Politics / Still On Sowore's Failed Revolution by arewaproudly: 8:48pm On Aug 06, 2019
Dr Nura Alkali wrote:

Sowore's call to revolution is as stupid as it sounds. Revolt at what? The presidency which Sowore contested and lost woefully few months ago? The NASS elected by Nigerians to represent their varied interests? Or the Judiciary, which interprets the law and arbitrates conflicts between the people and the government?

We are in 2019, not 1959 when the likes of Che Guevara, Fidel Castro and co. would chant "freedom for the masses" to deceive gullible citizens and topple elected governments, only to begin oppressing the same citizens through petty dictatorships they call socialism. .

African and Arab revolutionaries are even worse. Once in power, they play ethnic politics, loot the national treasury and resist all attempts at nurturing democracy. It takes another revolution - or death - to remove them from office. The inevitable aftermath is chaos, as we now see in DR Congo after Mobutu, Libya after Gaddafi and Somalia after Siad Barre. .

So, no thanks to Sowore's revolution. There are two legal ways of removing a government: through impeachment by the national assembly, and at the ballot box during elections. Any other way is invitation to chaos. Ask the Syrians, who revolted against Bashar Assad and ended up with ISIS. Ask the Libyans who have lacked a government since 2011.

competing with Buhari in the North is like carrying a stick to fight a man with a gun .
ATIKU was aware of the above and he hoped the South-South and South-East will bail him out.

the moment i saw the votes trickling out of the SS/SE I knew it was game over. key buhari states of kano, katsina, bauchi and Kaduna were pumping a million votes , while SS/SE States were sending in less than 400thousand.

which magic can Atiku use to win . for me the elections are over !!!!!. and Atiku lost clean and clear.
let him forget his Server campaign cos it cant fly.

Politics / Iijaw Youths Disown Cjn Onnoghen As They Refuse To Celebrate Corruption by arewaproudly: 2:32pm On Jan 27, 2019
IJAW YOUTHS DIS-OWN SUSPENDED CJN WALTER ONNOGHEN SAY NIGER DELTANS DO NOT CELEBRATE CORRUPTION

Youths from Ijaw speaking part of South-South Region, under the aegis of United Niger Delta Youth Council, have described the suspension of Justice Walter Onnoghen, as the Chief Justice of Nigeria, by President Muhammadu Buhari, as apt, timely and welcome development.
The President of the youth group, Jackson Bob- Manuel stated this on Saturday at a press conference. He called on the embattled jury to face the law and stop looking for sympathy.

“We are of the opinion that Justice Walter Onnoghen having risen to the exalted position of Chief Justice of Nigeria should have exhibited a high level of decency in his conduct as the number one Judicial Officer in the country.

“It is, therefore, inexcusable for a man of such high standing to feign ignorance to the law as regards the declaration of assets in the country under the Code of Conduct Act. And if that is the case, then such a person is not fit to hold the exalted position of Chief Justice of Nigeria. We also wish to use this medium to state that corruption as a social vice knows no tribe, race or religion.

"It is a cankerworm that has eaten deep into the fabric of the Nigerian society over the years, and so, therefore, those that using the suspension of Justice Walter Onnoghen to wipe up ethnic and religious sentiments should desist from such acts as they cannot cry more than the bereaved.

“Justice Walter Onnoghen a Niger Delta son that is supposed to serve as a role model to us has indeed failed woefully and brought shame and disgrace to the people of the Niger Delta region. When they steal government funds and buy choice properties for themselves and their families, they are Mr. A or Mr. B., but when they are caught, they become Niger Deltans who are suffering political persecution.

“The United Niger Delta Youth Council says enough is enough of this treachery by political allies from the Niger Delta region. They must be held responsible for their actions and inactions as regards their conduct in office. And the case of Justice Walter Onnoghen should not be politicized to look like ethnic persecution.

“The fact remains that he failed to declare some of his assets as stipulated by the law and so, therefore, he has committed an offense which requires that he faces the full wrath of the law. And as the number one law officer in the country, he should know better. The United Niger Delta Youth Council frowns at the insinuations coming from certain quarters that the government persecutes justice Walter Onnoghen. While this is far from the truth, it is merely an attempt to cover up for a crime that was committed and deceive the public.

