Politics / Re: Court Freezes Ibru’s N500bn Bank Accounts by adigun101: 2:25pm On Jan 21, 2010
Ibrus combined wealth in account balance(500 billion Naira) + 103 properties (Dubai, New york, london etc) + business interests (shares and holdings) = > 1 trillion naira = > 10 billion dollars
Of course, all of a sudden Nigerias bank MDs a now among FORBES 500.

You dint hear me.
Let them send someone like him to NNPC, PHCN.
Its interesting how concerned we are about our economy and how much potential damage these PRIVATE banks can do to it.
Without caring how these banks came into existance. (I guess it doesn't matter now)
Do you know what NEPA is costing us ?

Tell all that rubbish story to the dogs.
What is the rationale behind appointing MDs in NNPC, NEPA and other government agencies ?

A Nigerian Government that is known not to have been able to create or run any form of company is being congratulated for all this high handed regulation in banks

Why dont they send Sanusi to PHCN, NNPC , Nigerian Airways, NPA etc
Intead they are regulating other peoples hard work.
At the end of the day the banks will end up like PHCN, NNPC , Nigerian Airways & NPA,
Highly politicized and beauracratic loopholes which would lead to ineffective management .

It is sad that youths in Igbo land look up to a failure like Ojukwu while ignoring Ziks views and philosophies.
Igbos would've avoided all the tragedy if Zik had led them at the time.
But igbos were also a victim of a dictator, a junta that imposed his views on everyone else.
Why is this man still celebrated ?

Is he trying to say that UK is a special country that cannot be blacklisted ?
Well it is up to the US to do whatever they want. Nigeria cannot be guaranteed fair hearing from the US.

Damn you and your Igbo agenda  .   .   we are all Nigerians and Nigeria has come to stay, the earlier you get that into your head the better for you. Take it upon yourself that  YOU are only making your self a second class citizen with the MYTH that the Northerners and Yoruba are in control and they are wicked people. Hmmmmmmmm

You might be making yourself a second class citizen by believing that igbos recruit even non-ibos for an igbo agenda.

You see your backwardness? Take ND from who ?
Who owns it at the moment.
Ijaw, Urhobo, Edo, Efik ,  or from themseleves (ibos)
If anyone owns ND it is Niger river.
My point is that ibo constitutes about 30% of ND indegenes.

I think this thread has been hijacked by backward tribalists.
I believe the purpose of this thread was to established the ethnic composition of ND with regards the ibos.
All you low life tribalists are so disgusting !
You all are shameless.

Now that I and a few have managed to establish the fact that the ibos have a huge claim to the ND,
I guess the next step is for the poster to correct his misconception.

No one is talking about spliting the country.
But we have to be aware of the facts so that they are not misrepresented.
If you want to discuss about that you can open another post of which I will certainly not be a part of it.
Do ibos have the right to be claimed as Niger-deltans true/false !

This shows that the ibos are indeed the largest ethnic group in the ND.

Thank you for bringing the discussion back on track.
It is amazing how senseless tribalists can hijack a discussion throwing it off course with nothing gained.
What has the topic got to do with Ojukwu and Biafran war ?
I had earlier posted a detailed study of the indegeneous composition of the ND and came up with the following discovery:

FYI ,
On seeing this post I got quite curious and the carried out a little study of my own. I never thought of ibos being relevant to the Niger-Delta but detailed study proved that they are infact the largest ethnic group in ND.
Mind you ND is different from south - south.
ND is a geographical entity while SS is a geo-political entity.
The region known as the Niger-Delta are made up of the following Nigerian states. with their ibo composition.

Abia - 100%
Akwa-Ibom - 5%
Cross River State - 7%
Edo - 1%
Imo - 100%
Ondo States. - 0%
Delta State - 30 %
Rivers State - 60%
Bayelsa State - 15%

This is proof that the ibos have the right to claim ND.

There are three  things wrong with this post.

1. What do those percentages actually represent? Is it the number of Igbo speakers living in those states or members of the Igbo ethnic group indigenous to those states?

2. Where did you get your values from? You didn't quote any source so I guess you either carried out the survey or you just lied to score some cheap forum popularity points.

3. You quoted that the Niger delta is a geographical entity and listed states that are either wholly or partially within the delta. Well sorry to burst your bubble but those states you listed are also there politically as they are states where commercial oil fields are located.

In 'geographic' or should I say geologic terms (this is more appropriate), the Niger delta underlies the following states

Abia
Akwa-Ibom
Anambra*
Bayelsa
Cross-River
Delta
Edo
Imo
Ondo
Rivers

PapaBrowne:

As someone who has worked in Nigeria on-and-off for more than 30 years and traveled there many times, I can tell you that the country may have problems, but it is not the world's next hotbed of extremism. Nigerian Muslims and Christians have forged a mostly harmonious co-existence that is rare and desirable, and culturally there exists the type of moderate Islam that is a beacon for the future. On a personal level, I have known many peaceful, honest, and hard working Nigerians, and it is disappointing to see them discriminated against because of this one errant individual.

1. We have an airport "Mohammed Airport".
2. Arabic signs on our currency.
3. A CBN governor who is a scholar in Sharia/Islamic studies in sudan.
4. Our continous alliance to countries like Saudi or Sudan who have no diplomatic or economic benefits to our nation.
5. Incessant religious riots and murders.
6. There were Nigerians celebrating on the streets of Nigeria being broadcast on the international media after 9/11.
7. Riots broke out and non-muslims massacred because of muhammed cartoons in far away Denmark.
8. Miss world beaty peageant contest cancelled because of religious bigots.
7. The state of out president is been hidden from us by an Islamic nation just in the interest of keeping a muslim leader dead or alive.

