If you want to improve COMMERCIAL & ECONOMIC access to your area, do you invest in world class roads and rail so goods can be transported from the hinterland for export or do you spend billions on levelling an ant-hill for an airport that can take your private jet? Ask the Audience, 50/50 or phone a "cousin"

Mobolaji Johnson is alive and well....Haba!

Nigeria , we hail thee. TIME magazine panel ranks our CBN governor ahead of Sarkozy and a host of others in its 100 Most Influential people in the world and Nairalanders start branding him mediocre, terrorist, islamist etc. Since when did Nairaland become FOX News??

FYI - a large chunk of his experience  as the Global Head of Credit Risk Management at UBA for many years has been left out of the profile published on this thread. The man is not perfect, he has weaknesses and makes mistakes- Fact. But anyone who watched the Live Senate hearing, where he single handedly ripped the Senate Committee on Finance apart (using their own numbers from the Budget Office) will agree that SLS is a brilliant man. Before he challenged the system nobody had done the maths to ask how much the lawmakers in Abuja were earning per quarter. He raised it as an issue, defended his position eloquently and GEJ took action by slashing the senate packages (not enough but a start, )

Please as we debate the "functions" of a central bank (from textbooks no doubt), lets not forget the MANDATES of the CBN. The key one being financial system stability. SLS and his Deputy Governors have focused 100% on ensuring this overheated financial system returns to stability. Everyone seems to have forgotten the Magic "money doubling" stock market being fuelled by margin loans from our Banks, which if not checked by CBN would have destroyed this economy in 2009. If that remains the only thing SLS acheives in his 5 years, i think he deserves more of thanks than being branded a terrorist, haba!!

Give me OGUN state plates anytime. The Internal Generated Revenue (IGR) obsession in Lagos is about to take a new dimension.

A friend of mine complains of the same symptoms - feeling drained and tired after certain people visited him. he even gave me their details, they are often called Ngozi, Shade or Aisha and the visits often take place on Fridays after a night out

So much Venom without knowing the facts, this country thrives on misinformation and "beer parlour logic". From the post, a business deal went wrong  surely there are two sides to a story. lets see what the courts decide. Until then be slow to judge and pray you never come across an "alakoba" as you go about your business
