ignant:Buhari’s Credentials are there for all to see, not the piece of paper which is often obtained through exam malpractices.His legacy is his certificate , we don’t need to see any paper to elect him again. |
The two Twitter Senators Ben Murray Bruce and Shehu Sani are now free to be on Twitter 24/7 the whole year. I can see that Shehu Sani has resumed work at Twitter. |

[color=#770077][/color] THE NHIS: THE UNTOLD STORY BY Adeyanju Demi "I never thought a day will come when I will have to agree with any decision Buhari has taken. On the NHIS thing, I regretfully have to admit that he was right. We had all condemned the reinstatement of the NHIS Boss who was accused of corruption. NHIS started functioning in 2005. It's 13yrs old this year. NHIS covers 3 million Nigerians. It’s about Health Care but, because of corruption, the agency has not performed well. Politicians turned NHIS into an ATM. Let Me Explain: HMOs -Health Maintenance ORG’s, all private companies owned by politicians, are the real problem of NHIS. They are middle men between NHIS and the hospitals. They have enthroned corruption to another level in the place. The HMOs receive money from NHIS on behalf of the people to pay hospitals so that Nigerians on the NHIS scheme can enjoy medical services, but they refuse to pay the hospitals and corner the money. NHIS gives the HMOs 3 months in advance to pay hospitals but they were not paying. What They Do With The NHIS Money: A. They fix it in banks to accrue interest. B. They buy forex And do trading with it. C. They take loans using it as collateral. When banks know you are getting massive funds from NHIS, they give you 10 times the amount in your account. So instead of the HMOs to pay the hospitals as agreed on time, they are heavily indebted to all hospitals nationwide, thereby crippling healthcare services nationwide. They owe National Hospital alone N400million. It’s A Major Cartel: There are 57 HMOs. They are the cartel at NHIS. They work hand in hand with every Minister of Health, Board Members, the Executive Secretary(EX) & politicians in government to run the place to the ground. Evidently, this new EX refused to play ball & they declared war on him. Someone early this year contacted me from NHIS that the EX is destroying the agency, etc and that they were appealing to my organization to come to their rescue. I told him I needed to do my due diligence but I never did. We all joined later to crucify the man. So just last week I coincidently ran into a friend that works at NHIS and he started briefing me of all the dirty things going on there. It’s really depressing. The things I heard made me wonder if this country can ever be great. I will explain all that is going on there. So this EX appointed by Buhari came and found out that there was massive corruption going on at NHIS & he wanted to stop it but the cartel “HMOs” declared war on him. The HMOs said he can’t stop the norm & teamed up with politicians in Buhari’s government to start fighting him. The HMOs got the support of the Board Chairman of NHIS and other members of the Board who are all politicians. Got the support of the Minister of Health & other politicians. What was the crime of this EX guy? He wanted to block where politicians are eating. The issue they had with the EX guys were: They were not paying hospitals. Many of their licenses had expired since 2013 & he was asking them to renew before they get disbursements of money, etc. One of the conditions the EX guy gave was that every HMOS must go to the hospitals to get a letter of non indebtedness signed by the CMD before they will get funds from the agency. The hospitals were happy with the new development but HMOs were unhappy. The NHIS is strategically important to Nigerians. In a working country, every citizen should be captured in the scheme. NHIS pays Federal, State & even private hospitals through HMOs. Nigerians on the scheme are the main beneficiaries. Many workers are on the scheme. NHIS also pay Military & Police hospitals nationwide. The police alone have over 800k officers and their dependents on the scheme. The Ministry of Health and politicians are the number 1 problem of NHIS in Nigeria. They use NHIS as an ATM. Because the EX guy stopped them, he was suspended on allegations of corruption which many of us believed because of media trial. EFCC then investigated him.The reason he was reinstated was because EFCC did not find him wanting according to my friend that works there. He said after his reinstatement, the EX guy became tougher on the HMOs and the Board & the Minister began to plot his removal again. The EX guy was just suspended again on the eve of delisting many unqualified HMOS. A Pre-emptive move by the NHIS Board & the Minister. The union is also on the payroll of the HMOs. The HMOs are the real cartel at NHIS. HMOs were angry that the EX instituted a forensic audit of NHIS finances. Audit discovered that N46billion of NHIS money were stashed away in different banks. These are people’s money. The HMOs say the EX is using EFCC, CBN, AG, Accountant General & Asset Recovery to fight them. Our national & State hospitals are under funded and many of them survive on the NHIS money. For instance, FMC Asaba got only about N18million from the budget last year & they require over N10million to power the hospital with diesel. So how will they survive without NHIS funding? So if the HMOs take money from NHIS and refuse to give the hospitals, they are destroying our health sector. The Union, the Board and the Ministry of Health should stop the rubbish they are doing to cripple our health sector. We @ConcernedNIG will come into this matter fully. |
