BusinessRe: PHCN Will Cease To Exist From 2012: Minister Of Power by Guardian(m): 9:02pm On Dec 16, 2011
While his plans all sound interesting. I hate to hear these so called Profs and key Regulatory Spokes person talk rubbish about actualization of infrastructure.

For the records it damn should not take  3-4 years to complete a power station of mare 500-4000Mw. 
Unreasonable time-lines like these happen only in Nigeria, Where little structures take months of Sundays to build and on completion everybody hails the success with a video shows, paid adverts, TV broadcast and buhaha.

Imagine the years gone past since, dawn of Democracy and after several failed TAM's on our refinery and still, The government can't boast of having at least 4-5 new Refineries Haba !!!.

In this day and age when you can have modular refineries shipped to site and setup in months.  Na curse !!!

SAD !!!

ComputersRe: Processor Speed Or Ram(random Access Memory): Which Determines Speed Of A Pc? by Guardian(m): 11:17pm On Dec 07, 2011
The imac's naturally would out perform others.

Compare apples to apples solely on intel base processors.

Least we forget OS architecture adds a bit of performance improvement viz windows software on a Linux platform definitely would perform better than a windows version on a windows platform.
ComputersRe: Processor Speed Or Ram(random Access Memory): Which Determines Speed Of A Pc? by Guardian(m): 9:30pm On Dec 07, 2011
Both are important.  The facts are

1. The Proc Speed is the actual measure of how fast your PC runs and is able to process instructions - Very important. Naturally your PC is fast once you have a faster Proc. However

2. Your RAM aids your PC and you the user by ensuring you have enough hot memory to load both applications and data, e.g when u open, Word, Excel, AutoCAd all the same time.
   The larger the RAM size the better the Proc is able to perform manipulation of data directly from RAM. Else,  if the RAM is insufficient it transfers data to your Harddisk which is much slower
   to communicate and retrieve data from, leading to slightly slower response when the Proc needs to operate on a data fast.

If you have basic load, e.g just word processing your FAST Proc is OK . But if you do a lot of multi-tasking  which involves the software loading and manipulating multiple sets/store of data. You need more RAM.

Frankly. RAM complements the capability of the Processor. Especially during multiple program execution


If you really want to know how fast and what processor to buy go http://www.cpubenchmark.net/

To be or not the be ?

Leadership is not the problem. The people from whom the leaders gain their power are the problem. - a.e 1999


Leadership stems from the society. Who makes the society ? Nigerians.

When Nigerians change their mindset it all will fall in place.

For now What we get is what we want.

In Argentina they faced the same problem. This is what happened below. The leaders BEHAVED.

RomanceRe: Do University Relationships Ever Lead To Marriage? by Guardian(m): 3:00pm On Nov 27, 2011
A lot depends on the maturity of both sexes while at school. Sadly guys lack behind and hardly have an idea of the real world, their state of maturity is often beclouded by juvenile mind set. Immediately after graduating males gear up in the pursuite of money, status and pleasures both can acquire, car, electronics and the accessiblity to flings and variety of younger females.  For the ladys they want to move on faster, it's almost natural, Unlike guys their priority has been set near exit years from school. Their choice is further made easier by the fact that older males now at maturity want a younger woman for wife.

Considering the reality of above. Very few relationships in university make it to the dream of high school sweet hearts now married.

When it does occur in the case of those of us, lucky enough.  It was because the state of maturity was in tune or was facilitated by break through in economic
means on the part of the guy or due to family affluence.

Nairaland GeneralRe: Which Is Worse: Greed Or Selfishness by Guardian(m): 7:26pm On Nov 04, 2011
This is like asking a Condemned Man, which is a painful way to die between Hanging or Lethal injection ?

Both are Bad, negative traits
Both work hand in hand
In all cases, Greed develops from selfishness but seldom vice versa.

The only distinction I see is mode of operation and existence in humans.

Selfishness is permanent trait. It sometimes can be genetic in transfer, and remains part of the individual through out existence.

Greed occurs at a particular instance. It may be multiple but the individual can fight it off and necessarily doesn't remain in the person.

You need to put up the scenarios that apply to our 9aija environment. Apart from some few sectors e.g Financial. How many married working women have the time to enjoy cheating/ flirting. Give 9aija Married women chance. Them they try.

TravelRe: FG Slashes British Airway's Flights To Nigeria by Guardian(m): 6:39pm On Nov 04, 2011
Guk:
Now, am totally convinced that a lot of responders here are educated illiterates who are also too lazy to do simple investigation even with google at their disposal.

