For those who don't know; NL has its own army, our training is easy; just report to the pepper soup joint https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-288053.0.html

Balancing your head gingerly on a stone. . . No wonder these guys are brutal!
But I guess military training isn't a walk in the park anywhere. These guys are trained to kill.

On a lighter note. With all the collapsed structures in 9ja and lack of emergency services, the army is always called in. . . If bulldozer no de, dis guys fit use skull do de job sha!

There seems to be a very poor understanding of the meaning of private sector in Nigeria. . . Either that or something is seriously amiss.

^Why is it that you govt pitbulls think that being rude and barbaric makes you seem clever? You just look foolish when people are logical and all you can do be childish and immature.

asha 80:
Maybe the predicted 2015 CIA report of nigeria is even too far.

The SSS one of 2011 might be more accurate.

FG amnesty is just another word for bribe. The criminals in the creeks were always going to accept, while those genuinely fighting for a better ND were always going to resist.

I pity BoyLoaf and his 250 million. Now that the dust has settled down, it is becoming clear that the first few days was all about propaganda. What will happen to the 32 "commanders" who met Yar Adua, but have been unable to submit even a single dane gun? Are some of them going to be quietly Yusufed?

Tsiya:
It kind of funny you know. I do know that ppl can be identified with accent but I never thought by just looking at a person face you can identify, especially if they are young as you said, unless you look like Igbo.

I just looked at his profile and true to God de man look like Igbo

Does that mean they look out for Igbo's especially?

Boy, don't let big words spin your head.
Oceanic bank passed CBN audit a few days before this news.
So, how come?

If that is true and you add the fact that Sanusi had to reach for a military decree to pull this thing off; we are in for another ugly show.

riyenews:
According to our impeccable source, the governor. . .

Our source said that before the meeting. . .

Our source said that the former governor was quite surprised by the ferocity of the threat. .

. . .added our source.

But our source. . .

Is this gossip? Or is the story innacurate. Why aren't any names mentioned, yet enough hints are dropped so we know. . . whisper whisper its Fashola and Tinubu.

Sad. If there were jobs and a culture of education, people wouldn't stoop to this sort of crime.

^Governments pitbulls don arrive.

[quote author=A-town link=topic=310182.msg4361816#msg4361816 date=1250444860]Ignorance is really not an excuse. If you don't know much about something, do some research and find out about it.
All of you clamouring about the moon sef. I bet you don't even know the principle behind rocket propulsion and una go come here dey misfire about conspiracy.[/quote]Ok, lets assume we don't know anything about rocket propulsion.

. . .But, what does that have to do with human beings landing on the moon? If it was just about hooking up rockets, Russia, China, India, Iran, Japan and quite a few others who "know the principle behind rocket propulsion" would have men on the moon. Abi?

proudly9ja:
Im seriously afraid of where we are heading in Nigeria.
Yaradua has come and all he ha done so far is to reverse all OBJ policies. Withbenefit of hindsight, we now know that his decisions ie Yarauda, are all politically motivated.

From the EFCC saga, to the Railway, plus the Virgin Nigeria issue, and now Banking sector, it cannot be totally washed away that Yaradua has a hidden agenda and that agenda has nothing to do with moving Nigeria forward.

While I am not canvassing for any of the bank chiefs removed, I find it difficult to accept that a few months after rumours came out that a syndicate was out to bring down heads of top 5 banks in Nigeria with stories flying around especially against Intercontinental Bank Plc and her head, Erastus Akingbola. I remember this rumour even carried a lot of threads on NL with staffers and non staffers of the bank coming out to defend their boss. Vanguard Newspapers came out some weeks later affirming that the rumour was being spread by officials of first bank. A few weeks after that, an ex official of first bank was made CBN governor and a few months after he became head, he removed the heads of 5 Banks (see above) including the CEO o IBPlc. To be honest, I think its too much of a coincidence.

I also do not think this is the end of this story. We will hear more next week. I just feel bad for the Nigerian citizens. If we continue to play politics with people's money, it is quite sad. A lot of NIgerians are yet to recover from the Societe and Savanah Banks collapse while the heads of these banks are running around in Nigeria and around the world. Akingbola, Ibru, Adigwe and the rest of them are already made. If anything happens to the banks, its the masses that will suffer it.

My concern is for the almost tyrannical style in which Sanusi has acted. If Yar Adua's regime was an action packed one, then just maybe his behaviour would fit in. There are far more cautious ways of achieving goals than acting recklessly. The Naira lost 2% on the first day of his action, let us pray we don't witness massive levels of distrust from investors (local and foreign); lets hope the Naira doesn't lose further value. Right now Sanusi is like a bull in a China shop; CBN needs a calm and steady head.

@Jakumo or JagudA


Make una Igbo people leave this pastor alone, you never solve all your problems in East, you dey poke nose for ours. If [size=14pt]Chris Okotie[/size] did that, you would all be so happy right? Leave our pastor alone! THANK YOU THANK YOU

How can a grown up be this ignorant? No wonder Adeboye is "reaping" you guys hollow.

@nex

MEND is not a military organisation. They hire the thugs that politicians have aquired to press their strategy.
As for education in the North, I wonder if it is purely due to poor leadership or if some elements of culture also play a part (they are all under the caliphate).

nuzo:
Two reason why some people might be happy with the firing:

1. To vindicate their earlier and continuing stances that Soludo was/is/will always be a failure no matter how well he might seem to have fared.

