Ileke-IdI:
So disgusting on so many level.

Black men need to start caring. Fat is not it.


Can you just imagine.

Oh boy, see jealousy. Lol

My sister, hope u r not feeling jealous because u b lepa.

U wll be surprised to know quite a number of men wld do anything to have an "ikebe super" like this at home.

Get some fatty b0oty and see wht I mean.

Although, personally I feel irritated by the big thang

WHY KILL A MOSQUITO WITH A STEALTH JET BOMBER?

Now I clearly understand two(2) things about SLS.
1. He has a passion for creating uproar to draw attention to himself.
2. His strategic thinking is always geared towards policies/decisions that will put serious strain on the masses.

Examples:
1. Banking reform: To start with, the reform was needed bt the level of immaturity with which it was carried made ground for so much collateral damage. The level of job loss witnessed during this reform was unprecedented. Poeple were wrong to think only bankers were affected. A lot of manufacturing and service companies who had their operations stiffened also laid off staff as they could not assess loan for a long time for business operations. The job loss trend is still with us till today. Yet, mallam wants to up the stake.

2. Cashless lagos: if u are a lagos based businessman, u will understand what a pain in the ars_e this policy is. It can be so frustrating. People loose money and deals because of this prematurely introduced policy.

3. 5,000 naira notes and coinage of 20, 10, 5 naira: everyone in this country, except sls, is aware of how senseless and incompatible that was with our society. This was adequately reflected in the level of public outcry and eventual suspension of the policy by FG.

4. Support for subsidy Removal: this same policy was meant to achieve the similar purpose as this new proposal of sack in the civil service. Now, can anyone mention any significant impact that the subsidy reinvestment committee has had on nigerian economy and nigerians. The subsidy was saved to be stolen by Abuja Stealers. The same thing will happen with the savings if 50% of civil servants are sacked.

5. Mass sack of civil servant. Hmmmmm. Yes, savings wll be achieved bt the resulting surge in unemployment rate will be catastrophic. I am very sure that will kick-start the revolution some of us want.

Lessons
Sanusi does not care whether the masses starve to death or not. As long as he become Emir of Kano , shikena.....

Gej won't be that foolish to follow such suggestion anyway. Bt this is Naija, u never know.

Siga: For real....u heard the gunshots all the way in Lantoro....omo...that one bad gan ooo...bros...thats far now...how is that possible...unless dem chase the officers down there

Bros. I was on prayer when it began. I must confess i lost concentration immediately and started thinking of evacuation plan for my wife and kid.

THERE WAS NO CHASE as vehicle or human movment would have easily been noticed.

The heavy sound only confirms the fire arms superiority of those robbers. Our police hv to be very well equiped to confront these guyz.

omiobo: 5 policemen with toy guns against 15 armed robbers with machine guns. Those policemen legally embarked on suicide mission.

May God have mercy on their souls!

I always spend my wkends in Abk. Oh boy i heard the sporadic gunshots in the dead of the night and i can confirn say NO BE JOKE OH. Those robbers dey vex. They sounded like expendable 2 crew. And considering the fact that i was a few kilometres away frm ijemo agbadu, the shots were damn too loud. I even thought they were in my lantoro neighbourhood.

With what i heard, it must have been an anihilation not a gun duel. Those policemen were helpless.

May their soul RIP.

Rooneyboy: Good !
Hope u have ur burnt scar on ur fore head to proof that u are a true and proud boko boy ?

Burnt scar! Like d 666 mark of d beast u people made up. U'r, indeed, a m0r0n.

I laff in japanesse. Hio hio hio hio hio hio

HQ: Muslims at it again. What does a simple shirt have to do with anything?

I mean, it's not like the shirt says "Islam is Bad" or something of the like.

*SMH.