Let us remove sentiments.
People have been terrorised for ages in the North.
These culprits who can organise murder in cold blood in the name of religion after friday prayers are well capable of suicide bombing.
America don try for us for years. They have been partial to us.
This decision is late as far as im concerned.
Do you know how many murders have been committed in Nigeria since 9/11.
E don pass that of america.
Let us not be selfish. It is until you loose a loved one then you would know what I mean.

your president is covertly hiding away in Saudi with his progress hidden away with the help of Saudi authorities, they are helping to ensure that an islamic ruler is running the country at all costs.
Your CBN governor is a well tutotred Islamic/Sharia scholar (in sudan a fellow blacklisted country), making him the most suitable for the job.
The problem with most of you is that you think that Nigeria ends in the south and in worst case scenario, Lagos.
Visit the extreme north and better appreciate your country.

Killing people by suicide bombing, plane bombing or lynching on the streets of Kano, Kaduna or Bauchi is terrorism.

Now there are a pile of cases in court over CBNs intervention. You guys know how things work in Nigeria this might go on for 2 yrs or more.
None of the banks know how to interpret non-performing loans.
The appetite for risks(a big part of banking investments) has been eroded.
Banks are firing staff and closing branches.
As much as 8 banks are being run by CBN directives.
The banks access to credit lines are at its all time lows.
Sumarilly the banking sector has a lot of uncertainties and ailments and seems to be in a comatose state, like Yar'adua grin

"Sanusi’s silence could have been informed by the realisation that his banking reforms are skewed towards achieving aims that well known to him alone".
Well this might be the dip before things start to get better I hope but for now its not looking good.
All pessimists like me can do is keep scores.
Business / Re: Sanusi Incompetent To Manage CBN? by adigun101: 1:13pm On Dec 12, 2009
Latest bank reforms
Editorial, National NewsDec 10, 2009


CENTRAL Bank of Nigeria Governor, Sanusi Lamido   Sanusi has lost the gusto with which he spoke about his banking reforms.
When he threw out the managing directors of five banks last August, he accused them of infractions that threatened the health of the entire banking sector.
Chief among these allegations were that they gave bad loans to the tune of N1.3 trillion. If the issue was not addressed, the five banks, he said, could take down other banks and put the economy on further spin. Not many believed his agenda or the motive.
Another three bank managing directors have lost their jobs to Sanusi’s reforms. Job losses have become the norm in the banks. The banks seem to be competing with each other over which would sack more staff.
The cost to the banks of sacking staff, some of whom have been trained at great costs, is one of the panic measures described as cost cutting measures. It is obvious that the businesses of banks have suffered from a loss of public confidence in them.
Banks are not making enough money to keep the staff. Services in most banking halls are already reflecting the staff cuts and uncertainties over the health of the industry.
With eight banks on daily, direct supervision of the CBN, credits have been frozen and banks cannot make the money they used to get from lending. Businesses are not borrowing and banks appear uncertain about the CBN’s criteria for lending. Sanusi said last August that he was the one to determine whether a loan was performing or not.
The CBN is also encountering articulated opposition from bank shareholders, who think that they have a right to their investments. Some of the matters are in court, in addition to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), charging the managing directors of the affected banks to court.
News filtering out of the banks would worry anyone. While the CBN claimed it took over the banks to improve their governance, recover loans and prepare them for sale, some of its appointed managing directors are already writing off the loans of some debtors, as concessions.
It is to say the least a scandal that instead of recovering loans from debtors, who have enough assets that could be used to liquidate the loans, any bank could write off the loans, while wasting time in chasing small debtors.
The compensations and luxuries the CBN appointed managing directors have laid out for themselves is another source of scandal. If costs are to be cut, should it exclude the emoluments of the managing directors? These matters have dented whatever the banking reforms were meant to achieve.
Sanusi’s silence could have been informed by the realisation that his banking reforms are skewed towards achieving aims that well known to him alone.
Without a clearer policy on the banks, Sanusi would have a tougher time explaining his reforms.

All the so called healty banks are sacking their workers, why? The “heathy” ones are rushing to the SEC to raise money, why?
Why did the CBN not take a holistic appraoch in its decision before embarking on the “reforms”.
All-in-all Uncertainties and lack of direction are not good for the markets.
Business / Re: Sanusi Incompetent To Manage CBN? by adigun101: 1:08pm On Dec 12, 2009
Ladies and gentlemen.
Sanusi is our CBN governor and I think we have far gone past the stage of questioning his competence.
Right now we should be looking at the issues and not the individual.
We should all move on and learn to live with Sanusi banking sector whether we like it or not.
Unfortunately those of us that enjoyed the rejuvenation, modernisation and the boom in Nigerian banking under Soludo should just learn to live with Sanusi own idea.
Soludo banking apparently came with a cost but in the long run lets see which one we prefer.
Banks that grew at a very fast paling SA as sub-saharan African banking hub. All that is history.
I have moved on by taking all my money out of Nigerian banks, sold all my banking shares and have advised my clients to buy banking shares only as speculative investors.

I remember as a kid I saw Nigerians jubilating on the streets after a military coup only to witness the same Nigerians dying for democracy.
It is only a matter of time we will learn.
Things are even going downhill faster than I predicted or anticipated.
