Politics › Re: FG Considers Sacking Sanusi ! by dumodust(m): 12:58am On May 02, 2010

Pk001:
It might not necessary create the lost jobs immediately, because the havoc this mallam sanusi has caused the economy is just too much to.
But It is far better for him going now,because we've learned from his modus operandi that he is only digging more deep gullies to fill some small holes.
So it will definitely be from frying pan to fire if he is left. And what annoys me is that he just too arrogant and only sees the economy from one perspective.

I also want to second naijaking1 and thank most especially mikeansy,then papa browne, Beaf, Sapeleguy, Dominioifet, and others who I call the Real economist for their contribution on this matter since from the beginning. You guys are making waves all over the world and when this guy is finally out of office the credit will go to guys.
Its time to act, remove this guy ASAP or let him resign. He is a big failure with so much sentiments.

seing the economy from one perpective ke? which other perpective is there? he injected money into banks that wud have collapded. come to think of it, if they had collapsed, many more innocent people wud have lost hteir jobs

layzie:
Banks are closing branches instead of expanding, staff being laid off, general credit crunch, no money 4 biz men, declining economy, etc,
d question is: did all ds banks just happen to exceed their elastic limit?? At d same tym?? (Mind u ds banks were buildn new branches b4 sls came on board)Would it have happened under soludo ??

emm, like intercontinental that had branches on every street, wonder who they were building monuments for, in the name of job creation. business is business and businesses exist for the shareholders. unless there's government support or benefits for the extra load, hmmm

now let's face raw facts not sentiments. our bankers all ran mad a long time ago even before the consolidation exercise.
some people called bank ceo's took other people's money(deposits)- true or false
some directors where sharing depositors funds to cronies- true / false
some people would have cried in the end when these banks collapsed with their deposits and they're certainly not the rich people in this country- true or false
there was a bubble- margin loans etc- and it bust- true or false
corruption was rife in the nigerian corporate world, it was like a niger delta state- true or false
some banks have recently being publishing the truth in their annual reports, who made them stop the lies?
the nigerian economy has always being bad, i'm not aware of any improvements in the last 10 yrs
people are losing their jobs worldwide, it's not peculiar to bankers, the banks took more wifes than they could maintain, it's that simple. maybe all of us that run businesses should congest our working halls with the aim of reducing unemployment- frank foolishness
judging by the majority of comments on this thread, are nigerians a a group of dumb people?- you can guess the answer

i see no agenda in this actions. even if there is an agenda, if you're caught with your pants down in another man's bedroom with his wife, would you allege that their was an agenda to rape you in their house.
the only way we can change is to actually stop seeing things in north and south and look at the real issues, allegations and aims
evrybody should come clean
that stupid vanguard article was based on the inability to acces loans by a bunch of selfish nigerians. are you aware that most journalists are on some politician's pay? that certainly why they get shot in the end

@labiyemmy:
Excuse me-

In America, people have accidents and die- daily- is that a result of their poor healthcare system?

gbam! on point

Health › Re: Dagrin And The State Of Healthcare In Nigeria by dumodust(m): 5:06pm On Apr 26, 2010

the fire has burnt the pastor, and everybody's asking whether it left his beard(igbo proverb), dagrin is dead, RIP,, it's happened and it's as simple as that. there are injuries that are classified as severe, brain injuries, chest ettc which may not be obvious on the surface by merely looking at the pt. it's a 5-10% chance of surviving in the best centres not considering the complications such as having a human vegetable as left over.

let's quit looking for who to blame, it's all of us that are to blame, including dagrin.

the moment we stop being timid and rise against the devils in this country, that's when well stop dying in vain.

Literature › Re: Writer Or Reader: Who Is To Blame? by dumodust(m): 5:46pm On Apr 25, 2010

Azuka.O:
I think we have not effectively positioned literature as something for cool dudes and babes; it is still seen as something for Acada people.

Our books and writers don't yet exude a certain aura of glamour and excitement.

The reading masses (middle class) have not been given enough reasons (enough bait and value) to see Nigerian literature as something of value to patronize, something they need to read to be seen as cool, modern, and in tune with the times.

