I don't know if they are better than OBJ, but I choose:
- Ngozi Okonjo-Iyeala.
- Governor Mu'azu of Bauchi State.
- Donald Duke of Cross-river State.
- Aliko Dangote! (he doesn't need to steal any money)

(no to Soludo, no to NAFDAC lady, no to Ribadu)

It' a free market. If you don't like the services of the current operators, go and start your own GSM company!

What was the Al Pacino speech about? Do you have a transcription?

According to chrisd, an emotionally mature woman is one who takes a lot of rubbish from her boyfriend without complaining. It is better for a woman to be single forever than to be with a man who expects her not to complain when he goes about kissing and sleeping with other girls, ignoring her feelings, putting his friends ahead of her, et cetera.

Welcome to Nairaland. How old are you now? WHat are some of your memories from your stay in Lagos?

I'm going to turn my own personal web site into a wiki. Watch out; it'll be hot!

UPDATE: My personal site now runs on a wiki engine. See www.seunosewa.com

Hello Victoria1. Welcome to Nairaland. I'm glad you love your fellow Africans. We love you too!

I'm trying to determine how and when to start this. Thanks for volunteering!

flower: No wonder my teeth got broken.
teju oso: what prevents them from touching?

Did you know that in the old times it was common for people to die from tooth decay?

What is pillau. A kind of grass? Never!

When was the last time you watched a cartoon?

Are cats more friendly than dogs?

Hehe. How can you possibly trust the words of a man who is cheating on his wife? He's not going to marry any second wife. He is not going to marry you. This you will discover after having sex with him for a while.

When last did you read your bible, Reverend?

I'm thinking, "congratulations, girl!"

zebudaya: You are very ignorant to think that all the people on this forum are Christians. For your information, there are many many muslims on this forum and by posting this message, kismat has succeeded in saying something important to them. THat is a step I greatly applaud.

Hehe. Free is interested in anyiam.

We need private power stations in Nigeria. Interested investors should contact the Lagos State Government after reading this article: www.guardiannewsngr.com/news/article01/030306

Hehe. Can you use a hoe and cutlass to grow all of your food?

There are a lot of IRC channels where you can get real-time help for various programming languages and open source software packages!

Also, it may be a good idea to avoid people who don't believe in the idea of love. They can be ruthless/heartless.

I second that!

Intentions matter. Innocent people are killed when a car veers off the road and hits a pole, but that is not murder. It's an accident. But in Onitsha, the mob's intention was to kill muslims/hausas and that is exactly what they did.

Same here, and I'll be 24 in a matter of months. Argh, I'm growing old!

How can you sit there and accuse others of doing what is not their duty when you yourself have not done anything? Is anybody here a police officer? - Seun_

If it is not the responsibility of Shehu of Borno, The Sultan of Sokoto, the Emir of Kano, The Imams , that zamfara idiot, and other so called leaders of Islam in Nigeria to educate their followers about the importance of non-violence. Whose duty is it?

As far as I know:
- kismat is not the Shehu of Borno.
- kismat is not the Sultan of Sokoto.
- kismat is not the Emir of Kano'
- kismat is not the Zamfara 'idiot'.

Now, even if kismat is an Imam, if all he can do is go to the mosque and make his followers understand that suicide bombing and similar inhuman vices are unislamic, then that would be an excellent contribution. It would rob those violent people of the justificatyion they claim. Many imams and muslims are not willing to do even this, so I we should encourage those that are.

In that case, the intention was not to kill them but to capture Bin Laden after defeating his allies. It's not the same at all.

I appreciate your efforts very much!

Congrats!

In other words, banking business is a kind of business in which competition is unhealthy. Point noted.

Let us carry that sort of reasoning to its logical conclusion. Why don't we just merge all the banks and form one ultra-stable bank? We'll call it Nigeria Bank and the CEO will be the CBN governor. Such a bank will be really stable, right?

Well according to the CBN Governor's vision, such a bank is still too small. You see, he envisions a future in which the world's banking needs will be served by just 10-20 megabanks. I do not approve of that sort of vision.

But you are also talking. That's my point. You have not done anymore than the people you are criticizing. It's an obvious point that doesn't need to be repeated, but I will repeat it anyway.

How can you sit there and accuse others of doing what is not their duty when you yourself have not done anything? Is anybody here a police officer? Is anyone here armed? Because as far as I am concerned, the armed forces are the only people who can stop this. The muslims who are bold enough to stand up and say "no, this is not allowed in Islam" should be encouraged. The police should also be encouraged to do their job of simple crimesolving.
