What happened to the banking Awards Vanguard Newspaper promises to organise annually ?

[quote author=naija-doll link=topic=439298.msg5979847#msg5979847 date=1272666508]Donald Duke has met with who-is-who Southeners in US and London, he was in US just 2wks ago, and so most 'Ohanezes' here got his back. [/quote]Yea sure, they'll always be there when he needs a shoulder to whine on - you know nigerian politics can be a real b***8 to saxophone playing suit boy

inconsequential - that's what the former minister from SE called those chiefs in the US/UK

Onlytruth:
I would support either candidate, no shaking.

Donald Duke needs to do REAL politicking. Everybody wants something. He should go to the South east and meet with Ohanaeze. Then he should meet (even if by proxy) with MASSOB, then he should also meet (by proxy again) with MEND. These are the real grass root mobilizers in the two zones (south east/south south). He should pick an activist from the north as his running mate. Believe me, if he does these, and there is free and fair elections, we will win.

All these are assuming that Jonathan is not running. There is no way the two can run successfully.
I would advise Donald Duke to go for it next year through another party(nothing is stopping him ). He should use AC but should run on a joint ticket with APGA. Only then can he beat a PDP candidate in a free and fair election.

That's what i'm talking about! real naija politiks!!

ojesmine:
With his motive, actions and recent achievement as the acting president of Nigeria, despite obasanjo's advise to him not to run for president come 2011,
do you think Acting president Goodluck Jonathan Should Run for president come 2011?

plz reasons needed if for or against

Such as. . . .??

father ab:
Babangida arrived at the Ogbe Stadium, venue of the event in a Toyota Coaster bus in company with Oshiomhole; Governors Emmanuel Uduaghan (Delta); Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers); Liyel Imoke (Cross River) and Timipre Sylva (Bayelsa), who represented Acting President Goodluck Jonathan.

imagine!

wining and dinning with Babangida

Dont mind all those northerners! they are the ones destroying nigeria

krendo:
I don't know why you think Duke can only win online.

You are a victim of PDP politics. If you believe only PDP can win elections then you should not cry when PDP wins.

I believe Duke has the capacity to win broad support from ordinary voters if he pursues his campaign vigorously.

IBB has one vote, OBJ has one vote, Buhari has one vote, Jonathan has one vote. That is how the world should be.

So if you think the world should remain as it is for Nigeria, then you have no business being here. I don't know why you waist your time online only to ridicule online commentators and political groups.

if you think it means nothing then stay out of it. no need coming here just to talk down others.

and you think he didnt campaign vigorously for the last elections? he didn't even get a look in the last time around not a single SE politician even acknowledge him, how involved is he in nigerian politics since leaving office

i enjoyed his blog back then though, just a shame 90% of those who had access to it were not in nigeria and the remaining 10% live far away from the polling booth anyway

krendo:
that does not mean we should allow a very dumb man like Jonathan to have a free ride.

Duke is more capable. Let Jonathan go and sit down.

If South South does not produce a good candidate, then a Middle Belter will emerge.

No way for Jonathan, he is not up to the job.

By the way we are in democracy and any number of candidates from South can contest. If Jonathan wants to back the interest of South, let him not stand and support Donald Duke. It must not be the other way round.

shior Donald cant even get support from the South east, same with Jonathan, teh yonly way jonathan will get support is if he keeps running errand like a good boy. If the voting were to be online then Donald duke might just win- playing an instrument and wearing suit is not enough you need big political support-naija doll will rather stay indoors than vote 

Duke should go join AC that way we will have a bigger opposition; with PDP/ANPP up north AC down southwest and some parts of SE that cant decide

How come the list you made about transfers did not include fees or revenue accruing to the teams?

seems heartland made good business

honeric01:
@dis guy

Wetin dey do u now?lol, why should bbc write about what they don't know anything about? Those that are closer to the local league stage cant even get the whole details on the league, is it bbc thats 2000 miles away from the league venues that should be trusted and accepted? The clubs have records of their team's performance, and the main ppl at fault are the npl goats and the nff.

bros, the bbc's budget is bigger than 12 states in nigeria put together, their research budget is bigger than edo state's annual budget no vex lol what am basically saying is if we cant pin point or showcase our figures some nosey researcher will do it for us

Kobojunkie:
That is not true. All you have done to this point is regurgitated information you probably got from some post on this. No one has actually revealed exactly what the plans for this are beyond possible lines from articles on the project.

The question of who and what this airport will be used for is valid. And just like the questions on how exactly this will create 2 million jobs, no one has so far provided answers but more conjecture and claims.

Still waiting for that, it seems infrastructural projects in other parts of Lagos cant bring as much jobs as those in tiny lekki/ajah axis

I feel for those buying up in that area, just consider extra 500,000 people from all over lagos going to Lekki for work daily, the traffic and noise from the nearby airport, _{as usual i can just see those prison wallsfence getting higher}

kosovo:
No Nigerian would resign from Public Office,

Okonji iweala?

