Kobojunkie:
What can I say? It's the way I like to debate; I try to stress every point I put across so, I can confidently "attack" those who come back accusing me of lying. If you have not noticed, it happens more often than not.

Gosh,you really have a vagina.

doyin13:
Exactly. As opposed to Bombast eh. . . .

Lucabrasi and Kobojunkie are the masters?(Kobo is androgynous) of verbosity with long winded posts that no one of sane mind reads in their entirety.

You,Jakumo and I delve in the more,according to philistines, bombastic variety .

doyin13:
4play. . . .it just shows what mental incisiveness you show with a lot less verbosity.

Oddly,I don't think most people understand what "verbosity" means.It refers to the quantity(prolixity) of words used and the inevitable redundancy of much of it.

Whether the militants fight out of a genuine opposition to oppression or are mere criminal opportunists is besides the point. The fundamental issue is that mineral revenues from a particular territory should stay in the same territory.Its not for 'parasites' from other parts of Nigeria to seek to pacify Niger-Deltans with a mere fraction of the revenue from their own resources.

CH3COO:
still his name isn't it?

I can't stand Arab names. . . it sends me into a fit.

Kobojunkie:
I don’t think Zimbabweans are worried about the number of zero’s they can remove from the currency as of now. I will bet the people are more worried about the inflation rate in that country, so removing a couple of zeroes will do next to nothing to actually fix the problem. In essence arguing that decimalization will help Zimbabwe, at this time is sort of moot.

Decimalisation is simply introducing decimals to your currency so that,for instance,instead of the lowest value being 1 Naira,you can have values less than 1.At the moment,that is the least of Zimbabwe's problems.

If they were to conduct redenomination a la Ghana,that won't change a thing. Supposing you are paid 5bn Zim Dollars per month and 4bn goes to food,chopping off 3 zeros ,for instance,will mean that you are paid 5m and 4m goes to food.With hyper-inflation,before the process is even completed,food costs will soar to 10m.

[quote author=Busy_body link=topic=145018.msg2420467#msg2420467 date=1214421201]Who said it wasn't cheap point scorer. The only reason I introduced decimalisation into the post was just to indicate that the problem of having to ferry around 1,000,000 Zimbabwean note to buy a loaf of bread could easily be solved by removing a few zeroes like the Ghanaians did, e.g if they removed four zeroes too, the bread would now cost 1,000, as opposed to 1,000,000. And hence the reason I made the tongue-in-cheek comment that some Ghanaians now think can now buy $1 with one cedis because . . . Can you prove where I said otherwise? [/quote]Does this blithering mooncalf recognise that removing a few zeroes is not decimilisation but redenomination.What Ghana did was redenomination,their currency was already decimilised.When 100 Naira is changed to 1 Naira,that is redenomination.When Naira is expressed as .50 Naira or 50 Kobo,that is decimilisation. Their is a clear difference between the 2.

Can you prove this bloody liar. Won't hold my breath though. What is the big deal about having the foresight that some people are going to think Zimbabwean's problems are caused by sanctions, whilst others would think otherwise? Aren't there going to be just two sides to such argument dumbo? Once again, learn the tact of making a point without making an enemy.

What is this slowpoke talking about? You are now claiming to have had the foresight to see David's post before he has even typed it. . .what a schmuck.

WesleyanA:
hating your name because of other people's prejudices??
why don't you go help him change his middle name to Ronald or Chris then?

there's nothing wrong with his name. just people's mindsets are messed up sometimes.

Your name?Is the OP an Arab? Hussein is as African as Ronald or Chris.

[quote author=Busy_body link=topic=145018.msg2420265#msg2420265 date=1214417855]Sheesh, why the insult, open your eyes, what are you getting all hot under the collars for? I said decimalisation, not re-denomination. i.e remove a few zeros from the end of the Zimbabwean currency, not print 1,000,000,000,000 ^trillion currency No need to get your knickers in a twist, it only makes you walk funny [/quote]Look at this cretin,are you suffering from some sort of mental trauma?.Redenomination,depending on what the central bank wants,can involve removing a few zeros. Decimilisation is one way of conducting redenomination,idiot.

Again I was only responding to Davidylan's rhetorics on "mostly non-economics sanction", by stating that one economic sanction was one too many . . .

Look at this slowpoke,the quoted comment from you came prior to Davidylan's comment so you couldn't have been responding to David's particular comment unless you had some premonition of it.Even drunks produce more coherent posts than you.