Comedy, dancing, DJ-ing, acting, singing have reached that height. When will reading?

i think azuka made the point here but the writers are also to blame. most of them are not moving with the times- the bulk of the of the reading public were not born in the chinua achebe era and currently they identify with existing and western themes more readily.

secondly, nigerians are a people in a hurry. some authors treat writing a book like churning out a nigerian movie- poor editing, poor writing skills, no distinctive style,hoping to just squeeze out a few bucks from us based on nigerian sentiment.
check the nigerian nlng prize for literature- it was a fiasco, no one won the prize.
i', an avid ready, but nigerian novels couldn't grasp my attention. they ramble on and on a lot. a lot of western novels also do that.
only the best actually stand out, ask adichie

Literature › Mischief In A Mad House by dumodust(op): 5:35pm On Apr 25, 2010

wrote this when i was in a troublesome cheeky mood grin

.
enjoy if you understand

mischief

Here I am pressing the T.V buttons,
my fingers clacking, numbed, tingling,
my thoughts vacillating, finding meaning
in channels devoid of pictures,
the screen squishing like the raining grains
that caused an avalanche in the distal part
of my engorged putrid belly
with my stomach rumbling like
a 'love me, love me not' topsy turvy.

I continue looking for riddles,
still twiddling knobs that looked
like the big needles that tried
to stitch my skin into pleasure.
Shouts of 'oh jerry, oh jerry'
sweeps by like a gust without a fan,
a picture looms, Berry in bikini,
I stop, I talk to her, inane words,
but she can't hear, she strains,
her right ear pouting
with sugar crusts on her lips
till the huge back of James
the 'double old' seven blots the view
and makes me bang the box,
makes me start to turn
the knobs on the set
like a child playing
with the plastic nipples of silicon breasts,
left behind in the sand
‘cause they couldn't rot with the rest
of a porn star’s casket.

My behind rumbles from my kind,
the angry voice of 300,
Leonidas' mad bunch
whips me into a frenzy,
spurring me on, into hands
of warriors with white flowing robes,
till a Lilliputian spear
impales my right buttock
lifting me to Olympus
where I can shake
the hands of gods
who blink like mere static
from the halo on my head.

if you ask me, i think it's a good start, left me thinking of what you have up your sleeve. is he seeing the future or something else?
the beginning was good but a lot of contradictory statements stacked like that gave it a poetic rather than a narrative feel. i feel that the statements or actions can all be written then in the begining and in the end summarised as 'never done before, but he knew how, '

i agree with the correction above too.

all in all, nice work but as always, it will need more work later

Literature › Re: The Most Profound Nigerian Novel In Recent Times! by dumodust(m): 5:21pm On Mar 21, 2010

Azuka.O:
My most profound Nigerian novel is Waiting for an Angel by Helon Habila. I was shocked that we have such a great writer in Northern Nigeria (No insult meant, but the North has not been producing great writers).

To tell u the truth, that's the ONLY modern Nigerian novel I have read without complaints.

From Chimamanda (Purple Hibiscus and Half of a Yellow Sun) to Kaine Agary (Yellow Yellow) to Sefi Atta (Everything Good Will Come), etc- all Prize Winners - I have felt not too impressed with their inability to keep the writer from going to sleep and the unpardonable grammatical errors in their books - I never saw such bad English in Achebe, Soyinka, Ekwensi, Ola Rotimi, Elechi Amadi, Flora Nwapa, Odia Ofeimun, Ngugi etc.

Imagine Chimamanda, Sefi Atta and Agary not knowing the difference between bride price and dowry, or that "on your lap(s)" is wrong. (Correct thing is 'in your lap - without an 's').

Imagine Chimamanda saying "talkless of" instead of "not to talk of" or "not to mention"

Imagine Agary thinking that "Mammy-water" is an English word instead of mermaid.

Imagine Sefi Atta writing "for you and I" instead of "for you and me." Etc.

But I read Habila without feeling like dropping it, and surprisingly it was free of the trademark indecency that dots many modern Nigerin novels like Half of a Yellow Sun. I counted 16 sexual scenes in Half of a Yellow Sun - among them one fel.la.tio ('Bblow Jjob'), one "dog style". Ppornograpppy was so dripping out of the pages that I hid the book from my teenage cousin in secondary school, who had asked for it

Furthermore, Habila was in control of his grammar like a true writer.

haven't read helon habila but commonsense sells and a thing of beauty cannot hide. haven't even read adichie etc. told myself i wont read anything again till i write mine. anyway, like someone said earlier, adichie etc are acclaimed because theya are themselves and use contemporary nigerian expressions like you aptly brought out. have you read a western 'cowboy' novel before. i believe they dont speak mainstream english. as for the sex scenes, a novel without them is bland because the truth is that sex is all around us, all we avoid is being explicit. to cap it all up, i think a writer should identify with his target crowd especially if he doesn't want to win a nobel prize grin
