KA24DETT: Saga, the problem with Nigeria is that we have not conquered POVERTY, People have lost hope with government so they rush to these Motivational speakers parading as pastors, People making bad business decisions and losing money blame their failures on witchcraft, These guys fear pastors and worship their pastors more than GOD, People thinking GOD and offering is a lottery ticket, you invest 10% and get 1000% ROI, 31st is here and these fools will go and donate their life savings for a 2012 miracle, People getting a job consider it a miracle., successful baby delivery is considered a miracle, The government has failed us and things we take for granted here are considered miracles in Nigeria , So yeah, no matter how much u try to reason with them, they will consider u unchristian and threaten u with curses, They can quote the bible inside out thinking it makes them more holier, Even the educated ones don't know better, A motivational speaker just assaulted a kid and people are here defending the guy and quoting the bible to back up their point , he won't try it overseas, he would end up in prison, We got a long wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to go,
You are so fcking on point it is shocking.
Getting a job is a "miracle".
I no blame them. I blame the leaders that ruined the country.
E no go better for IBB and Abacha.
They have fcked up the people'a mentality so much that they think it is a "miracle" when something good happens. They are so used to bad things and when they do not get a "miracle" it is a "curse" and the fault of "winches".
But wait o. Oga, with all these things you said, that means say you no get BSc and MBA and PhD from What da Heck!
nanidee: Did u really say he's right or u're just taking the piss?
I said he is right.
Most women love bad boys and danger. They will usually go for that until they get hurt and damaged.
If you know how many times I have seen the finest girl always going for the arsewipe that makes it obvious he is an arsewipe, you will faint. All he just needs to do is to be classy and confident. He makes it obvious he sleeps around and they still want to woo him and be the one to tame him.
This is what happens when you puff puff and do not pass.
This is what happens to greedy and selfish cretins that just puff puff, puff puff and puff away.
Who do you think you are? Puff Daddy?
Lesson for all: Puff puff and pass. Let the ish go through you system, simmer, get processed and exit before your round comes back and then you can puff puff again.
Puff puff pass. It dangerous stuff men. This is cigaweed, nigga! It fcks up your mind.
ibkaye: I exaggerate I hope you know, as long as he's taller than me in moderate heels, above 6'0 is the preference however, just like you prefer your women curvy
You don't have to feel guilty for your preference, just don't deny it when you see a 5'10 hot guy you want and I say you can not have.
In difficult paternal economies, height might not matter that much. But in economies where women are financially independent, women tend to be more choosy and will prefer taller guys.
The only thing there is that height is never the priority or the sole determinant of attraction for most women. They have multi-faceted tastes.
If you are not tall but fit, confident, intelligent, understand mind games and with great sense of humour, you will pull far more than a guy with "just" height.
Image123: Meaningless, or at best comedy. Watch your bp, even possessed people get sick o. Go to your god Oyedepo and tell him you're a babalawo for Jesus, abi you're afraid of what your parents would do when he slaps in your tongue?
You are a cretin!
I am the God you and you moronic pastor should be worshiping.
You think you know God? You sure? You think he is the one solving your problems? You think he is getting involved?
[quote author=Okija_juju link=topic=830114.msg9822168#msg9822168 date=1324637852]Port-Harcourt is the worst place for foriegn artists to visit. Its the same port-harcourt that someone jumped on stage and snatched Usher Raymonds bling from his neck.
The last time Port-Harcourt recieve a foreign artist with love was when Wyclef visited. And ofcourse marijuana was allowed at that show.[/quote]A bullet in his leg would have been helpful.
Woke4all: They threw empty water bottles at him and he's not even happy? Lolz try this in maybe warri they'll throw stones or water bottles filled with urine
Anyways i don't blame the artist. Blame it on the organiser!
This is the kind of cretin my country is producing.
Toronto123: Sagamite, you are hilarious, abeg no kill me oooo. Abeg leave these Zombies alone ooo. Its the poverty in Nigeria causing this whole thing. I think it should be mandatory for everyone to live abroad for a while, then there will realize how much their pastors and leaders have cheated them.
Advanced countries have abandoned illiterate thinking like withcraft for more than 250 years. They are applying their brains to study, identify and resolve issues. These has led to discoveries and advancement.
In 2011, almost 2012, our cretins are still screaming witchcraft like if it was 1725. Our pure fooools! Our Moorons!
Then one of them has the AUDACITY, the moronic AUDACITY, to boast about BSc and MBA.
You have a BSc and MBA and you are thinking like a foool of 17 hundred and something? If our so-called educated are this daft what future do we have?
And the foool was cretinous enough to try and lie he got it from HEC!
What da HECK! A bloody product of a failed education system.
