[quote author=ndu_chucks link=topic=814535.msg9674797#msg9674797 date=1322788459]Nna you people are hilarious!! LWKMD [/quote]Are they hilarious or dodging issues in vain? I wonder if you too sectretly admire corrupt people. Its a disgrace.

Please, could you clean up the thread at the link below and ban both activa and oyb for using insulting pictures against me when I have been warned not to do the same and banned several times for that reason? oyb is a moderator and is expected to be of exemplary behaviour.

I can do ten times as much as what is on that thread, but I would like to see if any action is taken.

Thank you.

My brother, do the honours and carve up the Ogufe Beaf. Your knife appears very scarily sharp. Abeg, please carve up the 'malu' real good ojare. Negroes are hungry up in here. We can't wait to chew some 'grilled' Beaf Ewure.

You are a dummy as well as a hypocrite. But I am used to the cowardly tactics you people employ and they only go to shame you as lovers of corruption in the dark (so long as the corruption is within your ethnic group) who come out in the day to cry foul, when it is from outside. It is what they call, being shamelessly two-faced.

So you knew you were the clown without being told? Run along now, mummy has bought you new smilies. This is not a place for pubescent airy headed types in thrall to corruption.

If fuel subsidy is what your revolution is about, then you are jobless. I would expect a revolution to be about true federalism and the hammering out of a contract between citizen and state; so that each individual knows their rights and responsibilities, just as the state would know its rights and responsibilities.
Why can't your revolution be about the passing of the PIB, the abrogation of the anti-people land use decree, the repealling of the petroleum act etc.

These days, people just wake up, talk nonsense and walk straight into the bush, because they wouldn't simply read to know the difference between left and right.

Funkymallam:
U mean all d state govs. Dats PDP + ACN + CPC + APGA + LP. Serious issue den but y are they making it look like a PDP tin?

The governors were the first to call for the removal of the subsidy, even before GEJ mentioned it.

They never thought things would backfire, or perhaps they fear Ndume will cough up many names. Too late, they should have condemned boko haram long ago (they still haven't).

Demdem:
The onus is on the prosecutors, tinubu's accuser to prove their case beyond every reasonably doubt. This they have failed woefully.

What the Northern ACN is saying is that Tinubu should face any court cases that spring up against him. They will not go into any partisan screaming from the sidelines. I believe that is a very principled stance to take, if Tinubu ends up convicted for his crimes in the near future, they would have been vindicated.

[quote author=*dhtml link=topic=813442.msg9660853#msg9660853 date=1322633861]This is serious mehn. When the .NET rave started - i heard all of them get the same power - so naturally i picked vb.net
but i was too engrossed in web development and just abandoned everything.
But i heard that it was C# that was the main then sha - to create controls and all that. So now you are saying VB.NET is obsolete?

That one go mean civil war be that o - because ha!!![/quote]It was obsolete from the first day it was created. Just like J# and JScript.
VB.NET was simply a tool to get VB users on the .NET bandwagon, it wasa always the much abused foster child. I came down the path of Perl, Java, VBScript to VB.NET. But even in those early days, it was easy to read the tea leaves and see that VB.NET was a dead end. I am happy I made the switch long ago.
There is so much you can gain with C#; outside Windows, there are native implementations like Vala (there are also LLVM compilers) and there is Mono for Linux. The syntax is an easy bridge for learners to other languages like C++ and Java. Aside from the sort of support MS gives C#, practically all advanced .NET examples and tutorials on the web are in C#.

Microsofts greatest trick on VB.NET users is to get top developers preaching against VB.NET (for PR reasons, it is understandable why they don't do it directly).
The parts of Vista and Windows 7 that are written in the .NET Framework are written in C#. Nuff said.

VB.NET is a dead end

montelik:
Kimi probably won't be with Renault beyond next season. I can already see him at Red Bull alongside Vettel in 2013. Unless Webber has a spectacular season next year its likely his last at Red Bull if not F1. Mercedes could also be a potential destination by 2013. Ferrari might be interested in re-acquiring him but with d long-term commitment to Alonso I doubt its possible. Mclaren are perfectly comfortable with their setup, so no reason to mess with it unless some one throws a tantrum.

