PoliticsRe: Pictures Of The Remodelled Benin Airport by talk2s(m): 2:46am On Mar 13, 2013
Some of you seem to have a problem with reading between the lines and assimilating what you read.
Did you not all read that the Air Port, before the repaires, was originally built to cater for 200 passengers but that it can now, after the remodelling, accomodate for 400?
Did you equally not note the other differences?
Why is most Nigerians, sorry, naira-landers this condemnatory, judgemental and sadistic?
If you refuse to express gratitude and appreciation, your life will definately be devoid of the duo. QED.
Keep coming. Just watch out!

Poems For ReviewRe: My Poetry by talk2s(m): 8:47pm On Mar 12, 2013
This poem helps reminisce the good old days: when the beauty of art was given its pride of place;
When art was not celebrated for fun but for the sakes of art;
When the place of art was extolled and amplified...

Indeed, that is a masterpiece of poetry.

Eko Ile: Why abuse you? You are doing a great job abusing yourself with the ridiculous and corrupt question you keep asking all over the place and the answer to your question is CAPITAL NO.


The fact that you can not tell the difference between right and wrong doesn't mean the rest of us can't also.
It's so obvious that you have what it takes 'not to tell the difference between right and wrong'. Equally, i never knew a question could be corrupt?
Knowlegeable man!

Reference: I would have rejected it instantly and accused the promoters of trying to bring my government into disrepute.

I mean. How much political capital is this man bringing into your treasury to warrant such depreciation. Except as I suspect it may all be down to good old blackmail.
Almost excllently said, except...
But come to think of it, to what extent can the age-long global maxim 'talk is cheap' be held in reliance?
Also is the saying 'it is easier said than done' anything to go by?
PoliticsRe: FG Pardons Diya, Yar'adua, Alamieyeseigha & Others by talk2s(m): 7:31pm On Mar 12, 2013
Eko Ile: It's either guilty conscience because he was either part of the whole scam and looting since he was the deputy governor and he looked the other way while his boss emptied the treasury or he's just criminally crooked and minded and even unpatriotic himself.


Why is the president refusing to publicly declare his assets and even muscling the agency involved to disobey the law by not honoring the FOI requests to see his assets.


This is a lawless country and president.


The man he pardoned today is still an international fugitive so naija laws and shenanigans means nothing, ask ibori..


With people like you and your warped mentality, GEJ na secondary.
Thanku for only attempting to abuse me.
But were u GEJ,what would have been your stand?

Though I'm not in support of that decision by the 'Council of State', not 'GEJ' unilaterally (as many of you have alleged), but all of you that are abusing and cursing our Country's Number citizen with reckless abandon for this outcome, be sincere to yourselves, were you in his (GEJ's) shoes, where your former boss is involved, WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN YOUR POSITION when that matter came up?

PoliticsRe: N'delta Coalition Wants Imbalance In Oil Block Allocation Tackled by talk2s(m): 2:33pm On Mar 09, 2013
mu2sa2: People still talking oil when the world is talking alternative energy sources. See how backward we are in this country. Soon there will be nobody to sell the oil to with huge reserves being discovered in US and other countries as well as a shift away from fossil fuel. Agriculture and solid minerals - that's the future.
I thought u wêre going to conclude by asking de obvious question from your analysis, which ïs:
Is it very Soon that Oil will no longer valueble that the South will now wake up?
Therefore, THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW, or never!

PoliticsRe: Ezekwesili Replies Sanusi On $45bn Reserves by talk2s(m): 5:34pm On Mar 08, 2013
naijaguy77: This is Economic Illiteracy at the highest level. I used hold Madam Ezekwesili in high regard until this issue.

The foreign reserve is the foreign currency we get when we export our goods or services. Since we cannot spend dollars in Nigeria, we print the Naira equivalent of the dollar and spend i.e. If Mr Okoro exports cassava to USA, he earns $$s, he can't pay his farmers in $$s, nor can he buy other goods and services, so he takes his dollars to the bank (cbn), they print the naira equivalent and give to him, cbn collects the dollars and keeps in the Forex Reserve. 2 weeks later, Mr Okoro wants to import machinery for his business, he has naira but needs $$s, he takes his naira to cbn, who then exchange it and give him $$ equivalent taken from our Forex Reserve.

Anytime you pop champagne in a club, invite Kim Kardashian, or buy a car, you are contributing to the depletion of our Forex Reserve. Anytime you consume imported goods or services that have to ultimately be paid for using forex, you are contributing to the depletion of the Forex Reserve. It is that simple.

The Forex Reserve is not such a big deal, it is just a mechanism/tool used by the CBN for stabilising the local currency. So is it correct to accuse the FG of squandering the Forex Reserve? NO. Anyone who makes such an accusation is more or less an economic illiterate. The following can easily lead to the depletion of Forex Reserve:

1) Increase in consumption of Foreign Goods and Services. E.g. Cars, Food, Foreign Education, Machinery, Expatriate worker demand, or Kim Kadashian.

2) Decrease in value of export. E.g. Fall in oil prices.

3) Increase in the value of the Naira against the Forex Reserve currency.

4) A combination of some or all of the above.

The following points above mean that, NO matter how PRUDENT the FG is, the forex reserve can still be depleted by the lack of productivity of the economy, or the profligacy and foreign taste of the citizens. It is therefore very silly to accuse the FG of squandering the Forex Reserve.

Does FG also contribute to depletion of FR? YES, but nothing on the scale of other consumers in the economy. The FG would need forex just like other stakeholders in the economy, and their need, relatively speaking, is certainly not huge as the rest of the country combined. Ironically, it is the FG, through oil export earnings by NNPC and Oil companies, that is the largest contributor to the Forex Reserve.

Economic Illiteracy can make you look stupid, it certain has done so the Madam Ezekwesili.

Stay tuned for part 2 - Excess Crude Account (ECA)

PoliticsRe: Protesters Shut-down Governor’s Office In Abeokuta by talk2s(m): 3:25am On Mar 08, 2013
I wonder why most public office holders in Africa like waking up suddenly and attempt desperately to correct perceived wrongs and illegalities.
What does the doctrine of due process seek to address?
They shouldn't have given the occupants of that area valid approvals in the first place. But in event where they now fathom or reason that the area should now be used for developmental purposes, the Government should have FIRST, negotiated on compensations and paliatives.
