Travel / LLC (lets Chop Company) Toll Is A Death Trap! Haba Bros Fashola! by folababa: 12:45am On Jul 11, 2012
Was driving home very late yesterday and witnessed this accident. Who the H**L constructed this toll? It's either the oyinbo man no get sense and the black man na mumu, that sharp curve at the soon-to-be-collecting toll after chevron is horrible! The car climbed the sharp u-turn curb and somersaulted many times . This is bound to happen to anyone who's not conversant with the road. So sad. Fortunately no one was hurt. Haba bros Fashola, una day collect 300 naira everyday, i no hear ween ween, no emergency services nothing, for almost 20 mins way i stand there! SMH!

Webmasters / Re: GTB Mastercard Rejected By Domain Name Registrar by folababa: 11:10am On Jun 07, 2012
those cards are region based cards. the online billing platform is able to detect that from the first 4 numbers of the card. Mastercard for the Nigerian zone require an extra security layer called securecode. Their billing software may not be able to process it beyond those steps. Moreso, they may not be taking orders from nigeria, as it may not be your card that has that prob or you just did not enter your details well. Namecheap has a record of allowing nigerian domains, and canceling 2 yrs into the contract. They cancelled all my domains at some point. same goes to godaddy. They may have stopped it though. I really don't understand why you want to use those crazy domain name providers, don't be fooled by the cheap, there are a million others that won't give you this stress and are safe as well. You can google that. I have also realized that the gtbank naira card, doesn't work everywhere, think about opening a dollar account with them, request for a dollar card, and use this for your online transacs. it works everywhere. Try http://www.hostingzoom.com/domain.php, they are based in Texas and i've been using them for 7 yrs or maddogdomain.com its a reseller of wildwest domains but you might have to call them over the phone to finalize your other.
Car Talk / Re: How Reliable Are Volvo Cars? by folababa: 6:55am On Apr 28, 2012
i drive a XC90, and its the most reliable SUV i have driven in a long time. Its very fuel efficient too. Some of the new parts are available, otherwise i just order them online and get it here in 10 days. They do not like potholes as earlier mentions as the joints and stab linkages fail easily. asides that, the interior is superior to a lot of other Mid-sized SUV. I love it .
Nairaland / General / Its Evident Gtb Keeps Part Of This Subsidy Loot! by folababa: 8:40am On Jan 10, 2012
If GTB is not sympathetic with this subsidy cause, by telling their branches should resume shows how insensitive she is. They seem to forget they are still part of this "Private Sector". When they should be giving out water and muffins in Ojota. Its evident GTB keeps part of this Subsidy Loot! Mscheew!
Business / Re: Gtbank Internet Banking Is The Worst In Internet Banking History! Kilode! by folababa: 7:26pm On Aug 01, 2011
@mkmyers45 why must i use google chrome because i have to use gtb internet banking. the session time is just too small. its the same across all browsers, and if google chrome is the recommended browser, they should state that on their website. i have used safari, IE firefox, same thing. Please everyone should stop pushing this security thingy? i want service. put a disclaimer there that reads "IF YOU LIKE DONT LOGOUT IN A CYBERCAFE, WE ARE NOT TO BLAME". Doing internet banking in a typical nigeria cafe is like telling someone to help you punch in your pin at a local ATM!
Business / Re: Gtbank Internet Banking Is The Worst In Internet Banking History! Kilode! by folababa: 3:18pm On Aug 01, 2011
every online transaction ends within a time frame (including email), but their excuse to give 15 secs for session time is ridiculous (if that is the case). Sometimes in my bid to hurry, i end up sending money into other accounts. sometimes you login and you try to do a transaction, it immediately logs you out. what kinda security are we talking about here, the platform allows only personal transactions and other third party transactions are done with a token. haba! i use internet banking with other banks, they have security too and its not this bad. the whole idea of using technology is to further ease the way we transact, not complicate it.

but like many nigerians we just sit back and look. they should fix it OOOOOO!!! because banks are not beneficial in anyway beyond being just conduits!
Business / Re: Gtbank Internet Banking Is The Worst In Internet Banking History! Kilode! by folababa: 2:07pm On Aug 01, 2011
i mean the service was good for a time. Its not browser related. i have heard the same complaint from numeorus users. i have a lot of accouns with GTB. They are a good bank. I guess you need to understand how frustrated one can feel when a good service goes bad, lol, like all these ISPs we have around. in terms of session handling @holahabib, GTBank is not the first bank to do internet banking. Besides, there are a few things you can do online without a token, they just need to fix this. the same goes for mobile banking etc, session or whatever they are using is just horrible. it was never like this.
Business / Gtbank Internet Banking Is The Worst In Internet Banking History! Kilode! by folababa: 11:31am On Aug 01, 2011
I can just do any thing, that system keeps logging you out. is it my computer or what? this is freaking unbearable. I do a lot of internet banking, this service has gone from good to bad to worse. Is it just me??

