Gohashim2019

festuskol:
Lol. The guy just dey waste his money paying this op mrright to convince us to vote for him by constantly bombarding his name from now till jesus comes. People should go and check this Hashim guy's political record he is a SNAKE. I prefer to waste my vote on Fela Durotoye, Kingsley Maughalu or Aunty Obi.

Hashim stand side by side with Nelson Mandela in history. When Mandela was declared Prisoner of Conscience in South Africa in 1989, Hashim was declared Prisoner of Conscience in Nigeria. This is a serious minded person not a boys scout politician.

He know what it takes to end the reign of the two devils and he will get it done in 2019.

Ben4sure:
In as much as I want change in personnel to man our most sensitive position and save us from the old cargos that have become cankerworms to our nation, I don't fancy the plan of Hashim. Votes are not counted on social media platforms. He should do more in the grassroots to muster enough votes.

Hashim is more organied and popular at the grassroots tahn online. As a matter of fact, he just started online campaign of late. before now, he has been more focused at the grassroots. Trust me, Hashim is doing more at the grassroots than online.

People who have been accusing him of not being online before are the same people now claiming he his too active online. Gradually, he his getting everhwhere.

Fear of defeat behind Buhari’s refusal to sign Electoral Act amendment

•APC, PDP playing games,Olawepo-Hashim alleges

As mixed reactions continue to trail President Muhammadu Buhari’s refusal to sign the Electoral Act amendment bill, stakeholders, including one of the frontline presidential candidates for next year’s election, Mr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, NCP presidential candidate, Dr. Yusuf Tanko, among others, have blamed President Buhari action on fear of losing the 2019 election.
Tanko said Buhari was only acting out of selfish interest by not signing the bill, stressing, “If that Bill is not assented to, there is no way the country can conduct free, fair and credible election next year.”He disclosed that other political parties would take the issue up with the National Assembly, remarking that if expected result is not achieved “we will go on protest and even appeal to the international community to impress on Buhari to sign the Bill into law. I don’t think the president is ready for a free and fair election.”

However, Olawepo-Hashim blamed both the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the ignoble fate that has befallen Nigeria’s electoral system.The Peoples Trusts presidential standard bearer asserted that the two major parties were not only toying with the destiny of Nigerians, but also playing politics with the nation’s stability through the way and manner they handle a serious bill such as the Electoral Act.He lamented that rather than presenting themselves as statesmen, APC and PDP candidates were rather obsessed with immediate partisan gains.

Speaking during an interactive session with journalists in Lagos, Olawepo-Hashim recalled that although the PDP-controlled National Assembly passed the Electoral Act, the perceived top actors are falling below standards.He stated: “The president is conducting himself like a typical Nigerian politician of the era of political decline, rather than behaving as a patriot that I have always thought he is. By his actions, he is simply saying, “let me benefit from the fraudulent process for my 2019 bid. You can push for the new law in 2023 when I will not be contesting?

“In the task of nation building, political leaders sometimes have to rise above the fray and take decisions in the national interest, even when they do not seem to benefit from them. Some of us did this before. In 2000, when some of our colleagues wanted to change our two-year tenure to four years, I led the opposition to this, even though I would have been a beneficiary of that exercise as a National Executive Committee (NEC) member.”

Is Open University the best institution in Nigeria?
https://mrrightsng..com/2018/12/is-open-university-best-institution-in.html

A post recently made on facebook by Abdulrazaq O Hamzat, a former President of Congress of NOUN Students (CONS) has generated a new debate about the position of National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) among institutions in the country.

Hamzat, who is still in court against management of the institution over his unlawful expulsion in 2015 for exposing corruption and forming a student association declared that, despite all the challenges confronting the University, the Open University is still the best in Nigeria.

In his words, ‘’ National Open University of Nigeria is the best institution in Nigeria’’

While some people expressed their disagreement with the former NOUN student leader, In the discussion that followed, Hamzat argued that, there is no institution in Nigeria with it’s own standard dedicated course materials apart from Open university. These course material, he maintained are the best anyone can find anywhere around the world.

Hamzat also argued that, an average Open University student will stand among the best in other institutions and he challenged anyone with contrary opinion to step forward for a challenge.

