oh he sent a link, I didn't see that part... standin under d sun readin his comment dats why... I willcheck it asap

OK. I thought it was a case of the 'Blackman not reading things with rigor'

I apologize.
There was a recent breakthrough in Germany with their own version of the nuclear reactors.
As well as a research lab in Texas.
Like he said though, we are few decades away from massive power production from nuclei fussion.

Cutehector:
these Chinese chaps won't agree I believe research is currently on that as we chat

Em...did you read the link he sent to you.

It's a research been done all over the western world,- the leaders are actually the Germans and the United States and not China.

The recent leap of the tokamak was done in Germany.
The OP sent you a good link, the best you can do is read it. Peace!

Kikero112:
Well, while I think that all Nigeria's past leaders have questions to answer....

1.We did try to develop an industrial blueprint back in the 1970's.

2.The palaver is that when you are dependent on resources....and it is not just oil, we were resource dependent on agriculture too up to the 1980's.....it becomes easy to accumulate money and spend it importing, rather than manufacturing.And let's be honest.....becoming a manufacturing society is not easy. You have to go through a period of hardship while people do not buy what you make...but eventually the results are worth it.

3.Where our problems really began IMO....was the Second Republic. THose guys kept on chopping money....EVEN when oil prices crashed in 1982.Buhari took over and attempted to steady the ship by dealing with corruption while keeping industry afloat. But...that was not enough....and when IBB took over...things got worse...so we had to take the SAP medicine , and then devalue the Naira.Problem is that Nigerians do not cut their coats according tosize.....

I agree entirely. I Still lay the blame on our leadership what is good planning without the execution. Or political Will. Especially IBB, he was the worst of the lot.

Saudi government saved for its citizens and the princes also had foresight to carry out massive infrastructural buildup and human development of its citizens.

They are rolling back some of the social services that was once subsidised but also were it not for the massive funds they pour into defence due to the peculiar terrain they find themselves, this oil drop won't have affected them.massively.

But I agree with the sentiments you shared.

Sambissa forest straight.
They should shoot Shekau at sight.

On a serious note,-parental care and upbring matter alot.
This is obviously a by product of peer pressure and poor upbringing.
Don't send them to jail, they will only get more hardened.

We are about entering recession as country
Threads like this with showing off his plenty food items should be banned.

Kikero112:
Well, regardless of how the government pegs it, the fact remains that oil prices are dropping....and that pretty soon we would run a deficit. (That is one of the vagaries of being a resource dependent economy.).

Already Saudi Arabia...which saved lots of money, has spent $120bn of its external crude reserves in one year.

Nigeria at any rate....even if we saved during GEJ's regime....would still have problems.

Whatever way you look at it....resource dependent countries always end up running deficit budgets once the price of the resource they are selling goes down.Even when you have saved a bunch.

Quite true. It's why its imperative that when the cycle of boom is upon us - we as nation should have invested wisely and build up new areas of revenue. But ALL the leaders,ALL of them acted like drunken sailor- stealing and stealing money

Mrs Funmi Iyanda is such an Enigma.

You do know the meaning of the word enigma?
Don't you

A certain Italian cartoon character was once called Pinnochio

Reminds me of someone

2016 willl be tough.

Things will start looking up by next year 2017, if the budget is passed and the various projects are judiciously executed.

On a personal level- don't spend on girls like before
Before you go on a date ask her if she willing to split the bill

Save- cut down on buying for buying sake.

We might be entering a recession..government must give confidence to the citizens and the markets (formal market I mean)by giving out positive pronouncements not reminding us every time that things are tough. Nigerians are not idioots..we know things are tough.

In recession is also when some wise investor and investment pay off. The wise will understand. If you have saved cash and have assest: now is the time to put it to use.
Access soft loans from CBN if you have a good business proposal but its wiser to go as a group not individual. We still run business as one man idea. You cut down on risk more by spreading across: profit might also be less but still better than been jailed for defaulting on loans.

