Lawyers->liars. So what? Who hasn't lied before, please identify yourself. God knows why in his infinite mercies and goodness he created lies. Afterall God sent an angel to tell a lie to all the other prophets so they could lead the king of Isreal and Judah to battle. Afterall who amongst us here has had a police case in Naija and didn't need to lie? Na Naija police station you go learn wisdom no worry.

On what premises are ur arguments based. Gadaffi has by far done better than all of Nigeria's presidents combined

[list]
[li]Libya's Total Foreign Reserves $320Billion[/li]
Libya has reserves in the US, France, Germany, Switzerland, Britain, Russia to name but a few.
[li]Libya has the highest literacy rate in Africa[/li]
[li]Free education to any school in the world[/li]
[li]The best health care facilities in Africa[/li]
[li]He started the indigenization policy before other oil exporting countries caught the bandwagon[/li]
[/list]

I can go on and on but no time.

Reasons for this war are not far fetched.
[list]
[li]Energy.The western nations need energy and right now Libya and Syria are options on the table that must be dealt with immediately[/li]
[li]He is pariah that is answerable to no one not even his people[/li]
[li]His early link to terrorism[/li]
[li]Who would want even $1b to leave his or her economy at this stage of financial crisis? The problem his son had in Switzerland whereby he withdrew a lot of funds before being begged not to do so.[/li]
[li]His support through military training and funding of Nelson Mandela during SAs Apartheid struggles, Charles Taylor during the Liberian war, the Arabs in Sudan, Djibouti, Somalia and Eritea. I mean this guy was the symbol of the fight against colonial rule on the African continent[/li]
[li]It's a shame that he has become so power drunk but the truth must be said because of this man oil exporting countries could renegotiate the terms of oil production especially Nigeria[/li]
[/list]

Whether we choose to accept it or not history will judge this man both ways but I dare say he became a political beast to his own people. His initial threat of force was his main mistake otherwise things shouldn't have turned out this way.

With all the genuine and 419 business ideas Nigeria spams on the net daily y wouldn't they be the top ranked? Nigerians are solutions providers and if you don't like the ranking kindly and in slow motion hug a transformer close to you.

Once the power situation is taken care of then u'll see the true nature of the Nigerian entrepreneurship spirit.

logica:
They really should've asked the Nigerians they surveyed to write a 1000 word description of the business ideas. Dem for laugh tire. I'm sure not up to 1% have workable business ideas. And those with workable ideas usually do not have unique/original ideas; they are probably thinking of the same simplistic ideas such as phone card business or selling kokoro. Most are just building castles in the air.

My friend mechionu there. If Nigerians aren't that good how come Nigerians without proper education manage to get foreigners to part with their money if the business idea wasn't workable? Like it or not Nigerians are good business people with competitive spirit. It's just a pity that they don't go into into production instead plough their gains and loot(whichever) back into consumption

All rumours. They're still 2geda.

Foshola's definitely doing a good job

My guy don't mind some people here O because diamond is not that lustrous in d wild. It must be refined for it to be a diamond.
My advice is modern and straight to the point. You must show that you're are tactically and spiritually a man. What do I mean by this? Please don't hit her or something like that because you'll only regret it. I can only recommend the following to you.

