[quote author=tayo_ast link=topic=571282.msg7378020#msg7378020 date=1292887359]It has nothing to do wt hw much Glo have.

It's down 2 d 'market worth' of d celebrities.

Hw much d'u tink they doled out to all Nollywood Artistes?[/quote]The said amount is definately outrageous, What I'm trying to say is that some of the glo ambassadors aren't any better or popular than Uti, not everyone can be a glo ambassador. Have you forgotten that 2face isn't one or is 2face not worth enough??

A lot has been said. Dont let anyone deceive you, age and maturity of the mind is critical. Marrying isnt the koko, staying married is the main koko. Just know that more than anything, marriage isnt for boys, but for men. If your still a boy, dont touch it. Fiiiiiiile. You must also be ready to have your blood pressure go up often, if you can manage that, then your ready.

If your marrying a Nigerian woman, i am not insinuating its a rule, but in most cases i have heard of, just be ready to carry the responsibilities of the woman, her mother and great grand mother, you will buy mobile phones, buy car sef, and send monthly allowances to wife's family members etc otherwise, they will eventually say you are not a good man and that you are stingy. Na so i see am as the thing dey happen for naija. I tire.

Best believe, Marrying is not the koko, staying married is the main koko.

it seems like not for the money but for the holders ego sake.
that a university degree is useful.
  it cost say 5 or 6 years but at the end , the bsc /ba graduate
has more self esteem that the secondary school student.
and with M.A ,phD the self esteem goes higher - though the pocket
depth may not correspond.
  and people correspondingly , in their mind, consider non university
  graduates to be half human. as if theyr retards,that's why
they seem suprised when the "dimwits" do sth. exceptionally well
they say "he isnt even a unversity graduate"
  meaning - he's a not-so-smart person yet he's so smart - this is
the exception - only university graduates aught to be as smart,rich,
successful as he/she is  - the sheep - whose brain is one quarter alive.
infact is seems like an injustice - they won't say it loud - that
non university trained people should be successful !!!
like success is the exclusive domain of the paper holders.

I'll disagree with  you completely on this. Having a degree goes beyond just gaining more self esteem, it comes with some specialized skills especially in science based courses. Mind you there are some skills that are believed to only be taught in the university example is structural engineering, no matter the number of years an uneducated builder spends in the business he can't put up an high-rise building without some complex calculations which can only be learnt in the four walls of a classroom. Tell me if such skills can be classified as self esteem? That doesn't mean an uneducated person can't  be richer, been rich is a different thing entirely.

I really don't see Ibori getting off the hook this time, with his wife and lawyer already nailed. I just pray he gets a sentence that is proportionate to his offense not the Cecelia Ibru type we had in Naija.

Very Sad,  Hope the club and state government does something to help his family. The NPL can also do with lots of investments in the area medical staffs and facilities, its very important as the game is accident prone. We wish his family, his colleagues and club the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss.

tunyus:
This Man is a IRRITANT and too BOASTFULL
Imagine a bleaching guvnor, shameless Man

He looks so irresponsible, what do you expect from an ex-police officer in Nigeria who has been stealing tax payers money all his life.

akinnux:
This is just pure carelessness and it is very saddening. I hope INEC would learn from this error to avoid unnecessary negative public image.

What are you talking about? When did INEC become NAMA? Who is suppose to be in charge of security at the airport? What is the NPF doing? Don't even call INEC at all my friend.

I'll rather you say PDP is confused, they want to make sure GEJ remains the presidential candidate and at the same time keep the party together. I hope PDP ends up a died party after the primaries. IBB on his own part seems to be having mental disorder.

2makesense:
Walaha Dey O!, election neva start machine don begin miss already! hope say no be indication say our votes too go miss

Your votes won't miss, just that the Micheal Jackson and Nelson Mandelas registered with the stolen machines will also vote. You can imagine how many such ghost voters will be.

Deep Soul:
Na wa! In as much as there's a serious security lapse in the country, let's not blame this on security. Atleast not entirely.

Firstly, Im sure those who were given the contract for the machines, inflated the cost as is the norm. That's Strike 1.
Now, after inflating the cost, they have decided to claim their possession. They have most likely "settled" all those so-called airport security officials.

I'm wondering what the main aim for this theft is.

Is it to:

a) Resell the machines?
b) Capture their own data directly? (another form of rigging)
c) Sabotage efforts being made to have a free and fair election so as to have a smoother rigging process
d) "Expose" the ineffectiveness of the Jonathan administration??

Whatever the reasons, this has further increased my pessimism about the development of Nigeria. Just when I thought I had reached the height of pessimism, it gets worse!  

The main reason will be facilitate smoother rigging in 2011, we all know the party that rigs most. I won't be surprised if PDP is behind this.

Our problems are just too complex, the bad elements in this society will never back off. 11 years of PDP rule and security is still in a pathetic state,  

IBB is just trying to be relevant, the fall of PDP is eminent at this point. I can't wait to celebrate PDP's demise, they don't mean well for Nigeria at all.

How did I forget Sagamite, that guy is highly unpredictable. Wish I could just meet some people one on one really.

Think I share the same political views with folks like Jarus whose post I always like. For Beaf though, no way but I think he's always firm.
Like reading post on NL whenever I'm chanced, still looking forward to the day Mr Cork will start making sense though.
Abeg Mr Cork change for good before its to late.

r.i.p

Honestly people like Ibori ought to be killed, there's no limit to the amount they can steal, na wa o,

I feel they were too soft on him, his children better change their surname right now because their father just destroyed it.