[quote author=Busy_body link=topic=145018.msg2419586#msg2419586 date=1214411380]Decimalisation as happened recently in Ghana recently can take care of their high currency denomination in the twinkling of an eye, although the calibration is still confusing to some of the Ghanaian citizens in the country over the real strength of the cedis who seems to think one cedis is now worth $1 [/quote]This ostrich fails to realise that redenomination,which according to the 'brainiac' will solve the problem in a twinkling of an eye, was only recently conducted by Zimbabwe. Stating that redenomination will solve Zimbabwe's currency problem is akin to claiming that paracetamol will cure brain tumor-you will only be making cosmetic changes to the symptoms of a deeper malaise.

I also believe the economic situation of the country would slightly improve if Britain lifts the various sanctions imposed on the country. It is the citizens that are suffering the effect of these sanctions, not Mugabe.

Improve slightly? Perhaps inflation will slow down from 1million% to 500,000% .The myth that Zimbabwe's economic problems are mainly down to sanctions is a product of ignorance. Currently,there are no trade sanctions on Zimbabwe and British companies are not legally prohibited from investing in Zimbabwe(Anglo-America just announced a planned $400m investment in Zimbabwe).

I heard the little tache he leaves is intended as some sort of simulacrum of Hitler's famous tache

Kobojunkie:
Abi oo!!! Na wa oo!!

Haven't you seen those months old Nigerian toddlers with attitude problems?No wonder they keep dying.If only they had a positive attitude towards life like tpia's grannies.Given the high rates of maternal deaths,it seems even the babies in the womb also have attitude problems.

tpia:
all of my grandparents lived to well over 80 years.

On the other hand, many of my realtively wealthy and educated relatives died before they were 70. Go figure.

Sometimes its all about attitude.

too much complainnig can even affect your health.

This your post,na wa.Its a bit like saying that since you know of a chain-smoking octogenarian,we shouldn't continue beating the drums on the dangers of smoking.

Sometimes it all about attitude?Tell that to the thousands of Nigerians who have died because they couldn't afford basic medical care.Just look at the high rates of infant mortality,maybe some of those infants had attitude problems.

Too much complaining can affect your health? Presumably,bottling our emotions inside is very helpful to our health.

@A-40

If Ivanisevic could do it in '01 against all odds,its not far fetched for Murray. There is hope!

@Cristalz

Haba,Michael and Ballack make up a duo,just like Wayne and Rooney.

According to some press reports,I can't vouch for their accuracy,Mugabe wanted to resign but his security chiefs insisted that he must continue.

@tpia

I can't make head or tail out of your rant.Here you are whining about Nigerians whining.We shouldn't complain because we live outside Nigeria,as if we don't have relatives back home.

I don't know where you got this idea that Nigerians back home don't complain as much as Nigerians living abroad.Some have even taken up arms.

Ibime:
There are only two black managers in professional football in England. Paul Ince is also the first Black British manager in the prem. When you consider that France is a more racist society than Britain, yet they have produced two top flight black coaches in Tigana and Kambuari of Valenciennes and even the President of Marseille, Papa Diouf is black, it makes you wonder.

One Times journalist,Matt Dickinson, claimed that it wasn't down to racism for,according to him,if a club's board felt a black person will be a success,they will appoint him.I thought it was an incredibly stupid comment.

Presumably,in over 100 years of football prior to Ince's appointment,the various boards have only deemed 2 'black' people-Tigana and Gullit-as worthy of coaching a top division team.

Even Tigana's appointment with Fulham was made by M'ohammed Al-Fayed(an Arab) so effectively,Gullit is the only black person deemed capable of managing a top flight English club by Caucasian board members in over 100 years.

I don't even know where this doofus-bobo got the idea that the Thatcher and Major administrations weren't criticizing Mugabe back in the 80s and 90s.

All the talk of "breached agreement" is a red herring and defies logic.People forget,its not Britain that Mugabe is punishing but the Zimbabwean people.

All our analyses of these tournaments ignore one crucial factor-fitness.It is virtually impossible,in the modern era,for a player who plays in the major leagues and who played for almost all of the club season to continue or retain his level of performance into summer tourneys.

This applies mainly to attacking players for whom fitness is most crucial.Ronaldo of Brazil had a better WC in '02 when he had a miserable club season than in '98 when he was at his peak at club level. Compare Ronaldinho '02,when he didn't always feature for PSG,to Ronaldinho '06 when he was the mainstay for Barca. What about Henry '98 compared to Henry '02?