“The United Niger Delta Youth Council, therefore, calls on all Niger Delta Sons and Daughters in Nigeria and the Diaspora to disown Justice Walter Onnoghen how has brought nothing but shame to us as a people. When he filled his accounts with dollars and pounds, he wasn’t a Niger Deltan. When he refused to provide educational assistance to scores of needy people, he wasn’t a Niger Deltan. When he bragged like he was a mini-god, he wasn’t a Niger Deltan.

“But now that his atrocities have come out to the open, he is now a Niger Deltan. We the United Niger Delta Youths Council rejects such hypocrisy and would never be a part of such all on the name of ethnicity and religion.”

Politics / Peter Obi And PDP Fooling Atiku by arewaproudly: 11:35pm On Dec 10, 2018
FREEZING OF PETER OBI'S ACCOUNTS -
PETER OBI AND PDP MAY BE TAKING ATIKU FOR A RIDE.
�PDP has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of freezing Peter Obi's account. JOKERS!.
Nigerians know that the role of the President of Nigeria does not include freezing of citizens' accounts.

�Since EFCC and ICPC, two of Nigeria's Anti graft agencies have denied freezing the accounts of Peter Obi and members of his family, it must be President Buhari who froze he Obi accounts! Yeah right!

Let's try this:

�Atiku needed a rich Running Mate. And I mean, stupendously rich.

�Peter Obi packaged and presented himself as wealthier than Sen. Ike Ekweremadu, Dr. Soludo, etc.

�Peter Obi, after seeing 3 failed PDP Presidential Zonal Rallies in Sokoto, Ilorin and Ibadan, is now developing cold feet.

�The over N12b advanced Atiku by a major Nigerian Banker, went to Vultures in PDP who have done him a Jonathan by pocketing the funds.

�Atiku turns to his wealthy Partner, Peter Obi. He asked him to "shake body" but Peter Obi "no dey drop".

� Peter Obi and his ally, Uche Secondus hatched a plan to cry wolf where there's none. Notice thst no Agency was mentioned in their wolf cry, so Buhari was a convenient name to drop.

�So Uche Secondus announced to the nation that the Bank accounts of Gregory Peter Obi and his family, have been sealed by Pres. Muhammadu Buhari.

�"Good job my boy. We can't let Peter put his money in a hole" said Gov. Nyesom Wike to Secondus.

�My grandmother taught me that hose who do not learn from other people's experiences, are unwise.

�Atiku is unwise. He did not learn from the Goodluck Jonathan experience of 2015.

�Peter Obi is wise. He won't put his money in a bottomless pit. So he gets the PDP Lying machinery to support his wisdom.

�Igbo Kwenu! Kwenu! Nigeria Kwe sue my oooo

God Bless Nigeria

Politics / Re: Why Living Faith Church Hates Buhari by arewaproudly: 9:21pm On Oct 16, 2018
You all can continue with your hate speeches,
Let truth be told guys ! Where was Oyedepo when BH were bombing churches during GEJ's tenure.
Why was he mute when people were being bombed and massacred on a daily basis?

Check your conscience all you haters .
Can Living Faith truly justify owning 4planes ?
Why did the church trim down the number of planes in its fleet ?
Reason , think and think my fellow Nairalanders !
Don't allow hate blur your senses
Politics / Why Living Faith Church Hates Buhari by arewaproudly: 6:40am On Oct 16, 2018
On August 2011, the Government of GEJ gave a comprehensive concession to Living Faith Church AKA Winners chapel to pack 4 private jets belonging to the church free of charge in any of the airports in the country. An import waiver was also issued by the former government to Living Faith Church. This guaranteed that the ministry paid next to nothing on whatever they import into the country.

This concession was revoked by the FG on Feb. 2016 and import waiver canceled. The church unable to meet up with the huge charges being accumulated on packing fees for 4 private jets, sold off two of the jets by July 2016.

We may now understand why Bishop David Oyedepo never sees anything good in this present government just because this government insisted on things being done properly.

For me, why should multi-billion naira mega cooperate churches be given concessions and import waivers when small legitimate business are made to pay through their nose whenever they import? In the same way, why should companies like Dangote, Bua group, Milan ground, Golden Penny enjoy concessions and import waivers when these companies make billions in profit after tax?

I always have the opinion that 90% of the accidental billionaires we have in this country are living on government concessions and waivers. Take that away from them and they will be like every one of us.

