The $2bn was from the excess crude oil account and was disbursed to the FG and states accounts to ensure funding of capital projects and avoid recession. CBN did not 'spend', money.

Ok, but what was the impact? Any impact assessment report? I'm not sure I can pinpoint any particular effect other than the worsening fuel crisis which is directly making life difficult in all areas for everyone.

Who knows? If the f*ker is still alive, then justice aint been served

Shiver me timbers!!! You guys rock. How soon can we have another of them Biafra/Ojukwu threads? I look forward to them. . . I learn so much history & new words. Me eyes are bleary from reading, but you guys rock! Keep it up folks.

You couldn't have said it better o. . . That alone is an impeachable offence. The pilots & crew better enjoy Saudi well & pray Yar'adua comes out of this alive if not something can conviniently happen to all the money that's suppossedly theirs

Good Riddance to bad rubbish!!!

Good Job jare Goodluck. . . That does not mean I'll take an offer with a "Goodluck" as an assistant.

Heard the unfortunate users of Zain have been held at the companie's mercy for over 24 hours now. Lawd hammercy. Who can complaints be made to? If tru it is totally unacceptable

For where? Add ke?
My dad has invited for over a year now but I've tactically avoided accepting.

Thanks man.

Jenju hi.

Could you please help check the details of a 2003 Santa Fe with VIN KM8SC73D23U342307?

I’d appreciate the car’s maintenance history too.

Thank you so much.

_{[s]Monitor_1 said she'd talked to you about this. . .[/s]}

Hi Monitor 1.

Could you please check details for a Santa Fe with VIN KM8SC73D23U342307?

If there's any info on the maintenance history could you please include that too?

Thank you so much!

You are so right. I'm sure they don't need a Daniel to interprete the handwriting on the wall this time around.

Afam:
Onwan may be too harsh with his choice of words but I agree with him in principle that graduates should do more than look for white collar jobs in an economy where almost every single problem is an opportunity to offer a solution and make money doing so.

Many (if not all) of the disengaged bankers were paid off but they seem to be silent on that part making it seem like they were fired or sacked and that is part of the insincerity of the average Nigerian.

If the main hope of graduates to survive is to work in banks or oil companies then Nigeria will be worse in no time.

All the rich men and women in the world today make money by providing solutions to problems and if we are really sure of our education then we can do same.

This is not about being lucky. It is about a choice, a choice that remains 100% open till tomorrow.

Back to the topic,

Sanusi has done well and well meaning Nigerians know that. The intervention is in order and should be supported.

I'm not so sure about that. From what i heard, only First Bank treated their staff well. Oceanic paid pittance and I dont think Intercontinental, Wema, Diamond et al did pay anything meaningful. For the newbies, they live to fight another day, but for the old hands. . . What a pity.

True that, if the main hope of all graduates is to do banks and oil companies, that is doom, but what of all the other fields? Academics, IT, Consultancy, farming, etc.

Now you'll agree with me that a good %age of the all the aforementioned fields are salary based. There has to be a starting point, esp for those of us that came from humble backgrounds. Onwan just needs to get this to his head. Not everyone can be an employer. There will always be employers and employees, and the fact that some people are employees of an unfortunate organisation caught up in this mess called Nigerian politics does not make them any less wise than we are. We are lucky (opportunity + preparedness), and we only hope that next wave of unpredictable government policies (that are always against the masses that they are meant to serve) are not against our businesses.

And here's someone living in a "Winners domain". . . Onwan!

Effing Proud and cocky self made entity.

We all have our employees. Still we don't rejoice nor castigate when our colleagues lose their jobs.
But to this wise man on our blog, they are fools for choosing to work in some places.

Nonsense.

Now the employer employee thing is just one part you chose outta all I talked about. Now I see you talking trash about your definition of self pity and all. If not for your blinded hate, you shoulda seen that all I said was "Thou shalt not gloat over the downfall of your fellow Nigerian"

Do you know the aftermath of the 'sack' thing? Lemme tell you a lil. A vey good number of them would be back in banks and other reputable organisations in the next 1 year. The ones who have good money and good acumen wont go back. This is not the first time it has happened and mos def aint going to be the last.

