			<description><![CDATA[SINCE the recent stock market crash and the implosion at the top echelon of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), there has been a matrix of misinformation, misperception and misplaced aggression against the erstwhile director general of the NSE, Professor Ndi Okereke-Onyiuke, arising from an orchestrated political shenanigan by a cabal in a typical demonstration of the ‘PHD’ (Pull Her Down) syndrome.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[AMIDST all these thunderous chaos occasioned by terrorist attacks across the country within the space of one week of madness from December 24, 2010 to December 29, 2010; amidst the violence, mayhem and pogrom perpetrated by the terrorists; sectarian extremists and other sundry criminals stands the Nigerian security and intelligence community – confused, looking dazed and dazzled, helpless and impotent, looking stupid and forlorn of hope, overwhelmed and brow-beaten, shame-faced and completely unable to stand up to and unravel the identities of the enemies of the State.<br/>]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[The Restructuring in NNPC]]></title>
			<link>http://businessworldng.com/web/articles/1397/1/The-Restructuring-in-NNPC/Page1.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[In the last two decades or so there have been regular shake-ups in the
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and its subsidiaries.
This has hitherto involved the removal of the group managing directors
and other executive directors in response to their shortcomings and
failings. The overall aim in these exercise, according to the reasoning
of the federal government, is to achieve maximum efficiency,
transparency and accountability in the operations of the corporation
and its subsidiaries; and also to weed out suspected corrupt elements
within the various departments and units of the corporation.]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Tenure for Bank CEOs (2)]]></title>
			<link>http://businessworldng.com/web/articles/1246/1/Tenure-for-Bank-CEOs-2/Page1.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[DOES the Central Bank have the authority to take the action it has now
taken? I thought the answer to that question should be obvious to all.
But for the avoidance of any doubt the Central Bank’s functions could
be seen from the perspective of three broad thrusts; the traditional
functions, the regulatory functions and the developmental. Under the
regulatory functions of the Central Bank it is expected to formulate
policies to control the amount of money in circulation, control other
banks and major players in the financial market and generally promote
the soundness and stability of the financial system and it is this
aspect of the functions of the Central Bank that empowers it to take
the action it has just taken.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[“THERE has been very conflicting reports from different media and
different sources and to have a clear picture we have to send the team.
So, any statement I am going to make now will be presumptuous. Let them
come back and we will have a fair assessment of the situation that will
form the basis of the statement we are going to make. At the moment,
the military had moved in concert with the police to normalize the
situation” - General Sarki Mukhtar, National Security Adviser, part of
the statement made shortly after the emergency security meeting with
the Vice President at the wake of the latest Jos crisis.<br/>]]></description>

			<link>http://businessworldng.com/web/articles/1168/1/Invitation-to-the-Rubaiyat-of-Omar-Khayyam/Page1.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[KHAYYÁM wrote a book entitled Explanations of the difficulties in the
postulates in Euclid’s Elements. The book consists of several sections
on the parallel postulate (Book I), on the Euclidean definition of
ratios and the Anthyphairetic ratio (modern continued fractions) (Book
II), and on the multiplication of ratios (Book III).]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[FOR me, it remains a trip to remember. There was no single dull moment.
It was either that Azu Ishiekwene (then Editor of the Punch, and now
executive director of the same newspaper), had literally got lost in
Borders Bookshop while combing the large bookshop for books that were
possibly out of print or Ibim Semenitari (then Editor of Board Street
Journal and now commissioner for Information in River State), had gone
out to fetch herself a cup of Starbucks coffee. Lost in thought, Azu
and I wondered if her keeping long meant she was negotiating to buy the
Starbucks company instead. It was fun all the way as we had the best of
the two worlds of work and leisure.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The negative impact of corruption on business and economic development
cannot be stressed enough. More than 70 per cent of Nigerian businesses
in 2007 felt that corruption and insecurity were the two main
impediments for doing business in this country. The full significance
of this finding becomes evident when comparing it with the perceptions
of businesses relating to factors of economic governance.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It is tragic that we are still sleepwalking in the groove of our mental backwardness. We have misplaced the sign-posts of development. We are yet to get our priority right. This is why we have been hostile to some of our policy makers in recent times. <br/>]]></description>
