₦airaland Forum

Another reason why proper moderation is needed around here.

Sh.it thread, sh.it contribution from the same shi.t head individuals, always dragging down the quality of discussions around here. On other forum, people like the OP et al won't be allowed to post. Fact.

Whats your internet connection speed?  

Oh please, I am on one of the fastest [besides virgin 50megs] in the UK! 18megs from Be. What is yours?

I think the lagg is down to Konami's stupidity.  I mean, people with 2megs can play shooting game with 16players without lagg what so ever. Blame Konami for the problem on Pro.

whitelexi:

jay bee:

You wan kill the atmosphere? lol What about naija drafts?lol Just kidding. No there isnt a snooker from what I saw the last time I was there.

Can we talk about ps3?

Those of us playing pro evo, can we know what team some of us like to use etc?

I like Chelsea. There set up goes well with my style of playing.

On the other hand, do we have an uptodate ps3 coming to the event? I.e are the team up to date with third party patches that allows real names and kits?

debosky:
On a serious note, can we all calm down? It's Friday - go to the gym, go and pray, go partying or get drunk - anything that will get rid of all this aggro.

Oga if only you see my face right now. I look like a guy who just had an orgasm! I am **that** calm.

Lol at replies. Keep it up guys. In the interest of all. I suppose ignoring some of the posts would be the ideal thing to do for now.  

I suggest you guys should carry on and pardon me for derailing the thread.

**Puts thread back on topic**

Erm. . . . Who is flirting with who again? Who is pairing with who again? Nice.

Pataki:
Bloody hell! You still have the gumption to type further balderdash. Dude, what is your problem? You are beginning to reek of as pants to me. Ladies tell you things in confidentiality about what they feel of some dudes here because of the meet-up?

34 pages of fantasies, are you this straight faced in life? You suck and you suck bigtime! Take that as the hard truth. What a heap of applesauce.

Haaa. Never mind. I really don't expect my view to go down well.

Carry on. I'm sure the Ladies are digging you and the gang.

Yeah I suck for asking a bit of common sense, Awesome.

tkb417:
duh!
First off, all posts here are nothin but fantasies. You takin them seriously begs a lotta questions
who u be? speak for urself alone. I can bet the women know who to 'touch' and whom to run from
wait for dem to voice out thier disapprovals abeg.

34 pages of fantasies? Yeah, you are right. **tries not to roll eyes**

Who I am is of no importance, other than I see no need to play such "games".

Trust me, a few have. But I ain't the type to break confidentiality.

Seeing that Pataki is against manly sports and activities, I wonder if he would be interested in the next meet up as Group banging and swinging?

On a more serious note, aint you fellas tired of "oh am pairing up with this" "oh am gonna flirt with her". . . I mean this ladies may not even be digging some of you fellas to be honest. I ain't no woman, but already, I can see a few boys here that I won't touch with a barge pole.

Payments confirmed from a few people. Keep it up.

Nice. All systems are go.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT EMAIL CONTENTS ARE OFF LIMITS TO THE FORUM.

THANKS.

Oga point taken.

^^See your point and point taken.

Sky Blue:
Read the article and I am yet to see what the problem is. How is interfering with advanced payments intefering with setting price? Price interferance is fixing prices of rent, which was not at all metnioned in the article. What was however mentioned was stopping the act of landlords asking for years in payment of rent upfront, it is basically regulating on such a henious act that gave landlord so much power to prey on the innocent. So how does supply and demand factor into such an act which is nothing short of bullying? Supply and demand affects prices or rents, if landlords want to put up their rent nothing is stopping them. Good move and about time too. It would put some power in the hands of ordinary citizens.

I see your point. The ultimate problem that would happened in my opinion are what I already raised. Landlord can ask what they want, it is their property and as such can do and undo. Fashola stepping in amounts to some form of control.

Again I cited forces of demand and supply. Landlord can charge what they want, however are people willing to pay for it?

