welcome to HELL!



may be with naira re-evaluation; people will loose interest in old theft

a country of 150milion people generating only 3000MW!!

where is the power to sustain this re-denomination?

A: what happens to people that makes N500 a day?

thats means they are now making N5 a day?

B: what happens to our 25 big banks? they will now have $2,500,000 as total capital?

C: what happens to Bus fair from Ikorodu to Ojuelegba? It will be 5Kobo?

D: so petrol will now sell for 70kobo per litre?

re-evaluation should be done gradually and not in spate of 1 year.

also, we should be selling half of crude in Naira

Those are the thing that can appreciate naira value

and he was replaced by another hausa man from katsina.

for how long will Nigeria be going through this,

The contracts should not only be cancelled. OBJ should be prosecuted for this illegal, criminal act.

LGA should decide what they with their money. People, will naturall migrate from shity LGA and move to a better one.

end of the day, the LGA Chairman that takes of his LGA will laugh last.

umm, I take it no Nigerian is on the Island,

Always thought Nigerians are everywhere,

Age: 30yrs or less

Above is why nigeria will never be among the best IT countries.

Presently, holidaying in this lovely island.

Any Nigerians around?  It would be nice to meet up.

we are here:

thats selective: it should be clear what how many years you get for stealing X amount.

anyway, we are not impressed.

We want to see MR FIX answer his N300billion to fix ROADS.

Until then, they are only going after OBJ/PDP enemies as deterrant for future Govs not to go against OBJ: PDP BOT.

This is how Hilter started: Saying Jews were guilty for Germany problem.

OBJ enlarged the killings and assasination when he wiped-out ODI.

Ige killed and not happened.

More people died during OBJ than during Abacha.

People learn from their leaders; they are just coping Baba.

It is no-mans-land out there.

Killers are never found.

I think that he left after one tenure qualifies him. Because heroes should have positive qualities that are rare among their peers.

if thats the case; AbdulSalam is 'Africa Hero' He spent less than a term, organise elections and left quietly.

@Mamajama

Why are always interested in killings, assassins?

are you the sponsor?

are you using this medium to confirm if done before you pay the balance?



disclaimer: Just pulling your leg

I'm just asking for truth god transparency. That is what we need right now, no fanciful celebration of claims.

sadly this hard to get in present day nigeria

The New Zimbabwe?

Foreign investors tend to avoid imploding African economies. But a small crew are bucking the trend in Zimbabwe, lured by plunging asset prices and a belief that once 83-year-old President Robert Mugabe goes, recovery could be swift.

This is the second scramble for Zimbabwe.

But where is like of Dangote etc

We should not let west buy-up Zim

Mandela handed over power, after serving his term and he gave chance for the new politicians to come up

if this is what makes an African Hero; then Obasanjo is an African Hero. He handover in 1979, when Mandela was still in prison.

but I still believe this is not enough to determine 'africa hero'

do you know what it will mean to have a positive image of Nigeria?

1. a country with 150million
2. 2.3million barrel of oil per day
3. Paid cash $18billion
4. hardworking people


Investment will be driven away from South Africa.

Nigeria image must be battered as much as possible to allow other to move. Thats say on this.

I wont be surprised if this Babasin is from Cameroon. These Francophone  Africans hate South Africa.

I don't hate any africans. I rather want us to progress in mutual understanding.

What we should avoid is outside lumping values of one africa states against the other.; divide & rule.

The idea that to be an african hero, you should emulate Mandela is very wrong.

Chinua Achebe is regarded as the voice of Africa yet he writes in English.

you missing the point, he write african stories in english; there is no one single language for africa.

and there are many more celebrate african writers.

This is about who is african hero or not and what VALUE is used to determine such!

The danger is that young-ones aspire to be like their hero; if wrong values is used to select such hero; we will forever be wrong!

These are 'silent wars' that shape our thinking, without our full awares.

A people with lost values + lost history are dooomed.

We or Nigerian Govt lacks the mentality to get their priority right

It is OBJ!

was any senate invited to discuss this?

was research conducted to see pros + cons?

