^^^Yawns, ,u still have'nt justified pointing your fathers house with your left hand, pls try harder.

Karens action is just plain stupid. Does this mean she wont nominate till the end of d show or what? This simply puts Vina at a disadvantage if shes put up for eviction along with her just cos she*s having a guilt feeling. Damn

Despite the deafening public out-cry against some recent policy decisions of the CBN Gov, the truth remains that NOn-Interest banking, 150k Withdrawal limit and Steamlining of Banks are the hallmaks of his achievements

Sanusi's major achievement so far has been the restoration of confidence in Nigerian banks, at least now we know which are standing and which are on their knees. There was a time our banks were at the wrong end of unsavory innuendos in the foreign financial press despite gathering accolades from all sorts of bodies. Soludo's monetary policies were impressive but the mere speculation that Nigerian banks were internally troubled nearly brought the entire economy on its knees at the most critical time. Sanusi's policies may not be too popular on the streets but he's achieved the single most important ingredient of a financial mkt - Confidence, the jury's still out on him and its still early days yet. But so far, so good IMO.

I'm insinuating: if we(all stakeholders: Admin, Mods, members) manage it well.

Well, I do my honest patriotic bit as an ordinary floor member on this forum that wants to see his country succeed, question is; do you?

Jarus:
But whatever the case, Nairaland will soon become the go-to for policy evaluation discourses in Nigeria, if well managed.

Dont kid yourself, we all know Nairaland and most opinions expressed on this forum are far removed from the reality that is todays Nigeria and wld therefor be nothing but a self delusionary gauge of the opinion of Nigerians. I'm sure the defunct team BB wld agree with me. As for your using the catchphrase 'if well managed', I just have to wonder what an Mod is insinuating.

What do you think stands me out from other guys?

Errrrmm, u're g.ay?

Dangote Cement has crashed the ex-factory price of a 50-kg bag of the product from N1,500 to N1,350.

This is a further step taken by the company after the directive issued by President Goodluck Jonathan in May which forced cement stakeholders to work together to bring down the price of the commodity from about N2,500 to around N1,800 per 50kg bag,

According to the company, “Dangote Cement Plc. has announced a significant reduction in the ex-factory price of its product to N1,350 per bag.”

The company’s Executive Director, in charge of Sales and Marketing, Mr Ekanem Etim, briefing cement distributors at the weekend, said the reduction in its ex-factory price was in line with the company’s declared policy to make the product affordable to Nigerians as it expands its local capacity in the country.

Etim also informed the distributors at the meeting that the country would be self-sufficient in cement production, especially with the inauguration of Ibeshe plant of the company before the end of the year, with an installed capacity of six million metric tonnes of cement per annum. He used the opportunity to mention the price reduction at various depots in different parts of the country.

I understand its the 'factory price' but no doubt it wld significantly reduce the retail price to between 1,500-1,600. I'm sure this is happening because of Dangote's magnanimity and GEJ's directive had absolutely nothing to do with this, afterall his policies are supposed to make us all worse off abi?

*** Its a pity u didnt even notice I was trying to be nice to u! I only said your criticisms made u "APPEAR" naive and dimwitted, I easily could have been more direct and u wld have thoroughly deserved it. We all know Karen is no beauty queen but she didnt deserve the way u painted her. BTW, For someone that was relishing using uncomplementary adjectives to describe someone to be whining about an indirect reference, your hypocrisy stinks.
Anyway I already said sorry but if that isnt enough I*m sorry I cant help u.

*** Well I look to seeing him in govt, im actually a fan.

*** Well he just got appointed into the Editorial Board of Thisday so he"s got a whole load of responsibilities now but his views and inclinations are well documented. U cld try reading some of his earlier write ups.

Shiorrrr, Your chicken has come home to roost and ure crying wolf. Every silly gossip from SR no matter how ridiculous is guaranteed the homepage on your site and uve loved it cos cheap and ridiculous gossip draws traffic and u know it. Well, its your turn to have a taste and one wld expect u to take it like a man!

