HNosegbe: Where's Oby Ezekwesili, Madam Due Process?

Not convinced.

Afam4eva: I'm wondering why you separated him though. It's an insult to others on the list. But it's ok.

I separated because the gap is so wide.

Meanwhile, I ignited same argument on facebook, and people are making strong case for Danjuma Goje (ex-Gombe)

Afam4eva: The thing surprise me oo. Aregbesola ke? I didn't even see Fashola on the list.

Wear you glasses and read the first sentence again.

ENDTIMES: I thought I was alone on this. Hmmm!
Very very strange!

Really end-time.

To me, Fashola is the best public officer Nigeria has produced since return to civil rule in 1999

Others that posted (post) decent performance (by our low standard in Nigeria), by my reckoning:

1, Umaru Yar'adua (reversal of VAT, refinery sale, price hike, asset declaration etc)
2, Barth Nnaji (decent effort in power reforms)
3, Sule Lamido (good capital projects efforts, even if a bad politician)
4, Rotimi Ameachi (Decent capital projects efforts in his state)
5, Godswill Akpaebo ( Even if I don't like his politics, I admit he tried for his state. I've been to his state; best raod network of all the about Nigerian states I have visited)
6, Nasir el-Rufai (Not his biggest fan either, but I salute his efforts in FCT)
7, Nuhu Ribadu (You can argue he was selective, but you can't argue his victims were innocent. Plus he returned $15m Ibori bribe)
8, Lamido Sanusi (I commend his work in CBN)
9, Charles Soludo (His attention to ethics may be questionable, but you can't fault his achievement in terms of strenghtening our financial system)
10. Attahiru Bafarawa (I served in Sokoto state,and msut confess he did well for hsi people in terms of capital projects. Good roads everywhere)
11, Rauf Aregbesola (You can fault his politics - can be loud-mouthed, intervening in what doesn't concern him - but you can hardly deny his commitment to the uplift of his people. I was in Osun in August and the whole state looked like one big construction yard, road projects everywhere, despite meagre resources)
12, Ifeuko Omoigui (Decent and silent reform in FIRS; enlarged revenue base for Nigeria)
13, Donald Duke: Decent performance, mature leader


These are the guys I can give pass mark (50%) of all the public officers (elected or appointed) since 1999. There are others I have herad or read about (e.g Kayode Fayemi, Rochas Okorocha, Peter Obi), but I'm not convinced yet.


Strictly my opinion as a watcher of events in the country.

and she can tweet couple of hours after her husband of three weeks was brutally murdered?

Social media is turning into another thing. ETT

It's a fantastic book. I have read it.

Studied economics.

Katsumoto: That list was fine until you included Adebayor.

Replace Adebayor with KPB

KFP is just a one season wonder.

seapson: make i hear word jooor,how many goals can he count to his name after d 7 yrs.midfielder indeed

Cannavaro didn't score goals before winning WPOTY 2006. You don't need to score goals before your work is recognized. Scoring goal is jusst a plus for defensive midfielder.

Sagamite:


KPB will definitely be in my Top 7.

In 2013? What are the highlights of his performance this year?

As for Muntari, I have never doubted his quality, but I have not watched him in recent time.

My Top 10 African Players Oct 2012-Sep2013

1, Mikel
2, Yaya
3, Moses
4, Pierre Augyebang
5, Mohammed Salah
6, Alain Traore
7, Emmanuel Emenike
8, Jonathan Pitriopa
9, Stephne Sessegnon
10, Emmanuel Adebayour

Sagamite: Oya put your own list make we see.

Saga, I don't know what you're sniffing these days. One Ghanaian listed Ghanaians and interspersed it with few others and call it Africa's Best 11, and you endorse.

Imagine saying KPB is Africa's best. He was never and is not Africa's best. He had his best season 2 seasons ago in ACM, andd even at his peak that season, he wasn't Africa's best that year. He was later shipped to Schalke, and here in 2013, you agree such a player is Africa's best.

