sayusuf: hmm.something always make me laugh.....they bh or whatever, attack, 99 percent victims are muslims, and u believe bh are muslims, and begin to insult islam...one day, u will understand..

which 99% of bh victims are muslims? Dude, you smoking something? Do muslims attend churches on sundays? is it only muslims that work for thisday newspaper or the UN or drink in beer parlours, ... All the places attacked by bh are places where u find xtians!

How many mosques has bh bombed? How many mosques services has bh driven bomb-laden vehicles into? How many emirs and alfas has bh killed? These boko sympathisers on NL. Sayusuf, you are a bh sympathiser, whether consciously or secretly.

Better stop smoking / drinking / reading whatever is making you reason from your rear end.

rabzy01: May be Jews and christians have forgiven HITLER and all NAZI members and have equally forgotten about the so called GENOCIDE. You f00l.

Dude, you don't know your history. Hitler and his Nazis were satanists, who believed in Aryan supremacy(google that or read it up). They were not fighting for God, and even if they were, they killed more jews than muslims. The jews aint blowing up innocent people cos of the nazis. Your BH and your muslim/islamic intolerance is legendary. You always want to fight for your god(if truly allah is a god). I make this statement with full responsibility. You can take take it anyway you like. If allah is a god, let him take me on. I know some rabid muslims will be baying for blood soon. Predictability in rash behaviours is more the norm(emphasis on more) in islam.
Thank god more muslims are seeing the light about a god who wants followers to defend himself.

Anyone who even thinks of justifying whatever bh is doing, is a DODO + an ostrich - brain cells.

acidtalk: SUEN OSAWE, come and pursue all these people abusing Islam and muslims oh!

Boko boys can use vex and bonb the cyberspace (internet) just to bring nairaland down.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Are you one of the people planning on bombing NL? Ewu like you.

There's a thing called freedom of expression. If they insult mohammed, so what? If there should be consequences for the insult, let mohammed diss it out to them. Dead people don't talk mind you. the moh-dude(thats street slang for mohammed) died almost 1700 years ago and his corpse is probably desert sand blowing over sahara desert now, or its growing tomatoes wherever it lies, but using an insult against the moh-dude to kill anyone is a joke.

You making silly statements like you just did is amazing.

A religion of peace that has set the whole world on fire!

bittyend: Why did this btych post this stupid thread on NL? Is this dollarland, bytch?? Who gives a phuck about Obama Obomber and Jimmy Gallon Fallon?

Go jump off Brooklyn bridge, bytch.

You're a slow poke nigga, you!!

eGuerrilla: Oh dear, the unraveling of Sanusi?
Since winning the crown of Central Bank Governor of the year 2011 - the poisoned chalice - it has being a case of one faux pas after the other!

Based on the list of scholarly works copied in below, can the NL commentariat assume SLS overreached himself by straying too far from his comfort zone?
Time will tell...

Looking at this list, except for the 1999 paper, which was based on a finance topic(not economics), all other papers were on sharia issues, until he became cbn governor!

what an academic pedigree deserving of a cbn governor.

PeeDaVinci: plagiarism is wrong and if sanusi is guilty of it, i strongly think he should resign . . . it is fraud, straight and simple.

however, i wonder why some pple believe he is not suitable for CBN governor's job based on his degrees. this man holds a bsc in economics, lectured economics in a university, and has approx 25 years experience in the banking industry. . . what other credential do u want him to have?

Sir,

so he worked for 25 years in banks and that gives him the expertise to be a cbn governor?

So if a man works for security company for 25 years, does that qualify him to be the head of the SSS in a nation? DO you know what the job of the cbn governor involves? There is only one cbn in a country and banks dont do what cbn functions entail. He lectured as a graduate assistant and maybe junior lecturer in economics. do you know of any published economic paper written by sanusi that was published in a peer reviewed journal of the economics community? Is he an economic intellectual or a hands on economics expert? what skills and expertise does he bring to the job, except his being a kano prince? what exactly were his job functions/roles when he worked in banking? if youve ever worked in a naija bank, you will know thats one of the last places where you practise real economics.

bakila: Have you read Sanusi's Defence? What the man qouted as being plagarised can be riled out by 12 old as reason for our like of development. The man will have his case dismissed because he has no copyright to the bane of development in Nigeria.

