I am taking this opportunity to commend my personal choice for 2011 FOREIGN AFFAIRS POSTER OF THE YEAR 2011.

There was no official election in this section https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-825481.0.html, but. . .

CAP28.  You are my choice.

I thought we all could take this opportunity to mention the posts or threads that were most memorable or funniest or most meaningful, etc., to us.  You could also agree or disagree with my choice of Best Poster of 2011 and select your own.  Feel free to mention some worthy runners-up too.

You don't get a car or cash award, so no acrimony necessary. I would love to re-visit some of the discussions from last year, so feel free to give a summary or provide links to the ones you especially enjoy.

I nominate myself

MORPHEUS24

cap28

cap28 and Horus

What of memorable threads, discussions and specific quotes?

I also have to mention the indescribable and enigmatic Buzugee. 

The Morpheus24-Cap28 Feud was something to behold too!    How're they getting along so far this year? 

Cap28

He makes good observations but some of his ideas that seek to explain reasons for the cause of his observations are closer to the realms of severe insanity

Hmm but do we need apologists for useless and corrupt politicians talking trash all over NL?

NLers - you decide.

We need to distinguish between conspiracy theories and actual foreign matter

My sentiments exactly!

From the votes it looks like Cap28 is winning. When do we crown him the winner so that people can know how long they have to change their minds?

hehehehe.  I've already crowned him.

The Indisputable Champion Analyst of World History & Diplomacy, Current Affairs and International News = CAP28. 

I actually didn't intend to force an election on us.  I simply wanted to reminisce over the past year and acknowledge posters that I feel contributed immensely to this section.  

But if majority of people want an official (s)election, someone else can take over the reins.  You'll need to pick a date for end of nomination and simply count the results and declare from there.

  You were my choice for Politics Section Poster of 2010, remember.  But you're slighyly less active there now.  (I don't blame you - NL can be more trouble than it's worth.)  Of course, the subsidy removal is really all anyone is talking about.  I myself have talked to family in Lagos every day since the New Year - there is some major sense of dread, bro.  Prices of some food/commodities have shot up 3-fold -  the boys are restless.   Also, you should check out the Kaduna Nzeogwu thread.  I'm not sold on him, but If I remember correctly, you and a few other posters I respect think well of him.

Yeah i remember that, thanks again for your support.
i've more or less given up on the politics section because majority of the posters on there are not living in the real world.

not trying to toot my horn or anything but i remember warning many nairalanders about the coming recolonisation of africa and all i got was abuse.  All i heard constantly was "why are you always blaming the white man for your problems?" now it is crystal clear that this same white man that these dullards have been defending demanded for the removal of this fuel subsidy.

like you i've been in touch with my family back home and they are all  in shock over what GEJ and his bandwagon of criminals have done - we can only wait and see how this is going to play out.  Hopefully nigerians will refuse to accept this act of extreme callousness. 

Kaduna Nzeogwu is my hero and i have remained fascinated by the extreme courage, intelligence and discipline that he showed during one of the most turbulent periods in our history.

Had he along with the other young majors succeeded with the January 66 coup, i beleive nigeria would by now have become an economic succcess story just as Libya was before the satanic invasion of NATO.

may his soul continue to rest in peace.

have you got the link for his thread?

catch you later, hope you are well though.

morpheus24:

Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

morpheus -wakey wakey!!!

how are you enjoying the fuel subsidy removal and how does it feel to be betrayed by your hero Sanusi? - remember i warned you about him a few months back. I told you that he takes his instructions from the IMF not the other way around - hope you've been reading his comments regarding this subsidy removal.

Hope you know Sanusi would never be where he is today if he were not collaborating with all of the international banking cartels.

He has spent the past couple of months lying to all of you about his stance on the devaluation of the naira - he only did this because the elections had not yet taken place, now that his fellow IMF agent GEJ has succeeded in fooling nigerians into voting him into office he can now revert back to his true position.

Isnt it about time you stopped allowing yourself to be bamboozled by these crooks?

ps - the devaluation of the naira is coming soon - so hope you've started tightening your belt.

You can't have a civil arguement with someone who has convinced himself that the IMF and World bank are secret imperious organizations that are bent on controlling world resources and forcing their economic policies down the throat of suffering massess of people via their puppets. Not possible!

You also cannot convince a closet socialist/marxist ideologue who masks his political and economic views under the guise of empathy for the suffering masses of his homeland while enjoying the lifestyles of the same economies he advocates against.  I am not going to bother bantering economic policies with you. Its a waste of valuable time.  I will however state my stance on the fuel subsidy issue:

1. I am in agreement with the macro economic implications that Nigeria will face down the line if it continues to subsidize consumption over production potentials. (The opposing arguement being there are no real subsidies being rendered to the people in the first place)

2. The IMF and World bank did not create good governance and corruption problems in Nigeria  which are the underlying issues fueling the subsidy  removal backlash

3. Government should not be in the business of building or maintaining refineries. They have shown time and time again that they are grossly inefficient and ineffective in managing any enterprise in Nigeria.

4. A step down approach to reducing fuel subsidies over a given period of time should have been the most ideal process given that on the other side of the arguement government has not demonstrated its ability to manage or implement structural policies that would create the enabling environment necessary to facilitate economic growth vis a vis power/electricity generation,oil refining and infrastruture to convince the populous of the benefits of their subsidy removal agenda.

