Protectionism will not bring any benefits to the country as a whole.

most countries- UK for example will never go out of the way to employ people from foreign countries, they only consider people from other countries if and when they can't get some people from their own country AND THEY DON NOT SPECIFICALLY STATE WHAT NATIONALITY THE PERSON MUST COME FROM or who the job is ideal for based on nationality, just bias from the onset!

See how poor men are jubilating the little itch of rich men!

little itch? bloody hell it cost you £500m!! well you can go for £1billion next season you still aint winning much!

@ Dis Guy - What of the new rates introduced? Aren't they supposed to take immediate effect?

Well according to this it should take immediate effect maybe there are some 'buts' and 'ifs' the brokers are trying to capitalise on.

Dollyp1, why don't you ask them what the charge was for.

Seriously I lived in the north for 2 years and I know these Almajiris are not from Niger Mind you the Almajiri's are different from the curly haired, fair skinned ones we see around begging for money. They are children between the ages of 3 and 14 years very dark skinned. Because of the extreme poverty in the north some parents send their children to Islamic scholars to learn Koran since the Mullah is not a millionaire, the children are left to go outside to community to beg for alms from the people and some people give them because they see it as if you are helping God's work. These children sleep outside in the rain or shine and woe betide you if you go to and canteen and take your eyes of your food.

What did other state governor do effectively to curb begging ?

I heard he rejected a deal for the VP post during the pdp something. Isnt the position of the FCT a bit lower than that of a vp

Anyway, I hope he is part of the plan, that is if he doesnt join another party

bloody hell how can he(el rufai) be finance minister or even energy

It is fair if you have been told the percentage they'll charge you for every transaction

It's a rip off if it is well above the 'normal' commsion rate and you've not been made to understand that before you bought the shares

not too sure, what the current charges are

I heard some villages in east does not too sure- Akwa Ibom

P.S: this is what someone that did nysc in the state told me as they were specifically warned before their service

you can go directly to the issuing house(s) in most case or the bank during IPOs (i.e if the bank is offering its own shares)

akara:
Anybody but another OBJ. If that happens it will be a double slap to Nigerians

and we will take it like the soldiers we are happy people

so anyone for the Attorney General role?

Seun:
Putting the money in a bank is actually equivalent to giving it away. I don't know how to explain it, but it's true.

yea nigeria should use the so called reserve and build hospital, farms, and more refineries then

_{I really wonder sometimes if other governors basically use up the allocations and get some sort of loans from private and international firms to build infrastructures are not doing so at the expense of the the next administrator or FG with some over optimistic projects making waves with NTA and co}

galantly ko garrison ni

na so so route one foozball you dey play      

bu ha haha

jesusfreak:
shld we observe a clapping ovation for yar'adau just because he didnt steal govt money?

leadership goes beyond all that. if the man couldnt develop his state while he was govenor, y should we waste our time over him. will he begin to spring up surprises now that he's president? i think not. what he will do in his position as president is already reflected tru katsina state.

if he did, y didnt he campaign against the ugly trend?

i already know the kind of president we have and im not expecting him to peform more than his capabilities

In the nigerian context, yes, you should observe a standing ovation for yaradua 'just because he didnt steal govt money' and also for other governors that achieved something

almajiris is a big issue for the hausas, they feel strongly about it and im sure yar'adua ^{being an hausa man} would not consider it improper to have children beg for food on the streets.

Almajris is a big issue for nigerians, I dont know if you watched the documentary on nta about almajiris but ALL of the 'elders' in that programme consider it 'abusing the goodwill of fellow citizens' and pure laziness in most case

if he did, y didnt he campaign against the ugly trend?

i wonder how many governors did that, given the condition of nigeria any govt official that does without putting in place adequate facilities will be a laughing stock- give out 50 okadas, 20 generators and several bags of rice is wasteful!

basically you want someone who will be on television with about 12 PR assistants huh?

In Yar' Adua, I see complacency.

based on what exactly? based on the fact that he looks calm and collected?
everyone cant be an oshomole* (the ex-labour guy), people lead in different ways

Atiku was hungry for the job does that mean he can actually deliver?

Erm I can start after my vacation mate!  

zillonnair:
i should tell you so you can go ahead and further castigate the character of african and nigerians in particular. Nonsense, i suggest you find a more positive thing to write about

so basically there is nothing positive for you to tell him?

My focus are the recent national reforms (with respect to the global education conferences) and their
impact on the daily life in schools! Maybe some of you can help me: What do you think are the EFA
goals or the UBE reform affecting the local schools or is it just political rhetoric which has not that much impact?

most of those reforms are still on paper right about now probably on the conference chair
honestly i think those reforms will go a long way IF they are diligently put to practice but as thing are we are still waiting for the change, a lot of time has already been spent on inspections alone and most of the recommendations have been met by rusty heads of school that don't welcome change without getting anything in return [usually less regulation, less workload, improved salaries, better job security]

Right about now the current minister of education is taking up a new job, so we'll probably be another 6months back in reforms as the new minister would either ditch the current plans or take time in adjusting to the new position

Yes, my friend apparently got 'mosquito allowance' when he was there, apart from earning more than most of the people in his group

HSMP anyone?

so who came up with the label 'moderate muslim' and the other one

_{AA: are you guys trying to convert people to your religion or just basically telling them they are evil and you're not
before someone accuse me of 'avoiding the issue' please note the issues have been avoided,turned rephrased infact this thread should be in the general discussion section so no ban me o!}

Thank you

adefred:
Governor Joshua Dariye again served fresh impeachment notice by Plateau State lawmakers on the day he resume in office after the illegal impeachment.

is this not Bad Belle? The man have 29 days to handover, it's better and honourable to allow him complete his tenure and depart peacefully?

It is also better and honourable to respect bail!

"I want the deputy governor to cooperate and handover properly. This dodging-dodging will not help,"-BBC
Mr Dariye says he will "pump a lot of money" into a state-owned university he was building before he was impeached last November.

"pump a lot of money" hint hint

True, Nigeria na something else

Like i said somewhere, he will be around sound and exposed proffessionals

why don't we get people that know something about law in there. the Nigerian constitution is very confusing as it is!
what are all these accountants and bankers doing in their? 

To be honest the govt shouldnt be encouraging anyone to get insurance backing it should be standard business sense,  Insurance even for big companies is still a grey area for this 'executives' they like cutting corners that's why these regulations always seem like big task to them.

Also to regionalize the program for companies that do not have a lot of assets or that are just starting up until they can raise enough capitals, that way it would be regulated and the small companies too would have a piece of the pie. There would be more competition, better services and more employment.

I don't really get the concept of regionalising  the program, if you mean companies in some parts of the country requiring lower capital, then that is a good idea only that some people might exploit that by opening a branch say in katsina state/ogun state only to open another in lagos where virtually 99% of their operations will take place.
on the other hand quality might be comprised

I think they can have something like community banks or different requirements for brokers that deal with special kind of stocks e.g ethical stocks or exclusively funds

I think with better regulations and enforcements we will be in safe hands-fingers crossed
