Your job for Goldman dey come.I have talked to the CEO of Goldman Nwankwo & Sons Ltd,Aba,Abia State

I no go come the match,I dey hide from Home Office.I hear say they wan raid the match capture some people

@Debosky

I totally agree with u,anything outside of 1st position is bullsxx. That is why I am questioning why Arsenal are busy gunning for 4th place with Bolton

We are putting that right this season.

Good luck in your battle with Bolton and Porstmouth

Maybe people come expecting Pound Sterling to be dropping out of the sky.

Another problem some Nigerians may have is if they come to London and don't have enough money to go out and enjoy themselves or their hosts may not have either the time or money to take them out

In some ways the UK is a disappointment.I had the misfortune to use the Tube in my first journey here during rush hour and I could barely breathe in the train as it was jampacked.To make matters worse,someone picked my pockets .All my life in Nigeria,I have never been pickpocketed.I was complacent because I thought I was in a crime free zone  

Houses here are very small.They remind me of our Boys Quarters in Nigeria.I sometimes look in disbelief at the size of our house wondering whether our neighbours stole part of it.By the way I won't recognise my neighbours if I saw them

i don't know how u guys see this but how many times do I have to come across someone with horrible teeth.What's the matter?the 4th biggest economy in the world and they can't even fix their teeth

Why is everyone spitting on the floor?U walk the streets and u can't help but notice the disgusting sight of heavily concentrated phlegm

Overall though,it is a fantastic place.It is gradually taking over from NY as the world's leading financial centre and I would rather be here than anywhereelse.

OBJ had assets sure,but strangely if those assets were that viable ,why where they not showing up in his personal finances?

He should use the same expertise he used in turning around his finances to become a consultant for the likes of Ford Motors.

For God's sake,forget Carlos Ghosn,Jack Welch,this guy is the real deal

U know when u are on top of the League,u can afford to lose to Southend

Wait a minute,u don't know because u are not on top

Hey it must be really tough engaging in those 4th place battles with the likes of Spurs,Bolton and Portsmouth

Where did it all go wrong.Like someone said earlier,this Arsenal transition is beginning to look like one of those IBB's transition.When Man U had a similar transition,we never finished outside the top 3

Repeat after me;12 points clear,12 points clear

Rooney's goal was fantastic.A moment of genius

While Arse were struggling,we were busy scoring more goals than the ref could cancel

loyika:
By the way 4play, its UEFA, not EUFA . Say it after me, U. E.F.A. Again!! U. E. F. A. As Pastor Chris would say "Keep saying it!! keep saying It!!" Thats a good boy

Hmmmm!?

GOONER 89

However its spelt,some folks haven't won it

Keep saying it ,treble treble treble

A few years ago,it was normal for the Govt to announce the budget for NITEL going into billions of naira every year.Yet to get a line cost u at least 100,000 naira,it used to be a big deal then to have a mobile phone,people will be staring at u if u had one

Now however at no cost to Nigeria,the private sector has taken over and brought down the cost of a line to as little as 1,000 naira.We now have 27 million lines connected

@mukina2

What are u doing on our thread,did u not read the title

Keep dreaming that we will lose the league

Unemployment in each of these nations,Libya and Saudi Arabia, are about 30 percent .I wonder why anyone wants to use these nations as an example we should emulate

Their high per capita is down to the fact that they have massive oil resources with very small populace,in Libya's case 1.5 million

if u think that corruption is not prevalent amongst the Saudi royal family or the Libyan regime,then think again

As for Japan,the postal services is not known to be a massive employer and the Japanese state sector as a whole is far smaller than the Nigerian as a proportion of GDP.As for its public status,check this-[url]http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,3-1826045,00.html

Why would there be moves to privatise it if it was better off in the public sector.

It would have been privatised a long time ago if not for political reasons and not economic reasons

Sure the state must provide public services; health services,education,policing e.t.c but that should not be seen as a way of cutting down unemployment.

One of Nigeria's biggest problems is that the public sector is already bloated

The hallmark of a competent Govt is a slimlinned public sector.

If u think of it,with a populace of 140 million and revenues of about $40 billion per annum,if the Govt were to employ 30% of Nigerians using every single dime they have to pay salaries.Each worker will earn on average $1,000 per year,that is 140,000 naira per year.

My point is the Govt can't make a meaningful dent in the unemployment problem even if they honestly wanted to,they can't solve the problem by employing people.They have to solve it by enabling others employ people

it will actually exacerbate the situation by wasting scarce resources

The Govt cannot and should not attempt to deal with unemployment by providing jobs themselves

Interesting article in Transcorps main asset -http://odili.net/news/source/2007/jan/28/211.html

My biggest fear is that when that stock eventually implodes,it will bring down the whole of the stock market since it will undermine confidence in the capital market

All the state needs to do is provide the enabling environment for businesses to flourish

The state has no biz in biz

They should keep taxes low,stop subsidies,reduce trade barriers and regulation ,provide a good justice system and security

The public sector in Nigeria is too big,it is the private sector not the public sector that should provide the jobs necessary for development

hang on ,does thunder kill people?

@A-40

What is a great team doing in 4th place?

Anyway bear it in mind that we are on top of the league and u guys are 12 points behind us

Fact of the matter is,I would rather we be in the position we are in than in yours

@LoverBwoy

Na the Carling Cup u dey use boast?

Are u on top of the league?

Arsenal are going to grow rich on replays at the Reebok.Keep consoling yourself

Onye ori.Na u them suppose dey run from

See all the racists lining up.

Its true that most Indians don't hold black people in high regard but think of it who does,Arabs?Chinese?Whites?


Are u going to declare enmity with the whole of the human race,hey Africans don't like each other

So put away your racist bull and get real

Come to think of it,every race is actually antagonistic towards others