Right Cap28.
Lamido Sanusi a student of ABU and  University in Sudan, who studied mostly Arabic and philosophy is an agent of the dubious organization known as the IMF.  An affluent grand son of the Sultan of Sokoto who was obviously groomed step into the high ranks of First bank in Nigeria via his family connections is in cahoots with capitalist thugs.

An admirer of one of the greatest communists of our time, Chairman Mao, paying homage to his idol by often dressing like the Chinese dictaror was hand picked by a bunch of thieving corporate cartels to sell Nigeria off to them and put its people in perpetual servitude.  That about sums up the bloke. Did I miss anything?

your conspiracies know no bounds  *Shaking my head*

Isn't it about time you stopped hiding out in self imposed exile and come fight the good fight against the governemnt you speak against and help us usher in our new revolutionary marxist government that will serve the people, drive the puppeteers and the profiteerers away and bring forth this new egalitarian dream you have for your HOME Country.

Regurgitating vile sentiments you read in propagandist books isn't doing much for me. I am waiting to see you reporting from the streets of Nigeria!

Until then.

All Hail Comrade  Cap28!

Behold!

Real African renaissance men that are transforming the continent not complaining about it.

It's unlikely that Cap will make his way back to his home country. He blames white people for making him leave his country but his destination is ironic. Hahahaha. Soon he will tells us that he is on an undercover mission to topple the whites on their own land.

cap28:

Is there any black run country in the world today that is not under the control of western international banking and corporate interests?

The one thing you have failed to understand is that every single african country is run by black african puppets who have been placed in power by white imperialist interests.

Nigeria is run and controlled by Shell bp, exxon mobil, chevron as well as the IMF and the world bank - the nigerian black puppet govt serves these interests not the interests of the people this is why people like myself had to leave.

All Hail Comrade  Cap28!

you are in for a very harsh awakening if you still havent figured out what the IMF and the world bank's motives are in africa.

i dont mask my views under the guise of marxism - infact i dont subscribe to any western political  ideology as none were designed for the economic or psychological empowerment of african peoples.

In response to your points:

1 where is the proof that the nigerian govt are actually subsidising petroleum products - General Buhari says that nigeria has never subsidised petrol and Professor Tam David West (former petroleum minister during buhari's tenure)  reiterated this is an interview in december last year so who do we beleive? I know who i beleive.

2 If the IMF didnt back corruption in nigeria - why was Buhari (who refused to implement SAP and borrow even more loans from the western banking cartels) removed and replaced with IBB who was known to the CIA as a drug baron? 

Was it a coincidence that as soon as IBB assumed office the first thing he did was to borrow loans from the IMF and implement SAP?

Why was IBB allowed to remain in power for 8 years and why did drug trafficking and assassinations go through the roof during his tenure?

3 how come all four of nigeria's refineries were working during buhari's tenure? 

4 during Buhari's tenure various economic proposals to encourage economic growth were put before western creditors by buhari's economic team but they were either ignored or blocked and replaced with the recommendation that nigeria implement SAP.

what has studying arabic in sudan got to do with being a western stooge - the saudi royal family, the qatar royal family and the entire arab league are western puppets
the saudi and qatari royal families are all aristocratic muslim families - i dont get where you are trying to go with that point.

I dont know if you know this but the elites nearly always work in collaboration with western capitalists - they do so because they have a common interest - to hold on to their wealth, power and status in society.

The Saudi royal family are america and britain's greatest arab ally - this is why their brutal regime remains untouched despite the so called arab spring going on throughout the middle east.

whether Sanusi likes to spend his spare time dressing up as Mao or Pol Pot of Cambodia is neither here nor there - the fact of the matter is that he is an agent of neo colonialism.  He lied to the nigerian people that the naira would not be devalued but is in the process of doing just that. by the way it is still possible to have two opposing ideological viewpoints at the same time after all China is still under communist rule but practices capitalist economic policies.

how do you propose that i start a communist revolution in a country blinded by tribalism, greed and corruption.  in order for a revolution to be successful there must be a strong sense of nationalism bonding majority of the populace together, it is very hard to engender nationalism amongst a divided people - this is what the great Nzeogwu discovered.

^^^
My points exactly. Continious commentary with no objective. In Cap 28's world, Africa is required to figure out what works best for it without any frame of reference (except of course for the one that pits it against any western ideology, philosophy or economics).

At least Boko haram has an objective. What's yours?

Let me guess. Your commentary is to inform us of evil empires that exist to destroy us and your mission is to emancipate the western educated slave minds of Africans (cause we are in too deep) and we will take hold of our destiny, rid ourselves of every thing "western", formulate completely new idealogies seperate from these foreign influences and chart the "African" course until we become equals in world affairs.

Right Cap. This coming from someone who dresses, lives, speaks and spends "Western"

All I hear is barking!!

^^^^
i noticed you didnt answer any of my questions - 

africa figured out what was best for it a long time ago - In the 1980s african countries got together and drafted an economic plan entitled: the lagos plan of action for the economic development of africa:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagos_Plan_of_Action

Sadly the western nations blocked all attempts by african nations to implement it.

You are very resistant to knowledge and that is what will lead to your downfall. 

good luck mate

So until we do away with western influence will we ever be able to implement plans that were formed 30 + years ago. While we are waiting for this great paradigm shift in the "african" way of doing things, others are not merely talking a good fight they are actually doing real on the ground work.