A Lawyer has just provided employment for collegues and that Hause Prince's name is up for some bashing sha.

Excuse me sir, that defence does not hold water. Firstly, to write about a subject matter and come up with the same set of bullet points, same choice of words, same presentation, same context as some other published work is a rarity. in fact, it is impossible as something will be different, maybe a grammatical error, but to have it verbatim and word for word is plagiarism. To not have this same 'rarity' happen twice is daylight robbery.

Maybe i should let you know that i have seen thru sls from the day he was appointed. his recent actions show that no matter how much a leopard shaves its fur, it cannot change it spots when the hair grows back. a cbn governor that donates hundreds of millions of naira without a budget, without govt approval to religious crisis victims and other such silly egocentric actions he has taken obviously doesnt know what he is doing. The entire world of finance uses the action of the cbn governor of a nation to determine their financial perspective of that nation. The federal reserve bank governor and the BOE governor choose their words whenever they speak, cos one wrong word from them and the USD or GBP can lose 10% or more of its value asap.

wesley80: Are u daft or are you DAFT? Since when did Nigerias problem become a lack of educated or qualified folks? What every job in this country requires first and foremost is "honesty", every other thing including "qualifications" is secondary and that's exactly why Sanusi ranks up there as one of the very best CBN govs. Academic qualification does not rationalize performance. Get that into your head.

Insults and logic do not mix. A CBN governor is the ultimate job as far as the economy of a country is concerned. Show me ANY serious nation that put a master in theology/islamic studies as its CBN governor? The shame is that so called educated ones like you, see nothing wrong with these. How many people here will get on a plane being driven by a guy who is not a pilot, but who the airline feels should be able to drive a plane?

If naija leaders weren't such a shitty set of leaders, SLS would NEVER have become cbn governor. We can go much deeper into this if you want, but i await your response on countries who have cbn governors, who aint trained finance professionals. If you know the world of finance, you will know that the cbn governor has the final say over a nation's economy, even more than the president/head of state. One wrong advise from him and the economy is toast!

SLS is a fraud, has always been and will always be. SLS has a first degree in Economics and a master degree in Islamic studies from Sudan. Thats why he has no idea of what cross-referencing is, even though he has a masters degree.

The wonder of it all is how a master holder in Islamic studies(of all things) was ever made CBN governor. Preposterous doesnt even begin to describe this

DivideUs: as it turns out we were right on the money with this guy, what he is is a failure, 24hrs to respond to a crises in which 200+ people lost their lives
i sure am glad i didn't vote for this nincompoop .

and pls dont give me this stoopiid story about some people sabotaging his government, is he not commander in thief? go read about geogia and malaysia and i dare you to come back with this same argument, he would have achieved alot in a year if he was a good president but obviously he isnt.

so as it turns out we were right all along!! and for fvrrk sake break the damn thing already and stop all this bombing that we all know your people are professionals in!!!

Mr Man, do you know how many hours it took GWB to respond publicly to the WTC bombing? GWB was first whsiked off to a bunker in a secure location.DO you think running a govt is like running a 500 person company? And the Georgia and Malaysia yous spoke about, do you know when they started their development? Malaysia started about the same time with Naija, in the 1960s when they came and collected palm kernel seddlings from naija. We r taling of 4 - 5 decades and here you r spitting vitriol over a man who has been in govt for less than 3 years. Do you know that GEJ cant do 10% of what they did in these countries before people call him a witch and other ugly names? Do you know how many people malaysia jailed before their country could start "TRYING' to do the right thing? There are less than 10-225 tribes in Malaysia. We have over 250 tribes, with a defective constitution. These 2 countries you mentioned rewrote their constitution to reflect their vision. Naija is still using a military document that i so defective.


I pray you become MD or top management staff in a 2000 people company. I am sure you will speak diffferently when you come to realise that people r the worst animals to give instriction to, especially in a deeply corrupt society like naija.

ogugua88: I am an American.