Have you seen this? [10/20, 08:40] BM: OBASANJO ON TACKLING HIS POLITICAL ENEMY, ATIKU AND OTHERS “By the Constitution, I had to inaugurate or prorogue the National Assembly on June 4, 1999. The most important officer in the National Assembly is the senate president and that office had been zoned to the South-east. And here was where Atiku Abubakar, my vice-president, first showed his hand and his character. “Without seeking my view or approval, he started planning the installation of Chuba Okadigbo as the senate president. I did a background check on Chuba including his past as a student and made enquiries about him in the National Party of Nigeria (NPN) under (President Shehu) Shagari and no one would recommend him for the post of senate president. “I left Atiku to go on his chase while I carried out a meticulous and detailed investigation and background check on each senator from the South-east. The one that appeared most appoint-able was Evan Enwerem. I canvassed the senate across the board for his election and he was elected. Atiku did not expect it and he felt sore. “He began to strategise for Enwerem to be removed and Chuba Okadigbo to be installed. His strategy worked because I was at Abuja airport to receive a visiting head of state when the news reached me that the Senate had impeached Enwerem and elected Okadigbo. I was not perturbed. I came to understand from some senators including Florence Ita-Giwa, who later became my Special Adviser/ Liaison Officer to the National Assembly, that Atiku distributed US$5,000 each to some senators to carry out the ‘coup’. “That was the beginning of bribing the legislature to carry out a particular line of action to suit or satisfy the purpose or desire of an individual or a group. The National Assembly had tasted blood and they would continue to want more. From the day I nominated Atiku to be my vice, he set his mind not for any good, benefit or service of the country, but on furiously planning to upstage, supplant or remove me at all cost and to take my place. “That was what I brought him for, but he was impatient and over-ambitious. He was not ready to learn and to wait. His marabout, who predicted that despite being elected as governor, he would not be sworn in as a governor, which happened, also assured him that he would take over from me in a matter of months rather than years. “All his plans, appointments of people and his actions were towards the actualisation of his marabout’s prediction. Once I realised his intention and programme, I watched him like a hawk without giving any indication of what I knew and letting down my guard. I could not succumb to the distraction, diversion and malevolence of an ambitious but unwise deputy. “The work in hand was more important than a confrontational relationship with my deputy, a man over whom I knew I had far more experience and outreach in all matters. To alert him of what I knew he was up to, would only lead to lying, denial, more mischievous plans and more duplicity on his part. “He was better managed that way. What was important was not allowing myself to be surprised or outmanoeuvred by him. I must always seize the initiative and know what was going on if not in his mind, but at least in his camp. That I did very effectively. “Sometime in the fourth quarter of 2004, an associate of Atiku came to my residence at the Aso Villa from Atiku’s official residence. He felt uncomfortable and I tried to make him feel at ease. Then, he settled to tell me the story of what had just transpired in Atiku’s residence. I listened with rapt attention. “He went on to say that Atiku told him that for him to become the President of Nigeria, the 2007 elections were only a formality. “The seven ingredients he needed for his enthronement were already in his hands. He controlled the National Assembly because both the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives were in his pocket. He controlled twenty-eight out of thirty-six governors. He had control of the media. His influence over the judiciary was overwhelming. “What he needed was foreign endorsement and for that he had employed two lobby groups in the US and one in the UK. And finally, the money for the elections was in his purse. “When the man finished, I thanked him without passing any comment. The man was surprised at my reaction and asked, ‘You have nothing to say to these?’ I said that I had nothing to say and I immediately called my ADC, Chris Jemitola, to play a game of squash with me. “On our way to the squash court with my ADC, I said, ‘People at times make plans and leave God out of their plans.’ My casual remark struck Chris and he said, ‘Sir, that was a profound statement.’ I said that I made the statement because of what I had just heard of Atiku’s plan. I was not convinced he had put God in his plans. “Atiku was confident and God was laughing. Most of Atiku’s ingredients soon started to fall out of place one by one. The first was the party, PDP. “He thought I was powerless and had no clue about the execution of his plan with his group; part of his attack on me was for national chairman of the party to give the first salvo, then other things would follow as his grip on the party would be firm and consolidated. “That salvo came in the form of a letter to me from the chairman of the party, Audu Ogbeh, who had fully defected with (Iyorchia) Ayu to Atiku. “The letter, which was not the product of any issue or matter discussed with or at any party meeting, came suddenly. When I received it, I could read the sinister intention behind it. “I spent that night writing my reply and I sent it in the morning. My reply was clear. I wondered why Atiku and his group did not realise that with my reply, the battle line was clear or maybe they thought that the seven ingredients would remain intact to the end. “My assistants had moles within the Atiku group. Anything that they planned would be reported. That was the case after Ogbeh’s letter. They decided that Ogbeh should appear remorseful and come with the National Working Committee to apologise to me. It was not from their hearts, but to lure me to a ‘killing ground’. “All pieces of information that were reported were verified because it would not come from only one informant. “Timely information is a very important principle of war and also of politics. In politics, just as in war, what matters is not just your plan, but knowledge of your opponent’s plan. Knowing their plan, I had the choice of playing along with them or being firm, I chose the latter. “I told Ogbeh that my relationship with him as national chairman and me as national leader of the party was based on mutual confidence and trust. But with his letter, my reply and what I knew of him then, I could no longer work with him in confidence and trust. “There were only two choices left for both of us in our best interest and that of the party – he, leaves as chairman or I leave as leader of the party. “The following Sunday, I called at his house, which I had done on several occasions in the past when there was an important party matter to discuss. This time, I asked him to give me an undated letter of resignation as the national chairman. “I waited, he gave me but it was wrongly addressed to me rather than to the national secretary of the party as stipulated in the party’s constitution. “Ogbeh reported to his group and it was decided by them to play on and to wait for my disgrace whenever I presented a letter of resignation not addressed to the national secretary. “The informants did their job and I, once again, paid another visit to Ogbeh at his residence. He entertained me to a meal and drink, and changed the addressee on his letter of resignation. “It would appear he never reported the change to his group. When I considered it opportune and appropriate, the letter was dated and presented to National Executive Committee of the party, which regrettably accepted the resignation. “With that, whatever control Atiku claimed to have over the party began to crumble. But he did not think so and went on to boast that if I made my daughter the national chairman, it would be a matter of weeks not months before he would put her in his pocket. “I therefore had to look for a successor chairman, who would be too big, uncompromising and inflexible to be lured and controlled by Atiku. I found such a man in Senator (Dr.) Amadu Ali, whom I had known many years earlier as a medical doctor in the army…” Ethelbert Mbama Copied from John Okiyi "Atiku was not happy that he didn't steal enough when he was with Obasanjo. Maybe he didn't get enough licenses for his universities, or maybe he didn't get enough oil blocs for himself or probably didn't marry enough wives. "So, when they return, they're coming with vengeance; vengeance on our resources and our people. "Atiku is coming back to create a paradise for thieves and you can see the people who are excited about them. "They're either people who stole, who didn't steal enough last time, or people who are aspiring to become thieves, including Donald Duke. - Omoyele Sowore Presidential aspirant[color=#990000][/color] |
Airforce01:You will always be taken for a fool when you spread lies. Buhari has no daughter who is a director in NNPC, and all the rubbish you wrote are bloody lies. We know all Buhari’s daughters, we know where they are working and their grades consistent with their qualifications. In the past if you are the child of the president you don’t work but collect even more money than the NNPC boss. Now why don’t you name the daughter you are talking about and let the whole world know if you are not fake and a rumor monger? |
EdoBozz:One is lifeless and the other is a thief and they both Fulani herdsmen. It is your destiny, at least you have that choice. choose your best Fulani master. |
Sai Baba!

