Politics › Re: Olokola LNG And The Niger Delta Question by doyin13(m): 7:46pm On Aug 11, 2007
@Xris

The funny thing is my reasons for advocating a change are not altruistic.

I know you have been saying that we should ignore the oil, but how can we when the incentive is to continue getting a freebie.

It simply makes economic sense that the Niger Delta should be the base at which oil related development is situated, not in Kaduna or any non oil related area (it seems the Olokola situation is unclear)

I don't want to get too technical, but if anyone has read Freiderich Hayek, you will know that government is a poor distributor of resources. They simply do not have enough knowledge to know the places where resources be best allocated, and this is even more pertinent in Naija case where resources are limited. And if you know Public choice theory you will understand that politicians will make stupid decisions motivated in Naija case by ethnic sentiments. (I just hope there is no resident economist to embarrass me).

If resources are given to the Niger Delta obviously it becomes a battle at state government level, but this is an imminently more manageable problem than a Federal imbalance.

It is a rather crude example but take the case of the Uk where if it should occur, any oil related problems will ultimately be localised to the Scots area and
have a minimal impact on an economy which is not so lopsided. That is why in England we are not too concerned about Scots and their recent overtures towards independence.

So Xris resolving the Niger Delta distribution question will help all communities in their quest for development and stop all that talk about oil you will like to see dispelled.


And who say Ogun no dey produce oil. They never make the oil rig wey go reach am na why.

Literature › Re: Out Of A Nigerian Slum, A Poet Is Born by doyin13(m): 7:28pm On Aug 11, 2007
I do not want to diminish the importance nor the accomplishments of this latter day Zola's, chroniclers of everyday poverty and hardship, and prickers of conscience, but I do have a gripe.

They are becoming a bit of a cliche.

Dreadlocks, Ajegunle, poverty is a characteristic prevalent in naija music and now it seems making an appearance in poetry.

I am pretty sure there is more to life in poverty than the hardship it perpetuates.

I am sure they love, they laugh as well as obviously suffer.

So please some nuances are necessary.

I must say this brother is good though.

I don't know why you guys are trying to relgate a complex issue down to a simple question.

Ther are varying underlying issues that constitute the Niger Delta question, of which the most crucial one at the moment is the distribution of resources that originate from the delta.

I am sure there are other issues(I know Denex you are particularly concerned about the ensuing property grabs and conflicts if the resources are handed back to the delta) that will need addressing come when hopefully ''resource control'' is given to the producing areas.

Be that as it may, it serves as no excuse for the lopsided(to put it mildly) distribution of income from the resources.

I would suggest a timetable, off the top of my head of four years or so for the gradual retrenchment of the current arrangement. This I think will allow all parties to become accustomed to new state of affairs and also give time for the ''sub'' issues to be resolved.

Hmmm. I agree with SMC.

These thread is for those questions that nag at you when you look back at sporting events.

You know the what if's, the when's e.t.c

I don't know about you but I get them from time to time.

The one that constantly nags at me:

What if Tim Howard had caught that f/kick as he should have against JOSE'S Porto?

Wonder where Jose would be now?
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Tottenham Hotspur Supporters Inc by doyin13(m): 4:20pm On Aug 11, 2007
Spurs still have a soft centre. Surprised they did not start with D.Bent after spending all that money on him.

I don't see anything wrong in playing Bent Keane and Berbatov. Bent is a pretty hardworking fellow so he can cover in midfield if need be.

The team is still a work in progress anyway and a lot of positions especially along the defence will still need work.

Well I doubt any of us would begrudge the police for carrying out vice work, but to arrest people on the premise of their dress sense will only give a dangerous license to already licentious policemen.
Politics › Re: Lagos Girls Versus Governor Fashola by doyin13(m): 11:52am On Aug 11, 2007
I will admit that I am a novice when it comes to constitutional matters as per Naija, but this sort of law regardless of the intentions which propel it is not I suggest very useful in as diverse a populace as Lagos.

I don't want to sound like a libertarian but only the most basic of state involvement in these area should be permitted with the onus on not infringing on individual liberty rather than the current state of affairs which is aiming to impose some sort of moral standard.