Not every one can be self established. There has to be a balance. If everyone was established, who would you employ as your staff? There is a time for everything. If you go into business when u are supposed to, beautiful! If not, you'd wish you never did.

Get your facts right. I am never and will never be an advocate of self pity, so if u please (or not. . . who cares?) SHUT THE FCK UP
1-1!  

Onwan:
@Freezy
I dont have "chiks" - Im responsibly married with kids and businesses (Part of them being providing third-party network solution to banks)

Good. You've got kids, the more reason I expect some milk of human kindness from u. Get one thing right, Salary earners are not the only ones who go down. Private peeps go down too. . . By no fault of theirs a lot of times! A simple policy change can render an organisation useless. How'd u feel if a sudden upgrade (or downgrade) renders your services obsolete (Just like the Iraqi govt did not allow Internet providers sell their services for a while). IT is good, but someone in Customer Service consulting would rubbish your work if given an opportunity.

What am I driving at? Calling a spade a spade, people have lost their means of livelihood. This is not the time to gloat. Those of us lucky to have a means of income should be greatful to God, help and have pity on them.

Onwan:
Its still hard to believe that A SlowPoke will spend years in a university to pin his or her life on a particular job; let alone a "Bank job".

The annoying thing is when you take someone who read like Computer Engineering for instance; He leaves school and straight for a bank and the next thing he spends 6 years sitting in one chair and table - IF his mouse gets faulty he calls Pallette to fix it, if his notebook or PC doesnt boot he calls Computer warehouse, If his internet connectivity is faulty, he calls 21st century - Now after 6 years he only bloats up like a pig and drives one of those silly toys ( ON FINANCING of course) - Now he is sacked and he cant even get himself to fit in; his mates after all those years have invested so much in themselves and are able to sell specialized IT services to establishments including banks. The only thing in his head is Phoenix - "Im a Banker"

I think people should stop feeling pity for this guys and ask them to get a life!

Hate it or love it BUT its the truth, get a life or bleep off.

You are the one who needs to get a life! Has any of them ever snatched ur chic? Why do u hate them so much? Hello, how many banks buy these so called home made specialized IT systems in the first place? These guys lost their jobs because their employers misbehaved and all you can do is rant. . . Jeez! You are pathetic. For each person sacked, do u know how many Nigerians are affected? Some of your statements were outrightly callous. I suggest you go thru your post again. . . Slowly this time. Jeez! Such outbursts!

Sanusi, Sanusi, Sanusi.

Mos def the most controversial name in Nigeria in the year 2009.

HE without sin let him cast the first stone. First bank made God knows how many billions provisioning for bad loans. They were given out during Sanusi's regime as CEO. Meaning if the same yardstick were to be used, Sanusi ought not to be CBN Gov in the first place.

That aside,  let me also bring it to your notice that the over 200bn recovered till date have not been given back to the banks but has been kept in the custody of a popular Abuja lawyer. Pray, what are the funds meant to be for the smooth operations of these institutions doing in a solicitor's custody? If they had been returned, those bank guys would probably have more funds to operate.

Bottom line is, Everything in Nigeria has an undertone. The President has been out of office for 35 days (and counting) yet some loud mouthed idiots say all is well. . .  Andoakaa has decided that he alone understands the Nigerian Constitution and can interprete it, even concerning the swearing in of top Judiciary posts. . .  I shake my head in pity for my country and all I can do for now is . . .  How did Fela put it? Yes, all I can do is to Looku and Laafu

Singular:
is it not PM News? ? A source said this. a source said that. which source??
Rubbish. I guess they have no more stories of 'man eats baby' or 'goat marries fish'.
PM News is bullcrap

You just spoke my mind. PM News is crap. Believe them, believe anything.

