You are just as dumb as Jonathan, all Buhari needs is to do the OPEC politics, get the chairmanship position and withdraw 2.5mbbls from the market.
oil will definitely stabilise.

Some times I feel like hitting the report post button and just report some comments for being too stupid on a global scale.
Thanks to our academic systems of over 20+ years of rot.
People just disgrace us on the internet. Can't imagine how I would face my colleagues on IRC if they read this. My pay might actually be reduced for being from the same country as some people.

U.S. considers surveillance to help Nigeria find girls: U.S. official

By Lesley Wroughton

WASHINGTON Thu May 8, 2014 4:51pm EDT

(Reuters) - The United States is considering a request by Nigeria to provide surveillance aircraft and intelligence to find more than 200 schoolgirls abducted by Islamist militants, a senior U.S. official told Reuters on Thursday.

"The Nigerians have asked for assistance in that area and we are considering it," Linda Thomas-Greenfield, U.S. assistant-secretary of State for African Affairs, said in an interview.

U.S. military, law-enforcement and development experts, including some skilled in hostage negotiations, started arriving in Nigeria on Thursday to help search for the missing girls and tackle the rising threat from Boko Haram. France, Britain and China have also offered help.

Thomas-Greenfield said the United States has worked with Nigeria since September on improving the African country's ability to fight Boko Haram following a request by Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan to President Barack Obama.

Obama has vowed to" do to everything we can" to help find the girls, whose April 14 abduction from a secondary school triggered international outrage.

A social media campaign, using the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls, has focused on the Nigerian government's response to the kidnappings and on Boko Haram's other attacks and kidnappings, which have terrorized local communities.

While Nigeria has sought help from the United States, the government had often been reluctant to take the advice, according to U.S. officials. Cooperation has also been complicated by international concerns about human rights abuses by Nigerian security forces in the northeast.

Human rights groups have highlighted illegal detentions, torture and deaths of prisoners at Giwa Barracks where the Nigerian military has imprisoned young men accused of being Boko Haram members in the past several years. Many prisoners held were bystanders rounded up in mass sweeps, rights groups say.

Thomas-Greenfield said Jonathan has been "very, very receptive" to the latest offer for U.S. assistance and assigned his national security adviser to work with the U.S. teams.

"I caution that we can't make this our own problem because Nigerians have to be front and center, we can't lead it and we can't fix it."

Speaking at the World Economic Forum being hosted in the Nigerian capital Abuja, Jonathan pledged to find the girls and thanked foreign nations for their support.

Thomas-Greenfield said Boko Haram was not just a security issue but also a development challenge faced by the Nigerian government in one of the poorest areas of the country.

"Boko Haram has been able to use the lack of development, the disaffection with the government, to entice young people to come into their fold," she said. "It is a double-edged sword that needs to be not only sharpened but also blunted."

She said problems with Boko Haram, which also operates out of neighboring Cameroon, had also highlighted the need to develop a regional strategy to fight increased Islamic militancy in parts of sub-Saharan Africa.

So it turns out there was an official request from the Nigerian Government to the Department of state

AND AS SOME MAY KNOW. A MUTUAL FRIEND AND I ALWAYS SAY "NO SOURCE, NO STORY" SO
HERE'S THE SOURCE: http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/05/08/us-nigeria-girls-usa-idUSBREA470YY20140508

This guy's experience is exactly what I have been facing since I switched to spectranet. These guys are really Frauds. I thought I was going crazy when you tell them at their office they are quick to point you to the fact that they are very fast hence your data gets used up quickly. But it's all a properly rehearsed lie they all tell. If you then draw their attention to the fact that you should only be charged for the data you request regardless of the speed, they have no defence but to push the speed issue. and the freaking thing is not all that fast in my neighborhood. I had mobitel working much much faster and I used much less data for longer with Mobitel. SPECTRANET SHOULD BE SHUTDOWN BY THE NCC. Mayber we should be talking class action suits at this time. I don't mind joining one.

Unfortunately Nigerians are so slow, They's been so oppressed to the extent that they are forever slaves.
The lawmakers pay issue alone is enough to cause a protest.
But alas we are all looking.
Empty and spent.
God deliver our children from slavery

If you read these news letters, you'l understand what the ladies are talking about better.
It's something about the woman's psych.
It'll do you alot of good and don't forget to so say thank you when you get the idea and also tell other guys.

