visiting nl depends on your motive. My two main reasons of visiting nl is to[b] gain knowledge and pleasure[/b]. And the knowledge helps me a lot in shaping my reasoning

Thats because you are stupidddddd to begin with.

I have not gained one single thing from NL, because I am way better than 99.9% of people on this NL; after all, in my real life, i only engage Asians, Indians, Whites and very very very very few Blacks.

Anyway, i understand your point. Good luck.

kasiem:
lol, death can be near or far,but, my utmost desire is to accomplish my earthly mission; to set a mark in the sands of time.

No one that visits NL as often as you do has ever done that. And you wont be the first, that I can assure you.

AjanleKoko:
I understand you clearly, and am not trying to troll.
I'm just asking, how will a government that is not united by any common purpose be able to establish a firm foundation that will put us on the path to greatness? a polity characterized by endless power struggles? In the last four years, the polity has been characterized by post-election disputes, civil unrest, political instability and horse trading right at the very centre. How will a government be able to put any reasonable plans on execution path, if they cannot even guarantee the stability of their own regime? That's what i am asking.

What do you mean?

This is not a strictly Nigerian problem. It is human nature, all over the world, to engage in "endless power struggles."

a year closer to your death


perspective!

^^^^

You mean Deinde is Ibo?

^^^

Shouldnt you be helping our Ibo brothers with their English?

[quote author=Jenifa_ link=topic=708741.msg8682152#msg8682152 date=1310192827]I definitely do not think that there is a single most accomplished person in Nigeria or any particular country. People have different areas of interest and the accomplished ones excel at it.
you should try rewatching the video.  at min 17:45, the only other woman Ngozi mentions is a Adenike Ogunlesi. a Yoruba woman.[/quote]Sup Jenifa?

ZnO:
Lol Ngozi was even in Brookings Institution at some point

Harvard
MIT
WORLD BANK
Brookings
World BANK
No Nigerian, dead or living, has beaten that.

you are a doofus

Akeem bello osagie, an Edo/Yoruba man, has more than that.

Ever heard of him?

The only Nigerian to have, ever , attended the three best schools in the world.

ZnO:
Believe whatever frigging thing you like. I give no rats ar.se to any of your belief because you are one damn inconsequential, faceless entity.  BTW, if you claim any Yoruba woman is more accomplished than Ngozi, please provide the person's name so we can clap for her.

I dont think you are professor, maybe a janitor . I only respect people with a 30 on the MCAT or 720 on the GMAT or a750+ average on the GREs, which you are incapable of getting.

I really pity you. you dimwit.

Frustrated much?

^^^^

that is why i like oyinbo journalists, unlike the stupidddddd incompetent journalists we have in nigeria

ZnO:
And on what basis do you compare her with Ngozi when you are the only one who know her? You want to b ethe judge and the jury at the same time?
You expect me to participate in such a comparison?
Well, I put it to you that you are lying. There is no such person as you claim. Thank you

I dont know any Ibo man/woman/child 'hydroponicist or whatever hydro they may specialize' in dead or alive that is this impressive:

Adebayo Ogunlesi is currently Chairman and Managing Partner of Global Infrastructure Partners, a $5.64 billion joint venture formed by Credit Suisse and General Electric. Prior to his current role, he was Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Client Officer of Credit Suisse, based in New York. He previously served as a member of Credit Suisse’s Executive Board and Management Council and chaired the Chairman’s Board. Previously, he was the Global Head of Investment Banking at Credit Suisse. Since joining Credit Suisse in 1983, Mr. Ogunlesi has advised clients on strategic transactions and financings in a broad range of industries and has worked on transactions in North and South America, the Caribbean, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. He recently[when?] acquired the London Gatwick Airport in a deal worth £1.455 billion.[citation needed]
Prior to joining Credit Suisse, Mr. Ogunlesi was an attorney in the corporate practice group of the New York law firm of Cravath, Swaine & Moore. From 1980-81 he served as a law clerk to Associate Justice Thurgood Marshall of the United States Supreme Court.
Mr. Ogunlesi attended the prestigious Kings College Lagos, Nigeria after which he received his B.A. with first class honors in Philosophy, Politics and Economics, from Oxford University, his J.D. magna cumlaude, from Harvard Law School and his M.B.A. from the Harvard Business School. He is a member of the District of Columbia Bar Association. He was a lecturer at Harvard Law School and the Yale School of Organization and Management, where he taught a course on transnational investment projects in emerging countries

Your fair sense of comparison is in question. You are comparing someone who has proven track record -WB MD vs a non tenured assistant professor. If her dozier is rejected after 6 years, she crumbles and starts from square one. Iweala's pension alone is enough to last her entire life while a non tenured prof does have not such perks. What path is arguably superior? WB MD who has more clout, experience, money, influence and power  vs assistant prof whose career is dependent on being confirmed as a tenured prof in 6-7 years time?

You are basing Iweala's worth on the fact that she works at the World Bank. Obtaining a tenured position is actually more difficult than working at the World bank. Any dooofus can work at the World bank. the next Word Bank head/boss is going to be Hillary Clinton, a lawyer, who would never be considered for any Finance position job in her home country. The World bank isnt that spectacular as you are making it sound, maybe to you Ibos sha. To the rest of the world, it is just another sub-par institution eagerly working to exploit the stupidity of third world countries for the benefit of the more prosperous western countries.

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=708741.msg8674410#msg8674410 date=1310094926]She basically hit the nail on the head. I'm content with her analysis of corruption, Africa and the other side.[/quote]there is nothing new in what she said, we've known that from time. She is overrated and she lacks the passion to move Nigeria forward.

Eleni Gabre has better credentials and she has had more impact than Okonjo iweala.

Long live EGM

Who is more impressive?

How you manage your accounts,

Proof of address,
Proof of stable source(s) of income, etc

His university education was in the United States of America. He studied Business Administration and Finance at the State University New York, in Buffalo, New York graduating with a Bachelors of Science. His MBA was in Operations Research and Marketing with a concentration in Finance at the Governor’s State University, Park Forest, Illinois.

I became suspicious after adding everything he declared. It was just impossible for someone who was not a stellar student to have achieved so much in just a short period. The average MBA grad from Harvard ( the 'bestest' MBA school in the world) makes[b] 3.2 million dollars in 20 years[/b]. Ajimobi has done better than the top 1% of all Harvard MBA grads combined. Its either he is a genius or a big time crook.

Either ways, his asset declaration is fraught with a lot of untruths and he should be thoroughly investigated and sent to jail if found to have falsified the real worth of his assets.

Ajimobi living in a N 250 Million mansion? yeah right.

There is a saying in Lagos: If you cant make it during the Babangida years, You will never make it in Nigeria

Simply the best.


Sai IBB.

Please, educate me.

How do you build up your credit in the UK/US [b]without a bank accoun[/b]t?

having a bank account is not how you build credit.

It is more complicated than that.

How do you build up your credit in the UK/US without a bank account?

I dont care how DK is going to try to rationalize Ajimobi's worth. To me he is a thief. Period.

Okay, he has credit to buy a 1.5 million house in the US. The question is hwen did he buy the house

How was he able to finance a 450 000 pounds house in the UK?

When did a land in a very remote part of Oyo worth more than N 1 M per care

Let him produce his past 5 tax returns in the US and UK

let him show proof that he actually pays property tax on his properties in Nigeria.

A thief is a thief. Ajimobi is a thief.