2. To see those big time CEOs go down not minding the timing and the after effects.

It was a good move with bad timing and poor style. However, Im happy with the guts Sanusi displayed while not hoping he did it for a personal agenda.

Is that combination possible?
The interventionist style displayed by Sanusi might not bode well for both the CBN and the private sector. If he was at an individual bank, such actions might be acceptable. The Naira fell 2% due to investor fears on Friday alone.

Soludo played a major role in building foreign confidence in Nigerian banks. Lets hope Sanusi does not kill it.

It is really annoying when people type in either short hand or capitals. I think it is disrespectful.

Women sef!

I love reggae, so I'm always watching their shows; but when my kids are around and this girl is singing this crazy song, I switch channels. I can watch it on my own though.

She must have had a very hard childhood. I can't imagine that anybody who didn't have such an evil experience would have been able to carry such a song through; writing, arranging the melody, the videos, people involved etc.

For those who are asking, she's a Jamaican and the video was shot in Jamaica as well. Those police at the end are just like 9ja mopo (only slightly better behaved and seriously better equiped for such a small country).

Ahh! You must be talking about Architect Bishop Wole Umoru Dan Katsina. He was the minister of email during IBB's regime, the problem arose when George Bush came to Nigeria with money to double for his people. Architect Bishop Wole Umoru Dan Katsina swung into action at his main offices at Oluwole in Lagos Island, the money was successly multiplied but when he pressed the button to transer the American share, NEPA took light! Then Katsina suddenly felt cold, he decided to ask his spiritual guru, pastor Helen Ukpabio for advice. She warned him that the Americans will believe his children were brimming with witchcraft; so they made some fake ones to give to George Bush. But when Obama came, he went to the bank and on checking the figures for the US economy; he suddenly discovered the fraud. In order to cover up for another US president, he he organised a load of stuff with the banks and GM for a cut of $6.3 billion.

strangleyo:
I also think it was a government conspiracy.

It was Obasanjo who conspired with Murtala Mohammed to cover up the expedition in which they found artifacts of Igbo effigies on the moon's secret temples. The Igbos assassinated Mohammed. However Obasanjo was saved due to a secret back deal that let him become king of Nigeria, and continue his legacy by appointing Yar'Dull as his only beloved son to the Nigerian throne.

The Igbo artifacts were destroyed and the Nigerian government ALLOWED the Americans to place their flag on the site.

You are wrong! After the American flag was stolen from the site by Russian hackers, Obama came to beg Atta Mills to talk to Yar Adua about sending JTF to help. This led Medvedev to rush down in fear to Nigeria where the flag was returned at Ogbomosho. The whole thing was covered up in the Boko Haram riots and when Hilary came, the flag was restored to the space station.

@Tsiya

I've heard it mentioned several times that Northerners feel marginalised by the South. I've always brushed it aside because it seems ridiculous since the North has dominated Nigerian politics overwhelmingly for decades. . . But I keep hearing it, in what ways would you say the North is marginalised by the South?

NINETOFIVE:
They also had to flush a lot of billions of Euro in the toilet to recreate the big bang theory, which turned out a big joke.

The Large Hadron Collider aspired to deliver the "God Particle" (Higgs Boson). Damn! I love these names!

Some people were afraid it recreate the so called big bang and end the World!
I think it is a joke too. No be so dem start machine, de tin come die! Now na fixing, fixing. They should donate the parts to FIIRO jo!

The problem you have is that you have taken no steps to develop your mind, and you show no shame in exposing your ignorance in public.

Does this guy sleep well at night? Don't you think being needlessly rude is childish?

@topic
Another reason travel to the moon is difficult (if not impossible in modern times), is radiation (this is aside from availability of PC's to detect dodgy pictures).
Even NASA says that overcoming radiation will be a major problem for the plans George Bush put in place for the "return" to the moon; you can get that info by doing the following:

1. Navigate to http://video.csupomona.edu/streaming/NASA/nasa_index.html
2. Scroll down the page until you find the title "PROGRAM TWENTY-FIVE". the link, save and watch the interesting video.

Naira fell 2% in one day. I hope next week won't be worse.

The move was unprecedented in Nigeria, sending the naira down 2% to 156.9 versus the dollar.

Thor:
Beef, I have decided to ignore you moving forward. How you can blame the problems of Nigeria on a few trinkets and wooden carvings is ludicrous to say the least. I did not start this stupidity, but I was happy to play along with you to keep you happy. You were for a few hours at least my little pet cyber chimp!

Now I have bored of you and will move on and ignore you

Nigeria needs people like you to keep it at the level it finds itself today! Only with people like you can the country maintain it's dynamic development into chaos and catastrophe.

I commend you, you and people like Nez, Flem and Stickeyman, as you people are what makes Nigeria great, you are the key to the future!

A future of homemade weaponry, Mickey Mouse APV's and Yellow tin plate helicopters!

For you all truly deserve what you have built for yourselves and future generations!

Congratulations!

PS. If you want to think I am white, then go ahead, that is not an issue at all. It makes me smile

I know who at what I am and that is all that counts

PEACE!

Of course you know who you are. I'm sure Combat 18 will be proud to have you.

Oh yeah, theres nothing racist about all of the pictures you've posted.

Progeny of thieves.

Racist white boy.

. . .And the thieves stole this

The day of reckoning is coming.
