Regardless of when Nadal stops winning, he'll be No2 at the end of this month

@FBS,

What are you expecting from the match.

Chimp,

Tsonga, Del potro, Djokovic, Monfils, Robredo, Gonzalez, Davidenko, Cilic, Roddick, Nadal , Federer are all better than Murray

Murray should be on the level of Baghdatis, Schuettler, Wawrinka, Lappenti, Ginepri Youzhny and co

i AM A MEDICAL PERSON, THE DESCRIPTION AND SUDDENNESS OF HER DEATH IS VERY SUSPICIOUS. VEN WITH HYPERTENSION, THE WORST THAT CAN HAPPEN IS STROKE OR SUDDEN DEATH, BUT NO WHERE WOULD YOU FIND THE PATIENT WITH BLOOD OZING FROM THEIR MOUTH AND EARS. THOSE ARE TELL TALE SIGNS OF PHYSICAL ABUSE AND VIOLENCE AND PERHAPS, POISON. I THOUGHT THIS MUCH WHEN I FIRST READ THE STORY. There is a smoke with fire here. She did not die a natural death. no way. a thorough independent autopsy and inquest will find out the truth. How serious was her Hypertension? what is in her medical record in respect of the severity of her Hypertension. This smelt of Murder! i know it is a difficult time for the family, but the suspicion is very real and more evidence needs to be sought. Someone has got blood in their hands!

This is not about tribal affiliation like some people would turn it into.

Sanusi exposed a major flaw in the Soludo CBN tenure that Soludo overlooked.

How an Intercontinental bank grew from 2004 to 2008 is nothing short of voodoo.

I know a lot about these banks especially Intercontinental and IBTC as an insider. The bad loans tagged as performing were just waiting to explode in their face.

OBJ is a Yoruba man and I criticize him and would criticize him everyday for the ruins he brought the country into.

A Soludo was a refreshing change from the Do-nothing Joseph Sanusi anyway.

Nigeria was not ready for independence. Infact I kinda like the fact that people like Pa Enahoro are living witnesses of what they got us into. We should infact still be colonized right now. It is obvious everywhere you go that Nigerians are not good leaders. There is nothing shameful about being weak in some areas as long as you have a plan to manage the weakness. Whatever we thought we wanted to avoid by getting independence have not been avoided.
1. Today, a British man is superior to a Nigerian in this country.
2. There is no resource or advantage that our previous colonial masters want that they can't get even today and for cheap.
3. The foreigners are still the ones who can afford to stay where the colonial masters stayed in Ikoyi.
4. The majority of Nigerians are still enslaved by their own people whether as houseboys, drivers or in jobs where they work for nothing.

My personal opinion is that we still need colonial masters but because it is not fashionable these days, it will make sense to hand over the management of our affiars and the headship of key ministries and Parastatals to competent foreigners while we learn from them.


The statement below by Lord Lugard is probably one of the most racial statements that most of us will have read but I'm ashamed to say that it is true today as it was several years ago when the observation was made. As a black man I am proud of today as Mr. Obama becomes the first black president of the U.S.A. and wish the same can happen in Nigeria or Africa but it is sad to note that we are not even our way. The Obama victory to me is one driven more by whites than black even though Nigerians and Africans are desperate to see it as black victory. It is important to note that it was even whites that believed in him before the blacks supported him and eventually gave him victory.


""In character and temperament" wrote Lord Lugard, "the
typical African of this race-type is a happy,
thriftless, excitable person. Lacking in self control,
discipline, and foresight. Naturally courageous, and
naturally courteous and polite, full of personal vanity, with
little sense of veracity, fond of music and loving
weapons as an oriental loves jewelry. His thoughts are
concentrated on the events and feelings of the moment,
and he suffers little from the apprehension for the
future or grief for the past. His mind is far nearer to
the animal world than that of the European or
Asiatic, and exhibits something of the animals placidity
and want of desire to rise beyond the State he has
reached. Through the ages the African appears to have
evolved no organised religious creed, and though some
tribes appear to believe in a deity, the religious sense
seldom rises above pantheistic animalism and seems more
often to take the form of a vague dread of the
supernatural"

He lacks the power of organisation, and is
conspicuously deficient in the management and control alike of
men or business. He loves the display of power, but
fails to realise its responsibility , he will work
hard with a less incentive than most races. He has the
encourage of the fighting animal -an instinct rather than
a moral virtue, In brief, the virtues and defects
of this race-type are those of attractive children,
whose confidence when it is won is given ungrudgingly as
to an older and wiser superior and without
envy, Perhaps the two traits which have impressed me as
those most characteristic of the African native are his
lack of apprehension and his ability to visualize the
future" Pg 70 of The Dual Mandate by F.D.Lugard 1926

@Topic,

One thing I love and hate about Nigerians is that they are very critical.

Today they like and applaud you

Tomorrrow they hate and judge you.

Dbanj is the talk of the town. He introduced koko mansion and the same Nigerians wrote him off.

2face is the best. His personal and private life became a source of hatred.


Na so we be.

Sooner than later, we will start hearing hateful messages about Rugged Man

We all seem to have forgotten how Kosovo, the actual spiritual heartland of the Serbs, was granted indepence, despite pleas from Serbia, and warnings from Russia. Kosovo wasn't granted independence with the blessings of NATO 'cos NATO felt for them. Rather, it was done for strategic reasons. The US will be building it's largest military base (camp bondsteel) there with its aim being the protection of an oil pipeline that crosses through Kosovo. Kosovo's independence is seen as a big blunder on the part of the US and NATO as it was not done with the approval of the UN. This action also lead to increased tension between the US & Russia, and also contributed to the Russian-Georgian war in 2008 which resulted in the loss of lives. So I believe that Yaradua made the right decision.

