Buhari doing what he knows best.
Jailing new born igbos.
Someone should remind him of the king that did that during the birth of Jesus and the link between Jews and igbos... so history won’t repeat itself

So in your deranged mind criminal Igbo women should just have babies to avoid prison sentences.

Obasanjo on Atiku
[color=#990000][/color]
"I settled for Atiku Abubakar. Some of the reasons were he worked hard for the project, he never indicated interest in the job to me, he had worked closely with Shehu Yar'Adua and Shehu never passed any adverse comment on him,he had been elected as a Governor which already put him on the pedestal to move up politically, but he had been short- changed in the election that would have put M.K.O.Abiola in power, and he seemed to have some national outreach.
What I did not know, which came out glaringly later, was his parental background which was somewhat shadowy, his propensity to corruption, his tendency to disloyalty, his inability to say and stick to the truth all the time,a propensity for poor judgment, his belief and reliance on marabouts , his lack of transparency, his trust in money to buy his way out on all issues and his readiness to sacrifice morality, integrity, propriety truth and national interest for self and selfish interest.
May be some of these traits and poor attributes are not easy to see until you work with the person concerned. And those who should tell would keep quite so that they would not be accused of running others down .
For instance until later, when a distinguished chief from Bauchi pointed out to me the value of pedigree, queried Atiku's pedigree and blamed me for making a wrong choice, I did not pay attention to Atiku's parental background.
Furthermore until all efforts to help Atiku change had failed- and having stumbled upon a report of inquiry carried out on him- I asked one of my predecessors why he did not inform me of how bad the report was and he said that he though I knew.
He said, " This was a man I wanted to dismiss and jail but for the intervention of Shagaya and Shehu Yar'Adua. ". I took him at face value. However if his appointment was an error, I fully accepted responsibility for the genuine mistake.
And knowing all that I discovered about him, what would have been an unpardonable mistake and sin against God would have been to foist him on Nigeria."

Make your choice

NaijaRoyalty:
They are Nigerians, it's their money , their sweat , they worked for it.

Nothing special

The government has to pay them their wage because they worked for it .

The bible says "A worker deserves his wages"

The government should not use this to score useless points .

But the PDP government never thought it was worthwhile. Instead they distributed huge sums of security money for election bribes. That was wickedness in its extreme. Bring them back at your peril.

abbey621:
I know you are attracted to living in poverty but many people are not like you, many dreams, talents and destiny have been destroyed by your delusional freedom. Personally for me, I've made my money, I have my investments inside and outside of Nigeria, save your preaching for your mentally and physically enslaved brothers and sisters

Only a weakliing like you feels he cannot compete and make money in Nigeria and he has to go and sweep streets abroad.

Donbrig:
Exactly why we need Atiku to take over in 2019. We cannot continue to live like slaves in our own country. Buhari has never established a business or written a book, how would he know anything about economy. I hope and pray Atiku choses Adesina from South West, so we can handle Osinbajo's influence in SW and get their huge voters supports. South East should understand the battle to rescue our dying nation, and we can all talk about regions after the rescue. And I believe South East will still handle critical positions under Atiku's administration.

In Atiku’s time as VP the Nigerian Educational institutions deteriorated to an abysmal low, while Atiku built a multi million dollar private university affordable only to the richest Nigerians. That is how his economy works. If he becomes president we have to be ready to have the country mortgaged to him.

abbey621:
It's better to live and die slaves while earning foreign currency than to live and die in our country where cows have more value than human lives

You are now thinking like a cow, you should work towards changing your country. It’s never easy but you must value your freedom.

abbey621:
Nigerians in diaspora would prefer to die a beggar in diaspora than to deal with spiritual, physical and mental slavery here in Nigeria. You call 55 million Naira but how many Nigerians in diaspora will ever save such an amount? How many Nigerians lliving in 9ja will ever save up to 10 million in their lifetime? Forget all these yahoo boys and entertainers making it seems easy, majority of Nigerians were born poor, lives poor and will die poor.

Majority of those in diaspora live as slaves and will die as slaves. This was just one of them.

The truth;

Afamed:
The Obj I know will never support Atiku, SR is trying to draw a battle line between the two.

OBJ is between the Devil (Atiku) and the Deep Sea ( Buhari), He has to chose between his two enemies. Perhaps he will go for the Devil

tiwiex:
The number of likes you have says it all. Na ur opinion.

Nairaland is full of IPOBs and misguided wailers who hate the truth.

Brazenbabe:
Unseating Buhari in 2019 is a project that all forward thinking Nigerians should unite towards , regardless of ethnicity, religion or party.
There are no permanent friends or enemies in politics.

Nonsense, the criminal party PDP can never rule us again.

HungerBAD:
The APC Senators should leave Saraki alone.

We have but some few months before his tenure is over,and I honestly see no gain to Nigeria or Nigerians changing the house leadership 10 Minutes to the end of the match.

The APC Senators should stop being petty,and get their priorities right.

They should impeach Saraki the loser selfish hypocrite.

genternity:
My dear Presido.,
Lets Aticulate 9ja.

More like Athiefuculate.

JasonScoolari:
The KING is seated on His Throne.

More pains for the "Opposition Party" the APC.

God bless Distinguished Sen. Bukky Saraki.
God bless Wike
God bless Atiku Abubakar
God bless Chief James Onanefe Ibori
God bless the PDP.