Politics / A Word With General Stubbornovich Obbartov. by folababa: 7:14pm On May 19, 2006
Dear General Obbartov,
I remember with mixed feelings the audience you granted me during your last visit to France where I now fully reside. Mixed feelings because on the one hand, It was a privilege that in spite of your state engagements, you could meet with me in private just hours after you had been informed that I am a Nigerian professor of Political Economy in the leading university here in Paris. On the other hand, one was struck by the avuncular condescension with which the audience was granted and by the sheer I-know-it-all airs that permeated your views, especially those on economics, debt forgiveness, world business and the dynamics of globalisation.

These feelings notwithstanding, I deeply appreciate the candour we brought to bear on our 'talks', so to say; and our agreement to reopen them as the need to do so arises. It is in honour and furtherance of this, general, that I now write you, convinced that being a blunt man yourself, you would not be surprised - though you are free to have your ego bruised - by the issues and views here canvassed.
Before plunging into these issues, let 'me explain why your name has been somewhat changed as reflected in the way I addressed your good self above. I was recently in Moscow for ,an academic seminar on the 'theme, " Mrican Politics in a Changing World Order." As soon as my Russian hosts learnt that I am a Nigerian, they animatedly referred to me as the professor from General Stubbornovich Obbartov's (OBJ) country. Before I could ask questions, they said they admire you a lot, for you are very much an earthily profound Russian, even if not by nationality. From the many, many things they said in praise of you, it sounded as if the average, Russian, democracy or no, still loves

Czarist absolutism, high-handedness and robust obstinacy, all attributes they saw you personifying. Besides the fact that the name sounds exotic, I suspect that I have chosen to use it perhaps because I want to show, with a tinge of vanity, that I have also been much around the globe though not as much as may be . suggested by the 380 days, according to Chief Ganl Fawehlnmi, you have spent outside Nigeria in less than seven years.
Now to the issues, the only reason for this letter. A second thought about our discussion which I referred to above burdens me with a deep concern for the character of leadership you are foisting on our country. Maybe because of my French experience, whenever I think about you, I necessarily think of General Charles de Gaulle, the charismatic and intensely nationalistic World War II hero and president of France till 1969. In your different eras and paths in life, I see interesting parallels. One of thes_ is your common credential as generals who fought for the survival and oneness of their countries and who later went on to become presidents. 'The late De Gaulle was the modern monarch the French never

had. He was, in the supremacist sketches drawn of him by the perceptive Henry Kissinger, America's former secretary of state, the centre of the universe in any room or hall in which he was present. If he should as much as tilt his head one or the other di_ection, he seemed to execute such simple chore with so much a force of presence that the hall could, in turn, tilt so powerfully as to throw his audience out the window onto the garden.
De Gaulle seemed to have wielded power in a manner that assuredly re-echoed Louis XIV, a monarch of pre-revolutionary France who saw himself as the state and the state his good, powerful self. That is why the French general and president could see politics as not befitting politicians but only generals, the likes of his omnipotent self. My dear General Obbartov, even In this parallel, you are much like your late French colleague. That is why you brazenly want to doctor the constitution at all cost to enable you FUn court a La Louis XIV.
Though there are more similarities between you and the French general, he was, In the end, a different man - and surely a better ruler than you. When he was defeated in a referendum over senate and regional reforms, he voluntarily quit office in 1969. De Gaulle could have the humility and common sense
, to do what he did because he was basically a realist. He would say in
1951, after his party, the largest In France, failed to win a majority: "How can you govern a country which produces 246 different kinds of cheese?" the people whose complexity could awe even an intrepid general of De Gaulle's status can be appreciated in another dimension. In France, on good authority, there are 685 different ways of using eggs!
And what about our Nigeria? According to your'Federal Ministry of Information, there are some 370 tongues and tribes. In such a setting, there should be at least over 1,000 items that may make the dining table. And, of course, some 140 million
ways and propositions on how to provide for that table! But you
mistake the huge external reserves, debt forgiveness and the consequent enrichment of the state for popularity. In a way that is strange but painful, you fail to understand the cultural polyglot that Nigeria is and the people's great yearning for democracy and
have, instead, created for yourself sad paradoxes by which you are inordinately driven. You voluntarily handed over power to civilians decades ago only for you now to desire to rule for ever. You have a stupendously wealthy state and a pauperised citizenry with no hopes. You fight prodigiously against corruption only to
have it promoted as Ii state instrument for sustaining power and leadership. You preside over a democracy in which !he stat_ ,Ili gracious enough to rig elections on behalf of the people, enduillg them with so rare a privilege.
Now, general, beyond your mentor, De Gaulle, I know why they like you so much in Moscow. If you don't mind this missive, then
I will write again. Surely. For now, bye, your excellency.
Very sincerely,
Olusegun Abubakar.
