I have a beach home in Atlantic City which we've boarded up. Evacuation is still going on. The casinos will not be operating this weekend.
I tried to go buy cases of water and packs of candles but virtually all the Walmart Stores are sold out.  My garage can only take one car and i'm still trying to find a shelter for my other car. I was going to park it in our local hospital garage but it seems everybody had the same idea. I don't want a tree falling on my car oh!
The way they are announcing this hurricane is scaring the crap out of me.

tpia@:

the things sunk a whole boat and ate about 8 or so people.

the women put on bikinis to make themselves easier to eat perhaps?  

didnt quite get the logic there since the men were fully dressed.

Well, she's gone. Gone for Good. See the way they were suffocating the babe, On top Criteria.

I'm Yoruba, and I don't yab guys that approach me. Quit generalizing. How hard is that?

So, you're even married. Se iyawo yin yab yin when you toasted her?

Typical Naija way of reasoning.

rareman:
hello peeps, what's it over dis issue, by now I suppose everyone should have been tired of d junke called phcn, I don't care who owes it what I want is constant power supply, I stay in a room and parlor apartment 1 fridge 1 tv no ac I pay 6000 + every month with insults from those goons who call themselves marketers, upon that I had to que on line to pay d bill yet for the past 4 days I ve not seen a blink of light. Now u want me to still keep up with them, Nigerians are already paying high tariff, all they can do for us is to decentralize the power sector so that we can have choice just as we do with telecom sector

Jenifa_:
have you ever seen a naija woman playing hard to get for a rich or successful man?
besides if you are taking about the UK or US most of those women are single at 33 are that way for a reason. If you look at their black american and carribean counterparts you will notice that most are unmarried as well. only difference is that they are more likely to be baby mamas while nigerian women are less likely to be baby mamas.

just speaking from my own perspective as a female and some of the guys I meet.
I personally WILL NOT play hard to get for a financially stable, disciplined and responsible guy who looks like a marriage material. but such guys are so rare.
most of the guys out there are irresponsible and just looking for a ride. and i'll really rather be a professionally successful single at 33 than be a baby mama for a useless fool.

trust me, if u are professionally ok, with a good head on your shoulders, you will have absolutely no problem with most naija women.  just that such guys are rare nowadays.
does that answer your question?

davidylan:
A category 5.8 "earthquake" that caused minimal damage to buildings and no loss of lives is why you are acting so important?   Now we know you live in the US . . . next?

davidylan:
evacuate loun loun. Nigerians are too fearful.
Make una tanda dia abeg. Nothing will happen to you.

Dr Akingbola is the Madoff of Nigerian banking, a crook who brazenly diverted funds to his wife’s companies while emasculating all his top management executives. He hides behind the cloak of religiosity using his “Christian” carapace to fool members of the public. He has decimated an institution by refusing to hire competent managers and allowing parochial ethnic and religious considerations to influence key judgements. Even junior staffers of the bank are taught that the bank is built on Jesus and cannot be "pulled down" by detractors. This sort of shallow thinking encourages sloth and inefficiency. How can managers be effective when they are not held accountable for their actions?

Jenifa_:
That's a good point and my fear.
If we mess up for any reason we are doomed.

I'm pretty sure Russia also has large stakes with the UK as well. esp with the collapse of soviet union.
so Russia also would be wary of messing with UK.

In the case of Nigeria, I don't see any stake Brazil has with us.
besides, this won't be the first time we will invite foreign firms to take over our industries. things haven't been always successful in the past.

I think Nigeria should negotiate the deal so that even if Brazil wants to invest in it, we should have a large stake in it as well so that it is not 100% brazil owned.

eku_bear:
Demonstrate that he only hired Christians, lent money according to Christian principles, etc before you call it a Christian bank.

Anyway, Christianity is a fairly fragmented religion. Saying "Christian" bank wouldn't even mean much. Are you saying that as a Catholic he was biased in favor of Catholics? Or only hired other Jehovah's Witnesses?

Wtf does Christian bank even mean, when Christianity is fairly fragmented itself?

We gathered that top banker confessed recently that most of the things he reads in the Bible help him to run the bank. Also, we gathered that doesn't joke with Redeemed Church activates. For instance, he goes to church on Saturdays for Sunday school review and ministers meeting. On Sundays, he leaves his home for church by 6:30am to start workers meeting. Thereafter, he attends kiddies Sunday school. After that, he goes back to school till 1pm. Then he comes back for evening service. He also travels across the world preaching and winning souls for Christ

Here is the man's profile from Business Week:
http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/people/person.asp?personId=26253126&ticker=INTERCON:NL

So by virtue of this man also being a pastor at his church, something part of his PRIVATE LIFE, then the company he happens to be MD of becomes a Christian bank?

Na wa o

Supposedly 70% or so of students are failing WAEC. . . I am starting to understand why

efisher:
Ok thanks, I get your point. You mean electricity is naturally "monopolistic". Yeah that's true.

The way liberalization can work as you said is in power generation. Let's start from there. Government can concentrate its efforts and funds in the transmission and distribution aspects. Alternatively, allow several regional players. Eg o[b]ne company per state or per geopolitical region[/b] etc. The key is efficient regulation.

Jenifa_:
I guess ekt bear answered the question.

eku_bear:
Either I'm inconsistent, or you are too stvpid to understand the point being made. One of the two.

Jenifa_:
It doesn't really matter what the people think. people will always think for their short term pockets.

but govt should be more concerned about national security rather than just some middle and upper class folks. govt main purpose is to protect national interest. that's what they are elected for.

as you have seen from ppl's post, PHCN not worth up to 5 billion.

would you also support privatization of water supply?

to a foreign firm?

and what happens when that country gets mad at us. we thirst to death?

anyway this is my last comment on this issue with you. I think I have made my point clear.

Jenifa_:
How do you guys trivialize these matters so?
Countries go to war with each other over stuff like this (ie US and Iraq conflict mostly has to do with the fact that Iraq refused to privatize it's oil industry)

how can you even compare apple to pchn? 
one is more strictly economical. the other is more political/ national interest.
the 100 billion price tag is that way for a reason. controlling a country's energy supply is much more than just the money. In fact, there shouldn't be a price tag on it if our govt is sensible at all.