Concession and waiver agreements were abused by the former government as was revealed by 2016 Senate Ad hoc committee on import duty waivers which revealed that the FG from lost between 2011 to 2015 N447.42bn through fraudulent concessions and waivers. Consequently to this report, the present government canceled all forms of import waivers in 2016 and some organizations made to pay the FG what they owe the government.

We may now understand how Nigeria’s custom was able to remit N1trn in 2017. All these policies and checkings created enemies for BUHARI’s government. People who have been ripping off the country for years being asked to pay the right fees for their imports, automatically made them enemies of Buhari and his government.

Truly, this government is fighting for the masses and that’s why we have less and less accidental billionaires under this government. The free monies have dried up.

You just cannot beat Northern politicians and their followers..Their cooperation and solidarity is the only reason why they keep returning to power. Down south, the center hardly hold, everyone is a god and never submissive.

Southerners in their attempt at playing tribal card with HERDSMEDIA pointing accussing fingers at Buhari has finally succeeded in activating intense love in the hearts of Northerners for Buhari. They now see every move from south against Buhari as a demonic move against the entire people of North. The religious card southerners also played has ended up infuriating non hausa/fulani muslims everywhere in Nigeria, especially with the incessant negative outbursts of CAN and other bodies.

The political environment is now highly saturated and already heated up, the game is no longer partisan but a pure case of NORTH vs SOUTH, CHRISTIANS vs MUSLIMS. The stratagem of smearing Buhari's name has now proven to be counter productive as the aims and objectives has effectively ended up in his favour. Fani Kayode realised this in time and admitted that Buhari's followership is cult-like even in the face of calumny and tantrums.

Some minority groups that hitherto threatened lime and brimestones now see developments and projects moving towards their communities, especially roads and hoping to see more has now jettisoned all forms of agitation and uprising with their mouths now full of praises for Buhari.

All plans and strategies to dislodge PMB has continued to hit the rocks thereby making his return effortless. Buhari should thank conspiracy theorists, tribal and religious bigots all over the country, liars and deceivers, herdsmedia, those who are professionals in quoting his statements out of context, looters fighting hard to retain their loots ect for making his second term bid and victory a REALITY!

Politics / Ty Danjuma's Untidy Campaign Against Pmb by arewaproudly: 9:18pm On Jun 07, 2018
TY DANJUMA'S UNTIDY INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGN AGAINST PRESIDENT BUHARI - Maiwada Dammallam

A careful observation of events in the country would reveal a sustained effort by some powerful forces to tarnish the image of President Buhari. Needless to say, the motive is to truncate his 2019 ambition for re-action and allow a corruption-compliant candidate to take over from him and allow the continuation of the "owambe" they know best how to dance.

A recent report revealed that the former Minister of Defence, General TY Danjuma (Rtd) has taken his protest against killings in the North Central region of Nigeria to the United States. One is left wondering what Danjuma is protesting for even if one ignore the logic of carrying his so called "protest" to the USA. Only recently TY Danjuma made weighty allegations against the Nigerian Army which the Army, in the spirit of transparency and out of respect for a retired senior colleague, set up a probe panel that investigated the allegations and made its findings public.

Funny enough, when the panel invited TY Danjuma, the author of the allegations, to come and shed more light on the allegations, he simply went missing only to resurface in USA peddling same frivolous lies. I don't want to believe that Danjuma is so senile to grasp that the solution to his real and imaginary problems are here in Nigeria and not in the hands of phantom NGO's domiciled in the USA which, by the way, are mostly business partners to unscrupulous Nigerians or partly sustained with part of loot stolen from Nigeria.

Why was TY Danjuma shy to face the panel set up by the Army to investigate his allegations yet comfortable fly half across the globe in search of solution for a non-existent problem? That he flies in the comfort of his private jet doesn't make it sensible for an old man like Danjuma to embark on such a long trip for a solution that was placed at his doorsteps by the Nigerian Army. I don't buy it! The motive was to create a phantom image of a crisis-ridden Nigeria just to distract the international community away from the laudable achievements of President Buhari and deny him the support he's enjoying from the community.

At his age and status, one could easily assume TY Danjuma is passed the level of resolving conflicts by relying on only one part of the story. Apparently he is not. His absolute silence about the achievements recorded by the Nigerian Army in reducing the capacity of Boko Haram from a formidable force that was in total control of the North East and some parts of the North West, into a decimated force with minimum capacity of attacking only soft targets should expose the mischief in his fake advocacy.

