acidtalk: In my opinion, I think Obinoscopy is definitely Nairaland's best, most polite, responsible and patient moderator. He handles a very critical section and replies and handles thing with so much maturity.


@Obinoscopy, please keep doing a great job. History will certainly reward you one day for the great job you are doing.

PropertiesRe: Road Built Around House In China After Owners Refuse To Sell by azpeculiar: 12:28pm On Nov 24, 2012
It just goes to show that even China that is not renowned for respecting human rights, respects the rule of law. We have a similar law in Nigeria under the Land Use Decree 1978 (now an Act) that empowers state governors to compulsorily acquire private property for 'overriding public interest'.

The property owner is only entitled to adequate compensation if it has a proper title, and approved building plans etc...

Before the property is demolished to make way for whatever social good or project, it is valued and adequate compensation paid to its owner, NOT AFTER, BUT BEFORE!

Sadly in our case because of our culture of impunity, compensation comes after demolition, is hardly adequate if even paid at all.

The Chinese are now showing us the way.

Manchester United unveiled a statue of Sir Alex Ferguson outside Old Trafford at a ceremony attended by the manager's current squad and many of his past greats. The statue depicts Ferguson with his arms crossed in a defiant pose that would intimidate any referee who might dare to refuse his shouts for a penalty or a dozen extra minutes of stoppage time.

From Reuters:

Artist Philip Jackson, who was also responsible for another Old Trafford statue portraying former manager Matt Busby as well as the United Trinity piece featuring Bobby Charlton, George Best and Denis Law, resisted the temptation to capture Ferguson berating a referee, chewing gum or looking at his watch.

"I've tried to portray him as a man of great determination and as a thinking man, but also with humour which he has in abundance, so there's just a slight smile in the corner of his mouth. That's really what I wanted to portray," Jackson said.


Yes, nothing says "humor in abundance" like a slight smirk in the corner of the mouth while the rest of the body shouts "if I was 20 years younger, I would've curbed you already."

At the ceremony, the non-statue version of Alex Ferguson took this opportunity to play his famous mind games with death itself.

"Normally people die before they have a statue. I'm outliving death," he said at the unveiling which drew a crowd of 2,500 to the stadium.