*** lol, this is a PUBLIC FORUM so if u do not xpect your "opinions" to be criticized you should keep them to yourself. So long as u"ve chosen to paste your opinion on a public board, then ure game! U dont have to sign an EULA to understand that do u?
Sorry if my comment got your wrong side but your criticisms were completely undeserved.

Anyone that has been reading El Rufai's articles ought not to be surprised at this. El Rufai has been propagating hatred and inciting violence with every opportunity he's got all in the name of being a social critic and its about time someone did something about it. It's pretty obvious that people like him that have fed fat off the back of govt can not stomach being sidelined and wld go to any length to make themselves relevant.

   [quote author=dem_people link=topic=703954.msg8633978#msg8633978 date=1309591207]So its not possible that there were speculations in the presidency about it in the first place? And what would your reaction be when Abati is appointed? Would u hang? Its possible that Niboro could continue or Abati could be appointed or even another person appointed. These are possibilities.

   And u expected them to confirm it? Wouldn't it be commonsense for them to deny it like they've done or keep silent?[/quote]In your first post u insinuated that Gej changed his mind over the appointment becos SR got wind of it and i only asked why Gej wld change his mind over an appointment simply becos SR got wind of it, abi no be so?
If there were speculations that might lead to an appointment, what then makes it expedient to deny it at this stage when in no time it wld be confirmed? Its either Gej wants him or he doesnt, If he wants him, then a report from SR or whoever wld make absolutely no difference.this stage when in no time it wld be confirmed?

tashanja:
^^^^^me too, been away due to work.

@SreenDiva, not so sure about this version where allegedly Zeus finds Karen attractive; I mean we all out here trying to support her n'all, but seriously have you looked at her face lately?
Let truth be told, the lady ain't fine at all - along with those disproportionate fake bosoms - the chick is simply Fugly.
In fact I can't even imagine how one could engage in intimate activity with this kind of person while still staring at that face; unless of course if completely drunk, in total darkness or with a bag over her head - well its true that, alcohol is freely available in the house and they just went through a (staged managed) power outage - so I guess anything is possible

Stop bad mouthing for the sake of it, it only makes u appear naive and half witted. Karen isnt nearly as ugly as u're painting her esp in a house with Mumba, Kim, Vimbai, Vina, Millicent and Peo. If i dressed up as a girl, i'd never feel intimadated by any of the aforementioned so give Karen a break.

^^^ You must be a he-goat to come up with a statement like that. Isnt it enough that Abati's person has been severely battered in 3 cyber pages over a nonsensical report from SR? Yet the best your kindergaten reasoning can come up with are more abuses even when the report has been Faulted. Nonsense

I've always wondered why supposedly disreputable news orgs like SR that have been 'caught in the Act' too many times that i've lost count, continue to thrive and unashamedly so. Each time i try to ignore the bitter truth but at times like this, its just too glaring to be ignored. Fact is these guys will continue to thrive and will continue to write what they like because they understand Nigerians and they know for a fact that we just like in every facet of our national life, NEVER LEARN! Or how else do you explain a report from SR already in the frontpage and trending and with a page gone, no one is yet to question SR's always reliable source!
Na so we go dey dey?

^^^ Sorry mate but you keep sounding like a badly broken record. Gej has got the mandate of the 'majority' of Nigerians and that mandate includes freedom to assemble a cabinet the way he deems fit, if you're not impressed by his choices, that's your cup of tea. Criticize his results or lack of them based on concrete facts not assumptions, reputation and your negative expectations. The names on the list may not be popular ones but I'm willing to give him the benefit of doubt and refuse to mark him as a failure because i'm not wowed by a ministeral list. Most of us were wowed by Obj's, 5yrs down the road see how well we think of him!lure because i'm not wowed by a ministeral list.