OBJ screwed up! and pointed by Seun; what is distribution mechanism?

even if we must go for it; why cant factory be established here? why cant OBJ negotiate something ever favourable to Nigerian??

Mandela is ultimately an hero, its not debatable, because he played a great role in bringing peace and justice to South Africa and still remain a force to reckon with.

Good so he is South Africa Hero and not African Hero?

Otherwise; what did he do for Rwanda people? What did he do for the Dafur?  what did he do for

and there assasin every where in the world!

If you dont dupe or do shady deal; assassin do not come after you. They select their victim carefuly

Kid dies in naija for dieases thats already cured in developed world

How many more 'screw-up' do we expect to uncover from this OBJ??



Nigeria should cancel this deal; get its money refunded and build libaries and stuff it with really books.

see what India has to say:

The Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry of India has rejected Nicholas Negroponte's offer of $100 laptops for schoolchildren. The Ministry is planning to make laptops at $10 for schoolchildren. The two designs submitted to the ministry from a final year engineering student of Vellore Institute of Technology and a researcher from Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore; have come to an estimated production cost of $47 per laptop, but they expect the price to become lower when volumes rise.No technical specifications have been released.

sad but this not breaking news!

do you know how many kids die every day in naija

OBJ had N20,000 cash in 1999 after prison, now he has cash N180billion.

how did he get it?

How much was is salary as president?

how much tax did he pay?


Nothing is changing in Nigeria; rather Nigeria is gradually slipping into one-party state as more people will join PDP since they wont be prosecuted

read between the line

Nigeria was the first country to order one million laptop computers.

then see what serious countries are thinking:

At the UN conference in Tunisia, several African officials, most notably Marthe Dansokho of Cameroon and Muhammad Diop of Mali were suspicious of the motives of the project, and claimed that the project was using an overly American mindset that presented solutions not applicable to specifically African problems. Dansokho said the project demonstrated misplaced priorities, stating that clean water and schools were more important for African women, who, he stated, would not have time to use the computers to research new crops to grow, and Diop specifically attacked the project as an attempt to exploit the governments of poor nations by making them pay for hundreds of millions of machines.Additionally, the price of $175/unit does not include the cost of setup, maintenance, training of teachers, and Internet access.

------

One criticism has been that the money of purchasing the laptops could be more favorably spent on libraries and schools. John Wood, founder of Room to Read, has emphasized what is affordable and can scale over high-tech solutions. While in favor of the One Laptop per Child initiative for providing education to children in the developing world at a cheaper rate, he has pointed out that a $2000 library can serve 400 children, costing just $5 a child to bring access to a wide range of books in the local languages (such as Khmer or Nepali) and English; also a $10,000 school can serve 400–500 children ($20–$25 a child). According to Wood, these are more appropriate solutions for education in the dense forests of Vietnam or rural Cambodia.

is Nigerian Govt ever capable of good-judemental-thinking before embarking on anything thrown at it?

Mandela is a hero. It takes a hero to sacrifice like he did

this is not in doubt. what is in doubt is when he is called 'african hero'

I dont hate him; just that we should be clear what is 'values' makes someone an africa hero

why is called 'African Hero'? and Jerry Rawlings is not? or Azikwe is not? or Patrice Lumba is not?

I'm not castigating Mugabe, am only stating the reasons, Mugabe is an hero, but the international press is controlled by the west, what do you expect?

--

You are castigating Mugabe for the exact reasons that he should be hailed a hero.

Now this interesting,

international press is the one determining who is/should be 'african hero'?

The danger is that outside will define us based on their critieria and this will 'silently kill africa the more,

Hakir,

I need 1 unit for me but i want mortgage. without which its not possible

Still trying to figure out what the poster is trying to achieve by starting this post

1. what is criteria to determine 'africa hero'?

2. who determine such criteria?

The point is that we africa take history for granted and allow other to tell us our history.


what makes Mandela be refered to as 'african hero' and Azikwe is not?

Although Selassie I was a very honorable man, I consider him to be mainly a hero to his own country.

so what has Mandela done for example to dafur or Mauritania? that he is referred as 'Africa Hero'