It's quite unfortunate how m0r0ns like u come on nairaland and spit thrash all over on matters of which u know very little or nothing at all. Let me ask u these questions:

1. Is the present sponsor of Newcstle Utd (Virgin Money) not a lending institution?

2. Are the mentioned players not putting on the shirts bearing Virgin Money?

3. Is there anythin/proof in the post to show that the muslim players in newcasle are reluctant to put on the shirt bearing the name of new sponsor.

When u answer those questions, u and ur likes on this forum wld perhaps realise ur stupidity and stop ur nasty comments abt a religion u know nothin abt (other than media attempts at rubbishing the religiong by linking it with everything negative in politics, sports, etc.).

I AM SURE IF ALUU KILLING HAD HAPPENED IN THE NORTH OR MIDDLE EAST, UR LIKES WLD HV LINKED IT WITH ISLAM. Now that the community is a xtian dominated one; is it right to say xtianity is a cruel religion? I'll say no.

- I AM PROUDLY A MUSLIM
- WILL NEVER TRADE ISLAM FOR ANYTHING
- WILL PROUDLY RAISE MY HAND AND SHOW MY FACE ANYWHERE AS A MUSLIM

End of story......

Les: Islam, islam, islam, wethn harmless students do una na? Nawa o!

Seriously, U DEY KOLO. No be small self.

Jarus: I take personal insults, even character assassination, but not attack on my grammar. I therefore invite you to point to the grammatical errors in my article - except where I used 'owed up' instead of 'owned up'(an error I realized that evening after sending the article for publication and corrected before posting on NVS and my blog). I expected Tribune editor to edit it anyway, but must have escaped him too. Thankfully, our English master, Ola one, is on this thread to moderate.

Your use of the language is solid and the usual absence of typos in your write-ups shows that you do proof-read. THE POINT IS JUST THE SIDE YOU WERE QUICK TO TAKE ON THIS ISSUE. Ma Salam bro.

^{INTRESTINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. Space reserved............... (let me justify my pay for today first).}

Why don't we conduct proper background check on people before putting them in sensitive positions? Below is a link to a speech delivered by SLS in 1999 which clearly shows how much of a radical we have for a CBN Gov. He never knew he would become CBN Gov anyway. Someone with such radicalized mindset can never handle issues maturely like a CBN Gov. should.

http://www.nigerdeltacongress.com/iarticles/issues_in_restructuring_corporat.htm



@Jarus on the wrong side this time. i always love your comment on any thread safe the ones on SLS. YOUR ADMIRATION FOR THE MAN BLINDS YOU TO SO MANY THINGS.

Firstly, I am not and will never be a fan of Dele Momodu as I believe he is one of the many who has directly or indirectly profited from our commonwealth to fatten their bellies (u c the man now) and pockets. The memory of his association with "Gen. Maradona" and "Gen. Black Google" that brought him millions while the masses were suffering from the hands of these dictators still lingers on. He also benefited massively from the loots of his ex-bank chiefs dealt with by SLS. HOWEVER, HIS DESCRIPTION OF SANUSI AS A BULLY IN THE WRITE UP (imo)HITS THE BULL'S EYE.

The point of all the blah blah blah above from Dele Momodu - IN NIGERIA THE HUNTER (either justly or unjustly) ALWAYS END UP AS THE HUNTER.

SLS reforms are conceptually good but the execution are mostly laden with biase. He comes out to bambooze Nigerias (a section perhaps) with his oratory skills and bully the resistant ones to submission by his constant call for challenge and name calling (like he did to Baba Iyabo.

The following highlights the biase of SLS in some of his so called revolution @ CBN.

