For the last time, [b]I did not kick him until he twisted my arm[/b]. Do not say anything you please. You can tell me that I nagged too much but if you say that I started abusing him physically and thats why he slapped me, i think you are not educated enough to read through a post properly.
He slapped me cos I nagged him and I did not give in or stop him when he threatened me to leave the house. Its that plain. The moment I said that he can leave the house if he wants to, he slapped me.

But you shook him before he twisted your arm.


The bible tells us that it is better to dwell on a house top that to live with a nagging woman.

I have a Windstar 1999 SE Model, that i will sell to whoever wants it for just 700K . . . if interested, and i will never sell a 99 Sienna for such, not even a[b] CE Model.[/b]Except you are sure you wanna drive the car into the ground, i will never advice to buy a ride with no resale value.

I am right now expecting an XLE 2000 model Sienna from Maryland USA. I was told that XLE means xtra luxury edition (fully loaded), LE is luxury edition. Can someone in the house tell me the meaning of CE and it's implications. Just care to know please.

More Stories on This Section

In what many have seen as another shock treatment package to stakeholders in the banking industry, the Central Bank of Nigeria Friday sacked the management of five commercial banks in the country, citing grave financial and operating conditions as the basis for its action.

The policy decision which was taken pursuant to the powers conferred on the governor by section 33 and 35 of the Banks and Other Financial Institutions Act 1991, as amended was announced at a world press conference in Lagos Friday by the CBN governor, Alhaji Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, in company of his deputy governors
The sack of the five banks was coming barely two months after the exit of Professor Chukwuma Soludo and the confirmation of the appointment of the new governor, by President Umaru Yar’Adua, on June 4, 2009.

Those who had followed the banking industry since the 2005 consolidation programme, saw Professor Soludo’s five-year stint as CBN governor as quite significant in the life of the banking industry in Nigeria for several reasons. They contended that it was during his tenure that the number of institutions were drastically reduced from about 90 to just 25 at the end of the December 2005.

At the same time, the banks’ shareholders funds, branch network, capital base and other parameters were on the upswing, as Nigerian banks were for the first time listed on the ranking of 1000 global financial institutions. It is also believed that the consolidation programme facilitated the global expansion of Nigerian banks to locations in Europe, Asia, Africa and very soon America and the Middle East.
Under him the Central Bank of Nigeria had always said the 22 per cent capital adequacy rating of the nation’s banks was the highest in the world, considering that the Basle 11 standard which is in the neighborhood of 8 per cent.

Most of the banks also won awards within and outside the country, while their rating soared higher.
But the fresh twist to the industry story and the taking over of the banks showed that perhaps it may not have been bubble capital alone that the CBN has been targeting under the present dispensation. In fact, some financial analysts who spoke to Daily Sun on Friday saw a Northern agenda in the Sanusi’s sanitization programme.

They argued that the North is still sulking over the loss of their banks during the Soludo led consolidation exercise in 2005 and are bent on redressing the imbalance.
In announcing the changes last week, Sanusi said new investors would be invited to recapitalized the banks, a statement analysts saw as more an attempt to give money bags from the Northern part of the country, an opportunity to enhance their shareholding position in some of the banks.
Another question being asked in some quarters is the rationale behind the take over of 92 years old Union Bank and Afribank, which undoubtedly are doing better than Unity Bank, considered by many as a Northern bank.

It was gathered that the CBN governor politely refused overtures by some top politicians, traditional rulers and religious leaders who were lobbied by some of the affected banks to intervene on their behalf, insisted that the banks need to be saved from total collapse because innocent people and stake holders have stakes in the institutions.

Last Friday, five out of the 10 institutions so far investigated became the guinea pigs that the authorities have used to show how bad the nation’s banking industry had deteriorated following the high level of exposure and management recklessness.

Having realized that it was not just change of the management that would solve the distress in the industry, the bank said it was injecting about N400billion over the next few months to keep the five banks alive.
The CBN facility is coming in the form of tier 2 capital which will be repaid from the proceeds of recapitalization in the near future , pointing out that the injection would be sufficient to resolve and stabilize all the institutions and enable them continue normal operations.

The CBN boss said the Yar Adua administration has no intention of nationalizing any financial institution.
He said: “our financial system is not strongly integrated into the international financial system as well as the relatively simple nature of financial product and strong capitalization and liquidity of Nigerian banks.
“However, there are many who have been aware for a while now that whereas the system is in general is likely to absorb and survive the effect of the crisis……. A few Nigerian banks mainly due to huge concentrations in their exposure to certain sectors, (capital market and oil and gas being the prominent ones), but due to the general weakness in risk management and corporate governance have remained continued to display signs of failure.”

