Dude but nairaland is not a century old

kafanchan:
Is that the function of a CBN governor? That aside, I think Nigerian of the year should be somebody that did something that impacted positively in the life of Nigerians, not somebody that gained cheap popularity by telling us what we already know (even decieved us by inflating the percentage).

Beaf:
Tell me under whose govt you felt this so called "clear vision /direction and an agenda."

1. Babangida
2. Abacha
3. Obasanjo
4. Yar Adua

People just seem to be making up standards as they go along, but I feel it is only because this govt is the very first under which practical standards can begin to be discussed and that bewilders the average Nigerian who is more used to being beaten and spat on, who is also used to climbing over his next door neighbour and stamping his own kids underfoot in a vain bid to get a few drops of fuel. Times have changed, thanks to GEJ and there is more to come.

Sky Blue:
Dude I have simply decided I will not bother with you anymore. Perhaps the fact that you feel the need to use Babangida, Abacha, Obasanjo and YarAdua as benchmarks for comparison says it all. You sound like a wife who has been so battered by her husband she doesn't know any better and hence sees it as normal. I make no apologies for having reasonable expectations, especially from a leader who came in the way Jonathan did, no forseeable godfather to please, etc. Please just ignore my posts from now on because I won't bother. It is not that we might have differing views, but more about the fact that you are only in it to "win" arguments in such pettishly childish ways (rather than actually having sincere and objective discussions where ever Jonathan is concerned - something I find disingenuous and irritating; definately not above the standards set by those on the forum who seem to dislike him based solely on his ethnicity (won't name names)). Have a nice day

silami:
Na wao even Nairaland dey do politics on which topic appears on the fron page. this topic was briefly on the front page and now removed.

Bawss1:
Off topic but still I keep wondering where this ''threatened to nationalize MTN theory'' came from. How is this remotely possible? Nationalize a a private company?! Where has this been done before? How come if such an absurdity is feasible they never threatened to nationalize Shell or Chevron?


It is amazing; the human penchant for exaggeration.

Jarus:
Muhsin & Chakula have confirmed their inevitable unavailability. So I'm not sure the Kano edition can hold again.

How far with the Abuja brothers?

becomrich;:
I am 100% sure the commonwealth would accept an application for the north without kwara, kogi and benue(16 states) to be a country. I dont want to tell you why. I am 100% sure. The north was a country before 1914. I am 100% sure .

The commonwealth has 54 countries. while the OIC has  56 Islamic countries. If you had add 54 + 56. You get 110 countries that would accept the north as a country. We have to look for ways to fund it, share revenue.

Dis Guy:
this is what i have been saying all these Hausa/Mallams should be vetted properly before entering the senate or natuional assemble can you imagine, one useless mai goro trying to nominate yaradua for nobel prize and many of these cattle hersers actually supported him?!?!?!

ViVa southern nigerians

The motion was supported by the senators.

Among them were Grace Bent (PDP, Adamawa South), Victor Ndoma-Egba (PDP, Cross River Central), Nkechi Nwaogu (PDP, Abia Central), Joseph Akargerger (PDP, Benue), Uche Chukwumerije (PPA, Abia North), Tanko Ayuba (PDP, Kebbi), Nicholas Ugbane (PDP, Kogi Eas[/b]t)and Eme Ufot-Ekaette (PDP, [b]Akwa Ibom South).

july 9th any one?

i am going to agree with bobby16

asians are not the smartest people. i am currently studying for a masters in international business and my class is as multi-cultural as they come (u can find someone from every continet in that class) and the smartest person is a kenyan, by a mile.

there are a bunch of indians and asians in my class but they have never struck me as exceptional in terms of intelligence. and also worthy of note is that we do a lot of group work and in most of them, the groups which is comprised primarily of africans usually emerge as the best.

it felt quite bad when we africans were underrated at the beginning of the course but further into the course, most of the lectureres had a change of heart. i had personally been told by a couple of my lectureres that i was a brilliant student (me that i barely graduated with a 2:2 less than 2 years ago form my school in nigeria).

the nigerian tetiary educational system does not allow for creativity. as a student, you are not encouraged to be creative in your school work, you have to put down what your lecturere has dictated or what is provided in the handouts, plus the presence of corruption makes matters worse. nigerian students are probably the most flexible, academically, they can adjust to any situation.

@ bobby64
concerning what u said about ivy league schools, i had that feeling too. i once asked a friend if the pre-requisite for getting into such schools most at times is your academic ability or your family wealth. because most rich kids go to those schools and those kids don't strike me as smart.