I don’t know which god you are supplicating to. The true God will not bless these rogues and criminals.

AnanseK:
“The long arm of the law caught Zubair when the children of one Major General Geoffrey Ejiga (retd) petitioned the EFCC alleging that a syndicate of fraudsters took advantage of their father's old age to defraud him of over N180million.”

Where were the children when the father was been screwed by fraud stars?

“The long arm of the law caught Zubair when the children of one Major General Geoffrey Ejiga (retd) petitioned the EFCC alleging that a syndicate of fraudsters took advantage of their father's old age to defraud him of over N180million.”

Good, Despite his magnamity to the SE , Buhari is not expecting more than the token 5% from that misguided region. For Atiku to take an Igbo VP will make him lose some of his potential supporters in the North. This arrangement suits APC very well.

Sai Buhari!

Zansu007:
For real, this apc guys ain't ready for power always acting like the opposition.

What they don't know is Nobody is against Buhari because of religion!
Yar'adua was a Muslim (we all loved him)

Nobody is against Buhari because of ethnicity!
Yar'adua was Hausa-Fulani (we loved him)

Nobody is holding Buhari's sickness against him!
Yar'adua was sick (we all prayed for him)

Nobody is asking Buhari to perform magic of transformation
Yar'adua did not perform magic, he took little steps in the right direction that endeared him to us.

There was global recession in 2007-2009, one man came, saved us from the crisis. Saved Billions of Dollars for Nigeria, increased salaries, reduce pump price. I don’t know how he did it when he was sick, and he didn’t blame anyone. His name is Umaru Musa Yar’adua.
Take the right principles and everything will be right.

Lies, lies, lies, you never loved Yar Adua. You all wanted him dead and you celebrated when he died.

Good, they will only undermine Atiku and thus making the sailing much easier for Buhari.

Shuku0kukobambi:
That's why they like Fayose and Wike. They don't pretend so I don't know why they're vexing now

Atiku is a master negotiator and he doesn't mind sharing. I'm sure he'll find a way to accommodate Wike if Wike will agree

Yes, shares Dollars like rain, he knows that he will recover all and build more Private Universities while destroying the nation’s educational system even further. Shine your eyes my brothers and sisters Atiku is a businessman and his source of capital has always been the government.

franchasng:
PDP will win Buhari if:

1.) Buhari organizes a free and fair election in 2019 like Goodluck did without repeating what happened in Osun and Ekiti States!

2.) Kwankwaso will throw his Kwankwasiya supporters behind Atiku

3.) Tambuwal will rally his caliphate supporters to work honestly with Atiku

4.) Saraki will throw his weight to still support Atiku

Atiku has won South south, Southeast and Middlebelt already.

The only regions he needs to focus on winning now is his own Northeast and Southwest.

But of course, Yoruba people will definitely vote Buhari just to spite Igbos, but who cares

If Buhari finally rigs the election as planned and wins, both Igbos, Hausas, Ijaws, Idomas, Binis and Yorubas will suffer it together.

For the sake of strengthening our democracy and passing a strong message to incoming presidents that they need to perform to win reelection, Nigerians really need to rally together and vote Buhari out no matter what!

Yorubas need to wake up!

Vice Presidential slot is nonsense!

Don't sell your future because of ordinary VP slot that have no say in government!!!

Wake up!

Support Atiku let's teach Buhari and other incoming presidents a lesson and make Nigeria stronger and united!!

He is not just a vice presidential slot. Osinbajo is the next President after Buhari’s second term in 2023. Please wake up, and if your are thinking of Igbo Presidency in Nigeria, that will not be in this century.

Rubbish. The confused Pastor can add more value to the nation than just making silly nonsensical prophesies.

They are crying because the military is draining their pond of blood where they dump all people they slaughtered and the cars and buses. They have to find new ponds now to deposit who they murder.

diebuhari1:
Some of you don't get it, it's not about Buhari being Fulani or Muslim, it is about him being a tribal jingoist and religious extremist. It has shown in his appointments, handling of Fulani herdsmen's atrocities, and his criticism of the former government for killing Boko haram members.
Atiku is a moderate Muslim and also detribalized

Yes, I know that the tune will change. With the label of Fulani Jihadist attached to Buhari , it would be difficult to sell Atiku who is also a Fulani Northerner. Now they have to invent a new name for Buhari.

Atiku took his dollars to APC primary came a lowly 3rd position in 2014.

He took same to PDP primary in 2018 & bought everything.

*Can you spot the difference?*

AllTheWayUp:
God bless Atiku

If he becomes president, Nigeria plus you and me will be his next private investments.

OldBeer:
Please I am hearing rumours that Atiku is Fulani.
Is it true?

If it is true, does it mean that ______ are Fulani slaves?

Yes, go ahead and say it. Our eastern brothers have chosen their own Fulani Master.

Afonjas can’t have the monopoly of being Fulani slaves.

slivertongue:
PDP has truly changed her ways...

2019 is loaded wit surprises...

At least the highest bidder won. You can’t give $5,000.00 to each of over 3200 delegates and expect to lose, when other ar3 giving out only $1000.00 . PDP will never change.

At least the highest bidder was elected, so it was a good auction election. How can they be giving delegates $1000 each and then expect to win when Atiku gives $5000.00 to each candidate?

PDP is still PDP ( Peoples Deceiving the Populace).
