WOW I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU CREATED A TOPIC PAST 12AM MIDNIGHT AND IN LESS THAN 15 MINUTES IT WAS PUSHED TO FP

Btw Olawepo seems more like a mole, a vote divider Nairaland President . There are only 3 main contenders in this election.

ATIKU, BUHARI and SOWORE.

Sowore is edgely a contender cos he has put in work than all other presidential candidates combined, for having a fair agenda, for having a remarkable historical record, for having support of the Nigerians in Diaspora, for doing the most radio and TV interviews/debate, for visiting over 100 cities across Nigeria on voters sensitization before the official campaign period started, for being publicly funded (over 80 million raised by supporters who are individuals like me and you on gofundme and into his bank account).

If not, it would have been ATIKU vs BUHARI, APC vs PDP as always.

cc bilms, thegreenland (Weldone, I know you guys are doing your jobs by the way, I wish I have 2 knuckles to rub together for my support of Sowore but Nigeria matters most )

My brother, park well. All well meaning Nigerians are seeing road clearly, only the less thoughtful are still living in the past.

Olawepo Hashim's party is fielding over 200 candidates across the country, showing their spread and capability and how many is Sowore's party fielding? Just 30.

Please, don't embarrass yourself in public, I love you.

If you want a better Nigeria, Olawepo Hashim is the man. He his going to expand Nigeria's economy to create a $4trillion economy. This is the only economy that can take us out of poverty.

Let's work to make Nigeria better

TheGreenLand:
That makes me like him more.
Good job.
With people like this (as you portray him to be) , cos I don't know much about him truly, Nigeria will be great.
All the best once more

Here is a little about him.

2019 Presidency: Fantastic Profile of Third Force Presidential Candidate, Olawepo Hashim
https://mrrightsng..com/2018/09/2019-presidency-inspiring-stor

He rode to fame as a student union activist, and veered into advocacy as a graduate. He later resorted to public relations practice, and then detoured into oil. Then Gas, and now Energy. Soon, he got into politics: beginning as a presidential endorser, he moved into party administrator. And then he sought office as governor. A break followed, resulting into the expansion of a business, flourishing across Africa, in Europe and the Americas.

Somewhat like a fairy-tale, sometimes incredible, his concerns have flourished, and the young, ever agitated mind of yesteryears, have become a risen man of today, with promising manners for greater heights.

That’s the story of Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, who lately revealed his paternal identity, through the origin of his father, Hashimi Abdullah’s as being Kebbi State born, and who’s now vying for the nation’s top job, the presidency.

Olawepo-Hashim is not however your conventional businessperson, simply at home with figures and returns, and prospects or potentials. He works through the borderlines, believing in the persons powering the growth and progress of his concerns. He is not also your regular investor angling for new markets, through feasibility evaluations, and then taking the plunge.

He calculates with a calmness worried about firstly growing the one at hand. Then think of his contemplative mien. His introspective disposition. And then his philosophical outlook. What about his worldview that prioritises circumspection? They combine to reveal an intriguing, and yet incredible maturity of a radical philosopher that has equally mastered the art of dealing in figures.

Not a few were shocked a few years ago when a controversy over ownership of oil blocks raged in the Senate. It was important they should be identified. The former student union leader, former civil society activist, and former public relations consultant (a line of business not easily associated with megabucks), Olawepo-Hashim made the list. He was listed as the owner of OPL 241 on the continental shelf.

Is that the same Olawepo? How did he get into that bracket? Isn’t that forte for the royals, the generals, and the retired that, and retired this? More questions were asked. Tongues wagged. Riots ran in inquirers brains. Unbelievable? But it was him – the same Olawepo-Hashim. Not anyone else. Obviously, he had painstakingly grown his business. He had expanded. The transformation probably did not show because the man was still himself: simple, philosophical, affable, and godly.

