TravelRe: Nigeria Immigration Deports 25 Chinese With Irregular Residential Permits by pleep(m): 3:58pm On Jun 21, 2012
Some of you guys have been suggesting prison time for these illegal immigrants, this is a bad idea. Imprisoning someone requires money to provide food and shelter, money is also spent to transport them back to china.

What we should do is impose a fine,I think 1000$ + is reasonable, seeing as they have jobs and businesses. The businesses,of course, should also be confiscated. It would also be nice is we could get the Chinese government to pay the cost of transport back to China, but since that is unlikly i suggest they be held in some sort of confinement facility were they work until they are able to pay their own way back.

All in all we should make it so no extra money is spent on them, as a developing country Nigeria's money is better spent elsewhere.
RomanceRe: Disadvantages Of Dating A Fat Woman(orobo) by pleep(m): 2:13am On Mar 16, 2012
Some Orobo's are hot in their own right, some are not; some Lepa's are hot in their own right, some are definitely not. Whichever is your choice, go for it!
No, actually 97% of fat women are unattractive. Why did you feel the need to post this three times? are u trying to convince yourself?

Women are oftentimes very stupid. If he only wanted to have sex with you he would have spent more money not less. Tell your friend that she doesn't deserve any better, because she doesn't.

I don't like armed robbers but this man should have shot at the mob and killed as many as he could. People are disgusting creatures.

PoliticsRe: Nigeria Set To Become Cement-exporting Nation — Dangote! by pleep(m): 1:47am On Feb 14, 2012
Arosa:
What type of economy do you advocate for Nigeria then.
Isolationism.  High tariffs on all foreign products and domestic production geared towards the domestic market. In this model economic growth will be almost stagnant after the first few years, but the standard of living will be good. atleast everyone would have a job and the government would get a steady stream of tax revenue in addition to the oil revenue witch can be used for defense or service spending.

contrast this to our current model which results in high economic growth and a lowering standard of living/ employment.
PoliticsRe: Nigerians Living In Poverty Rise To Nearly 61% by pleep(m): 9:09pm On Feb 13, 2012
[quote author=Number_One link=topic=870103.msg10189604#msg10189604 date=1329162814]I think part of the problem is the foreign exchange. The Dollar has fallen and so has the Naira. Poverty line used to be those living below US$1 a day. Now it is US$2 per day. Naturally, more folks will become poor if the US$2 yardstick is used. Dollar used to be N150. Now its N160 and climbing.

So doing the math: In 2004 someone living on US$1 per day (N150) was NOT poor. Now, the same person in 2010 living on US$1.90 (N304) which is less than US$2 is considered poor. How? The figures don't add up.[/quote]great point.

I am actually glad to hear this 61% figure. The average for africa is around 80%.  

Early in the 20th century the figure was around 10% if u notice as the standard of living in the developed world gets better it drops in Africa. You see the only way its possible for americans to live the way they do is by the magority of the world being poor.

I belive there is a set amount of money in the world, and its all about distribution.

Someone on this thread stated that Dangote would not be able to survive in an international market without governement favors. That is true, but the favors are neccesary, because other governments do it for their exporters most notably the chinese with their artificially lowered currency.

As great as this news is i never advoated an export based economy for this reason. It is a drain of government funds, and not sustainable for a country without much tax revenue like nigeria.
PoliticsRe: The Way Nigerians Insult Their Country! by pleep(m): 8:47pm On Feb 13, 2012
There two types of intellectual i[i]dio[/i]ts most commonly found on the internet.

type 1. Doest listen to statisitics, polls etc, and claims they are made up

type 2. Doesnt listen to common sense unless its in a statistic.


Kobojunkie is i[i]di[/i]ot number #2 and there is no point debating with her.


That being said it is obvious that nigerians insult their country more than other groups in Africa. Its because of a lack of nationalism. We arent nationalistic because of several reasons, Ethnic dis-homogenity, religious dis-homegenity and no historical evens that could have brought the country together.

Compared to Nigeria Ethiopia is a pretty crappy place (no offense) but for the most part they have ethnic homogenity (several similar groups ruling the others) and important nationalistic events like fighting the italians and winning.

All the other crappy countries in africa that remain nationalistic are similar, they will all have some sort of homogenity be it religion, ethnicity or w/e
RomanceRe: My Love For Small Girls: Is It Normal? by pleep(m): 1:40am On Dec 11, 2011
Well, op you are a pedophile, but not the worst kind. There is a special bracket of pardophilia that desires post-pudescent girls between the ages of 14-17.

And honestly people it's not a big deal. I personally find it disagagreeable that a man of your age likes women that young, and even more so that you are having sex with them and luring them with money.
But besides that is not that "shocking and horrendous" in most cultures when a man marries a much younger woman, even though we may disagree with it from our western perspectives.
RomanceRe: Girls Can You Wash Your Boyfriend's Car? by pleep(m): 8:16am On Dec 10, 2011
Washing a car everyday is excessive, that's coming from a car fanatic.

But anyway, some of you ladies need to take a close look at what exactly you bring to the table in a relationship.
