Kids! Kids!! Kids!!!


Ezeuche please post your email address for Ileke, haba. Or ask DK to get you connected with her. And solve your problems privately.

Giver her what she wants and let the rest of us rest.

Enough of all these immature grandstanding on NL

There is a big difference, besides, can you articulate how he only served Western interests while he was Finance Minister? And no beer parlour gists or 'my uncle and fada said' gists.

Sometimes, some of you just use emotions while debating instead of using logic and due process.

Henry was asking a rhetorical question.

exposing the loophole in your assertion that Awolowo was representing "his people."

Henry's point is that Awolowo cant be argued to be representing his people when it is on record he volunteered to serve as Nigeria's Finance minister

So much for your intellectual superiority and infallibility

Wey Desola to give five gbosas to her hero.;

ROFLMAO

Chyz and Henry, be gentle with her!

Blame aunty flo.


He doesnt get sarcasm, i have come to realize.

One track mind!

henry101:
So He was ambitious to be the President of Nigeria abi?
And He was Gowon's VP and minister of Finance to serve only to the West of Nigeria?

New things everyday,

Dont mind all these fly-by-night historians

Historians without pedigree

Historians on things they know very little about.

best to ignore them to their hallucinations.

alj_harem:
on point

Who is Awolowo representing?


On pointing things without thinking, polymathic indeed!

Seanet1000:
Loot, Donate and Ye shall be covered by da blood of Jesus from Prosecution.

Why capitalize "donate?"

And also, you don't get covered from prosecution, you get sheltered from prosecution.

For a supposed graduate of UI, you are a disgrace to your university and to all your English teachers. No wonder Nigerian graduates are unemployable.

Seanet1000:
You dey mind this one? Na bad belle dey do him, the very day Katsumoto tore him to shreds na that day he start bad belle, he be spoilt brat.

You just dey look for my attention sha

Anyway, give me three months, na me and you full time.

if you have yawa with katsumoto you better settle it with him but right now, I am seeing him as a hero, kajiko? Pshew!

Moreover, when have I ever sang the praise of the said person? It seems you're getting your wires twisted somewhere.

Of course, you dont have to complain. Our elders say, "Ti omode ba gegi loko, agba lomo ibi to ma wo si."

I already know how it will end. i am just fulfilling my duty as the elder emeritus of NL, making sure naive young girls like you dont fall prey to online predators.

Half oro is enough for omoluabi, that is the omoluabi with a brain. That said, it is your life, thats probably how you get through life; hero-worshiping h/o/r/n/y people old enough to be your father who would eventually exploit you to their hearts satisfaction, leaving you heart broken and scorned.

Go ahead. Aja to ba ma sonu.     .     .

Desola:
Like thunderbolt, the information enshrined in this thread hit me like WOAH!

If you are ever looking for the meaning of enlightenment, then I suggest you read this thread. Lies can go on for years but it takes only one day for the truth to trump it. For years, i've listened to ibos harp on about the Yoruba betrayal without really carrying out an in depth search into the true story and now, oh now, I know so much more.

I thought I respected Awolowo before, but now, I could almost idolize him. He makes me feel so proud to be Yoruba and displayed in those transcripts what I have always known about Yorubas. We are indeed a unique race full to be brim with intelligence. It is a shame that he is no longer with us. I weep for the day my nation joined Nigeria but I thank him for his foresight and uprightness. I have hope now that Yoruba would rise from this either within or without Nigeria, we will be great again.

Thank you so much Jason, I feel indebted to you for publicising these vital information in the history of the sham called Nigeria. I also would like to thank Katsumoto and T9ksy, they always maintained that Ojukwu wanted to rule us but I didn't quite understand it then but now I know that Awolowo was and still is an upright man, a very special man to people of our race.

You've started again, katsumoto this, katsumoto that, as if Katsumoto was with Awolowo when Awolowo was defending the descendants of Oduduwa. You must either be in your late teens or early twenties, still very impressionable.

Hopefully, men dont exploit your naivete. Just be careful how you hero-worship people on an anonymous website like this, so you dont get caught hero-worshiping a future Anthony Weiner.

I am afraid you dont get my point.

"STD" is very rampant in Nigeria, at every stage of our educational process as a matter of fact. The only time I can say I did not encounter "STD" and  its variants was during G2 and Primary school FGC exams.

In the US, test taking/term papers is taken seriously. If you are caught, you WILL be punished for it.  Every college student at reputable colleges is made to sign honor codes at the beginning of every semester and before each exam. It is human nature to try to cheat or bend rules, but when there are no consequences, as with Nigeria, then it becomes an epidemic, which is not the case in the west.

My point: In Nigeria it is an epidemic. In the US, it is not. If a US college tells you that someone is capable, believe me, he/she is capable. The reverse, as we all know, is the case with Nigeria.

