4play,
If Bear Sterns was bailed out, why cant homeowners be helped as well? Do you mean that million of homes that are about to be foreclosed do not have wider implications like CDOs and credit default swaps held by Wall Street?

Kobo,
Summary of argument,
Mr Obama should be held responsible for Mr. Wright's remarks. Obama is a manifestation of Mr. Wright. Neither can you hold Mr Wright's wife nor his kids  responsible, but Obama  should be   held responsible. Your spiritual leader grooms and molds your character. Hillary cannot be held responsible for Bill Clinton's actions. This is how you want me to understand? Where is equality in your thought process as it pertains to this argument. Your lopsided view is very glaring.

Pat Robertson's assertions that gays and lesbians were responsible for hurricanes are in the bible, while Mr Wright's assertion that a nation that  uses inordinate power against other nations  is not in the bible.

Before lazy ass dumb Americans, now you can be employed, but still lazy. which one u dey. Numbers dont lie, but  you are entitled to your unbending convictions even when the facts are  made known to you.  Sometimes, we need to do our own thinking, besides what our political inclination spits out for us.

I understand if you are an obama supporter  but from this point where I stand, I am for people accepting the consequence of their actions and in this case, no one but obama himself came out to say the man was his spiritual leader, not his pastor or reverend BUT spiritual leader. I would expect a Harvard educated lawyer would understand the magnitude of such a statement and so I judge him by his own words. I don't know if catholics would die for the pope so I do not understand what you mean when you say I believe Obama is a caliber of person who would die for his so called spiritual leader.

I don’t know where you get the  impression that Obama’s actions are tele-guided by Mr. Wright and he should be responsible for another man’s actions. The only way I can understand you   is that you are playing got cha with Obama?  Or I  thought that he was impeccable , now is the time  to pay for his pastor’s actions. You are judging him based on his spiritual leader’s utterances even though Obama is a politician and his pastor is a religious leader. Obama is not running on moral right issues, he has not said that his religious views would be paramount in his presidency.  You were of   the opinion that people who call someone their spiritual leader would go  to the extent of dying for that person. Pew research polls also showed that most people did not hold him accountable  and that he handled the case very well.


Pat Robertson is not Racist. He just may be termed a homophobe BUT if you look in the Bible, the scriptures do refer to people who practice such as abominations. You are trying to link issues without actually processing them first. The Christian Religion believes it is ok to consider Gays as sinners. Heck, even liars are sinners and so Pat Robertson  may have well said that Liars cause hurricanes and that is still acceptable. If you however decide in your own life that being gay is not sin but lying is sin, then that is your personal view and not everyone elses and so your word on what is sin is not final.

I wish that you would be more objective than sentimental. Let the standard you are holding Obama to be applied to other people.  In your view,   its OK for religious leaders to say disparaging things about a group of people so long as it’s not a race, how about his utterances against feminism?  Pat Robertson DID  NOT call gays and lesbians sinners, but he blamed them for hurricanes. Jerry Farwell blamed gays and lesbians for 9/11. Where is it  in your bible?  Im not  sure that Mr. Wright singled  out a particular race even though  I do not subscribe to his remarks

Universal healthcare cause I am already sick and tired of paying to feed and cloth LAZY americans who have come to consider working people their slaves.
Maybe I did not understand what you meant by this? What has universal healthcare got to do with, paying taxes, feeding and clothing LAZY American? I assumed that there might be a correlation in your argument.

First of all, you sense wrong. I just do not believe that I should contribute to paying for insurance for people who are lazy. If you knew half about me, you may have a better understanding of where I am coming from and why I can say such.


You have to really understand that most people who don’t have insurance are employed. Here are some numbers for you to put in perspective.  About 47million Americans  do not have  health insurance  which represent  about 16% of the population while  unemployment rate is 5% of the population  which represents about 15 million people. So  if all the  lazy dumb ass Americans  are uninsured what happened to about hard working 32 million Americans  who still don’t have coverage? Let’s maintain the status quo is no solution
 
1) You assume that America should somehow have the same number of insured people as in other developed nations without considering that since this is a democracy, it should not be about what other nations are doing but what the american people vote for instead.
 
Because there is no cost benefit for spending more and getting less. If my neighbor spends less on his business and gets more benefits and we are in the same line of business. I will be dammed if I did not follow his system.  America spends 16% GDP on health and yet those countries you talked about are ranked higher in Human Development Index. They have better quality of life and live longer. If I  had an option, do you want  to live longer and pay more taxes or live shorter and pay less taxes? I will choose the former. Besides, some of these countries are saving money by spending less on health with better results. When  did democracy turn into letting people go without health while it’s a crime to drive without auto insurance? If its about saing money, why does the govt have to pick up the tab when people with no insurance  go to emergency room?


