This is hilarious to say the least

Theoretically, entropy bars you from creating your losses system

Kobojunkie:

We only got a bit of the session to work. Whatever the reason for the interjection, I do not believe Malema had to go as far as he did. He could have simply asked what that information had to do with what he said. Not descend to the level that he did. People get interjected every day. This man went too far.

Again this is not a BLACK ON WHITE issue. This is a racist with anger issues loosing his temper when he ought not to.

Its obvious Malema has issues and simply seized the opportunity to make some racist remarks. I just dont think the reporter was innocent.
Won't be surprised if there was an history between Malema and that reporter/bbc/white journalists.
Whichever it is quite entertaining

The other video though is quite offensive

Kobojunkie:

What? Journalists can't make say anything anymore?

This incident has nothing to do with BLACKS AND WHITES. This is about Malema's reaction to a journalist who happens to be white. I have liived in Sandton and so see nothing in him stating that Malema lived in Sandton. The reaction from Malema was uncalled for, and rude.

What has Malema living in Sandton got to do with him asking MDC to stop campaigning from Sandton and go back to Zimbabwe?
The interjection was irrelevant and simply mischievous.

Malema's response was a bit overboard but I think the reporter was also being mischievous with his interjection.

More detailed report

Malema’s outburst against a BBC journalist

In an astonishing attack, the ANC Youth League’s president today called a BBC journalist a “bastard” and an ”agent”.
Julius Malema was addressing the media on the ANCYL’s recent visit to Zimbabwe. He criticised Zimbabwean opposition party the Movement for Democratic Change, saying they should go back to Zimbabwe instead of working from offices in Sandton, Johannesburg.
British Broadcasting Corporation journalist Jonah Fisher interjected, saying Malema lived in Sandton — unleashing a barrage of insults.
“This is a building of a revolutionary party and you know nothing about revolution so here you behave or else you jump,” he said, speaking from Luthuli House in the Johannesburg CBD.
Fisher attempted to respond, but Malema did not relent.
“Chief, can you get security to remove this thing here?” he requested of staff present on Luthuli House’s 11th floor, the venue for most party media briefings.
“If you are not going to behave we are going to call security to take you out. This is not a newsroom this, this is a revolutionary house and you don’t come here with your white tendency. Don’t come here with that white tendency, not here, you can do it somewhere else.
“If you’ve got a tendency of undermining blacks even where you work you are in the wrong place.”
To which Fisher replied: “That’s rubbish.”
Malema then asked him to leave saying: “,  Rubbish is what you have covered in that trouser, that is rubbish.”
“You are a small boy, you can’t do anything. Bastard, go out, you bloody agent.”
The BBC declined to comment when contacted after the briefing.
The attack was preceded by a general one on the media by Malema.

No me neither, i dont think First bank is in trouble, besides oil prices have rebounded and will continue to do so till perhaps 2012,
The issue is the hypocrisy of Sanusi,in asking for immediate and full provisioning for other banks(in effect making them insolvent),while giving first bank a yr to do it

Now he has apparently seen the foolishness of his action,and the CBN is now proposing new Provisioning regimes for banks ranging from 1 - 3yrs(see my link in 2nd post above)

Would that require that the loan be non-performing for a year?

paddy_lo:

CBN Proposes New Loan Provisioning Regimes


In a bid to adjust to the current economic realities necessitating lending to the critical sectors of the economy, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has proposed for banks new loan provisioning regimes and a framework for collateral adjustments for lost facilities. The board of the CBN is expected to approve this proposal – which will lead to a longer period of loan provisioning – when it meets in the middle of this month in Abuja,  . . . . . .
http://www.proshareng.com/news/singlenews.php?id=10096

Basically Sanusi has finally seen the light?, He now believes in Forbearance and giving the Banks a longer period to provision for bad loans,
How come he didnt realize(what every central banker should know),that if u squeeze the banks too hard, u shut down the economy of any nation,
U cant go about asking banks to do huge provisioning,which reduces available capital, and expect banks to then turn around and increase lending

seen the light? You seem to be confusing issues.
There was a provisioning scheme in place that the banks were not adhering to. The CBN made them comply and resulted in some banks being insolvent. Should Sanusi have enacted a review and back dated it?

honeric01:

yes o, i believe even if this match end up not favoring us, we still have other matches left and i foresee Madrid dropping points.