Bush made many mistakes, but he never would have jeopardized the lives of home-based Americans. Sending troops to war is one thing, but he never would have allowed terrorists to infiltrate his government and further allow them to carry out attacks on civilians, and then brush off those said attacks to cover his pals' behinds. Another thing. He never would have sent the American army on protesting citizens the way GEJ sent Nigerian troops on Occupy Nigeria protesters. So, there's some food for thought. There's no equal comparison in my book.

Ogugua88, you suprise me a bit about this GEJ issue. If you aint resident in naija, i might understand. Im quite conversant with your posts on NL and i have to say you seem a reasonable lady(no pun/compliment intended).

Are you implying GEJ invited terrorists into his govt? Do you want to tell me you dont know all this bh thingy is just a political weapon deployed by a few northern elitist with collaborators in other parts of the country? Is GEJ expected to sack all the bh sympathisers, cos they have a BH seal on their foreheads? As to sending soldiers on nigerians, OBJ levelled Odi and Yar Adua sent soldiers to kill off villagers in Benue state(i believe) when they killed soldiers. Thats the way govt is run in naija; its totally unacceptable but that the way the cookie currently crumbles in naija.

I am not saying GEJ is a messiah; no he aint. But when things have always happened in a certain way, and that way is systemic with respect to the issue, asking the incumbent to do right is fair; in fact, it is given. But comments such as "Retardeen", "Fool", etc over things that all other presidents have done before GEJ, makes you out to be someone who is saying this based on emotions, and who is not being realistic.

Please let me digress a bit: The american govt has a serious debt issue; the white house, capitol hill and the american govt bureaucracy knows this. Yet in the last 4 years, the american govt has always had to strike last minute deals to prevent a debt default. Have you called obama a dunce for this recurring annual debt drama? No, you havent and you know why, cos that the way the american bureaucracy is playing the politics of debt management. Its got nothing to do with obama.

Using the analogy above, examine whatever beef you have against GEJ and ask yourself: Is this issue a new one, or is he just not handling it well? Obvious case in point is BH. Its existed before now, but cos the sponsors had groomed then as a pivate army and there was no need to activate that army, but for the annual bloodletting they let them do(in the name of religious crisis) where they use the bh boys to threaten all non-northerners. in GEJ tenure, the private army has been activated. So that particular point needs to be highlighted. You could say that MEND existed before and they were dealt with(amnesty and/or killed off). Yes, but there are differences: e.g. MEND operated on the waterays, so engaging them is very easy(people aint walking all over the waterways at the same time and you can use satelittes to track boats), BH boys operates amongst us in our normal way of life, so identifying BH folks is not easy. MEND targeted oil facility, so if you can protect the facility, you can reduce the threat, BH kills people and the people they kill ALL look alike. You cannot say the people being targeted shouldnt go about their normal daily activities, can you?

To summarise, delve a bit deeper into the issues and be sincere. A corrupt bureacracy of 52 years is what GEJ has to rely upon to fight a new kind of threat, and its even worsened by the presence of spies within that corrupt bureacracy. It took America 10 years to kill Osama, with all their technological assets. Tell me, what assets can the naija govt use to track and engage bh without importing it? apart from small light arms and bullets, every other equipment is imported.

Await your response.

No insult meant, but if you were a father/mother and your daugther got married, and her family is moving into a town where you have an empty apartment, would you not insist they stay in the house? Why would you even be asking the question?

@poster, if it was your own father who owned the building, would you come and ask us in NL if you should stay in your own father's house? The real question is not whether you should stay in your FIL house; the real question is "would you stay in the house of someone who would, either be a trouble to you, or who would give you peace in the house". I help rephrased your question because, if the poster has a very troublesome father(I mean no disrespect please, this is just hypothetical), would you want to put in your family in that house, even though the man is your father?

Pride goeth before a fall. The man has offered; accept the offer, even if you are as rich as dangote. That rent money you will save, you can use it for other things, from giving it to your MIL, to buying your FIL something he likes to even buying land for your children(if you have). Your FIL will be quite happy knowing he has helped his daughter and her family.