You also assume that the reason why companies like GM and form are going under because of their health care obligations is somehow cause not all americans are insured. Do you mind clarify on that please .

Some people like you are saying that the  current system is working and American biggest companies are saying that our health care
obligations to our workers are sinking us into desolation

BEAR STERNS was bailed out. Sure but Bear Sterns actually is expected to pay back every dollar of that money with interest.


Could you tell me how Bear Stern would pay back? And  why its not a   double standard to ask someone to buckle up while a bail-out package   was handed out to  a corporation?

I don't know about you but I happen to believe strongly in individual responsibility.


   Where is personal responsibility on the part of Wall Street who got a bail out? Did you not see any favoritism in the manner that deal was handled? Federal Reserve had   not been lending investment bank until Bear Stern’s near collapse. Did you not see any conflict of interest that CEO of JP Morgan Chase is also a board member of NYC Federal Reserve and deliberated on a big bail out that would benefit his company? Where is personal responsibility that the same guys who got folks into these troubles decided to use taxpayer’s money to compensate for their mistakes?
Home owners did not cause these troubles, because most them were stirred into these sub primes by some fraudulent and unregulated practices.  Most of these  lenders  did not know much about ARM and acted like patients being told by their doctors to take a “better” form of treatment instead of the one   you wanted.  It’s like your lawyer telling you to present your case in a different way than what you would have wanted. The point is that the only way   most of these bets would work for companies that invested in them would be to reset the mortgage to go up instead of it  to go down.   How could  you explain the fact that your    auto loan financier took a gamble that your loan would go up so that you would be unable to pay and as a result, he would win bets on your  default. So  he is making money on bets because of  you default and you are still indebted heavily to him?   Home owner are willing to pay for their mistakes and Wall Street got compensation, where is the burden being shared?   Most home owner would not mind being transferred to a fixed rate mortgage. By the way home owners are tax paying citizens, so their  taxed money was also used to bail- out  a failing company which contributed t to heir misfortunes.

If these people do not understand what it means to make good decisions and what the consequence of bad decisions they make can be, then the world should buckle up and expect worse. I believe allowing people deal with and get a better understanding of what their day to day decisions when it comes to making financial decisions may potentially have on the economy of the world, then we can easily move from the way things have been in the past to better financial decisions from the ground up in the futture.

Better decision on the side of Wall Street who always tells the govt that   unregulated markets would be the antidote to economic crisis, yet beckons on the  same govt to  come to their aid whenever their economic experiment runs amuck. What may touch this economy severely  might be  the unregulated   credit default swaps estimated to worth about $45  trillion.

So you believe that Obama is a caliber of a person who would die for his so  called spiritual leader? This is a comparison of extremes. Your post infers that Obama's leaning will make him die for a cause his spiritual leader believes in. You are still of the of the opinion that Obama is not a man of his principles, that his pastor wields more influence in his life than any other person. I think u might be reading from a far- right mindset. America is less Liberal than Kennedys, and less  Right leaning than Rush Limbaugh.  George Bush was endorsed by Pat Robertson who said that gays and lesbians were responsible for Hurricanes. Robertson also likens feminism to women killing their  kids,  witchcraft ,leaving their husband and becoming lesbians.  He also endorsed Rudi Giuliani. Jerry Farewell also endorsed Bush even though he had blamed gays and lesbians for 9/11.

I sense your pride of accomplishment that people who do not have health insurance are lazy dumb ass even when people without health insurance coverage are most likely to be in red states than blue states. Also, status quo is not a  solution. Why is that America is the only country amongst developed nations that has the highest number of uninsured citizens even though it has the highest health budget amongst developed countries?   You may also think that you have  an insurance coverage until you have a critical health problem like the couple I saw on Oprah, working class family, suburban, but their daughter has cancer and their house was about to be foreclosed. Health insurance is not an issue, yet US manufacturing companies like GM, Ford and Chrysler are going under because of their health care obligations. When people without health insurance end up in  ER, the govt still picks up the tab, so  why not preventive care instead of curative care?