Same idiot derailing the thread in my opinion.

walata44:
Capitalist economy must also be regulated.It can not be free for all.

Agreed. Fashola's attempt is crude at the very best. He is literally telling house owners what they can charge and what they cant. I mean, that is just wrong. I mean, where does it stop?

vanitty:
@Elrazur

The laws of Demand and Supply are less pertinent in this case because alternatives are perpetually in short supply.

Thanks. Hence why I suggested affordable housing, Just a thought.

PS
Govt. interference in a capitalist economy is really frowned upon, that is what fashola's move amounts to in my opinion.

Gbawe:
Thats why I said "almost criminal" . Don't you think it highly unethical at best and almost criminal at worst for Landord to collect 3 years rent in advance in one of the poorest nations on Earth ? Opting to rent elsewhere is really not so simple considering that rent collected years in advance is the norm and not the exception in Nigeria. So , in effect, poor Nigerians are held to ransom to the extent that they must borrow from relatives to pay their rent !!!  From an ethical point of view , the practice should stop.

Yeah I see what you mean. You see that is precisely the problem, you cannot criminalise something simply because he/his advisor's feel it is unethical. It is a capitalist economy Nigeria is operating as such, perhaps Fashola is out of his depths? I really do not see how people are held to ransom to be honest. Consumers would only pay for what a product is worth. Hence why I made the original statement of the forces of demand and supply.

As a side point, speaking of ethics in somewhere like Nigeria is laughable to some.

Fashola's approach is correct i.e stop the odious practice and strenghten the ability of landlords to quickly evict non paying tenant who may want to exploit how they are now allowed to pay rent monthly or quarterly.

If he start controlling the market in what is supposedly a free market. . . I think you would find that it is highly improbable, if not impossible.

Difficult but ultimately achievable. Initially the practice will remain popular through underground mutual patronage between desperate tenants and unscrupulous landlords. In the end , and with the laws applied efficiently to punish errant Landlords , tenants will eventually learn to only patronise law-abidding Landlords.

For the sake of this debate, how do you think this would be enforceable? A similar example is Fox hunting in the UK, despite the fact that there is a ban, it still goes on and police have admit they are finding it hard to enforce the law. They cannot follow every fox hunt etc. I think this case may be similar if it ever becomes law.

I am not against affordable housing. I just think it is required alongside ( and not instead of ) this  measure Fashola is enacting into law to alleviate the housing woes of Lagosians. The housing problems of Lagos will require multiple solutions and not one solution at the expense of another.

Again I see your point. I originally said "Instead of" as I really do not see how he can pull this one off.

jimmysho:
even if it is an open forum, caution and decency has to be the order of the day!

Refer back to my previous post.

why are u fast to tag person(s) criminal or illegal?

Objective interviews from UK journalist on them made me conclude they are. The fact they are operating an illegal group, waging a war against the state, kidnapping etc are all hallmarks of "Criminal element" so labelling them as such is more or less hitting the nail on the head.

i do not by any means support criminality which kidnapping is one.

Good we can at least agree partly. That action alone makes them a criminal and like I said above, I feel am correct labelling them as one.

thank God u see sense in their course but approach is what you do not come to terms with. fine, that is a good start. don't you think the issue of extortion could be a propaganda against them by the federal troops and indeed the nigeria govt you ve issues with?

There isn't any propaganda against them when they actively kidnap innocent people.

it sadden me when you wrote that the  troop that was commission by the FG to carry out "genocide" should be given medal. Hmmmm,  What a wasted Medal to the undeserving aggressors

Let us debate free of emotions shall we? I think by the very definition of Genocide, your usage above is highly inaccurate. JTF are after MEND, they are not systematically killing innocent people or a particular tribe/ethnic on purpose. Innocent people do die during things like these, the fact is we cannot afford to sit and let those with misguided justice ruin it for the rest of us.

I am highly critical of Nigeria's current government on some issues, however on this occasion they are doing a good job. Hence why I am asking for recognition of those who have risked their lives to fight MEND.
