The group, however, stated that it was not surprised that a party with credibility problem should think the solution to its problem was in throwing money around.
“These are people that have been conditioned to see dollar rain as solutions to local credibility problems.
“Coming soon after they had shared wads of dollars among party delegates; they did not feel bad spending more to boost the economy of Dubai where they have been holding strategy sessions.
“The same people have signed a deal of 90,000 dollars a month to secure an American visa for a morally challenged presidential candidate.

I’m waiting for Dino Melaye’s Tweet about this poster of Sanni Using PMB to gain public sympathy... We keep telling them that contesting against PMB is suicidal in the North but they won’t listen... Atiku Himself is very much aware of this... Can’t wait for Campaigns to start

Wait until you see Dino Melaye’s poster. Don’t be surprised if Buhari is on it.

In the north It is also advisable for Atiku to have Buhari’s picture on his posters.

Believe the Police at your own peril. Obi demolished the Hausa Cattle market at Onitsha and now he is groomed to be the President of Nigeria ( should anything happen to Atiku). Northerners, shine your eyes.

To some Nigerians dancing is decadence and is not befitting for a cultured person to dance in public, while to other set is a divine activity - An important and integral part of weekly worship.

So the regime is trying to assasinate him? To what end? Is he Atiku or saraki? What’s there to gain from his assassinating him?

The attacker might just be an ordinary armed rubber or there for something else. Everything must not be politics na.

It could even be PDP

The Du Pond tipping things I guess.

Buhari till 2023! Our great President!

_(VICTORY PIUS)_

*7 REASONS WHY DEAN FACULTY OF LAW IN AMBROSE ALLI UNIVERSITY REFUSED TO JOIN THE STRIKE*

*Read & Share to others*

*The Dean, Faculty of Law of the Ambrose Alli University in Edo state, Prof. Suny Edeko, has distanced himself from the strike action declared by the leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU on November 4th.*

*“The strike is to protest the poor funding of Nigerian universities and alleged plan by the federal government to increase students fees and introduce an education bank.” There are a few reasons why I will not support the strike.*

*Firstly, there is no sector in Nigeria with adequate funding. I am sorry to say that even in a corrupt place some people feel they don’t have enough to loot. In the area of funding, note that all institutions in Nigeria deserve better funding.*

*However, with negotiations, the Federal Government of Nigeria is fully involved in developing all higher institutions in Nigeria including those owned by the States.*

*For example, in a state university headed by one digital vice-chancellor, the federal government presence includes*

*(a) Twin Lecture Halls Building (b) about 1000-Seat capacity NLT (c) ICT Centre Building (d) ENT Building (e) Library Building Rehabilitated (f) Faculty of Law Rehabilitated (g) Engineering Faculty Building (h) Faculty of Arts Building (i) Faculty of Life Sciences (j) Faculty of Social Sciences (k) Faculty of Physical Sciences (l) Faculty of Management Building about to start (m) Faculty of Education Building about to start (n) 1000-seat capacity University Main Auditorium (o) Law faculty Auditorium (p) Overseas scholarship for lecturers from which my friends have benefited and (q) many more I have lost count.*

*And this is a state university, not federal.The Federal Government is trying although things always remain to be done even in rich countries. Note that the above things are being done by the FGN in state universities and state colleges of education and Polytechnics.*

*Secondly, as for schools fees, I share the view that all Nigerian students deserve free education up to Ph.D. level. In federal universities where it is alleged that they want to increase school fees, depending on the university, students pay between N30,000 and N60,000 per annum.*

*Why should I go on strike for such students when fresh students in Osun State University pay N253,000 and we are not going on strike for them.*

*Many state Universities students pay between N100,000 and N200,000.Nobody is going on strike for them but we want to embark on strike for students in federal universities who pay lesser school fees that even if fees are increased they may never be up to N100,000.*

*Thirdly, Education Bank was created by a law of the National Assembly titled The Education Bank Act, Cap 422 Laws of the Federation 1990. The long title states that it is an Act to establish the Nigerian Education Bank to approve and disburse loans for educational purposes and for matters incidental to it. If there is such a bank and it is not working well, we rather find ways to make it better and not to kill it.*

*Fourthly, since we claim to be fighting to protect the interest of students, there should be a vote or referendum on the strike by the students so that the strike supposedly meant to protect their interest can only go ahead if those affected approve it. Students did not send ASUU to go on strike for them.*

