That will be the day

So we need foreigners to clean the mess for us
Let's see if they will escape like DSP Alams

Now that should be a source of worry for the British police.
Alams escaped by dressing as a woman, one never knows what disguise
these one might take.
The police should watch out for any goats around the holding jail,
it might be the bloody thieves in disguise

Is this really true?

Cos I've not heard it from any other source

IMF?!!!

Norring freakin special!

Haba!

You speak my mind

Resource Management first then Resource Control. If not the fight will be on behalf of the elites

Quotable quote. I like that bit.

@post
Before now, Nigerians have been clamoring for a change of guard from the old politicians to younger ones.
To think that Gov Silva embodies the new generation politician gives one the shivers.
His naivety and moronic pride in his "Gloryland Castle" is so so pathetic.

There he was, glorifying "a bit of Roman amphitheater", the Star of David and only God knows what else;
Is there nothing Bayelsan or at least African that could be incorporated in his tourist architectural structure?

No originality, no sense of decorum, befuddled priorities
Ignoramuses at the helms of affairs

Relevant post on a relevant forum.

We need more of these expositions on NL to underscore the fact that FELLOW Nigerians
do crime, and they do get caught.

So if you're into this ignoble act and you're feeling "uncatchable" and on top of the world right now,
then remember every dog has got its day - just like these dawgs

Peter Odili cannot be associated with anything good.

Looting his state treasury, forming cult groups in the garb of militants,
election rigging, taking bad loans etc etc etc; those are his area of specialization

His cup is long full, he should've be in jail long time ago.

I HIGHLY recommend that you all watch the ad again. The ad doesn't claim that ALL nigerians are 419 fraudsters,

It specifically refers to Nigerian 419 fraudsters.

@greenman guy u dnt ve to insult the alfa. pls dnt generalize tins. try to be objective

@3kay945
If you had taken time not only to read my post but to also comprehend it
you would have noticed I referred to "a half literate moronic alfa"

The use of "a" connotes a singular person and that is non other but alfa Mohammed Yusuf, (I hoped you would guess right)
now that is not generalizing.

But if you're here defending that alfa, then I owe you no apologies.

Tall tales.

Al Qaida trained terrorists do not fight with bows, arrows and machetes.

They are far more sophisticated than what was witnessed during the Boko Haram saga:
frenzied mindless idiots driven by the Islam coated rantings of a half-literate moronic alfa.

I just realized now that critics doesn't make good leaders. I expected some unprecedented development in Edo state going by his antecedent as a labour leader. Oshiomhole is a disgrace to the activists. I weep for this country once more!!!!!!!!!!

Seconded.
Critics hardly ever make good leaders.

Nigeria's recent history is replete with many such turncoats; Onogoruwa, Femi et. al

Oshiomole has proven he is only good at oratory and throwing stones at people in govt.
Now we know he is just one of the boys.

Who creates all these nick names sef?

This must be the funniest thread I've seen on NL.
Been laughing so hard people in the next office must be wondering what's wrong with me.

My first toast experience was way back in secondary school:
The most beautiful girl in my school (at least in my eyes) who was in class 5 walked up to me one day and told me straight up she wants to be my friend - and I was in class 3. I was so dumbfounded all I could do was nod in awe   Subsequently, I ensured never to go anywhere our paths might cross. I couldn't for the life of me imagine what she wanted from me. I didn't know what we could possibly have to discuss or share.  I simply hid each time I saw her coming my way. Fortunately for me, it was close to their WAEC exams and she soon forgot I existed

Ibime,

Regardless I think he should be appreciated, He was never in Politics and we saw his business empire. We all know of Glo, Conoil and ETB. Not some untraceable wealth of others.
Despite the persecution during OBJ regime the guy still supported Nigerian Sport.

What of other rich folks like Dangote, Otedola and co?. Adenuga is not obliged to support sports in Nigeria but anyone who does should be appreciated. He paid, Vogts and sponsors the Eagles from time to time.

I will join in celebrating Adenuga's obvious patriotism when it comes to sports in Nigeria .
That is where it ends. Full stop.

What I wouldn't do is to laud him as an exemplary rich man with traceable wealth.
What is his pedigree?
His, seems to me a sudden wealth that rose out of the ashes of IBB's junta,
hence the premise, from some quarters, that he is a front for the dictator.

That might not really be far from the truth.

@topic:
For real? And what happens after spending all that money? back to square one? Undecided

Sure enough.
What did you expect?

You don't sincerely expect this boys dust their certificates and go queue for some office jobs when they run out of cash.

It's gonna be a vicious circle

Though I didn't know her, but I know Baba Suwe.

Pray he has the strength to bear the loss.

They have every reason to paint the town red.
Most of these guys have been faceless and incommunicado for many years.

You can liken them to people just freed from prison.

They have a lot of catching up to do in the "normal" society, like:
Guzzling beer in real beer parlours as opposed to drinking in their camp shanties.
Freely choosing girls to "partner" with, not having to pick only from the ones supplied by the camp commandant
and many other stuff,

COUNCILLORS and some stakeholders in Abia State have dragged a council boss, (names withheld) to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for allegedly approving the sum of[b] N1 million every month in the past two years[/b] as kitchen allowance for his wife from the council funds.

