I am against people, who in their rush to create for themselves CONSPIRACY THEORIES to appease their little minds, and maybe others who enjoy those funny stories, end up reducing the sincere efforts of the people of Egypt who are out there fighting for their democracy, to merely another WESTERN AGENDA crock.

I notice that many in the conspiracy theory groups missed the opportunity some nonsense on what happened in Tunisia as we were all blown away by how quickly it all started and progressed,and it almost seems conspiracy theorists are working in overdrive to use Egypt to score missed points for themselves within their silly groups .

hasyak:
it seems you are not getting me, who is talking of CONSPIRACY THEORY here? i dont know how else i cam explain my opinion to you, anyway, let me clear some points.

* nothing like conspiracy
* the revolt was started by the masses
* both local/international parties are trying to push for their interest capitalising on lack of leadership from the demonstrators
* it will do you a lot good if can change your vocabulary on the bolded

Kobojunkie:
Western interest? Are you high The IEA man is an Egyptian and is out there protesting, but you have immediately labelled him a WESTERN INTEREST?

Kobojunkie:
I don't see what you claim to see, sorry. The way I see it, what we like to call CONTROL is mainly people allowing themselves to be used by a minority to achieve the selfish goals of the few. And No, the West barely ever turns out to be the Puppet masters in most all CONTROL situations, local Government leaders who have something to gain do. In Egypt's case however, there does not seem to be any immediate group benefiting except the Egyptian people and that is the main reason why the whole world is trying to stay out of this for as long as they can, well, until the People of Egypt decide where this will go.

Ma_J_Blige:
you think egyptians are like nigerians who have to be controlled before they can act on their own?

Switzerland's economy is not only banking and finance based. They also make a bulk of their money from health and pharmaceutical, Tourism etc.

Knight1:
Education. they sell education.

london is like an international marketplace so, they shouldnt be poor

afam4eva:
Countries that have less mouth to feed are actually the richest eg Switzerland and those Scandinavian countries.

ShangoThor:
Its actually quite ironical

1. The bulk of the wealth in the UK was derived from the "Slave Trade" which funded their "Industrial Revolution".

2. The main funders of the "Slave Trade" were the "Barclays Brothers", who later formed "Barclays Bank".

3. Barclay's Bank is one of the biggest banks in the UK that has laundered and stashed billions of looted funds from Nigeria.

So I guess you can say its Nigeria's money being recycled when you consider Nigeria = pre colonial "Slave Coast"

eku_bear:
What is their economy based upon?

Primarily London and international finance/banking, right? They don't manufacture or build anything of note, do they?

Perhaps some UK nationals can shed some more insight on what their country's economy is based on (I'm too lazy to Wikipedia it right now. . . )

Princek12:
Your inputs, please. Do you guys think Nigeria would have been better if Nigerians took to the streets like the Egyptians?

Ma_J_Blige:
^^^

LOL

Uncle why the apologies? No ill feelings- this is the internet.

May God provide you with a half bucket full of chicken today, free of charge, Amen.

Princek12:
It is funny how so many people here are trying to justify marrying someone without courting them, just because so and so did it and it worked out. Let's not disregard common sense in our reasoning. If you don't court the person whom you intend to marry, how will you be able to learn about that person's character before entering a, presumably, lifetime contract?

Ujujoan:
Pleas not that nobody's entirely ruling out courtship. But then the fact that you courted is not a guarantee that your marriage will work and vice versa!

Nobody's saying 'don't court' . . .  and nobody's saying you MUST court! 

bidemi12:
Your friend in SE asia is the exception to the rule. courtship before marriage is like oxygen to life

zayhal:
You can't compare marriage with exams. In the latter, everything is almost predictable and there's an answer to every question. Marriage isn't that straightforward. If it goes according to your comparison, then those who have longer courtships will have more successful marriages. But obviously, it's not always like that.

Plutarch:
Is it good to prepare well b4 going 4 exams?

Stop talking rubbish. Far more than ''1%'' of the nation benefit from the oil revenue. Where do you think all that money came from to build 100 universities, thousands of public primary and secondary schools, roads, bridges, flyovers etc etc all over the country? Was it your money? Have you paid even 1 day's tax in your entire life?

And NO, ''most of the nation'' does NOT live on ''$1 a day''. Not even the poorest village farmer or palm wine tapper lives on that amount in real terms.  How much is a plate of eba and egusi in Washington or New York? Is it not at least $20?

The overwhelming majority of Nigerians eat at least THAT every day, not to mention other expenditure on transport clothing etc, so your $1 a day figure is highly dubious, misleading, and inaccurate.

DeeJay20:
Too many people just dont get it,

1st Question they should ask is why the Govt is going to London Via Brussels
to Raise $500 Million dollars, for what purpose, ?

And all you ITK's chatting rubbish should close your mouths,

Katsumoto:
I do not disagree with your points that allude to fiscal irresponsibility on the part of successive Nigerian governments but that is not the point you were making. You were stating that bond issues are bad for all countries. When debating, you can not apply a generalistic assumption to many; you have to be more specific.

You gave examples of countries that have liquidity problems, spent more than they earned, and cooked books. Get serious. When you lend money to a debtor, you don’t want to hear that your debtor is living extravagantly, giving money to relatives, and cooking his books. Your bad practices will get to speculators who will seek to profit YOUR irresponsible actions. How come[b] Germany, Japan, or the Scandinavian countries have not had been burnt in the bonds market?

Beaf:
No longer will soldiers join in the Jos massacres and burnings of women and little babies! It is a thing to be happy about!
Now we need to send those STF fvkers to Ivory Coast, let them go fight real wars, not wars against little babies.

HERE HERE (clapping ) , !!! STANDING OVATION

eku_bear:
Tell me about it 

Most states at this point are beggars.

Wish I had a list handy of states ranked by IGR.
