Have you finished?  I'm sure that you agree that some people where denied education cos awolawo subsidised education for his people only, and he said that coacoa was a cash crop that was found in yorubaland,so only the yorubas can benefit from it,as he believed nigeria was just a geografical expression while other leaders allowed their ressuces to be used to run nigeria.And yet despite all the free education the yorubas enjoyed all you can show for it is fake digrees and this braging of yours that you are educated than everyone and play 419 on them,that is what you know and do best, GET A LIFE PLS.
Even by merely checking the name you go by I knew you ARE a Mor0n (with a capital "M"wink. The Free Education policy of the Western Region did not only educate Yorubas; it was available to all Nigerians schooling in the region. If your parents were not so dense, they would have emigrated to the West so they would have been educated; and so that they would not have passed their illness (ignorance) to the Mor0n they call their child.

Using a function recursively exposes the programmer to the risk of stack overflow unless you make a memo or an array that stores the value of all problems solved to prevent the function from starting at the beginning with every recursive call,
Is that actually how you prevent stack overflow?

Haba, the little revenue the country generates is enough for that. But God forbid they take out of that little money to pay their debtors. That will be bad for business.

@Akainzo,
What do you know about logic? I have spoken of my personal experience, so what concerns that with the North? If indeed GEJ was voted for (and not Sambo) in the north, great; but that was not my PERSONAL (you may check the word if you have a dictionary) experience.

Lol. I don't know why it's so difficult for people to understand, but the reason a so called "highly educated" person begins to sound like a dunce is simply because she hurriedly put together a wad of lies. And she's quite surprised that these "illiterate" Nigerians have her figured out. Once again, the money they are trying to make will not be used for infrastructure; they will be used to pay debts to those she represents in Nigeria.

Apart from the fact that I have a special dislike for military and ex military people, the apparent tribalism of the northerners in the last election was enough reason for me to oppose all northerners.

Here's an example:

I know of a Sudanese married to a northerner and who lives in Lagos. Initially she was supporting Babangida. When Babangida lost the prelim I expected her to stick to a political ideology and PDP then support GEJ. To my surprise she switched to Buhari. I pointedly asked her why her support was more along tribal lines than political. Her response was a jumble of words like a crack addict on withdrawal; it made no sense. I then noticed she wasn't the only northerner acting in this manner.

I didn't know any northerners supporting southern candidates; but I knew lots of southern (so called progressives) supporting northerners, and it wasn't as if there were no good southern candidates. There was therefore no way in hell I'd support a northerner.

Now he's talking about Buhari; well Utomi would've been better than Buhari. Shikena.

You mean the Government has answered those questions? I am not aware of this so please can you provide some source detailing the given answers? I am really interested in knowing why the Goodluck administration, unlike administrations before it, felt that it needed to put the horse before the cart.
To get such answers either you have reliable sources within the government, or you actually use your intuition. Let's just say I have the best of both worlds. smiley

What made Obasanjo decide to wait on it? What made Yar adua decide it was best to handle the removal in the way he approached it?
How about, less pressure from the boss, and OBJ was paying steady anyway (thanks to our "financial wizard" Okonjo)? GEJ definitely got a deadline from the boss here: "Hey, we've been waiting 10 years. You can't continue telling us you are broke and can't pay. Implement or else!". How much are we owing again?

This fuel subsidy removal policy has been in the works since the early 2000s. Nigeria has been working on implementing this IMF policy for almost a decade now. That your Government decided to act in this brash manner now, DOES NOT in anyway mean IMF is NOW to blame.
But, what would make our government implement it in such a brash manner? What did GEJ stand to gain by incurring the wrath of the populace? I suppose you consider him to be extremely daft right? (Correct in some ways). But remember, he's a politician.

What I mean by that? Let's see . . . .

Fuel subsidy removal is not bad . . .we have been trying to since 2005 to implement this, but in order to do it,we first needed to ensure our refineries were working and we had sufficient refining capability. Obasanjo and Yar adua regimes worked as they could to ensure the horse was in place before the policy is to be implemented. Unfortunately, rather than pursue that, our current Government decided instead to go ahead and cut subsidies even before we had ensured the cart was in place. Of course there is more that was not done, but I am certain this explains what I have there. Does that help you understand what I typed there now??
Thanks.

Only thing is, Professor Tam David-West (Former Petroleum Minister) claims there's really no "fuel subsidy" and it's all a scam. It's standard for refineries to work anyway. The contentious issue should be, what price should PMS be sold in Nigeria? Should we base our price on the price in the US? Our petroleum bodies (NNPC etc) have a penchant for preferring to export petroleum products than provide them locally because of course they make more money exporting (I learnt how they'd been doing that with gas, thereby starving our local PHCN power plants of the required gas to produce power). And it makes sense that the price locally should be lower than the export price.

But let's ignore that for a moment; I'm not sure the government can't make IMF a scapegoat if they didn't tie into the deal somewhere.

Even the Japanese Triad (Yakuza) can put up a site saying their business is only about tattoos and put up various tattoo designs. It's left for gullible people to copy and paste from such a website.

Like I said, I know what the IMF is about; I am more interested in what you mean by this:

The Nigerian Government, once again,put the cart before the horse, and essentially found a way to have gullible Nigerians think the IMF is to blame.

