Cavs were up 27 in 3rd quarter and still lost to the Heat. Incredible. Too many butter puffs in the East. Frankly, those Cav palyers should be sent to the D league. |

A-40: True. sadly, no stars, no ring. They usually entertain us in regular season and flame out in playoffs. Maybe they can reach western finals this year |

The C's still found a way to lose this one. Up double digits in fourth quarter and failed to close. So who can cool down this Heat? Not any of the scrubs in the East for sure. And after last night the Heat officially own the Celtics. Yes KG didn't play but it was a winnable game all the same |

A-40: Rather unfortunate. Few players come back from knee injury and continue playing in top form. Knicks have to release him next year via the amnesty clause to free cap space. Not sure the CBA rules on this. Bulls must have similar concern with Rose Kincks are looking at another first round exit. |

A-40: They may still get the 6th seed. Right now, its a four way race (Warriors, Rockets, Jazz & Lakers) for 6,7 & 8 seed. Always love the West. Kobe is a fierce and competitive guy. And I bet he'll carry that team to the playoffs even with broken fingers and all. People forget the intangibles this guy brings every single night and focus on the highlight reels (dunks, blocks, fast break points etc) from Lebron. |

Omo_Tier1: I see you've dropped the dubious comparison of Lagos vs. UK. Good! we're getting somewhere I get it. short term investing in the U.K is not profitable. Still an investment manager with over $1 billion will put 90% in the UK. and 10% in Nigeria. In the mid 90s the U.K was in a deep recession and bounced back by end of the decade. It's just the economic cycle. In 5/6 yrs time we may be singing a different tune |
Politics / Re: Lagos Economy Rated Above Ghana, UK - Fashola by occam(m): 9:06pm On Mar 06, 2013 |
Omo_Tier1: Continue with this play of words. Lagos ranking was in the context of Nigeria. No agency will ever compare a state to country. |

mikeansy: So you guys are talking about Credit rating then? which affects Lagos State's ability to borrow money from Internation agencies! This is exactly what we mean. He didn't understand the statement he made. Sadly, there aren't critical minded journalist present to seek further clarification. So this bogus statement will be accepted as fact by people and young 'uns 1 Like |

successcertain: Fashola argued that the yardstick for measuring good governance could only be done by those who know, adding that the economy of Lagos is now rated ahead of Ghana and the United Kingdom. Nothing is settled. I believe Fashola is doing a great job but when he made this statement it left me scratching my head How can he compare Lagos state to 2 countries (U.K. & Ghana)? Apples to apples is you compare Nigeria vs. UK. or Ghana Which rating agency put out this number? Is this short or long term rating? Lagos (Nigeria) grew faster than the U.K in last 3 yrs. We know that! What Fashola said is disingenuous and confusing. Was this deliberately put out there or he simply did not understand the statement he made? No need for hyperbolas just stick to the facts; verifiable facts. That's all. All credit agencies rate the U.K. way above Nigeria (and Lagos too) That's a fact you can verify Unless otherweise, Fashola just put out a bulshyte stats to look good |

Afam4eva: You even have to go back to "The Dream" and after that no Nigerian players has been relevant. Olowakande was picked #1 in 1998 draft yet he was a flop. Guess basketball is not a Naija thing |

demmie1: You're wrong. Financial ratings are not based on economic growth only but other factors You don't want to appear like you making up stuff. Saying Lagos is rated above U.K looks like he's picking up stats from the air |
Politics / Re: Lagos Economy Rated Above Ghana, UK - Fashola by occam(m): 6:00pm On Mar 06, 2013 |
Eko Ile: U.K. was just recently downgraded from Triple A just like S & P downgraded the U.S. Nevertheless, they are still attracting trillions of dollars investment yearly. Fashola is sometimes prone to rhetorical flourishes and creates issues out of nothing. Key message: Lagos is building for the future and good for business. Period. Comparing risk ratings of U.K. and Lagos state is just crap. |
Politics / Re: Lagos Economy Rated Above Ghana, UK - Fashola by occam(m): 5:41pm On Mar 06, 2013 |
Eko Ile: Which agency rating is he talking about? Fitch, S & P rating are based on risk probability. What is the risk that an entity/govt will default on loan obligations. Tell me how Britain is more riskier to invest in than Lagos state |
Politics / Re: Lagos Economy Rated Above Ghana, UK - Fashola by occam(m): 5:32pm On Mar 06, 2013 |
Eko Ile: Fashola is doing a superb job and no need make a dumb statement like this. So Lagos is rated above the City of London? Context matters when we say stuff. |

