SportsRe: Breaking News: Jonathan Reverses Ban On Super Eagles Hours To Fifa Deadline! by occam(m): 6:37pm On Jul 05, 2010
He blinked! The whole episode was a distraction in the frist place.  Ok Jonathan, go back to more pressing matters like your 3 or 4 point agenda.

beats me why the President was deeply invloved in the first place. Don't we have a Sports Minister to take care of stuff like this?
BusinessRe: What Type Of Business Can Someone Start With N40,000 by occam(m): 4:46am On Jul 04, 2010
@poster
This is the wrong question to ask. First, you identify the business, do your research, put together a plan and then figure out how much you need to start up.  

If you have N40k, save it till you have a solid plan for your business.

SportsRe: Argentina Vs Germany At [0 - 4] On 3rd July @ World Cup 2010 by occam(m): 4:03am On Jul 04, 2010
well the Argentine football Federation rolled the dice on Maradona to bring them the WC and they lost out big time. No defence, no world cup. Maradona simply gambled that his players will score so much goals, opponents will be overwhelmed.

People said he inspired his players and gave them fredoom to play to their strength. Still, a great coach should have tactical plan (Xs and Os) as well. The guy had no clue and came up short against a well organised German team.
TravelRe: Are Nigerian Hotels And Guest Houses Over-priced? by occam(m): 3:12am On Jun 25, 2010
How much do these hotels spend per month on diesel and engine oil, wages, advertisement, taxes, interest, cost of goods (drinks etc) vehicles, miscellaneous? Anyone has a ballpark figure?

Vs potential revenue of N21 million per month (N35, 000 * 20 *30)
Assuming:
N35, 000 (average nightly charge)
20 (number of rooms occupied per day)
30 (days in a month)

Is this price gouging or simply the high cost of running a hotel in Lagos?  Still, N35,000 seems too high to pay for hotel in Lagos

According to UNESCO definition, a person is illiterate who cannot with understanding both read and write a short simple statement of his (her) everyday life.  Up to 47 million Nigerians may be considered illiterate. This is way too high

Literacy is not assessed on English proficiency, but ability to communicate ideas and pass on information in your local language.

For instance in traditional medicine, how many of our local healers can document their healing methods in a local Nigerian language?  Illiteracy definitely impacts culture, politics, health and survival of our traditional practices.

PoliticsRe: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by occam(m): 2:24am On Jun 10, 2010
@Princek12: my friend, you miss the point

My point is this: regardless of status or where we live, most Nigerians and blacks in general face the same issue of racism. It's not about seeking approval from white folks.  I'm sure most people will understand the point I'm putting across.
Foreign AffairsRe: South African 1st Lady Pregnant. Paternity In Doubt by occam(m): 1:49am On Jun 10, 2010
terrific!!! the great President Zuma. grin 5 days to the greatest event in your countries' history and this crap surfaces. well u can't make this up
PoliticsRe: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by occam(m): 1:20am On Jun 10, 2010
here  we go again! us vs them. Nigerian's abroad vs Nigerians at home. It's this kind of nigga mindset that continues to hold us back. Good people, this comparison is so childish.  To the poster: so what if you can travel to the UK 4 times a year. When you go shopping in Harrods, Selfridges etc, an oyinbo man  still sees you as a nigga; no special status dude. To the world, all of us nigerians are the same.

we need to stop dissing each other & focus on working together. No wonder after 50 yrs, Nigeria is still a land of potential but no growth.
