Politics › Re: Cbn Is Ass Hole: Stanbic Ibtc Boss by Ibime(m): 10:39am On Dec 16, 2009
Y'all calm down. . . . this piece was pulled by realmen to sensationalise things. . . . I guess he thinks these are strong arguments against his anti-hero Sanusi. . . . .rather, these are the usual critiques of (a.) moral hazard (b.) regulation etc that you would find on CNBC, Bloomberg etc by various economists. . . . it does not denote incompetence on the part of CBN, rather these are generic economic arguments . . . every economic decision has advantages and disadvantages. . . . Mr Peterside is just laying them out for you. . . . what he is saying is similar to something like this.


He also makes some good points:

realmen:
Peterside also faulted the response of the CBN to the financial crisis vis-a-vis the Expanded Discount Window, saying it tantamount to continuously over feeding an over-weight child.

He also warned that the proposed Asset Management Company could exacerbate mral hazard problem in the banking industry.

He said, “Misuse of the CBN’s Expanded Discounted Window as a permanent funding source created a moral hazard problem. It also encouraged illiquid banks to delay asset disposals, cost-cutting measures and the general conservation of cash in their day-to-day operations thereby making it even more likely that the regulator will eventually turn off the tap and bring down the hammer.
and:

realmen:
“If care is not taken, the envisaged Asset Management Company could exacerbate the moral hazard problem. Our dysfunctional legal system is now being put to the test again. Unfortunately, the patient might die long before we resolve a suit on who has the authority to give him the required medication.

DD was finished, now he's back again. . . . the evidence shows that his problem was mental, not physical. . . . I am not a psychologist, hence I can only judge him on his physical ability. . . . .

debosky: No - With Essien and Mikel and Matic, you DON'T need another DM - the ones at present can do the job for the foreseeable future.
Am not enamoured with Mikel in the diamond. He is too slow to stop the counterattacks. Matic remains to be seen. He's nice technically, but does he have the energy, strength and positional ability of a DM? Question mark. Essien can be let loose to perhaps better effect on the right-side of the diamond. Hence I say sell Mikel and buy another DM. It also helps not having two African nuccas in the same position cos when ANC comes, you are left with no one.

debosky: Maybe you need this. . . but even that is doubtful with the young talent coming through.  Personally what Chelski needs is a maverick Winger who can do damage when the 'machine' is failing to produce
First things first, we will not be buying any wingers in the near future cos of the diamond formation. At most, we will buy a floating forward like Anelka and Kalou. We already have the best winger in Holland (Miroslav Stoch) but I fear he will not be getting a place in the near future cos of his position.

We def need a right-sided midfielder. Ballack is on his last legs, no one else can play there except Essien who is already occupied at DM. Like I said, Jack Collison is the one for that position. He has the technique of a central midfielder with the pace of a winger when he needs to pull wide, plus he's strong and energetic.

BTW Crizzle, the wording of your poll is incorrect.



Can Portsmouth get 3 points:


(1.) Yes - Correct

(2.) No - That means they can still get a draw

(3.) They'll draw - is a subset of (2.)


(2.) and (3.) are not mutually exclusive.

Rewind to her original quote:

JeSoul:
And how is that "dialogue" working out so far for him and the US? Iran continues to march on forward completely unfazed towards forging and carving out their own space in the nuclear echelon, while taunting, daring and wagging their tongues at the US, Britian and the west, brandishing their defiance with brazen insolence.

Yes, dialogue is certainly working just fine.
Alright darling, please suggest an effective "non-dialogue" approach to dealing with Iran considering sanctions are already in effect, and considering the US military resources are overstretched and political will (both in US and Europe as well as Middle East) has been eroded by the impeachable lies that Bush and Blair told to get into Iraq.

I await your suggestion.

How the fluck can we talk about effecting a resolution to the Iran crisis without assessing our current capabilities and where we stand (or rather, where George Bush has left us)?

Di Santo is crap! I would not even compare him to a Carlos Vela. I have seen his games for Blackburn and if thats who you hope would fill Drogba or Anelka's shoes then i'm sorry. That dude just doesn't know where the goal is and even for a young'n his goal scoring record is awful. By the way whatever happened to Sturridge?[/quote]Calm down bros. . . . Di Santo has proven quality. . . even the Blackburn fans love his performances, regardless of goal drought. . . . goals will come with time as he matures. . . . he has the quick feet, the speed, the height, strength and heading ability. . . . all thats needed is confidence. . . . have you ever wondered why he keeps benching Kalinic, Roberts and McCarthy despite scoring only one goal so far. . . . his performances have been good, besides the goals.

Anelka and Drogs will last for the next 2 years easy. . . . Im loathe to break up that partnership. . . what we need is someone who is happy on the bench, but competent when called into action eg Kalou and DiSanto. . . . I would hate for Aguero to come in and drop Anelka to the bench. . . . I dont think Drogs would even enjoy playing with Aguero. . . . In Drogbas whole professional history, he has never formed a partnership with another striker. . . . Anelka is the first. . . . and thats cos Anelka is intelligent, unselifsh and hardworking. . . . Drogs wont have the same relationship with greedy Aguero. . . . Luis Suarez is a different story cos Suarez can play as a wide-forward if need be. . . . however, me thinks Kalou and Di Santo can serve as competent back-ups for the next 2 years of the ban easily.

so how did u get to know the answer to your question?
1) its either u checked up ( which was my initial suggestion)
2) u took my post as correct

either way, the response to your question came from me
You are a mugu. . . . I asked a question, and you answered a different question. I put it down to your poor comprehension of the English language.


