This is ignorance - NO ONE can accurately measure the flow of oil at such a depth, when expansion of the gas, oil flow and water entrainment make it complicated. The estimates were simply that - ESTIMATES, with widely varying possibilities. Furthermore, the 'claimed' figures, were released by NOAA, under the control of Admiral Allen. Only a mischief maker will say that BP has lied about that - NO ONE KNOWS. Even the technical group is now analysing better data since the pipe was cut in early june to get better ESTIMATES.

Debo stop it. . . . we know that BP has deliberately misinformed the public about the amount of oil leaking. . . . BP know the pressure in the well just before the blast, they know the pressure of the seabed. . . they should be able to give us the volumetric flow rate at a decent range of accuracy. . . . not this one they lie to us that only 5000 barrels are spilling, when small funnel they inserted collects 5000 barells by itself . . . BP is just playing a PR game by talking about ESTIMATES. . . . we can estimate to a decent degree of accuracy. . .

Summarily, Can UK ever do anything right?, From football to oil

hehehehe. . . . I knew you would bring English footie into the conversation.

As for BP paying out dividends, thats mandatory to prevent downward pressure on their shareprice. British investors dont take kindly to non payment of dividends.

Lemme just add that the only person happy about this oil spill is Mr Toyoda. He must be offering sake and rice as thanksgiving to his samurai ancestors. . . cos American press were getting ready to obliterate Toyota brand before this BP fiasco!

Make una wait make I go bring my scientific calculator come. . . N50m for house in Yaba?. . . . thank God for Port Harcourt!!!

hmmm. . . . see wetin woman done cause. . . .

Pls, the Chief of Police in his district should do his job and bring criminal charges against the disgraced monarch. . .

I hope them houses in Lekki come with swimming pool, helipad, beachfront and tennis courts. What would happen to those house prices if Nigeria keeps hurtling on its path toward failed state status?

whoa. . . . Im not sure its for 4 years. . . . dont quote me on that till you verify yourself. . .

British Industry is complaining that Obama's rhetoric on BP is too harsh. This is because something like £1 in every £5 pension funds are tied up in BP.

Houses in Lekki are worth N80m?  

By UK mortgage rules, that means you need to earn £90k gross to get a mortgage in Lekki.

Andre 3000 is one of the best emcees to ever tough the mic. . . . abeg make una no call in name in relation to these new guys. . . .

Im running this shyt. . .

Yeah Stoch held all the variables in his favour. We should have given him a contract before we sent him to Twente. . .

In other news, Anelka has signed new 4 year contract @ £90k/week. . .

Chelsea also estimate they will save £18m pa in wages by releasing Belleti, Deco, Joe Cole and Ballack.

Too many blurred lines between HipHop and Pop music nowadays. . . Eldee say na good HIPHOP music, me I say na good HIP POP music. . . . when Drake puts his mind to rapping, he is actually a good rapper. . . . oya, make una allow issue rest. . .

This Chelsea cost-cutting should have started with JT last summer. If we had sold him to Citeh instead of giving him new contract, players like JC would not be making ridiculous demands.

I think JC wanted to leave anyway, and deliberately set his wage demands so high.

Shweinsteiger contract was due to expire this summer, but the punk went and signed new contract last November. He should have done a JC so we could have copped him on a free. £25m is not excessive by todays standards, but its excessive by previous standards. I think we should wait out this bubble in the transfer market. Prices will crash eventually. . . . and they will definitely crash in 2 years time when Platini financial rules come into play. . . . in the meantime, lets look for quality but cheap players. . . . if Schweini is worth £25m, then why not buy out Gourcuff contract for £21m?

Not another diaspora thread!!!

Is there a change in genetics soon as someone moves abroad? How are NID's so different to NINs?

In the US I think other races gamble more.

Na lie. . . . Niggas just love to play Cee-Lo on the streets rather than go into legitimate gambling establishments.


@ topic,

Its a real issue, and not all Nigerians are immune to it. Someone very dear to me has blown over £20k in casinos over the last 3 years.

In Nigeria, commercial banks were forced to take up Investment banking (and vice-versa) or lose their licence. That is not, and has never been the case in UK/US. We have many regional banks over here, mainly dealing with the day to day needs of their locality.

If your assertion is correct, we would see Commercial banks being pressurised to take up Investment banking by the authorities. . . . which is patently not the case. The fact is that GS was forced to take up Commerical banking licence in US because there is a difference in regulation between Commerical and Investment banks in US which does not apply in Europe. . . . in other words, The Treasury wanted to be able to keep an eye on Goldman.

@ Roadstar,

No commercial bank has ever been forced to obtain Investment banking licence. Geithner and Vince Gables continuous calls to break up big banks is antithetal to the Universal banking model.

US Govt wanted some Investment Banks to become Commerical because commercial are subject to tighter regulation and restrictions. On the other hand, no commercial has ever been asked to take up Investment banking so your assertion is false.

These lot are plonkers. . . . rappers metaphors do not have to be precise. . . . if someone says My flows are tight like Hebrews, does that mean all Hebrews are tight?

So Joe Cole now has the winning mentality that Arsenal players lack?

How instrumental is/was Joe Cole to Chelsea's title wins? How did he influence West Ham or England national team?

Some people always think the grass is greener on the other side.

Its getting hot in here. . . .

When we were having kidnapping problem in Rivers State and we told em it was mostly our brothers in Aba state causing all the ruckus, they did not believe. I hope Aba boys no go blame Rivers boys this time around o!

@eldee

do u accept that 'we dey vex' by Mode9 and Tuface and is miles better than this track?

For the simple line "me and you are prime numbers. . . we not even", Mode9 wins this handdown!!! 

Cant compare a love song and a battle song though. . . .