Have you looked at the schedule? Barca still have away games at Espanyol, Villarreal and Sevilla, while Madrid are hosting Valencia and Bilbao. Still active in the CL, Barca are more likely to drop points than Madrid. Who ever wins this game wins the league IMO. A draw gives Barca the edge on paper, but Madrid has the true edge cause of the schedule.

Azuka.O:

@ Biina, I guess you are from the North.  For the first time in Nigerian history, I ve seen a Northerner that agreed that there was a 'pogrom' in the North against Igbo people in 1966/67. Unfortunately, rather than condemn the killing of about 50,000 civilians in cold blood as mindless and wicked, you are trying to justify it. I hope such fate does not befall you and your family in future so you will understand the pain and horror of it.

I was not trying to justify the pogrom, but rather trying to describe the events that got us to the civil war. I do not believe the pogrom, nor the 1966 coup was the genesis. While I condemn the pogrom (as a tribe shouldn't be held responsible for the actions of individuals), I also do understand where the North seem to be coming from.

Ojukwu refused to accept a junior as head of state because the Gowon and co said that their coup was not a coup. So Ojukwu told them if the military hierarchy had decided to remove the head of state, the most senior officer in the army (Brig Ogundipe) should take over. Simple. Ojukwu still accuses Gowon as being the initiator of indiscipline in the Nigerian Army.

That is nonsense coming from ojukwu. Indiscipline in the army was engendered by the 1966 coup, when Ifeajuna & co killed their superior officers. Asking mutineers/coup plotters to honor seniority is just being silly. Murtala & co can claim not to be coup plotters on the grounds that they didnt want to take control of the government, but they cannot deny being mutineers, and that means they have no respect for seniority.

You people still accuse Ojukwu of declaring Biafra for personal reasons but u said During the first round of pogrom, the Igbos ran back to the east, but Ojukwu sent them back to the north guaranteeing their safety. What does that tell u? Can someone who did not believe in Nigeria send his people back to Nigeria to be murdered again if he had initially wanted to opt out of Nigeria? After the first pogrom, Gowon assured Ojukwu that it would not happen again; so Ojukwu told Igbos to go back to the North. And they were massacred again.

Ojukwu himself was a divisive force in the government by failing to recognize Gowon. How did he think a divided government would be able to maintain order. He should have let those Igbos stay in the east until the government was united and coherent. Its amusing that Ojukwu would not recognize Gowon as a leader, wanting autonomy in the east, but would take Gowon's word as being sufficient to guarantee the safety of his people in the north. What evidence did he have that Hassan Katsina, Governor of the North was on the same page?

Why is it so difficult for you people to acknowledge that the cause of the Civil War was the senseless massacre of innocent Igbos in the North? In Rwanda, those who massacred their neighbours during the Rwandan genocide have confessed and the nation has moved on. Why is it so difficult for Northerners and other Nigerians to accept that they showed unmerited wickedness to the Igbos by the pogroms of 1966/67?

That is jumping into the middle. The pogrom didnt happen out of thin air, and the actual war didnt start till after the declaration of Biafra

Igbo officers executed a coup in Jan 1966 and killed mainly non-Igbos. That was bad - very bad. Northern officers had a countercoup in July 1966 and killed Ironsi (head of state) and other Igbo officers, and took over power. Was that not justice enough? What was the business of civilian women and children with the coup that they had to be killed in cold blood several months after the coup? Have you ever heard any Igbo man complain about the killing of Ironsi in a revenge coup?

Akintola, Balewa and Sardauna (and the people in his house) were all military personnel? It is typical that retaliations are worse than the initial attack. The north tried to make sure that there would no reprisals from the igbos. The civil war resulted from bad judgements from several individuals in key positions, but the masses paid the price.

If Igbos were killed in their thousands in a country they had championed independence for; and they were assured to return and were still killed in their thousands, was that not a clear sign that they were not wanted in that country? And if Ojukwu and Gowon signed an accord at Aburi but Gowon came back to rescind on his promise, was that not a clear signal that he could not be trusted going forward? Lets tell ourselves the truth please.