He was still the polemicist, the thinker, the talker, and still vibrant in interacting. He did not grow into the recluse of the monetary empire builder, ever cynical about the person next door. Olawepo-Hashim did not bear the verbal asceticism of the million, or billion owner. He carried no strange airs. He was still lively, still in relationship with old folks and friends, from the good old days of the struggle.

While the disbelief of the oil block ownership was still lingering, he became known again as an energy investor. Like a joke, he soon began leading circles of power sector investors in Nigeria, and later in the UK. Often accompanied by aides and partners from all races, the age of doubt began to dry out.

The guy is real. His firm, Bresson AS Energy became one of the pioneer licensed Independent Power Producers (IPP) in the country. The firm is engaged in acquiring, developing, owning, and operating independent power generating facilities (IPGF). It is presently building its first power plant located at the Lagos corridor of Ogun State, Nigeria. More than $200million has so far being sunk into the project. And it is ongoing.

Something is ever common to growing or successful entrepreneurs: they hardly have ever worked for anyone else but themselves. Even when they rarely do, they quickly break off, to kick off. Check the story of Aliko Dangote, Mark Zuckerberg, Mike Domek, Joseph Semprevivo, and Babak Farahi. See the origin of Richard Branson, Bill Gates, Carlos Slim and Armacio Ortega, amongst others. With all these ones, it has ever being a crave for business independence, for the performance of experiments with finances, and a knack to take some plunges. In these cases, it has paid off.

For Olawepo-Hashim there is a parallel. He is not known to have being in any paid employment. From his days at Set and Sell Limited, he has been up and about. Between Lagos and Abuja, it was proposal here, proposal there. He kept at it. He diversified. Then kept the focus, and the vision. And then the bigger deals happened. Looks far easier said than done. Many waters would have passed under the bridge. There would have been countless pains, stress, near misses and disappointments. There would always be a story. The important thing is the stage at hand, and the work that still lies ahead, in the reckoning of Olawepo-Hashim.

Growing as one of Africa’s leading energy investors with some forays into East and Southern Africa, Olawepo-Hashim lately stole the show at a symposium organised by Imperial College Nigeria Society. He was also at the University of Ife as public lecturer, with tens of professors in audience.

At Imperial College, his fellow speakers probably lived up to their backgrounds as conservatives, speaking with the solemn elite flavour. Not with Olawepo-Hashim: Even with that flavour as well, he additionally went further. He connected with the mainly student audience. At home with them, he recalled his days of activism, his focus and his rise through the stages of advocacy and finance, before zeroing in on the state of the Nigerian nation. With varying presentation skills, his applause was deafening, temporarily providing a warmth in the whipping winter cold.

“We have gathered here to talk about a great country Nigeria” he began, stressing, “Nigeria is great not just because it is the 7th most populous country on the planet. It is an important Nation not only on account of her oil wealth. Nigeria is significant more because of the energy of her people, whose creativity and resilient spirit of enterprise continues to assure her progress even in the face of seemingly hopeless situations”

His salute of the ordinary Nigerian spirit and hardwork did not end there: “ It is due to the hard-work and industry of the ordinary Nigerians- the nation’s greatest asset, that Nigeria attained a GDP rebased at $510 billion in 2013 exceeding that of South Africa to become the biggest African economy even in the face of her parlous infrastructure.

“The feat is the result of the toiling of small scale entrepreneurs, who continue to create value without adequate electricity, cottage food processors, without affordable financing, farmers without the scantest of state support; artisans, bold and imaginative business men and women, dynamic financial managers, young innovators creative artistes and hardworking professionals”

Then the interactive session came. Ideologies and backgrounds were bound to clash. Olawepo-Hashim and Aig-Imoukhuede got into a short, harmless, but interesting back and forth. While the banker highlighted the many risks associated with investments in Nigeria with some facts and examples, the investor discountenanced them, arguing that Nigeria remains one of the best places to invest in the world. “Look at MTN, what about the Dubai merchants and the joint venture partners? They are all doing well despite the challenges. There is no business without risk, and there is no location without its troubles”, he pontificated to a warm applause.

