Why is Akin Alabi talking like a layman? Who doesn't know that gambling and lottery companies pay more taxes than your normal mainstream businesses? This is just a politically induced post. EOD! |
Husbands should love their wife. The wives are then expected to be submissive. Naturally, when a wife feels loved by her husband, she becomes submissive naturally. |
Why do we have to see this news everyday? This thing has been on Front Page everyday for the past 1 week plus. BMC, we know he has released their pension and we acknowledge that it is commendable. Now, can we move to another cogent matter? Haba! |
Ugosample:Well said and noted... Also note that even when bailed, the Government (which is a representative of the public) becomes an influencing stakeholder by virtue of that bailout. Bailout is not free tissue to wipe away the Managers/Directors shit. Someone has to pay for it by way of finance and/or legal prosecutions were found necessary. |
onegig:We are on the same path but I wanted to stress that it's a little bit of here and there. You're both not wrong. However, none of the extremes you and Ugosample stated are independent of each other. They become one and the same since Government funds are used to bail out the troubled bank. That is the reason why when a troubled bank is bailed, the managers/directors of the bank as well as the managers/directors of the defaulting companies are usually investigated and prosecuted where necessary. |
Boss13:I never said it was my business or any one's. It always behoves the creditor to do due diligence before giving out a loan. However, I still insist that, where the Government gives a bail out, which is usually from tax payers' money, investigations would be carried out in order to ensure that due diligence was carried out in the disbursement and utilisation of that bad loan in the first place. Where discrepancies are discovered, managers and/or directors of the said troubled firm are made to pay via the law. The introduction of tax payers' funds are no longer the bank's business alone. That is why AMCON, as an arm of the Government, can make public, information as this published by the OP. The Government in this case, has become a creditor by way of the bail out funds. Bail out funds made it the public's business; Simple and Short. |
Boss13:This is the reason why our society is where it is at the moment. What happened to those who managed the Lehmann Brothers in America as well as other companies that were bailed in the last recession? Do you think Government gave them free money to bail themselves without being accountable for pervious mismanagement of loans in the past? Why do you think the law in the West expects a company going down to file for bankruptcy? Do you think it's just a mere formality? |
onegig:Both you and Ugosample are right. However, in your case, you must understand that inasmuch as the government bails the bank in cases of bad loans, it is in a bid to stabilize the economy and not because they handed money to the banks before then to give to businesses. Where I could agree more with you is if those loans were misappropriated and government has to bail the bank or company out, then managers of those businesses ought to face the wrath of the law for such misappropriation of funds. Unfortunately, the rule of law is weak over here. People can use commercial loans for burial ceremonies and get away with it, and even go ahead to brag on it. On the other hand, the small tax payer will get a loan on same high interest and end up prosecuted unfailingly if he doesn't meet up payment of his small loans. The Nigerian case is so peculiar because of corruption and failed leadership. |
This is a clear definition of Pareto's Principle of 80/20 or 90/10, whichever suits you. In a country of over 180million people, a mere 105 people owe 905 billion naira. |
*Failed Leadership. *Poor Orientation coming down from years of improper or no enforcement of guiding laws and regulation. *Weak and in some cases, ineffective justice system. Quality leadership will create proper laws and ENSURE that they are enforced. When there is a lack of political will to enforce guiding laws and regulations in all sphere of life, the people will tend to act lawless. Remember, Man is selfish naturally. Education will come in next in order to change the orientation of people in a society. However, this is heavily dependent on the las paragraph. When proper laws are created and enforced, education will help people to understand that it's no longer business as usual and also guide on proper conduct. Whether you love it or not, a strong justice system is paramount to building a sustainable community. Unfortunately, Justice and law enforcement is not cheap. That is why you see that an Ibori can be tried with Government money over in the UK while over here, our Police Stations cannot afford to provide witness statement sheets for recording of witness statements. Also, you must understand that corruption starts like a drop of water and it is cheaper to nip it in the bud early as when it grows out of hand, it becomes very expensive (just like the Nigerian case) to curtail, not to talk of extinguish. In summary, we need to vote in the right leaders so that we can have people respect the laws of the land. The right leadership strengthens the rule of law and ensures that it (the rule of law) has the bite to prosecute law breakers whether big or small. Corruption didn't start this big. It always starts as a drop of water or a little bribe here and there. With our current state at the moment, technology is the cheapest way we can catch up with the west in terms of enforcing the rule of law. When I do have more references, I'll modify this comment or create a new comment. |

I don't understand most of the comments here... However, after reading the post, I'll boldly tell all APC actors and co in Lagos to just shut up and take their beef out of the newspapers as I'm tired of hearing all these very now and then. All you see in the whole article is stark selfishness. Lagosians are just having the short end of the stick and it has been so since 1999. In fact, these politicians should just be cleared from the face of the earth. |
amamahdaniel:I like your doggedness. Rare indeed! |

Good morning |
Diamond360:Exactly... PDP has lost more ground in Lagos than acquired since 2015 and they don't even know it yet. |

This Gulak story is a comedy on its own. How were results produced in the bush biko? ![]() |
LifestyleTonite:He has no option but to give a response, any response. |
Ambode must have really crossed the party machinery in Lagos state for him to lose that seat. For him to lose woefully on a direct primary system , it was obvious the party had left him. It wasn't all about Tinubu. After all, it was Tinubu's Alpha Beta that was squeezed into the revised Land Use Charge law that also increased Land Use Charge in the state. I believe Tinubu was smart to go with the tide in order to keep his Godfather image intact as he was forced to choose between Ambode and the Grassroots Party Machinery. Unfortunately, Lagos State has become a mini China - a state with a one-party system. I do not see, in the near future, how any opposition party can change that as the party has its members in every sphere of the state , most especially, the civil service. The Lagos Political Machine , which was built by Tinubu, has become bigger than any individual person. Even Tinubu himself cannot go against that ruthless machine. Ambode's fate was expected. Best wishes to the people of Lagos State now and in the future. |