The killings happened in a particular part of the country and only reflected, at the least, laxity on the part of the government, and possibly complicity. It is difficult for a divided government to protect its citizens. The igbos were safe in the east and should have remained there. Ojukwu sending them back worsened things.

RE: SANUSI’S FIRST BANK: THE MAN’S HYPOCRISY AND DOUBLE STANDARDS

http://www.firstbanknigeria.com/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=Hs6PU3BCKLY%3D&tabid=419&mid=1529

Onlytruth:

Did it really matter what the Hausas thought? What did the Yorubas think of the whole thing? Were they not the other major tribe in Nigeria? That is the main question. If the Yorubas didn't share the same thoughts, there is nothing the Hausas could have done about the situation. You can't kill 50,000 on mere hunch or suspicion or thought. And if Yorubas were at least neutral, the Hausa could not have fought and won the war alone.

Like I said before, WHAT DID THE YORUBAS THINK? WHAT DID THEY DO?Don't make this look like Hausa only thinggy.

So it is more relevant what the yorubas thought than the Hausa's that carried out the counter coup?
The Yorubas were  embroiled in their own local political conflict (operation weti e), and while the likes of Akintola were allied to the north, Awolowo was on the other side (from prison), and Ademoyega was one of the coup plotters.

You almost fooled the gullible with your indignation about Murtala's face on our currency after committing mass murder against same so-called "fellow Nigerians". God has already paid him in kind. As for Ojukwu and his refusal to turn Nigeria upside down by allowing a less qualified officer than himself to take over, where have we been for the past 43 years? Answer: in the gutter! For the very same reason. A cart does not pull a horse. It doesn't work that way. That is why other countries that were peers with Nigeria 40 years ago have all dusted Nigeria. Malaysia and Asian tigers come to mind.

There was coup in which the highest ranking office in Ironsi had already been killed by junior officers. Asking coup plotters to recognize seniority is stupidity. If they had any regards for seniority, they wouldnt be coup plotters.

The ONLY TRUTH in your whole piece! Gowon created 12 states to undermine Biafra and the East. Food for thought. At the end, state creation brought unprecedented division in Nigeria and destroyed the nation. Today, a Yorubaman from Ogun state will struggle to get a job in Ondo state.

Typical. You try to remove the speck from the eyes of others while ignoring the sawmill operating in your own eyes.

How can it be an implicit declaration of war when the north was the first to threaten secession a year earlier, but only turned after it completely seized power? Who declared war on the north for threatening secession? If the north seceded, would there have been war? So, how could Biafran secession imply war? Your twists and turns are typical! Na wa o!

The north never declared an independent state. Ojukwu did.
Anywhere in the world, the declaration of an independent state within a sovereign nation without the consent of the incumbent government is an implicit declaration of war.

There goes the typical signature of the group of people who handed over Nigeria to mass murder and mediocrity for 43 years! Today they are yapping all over the place for "restructuring". Idiots!

That the guy ran away is a fact. You are free to approve of his action, as I am also free to disapprove of it. I have no respect for anyone that would lead millions to their deaths and not give up his own life for same cause.

Hear it loud and clear: OJUKWU WAS CARRYING OUT THE WISHES OF HIS PEOPLE - THE EASTERNERS!  If you don't like that historical fact, go hang! No amount of twists and turns can change that.

Again, you are free to immortalize Ojukwu in your mind, as I am free to classify him as another bad leader that exploited his people for his selfish interests.

I think the first main seed of distrust between the North and Igbos was sowed when Azikwe tried to impeach the Sardauna/Balewa led NPC in 1964. Coupled with subsequent allegations (by Ejoor and Gowon) of Banjo and Ojukwu planning a coup, the January 1966 coup, and the subsequent events of an Igbo senate president handing over power to an Igbo military officers, all seem to confirm the suspicions of the Hausas that the Igbos were intent on seizing power.

Ironsi's not prosecuting nor punishing the coup plotters simply wiped out any element of doubt that was left in the northerners and they decided to carry out their own justice. They simply wanted revenge and seem they didnt want the possibility of the Igbos retaliating and thus they tried to wipe out as many of the Igbos as possible. The  excuse given by the northerners was that if they didnt act quickly enough, the Igbos would finish the job that they started in January 1966.

