7 Major Reasons Why Smart Youths & Students Are Voting For Atiku This Saturday

Nigerian students are among the most intelligent in the world. From Lagos to Owerri, from London to New York, the intellectual capacity of the young Nigerian is renowned. An analysis conducted by Rice University in the U.S. showed that Nigerian youths are the most educated of all migrants in the country. The institution credited the finding to a culture of relentless drive for education amongst Nigerians.

This Saturday, young Nigerians and students will be faced with task of selecting between a party that built 11 brand new universities from scratch in 3 years , sweeping millions of jambites into undergraduate programs and a party party that views youths and students as miscreants in the words of one of their leaders popularly known as "constituted authority".

There are several reasons why young Nigerians and students who have reached the voting age should kick out the cattle herder who glorifies cattles over human lives and the law professor under whose watch Nigeria's constitution is being raped with reckless abandon.

It takes a smart person to recognize incompetence, but only a man whose conscience is not snared can look beyond ethnic and religious sentiments to make an objective assessment. Here is why Nigerians youths and students should vote Atiku this Saturday:

1.The Extreme Hunger and Poverty In Our Hostels and Campuses

It is no news that life has become virtually unbearable for most Nigerians. Under the APC government of Buhari, the naira started competing with the Zimbabwean dollar for irrelevance as the prices of food stuffs soared.

The price of rice , garri and Indomie doubled, gala shrunk in size, while the salaries of most parents and sponsors remained stagnant or lost value. Many others became casualties of the job loss tsunami triggered by a medieval era economic policy known as Buharinomics which was described as the height of foolishness by the Financial Times of London.

The few parents and sponsors that managed to keep their jobs after the implementation of this policy could hardly support their wards because salaries were not paid. Under Buhari, we became the world headquarters for extreme hunger and poverty.

The good news here is that with an Atiku Presidency anchored on job creation and the opening up of the economy , joy and happiness is set to replace hunger and anger on our campuses. In the words of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nigeria needs Atiku to make life more meaningful.( Nov 26. 2016 Daily Post)

2. The Inhuman Hike In school fees and Accommodation Charges

Despite renaging on virtually all their promises, the APC and its governors have inflicted untold hardship on Nigerian students. APC as a party is renowned for arbitrary hike in tuition fees and indiscriminate closure of schools when students protest such hikes. It took the intervention of ASUU and the upcoming elections for the Buhari administration to suspend the proposed increase in tuition fees to =N= 350,000. Voting for Buhari on saturday is an endorsement of the plan to increase the tuition of fee of public universities to between N350, 000 to N500, 000 per session.

On the other hand, here is what Buhari himself had to say about Atiku and education "Over the years, I have admired your courage and doggedness in defending your interests and your generosity in promoting education" ( Mohammadu Buhari Nov 24. 2016)


3. The Burden Of Transportation Cost On and Off Campus

Despite their pseudo promise that Nigerians will buy fuel for =N= 40 per liter , Nigerian students both on and off campuses have had to bear the brunt of high transport fares owing to the increase in the price of petroleum products by Buhari. High transport fares have also complicated life for students on Industrial training and catapulted cost of living for virtually everyone.

Unlike the current fraudulent subsidy regime being operated by the cabal, Atiku and Obi intend to clean up the system and provide affordable and easily accessible transportation system that would be fully integrated across the length and breadth of Nigeria making life much better for all Nigerians.

4. Nepotism & Employment Of Unqualified Lecturers.

Following the illegal sack of vice chacellors of Federal institutions by this regime, many federal universities which hitherto had a Nigerian outlook began wearing Northern look with the disengagement of non native lecturers and the employment of lecturers who can hardly express themselves in English teaching undergraduate students who knew better than them. With merit and intellectual capacity being slaughtered on the alter of nepotism,
the result was a catastrophic fall in the standard of education in the federal universities affected.

What will Atiku do differently? This is how Garba Shehu, Atiku's former spokesman describes him "Even those who don’t like him say Atiku does not compromise on quality. He has a knack for identifying good staff. In line with this tradition, we hire only good hands. With Atiku, quality is always the number one issue". ( Premium Times Dec .8.2013)



5. Destruction Of the Almajiri School Legacy

According to UNICEF, the North East alone has about 3 Million Almajiris. The PDP through President Goodluck Jonathan created a path that began the transformation and reformation of the Almajiri school system. This resulted in the construction of commissioning of about 200 Almajiri schools with library , mosque and Mallams quarters . 
However, on November 17 , 2017 just two years into Buharis administration, The Daily Trust Newspaper reported that this laudable initiative of the PDP is now in ruins leaving an estimated 10 million Almajiri students wondering the streets of northern Nigeria with many becoming willing tools in the hands of extremists. This explains why Nigeria currently has 13.2 million out-of-school children about the highest in the world.

Atiku is a very compassionate person, unlike the malevolent fellow from Daura who does not care according to Amaechi, Atiku's holistic plan for education will ensure that our out of school children return to school at the shortest possible time , his UBE credentials and his actions during the Anambara school closure saga by Mbadinuju speaks for itself.


6.The Reckless Abandonment of Kano Students Abroad

Buhari watched helplessly as Ganduje stuff millions of dollars into the Central bank located inside his baban riga yet refusing to pay the tuition fees of Kano state students sent abroad during Kwankwaso' s era even though he was part and parcel of that government as deputy governor.