Andre Uweh:
I do not know why some groups are placed where they are not wanted and do no belong to. The idea of regional cooperation is laudable in the south south. However, Anioma in Delta state and Upland Rivers state should look to the south east for regional cooperation.

When the South East find their feet and learn how to start crawling, Igbo's in Delta and Rivers wont mind joining them but right now we r with a team prepared to run and we wont be bogged down by ethnic affiliations. Enough of the dancing in circles.

^^^ Here's what I think,
The eviction/nomination are sacrosanct so somehow there has to be one, so Biggie might use this opportunity to get back at troublesome housemates and those that have defied him openly maybe just to appease those that think he's been too lenient, so those likely to be up wld be; Luclay, Karen, Alex and Mumba. Just a thot sha, at least thats what I'd do if I were Biggie except that I'lld be risking killing the show if Luclay n Karen get evicted as well as turning the girls into Lesbos if both guys get evicted. Like I said, Just a thot sha.

^^^ He's a realist and we need him more than we need Iweala.

The CBN governor can only be removed before the end of his tenure by the President acting on a majority supported motion from the Senate on grounds of misconduct or infirmity of mind - if i recall correctly.

Hmmm, was watching the Big brother highlights show today and guess which one they chose to show again? U guessed right, it was a repeat of yesterdays shameless anti-Karen propaganda! Someone said they prolly made a mistake but i just laughed. If this were say NTA, or AIT (Hallmarks of broadcasting incompetence) then i might have agreed but it wasnt. This is biggie's propaganda machine at work. When Lerato got struck last time, there was an outcry from women activists in SA forcing bb to expel the offender and i think bb learnt his lesson and chose to go on the offensive this time. And what better way to do so than to portray Karen as the agressor to her home audience? Clever i'd say. Just a thot sha, i'm actually over the incident - well, sort of!

@Akainzo,

So what makes u think those 'standards and values' can only be set by the presidency? What if the senate and other institutions start doing something too and you and I start picking on other institution that are supposed to reinforce the executive instead of throwing cheap shots at the presidency?

BTW, I do not understand how a SR article qualifies anyone to be called a crook cos like i said, a number of d nominees have question marks on them and i do not need a SR special to realize that but what matters is whether or not their question mark exceeds a certain threshold. Haliru's nomination may not be best, but it might be expedient politically or otherwise.

My nephew in primary 3 wld comprehend my two paragraphed statement above better than you. Bearded agbaya.

ScreenDiva:
Those of you calling for justice, becareful because if you watched the highlights on Channel 114 (AfricaMagic) yesterday night and saw the way they carefully packaged the whole scenario to show us viewers that Karen invited whatever she got,
[/b][/i]'

I was left aghast at the highlights shown yesterday! The whole show was a complete mockery of Karen and one wld have to be extra patriotic not to feel Karen got what she was asking for based on those highlights. Biggie's (or whoever) hypocrisy just stank to the high heavens, he forgot it never is about the provocation but the response just as it was during Lotus' fight with Luclay. Even though Luclay was provocative to the point of earning a slap, Lotus had to be disqualified cos she crossed the line but now Biggie wants his viewers to accept Luclay's action simply because Karen acted provocatively, what nonsense! Anyway, now we know what we r up against - biggie himsel so brace yourselves!
I was also mighty impressed by Mumba, even when she was told to get lost by Karen remained persistent until she doused the flames, not even the hipopotamus HOH could do anything but watch all thru. My hand go touch them one by one.

All the nominees are to be SCREENED by both the SSS and Senate before they become ministers. There's a reason they have to be SCREENED and there's a reason SCREENING is mandatory And that's because the President sometimes has to make nominations based on recommendations therefor these bodies have to do the background checks in the interest of the nation.
There r no saints in govt and Gej wld be a foool to be seeking to assemble a cabinet of saints. Even those nominees we seem to be down with today, the Iweala's, Ezekwesili's and Soludo's still have different levels of question marks hanging around their heads from their previous govt engagements but most importantly there's a threshold that one wld have to surpass to be considered unfit for public office and apart from the little matter of being CONVICTED for a felony, the SSS and the Senate wld have to do their jobs afterall thats what they r paid to do. If the nominee scales these hurdles when u're sure of his unfitness for office, then the names u should be shouting should be those of the SSS director and David Marks.

