WebmastersRe: Websites And Criticisms by Afam(m): 5:46pm On Aug 30, 2007
Thanks for the info. Personally I prefer negative criticisms to positive ones as one rule everyone will ultimately learn in this life is to prepare for the worst while hoping for the best.

As they say success is 10% luck, 90% hardwork and 100% perseverance.

There were days I will get emails with one liners like "your website is not fine". What do I do? I just reply and say thanks, but it's making money for me and that's what matters.

Even after sending the reply I go back to the website and look for things I could make better and today not throwing away negative criticisms has made me a better web developer.

The problem people like you have is that once someone does not agree completely with everything you say you tag the person one thing or the other.

Have I ever defended OBJ's wrong doing? Or must I agree with whatever you say including calling him unprintable names to make you happy?

I stand for honesty, truth, facts and objectivity in all I do and believe me there are no exceptions to these rules.

Is the continued detention of Al-Mustapha right? Certainly NO.

So why attack the poster who aired his opinion on this matter?

If they have evidence against him they should go ahead and try him and if found guilty he should be punished accordingly but if found innocent he should be freed.

The type of vengeful imprisonment at the hands of OBJ is wrong and I doubt if Yar'adua won't tow the same line considering the fact that his elder brother died during Abacha's reign.

Holding someone for about 8 years without concluding the case is very very wrong.

The model is Black berry pearl and the N65,000.00 was for the device according to the MTN guy that called me (I am still awaiting a detailed email as I was busy on the phone when he called so I asked him to do an email which he promised to do).

The N6,500.00 or N6,000.00 is for the monthly subscription according to a friend that works there, fortunately for her MTN gave them at no cost so I couldn't get the price from her.

Hope this helps.

NB: I am interested in getting confirmation for the N39,000.00 someone stated here sha.
Technology MarketRe: Where Can I Get Fairly Used Dell Or Hp Flat Screen Monitors by Afam(m): 8:06pm On Aug 28, 2007
Considering the fact that fairly used ones may have problems that may not be obvious why don't you consider getting brand new ones for N22,500.00 each?

I got one some 2 weeks ago, takes just 36W as against the about 250W the regular CRT type was taking and this has added more time to my backup.
Technology MarketRe: Mtn Blackberry / Internet by Afam(m): 6:08pm On Aug 28, 2007
I sent an email/message from MTN website and MTN later called me concerning the Blackberry device and they told me it goes for N65,000.00.

Is the N39,000.00 official from MTN?

And for the internet connection, a friend that works there said it's N6,500.00 per month.

George W. Bush: A CIA Analysis
by Ray McGovern

It is as though I'm back as an analyst at the CIA, trying
to estimate the chances of an attack on Iran. The putative
attacker, though, happens to be our own president.

It is precisely the work we analysts used to do. And, while
it is still a bit jarring to be turning our analytical
tools on the U.S. leadership, it is by no means entirely
new. For, of necessity, we Veteran Intelligence
Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) have been doing that for
almost six years now – ever since 9/11, when "everything
changed." Of necessity? Yes, because, with very few
exceptions, American journalists lose their jobs if they
expose things like fraudulent wars.

The craft of CIA analysis was designed to be an all-source
operation, meaning that we analysts were responsible – and
held accountable – for assimilating information from all
sources and coming to judgments on what it all meant. We
used information of all kinds, from the most sophisticated
technical collection platforms to spies to open media.

Here I have to reveal a trade secret, which punctures the
mystique of intelligence analysis. Generally speaking,
80 percent of the information one needs to form judgments
on key intelligence targets or issues is available in open
media.

It helps to have training from past masters of media
analysis, which began in a structured way in targeting
Japanese and German media in the 1940s. But, truth be
told, everyone with a high-school education can do it.
It is not rocket science.

This is not to denigrate the contribution of CIA operations
officers, case officers running sensitive agents, for
though small in percentage of the whole nine yards
available to be analyzed, information from such sources
can often make a crucial contribution.

Consider, for example, the daring recruitment in mid-2002
of Saddam Hussein's foreign minister, Naji Sabri, who was
"turned" into working for the CIA and quickly established
his credibility. Sabri told us there were no weapons of
mass destruction in Iraq.

My former colleagues, perhaps a bit naively, were quite
sure this would come as a vast relief to President George
W. Bush and his advisers. Instead, they were told that
the White House had no further interest in reporting from
Sabri; rather, that the issue was not really WMD, it was
"regime change."

(Don't feel embarrassed if you did not know this; our
corporate-owned, war-profiteering media has largely
suppressed all this.)

So our former colleague, operations officer par excellence
Robert Baer, reports (in this week's Time) that, according
to his sources, the Bush/Cheney administration is winding
up for a strike on Iran, that Bush's plan to put Iran's
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on the terrorism list
points in the direction of such a strike, and that
delusional "neoconservative" thinking that still guides
White House policy concludes that such an attack would
lead to the fall of the clerics and rise of a more friendly
Iran.

Hold on, it gets even worse: Baer's sources tell him that
administration officials are thinking that "as long as we
have bombers and missiles in the air, we will hit Iran's
nuclear facilities."

VIPs member Phil Giraldi, writing in The American
Conservative, earlier noted that Karl Rove has served as a
counterweight to Vice President Dick Cheney, determined as
Cheney seems to be to expand the Middle East quagmire to
Iran.

And former Pentagon analyst retired Lt. Col. Karen
Kwiatkowski, who worked shoulder-to-shoulder with the most
rabid Pentagon neocons just before the attack on Iraq, has
put into words (on LewRockwell.com) speculation several of
us have been indulging in with respect to Rove's departure.

