  2. PLEASE SAY IT WILL GO UP
  3. Not sure why you would get a -1 nointel...I realize people don't like Okie, but I still don't think you should get docked for it. I evened you out. Now, with that said, I thought the funniest part of the whole post from Okie was this statement.... 'discredits their reliability as a source of information'....umm Okie? You do realize what you just said right?
  4. The USS Abraham Lincoln just arrived in Honolulu where there is now a tsunami warning. I know there are several families that flew to Hawaii today for a visit with their husbands/dads/moms and now have to face this. Praying for all people of Hawaii and of course the people of Japan.
  5. Ha! You beat me to it Spoolin! I was just about to give the link to updates for the President and Vice President. Looks like he is in Russia tomorrow too. But you never know. White House Schedule
  6. I vote 'A' especially when you see their join date. Trying to stir us all up
  7. I always looks for his posts to see what he has to say? He's usually here on Sunday mornings? Anyone else have any insight about the low auctions?
  8. Ha! Well, that was exactly one year ago from when Iraq held their elections
  9. World Bank to give N720bn annually to African countries News Mar 4, 2011 BY FAVOUR NNABUGWU The World Bank has set aside N720billion ($48billion) annually to assist African countries, including Nigeria, to diversify their economies and also create jobs for the continent’s citizenry. Making this known from Paris in a video feed yesterday, Obiageli Ezekwesili, the bank’s Vice-President (Africa Region), said Africa could diversify its economic structures in Information and Communications Technology, ICT, tourism, transport, education, skill development and agriculture. According to her, “the plan will assist countries to diversify their economies and generate jobs, especially for the 7-10 million young people entering the labour market each year. “It will help to close the gap between infrastructure needs and investments, currently about $48 billion annually, and support efforts to make it easier for business to operate. In addition, the plan will focus on building the skills of workers.” Growth, she bemoaned, had not been accompanied by job creation for 10million young Africans, adding that there was also a massive infrastructural deficit, and an uneven spread of wealth at the exclusion of African woman from economic activity. Ezekwesili said the bank would ensure that the citizenry on the African continent were carried along, especially in respect of its thre-prong strategy of competitiveness and employment; vulnerability and resilience and public se ctor capacity. She said: “In implementing the strategy, the World Bank Group shall remain fruitfully engaged with citizens as they demand greater participation in the benefits of improved economic performance, deploy our partnerships, knowledge and finance to work with governments, private sector, civil society and other partners and help countries to speed up the attainment of the MDGs, expand economic prosperity and reduce poverty.” Though she said that the bank had observed that African countries rarely monitored their performance, she noted that countries’ capacity to monitor performance was difficult. Ezekwesili said the World Bank would continuously consult with the continent in order to draw from national strategy to ensure the bank’s support. However, she said the level of consultation from the continent was not adequate and wished for an intense consultation from Africa. She said: “We are excited about Africa’s future. Today’s Africa is exemplified by the many success stories and stronger economic growth being driven by the dynamism of its people and economies. “We, therefore, used the opportunity of our new African Strategy to listen, learn and define how we could better support the continent’s aspiration as it maintains the momentum of economic reforms over the next decade. “By working together with the citizens and promoting good governance, the people will be able to view evidence of a World Bank project actually working, rather than being informed by only their governments.”
  10. Too funny! We totally are like Pavlov's dog! Ring that bell

  12. Ohio guy...I believe you. Only because for the first time today I have my own bank story. My dad (who got me into this) told me that the lady who works at his bank called him today. First thing I asked my dad was 'did she call from the bank phone line?' (I am the most skeptical person out there)....and he said no it was from her cell phone. He has told me in the past that she would call him if she finds anything out. He convinced her to buy dinar even though she isn't even convinced of the RV. Anyway, she told him that it wasn't good news....that there was a memo sent out yesterday all about how the Iraq Dinar is a scam and to stay away from it..blah, blah blah...to which my dad of course thinks is positive for us because the banks don't want their employees buying it. Which personally I think the banks could get sued if it does RV and they had memos sent out telling them not to buy it. But I digress.... I think what I found most interesting is all the people who have posted in the past saying that someone from their bank has called them. They have gotten totally bashed for saying it...but now I have heard it first hand from my own dad who I trust 100%! You can bash me if you want...I have nothing to lose...not trying to win any friends or gain points...just trying to gain facts about the dinar!
  13. [OKIE_OIL_MAN] I understand and was told 3.22 And how does he get away with not ever explaining what happened to his other rates. Like it is for sure going to be 5+, 6+...he is fun to read, but I just wish he wouldn't be so 'For sure' everytime!
