Sloan: You should BE MOST WORRIED about the IBOS who say they are Jews! Well, these are your brothers and you better not be African otherwise, you are finished! The only thing not shown in this video is beatings and killings of Africans on the streets! I pity the Africans involved and the Ibos who keep deluding themselves as Jews with their big bags and "raiden-type" (mortal kombat) hats. You people create hatred in the midst of your immediate neighbours and are seeking to be joined to Jews who are the MOST racist humans on the planet!

Well, I am glad I am a Yoruba with history recorded as far back as man could keep written records, thousand of years BC, and I am still proud when I read the stories of our Oyo Empire, a direct descendant of Oduduwa, a prince from the ruling house of Ile-Ife! I love all my Yoruba borthers and sisters - we are all the same, there is no stratification or distinctions. I will be more than proud to live in a Yoruba Region (if Nigeria refuses to allow each nationality to become sovereign) because at the end of the day, what makes the foreign countries we live attractive is their way of life (everyone is on the same level, no oga, no driver, no servant except you can afford to pay per hour), their system which works and their infrastructure that makes life easy. All these can be created in an all Yoruba region because we have done it before and if not for the jealousy of Ibos and the north, the West today will be on the same level as the US, UK, Germany, etc. It is on record that the Yoruba West was on the same level of civilization with the current day US in the 1800s!

America got independence from Britain in 1776 after years of war and more war was fought after that and we did just the same thing in the Yoruba West! It is a pity we are trapped in this Nigeria and the only compromise might be to allow the country to remain while we devolve into regional governments! I worry that some people from some parts of Nigeria might not want these to happen or refuse to go back to their regions after the country breaks. As a Yoruba, I am tired of being in the same country and region with Ibos and I just want us to have some clear demarcation, some boundary so we don't get in each others way. You go and build Nigeria from the east, we will do it from the West and let some others build it from the north. I just can't wait only if GEJ is not lying with this conference!

i think the problem here is that you over-rate your intelligence!!
It's gaddem low; so low it has to be dug up from the ground!!!

Waste of energy and sperm!!!

Your parents would have been better childless; see ya saliva everywhere for this thread..

Okpo!!! oya spit again!!!

0lumide: There is no Niger Delta republic bruff..

Only Ijaws will remain in 9ja delta with whoever wants to go with them. Ijaws can keep their resources.. The best thing for everyone is for Nigeria to split along tribal lines.

Multi ethnic nations requires us to evolve first. Right now, we are not evolved yet. We are still dark minded fools in Nigeria. yeah we have bright minds here and there but the big picture is still chaos.



no one in your generational history has attained my level of consciousness. Go and die blind tribal fool!!!

Ethnic minded corruption haven. Gutter minded uncivilized animal!! I HATE YOU AND PEOPLE ON YOUR INTELLECTUAL LEVEL WHO FAIL TO SEE BEYOND THEIR CHOICES. IDIOTS!!

Eyop: I heard from someone that:

(1) Doing it in the car is not good because it will knock the engine of the car or make the car problematic.
(2) Doing it in the office or business environment is not good because you will have sluggish or no sales.

Has anyone ever heard of this?

Opax! All those ones na story abeg! Wetin go do the motor go do am!!! nor be because you knack na hin anything extra ordinary go happen!!!

If sexing in the car was a class; then i passed with distinction sef!!!
I done do am sotay i do for office car park in the morning... (may God forgive me)
But when dem ban tinting; omo!! i suffer depression

I don't think there is any hard and fast rule to meeting a specific set of people... but if you like to eat out; you could try Nigerian restaurants in London... especially in the evenings, that's when the few, single and working men come to eat...
Who knows, you might just be lucky... ****and remember to comport urself...no dey chop like say ... *****

Even though I walk through the thread of brothers of the bottle...., I shall not be tempted... For my budget is with me; to warn and to guide me......

jeffizy: I did'nt have earlier experience of 'convoy' riding.
It happened that we went for a club party and we were all driving fender to bumper .
All of a sudden, my guy at the front slammed the brakes and he had no brake-lights!
I rammed into his car, sending both of us spinning to the road side.
2 things happened that was amazing.
....1. The car was mashed off to the windscreen but I had not a single scratch.
....2 . The cd player was still blasting and guess what song was on?
... Eh,eh, you don hit my car, oyinbo repete by tony tetuila.
I thank God for his mercy.

peteafrik88: How I Love my South east... Anyways, am I the only one being kinda bothered about British Gas price hikes and not to talk of Southern Electric Na until I start burning firewood, huh