[list]
[li]Some ladies like arguments like this to get their juices up. So after a very heated argument make sure it ends in some marathon mumbo jumbo. If you try this and it doesn't work then[/li]
[li]Get in touch with a friend who can squat you for 2weeks to a month and make sure ur friend has a girlfriend she doesn't know.[/li]
[li]Call up her family members and tell them you have moved out and ure assessing ur options, never tell them you want a divorce. They'll know how to handle her. Make a police report in your favour before you end up on the losing end, since you reside in the UK. If it was Naija that would't be necessary.[/li]
[li]Don't pick her calls, don't make any effort to contact her directly. Only know about her welfare through close confidants that check up on regularly.[/li]
[li]If she turns physical again on perceiving ur friends girlfriend around , this time do not attempt to opt out of the argument, get a rope you must have bought and knotted on one end prior to moving into ur friends place temporarily. Tie her hands and legs up, place a taper over her mouth. When you're through explain to her who the lady is and also you intend to separate from her. Once you're done get the taper of her mouth and untie her and ask her to leave[/li]
[li]Make sure she doesn't know where ure putting up. If she starts displaying real remorse then let a close friend of hers get the info on where you're and then let her slowly come and win you back. When she starts coming let ur friends girlfriend flash around the vicinity thereby she'll start suspecting something is amiss with you guys. If she suspects and she is still trying to win you over, then sit her down and get a verbal assurance between the both of you with no one in the vicinity that she'll never hit you or even insult you no matter the circumstance otherwise you've made up your mind on what you intend to do if it happens again but never tell her your intentions.[/li]
[li]Move out with some clothing's u'll need. Don't tell her you need a divorce just ignore her and make sure you don't call her. Only get in touch with a married female church member to check up on her. Let her do the inter-mediation, preferably d wife of your pastor. She needs to be really sorry for you to comeback and it has to be seen that you're prepared to walkout on the marriage but never say so.[/li]
[li]Make sure your friend is aware of your plans so that there is no backlash. Did I say this ur friends babe has to be really hot? Just in case I didn't say it.

I'm a lifelong madrid supporter but I have to be honest with the assesment of both legs. Madrid honestly outplayed barcelona but Messi is just too good. He is undoubtedly the best player on the planet. He performs in big games unlike our Christiano Ronaldo who always fails to live up to big games. I do have some points on Madrid's performance


Minus
-Mourhino failed tactically to pocket Messi
-Khedira isn't performing his role effectively because Pepe would definetely slow down Messi and not allow him the space he was given
-Marcelo is just an idiot, He was lucky not to get a red in the first leg
-Although Benzema didn't perform the way I expected I must say that Mourhino shouldn't have taken him out instead Khedira should have been taken out and replaced with Callejon, with Coentrao and Marcelo alternating between 3 and 4 positions.
-Clearly shows that Carvalho is actually reducing in performance we might need a new defender.
-I wonder how a Madrid team with Nuri Sahin as ochestrator would perform against the likes of Xavi and Iniesta in midfield
-Kaka failed to bring in urgency into the attack and midfield. In my opinion he eigther needs more playing time or he's a spent force in football.

Plus
-Apart from a few mistakes highlighted above Mourhino did well. He reduced Barca's dominance in midfield
-The chances on goal should have been clearly taken advantage of with Benzema being the biggest culprit but Mourhino's team is the only team to have so many chances at goal against a Barca full team.
- A highly entertaining game with lots of positives to say there is a bright future for this team.
-This performance would be a future big profit generator for the future because non of the premier league teams would give you this kind of exciting football performance.

Former military president, General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (IBB), yesterday took on the administration of his former boss, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, saying the latter’s government between 1999 and 2007, lacked foresight and imagination.

Babangida, who came to power through a military putsch August 1985 and held on to power till August 1993, when the struggle to revalidate the annulled June 12, 1993 presidential election forced him to step aside.

But while fielding questions from journalists in Minna, Niger State, yesterday to mark his 70th birthday, the former military president, slammed the eight years civil rule of Obasanjo for wasting the economic affluence experienced in the country then.

He made a comparative analysis of his administration and that of Obasanjo, saying that the eight-year rule of his former boss was lacking in foresight and imagination.
According to him, while he was in government at a time when a barrel of crude oil was $10, the price rose to $100 during Obasanjo tenure.

“If I had been lucky like those in the recent past, I would have done more than we did. In my eight years in office I was able to manage poverty and achieve success while somebody for eight years managed affluence and achieved failure”, he said.
Babangida said if he had laid his hands on $16 billion that was squandered on the independent power project, he would have provided Nigeria with not only electricity but nuclear plant.

The former leader gave kudos to his administration, saying those who helped him shaped the administration were brand names in their different fields of endeavour. He named the likes of the late Prof Olikoye Ransome-Kuti, Chief Duro Onabule, the late Prof Gordian Ezekwe and Prof Ojetunji Aboyade.