My 2 cents

ogugua88: There's no comparison between the US and Nigeria and you know it. I'm sure Nigerians would take two George W. Bush presidencies over one GEJ anyday. At least Bush reacted to 9/11. There hasn't been a terror attack since then, except for the Nigerian underwear bomber's attempt. We're still waiting for GEJ to react to the easter bombings, talkless of all of BH's major attacks since 2010.

Please don't insult Nigerians. GWB was a disaster. He was a certified dunce. Obama and the US will deal with the mess he made of the american economy for the next decade at least, if not more. If you were an american, i doubt you would so lightly speak about the atrocities committed by GWB and Dick 'no pulse' Cheney.

malc619: Do we have ά̲̣̥ share in his 1billion naira peppersoup?? ₪☺..

Are Ʊ related to Dame Patience Jonathan ??

Can you tell us how much OBJ and Yar Adua used to budget for Aso rock when they were president?

No, you cant. Do you want me to tell you why: because they did not let the FOI bill see the light of day and as such, we had no access to such information. GEJ let the senate pass that bill and now we can know.

How much is N1b? That is like $6.5m to feed Aso rock in a year. Do you know how many people live in Aos rock? Or you think its just GEJ and his family that will use the money to feed?

People need to start opening their minds and stop thinking as if Aso rock is a family house for just GEJ and his family. The money will be used to feed the score of security men in the place, the gardeners and all those who are entitled to be fed on a daily basis.

1025: i still don't want to believe that nigerians were this dumb and daft in making this man president. uk is busy judging ur corrupt gov and u are busy calling on germany to help u fight boko haram, what then can u do on ur own? is this man aware that nigeria is supposed to be an independent country? what made this man accept to be the president of nigeria? i fainted the day he said we have an untouchable cabal in the oil sector. maybe we need americans to come and fight corrupt pdp members in nigeria.
this is a very big shame.

When the Americans voted GWB as their president for 2 terms, even though they knew he was a dunce, did you pass this same comment on the good ole USA? GWB doubled the american debt profile in just 8 years? and bill clinton left him with a balanced budget when he left power. Do you know what that means? the americans chose a president wo dogded the vietname draft, was a certified drunk amongst other things(even invited a gay prostitute into the white house) and yet the americans gave GWB a second term!

Please think well before you libel an entire nation. We voted the man and then BH came up from the northern elites. r u saying we should ave being threatened by atiku and co's threat and thus vote for buhari?

OBJ left power and advised GEJ to negotiate with them, but what did OBJ do when he was in power? The US is getting out of Afganistan and Iraq cos theyre broke, not cause they cant defeat the Taliban. Where's the Taliban today? The best anti-terrorist nation in the world is Israel and they NEVER negotiate with terrorists. The biggest mistake any one will make is to try and negotiate with armed robbers and terrorists. America is telling you theyre negotiating with taliban but the the truth is America is just trying to call pakistan to order, cos the taliban is controlled by pakistan.

No one with power or authority, in his right mind will negotiate with terrorists. BH survives in the north cos its being encouraged by northerners(some northerners). BH has nothing on the whole south, not a single thing. That tells you that bh survives only cos of the assistance they get from folks in the north. They forget however, that 'you dont cut off your nose to spite your face'.

I wont bother to expand that into normal english. I actually agree with GEJ, the more bh operates in the north, the worse off the entire region is and the worse off the position of the bh sponsors become. But in fairness to GEJ, he knows his efforts r being sabotaged by the very people he's trying to help.

Like it or not, hate GEJ or not, BH can NEVER come southwards. If they were truly a national freeedon fighting body, they should start by killing their own corrupt elites, and not by killing igbos and xtians up north. Their mission is a failure from the start. If u know a bit about bh, you will know that their end has come.

I can't believe I have broken my words never to post on this silly forum again.

I am amazed at the silly comments being passed by some folks here about GEJ.

Let me start by saying I am not from the SS, neither do I work for Naija govt in any capacity.

