well. . . . . I would like to know any suggestions as to how a collapse
of the banking system would have been averted without pumping money
into the banking system.

Whether through printing money or through borrowing money or whatever means anyone
thought was better, it was a case of damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Don't you think thats a bit being dramatic? There are two sides to the coin, it is best to allow any dust raised to settle, as well as the resolution of all legal issues; then we'll be able to see clearly enough to make judgements one way or the other; its too early right now.

Who do they want to build the airport for? The goats running rampant across its vast rural areas?

There is no section on economics in the Ekiti article on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ekiti_State. The state is not even economically viable.
This is what is listed under "industries" at http://www.ekiti.com/AboutEkiti/industries.htm:

Public companies:
O'dua Textile Mills, Ado-Ekiti
Ire Burnt Bricks Works, Ire-Ekiti
Road Materials and Construction Company(ROMACCO),Igbemo-Ekiti
Ekiti Kete Mass Transit Company Ltd; Okeyinmo, Ado-Ekiti

Private Companies:
Adegbemile Food Industries, Oye-Ekiti
Omolayo Standard Press Limited, Ado-Ekiti
Little by Little Photo Industries Limited, Ado-Ekiti
Celtic Company LImited, Ilawe-Ekiti
Petadel Soap Industry, Igbara-Odo-Ekiti
Onward Vegetable Oil Industry, Ikere-Ekiti
Alade Colour Photo Laboratory, Ajilosun Street, Ado Ekiti
Eagle Photos, Fajuyi Square, Ado-Ekiti

Damn!

Nigeria we hail thee!

. . .But how can the head of CBN just decide one early morning to crank out mega billions without consulting a soul? Nigeria is absolutely rudderless under Yar Adua.

These are the issues Sanusi has said will dominate a discussion on the restructuring of the FG so that it is more equitable:

i. The Sharia and religious intolerance in the North;
ii. The Yoruba elite and area-boy politics;
iii. Igbo marginalisation and the responsible limits of retribution; and
iv. The Niger-Delta and the need for justice.

There is a gaping hole above, a chasm of gargantuan proportions! Why is the Northern elite not listed (but somehow, the Yoruba are)?

Even a child knows the Northern elite are Nigeria's biggest problem. That ommission firmly places Sanusi (a member of the Northern elite) as a tribalist.

^Good points, but we keep hearing about Sanusi's articles. Why not post links or quotations.

Abi de articles no dey exist?

Somethings gonna blow, big time! I first questioned the actions of "General" Sanusi when he had to reach back several years to a military decree from IBB's time to shut down the top 5 banks.

this is how most naija politicians think , especially if you are from the north. Their allocations, bribes, perks , allowances, and take homes are taking a hit, and MEND has been instrumental in helping that decline. So its better to do away with 20 million people whose source of wealth sustains the rest of the country- with politicians taking 80% of the income than to let 100 million die of hunger. We are Nigeria because oil is flowing from Niger Delta. We will all die if MEND stops oil money from reaching northerners- nay Nigeria

Even the Jewish holocaust that saw the loss of 3 million souls was nothing like what this beast is suggesting, but thats our govt for you.
Our leaders can conceive of wiping out the whole of the ND just to get the oil. Is "one Nigeria" not just a convenience of benefit to thieves only?

GEW:
if God was not merciful on nigeria you would all be in hell in that Godless place you call nigeria.  you know the wickedness in the mind of the average of nigerian.  so dont even go there.

as a people we love to practice wickedness, injustice and the worst forms of idolatory and occultism and are looking forward to a better paradise on planet earth.

do you know any God using people like nigerians?

thankfully in the midst of that gross darkness there is still the light of the gospel shinning.  you ought to be gratefull my brother. there are mysteries in the world. which is better to leave the tree and people continue to live in bondage and oppression or destroy the tree and people are set free? i prefer the tree be gone. like i said our people like darkness too much so any tree that does not bear forth good fruit shall be uprooted.

Godless place! With churches on every corner? You obviously hve never left Nigeria, otherwise you would have known that "Godlyness" does not feature in the developed World. Nigeria is not backward because we are "wicked", no; we are backward because our leaders (including your pastors) keep the people down with only crumbs to squabble for. They have replaced the colonial master and slave driver.

MEND is still in the creeks. They have taken a very principled stand that maintains the welfare of the ND and solidly refuses cheap amnesty (bribery).