In short, it seems a good bet that Rove, who is no one's
dummy and would not want to have to "spin" an unnecessary
war on Iran, lost the battle with Cheney over the merits
of a military strike on Iran, and only then decided to
spend more time with his family.

Whatever else Rove has been, he has served as a counter-
weight to Dick Cheney's clear desire to expand the Middle
East quagmire into Iran.

As for White House spokesperson Tony Snow, it seems equally
possible that, before deciding he has to make more money,
he concluded that his stomach could not withstand the task
explaining why Bush/Cheney needed to attack Iran.

With the propaganda buildup we have seen so far, what
seems most likely, at least initially, is an attack on
Revolutionary Guard training facilities inside Iran, and
that can be done with cruise missiles.

With some 20 targets already identified by anti-Iranian
groups, there are enough assets already in place to do that
job. But the while-we're-at-it neocon logic referred to
above may well be applied after, or even during, that kind
of attack from the air.

Yes, it is happening again.

The lead editorial in Tuesday's Washington Post
regurgitates the unproven allegations that Iran's
Revolutionary Guard Corps is "supplying the weapons that
are killing a growing number of American soldiers in Iraq;"
that it is "waging war against the United States and trying
to kill as many American soldiers as possible."

Designating Iran a "specially designated global terrorist"
organization, says the Post, "seems to be the least the
United States should be doing, giving the soaring number
of Iranian-sponsored bomb attacks in Iraq."

It's as though Dick Cheney is again writing the Post
editorials. And not only that, arch neocon James Woolsey
has just told Lou Dobbs that the U.S. may have no choice
but to bomb Iran in order to halt its nuclear weapons
program.

As Woolsey puts it, "I'm afraid within, well, at worst, a
few months; at best, a few years; they could have the bomb."

Woolsey, self-described "anchor of the Presbyterian wing of
the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs," has
long been way out in front plumbing for wars, like Iraq,
that he and other neocons myopically see as being in
Israel's, as well as America's, interest.

Within days of 9/11, Woolsey was arguing for war with Iraq
even while conceding, at the time, that there was no
evidence tying Iraq to 9/11.

The latest is also rubbish. And Woolsey knows it. And so
do the reporters for the Washington Post, who are aware
of, but have been forbidden to tell, a highly interesting
story.


The NIE That Didn't Bark

The National Intelligence Estimate on if and when Iran is
likely to have the bomb has been ready since February.
It has been sent back four times – no doubt because its
conclusions do not support what folks like Cheney and
Woolsey are telling the president.

The conclusions of the most recent NIE on the issue (early
2005) was that Iran could probably not have a nuclear
weapon until "early to mid-next decade," a formula
memorized and restated by Director of National Intelligence
Michael McConnell at his confirmation hearing in February.

One can safely assume that McConnell had been fully briefed
on the first "final draft" of the new estimate, which has
now been in limbo for half a year. It is a safe bet that
the conclusions of the new draft resemble those of the 2005
estimate all too closely to suit Cheney.

It is a scandal that the congressional oversight committees
have not been able to get hold of the new estimate, even in
draft. For it is a safe bet it would give the lie to the
claims of Cheney, Woolsey, and other cheerleaders for war
with Iran and provide powerful ammunition to those arguing
for a more sensible approach to Iran.

Despite the administration's warlike record, many Americans
may still cling to the belief that attacking Iran won't
happen because it would be crazy; that Bush is a lame-duck
president who wouldn't dare undertake a new reckless
adventure when the last one went so badly.

But – with this administration – rationality has not
exactly been a strong suit. Bush has placed himself in a
neoconservative bubble that operates with its own false
sense of reality. As psychiatrist Justin Frank noted in
a July 27 memorandum updating his book, Bush on the Couch:

"We are left with a president who cannot actually govern,
because he is incapable of reasoned thought in coping with
events outside his control, like those in the Middle East.

"This makes it a monumental challenge – as urgent as it is
difficult – not only to get him to stop the carnage in the
Middle East, but also to prevent him from undertaking a
new, perhaps even more disastrous adventure – like going
to war with Iran, in order to embellish the image he so
proudly created for himself after 9/11 as the commander
in chief of 'the first war of the 21st century.'"

In reality, some nonsense and very misleading headlines on our newspapers go to show that the owners are really interested in making money not protecting the interest of Nigerians.

If OBJ did not read newspapers and developed Nigeria very well will some of us be saying what we are saying?

Reading or not reading newspapers (especially Nigerian newspapers) has very little to do with whether a leader will do well or not.

A leader that wants to work will work regardless of what the newspapers say or whether he/she reads them.

It is people who support others blindly like this that will do anything a pastor says even if it is evil. For them it is what the pastor says that matter and not what the bible says.

One thing you people (that keep talking about touch not my anointed) is that in the first place are all these people claiming to be men of God actually men of God? This is the most important question otherwise a Lawrence Anini could claim to be a man of God and do you assume everyone must now believe him?

The same bible that you reference makes it clear that by their fruits you shall know them so if a pastor keeps sleeping with prostitutes he should be exposed and such exposures and condemnation will be in order and in accordance with the bible not what your pastor says.

Little wonder the people willingly drank cyanide because they believed a pastor that adviced them to do so - Guyana , crime of the century.

I hope all these foot soldiers of TB have never complained about OBJ or other past leaders in Nigeria otherwise they will be guilty of pure and unadulterated hypocrisy and sycophancy.