In recession, is time to look at acquiring other skills,-jobs like IT, energy provider(solar panels technician) medical and lecturing will always be in high demand.
Now is a perfect time to start a Church

Dont buy shares except for long term investment. Invest rather in treasury bill- the reward are not much but the risk is less.

No more COT on banks charges from January 1, which is good news.

If you transact in bulk- go to your banks and negotiate benefits. Squeeze them by the ball

Since CBN has proscribed COT. Banks are greedy, they will look for new ways to rip off customers.

Still needs lot of work to get it purified.
Not healthy in the present state for consumption

Nigerians being stupid bcuz of religion since 1890.

Lol.
Humour is wasted on you my friend.

Einstein didn't say that quote about bees. In as much as the great man was Renaissance man, research has shown the quote was falsely attributed to him.

He was a physicist not a BOTANIST.

On point is:
37. What other people think of you is none of your business.

I agree with this completely. Too many times we give other people attention and fear what they think, thereby living a cardboard life.

As long as you not killing anybody. Be free!
Date any girl you want, hold her hands publicly if you like, kiss her.
People will talk, they have always talked especially in Nigeria.

Tardy investigation.

Don't be surprised to see Dasuki, Akpobolemi and Dokpesi also walking free..

Proving a case in court goes beyond filing a laundry list of charges, throwing suspects in fast moving cars and using the media to demonize them.
Efcc and the Nigeria police needs to employ forensic investigators, competent attorney and also purge itself of taking bribes.
It won't be a bad idea to pay its staff as at when due.
A corporal who is paid pittance cannot be expected to be diligent.

Tardy investigation

OP, when was this verdict passed?

AdiscoPele:
The same minority(GEJ) that was given a chance, what was the outcome?

Please, i what we need for the main time now is the majorities.

They have balls and not some minority that will take us backwards.

I believe 'daddy' was talking more about a political party and not an individual.

In any case was abacha, obj and the rest not from majority tribe. Did they take us to the promised land. Did our country suddenly become Dubai?

ril19:
Is This A Prophecy Or A Prediction?

The latter.
Or more accurately, guess work from CNN analysis, newspaper and the internet.

Yes. Please don't overlook this man.
He has been mentioned in many cases as collecting bribes.
1. Adamawa state govt case
2. The prison woman case
3.cases of 419 boys.

And the unusual manner of taking off to Dubai tells me Lamorde hands are not clean.

He was a bit late this year.
I guess Jonathan loss despite all the predictions he will win has made everyone more careful this year

Oyakhilome, Coza and Okotie should hurry up with their own version, let's move on to better things.

In as much as some Nigerians will not like to hear it.
Saudi Arabia has been exporting its fanatical brand of Islam, this extreme variant of Saudi Wahhabism is what has grown to daesh, al Qaeda and boko haram.

Suadi clerics who promote this sick ideology basically brands anybody who is not a Muslim a sinner, one condemned to hell.
Evidence abound to show that the Saudi government and its top leadership have provided money, logistics and protection to these idiots called Isis.

The good aspect to come out of this global depression in oil prices is that Saudi citizens will gradually start turning on those hypocritical princes that rule Saudi Arabia.
In the main, the Shia's have been peaceful restricting their madness to supporting the Palestine and Hezbollah.
Same cannot be said for the house of Saud.
It's why its imperative to release el zaky or charge him to Court.

Nigeria must not allow itself to be used in a proxy war between two neighbours who dont care about us anyways.

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
The bone of contention here is not the TSA itself rather who controls the system.

The Legislature and Judiciary are clamouring for an independent agency free from any superior influence of the executive to control the system as to ensure and maintain a strong independence of the three organs of democratic governance.

I hope you understand the discourse

You cherry picked my earlier post and drew my attention to only one aspect(veto)when I addressed the control of tsa vis a vis the budget, separation of powers and rule of law.

Edit: cheers IsraeliAirforce

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
You are funny.

