Am beginning to see matured reasoning in your debate now. Its commendable.

Get a patent from where? Wont Referral be needed from his govt?
Writing to WHO,UN etc takes time and its capital intensive too-----hiring lawyers and other consultants.

The world respond to such issues faster than you can say Nairaland.

All he needs is to get a Lawyer that can file an international patent right, protecting his intellectual property, anywhere in the world, that way, no one can lay claim or even produce the vaccines without paying him huge sums of money.

I just spoke, a couple of minutes ago, with one of the staff who happens to disagree with the High commissioner's stance and urges we get emails in to urge him to sit down and actually watch the video again, making sure to set aside his BIAS for the international media and his insecurities. I hope many people will stand up for the Joseph's, the Eric's, and the majority of Nigerians living in poverty today who are out there. There story needs to be told and their Nigeria is the same Nigeria with billions in oil revenue.

Get your voice heard!
Its wrong of BBC to have titled the video "Welcome to Lagos" in the first place.

It projects the whole of lagos as a dirty slum whose inhabitants are scavengers.

It is the duty of the High Commission to ensure such wrong signals aren't being projected to the world. If such a video was shot in China, i can bet my last penny the chinese government will impose heavy sanctions on BBC and wouldn't mind getting involved in a diplomatic row with the British government over it.

If you are going to show a "welcome to lagos video" than don't just stop at the slums, BBC ought to show developments going on in the state as well.

How exactly do you tell your russian friends you are a citizen of Lagos state when all they know and believe about lagos is what they watched on the BBC video.

I'm happy that the high commission is taking such measures to redeem the country's image.

Its enough that we are known as being totally corrupt and also with terrorist tendencies, calling us a buncha people who have their dwellings in slum shouldn't be our next branding!

"Build a better mouse trap and the world will build a footpath to your doorstep"---Ralph Waldo Emerson

All Abalaka need do is to get a Patent about his discovery, and if the government is not supportive, let him write to the UN, UNICEF, WHO, etc etc.

If he truly developed a vaccine as he claimed, such things wouldn't even be a subject of debate after close to 8 years!

saying the government is not supportive is just a darn lame excuse, let him present his findings for all to see.

Abalaka's last words b/4 he decided to take it easy are "If they cant listern to me 2day, let them learn in a hard way 2morrow''. Are we not learning the hard way 2day as it concerns Aids and ppl living with it?

We would have all be kissing his backside if Abalaka was white and trained in ''one big school outside the country''

Mind you even those who opposed him at that time, were only afraid of one thing----Cos he was using ''HIV VACCINE'' in his experiments.

Believe me, the cure to HIV lies in VACCINE not drugs as the world has being trying to achieve.

If ours is not a country that discourages innoventions, the VACCINES Abalaka worked on should be improved on, rather than looking for drug cures for Hiv/Aids.

The environments those you mention worked were totally different. Do i have to debate on the environmental diiferences? Am sure you know them!
I'm sorry for this rather insulting statement i'm about to make, but besides becomericha, I'm yet to come across anybody as dumb as you.


Are you kidding?. . . someone found a vaccine for HIV and he kept quite because the government is not supportive and in your {perhaps his} own words, because he wants people to "learn the hard way"?

and who, pray tell, exactly is he angry at?

Are you saying he's just not tempted with the monetary gains, influence, awards, and respect, and popularity he stands to gain from he whole world?

oh lemme guess, because the government is not supportive, he simply can't log onto the internet and google up whatever organization that is ready to shed off $$$$$$$billions for his research if genuine?

And don't even debate on environmental differences, if his claims are true, the US or whatever smart government is ready to bend all the laws in their constitution in order to grant him a citizen status, with well furnished apartment and white boys licking his feet!
PoliticsRe: CBN Intervention Damaging Economy, Says Gusau by violent(m): 5:40pm On Apr 22, 2010
The whole problem is that CBN did not intervene at a point when it ought to have rescued the banks from the rippling effect of the global crisis which saw the price of oil dropped from a staggering $140 per barrel to $30 per barrel which in turn led bankruptcy on the part of oil merchants who took enormous loans from the banks without good collateral,

These, along with the crash in stock market sector, any smart Governor will plan a cushioning effect on the banking sector by injecting capital to protect against a windfall.

Rather, our dear Soludo, still suffering from his hypnotically delusioned mindset of a "finance guru" who engineered the capitalization of Nigerian banks, lied to us about how well insulated we are against a global crisis!. . . . .  .wow!!!!! {the biggest lie ever told in the history of mankind}}

People should have asked questions, and directed much of this blame at him for selling us imaginary bridges and raising our hopes as well as for putting his political ambitions above all else in a time when the biggest economies in the world were crumbling to their feet!

