Why do people always think Secession leads to war? War leads to secession not the other way around,

I haven't wrapped my head around resource control but I think since the people are in regions and states, the only thing the FG should be controlling is security in which case, states pay 10% to the FG every other thing should be handled by the states, Roads leading to states should be built between the states the road wil stretch through etc,

This system we are currently in is a dictatorship!! For those thinking War will break out? Who will fight the war?

All forms of war leads to secession, Political war, ethnic war, religious war, ideological war, trade war, etc, no matter how it starts leads to secession, Secession has never lead to war never!! No one gets up in a working union and demand secession, there is always some form of war leading to secession!!!

Quite correct. If we have a weak centre and autonomous units, who would want to kill themselves for the Presidency? Everybody would have to develop their own backyards or be laughed at.

As for war? There is already a low intensity war being fought; thats why we here its "North vs the rest" all the time; its why GEJ is referred to as "your President" by certain leaders of certain sections.
Count the number of violent deaths from political strife since last October, it is in the high thousands, with 90% in the North. Is that not war? It just hasn't broken out into an all out fracas, but its like match and tinder, anything can happen anytime.

[quote author=ndu_chucks]@naijababe, you are a breath of fresh air in this discussion. The trouble with Nigerians is that when they talk about resources, they only think OIL.  At the moment because of the dutch disease, most other mineral resources and natural resources are sitting dormant and untapped.  My proposal will unleash the untapped wealth present in abundance, in every region which hitherto, has been ignored because oil as been the only focus.

People like Beaf are narrow minded and lazy, they only think oil and oil bunkering. The ignorance of those people is the main reason why they cannot understand the advantages and fairness of my proposal.[/quote]Someone introduced oil into the discussion. Was that lazy person me or you, my Aboki friend?

With the wisdom gleaned from the past and recent bombings, it doesn't make sense to remain glued to any other sections destiny, especially when worldviews are so wildly disparate. There are very deep issues of trust to be resolved, especially with the weaponisation of religion in the last elections and its use to propagate pogroms and boko haram (the ultimate blackmail tool). Nobody is interested in sharing with those who wish to kill them. Trust like religious inclination, is an important factor in the nations greatest resource, the humans who make up its citizenry.
Let there be 100% resource control, physical and human. That will take care of the fact that while some are boko haram lovers, the citizens from the nations cookie jar have been poisoned on an industrial scale and those from other sections couldn't give a phuck. A bloody 900 times the safe limits of benzene in Ogoni land? What does it matter? A massive proportion of the "monkeys" from the ND suffer from strange cancers and respiratory issues? Damn the suckers, lets secure the oil.

It only makes sense to give extremely favourable developmental loans to the enemy under UN supervision. No one would really care that much what the loans are used for as long as there is true federalism, with true regional autonomy; bought and paid for.
It would be suicidal to get tied into longterm agreements without cast iron, solid concrete assurances that crude blackmail like boko haram and "Islamic Banking" would never ever be deployed.

So sad, may his soul rest in peace.

Sorted.

You just keep jumping around with your accusations. Second coming of Jesus? I thought that was what GEJ was supposed to be with his promises to transform Nigeria, end tribalism and such high fallutin stuff among a littany of other promises. And yes, "every knee shall bow" to GEJ according to you - that sounds more like Jesus than anybody I can remember.

Tea party in the U.S., blackmail for egunje - bring out your evidences for open debate instead of this "trust me" you are engaged in.

If a vote was to be cast today for Sanusi's sack, where would your ACN vote, and why? Abeg, mek we hear word! Its all about fake separatism for envelopes.

koruji:
You are really showing a "true" face. Can you fight ACN for PDP without becoming an ethnic bigot. Where did you find "ACN's logic of ethnic separation"?

ACN helped liberate a people from the evil claws of PDP and you are here talking about ethnic separation logic. How about the logic of throwing off leaders who have had a good chance, but could not meet the aspirations of the people. If you know what is good for you in Balyesa you would find an alternative to PDP - it doesn't have to be ACN mind you. If ACN doesn't work for the SW, they would also be replaced, but never with PDP and its pack of thieves - as long as free choice is allowed during election time.

I really don't care if ACN is the second coming of Jesus. I am talking about how they carry on like the Tea Party in the US, pretending to be right wing when all their leaders do is blackmail for egunje.