*Students know how to fight for their rights. ASUU,please count students out of your strike. Look for better reasons to go on strike.*

*Fifth, strike, no matter how strong can never end plans to increase school fees or establish education bank meant for the interest of students.*

*There are plans even in the richest countries to increase school fees.*

*They may or may not be concrete plans. There are plans to always increase salaries in the same way there are plans to increase school fees not only in federal universities but also in state and private universities and other schools at all levels. Should this deserve a strike that will further destabilize the already destabilized academic calendar? I think it doesn’t deserve strike. But it deserves negotiations without strike.*

*Sixth, there are many professors or scholars and experts in arbitration and conflict including labour disputes resolution with extensive skills in negotiation. They can bring their experience and expertise to light with such level of management that there may be no strike to get what you want. Please reason this again and ask yourself whether this strike is worth it.*

*Seventh, where negotiations fail, use propaganda to ruin the government. A strong propaganda machine can make even a strong government to collapse. Use your brains in a superior way. You will be surprised more and better things will be achieved by that. Prove to the nation the brains you have.*

*I WILL NOT GO ON STRIKE*

Groovenaija360:
I still don't get why Buhari would want to kill Ekweremadu

Osinbajo is a useless Afonja man colonized by the lifeless Fulani man

Please check your IPOBs circles properly, this has an eastern signature. One of the said assassination was arrested, what’s his name and who sent him? Simple.

Backward people backward nation , what kind of nonsense is this? Juju in the year 2018

Ikpongiton:
northern nigeria moslems are the dirtiest in the world,the reason,you find so many leprous infested people in the street of kano and other cities in the north.

The largest leper colony in Africa is at Uzuakoli in Eastern Nigeria.

Kyleconstantine:
Please, stop preaching this toxic hatred. We are Nigerians. Nigeria is for Nigerians irrespective of where they came from. It is illogical for anybody to higher foreign professors while we have Nigerians that can fill the vacuum.

Enough of this pettiness!

Not pettiness but fact. It’s you who is economical with the truth and will dare not deal with the fears I expressed but just gloss over it.

dairykidd:
You are very wrong... Money comes from smart work & never hard work

Yes I concede, and fake miracles and false prophesies are examples of smart work . That’s why the smart Pastors have money but my brothers are too blind to see.

Honor among thieves, he is fulfilling his own side of the bargain. You bribe me with $$$$ I give you contract. Whether you complete it or not is your problem.

gaby:
Lol....

Does Nigeria have a border agency? Very laughable.

He could have simply handed him the keys to the CBN vault as chief executive keyholder.

Nepotistic bigots.

Given half the chance Okorocha would have done just that

AGNESikpuNNU:
Blaaaah!
Abokki shut up ... ATIKU till ndi eke atuo

Obi takes over after Atiku’s funeral in one year abi?

Atiku dining with the Devil.

Iykenuwa:
Ignorant people said the same thing about healing miracles once upon a time. Prosperity is part of the Gospel message.

Money comes from hard work and good planning never from miracles, I know that you’re brainwashed and will never understand this simple fact of life. I repeat, there is no free lunch.

thatigboman:
what u wrote is an essay? Did u attend katsina provisional secondary school with buhari?

When you have to work with the uneducated on NL, you need to do some teaching- “thatigboman” please learn something about the real meaning of the word “essay”;

“An essay is, generally, a piece of writing that gives the author's own argument — but the definition is vague, overlapping with those of a paper, an article, a pamphlet, and a short story. Essays have traditionally been sub-classified as formal and informal. Formal essays are characterized by "serious purpose, dignity, logical organization, length," whereas the informal essay is characterized by "the personal element (self-revelation, individual tastes and experiences, confidential manner), humor, graceful style, rambling structure, unconventionality or novelty of theme," etc.[1]

“Essays are commonly used as literary criticism, political manifestos, learned arguments, observations of daily life, recollections, and reflections of the author.”

GistFullGround:
Is it that IBB never re-married after his wife's death?
I can see her picture.
Mennn, this guy really loved her o!

Such a handsome lady. A replacement for Maryam ?

When Atiku can give that amount to buy a few votes.

At least Buhari is not depositing the money in his personal account. He is using this small amount $500K to buy international goodwill which Atiku does not understand.

