@Abu: I do not have details of our proposed space program. You mentioned $20M. I suspect we both know it costs about that to get a ride on a Russian rocket. $10M is not a lot of money if one is considering any kind of space program.
That one is not personally consulted in the planning of a government programme does not make it fraudulent or the idea misplaced.
As I have said before, in funding programmes of this nature, there will always be alternative uses for the money. This is not enough to invalidate it.
This does not deprive you of your opinion.
I don't think there is anything more to add to this discussion.

@Egunj: Its not only an issue of misplaced priorities that I’m talking about. Its also the issue of our govt weighing success on how much money was thrown into a project rather than what the project was able to achieve or what impact the project has had on us. When you read the headlines you see “N5 BILLION SPENT ON ROADS IN SO & SO STATE”, “N750 MILLION SPENT IN RENOVATING UNIBLAH’S LIBRARY”, “N1.8 BILLION FOR NEW SPACE PROGRAMME”. But the road project might only be a few kilometres of road leading to the Governor’s village, the library might have only gotten outdated books worth N1 million, the space programme might be an excuse for some big-wigs to visit Kennedy Space Centre to “observe” NASA operations.
We don’t need to be personally consulted to see the viability of a programme, be it aerospace, nuclear, agricultural or civil. If the money they plan to spend is not enough to do something viable then why spend it? We know $10M can’t do anything substantial so we shouldn’t be saying they are making an achievement at bargain prices. That automatically invalidates the project.
And that is about that on my opinion. I appreciate yours.
@all: still need help with my yahoo, hotmail dilemma. Since I can access it through my phone, the problem cant be from the gprs ISP. It has to be my explorer but i switched of firewalls, added yahoo as a trusted site, etc. PNF GURUS!!!! WHERE ARE YOU!!!!!

accumulation of reserves is not economic prosperity, what's the essence of accumulation money yet you're in need. Why cant they take a chunk of the reserve into power and force improvement in that regard. The challenge of power in the country is enough to keep the president busy for 4years, but the goverment keep boasting of accumulation reserves which we all did not come to be by its frugality but by unimaginable oil price increase in the international market.

@easyd: no vex! It must’ve been during on of my gprs blackouts!! All the best!!!!
@mikk: the problem this govt has is it doesn't focus on a single problem. I know corruption has made every problem like the Hydra snake, but if we keep whacking at one it will eventually go away. See how Cuba got its literacy rate to near 100%. For a few years all tertiary schools were closed and all tertiary lecturers and undergrads taught in primary schools. A few years of schooling lost (we’ve lost more due to strikes) but see the benefit. If we focus on the railways, or on healthcare or our refineries we’d be in a better place. But with this scatter scatter govt that has gone in so many directions and at the end of the day doesn’t have any credible achievement it can claim to have brought forward from any of its policies after 7 yrs. (pls no one make mention about GSM, debt alleviation or fight against corruption unless you’re ready to debate it out for a few days). Lets hope the windfall money isn’t spent solely on election chwachwa and the next govt gets to put it to good use.
@deji: you said it!!! This oil fluke is now going to be one of the administrations “achievements”.
@all: since no one seems to be up to the task of solving my yahoo/hotmail problem.(tsk tsk, shame on PNF gurus!!!) I’ll check it up on one of the other esato forums.

@ALL... Please stop Egunje cos he is going in the wrong direction. No offence intended. We don't need any space programme.

Very easy, as long as you are willing to part with as much as N2000 per browsing session. GPRS browsing via pc can be very expensive, we did it here when MTN was free, and those of us that have vmobile are still using it for pc connection.
@Abu: I'm still very much around, u should know that PNF is my campaign HQ. I'm not too good with computers and internet security issues, I bet Aya will be in a better position to help u. Visit him at
www.domainstandard.net
@Easy: Abeg no vex o, I guess it was an oversight. But sorry, no free browsing for u, so u better accept the apologies.
@Angel: That problem definitely is a network issue. You may want to report this to Vmobile CC.
You know, I have always wondered to myself the essence of building up foreign reserves when u are deep in debt. Its like keeping millions in ur savings account and receiving 6%p.a then borrowing at 19%. I didn't go to havard, but that just does not make good business sense.