Babangida, however, said at 70, he had already bade politics goodbye, pointing out that he would be satisfied remaining an elder statesman. “Politics? Forget it. I will sit in Minna here and people will come and seek my advice.”
Looking back at life, Babangida said in his 70 years the saddest moment of his life was when his wife, Maryam, died while his most joyful moment was when he became President of Nigeria.
Meanwhile, Minister of Information in the Babangida regime, Chief Alex Akinyele, has said that history ‘will ultimately be kind to the ex-leader’ (IBB)

In a chat with Daily Sun, yesterday, Akinyele, who is an Ondo High Chief, said: “Even from now, his position in history is becoming clearer. In the past, IBB was only mentioned when you talked of the annulment of the June 12, 1993 election. But today, his role as a statesman is becoming clearer. There is now a clearer perception of his eight years rule, and the impact he made in the various spheres of national life.”

The former minister listed Babangida’s achievements in office to include internal cohesion among the different ethnic nationalities, massive infrastructural development, leadership role for the country in the African continent, derivation formula for the oil producing communities, and many others.

“At 70, Babangida is a true patriot and statesman, and he deserves all the goodwill and praises we can heap on him,” Akinyele declared.
“When history will record his days in and out of office, he will be numbered among the true patriots this country has produced. He fought in the civil war to keep Nigeria united, he led us for eight years, and even in retirement now, he makes crucial interventions in the realm of ideas, which shows him as an illustrious Nigerian. His footprints are already indelibly printed on the sands of time.”
Wishing Babangida longer life and good health, Akinyele urged current leaders to tap from the deep fountain of his experience and wisdom.

“With people like him, you have to put political differences aside. This is a man who ruled for eight years, and he has invaluable experience. At a challenging time, as we are going through in the country now, let our current leaders draw from his wealth of experience. He has gone through it all and he can offer vital counsel. Security challenges, knotty political issues, the economy, ethnic insularity, he has been through them all. His advice will be worth its weight in gold”, Akinyele added.

Akinyele recalled that he was the first-ever minister from Ondo and it was Babangida who made it possible.
“That is why I remain ever loyal to him. He is a man with a large heart, a generous spirit. May God spare him for much longer time, and may he see the greater development of Nigeria.”

A Port Harcourt Pastor, Apostle Eugene Ogu, who is on bail for allegedly duping a Czech based company, Globiz International of over US$15.000.000, has obviously colluded with EFCC officials and Rivers State Police to arrest and detain for eight and 21 days respectively the complainant in a fraud case against him.

The victim, Larry Obasi, a Nigerian born businessman resident in the Czech Republic, who is pursuing justice against the controversial pastor had gone to the EFCC FCDA office on 17 May 2011 under the ruse that it was in furtherance of the petition he wrote against the pastor, who is the founder and leader of Abundant Life Ministries Port Harcourt. But unknown to him an EFCC believed by many to have rotted under Chairman, Farida Waziri had perfected plans to arrest, detain and fly him to Lagos and Port-Harcourt, obeying the behest of a high bidder.

From investigations carried out, sometime in 2007, Obasi filed a petition with the EFCC against Apostle Ogu for defrauding their company, Globiz International of about US$15.000.000 as a result of failing to pay for goods shipped to him. It was further alleged that the said pastor also attempted to defraud Obasi and his European partners of millions of dollars under the false pretence that he had oil he wanted to sell to them, but when Globiz investigated the authenticity of the offer, it turned out to be sham.

Pastor Ogu wrote in 2006 to Globiz a letter of offer to sell to them crude oil which turned out to be false. But before then Globiz Partners have lost over 50,000 USD due to the misrepresentations of the pastor. Copies of agreements and correspondences between the parties were made available to the EFCC, and some of the letters were written via the Church’s email account and signed by Ogu himself.

