Get a Catholic to explain to you. It's so unambiguous!

Truth be said:

The rot there was in the system before BRF is extremely unthinkable.

Make a piggy list of the roads you pass by from home to work daily and note the infrastructural upgrade effort before and after BRF. You will agree with me the gentleman has done a yeoman job. Of course, we still want more.

My 1 Naira!

And a thousand more reasons to fritter away tax payers' money.
Mba, i do not support! Government already costs us an arm and a leg!

Now this is RASCALLY hard-core!

Islamic or pagan bank, once it will promote entrepreneurship, reduce unemployment and alleviate poverty so be it.

It is better than some application of church (Christian) funds on[b] Private jets[/b],

Gbam! Ko soro mo! End of discussion!

The problem in Nigeria is not lack of education, rather it's lack of its use. The Bishops largely smack of ignorance, intolerance and bigot.

Sometimes in 2006, the Islamic Development Bank met with the the then minister of Finance Okonjo-Iweala to drum support for the introduction of Islamic Banking in Nigeria. Early that year, the bank went to the stock market to raise capital but the bank 25bn recapitalization campaign affected its capitalization plans. Back to Iweala, on NTA late that night, she came on TV and said Nigeria is embracing the Islamic Banking system because the merits are simply amazing! (I may not have quoted her verbatim, but the message was clear). She also spoke on the zero-interest system as a good economic catalyst.

Soludo had given the green light for Jaizz Bank, one of the Islamic Banks to proceed to the capital market to shore up capital for its operations. Many Nigerians are still holding the shares of this Bank.

I cannot go through all the benefits again as that has been exhaustively dealt with by some contributors to the thread.

One good plus to this is the share the profit/loss with any investor that can convince the bank to join its venture, unlike the conventional banking system that - good, they share; bad, you are HUNG! How much did Nigeria borrow from the IMF/Paris Club/World Bank? How  much are we paying back? Under what conditions?

The casting of aspersion and the vituperation against Sanusi is needless. Same was done against him when he was trying to expose the rot in the banking sector, well posterity judges all.

Bigot, blind arrogance and intolerance will do us no good!

Hungry contractors! They could not even spell Dimeji correctly! Wetin be DEMEJI?!

I still dey laff! Was it not on the threads of Nairaland people rebuffed allegations and arguments that April 19 elections were marred with rigging - physically and electronically?!
Goodluck fellow Deltans. We applauded them (PDP) when they did it (rigged) last week, now we should accept it when it's done against our very wishes.

See you in 2015. But for now - SAI UDUAGHAN!

KPSHEEEEW! there was no Mike Bolton!
It's photoshopped. Shine ya eyes!!!!

Not fulfilling but i thank God for the gift of life.

Marriage sucks!
Only getting married cos it's a human trait, just like eating else u starve to death!

Gbam! Ayowumie. I think you made the most intelligent use of the keyboard since this thread.

They were all standing. GEJ and Adeboye should either both be standing or kneeling. Something disturbing about the picture.

No be Robert Mugabe dey for corner dey pray for Obama so?! Shuo!

Igbiniendon, I am not surprised. Infact i wonder why it took this long to discover the abracadabra called Medical school in that institution. As for Uniben, i am still in shock. What's happened to the hay-day glories?

callshy:
More,

This must be from Shell, Ogunnu in Warri. Know it like the back of my hand. Really beautiful and green.

Sagamite:
^^^ Unfortunately, you still have not answered my fundamental question.

Do muslims in SECULAR Nigeria, under the extant constitutional/legal framework, not have the RIGHT to reject their cases being heard in a Sharia court when they prefer it to be heard in the UNIVERSAL English Law of the SECULAR NATION?

Of course you have a right "on request (the "learned" ones call it plea i presume)" to be heard under any court of justice under the three main legal arms otherwise, the law court may decide under which jurisdiction your case falls and be so referred to be answered there. This is a case for either the customary or the Islamic court depending on what decision/actions necessitated the legal matter in the first place.

My toro!

ahidjo:
One thing and one thing alone I have done: Sent messages and warned my family members as well as relations that under no circumstance must they vote for Goodluck Jonathan. [b]He is too unintelligent to continue rulling Nigeria. Highly worried because with his PhD, he continues to fumble disastrously (though only the intelligent can see this fumbling). Because the people complained about electricity, he included that in his agenda, they complained about roads, he included in his agenda, they complained about corruption, he reluctantly started talking about it. May somebody remind Goodluck Jonathan that the cost of living in his country is the highest in the world; that the minimum wage in Nigeria can only buy about 10 days worth of meals. Somebody should also tell Mr Jonathan that in his country, the cost of using GSM is the highest in the world. Only in Nigeria do people spend more than the so called minimum wage on recharge cards-the biggest GSM fraud in the world. Mr Jonathan does not care about these despite his meaningless speeches during declaration and on facebook (it makes sense though to the small minded and ignorant among us) FEC has been turned into a jamboree, inflated contract awarding cult. I can not stop crying for Nigeria.[/b]

My very sentiments M. Ahidjo. Even the sickly UMYA (RIP) reflects more energy and commitment! As for corruption, we all know too well from the quality of representation at the declaration that its another merry-go-round!

Nigeria, O My Nigeria

There are a thousand and one plastic industries in Nigeria with capacity to get this done to the desired quality.

Would someone tell "Dr." GEJ and "Prof" Akunyili that this money can set up another state of art industry that can manufacture these bins here in Nigeria and create employment for our youths, impact positively on the economy and improve industrial capacity?!

Voting into office GEJ would be Nigeria's greatest undoing. At the level in which things are, he is too stunted in principle to control the madness that rocks the political class.
