'Of all time' 'At the moment' Both are two different things. Of all time, I will pick Georeg Weah, at the moment, and since Weah, Samuel Eto'o. |

All the points mentioned are very true and good. Nos 1 and 5 are especially very important. But I think this should be in careers section. |
For those who argue that SLS is not fit to be a CBN governor because he has a history of engagement in socio-political and even ethnic and religious commentaries, this is most laughable. In as much as that doesn't diminish his knowledge of banking and economics, then there is absolutely nothing wrong in engaging in those areas of debate. If anything, he should be commended for being versatile enough to know much about politics, history, philosophy, religion, culture etc despite being a top banker. I have read over 30 of SLS' writings from 1998-2005 and I'm marvelled at his depth of knowledge in virtually every field of knowledge. Even on NL here we have people that are versed in so many aspects of knowledge, and that surely doesn't mean that they are less capable of handling taks in their primary field. I like to use this example in my analyses elsewhere: Chief Bola Ige, with much respect, was a core pan-Yoruba man, a man who believed in the supremacy of Yoruba race and never hid it, but he was made Minister of Justice and AGF not of Yoruba nation but of multi-ethnic Nigeria, and nobody raised issues on whether the man will be able to do justice to every Nigerian, why then do we have issues with a man because he defended his tribe in the past? There are strong points in Ekeh's submissions no doubt, but more than anything, it shows the ranting of a man that had once been matched, if not finished, by an ordinary banker in his terrain - intellectual discourse. |
Wow, I missed this thread when it was hot as I had been inactive on NL in the last couple of weeks. I came across this Prof Ekeh's expose on Sanusi few days ago while doing some work on the internet, and not surprisingly, it has made it to NL. I'm planning to write an equally comprehensive rejoinder to that piece. Meanwhile, it is necessary to tell you guys here that the author of that article, Professor Peter Ekeh, no doubt an intellectual, has not been in good terms with Sanusi prior to SLS's becoming CBN boss. Both of them engaged in hot debates around 2001. It bias and past grudge cannot be ruled out from Ekeh's write-up. He should thank God that SLS, as CBN governor, will surely not respond to his tirade as he did in 2001. He should continue to have a field day.

Good observation. Don't think that's brainer though. Comment is a subset of view. If you must comment, you must first view, but you can view and not comment. So surely, views will be greater than comments. I opened many threads and don't comment. Not to mention the hundreds of people taht come to NL but are not members. |
My colleague, an ex-Zenith staff, was telling me some days ago that the bank's IT has banned NL from their systems, meaning you cannot log on to NL from Zenith Bank systems. Same is happening in my company and many other companies for facebook. This could mean that many Zenith staff visit NL, thereby constituting a distraction. Or possibly because of insider stories about Zenith that go on here. Either case, NL is becoming a force to reckon with. Many companies' IT and HR departments can no longer afford to ignore NL. |
It is on NL that I know that Pastor Adeboye, IBB, Bill Gates, Kanu, Prof Jega(VC), Jose Mourinho etc are in Corporate Nigeria. |