He moved on to criticise the high interest rate in lending in Nigeria. “We probably need a new set of bankers, if we cannot do something about the rate in Nigeria” Then this: “Given that prevailing interest rate to assess finance in Nigeria is 22% compared to 8.5% in South Africa, 7.8% in Egypt, China 3.4% and in the US 2.33%, the Nigerian manufacturer is already not competitive. The burden of high cost of production could be lighter if electricity supply can be assessed at the grid price on a stable basis and even at a price a little higher than the current grid cost” Applause and applause!

Olawepo-Hashim then went into his forte, noting that the participation of new Independent Power Producers (IPPs) in the sector are specially very crucial because whilst privatization of existing utilities merely transfers ownership to the new operators, it is the new greenfield IPPs that add capacity to the network. Unfortunately, he pursued, in the past five years no new IPP has been commissioned in Nigeria. As a matter of fact last year no single turbine was imported to Nigeria and none has been imported this year, compared to 15 GE turbines that were shipped to Egypt this year alone.

The businessman, who also chairs the Transnational Energy Corporation in the US regretted the difficulties associated with the private sector participation in infrastructure development identified previously. “The difference here is, the sense of urgency that the resolution of these issues in the power sector demands. They are questions to which answers cannot be delayed further; they must be addressed right now! Policy formulators only lament and sing the power inadequacy like a song and failing to take the practical executive actions that do not even require legislation to achieve”

British Tycoon, Richard Branson, it was, who said “A business has to be involving, it has to be fun, and it has to exercise your creative instincts” As a communications graduate, Olawepo-Hashim understood the power of creativity earlier on, and he built on it from the beginning, through his crave for differences. And “what lies ahead?” Tom Althouse also adds, “Worrying about it or creating it. Both requires a choice, one opens the door.”

The Bresson AS Energy Chairman has also learnt from these Althouse lines, and with the closet sing-songs of Dr. Funmi Olawepo-Hashim, the gentleman is propelled by another saying from Germany Kent “Once you believe that you can do something, there is not a single person in the universe who can convince you otherwise.” Then it can be said that for Olawepo-Hashim, and with his strong believes, it is morning yet on day of increase.

"Mr Olawepo-Hashim, who promised to pay N50, 000 as minimum wage if elected next president in February 2019, further said the two political parties have nothing to offer Nigerians...."

Could this be true?
Or another setup?

This is for real, backed up with clear agenda. After all, Nigeria paid over $200 minimum wage in 1983, 50k is is not even up to that.

Let's support Hashim and Nigeria GOH Better

PDP, APC have failed electorate ― Olawepo-Hashim

THE Presidential candidate of People’s Trust (PT), Mr Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, on Monday, came hard on both the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressives Congress (APC), saying the two parties have failed electorates, hence, the need to salvage the country in 2019 general elections.

He made this known at the party stakeholders conference in Abuja.

Mr Olawepo-Hashim, who promised to pay N50, 000 as minimum wage if elected next president in February 2019, further said the two political parties have nothing to offer Nigerians.

He, therefore, advised eligible voters to secure their future by voting for his party in 2019 election.

Mr Olawepo-Hashim assured Nigerians, especially youths and graduates that he would create jobs and make the environment conducive for businesses to flourish.

The presidential candidate of PT said his party was fine-tuning its strategy in all geopolitical zones on how to wrestle power from the ruling APC.

While reading the communiqué after the conference, the Board of Trustees (BoT) secretary, Mr Olawale Okunniyi, said the party has resolved to continue its consultations with other political parties to present a formidable team in next elections.

According to him, we are going to be having a stakeholder’s meeting in all the regions. We are going to have a common third force presidential candidate to be endorsed by January 2019 which for the interest of the masses.

He was optimistic that the party would take over the mantle of leadership in next year election.