Gowon didnt lead the coup. Murtala (always irritates me to see his face on a currency like if ws a national hero )and danjuma were more prominent actors. The coup plotters wanted to secede and the need to keep Nigeria one was mostly in the interest of outsiders. Gowon's ascension was supposed to be a concession on the part of the core northerners, who felt that Gowon being from the middle belt and a christian provided a middle ground. they were not willing to accept a pure southerner talk less of an Igbo. But there was a  problem right from the start, Ojukwu refused to recognize Gowon as being the head of state and supreme commander in chief on the grounds that Gowon was a junior officer to him.

The lack of coherence in government, and likely complicity on the part of the northern soldiers, led to continued killing of the Igbos. The Aburi accord failed to resolve the issues, as Gowon reneged on the agreement (claiming he had implemented everything in the 'spirit of the agreement' and accused Ojukwu of using the media to further his ulterior motives). Gowon created the 12 states, said to be a bid to undermine Ojukwu, and Ojukwu subsequently declared biafra. Gowon initiated a police action into biafra annd Ojukwu responded in kind, and the civil war began.

My issues with Ojukwu stem primarily from my evaluation of him being intelligent and not one to make too many mistakes
1. Ojukwu should have known the consequence of refusing to recognize Gowon and not resigning from the Army
2. During the first round of pogrom, the Igbos ran back to the east, but Ojukwu sent them back to the north guaranteeing their safety. There was no basis for the guarantee. If he hadnt sent them back, the second round of pogrom would have likely been avoided
3. After the second round of pogrom, the Igbos that had returned were more or less safe in the south east. Declaring Biafra was more in response to the creation of the 12 states than the pogrom.
4. He must have known that the declaration of an independent state within a sovereign nation was an implicit declaration of war, and that Biafra was in no position to win the war. The amount of ground they lost in the first few weeks was testament to this. Ojukwu knew where the war was headed.
5. Even when the war had gone south, he was inviting journalists and trying to use the suffering of the people to get political sympathy from the international community
6. At the end, he ran away. He wasnt man enough to die for the cause he had sent so many to an early grave for.
7. His execution of Banjo & co hints to key officers disagreeing with the way things were going.

Some feel that Ojukwu was carrying out the wishes of his people, I suspect he used the opportunity to try and achieve his personal ambition and simply played the other leaders.

Yes macherano too (forgot about him) but not Reina.

Beaf:

I would have loved Chris Ogiemwinyi as petroleum minister.
The choice of Aganga as finance minister is most welcome. Now that there's a high flier manning the show, Sanusi's rusty butt is bound to get kicked.

and if it doesnt?

BTW no one is complaining that both ministers for finance are from the southwest, but if they were from the north, una go dey shout federal character

Its a case of Rafa and lack of money dont mix. The guy bought so many failed imports, and only Torres can be considered world class. If you want to keep Rafa, he will need money to deliver.

LT move to Jets is dubious IMO. A quality WR was what I expected.

Interesting points raised by the rep

The former minister, Mukhtar, was qualified, but one cannot say that he has been active (talk less of judging his competence). Babalola seem to have been more vocal.

Rafa simply neeeds a huge transfer kitty to deliver. He is not the type to blend in unproven players. Even after selling Alonso, the money he got should have been put to better use. All the Ngog, Insua, etc arent just good enough. A team that plays a lone striker and they dont have a credible backup.

Liverpool have two alternatives to move forward
1. Fire Rafa and get a manager that can work with a limited budget (like O'neil). If a big enough offer comes, sell Gerard.
2. Some rich smuck buys out Hicks and Gillete.

The former is the more plausible solution. A season outside the champions league will really dent liverpool's finances.

The sooner Wenger sells Cesc and moves Nasri to AM, the better for Arsenal. Like Gerard, Cesc is a specialist and  for all his passing skills, cannot run at defenders or win the ball convincingly. If Barca are silly enough to cough out anything north of $30m for him, Wenger should jump at it and use the money to buy 2-3 quality players who are not glass footed.
Cesc is the second coming of Guti, and is just another overrated and overpriced player. He tries to play like Xavi but lacks the defensive abilities of the latter.