I have never been a great advocate of Sanusi, but i must admire the man's courage to expose the rot and malpractice in the banking sector, not minding whose ox is gored.

However, one thing i disapprove of about his approach  is lack of exit strategy before beginning!  His handling of the whole scenario played out to people's suspicion of an ulterior motive, because from the beginning, he seem to have announced his intentions of selling the banks, without giving them  a benefit of doubt or time to handle their crisis.

But for people to blame him for the current slow growth the country is witnessing is preposterous at most.  Anybody with even the basic knowledge of economic cycle should realize that every economy experience fluctuations and periods of expansion and contraction, one of the most common xtics of a contraction however is a squeeze in credit intermediation.

In the UK, US, France, just name it, bigger corporations with big market capitalization found it extremely difficult to get access to credit in early to mid 2009-----why? because the economy was experiencing a recession, that's why.

It is only embarrassing for folks to keep shouting Sanusi's policy is "anti growth" because their is a squeeze in credit intermediation, and more embarrassing is the fact that the NSA boss who has no formal education on management of fiscal policy or risk management in financial intermediaries would open up his buccal cavity and join the semi literate ones.
PoliticsRe: CBN Intervention Damaging Economy, Says Gusau by violent(m): 3:20pm On Apr 22, 2010
If these banks are this bad, why is the CBN trying to sell them, why have they lined up a bevy of willing buyers for banks that are supposedly dead? Shareholders will not allow the CBN to take over what the CBN did not set up. The CBN’s role is to regulate banks, not to manage banks and definitely not to sell banks it does not own.
The CBN's role is to regulate banks, and as well act as a fiduciary to debt holders, in this case, depositors as well as bondholders.

It will be illegal for the CBN to liquidate any bank without a good reason, and even such will have grave consequences to shareholders, depositors, and evidently on the economy as a whole.

If the banks were really that bad, its only the the interest of shareholders that the banks be sold or merged with another of a stronger influence to provide synergy.

E.g: Let's say Intercontinental Bank merges with BNP paribas, shareholders stand to gain from tremendous opportunities that abound in foreign investments to which BNP paribas is well known to be a player.
This will also give intercontinental an opportunity to raise cash in form of equity and debt anywhere in the world.

The downside for shareholders however is that they'd loose a percentage of their stake when valued with the overall net value of the holding company, however, the share value of their stock stand to rise tremendously!

Depositors and customers stand to benefit from such synergy given a diverse range of products and services that will be available to them. . . . . and in the end, everybody is happy!

However, i believe its not right for the central bank to compel shareholders into such agreement. It should be a decision taken at the discretion of the bank's management.

Your IMF Backing was on 16 September 2009. We are in April 2010 and Nigerians are directly feeling the pinch of Sanusi's anti-growth policies and you are still quoting IMF assessment last year?
The fact that it was September last year does not make it any less invalid, are you by any means saying those guys were drunk when they were saying those things?

Nigerians are feeling it, that's right, Sanusi didn't promise a smooth sail, all he promised was a better one in the end, if you want the rainbow, you have to put up with the rain.

Nigeria is not the only country to suffer the effects credit squeeze and job losses.

[size=18pt]IMF Backs Sanusi’s Banking Reforms[/size]
By Ayodele Aminu, 09.16.2009

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has endorsed the ongoing banking reforms by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, which necessitated the removal of the Chief Executive Officers of five banks last month.

The endorsement came yesterday in Abuja from the fund’s country Chief and Represen-tative in Nigeria, David Nellor.

THISDAY learnt that the endorsement was a fallout of the meetings the IMF delegation from Washington D.C, United States of America,  held with top officials of the CBN, which threw more light on the banking reforms.

CBN had on August 14 sacked the managements of five banks – Afribank, FinBank, Intercontinental Bank, Oceanic Bank and Union Bank – over the huge non-performing loans of their banks and other alleged financial abuses.

The apex bank injected N420 billion into them, saying lax governance had left the five banks dangerously undercapitalised.

Thereafter, it appointed new helmsmen (John Aboh (Oceanic Bank), Lai Alabi (Intercontinental Bank), Susanne Iroche (FinBank), Nebolisa Arah (Afribank) and Funke Osibodu (Union Bank) into these institutions to stabilise and make them attractive for core investors.

Nellor, in a statement made available to THISDAY in Lagos, said he "endorses the CBN’s intervention in some banks as essential to building a sound financial sector that can promote long term growth and development consistent with the goals being set for the Vision 2020.”

He added: “A core principle of an effective banking system is public trust - trust that deposits will be safe, trust that banks allocate financial resources to productive activities, and trust that banks will manage risk. Underlying this trust is a public expectation that sound governance practices are employed in the banking system. These fundamental tenets enable the banking system to promote sound economic growth and development. To that end, the central bank as regulator has the responsibility to ensure that the principles of banking enshrined in legislation and the CBN’s mandate are preserved.”

