@ topic,

It should depend on the age of the children, no be so?

Most right-thinking women would wanna spend time with the kids during their formative years and dont need to be told to cut their working hours down.

The false amnesty which caters to criminals and ignores the freedom fighters is starting to bear fruit.

BTW, where were the confra boys when all this was taking place?

Dem Uniport boiz love making too much noise, but when yawa gas they are nowhere to be found.

Tayo-D,

Is US GDP not inflated by borrowing?

Part of GDP is made exclusively from the budget (which is running at deficit).

Come up with another excuse or just admit to using the wrong terminology.
Politics › Re: Niger Delta: Fg Succumbs, Meets With Aaron Team by Ibime(m): 1:17am On Nov 16, 2009
Okah should not be fooled into physically attending the meeting after his comments on Al-Jazeera lest he's interned by the SS again.

The Aaron team can discuss what they need to discuss without Okah being present.

In all honesty, I think Yara is just buying time here. Theres no sincerity of purpose. The demands of the Aaron team are only slightly different to the recommendations of the Ledum Mitee committee. And Ledum Mittee's proposals have not been given even a second thought by Yar'Adull.

Na wah for you o. So now you know what I meant to say? It's funny that you are now talking about revisions only after settling down to understand what I said in the first place.

I can see that you got hung up on the phrase "eat deeper into". Tell me, is that phrase a technical economic term? If it is not, why then didn't you ask for explanation before going a-swearing on a tangent? Try chill out next time, okay?[/quote]Nah bros. . . . your revisionism isnt worth wasting time upon. . . . you say you meant GDP, not budget because US budget is inflated by external borrowing. . . . isnt GDP also boosted by borrowing in the US? . . . . so whats your point really? . . . come up with a better excuse, let me mull over it. .  . .perhaps I'll give you a pass mark if you come up with anything sensible.  grin

[quote author=Tayo-D link=topic=351718.msg4932660#msg4932660 date=1258328124]@Ibime,
Let me put this in a simple way that even you will understand. The best way to understand the cost of a product is to compare it to production. The cost of my health insureance premium needs to be compared to my wages, and not the money I will spend that month from my salary as well as my credit cards. Comparing the entitlement cost to GDP represents the former while comparing it to the budget represents the latter.[/quote]Nah bruv. . . . drop all these circumlocutory arguments. . . . you never meant to express Govt production as a percentage of GDP. . . . you meant to express Govt expenditure as a percentage of budget. . . . any revision is a practice in self-deceit.

I'm not an Economist but I know BS when I smell one.  YOur swearing does not make you right you know?

I very well know the difference between budget and GDP.  To a smart person who is interested in real cost and not a made up one, the right way to judge any govt program should be on the backdrop of the GDP.  Budgets are based on an estimated guess of govt income and can be propped up by borrowing.  GDP on the other hand gives a better idea of the prosperity of the nation.  That should be pof greater concern to anyone.

And by the way, here is a quote by an expert who I'm sure knows better than you.  He rightly compares the cost of those programs to the GDP and not the budget.

Peter Orszag is no conservative ideologue. The head of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) was a scholar at the liberal Brookings Institution before being picked for his current position by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. Yet, Mr. Orszag recently warned that the rising cost of federal entitlement programs, particularly Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, poses a grave threat to America's economic future.

According to Mr. Orszag, without dramatic reform, the cost of those three programs alone will rise from 18 percent of GDP today to 28 percent by the middle of this century and as much as 35 percent soon thereafter.

That means that just three federal government programs will be consuming between a quarter and a third of everything this country produces.
http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/33579[/quote]You must be joking bros. . .  .you made a statement of healthcare spending eating into something. . . . .you were obviously talking about expenditure, not production. . . . but erronously used GDP instead of budget.

