(they might still be mainly Northerners though)and they were not all unlettered women.

Forty four percentwere of Hausa-Fulani extraction while the remaining
46% were other tribes. One Hundred and forty (79%)were educated up to secondary school level.

HeatFusion:
Topic makes no iota of sense.Poster should have explained how his topic heading correlates to the given statistics. . . .

Correlation is easy to establish. . .  . where else will you find a study where 63.5% of the respondents, pregnant women, say the physical abuse meted on them is justified sometimes or always.

Seun:
No single individual can salvage the fall of the Naira,
but you can take advantage of it by going into an export business.
If enough people do that, the trend of naira depreciation will be reversed.
The best way to solve the problem is to exploit it! Don't you just love economics?

At a time world trade, concomittantly exports, is falling, you think we can export our way out of a currency depreciation?

Seun:
Why would the export of Nigerian arts be banned?  How can an industry thrive without customers?

Not that I support it but a ban can be justified when you think of the potential tourist income if the artworks stay home.

My take on the whole mess the world is in is this. The market, just by definition cannot fail.  The market reacts to situations and circumstances to bring about a balance.  All these govt intervention screwed up the market in the first place and it is still screwing it up today.  Until the market is allowed to adjust by itself and attain a sustainable balance, we will not only be on this problem for long, but we will be laying the foundation for the future wahala.

Govt intervention in the past did not help but unless the banks can save themselves without Govt aid, this is not the time to rail against Govt intervention.The banks cannot privatise the profits and nationalise the losses without bringing about greater Govt intervention.

On another point however, can anyone explain to me how Obama plans to maintain the infrastructures he is planning to build? Currently, our highways are maintained through the revenue from gas taxes. He is advocating less use of gasoline and increased use of mass transit. If the use of gasoline declines, so will the revenue from taxing it.  meanwhile, the infrastructures that need maintenance will increase and mass transits are always subsidized from gasoline taxes.  How will these infrastructures be sustained?  Where will the money come from? Are we not setting up a future bailout of not just our financial industries but our entire infrastructure in the near future?  More questions than answers I tell yah.

Govt spending, unless it comes from printing money, has to be paid for by higher taxes either today or in the future. The Obama argument is that the infrastructural spending will lead to higher GDP growth, viz, it will pay for itself. That is where the multipliers come in.

Saw Roubini on Bloomberg talking about an Asian-style recession. May not be right, but we are certainly in it for the long haul.

I have tremendous respect for Roubini because he's one of the few to predict this crisis. He too supports a stimulus spending package. I believe his only quarrel with the Obama package is whether its big enough.

Even a Saysian approach of tax-cuts for producers will take months to go through the system, and comes with no guarantees at all.

Enacting tax cuts is always faster than major spending measures. I believe the key drawback with taxcuts is that there is little guarantee the tax savings will be spent, thus, rendering the tax cuts useless.

Even tax rebates aimed at the poorest, as was tried in '01 and '08 , have proven to be of limited value as most of the savings were saved.

Obama's approach is not with disregard to Paulson's bailout. Supply has been stimulated, it is now time to stimulate demand. A 'bad bank' approach is still in the offing for Obama, as well as other measures, so this is not a unidirectional Keynesian approach

There is no instant fix unless you dash everybody money and force them to spend. The Keynesian approach at least leaves you with capital goods when the crisis is over.

I don't think they have injected enough capital into banks, so I won't say the banks have nearly enough to lend.

The key problem with the ''bad bank'' approach is asset valuation,i.e the assets that will bought by the ''bad bank''. Unless the Govt nationalises these banks and has unlimited access to their books, which they should strongly consider,you can't trust the banks' disclosure of their balance sheet.

The rescue measures have been haphazard so far. Geithner needs to settle on a comprehensive and consistent approach that will encourage private investors to participate in the recapitalisation of these banks.

@Earthmama

The way you start threads on NL, is it a cry for help?

My prayer this year is that you find a husband to keep you busy . . . . . . . Olabowale has signaled offline that he's willing to consider you as his wife.

See what I was saying about the slowness of the appropriation process. That's the projected time frame for the spending, got the summary from Greg Mankiw's blog.