Since becoming Acting President Jonny boy should come out n address nigerians so we can ask him categorically what he feels about CBN reforms- he has gone out of his way to be interviewed by CNN, he should honour naija journalists too so these vanguard cabal can let us breathe

Lamido Sanusi, governor, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Tuesday vowed he will resign his appointment if his recent actions taken to salvage the banking industry were found to be fundamentally faulty.

so is there any proof his actions are fundamentally wrong?

[quote author=Xavier. link=topic=439624.msg5978937#msg5978937 date=1272655775]Sanusi talks too much for financial expert/risk analyst. Its is shameful that is d best ds country can bring forward. A regulator willing to sacrifice d economy of a whole nation for some silly vendetta[/quote]Financial experts shouldnt talk too much

A source in the Presidency, told Vanguard that the Acting President, Dr Goodluck Jonathan has continued to receive reports indicating that the policy introduced by Sanusi is strangling Nigerian banks and in effect devastating the nation’s economy.

Apart from about 23, 000 workers who are said to have lost their jobs in the banks since October last year, Nigerian investors, importers and manufacturers are said to be suffering because banks are no longer granting loans and other facilities that would help them carry on with their businesses.

Jonathan is obviously a boy boy, one of those that get bullied in school by the bad boys at the back of the class

nobody is talking about the recession causing credit squeeze or job loss just cbn reforms as if other countries are also suffering the effect of sanusi's reforms awon iran kiron

Sky Blue:
That is exactly my point, I do not know and guess what? Neither do you (unless of course you are claiming to have seent he contract). I however gave you examples of other major PPP projects the Lagos State government has been involved in whereby no funding came from the government. You do not know that government will contribute to part of the capital. Concessions like in the other PPP projects? Most likely. But funding? You do not know so please stop claiming you do when you don't. People seem to have redefined PPP on this thread as meaning a partnership whereby government contributes funding. That is not necessarily true and there are different types of PPP.

where?

my understanding is that in Nigerian law there is no roational presidency BUT in PeeDeePee it is all agreed!
Even AC adopted this rubbish in the last election

What do you think IBB is doing in the south all this week? talking about quota system being bad, rotational presidency being rubbish by the time an hausa man emerge (they are already 3 throing teh hats into the ring, havent seen any southerner brave enough) Donald Duke is looking for where to park and would settle for VP is push comes to .  .   . see what happened to Goodluck could have been him!!

Our brothers from the North are political scammers, and we in the South are political mugus simply because we especially the Igbo's and Yoruba's cannot agree to work together, The North used that divison to their advantage

Correct man!

its not that the Igbo amd Yorubas cant work together, [s]just that one group cant form allaince to save their life[/s] One group has never been able to work with any other major/minor group in the country

Sky Blue:
*sigh* LOOOL.

PPP does not by definition mean government contribute funding. You do NOT know that government is going to pump in funds into the project or what percentage of the capital they would even cover in (if any), concessions and partnership on other areas, sure, but NOT necessarily funding. Please, the internet can be a good tool for basic research, use it .

Eko Atlantic is also a PPP project, why not go do some research and tell us how much of the capital for the project came from government? Lekki free trade zone is another PPP project, similar assignment, go and do some basic research and come back and tell us what proportion of the capital for the project government is covering. We anticipate the results of your findings.

This is not about being against a position, this just about debates based on plain misinformed and sometimes ignorant arguments so vehemently fought, you would assume the people actually knew what they were talking about.

Sky Blue since the beginning of this thread you have been telling everyone to do basic research- almost as if you have a particular source where people can get this information as to the contribution of the state govt and the private, can you please help out

_{Personally I feel when a govt/company withold information that is not a threat to their security tehy have something to hide!!}
I mean theres a reason why the FOI havent been signed in nigeria

Now back to PPP, How do you know that the Govt will NOT be pumoing some money and other resources into this project
many other ppp project have proven they do so assuming some in teh future will definately involve tthe govt shelling out some in form of land and tax waivers is not exactly off the mark is it?

sjeezy8:
Everyone is saying elite this and that but the project is privately funded I mean what do Nigerians want the FG to control all business in Nigeria? Nigerians make no sense, one minute they complain about Governement controling everything and looting- the next they complain about Elites and private business ventures. Wetin concern people if its not govt money?

The fact of the matter is Private investors arent there to "better the lives of people" without gaining revenue in return, the job of the LAG Govt is to make Lagos state business friendly so investors can invest create jobs, and revenue for the state by taxes from private companies, that will be put into infrastructure.

We dont want a socialist Governemnt, its unrealstic to think a country can develop without elite being the ones who will fund (the needed) private industry.

Oh I thought it was a PPP project. no? since its privately funded the govt should then have time and money to finance other projects elsewhere- Schools for students  in uncompleted building with no toilets and many having classes under trees under trees for example, better pay and equipment for medical workers seeing as tehy go on strike every other month or is that too socialist to ask

akwaowoudo:
The disgrace and the blame is that of the girl's family. Investigation should be on; Yerima might steal the girl.