Image123: Common, even Sagamite knows that he is possessed, i'm not cursing him. It's obvious he's lost control of himself. An angry spirit is tormenting him. So you're prepared to go to hell for calling a spade a spade? You don't have an idea what you say. Tell me, you want to be like Jesus. What did Jesus say to do if anyone slaps you? Call a spade a spade? Do answer please. I see more christains here who look more to be like 'freedom' fighters, not Jesus, definite not Jesus the Christ.
taigee: Be careful on this forum, you will bring judgement on yourself with your utterances. I am not threatening Bomb blasts I am talking about the wrath of the Almighty that will transcend your generations unborn.
To really be frank, it is your congenital idiocy that is more likely to transcend a generation unborn.
As moronic as you are, it is best adviced not to reproduce so you don't leave poor kids with a handicap.
2Ki 2:22-24 So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake. And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.
Check out the story, the same Elijah that was used to heal, pronounced a curse on the children mocking him. The questions are; Was Elisha really bald? Probably he was. Was it wrong for him to curse the Kids? Maybe. but God honored his words. What I am saying is simple, wrong or right; Stop mockery of men of God on this forum or you Come under a destructive Curse. Sagamite is cursed already except he repents. Stop joking with things that can destroy u. Period. You people dabble too much into what you know nothing about.
You are a congenital cretin!
Shango is coming for you. Lets see who would be destroyed when the trailer with no brakes rams into your Okada.
May you men of Con's planes meet Shango in the air. Thunder strike that plane.
Image123: Cretin? Try another word, that one's fast becoming synonymous with your name. Oyedepo doesn't need to go to London, he'll not be minding his business that way. You, come from London to canaanland and tell him you're a winch for Christ. He'll slap you, knock you and then curse you. Then your parents would come to beg him. You're a big coward, i expected you'd be at canaanland already, the way you're taking this slap personal. Frustrated nigerian crying more than the bereaved. Go and give your life to Jesus, you obviously do not know what value it's of.
You are a Zombie cretin!
Go and tell your Mooron Ole-depo to come to London na and come and slap. FOOOL!
Lets see the coward.
Lets see whether his private jet can create space for coffin.
He can only do such in front of moronic, illiterate, idiotic zombies like you. Let him come and try it in a sane environment like London. I would kill him and my QC will ensure the case does not get to trial.
Then he would head to where he belongs: HELL. Where the devil would give it to him up the arse.
taigee: I never allow a challenge on my GOD to go on answered. You curse me in the name of your gods, i curse u back in the name of my God; Jehovah, the Lord of Host, the man of War. You shall be taught a bitter lesson in a few days This is not just mere words it has become a battle of GODS. You are another foolish Goliath about to loose his head. (1 Sam 17:42-46) What do u know about spiritual warfare? Better repent or you shall end like Herod. (Acts 12:21-23)As for u when did debates become forums where you pour out abuses and curses on your opponents. Is it the invocation of invective on your opponent that makes your argument superior or your points? Be careful on this forum, you will bring judgement on yourself with your utterances. I am not threatening Bomb blasts I am talking about the wrath of the Almighty that will transcend your generations unborn. LEAVE OYEDEPO, ADEBOYE, OYAKHILOME, TB JOSHUA etc alone! Don't go near their churches if you don't believe in them. Leave God to judge them. You are playing with fire! People have been burnt before, don't become a cheap victim. GO AND ASK Korah, Nathan & Abiram (Num 16:1-33) I Know u may not read it but pls read it. BE WARNED
You are a deranged mooron!
A congenital cretin!
Arsewipe that is abusing children due to his moronic superstitions. That shyt is so annoying that if I knew your name and where you are, I would send someone to finish your illiterate arse off. N15K will do the trick.
[quote author=tpia@ link=topic=828736.msg9819549#msg9819549 date=1324586582]dont some people wasting their time on this thread and in religion section, need to be off ogling n.aked women elsewhere? [/quote]Try and think of the art of multi-tasking.
Image123: So this is where they're at? See convulsions, see abuses in the name of Christ and godlessness. See insults and bile, and see grammars. Talk is cheap, go to canaanland if you get mind. Go there, mr and mrs Rich, and tell Oyedepo you're winch for Jesus. He'll slap in your ears and you'll do zilch. Your parents and relatives will still come and ask/beg for their own slap. Frustrated nigerians.
You are a fcking cretin!
So you admit your Man of Con is creating a cult of moronic Zombies?
Let Ole-depo come to London and come and slap and see whether he would leave with the same amount of blood in his body.
taigee: @Sagamite I think u are too rude on this forum. Its a function of how lowly u esteem urself, and it's a revelation of how frustrated and demented you are. You shall soon get what u deserve, God will teach u a lesson in a few days how to control you mouth, or is it your fingers on the keyboard. Don't say i didn't warn u. U had it coming! THE FOOL SAYS IN HEART THERE IS NO GOD! FOOL!!!