1. ISLAMIC BANKING

To begin with, I AM PROUDLY A MUSLIM. There is nothing i would love more than the practice of sharia in every facet of life (Social/economy/political) because i truly believe it is the path to peaceful co-existence. However, my ISLAM also teaches me TOLERANCE which calls for full appreciation/recognition of the MULTI-RELIGIOUS NATURE of this country. Truly, SLS met the idea on ground and leverage on it to promote the emergence of JAIZ ISLAMIC BANK (the first and only islamic bank in the country)owned by his close person (the former chairman of 1st bank when he was the MD). Despite, strong opposition, he shove it down our throat and only God stopped the outbreak of religious war in some parts of the country because of that. I became more puzzled the day i set my eyes on the balance sheet of JAIZ Bank and i saw interest earning from placement on it. Habaaa. What exactly is the essence of islamic banking? Is it not total avoidance of interest earning. So much for NON-INTEREST BANKING introduced by SLS. . A non-interest bank that is earning interest from fund placement. Na wa oooooo.


2. COINAGE OF N5 and N10.
SLS seems not to be in touch with the reality of the Nigerian society for even conceiving the idea and claiming it will not cause inflation. Every society has its own dynamics and Nigeria is in every sense "UNIQUE". Past experience in Naija has shown that turning a currency into coin is synonymous to public disappearance of that denomination. With this, SLS failed to realise that the step will automatically turn our SPENDING RANGE INTO 50s. Meaning no more Keke Napep for N30 or N40; Bariga to Gbagada not N40 again; common biscuit will begin to go for 4 for N50; etc. In theory, the step should not cause inflation but naija is not UK and the reverse of the theory will be the case. Afterall, economics itself is a social science (study of the society and every society is unique in its own sense).

I have prayed Jumat with SLS under the Marina bridge when he was still a Risk Mgt person @ UBA and i can tell he is in every bit not a commoner and has never been a commoner. But as a student of sharia why is he choosing to ignore the plight of the commoner when sharia in the real sense favours the commoners most. Is their any other motive behind this?

3. FUEL SUBSIDY REMOVAL

I watched with tears almost rolling down from my cheek the fuel subsidy debate on STV sometimes back. Prominent in attendance were SLS, NOI, Oshiomole, F. Falana. All except Falana spoke truly in defence of the masses. It was as if he already knew that the whole scheme was a scam (as we later witnessed). SLS and even Oshiomole were firmly in support of the removal of subsidy that never was in the first place. On that day i thought he was just another tool in the hand of the powers that be. ONLY FALANA RAISED THE FLAG OF HOPE FOR COMMON NIGERIANS ON THAT DAY. The effect of the subsidy removal is still choking us and you want to compound it with inflation from currency restructuring. Habbbbaaaaa.

4. BANKING REFORMS
This is a very controversial subject. I am sure it will still come up again one day. The reform was good but immaturely carried out and deeply laden with witch hunt and favouratism. The stress test that was conduct was nothing more than a bullet targeted at a few. IN FACT, IF AN OBJECTIVE STRESS TEST HAD BEEN CONDUCTED, NONE OF THE BANKS (SAFE GT (which didnt play much in the capital mkt) and STABIC (a specialist in investment banking that saw the crisis coming and dumped b4 it came)WOULD HAVE MANAGED TO PASS. They were all terribly exposed to the Capital Market and Oil & Gas Sector. Unity Bank was already Dead waiting to be pronounced as such but was given a chance to recapitalize and survive. As at that time they (including his so-called first bank) were all in shambles. Afterall that was where he saw all the trends as a risk person and later the MD. The reform was nothing but a selective judgement scheme.


I will say "HMMNNNNN A REFORM INDEED" and ask these few questions.

- If truly the industry is stabilized and sanitized as claimed by Jarus, WHY ARE SOME OF OUR BANKS, PARTICULARLY THOSE THAT BOUGHT SOME OTHER BANKS STILL EXPERIENCING LIQUIDITY STRAIN?

- MAINSTREET BANK is still battling its own crisis till today and they keep patching it up.


One can go on and on and on...........

I hope the pride and arrogance in the man will not prevent him from getting the message this time and thread softlyyyy.

I wish him well but also pray he changes his approach.