For a country that is 52 years old and have had corruption openly practised every single day of its existence, i find it naive that some folks here actually expect GEJ to change the country overnight, even if he wanted to. There's a psychological warfare being waged around GEJ, to try and prevent his running come 2015.

Let me ask some pertinent questions:

- When OBJ spent 8 years and didn't deal with Boko Haram, but left them alone to do their own thing, including introducing Sharia over parts of the north, how many of the folks running their mouths here abused OBJ then, or even now blame him for not nipping the problem in the bud?

- When Yar adua left this country for almost a year, and the vice president was like a house boy in Aso rock, how many of the people here realised the absurdity of the country's politics that allowed such a lacuna to happen in the Presidency?

- When Buhari, Atiku, IBB, Gusau et al came openly to declare that they will set the country on fire, how many of the people here took them not seriously? and before you open your mouth to start saying 'why can't GEJ arrest them, let me ask if any of you work in an office environment, and how the politics in that office is played? Do you not know most times the people responsible for the horrible things happening in the company? and do those evil people EVER do those things themselves or do they use others to do their dirty work?

- VP Sambo has being fingered in the Boko Haram mess and a lot of highly placed people, but until you catch them making a call or with a bomb or some other incriminating evidence, you cant't prosecute them.

- How many governors did EFCC collate data on for prosecution over corruption and how many cases did the police, judiciary and even the Justice minister frustrate? Yeah, yeah, don't start screaming, if you can't do the job, get out of the kitchen.

and please, don't breathe that word Buhari. His bigotry is legendary: case in point: when Buhari was in power in 1984-85, tell me how many northern politicians he arrested and jailed? Mention 3 and there jail terms. A man who put the northern president under house arrest(in the president's own house) and who jailed the vice president? Can you believe how bigoted he is?

I digress but back to my point: This nation is so bleeped up that if the Nigerian president can only trust 2 people and he gives an order asking for elimination of BH bombers who have gone to carry out a bombing, you can be sure that at least one of the 2 people will go and ask for bribe from the BH boys.

If the naija police can kill fellow citizens over 20 naira, what do you think they will do over 1mil? So whats the solution:

Stop all the GEJ bashing: it aint achieving anything. Even the international recognition came because some of the things GEJ is doing is either not known to us, or we dont care to know about them. Yes, he drinks, yes, he gets drunks, but was OBJ not a useless womaniser who slept with his son's wife? Did Yar Adua not spend more time in hospital treating ailments than the time he spent ruling Naija? Did we insult the other presidents the way some folks r insulting GEJ?

Whether you like it or not, GEJ will rule till 2019. If you don't like it, too bad. GEJ ascension to power was divine. Like it or not, there is a reason for that. Personally, i know the nation can do better but when it comes to the game of power and politics, the best person for the job, might not even be in contention for the position.

I have read enough posts in the last few months and am surprised that some folks think if they keep up the bashing, he won't contest in 2015. Its aint working. and the BH boys r only making things work against the interest of the so called elites from the north who think its their right to rule. Come 2027, a middle belter will take over from an Igbo man(I aint Igbo either, aint delta, not SS or SE,so don't think I am canvassing for my tribe).

If we all work together with the president, maybe the work of eliminating BH can move faster. After all, the Great America has being fighting AL Qaeda since the 1980s and yet, they have defeated Al qaeda, so how can folks here be acting simple minded by thinking its a walk in the park to defeat terrorists, who have the active support of elites in the society they operate in. Maybe we should ask why BH only operates in the certain parts of the north. Why aint BH in the SW or SS or SE or even middle belt? Why is it only the Hausa-Fulani/Kanuri dominated part of the north that they operate fully in(the Kanuris are fully on the side of their traditional enemies [the hausa-fulani] in this guerilla warfare).

Let me pause and hope that folks will have a rethink. I doubt this but evil reigns when good people standby and watch evil people do evil things. I've had enough of all the silly talks about GEJ. Lets bring out credible opponents to GEJ and see if the people wont vote for such a person. Until we do that, NL warfare aint gonna change anything.