Bro,


Good to hear that everything is working fine in Ghana. That is splendid news. We even acknowledge that as Nigerians and hope to emulate you in many ways


Companies moving to Ghana , Good news
Power Supply everyday, Good news
Oil discovery, Good news


But what baffles me is the insecurity of most Ghanaians. While acknowledging that you are leading, focus on striving forward rather than ALWAYS comparing yourselves with Nigeria.

Nigeria is at it lowest now, but when/if we get it right we will move at the speed of our bottled potential.


Charlie congrats


A proud Nigerian

You just made my day.
When I see we have people like you left in Nigeria, my hope is renewed.

Ahem

There are different types math.

Applied Math

Pure Math
and the list goes on.

I think that it depends on the type of Math that you are comparing Law to.

You took that outta my mouth. There are different types of Math.
The more you see, the tougher it gets.

Not really.

Lets say I was hoping that for once, these guys 'll stick to their words.

Errr. . . I'm not sure this needs any proper reference. Filling stations in Lagos are no go areas now. reports getting to me say ditto for Oyo state. Looks like we are back to the days we herald the year's end with agonizing battles at the filling stations. God help our beloved Nigeria and us inhabitants.

Dear Bode,

Do not be surprised that I am writing this letter to you in your fist name. The last letter I wrote to you was when you were the Chairman of the Nigerian Ports Authority, and I addressed you as Chief, Commodore, Sir, All in All Olabode George. At that time I needed your help to help 'release' my goods somewhere. But now times have changed. You have lost the respect.

Bode, am not surprised at your present predicament. You and I know you are a thief, but we both have been praying one day you will repent of your 'thiefing' ways. You and I know your stealing did not start at the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA). No. It has history. It started when you were at Ijebu-Ode Grammar School, 1960 -1964. You were stealing from other students, but everybody thought, by the time you were matured enough you will outgrow it. No. You were stealing gari , sugar, kuli kuli etc. On so many occasions you were reported to your seniors but they couldn't do anything as you always share the gari and kuli kuli with them.

You managed your way through the Royal Naval Engineering College without any suspension or expulsion. You were commissioned. And in your first posting, as Director of Weapons at the Naval Headquarters in 1987 you were adding a few extra naira and kobo to every contract/tender than graced your table. You went to the prestigeous Command and Staff College in Jaji and you cheated during examination and you are caught but used your high powered connection to escape the henious crime. You were not confident at all, then. Once you put the extra naira and kobo on contract and commit your various crime, I remember you always go back home praying hard so you won't be detected. You were never caught. So gradually your confidence rose. And more so, as your boss at that time approved of your 'stealing' and shared some loots with you.

It was this misfortune of your confidence that we were bestowed with in Ondo State in your first major military (political) assignment in 1987. You have now grown from the small boy that was stealing kuli kuli from fellow students to a care-less military administrator. And boy you stole the state blind. And even boasting that the 'Lagos Boy' had come to teach us 'ara oke' some lessons. Not only did you steal with 'no respect', you turned 'small girls' of Ikere College of Education to tin gods by your association with them. You only needed to send government cars to Ikere and all the girls will be falling over themselves to get into the cars to journey to Akure to 'please' you, By the time they come back to the campus they were ready to slap their provost, because they have tasted of your 'wealth and power'.

The obedient people of Ondo State (of which Ekiti was part) could do nothing. Corruption was rife all over the country, so putting your hand in the state till was not at all surprising. But the scale you were doing this and with so much impunity was what enraged the people. We all kept quiet and pray that the omnipresent God will catch up with you one day, very soon.

You were 'shooed' out of the Navy. And immediately you found a 'space' in the top hierarchy of PDP, when Abubakar midwifed democracy third time around. No thanks to the money you stole from our dear Ondo State that you threw around to impress the leaders of the party. All the rest is history.

Bode, you got the post of chairman of NPA, not on merit, but compensation for your effort in ensuring your party's good showing in OODUA states. But God knew in His infinite Wisdom that the NPA job will be your final undoing because He knows how greedy you are. And greed leads to destruction. You did not disappoint anybody on the scale of your greed. You handpicked your collaborators and you started your stealing spree. Sold most of NPA properties and inflated contracts. And with all these you were still going about collecting 'dues' from your party governors in Ekiti, Oyo, Ogun, Ondo and Osun States. You have no shame, at all.