On the Contratry I think you are the one that is very retarded,It beats my imagination on how  crude and unintelligent some people sound on this forum(you being a classic example).The postor simply said he was a young man at 35 which is undisputable by any standards,your assertions about only in Nigeria would you find people referring to people under 50 as young is simply daft,In the US Obama is 47 and is still regarded as a young ,vibrant man who is still capable of embrasing and instigating change.

A lot of people like you are first to complain that you dont get jobs and blaim other people for your misfortunes but from your post (a lot of Ibgo yearns-Mariguana) this would not come as a surprise.Enlighten us about your achievements before you call another person an idiot.If you have personal grievances,deal with them. Do not come to a forum and embarass yourself.People like you are the one of the various reasons why Nigeria is not achieving its full potential-the inability to have a proper arguement or discussion without using foul langauge and exhibiting very negative emotions without actually making any sense.

When I read this, I couldn't help laughing. You must be proud of yourself now after that rabble? If anything, you've confirmed you're daft indeed! . Bigbois simply stated that putting comments like that  in context always makes it clearer. I know of many people that've been denied important positions simply because someone concluded  they were "too/very young" or should "wait for your time", even at the age of 37!

Of all the posts on this subject, I think you've offered the shallowest, weakest agument, having not made any sensible contibution . In fact, you have goofed in your abhorent ignorance. And yes, the reference often made to Barack Obama being a young man, is mainly made in the context of the presidents before him, who where often much older!  . If you're as intelligent as you want us to believe you are (though I'm convinced you aren't anyway ), take a moment to reflect on your argument before engaging those fat fingers before that shallow brain. That way, you may just pass for an



Your responce is a perfect example why people should not send posts or replies when they are under the influence, you must have been high while writing.

let me qoute you, ( and I dont need comical icons to accentuate my points, eg )

Bigbois simply stated that putting comments like that in context always makes it clearer. I know of many people that've been denied important positions simply because someone concluded they were "too/very young" or should "wait for your time", even at the age of 37!,

Is that what he simply said or you are just here to make a nuisance of yourself( or most probably I would basically not be surprised it the same person with 2 different registered identities) because I cannot possibly see any reason a right thinking person would read that post and not be offended by all the tacky talk,but we are all of different mental capabilities and reasonings.

In his post he made very indecent remarks towards the OP in an attempt to drive home his nonsensical points(just as yourself).The truth is always contant, a 35 years has just lived half of his biological and natural life and can as such achieve a lot in that timeframe remaining, that is my point.I hope this would serve as a reawakening for you to stop abusing substances while on the internet as you completely make a fool of yourself.This is not a porn site where you just come and look and say rubbish,this is a serious forum where (even native intelligence is highly required) .If you want to make comments like that ,go to PDP campaign offices and the like -they need the services of your kind.

Walmart in Nigeria is certainly not a good thing.

See what Tesco Stores are doing in the UK: farmers are getting poor or being driven out of business by tescos price demands, not to talk of the thousands of small retailers tesco has driven out of business.

Walmart may creat a number of jobs, but they'll be driving a lot more people out of work, particularly in the villages, and guess what? ,  most will then head into the cities.

,  and for some post I read a minute ago: Harrods isnt opening in Nigeria. There is only one harrods branch, and its staying that way.

Who cares !!! at least Tesco creates lots of jobs that would have a positive multiplier effect on the economy(in terms of more disposable income,increased spending ,tax income for the govt) and would invariably improve the nations economy not to talk of the increased competition it would create in the primary sector (and would allow the country make its much needed transition to a fully operational secondary and third sector)which would inevitably lead to the development of the country.Your comaprison to the Uk is very faulty,the Uk is a developed country .Like China and the BRIC countries what we need in Nigeria is foreign investments-we should encourage it and not compare ourselves to nations that are ahead of us in terms of development(by probably hundreds of years).

What research have you carried out to suggest farmers would get poorer,on the contrary I would imagine it would create jobs in the rural sector as there would be more demand for their products and would inevitably increase efficiency as competition would grow.In the current economic climate ,any hint of foreign investment should be applauded and not discouraged,for any organisation to decide to operate in Nigeria,be commercially aware that they are most likely closing down operations elsewhere probably because of business costs,Nigeria has all the potential to be the next China( maybe even more) apart from infrastructural constraints we have the knowledgable workforce,cheap labor force and we speak english.Given the opportunity Nigerians would work like horses so I would personally support any positive investments to the country that would create jobs and let us comprehend that we dont have to work in oil companies to earn a decent living, just my 10 cents

Wetin this get to do with anything? I no want to loose anybody, irrespective of the age, slowpoke!

From your contribution I can see you're retarded!. @Bigbois has a point and articulated his view and moved on, so did @poster. You still dey there dey battle your mental retardation. FYI 35 is much nearer to middle age than you think. Young man, yes. Very very young, child, infant, NO.

Na true bigbois talk, na only naija people like you go dey call papa pickin! If you haven't reached 50 in naija, you are still a baby, too young, too inexperienced, too this and that, when 40 na the average age of directors for some of the biggest companies in the world.  Idiot.