By the way, Danjuma was never in the USA to cry for the killings in Borno, Yobe, Adamawa and Kano back in the days of the previous administration even when he should know the war against Boko Haram was the biggest business of the time as the $2.3bn arms scandal of the administration has proved beyond reasonable doubt. What are his worries now that the Army is reorganized and reorientated to function professionally and in line with global standards?

That he took Governor Darius, his lapdog, on the trip was another gimmick to give the futile effort some semblance of credibility. I'm sure he will not tell the "Yankees" that Darius was there as a lackey not as an independent participant. Also, he won't tell them that back home in Nigeria, Governor Darius is seen as complicit in the killings he went to USA to blame President Buhari. That Governor Darius, according to findings of the Army panel, made several attempts to remove the Commanding Officer of 93 Battalion, Lieutenant Colonel IB Gambari from command for his refusal to be dragged into the state politics and, an equally damning report of the Chairman of Takum LGA, Shiban Tikari's several attempts to undermine the authority of the Commanding Officer 93 Bn through some officers of the unit, ordinarily, should be TY Danjuma's worries. If he's a gentleman, he shouldn't delete this evidential narrative from presentation to the international community.

Of course, TY Danjuma isn't aware of a letter written by the Attorney General of Taraba State, Yusufu Akirinkwen, to the state’s Commissioner of Police, Yakubu Babas, asking the police to release suspects in the June 2017 killings in a community in Mambilla, Sardauna Local Government Area of the State, otherwise he wouldn't drag Governor Darius halfway across the globe in a phantom search for a solution the walk around with in their pockets. A significant number of Taraba citizens believe TY Danjuma and Governor Darius are complicit (actively or passively) in the senseless killings being perpetrated in the State. For the two to go to USA to shed crocodile tears defies logic and any sense of reasoning.

The invitation extended to the USA by TY Danjuma to empower civil society to confront atrocities in Nigeria only added another dimension to the mischievous scheme to paint President Buhari black and deny him the benefit of international respect. That the campaign was taken to the USA only exposed a desperation to counter the praises lavished on President Buhari by President Trump. By the way, was Danjuma under the assumption that Trump's acknowledgement of President Buhari's achievements was spontaneous and not arrived at through verifiable, positive and unbiased narratives?

Danjuma's latching on the imaginary credibility of Amnesty International to execute a campaign against President Buhari is the worst assault to the collective sensibility of Nigerians. Like Transparency International, AI has been exposed for the tool it is in the hands of desperate politicians. Countless NGOs including Global Peace and Life Rescue Initiative, Coalition of Civil Society Groups against Terrorism in Nigeria, Coalition in Defence of Sovereignty and Human Rights and Save Africa Group and others too numerous to mention had, at different times protested against the continued presence of AI in Nigeria. Of particular interest was the protest by Coalition of Civil Society Groups against Terrorism in Nigeria which was to challenge AI for spending a whooping N10bn to sponsor its sinister motive to undermine the nation’s national security and destabilized efforts at eradicating all forms of terror and separatist activities.

No Nigerian would take Amnesty International serious after these allegations. Same goes to Transparency International. TI recently released a report that the war against corruption was neither successful nor sincere. This TI did without acknowledging the hundreds of billions retrieved from people that looted the treasury and without naming a single person arrested or taken to court without reasonable course to so. Just as much, TI failed to mention a single person that is given cover by the administration when there's reasonable ground to process him/her judicially. One should expect an institution like Transparency International not to build opinion on shallow media allegations but, their close association with Obasanjo is enough to say where they are coming from and where they are going.

Politics / Buhari And Lazy Nigerian Yoiths :truth Versus Politics by arewaproudly: 10:47am On Apr 22, 2018
Hello house
I have just watched and listened to what PMB said from YouTube

https://m.youtube.com/watch?sns=fb&v=OQOAa-G1vV8

I did not hear the word *Lazy*.
He says with 60% of population too many are not educated and that is the root of false sense of entitlement that is my understanding. He was addressing critical problems against investment, he addressed security first and talked about how Boko Haram had destroyed the NE. Why are people not saying he demarketed the NE?.