You became the toast of all ladies in the Lagos and Abuja social circuits. Your 'hat' became a symbol of riches, affluence and power, But God was only distinguishing you for a big shame that He wanted to bring on you. Because in you He saw an individual who had no love of his fellowmen at heart. A man with so much appetite for stealing.

Bode, you are a disgrace to your family, wives, ex-girlfriends, and children. You are not a disgrace to your colleagues in your party or other parties. You are one out of many of them who are draining our country dry. You are one of the big guns who parade our cities, oppressing the common men, with the money they stole. There are so many like you in all the facets of the Nigerian polity, economy etc. But it is said in our adage, eniti ile mo ba ni ole (it is the one that is caught that is a thief).

How many of our so called leaders can account for their wealth? How many of them have not dipped their hands in the public till? So many have abused their offices, stole billions and turned themselves to political gods. But we still celebrate them. Very soon, if they do not come before Justice Oyewole, they are all answerable to God Almighty.

Bode, I know you are very happy at the judgement of Justice Oyewole. I saw a smile on your face when he delivered the judgement. A mere 30 months and you are back at your old self. You are lucky. You remember the sentences handed over to the Ambrose Alis, Mbakwes, Barkin Zuwos etc in the 80s. Some had 100 years for stealing just a fraction of what you stole.

But Bode, see beyond the number of years and ask for atonement of all your sins. Your children, wives and relations will carry your shame all their years. You are more like Oyenusi of the old. Nobody, to my knowledge, bears that name anymore. Your children are lucky, yours is an English name. But from now henceforth, people will ask them, which of the Georges are you? The shameless thief or the other George?

I shall end this here, as I am beginning to realise you are hard to convince. In all these, you still nurture the thoughts that you were set up because you are a top notch of PDP? Ah! You are a dunce.

And above all an OGBOLOGBO OLE .

Ole, Wobia, Alajeju, Agba Iya.

I pray God will forgive you, for what you indirectly made to happen to my goods (and other struggling Nigerians') at NPA some years back.
See you after 30 months.
Greet all the Ogbologbos in Kirikiri.

What do you know? It depends on the concentrations and the state of the fake ingredients. For e.g., 10 ppm of reduced lead can kill you instantly. Do you know what the fake soap contains? Do you know if there is lead, arsenite, ricin, etc in there? These are very lethal substances that act at micro amounts. I am talking from experience as an environmental chemist. OK!

Plus, the soap will definitely be cheap so each buyer will certainly purchase many at the same time. Do the math.

The  fact that it was called fake soap does not mean it contains those heavy metals, bros. More often than not, Materials are called fake when the concentrations are not up to standard. Simple saponification of fats results in soap. Saponification is also used to reduce the toxic effects of heavy metals.

So if water is used to put out fire, how can you decide to fuel the fire by pouring water?

agathamari:
so now nigerians will be paying about the same price for gas as the us $2.90 a gallon is about N112

agathamari:
your right you guys use only 93 octain i was basing my conversion regular 89 octain so really i should have used $3.25 per gallon not $2.90

Even at that, there is still no basis for comparison. The quality of living there is much better than in Naija. There are alternatives. . .

One last thing. . . You might want to ask the UN for info on the daily income for the average American and average Nigerian

Just saw this tread and all I can say is "Wow!"

I really was hoping by the time I get to the end of the thread, u guys'd be back together.

Something tells me you guys'll get back together. . . and for once, I really hope the prohet in me is right
You sound like a nice person, but everything happens for a purpose. Don't give up. Don't put too much pressure either. You've done enough of that. Jus' keep your head up, fingers crossed and I'm sure u guys will be back together soon.

One last thing send me a PM when u gyus are back together (its on my profile). Will app'ciate that.

All the best gurlie.