I don't think Red Bull will have an ice cold person who doesn't give a damn about anything upstaging Vettel. Kimi cannot attract sponsorship money, wouldn't give a damn about adverts and PR etc. Don't forget that Kimi was the worst World champ, his season just came and went. Red Bull would rather have a Lewis or Alonso, and they've said so too and those two can pull in money and crowds.

Mercedes would be a great bet if Schumi leaves and Kimi already knows a thing or two about them through his time at McLaren. Also Mercedes isn't into any sort of glamour. The only issue is how he would mix with Ross Brawn, that guy looks pretty severe and no-nonsense.

Lol! See the sort of clown Gbawe attracts.

Really sad.

What a romantic guy! So nice!
I hope the girl realises she has got a man that will go the extra mile and not ditch him for an ugly bastar'd in a Mercedes with tufts of grey hair freely flowing from his nostrils.

Why do you talk so much? Like a market woman? Damn!
Shame on you, dancing a boogie woogie for Tinubu; corruption, a thief and fraudster with no known name, family history and armed with a "Toronto" degree, forged on Oluwole street.
As soon as day breaks, you will be the one crying in the loudest voice about how you hate "corruption." What a disgrace!

This is the word you and your crowd are:

beaf die heart supporter of the president come and defend your oga on this one

We need to wait for the full explanation to come out before crying wolf and weeping blood. I too am waiting to hear the full story like you, so why not be patient? I do not like speculation. gossip or rumour and will not base arguments on such. January is just next month, so lets wait in order to have informed arguments.

compared with what the bourgeoisie, who have formed a cartel of the so-called oil importers who rake in N1.3trillion of Nigerians’ money to their pockets. What value are these people adding to the country?” he queried.

The above should give you lines along which to research before the full gist comes out.

Usually, just a summary of the contract sum and scope of work is given after FEC meetings. BPP and budget office however publish quarterly breakdown of projects in major Nigerian dailies. The figures here (without the breakdown) kinda looks high for the said project- in my own opinion.


The details or breakdown of "specialized equipment" it will come with wasn't given. We can only guess that it will come with A B and C which will just be our opinion (without claim).

Wait, How come accessories and "add-on" equipment will now make the cost of a chopper which is originally designed as a medical rescue chopper be twice the average cost of the base configuration.

Those things you call add ons can cost much more than most choppers. Military equipment isn't cheap and search and rescue is a notoriously expensive area; the same goes for air ambulances. I am sure that is why we can only afford one search and rescue / air ambulance.

The above said, I would expect the most scrutinised area to be books for schools. At least, we all know what those cost.

The decision to provide books for primary schools in the country saw the Council approve 15 per cent of the 2 per cent of the Consolidated Revenue Fund for intervention to fund procurement of instructional materials to enhance quality of education in primary schools. So far primaries three to six pupils had been covered leaving primaries one and to now covered in this tranche.

“In order to sustain this laudable programme which aims at ensuring quality basic education in Nigeria in accordance with the Transformation Agenda of the President, and following a memo by the Minister of Education, Council approved the printing and distribution of English Language, Mathematics, activity-based science, Basic Science and Technology and Social Studies Textbooks for primaries one and two pupils, Library resource Materials for Junior Secondary Schools (JSS) students in public schools nationwide by the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) for the sum off N6,638,349,049.00,” Maku said.

Education is finally getting quality attention. I wonder if the books would be passed on free or if they will be subsidised and sold for a token? Anyone know?

abacus:
Oga Demdem, abeg leave that GEJ Bottom-licker for his misfortunes. No let am waste your time.

Wondering who harassed bottles of alcohol early  in the morning? Bloody maggot. Beef oloshi

Di tin pain you abi!
You forgot to sign in as dustydee. Abi na di unnecessary early morning bottles of aki de mek you see double?

Gbawe:
Man mi, he is what the Yorubas call an 'Eran Iya' i.e an animal that loves punishment and beatings How many people , especially after bragging that Tinubu is heading to jail as Beaf did, would show face here to begin talking of a "plea bargain"? The fool does not even know how ridiculous he sounds. Then again, an 'Eran iya' never does. Eran iya can only act in ways that will bring it beatings and humiliation.

You are no better than an agbero and times like this show your true colours in all their unabashed hypocrisy.
You sit here praising corruption, yet you would be the first to scream loudly about "corruption." There is just one word for it, hypocrisy.