^{About the economy, I say again, it is americans like you and I that got us into this mess. Like the tech bubble, it is not in our favour for us to try to shift this problem to another sector and then watch that bubble burst some years from now AGAIN}  
Your grasp of the economy has to transcend  beyond Bill O'reilly and Rush  Limbaugh shows in order to understand what is really going  on or u are going to keep blaming  normal folks for messing up  your country.

Govt gave a bail out fund to Bear Stearns without getting anything in return unlike the British govt that took over Northern Rock Bank. The reason why there is a credit crunch is not that credit card holders are defaulting on payments, but because Wall Street was betting heavily on mortgage defaults in order to make money eg Goldman Sachs invested heavily on Sub-prime mortgage securities and betted also that people would not pay up. Just like giving out loans and praying that your borrowers would not pay up because you took a bet on their defaults.  Companies are afraid to do business and lend to one another since they don’t know how much some of these companies are involved in sub-prime. Also these practices are not covered under the law; they come as credit default swaps which act as insurance but   unregulated. Now, when that company went under, the government came to their rescue. Federal Reserve had to break a 1913 status in order to bail out Bear Stearns because the CEO of JP Morgan Chase is a board member of Federal Reserve Bank, New York.  This Spartan boy attitude “ I can handle it” does not hold water since guys who made mistakes are having lap dances and popping champagnes in  Vegas  Casinos and Emperors Vip  Clubs while  average  Joes and Britneys are gnashing their teeth.  If people lose their houses, surrounding  properties plummet in value, no city tax, not county and state taxes, decline in spending, everybody loses. So no action is not a solution. McCain must wake up to these realities.

Does it mean that you can agree with your spiritual leader all the time? Does it also mean that your spiritual leader directs your life?  You are duty bound to  agree with some of  the views of your spiritual leader unless you are  a fool.  Hillary could  not have won   in NYC had her husband not being a president. She had no connection and experience in NYC and yet you think she has done a very good job ,  what now makes her think that she is repository of experience or that experience is exclusive to Clintons? My point is that it’s very easy to disagree with your pastor than your spouse. By your argument, what Mr Wright said were social, economic and political issues,so Obama is less inclined to agree with him on these issues.

AS per McCain, could someone tell me what is his health care policy? I like him on his steadfastness on some issues, like immigration, ethics and Iraq policy, but they also have their negatives. He thinks that market can correct itself even Bears Stein needed a massive govt bail out in order to stay afloat. He needs to differentiate himself from George Bush who thinks that once his mind is made up, he can't change it.

Kobojunkie,
  A wife can disagree  with her husbanbd not be held responsible, while a candidate can be held responsible for his pastor's utterances? So,  I will be held responsible for what my pastor say in his/her pulpit. Is it also possible to hold me reponsible for my Professor's marxist's  leaning even when I subscribe to free trade.?Your post infers that Hilary is more likely to be diagreable with her husband than Obama disagreeing with his pastor. It also implies that Obama is  more likely to listen to his pastor than his wife. I am  a Catholic who thinks that some of the teachings i imbibed during my Cathecism classes were/ are fallacy eg it will be much harder for non Catholics to go to heaven than Catholics.
  A wife can disagree with her husband not be held responsible, while a candidate can be held responsible for his pastor's utterances? So, I will be held responsible for what my pastor says in his/her pulpit. Is it also possible to hold me responsible for my Professor’s Marxist leaning even when I subscribe to capitalism? Your post infers that Hilary is more likely to be disagreeable with her husband than Obama disagreeing with his pastor. It also implies that Obama is more likely to listen to his pastor than his wife. Obama’s line of thinking cannot be divorced from Mr. Wright, while Mrs. Clinton (not Rodham) can articulate independent policies that are divorced from her husband’s. I   am a Catholic who thinks that some of the teachings I imbibed during my Catechism classes were/ are not true. For instance, it will be much harder for non Catholics to go to heaven than Catholics.  Obama is not an independent thinker, while Mrs. Clinton is an independent thinker who is brandishing herself as tested and experienced even when her so called experience is a derivative of Bill Clinton administration. Even though she touts herself as a tested candidate, she has been an elected public official for about 8yrs while Obama has been an elected public official for about 12 years. Now, while it’s not acceptable for Michele Obama to posit that she could be an effective leader for being married to Mr. Obama, Hillary talks about being a major foreign policy force in Clinton administration even when cabinet members like Ms Albright had more input in her husband’s administration. It’s only in this campaign that I hear someone saying, vote for me because I’m married to a former president.  Even the premise of her election in NYC was shaky, because Rudi Giuliani had cancer and did not run, in re-election, she almost went unopposed. This is her first major campaign and she is not doing well, because she bought into the media hype that she would be unbeatable.  Now, would I allow a “heart surgeon” to operate on me simply because her husband was   a notable Harvard trained surgeon or a pilot to fly an airplane because her spouse is a certified FAA pilot? No and what about you. If she distances her from Clinton as she claims, she should leave behind all the good accomplishments of Clinton administration because she cannot pick and choose when it favors her. If I cannot embellish my resume based on my husband’s accomplishments why do we let Hillary do so?  Hillary is not more experienced than Dianne Feinstein (D-Ca) or Barbara Boxer (D-Ca), so her experience should reflect her accomplishments as Hillary not Billary. As per their income, I believe that they deserve every penny. Maybe we should also subject Chenney and Bush to the same scrunity.