Walelavender:
The Olawepo Hashim guys on this platform are really doing a great job, unlike Fela Durotoye, Kingsley Moghalu , Ezekwesili and the likes, who you hardly read about. Though it is obviously a two-horse race between the devil and the deep blue sea again, just as 2015.
Without a structure, you can't win a presidential election....these newbies should start building their structures across all divides, now. Not for 2019 but future elections.

It's not a 2 horse race. Hashim will make Nigeria better

POLITICS2019: Nigerians Should Retire Those Against Minimum Wage – Olawepo-HashimPublished 7 mins agoon December 4, 2018By TOPE FAYEHUN





The presidential candidate of the People’s Trust (PT), Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim has described those complaining that they could not afford the N30,000 new minimum wage,” are inferior in intellect”.

Speaking at the national stakeholders meeting of the PT in Abuja, yesterday, Olawepo urged Nigerians to retire them in 2019, if they failed to retire voluntarily.

The presidential candidate who noted that those who cannot pay lack imagination and creativity, said:” anybody that is coming to offer excuses has no business in government.”

According to him, “They should be retired and if they failed to retire themselves, retire them in 2019 with our PVCs. This mission is possible.”

He said “I make a commitment that I will pay 50,000 minimum wage, I will do that before the first anniversary if I am elected as a president.

His words “Of cause people who have lived their lives on government since they were barely out of secondary school up to their dying days cannot understand how to create jobs.

“Because every car they drove, the government bought it for them. Even the fuel in that car was from the government. The schools their children attended was paid by the government. I have never signed N30,000 government voucher in my life.

“I have been a businessman for 27 years. I know how to create jobs because that is what I have been doing before and now. I will create jobs in Nigeria.

So, go back to your states and tell the electorates that you have a presidential candidate that has been creating jobs for 27 years and since the job is what you want for children, he will create jobs and that is important.

“Because at the bottom of upheavals in Nigeria, is joblessness. People have nothing to do. When we create jobs, we will have the taxable revenue to pay the workers a decent living wage.

” We have sent military government away, we will also send corrupt politician away in 2019. We are going to build a country where security will be taken for granted.

“We would secure Nigeria once again. We would stop the killings in the land by dealing decisively with those who commit murder . Immediately they will know that there is a new sheriff in town. That is the presidency we will deliver to Nigeria by the grace of God in 2019 .

National Open University N20,000 re-mark fee ‘extortion’ — Students
https://mrrightsng..com/2018/12/national-open-university-n20000-re-mark.html


The students of National Open University of Niger(NOUN) have accused the school of extortion after the institution announced a N20,000 fee to remark their missing examination scripts.

According to the announcement on its website, the school will set up a three man committee to re-mark the scripts after receiving the payment.

“The 3 Man Committee will be made up of the Head of Unit and two other experts other than those that marked the Script initially. Re- marking shall be completed within two weeks and returned to the University Examinations Committee by the School,” the school said.

“The new score awarded shall be approved by the Dean of the School on behalf of the School’s Academic Board which brings it to the notice of the University Examinations Committee.”

The school, however, failed to justify the N20, 000 fee it made mandatory for the students.

Expressing their dismay and disappointment at the ugly development, students from centres including Community Study Centre in Awa-Ijebu, NOUN Special Study Centre for the Nigerian Army, study centres in Ibadan, Gombe, Dutse, Bauchi, Sokoto, Oyo, Osogbo and Lagos told PREMIUM TIMES that the non-release of results affect mostly students who rounded up their undergraduate programme with the institution in July 2018.

One of the students in Community Study Centre in Emevor, Delta States who spoke with our reporter said the withheld results have caused setbacks in the academic pursuit of intending graduates of the school.

“We have been on this since October. We wrote to the university as regards our withheld result. Rather than respond on necessary steps to take, we only realised that the ‘school made an announcement on its portal, an unfriendly one’. I have finished and submitted my project but could not find the result,” the student said.