That is why players like Toni,Ronaldo and Del Piero will struggle compared to Podolski and Villa,the latter 2 missed many club games for various reasons.

Where Hiddink has done well with Russia is to utilise their fitness advantage-Russian domestic season is on a break and is only into week 11.While many Dutch players were mentally and physically tired,the Russians looked very fresh.

Ultimately,talent usually makes up for lack of fitness but the clogged up domestic seasons in Western European leagues has been making it harder for club form to be transfered to summer tournaments.

@Pandora

Female children have bigger brains than their male counterparts? Not only is their very little,if any correlation,between brain size and intelligence,I have never seen evidence to support your claims about relative brain size.

Afam:
I believe that the WEST contributed to the problems of the opposition leader by their double standards and hypocrisy in its handling of world issues.

The rantings of a man who hasn't got a clue what he is talking about.So Tsvangirai's problems are partly a result of the West's handling of world issues? How so? Clearly,Afam is too befuddled to elaborate on this obtuse remark.

Zimbabwe was once a beautiful place even for the WEST and the whites who originally seized lands belonging to black Africans. During that time nobody complained about Mugabe and in fact until Blair came to power Britain never had issues with Mugabe. So, what went wrong?

You would think this clueless man will tell us what went wrong in order to justify his opening premise.When was Zimbabwe actually a beautiful place?Is it when Mugabe massacred the Ndebele people in the 80s,his troops excelling in cutting open the stomachs of pregnant women.

Only an astonishingly clueless person will claim that the Thatcher and Major administrations-Blair's predecessors-didn't have any problems with Mugabe.

The opposition leader in my opinion will be a puppet of the WEST after all the WEST supports him and the WEST never gets into businesses without profits even if such profits are smeared with blood of innocent people. Check out Iraq to confirm this.

I think you should broaden your knowledge of history and spare us your incredibly nescient commentary .What about the Govts of post-war Germany,Taiwan,South Korea and Japan all of which were in thrall to the West ?

An obsession with analysing every issue through an anti-Western prism renders most of your viewpoints inane.

Not surprised to see some of our Northern rubes in thrall to an Arab beast .

I'm hoping he is very successful.The fact that he is only the first Black British manager is outrageous.If my memory serves me well,I think there are no more than 3 black managers in all the major leagues(out of 72 clubs).

Compared to the other candidates mooted for the job,he is just as capable. Possible future Utd manager if he excels,though Hughes is currently ahead of the pecking order.

Una go dey surprised,Andy Murray will take Wimbledon by storm . All those wasted years of supporting Tim Henman hasn't shaken my optimism one bit

The Spanish are crapping on themselves at the prospect of meeting Italy. Hope Donadoni doesn't Bleep up this one.

The back 5 is pretty settled. My preferred midfield trio would be De Rossi,Aquilani and Ambrosini.The attack should be Toni,Di Natale and Camoranesi(someone said he plays like a goat and looks like a goat )

The Italians should play a quick attacking game. . . the Spanish are there to be slaughtered.

davidylan:
Ah that wedding? i was there too . . . who was the groom again?

The groom was one Nairalander called Davidylan. . . .you might know him.

stillwater:
The sun girls are a bad representation of Nigerian girls. They should stop it please

Bad representation?I beg to differ. . . .that girl is a quintessential home based Naija girl.

redsun:
Wise up junkie,stop being a caricature.

When I saw your link,I was stunned.Redsun,a leftist loon,quoting the Cato institute. If you bothered to read the article you will see that the views expressed are as far removed from yours.

michelin89:
Uhm? Should I remind you? I know u are just pretending!

Are you talking of Chief Mrs Morenike Davidylan? I was at the wedding. . . .it made the covers of Ovation magazine.

michelin89:
Nor be our fault say we ugly. We the wowos also deserve some love now!

Oya,lets start by showing some love towards this Sun girl. She is just as ugly as a typical Naija girl.

Jenny,long time.I came back to see if you have found the wife I told you to find for me.

davidylan:
I don't blame the sun, they can only put up pictures of those who send in their pictures and details. Methinks many girls are only using it as way to put themselves on the "market".

It seems so,considering the inclusion of personal phone numbers and email addresses(if I recall correctly).I can't believe that the Sun aren't in possession of better pictures though. However,one must bear in mind that Nigerian girls can be quite ugly so the Sun isn't exactly spoiled for choice._{hope I haven't incurred anyone's wrath}