Write a lot, with almost 100 articles published in newspapers and online news sites since 2003. I decided to start blogging to archive some of my writings: http://jarus.blog.com/ |
Had same issues. Thought it was my system, before later giving up. |
[quote author=Ag.sam link=topic=7470.msg6035164#msg6035164 date=1273835702]NYSC is a WASTE of one's precious time. Its a scheme in my view, that scatters one's plan in life. I was working before I came for service but cos of NYSC am off job without compensation of any sort. I was undergoing professional training where I was working and as well had the opprtunity of working for and meeting top men in Abuja, but NYSC brought me to Lagos and left me at the mercy of a firm where I sit Ideal each day without adding any value to my life and knowledge. NYSC nearly left me on the streets cos of not having an accomodation in Lagos. As I write these comments am in the office am posted to doing nothing but surf the internet and read books. Its boring, its annoying and could be disheartning and frustrating. Well if u have your way I suggest u dont try this joke called NYSC cos u could regret. But if u have got political ambitions, u could go ahead. I hope to relocate to Abuja soon though but I must tell u its not worth it.[/quote]Shebi u dey under AC for your office, get internet and books to read. Maybe if u had been in Gudu, on Niger republic border, in Sokoto state, you would have been better off ![]() |
@topic, Nice story. Got so many simple, but illuminating stories like that. As for me, I try to make it a habit to read Qur'an at least 10 verses per day, but admittedly, I've been quite unserious these days. Goes three days these days without reading Qur'an which is very bad. Only hope this story will jolt me back. |
Dis Guy:I'm not sure children of other people will be better than saraki children. Moreso he has been installing other people's children in govt since 70's and now his children, as if they are also not Kwarans. This argument may sound Adedibu-esque but I personally care less about whoever rules. |
This is the picture that got my attention. This is one aspect of the Islamic religion that baffles me at times. The religion, at the most critical moment of a life cycle apparently reminds the devout of futility of wealth. So, how come there are still Muslim thieves in public offices in Nigeria? I can't understand it . To think that a president of Nigeria will be buried in the most ordinary of graves as shown in this picture, calls on Muslims to remember this aspect of their faith while in high office.Thanks, OnlyTruth, for reminding us this. It's very saddening. I've been quite emotional since YRD's illness and lost my critical self. few days to YRD's death, I wrote one quite emotional piece out of my concern: http://www.thisdayonline.com/nview.php?id=170883&d=2010-04-13 I can't hold back tears seeing the man dead. Man is very forgetful. After leaving that graveside, and back into the comfort of their homes/offices, our Muslim politicians/leaders will forget, and go back to their bad, corrupt ways. His death really touched me as a person, and shed tears anytime I saw the pictures, including this morning. If only we Muslims can learn from this. |

CyberG:Let this man rest in peace please. Yar'Adua's corpse was covered through-out and never even shown. Was there no lying-in-state? Is it against the muslim law? Awolowo died when I was much younger but there was lying-in-state and his face was shown. So, why was Yaradua covered throughout, yet no autopsy report? Will Nigerians ever be honest or must everything be 419?? Wuru-wuru? The more you look the less you see?Lying in state ko, lying-in-nation ni. Being a Muslim, he was buried Islamic way. Pure and simple. I don't know anywhere in Nigeria's constitution that says you must do LIS for a president, or see his face. His religious belief must be respected. If that is what you call wuruwuru, then I'm very sorry for you. |

Why did this thread stop so abruptly? I'm enjoying it. |

Let me start by saying that Muslims prefer to use 'believe' rather than 'accept'. Compare 'Accept Jesus' as Christians say. We prefer to use 'accept Islam'. That noted, by accepting Muhammad(PBUH), I want to believe you mean, becoming a Muslim. You don't accept Mohamamed in isolation, you believe in Islam altogether. This means you have to believe in Allah as your creator, believe in the messengership and prophetship of Prophet Mohammed and other prophets. You take guidance from the Qur'an. Practically, after the mind work(belief), then you need to utter, with conviction the Kalimah i.e that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and Prophet Mohammed is His messenger. With these you are alreday a Muslim and have 'accepted Mohammed', to use your word. Then follows practical aspects, praying, keeping to Allah's Dos and refraining from His Don'ts. |
RICHIE BOI:Muhtar is not ex-President Shagari's son. They are from same village, and I think same family though. mikeansy:Exactly. I don't think GJ and Bukola Saraki are that much in good terms. Walert:Yar'adua is from North-West, not North-Central. On Ribadu, I was just discussing this with my colleague here who is seriously and emotionally canvassing for a Ribadu Vice-Presidency. Since Idi-Agbon, the post of VP has largely been figure head, save Atiku that tried to bring vibrancy and some independence to that position. I don't think Ribadu can do much as a VP. VP seems like a spare tyre position. If not presidency itself, I prefer to see him in EFCC again. |
snowdrops:Exactly my belief too. |
I think it was weather, not Aero. I was already on board Kaduna-Lagos Chachangi at the same time until we were told to stay back in Kaduna that Lagos weather was inclement at the time. We got to Lag at about 2.30 and still raining. |