If you watched this video and heard the word "lazy" go and get hearing aids. If you disagree with the president and the answer he gave to the question put to him (remember he is talking about impediments to investments he met) then i believe you are INSINCERE. if you have hosted a debate on this on your platform without actually listening to the speech and have run your mouth typically like a "know all" you are a big part of Nigeria's problem. If you think the President should not speak at the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting so he doesn't speak "more abroad" than at home, you are a clown.

Here is the statement, tell me where he insulted the youth.�

Politics / 2019: Let The Other Aspirants Run Away by arewaproudly: 10:03pm On Apr 09, 2018
2019: Let the others simply run away

By FEMI ADESINA

There are two options for those in contention for the presidency in 2019: run, or run away. Now that President Muhammadu Buhari has indicated his intention to run, dwarfs trying to wear a giant's shoes should simply run away. The cat has returned from a journey, let the rats scamper for safety.

Show clean pairs of heels? But this is a democracy! Everybody is free to run in the direction he or she fancies. True. So, what I've said is mere advice, which they can take, or choose not to take. Nigerians will decide early next year. The greater the challenge, the sweeter the victory.

I have always said it privately and in public. If President Muhammadu Buhari decides to run for a second term in 2019, I would support him. It doesn't matter whether I am in government or not. For some of us, the man Buhari is a conviction, a resolution, a man to admire and adore since 1984, when he became military head of state.

Is he perfect? Show me the man who is. Is he running a perfect government? Show me the government which is. Is he sincere? Very. Does he love the country? Dearly. Will he take Nigeria to the Promised Land? As the good Lord helps. And he is on the way there. Does he need more time? Sure, he does. The rot was too much, benumbing.

Nigeria is doing a lot more with a lot less today. There was a time we were awash with money. Oil sold for as high as $120 dollars per barrel, and we produced up to two million barrels per day. For many years. But we had no roads, no electricity, no health care, no security, nothing. The money was simply looted. They sat round the table, as if gathered for lunch, and hundreds of billions of dollars were shared.

Now, after oil prices crashed to as low as 30 dollars per barrel in 2015, and currently oscillates between 50 and 60 dollars, Nigeria is doing great things. Electricity has been taken to over 7,000 megawatts, from the inherited 3,000. The economy is now being truly diversified, after five decades of lip service. Agriculture is now the second biggest thing after oil, and is poised to become number one in the not too distant future. Farmers, in their millions, now smile to the banks. The farmer is now king. He sends himself on pilgrimage to Mecca or Jerusalem, paying his own way. Those who want more wives among them have even taken. And not on credit. Lol.

With income standing at about 60% less than what we used to earn, N1.3 trillion was spent on capital in 2016. The 2017 budget will close with about the same amount being expended on capital projects. Simply because you have a honest man in leadership. Not that corruption has been wiped out, no, but it has been drastically curbed. And anyone serving with the man knows that stealing is now corruption. When fish rots, it starts from the head. But we now have a head that shows the way. Mai Gaskiya. The Honest Man. Shine the light, and people will find the way.

How about our foreign reserves? They say we should stop talking about the past, and simply face the future. So that Nigerians would not be reminded of how they ran the country into a hole? With oil at its highest prices for many years, what they left in foreign reserves was a miserly $29.6 billion. It dropped to as low as $24 billion about a year ago, because of collapsed oil prices. But then, by divine mercies, prices began to inch up in the international market. It reached $60 per barrel, just about half of what they earned for many years. We cut unbridled importation of what can be produced locally. Prudence became the watchword. And foreign reserves now stand at over $46 billion. Why? Simply because the money is not being pocketed by those in power, as it once happened.

And then, some voodoo priests came: don't run for a second term. Give way to younger people. Take a well deserved rest. Blah blah blah. As if they were the beginning and end of democracy. The motive was simple: we must dissuade this man from running, so that he wouldn't become the greatest ever Nigerian leader. He must not become the authentic national hero. All types of cards were being flashed, yellow, green, red, purple, as if they had become emergency referees. But President Buhari kept his peace. No abuse for abuse, no railing for railing. When you are in the marketplace, you concentrate on the person you are transacting a deal with, and ignore the noise of the market. Now, the Tower of Babel has been resoundingly ignored, and democracy will be the victor.

