interesting list you have there Emeobong!

more noise!!!

His Leave request should be denied quickly! The slowpoke ain't going nowhere!

Did it occur to you that the rival party actually dug through Obama's history during the election campaign? I guess they missed this your "brilliant discovery"!,
,,,maybe we can make better progress today if we talked about something less absurd!

Iyineda:
How I see the difference between science and religion:

* Science is based on facts and theories that try to push our understanding of the world we live in even further;

* Religion is based on ancient tales (few verified, most mythology-bound) that hold men captive in what I like to call a state of 'mass illusion'.





PS: Religion has NOTHING to do with spirituality. If you don't grasp that already, then there's no point having a pseudo-debate. Religion is institutionalized. Spirituality comes from within.

Kindly educate them brother! I have succintly crept through this whole thread and wondered why people still do not get the difference. Let us be enlightened!

crazy administrators we have!

I find it disheartening (as most of you have) to be sordidly reminded that the ones fighting for a better Nigeria are Octogenerians and older folks, it is a clear indicant of the blase and listless attitude the youths (yours sincerely included) exude towards issues of national issues.
On the one hand is a Soyinka fighting, on the other hand are the Aondooakaa's (or whatever annoying name his mother cast oh him) the Rilwan Lukmans, the Yayale's, the Madueke's who are also well past their prime ages. Basically, the youths are still not being given the opportunity to love Nigeria (either as villians or heros).
There is a programmed attempt to stiffle the rising of the youths! While many would argue that it is the youths that ought to break free from this suppression, it is also necessary to note that the force being exerted in the silencing campaign is unprecedented!

Marymos:
Am waiting for the magic the so call foreign technical adviser will perform at the world cup.Four months to the world we are still deceiving ourselves.We didn't even learn any lesson from Beti Vogt.The only mistake Amodu made was to take the wrong set of players to the nations cup.

The only mistake Lucifer made was to challenge God! Lets forgive him also, ,,,,,,what do you think?

Well, that carcas of the chopper i saw was DEFINITELY NOT shot down by a missile! So dude, your conspiracy theory blows up in your face!

I bet none is higher than the freezing point of water!

Yusuf has been playing very well,with few mistakes & he's on of the few players putting in everything .

Below par players so far -
Taiwo(no sense of direction,lacks pace & doesn't work with other defenders)

Etuhu(midfielder but can't hold on to the ball,can't mark properly. .  .certainly not Super Eagles material,unfortunately I was one of those touting for him)
Nwaneri(out of his league,I prefer him at right back,he exudes passion sha,but at this level its more than zeal !)

Yakubu(lazy,missed clear sitters,with his frame can't hold on to the ball &

Mikel (very little forward movement for all his skill & Chelsea hype !)

Dude! Do you watch the game from the back of your teleset Who do you think makes all those decisive tackles?
Watch again man!

Hi Mods,
Please can someone assist me here with a little predicament.
I have applied to a school in one of the Eastern European states for a Master's programme and i have been instructed to verify my result with the Ministry of foreign Affairs. I went ot their liaison office in Ikoyi and was told that i had to verify first from the ministry of Education before coming to them and that i'll have to do it at their Abuja office.
Knowing all these government parastatals for what they are, i am sure they'll have a lot of unnecessary protocols. please Anyone that has done this before and shares his/her experience would be doing me a big favor.
Don't want to wste money+time at Abuja and achieve nothing.

Thanks

Well,it never stops to amaze me the way Nigerians think.I think our problem could be traced to poverty and  poor education.Nigerians attach sentiments to most political and financial issues.Don't get offended guys.But i shall explain.Some people here are comparing Bank CEOs to politicians in terms of 'sitting tight'.What a shame.
Well,banks are private companies guys.It is a privately owned company hence CEOs should be determined by shareholders' votes.As a matter of fact,i expect the banks to challenge this in court.This is dictatorial in nature.CBN should not dictate to the shareholders how long they intend to keep a CEO.As a private company,Zenith bank is similar to Dangote Group PLC.Most of those guys who are CEOs are the majority shareholders in the banks.Removing them with this new CBN regulation is similar to asking Dangote to quit as Chairman of Dangote Group.Because both of them are private companies and not government run companies.Reason this critically before you comment.This new CBN law is a shame.It means that  Jim Ovia cannot be appointed  as CEO of another bank(by shareholders' vote) just because he has served 10 years at Zenith.Ovia has lots of experience in the banking industry.In developed countries people like him are well sought after.A bank that needs his experience should be free to appoint anybody as their CEO.You must not have been a staff of a bank to be appointed as CEO guys.The current CEO of Citi Group was never a staff of Citi Group.This is a draconian law from CBN.There is nothing ethically wrong with a family  run bank.We need sound bank policies and regulation Sanusi.This will have no positive effect   on the banking industry.

you have spoken well brother, however i must disagree with you on certain issues regarding industry regulations. Firstly, the analogy you used sorts of falls out place, Dangote group of companies is not in the same industry as the banks who trade primarily with public funds, however If the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) deem Dangote to have contravened their set rules and by so doing his continued stay as CEO would not be in the best interest of the public he can be asked to leave.
The banks are of course more indebted to the public than Dangote's enterprises so ts wont the focus be on them!

some help here please!!!!!!!!!!!

This is crazy!!!!!!!!
Daffman, pleae find yourself some conducive shelter, away from the flying bullets or maddening crowd

These apparitions are definitely not part of the grandoise lagos scenery, I believe there must be a mistake somewhere. The Lagos you all have chosen to exist in, is that of fash-the-man, where the landscape is greened with opulence, and the roads abhor spotted holes. A lagos where men are fully reined in suits and women in diamonds.
This can't be Lagos,,,,,,, or is it?

Like we don't already have enough problems in this country! These men and women of untowards ways should be expelled with expediency.

It is a lot more disturbing that other pastors have not joined in the struggle for freedom!

This is silly!

funny!

Not good to laugh at other people's misery! So i'll just waltz past. Sorry guys.

She's just an embarrassment to uprightness! She should go ask Okonjo how she retained her dignity

This is heart rendering! So they had to hire people to support the president?