Please where in the south east? I'm kindda having difficulties locating Africa restaurants. You know any? I asked ochukoccna..but he's being stingy with the info

ochukoccna: Are you in the North East sir?
No die O!
3 weeks on flour food and rice?
You don endure, I gave up the next day I arrived the UK
Thank God I located Naija food in time as jedi wan start dey catch my bumbum
Though now,I cook it instead of buying
Infact had yam plus sauce [made of real pepper] this evening


Will look into that boss

Bros i dey south east oh. Canterbury to be precise. Where the post code na?

ochukoccna: Does anyone know the official CBN rate of the naira to pounds?
I made a withdrawal today using my Mastercard and I did a quick calculation after reading the message GTBank sent me on the funds removed
Upon conversion from Naira, I'm seeing I was charged 266.47 per pound
This is so pathetic for the black market rate is hardly different to this yet banks officially get their supplies from the CBN

I made a withdrawal this evening too; same exchange rate; 266.61 Them even charge me N420
When CBN exchange rate is about 250. And to think i bought black market for 252 less than a month ago before leaving Naija.
God dey!

ochukoccna: So on point
There's a Naija restaurant I eat out at
Swallow meals i.e. pounded yam and Afang is £8 ,extra swallow without beef is £1. Add £1 table water and get £10 at a sitting
Rice and beaf without dodo is £6, peppersoup is £5, Star beer is £3.50 [the thing shack pass oyinbo water beer ...I leave you to do the math on how much a weekly spend will cost
All the above cos I had not moved in
Spent £300 for 8 nights in a bread and breakfast before getting accommodation

Went shopping at an African food store 2 days back and spent a little over £40 getting raw foodstuff [pepper, okra, onions, 2 moderately sized yam tubers, about 11 pieces of plantain [ripe and unripe],2 packs of dry fish and garri
Along with £3.60 diced beef [for stew sauce] ,£3.86 Tesco whole chicken, £0.29 salt, 1kg spaghetti for £0.98 and £3.50 olive oil I'm a little over £50 and doubt I can finish all the above within 2weeks save for maybe get extra beef and chicken
Now add another 1kg spaghetti and then buying rice and see the beauty in Ada's thinking
Far cheaper to cook for yourself

Abeg send me the postcode of the naija resturant biko...i have not swallowed for 3 weeks now....i'm dying here
I haf tayad of all this flour food and rice!!
Cooking at home is really better but where i wan see dry fish and garri buy and okporoko too?
As for the people wey dey do take away orders...na dem sabi!!! I spent £49 pounds in Tesco two weeks ago and groceries still dey house; to each man, his own!!
I dey wait for the postcode oh!!!

nitrogen: Mehn! This CFA isn't beans o. God dey!

***sits on the sides and records the convo whilst sipping Baileys Irish cream...

I must hammer!!! The sound of the engine alone can give one an erection!!
Chei!!! See moro

I never said you implied so... i'm just saying; "the fact that she's minister of aviation does not mean she's involved in the sham"

That's all I've been trying to say!

RixExpat: Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is not really a separate field in risk management. It is simply an approach to risk management where we look at the risk facing a firm from the top down (you can call it a top-down approach) as against a bottom-up approach that considers the various categories of risks such as market, credit, operational risks, etc in silos. ERM is akin to risk from a portfolio or enterprise perspective (the totality of risks a firm is facing) where we consider the correlations and cross correlations between the various risk categories. Both approaches have their strengths and limitations and are covered in the two most popular risk certifications (FRM and PRM), so you do not need any form of special training in ERM. What you need is a risk management training.

Naa... i meant Energy Risk management man!
I know all about the FRM and PRM...it's Energy Risk that i had in mind.....

deenee: @ manie.....I can tell you for certain that Stanbic IBTC equity fund and ARM discovery fund have out performed the Nigerian All share index on several occasions even during the stock market meltdown. You can goggle it to confirm my claim.

As indicated in my earlier post, investing in mutual funds has its pros and cons but giving the whole investment a bad name is not appropriate especially for uninformed investors. I have consistently invested in a mutual fund as part of my entire portfolio for over five years and the returns (dividend payout and capital appreciation) has outperformed the NSE all share index.

Also not every body can analyse and take investment decisions regarding equities.

I keep telling people that the inflation rate we use in Nigeria is very flawed especially when we are all aware that data used to compute it is not accurate. The rate of inflation should be determined by a combination of consumer index, balance of trade payments,LIBOR etc and not the apex bank unilaterally setting it.

Finally go through my post again and you will note that I have include "continuous learning" as a criteria for the investment curve to be complete and YES one needs to invest long term in a good and tested mutual fund albeit in small tranches if a sustainable ROI is to be achieved.

I rest my case!

Bros eh!!!
LIBOR? to calculate Nigeria's inflation rate? Hmmm
..na wa oh!!!

