You should have bought your ticket, made your reservation for accomodation with arrival and departure date then book an appointment usually 14-21 days befoe your trip, the online appointment plays up sometimes try weekends

erm why is the article from Vanguard exactly the same as the one for BUsinessday


word for word

the camera looks somehow bulky

but if you've used it before and you find it okay cool, i'd prefer something compact and lightweight with about the same function to be honest

those little crazy tiny button phone, i was just on break and caught one hottie, she made me put my number on her likkle phone the thing almost embarass me sef, i should have dropped the BB make e fokasibe for ground!

If someone tells me bank staffs in nigeria BEAT their customers with koboko i swear I will belive them!!!!

so 1 person with a crutch can now be considered a security threat, but his/her check book is perectly okay out of his sight knowing how nigerian bankers operate

when last did 1 man robbery take place in nigeria?

Why wasnt the customer offered special service - internet, atm, personal officer etc etc

the bank should be burnt to ashes and the insurance should be rejected!!!

what a trip, are you going away to rest or taking time off work ??

This should be fun, get you camera ready and take extra batteries

@disguy

so you are suggesting the gov put in "more" money to get PHCN running before investors come in?

for the last 10 yrs, how much has bin put into PHCN
how has it improved the lot of the company?


the problem is that people forget that "readymade" policies DO NOT WORK FOR NIGERIA!!!

our case is peculiar,

the last time i checked, investors conducts due diligence on a company they want to acquire,

in the end they put a price that is comensurate with the value of the company,




they should off-load these waste pipes,

theres a reason investors are not rushing in and ive stated my opinion about that up there, as much as the sector is a goldmine they wont come into a 'peculiar' case like these when you set price for them to make at a loss, tey wont come in if tehy are not sure you wont reverse the 'subsidy' granted 2-3years ago, they wont come in if basic due deligence cant even be done because they dont know who owns what or who exactly will be handling past employees like the case of NITEL, ajaokuta, refineries, nigerian airways etc

Investors coming into a PECULIAR country like ours want to be able to make their money fast before things goes titts up NITEL, the refineries, the steel companies etc etc

netotse:
*sigh* time and time again, i keep asking myself if there's hope for the nigerian power sector

the legal framework is in place already

i agree with that the sector doesn't have to be 'on point' before investors come in. . .

where you people fail in your analysis is that you cant see the picture as it truly is. . .

[size=14pt]the number one reason investors wont come and build power stations or buy the existing ones is because they wont make a profit![/size]

which of course (as i have stated times without number) is because govt is allowing PHCN to charge prices that reflect the costs, you generate at 10naira and you sell at 7.00naira which company would want to come and invest it's money?
we like to compare power to telecoms, but when the GSM companies started where they operating at a loss? people that had waivers, got to choose their own terms, and were making profit under 2 years

oxymoron

you said the law is already in place, then went on to say govt is fixing the price of electricity at below generation rates

so govt make law for private investor then fix price at a loss to same investors = oxymoron

I can still see a crash in this one, the corners are a bit trick and very congested, lots of driver are making moves near the corners

ive just seen the view from webbers position and all i can see is the blue sky when he took off almost like a journey to heaven

really bad crash thank goodness for the overall safety of the sports

he's having a very bad day he was taking too much advantage of the slipstream

many of them are taking advantage of teh safety car refuelling and changing car parts already


advantage button

crazy start!!!

Hamilton caught Webber sleeping at the start!!!

Fashola/Afikuyomi kini big deal, it's only taxpayers money so kini big deal

they should PRIVATISE NTA!!!

madam Dora is a disgrace if she doesnt!!!

proudly9ja:
Overall though, I think the coalition will make mistakes within the next 5 years. Some will be irreparable and some will take a while to rectify. Its up to them to own up after they have made these mistakes and work to correct them.

Its the reason I supported Labour at the last elections. They have made their mistakes, they should have been allowed to correct their mistakes. Now the coalition will make those mistakes all over again and come next elections, will beg to be allowed to correct them.

thirteen years they had. . . .

^^ come on do you honestly think they are that daft, they have done the calculations

And only mushroom universities or should i say mushroom course will be under threat as most universities get their funding from industry or other grants

Majority of the nonEU immigrants are students

Majority of non-EU immigrants maybe be immigrants who entered AS students not necessarily stay on students. . .


_{its almost an insult for a country to try to 'protect' itself nowadays}

I wonder why Australia, Canada don't get the same criticism for having stringent immigration laws

NTA and AIT

sometimes you think they dont have people at the backroom directing affairs

in some case all you can see is the cap/headgear of the AIT newscaster as she is reading from a paper and cant be bothered to look up

However that is no excuse to run down your reserves and ECA. . with nothing to show
Yar adua was no President,he was equivalent to shagari,who allowed all kinds of corruption to go underneath him
meanwhile he is too weak to do anything