Like many countries during the crisis, the CBN, according to the IMF representative, followed a systematic process of examining the banks.

“Special examinations of bank balance sheets by the CBN and NDIC were launched. The purpose of the examinations was to verify asset quality and examine related party transactions. This process is and should continue to be conducted for all banks in the system.

“Based on the findings of these initial examinations, the CBN appropriately required additional provisioning in all banks and in others it was essential for it to intervene by replacing management and injecting funds into the bank balance sheets. In the latter cases, various combinations of severe loan delinquency, undercapitalisation, systematic liquidity shortfalls, and serious governance problems justify such action based on the mandate given the central bank,” Nellor said.

Consequently, he said, the fund is in support of the CBN’s public commitment to protect depositors and creditors.

Nellor said the immediate goals were to stabilise the banks, seek full recapitalisation through loan recovery and new investors, and strengthen the corporate governance and credit practices in the banks.

“Over time these actions should enable the central bank to remove itself from both the management and balance sheets of the banks in a manner consistent with financial stability,” he said.

Well I don't enjoy your level of confidence in Nigeria to feel like you. Selective justice (read injustice) has been my lot since I lost a war in 1970. Just as a previous victim of snake bite flees at the sight of a lizard's head, I hurt disproportionately when selective justice is applied to me.
I don't care if Nigeria becomes a jungle of death. Just don't use me to start fixing it. Use EVERYBODY simultaneously.
Don't pick on weak targets because that target can strengthen up tomorrow.
Its not about picking on weak targets, it would be wrong for the ICPC to go after him if he hadn't participated in treasury looting, the fact that he only looted a paltry {since you have chosen to call 104m a paltry} does not make him any less a fúcking thief!

Truth is we really can't expect the ICPC or EFCC to go after them all at once, when it was Bode George's turn, we all bid him farewell on his way to the prison, now its Ibroi and Ogbulafor's turn, if guilty, then let them go down as well.

The burden of proof is on ICPC you know, and gathering evidences and proofs especially against a high ranking officer who has every means of frustrating such efforts is really a pain staking job, you don't just expect to wake up tomorrow and hear the EFCC going down on OBJ, they need hard facts and if you as a person are prepared to bring such facts to the table then by all means do so!

But in the meanwhile, now that they have evidence of malpractices on Ogbulafor, do you expect them to wait because[i] "their are others who stole more than he did"?[/i]

Its not a case of who stole more and who stole less!

The contraction in credit to the private sector is as a result of banks rebuilding their balance sheet which was severely damaged during the faux boom of the Soludo era. Because the contraction followed Sanusi's actions, people automatically assume that he is responsible for it. I guess it's the kind of reasoning that led people to associate sunshine with malaria.
Now this got me really laughing hard!
PoliticsRe: Ogbulafor, Pdp Chairman, Charged To Court For Theft Of N104m by violent(m): 11:44pm On Apr 21, 2010
I hope you don't expect me to follow your logic here comparing a fraud like Salisu Buhari and a man like Ogbulafor who is more qualified than all the people that have ruled Nigeria till date.
If you are fair minded, you would ask why the investigation over a comparatively paltry N104 million must happen now, while all those who stolen billions of dollars are walking around and even planning to contest elections next year.
What I hate in Nigeria is this unfair treatment and double standards that is reserved for the politically weak in Nigeria.
Jonathan should be careful.

I don't support crime. However if all the thieves who wrecked Nigeria are walking around free, and Ogbulafor was walking around free until he restated the party's zoning position, how did he suddenly become indictable? What changed?  
People openly speculated that Jonathan may start shopping for those who would bend the rules and allow his contest next year. Why didn't Jonathan wait till the conventions to sponsor his favorite candidate? Why must he humiliate Ogbulafor out of office?  
Like I said, this is witch hunt and leaves a bad taste.
Shouldn't we stop this habit of comparing crimes?

The fact that one stole 200,000 and the other sole 1 trillion does not make the former any better-----both are simply criminals and they both deserve to be hanged and their dead body shot!

Another thing that annoys me is the fact that people have chosen to take consolation in the "our son is ruling" mentality, that alone seems enough for them.

I don't care if the person in power has a chinese or Japanese lineage, all i care is for responsible people to be in such position.

The dude you feel so much concern for in all probability has not developed your community or town ever since he took on that position, he's children probably change their cars every year or so while a poor man in you village finds it difficult to pay his kids school fees, now he's been charged for corruption, you feel sympathy for him all because he's Ndigbo and in local terms he's "our son"-----thts just pathetic.

I don't care if its selective justice or not, all i care about and feel downright happy with is the fact that those that met the blade of Justice were found guilty to begin with.