Sagamite: Whoever bought the Mercedes for N100m ($600K) is milking your bank. Period!

It is not sensible to use such to justify another looting.

I ain't trying to justify shyte!
In all your excitement you just missed the point!
"There's no proof the minister was involved in the sham" QED!

Sagamite: You are a person!

Even though I don't know, and I have not decided, if I believe she knew or not, your logical excuse of why she cannot be involved is moronic and demonstrates how I keep on saying products of a failed education system cannot reason.

So because Abacha controlled the whole economy means he did not coordinate with people in government to loot?

Slow down mate..slow down...i sense emotions are running high here but, logic should come 1st.
About 3 years ago; the bank i used to work for purchased a Mercedes G-Guard for the M.D; (on his request oh). the vehicle was just short of 100M so some bullet proof cars do really cost that much.
I'm not guessing because i was actually copied in the e-mails i had to source for best insurance offers for the "vehicle"
Now; the M.D didn't give a hoot how much the car cost or the transaction dynamics; he just requested for the specifications. But i very much doubt that he would receive kickbacks from the purchase.
Why?
Because alternative (not too obvious) means of making money are available to him.
My point;
We do not have sufficient evidence to say the minister has in anyway profited from purchase of this asset. Even if she ends up using the car....it's still not enough evidence...
My 2 kobo....

RixExpat: Hello FRM Candidates,

I want to have an idea about the number of candidates preparing for the FRM Exam as I am planning to start an FRM tutorial center here in Lagos. If the number is reasonable, I will approach some other high profile individuals and prospective tutors who are also certified FRMs and some of whom are also CFA charter holders so we can commence an FRM tutorial center in Lagos. Lectures may not commence before the next 2013 November exam considering the logistics that need to be put in place but we can provide mentoring for those who may need that for the November exam.

Regards.

Brilliant idea.. i have friends in Lagos that will definitely be interested. Will you be offering classes in ERM too? That seems to be the next big thing....How can you be contacted?

***in Mr. Ibu's voice; chi eji go!******

My name enter a few times for boarding school....then you were considered a big boy if you break the rules so boys dey willingly make noise... >>>fast foward to S.S1>>>>my parents had to change me from boarding school cos according to dem; them no sure say na dem born me again....(i done already wayward by JSS3)........
Na so dem carry me go Command Ikeja... i think say na normal normal...so when the class prefect threatened to write my name down; i just laugh am.....when it was time to call the names na hin i realise wetin i do myself; na some idle soldiers dem call make dem flog us!!!
Choi..see sweat!!!
When it got to my turn; one soldier (idi-amin) called me to stand aside and the following conversation took place;
Idi-Amin; Na you be new student abi?
Me; Yes sir
Idi-Amin; Okay...you think say here na your papa village abi? wey u go dey shout like monkey?
Me; But sir; Why did you call my father....
Idi-Amin; Sharap!!! na me go baptise your nyarsh!! oya hold the table...
Me; (takes position).....thinking; i go chest this your cane!
Idi-Amin; hmmm..betta nyarsh...... raises his cane.. and brings it down on my backside!!!
Me; ...initially there was no pain......then i felt a sharp pain shoot up my spine as the 2nd stroke was about to land....before i could react..the 2nd one had landed on the same spot....>>>>>omo...i take off commot from class>>>>shouting and crying at the same time and drawing the attention of the whole SS1 block; My father is a general!!!, my father is a general.....(see yawa)
After the whole drama; the class prefect came to apologize; crying and begging for forgiveness....
i just tell am make she forget am; but warned her sternly never to write my name again!!!

If say i dey dia; i for slap the guy join when the girl finish. How can you kneel down for a woman and set face for am to whooze you?
All because of why? The Kpekus get fridge inside?
Mtchew....honestly if na Naija; boys dem go mend the boy for f**king up; when dem finish with am...he go dey forced to retaliate for the girl body.....

Personally; i think this prostitution thing is over hyped. When you spend a lot of time someone; you naturally tend to bond with them. That's why it's not so uncommon to see some colleagues sharing secrets that they would not dare voice out in the home front.
People have flings and extra marital affairs. Most times not because they are compelled to, but because of emotional tilts(even if it temporary)
The truth is; a woman who will sleep with a customer cos she is a banker and needs deposits, will sleep with a producer to get roles if she is an actress, or sleep with Judge if she is a lawyer, or sleep with a doctor if she is a nurse... i mean, it just happens everywhere...It's more about the individual not the industry.
I still have a lot of respect for female bankers, and will i think less of a lady banker because she sleeps with a customer? NO!
Not until i have walked in her shoes, and felt where it pinches!

My 2 pennies...

@OP ah dunno***spreads hands and shrugs****
Maybe them dey thief too much ...just saying