jamjo:Rubbish |
“Israel is a peaceful nation that believes in the process of the world at this changing times. That they have different religion such as: Judaism, Christianity and Islam that live peacefully with one another.”
|
The fight with the Minister continues. The Board fronting for the Minister this time. The fight is all about the money in NHIS and who should be chopping. Nothing to do with you and me. |
magoo10:Atiku is a liability for PDP and Obi a liability for Atiku certainly in the north. They have never forgotten the northerners’ livestock and vegetable markets demolished in Onitsha by Peter Obi and his decree that northerners had to carry ID cards in Anambra State. Even in Adamawa State they will never vote Atiku with a VP they see as hateful, certainly not in other parts of the north. |
Chu2k2:On the contrary, they are celebrating. Your cowardly leader has surfaced to divide you further from a safe distance. |
jamjo:All your argument was based on “failure” which you have not defined. And majority Nigerians may not necessarily accept your definition or agree with your conclusions. |
If facts should be spoken Atiku should be in the prison according to his boss OBJ. In prison in Nigeria or in the US where laundered millions of Dollars. |
myners007:All old men will die, yours and mine included, cause or no cause. |
“ I wonder what the next line of action would be for IPOB and its promoters since their leader had resurfaced in Jerusalem instead of one of the detention camps of the Nigeria Army. Would they bury their heads in shame? Would they issue an unreserved apology to their unsuspecting followers whom they had deceived into believing in a cause that had turned out to be a scam? All of these are questions that must be answered if we are sincere with our selves.” [b][/b] |
jamjo:1. They said Buhari is old so we expected them to present a 40 year old man or woman. Atiku is 71. 2. They said Buhari is a Muslim and preached against him in churches, they are now going for Atiku Abubakar who is a Muslim and has 3 wives. 3. They said Buhari is Fulani. Buhari is a Fulani whose first language is hausa and can hardly make one correct sentence in Fulani. But Atiku is a Fulani whose fist language is the Fulani language - his mother tongue. 4. They said Atiku is very rich and understands economics because he can make money without working for it, just from government coppers. 5. Atiku has been described as a criminal internationally and nationally, his boss OBJ has said that innumerable times on Audio on Video and in writing but instead of Atiku going to court to clear his name he went to Ota to beg for pardon. It is unbelievable that IPOBs and others like them are now Atiku boys and girls. |
A very cheap photoshop to make up for Atiku’s ban on travel to America. Can’t they find a suitable Trump picture? And who is that Lady ? She is certainly not Hilary not Monica Lewinsky not not Jennifer and not Titi.
|
magoo10:Jonathan? Intelligent You must be out of your mind
|
The mad man again. Who told him that Buhari will be defeated? Certainly not by Atiku who is well known to the electorate. Enjoy the ATIKULOOT for the next 3 months anyway. |
Oladipo1166:Okay NRTWU. |
naijapips02:Jonathan killed Shekau 3 times. Buhari has not claimed that so far |
kushercain:Just because you’re ignorant doesn’t mean everyone is daft. The president couldn’t save her but he had : 1. Sent a federal government delegation to condole with her family. 2. Spoken with the girl’s parents and offered his condolences and gave them an account of the effort the FGN put in but to no avail. 3. He cannot bring her back but there is obviously something FG is doing to ease some of the family’s suffering. |
Donald95:Don’t be such a hypocrite. We know you are celebrating her death. Ever wonder when and how yours will come? |
Earthbound:I have seen professors from the south writing “bothers on” when they mean “boarders on” and “ in other to” when they mean “in order to “. They have serious problems with the “th” sound Juan’s to as some northerners have with “p”and “f.” Your graduates on the streets will make even more silly mistakes. |
Bane2020:You have also committed a crime by assuming that I am Afonja. ![]() |
Whether they are pastors, politicians, lawyers, businessmen they must bring crime into it. They are cursed. |
Bane2020:Fantastic people, if only they will stop their international crimes and drugs peddling and embrace love for humanity and civilized behavior. |
And who is this Olawepo if I may ask? |
Fierce11:IPOBs will never see this as God fearing and good example for a civilized society, because crime is acceptable in their culture. You will remember that Mutallab in Kaduna had reported the attitude of his son (UMar Abdumutallab) to both Nigerian Security and to the American Embassy long before he absconded and later attempted to blow up a passenger plane. |
Atiku and 80% of the PDP Port Harcourt delegates come to mind and of course Ganduje. |
