Beaf:
Talking all this emotional stuff doesn't cut it. Jonathan has been President for three months and an incredible amount has occured in those three months; mose people are balanced enough not to make extreme judgements in three short months, but hey! If all one can deduce from your writeup is a stream of emotional strings, then you might really be appealing to tribalists and sectionalists, rather than the balanced majority who know that a mere three months is quite a bit too short for some of the words you have chosen.

Lets calm down and take a deep breath and approach matters in a rational way.

More worrying, an incredible amount of money has been spent, or earmarked to be spent. And much of that is on frivolous things.

As someone said earlier, in the first 100 days you can at least set the tone for your presidency. So far, we've seen nothing truly impressive from the man and it becomes clearer by the day that his main focus for now is his re-election. not the country.

The 100 days stuff is just an excuse, really. As the vice president, he has been part and parcel of Governance at the highest level and thus should have a far shorter learning curve than a newbie in that role. Even before the 100 days, he had been acting as president. So why do we need to cut him some slack?

koruji:
Does this remind anyone of a certain movie in which Nigeria was the only "real" country repeatedly branded with all kind of unimaginable acts? Anyone

I'm not sure what you mean by 'real'. All other countries were mentioned by name too. And i'm not sure what this has to do with District 9.


@Topic
The Nigerian guy has taken the right step; take this to the courts.
Does anyone know what powers the 'Equality Court' has? Can they mete out punishment, or just order a removal of all such unfair treatment?

And why exactly does SiaSia's demands include a brand new house and car?

Siasia failed at his last Nigerian job, he's on he verge of failing with Heartland FC and yet you say we should give him an arm and a leg?

This is taxpayers' money, it should be spent wisely. If Glo or other private firms decide to give him the millions he wants, that's fine. but i see no reason why a full blooded Nigerian with no experience at senior level coaching should demand for that sum. where's the patriotism?

Ehrrrm You're wronng. The chick does not have to be mixed. The bridge of the nose or the color of the skin does not classify a person's ethnicity.

Ok, am going to post a few pix and you can guess what their ethnicity is. . .

These are all Yoruba women . . . . Not mixed.[/quote]Good! You're doing everything right: disproving EzeUche's point and educating him with photo evidence. Not going all 'Amateur psychologist' like Shesi here.

shesi:
like i said, my nuanced points (in line with my generally low key nature) may have been lost of weaker minds. Let me break it down for you in simpler terms. I feel benevolent today.

He argued that the miss ghana was mixed hence her good looks. i predicted self hate. which he denied by saying he believes she's mixed because traits like hers are not found in west africa (the same traits that make her beautiful that is). therefore implying that west africans are not beautiful.
is that succinct enough for you?

you're welcome.

And you prove my point again. Your 'self-hate' diagnosis is only based on a loose and perhaps inaccurate interpretation of his words. Not on the 'tangible evidence' you insisted he must present.

While your lofty opinion of your own intelligence is somewhat amusing, you clearly add nothing intellectual to this discussion.
This conversation is over;  You cannot be reasoned with.

I have the images dump if you're interested.

shesi:
i think you'll find i provided ample evidence to back my assertion of self hate. although the rather nuanced nature of my points may have been lost on the weaker minds among us. so i kinda see where you're coming from.

You provided no such 'evidence'. All you did was to show him that the features he felt sure were foreign could be found in pure blooded West Africans.
So how does his error of judgement translate to 'Self-hate' and 'inferiority complex'?

You can take the correction with grace or you can continue to cast these amusing insults my way. Your choice.

I'm gonna get flamed for this, but i have to speak the truth.

Siasia is just being greedy if the stories are true. He has achieved NOTHING coaching at the senior level (please correct me if i'm wrong). He has precious little experience coaching at that level. He'd be best served accepting a very good salary (not exorbitant)  for a 2 year contract, and then if he does well, re-negotiate for more for the long term.
Or perhaps start a little more modestly and then ensure performance based increases and bonuses are thrown in.

MOBO444:
Coach Samson Sisia has the record to show for it,age grade or not, he deserve the money after all the NFF had the chance and opportunity to have got him cheap 3 years ago,2 years ago and 1 year ago,they did not and please we are talking of the Coach of the national team of NIGERIA and not Togo, Mali, Benin, Ghana, South Africa or even Tunisia, This is NIGERIA the Super Eagle.
We seek result and should not be looking at the money at this stage, Siasia is worth every penny he is asking for.

Siasia didn't do well at his last stint in charge of our junior team. Plus, he's coaching Heartland FC at the moment. Why can't they get him at a decent cost now? It's not like Heartland is paying him N2m monthly.

shesi:
it is not expressing your opinion that's the problem. it is foolishly expressing an opinion with such vigor when you have no tangible reason to back it up is what is worrisome.