I'm also sure if the ladies read it. They'll agree 100% or at least 90% that's how things work.

Ujujoan:

I once went on a date (for the first time) with this guy and minutes after he dropped me off he sent me a txt saying . . . 'my heartthrob, my angel, my bla bla bla'. I just never picked his call again after that. I mean what is that

I hate guys that act all cuddly and loving when you barely even know them. You meet a guy for the first time and the next minute he's calling you 'baby' . . .

You think you are being 'nice' but what u are is 'suffocating'!

She nailed it in the head, take it or leave it

No heart feelings bro, we are on same sides on the issue.

This is a total waste of time,

@bibiking1, Jarus, etc
Shuo, every body has thier mouth abeg, weting consine agbero with overload. if you like write mutivational speech untop Turaya, na your mouth.

Mr Jarus, if we all blow grammar like this, then the people of Nigeria we are talking to will be lost and by the time you finish all they will do is say haaaaay the man go school, Communication, Communication Communication.
The Story was too long, and not really saying much and I got tired of reading.
Hence my expression. Which by the way I have every right to.
Thanks Jarus or whatever you call yourself.

And by the way, if he/she understands leadership, Uncle Joe is not " having epileptic fits " or feet or whatever he/she was trying to say. He's behaved excellently.

@fellow posters

Unless something gives, I have my fears for this country. For how long shall we continue like this.Our
country is now in the hands of unelected persons- Turai ,PDP and the FEC. Our Vice president, duly elected
on a joint ticket with Yar'adua seems to be having epileptic fits as he has not shown much savvy for the
power game. In effect, there is no difference between our democracy and what obtains in Libya and some
middle easter countries. Some people have hijacked this country and our other arms of government - security
legislature and judiciary is watching helplessly.

Unfortunately, the press is only after sensation, where are their investigative skills? The press is not only for
adverts and page three girls. This is the time to give us value for money. Or have the brown envelopes gone
round already?I have not seen any resourcefulness in this direction.

Since everything is left to conjecture, can we honestly believe that our president is indeed in this country? So
there is no other official that had a peek, or passing glance through the doorway, of our president on his sickbed
in Aso Rock? Or is he embedded and attached to a battery of gadgets inside the ambulance? It is even more distressing,
or the mother of all insults if the woman that suckled this fellow is not given access to him? At least , apart from
Almighty God, she is the only one owns him, with a better claim than Turai or anyone else.

My countrymen, you  see my dilemma? Why can't we do something good for a change? For our elders who have enjoyed
this country more and longer that everybody, this is payback time. If speaking up will be the only thing you can do, please do so,
we shall forgive all past misdemeanors for the sake of posterity. For civil society, we must rise up and demand action.

Our docility has already revved up the whirlwind, it is left to us to wake up and do something. If you expect these mandarins
in Abuja and state capitals to make a move, you will not see anything. This impasse came about because of their internal scramble
and they are positioning and strategising for  against any eventuality- post Yar'adua  and this stalemate has stunned them.

Me too, I am stunned. This ship has captain on board, and no lifeboat either.

Ahhhh Iban ti poju, jo jo

I'm sure users will make wise descisions and will have preferences, they just have to see which one of these sites solves their problems better, nice site though good work, Flegz.com is still a better and safer choice.

proudly9ja:

I agree totally with you that in an ideal society, that is what banks should do, support SMEs and elp build the economy. Infact I have argued this too with friends who work in banks for years too however, Naija is not an ideal society, not yet. Imagine if you were CEO of a bank and Dangote asks for 1billion Naira against say, 1000 SMEs asking for 1million each, be honest, who would you rather loan. At least you are sure that if Dangote doesn't pay back on time, he will at least service his loans. The same cannot be said of the SMEs as Im sure of the 1000, over 800 may eventually be termed as bad debts. Remember, these banks are private biz, they are not charities!

One can't blame the SMEs though. A lot of things mitigate against SMEs in Naija. Power is no 1 and therefore, its always harder for them to pay back loans or even service them.

I think Obj started a move some years back even though I don't know how it turned out. He made banks contribute to a fund which was to be loaned out to SMEs, how did it turn out?