It is also on the petition that Ogu failed to remit contract money it collected on behalf of Globiz International to the Czech company. It was money Ogu was authorized, as agent, to collect on behalf of the company for contracts executed by Formtrade –Skodaexport Czech Republic for The National Board For Technical Education (NBTE) across Nigeria. The Dossier Globiz submitted to EFCC should have overwhelmingly indicted the Pastor.

But instead of prosecuting Ogu, EFCC Port Harcourt scandalously said that he had no case to answer. But with immense pressure mounted by the Czech Embassy, whose officials and Globiz directors at one point met with EFCC Chairman, Farida Waziri, the file was called to Abuja and reinvestigated. The result was that Abuja said that Ogu has a case to answer and the file was sent back to EFCC Port Harcourt for further action but they put the case again back in the cooler.
Several calls by lawyer to Globiz as to the status of the matter got the answer that the matter was in their legal department. However, when The Sun and other newspapers and magazines carried the story early this year, EFCC felt the heat and reopened the case. New IPO, Mr Salihu Khan of EFCC FCDA office was asked to take over the case. Thrice Larry Obasi and Pastor Ogu were invited to EFCC Abuja, as according to the EFCC, they wanted to “harmonize the case against Ogu.” Thrice Ogu, who is on bail, failed to honour the invitation and thrice EFCC did nothing.
It is noteworthy that when Globiz filed the petition against Ogu in 2007, instead of dealing judiciously with such a case with international dimension, Ogu was merely invited to EFCC and within minutes he was given bail on self recognizance and his international passport was never taken away from him. It is on record that he has since travelled abroad on several occasions. According to Obasi, Ogu had once boasted of his connection to Ex-Governor Peter Odili, Rotimi Amechi and other powerful men and had openly told Obasi that he was wasting his time. If Obasi thought he was bragging, his recent experience with the EFCC must be making him to think twice now.

“It is obvious that Mr Ogu is sponsoring and using state agencies to intimidate me with a view to breaking my resolve to see that he is brought to book for his fraudulent actions. If not, how else can the EFCC fly in two operatives from Lagos to come and pick me up from their FCDA office, lodge them in hotel for two days and paid the flight of three people back to Lagos on a mere frivolity that a person, obviously sponsored by Ogu wrote petition against me for something they claimed happened in 2002? If it were public fund they used, then someone should be prosecuted for wasting tax payers’ money. And again they flew me and another operative from Lagos to Port Harcourt on a bogus petition by Ogu, in obvious attempt to distract the EFCC, backed by a forged invoice, which the EFCC did not even investigate to know if it is authentic. The last time I figured, the EFCC must have spent well over three hundred thousand Naira flying me around the country in a schemed attempt to intimidate and frustrate me. Either Ogu is funding it or there is a colossal waste of public money,” a very angry Obasi said.

He painfully recalls how the EFCC at FCDA dishonestly invited him to their office on the pretext that the invitation was in connection of his case against Ogu. But according to him, when he got there, he met in Salihu’s office two operatives he was told were from Lagos, and was asked to cooperate with them. The funny thing is that when we contacted Salihu who asked Obasi to cooperate with the officers from Lagos, he feigned ignorance of the allegation against Obasi that warranted his arrest at his office and being flown to Lagos.




In any case, from Salihu’s office the two operatives took Obasi to their Idiagbon House office in Wuse, Abuja and detained him there for two days before flying him to Lagos on Thursday to meet his accuser, one Mrs. Alinnor, who Obasi believes was paid by Pastor Ogu to accuse him falsely using a forged invoice for a transaction of shipment of tomato ketchup that took place in 2002. According to Obasi, she is a woman with a very bad credit record with their company and that he had on three occasions gave sureties in her favour but defaulted in every case until Obasi refused to support her on the fourth deal and she became disgruntled.


After spending two days in EFCC custody in Lagos, where he was given “impossible bail conditions” and at the same time denying him access to his lawyer and family members and while efforts were being made to meet the bail conditions for his release, the EFCC again on Friday, 20th March, 2011 handed him over to yet another operative named Babale Gwalo to take him to Port Harcourt to answer to another “frivolous” petition by Apostle Eugene Ogu whose “fraud” against Obasi’s Globiz was the subject of Obasi’s visit to Salihu’s office when he was arrested. Obasi was flown to Port Harcourt, where he did another six days in EFCC’s detention. It is noteworthy here that Obasi helped the Gwalo to complete the air fare after he signaled that he did not have enough money.

