nobody is painting anyone as messiah

as a matter of fact there is no messiah in Nigeria as the country is still begging for redemption.

Thank you for talking about recapitalization . . . . .I urge u to research its benefits.

but please mention what you could associate the past CBN Governors with?

People often talk a lot about things they know little of.

I am well aware of the 'benefits' of increased capitalization, which essentially is that it makes more capital available to the bank for business. It does NOT make a bank any more (un)profitable than it is (except in case where it opens up new markets for the bank).

For your information, Soludo is not the first CBN governor to increase the minimum capitalization requirements. It is an ever recurring process: N50 million in 1992, N500 million in 1997, N1 billion in 2000, N2 billion in Dec. 2004) . So I can associate most past CBN governors with capitalization of the banking sector.

Soludo made it N25 billion in Dec 2005. The uproar from bank executives was because he made an autocratic move in July 2004, requiring a huge increase (from N2B to N25B) within 18 months with total disregard fro the existing time line set by the previous CBN governor. For more details, I would suggest you read the address delivered by Soludo at the July 2004 meeting. The move, and his attempt to withdraw public funds from the capital market, almost collapsed the sector.

All that aside, the question I would pose on capitalization is simple: Does a big bank make a big economy, or a big economy makes a big bank? I would say the latter, but if you feel it is the former, please expatiate.

There are more serious problems of poor corporate governance, parallel currency markets, and round tripping, that soludo, like his predecessors, has failed to address, and thus he should move over and let someone else give a try.

mikeansy:
How about you naming one previous CBN Governor who did better and tell us why.

Anytime people wake up from slumber they come here demanding others to remind them what Soludo achieved . . . . . people have answered these questions on countless of threads . . . . . if u dont know about Soludo's achievement or have not read about them somewhere else you probably dont wanna know.

None of the past CBN governors were painted by some as the messiah of the financial sector that they were not.
I have never heard anyone mention a problem that Soludo solved. All people point to is the capitalization of banks, which was essentially an unwarranted workout on a banking treadmill,
Soludo has done nothing to warrant him a second term in office.

To all the Soludo supporters, which problem did capitalization of the banks solve or better still, itemize the problems soludo solved during his tenure?

anoda thread was created discussing this issue as well

This thread was created first. You should point your thread to this one and not the other way around.

Riddle: What goes down, and never comes up?
Ans: GPA

My philosophy is to speak softly but carry a big stick

There should be no exceptions to the law.

There is no excuse for beating up someone (male or female) just because he/she is weaker than you. Thats simply being a bully.
The sad thing is that bullies would easily hold their peace when they are the weaker entity.

Okada should be banned in all major cities
Nigerians make an habit of legalizing an illegality instead of solving the original problem.

sticky please?

Biina. You don't have to be fond of anything. I came here
1. To vent my anger as I'm not able to do that to her or any of my friends and family
2. To get advice from people who have been in similar situations which would bring me to  
3. To come to a sensible conclusion as to what to do.

I have done all 3 and therefore I'm very happy.
Baby girl, if you have any advice, maybe if you have been in my shoes (or in hers) let me know what you would do. I'm not really interested in what you are fond of. Thanks sis.  

You don't seem to take too well to criticism. A few pointers to your not so saintly choice of words and you get up in arms defensively . You shouldn't, under the excuse of anger, try to paint others in a bad light behind their backs, just to make yourself feel good.

As per advice, I would say do unto others as you would have others do unto you
Irrespective of your opinion, she would forever be his sister, and there is nothing you can do to change that.

BTW on marriage, don't count your chickens before they hatch.

@poster
A marriage proposal is like saying I love you, it is risky to read more to it than there is to it.
The man proposing directly to the bride is an adopted operandi, as traditionally in Nigeria, his intent is made known to the father of the bride.
If it means so much to you, I advise you get the message across via a third party (friend or relative), but personally I don't see the importance.
How does a formal marriage proposal affect the price of fish?

eyeshadow:
Hmmm, maybe I should ask her to join the thread. You would like that isn't it. Want to see some cat fight eh? Nice.

Nah, not interested in a cat fight, and I am not fond of the parts in bold below.

eyeshadow:
iice, only met her before we got engage but she somewhat reclusive and can stay in her room for 24 hours; only coming out to eat and use the bathroom. The relationship between them, he likes to feel close to her but she always seems so bitter about everything and doesn't like to associate with anyone. 

eyeshadow:
olanajim, when I met her I noticed she was not very friendly. Then she complained to him that she didn't like me calling her by name. I then started putting "sister" before her name(she's older than me by a year and he's older than her by 5). Then it became little complaints like me not going to church when I'm over, her not liking the colour of my eyeshadow and the one that broke the camel's back - she thinks I'm not happy that her brother likes her. I honestly thought she had more sense than she displayed the day she said that.

eyeshadow:
That's exactly what I want to do to her Spikedcylinder but I feel bad for my partner who always feels sorry for her. He thinks she's sad and always wants to make her happy. He hopes this will make her change. I have told him though that the very next time she tries me she will be very shocked at my reaction. She is really very silly and I don't care if she finds a man or not. She should just leave before the year ends cos there is no way I'm staying in his house if as much as a pair of shoes belonging to her are still there by the time we wed. He knows how I feel sha. I think she's just an old, sad witch, he says she reminds him of his late mum. TOUGH!

eyeshadow:
amebo no 1, I don't think but KNOW the problem is from me. My problem however is that I am prettier and more outgoing than she is. Unfortunately for her, I can't change and for that reason, the next time I visit, I'll make sure I wear every colour of eyeshadow I own, just to frustrate her. 

eyeshadow:
Thanks for the advice. Initially when I met her I tried to be friendly even as we are very different people but now I know we can never be friends however I don't want us to be enemies for the sake of her brother who loves her a lot. I'm not desperate for marriage and he knows and I don't try to take the attention from her (even though quite honestly it can be very easy by mere standing beside her). I have ignored every single thing she's done to me except the last one and I don't even discuss it with my family or friends cos I don't want it to escalate.

At the end of the day we'll be married and she will have to live with it.

eyeshadow:
I appreciate your advise especially as you sound quite experienced. Could you please then tell me what you would do in my situation? I have never had this sort of problem in the past and although I think I have done very well by ignoring her I won't want to be described as a fool cos I'm not one.

I feel things are not as black and white as you try to paint it (she is the demon and you are the saint)
