BlueDiva: He's just a young chap and wants to know more.
Thankfully he is not asking for advice on how to ask a girl out.

Lol........ You're exact with this, the norm for youths nowadays is to seek advice on how to make or break his/her heart, woo her, and others, please go to the romance section, dem plenty there.

Nawa o, can't even figure out which one i am, i guess am san/chol........ Strange combination, abi?

^^ Geez! Madam, what is happening?

^^^ bros, she is just being nice to tell us all these, but my people would not want to hear such cos of the 'blunt' way she did it, that is it, we want lies, you know what, if it is even possible for the illitrates and the primary school cert. holders to be paid that huge salary, we dont care/mind.
Btw, we are the 'freshies' and i hope we come back to our senses someday.

sawyer89: Mr Debosky< stressing the 2nd syllable>! I must confess that I admire your analysis prowess. Initially, I thought na football vis-à-vis Arsenal matters you fi excellently analysed <pun intended> but I had for long been proven otherwise.
Hoping to see you on ESPN one of these days exhibiting your potential but that will obviously be after you are done "choping" oyel money.
Brother,Following you bumper-to-bumper <apology to Wande Coal>

Exactly! I'd thought oga debosky can only do this kinda in-to-to analysis on football matters, but you really proved my thoughts wrong, thumbs up bros,
I must say this, we have lots of super-intellectuals on nairaland and i really admire you guys, especially the 'constructive criticisms path', believe me, when you people fight/argue on a subject, some willing to and attentive are learning. Please, may i say that you guys have many fans (both off and online), so please continue with all these, you are making people's lives. God bless

@bluediva, i represent naija undergraduates/fresh graduates/nysc members and perhaps the jobseekers too, and they told me to tell you this:
'Seriously, you are on point with all that you have said, but we all will never agree with you, why?
1. Number one, you are quite blunt with it, see, we want pattings on our back, our sores that needs urgent treatment shouldnt be taken care of now, we prefer a cancerous one before giving it the necessary attention. You want to inflict instant but temporary pain on us by telling us all this, meanwhile we want the opposite, so, LEAVE US ALONE.
2. Also, sister, at least, to some level, you are there and you are enjoying, so why discouraging us, that's the way it should be for us too, by the way, come to think of it, we all need a comfortable life, and evidently, its the oyel money that will do that easily and effectively, so? Joor o, dont spoil our dreams for us o.
3. Lastly, it is our dear naija that has caused it, yes, but wait! I think it is all over too now?, at least anything trending in the west must be doubled here too, it is no sin, please leave us alone jare, we know what we are doing, abi you think it is only you that will enjoy oyel/subsidy money? Abegi.

Mind you dont ever try to discourage us again o, we are on a straight and wide road that leads to 'them oyel companies', no going back, till we get to our destination. Hahahaha.

Na today? Mukina, abeg next story joor.

Jarus: After more than 3 years of intense debate on issues CBN on NL , I have actually decided to softpedal on debates that have to do with Sanusi. Although the primary reason why I have not been so active on this currency discourse is because I have been involved in so many things of late and hardly have time for these long posts and back-and-forth debates again. But having been at the forefront of his defence in the past, I think people that sought to know my take on this issue are very right.

First, I have never hidden my fanship of SLS, far before he became CBN boss(check this March 2009 thread: https://www.nairaland.com/248924/role-model-corporate-nigeria. But our path never crossed until sometime last year. One thing you can't take from SLS is his openness and breaking down of communication. I am not the first person to publish an unofficial communication with him (one Zainab something did during the subsidy wahala, as did Tunde Fagbenle, popular Punch columnisthttp://www.punchng.com/viewpoint/sanusi-lamido-sanusi-and-me/). SLS is one of the very few public officers in Nigeria that are very accessible and breaks class barrier to interact when public officers dont shield themselves from us nobodies in the society and everyone can just literally walk up to a public officer and seek clarifications.

What I only did here was to post his response to some clarifications I sought from him over the weekend at least to raise NL profile, not necessarily to convince anyone, but to present his case. I did not record it. I just picked the main points from the 17 minutes dicussion. I did not even seek his permission to post this. In hindsight, I think I erred not seeking his permission, especially now that his critics like Pat Utomi have latched on to this largely informal discussion and circulating on his website and FB page.

My personal take: I am very much in support of N5000 note introduction, but I still have issues with the higher denominated coins. But then, what is wrong with in giving him benefit of doubt?

NB: My major take-home from this thread as an active Nairalander for more than 5 years plus now is that most Nairalanders (nay Nigerians) are actually genuine in their criticisms and not necessarily driven by sentiments in their criticism of public officers. This is why Ajanlekoko, Ekt Bear and few other top critics of SLS (including Seun)over years actually saw reason in this policy, when they are usually at the front of anti-SLS debates. I think analysis on NL will be good for it if we look at individual cases/events/policies rather than the face of the bearer. This is why I think most of us are being unfair to GEJ not seeing any good in whatever comes from his government. I have personally reviewed my assessment of GEJ based on more facts(but that is a matter for another day).

Bros, going by the bolded, it is evident that you havent stated the reasons behind your take on this matter.

