So how come Ghana's price went up?

I don't know why nigerians are so unbelievably intellectually lazy, why do you keep comparing yourself with a country that JUST STARTED PUMPING OIL LAST YEAR- WHAT ABOUT OUR 40 YEAR HEADSTART ON THEM? Does common sense not indicate to you that having just started pumping oil they should not have as much infrastructural capacity as one who has been doing it for 40 years+? Or did your own history books indicate to you that Nigeria started pumping 2 million barrels per day immediately we found oil in the 60s??!! What is wrong with us gan sef.

Original poster seems to contradict himself probably due to haste but lets slowly reason now- Rationally all OPEC should produce enough oil to meet local demand, thus the reason why they sell the excess. The only question that Nigerians should bother about is do we have enough oil to meet our own local demand? The answer has always been a generous yes. So until that changes there is no reason why A developing country like Nigeria should not be paying the same for a litre of petrol like our fellow OPEC brothers. There is no reason why logically anyone should be comparing us to the USAs and Chinas that don't have surplus capacity and cannot meet local demand, Unless one is a lazy brain dead corrupt nigerian official.

BTW anytime i see a woman unclad or scantilly dressed, no matter what the circumstances we met in ( peeping through curtains included), that familiar voice at the back of my head that has been around since age 11 says 'you can have her if you really wanted to'- and TBF it's usually correct.

Whether my wife had the body of Beyonce or Patience Jondull, as a man i'm a security guard first and everything else second.
And you ladies, how do we win with you? It is only when we show you love and affection the way you've seen it in popcorn movies that you are satisfied, but when we express it in the way we've been doing it for thousands of years we get certified paranoid, na wa o!

Some people are so lazy, are there men bearing Chidinma nowadays??

Everytime i take a peek at your balancesheet, i'm struck by how appealing  your assets seem and thus giving a fair representation is always mission impossible for me. I know you think i'm in this solely for the returns i'd get from stripping your asset base , and the possibilty of practising my much heralded skills of double entry on you and yes, i cannot deny the thought of debiting your recievebles account a required minimum of three times daily, over and over again, keeps my dreams permanently liquid and solvent, but YOU and ME means a merger of all things, tangible and intangible, substance over form. So i know atm it looks like i'm making all the abnormal profits, seeing as neither my final accounts nor my statement of cash flow is impressive yet i'm asking you to keep giving to me without providing you any security, making my liabilty to you even look more limited than it already is. But baby you are the one who holds a fixed charge over my heart, you're the one who launched a hostile takeover when i wasn't paying attention, you're my sole shareholder, my chairman, my M.D, my only going concern and if you'll have me i promise to stick to my fiduciary duty and willingly remain your debtor, forever.

Wow- a schoolteacher of mine use to say you could always tell truly educated people in a public discourse by paying attention to there silence, his point being that true education would allow one to know when NOT to contribute,  its only fools who think they should speak on every topic under the sun.

A lot of NLanders (some of whom i use to respect) have shown their backsides- and all because they wanted to let everyone know that they are 'educated', live abroad and thus are now experts on what we need to do to be like their white hosts. But heres where i thank my nigerian teacher, cause though i've spent a lot of my life in the two continents harbouring these 'educated' people, i'm still able to recognise that the minimum requisite for a meaningful contribution to this topic would be current and detailed knowledge of the area being discussed, and if one insists on using international knowledge or comparisons, then at least compare like with like e.g developing countries or even the BRIC ones. So again for my brothers in the whitemans land, pls stop showing your backsides, your knowledge of your current abode is not helpful on this particular topic- unless of course you have timemachines and can tell us how things were done there in the industrial revolution?

@ Francis-1. Don't take this the wrong way, but clearly i will only demean myself by debating you, as you lack any concise knowledge of the issues you choose to argue about. Just to be clear, the heart of the ife-modakeke is settlership and has always been, take it from an indigene lol.

[quote author=Francis-1 link=topic=807758.msg9603824#msg9603824 date=1321901344]May be you need to attend a Govt 101 class. If he can make the law you cited above, he would not have sent it to the National Assembly but would have passed it himself. You have as much right as the president to send a bill to the NA, whose role it is to pass or not pass it into law. DUH.[/quote]OH, and in that your government class they didn't tell you that the first responsibility of every president all over the world is the safety, security and well being of all his citizens. Did they tell you the senate president is the commander in chief and the chief security officer of the country. You and all your like will always be ignorant clowns.

[quote author=Francis-1 link=topic=807758.msg9603368#msg9603368 date=1321896724]Whose role is it to pass laws? The president or the parliament? [b]Yeah! Let's blame everything on GEJ, the shoeless president. SMH[/quote]Yes you must be right, he has no business with law making in this country- thats why when he won his reelection and Jos was burning and BH massacring innocent non-indigenes, his first course of action was to publically send a bill for term elongation straight to the house of assembly. Just keep on trying to warp reality.

And also for those who don't get it- Uncle Wole has a nobel because accomplished western writers admire his witty writting style and his body of work. While Achebe is far more read because young western literate kids and readers love his work and find something to identify with. Note that work is among the best selling not because of sales in Africa, let alone Nigeria, but because young white and coloured people in the west love it and spend money on it. As a lover of African literature, and a lover of Achebe especially (i'd take 'arrow of God' over most books to any deserted island), the impact of his works in nigeria are quite minimal to non-existent, and thus it seems he will probablly be remembered by mainly strangers- thus the Mandela comparison is absolute nonsense.

A funny thing about this thread is that the idiot and the bigots who started it have failed to demonstrate that they have ever read 2 works of Achebe let alone 2 of Uncle Wole ( who has numerous 5 min poems) for them to compare and contrast both juggernauts in a civilised intelligible manner. Maybe then they would have understood why one has a nobel and the other's seminal work is loved by so many.

Thanks a million SurveyCash and God bless you !

Hi uncle sam, could you please send of the codes to unlock my Huawei E173 IMEI:352096044419754. Thanks in advance.

Funnily I was just thinking the other day how much longer this "ideal" of relationships would last- now I've got my answer.

People need to grow up and learn to stop using celebrities as icons or examples on how to live your life- like a friend of mine once said, he never asks for fashion advice from someone whose dress sense he doesn't  respect- we have grandparents and elders, let's learn how to use them.

nice one

Great Thread!!!!!!!!

Most young ones here will wonder how the people who witnessed and saw such beauty could allow their fathers compound to be the laughing stock of all nations.

God will forgive, but the question is will anyone else?

Well we all wanted issue based civilised (whiteman) politics- it's seems internally and externally Lagos politics is the closest thing to it for now.

It seems you failed to include any contact.

@Africa Face
Great advice Mr. First - by the way it is blue collar, I have lived many years and I am yet to see blue kola!

@ original poster
Take heart from what the majority have said, you will just have to work much harder to achieve anything someone with a better degree classification would find easy to do.

Ultimately your fate will still be dictated by you and not a piece of paper.