You are a cretin!
You really think my BSc and MBA is the type that believe in curses, winches and superstition?
Am I suppose to be scared with your "warnings"?
May Yemoja suck your life away from you through your balls, you bastard!
Toronto123: I have been on this man facebook venting man. You see why domestic violence continues to grow in Nigeria. Most of his follower particularly the men see nothing wrong in what he did. The witches are always the poor uneducated ones in this country. Listen, If you don't have Nepa for almost 1 month, ASSU on strike for another 2 months, no job after school, no fuel in the station, no Malaria drug in the hospital, and armed robber attack you on your way to the banks, trust me you will become a witch too. You will begin to see things.
GBAM!
I was thinking about this a few days ago.
All these moorons that believe in winch, I can bet you if it was their child that was labelled by a "Pastor" as a winch, they will say BS. They will start utilising their BSc and MBA to think and reject such diagnosis. But they are happy for another person's child (usually the under-priviledged) to be labelled winches. It is the "dirty, lower" ones they look down at that they think can be winches.
Katsumoto: Running yield is the yield (interest) on a bond in the secondary market. Running yield is also the same as coupon rate on the date of issue of the bond.
Redemption yield is the IRR for an investor from the date of purchase until the bond is redeemed or matures. I thought I should answer that as well.
Thanks, men.
PhysicsQED: I guess I did misunderstand you then.
But even the part in bold, I'm not sure that I would agree with.
Maybe Lagarde is surprised at encountering an African whose apparent intelligence equals or exceeds her own and imagining that he's the most intelligent person in that country is her way of coping with or countering the possibility/realization that the people in that country might generally be more intelligent than she (or other Europeans) would think.
If you put him next to alot of public figures like Jonathan, Sinators, representatives etc he shines like a million star.
The only people in his class that I know are Fashola, Okonjo and maybe the Niger State governor but I don't see them having the guile and maverick of Sanusi. Sanusi is ready and willing to upset whoever to make Nigeria progress and he says what he needs to say to show these.
PhysicsQED: I agree actually. But there is really nothing about Sanusi's articles, or his familiarity with Marx, Foucault, or whoever else he chooses to cite in his various articles that is really proof of having higher intelligence than the eggheads at those universities. After all, those professors may have read just as widely, if not more so, but choose to focus on one area that they can possibly make an impact on deliberately.
And those professors have their own articles (and books) too, and when you look up some of them, you see concrete studies and analyses of issues that are relevant to economics and directly relevant to Nigeria's economic development. Not fragments of their political and social philosophy laced with seemingly impressive references to philosophers whose fundamental ideas are inherently questionable (like Sartre, Marx, etc.). Sanusi has too much of the latter and not much of the former. Those who are easily impressed by the "banker as a philosopher" novelty of Sanusi are according him a level of higher intelligence and competence which he almost certainly does not have.
Maybe there is a misunderstanding here.
My perception of Sanusi's intelligence is not limited to his economics. I am just talking about general intelligence and that is my assumption of what Lagarde is saying.
Obviously there are tons of economic professors in Nigeria that will know more about economics than him.
I am looking at him as a holistic person in terms of ideas, utterances, actions and problem solving skills.
Katsumoto: The ECB does not issue bonds; it trades in the secondary markets by buying and selling sovereign bonds but even that is very rare. It had to buy Italian and Spanish bonds this year to stop the cost of borrowing for those countries from rising.
There are talks of the ECB issuing Eurobonds for the 17 Euro countries but this was shot down by Germany because it would mean stronger nations paying for the profligacy of wasteful nations such as the southern European countries. Some Americans also suggested recently that the ECB issue Trichet Bonds similar to the Brady bonds for Latin American countries in the 80s.
The interest rate you are referring to is the rate of financing which sets inter-bank financing rates, mortgage rates, etc Lastly issuing of bonds falls within Fiscal policy; that is why it is government's that issue bonds and not Central Banks.
The coupon rate (yield) that you receive on a bond stays the same until you either sell or redeem. It doesn't change for you but it changes for those that want to buy that particular bond.
Permit me to use an example I used on another thread
The general rule on yields is as follows: Bond priced at: Then: A discount = Coupon Rate < Running Yield < Redemption yield A premium = Coupon Rate > Running Yield > Redemption yield Par Value = Coupon Rate = Running Yield = Redemption yield
See example of a bond (Ghana) that was issued at $100 A discount ($85) = Coupon rate (8.5%) < Running Yield 10% A premium ($134.92) = Coupon rate (8.5% > Running Yield 6.3%
The investor that bought this bond would have paid $100 to receive a yield of 8.5%. Suppose that 2 years later, Oil was discovered in Ghana, the risk of Ghana defaulting would have reduced leading the yield to fall to 6.3%. The $100 bond would start trading at $134.94 to new investors but the coupon rate for the original investor would remain 8.5% so a new investor would pay a premium to receive higher interest (8.5) on a bond with a lower yield (6.3).