[quote author=ndu_chucks link=topic=728281.msg8873550#msg8873550 date=1312725666]@ekun_bear, when it becomes obvious to people that most of the 40billion in reserves come from deep water fields like Agbami, Erha, Akpo, and Bonga, the SS man would understand the fairness in my proposal. 85% - 90% of this reserve is offshore. Bonga alone produces 10% of all of our crude oil today. You'll have to get the book I told you about or physically go to NNPC to confirm these numbers - trust me, the numbers are accurate

I'd go further by stating that as part of my 'Freeze' activity, the Feds should close 60 -70% of the onshore oilfields in the ND region and concentrate on cleaning up the environmental damage they've done there. There is enough untapped oil in that region to keep them happy for a long time without the offshore oil. My proposal is fair and realistic.[/quote]Nobody will ever understand such a wacky proposal. Every section will be going to an SNC with the outside possibility that the nation might not survive it. It would be a last ditch attempt to make our ugly union sane and equitable. So why would anyone attend with foolish thoughts of ceding territory to an enemy country?

As for breaking up not being possible without a war, that is true if a section resists. However, no section can sustain all out war against the sections provide 85% of Nigeria's spending money. No be moi moi. Lol! That is why the core-North has taken a safe bet on boko haram and sited it in far away Borno state. The long and short is, if the rest of the country finally tires off the core-North and wages war to push them out, it would be a very crushing, horrible defeat.

Ibime:
So is something wrong with the banks or not? And is something wrong with sacking the corrupt CEOs? I no understand your yarnings.

I never mentioned banks (outside of CBN) until you did. The thread is simpply about what is required to boot Sanusi into the long grass.

oyb:
abegi how many senate votes or next exposes before we can get rid of alison diezani maduekwe?

There is nothing you can do about her, even with magic. Lol!
Face your front!

^
Dude, I've never agreed that there was anything wrong with the banks. CEO's committing crimes is quite different from banks being bad.
Abeg, don't derail the thread jare.

olawalebab:
Beaf, why the need to sack sanusi? This guy is doing his job now.

Seriously?
There is no body more disruptive, divisive and unqualified to be CBN boss. Since 2009, I have maintained that the man is an agbero, with recent happenings, that view is now vindicated.

Lol!

hollandis:
he swore never 2 allow sentiments n religion/ethnicity affect his position as cbn governor,surely thats enough in my opinion

Sadly, there is an involved procedure to drop a CBN gov. The man is accountable to nobody under Nigerian law (CBN Act 2007), you have to imagine the sort of crazy folk that come up with such. I guess its easy to say this now though, noone ever expected that we would ever have a red-eyed sharia crazy at the helm of the CBN.

Jakumo:
Sounds like a replay of the Oldham riots of a few years back, and of the Paris ghetto riots.

With the opportunities for gainful employment, subsidised housing, universal free medical coverage and free education in the United Kingdom, anyone who feels a need to riot is in my opinion a lazy phuck who should be slam-dunked in the slammer for any property damage caused by this mindless violence.

Anyone who feels unhappy with life in the United Kingdom, or who feels that the state owes them a free ride on account of their racial classification, should feel free to board the next flight to Africa, Afghanistan or Pakistan, where they will find out first hand just how caring the state can be, and how civil unrest and hooliganism gets tamed in typical Third World fashion.

Word!
What happenned in the UK overnight was an absolutely shocking disgrace. Totally inexcusable.

[quote author=dem_people link=topic=728281.msg8872727#msg8872727 date=1312713188]ekt_bear and Beaf my brothers,

I don tire well well to dee post extensively for this section. Even one day sef, una sef go tire as una go don realize say all these our posts sef no dee reach anywhere. At the end of the day, it all seems we're all talking to ourselves cos our useless leaders never venture into this forum and the country isn't changing directly/ indirectly as a result of this section.

But I still dee read through posts. Not just typing as I used to.

Keep it up guys!

I no longer occupy myself with the politics of Nigeria, as somewhat a hobby.[/quote]You will be surprised who reads and you never know who might become tomorrows leader that had their tutelage on NL. You never know.

[quote author=ndu_chucks link=topic=728281.msg8872947#msg8872947 date=1312716753]The above must have been designed to be inflammatory, but I will not fall for it because I know its your typical way of attempting to change the topic of discussion.  Before you can say that any Nigerian does not have any business discussing offshore resources, you must first secede and form your own Isoko nation. The last region which tried to secede lost almost a million lives, thanks to traitors from your region. I’d suggest you tone down these war cries. Olodo[/quote]I am sure you have realised that time has changed a lot from the days when you guys 100% populated NNPC, simply asked Shell to provide any figure, any figure! . . .For the number of barrels drilled per day, while they signed the dotted line, received the brown envelopes and a million almajiri's were generated.

The best you will get at the negotiating table will be UN supervised, negotiated development loans on the most favourable terms. Defaults will be corrected by F-16.
There are known commercial reserves of oil and gas in the SE, SS and SW; both onshore and offshore. So what maga will seat and discuss freezing of the current situation or ceding offshore assets?