We really have to open our eyes to this kind  of Christendom that does not challenge your thought process  ? Remember the prosecution of  early Christians and  non Christians because religious followers did not make right judgment. Hitler killed in the name of religion because his followers refused to hold him accountable. Islamic fundamentalists are killing because their followers do not think and judge. Some Catholic priests in the USA sexually abused children because their congregation was passive and non judgmental. Ted Haggard followers were also non critical because "men of God" are not supposed to be criticized. Remember Rev King who killed one of his mistresses and his congregation had no idea that he was an evil man.

It’s not the truth you know that will set you free, but the truth you speak.

Nigeria is a country where educated folks don't show any difference between education and ignorance. Religion is opium of the poor.  Nobody has offered a credible reason as to why we should accept these stage managed miracles. I believe that most of these followers of miracles as opposed to followers of gospels don’t want to admit that they are dumb and gullible minded. Just like the way followers of Ted Haggard who spewed hatred against homosexuals, but always patronized male prostitutes. I was ashamed to find out that folks are still going to the infamous miracle church where Rev. Dr. King was charged for killing one of his concubines. These people are hoping that one day  "  miracles" of that same magnitude will happen in their lives.
They are telling me not to think and judge even though the premise which in the gospel was delivered by Paul was through cognitive thinking and reasoning. The Sanhedin Council would not have allowed Paul to proceed with the gospel were it not for  Gamaliel who was a member  of Sanhedrin council and Dr. of Law. His opinion saved the gospel even though he was not a Christian. Today, to think in Christendom is like challenging God.  Most Nigerians go to church simply for miracles. Only hard work will save us from despair not miracles.

^{biggest sin in Christianity? to think."}

Why is religion always asking people to believe by emotions and faith instead of facts? We live in a society where things are factually proven, yet we still rely on sentiments. Should I also believe my Catholic doctrines that my church is superior to others? Or that Pope is infallible? The difference between real world and organized religion is that real world employs science to answer some of our questions and leaves room for you to make your own judgment and it also tells you that it does not have all the answers. While religious world tells you that it has got all the answers, the beginning and end, believe by faith and emotion, and DO NOT have your own line of thinking.

Only in Nigeria is where you see pastors curing incurable diseases, yet Christianity emanated from west where there are state of the art hospitals. Westerners have jettisoned this type of idea that things can be done by miracles and embraced hard work. In Nigeria, pastors performing miracles, people are poorer and more prone to deadly diseases, while in the west ,innovative and critical thinking have changed their way of life for the better. So innovation is the way not miracles which might not happen

Its mind boggling in this age that companies are spending billions of dollars to cure cancer, HIV- AIDS and other deadly diseases and yet most people in Africa believe in miracles. How does God compensate for hard work and critical thinking? If God gives Pastor Chris such inordinate powers to cure terminal diseases and Bill Gates is investing his in finding new cures for Malaria, cancer, and HIV-AID, then this God is very partial and negates hard work.

Ask yourself these questions: If westerners believed in miracles, you would not have had access to a computer let alone the internet. You would not have had air planes, we would not have had scientific breakthroughs. I think that Marcus Garvey said " If God had not willed us to prosper He would not have given us the brain to think" Why think with your brain when miracles are abundant and cheaper. This just reminds of what happened during my high schools years when some folks who had wasted all their years suddenly became born-again with the hope of making all their WAEC papers. Wake up folks.

^{If your idea is that I believe the article cause it is published in a journal then you are seriously mistaken. Burden of proof is not on the person who disputes the claim made but on the person who made the claim.}   I am mistaken only when there is a benchmark for comparison. Blacks and Foreign borns are not only Africans. I would think someone other than you made this claim and you demanded to see a proof, then the poster directed us to this study and you are still disputing it without a contrary study or statistics that would take Africans into consideration as a group.