To be realistic, this will do more harm than good to the economy, if we should go into the fundamental and the technical analysis of this policy, it will be clear to us that policies like this will only have adverse effect on our economy. Historically, inflation has been one big problem or limitation of this policy, 5k note will only increase the price of goods and services, perhaps you should check the last time something like this was done and assess the inflationary effects, even the mere introduction of new notes of existing denominations caused a lot of problems then, so, he (sls) shouldnt pretend to be alienic to this.
Furthermore, it will aid the hoarding and laundering practices by our heartless leaders/politicians, we all know the prevailent rate of corruption in Nigeria, unfortunately we've been battling with this for long, part of what our people (leaders) should be doing now is to formulate policies and develop feedback in order to assess the effectiveness of these policies and aid sound control, but alas, they do things that favour them directly thinking we the masses are fools.

Btw, please tell me how this sls new policy will help the existing ones, like the cashless economy policy, introduction of 5k note will gradually anihilate the cashless thing, how? our people will like to carry cash around since it wont be bulky anymore, 1m can easily be with you without people noticing that, and that disqualifies the points behind the campaign for a cashless economy. we shouldn't hide under the canopy of familiarity and ......, whatever is not okay is not. Well, perhaps, you come and tell us why you like this policy, i will personally appreciate it sir.

By the way, @jarus, please what is your take on this? I hope your opinion wont be influenced by the relationship that exists between you and Mr Sanusi.

It is a pity, in a bid to improve our economy, our bank chief is destroying it the more at a geometric rate. One step forward, two steps backward. You just watch out and see where this ends. By God's grace, we shall all live to see it.

Mhen! I like Deji Bademosi reporting style, he is my best T.V personality right from time, the way he takes it, in terms of pure investigation and direct reporting incorporating indept analysis which will always sway the feet of those that care, attract the government's attention, and perhaps leave his work colleagues amazed is incomparable. I just hope he gets a better place where he will be able to display freely more of his reporting abilities without the interference of the management.
'............. I am Deji Bademosi, reporting live from Channels television'.

[quote author=trae_z]When it comes to marraige guys feel blessed when they meet that ideal type chick: intelligent, social, hardworking and decent (good manners, virgin and all...she no tear eye for guys/immorality). Yet in reality an overwhelming majority of guys can't do without sex and the thrills of the fast life; and so are open to exploring. So how do you/have you managed the wanting to eat your cake and have it thing?[/quote]Hmmmmm! Bros, though am not married, but what you said is the truth, these guys are having their ideal chicks/wives at home, and they will still go out to fulfil their inordinate desires, to me it is idio.tic and crazy, why not be faithful in your marriage and avoid being a called a 'chronic cheater', thats the Godly and even the ideal way (if religion is out of it).
So, egbon, go and marry your ideal woman and live a faithful, peaceful and better life. Do all the exploring you want to do with your wife. PEACE

AjanleKoko: Which thread exactly?

Whaoh! Happy birthday to you, bros, more years ahead. You rock!

Whaoh! Happy birthday to you, bros, more years ahead.

Seriously, this man is just taking advantage of the high unemployment rate in Nigeria, just that i would'nt blame him, it is the state of the economy, at least, he is contributing to the minute reduction of unemployment in naija, dont forget that while he's doing this we have some other good-for-nothing, id.iotic f.o.ols having the stolen resources and laundered money, and instead of investing the unjust wealth acquired in their country, all they do is to either invest in the western economies or 'hoard' the monies. It is crazy, we have millions of unemployed youths and graduate in the streets of every city in naija looking for jobs
So i think he (dangote) is trying, just that it is unfair.
As for me, my take is this, 'it is all about choice, if you as a graduate want to work for dangote (as a truck driver), fine, if not, enjoy your continual and consistent 'waka' on the streets till you find your type of job'.
God bless me and you.
God bless dangote.
God bless Nigeria.

I love my work

^^^ lol

Have missed this thread.

@op, you are a mumu for starting this thread, displaying your gurl's picture for landers to make jest of, imagine the third post after your post. You are a real mumu if you actually did.

Vickyt: Please ignore my typographical error!

I am yet to gain admission but the process is on to gain admission into a school in nigeria. Mean while, i'm a non science student & now i have been given direction from God after about 4 years of seeking admission in school. Just to confirm the divine direction, an uncle from abroad who has not called me for a long time, called 2 days ago that i should not continue to nurse my ambition on been accountant or any non science related course that it won't be beneficial to me in future and he suggested that i should read NURSING that my moving abroad later in future will be my greatest gain i can ever imagine
Now i'm are stucked in between the deep blue sea. 1. If i'm to pursue this career, i will have to go back to become a science student 2. The major thing the science student i have seek their opinion is that physics and chemistry will be my headache. 3. I'm 23 now still seeking admission into university. That means if i should venture into been a science student that means i will have to battle with my family members as regards this decision.

Please somebody help me a right. I realy don't know how to go about this. All suggestions are allowed including abuses if i deserve one but constructive please.

Don't just read please contribute your idea might be useful. Thanks

I will advise you to take your case to the religion section first, after that, then come back.