Another student at the Osogbo Centre, Mutiu Alimi, told our correspondent that the institution refused to give reasonable reasons on why they are charging the students to re-mark their scripts.

“For the university not to have seen my script after writing exam sounds ridiculous. Asking Student to pay N20, 000 makes the case worse. We hope the public can help demand justice from the university.”

Another student, who simply identified herself as Queen, said: “the best I can think of now is how the university will listen to our plea. I don’t have any money. I followed the laid down procedure to communicate my plight. If this issue is not attended to, many of us risks extra year as the opportunity to re-register the course closed since October.”

A student of Computer Science at the Marina centre in Lagos said: “My result CIIT411, CIT425, CIT427 and CIT445 are not compiled. So, I have to pay N80, 000 to solve the issue. This is sad.”

Efforts by PREMIUM TIMES to seek clarification on what the payment is meant for, from the University, were unsuccessful as all telephone numbers provided on the school’s portal did not go through.

Also, the emails sent to the university were also not replied a week after.

ADP Presidential Aspirant urges President Buhari to step down for Olawepo Hashim

Former Presidential aspirant under the umbrella of African Democratic Party, ADP, Mathias Sado has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to relinquish his presidential ambition to People’s Trust candidate, Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim.

Sado who stated this on Sunday at a media briefing while handing over his political structures to Olawepo’s campaign team, said Buhari should put his support behind Olawepo.

According to him, Olawepo-Hashim is the only credible candidate who can tackle the two leading political party candidates, Buhari and Atiku.

“At this point, we are not looking for politicians but statesmen who can yield themselves to the National interest.

“As we speak the country is on life support. We have not had leaders who have abilities to transform the country. We (politicians) should look beyond our selfish interest.

“It is about the desire to serve. I have made consultation before now and it’s time to forge ahead.

“It is not possible for one to become a president without bringing other people. I have spoken to Gbenga and as seen the similarities will share.  I feel I should not pursue my agenda but to collaborate”.

He said Olawepo should reach out to the youths and get a good number of people that believe in the project.

“We have a lot of followers across the 36 states and equally strong in the social media. We have a lot of structures that would support him.

“The country is bleeding and serious trouble. We have become poverty capital. This is not the time to play politics but statesmanship. We are setting a new agenda for the country, to build a country. This is not the time to be divided but united on common vision.

“Olawepo has the tenacity and audacity. It is achievable.

“I submit immorality, my dreams, desire, hope to Olawepo. Every single structure I have I submit to work together.  I am putting my vision down to build a country for the next generation.

In his response Olawepo thanked Sado and assured that he is committed to bring everybody to the table to have a better Nigeria.

“I have been talking to 20 political parties who have signed up for this movement.

“The destination of Nigeria is to be a great country. Things that have never happened positively will begin to happen.

“Nigeria will be great again. The dream of restoration within 5 years is achievable. The dream of 4trillion dollar economy. We will work very hard to achieve this. This is a very important addition to us, Olawepo assured.

ADP presidential candidate steps down for Olawepo-Hashim

The African Democratic Party (ADP) presidential candidate, Matthias Sado, has announced his decision to drop his presidential ambition to support the presidential candidate of Peoples Trust (PT), Mr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim.

Sado, who spoke at a press conference yesterday, said Olawepo-Hashim possesses all that was needed to rescue “our bleeding nation from the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration led by President Muhammadu Buhari.”

He declared: “I have studied the mission statement of Mr. Olawepo-Hashim and his commitment to the task of rescuing Nigeria. His immense capacity to engender trust and the audacity of his promise to transform Nigeria into a $4-trillion dollars economy are fundamental.”

Meanwhile, Olawepo, who disclosed that 20 other political parties and their presidential candidates plan to team up with him and his party to ensure victory in next year’s presidential poll, said that the PT would soon unveil the identities of the 20-party coalition partners for Nigerians to see the details.