_{According to the US census numbers which the article claims to have gotten it's information from, there is no data indicating that the contents of the article are actually as it is written. Hence the reason why I requested that more information be provided or links to the numbers used to reach such a conclusion be provided. If you look at the links I posted to census numbers from back in 1999 to 2005( I believe), there no data actually pointing to Africans as they are bundled up as blacks. Over and over, the data shows that blacks come up short compared to other groups in the country.}

It seems from my small way of thinking that US Census Bureau DOES not have statistic of African Immigrants in the US? If this is the basis of your argument, then I don’t think that's correct because as a matter of fact, Census Bureau does keep track of Nigerian immigrants let alone of African immigrants. Since most Africans are blacks, they are always lumped into African Americans or Blacks = Minority.  This does not mean that scholars cannot run African immigrant figures with the rest of other groups. If the study is flawed as you claim, it cannot be discredited on the basis that there is no contrary study, but be proven false by a well researched study that will also extract and match up African immigrant figures with other groups.

_{I pointed out that there are many articles out there that say something different from what the journal article says and I did that to have him understand that it is not just about providing articles but articles that come with supporting information that can be verified}

That's why I have insisted that you provide these claims in order to counter this journal.  I also highlighted a CNN article on Nigeria which seems to concur with that study. The veracity of this study can be only be ascertained by other studies or journals that would employ the same statistics from Census and methodology. A comparison is based on two or more known conditions.

Then blacks are not only African immigrants. You should provide a contrary evidence to prove otherwise, the burden of proof is on you. Arguments are not won by “I don’t believe in that". Also you failed to cite New York Times to support your argument. Provide a scholarly journal to counter this study. By the way, journals are peer reviewed and mostly don’t cite newspapers as their sources. Census figures that are the basis of your argument   have not considered African immigrants as a group, so what this study   did was to extract African immigrants from foreign borns and blacks and treat them as a group and matched them up with various ethnic groups in the US. 

Also about CNN article, Houston has the nation’s largest Nigerian communities, so that gives an insight of educational attainment of African immigrants since Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa and has the largest number of African immigrants in the US. Research Polls are not always conducted by polling everybody.

Time to argue wisely.  We are all here to learn in one way the other. This journal is very insightful, until you provide a contrary journal.  Good luck

Kobojunkie,
You sound  a little bit hawkish. Are you saying that Census figures dispute  the Journal even when African Immigrants were treated as foreign borns or blacks? You know too well that  you are considered as black or African American in the US, so this journal  took Africans as a group.  Argument has to be inductive, deductive or absurd and I think that yours leans toward absurdity given the fact that you have not provided a contrary evidence. I did not see Africans as  a group in those Census figures.

Maybe you would also like   the chart that says that African immigrants trail Asians in income and detest the one that shows that they are most educated since they  all are from Census.

[b]GRIFFIN: Nigerian independence day in Houston.

Members of a local organization, the Nigerian Union, are celebrating not only 45 years of freedom from British Colonial rule, but also their new lives in the U.S.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It is a place where you can come and put in honest work and progress.

GRIFFIN: Houston has one of the nation's largest Nigerian communities. At least 60,000 by some estimates, and well educated. More than two-thirds are college graduates, a higher rate than their white neighbors. Among the elite, a vascular surgeon, two married professors, a chemical engineer, and Airline Pilot Isaac Agmonyaka (ph).

say life without sex can be disastrous for you not girlfriend. Girlfriend - boyfriend = sexbuddy

I'm yet to see anyone rebut this guy's statements one on one basis instead of invoking sentiments. true post

Sama,
From your posts it seems that you are not of the same race with your fianceé? It also seems that his family has some sort of direct or indirect influence over his relationship with you.  I don’t know how long you have had this problem of not being accepted by his family and I would think that it would be a long shot. It also seems that he is not the kind of person who can do the talking and walking in order for his parents/family to accept you given the fact that your relationship with him does have a result (ie Child) If this is being going on ever since you met, I don’t think that he might settle down with given his parents' objection.
As per the Nigerian guy, a lot of factors are to be considered. As for his financial status, he may not be willing to settle down with you because most Naija men would like to be financially stable before being in a committed relationship that might have some marriage implications. Besides, no Igbo man leaves his country for a foreign land in search of love, but for a better future. The cost benefit analysis of this situation does not swing in his favor. The Nigerian guy would weigh the option of taking another man’s fiancée with whom he has a child, More so, the Naija guy would weigh the option of battling with someone who is wealthier, more connected and has a solid family support. The odds are against him; so the Naija guy will choose an easier option- take care of his business in a foreign land.
  This does not mean that Naija men do not fall in love, but in most cases they would want settle down with someone who is not engaged. So, you have to take care of your case with your fiancée before the Naija guy can change his non-committal attitude