Gbawe: Illiterate fool. Can some of you not stop embarrassing yourself by exposing the hateful indoctrination you suffer from that means you are never willing to accept and acknowledge what the entire world, beyond Nigeria, accept about Yoruba people and culture?

As supplied earlier, google "prostrating" and view the results. Click the wikipedia hit to note that it is accepted that there are now informal versions of full prostration that including bowing. Some you, every single time you talk, just show you have been ethnically indoctrinated to fight, hate, aggravate and bellicosely confront others needlessly. Otherwise, here for example, you will not display this shocking ignorance and disrespect for aspects of Yoruba culture that is acknowledged and widely documented beyond even Nigeria. Interpreting the acknowledged culture of others to equate a sexual act just shows how ignorant and deviantly hateful some of you are.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostration

U beat me to it. I was abt copying it out of wikipedia for him. Thanks all the same.

Librate: [i][/i]

u re confused
prostrate u say? den y did ur chieftain bow at dat angle instead of prostrating since Buhari is 20+ older dan him
mark of respect by bl0w jobin

U either don't read properly or u are very d_ull. I said in some case. Then u shd have asked; which cases. In some cases refers to elders within ur family circle (I.e relative). Buhari is not tinubu's relaive. U get that into ur d_ull head.

Malawian: Now for the sucker punch before i go for breakfast

THE TRUE ORIGINS OF YORUBA DOBALE

YEAR: 1600

The hausa-fulani precipitate jihadist had just sacked old oyo, they rounded up all the remaining yoruba men bruised and greased. Now this jihadists are standing over this yoruba men with those glistering jihad swords by their sides. The yoruba Being the smart chaps they are, then and there on the spot invented a new culture of respect and submission to save their fledging lives.
now their impresionable kids seeing this and not knowing what it is decided it was their way of life. To be continued.

Itz either u are kidding urself or ur history is very rusty. Fulani jihad started in 1807 and even the leader was born in 1754 as against ur date of 1600. Lesson for you; if u want to invent false stories at least get some facts straight.

Librate: dat is nt d ansa to d question here.

Is dat aw u bow to ur elders wit ur eyes facing 189degree Southwest directly at their equipment eh?

Get some sense guy. And yes we bow for elders. In fact we prostrate in some cases. Why? We are respectful unlike a tribe that is well known for children waking up their mums with kicks.

Malawian: show me a fulani postrating or bowing to a yoruba ever! I never said there is anything wrong with bowing, i am only concerned about buhari's abunnam and tinubu's intentions in that picture. If i may ask, is it all yorubas will bow to buhari? This groin grabbing tinubu is supposed to be here representing all yoruba and you are here making excuse for him. Btw, who is buhari? Is it about age? Why dont tinubu go into the streets and ultra bow to those aged beggers litering it. Is it about money? That pauper buhari isnt he? Is it about status? Buhari leads a band of rag tag precipitates while tinubu leads the so called most sophisticated group in the planet. No there is no conclusive rational for that stoop if he wasnt looking for something around that region. What is tinubu's eyes saying in that picture? What about his cheecks? I need those answers asap. Yoruba this is your supreme leader here o. Una no go ask am question?

Firstly, what is the basis of your conclusion that tinubu represents the entire yoruba race? He is the leader of AC_N. His voice does not necessarily reflects the thinking of all yorubas. Yes AC_N is the ruling party in most yoruba states bt that is because the people believe in the candidates they fielded after the mess ups of pdp. Ondo is not governed by pdp and most yorubas did not vote for AC_N presidential candidates but rather GEJ. As for the bowing down, itz how we are culturally trained to respect elders. Hausas do squarting and rankadede and there are plenty of time when that has been done to people that are not of their ethnic origin.

@malawian: That slavery comment about yorubas shows that your brain needs years of serious repair. Tell me what is wrong in bowing to elders. Do you think if any of nothern politicians (not up to buhari's level and not in PDP) comes across obj; they will stand and shake hands will him. U'll need to be there to see how respectfull the rankadede will be. Iwo omo alaileko to nfi egbe baba e tayin. YANMIRI lasanlasan.

