Kobojunkie:

How far has all the prayers you have offered up gotten you and Nigeria? Over 1 Trillion dollars stolen by less than 0.1% of the populace while poverty rate continues to rise each and every year. Worse violence and terrorism has over time come to be considered the norm in the Nation, and those in power continue to invoke the name of God rather than show the substance of all they claim to have been working on.

Enough of the prayers. What is needed, and has been in short supply, is action on the part of the people. Even the Bible says Prayer with no work is DEAD, USELESS!

all4naija: He's not on point dude. Where did he get the money for the American-named school he owned, Mr-on-point?!

JB11: INSECURITY: We need hard work, not good luck –Atiku

Presidential aspirant and former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has said that the country does not need ‘’goodluck’’ but “hard work and prayer” to overcome the present security and political challenges facing the nation.

Speaking yesterday as the special guest of honour at the 13th Speech and Prize Giving day of EL-Amin International School Minna owned by the late former first lady, Maryam Babangida, he admitted that though the country is passing through a trying period, ‘’Nigerians must learn to stay on course’’.

The Turakin Adamawa, while speaking on the current insecurity and political situations in the country said they are challenges that would require more than “good luck” to surmount. Though luck has a role to play in human affairs, he was quick to stress that, ‘’you do not sit and wait for luck to smile on you, you have to work hard’’.

Addressing the graduating students in a paper he titled, ‘’Imperatives of staying on course’’, the former Presidential aspirant recalled that as a student he never relied on “good luck” to overcome academic challenges but attributed his successes to hard work and prayers.

Observers would be whether the former Vice president who kept harping on the word “good luck” was indirectly harping on it because of the rhyme with the president’s first name. Atiku then told the students that their graduation marks the beginning of a more challenging phase in the journey of life.

He emphasised ‘’Whether you are going on life’s journey by rail, by road, sea or by air you are likely to experience difficult challenges but you need to stay focus and stay on course’’.

The former vice president whose speech drew ovation from the audience, which included former military President, General Ibrahim Babangida and members of the National Assembly, went on memory lane, saying, ‘’I used to have a teacher in secondary school, when we are going into the examination hall and people say “good luck” he will say no! no!! No good luck but you must work hard to overcome challenges.’’

He reminded the graduating students that obstacles are inevitable in human life, maintaining that there is no journey of life without obstacles, but advised that they should not allow situations to throw them off the course.

Atiku then commended the foresight of the founder of the school, the late Mrs. Maryam Babangida for establishing the school, describing the legacy she left as an inestimable value for generations of Nigerians that would have been educated in the school in the years, saying, ‘’graduates of this great school would become key human resources for the country.”

INFO70: 'WHAT' IS TALKING? ATIKU BOKO HARAM I DEY LAUGH WE NEED VIOLENCE TO SUCCEED AS A NATION, NOT GOODLUCK NOR HARDWORK.
ATIKU, THE BLOOD OF THOSE THAT DIED AS A RESULT OF THE KILLING BY BOKO HARAM SHALL BE ON YOUR HEAD AND YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY TO YOUR SIXTH GENERATIONS. BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER.

Demdem:

Boy thats not the issue. Atiku is corrupt, thats a fact but do we need "hardwork" instead of "goodluck"? of cos hard work is expedient. ffuck the messenger and embrace the message so once again, he is on point. besides he was talking to school children.

J-FACTOR:
He is really working hard with his BH boys

wadoski: Pray tell me what it takes to rule the country. How many past presidents both in Nigeria and elsewhere have ‘successfully‘ ruled their countries? Is their any president that has ‘succeeded‘ in solving all theproblems of his country? You see when you make such comments, I begin to wonder if any one person alone has all it takes to lead a country.

lalaosky: 3ou guys even try reading his babblings...kudos to y'all that read what that imbecil spewed up thier...when an upright person talks then i will read and learn..imagine a thief telling me stealing is legit...mtcheeeeewwww...am expecting to speak out more though cos its only in 9ja that such a corrupt man will still be waliking in the street free instead of chilling in the penintetiary

Praisebe: No matter how healthy and efficient the head is, it cannot function effectively in the midst of some diseased organs. GEJ is the head in this country, and there is no way he wil perform credibly well in d midst of some corrupt leaders and the lead. A TREE cannot make a FOREST. Let's stop shifting the entire blame to him.No matter how healthy and efficient the head is, it cannot function effectively in the midst of some diseased organs.

Kobojunkie:

It is time you folks grow a brain. If you do not have proof of this,it is best you learn do away with the puerile attempts at attacks, and focus your energy instead on finding those to really blame for the situation.

@Poster, last thing Nigeria needs, in my opinion, is more prayer. We have a populace that will rather close their eyes while the 0.01% continue to rob them blind. Nigerians need to open their eyes, not close it in prayer, and fight for a better future for themselves, and their children.

EyesWideOpen: Just another treasury ex-looter having a field day voicing his useless yarn.
We've heard his own, who's next? And by the way, while we wait, why don't he step forward and put in the 'hardwork'? Mtschewww, all talk no action good for nothing bastard, God'll punish you all, the 'Goodluck' included!!!

Castos: Even the worthless speak. A chọcha onye ga ekwu okwu, ọ bụrụ Atiku. Where is our money!

all4naija: Sorry! A corrupt leader has nothing to tell children because they would definitely find out who he's. When they do, his reputation would be of no consequence.

It's like a criminal telling you it is bad to steal when you know who he is. Of what use is such advice to you?

tomakint: why casting aspersions on him, let him wait and c what will befall his "demonic, political ambition" come 2015! I am more than convinced that POWER will never return to that Boko Haram-infested region called, NORTH! mark my words! North is history as far as Nigerian politics is concerned!

nagoma:

"No president has succeeded in solving all his country's problems" - you are right but Jona has not succeeded in solving even one problem. That is the issue and he does not show any prospects.

Demdem:

U are wrong. if a corrupt leader like the Retardeen who has nothing to show when he was Gov of beyelsa but his corrupt wife's activities can still deceive Nigerians with his no shoes story and Nigerians believe in him then why cant Atiku? Even the most corrupt knows the truth. The ability to live to it is always the challenge. Atiku isnt the first miserable corrupt Nigerian to give a good advise and he wont be the last, deal with it

Once again, Ffuck the messenger and embrace the message. The message is the truth and is on Point. "Hardwork" and not "Goodluck"

akagaba: u ar a dumb and a senseles slowpoke. Hear urslf, so foolish in ur assumed wise saying. To hell with u and ur Atiku.
