Politics / Re: Amaechis Port Harcourt! by doyin13(m): 6:05pm On Aug 22, 2010 |
I hear construction has started on a monorail in Port Harcourt. Pretty cool. Drums home what we have been shouting all along. The State governments get things done far far quicker. |

I wonder how long it will take before Fergie realises he can't be playing two up front leaving his midfield exposed. . . Especially when one of the two up front is the languid Berbatov. |

This is obviously Kaseem Afegbua talking. . . . Babangida is nowhere near this witty. |

Politics / Politicians And Rented Crowds by doyin13(m): 9:06am On Aug 19, 2010 |
As the general elections get closer with politics getting hotter, and everybody queuing up for it, politicians as usual, are busy mobilising support towards achieving their aims of getting elected into offices. http://businessdayonline.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=13758:political-season-of-rallies--hired-crowd-rejoice&catid=154:city-file |

I think we have spent enough time debating the killings of '92. Please let us slice and dice the man's other doings and prove his unsuitability to lead this nation again. |
Politics / Re: Jonathan Is An Incurable Mediocrity by doyin13(m): 8:43pm On Aug 18, 2010 |
No man is an island. . .It is the quality of the people around him that I am worried about. The times we are in do not demand an inspiring orator nor does it demand a larger than life figure. We have had our share of those and they have gotten us nowhere. We need the states to get stronger and a willing accomplice at the centre to aid the process. |
Politics / Re: Babangida Is Begining To Make Sense by doyin13(m): 8:32pm On Aug 18, 2010 |
He needn't have pulled the trigger on those people that died to be responsible for the killings that took place. That it happened under his watch and from circumstances he connived to create himself is frankly more than enough. |

I can't believe there hasn't been a single word from the governor on the appalling loss of lives over the weekend. But he had time to tweet congrats to Man United fans. Nigeria ti baje tan. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Is Milner Actually Better Than Stephen Ireland? by doyin13(m): 6:55pm On Aug 18, 2010 |
This Mancini chap must have dog shit for brains. To think people get paid millions to 4k things up like this. I would like someone to tell me how much better Milner is than Ireland if at all. |
Politics / Re: Babangida Is Begining To Make Sense by doyin13(m): 6:46pm On Aug 18, 2010 |
His supporters contend he is a policy genius. This is the man who gave us a period of austerity then decided it was best to spend money developing ''Abuja the money'' pit than address the power issue. Genius indeed. |

Who is the idiot comparing Obj to Babangida. What the Bleep does Obj have to do with the issue at hand. Is Obj running for the presidency? Comparing one failed regime with another. Bloody person. . . . |
Politics / Re: Babangida on youtube by doyin13(m): 8:23pm On Aug 17, 2010 |
IBB must be jazzing me. . .God knows I detest the man, but I am wondering who out there is good enough. Of all those who are out there now, I see no one six months to the purported elections who has put forward a programme of any kind. He has a programme and like the evil man that he is, it contains much of what many of us are clamouring for: Downsizing and decentralizing government. State policing. etc. Ultimately, the problem with Nigeria is not policy but delivery. The FG under the democratic dispensation has only grown increasingly worse when it comes to project delivery. Anyone who can swallow their ego and pass on the responsibilities for infrastructural delivery to the states has my votes regardless of their past record. |
Business / Re: Nigeria Exchange Rates To Dollar-history by doyin13(m): 1:34pm On Aug 17, 2010 |
Your economics is still pretty scruffy. The dynamics are way more complex than you have outlined here. The primary aim of most central bankers is stability. Central Banks will intervene at times to shore up or weaken their currencies, but the kind of precipitous devaluation seen with the Naira was a recipe for disaster based on any economic theory. |
Business / Re: Nigeria Exchange Rates To Dollar-history by doyin13(m): 1:04pm On Aug 17, 2010 |
@paddy lo then why does anybody bother having a static exchange rate if a weaker exchange rate is better. every economy would simply continue devaluing their currency in a continuous case of oneupmanship in order to give their exporters an edge. |
Business / Re: Nigeria Exchange Rates To Dollar-history by doyin13(m): 12:53pm On Aug 17, 2010 |
paddy_lo: From your logic, one should require less yen to exchange for the dollar than say the tunisian dinar since japan has greater productive base than tunisia. |

So BigB1 is under IBB's payroll and Jonathan decided he needed a mouthpiece on nairaland too. hence the employment of Beaf. |

stillwater: we will soon start our own tribalism thread you hear Kobojunkie: motor bike oo is what i meant. Okada accidents result from the carelessness of the riders themselves than from car drivers. I suggest riders without the influence of kai kai would be relatively safe. |
Politics / Re: Jonathan - The 100 Day Whirlwind by doyin13(m): 1:31am On Aug 15, 2010 |
i think its a bit unfair on him regarding the budget. the national assembly was responsible for the optimistic benchmarks and addition of various pork barrel projects. |

Stlll too early to judge him. . . Nigeria's problem aren't the intangibles that look best on paper. |

Politics / Re: What Tangible Thing Has The Fg Done The Past 10 Years? by doyin13(m): 7:29pm On Aug 09, 2010 |
@paddy lo Obama will not be asked what roads he has built perhaps because all the roads needed to be built have been built. Comparing the situation in Nigeria and developed economies serves no purpose whatsoever. Eisenhower conceived the Interstate highway system, provided ninety per cent of the funding but states were responsible largely for the construction. But our FG tried threatened legal action against a state government attempting to repair a critical highway within its borders. The reason I posed this question from the beginning was to show the total collapse of the FG's ability to actually coordinate and get anything done amidst all the quangos and MDG's siphoning funds into private pockets, as the recent case of the power committee proved. http://www.thisdayonline.com/nview.php?id=180257 Every single sector of the Nigerian economy is in a state of emergency. Even warzones have it better than we do. Wartime Germany still managed to provide power despite the heavy bombardment the country suffered from the allied powers. And your riposte is some useless theory about what a FG is meant to do. The FG still has responsibility for roads all over the land, still has responsibility for numerous secondary schools and universities, policing in all the nooks and crannies, waterways etc. So it is important we enquire what the FG has done lately either to augment or maintain the infrastructure under its ambit. |
