irecruit: NICE PICTURE, BUT DID THEY WENT TO NEW YORK JUST FOR PICTURE?

maclatunji: Please, I just want to know how God fights his battles. I have read people repeat this often on Nairaland. I am not even interested in the argument about who did what or why.

I just want a manual of how God fights his battles.

Thank you.

GenBuhari: [size=28pt]Obasanjo is a foolish, shameless, genocidal kleptomaniacal looter devoid of any patriotism or conscience[/size]

GenBuhari: why are the posts that I make that cricise Obj hidden?

mathskill: I have a simple question nairalanders.What would be your reaction if someone abused your father?

rbjimoh: This is another scheme to paint muslims in bad light. The producer of this movie well knew that that movie would be offensive arouse anger of muslims the world over, and yet they produced it. Haven't precedences shown that muslims regard prophet Mohammad with utmost sacredness? Why would this evil people trigger off another bloody outrage in the islamic world, just so they depict us as violent? Why? Can't they see that muslims wont allow their religion to be denigrated, and thats why they dont badmouth other people's faiths. I am terribly sad about this.

pato405: sincerely, I doubt if this Sanusi of a man really studied Economics. i'm beginning to think he is one of this Toronto certificate bearers. Sanusi has no economic sagacity. TOTALLY DUMB! words cant explain how disappointed I am now. Economic principles should be applied relative to social and cultural contexts in cases like this. you don't just take everything you read in the book hook, line and sinker. as a matter of fact, while all these economic strategies are not bad, they should be applied only after other related factors are considered [what scientific research will call cofounding factors - i.e 'all things being equal'] a medic will not prescribe certain medication to a patient even though it's the right medication for the ailment if the patient has certain conditions. i.e conditions described as contra-indications.

Nigeria should not be compared to other countries arbitrarily. socio-cultural dynamics differ a lot. people are busy comparing UK,japan. US etc to Nigeria forgeting that in these countries, people don't haul currencies the way most Nigerians do. they have many avenues to control money in circulation. technology in shops, supermarkets, and other business places has made it so easy to ,make payments without touching physical cash. in other words, they have gone cashless. how many Nigerians have access to e-cards, master cards, Visa cards, maestro etc or even online payment for petty things as people do on ebay and other websites?

for a developing country, this ecomnomic step sanusi is advocating is just absolutely useless. the highest denomination in UK is £50 but you hardly see it in UK. the ATM's hardly ever spin out £50 as a matter of fact I haven't seen any ATM spinning £50. the argument that N5000 is only for high volume transaction and not for the poor does not hold water. physical cash flow in Nigeria is very rapid and random, you cannot control it and thus, cannot make it a denomination exclusively for the rich. people will soon regard it as status-symbol, flaunt it, spend it whenever and where-ever. Many will board public buses and tender it in payment for a N50 fare and when challenged, they'll claim there is no other currency on them.

introducing coins is a no no. Nigerians are averse to it. if Sanusi is insisting on introducing those coins, then I don't think Obj's argument is wrong afterall. it'll surely encourage and 'foster' inflation because hauling coins is not just in the culture of the people. in Uk, you sometimes stumble into people having special purse for coins but the average Nigerian will NOT do that. it's just a cultural thing. just imagine a bus conductor with coins in 'paint bucket' or where exactly? how many of that will he need in a day? that will surely compel them to raise T-fares to the nearest naira note! and what do you call that? deflation?

lets leave coins for now. N5000 is nothing but disaster. Sanusi should pls wake up from slumber and delusion. study societal dynamics first before looking into applicable economic principles. it will increase ease of hauling physical cash and such should be discouraged from cashless policy perspective.

binbass: MUMU

afam4eva: There's another one that happens to me. I don't know is i'm the only person who experiences it.

I may be lieing down and semi-asleep and all of a sudden i start seeing strange objects. It could be snakes, someone etc. It looks so real but when i jump up to run away but only realise after some seconds that it's nothing.

Ashawo boi: MayD sue psquare? Is he 4getting we are in Nigeria where money works? He beta build up his carrier, dats a chalenge! Rather than dragin 'em 2 court 2 sink his money(if he don get)