Politics / Re: Nigeria Among World's Major Investment Destinations - KPMG by occam(m): 8:30pm On Mar 04, 2013 |
Global Chairman, KPMG International, Mr. Michael Andrew, who was on his first visit to the country last week, told reporters in Lagos that Nigeria and the other countries among the MINTs have attracted increasing investment offers and enquiries through the services of KPMG, amongst others investment and financial advisories, with the view of taking advantage of the high rates of return on investment. So this is what people are excited about? A bland statement designed to make his Naija hosts feel good. No numbers or stats to prove anything; just speculation. What is the trend? Which sectors are they making offers or enquirers about? Nigeria has always been and will continue to be a potential market to invest, nobody doubts this. The only question is when will this POTENTIAL translate into real and sustainable investment? Confidence in the Nigerian equity market is still very low due to transparency issues. So who are the investors waiting on the sidelines to pile on cash into the market? Will an investment manager with over $500 billion in his portfolio be prepared to put just 5% in the Nigerian market? Geez! It must be a slow news day if this is today’s top news 1 Like |
Sports / Re: The NBA Begins by occam(m): 5:56pm On Mar 04, 2013 |
Yes, it's the stretch run with 6 weeks for the playoffs to start The Lakers are slowly catching the Rockets for a playoff spot. IF they clinch 8th spot, meet the Spurs and IF Tony Parker remains injured they may just reach the 2nd round. And who knows somehow get to the West finals. And IF they win the West we may see a Heat vs. Lakers final. Yes, I know I'm getting ahead of myself and many IFs have to fall in to place for Lakers to even sniff the 2nd round Meanwhile, the Heat have a stranglehold on the East and yesterday showed the world that nobody can touch them. BTW, where are the Celtics these days? |
Politics / Re: Fashola Visits Ladipo Market (Pictures) by occam(m): 5:34pm On Mar 04, 2013 |
PointB: Besides, is there no Environmental Protection/Sanitation Agency in the state (Lagos)? What exactly is their job description? That place looks like hell hole and must remain shut for the foreseeable future. Yes, Fashola must investigate what went wrong with his environmental agency. We all know Nigerian govt agencies - Customs, Education, Health etc are a cesspit of corruption that never get shyte done. It's not unique to Lagos; we see this with all states and federal agencies. That said, inaction by citizens is not an option. These traders should have ensured the place remained clean regardless of ineptitude of the Sanitation agency. Levy members, and let commissioner or governor know what they are doing to keep their environment clean. They didn't do that. In typical Nigerian fashion they conduct business their everyday and can’t be bothered to keep it clean and safe Now they are paying the price and they must. This has nothing to do with tribalism |

inufele2: It's the only way forward bro. And I hope this is Fashola's plan: Shut down the market permanently and relocate them. Then build office blocks or ultra modern markets to trade in non hazardous goods |

9ja_I_hail: You can blow all your tribal bigotry all day long, that market will be closed for the foreseeable future. And when it opens no more spare parts must sold there. Lagos doesn't need that kind of business. Lagos govt should clean up the place and convert it to modern office blocks or ultra modern market. But not a wreckers yard/tokunbo parts market. Compensate these traders and move them out of the Lagos metropolis. The best and only sensible option |

unbe-fucking-believable! This guys are racking in so much cash and can't take care of their environment? Lagos state govt must be resolute and not give in. Close the market for as long as possible. Our enviroment is most important thing and must not be held hostage by 1,500. They can go do business anywhere else. It's not by force to sell parts at Ladipo Ladipp market is prime location and can be used for other types of business. Selling parts.close to residential areas is not wise anyway. Relocate them to out of town site. Period. 1 Like |

Celebrities / Re: Kim Kardashian On Goldie & Her Visit To Nigeria by occam(m): 5:23pm On Feb 27, 2013 |
elampiro: No doubt Kim loves scandals, thrives on it and uses it to self promote her name. That's her calling card and that's how she makes her money. Fine. In fact, this visit to Nigeria created some ripples in the U.S. gossip press and sites (check mediatakeout). Does she care about the controversy? Absolutely Not. It feeds the narrative that the Kadarshian family is a train wreck and their reality show attracts more audience. It's the knuckle head Dare that paid so much that caused so much uproar. Why do black people make stupid decisions when oyibo is involved? Why do people like Dare portray Africans as people that were raised from the corn field? Anyone in the entertainment biz knows that associating with the Kadarshians is a brand killer. 1 Like |

Chicolee: @Kim Kardashian Haters Nothing to hate, just pointing out that this Dare guy thinks with his d.yke not his head. What's the value of using Kim to promote your music? Even Kanye her boyfriend, his slowly distancing himself from the Kadarshian clan. His brand has been hurt cos of his association with Kim. Oprah would have come in for free and promoted Dare's music. Oprah is a world renowned "black woman" not some white trash. The Irony? nobody is talking about Dare's music but the stupid Kadarshian visit. 1 Like |