In any case, Lawyer to Globiz International, Maxwell Ozoaka said that the confinement of Obasi on a frivolous allegation by someone the EFCC knows has a case with Obasi without any investigation or enough evidence backing such allegation is unlawful. “Does it then mean that once a petition is written against anybody in this country the EFCC arrests and detains the person without much ado?”

Obasi, who has lived in Europe for over 22 years, is miffed about the bizarre dimension his case against Ogu has taken. “Such can only happen in Nigeria that a complainant will get punished and the offender not. They held me for eight days due to a rubbish petition written by Ogu and his proxy, which they should know is to distract attention from his crime. EFCC gave harsh bail conditions for my release, including holding my international passport. But Ogu who defrauded a foreign firm of US$15.000.000 and tainted the image of Nigeria was not held for one day and thrice he has breached the conditions of his bail and the EFCC did nothing.”

When Ogu felt that Obasi is unscathed by experience with the EFCC, he wrote another petition to Port Criminal Investigating Department, accusing Obasi of criminal defamation for the publications in The Sun and City People. And the police outrageously, without a substantial proof of case to answer (as by the law under which Obasi was held, only The Sun and City people are answerable), and after an investigation that lasted less than two hours, and without even contacting the Sun or City People to see if there was in fact a nexus between Obasi and the said defamatory publications, laid ambush for Obasi on a date he was to visit EFCC office Port Harcourt to collect his passport. Mr Obasi, sensing danger to his life since it was obvious that it was at the instigation of Ogu, made good his escape on two occasions they laid such ambush, armed to the teeth, for a mere misdemeanour that would not attract over six months in prison if eventually proven.

However, on the advice of Obasi’s lawyer Onyeke Edoka, he went on 10 June to the Moscow Road headquarters of the Rivers State CID “to clear his name once and for all.” It was a Friday and he was detained. On Monday 13 June, the Police pretended they were charging Obasi to court by taking him to a particular Magistrate they knew was not sitting. When it was clear that he will not sit, instead of taking him to other available magistrates in accordance with constitutional provisions, he was taken to Port Harcourt Prison and brought him back the next day to the same Court 1 of Magistrate Woke, who was also not sitting. Interestingly, the Magistrate, contrary to the constitution that stipulates that offenders should be tried in public, took his plea in his office and remanded him in prison with onerous bail conditions for a mere misdemeanor, which actually is a denial of bail. He needed three sureties: a landlord from Rivers State whose property must have Certificate of Occupancy, a level 10 and above civil servant and a businessman resident in Port Harcourt, who are to forfeit the sum of one million Naira each should the accused jump bail.
Obasi went to the Federal High Court 1 Port Harcourt to enforce his fundamental human rights for “unlawful arrest, detention, flawed arraignment and also sought a review of the impossible bail conditions at the lower court. As at press time, his bail conditions have been reviewed by Magistrate Woke to reflect the offence he is being charged with after that leg of the reliefs he sought at the Federal High Court was referred back to the Magistrate for review. But before then, Mr Obasi has spent 21 days in prison. However, one of the reliefs Obasi is seeking at the Federal High Court is 20 million Naira against the Commissioner of Police and Apostle Eugene Ogu as damages for unlawful detention.

The case between Pastor Ogu’s EL DUMZ and Globiz was first reported to EFCC in December 2007 at their Lagos office. It dragged till October, 2008 when the EFCC said it was ready to give their legal opinion on the matter. But Pastor Ogu brought a fresh petition to the effect the Larry attempted to kill him some time in July 2008, which according to Obasi was a calculated attempt by Ogu to crowd the issue. And when he felt that the EFCC may have compromised its position on the matter, he, with the assistance of the Czech Embassy, sent a petition to the EFCC Chairman and met her on the matter together with some Czech Embassy officials.