The list is so crappy that I didn't bother to reply it, because I didn't even know where to start as it's nonsense from beginning to end.

fijiano202: am not trying to mock anybody or team,am just starting the obvious,Some nigerian fans are really delusional,why would they use the uefa champ lge of 2002 to give award in 2013,secondly do u remeber 2012/2013 was a year to forget for chelsea,starting the league as European champions but not qualifying in an embarassing manner by setting a new Record as 1st champions to be eliminated in the group stage although winning the uefa cup is a morale booster but Moses Perfomance in the league and uefa cup is better than mikel and this may be a big hiccup for mikel due to the fact that people hardly watch europa cup around the world due to UCL,so he may not be voted on the uefa cup glory.Secondly CAF POTY awards winner are voted by captain and coaches and that would be highly influence by individual popularity and performance,Toure is more popular and better than Mikel,am sure some coaches in Africa may not have heard of Mikel or Moses compare to yaya popularity,so i believe its really hard to vote Mikel as winner

Fair analysis. But a big gaffe: there is no coach in the world (not just Africa) who deosnt know Mikel.any coach that doesn't know there is a player called Mikel Obi doesn't have business coaching. Here is someone that has played for Chelsea(not Enyimba) for 7 years, played in UCL final etc.

[quote author=Cele-pope]The useless CAF don't use AFCON as a perimeter in reaching who is to be crowned but instead depend on their club performance and not even the player's performance.That says a lot why Jay jay Okocha my bro never won the coveted award[/quote]Arguments like these annoy me. CAF doesn't give people PotY award, coaches and captains of 56 countries in Africa vote. The votes are published.

Yes, I believe so.

Although I believe he should have more playing time. It doesn't speak well that Africa's best player will not be a first team player in a club like Chelsea.

Na wa o. It now appears there is no global negative news that will not have Nigeria mentioned.

Good one.

Doing next year, insha Allaah.

I recommend Naptu - untribalized and mature.

[quote author=eagle,eye]The mass media is a powerful tool, and the internet has made the world a global village.
A forum like Nairaland is gradually being recognised by the print media in Nigeria. A time will come that even foreign print media and news agencies will be lifting quote after quote from NL.[/quote]That is iPunch, a section of Punch dedicated to Social Media reports.


Meanwhile, foreign media have atually been quoting NL. There was one story by a foreign media on the scandalous 77-1 Nigeria league results where a thread on Nairaland dating back 2006 or so, was referenced.

dayokanu: Oga Jarus

You never pay my isakole oo

Shiaman. Double tuale.

I go send boys to you

Periopthalmus: Ok, @ least u jst confirmed u rigged ur way to fp.
Jst because uve bin on NL for decades simply means anything frm u gets to fp.

Tell me, sofar, wot av we gained frm dis thread other than giving u accolades?

Dont cum here and form old boy.

More than 200 viewers (that entered thru NL) have downloaded the materials. That is what they gained.

dheaven: How much was the seminar fee per participant so I can make my calculation and know if you are on the winning side.

Free.

Babzilla: U MAKE THIS SOUND LIKE U GOT RECOGNIZED BY FORBES OR SOME'

NL Fp is our own Forbes

jhydebaba: How dare u insult the president of the federal repulblic of Nigeria U don high this early morning again abi Did I hear u compare GEJ to JARUS Bros, go sleep.



@Jarus, I registered but u did not invite me

Sorry bro. We got more than 200 applicants, and we had spaces for 100. Next edition by God's grace.

mbulela: Congrats Jarus. You have done well. May your end be greater than your beginning.
On a different note, i see say me and you don quarrel? No wahala.

My broda, no quarrel jare. I go text u

deols: There is something good about it making FP. It is inspiring. Anyone who does not see that is definitely beefing.

The swags part though I share the idea of a corporate dressing at a corporate event. #justsaying


Congrats are in order..more grease to your elbow @jarus

Thanks sis. But the dreSs code was casual. Did you see the CEO of Accenture (a MNC) in just T-shirt? And others. It's not a corporate event. I wore native, the compere did, the IBTC guys did. When it's too formal, it can be boring. And it was a Saturday.

honey: i've been on NL since 2005..........

You didn't network

[quote author=Dr. Wise]Lloyd onanighon of stanbic ibtc is always looking good.[/quote]Eseosa is a great dude.

Scun: I love that. Volunteering as a mod isn't easy

Abi jare

honey: How do i get to pay my due$

6 plus active years, moderator of 2 sections, Arrowhead of many NL initiatives, and now Moderator-emeritus , NL authorities are not ingrates. They give Jarus whatever he wants, frontpage or backpage.

Periopthalmus: what are d criteria for making front page? I believe all fp topics shud b educative and open to constructive contributions and rational outputs.. There r many ceos on NL,.. Am getting to understand that popularity is 1 of d criteria..

Jarus, I no beef u bt dat guys comment of u thinking abt making fp was right, c tym wey u create thread n sharply e don show for fp..
More educative post wudnt av appeared so fast..

We dont need a sooth sayer to know u rigged ur way to fp...

Aw many jobs u don give NL?

I have paid my due on Nairaland to get anything I want.
