Flash Back: Former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has described graduates of Nigerian public universities as brainless, saying they cannot communicate in English with the students of his private secondary school, the American University of Nigeria (AUN) Academy.

Abubakar, who spoke on Thursday evening in Yola during his birthday celebration organised by the management of AUN, said public universities graduates cannot fit into private industries due to their poor education and character.

“I was in the University of Zik in Akwa in Anambra State on Wednesday on the invitation of the university. There is no student in public universities that can speak English in an error-free manner like the head boy of my secondary, who just finished addressing us now.

“When the head boy of AUN Academy, Abdullahi Sani, started speaking, I was thinking it is one of the lecturers in AUN, but only for him to introduce himself as the head boy of AUN Academy,” he stated

Corruption, the biggest reason for the downfall of most empires and civilization. Some group of people can tolerate corruption as long as their leader champion their religion or race, some will tolerate bribery as long as they champion their own pockets. I’ve lived long enough to see most of my friends that shouted anti-corruption slogan against the government have no problem bribing a police officer and vote for a leader of their choice as long as these leaders championed their own race.

When the leader they support was caught in a corruption scandal, my friends will say there are bigger fish to catch while ignoring the fact that their leader is corrupt. You cannot fight corruption with corruption, all forest fire starts from small and eventually grew massive. If you vote for a corrupt leader because he champions your race or religion, you deserve everything you asked for – crime, robbery, violence and etc.

Nobody said this better than Che Guevara, “Cruel leaders are replaced only to have new leaders turn cruel.” If your own party’s politician is corrupt, speak up.

Hillarious tweet

[[s]quote author=tochukwuifediba post=71889844]Those Pushing Atiku to Pick a Vice President from the South West are Enemy-Friends . To win you need to consolidate your Perceived Strong Hold not relegating it . South West will never give PDP Block Votes even with a South West VP unless
1- Atiku must get the blessing and Support of Tinubu .
2- Allow Tinubu to select his anointed candidate as his VP
3- Promise to step down in 2023 and hand over to South West

Majority of Igbos will never vote APC and Buhari but it does not mean they Most vote Atiku and PDP there will be massive voters apathy in 2019 if we feel that the two party does not represent our best interest , This voters apathy will only favour APC and Buhari .

Secondly , the political fact on ground is that The South East have the biggest voting block and Geographical spread in Nigeria from Kano, Kaduna , Abuja etc to the south West states we are the second most populous tribe after the Local indigenes of the land , So the South East influence is more even outside the GeoPolitical zones .

So for Atiku to stand a chance of defeating Buhari he need to consolidate his stronghold first Like South South , South East , North central , North East etc and then see how to get 60/40 votes from Buhari Stronghold like North west , South West etc .

I believe if the Igbos can have a reason to vote in 2019 it will be a great victory for PDP . But we won't vote if our interest is not clearly represented[/quote][/s]

9Ebiscoo:
One of the grandchildren of Chief Obafemi Awolowo has revealed what the late sage said about President Muhammadu Buhari years back before he died.

Speaking exclusively to News Express shortly after she stepped down for Gbenga Olawepo Hashiru during the presidential primary of the People’s Trust Party (now renamed Alliance for People’s Trust Party) held on Saturday in Lagos, Olufunke Awolowo said her grandfather during his lifetime used to say that people came into politics for various reasons and interests but might not have what it takes to be leaders.

Commenting on the performance of the present government led by President Buhari, the vibrant new-breed politician said: “It’s is a long time I had been hearing about Buhari, so when he came back in 2014 with the Change mantra, I thought he had changed. That’s why, at a point, I personally campaigned for him because I believed it was time for change. “Someone even asked me if my late grandfather Chief Awolowo would’ve been happy to see me campaign for Buhari. I told the person that times had changed. But the past three years have shown that the man (Buhari) has not changed one bit; as far as he is concerned, nothing has changed.”

Commenting further she said: “Buhari has failed, and that has taken my mind back to what Papa said about him a long time ago before he died. My grandfather said then that General Buhari did not have a full understanding of politics and governance. With what is happening in the country now, Papa was right.”

Reminded of the claims by the government of achievements made in various sectors of the economy, the pastor cum politician said it’s all propaganda. She said: “Even President Trump for a while was almost deceived. You could see how angry the American President was with his reaction after that. Nigeria needs someone who is sincere and who means well.”

On why she stepped down for another candidate at the national convention of her party before the actual commencement of the presidential primary election, she said: “I stepped down because, in the first place, there is always the first among equals. In my party APT, for example, we had more than ten aspirants each of whom could be the president. But sometimes you have to consider certain things, as in readiness, preparedness and all that. I came to realise that I hadn’t made the level of sacrifice that my colleague (Hashiru) had made, so I had to step down for him at the last minute. But I’m willing to work with him. That is what we expected aspirants in the other political parties to have down. It’s not a do-or-die affair. When you claim to work in the interest of the people, then you must consider the people first before self, you must be ready to step down if need be.”

On the forthcoming general elections, Olufunke who is the daughter of Chief Awolowo’s late son Segun, advised the Nigerian electorate on what political party and individual candidates they cast their votes for when the time comes. “Study their manifestos very closely as well as their total package, not just empty promises as we heard during the build-up to the 2015 general elections,” she admonished.

Slimmacho:
Reports reaching us confirms that two Northern Aspirants in the PDP primary elections this morning have stepped down to increase the chances of a Northerner clinching the Presidential Ticket of the PDP.
These Two Candidates will be announced before election commences today.

Are they not all northerners ?

Forgetting is difficult. Remembering is worse

So the PDP has finally admitted that it has only 48 senators.

“I am maniacally bewildered, overgassted and flabberwhelmed at the paraplegic crinkum crankum that characterised the Glo CAF awards culminating in an odoriferous saga cum gargantuan gaga! The jiggery-pokery of CAF in crowning Yaya Toure instead of our very own prodigy John Obi Mikel is a veritable bugaboo that must be pooh-poohed by all compos mentis homo sapiens! The perfidy and Mendacity of all the apparatchic of sports suzerainty is not only repugnant but also insalubrious!

I said to my self: What an anathematous disdain of the citizenry! What a deprecable descent from the sublime to the ridiculous! Who will curb the odoriferous excesses of this machavellian and mephistophelean cabal in the Confederation? With this state of affairs, i dare say that African football is swimming in a pestilential aqua with a disastrious terminus ad quem inherently laden with avoidable cataracts, ice bergs and oxbow Lakes. It is sardonic and lugubrious!!!”

Lagos
Everything is business,time and hustling

Is PDP still in Lagos?
Am asking this question because of the following:
1. I have not seen a single PDP poster in this Electioneering Primary
2. The whole State Chairman recently decamped to APC
3. The party have not be able to conduct Governorship Primary in the State
4. The party is waiting for decampees before it can get candidates to conduct primary

Direct Primary ofcourse. It is like voting in the General Election but restricted to Party Members. It gives members sense of belonging and create awareness, mobilisation ahead of the main election.

Indirect Primary is done by delegates usually not elected , but by the virtue of their positions in the party and govt. It creates room for corruption and enrichment of delegates

Sexual assault is never okay. Although some survivors may stay silent for years before sharing their stories, the act is in no way shape or form acceptable.

In the past, however, the subject seemed to be overlooked. Many women were subjected to being sexually harassed and assaulted by men who felt as though they were in the right and looking to gain positions of power.

Clement Ebri, Chairman of the primary election panel of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos, has declared Babajide Sanwo-Olu as winner of the exercise in the state.
