Like this thread wasn't begging to be derailed; its subject matter is of no consequence to anybody. It was good the thread was skewed to provide some humor to what would otherwise have been an insult arena.

djustice: Yes, Aregbesola indeed once assaulted Fashola at an Exco meeting, when Fashola brought up the issue of a substantive Commissioner for Works. Aregbesola was still waiting for the tribunal and Court of Appeal Bribes to work their magic for him, and the position of Commissioner for Works was ordered to be left open for him as a fall-back position by their god, Bola Tinubu.

When Fashola raised the issue, [size=33pt]Aregbesola slapped him and told him to sit down[/size]. Asked him who the hell he thought campaigned for him to win the elections. Fashola did not retaliate, to his credit, and when Amoda Ogunlere saw him later, he tried to placate him: "Mo gbo pe Aregbe gba e loju. Ika ni boy yen o. O da, ma binu, so gbo". Again, to his credit, Fashola DID NOT tell Amoda Ogunlere or send anyone to him. Amoda was either informed by Muiz Banire or Tokunbo Afikuyomi.

[size=14pt]We Goofed On Refinery Investment In Indonesia — Jakarta Post[/size]
Wed, 19/10/2011 - 1:37am | ISAAC AIMURIE

JAKARTA POST

Jakartapost, the  website that published story about Nigeria’s plan to build three refineries in Indonesia, last week Thursday, said it goofed, LEADERSHIP can exclusively report.

A senior editor with Jakartapost, Andi Haswidi, told LEADERSHIP that “talks with Panggah Susanto, director-general for manufacturing-based industry in The Ministry of Industry, in Indonesia, revealed that the story was in fact misleading.

“He (the DG) felt that he was misquoted while speaking to reporters after attending a bilateral meeting between Nigerian industry minister and his Indonesian counterpart, M. Hidayat, last week in Jakarta,” Haswidi quoted the DG as saying.

The Jakarta editor further said: “We also spoke with the reporter who was responsible for the story. From him it was clear that Panggah referred to Nigeria when he explained investments in three refineries with each requiring Rp 8 trillion. So far we can conclude that the story is dubious. We will publish a follow-up after a meeting with Panggah. Hope that helps.”

However, Nigerian newspapers (excluding LEADERSHIP) were awash last week with reports that the Nigerian government was planning to invest Rp 24 trillion (US$2.68b/N428.8b) in Indonesia to fund the construction of three oil refineries, a report the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation declared as false.

He is Yoruba, you like it or not.

He is more Yoruba than a lot of people here. At least, he is yet to engage in nepotism like some people's uncles and associates.

And BTW, what makes you think he wants to be Yoruba, Mr. Argumentum Ad Hominem


Beaf, go on soun, ese meji

That picture is of Emperor Bokassa, who ruled an obscure African nation for decades, looting the treasury Mobutu-style, and eating the flesh of children whenever his voodoo doctors called for that ritual cannibalism.

Gbawe:
My brother, I understand your reservation but Osun has no viable alternatives. It cannot build its own new rail system. Road transport , ideally, should be avoided for the haulage of perishable produce if adequate rail transport exist. Mind you, Osun is not entirely at the mercy of the NRC because it has purchased its own rail wagon for transporting produce thus meaning Osun will work more in partnershio with the NRC rather than as a service user. If Osun owns it own Wagon then the State can arrange and controls its own delivery schedule with the NRC. Maintainance of rail track , by the NRC, is probably the main issue.

Ufeolorun:
I really want this to work.Buying into the feds rail system is a sensible(cost effective) thing to do but an alliance where you have limited or no control over one of the critical resources(railway) could  become dangerous later on,cos we know how fraudulent and shockingly inefficient our federal system is.
Osun should try create an alternative platform as well.

i really do

It seems the only thing GEJ is going to be doing in ASO ROCK till 2014 is uncovering plots. He is always uncovering one plot or another .When is he going to start leading the country instead of playing sherlock holmes in Abuja

PointB:
North wont give up Igbo
North wont give up Ijaw
North wont give up Yoruba
North wont give up Middle Belt

I laugh in North.

Soon enough, a foolish man will jump in front of a moving train. Carry on!

KnowAll:
In fact the middle belters sef don they open eyes finish, I saw some lady in some bar in London and she told me she was from Markurdi. I said to myself so you people don they travel, surely I don tay for jand oh Naija don change, when I was in Naija na only soldier Agatu people they do but now civilisation has spread all over the middle belt states of Kogi, Benue, Plateau and Southern Kaduna(there is woman from S.Kaduna in my church and she is a businesswoman extraordinary, even S.Kaduna don they travel well well. Those are the wonders of education. Meanwhile Hausa/Fulani are still roaming all over the countryside with cows leaving a life their forefathers lived in the 1920’s in 2011.

sweet9ja:
The other day thesame SR reported that naija is investing almost US$3B in oil refinaries in an Asian country.
Now they reporting that the naija FR has been depleted to US$3.5B.
Wow, I wonder where these subversive elements get their news from and who their pay masters are? Idiots.

Gbawe: Okonjo-Iweala Hunts for FDI, Meets Soros, Others
Posted by admin Headlines Sunday, August 7th, 2011

Incoming Finance Minister and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has commenced hunting for Nigeria’s needed foreign direct investment (FDI) in the United States, with meetings with top financiers and key global investors.
This move is in pursuit of President Goodluck Jonathan’s focus on growing the economy by boosting investment and job creation in the country.

The meetings, which were held in New York and Washington DC, were centred on exploring opportunities in different sectors of the Nigerian economy especially with regards to financing important projects in the country.

THISDAY learnt that among the financial and investment heavyweights she had met so far were the iconic financier, Mr. George Soros, as well as the heads of two of the biggest investment banks in the US – Citigroup CEO, Mr. Vikram Pandit, and CEO of JP Morgan Chase, Mr. Jamie Dimon.

[size=14pt]According to a source at the meeting, the discussions were both “positive and promising”.
The investors are clearly interested in Nigeria[/size] and would invest under the right conditions and environment but they also expressed concern about some aspects of the country’s financial and economic management.

In particular, the financiers and investors would like to see a tighter approach to macroeconomic management, including a better budgetary process, improvements in the investment climate and greater transparency and rule of law in the country.

KnowAll:
BB would rule Naija wether we like it or not, as long as CPC hold on to their states and placate Tinubu, Fashola would be in our corner, then like a Tsunami they would clear all the votes. Politics is about compromise.