According to him, '' NOUN graduates are competent and self developed. They are well prepared to take on the world, unlike graduates from conventional Universities where you may find half baked''.

While he noted that there might still be half baked graduates in NOUN, the percentage, compared to that of conventional Universities is like 1 of 10. he concluded.

Do you agree that NOUN is the best institution in Nigeria? Let’s know your opinion.

2019: Olawepo-Hashim accuses APC, PDP of playing games with Nigeria's stability

- Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim has accused the two dominant parties, the APC and PDP of playing politics with Nigeria’s stability

- The People’s Trust (PT) candidate, said rather than presenting themselves as statesmen, the candidates are obsessed with immediate partisan gains

- He said the supposed top political actors in the country are falling below standards

Front-line presidential candidate, Mr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim has accused the two dominant parties, the All Progressive Congress (APC) and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) of playing politics with the nation’s stability through the way and manner they are handling the electoral act.

The candidate running on the platform of the People’s Trust (PT), stressed that rather than presenting themselves as statesmen, the candidates are rather obsessed with immediate partisan gains. He told reporters at an interactive session in Lagos while reacting to the president’s refusal to give accent to the electoral act, noting that the supposed top actors are falling below standards.

Olawepo-Hashim stated: “The president is conducting himself like a typical Nigerian politician of the era of political decline, rather than behaving as a patriot that I have always thought he is. By his actions, he is simply saying let me benefit from the fraudulent process for my 2019 bid. You can push for the new law in 2023 when I will not be contesting.”

He said it is regrettable that with the spiraling poverty in the land, insurgency by Boko Haram, violence in the northeast and northwest, incipient Shiites rebellion due to high handedness, massive insecurity and bloodletting in various states, Nigeria may be damaged beyond redemption in four years. He noted that the PDP led legislature had ample time to correct the perceived lacunas in the electoral act, which he said they had created in the first instance, but are rather distracting the polity with it.

He continued: “In the task of nation building, political leaders sometimes have to rise above the fray and take decisions in the national interest, even when it does not seem to benefit from it. Some of us did this before.

“In 2000, when some of our colleagues wanted to change our two year tenure to four years, I led the opposition to this, even though I would have been a beneficiary of that exercise as a National Executive Committee (NEC) member.”

The PT presidential candidate called on the electorate and the entire citizens of Nigeria not to be discouraged from participating in the next polls as a result of the shenanigans of APC and PDP.

He regretted that since what he called the “garrison” election in Osun state and the unfortunate decline of assent to the electoral act, the APC has been trying to spread fear in the hearts of would be voters that their votes will not count.

Even then, he noted that the PT is a product of the struggle for democracy and assuring the populace that they know what to do in the event of anyone trying to hold on to power, irrespective of the people’s desire. “The path of honour is for the president to commit himself to a transparent poll and ensure and ignore the counsel of palace courtiers and political war mongers intent on moving the country in the path of further destruction, God forbid,” he concluded.

Electoral Bill: APC, PDP guilty of playing politics with Nigeria's stability Says Olawepo Hashim
https://mrrightsng..com/2018/12/electoral-bill-apc-pdp-guilty-of.html

Frontline Presidential Candidate, Mr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim has accused the two dominant parties, the All Progressive Party (APC) and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) of playing politics with the nation’s stability through the way and manner they are handling the electoral act.

The candidate running on the platform of the People’s Trust (PT) and regarded as a third force in the build up to the February presidential elections stressed that rather than presenting themselves as statesmen, the candidates are rather obsessed with immediate partisan gains.

He told reporters at an interactive session in Lagos while reacting to the president’s refusal to give accent to the electoral act, which he said was passed by the PDP controlled National Assembly, that the supposed top actors are falling below standards.

He said it is regrettable that with the spiraling poverty in the land, insurgency by Boko Haram, violence in the North East and North West, incipient Shite rebellion due to high handedness, massive insecurity and bloodletting in various states, Nigeria may be damaged beyond redemption in four years, should we all succumb to the plot for the APC to hand themselves a fresh term through a faulty process.

The candidate believed to be flying the flag of the young and the active, noted that the PDP led legislature had ample time to correct the perceived lacunas in the electoral act, which they had created in the first instance, but are rather distracting the polity with it.

