Precisely. His case is still pending at the tribunal, so he might not even make it to 2011.


But seriously, how can anyone expect to rule nigeria in a democratic setting and just fill all the
prominent cabinet slots with a bunch of Northerners ?

- Look at what is going on at Tinapa, yar'adua's administration has virtually put that project on hold

- The power projects at the Niger delta have been put on hold

- Even the lagos atlantic city project undertaken by Fashola and some private investors, the fed govt is intervening;
they are claiming it is federal property, not lagos'

Nigerians are not bad as portrayed by foreigners.
Its a matter of Nigerians comepting with them in every facet of there socio-econmic life.
Our people are very proud, arrogant and sometimes desperate, these kind of attitudes in a foreign will always make them offensive.

texazzpete:
There seems to be some disconnect here.
The title said the war was about oil, but the article points to war profiteering by contractor companies.

There's a difference between these two. please clarify

Can you compare what US has lost in that War with what you falsely claimed as the gain so far? Why making your slice up on the war without proof to back it up?

@ Poster,
Carryin out cheap survey, huh?

I think not. The emphasis seems to be more on innovation. On the particular ad in question, a brand new car lease ad will inevitably have some status element to it.

While i have some reservations on their services too, i believe we (Clients & prospective clients) need to be more receptive to change. We are all so used to the traditional bank ads of tally number et al.

Borrow from Who? World Bank? IMF?
and borrowing $390mil you think its INTEREST FREE?

he minister explained that in line with the Federal Government‘s approved borrowing policy, the credit would be secured from the IDA as a soft loan window of the World Bank Group.
He said, “The IDA credit is a highly concessional facility with repayment period of 40 years, including 10 years moratorium. Interest rate to be charged is zero per cent”
The project is to be implemented by the Federal Ministry of Transportation.

Why do you have to pay rent in advance? Simple, because of gross imbalance in supply and demand.

There are millions of potential tenants against very few landlords, thereby giving the landlord more negotiation power. It simple law of economics and the situation can only be solved with economics. If the cost of building materials are within the reach of the lowest paid in Nigeria, the table shall surely turn in favour of tenants.

I can only laugh when people are advocating laws to prosecute landlords for collecting rents in advance, and if the Attorney-General actually recommended that law, then he must really be an slowpoke who should have nothing to do with the law profession. Why? Because if you jail someone for collect rent in advance, in order for balance in law, then you have to jail a tenant for defaulting in rent payment.

And considering that there are much more tenants in Naija than landlords, that means that the law will hit much harder in the poor (tenants) which, given the situation of economic hardship in Naija, are more likely to default than landlords defaulting. Our inadequate jails will then be filled up with tenants.

For those who uses UK as example, my question to them is that do we have same economy in Naija as UK? There is no national credit database or electoral record that shows whre everyone lives at any given point in time.

TOH:
so do the ones here and not just for 5 bloody pounds/hr like you guys either.

Same in N.America and Canada where I reside. They are allowed to work full time during holidays (summer and Christmas)

The line between political agitation and criminality has become blurred, with gangs kidnapping oil workers for ransom and funding themselves by stealing crude oil.

blacksta:
Dear friend do you not know that the 60 billion is just a mere figure doesn't exist. I would not be suprised in about couple years we back in debt like the former. We are run by people who don't understand economic principles a bunch stark idealess morons that we call leadership and you can gurantty two thirds of the money will be gazumped

He explained that the new policy, which was announced two weeks ago, was to guide against frivolous pricing of shares and to promote market liquidity.

I think CAMERAS ( even if is mobile camera fixed on cars) should be used as allibi. Otherwise this USELESS, GOOD for Nothing Policemen, will use this to victimice Lagosians

Busuguma:
i now understand that there are two sides, the tenant and
the landlord each protecting his interest. just as ireke puts
it, if a person used his own hard earn money to build a house
for rent and the tenant refused to pay him for 3 years how
will he feel. we actually need something to balance the both
sides and as suggested, its the government that will come
in. i am not satisfied with the way our rent tribunals are
handling matters.

for those of you who are staying in other parts of the world
how does the tenant/landlord relationship exist?

Generally an average Nigeria don't like to pay bills.

Mr Michael Aaondakaa, the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minster of Justice, in May requested state commissioners of justice to initiate legislation to prohibit landlords from collecting house rents in advance.

Aaondokaa had argued that most Nigerians even in the formal sector did not earn income in advance to make up the payment of rents in the same proportion.