True, examination dishonesty goes on in the US, ghostwriters and what not, but the people using these ghost writers are actually not asking them to write their term papers from scratch, they just pay people to fine-tune it for them. In a way, to make it better/ "A" worthy. Trust me, term papers arent generic stuffs, anyone can write like that. A typical college student writes on average three term papers per term, depending on major, now multiply that by 8 and tell me where a typical student would get that kind of money from. Thats assuming, conservatively, $100 per page per paper.

Of course, there are people who can afford that, but I make bold to say that the average college student cannot afford to spend that much.

The only form of cheating that I can say is very rampant in the US is the use of brain stimulants. Well, whether using brain stimulants is cheating or not is a different topic for another day.

Ajanlekoko ( Baby-Katz VI), lucky you, it is your day.

Are you comparing Nigeria's "STD" situation with a one-off incident in the US?

naijababe:
A wide range of options was made available to the students.

Hey, baby-Katz V, this is not the right answer to the poster's question.

You need to break it down for the poster why was, and not were, is the correct verb in this context.

The poster is confused because he/she isnt sure as to which verb to go along with "A wide range" Vs. Options"

Anyway, please make it a lil bit clearer for us not so privileged illiterates and "ara okos"

naijababe:
A wide range of options was made available to the students.

Dr Emeka is an expert in computer science

Effective / Efficacious / effectual - no difference here. Both are used when describing something that does what it should

Efficient - close in meaning to the above but used when one wants to attach a range to the meaning of any of the above words

hmmmmmm, awon ti avant garde ni yen

When I grow up, I just wanna be like you.

Dr. Professor Ola Olabiyi [b]Flaws or floors [/b]Katzumoto on the "Sanusi: Brilliant, Over-hyped or Mediocre" thread.

Which one is the correct verb to use in the statement above?





[size=3pt]BTW, did you actually make A1 in English? NECO or WAEC? I actually made A2 in NECO English, but WAEC did not work out as great as NECO, for obvious reasons[/size]

Tunmi:
You can search "bimbo akintola" on YouTube to find her old movies. I know she has, or is supposed to have, a new movie out called 90Ninth Day with Bassey Ekpeyong (sp). The two of them were in some other movie about domestic abuse, relatively recent.

I miss her as well but I know that when she comes out with something, it will be good. She's one of the reasons I miss Naija. What I wouldn't give to interview her.

Nicely done!

How is life going?

Hehe. No wonder Nigeria is in the bad state it is. A thorough love and celebration of mediocrity.

Interesting! Coming from someone who thinks Tinubu is God.

Anyway, no biggie.

In Musiwa I trust.

manny4life:
lol, this is the funniest joke of the day


I majored in business? Howard University? Please brother there are better schools here in the DC VA area, better than Howard, since you are in the guessing game, please come up with a better school choice and perhaps a better major.  

[b]ROFLMAO[/b]

I am officially taking you out of the baby-Katz group. I expected a real baby-Katz to get mad, like Katz would, and reveal more about yourself, but you did the opposite.

You seem to have a mature defense mechanism ( humor is one of the mature defense mechanisms found among emotionally healthy adults), atypical of Katz and baby-katzs

freepeople:
A simple question was directed at you in different forms. The question is 'give us an example of any central bank that engages in commercial venture'. You could not come up with any satisfactory response.

In case you did not go through the link you posted; read the reply by Sharp man.

Your pattern of arguement is to selectively pick some points to respond to; then ignore the rest. Your rigmaroling is quite irritating. I think your are getting more respect than you actually deserve. I can't believe you can be so dumb.

By the way, are you trying to intimidate us to silence by referring to us as 'baby-katz'?

I'm dumbfounded by the fact that you can't differentiate between 'revenues' and 'income'.
You also baffled me by posting a link to Oxford dictionary to back up your arguement in an intellectual discussion.

Folks, It's  better we ignore Mr Ola Olabiy. My preliminary assessment of him shows that economics and finance is above his league. Some of his response are laughable. His lacks of in-depth knowledge on the topic of note explains his heavy reliance on google search engine to answer questions posed to him. [/b]His level of knowledge in this field is quite limited and unimpressive; he's only making it up with an adept use of English grammar.

Well, apart from manny4life who majored in Business at Howard, an HBCU with average SAT of 850 on the old SAT, no one here knows finance and economics that well, at least , not the OP and non of the other [b]baby-katz(s) ( Thanks Ola Olabiyi ), to my knowledge, majored in economics/finance/accounting/business in college.

That having been said, Ola olabiyi has shown superior knowledge WRT the topic than any of the other baby-katz. He performed exceptionally well taking on Baby-Katz I (Ekt-Bear), schooled Baby-Katz II ( manny), thoroughly embarrassed baby - Katz III (Dr. Naijaking) and humbled baby-katz IV, OAM4J, who also doubles as the OP's live-in partner.

More than that, brilliance isnt about always having the answer to things at your finger tips, because no one does. The most brilliant amongst us is he who knows how to find the answer. Think about it.

