So Johndoe still has time to be highlighting what Soyinka wrote decades ago

stop living in the past man, you get wahala

Does it matter long ago he wrote the piece? What matters is how true is it. Truth stand stands the test of time and the piece squarely applies to today.

I doubt you were able to read that wonderful piece from the Nobel laureate. The sweetness of the grammar and its readability are enough to make a diehard Buhari fan read it but no some people will not try it.

It will be a sacrilege against their Saviour.

The article just , just touched on the personality of the so called Saviour. Some years ago, I voted for him but after researching him, I now know better.


@dayokanu
Have you read that article yet or are you still busy mourning Arsenal's win?

@ agabaI23,
I'll assume you are not a student of economics, 'cos your assertions above are at best miles away from the truth and/or reality. Perhaps you need to search the internet to read about Sanusi Lamido Sanusi's write up about Buhari's economic policies.

Why should I search the internet when a student of economics like you is here? Please just tell me what his policies are and how his policies brought down inflation. Make sure you include the policy of military price fixing.

9ijaMan:
@ agabaI23,
There is no place on earth, that I know of, where dividends of sound economic policies are felt within 3 to 6 months of inception.

That you do not know does not mean it does not exist. May be Allan Meltzer can help you out.

@ agabaI23,

For those who claim Tunde Idiagbon was the brain behind Buhari's achievements, the simple explanation to your faulty claim is that good leaders will always surround themselves with great performers. This is one of the numerous qualities you'll find in Buhari, which is disappointingly absent in GEJ. Buhari is all for merit and not for tribalism, and he (Buhari) has also proved time and time again that he's neither a religious bigot nor a jihadist (as being claimed by his detractors).

Those who thought he is a tribalist gave reasons, do you have any reasons to counter their opinion?

9ijaMan:
Lastly, Idiagbon was not with Buhari when he (Buhari) led PTF, yet Buhari was able to achieve more in terms of infrastructural development, with PTF in less than 5 years, compared to the achievements of PDP led regimes in a total of 12 years. GEJ has been in government in one position or the other fr 12 years now with nothing, I repeat NOTHING to show as a tangible result achieved.

In one region of the country. Thank goodness Idiagbon was not with him otherwise he would have been tarred with the same brush.
Lopsided infrastructural development?
He who cannot be trusted with a small thing should not look for a bigger one.

save

Genbuhari3:
has GEJ implemented the CCTV cameras he promised after the bombings? what has the adviser on terrorism done so far?

this guy is just playing to the gallery, a man who talks before he thinks.

just because Ben Murray Bruce pleaded for financial support for the entertainment industry at Silverbird celebrations, GEJ played to the Gallery then offering $200 million dollars without thinking over it! has this money been released now?

what a disaster!

Goodluck Jonathan
'I am glad to report that I have fulfilled the pledge I made to the Entertainment Industry last year. The Federal Government has released $200 million to the Bank of Industry to be accessed by practitioners in the entertainment industry at a single digit interest rate and arrangements have been made with The Lagos Business School to provide entrepreneurial capacity training for beneficiaries of the Fund. GEJ'

You are soooo right.

PhysicsRND:
1) Proof? The Northerners are always claiming most people in those populated states up north are not in the metropolises, but in the rural LGs. I think they make up this claim to account for the figures because they assume the figures are correct, but I have no way to say that they are really lying. The other thing to consider here is that you said population densities, but you have to consider the size of states and LGs. The population density of the rural north could actually be low and still give them a higher population for each LG than the rural southeast because the rural southeast is still a much smaller area. So whether you go urban or rural, I think the population densities are still not going to be uniform across Nigeria.
2) I guess. Why not?
3) No. There's no way to know. What's the population of Kano city (not state)? What's the population of Lagos?

I have experienced their rural areas and I can tell you it is a lie. I worked in local govt and I can tell you that eku_bear was generous with his 50 people/ square kilometre estaimate.

Read my earlier post where I told my experience.

AjanleKoko:
You guys were great tonight.
But the tie's not over yet o. We'll fight all the way in Spain. But good game anyway. Arsenal gave it their all, and got the result they deserve. MessiWe just shut down in the second half.

