But some of the other games mentioned in this thread also won awards in specific categories in this year's Spike Video games award.

KBrown:
Sometimes, I wonder if majority of those claiming to know it all knows anything at all. Everyone clamour for the good things of life but it is taboo for them to support the government to deliver.
Here is an elected President who has identified a way in the removal of fuel subsidy but Nigerians would not understand.

For a sincere mind, it is simple logic that if market forces are allowed to determine the prices of petroleum products, it will encourage investors to move into the oil sector, create jobs and engender competition. On the long run, just like we wanted, prices will crash naturally. However, since we always look for shorcuts, most of us would like to eat our cake and  have it.  

Being a peace loving President who hate the thought of Nigerians being killed in a senseless uprising, he has decided to tarry a while for more consultations as to why we have to endure the initial pains of fuel subsidy for future gains and we are still crying! Sure, it will  take a mad man to straighten things in this land. I make bold to say that I voted for GEJ and he has not disappointed me one bit! I would rather have a listening President than any other!

You talk as if you do not understand the real issues that are at stake here. Subsidy removal will directly lead to an increased cost of living for many many Nigerians including yourself. GEJ appears unable to deal with the real cause here which is corruption.

You seem to have set the bar so low to be impressed by GEJ's performance so far. The rest of us want something better, much better.

Was this not an issue that GEJ’s presidency was said to have sorted once and for all. Well I hope this recent scarcity is ended soon. Smh @ NNPC

We dey watch this section o, voting don start for other sections since morning una dey tell us 11:30 for here. Which kain arrangement be this.

chino11:
Good one, at least one can drive round this xmas.

There are lines appearing again in petrol stations here in Abuja. What does this mean?

I've just voted too but I can't see the result of the polls so far, all I get is a message saying I should register or log in to vote.

^You a chess man too? Interesting.

Good move.

There is nothing on ground to suggest that the so called savings from subsidy will not end up in the pockets of our thieving elites. Hassan Abubakar must be new to the entity called Nigerian or exceptionally naive.

Don't want to derail this thread but can an unmarried (single) adult adopt a child in Nigeria?

Was it because Soap died?

Kobojunkie:
Who are those that sang praises when the 2011 Budget was announced?

I recall some Nlanders rejoicing that the Education allocation for that year was the highest and GEJ was positioning the country for greatness. Apparently that was all part of the election campaign.

Praises were sang last year when the 2011 budget was announced. People shouldn't have any grouse with the structure of the budget per se but it's implementation.

We have a new spammer in the person of ocular007. Moderators kindly deal with this.

blacksta:
I give Nigeria another 10 years and THe American obese culture will take over. I understand Kfc outlets are springing up everywhere , wait till macdonalds joins.

The American obese culture will have a hard time gaining a foothold in Nigeria if GEJ goes ahead with the fuel subsidy removal. Folks will be very lean in the post subsidy era because of the ensuing high cost of living.

nanidee:
I hope this OP is okay!!

Seun should start charging for posting new topics. Smh!

Hahahaha

But if such a move was implemented then the paid hacks of the people in power will own the place and this forum will just die.

Move the protest to January 9. People will still be enjoying the New Year celebrations to even think of protesting that day

Like this will ever happen even.

wesley80:
Whom among Obj, Yaradua, Abacha, IBB do you rank above him in terms of public speaking? Feel free to extend the list.

IBB. The reason GEJ's case is peculiar is because he is a Ph.D holder, his public speaking skills are mediocre. But I'm sure this issue has been debated to death here on NL so lets live it at that.

[quote author=lanre_front link=topic=824004.msg9755444#msg9755444 date=1323777407]Jonathan wants to satisfy the greed of corruption and the yearnings of the people at the same time. Imagine about 30 billion naira unaccounted for daily. And they say the only money available to build infractructure is the one to be obtained through the unbearble burden of fuel increase and disastrous ripples of hyper-inflatiom it will cause in the economy.[/quote]N30 billion? The initial report says N1.033 billion

Yeah but he needs help though. Public speaking isn't one of his strengths.

. And off course GEJ's cassava garri bread gets a mention.  

Listening to this guy is a pain. Hopefully written copies of this speech will be available for our perusal soon.

So far none of them have been able to sell this their subsidy removal idea to the masses yet the government persists even with all these follies? That's why the good is in quotation marks. What they have succeeded in doing so far is display their gross incompetence.

These people are making a "good" case for this subsidy removal. Who knows what really is going on?

TRUTHTELA:
“When we solve those problems, we are going to be in the low double digits and that will parachute Nigeria into the BRICS,” the minister said.

Even if speaking figuratively how does one parachute into anything? And what does the S stand for in BRICS? A typo maybe?

Kingoflag correctly noted that the minister didn't mention corruption as one of the major obstacles in our country's march to greatness. This is this indicative of how this issue is being treated -we sweep it under the carpet and expect it to go away.

OK so the elites have set their minds on subsidy removal so its time to impose it on the helpless masses.

In effect what we are saying is that they have all agreed that the masses should pay for government's failures/inefficiencies. Brilliant.

That was an error in the magnitude of Rick Perry's at the Republican debate. I could go back and edit it but I fear the spambot's hammer. So I'll be issuing a statement to the press that the slip while colossal is regretted and can only be blamed on haste. How I could classify Nathan Drake's exploits in Arabia as role play is an error I can't explain. Action Adventure is the more appropriate category.

OP
T.A Orji's projects are off to a jetty acceleration? (sic) And then you go ahead to display bush clearing pictures. This is a lame attempt at propaganda. Try again.

East /South South for me.

musKeeto:
ah, sorry, foreign monkey

Funny thread indeed.

Spartacus and Gannicus? Who are these people?

Let's see the KPMG report first and not Sahara Reporters' version of the report. Else you-know-who will easily spin this one away.