Now suppose that five years later from the initial offering, there is news that the president of Ghana is stealing all the proceeds of oil. The market would immediately re-access the risk and would demand higher interest rate on that bond or new issue. A new investor would expect a discount to receive a coupon rate (8.5) on a bond that is trading at higher yield (10) but for the original investor, he would continue to receive the coupon rate of 8.5% even though the bonds are trading at 10% yield in the secondary market.
Because the IMF/World Banks record in Africa is an ode to failure, I can afford to be crass perhaps not as crass as the purile person who said Sanusi is the most intelligent man in Nigeria.
I know you are an excellent researcher, so I am hopeful that you will be able to come up with the Tangible achievements of IMF in Africa - Good luck in your quest
Best regards Sapeleguy
Even if you think IMF have made an "error" before, I would expect you to have done an evaluation of intent and evolution of philosophy.
Is your assessment of "their error" that of wilful intent or local-application ignorance?
Even if your assessment of "their error" in certain past years was the former above, why do you think it will be the same in the future? It is the same people in the IMF in 1980 that are there now and will be there in 2020 and 2050?
Your statements are similar to those I look down on when someone tells me "USA is evil and against the black man because of what happened in the 70s. So that is what they are doing now and I don't trust them. They will never change". I look at the person and wonder how some can say what Nixon did in the 70s is a determinant of what Obama will do today. The person might well tell me that what Lincoln did in 1865 is what Obama would do in 2012.
This whole whiteman is out to destroy us should be above you. You should leave such to cap28 and his psychotic disorder.
SapeleGuy: Do you know how many coups and wars they have started? Do you know how many people have died through corruption aided and abetted by the IMF? The IMF is an institution that has never and will never mean well for Africa. Those of you who know your history will remember that the IMF indebted generations by giving loans to unelected, unaccountable and puppet dictatorships.
This are very crass statements.
If you want an explanation why, feel free to request.
ochallo: i expected a good result, i marked this year and most of those i marked scored very high, i would say about 65% were going to pass, WAEC is easy to pass , as the marking scheme is becoming more lenient, it is NECO that has a problem, with incorrect questions and all that.
Can you please inform of what region you marked at and marked for (if it is revealed to you)? Because marking for Lagos and Abuja kids is different for marking for Borno or Zamfara kids.
Secondly, are you saying WAEC has always been easy to pass or has become easy to pass?
PERSONALLY, I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS THE AUTHENTIC STATE OF THINGS; FIRST I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY SUBSTANTIAL INPUT IN THE EDUCATIONAL SECTOR TO GIVE SUCH AN INCREASE; SECOND, EVEN IF YOU INVEST SO MUCH IN THE SECTOR, THE RESULTS WON'T CHANGE IMMEDIATELY, SOMEONE WHO HAS HAD A FAULTY JSS1 TO SS2 CANNOT NOW IN SS3 START TO EXCEL ANYHOW.
WHILE IT IS GOOD AND WELCOME FOR STUDENTS TO PASS, I BELIEVE REDUCING THE STANDARD FOR PASSING/ FALSIFICATION OF RESULTS/ WHATEVER THEY DID TO COOK UP THIS STRANGE FIGURES IS NOT THE BEST FOR OUR EDUCATION!!!
kaxqua: Young Men/Ladies, you all have your mouth to talk and brain 2 think, obviously from the way you guys are ranting you believe you are most knowledgeable people in the world quoting bible and doing comparison. I am not a Member of Winners Chapel, but there's something I have come to learn in my christian journey, stay clear of attacking anyone called 'Man of God' FAKE or REAL. You can't in your wildest thinking and imagination know if he is or not, what would you say is your yard stick, WEALTH, UNIVERSITY OR SLAPPING A GIRL . If he is REAL, I promise U, you will regret your statements in no distant future.
One thing you should be bothered about is the ability to be able to discern and know how to go about your own christian race for the ultimate goal which is 'HEAVEN' except you people don't believe in HEAVEN as well, then i would know I have no biz posting a thread with you guys.
ASK FOR THE GRACE TO DICERN, BUT DON'T JUDGE. NA GOD SABI WHO DEY SERVE AM.
This is not fear, its called Wisdom
You are a cretin!
Regret what?
Bloody foool. Moorons that live under superstition and fear.
Fcking ediot!
Maybe that is wisdom from the BSc and MBA from What da heck quack schools!
ogaju007: 1ST TRACK REALLY BORING BUT 2ND TRACK REALLY LOVELY. A bit of advice, the songwriter will not always be the best person to deliver the song. i honestly think he should sell the tracks and concentrate on song writting.