Summary:

Ibime: Debo, claiming that Berba scored 23 goals in two seasons implies that Berba scored ave 11.5 goals per season

TKB: Ibime is a dunce. The statistics show Berba scored 23 goals in 06/07 and 23 goals in 07/08

Ibime: Thats not what I was asking.

Debo: Ibime, you are right. I should have said 23 goals per season for two seasons.

Ibime: I thought so.

TKB: STFU, Berba scored 23 goals in 06/07 and 23 goals in 07/08. You should have checked before opening ya stinking mouth.

Ibime: I dont think this muthaphucka understands simple English.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Manchester United Fan Thread by Ibime(m): 1:10pm On Dec 15, 2009
Berbatov is a static pivot. His kind of player can only play as a striker.

He cannot play attacking midfield like Zidane.

Reason is, his greatest strength is playing with his back to the defender.

Berbatov scored 23 goals in 06/07 season
Berbatov scored 23 goals in 07/08 season

so what the fck is ambigous in this?
so where are u getting your 11.5 goals per season from?
olodo oshi

Ibime use your head b4 u post
You are a dolt. . . . . FFS, I did not run to check Berbas stats. . . . I am asking him what information his statement conveys. . . . that Berba scored 11.5 goals per season or that he scored 23 goals per season?. . . .


According to Debosky:

debosky:
There is some ambiguity, I should have said he scored 23 goals per season for 2 consecutive seasons.
Quod erat demonstrandum
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Manchester United Fan Thread by Ibime(m): 12:21pm On Dec 15, 2009
tkb417:
he aggregated 23 goals back to back for spurs

so what is ambigous in that?
Nucca STFU!!!

These statements are very ambiguous:


debosky:
You can't score 23 goals in 2 consecutive seasons in the EPL playing as a STRIKER and not be a striker.
debosky:
I don't agree with your analysis - if you 'roam' all over the place you don't score 23 goals.

You cannot consistently score 20+ goals if you are all over the place
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Chelsea Fans Thread : Winners of the FA Cup And League Winners 09/10 by Ibime(m): 12:16pm On Dec 15, 2009
@ all,

A new stiker is not important for us this transfer window.

Anelka and Drogs will last the next two years, and we have Di Santo growing into a good striker, plus Kalou. That said, I wouldnt mind Luis Suarez cos he is versatile.

What we need is another DM, preferrably to replace Mikel. Mikel does not have the legs to play this diamond formation, he was more suited to the previous 4-3-3. In this new system, a DM must have decent pace, cos his remit is to stop counterattcks when our fullbacks go too far forward on the overlap. I suggest the Spanish boy at Benfica who flopped (or wasnt given a chance) at Real Madrid - Javi Garcia. We can even take Flamini, Matuidi or any other cheap option.

We also need a right-sided central midfielder (or two ) to replace Ballack who is on his last legs. The two boys from West Ham - Jack Collison and Junior Stanislas will be perfect for this role.


Thats all we need.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Manchester United Fan Thread by Ibime(m): 12:07pm On Dec 15, 2009
@ Debo,

Are you saying Dimi scored 23 goals in back to back seasons, or are you saying he scored an aggregate 23 goals over the course of two seasons. Disambiguate.

Balderdash . . . you shoulda recognized that was the sole and distinct quality of the response you just posted  tongue

I have said the default position whenever anyone dares to criticize the chosen anointed one aka Obama, is to declare "well what about Bush/Republicans". Bush did a terrible job as did the Reps when they were in power. BUT this thread is about Obama's decisions not George Bush's failures. And I replied Kay who specifically lauded Obama's "dialogue" route, pointing out it does not work. Shikena. Geez, the fervor with which Obamabots jump to his defense is just nauseating sometimes.
Imagine a local girl like yourself lauding the quality of a common word like balderdash. . . . .you can take the girl out of the village to Yankee, but you can never take the bush out of the girl. . . no matter how yankeefied one may get, it is obvious that your formative education was subpar.  tongue tongue tongue

now @ topic,

It is not surprising to see Republicans adopting an ephemeral view of politics. . . . everything in politics has precedent, and Obama must work within the limitations of the political, economic and military leverage beqeathed to him by George Dubya. . . . my statement stands that with George Bush's whittling down of military and political leverage, there is not much Yankee can do about the Iran situation. . . . this was the case even before Obama started in office. . . . Israel even had to suggest to Bush that to take the sting out of the situation, Israel should bare the burden of taking out the nuclear facilities in Iran. . . . . that still remains the action plan for Iran. . . . can the honourable Je Soul proffer a better solution, instead of yarning megedefegede?

Ibime:
Can you compare the 4 quarters of this year with each other rather than last year though? The argument remains that credit-lending slowed down considerably this year. It is also imperative to compare 2nd Q this year with 2nd Q last year. Both these Q's belong to Soludo. This would filter the noise of the general downturn, and help you point the finger more exclusively at Sanusi.
Remii:
People are used to the 2007 and 2008 period when credit was growing at between 70 per cent and 80 per cent, the bulk of which was going to stockbrokers and to people who should not have received credit in the first place. But the banks were giving them because they were not compelled to make provisions.

”Now, they are being very careful. If they are not convinced that you can pay, they will not lend to you. A growth of 20 per cent is not a credit crunch.

According to the CBN‘s Economic Report for the Second Quarter of 2009, “At N5.7tn, aggregate banking system credit (net) to the domestic economy increased by 17.8 per cent in the second quarter of 2009, as against the decline of 2.6 per cent in the preceding quarte
It said, ”Banking system‘s credit to the private sector rose by 3.6 per cent to N8.3tn, compared with the increase of 1.3 per cent in the preceding quarter.”