Certificates don’t necessarily mean leadership or work, we have seen it in the PhD president we had. We are happily with the development being carried out by PMB around the country. We will return Buhari in 2019. Sai Baba till 2023!

The Pentecostal scammers calling themselves Pastors are a major social problem in Nigeria. They also escalate disunity as their scam cannot flourish in a united society. They must create enemies for you , they must build fear and threat to get your attention and compliance. The gullible amongst us respond to their gimmicks and false prophesies and fake miracles. All of them , without exception.

Kyleconstantine:
Why do Nigerians ass lick foreigners this much? This is total bullshit! We have a high unemployment situation in this country.

Nigeria should be for Nigerians first. We don't get this love, respect and employment outside. Give jobs and contracts only to Nigerians. This is how you make your people rich. Our monies should stop being in foreign hands

Experience teaches. When southerners are recruited they become political and fill all positions with southerners and three quarters of admissions come from their home states. Even gardeners and kitchen staff are brought from the south. I will advise them to continue recruiting foreign professors who have no such agenda and who will mentor the local academics .

HigherEd:
I see it, but they are majorly doing it in a crooked way. UI doesn't enjoy nearly the amount invested into ABU. Over the years, the Min Of Education, NNPC and CBN have given ABU some very suspicious level of funding that other universities down south are not priviledged to.

BUK's solar electricity project is so massive and bankrolled by govt apparatus. I wonder if southereners realise this silent mandate by the North to give advantage to themselves as regard educational institutions. But know this while Southern public schools may be deprived of the level of funding in Northern schools, the private sector led education sector is clearly dominated by the south, from primsary to tertiary level.

You are not making sense.

Nigeria in retrogression. So what is this rubbish suppose to mean?

And you described this most revolting devilish horror as “ making love” ? Are you mad?

The poverty in Nigeria suffers from poverty and we are collectively responsible. Atiku is our chairman. It'll take the size of Syrian war, for anyone in 3yrs, to plunge Nigeria into its current extent of poverty if Atiku left behind all he carted away in 8yrs as a vice president.

As Head of National Council on Privatization (NCP), from 1999, @atiku dug Nigeria's economic grave for today's extreme poverty and unemployment. There were over 600 federal assets when @atiku's NCP started selling.

Atiku should tell us who bought what and what was left when he left.

In 2007, Onigbolo Cement operating at 500,000 tonnes per annum was sold to Dangote at N1.7Bn �

To those selling Atiku, let me remind you of @NGRSenate public hearing of August, 2011 which succinctly captures how @atiku through retinue of cohorts, fronts, shell companies, ring fenced over 70% of FG's assets through a brazen daylight robbery privatization that he supervised.

This is nothing sensational. Its real life facts and all the Senators are alive today. The 2011 privatization Senate committee was made up of Senator Ahmed Lawan – Chairman, Senators Babafemi Ojudu, Philip Aduda, Mohammed Ndume, Ifeanyi Okowa, Hope Uzodinma and Mohammadu Magoro.

Lets look at Aluminium Smelting Company, ALSCON, that Atiku privatized.

ALSCON which Nigeria built with $3.2 billion, was sold to a Russian firm, Russal, for $130million. As of the time of sale, ALSCON had received $120million for the dredging of Imo River, but was never done.

When the Senate Seating of August, 2011 asked the Russian company the whereabouts of the $120million dredging money, the company's Deputy Managing Director, Vitaly Kuzrestov, said that the money has been used for Environment Impact Assessment." EIA kii you there. �

FG's Five percent share in Eleme Petrochemical worth USD27 million was never presented to at the National Council on Privatization before t'was sold to Indorama.

Indorama recovered this amount selling Polyethylene and Urea to the entire west Africa sub-region in just 14 months.

The Atikulate Business Theory: Sell to yourself Government assets that leaves millions in penury, to set up personal businesses that provides for a few. @Atiku didn't employ the few hundreds he employed because he likes them, he needs them to work to preserve what he took from Government.

Fam, the business acumen of Atiku you are bandying about is smelly.

A man who supervised sales of over 145 federal investments as a vice president, without a thought for today wants to be president.

He didnt revitalize them.

He didnt resuscitate them.

He sold them to whomever. May Nigeria �� succeed
