Politics › Re: Sanusi Is A Sadist And A Thief Looking For Investment He Can Steal. by Ibime(m): 10:25pm On Feb 12, 2010

In January, when the then Minister of Labour (now AG), Ade Kayode, speaking on behalf of Goodlucks acting Government issued directives to all banks that they must stop downsizing immediately, it was obvious that Goodluck would intervene on the current CBN reforms.

Hence I wont be surprised to see a reversion of Sanusi's anti-PDP, anti-cabal policies.

Let the dice roll.

Trust, Dora is not doing this without consulting Jonathan. They all have something to hide, and Dora would normally take the opportunity to sweep this issue under the rug. She knows Anaconda is fighting for his political life, and she is seeking to twist the knife.

Imeobong:
Another source told Saharareporters that but for the removal of Aondoakaa yesterday, he was already armed with a lawsuit with which he wanted to get a judge in Abuja to help “interpret” the motions of the National Assembly by which Jonathan became Acting President, hence the mobilization of policemen to his house and office to forestall any such action.

hehehe. . . dont you just love politics?

Jonathan wields such influence over the FEC now that he can force them to declare Yaradua incapacitated once and for all.

Politics › Re: Jonathan Approves $2bn Excess Crude Funds For Sharing by Ibime(m): 9:46am On Feb 12, 2010

After only 2 days, this guy done dey share money amongst him compadres. On his first day, it was a meeting with ministers to double some hotel building contract from N800m to N1.4bn so as to turn it from a 2-star to a 4-star facility. I really wonder if that should be a Presidents priority on his first day, or is it the price he had to pay to be given the Presidency?

Now its the Governors turn. If the governors feel they have run out of money, they should feel free to use the one they have already stolen to develop their respective states.

Its like these repeated calls for "economic stimulus" has become a ruse for public officials to eat deeper into the national cake.

Okonjo-Iweala set up the excess crude fund for a reason, and that was to bolster our foreign reserves, not to dip into it whenever we feel like.

Can a rotten tree (PDP) produce good fruit? We will see in the fullness of time.

You lot are jokers.

What was so complex about the loans given out by the failed banks?

Complex financial instruments ko, complex measurement instruments ni!

Structured products are structured over underlying assets, unlike in Nigeria where banks structure products over thin air and other intangibles such as "trust" and "personal relationship". grin

CBN has just commissioned a contract with someone I know for work on a 30-year yield curve for Nigeria to help develop the corporate bond market. Naija companies have historically been unable to raise capital by issuing corporate bonds. Guaranty Trust bank has been the first bank to successfully issue corporate bonds just last month while the rest of yall sit on Nairaland raking dust about Northern agenda. I guess these forward looking measures by CBN are all part of retrogressive thinking by Sanusi in his pursuit of a "raw cash" economy.

So because he clamped down on unsecured bank loans means he is anti-financial instruments?

Financial instruments is a broad definition.

It is the developing of financial instruments that are as good as raw cash. In the modern World, trade is no longer brick and morter and raw cash; trust, ideas, methods, techniques, positions, confidence etc are marketable.

For him, banking is all about raw cash, trust and instruments are criminal to him. But then, what do you expect from a bushman?

Against Burnley, DD did not play but we still struggled. How do you explain that?

We created host of chances against Burnley. Contrast with non-creation of chances against Hull.

It is pertinent to note even that Burnley is our only away win in over 2 months.

FBS:
I love Nic's movement and footie intelligence. . .infact I get to appreciate him more every game but you know Uncle Carlo (or any other coach - Scolari did it and got the boot) will never bench DD and there must be a reason for that, don't you think?

Uncle Scolaris problem was not refusal to play DD upfront. We had played brilliantly till our defeat to Arsenal. Scolaris problem was refusing to recognise that everyone had sussed out his diamond formation and lack of width.

Playing DD and Anelka upfront is a problem in that you have to sacrifice one midfielder to do so. If you want to keep ball possession and still play both together, then you have to resort to a diamond. This will give you plenty of possession but deny you width.

On the other hand, playing Anelka on the right and DD upfront will give you a modicum of width (as long as Anelka sticks to the wing ala Guus Hiddink 4-3-3), but you will have to sacrifice possession as DD is not a "possession" footballer, and lacks the finesse to link up play (at least at the speed with which Anelka does).

If you want to keep both width AND possession, you play Anelka upfront, with 2 wide men (who are also capable of tucking in - Malouda and JC for example). This gives you width and possession, but takes away the aerial dominance that DD brings.

