			<title><![CDATA[Banking Fraud:  No Place To Hide...]]></title>
			<link>http://businessworldng.com/web/articles/3086/1/Banking-Fraud--No-Place-To-Hide/Page1.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[The latest banking sector development report as contained in the 2011 
annual report of the Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation(NDIC), may 
have stated the obvious while analyzing the fraud record in the banking 
industry in 2011. For those Nigerians who have been close to the trends 
in electronic banking and the spate of job cuts in the sector, the 54 
per cent rise since last two years may really appear largely 
under-estimated.  In the real sense of it, fraud-free banking or a sharp
 reduction of it, is not any of the promises of electronic banking. In 
fact , the escalation of fraud and the expansion in its reach are some 
of the greatest fears of the innovation. Two years after the cashless 
project has potentially taken off in most cities and has become accepted
 by various private institutions and government commercial units, the 
exposure of a horrendous fraud report has taken some unsuspecting 
enthusiasts of the policy aback. ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Why Nigerians  are Corrupt…]]></title>
			<link>http://businessworldng.com/web/articles/3017/1/Why-Nigerians--are-Corrupt/Page1.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[The emerging revelation on the employment racket in the Federal Civil 
service is just one of the overflowing indications to the increasing 
level of corruption in the country. Money-for-job is a trend that seems 
to be the icing on the debilitating moral morass which has been 
threatening to increase the tempo at which the Nigerian nation is 
negatively growing. Before this new revelation, jobs may not have been 
easily accessible by all, but its availability has never been based on 
how much money people paid. Global development criteria indicate that 
the stage where the unemployed could be asked to pay some money before 
he will be given a job points to an indication of monumental decay in 
the character and creed of the entire people. The consequence of this 
stage is nothing but total anarchy, which can manifest in many ways, 
some of which are already assuming higher growth perspectives and 
proportions in today's Nigeria.  ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[To Port  Or Not... ]]></title>
			<link>http://businessworldng.com/web/articles/3000/1/To-Port--Or-Not-/Page1.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Few weeks ago, I asked my ICT reporter to breakdown the word 
Portability, to our readers so as to drive home its full content. I gave
 this instruction based on the life-style of Nigerians in relationship 
with new developments, bearing in mind the fact that Nigerians are not 
ready to go the extra mile to search for the real meaning of  the word, 
Portability. In the real sense of it, most of them did not realise that 
the idea of portability has a universal appeal based on the growing 
demand for clarity in network service and the tendency to eliminate 
unnecessary cost structures in service consumption. This trend which 
offers a phone user the luxury of crossing-over to another network with 
his existing number without buying a new sim card is another way of 
explaining the nature and kind of progress so far made in the telecoms 
industry over the years.  ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[The Power  of Dialogue...]]></title>
			<link>http://businessworldng.com/web/articles/2976/1/The-Power--of-Dialogue/Page1.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[This copy was written by this columnist and published at the heat of the
 debate on whether to dialogue with the Boko Haram Sect or not. Today, 
this article still has a lot to tell Nigerians. It is not advocating 
amnesty as an option, because by the time it was published amnesty was 
not one of the trump card of the Boko Haram protagonists. ]]></description>

			<link>http://businessworldng.com/web/articles/2944/1/Funmi-Olayinka--A-Quintessential--PR-Person/Page1.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[You really do not need a woman as pretty as Funmi Olayinka as a PR head,
 but if that kind of beauty comes through any company's chances, that 
becomes a plus. Even with this great advantage, Funmi's beauty was never
 any of the trips she encountered while doing her job. Running through 
the corporate affairs desks of two major banks, she carried along the 
big and small players in her constituency and that was why her 
nomination as Deputy Governor was a plus for Fayemi's candidature. Her 
sudden demise came with all the trappings of a shock ,going by her age 
and enthusiasm. ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[The Most  Dangerous  Road In  The World...]]></title>
			<link>http://businessworldng.com/web/articles/2943/1/The-Most--Dangerous--Road-In--The-World/Page1.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[An adventure into a collection of world's most dangerous roads reminds 
me of the dearh-stretch from Lagos-Benin-Onitsha in the Southern 
Nigeria, with its greatest hotspots between Ore and Benin. In the actual
 facts of history, the world has been able to record only 10 very 
dangerous roads where the least dangerous among them records some 200 
fatalities each year. Going beyond the list, there was no mention of 
Lagos-Benin road where over 300 fatalities have been recorded each year 
by unofficial sources. The Road of Death in Bolivia records some 300 
fatalities, The Highway of Death in Iraq has 10,000 fatalities on record
 while The Widow-maker in England has the least. All the 10 most 
dangerous roads are obviously trailing our record here, especially on 
Lagos-Benin Road. It was so bad that a minister had to cry openly, but 
that has not solved the problem. ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Akpabio  the Gift,  The Giver...]]></title>
			<link>http://businessworldng.com/web/articles/2912/1/Akpabio--the-Gift--The-Giver/Page1.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[In each of the democracies that we have seen as a people since 1979, 
there is always a governor ordained by nature to be seen by many as 
humane and charitable. In the second republic spanning the Shehu Shagari
 years, Jim Ifeanyichukwu Nwobodo was known as a giver of immense 
capacity. Nwobodo popularised the word 'donation', so much so that his 
political allies and foes alike nicknamed him 'Donatus'. He was more 
regularly referred to as 'Donatus Nwobodo' based on his passion in 
announcing huge free gifts to people and organisations and communities. 
To him, the state would better have operated its budget using donations 
and gifts to people as the best way of reaching the masses or extending 
the national cake to everyone. ]]></description>

conducts the business of governance, so much so that they are not 
bothered to know what most state governors are doing.  ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[2015...]]></title>
			<link>http://businessworldng.com/web/articles/2841/1/2015/Page1.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[My statistics of events involving odd numbers in Nigeria since the last 
50 years is very positive. There are no indications that odd- 
numbers-years have more disastrous consequences on Nigeria's activities.
 Looking at the year 1961 to 2013, one can see that history seems to 
have been in favour of Nigeria. The few eventful periods within that 
time did not come with far-reaching negative consequences. Apart from 
years like 1967, 1985,1993 and 2011 which were the peak of the civil 
war, bloody military coupe, civil protest against annulment of Abiola's 
election and Boko Haram insurgence, the rest of the period had quiet and
 non-violent issues on record. This careful observation was instigated 
by the desire to see if there is a sequence that would authenticate the 
much exaggerated Failed State status which was ascribed to Nigeria by 
the year 2015. This desire becomes even more informed by the nature of 
crisis and disaster that have been on record, especially in respect of 
the Boko Haram challenge and other pockets of conflicts within the 
polity and even the economy.  ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Of Sultan and  Amnesty...]]></title>
			<link>http://businessworldng.com/web/articles/2805/1/Of-Sultan-and--Amnesty/Page1.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Maybe, President Goodluck Jonathan has decided to stamp his feet on the 
ground to save his presidential ambition in 2015. Unlike his usually 
very soft approach to issues of grave importance, the tall president 
sprang to his feet and told the Sultan that his amnesty plea is an 
apology to the ravaging terrorists which does not in any way address the
 vexed issue of organised militancy in the country and not a solution to
 the ravaging rascality that youths from the North have decided to 
spread as religion.  ]]></description>