Thought you only talk about business

The boys are good. Messi was not allowed a free reign.

[quote author=eku_bear link=topic=604661.msg7743571#msg7743571 date=1297886904]^-- So if they'd pulled off the ACN/CPC alliance, landslide victory in favor of Buhari.

Quite interesting.

BTW, figure should be 15 mil for the SW, not 18 mil.

Also, Jarus, do you mean in reality that the NW should be the most populated? I don't see how it can be more populated than the SS or SE. Kano City, let's say the 2.8 million figure they announced for 2006 is roughly accurate. Well, Kaduna was not even @ 800k as of 2006, by their own estimate: http://www.population.gov.ng/state/kadunafinal.pdf

I really question this assertion of the NW being more populated than any of the southern regions. Their cities aren't that big (aside from Kano City) relative to the southern counterparts, and very likely the population densities in the rural parts are more like 50 people/ square km, not the inflated figures publicly listed.[/quote]You are so right.

Who is Dayokanu?

Where is he hiding?

So nice a win!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dayokanu
Good economic policies
can knock down inflation over a short period if it is religiously implemented. Find out how IBB started.

Assuming Buhari was able to reduce inflation to 5%, is it wise to count it as one of his accomplishments considering his unorthodox method of knocking down inflation which you know is not practicable in this century under democratic dispensation? Or are you willing to lecture us on the economic policies that brought down inflation during his time?

Ify congrats in your new found faith

dayokanu:
Buhari took over government on December 31 1983. So is he responsible for 1983 figures?

In 1984, Assuming a govt starts reforms when do you think the resul would be out?

In 1985 The result of this came out at 5% and it was the lowest we have ever had since then

If you claim that he was not responsible for the 1983 figure, you should also not ascribe the 1985 figure to him because he was ousted in AUGUST, 1985. I can argue that the figure is more of IBB who maintained low inflation till 1986. We all know that IBB is brainy and he started well before he showed his true intentions.

Do not forget that Buhari was a figure head during his reign. Idiagbon was the one calling the shot and we all knew it.


Assuming he brought down inflation actually, do you think that his method will work again? He fixed the price of goods by force leading to monumental losses to businesses with resultant business closures and loss jobs.

How can you guys address his sectional and religious fanaticism? Do we really need someone like him now?
Problem is, does he really have the fund to campaign? Buhari and Ribadu are in this game because they believe that GEJ will allow free and fair election but they should know that even if it is free and fair, the masses will vote who they are familiar with.

They should ask Abiola how much he spent in 1993 or Obama the importance of fund in winning a free and fair election

mukina2:
who dash you money?

mukina

GEJ just lined up odetola and Dangote as his presidential campaign committe members. Govt made billionaires preparing for Govt patronage.

How can Ribadu stand that? Someone will say the masses will vote but you need fund to reach the masses. Obama raised huge money in order to implant his slogan'yes we can' into the youths. Does Ribadu have such Charisma? I doubt! He does not even have a manisfesto. His manisfesto is, 'I want to change Nigeria'. . But how?

I am one of his admirers but I think he is a joker. If he thinks he can ride on his popularity as EFCC chairman to become the president, then he should go and ask Akunyili.

Obiagu1:
But these figures tell you otherwise. The figure those organisations gave was false, absolutely false. They were just estimating when we have no reliable data to actually make a good and reasonable estimate.

Since I've followed elections in Nigeria, Kano state figures always cancel out Lagos own.
When you talk about Kano, it's huge with many towns.

Many towns? How many people do you have in each town? Do not forget that Jigawa was carved out of the old Kano state and the Jigawa alone was said to have registered  1.8 million when Lagos only had 1.8 million.

I also lived in Kano and had opportunity to do some national programmes that took me into the so called local government and towns.

Each local govt is made up districts and each district made up of 4 hamlet or so. All the hamlets i visited except 2 were made up of 3 men with their wives and children. The distance between each hamlet was about 30 ride in a high flying achaba.

Just cut the we-are -more-in-number-tantrum.

This is how they are more populous!