Consequent thereof, the EFCC chairman ordered the transfer of the case file from Lagos to her monitoring office in Abuja. The Abuja team, led by Mr. Baba Kora and Mr. Achadu did their work diligently, completed their investigation in time and submitted their report to the Headquarters. This, we later gathered, was sent to the EFCC and that was in July 2009.

We should get the campaign against corruption underway. Enough is enough

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/08/imo-to-prosecute-parents-who-withdraw-children-from-school/

OWERRI-Imo State Government, yesterday, vowed to prosecute any parent or guardian who prevents any child of school age from going to school.

Governor Rochas Okorocha read the riot act when he laid the foundation stone of the College of Advanced Technological Studies in Owerri.

He said: “This government will support the free education programme. It is now a punishable offence for anybody to deny education to any child of school age in the state.”

While lamenting that science education had gone down in the country, the governor wondered why most children are running away from science subjects.

Okorocha said: “One of the major decisions this administration has taken about this school is that instead of their paying school fees, government will be paying the students a monthly stipend.”.

The governor, who promised to establish similar schools in Orlu and Okigwe senatorial zones, announced automatic scholarship for a student of Government Technical College, Owerri, Master Marvis Onyeazolam, who produced a prototype helicopter.

Earlier, Commissioner for Education, Professor (Mrs.) Victoria Obasi, said the greatest gift a child can receive is education, which government has placed at the door steps of every child in the state.

She said: “There is need to recruit qualified teachers to staff the school. The category of teachers is scarce in the system. There is also the need to make the conditions of service for prospective teachers attractive.”

Reminds me of Gandhi

Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has told parliament that the hunger strike by the anti-corruption activist, Anna Hazare, is "totally misconceived".

He said the 74 year old was trying to circumvent democracy by demanding an overhaul of an anti-corruption bill.

Mr Hazare spent the night inside Tihar jail in Delhi after rejecting an offer by the authorities to release him.

He has said he will remain there unless he can resume the public protest stopped by his arrest on Tuesday.

Protests backing his campaign have been gathering momentum across the country.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-14553952

Thousands of people have gathered outside Tihar jail, many carrying the Indian flag and shouting "Down with corruption" and "Hail Mother India".

Supreme Court lawyers have announced they will march to show their support for Mr Hazare, while auto-rickshaw drivers have gone on strike.

'Grave consequences'
Mr Hazare and at least 1,200 of his supporters were arrested at JP Park in the capital on Tuesday morning, hours before he was due to begin his "fast unto death".
The government denied it was stifling a democratic protest, saying the protesters had been detained because they had not accepted the police's restrictions on the number of fasting days and participants.

As public anger mounted, officials ordered Mr Hazare's release. But he refused to leave jail before the police dropped the conditions they set for his freedom.

However, there is no sign yet that the government is prepared to allow that to happen, says the BBC's Mark Dummett in Delhi.

Speaking in parliament, Mr Singh argued that the arrests had been justified and that Mr Hazare's campaign amounted to a challenge to the authority of the government, which he was duty bound to protect.

"I acknowledge that Anna Hazare may be inspired by high ideals," he said. "However, the path that he has chosen to impose a draft of the bill on parliament is totally misconceived and fraught with grave consequences for our parliamentary democracy.
"Those who believe that their voice and their voice alone represents the will of 1.2 billion people should reflect deeply on that position.

"They must allow the elected representatives of the people in parliament to do the job that they were elected for."

The prime minister's speech was constantly interrupted by opposition MPs, many of whom jeered and shouted "shame".

Our correspondent says a prolonged stand-off between the two sides looks possible, with demonstrations being held in Delhi and other cities, and the government's options looking limited.

'Fundamental right'
Mr Hazare is reported to have spent Tuesday night at one of the rooms in the administrative block of Tihar jail.

A member of the India Against Corruption (IAC) movement, Gaurav Bakshi, told the BBC that Mr Hazare was determined to continue to his hunger strike.