Sorry to hear about your lost investment or soon to be lost investment. I could vividly remember arguing over these issues with you, but I guess that your emotional CNS overcame your most thoughtful side. I said that incoming govt might reverse this process.
Let the truth be told, this govt does not have the authority to reverse the sale of Transcorp even if it was done in bad faith. If the govt goes ahead with this ugly decision, shareholders must be compensated handsomely. Take the case between Chavez and Exxon Mobil. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/chi-0214edit1feb14,0,3801026.story.
This will also set a bad precedent for investment in Nigeria. Shell, AGIP, MOBIL, ENI and multi- nationals may lose their joint venture contracts with govt simply because the it was "cheated" during contract negotiations. How about a total review of all govt companies, shares, parastatals that were privatized during OBJ's regime. Most were undersold for peanuts, but members of the public CANNOT be held liable for ineptitude of their govt. I lost all my deposits at Savanah Bank due to politics. Not long ago it was an onerous to ask Nigerians to put their money in the banks let alone to buy shares; now Broad Street has won the confidence of Nigerians. This singular action of this illegal and visionless govt will erode that confidence.

Transcorp shareholders can only lose their investments if they do not have competent lawyers. This case could be litigated up to international arbitration for a fair compensation, but again this Transcorp where exuberance and dreams trump fundamentals and realities.

how many top fashion icons of Nigerian/African origin date African men? Where is Oluchi Onweagba ? How about Regina Askia? How about Imam? leave matter sister

thank you. 4play,
Ann Coulter is a very controversial right winger who thrives in controversy to sell her books. Its just like 50 cent using violence to sell his records. Can anyone tell me where it is written in GOP's manifesto that Jews should convert to Christians? I watched her say that on CNBC's Big Ideas by Donny Deutsch. I really hate it when politicians/pundits think that they know God more than others. Do you really think that her views are more right wing than that of Alan Keyes.? She is a just a priviledged political Britney Spears who is using the press to her advantage.

^{One of my biggest idols and the poster child for the republican party Ann Coulter the other day on Fox News said she would vote for Hillary before she supports McCain. Very Very sad night for America.}

For Ann Coulter to be your biggest idol, it means that you really need a total baptism of political alliance. Ann Coulter is a demi god to you just as Loius Farrakan is great idol to his followers. Thank God I am not a sheepish follower. Ann Coulter will drive aways your supporters the way Bill Clinton drew away Hilary's. America is less right wing than Coulter just as its less left leaning than Ted Kennedy. Wake up girl

hotfunmi

Do you want to date him? Some of these guys just bear naija names with very different cultural orientations. Do you think that some of these guys can flow with Naija bred and buttered chics?

Here we go again, NFA never taking any responsibility. Another search for a clueless whiteman is on the way.Why dont we hire whitemen to fix NEPA, police, NPA, road etc?

how about multi system like PAL and NTSC Secam

Someone told me that US flat screens and plasms do not work in Nigeria. Any geek to feel me in with right info

its for people of complex who think that a white man can perform miralces even when the odds are against him. I also find it very difficult that Nigerians believe in too much miracle instead of hard work. I could not recall a Nigerian player who is in top scoring table in his league, yet we still want to win.

Does Hillary really have a name if Clinton is struck out of her name?

all these fake pastors who think that greatestness is achieved by not working hard, but by miracles. it aint gonna happen

easier said than done

unregulated capitalism. I dont know why financial experts speculators think that they are scientists. Finance is not like chemistry where Hyrogen and Oxygen give out water. they over-trusted their unproven formular. Subprime wahala. They cashed huge money from these trapped low income home owners and went on vacation thinking that every thing will be 'aight" By this time last year major, Wall Street banks were paying their executives billions of dollars in compensation for finding money they had no idea that it existed all in the name of profits.

Wait for another disaster with HEDGE FUNDS. Unregulated, off balance sheet actions, off Federal Reserve's oversight, off security and exchange commission. Believe what we tell you culture in Wall Street.

This should also make us to ponder on our investments in Naija's financial sector. All that glitters is not gold.