Why will a President allow his citizens to roam the streets of a foreign country begging for food, simply because he wants to send a message to a political foe?

Nigeria needs a students and youth friendly president like Atiku , one who understands young people and connects with their hopes and aspirations. Even when the Special Eagles where stranded, it was Atiku who came to their rescue and ensured our country was not disgraced.

7. Buharis Penchant For Demarketing Young Nigerians 

The youths constitute a vast majority of the Nigerian students population. Despite their immense contribution to nation building, Buhari has used every available opportunity on the international stage to rubbish them in the eyes of the international community.

During a February 2016 interview with UK Telegraph, Mr Buhari said most Nigerian youths in the UK are disposed to criminality despite the fact that young Nigerian students are among the top performing students throughout the United Kingdom. 

Even though research has clearly shown that young Nigerians are the most educated, our president still went ahead to describe us as the most uneducated and lazy crop of people at the Commonwealth Business Forum in the United Kingdom, attended by Heads of State and Government of 53 nations.

In contrast, Atiku passionately believes in the young Nigerian, he has openly declared his willingness to nuture our entraprenural drive and support us to achieve our dreams.

Having tried an analogue president and witnessed it's catastrophic consequence on a 21st century economy, it is time to elect a digital president

Having tried a cattle rearer with unproductive cows, it is time to elect a man that understands the demands of a global economy.

It is time to rescue Nigeria and Nigerians from the cabals by electing Atiku Abubakar as President so that our great country can start working again.

May God Himself Continue to Bless The Federal Republic of Nigeria

Trash!

DamZik:
There is a limit to rigging. Rigging can only be done by a popular party. APC is generally no more popular than PDP as at today.If we all come out enmasse and vote, we would make rigging too difficult for them.

Trash! APC is popular everywhere except your igbo villages

Francisayo:
I'm always surprised wen I see people here shouting Atiku.....In my place here Buhari is in d heart of everyone and everybody is already prepared to vote for him massively ... Its as if Buhari has supporters in real life while Atiku supporters is on d internet....... Ondo State

This is what we are saying people are here shouting up and down while the real voters especially in the grass roots are waiting.

You will come and hold my finger on Saturday and stamp it for PDP. Nonsense

4+4 #next level we are optimistic

allthingsgood:
God doesn't bestow grace on thieves

God bestows grace on everybody but I think God wants to achieve something through buhari( doesn't mean his our messaih) in this country

oblaak:
Have you seen oluomo poll?

I'm talking of scientific polls conducted not click "like" and "share" polls

4+4#next level. My vote for pmb

Calculation pastors

The frenzy out there is that APC will loose. However most polls conducted even by pdp sympathisers is showing a close call. The thing is if polls are too close in a developing democracy it gives an edge for the incumbent because of the advantages it has.

These projections are too close for an incumbent. We are not in a developed democracy where incumbents don't use their advantages, this is the mistake they are making

Plateau state election is unpredictable

The stupid projection is almost giving 100 parcent turn out in each region and that is how stupid it is.

This is the worst and most unreliable permutation in the history of politics in the world

Frankonuche:
Please kindly treat this information with urgency.

I just got a sensitive secret information this morning during the time the PDP came for campaign in my community today.

All PDP members were directed to get to the voting center latest by 7:00 am and be on the queue that a specific PDP agent will be on the line and will be the last person to vote after which the agent will signal to the INEC officials and with the cooperation of the security, voting will be stopped and other party members will not be able to cast their votes.

They even promised that PDP members will be settled financially first at a specific spot and they will ALL move at the same time to the voting venue.

They did it successfully during the governorship election after the INEC officially discovered that the remaining voters on the queue are APC

Please ,sensitise ALL APC members to get to the polling center by 7:00am The God of heaven will arise in his power and mercy and cancel every of their plans in the name of God Almighty

God has given us victory, but we must strategise.

They can't try it. Victory is ours

OP go and chop poo . What do you mean by "beg"? Who is begging who?

OP be specific on your caption and dont make it look otherwise

APC is not going to push for any postponement. If it was in the cards it could have happened early this week. Fayose is a bomboclot!

Why is it pdpd's problem? They should go and look at their Ballard report and figure out what to do. Nonsense

Next level

Trash! I will vote PMB bleep off!

Cry cry naby

Honestly I don't know what to tell you.

Saraki is raising alarm upandan like a baby

Any thing they tell wailers these days they tend to believe because their head is up side down at anything buhari

sammyj:
Good to know!!! Like for Buhari and Share for Atiku

All this one won't help. Mai shayi in Bauchi doesn't know what your 'liking' and 'sharing'. Trash!

Bleep PDP they have been running around spewing propaganda like gushing water but thank God day of reckoning has come. The mind games are over reality beckons

Everyone is going back home to stratergise. If Saraki likes he can continue following Atiku upandan when there is fire in his house

Lol. By the time they get 5k each they will turn to one. Nonsense politicians that is how much love you get?

Atiku will not be president. We are aware that you people are paid to counter any truth on this forum. The kind of speed of light you people counter these things shows that you sleep on nairaland. Lol

One thing I know is that Atiku will not be president

I already know Atiku will not win. I notice that buhari's supporters are not making so much noise because of the propaganda pushed out there by pdp. A lot of them are low key so that it doesn't look like they are offending anyone. They may even speak against buhari in the presence of people but are still willing to vote him because of trust