How can Buhari criple his government because other organs of government refusal to be his puppet?

Buhari owes GEJ much gratitude for his veto on the constitutional amendment that would've rendered him powerless

Did you read the part where I mentioned he should try and speak sense to them during his closed door meeting. He has lots of goodwill from majority of Nigerians and the national Assembly wouldnt want to be seen to go against public opinion.

Failing to do that, then a standoff. Which I hope it does not come to.

It was a positive Jonathan retained power of veto for the executive. I agree with you on that.

He shot wide in most of his predictions.

It was the opposite of many things he predicted.

Is the author Wendell slim?

Impressive. Dogara seems to be his own man.
That said its easier to be your own man when you don't have corruption case hanging over your head like Saraki.


On separation of powers, Buhari has demonstrated so far he respect the Constitution. Except in the issues of dasuki and kanu.
In his closed door meeting with the lawmakers, he has to appeal to their sense of patriotism or veto the budget if they insist on allocating stupid money for themselves.

We must continue to champion our Constitution above personality. We must not turn Buhari into a demigod.
That's what a few people did and Obasanjo started manipulating for third term.

The danger of the executive managing the funds of the National assembly or the judiciary is that a President may punish them as he desires like Obj tried withholding Lagos state budget when Tinubu was governor.
Never again.

I thought this made fp few days ago
And we were told this was London

APCLyingBastard:
People that know more than you are complaining

And how do you know they know more than me.
Do you know me by any chance?

Again. I ask you a simple question. Two questions now since you have decided to mention me again.

1. Do you agree with the OP that Osama is living in Bahamas? (Despite my proof the site is satirical and Snowden never said that) even al Qaeda released a statement saying the big sheik is dead

2. Do you agree the image shown by the other poster showing a photshopped image to be true.


I didn't bother to read your link from.daily beast in entirety because you already claimed and believe 'they' know more than me.
I'll go back later later at leisure to read it.

I have already told you I think Obama plan to defeat Isis is slow and may not be the best. But Obama has promised not to send troops to another land to occupy. In the absence of troops, drones are the next best thing and slowly the tide is turning against Isis.

Ramadi in Central Iraq, once the stronghold of Isis has fallen to the Iraqi government as a result of drones and the iraqi army themselves taking charge.

brixton:
Proof

The same site you lifted the Photoshop images of Osama and Condi Rice is where I took this picture.

So tell.me is Elvis the monalisa?

Is Paris Hilton now a nun?

[/i]Those are photshopped images and not proof of anything. [i]

APCLyingBastard:
Do you know how dangerous this is to the Obama white house and the little credibility it still has?


They will do anything to counter this as fake.

I predicted that Obama will not complete his term and will either resign or be impeached and jailed for his support of ISIS.

Do you know that the US govt under Obama has since downgraded the Taliban from a Foriegn Terrorist Organization, FTO to an "armed insurgency".

Are you aware that the US govt is yet to classify ISIS as an FTO and that virtually all the weapons and cash they have in their possession was airdropped by the US?

Or how can we explain why Turkey, a NATO member state, was openly buying stolen Syrian and Iraqi oil from ISIS?


Think and don't let them do it for you.

You mixing up different issues.
Obama has been weak in fighting Isis.
I concu completely. Even though his reasons are more complex than fox and other right wing media will have you believe. He inherited this mess from Bush phony war in Iraq. Obama does not want to send America troops to Iraq and Syria. Fair play to him. For thinking deeply about issues than just rushing to send boots on trh ground when the issues are more complex than that.

Issues of historic rivalries between sunni and shia, between house of saud and the expansionist desires of the ayatollahs in Iran. Issues of Palestine and Israel.

The OP create a false thread that Osama is living in Bahamas. Ed snowden never said that. The website is satirical.
That's my counter thread.
If you want us to debate other middle East issues. I can with you all day.
Simple.

BTW Obama will.complete his second term peacefully.

I'll just drop this here