SmashingM:
Stop dreaming poster. The woman has got too much class to associate with Atiku.

Best believe, She's not in the same class with Atiku at all.

You really shouldn't have started what you can't sustain, you need to start looking else where because the moment you stop borrowing him money, the relationship is gone. The first time he came, you assisted, 2nd time same, why didn't you say no the 3rd time. Try saying no and stand by your no to see what his reaction is going to be, that might give you an insight.

I've been looking at Rossike's arguments and wondering why you'll blame people for condemning the National Assembly members. If 25% of the total budget goes to them for making laws, what then is left for the executive arm who is suppose to implement such laws. Don't forget implementation involves more logistics. If you leave in Nigeria and see how some of these politicians throw money around, then you'll know there's something wrong.

Just look at this breakdown

Total population - 140,000,000

2010 proposed budget - N4.079trillion Source http://www.budgetoffice.gov.ng/budget_update/UMY%20-%202010%20BUDGET%20PRESENTATION%20SPEECH.pdf

25% of the budget -  1.01975trillion

Imagine less than 0.00000000000000000001% of the total population of this country taking 25% of the budget, How will you describe that?

@Rossike, Nigerians have every right to be angry and no matter the word used to describe the National assembly members, I really think they deserve it. They are milking us dry, no development can ever happen in such situation where the cost of running a government is higher than cost of taking care of the people.

I'm happy for our very own Ashavin, It's just normal that Russia is given an opportunity to host the world after so long.

Fifa chooses Russia to host the football WorldCup in 2018. The Russians beat England who were considered to have the strongest bid before voting at FIFA's headquarters in Zurich. The English bid team had strong names like David Beckham, Prince Williams and even the Prime minister David Cameron in their team. The Russians are going to host their first Football world cup in 2018.
In a related development Qatar has won the right to host the 2022 world cup.

Probably you'll know who's joking then.

I'm getting lots of ideas from this thread, Some people even met their spouses at the mortuary, una no go kill me walahi

ROSSIKE:
na so said:



Not at all. It is ALL connected. What I wrote here is a FACT.  You would be blind or dumb to argue that the senators and reps ''do nothing''. How many of these loudmouths follow National Assembly sessions? How many actually know, or care what those reps discuss and do every day in the house? You just sit in your parlour making these lazy, generalised assumptions, insulting your way through all of them, and expect everyone here to just fall in line? Sorry but we're not all some dumb, mob followership here. At least not all of us.

Some of us understand that a country gets the leaders it deserves. The senators are by no means saints. But neither are WE.

They do SOME good work, since, as Nigerians, we generally don't just do nothing when put in a position to act. But they are also into making good money, since as Nigerians, we see such appointments as a means to get rich.

So the senators and reps are just being NIGERIAN. Their level of professionalism or otherwise, and morality is commensurate with the societal average or norm in Nigeria.

Noisemakers here are merely HYPOCRITES who come here to pretend that they're from a country whose people frown on corruption and other vices, but who just so happen to be cursed with crooked leaders, AND THAT'S A DELUSION I AM NOT PREPARED TO ENTERTAIN.

Until WE, ie the average Nigerians, STOP seeing public service as a route to quick wealth, until we ALL rid ourselves of that mentality that says we have ''arrived'' once we get a phone call stating we've been appointed, we will keep producing politicians who reflect our thinking. And we will continue to look stuppid when, rather than fix ourselves, we constantly attack our shadows (sorry, ''our leaders'').

TALK ABOUT CHASING SHADOWS.

You really insane for some words you used to describe people on NL, I wish you were watching the house of rep sitting live on NTA now.
The sitting is suppose to start by 10:00AM, it started around 11:30AM
I'm watching the sitting of the House of Representatives live on NTA right now and this people are really mocking themselves. The house sent an invitation to the CBN governor to appear before it today at plenary, after the Sergent at arm admitted to the members that the CBN governor has been in the National Assembly complex since 9:45AM. The members failed to admit him to the floor of the house referring the matter to one of the committees.
We all watched them on Tuesday saying he should come and face us, he should come and tell us where he got his facts from. All of a sudden they don't want to listen to him again. This people deserved to be hanged. COWARDS
How now will describe such an action Are you trying to tell us things should continue the way they are

damola1:
Rubbish talk. There's no way, they expect a man to have built a company from the scratch and just move on, It's not done.

What the silly CBN should watch is simply that they get the job done, all this stories about former MD are just a waste of time, Has OBASANJO really left the seat of power?,

What do you mean it's not done? If all shareholders at an AGM vote someone to anchor the day to day business of the bank, and you as a major shareholder or ex-MD feels you not done executing your ideas, then you should seek re-election or an extension of your tenure instead of interfering with the new MD's job. The CBN's job is to protect the interest of the customers and all other shareholders not just that of the ex-MD or major shareholder. This is the same thing Ibru family did to ruin Oceanic bank.

jamesugo:
that can't still curb the corruption among among bank MDs

It'll limit it though, they have to watch their back now knowing the CBN is always there to treat their Bleep ups

[quote author=liaslo*** link=topic=560888.msg7257564#msg7257564 date=1291288409]The corruption started from the top i.e the CBN governor, they have to remove those at the top;