"He must be allowed to sit the fast that he was originally asking for at JP Park with no conditions attached to it," he said.
"His basic fundamental reason is that his fundamental right as a citizen of the country - the freedom to fast and protest in any manner anywhere in the country peacefully - has been taken away with 22 conditions imposed. He is against that and he is continuing with the fast where he is."

Mr Bakshi said he had the support of Indians all over the world, who realised this was an "opportunity to clean up the country".

Mr Hazare has called the proposed anti-graft legislation a "cruel joke" and has described the fight against corruption as the "second war of independence".

He says the new anti-corruption ombudsman - Lokpal - should be able to investigate anyone, including the prime minister and senior judges.

India has recently been hit by a string of high-profile corruption scandals, including a multi-billion dollar alleged telecoms scam, alleged financial malpractices in connection with the Delhi 2010 Commonwealth Games and allegations that houses for war widows were diverted to civil servants.

Critics of the government say the scandals point to a pervasive culture of corruption in Mr Singh's administration.

A recent survey said corruption in Asia's third largest economy had cost billions of dollars and threatened to derail growth.

What do you think peeps? Nigeria is next in line with all the corruption and looting of public resources going on by the elite and their cohorts.
Una don see where dem arrest person, person say e no go commot for jail dem come dey beg am?

are u guys sure u haven't killed a pussy tied to a witch? Reminds me of years ago when a couple of Calabar boys killed a big Cobra in my Pale's farm & brought it home. My younger & elder brother ate it and said it was so nice but as for me vultures, frogs, dogs, cats, snakes and Fufu are a No No for me.

Don't want to insult anyone but his reasoning as regards this is low.

I would have rather applied some scaling back.

2year restructure plan
Give madam N20,000 to the market
Get a cheaper accomodation N150,000-250,000 besides what's he doing with a 3b/r apartment with only a wife and a kid?
Is it a must to drive a car? Cut down on fuel.
N8000 beer over three months
and a couple of belt tightening measures until I save enough to start another business or get a better paying job. I think you should also tell your friend that if he quits without something to fall back on then he shouldn't come to you when the going gets rough.

It's about time they open Sapele, Warri, Calabar ports. All this dependence on Lagos port has to stop. Imagine the jobs that can be created from agriculture alone if you make these ports mainly an agricultural and steel exporting port.

Since uren't married I'll suggest u use dis smallie u have now to let her know ure serious. If she really wants u she'll do something about the weight fast.

Nlanders una disappoint O! Ok let me paint dis scenario for u. Cheap option: Just gotten back 4rm work, take-off socks b4 heading 4 d bathroom. Place socks close to those electric devices that fries up insects. Cost effective if u ask me. Besides the same smell can be used to lure mosquitoes around d compound. A silly observation can be used to revolutionize d way we combat malaria. So please tone down ur naiveties pls. Though I enjoy some outrageous remarks here.

Does it matter if they increase the min deposit. There're other banks with zero deposit and better interest rates. UBA and Zenith bank are corporate rogues. There are a variety of smaller banks FCMB, Intercontinental, Oceanic, Union bank,Spring bank etc.

Most of us have been timid for too long. It's time we all did something. Let's focus on PHCN and make it an efficient company. That is the only way to get things to work.

[b]We don't have to attack the government, all we have to do is to gradually focus on a federal establishment until we get to the top.
For Example, We go after PHCN now by heating up the internet, airwaves, local discussions, send emails.
Program
1. Repeatedly have Power issue discussions on all major online gossip/discussion forum.
2. Identifying all PHCN top managers and bombarding them with calls and emails for the availability and installation of Prepaid meters for customers that need them.
3. Do an assessment that should be made available to everyone about the actual cost from the manufacturer of these prepaid meters so as to monitor the prices of these meters.
4. Large scale importation of transformers so as to reduce cost and as well make them readily available.
5. Web programmers can come up with a design/hosting of this online action group. We can then invite the participation of well known honourable Nigerians to push for changes to the system.
Like programmers know, programs are designed from the top down as well as the bottomup. So Nigerians lets redesign this program called Nigeria but this time from the bottom up.
Thank You.[/b]
