We all know the definition of orphan. I am sure Atiku does as well. He told the world in his submission that he "grew up an orphan selling firewood on the street" to survive.

On his Wikipedia page and his Autobiography, he stated his mother died in 1984, at which time he, Atiku, was heading the Customs unit at the Lagos Port, had built her a house and bought her a car.

In other areas of the book, he talked about the fact that his parents weren't super rich. But they were comfortable enough to give him a sheltered and comfortable life as a growing child.

If Atiku's mother died in 1984 like he claims and he was already a "big man" in the customs having had a sheltered and comfortable childhood, pray tell, when did things get so bad that he sold firewood on the streets

Conclusion: Atiku LIED!

You must think we're fools here.

In Nigeria, everyone knows what the word "orphan" stand for. it's mostly a word used for children without PARENTS!

That's why we mostly have what we call "orphanage homes" for children without parents.

Let's stop being silly in this country!

U dey mind them?

“I started out as an
(orphan)
(38year old man without Daddy and mummy in the year 1984)
selling firewood on the streets of Jada in Adamawa, but God, through the Nigerian state, invested in me and here I am today”, Atiku said in a 9-minute broadcast that was streamed live on Facebook.

UNICEF and global partners define an orphan as a child under 18 years of age who has lost one or both parents to any cause of death..... Your definition of orphan according to UNICEF .
Have you read his book? Is it true his dad died 1957? His mum died 1984?

From all your references, they were specific with the word "child". the dictionary was explicit as the person must be a "child", and as at the time Atiku lost his mother, he was not a child in fact he was a father. So it doesn't apply to him in all ramification.

Engineerboat, you left out the most important issue. Atiku lost his Dad at an early age and the mother remarried soon after. Was he still an orphan thenceforth? He didn't tell us if he lost his step father before his mother died. So it can be safely assumed that he wasn't an orphan until his mother died in 1984 when he was 38years old. So the claim that he started life as an orphan selling firewood is meant to hoodwink the gullible

Conclusion: Atiku LIED!

His 'Oliver Twist' lies get even worse - a point I made yesterday.

I say this because I have been around long enough to know how difficult it is for a real indigent to gain the kind of access Atikulooter described in the excerpt copied in below.

You want to know what is truly sad and comical? Most of his uncritical supporters aren't even aware he claimed to have bought a house at the age of 15 grin grin grin

When I was 15, I spent my school holiday at home, working as a clerk in Ganye Native Authority. My boss was Adamu Ciroma, the then District Officer. From my holiday job earnings, I bought a house for my mother in Ganye, the headquarters of the local government council. The thatched mud bungalow had two rooms plus a kitchen and bathroom. It cost me about nine Pounds Sterling. My mother was very happy and proud of me. I had saved her from homelessness after her older brother sold the family house in Jada without her knowledge.

No amount of white washing would change our view about the brazenly corrupt Atiku whose sole destiny is to loot and destroy Nigeria.

Atiku is a petty liar cum thief. He sold national assets to himself at give away prices and also turned the largest port in Nigeria to his private use for smuggling ( ask Nuhu Ribadu), thus , depriving Nigeria revenue.

Atiku, a corrupt retired customs officer who became the subject of an academic research on International corruption by an ivy league school in the US.

Atiku is only being supported by enemies of Nigeria who have vowed to wreck the ship of our country.

Sane and patriotic Nigerians are duty and honour bound to defend our Nation and her commonwealth from criminals like Atiku at all cost.