You had no tangible evidence to back up your 'self-hate' assertion, yet you kept harping on about it. You're veering dangerously close to hypocrisy here.

Kx:
If the pix above is dat of miss niaja whatever it is called, it is either:

1. She is Taribo's younger sister,or
2. She is Obasanjo's daughter,or
3.She is serana williams relation or
4. She is an area girl in Mushin.

I ve never seen a wuglier contestant.

Please remove Serena Williams from that list.

If the Federal Government has decreed that all outbound passengers should be thoroughly screened, why should Bankole think he is above that law?

And more importantly, why are ordinary Nigerians like Aloy Emeka supporting this pompous fellow just because he's a 'big man'?

@PhysicsQED
The money spent on your education was well spent. Very nice post, wish i could send you a beer for that

mystikal:
So sending 42 lucky kids to South Africa for just a week will cripple the Lagos Economy?

So something has to have the potential to cripple the Lagos state economy before it becomes a sub-optimal use of taxpayers' money abi?

Here's an analogy; If given a choice between building a skills acquisition center for 2000 Niger Delta ex-militants or to use that same money to send 150 ex-militants to the UK for skills acquisition, which option would you pick?

babapupa:
Why waste my time on redundancy? You are not making any sense and what you are suggesting is not only ridiculously s/tupid and counterproductive, it defeats the propose.

Yep. Instead of wasting time on Nairaland insulting your betters, you could put more effort in learning how to spell 'purpose'.

WHy the hell do we reserve 20% for 'Educationally less privileged'? Everyone should battle for the limited slots on merit alone.

@poster
Thanks for re-posting this article. I have been running a gun battle to post this article with Jarus the socalled spam-blot since 3 days ago, because according to the moderators, the article was too long.
This article answers the question: why did Akingbola flee the country if he knew he was innocent? The guy could have simply been murdered, and the evidence permenently lost and covered up. I think more will be revealed when Ibru, Soludo, and Ebong make their own position known.
For fear of having our CBN run by some type of criminal gang, the investigations must get to the bottom of all this allegations.

Any investigation requires PROOF, not hearsay.
The priority for now is for Akingbola to face the charges tendered against him with adequate proof of innocence. That is how it is.

babapupa:
I really don't have time for backward and shortsighted thinking today.

That's a surprise! You've been doing that all day.

Chuckdee:
@ TEX,

This is just another sad case of a 'woefully uninformed' scammer!

Nairaland.com has so become infested with such low-lings of recent, its really alarming.

Abi o!
It's even more troubling that people fall for these.

The case against Akingbola is clear. The charges have been put forward by EFCC.
I suggest he starts to prepare a vigorous defence for his unsavoury bank deals ASAP.

babapupa:
And the best way to spend tax payers money is to fly in folks from SA, pay them, lodge and feed them? So it's OK to deny our kids the experience of traveling out to learn and see other cultures, but it's cool to fly in people from outside and give them the same opportunities to learn and see other cultures you just denied our kids, all with the same tax payers money? Are you making any sense at all?

Try thinking forward instead of backward.



What about killing 2 birds with one stone via our kids going over there, learning and at the same time expose them to a different culture, people, way of life and boost their global understanding and also return to share the wonderful and lifelong experience with their constituencies? Are youTry thinking forward instead of backward.

Anyways, you should read and comprehend the article, it explained the propose/Reasons why the kids are in SA.

And how much value does travelling overseas add? We're talking of exposing more kids to this leadership training, is flying 40 kids overseas better value than importing the training courses for 200 kids?

You'll fly in a few folk and lodge and feed them. Even you should be able to see that this is definitely going to be cheaper than taking 40 kids to SA. And i'm not sure what 'culture' any learning administrators will imbibe if they spend one week in a Lagos hotel.

Also, since when did it take flying overseas to learn about other people? This is just lazy talk. Just by watching documentaries, movies and reading books i know a whole lot about the culture of others.
Your stubborn insistence on overseas travel as a major way of assimilating culture shows you failed to take advantage of such learning opportunities when you were young. Your loss, not mine.

PS: Most of our thieving politicians have travelled overseas to more functional societies - what good has that done for Nigeria?

Why not bring these people here to Nigeria to deliver the leadership training? This would ensure that loads more kids are exposed to the training.

I'm not convinced that this is the best way to spend taxpayers' money. Just my 2 cents.

Something about you screams 'Scammer'. Am i right?

Such a shame there isn't any 8GB iphone 3GS. And there's no 8GB iPad.