[color=#000099]Well, AS A NIGERIAN FEMALE, I didn't justify what Luclay did. Read my post again. All I said was KAREN asked for it ---YES--SHE DID! SHE DID! SHE DID! So, therefore she needs to calm the 4uck down. Go to the bigbrother website and watch the clips again. KAREN didn't DESERVE what she got, but She did ASK for it--And it was given to her on a platter of gold. Let's be real here abeg. I LOVE KAREN too. She's my babe. But still, call a spade a spade.  The babe should cool down.
[quote][/quote]Well, u do know yr mouth wld serve its purpose better if u spoke only from one side and may i suggest u speak thru its front? U cant xpect to be coherent when u r speaking from both sides of yr mouth. You cant say Karen didnt DESERVE what she got when u maintain that that was exactly what she asked for. If she asked for it then she deserved the end product and nothing less. So pls dont try to wriggle out of yr words cos if yr argument is to be logical,thats exactly what u imply except perhaps ITS NOT!

"So sweetheart, use another analogy"

What if I say u r arguing like a demented B.ITch? wld u be willing to overlook it afterall u "Asked for it"  by arguing with someone u cldnt predict even though u didnt DESERVE the resultant name calling? or did u xpect me to maintain a certain degree of decorum at this stage of an argument? Just asking.

[quote author=BABE! link=topic=654205.msg8575175#msg8575175 date=1308831069]^^ Then KAREN must be on drugs---- (I knew she was on drugs--lol) --- If you don't want sh1t, DON'T START SH1T--STAY D 4UCK AWAY FROM SH1T. Roger that.

Karen is my babe and all but--- I have to be real here--- she got what she asked for. She knew/knows luclay is not stable so why look for his trouble and play victim? Abeg jo--- She should go and sit down and get her SH1t together.

I even thought she gonna go home sef, I already gave up on her---hehehehe---thank God she's still here.

KAREN FOR THE MONEY!!!!! [/quote]^^^U know what? I can understand a South African trying to justify what Luclay did ( they've got to support their own), i can understand a guy doing so (well some of us do not know where to draw the line) and i can understand a foreigner doing same (ok lets have a good laugh at the misery of a strong Nigerian contestant) but I cant seem to understand a Nigerian(?) female doing so. How can u give such a flimsy excuse as 'She was asking for it' to justify such a despicable act?

   Lets say u got into a fight with a guy in your office and u were so hotheaded that u gave him a dirty slap, well as a guy with his pride to protect, he returns the favour not with a slap but with punches and uppercuts like he was in a street fight with Mike Tyson leaving u battered. So wld u justify the guys action this time by saying; I was asking for it? A yes from u wldnt suprise me one bit but wld rather justify your warped sense of reasoning but shame on u if you say no cos that's exactly what Luclay did. Luclay's action was disturbing and demeaning and should not be excused by anyone thinking correctly.

THE AMAKA:
moving on 

Me too!

^^^ Do you have a problem with understanding English? I said 'his pride and PERHAPS the intrusion of Weza'. Synonyms of Perhaps include maybe and possibly but most importantly, i said he didnt do it becos of his Pride. If you'd watched the scene u wld av noticed Luclay was all quiet and sober until Weza walked in to change her clothes (where she dey go?) knowing fully well that Karen and Luclay were having a private conversation. The minute Weza walked in, Luclay started acting defiant such that after he left even Karen turned to Weza and said;
'he only started talking this way as soon as u entered, he had been so quiet b4 u before now I swear!'.
So what r u talking about Oga?