Sanusi noted that as at October last year, some of the banks showed serious liquidity strain and had to be given financial support by the apex bank through its Expanded Discount Window where it extended credit facilities to banks on the basis of collateral in the form of Commercial Papers and Bankers Acceptances often of doubtful value.

According to him, the Nigerian banking industry as at June 4 when he assumed office as the apex bank helmsman, the total amount outstanding at the Expanded Discount Window was N256.571 billion and most of it was owed by the Five banks on which its sledge hammer fell upon.

Strains of the distress in the banking industry had been noticed under the former CBN Governor. To assist the banks to weather financial storm, the apex bank under Soludo had Expanded its Discount Window to enable the banks and discount houses borrow funds for as long as 360 days as against the overnight arrangement that was in place before. This measure sort of allowed the banks easy access to funds anytime they are in need.

The CBN had also reduced banks liquidity ratio to 30 per cent, from 40 per cent and freed some N1.7 trillion for their use. This enormously improved the liquidity of the banks.
As at the end of September 2008, the total shareholders’ funds of the banks stood at N2.7 trillion as against N293 billion in 2003. Soludo had said that even if the banks were to write off their entire exposures to the capital market, they would still have about N2 trillion shareholders’ funds saying that at this level the banking system would still be two times adequately capitalized.

Figures from the CBN also revealed that banks’ aggregate credit to the economy was in excess of N7 trillion, while their deposit base hit over N9 trillion. Between January and September 2008, about N2.2 trillion new credits were created by the banks.
“With these figures, the banks would still remain strong even if they decide to write off their exposures to the capital market at once,” Soludo had confidently said, noting that the value of the new credits were more than what the government had spent.

With these strong words, the CBN Governor laid to rest the controversy over the state of health of Nigerian banks.
But with the revelations from the new CBN Governor and the actions taken on Friday, the question now is, what has happened to the banking
industry in just these few months?

FamilyRe: Is It Proper For A Woman To Build Her Own House? by essentialB(f): 9:58am On May 18, 2009
Lizzy, your idea is quite good but let your husband be involved in it. And to douse his fears the land and house documents should bear your names ie Mr and Mrs. The house will be very useful for both of you and your husband at old age. It will more or less be ur pension and u may not have to depend entirely on ur children for upkeep.


I dont so much subscribe to the idea of building houses for the benefit of children because it may cause very big disagreement and rancour between them in future. The best you can do for your children is give them the best of education. On that you can open children education account for each of your child. The money will be usefull to them in future. I have an uncle who has been able to save over two million on each of his children's education account. Such accounts yield interest too.

My elder sister opened account for her children in first bank and the bank says that no money can be withdrawn from the account till each of the child is 18 yrs. I know that by the way she is faithfull in saving the money each child will have not less that 5 million in that account at 18 yrs of age.

I must catch him even if she stays in another town. When I love a guy, I do it to a fault and will surely crowd and suffocate him with love, jealosy, attention and cares that he will be afraid of even his own shadows.

If he is flinging around , that's another ball game which is dangerous on it's own because of risk of contracting all manner of diseases.
RomanceRe: How To Know If A Girl Is Cheating? by essentialB(f): 12:35pm On Apr 28, 2009
Number one sign: If my guy does not store my lovely and sexy text messages for a long time in his phone it means he does not want someone else ( his other babe ) to read them. He is always deleting is messages, he has questions to answer.

Number two sign: If he is so much possesive of his phone. While with him in his house he will not keep his phone carelessly but always having it in his hand. I dont always look into my guys phone but if he keeps it near me and a call or text msg comes in, definitely I may take the phone to him and may see who is calling or texting. But when he suddenly decides to be so possessive of the phone, it means something is fishing.


Number three: If my guy is answering a call in my presence and is just picking his words one by one and either excuses me to answer it outside or tells the caller that he will call again, then something is fishing.

Number three: If my guy switches off his phone once in a while while am with him or when am not with him no matter the reason, it calls for concern.

So the few I have written here can also apply to a lady. Whenever a lady does any of the above, she has questions to answer.

The list is not exhaustive but just the few I can write now. My fingers are feeling some pains right now. To be continued later.