He continued: “In the task of nation building, political leaders sometimes have to rise above the fray and take decisions in the national interest, even when it does not seem to benefit from it.

Take your vaccines & necessary precautions: This is a no-brainer when visiting a new country. Do not forget to visit your doctor to ensure that you are not unnecessary susceptible to tropical bugs or allergens. Nigeria is not more diseased than other countries, however, residents of a country will often be more immune to certain illnesses than visitors to that place. Take extra care to sleep with mosquito nets or lotions and drink bottled water everywhere you go.

Oh, the experiences you could get when you go to Nigeria! Is there a question about Nigeria you would like answered? Leave a comment to share something I might have missed.

Brace for the Traffic (Lagos): If you are visiting Lagos, you’ll need to brace for the traffic. Veteran Lagosians may know the short windows during which road traffic is light but most likely, you’ll meet some sort of traffic during your visit. This is especially true if your accommodation is located in a separate area from your meetings, events or tours. While you crawl through, take note of the hawkers who sell everything from CDs to cold bottled drinks to air mattresses and standing fans in traffic. Lagos traffic doubles as a mobile department store. True story!

Nigerians are flamboyant people: In Nigeria, big houses are big, parties are loud and weddings are extravagant. Compared to other African countries, Nigerians are flamboyant and often display their wealth in innocuous ways. Nigerian weddings have a life of their own and creative tour operators like TVP Adventures now offer packages for you to experience a wedding firsthand or attend a typical ‘owambe’ (celebration).

Everything is a contradiction: There is so much wealth in the country — you’ll find people living lifestyles that can rival that of British royalty or American tycoons, on legitimate wealth. In the same square mile, you’ll find people living in penury. In Nigeria, everything exists side by side and in seeming harmony — wealth and poverty, corruption and religion, . While these things exist simultaneously, the contradiction is often stark and visible.

Religion is part and parcel of everyday life: Nigeria is tolerant of all kinds of religion. However, do not expect people to separate their religious activities from those of their work lives. Even though the country is a secular state, almost half of the population identifies as Christian and a similar portion identifies as Muslim. The local traditional religions have managed to survive interspersed among Christianity and Islam. There is also thin but growing population of Hindus and other religious sects. Do not be surprised to see people praying at the start of meetings or to see how proudly Nigerians wear their religious affiliations on their cars, door posts and popular culture. The country is also well decorated with churches and mosques. You can visit some of these churches and mosques for a more robust experiences.

Money: Some cities encourage cashless transactions and so will accept cards payments in most places. These can be unreliable in smaller cities and smaller establishments. To be safe, always carry enough cash for the day (not too little to get stranded and not too much). ATMs are available throughout the country and if you have a local guide, they can handle most of the transactions for you.

Public transportation might be a struggle: There is an availability of public transport but they do not work with strict schedules and may be cramped. If you’re not in a hurry and want a full experience, jump into a ‘danfo’ or hail a shared cab a few times. For more comfortable options, Uber and Taxify work seamlessly in Nigeria and so do local taxis. If you book a tour or custom experience, your transportation will be taken care of.

Give a nod to a Nigerian legend: You are sure to completely win over the hearts of Nigerians if you say a word or sentence in a local language or Pidgin English. Nigerians appreciate it when others make an effort to learn their ways. You’ll get even more points if you acknowledge a Nigerian legend: Fela, Agbani Darego, Jollof Rice. Want to take it further, sing ‘African Queen’ by TuFace or dance ‘Shoki’ and watch people light up in glee. It is all about the effort.

Get ready for a meaty, spicy time: In major cities like Lagos and Abuja, you’ll find every kind of food you are looking for in Nigeria — Indian, Japanese, American, French, Chinese — especially Chinese, and even Ethiopian. But what’s the fun in coming to Nigerian without enjoying Nigerian food? Prepare for lots of meats, starches and spicy food. Pretty much everything in Nigeria is flavorful and often, spicy (hot). However, many places will gladly tame the pepper level of your meal if you give them a heads up. Nigerian food is a true representation of its people with an unlimited variety of options and a rich medley of flavors. Only a small number of Nigerians are vegetarian but there are many meals on most menus that do not contain meat. Remember to tell your host or server ahead of time if you have specific food requirements.