It took these charlatans two good years before coming out to speak out against the oddity.
Why keep quite all this while?
Why make noise now?

The LG boss must have been greasing them with their own share of the loot for the past 2 bloody years.
Now they've demanded for an increase in their share, oga has refused so they now want to punish him.

Thief calling thief Ole.
Bloody Naija politrickcians

Why are they all Ibo men

I've been expecting someone to comment on that angle
We MUST be tribalistic in everything, don't we? !&^$#

@topic
I think the Nigerian government should give an eye for an eye.
We have damn too many of these Chinese illiterate immigrating to Naija to
take jobs that are not there from the indigents.

I am sure many of them are illegal; they should be investigated

i used complicited cos i was not really single and i was looking forward to meet new friends

If I am not mistaken, there's an option that states "looking for friends" or some other thing that better and safely describes your relationship status than the mischievously ambiguous "complicated".

Delusional BS.

You keep dreaming.

All these things are long thing. Why wont my girl friend stay with me.

If any girl is stupid to date me as a married man, why should I complain again?

So the girl is to blame for dating you?

Interesting

As some of you might be aware, when Governor Lamido Sanusi's predecessor in office - Professor Charles Soludo (an economist) was appointed in 2004, my disagreement with him on policy was so vehement that I chose to go public with it. In a published letter to him dated 12 July 2004, which appeared in The Guardian Newspaper on 21 July 2004, I pointed out that, on banking consolidation, Governor Joseph Sanusi (1999 -2004, Soludo's predecessor) did "too little too late" and that his approach was "frustrating but not dangerous". I then cautioned that in my opinion Governor Charles Soludo's approach/actions translated into ", trying to do far too much and far too soon" and that we might therefore be ", swinging from one extreme to another and that is very dangerous". As we all know, throughout his tenure, Professor Charles Soludo appeared to be pushing Nigerian banks to expand aggressively both domestically and internationally.

A few months after the advent of the current global financial crisis it became evident to all those who were discerning that a handful of Nigerian banks were in trouble. At the very least, they were guilty of bad judgement. Some say that two or three of these banks grew too big too fast and were simply destined to implode. Whatever be the case, it was clear that they had misread the severity of the economic downturn and the collapse of asset and commodity prices (including the Nigerian stock market index and crude oil prices) and had lent large sums of money to people (including some insiders) who did not have a semblance of a business plan. Their loan losses were so significant that they became clearly illiquid and became increasingly reliant on Government "life-support" via continued reliance on CBN's expanded discount window. Weak risk management and lopsided corporate governance practices did not help either.

The Emperor had no clothes on, but CBN under Charles Soludo insisted that he was fully clothed and, indeed, threatened sanctions against any Bank CEO whose staff dared to make reference to this "open secret" that the capital of a handful of Nigerian banks was almost completely eroded. They called this "de-marketing" of the competition and even turned the clock back on greater financial disclosure and transparency.

Perhaps Governor Soludo was seeking a second term for himself before seeking clothes for the naked emperors?

Enter Mr Sanusi Lamido Sanusi a seasoned and knowledgeable economist and professional banker/risk manager with impeccable credentials, including, notably, integrity and a penchant for telling the truth at all times - hence his bias towards full disclosure and transparency.

I make this declaration publicly and without any hesitation because Lamido is a man I have known for over 35 years. We are both economists and professional bankers and our paths have crossed repeatedly over the years. Lamido is intelligent, bold, courageous, independent, straightforward, honest and humble.

I believe Lamido's recent actions have also helped to provide the spark to President Umaru Yar 'Adua's Presidency. Our President must, of course, take the credit for having the foresight to appoint Lamido and for backing him on this important rescue mission because as we all know, DOING NOTHING WAS NO LONGER AN OPTION.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present Mr Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Jeeze!
I've not seen so much barefaced boot licking in a looooooong time

Governor Charles Soludo's approach/actions translated into ", trying to do far too much and far too soon"

I can't believe this.
So Sanusi is the one taking his time to do things at a sedate pace?

:-x

@ poster

Couldn't read all the posts on this thread.
But has someone asked you to define "complicated" to your girlfriend?

That should be your first step

You simply cant let over 170K varnish just like that.

Be persistent, make some noise and create a scene at your bank.
Some one in position will be forced to listen to you.

Sometimes you have to act crazy to get attention!

So what happened to "Nigeria, Good people, Good Nation"?

Appears we no longer have good people to either run our banks or buy them for that matter.

Shaky Nigerian banks for shakier foreign banks.

its getting ridiculous. i forsee a situation where people will be kidnapped for as low as 10k, depending on how much your income and status in the society is. especially when the yahoo-yahoo business goes down!

Exactly an opinion I expressed @ a different forum.

How did we get here?
Initially only Caucasian expartriates were the victims, later any oyibo-like person was a candidate for kidnap.
Then, kidnapping oyibos was a popular theme for jokes and comedy.

Now, we all are potential victims.
Colombia of the 90s will be child's play if the authorities don't do something real fast.

Maybe guys should retaliate by leaving their boxers behind at their ladies' place.

How about that

Romantic Nigerian food
It doesn't exist!

Nigerian food is basically for stamina and strength.

Put 2 & 2 together bros.
Stamina, Strength, Hard-Knocked Nigerian and Romance don't belong in the same sentence

Is anyone surprised?
