I ACTUALLY WEPT WHEN CHIEF AUDU OGBE SAID IN 1975, UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN WAS AMONG THE 1ST 10TH UNIVERSITIES IN THE WORLD (RATED BY THE BRITISH PRESS), NOW WE ARE NOT EVEN IN THE 1ST 50 IN AFRICA.


16 MILLION KIDS ARE IN SCHOOL RIGHT NOW, BUT ONLY 1% GETS ADMITTED, SOME OF THEM FALL OUT DUE TO LACK OF PROPER EDUCATION.

NAIRA WAS DEVALUED TO PLEASE WESTERN NATIONS TO THE DETRIMENT OF OUR OWN ECONOMY AND PEOPLE

The only Mind Provoking Facts Being Discussed is how anyone can be so s. tupid as to take ACN seriously.

JohnDoe, it is foolish and mediocre people like you who perpetrate the preponderance of mediocrity at various levels in Nigeria. So anyone who takes Ribadu serious is Stupid? and those who take Goodluck serious are the wise ones? i really weep for this generation of Nigerians who will prefer a Jonathan just because he his from the minority and "we need to show the northerners" and not because of what he has to offer the nation. Thankfully no one is compelled to vote GEJ and i surely know who not to cast my votes for in April it is a shame that come April, a lot of people will vote along your sentimental lines and forget that the progress of the country should supercede tribal and primordial sentiments.

@isuomo
Please do not let him derail this thread, don't respond to any stoopid comment, please.

Ribadu said when he was still in the EFCC, we had $60billion dollars in our foreign reserves, right now, we have less than $1 billion dollars, where did $59 billion dollars go? within 2007 and now?

it would be nice to have callers call-in on the show to ask a pertinent question like
1: What Measurable benefits have ACN brought to Lagosians in the past 12 years. that are beyond their statutory obligations catered for in the Constitution. are they even meeting their statutory obligations (satisfactorily) given the budget allocations since the past 12 years

Ribadu promise to provide 1 million housing unit annually if he's made the president come April 29th by engaging the mortgage banks and commercial banks just like Lagos is doing with some banks.
Re: Acn Campaign Flag-off Live On Tv, Mind Provoking Facts Being Discussed by honeric01(m): 1:53pm On Feb 16, 2011
@Lagger

Lagos is topping the most performing states in Nigeria, but is not the top state collecting the highest allocation, he's not even in the 1st 5 states collecting the highest allocation.

We need other states to challenge Lagos and other ACN states into performing better and not sitting back.

Just a question you could have just answered, no need tacking insults to your reply; it does not add to your intended comment (in fact it removes all evidence of tact and intelligence you are trying to put on in the first place)

[size=16pt]THE DEVALUATION OF THE NAIRA IS THE GREATEST EVIL PERPETUATED AGAINST THE NIGERIAN NATION AND PEOPLE. IT SURPASES ALL THE POGROMS WE HAVE WITNESS IN THIS COUNTRY, IN FACT IT IS ONE UN-GOING AND CONTINIOUS POGROM, SENDING MANY INFANTS & ELDERLY TO EARLY DEATH. THE EFFECT OF THIS SHAMELESS POLICY HAS TURNED SISTER'S AGAINST BROTHER'S AND SON'S AGAINST THEIR FATHER'S IN THE NAME OF MAKING A QUICK BUCK THROUGH THE DASTARDLY ACT OF KIDNAPPING.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE STOP AND  HALT THIS EVIL POLICY, WHY WOULD A COUNTRY UP TO A FEW MONTHS AGO, THAT HAS MORE IN RESERVE THAN THE PIG(Portugal, Ireland, & Greece) NATIONS CONTINUE TO WALLOW IN ABJECT AND DELIBERATE POVERTY.

WE NEED TO MAKE A STANCE NOW, IF FOREIGN EXCHANGE STARVED ZIMBABWE CAN MAKE A STANCE BY DECLARING THE AMERICAN DOLLAR AS THE OFFICIAL CURRENCY OF CHOICE IN THEIR OWN NATION DUE TO THE COLLASPE OF HER OWN CURRENCY WHY IS OUR GOD-FORSAKEN COUNTRY NOT EXERCISING HER RIGHT TO SELF DETERMINATION, A CHOICE ALL NATIONS IN THE WORLD HAS. WE HAVE SEEN BRAZIL, ARGENTINA ARE MANY SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRIES EXERCISE THIS INDELIBLE RIGHT WITHOUT RE-COURSE TO ANY SANCTIONS FROM THE POWERS THAT NEED BE.[/size]

Actually, as much as I hated what happened back over 20 years ago, I still do not see how today, after so many years of our not correctly it, we can still blame it on another country. Didn't we, just recently, devalue our naira again? What proof is the fact based on?

But knowing where it started from is the 1st step to finding a solution, the past administrative have actually deliberately refuse to correct it, this is what ACN are trying to work on.

Nope!!! The problem with the naira today has little to do with where it was 20 years ago, in my opinion. We have had ample time to correct the so called injustice since then but the recent devaluing leaves me with more questions to this fact. So, I say we check, is that claim really a fact or just conjecture masquerading as fact?

If memory serves me right, I believe up until a couple of years ago, we had the naira exchanging at two different values, one I believe as low as 20 something which was for officials, and the other as high as 118 -120 for everyone else. So, again, we have had opportunities to correct for this but have not.

Well, if that is the case, then why are we blaming some other group for it? I mean if we really believe we did it to please another, why do it again and again, and then come up to state it as fact? If anything, this disproves the initial claim.
Re: Acn Campaign Flag-off Live On Tv, Mind Provoking Facts Being Discussed by wesley80(m): 2:49pm On Feb 16, 2011
I've got to admit this is one very mature flag-off ceremony, very very encouraging and real issues are being discussed. If only I didnt know those guys speaking so eloquently were crooks also. Ribadu has got a lot to learn though, he scored a plus for saying he slept without light and a double minus for saying his house was close to the Villa IMO. All in all, quite commendable.

Currency does not drop from 1 to 1 to 1 to 200 to 1 without any country raising an eye-brow, basically it destroys savings, investment, returns on investment e.t.c why would a country that has foreign exchange coming into the coffers of the state by way of oil revenues whether oil is sold at $10 or $100.00 a barrel allow that to happen. At worst the country should embark on austerity measures which the UK government is already doing not 25,000% devaluation of her currency.

True as you said what happened 20 years ago should not be use for reasons of recent devaluations of the Naira. But then no matter how u look at the current devaluation it is within the paradigm of what an acceptable devaluation is,  a 25% devaluation as suppose to a 25,000% devaluation.

I would readily accept 50% devaluation today at 1 to 1 which would peak the naira at N1.5 to $1

I am not arguing devaluation, I am arguing the validity of the claim made in this case. Should-a-could-a-would-a . . . the point is the claimed fact seems out there with all the other attempts we make, and our politicians make, to blame others for our self-inflicted woes.
