There is no moral in the literal sense of what to do and what not to do. But I believe the story shows that corruption is highly convoluted and there are folks that ask for bribe from a moral entitlement stand point. Thanks for coming by.

Just like it is done in the west Sat, 7 Feb 2009 08:10:00 +0000 http://www.mootbox.com/?p=823#IDComment14826001 http://paul.kedrosky.com/archives/2009/02/in_remittances.html#IDComment14814931 Thanks Sat, 7 Feb 2009 00:27:42 +0000 http://paul.kedrosky.com/archives/2009/02/in_remittances.html#IDComment14814931 http://paul.kedrosky.com/archives/2009/02/in_remittances.html#IDComment14814629 Interesting, I was looking around for the source of the table but could not find one.

How do they sleep at night? Fri, 30 Jan 2009 06:00:22 +0000 http://www.mootbox.com/?p=823#IDComment14479533 http://www.mootbox.com/?p=789#IDComment14243421 Thanks solomonsydelle for stopping by. Your comment points out something missing in my post above. The overall argument was not in favor of the abandonment of the goal to make Nigeria a financial hub. My point was that, this goal was devised at the height of humongous valuations of the global financial sector as a whole. That level of valuation no longer holds. It only makes sense for us to review our our goals and get with the program. If at the end of the review the initial size and scope of the projects still hold, then it makes to keep doing what we have been doing. However if new data shows that the projects have to be altered in scale and framework (which I suspect, a la Citigroup, the world seem to be moving towards, small and nimble ) we'd be saving ourselves a lot of cash which we seem to need so badly these days. So it isn't a case of for-or-against, but that of what type and how much of our hopes should we hang on the financial hub model. How you dey now?

Oshiomole is on it, I guess that was the high point. Multi party that is. Yup we were told we were immune by Soludo, hmmm but we'd have to forgive him cos even the Americans did not know how deep this thing would run. Thanks for coming by.

Really it is a vicious cycle. Maybe the leadersdon'tcare because wedon'tmake them to. Or maybe wedon'tcare cause our leaders have let us down too many time. The chicken and egg situation once again. However we ought to me more interested in finding a solution. Ibelievethe solution lies in economic growth. How we can pull that off without a good government is beyond me.

The chilly weather was nice too. I recall, The Hill Station Hotel pretty well Mon, 1 Dec 2008 20:17:31 +0000 http://www.africanloft.com/nigeria-jos-riot-aftermath-in-photo-and-video/#IDComment11931545 http://paul.kedrosky.com/archives/2008/11/24/the_thing_we_do.html#IDComment11687905 You'd be shocked at the ratio of economist that work in the finance industry. Very low. Most real economist have minimal training in finance.

We definitely can't give a pass to the bad behavior of African dictators. Thanks for stopping by.

An ARM is different from an Option ARM. I figured you were referring to the ARM anyway. The phenomenon is applicable to all ARMs you would be surprised. But the uncertainty of the reset after the 6 month lock period is not worth the risk. Just thought I'd clarify the option ARM thing. It is amazing how many CNBC analysts make the same mistake. It is very basic though.