If the IMF thought the Nigerian Government was making a wrong move, why were they being commended by Largarde on her visit on the 19th of December (after she met with their stooge in the form of Iweala and Jonathan)? It's no coincidence that 2 weeks later we got a New Year present. Or have you heard IMF criticize the government? We know who the piper playing the tune is; and we clearly see the dancers. Besides, enough posts on this thread have treated the conspiracy that these financial institutions (World Bank/IMF) constitute. I don't think I need to mention that any government that doesn't toe their line falls anyway. So again, who's to blame? Do you blame the puppet, or do you blame the puppeteer, or maybe even the members of the audience who have refused to see the evil of the puppeteer but rather face the puppet?

Right, except you have a problem with reading Shylock as I've pointed out is a sadist. And again except you have a hard time reading, as I pointed out, you have to be a fool to borrow from Shylock. The only benefit the man's children actually have has being withdrawn to pay Shylock, and not to make their lives better as the lie goes. No infrastructure will be developed.

Shylock has only come with spreadsheets with regression analysis showing such misleading things as the relationship between illiteracy and long life (to conclude that illteracy leads to long life), so your children shouldn't go to school. Shylock simply wants to be paid. As long as we agree on that (that the World Bank/IMF does have something to gain) I have no issues as you can make noise from now till infinity.

In other words, only a bunch of fools will believe the lie of "infrastructural development", and only fools will ask what the World Bank/IMF had to gain (as it appears some people can't seem to read well enough to know what this thread is about, so this is a reminder).
Politics › Re: What Exactly Will Western Countries/imf Gain From Fuel Subsidy Removal? by logica(m): 1:51pm On Jan 07, 2012
As I said earlier, either the Nigerians asking this kind of silly question are IMF/World Bank agents or simply toddlers. We all know how Nigerians suddenly begin to think like their oyinbo overlords as soon as they get employed by UN or IMF or World Bank; we call them Uncle Toms and Aunt Jemimas.

In any case for those who genuinely don't understand and ask what they have to gain, I will break it down using toddler analogies.

What did Shylock (in the book "Merchant of Venice" which I'm sure even toddlers have read) have to gain by Antonio dying, knowing fully well that if he cut out Antonio's heart as he sought he (Antonio) would die? Wouldn't he gain a lot more if he made Antonio rich so that Antonio can pay him more money? That's the logic some are trying to sell here, and it's a hard sell.

Of course we know only a fool will borrow money from a Shylock, but then it still does not change the nature of the Shylock, as a wicked soul; a sadist.

So, I borrow 12,000 from a Shylock and agreed to make 12 payments of 1500 each month (for the entire year). After making 2 payments, I start to default. So Mr Shylock comes to find out why he's not getting his money. I open up my books and he finds out my children go to school and I pay 1500 every month for school fees alone in total. He also finds out they drink Peak milk where as I could buy them the adulterated (and much cheaper) milk sold somewhere in Mushin. So what do you think Mr Shylock will advise? Of course he will tell me to stop sending my children to school, and/or show me how to locate that place in Mushin where adulterated milk is sold, so that my kids can be poisoned. It's really none of his business, as he has to get his 1500 monthly payment. Now ask again, what does IMF stand to gain? Answer the question yourself.

If you don't know what a Shylock is, and don't understand know that we are continually held by our balls using various phantom debts, which the debtors want to be paid by squeezing out our blood, you are not worthy of being referred to as an adult. Either that or you are just one of their agents who will sell even his mother for "promotion" or financial gain.

Exactly. Now we are coming to the real matter. Obviously the so called "removal of subsidy" is really to fund the payment of debt to IMF/World Bank and not to put up any infrastructure as being touted. That should tell you why it happened so suddenly; and not just here but also in Ghana.

Beaf is one of the very few analytical minds on this forum. I come to this forum daily to read his post and compare with the realism. His facts check out. Nigerians need to know that Government is protecting their future. If we continue to dole out billions and decimate our foreign reserves, there will come a time, the soldiers, the police and the civil servants will not be paid and what will happen, the entire system will collapse.

Subsidy removal alone is not enough, Resource Control which is a component of True Federalism has to be enshrined. States should generate resources to take care of their Independent powers stations and transportation.

The only sectors that needs subsidy is TRANSPORT AND ELECTRICITY; after all, every one is crying that they cant afford fuel for the okada, cars or for their generator. If Transportation and Electricity is perfected then wetin concern Agboro with overload. But we need money to build rails, roads and buy big buses and also to build power plants, subsidy on petrol needs to be stopped so we can fund the salient sectors
Lol. And in your analytical mind, the salient sectors cannot be developed from money generated by cutting the 72% expenditure spent by the government on itself? Even cutting the 1 point something billion earmarked for feeding will go a long way.

Tell me something new. Only silly little girls trying to be "feminists" have any regard for the Aunt Jemima, as in her they see a "role model". Trust the African; ever ready to sells their own for looking glasses. They must've promised her a plum position once she "delivers". That's why I have to pay $3.70/gallon (141 Naira/liter) for petrol. I checked the Baltimore area where I used to live and gas goes for $3.20/gallon. WTF?

thekrafter:
I agree, the removal could have been handled better. But the so called smart ones are leading the "masses" to force our government to kill us. And by kill us I mean re-instating the subsidy. If the subsidy stays, in the short term, we gain, government doesn't lose a thing. They got along just fine last year with the subsidy. But in the long term, Nigeria will die. The subsidy needs to go, the government needs to lead the way with belt tightening measures, and people need to go to JAIL!!
Speaking of going to jail, don't you think the "Commander in Chief" would lead the long line to Kirikiri? You are simply talking about what the government should do; have they indicated they have any plans of doing that? Spending 72% of the budget on themselves? From what you have seen, do you think there is that will to tighten any belts?