Go and read a business day online report,about how Nigerias oil receipts were moved from the CBN to NNPC under Yaradua,which led to leakages of oil revenue

dont get me started. . here click link to read  http://www.businessdayonline.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=11111:why-nigerias-reserves-is-not-following-oil-price-trend&catid=1:latest-news&Itemid=18[/quote]if you go from $140 to $44 and production decreasing steading your savings will definitely go down, and with scarce funding from international org you have to use your own savings to keep things stable especially for a country with massive infrastructural deficit

i have always said that the solution to these waste pipes is to privatize 'em!!!!

i know some wont agree

but i feel thats the only way these companies can operate optimally and compete with the best!!!

when nigerians handle govt property, there is no sense of responsibility,

the general mentality is " NO BE MY PAPA PROPERTY"

For an extremely capital intensive and complex case liek the PHCN, you will need to have it on gorund working and expandable before you can actually privatise these things-- no matter how rare and valuable a 1904 car is; a car enthusiast wont necessarily be rushing for it in africa it it has no engine or repairable suspension!!!

Private sector wont just rush in for a moribund troubled infrastructure like our current PHCN when the laws are not clear on who owns what or what is actually for sale, distribution, generation or transmissions

i can just imagine.  .  .   .  other millionaires even billionaires live on the same row BUT coming together to repair their own street or sort their drainage out; for the benefit of all is beneath them

you see rows and rows of 'beautiful' houses with very shabby looking streets and you wonder if they cant just get out of their chauffeur driven car knock on the next man's house to find a solution to the road on their street/area

whats the biggie with kebabs its for drunks!!

That stew looks delicious i can imagine eating cold eba with it!!

She was like she would never tell her significant other what she wants for her birthday because he is supposed to know, and if he doesn't know, then maybe they are not meant to be together and she will break up with him as it meant that he has not taken the time out to know her and be thoughtful of her.

your funny friend has a psychic for a husband/boyfriend perhaps

how petty do people get nowadays like its only one thing she would ever want

IGNATIUS CHUKWU in Port Harcourt writes that the Rivers State government is poised to revolutionise transportation in the Garden City with the construction of West Africa's first monorail project
President Goodluck Jonathan, on Friday, May 14, 2010, laid the foundation stones to flag off construction of West Africa's first monorail project and perhaps[b] Africa's third monorail[/b] experiment, after the Nile system and Kuala Lumpur monorail project. Should construction go according to plan, and with N50Bn spent by the next five years, five trains of 300 passengers each would move at the same time and run through the routes from morning till night.

heard it all before


there I was thinking Kuala Lumpur was in Malaysia

One line in the Lagos rail project is costing N70b. . .

The permanent secretary, the person in charge of Due Process should be fired and also charged with incompetence!!

he's a thorough-breed

i wonder what happened to him in the final corner he didnt get his brakes right, would do better in between the red bulls than moody Alonso

For some reason ive always thought Alonso will take Hamilton out whenever he gets the chance but he hasnt-not yet anyway, perhaps he's not as bad as i thought

Beaf:
Here's the latest viral video of a trick McLaren played on both their drivers. It's turned out they both genuinely didn't know they were being had!

[flash=640,385]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zf40OzfwOo&hl=en_GB&fs=1&[/flash]

I'll see if I can get the video from the filming Alonso did last week.

finest piece of engineering those cars

have you noticed how Hamilton keep getting in front of button during qualifiers, like button is always relying on strategy and mother luck- at least he cant complain on not getting the same car as Hamilton

Vettle edges Webber

Yea he should, he should steal all the money sell some oil block at then pass the baton, barawo

“What do we do with Jonathan? That is the issue.”

You let him contest a free and fair primaries with other pdp if the northerners are able to produce a pdp candidate fairly, fine!!

[quote author=paddy_lo link=topic=468981.msg6283810#msg6283810 date=1277505421]All the money u made from 1999 - 2007,went towards,salaries,Capital projects,Debt payments of about $15billion
13% derivation payed to oil states,48% payed to states and local Govt

PLus CBN Foriegn reserves of $58billion and another Excess crude account of $20billion left behind as at 2007

what else do u want?

OBJ is no fraud. .he is the most Prudent leader we have had since 1980

Its funny that the Yar adua u want to defend
met $20billion in excess crude,but spent it to $5billion by the time he died
While the CBN reserves fell From $58billion to $40billion

and for 3yrs there was nothing to show. .NNPC became more corrupt,leading to leakages in GOVT Revenue[/quote]you have conveniently ignored the effect of global economy and the price of crude oil during both tenures - Firebrand economist

Kobojunkie:
lol . . . . from what I have heard from people who are in the area . . . the place is open but not buzzing at all.

that's because the demand was extremely over exaggerated, i mean the consultants have to get paid  

they blamed it on the government btw the previous gov is a pdp man
they blamed it on northern bad belle even though the president then was a southerner
the current president is a southerner lets see if tehy leverage to get the customs off their back
why they didnt do this from the begining i dont know  

Kobojunkie:
"If you build it, they will come " . . . We are still waiting for them to come in Tinapa, and we might need to do the same with this airport as well. LOL

LMAO

The governor of the other state is actually paying the airline for empty sear

i remember someone saying Marks and Spencers, Harrods etc are fighting for a shop in Tinapa

The Abuja National Stadium only get used when there a football match generating zero income!