In Iraq, thousands of people lost their lives because of an insurrection against the government during the reign of former Iraqi leader, Saddam Hussein. We can do away with 20 million Niger deltans for the rest 120 million Nigerians to live.

Indeed, the above words came out of the Nigerian senate during the okaying of the JTF, they are accreditted to Mohammed Ibn N'Allah (PDP, Kebbi). We know that some of our fellow Nigerians are worse than Hitler.
What is the FG going to do for the ND? The FG holds 60% of all oil concerns. The oil companies hold 40%. The FG only ever disburses ND money on paper, they would rather spend $3 billion arming JTF to wipe out the Niger Delta. There are extremly disturbing questions to be answered, but here we are going on about a traitor like Boyloaf. MEND is still in the creeks; needless to say, it falls on every single Niger Deltan to resist a govt that prefers to wipe out 20 million of its people than cater to their problems.

Shame on the Nigerian govt. What a disgrace!

PS. N'Allah later called the terrible words a "parliamentary joke".

Hasn't this been happening for a long time in Ore as well?

Can they not just simply deport the area boys?

^You are right my brother (our daddy of Ojuelegba). We are still feeding you sha.

Now I command you to start posting more pictures immediately, or you will kneel down and face the wall            

What is the full story behind this tree sef? Whose land is it on?
If it wasn't on the preachers land and the red cloth he burnt didn't belong to him, has he committed a crime?
If the tree is on govt land, have the worshippers been breaking the law?
Questions. . .

Neptunz:
Seun~wetin dey happen to your server since afternoon?.

Time to graduate the forum from PHP/MySql to something more scalable.

When did any kind of struggle become godly business? It is not about being godly, but more like; is there justice in our society? It is embarassing but not surprising that a leader has come up with such language in todays corrupt Nigeria.

gadogado:
ummm first of all, its is unconstitutional to do what fashola did, coz you cannot take people and "deport abi na expel" them from a state when the constitution guarantees the freedom of movement, association etc. if you pick me up from lagos and tell me you're taking me back to the north for whatever reason, this would constitute an unconstitutional act provided it was against my will which is the case with "fashola v. northern beggars" look, the simple fact is that fashola is inflaming tribal tensions in the country by this action, i understand and support that he's trying to clean up lagos but surely there are other ways to go around that than busing people out of your state. what statement is that making? so next time, a northern governor will target yoruba road side traders in the north and bus them to lagos, what does that say about national unity and how does it impact our unity as a nation, remember the ever true saying "divided we fall"
all those clamouring for nigeria to break up are defeatists and losers. in a world where people are forming larger economic  and social communities, it is self defeating to break up and potentially weaken yourself. the key is to rise up and move beyond petty tribal sentiments that do nothing positive or productive and fashola sorry to say is demonstrating this. whats to say the beggars wont return?or is he going to turn lagos into a night club with bouncers at the lagos border turning around hausa beggars??since we're one country then he should find ways to better assimilate these beggars into society if they constitute a nuisance as some say since some of them have been in lagos for more than a decade.

They were deported , period. It is wrong and dangerous, period!

"in a world where people are forming larger economic and social communities". . . Calm down my friend! The whole North has gone sharia (and are ready to deport those who don't agree with it), So it is you guy's telling the south that they don't belong with you (thats aside from the regular beatings and killings); I really feel for non-Muslims up North. The whole of Nigeria needs to sort itself out; each constituent part is acting with impunity, its time for a national discussion.

^See accuser, judge, jury and executioner. 9ja!

Absolutely nothing can be done for the current police force. It should be disbanded and each state should build and equip their own force with guidance from the FG. The FG will also act as arbiter where there is serious disagreement that cannot be handled impartially at state level.

^Jesu Oyingbo

^You are right, they are paramilitary units. I considered only the armed forces in my earlier reply.

My bad.

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=313573.msg4453428#msg4453428 date=1251674790]They should be ignored. Nigeria is not yet mature to deal with the indices of human rights.[/quote]

Jesu!

THE AMAKA:
you sound like another self hating african.
someone who talks down on big noses.
isnt that not the same things the slave masters or the white people used to say or still say about us?
so what, its natural!
a small nose is suppose to be better, why?
so the kids can come out normal?
are you f-ing kidding me?
sounds like self hate to me.

How did you come to such a far out and weird conclusion? Do you know if I too have a big nose?
What is the matter with you, are really so damp and humorless?

^They are civilians.
The only difference is they carry guns and fight for corruption.