IMO, in a country where there are graduates whose means of livelihood is the job of a bus conductor (trust me, there are many out there), the scheme is not a bad idea. I bet those critizing this scheme have never felt the agony of being jobless for so long after NYSC and not having anyone to rely on for sustenance. Certainly, thousands must have sent in their applications by now.

However, what seems like a good idea might turn to regret later for some of the folks employed under this scheme. Just as asked by Jarus - WHAT IS THE CAREER PROGRESSION PLAN (CPP) FOR THIS SCHEME. I hope the CPP is not similar to that of outsourcing/contract employment by our so called banks and some multi-nationals which is nothing but exploitation of the highest order. HOW I WISH I CAN SET MY EYES ON THE EMPLOYMENT GRADING STRUCTURE FOR DANGOTE GROUP and see how this scheme is incorporated.

If the issue of CPP is not well addressed, then the scheme might indeed be a hell for these guys in the next few years.

I only hope the intense critism generated by this scheme will spur Dangote Group to address any loophole as to the future of the guys engaged.

Firstly, it is not only indians that practise cremation. A lot of religious bodies approves of it. As far a i know only Islam stoutly dissapproves of cremation.

@OP, as for your curiosity about why indians cremate. Below might help.

Most indians are hindu by religion. "According to Hindu philosophy the human body is a combination of five basic natural elements; namely agni (fire), jala (water), vayu (air), prithvi (earth) and akasha (space/ether). When one dies, fire (agni tattva) ceases, and that living form is sent to its original state of creation. Fire (in the form of cremation) is used to complete the fifth element.

According to Hindu traditions, the reasons for preferring to destroy the corpse by fire, over burying it into ground, is to induce a feeling of detachment into the freshly disembodied spirit, which will be helpful to encourage it into passing to "the other world" (the ultimate destination of the dead)"

You can search for cremation on wikipedia to further enlighten you. Link - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cremation

This david mark is a dictator in the making.

Why not just expunge freedom of expression frm our constitution. How on earth can a leader in a democratic set up seek 2 control social media (the voice of the people). May be he does not know what social media implies. Anyway i am not surprised abt his silly comment. He once said in the 90s that using telephone should not be a luxury for every1. Today, even street beggars use cell phones.

It's a shame. Nigerians deserve better than this myopic thinking imbec?le for a senate president.

xavier3g: Just cos someone tells you the truth does not mean he is evil. What kind of logical mind would relate a problem in governance to a solution football

I dont trade insult and i really dont engage in a conversation wth any1 that does that.

I asked the question 2 knw if u are 1 of the so called squad who only insult pple on this forum so that i can determine this conversation and note u accordingly.

Anyway, thanks for ur sarcasm. U'r welcome.

xavier3g: Kenechukwu, clap for yourself, well done! This your logic comes in at first place. Oya take your medal.

Are u one of the 40-Laptop squad?

FG should let her go and find another person of integrity with adequate years of experience and the right qualification for the job.

Or can't they find another person?

Na by force. Abi nkan mi wa nbe ni!

Honestly, this govt s_cks.

dadde: arrant nonsense. this lady has not been indicted of any fraudulent act. since the she was appointed based on her track record with similar position.
this woman is changing from the norms and everybody is crying.

You seem not to get the issue here.

The question is:

- Why the recommedation for her removal?

Answer: She does not have the pre-requisite years of experience for that job as stipulated by the constitution.

Not because of any alleged fraud.

Also, in the memo used to recall her by the FG, it was acknowledged that she was guilty of administrative lapse. Moreso, her inability to do the man-management aspect of her job is so obvious. Common, SEC is not a Barbing Saloon where you can get away with administrative lapses and poor man-management without dire consequences. For the leadership of SEC, every mistake counts.