However, with possession football, aerial dominance is less important. It should be noted that we scored a hell of a lot of headers in January despite our lack of aerial dominance in the box. This is because we were able to get runners into the box unchallenged due to the sheer overrunning of opposition midfields.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Everton Vs Chelsea [2 -1] On Wed, 10th February by Ibime(m): 1:14pm On Feb 11, 2010

Lets put it this way. . . if a single player forces you to change your style of play (whatever the merits of that player), then it should come as no surprise when the team struggles for consistency. . . we have seen that even Daniel Sturridge can slot into the style we were playing in January seamlessly, yet our whole style of play changes when DD is reintroduced. . . if your overriding focus is on individual performance rather than systems of play, then by all means the reintroduction of Drogba will be a positive to you. . . however, having seen a successful system of play implemented during the absence of DD, my overriding focus is on how to continue with that system. . . DD must prove that he can fit into that system, and lets be honest, what made that system tick was Anelkas movement and intelligence upfront, as well as the natural width and extra intelligence provided by Joe Cole. . .

I am all in favour of playing DD in home games and in games where he gives you a distinct physical advantage, but playing him at all costs brings to mind the saying "the whole is less than the sum of its parts!".

Post edited. November.
We were banging in goals and creating chances like never before.

We were playing diamond then. . . Anelka was the chief creator with his runs upfront. . . now he's stuck on the wing, the burden lies on DD to link the play. . . unless you want to go back to diamond which most rival managers have sussed out.

It is a crying shame that Soyinka should still be the one leading civil disobedience rallies after all these years. What happened to the NUS and such? Young people are the drivers of revolutions all around the world, and only complacent youths like the ones we have in Nigeria will wait for an elder like Soyinka to remind them of their civic duty to fight for their democratic rights.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. by Ibime(m): 8:01am On Feb 11, 2010

I think Arsenal are still in the title race. The ease with which they dispatch small teams indicates that the coast is clear from here on in for Arsenal, the only bump in that road being the away fixture at Spurs.

Chelsea still have to play Manure, Spurs and Liverpool away while Manure still have to face Liverpool and Citeh away as well as Chelsea at home.

There is hope yet, and only a complacent Chelsea or Manure fan will dismiss Arsenals title challenge just yet. . . . when we consider that Chelsea have only won 1 away game since November, there are still points to play for.

Her eminence grise should wait for 2011, when she can flex her political muscle through either one of her son-in-laws who should be President by then. Until then, she has no political capital to spend, and should concern herself with repatriating her cadaver of a husband back home for a full muslim burial.

Politics › Re: Is Nass Resolution To Make Goodluck Jonathan Acting President Legal? by Ibime(m): 7:43am On Feb 11, 2010

Of course its illegal.

NASS stands in contempt of court for overriding the decision of the Supreme Court. NASS has no mandate to talk about a "doctrine of necessity". The only necessity in this ruling is the necessity to keep the pie-sharing cabal unruffled and to keep Yaraduas political power-base intact for 2011.

Perhaps Jonathan is a willing participant in this charade, happy just to eat his share and look the other way.

As Onlytruth has said, Jonathans Presidency is a lame-duck Presidency from the get-go.

We called for outright sacking of Aoondaoka, he instead "demotes" Aoondaoka to a position that puts him in charge of monitoring Federal contracts. What contracts is he monitoring. . . the contracts of the present cabal? Again, this is just a propagation of the status-quo prompted by political expediency. Aaondoakas performance over the last few years is not deserving of anything other than outright sacking.

NASS only constitutional mandate is to impeach the President for leaving the country without a leader by failing to pass them a handover letter. Full stop.

When we start the season, there are some teams I "HOPE" we take 3 pts from.

Liverpool, Villa, Everton and Spurs. Somehow we draw against these teams.

And when we do, I look forward to the next game. Simples. . .

And were you not among the same guys saying JC is shait and should be sold?

Clap for yourself. . . advocating that a perenially injured player who demands £125,000 a week should be allowed to leave is not exactly the same as saying he is shait. . . if JC comes to Chelsea to demand £70,000 a week, by all means keep him.

I advocated JT and DD be sold when they started making noise about humongous contracts. I even advocated that my favourite Chelsea player Lampard be sold when he started asking for £150,000 a week. . . you think I am a dunce? Can I not see equally good players on the market who will cost less? My attitude is that every Chelsea player must be value for money, regardless of who they are.

JC is not good enough for that kind of money, but he sure as hell would help Chelsea dominate the game against Everton far better that DD's gra-gra style.