Early next year, Nigerians will decide what they want. Go ahead on the journey to Canaan, a land flowing with milk and honey, or go back to Egypt, a land of eternal bondage, and excruciating pains? Nigerians will do it again. They will freely elect the leader they want, without pandering to ethnic, religious, and other primordial sentiments being currently whipped up. There will be no doomsday, as the election will be free and fair. No wuru-wuru or mago-mago under Buhari's watch, no matter what. A man that swears to his own hurt.

Nigerians, President Buhari is on the march again. For the sake of our tomorrow and the ages to come, for the sake of our children and generations yet unborn, let's do it again.

Politics / Face-off Between Magu And Finance Minister Kemi Adeosun Over Recovered Loot by arewaproudly: 12:24pm On Mar 29, 2018
Reports cedited to vigi360 an online news site indicate that there is fresh crisis between the Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun and the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu, over the amount of monies recovered by the EFCC . Whereas Magu claims to have recovered over N500billion since 2015, Adeosun differed on the figure insisting her Ministry was only informed of 91billion naira. She consequently wondered the wherabouts of the remaining balance.

According to the report, ADEOSUN subsequently queried Magu requesting him to clarify the cash recoveries in a query, with reference number FMF/HMF/EFCC/S-EFCC-REC/2018/1.
The question that readily comes to mind at this juncture is ; why is the presidency shielding Magu? . This is moreso as it is obvious MAGU is at war with all the key players of the administration;

Magu has not been open to the Finance Minister in his cash recoveries
 Magu is at loggerhead with the minister of justice over the constitutionality of most of his actions
 Magu is at logger heads with the the DGSS over the report to the senate that denied him (magu) confirmation
 Magu is fighting members of the National assembly for their refusal to confirm him
 Magu is having a running battle with core staff of the EFCC , who accuse him of insubordinating them to policemen seconded to the Commission
 Magu is not happy with principal staff of the EFCC who leaked his misappropriation of N750million, special funds allocated to the commission by VP Yomi Osinbajo, while president buhari was away on sickleave at the UK
 ……………… To mention but a few


Who is shielding magu? Is he not a burden to the buhari administration? Is it that there are no other good policemen to occupy the post or what?

Politics / PMB Versus The Untouchables by arewaproudly: 9:16am On Mar 27, 2018
PMB strikes and the untouchables are scared! To mention but few...
-PMB denied Obj access to Mambila Hydro project, Obj believed he will always have his way in Nigeria, but PMB said no, Obj wrote a so called damning letter
-Hadiza Bala of NPA indicted Atiku's Intel company, and sucked out billions of naira which he short changed Nigeria, Atiku became wild and checked out of APC, and began to shout anyhow.
-EFCC attempted to confiscate 13 foreign assets of Ekweremadu, which were acquired illegally, Ekweremadu invited military coup on the NASS floor.
- Hadiza Bala of NPA now indicts TY Danjuma's NAL' COMET agency, and want extract some billions of naira, which he shortchanged the country in the 30 years of its operation, Mr TY declared for civil unrest that will result to Anarchy.

Watch closely, if PMB decided to run, and eventually win 2019 election, most of the corrupt top shots, who held the country to ransom and believed they were untouchables, might die from frustration.
With the recent development and the dielemma of the ruling elites, we all agree the business is now not as usual.

WHY PRESIDENT BUHARI IS UNBELIEVABLE
Many people are saying the Dapchi saga is UNBELIEVABLE. Well, I go with them. Everything about Buhari has been unbelievable for a very long time.
Even history accords him that UNBELIEVABLE respect.
It was unbelievable when PMB killed Maitatsine terrorism in 1980.
It was unbelievable when he killed Makiniki at the Cameroun border in 1981.
It was unbelievable when he built our first set of refineries as Petroleum Minister.
It was unbelievable when he won the 2015 presidential election.
It was unbelievable when he silenced IPOB.
It was unbelievable when we stopped hearing of Niger Delta militants.
It was unbelievable when he reduced and decimated boko haram to soft target attackers.
It was unbelievable when fuel queues disappeared in the face of sabotage and excessive profiteering besides fraudulent subsidy regimes.
It will still be UNBELIEVABLE when Nigeria stops importing refined petroleum products with the full operational Dangote Refinery and other modular refineries across Nigeria.
And it will still be UNBELIEVABLE to many wailers and enemies of Nigeria that Buhari will win 2019 Presidential election in a landslide victory.
I call him Mr UNBELIEVABLE.