If this woman returns to the NSE, she would be heading a group of saboteurs who will stop at nothing to make sure she fails. That is very bad for SEC and the economy in general.

This "ego war" is only at the detriment of our economy.

CONSIDER THIS SCENERIO

AVB was a winner b4 coming to Chealsea. A good coach no doubt. But his management of players (the big boyz) of chelsea was poor.

What happened next? They sabotaged his efforts. He had poor run of result.

He was removed. And what happened next?

They became Champion of Europe and won the FA Cup. A feat never achieved by the club.

It takes team work to achieve at a level like SEC and if the leadership for whatever reason looses the co-operation of the majority of the workforce, NA DISASTER OH. They should replace her with another competent person who will sanitize the place in a mature manner.[b][/b]

On the nationalization of Afribank, the committee detailed shocking highlights of the behind-the-scenes leading to the change. The committee said the bank's name was changed to "Mainstreet Bank Limited, a private company with share capital of 100,000 ordinary shares of N1 each, owned by two persons, Gideon Agbedo, a lawyer, and a certain Innocent Obi.

The committee said it found out the Articles and Memorandum of Association transferring the ownership to the individuals, was stamped and verified by the CAC authorizing them to "assume all or part only of the deposits and liabilities of Afribank" and to "purchase such assets of Afribank" as are acceptable to the board.

This meant a publicly quoted company was acquired by a private company owned by two persons, the committee said.

Further, a Certificate of Incorporation no RC 969929 dated 5th August, 2011, signed by Bello Mahmud, Registrar General-CAC , certified that Mainstreet Bank was previously called 'SHOKO CHUKIN LIMITED'"



[size=15pt]This must be a prank; and a very expensive one. I hope itz nowhere near the truth.[/size]

ikooko: The truth is soludo quietly bail-out some banks while in office, unity bank was one of them. he simply injected funds into them and ensure overhaul of their management.
If you expect any report from SLS, youre wasting your time. do you know why? because the criteria he used for those banks, no bank in this country can survive it even FBN. so what did that tell you? the cabal wanted some people & some banks out of business.
SLS is not what he pretends to be nor practice what he preaches; in fact, he is just another m-o-d-a-f-o-k-a like faruk lawan. lazy bunch of golddiggers.

Well said bro. Read my comment just above your. But i will advise that you should not blow it yet as some pro SLS will come out gun blazing after you. I dont blame them; THEY KNOW NOT. Letz hope the reps will follow this through. LAWAN and OTE$ saga will be a dwarf beside this one.

For the first time I can see our Reps trying to call a spade a spade here. Stripping Eras and Ibru of title is only a minute part of their recommendations. The recommendations really make sense and if followed through, Nigerians might be in on another "Can of Worms" waiting to be opened. This might expose shady dealings of those masquerading themselves as revolutionist of the financial sector and the economy at large. Time will tell.

ballabriggs: Was it a probe into the Capital market or the banking sector crisis? I laugh at these jokes we call our representatives.

You definitely have little understanding of the Nigerian Capital Market vis-a-vis the nationalization of those banks and the fraudulent indictment of share price manipulations / insiders' dealings levied against Ibru and Akingbola. Always have adequate knowledge about issues before making condemning comments.

Anyway, Good call by the Reps. Hope they will follow this through.

NeuroBoss: These muslims self dey try everybody. They feel too important and holy in their mind while others are fanatically called ''infidels''. In Ilorin where I live, they block every major highways and set up tents causing traffic gridlocks on Fridays. If they hear that a church building is being proposed some 100 meters away from their mosques, they come to threaten you to abandon the project. If Islam is truly a religion of peace and muslims are peace-loving, why can't they in the interest of peace tell their women to go inside when they heard the Oloolu was coming afterall, they were in a social gathering not in their mosques. I've only bared my mind no mischief intended and ready to take in the expected comments. God save us!