This is a statement you made earlier. It is spine chilling in its id!ocy:

Gbawe: My brother, like or hate them, folks like Tinubu, Nkrumah, IBB, OBJ et al are not mediocrities with only luck and kingmaking to thank for what history associates them with.

How dare you soil the name of Nkrumah with names of thieves, murderers, frauds and drug barons? Dude, you are a shocking disgrace.
The other time, you regaled us with words that stretched morality to wretchedness, telling us Tinubu is a "necessary thief!"

I have come to the conclusion that you lack morals and have no shame. Liars and thieves find good company with each other, keep exposing your true self.

These are pretty serious allegations that deserve to be thoroughly investigated. Whatever the case may be, we must demand answers as to why a man who was arrested hail and hearty from his hotel room and by some accounts, shot in the leg by the police on the hotel premises, ended up dead in police custody, with fatal bullet wounds.
Questions must be answered.

I really feel for Kimi. From two top teams, down the ladder to Renault.
O well! At least we'll get classic, forthright stuff like this interview in F1 again!

Kimi: "I was having a shiit."

MRbrownJAY:
did Vettel post fastest laps from the moment he had gearbox issues?! dont understand your post.

Yeah, he did. He was exchanging fastest laps with Webber until the team ordered him to stop it.
I don't believe anything was wrong with his car.

Gbawe:
Shut up !!! You are the "animal" you accuse others to be !!!! As if we don't know the bigoted and fake source of your anger over Tinubu's acquital. Repellent and prejudiced idiots like you are worthless to Nigeria with how you create fabrication , such as that below, out of sheer bigotry. Yoruba "overtly promiscous" indeed. I guess the entire world can see how it is Yoruba women , and no others from Nigeria, who are the 'ashewos, in Italy, South Africa, Ghana et al. Nonsense. silly bigot always accusing others of what they are not innocent of.

Man, it's better for you to hide now. You are still talking about certainty. No be so you litter everywhere on nairaland with certain information that Tinubu was going to jail on this matter

a honourable man should know when to keep quiet and hide!!! you can't win all arguments.

Beaf, hide now. and pray for your day to come. you can't be certain about it.

Where does the article mention Jonathan, or have you been harrassing bottles of alcohol again this early morning?

dustydee:
5000-2600=2400. close to 5000MW indeed. I hope it is not a scam like the December date given 2years ago.

The article is talking about this month and yet you mention some nebulous unfulfilled promise from the past. This month has only 31 days, ok?
Let us draw notes in a few days time. Simples.

Now I understand why people are critical of your objectivtiy.must u defend this charade at all cost ?. What breakdown are you looking when there wasn't even a need in the first. Is it about breakdown or the value dreviation from investment. They can choose to add whatever they like to the breakdown. The question is what is really neeeded ?. To start with, where are the rails to use them ?

My guy, I am only asking you to defend what you have claimed. I can see that you cannot provide a breakdown, many people make serious claims that they can't back.
Thanks for your time, bruv.

Poor unprincipled bigot.
Abeg, face your front; only intelligent and principled folk are needed here. This thread does not encourage ethnically bigoted liars that promote bribery as a way for the corrupt to escape justice.

Shame on you.

Bigoted lying hypocrite.

@Beaf.


To start with the Nigerian Railway Corporation have more than enough signalling capacity on that route to the extent that they tried to sell part of it to the private sector. They were not successful because the stations are poorly managed and often without Diesel to power them. They have both VHF and microwave in all the repeater sites. They operate on 6GHZ radio links and the equipments comes cheap. A set of radio for a repeater costs less than $20k. They already have masts, base station equipments, generators, inverters. Name them.Now they are asking for another N6B. It is a complete fraud

I understand that from your words, the radio for a repeater costs less than $20,000.00, but in order to be convinced, you need to provide a complete breakdown, account for every item in the quote below. Thanks.

“Following a memorandum by the Minister of Transport, council approved the design supply installation and commissioning of new signalling and communication solutions for the Easter line including two branch lies for the ministry of Transport and NRC, in favour of Messrs A3 & O/ANSALDO Ltd., in the sum of N5, 616, 459,436.22 only, inclusive of all taxes with a completion period of 14months.

So the Tony Momoh/Buhari group wants Timipre Sylva, while Senator Hanga's group does not and they are quarrelling on the pages of the press!
Senator Hanga's group is also set to eject CPC from its national headquarters. They have been issued a quit notice over non payment of rent.