I quite believe that the Middle Belt, SE, SS and SW can coexist in a nation that practises true federalism. The core-North can form the sharia type country they always wanted.

olawalebab:
Beaf and co. Please lets have it cool and face the topic. Thanks

Me, I no fight anybodi na! I just wondered why an American parrot would come here to fire shots at Nigeria. He might as well jump in the ocean with a cement necklace, while those of us with a stake in Nigeria buckle down and build a beautiful thing.

Your post looks quite violent with that large text and the axe.
--'Runs away, fast!--

Even in the West, 99% of CV's are "hyped." Everyone does it.

Sacking sanusi will require 2/3's of the senate vote; http://www.abududalley.net/publications/CENTRAL%20BANK%20OF%20NIGERIA%20ACT%202007%20-%20SIGNIFICANT%20CHANGES.pdf

There are 109 senators (3 per state and one for the FCT). 82 will be required if GEJ decides to give Sanusi the boot.
The states in red will be expected to vote against a sanusi sacking due to ethnic and religious factors. While those purple would do so, because it helps with ACN's logic of ethnic seperation, that will leave just 72 votes to play with, well short of 2/3's and not all would be sure.

Sanusi is an immovable blot on the nations landscape.

Olizedo:
No!
Unfortunately, dense Nigerians will call you 'unpatriotic' for even constructive criticisms.
Anyhoo, goodluck!
I loved Nigeria as a child till I left Nigeria as an adult. The most wicked people I have come across the face of these Earth of a planet are NIGERIAN CHRISTIANS!

I am an American Patriot Parrot.
NEVER A NIGERIAN ONE. . .It did nothing for me but breed a bunch of 'backward' irritants in a useless country called Nigeria. Enemies of progress.

God bless America!
No love for Nigerians(except innocent Nigerian children).

An American parrot?!
Ni tori Olorun!

The woman is going nowhere. Shell needs to try new tricks, the ones before the ministerial appointments failed and these ones will fail as well.

Those from core-Northern states have no business talking about offshore oil and gas installations. If the country breaks up (as seems likely with the belligerence of you, our aboki friends), then what business would you have with the sea? Bera to worry about the shores of Lake Chad instead.

solihu:
Amen to that!

At least some lazy backsides would for once get to being productive. Imagine a Nigeria without militants, constant chorus of we get oil so we suppossed to be living in paradise doing nothing but 'flexing' & some of these m*t*f*r*s want out on that pretext!

Damn! This comment really made my day, I'm laughing so hard!
Its really funny that anyone can blame Nigeria's problems on militants!

The journalists did not do their job well unfortunately.

They are heating up the polity unnecessarily.

Though I am anti-Ibo on NL , i still want the truth

If you have ever dealt with Howard, you'd know that Howard is very unorganized, and dysfunctional.

The people at Howard from the janitor to the CEO are all incompetent goons

We dont know why her degree was not released in 1987. it seems that 234Next is insinuating that it took her 9 years to complete her degree, which is impossible in most American colleges. You get 6 yrs max to finish, after that and you are not done, you are kicked out. Why did Howard not kick her out?


I assume the delay has to do with money issues. Maybe she had outstanding bills that made Howard hold on to her degree, and it was only released after she was cleared by the accounting department.


Irrespective, the report was inconclusive and shabby. I am really ashamed of 234next. This is not one of their best exposés, if you can call it that.

See what bigotry can do? Allison Madueke is not Igbo.

This is Shell fighting a war with Nigeria, because of the PIB and Deziani's unstoppable efforts to bring sanity and accountabilty to the petroleum sector. Its a losing battle.

The tea party is America's boko haram/Ciroma/IBB/Atiku. Vampires.

The end of the USA? Not possible.
The American influence is bound to shrink globally, directly due to the debt ceiling saga, but that country is the World leader in high tech and patent registration. There's a lot of life in the old elephant yet.

We are going to witness the crumbling of the racist tea parties instead.

You're still the same ol' funny guy. This is what the challenge is:

There are two parts to the question.

A scheduler that accepts a task.

A timer that runs this task at exponential time intervals.

So the first time the timer runs the task it will run it for 1 sec.

after the task finishes it should then rerun the task for 2 sec, then 4 sec until it gets to a steady state of 900 secs at which point it can stop.

An example practical use of this is as a simple retry algorithm for reconnecting to a lost database connection. You know typically you might have somewhere in you code that says if you lose db connection try to reconnect. if it fails wait for a few secs and retry again.

. . .And I'm slam on 100%. It doesn't tell you what the tasks in question are (LOL!), just that they might implement an interface. All we need do, is provide the correct running time for each task. You made some wild assumptions and ended up with like 3 pages of code for what a few lines would have done.

Bow down to the code god, some (like me) are bound to be better than others.

While plotting your next reply, help yourself with this; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Task_(computing)

How hard is it to be more wrong than you? Stop extending the question and bow down to a sweet, sexy solution that shows a lil bit of panties.