As I said:

Ibime:
FFS, any extra Government expenditure increases GDP, not eat it up.
Foreign Affairs › Re: What's Wrong With Socialism? by Ibime(m): 12:02am On Nov 16, 2009
[quote author=Tayo-D link=topic=351718.msg4932456#msg4932456 date=1258325592]Last I checked, entitlement programs have eaten deep into the GDP. Even if the status quo is maintained, these programs are forecast to eat even deeper. Imagine what will happen with this entitlement monstrosity called universal healthcare.[/quote]And you wonder why I always dismiss your rants in customarily curt fashion. . . . what you mean to say is that the expenditure eats deep into the budget. . . . FFS, any extra Government expenditure increases GDP, not eat it up.

whatever they do, the river that runs through Woji area through rumubiakani pass that mini okoro police station must be cleaned and made accessible to THE PEOPLE for recreational purposes. That's where I love smoking in PH. Too bad you can't swim in it cause it's too dirty but just sitting in the sand by the river close to Bush bar is cool crazy!! Bush bar. Damn! That's a crazy spot in Woji.
Woji is an Ikwerre land. If the conspiracy theorists are to be believed, this beautification project is only aimed at clearing out the Riverine peeps from PH. This video makes me wonder whether:

(a.) The people have been compensated.

or

(b.) They were compensated, but refused to move out.


It can only be one of the two, otherwise this is forced eviction.


Abagworo:
no way! most of those people do not own the land.they are not even from rivers state.government should just relocate them to etche.however if anyone has evidence of land acquisition he should be fully compensated.
Ngofaka is an Okrika land. . . . them peops are from Rivers State.

It is so wonderful seeing the unadulterated joy on these young Swiss boys faces having slain Goliath. Their work has been rewarded.

THANK YOU SWITZERLAND!!!


Shame on all those who supported these age-cheats. God is not mocked. The 16 year-olds overcame the 25-year olds. I hope this defeat hurts you people well well. Nama shobiri.


BTW, TB Joshua should come and explain why he got his prediction wrong.


Perfect weekend for me. Super-Eagles qualify, and Golden Eaglets get their comeuppance. And where are those idiots who said we should send the eaglets to Kenya to play for us. The idiots cant even beat 16 year old boys from Switzerland, talkless of Kenya.

Erm can Modenine like just grow up please.
It's obvious he's looking for cheap publicity . . . first he jacks M.I's style, now he calls himself 'Rap Messiah'
He needs to concentrate on his work and stop being a stupid attention seeker.

I understand how hard it is for him to sell records these days . . . but taking shots at M.I makes you more than just a hater, it makes you a bitch too.

Infact I'm tired of talking bout this, M.I phrased it properly

Coming at me is the only way you'll ever approach star - Somebody Wants to Die
MI doesnt own any style, so shut it. Even MI borrowed his style from Kanye and Lil Wayne. No style is original. Even Biggie borrowed Bone Thugs style once upon a time.

Modey has ability to use any style he chooses.

Just listening to Modey's template style of rhyming, I can tell he was influenced by Smiff N Wessun and Black moon in the early to mid-90's.

He also has many other influences, and can switch up his style anytime he pleases.

What a savage beating Cotto took tonight. . . . Pac-man just too fast for him. . . . his corner should have pulled him out in the 7th for his health. . . . still, as he survived to the 12th, the referee should have let him finish and gain the pride of only losing on points. . . .

Mayweather must be quaking in his boots. . . . what is Mayweather doing going after Shane Mosley when Cotto has already dealt with Mosley severely. . . . Mosley is not in Cotto's class talkless of Mayweather. . . . Pac-man will surely defeat pretty boy.

This Obama is a socialist hogwash is just tiring. The idea that the state centralising the provision of healthcare to its citizens is a slippery road down to tyranny is bizarre. If the absence of Govt run social programs is the hallmark of individual liberty, countries like Nigeria would be a paradise.

Sports › Manny Pacqiao beats Miguel Cotto! by Ibime(op): 12:22am On Nov 15, 2009
Alright fight fans, lets get ready to rumble.

Its the best match-up of the year. No hype this time. Both these cats are really worthy of the name.

The fight will be on Sky Sports1 at 2am UK time. All others can tune in on sopcast or whatever.

We have the no holds barred knock-out king Miguel Cotto against the pound for pound best Pacqiao.

Cotto has been ma favourite fighter for the last 3 years, but I fear Manny may have too much speed for him.

So whos staying up for this?