In support of the bankers, for every branch opened, they hire at least 4 new graduates. The past few years saw loads of people getting jobs in banks. If we begin to undermine their effort now, what do you think will happen?

Sums up the real challenge facing Nigeria which if our supreme leaders and their attack dogs in the central bank and EFCC were thinking, should consider more seriously in addressing our economic woes, But then do they really want to fix problems ?

If the Gov. whos claiming to want to operate under the rule of law wants to fix problems then there are serious questions about their aproach,

1. Is it fair to disgrace some now and call some to "Aso Rock for discussions" ?
2. This whole EFCC harrasment smells of a conspiracy it reeks of a Northern Agenda.
3. Why not go after those reponsible for collecting contracts in power sector without execution ? ( at least if there was power, some credible SMEs will thrive and be able to collect loans and pay back and the excuse of a dead SME sector will be minimized)

It reeks of a nothern Agenda, period!!!

Haba, put picture naw,
Make them ladies do some measurement,
Abi una babe no feel me ?

I'd like an Intelligently arranged marriage.
Where the guy and the girl are out together and not told anything, but little little isinuations are made to them suggesting they should go after each other.
Telling a guy/girl this is the person I want you to get married to is just plain dictatorship and simply out of vogue.

Even we as youngstars matchmake, but we don't force it, we just suggest it to our friends, cousines, etc.
Abi una no feel me.

But then love come with another game play entirely.

I tried calling Meg witman on ebay when my account was suspended.
The true owner of the mail box responded with a very programmed response.

I never tried going there again.
I would recomend shopping on flegz.com though
If you don't find what you want there, you can request it.

Cheers.

Take ten books at random on flegz.com compare the price with what you have on Amazon.com using a 150naira to a USD exchange rate. You'll find we are cheaper 80% of the time.
The few times we are desame price or slightly higher is when you compare our hard cover books to their paper cover versions. That's aside any shipping cost you'll incure buying from Amazon.
Flegz.com ships for free on the other hand.

I think flegz.com is fair in pricing however you look at it.

We'll welcome lower priced suppliers though, hence the asking.

@reindeer
You seem to know me.
Please remind me know who you are.

Interesting.
You want to supply flegz.com some these titles ?

The prices are well thought through.
And i belive you will find it cheaper to shop at flegz.com
Just keep looking out for the details of what you are buying.
And thanks for your contributions too.

Thanks in advance.

liftedone:

Good and welcome concept and I'll patronise you any day if your prices are competitive but they are not IMO. Case in point: Andrew Murray on Prayer I bought it for N600 in my local bookstore. Ur price is N1450. Michelle Mckinney Hammond's Ending the Search for Mr Right, N880, ur price is about N1200 if I'm not mistaken. The art of War and some others, I don't even want to tell you how cheap they are. Maybe you need to get a cheaper supplier. Or does being an online shop make things more expensive?

Where is this local book store ?
What's the name of the company and where are they ?
It'll help to know.

That's besides the fact that our price for Ending the Search for Mr Right is actually NGN 1,050 NOT 1,200
please quate accurately, we take these things seriously.

Then there's the issue of you finding an old delisted edition for a lower price because people now buy the new editions.
Paper back versus Hard cover.
You really need to check properly the quality of what you are getting before yu start screaming price murder.

I will say this again, Your local store will not give the quality of service Flegz.com is rendering for that price.
We sell authentic books not pirated prints.
Pricing at flegz.com is very fair and I'm sure when you try us out even you will attest to it.

And we'll continue to find ways to make things better for us and our customers.

@azeezbaba
T@meD0 made a point but as you can see.
There are clear distinctions;

From google's
Colour shades, Font types, Brand names, and the intertwined rings are not like google.

From Ebay
The Colour Shades, Font Types, Brand names, and Intertwined rings are not like ebay's

From Microsoft
Microsoft has four not intertwined, and the colourshades are different.

From a whole lot of web companies and non tech companies. there are visible discrepancies.

If you noticed if these three companies have not killed each other over colours and rings.

Besides that their logos ad avatars did and are still evolving. and we do hope ours will for the better.

Besides we hope to get to Abuja next.
Cheers.
