@ COURAGE

1) WHY DO YOU WANT TO IMPORT WHAT YOU HAVE?

2) WHY DON'T YOU REFINE AND EXPORT?

3) HAVE YOU READ WHERE GOVT MAKES 106% PROFIT ON LOCALLY REFINED PETROL PRICING?

4) WHERE HAS OIL WINDFALL EVER TAKEN US TO IN THIS COUNTRY?

MY POSITION


1- ACCESS TO FUNDS WILL ONLY LIBERATE THE THIEVING INDUSTRY IN NIGERIA

2) GOVT WANTS TO MAINTAIN THE THIEVING INDUSTRY WITH THE SUBSIDY TO BE REMOVED, BUT IT DOES NOT EXIST ANYWAY

3) GOVT SHOULD DELAY DEREGULATION( WHATEVER THAT MEANS) AND PUT OUR REFINERIES TO WORK.

4) BALANCE OF PAYMENT IS IMPROVED WHEN YOU ENHANCE EXPORT AND PRODUCE WHAT YOU NEED AT HOME.

1. Physically he is atrocious.
2. Intellectually even more: he can't speak any language decently except yoruba. How can you carry such a person to events?
3. Culturally ignorant. You can't have any type of discussion with him and I also hated his submissive attitude.
4. Character wise a total coward and a hypocrite.

Besides those saying why was I his friend in the first place, well i told him that I wasn't interested in him, so why couldn't we be friends? However he had no right to go about acting like my bf (ewwww).

I may choose my dates based on looks and other things but I am not so choosy in friendship, not that he had a relevant role in my life anyways.

If refineries r built then those big shots importing fuel to our very own detriment will no longer make money

AfroCynic:
I really wonder about your comprehension of the English language sometimes. You see how the book 'half of a yellow sun' was told from the Igbo point of view? Is the film going to be like that? I feel if is it, it might stoke some ethnic tensions. Nigeria as a nation has not matured enough for us to be able to talk about these things without trouble brewing, dig?

Great. But what rivalry are you talking about? The two are not equal in beauty and talent. Although my cradle brings me closer to Gene, I must admit that Omo is far more superior in build, shape, complexion and beauty. You rarely get that combination in the west. But there she is for you. I think Gene's beauty and acting are hyped.

But that movie will be good to watch if only to create a common ground on which to continue comparing two people who should never be compared.

In Nollywood now, Tonto remains the best actor. If you watch her acting, the girl knows how to get in character and animate it well. She is far more superior in acting quality above all the rest of the ladies, these two included.

Poster,

If you were approached by a fine boy you won't know what to do with yourself. I think only fine chicks respond favorably to the advances from a fine boy, at least from my own experience. Naija fine boys intimidate a lot of ugly Naija women when they approach them because the women are bitter and are not used to being approached by good-looking guys, unlike fine Naija girls who are happy.

[size=15pt]Lawmakers ask robbers to declare temporary ceasefire[/size]

The Ogun State House of Assembly on Wednesday appealed to armed robbers operating in the state and neighbouring ones to suspend their activities in the light of the junior World Cup going on in the country.

The Assembly reminded the robbers that any of their operations during the period of the tournament will give the country a bad name, as several foreign visitors are in the country now. Ogun is one of the states hosting teams in the competition.

The lawmakers agreed to beg the bandits during deliberations on the floor of the House, at their Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta complex. A member, Edward Ayo Odugbesan had raised an alarm that the Isheri bridge, which links Ogun with Lagos State, has become a den of bandits.

Mr. Odugbesan said there is a need for the men of the underworld to suspend their operations in the interim, because of the on-going mundial. The Ijebu-Ode International Stadium is one of the centres being used for the competition.

“I want to appeal to the men of the underworld to suspend their actions and operations in the interim because of our foreign visitors currently in the state,” he said. “Then they can resume thereafter, because there is nowhere in the world where robbers and robberies could be stopped from their work.” He then called on his colleagues to support his call on the armed bandits to soft-pedal because the situation is becoming worrisome.

“If foreigners witness the robbers’ attacks at this point, it would send a bad signal to other nations,” he said.

Police wake up

Reacting to Mr. Odugbesan’s call, the Speaker, Tunji Egbetokun, called on the police leadership to intensify efforts in ensuring that security is maintained in the state.

“I want to use the opportunity to call on the police to intensify efforts in checkmating criminals. They should please not relent in the efforts,” he said.

In a related development, the Assembly ordered the head of the Local Government Administration of Obafemi-Owode to appear before it next Wednesday for clarification on the budget and expenditure of the council. The local government official was said to have dodged previous invitations over the past three months – a development which the Assembly faulted at its session yesterday.

The lawmakers, therefore, directed the Clerk of the House, Demola Badejo, to write the official on the matter and direct him to report before it.

feelgood:
Their ancestry is traced to the Binis and their 'Igbo' dialect is remarkably different from the heavily accented mainstream. Also the Delta/Osha axis still tenaciously hold on to their ancestral roots. Why then do the Igbos want to 'by force' them into their fold eg making them to head Ohaneze - will it work? When the chips are down, everyone go answer im papa name. What's your take?