This is a move i can never support because it is repugnant and also business disincentive.

(1) Flight is cheaper from Ghana to London. Why is it cheaper?? The tax collected by the Nigerian govt make our tickets more expensive.

(2) BASA allows for 21 flights each to fly in UK and Nigeria. It does not choose the Airport for u. BA used to fly to Kano a few years ago. UK Airlines are fully utilising their 21 slots. Nigeria is not! Who's fault is thathuh
Nigeria claims that it is unfair & will review it. (Likely downwards) I cant begin to list stupidity of such action. What happens if ARIK; AERO; DANA; AIR Nigeria, suddenly can utilise the 21 slotshuh but you have reduced it to spite the British carriers and you cant review until the next review date. You kill your own peoples business.

(3) ACL annually, openly and transparently auction slots to fly into Heathrow via slottrader portal. All airlines bid, there is no mago mago. ARIK, like so many other airlines cant get exactly what they want, they then have to buy in the secondary market. Pure business sense tells u, dont overbid if your passenger load cannot sustain it.(Ask HITV ala EPL)

(4) Gatwick Airport is an alternative. Lots of Airlines use it and bus their passengers to Heathrow at no extra cost. A nigerian is the CEO of Gatwick Airport, maybe he might listen to Stella Oduah's charm.

(5) Local contractors will have their businesses affected by the reduction in flight which may in turn lead to redundancy.

(6) The in flight food provider quoted on our Stock exchange will lose out "minimally"

(7) We are signatories to a number of Airline conventions. You dont just wake up and flagrantly violate them because ARIK loses slots it cant economically sustain. It show an irresponsible govt

(cool Its an embarrassment to Segun Aganga Min of Trade and Investment who is trying to woo foreign investors. One of the major hinderances to foreign investment in Nigeria is banana republic type of action just taken. Inconsistent policies; Flagrant violation of laid down rules etc

(9) Stella Oduah and ARIK have created a diplomatic mess for Foreign Affairs minister to clean up

(10) Shows how incapable GEJ is as an Administrator. You dont allow your surbodinates to go around embarrassing your govt and nation like this.

(11) For those refering to and hailing Abacha's action then, SHAME on you. Its either you dont know what happened, which is no excuse or you are just plain ignorant. For your info. The British Airport Authority back then denied Nigeria Airways landing rights at Heathrow simply because they did not meet minimum standards. They had been given enough time to work on their aircrafts but chose not to & Nigeria Airways was not the only Airline denied. In retaliation Abacha banned British Airways for 2 years. It was an unhailed move. The educated; literate and well informed also do not hail this present action. Its an irresponsible one that throws up our thinking as a nation
You have valid points. But the real deal is.  The Brits know Nigerian airline are unable to compete and have schemed well enough to make us loose out. This issue is not about if or why or whether fares in Nigeria cost more due to high Tax rate in Nigeria. It's a sentimental issue of BA enjoying wonderful business from Nigeria, it's British  and British authorities responsible for Airport slot management are not giving a helping hand to Arik to grow and become a competition to BA.

On the issue of High Fares. Yes you are correct. But It's not the Federal Govt. I bet Jonathan has no business with it. It's the damn Airport management agency !!! and the office of the Minister. Swear at them and give them a good beating to turn their heads around. It's one of their cash cows. Nigerian Airport management is like Agbero to moto park, They are ready to die in office becos of the money they make that never get's ploughed back into fixing airport let alone upgrade.

On the issue of investors. Forget your logic. If you like grudge Naija Government meddling in private sector matter be it Airtel issue or even this Arik brohaha. It's not a deterrent.
The Oyinbo's would still que to get a Visa to Naija, Land 9aija in spite of security warnings, Milk and funnel back to their home base.

The real factors limiting investment is basic lack of core infrastructure. Not business policies. That can be ironed out much later and easily.

You don't have to think twice. 2 M can get you both car and Land. Do both.  You don't even have to think about it.

1.  You need the car for convenience,   Danfo, Taxi's and BRT  do not operate at 12:00am or 1:00 am God forbid you have an emergency.
2. When the child is born the poor woman needs some comfort, going to church, mosque abi where ever. Immunization etc.
3. Women generally feel comfortable when a car is around and they are driven about in it. Sadly u become the driver smiley manage am God go give u more money


1 .On the issue of Land You can get clean land for 1 Million unless u are strong headed like my friend who wants it all at half price
2. Illeya is around your 1 million is big bargaining power. Go over to property guys in Property section of Naira land and get your land.