I really dont see the big deal here. There is nothing gestapo-ish about this. The problem we have in Nigeria is that ordinary citizens, including supposedly educated illiterates like Oyb and El-Rufai, do not understand the real meaning of democracy. They assume you can say whatever and do whatever and get a way with whatever. NO! I have news for you, it aint so. The US, UK and other advanced countries are the most policed states in the world, utilizing the power of the Police and other non-uniformed security agencies ( FBI, MI-6 and even Google, IP addresses and Face-book) to closely monitor their citizens so as to prevent unnecessary break-down of Law and order. El-Rufai's intent is very clear, to make the state un-governable for GEJ. And it would be stupiddddddd of GEJ and the SSS to allow him roam the plains of Nigeria freely. They've done what is right and I am glad they acted fast this time around, before we start losing lives like we always do in situations like this.

His article is ridden with inflammatory words, with the intent to incite and cause public chaos.

Any government worth its salt would do whatever is necessary to keep him quiet. Next time, he would be more careful with what he writes. Now he knows there is a new Sheriff in town, and the Sheriff isnt going to be tolerate any nonsense from him and his ilk.

They are not happy with the election result? Let them go to court, quietly and jejely. Their dissatisfaction with the election result is no excuse for them to heat up the polity. If push comes to shove, they will be the first to elope via BA, leaving innocent people to die unsung. We cant afford this 'kain' behavior from our 'elites' any longer. The memory of his unpatriotic behavior during the SNG group is still very fresh in our mind; after all, he was the brain behind the group that created a larger than life image of Turai, causing the public to have negative impression of Turai, when in reality, Turai, like the rest of us, is just a victim of a failed and bastardized system.

This is democracy guys. Freedom isnt free; it requires each and every one of us to exercise restraints in how we talk and act in public. Do NOT rock the boat. If you do,you will be held accountable.

Yes, I know, because you, like SEFAGO and Hermon Raju ( The well-educated girl), know the meaning of schadenfreude [size=5pt]For the not so well educated, see the post above this for meaning.[/size]

Call me shallow all you want, and yes, I am shallow. Thats how I know whether or not someone is "well-ejaculated" well educated, if you know the meaning of ˈʃɑdnˌfrɔɪdə, and never back down from any argument.

If i attend the likes of Cambridge, Harvard and Oxford, I reserve the right to boast openly about it!. . There's a good reason why such schools don't admit students in droves-----so that the few who manage to pass through could strutter about with their shoulders hung high!!!

With that response,I welcome you to the club of the uber entitled, but well educated snobs.

SEFAGO:
The retail arm of BNP Paribas is mostly in Europe. I dont think there is any in North America. Moreover she is an MBA student at a really good business school so she would not be doing retail. Its so sad that you guys are just using this opportunity to denigrate the poor girl.

While in general I am pretty cool headed off-line (I never get angry at people in general), I am also aware that people do get angry and have bad days. It could have been you or anyone, flipping out about something and then be filmed. Moreover all we got was a one-sided story of what happened. She could have been having a bad day or be affected by PMS.

In general its not good to judge people without understanding their situation. Or of course it could just be a curious case of suffering from the disease of arrogantis egotica¹  . Personally I think both I and that Desi Chick would get along pretty well.

Footnote:
Arrogantis Egotica: A disease that generally affects rich and entitled people who feel the need to remind people how educated they are. i.e Desi Girl Shouting on the train "Do you think I am a hoodlum? Do you know what schools I attended."

Dont mind them jare.

They think they can just come here and lash out, with their 'not-so-well-educated mouth/keyboard,' at this young, hot, incredibly sexy, urbane, uber entitled ABCD girl/bum and not expect obviously humble, well adjusted and "well-educated" people like you to come to her defense.


And yes, between this girl and Tpiah/Kobojunkie, I'd pick her.

If you think she is too petulant and puerile,  I'd ask you to put yourself in her shoes and to bracket for just a few seconds your scepticism about her right to be snobbish.

The point is that she hasnt said anything beyond the obvious that she is "well-educated," which she is really. And I am sure you'd agree with that. I dont think it is childish and unnecessarily unreasonable to present yourself the way she did. At least, not more so than putting "Asiwaju" or 'Oba Alaiyeluwa' or 'His/Her Royal Highness' or 'President' before your name . Or even calling yourself 'naijababe.' Naija and babe (an attractive young woman). That you are 'more attractive' than the rest of us?

Someone else may interprete it as you trying to tell us that you are more talented (Urban dic ) than the rest us. More talented = well educated.

Which means, you, NB are doing the same thing as Hermon Raju.

And if NB = Hermon Raju, and Hermon raju = Petulant and Puerile

May we then say that NB =


How ever you look at it, you are defined by one thing or the other, including how 'well-educated' you are.

But beyond that, there is a point here that she was trying to pass across. She was accused of using profanities on the train, in the public; meaning, she was acting, in a way, uneducated, rude and 'un-cultured.' Her point, I guess, is she is too 'well-educated' to behave in such ways. Which I think isnt unreasonable reply.