You cant balme poor people! The blame should be on the country bold enough to accomodate a living paedophile, a country where paedophilia is legal according to its constitution and country where paedophilia is a personal private affair

Egyptians need visa to enter the country- how did she get a visa for the purpose of marriage

Several Senators attended the marriage! it wasnt dont under the coer of darkness in some remote village near Niger
it took place in the CAPITAL of nigeria!!

the repliies to the questions were somehow everything had to do with - who will take care of the house, kids, who will satisfy my koko

For my wife to travel abroad and leave the children for me alone to cater for is uncalled for and abnormal

A man alone cannot take care of the children and the home

Who would stay and watch over my children when I am not home?

Since we have children here in Nigeria, who would be the sudden nanny, I or the house girl?

In other words, at the moment she leaves, another lady would accompany me home to take her place as the new wife. I married in my late twenties to check-mate my libido,

we hope in the nearest 10 years from now, Nigeria will have the best business school in the whole world

dey there dey dream, Indian Business School that was set up in 2001 is one of the best bschool in the world

FBS:
It's beyond imagination as to why there is no single FULLY functional website for the NPL and for how many years now?
It's a project I'm looking into knowing fully well that a lot of resources and personnel will be required.

in an report i read earlier this year or late last year obaseki spent N115million on I.T

But somehow I blame the sponsor as well, if they cant put their foot down to get these obese men to promote their brand
in way that fits the 21st century

If BBC comes to say rubbish now oga honeric will be asking where they got their figures from, without showing any proof to the ocntrary

exactly, I saw fesus keyamo firing a shot at IBB

and i thought oshomoile was a labour party candidate

colomb:
Any1 who thinks this is alright is morally decayed. You can have your views and blah blah blah about no constitutional provisions against this but what isn't right isn't. If your Mohammed in his time did this, ask yourself does that means he is that ignorant about the medical consequences that follows such act. Fact is that Islam is a hypocritical religion.I'd rather be an atheist than for any reason whatsoever get in involve in a religion that promotes violence and immorality.

well the country itself is morally decayed, considering the Phd, foreign degree holders who drafted the constitution and read it to us on a daily basis without ammending it since 1999- all of them by the way no point say oh the north or muslims!!

illusion2:
He married a 15 year old in 2006, divorced her in 2010 to marry the new '13 year old' Egyptian.

Its a shame on our country.

Arabs have updated their laws to reflect modern ways of doing things ,but horrible people like Yerima ,who by the way has 3 other Nigerian wives aged between 35-45 ^{one of whom is a medical doctor} ,will always try to take us back.

In a state with 60% poverty,all the greedy man desires in life is to sleep with young girls every few years. . . .

I'm sorry for Nigeria.

What happened after marrying an underage in 2006? Nothing, why didnt anyone mention it? were they too busy calculating their bonus and tidying up their mortgage in UK/USA or hosting big boy bankers?

Iranoladun:
It is high time we take the bull by the horn and review the 1999 constitution

I cann't imagine Yerima getting away with this while others are currently quietly engaging in child-marriage unchallenged in the north all under the guise of religious/cultural practise

He got away with it before. . . . I still cant understand why the female senators cant collectively agree to stay away from the chamber until that man is thrown out

someone mentioned 2million jobs in the lekki project alone-that is about half the unemployed adults in lagos

Is this figure from the government or someone got it from the business plan?

The player that deliberately punched another player should be charged to court for assault or Grievious Bodily Harm!!

The Way Forward

The only way to prevent this from happening in the future is to ensure that the website is functional. A website without basic information is no website after all.

In England, www.premierleague.com is the official website of the league and contains every information needed.

Moving over to France, there is www.ligue1.com, which is the official website and provides the necessary information.

In South Africa, there is www.psl.co.za. There are other examples across the world.

These websites have all the information required so there is no way a player would fault the league body on matters like goal scored that the NPL claims to have necessary statistics.

To ensure that players don’t fault the system, the NPL must be seen to have done everything right.

the way forward in my opinion is t oemploy more graduates (I.T, database, statistics and media) to work with REFEREES and be independent of the clubs and NFF, so they get yellow cards, red cards, free kicks, goals, etc etc from referees immediately after games displayed onto the website and distributed to news agencies as well. atleast 150 new jobs can be created with this!!

Is that really the University of Lagos?? ?   ?

what are they professors and students colour/dirt blind?

Thank you and good nite

its got to be the former AGF aondaka even his face p.i.s.s me off, he looks like a jaguda with nine lives, someone that will say rubbish and belive it almsot immediately with some repulsive subsection 1 of section 2 of subsection 3 of the nigerian constituion

with Iwu one can still blame the system and others

the way i see it , it is easier to achieve (visible)results in those 'new' developed areas
the people in the new state are more vocal, more connected so they can always arm twist local politicians to get things done in their area

I think people should start paying attention to what is going on at the local government level
where a lot of waste continues to occur mostly due to their responsibilities not being fully
understood by the populace.

People continue to criticise State governments for failures that should be attributed to local
governments. Perhaps if we put our searchlights on individual local councils we might get
somewhere.

Local government dont have powers in nigeria, they are under the state government

The Badagry expressway project will gulp minimum two hundred billion when it is done

I thought this was a World bank/ECOWAS/FG project