Comical.

[size=14pt]Factions disagree over Timipre Sylva's move to CPC[/size]

The call by the national secretary of the Congress for Progressive Change, (CPC) Buba Galadima that the Bayelsa State governor, Timipre Sylva may be considered for the party's gubernatorial ticket in the 2012 election in the state has been described as the peak of political hypocrisy by the rival executive led by Senator Hanga.

The group, in a statement issued by its national publicity secretary, Dennis Aghanya, described as "most surprising to read the comment of the secretary of the Tony Momoh group on the development in Bayelsa state concerning the PDP's primaries that the PDP breached the right of the unwanted from contesting and thus cleared the way for the anointed and that the door of our party, the CPC, are open to the embattled Bayelsa State governor Timipre Sylva, on the ground that he is a victim of injustice."

Mr Dennis stated that while the group do however not intend to involve the CPC in the internal affairs of another political party, "it is absurd, ironical and the height of hypocrisy to hear people who are dirty-stained with similar crime at the 2011 general election, judging another person on a similar issue. He who goes to equity must go with clean hands. It is like the pot calling the kettle black. On what moral basis is Buba Galadima commenting on the issue when he was the main culprit of the same offence in the CPC in the last elections?"

Stating that the PDP gubernatorial primaries in Bayelsa State has vindicated why the CPC is challenging the result of the 2011 presidential election in the Supreme Court, Mr Galadima had in the statement issued on Monday stated that "as an innocent victim of fascism, CPC is sympathetic to Governor Timipre Sylva and all other victims of PDP's and the President's injustice. Our party's doors are wide open to all. We are willing to give every Nigerian a sanctuary against injustice and victimization by the state."

The Senator Hanga group however described the development in Bayelsa as a farce that cannot be compared to what the Tony Momoh group was accused to have done in the CPC, claiming that "the Tony Momoh group in the contrary allowed our innocent party faithful to purchase forms, spent money to campaign, participated in the primaries and worn only to be substituted at the last minute either because highest bidders or their friends without political values emerged from nowhere.

"The CPC was clearly at the top of the competition before the elections until candidates who won primaries were substituted. At the end of the elections we managed to win just one governorship elections in Nasarawa State. Even most of the national and state assembly elections won by the CPC candidates were petitioned by the Tony Momoh group at the various tribunals simply because their preferred candidates failed to clinch the party's ticket."

The group also stated that if Mr Sylva wishes to contest under the CPC platform, he should be ready to go through our primaries and as such contest with our candidate and others who have been on ground. Nobody should expect an automatic ticket in the CPC.

"Moreover, our aspirant, Famous Daunumigha, has not declined on his earlier mandate but we as a political party will be ready to abide by the electoral act. Moreover, the CPC is not a dumping ground for people who lost out in their political parties. We respect Timipre Sylva and wish that the crisis in the PDP can be settled amicably so that the polity generally cannot further be heated up. As a ruling party, the PDP should lead by example."

9ja4eva:
Is there a database in place to support this?

I am not really sure if it needs any sort of elaborate database system, but I might be misunderstanding your question.

lagbaja:
The Railway contract is bougous and overbloated. The so called signalling equipments are not different from what obtains in the GSM sector and it would have costed a small fraction of that amount.
The signalling should have been outsourced to the private sector, a company like Helios with exisitng telecomms infracstructure would have done a great job.

Provide a simple breakdown, sir and then give counter-arguments. However I see no specific figures for rail mentioned in the article; I might be wrong though, and maybe you do. Please educate us, thank you.

Nigeria is Africa's largest crude oil exporter and while the majority of the country's 150 million residents live below the poverty line, there are hundreds who have a large share in billions of dollars from the continent's biggest oil industry.

This is by far the saddest bit of the article. How can a nation so blessed see its riches cornered by a few greedy and corrupt bastar'ds?

Stuff like that makes me lean toward outright removal of the oil subsidy. Firstly, lets understand that "oil subsidy" means many things, but boils down to paying people to import fuel that is refined abroad, while destroying the refineries at home.

It is noteworthy, that in their times, IBB and Abacha built personal refineries in Ivory Coast, Benin Republic and Sierra Leone, so that they could benefit from the "oil subsidy."
