Like Rome, the investors’ apathy did not surface in a day. It started in 2008 during the share price meltdown that saw investors losing close to N3trillion in the market. For instance, some one like Aremo Olusegun Osoba, the former governor of Ogun State, clearly provided a face behind the figures. According to the ex-governor, the hundreds of millions of Naira he sank on stocks had all gone down the drain.

His regrets: “If I had known it would be like this, I would have stuck to my strategy of buying property. I wasn’t a stock person. I believe more in property .But I was persuaded into it and it hit me hard. You can imagine when First Bank went from N48 to N13.Then Access Bank went from N20 to N3;Transcorp from N9 to seventy something kobo.

So you can calculate how much I would have lost. It is not that I am buying one million, two million. We are talking of hundreds of millions, not tens of millions. I was buying and selling and making money until it collapsed .The whole thing crashed overnight. To make matters worse, one of the banks gave me credit to buy their shares. And when the market crashed, they sat on my money to offset the loan.”

^^ more people watch those mexican soap in lagos than watch the npl in nigeria

and apart from nta (that have very poor quality) how many stations have nationwide coverage? Ait is only available in some states

super sport has an African-wide audience so more people can watch and more companies will be involved with the sponsorship

a bit quiet in here

what happened to Prof Nnaji's plant meant to be delivered since 2007?

that's a good idea but it won work one bit not at the moment, people dont even watch all the matches and its not available online

Isnt there an avenue for you guys to report this to Fashola or perhaps NUC

Just saw Alonso cursing Kubica and the other Renault guy for blocking him lol


what a cry baby!!!  

Ferrari will be kicking themselves, look at all the people around their car on the grid warming up shaking each other like yeeea we done it, just come in on the podium in front of webber!

Vettel- what a dude, this guy was meant to be the calamity of the year but here he is !!!!

Vettel's tyres must have gone by now and hamilton's

they better get a good time to pit so they dont come out behinds some time wasters

Alonso ready to pit, should come out behind some scroungers!!

which kind draw come be this one, this season start is very slow o!!

Why dont you get in touch with the national secretariat in Abuja for their contact details

What is the 29,000 for?

Try to wait for the manager or get the post general number instead of the governor's number

Bros na wetin, you dey work for British Airways?

Get your thermals-jacket,gloves,hats, muffler ready!!!


Enjoy your trip

Don't worry, INSURANCE OF BENIN IS SURELY COMING BACK TO THE NPL NEXT SEASON, with that sweet stadium and a sport loving Governor, what else can i ask for?


Yes, the monthly award is going to be accumulated until the end of the season, then everything'll be handed out at once, i think that's what the article says.

picture of the sweet stadium?

Yea i know its going to be accumulated, put it also says there will be a nationwide public vote

is it going to be Globacom player pf the month or Firstbank or Coca Cola/Lucozade - who is going to be sponsoring the awards? Supersports?

another thing I don't understand; before the start of the league, it was reported that there was an ongoing inspection of stadium facilities by 'private media outfit[b]s[/b]' who are the others since its only supersports showing the league

lol he wants to fly na!!

this championship is Red Bull's unless they screw up big time i even foresee Vettel allowing Webber through if needed

relegation candidate is better than division candidate hehehehe, keep the fire burning for insurance

Who will be sponsoring the Monthly awards? I think this a good idea

I think there should be proper media coverage esp on the internet for the NPL, so much so that everyone will be able to recognise player with their pictures alone

All these under gomina FASHOLA?? and sosan?

eko o ni baje o!!!

cadno:

bad loans have been bought up at juicy price even

Glad you enjoyed your trip and didn't overstay your welcome

[quote author=oyinda. link=topic=526746.msg6937160#msg6937160 date=1287041209]I think the best response will be for a nigerian to create a documentary on race relations in the UK and the immigrant experience.
Let Nigerians see the UK for what it is. not a land of milk and honey as is being portrayed. lol It won't stop people from going abroad but it will give people something to think about.
most nigerians don't know these things. I had never heard of the word "racism" until i left naija even though it's such a huge topic.

to me, that will be the best response. [/quote]Spot on! Lets just forget about the thugs harassing innocent traders/motorist daily and sponsor a production on race relation in the UK

Funny enough there are loads of 'immigrant stories' openly available,there have been loads of programmes about racism on their TV networks and guess what their govt response was to tackle it head on as much as they could not to side step the issue

Documentaries? NTA,AIT will rather show High Chief Dr (mrs) getting another chieftancy title than 'waste' money exposing Nigerians to racism in another country
ordinary documentaries about issues within the country has not been explored by Nigerians- desertification, Niger Delta oil spills, kidnapping, SME businesses, unemployment, skill aquisition . . . these are what most nigerian would like to know I believe

As smart and skilled as the companies that employ them really

The way i see it nigerian companies rarely train their staff or develop new graduates through.
seems they expect everyone with a degree and certificate to be able to do anything or do everything after three months

Maybe if companies invest more in training or putting together a through graduate programme, mid-management programmes and so on

It seems there's always someone brought from outside to join in with the latest degree going
and the working environment in many workplace is disgusting everything is politics, favouritism and FEAR!

na only observation o no experience

Maybe you should call their customer service department

One would have thought, Madam Dora, Jonathan or even Fashola would have responded one way or the other to this

Is madam dora going to ask for an apology?
Is Johnie going to talk about it on his facebook page?
Is Fashola going to post pictures of the buildings he commissioned or funds he raised for security?

Only in Nigeria, where someone is linked with consistent ineptitude and incompetency, where someone is being trialled for monumental corruption and mismanagement will someone like Ogunjobi be appointed as a chairman

in some other countries, every individual or cooperation will never want to be linked or associated with such persons
whether he was found guilty or not!!

oooo fine rounded onion bootay!!!!

OMG is that Mr Viera i'm seeing you are still on this site!!!! Gunners Aluta 

the american version is just huge and flamboyant, and they wear oversize suits 

So is Jonathan going to Tell us his solution to 6-3-3-4 system or what exactly is wrong with the system

The Zoo keeper should stop using militant lingo and tell us his achievement in terms of education in Bayelsa
getting a phd in monkey observation is not enough imo

Jarus:
Was Prof up to 87? I doubt it.

@Ileke-Idi,
How on earth, will a literate Nigerian, up to 20 years of age not know Professor Babs Fafunwa?

Should everyone know a minister by name? What if she didnt even study in Nigeria?

These labs should be replicated all over the cpuntry especially in the major towns right from the seaports and airports!

Such a shame a country battling high cases of fake drugs is waiting for donors to donate TruScan instead of investing heavily in such equipment and laboratories!!
