Your opinion though

Banmeallday:
What did he do? You people have the lowest standards of any Black group in the world. What is Obi Vice Presidency going to do? What did Osinbanjo VP do? Or Ekwueme, or even Atiku VP?

Nothing

And in 2019 it will again do nothing.

You people, I’m surprised the US has not come and detonated a nuclear bomb on una because you all are just wasting opportunity. In 2015 you all were happy to vote an old man that overthrew a democracy to lead you.....In 2007 you all went to bring a sick Fulani to rule you, when he was the first to introduce Islamic law into Africa’s so called giant. In 1999 when we said no more military rule, OBJ was celebrated.

Can you see something is really wrong somewhere. And now people that have been suffering and marginalized for decades, with opportunity to be free finally without massive death, have embraced their chains to clap for Atiku.

You all are mentally homeless and HOPELESS

Ask the deputy governor of your state that

But it should've been zoned to the SW

Lets wait till 2019 biko

This is a very good choice considering what Obi did as a governor... Its worth it.

I feel angry when I hear someone ask for free logo design. Logo design should be among the highest paid services.

Before the Yale University ‘magic’ awarding an honorary doctorate degree to Ngozi Okonjo Iweala (NOI), and her inclusion in the world most influential women. During her first term as Minister of Finance under president Obasanjo’s Administration, she spearheaded negotiations with the Paris Club of Creditors that led to the wiping out of US$30 billion of Nigeria’s debt, including the outright cancellation of US$18 billion

-Creation of Sure-P and Related Programmes
The Subsidy Re-investment Programme (SURE-P), Graduate Internship Scheme (GIS), Youth Enterprise with Innovation in Nigeria (YOUWIN), Community Service Scheme (CSS), National Industrial Revolution Plan (NIRP) and Growing Girls and Women in Nigeria (GWIN) were some of the palliative programmes created by the federal government in response to the partial fuel subsidy removal of 2012.

Together, these collaborations between the Federal Ministry of Finance and other federal ministries, parastatals and agencies have yielded almost 2 million direct, indirect and temporary jobs across the country.

-Rebasing of the National GDP
During Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala's tenure as the finance minister, Nigeria's GDP was successfully rebased for the first time in 24 years. This commendable effort not only made Nigeria Africa's largest economy, but it also kept us on course to breeze into the exclusive and elusive club of the world's 20 largest economies by 2020.

The only (and major) downside of this achievement, however, was its failure to trickle down to the average Nigerian. By rebasing our Gross Domestic Product, the economy merely expanded on the basis of the increasing population figures of the country and not due to its increased productivity. In essence, what we got was an economic growth without an economic development.

-Partial Fuel Subsidy Removal
The decision of the Goodluck Jonathan Presidency to withdraw the subsidy paid on crude oil and natural gas products was a brilliant one, but its timing was extremely ill-advised, hence the massive protests that greeted its announcement in 2012.

Fuel subsidy is a price manipulation technique employed by the government to fix the pump price of petroleum products at certain amounts, irrespective of their actual market prices, in order to make them affordable for the average Nigerian. To compensate the retailers for their losses, the government pays them the difference between the fixed prices of the products and their actual prices as determined by market forces.

Needless to say, this subsidy regime is not sustainable and it goes against the principles of capitalism which Nigeria practices. If fully implemented, the removal of fuel subsidy in Nigeria will free up as much as $6 billion per annum, a sum that can be channelled into other sectors of the economy.

But, the downsides of a rushed total fuel subsidy removal are numerous: an immediate spike in the pump price of petroleum products, transport fares and foodstuff; an increased spate of layoffs and business closures due to a rising cost of production; rising unemployment; an attendant deterioration in the standard of living of the average Nigerian; and civil unrest.

-Introduction of the Cashless Policy
The finance ministry through the Central Bank of Nigeria shot the Nigerian banking industry into the 21st century with its introduction of the electronic banking system, popularly known as the cashless policy.

The cashless policy — which seeks to reduce the volume of paper currency in circulation — has not only helped to significantly improve the ease of banking and doing business in the country, but it has also helped to significantly reduce the ease of money laundering, the cost of printing new naira notes and armed robbery, among others.

-The Hosting of the World Economic Forum on Africa
In 2014, Nigeria became only the second country in sub-Saharan Africa (after South Africa) to host the World Economic Forum on Africa.

The WEFA is an apex regional economic summit organized by the Switzerland-based World Economic Forum which brings together Africa's best brains in journalism, business, academics and politics to deliberate on the continent's most pressing socioeconomic issues.

Official estimates by its managing director, Dr. Philipp Rosler, revealed that the 2014 WEFA attracted nearly $70 billion worth of investments to the continent and reached a global audience of about 2.1 billion people, mostly through the social media.

-Nigeria Produced the First-ever female OPEC President
Nigeria's first female petroleum minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke, made history when she was elected to serve as the first female president of the 12-member Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in 2014.

Unfortunately, she (and consequently, Nigeria) will likely lose this position on May 20 when the present cabinet will be dissolved and she's not likely to be recalled by the incoming Muhammadu Buhari administration.

The main reason why the rich get richer us that they are never satisfied with what they have but the poor just waits for the next meal!

While in the other news, abuse of dollar is still high among our politicians.

Since the onset of this administration hard drugs have been the order of the day. The youths are craving for what will help them forget about their inability to secure a job, poor social security etc.

Anyone who takes hard drugs does not value his/her life or otherwise we can say such person is lifeless.

Serving the Lord comes with great benefits. Just look at how happy they are.

Nigeria politics is just a cycle process. The leaders from the onset are still the ones ruling till date cuz no external body is allowed in. Imagine Arnold Schwarzenegger going for US Senate after serving as a governor.

One-day we shall be free!

Atiku should emulate this, if not he is wasting his time thinking of free and fair election.

Akwa Ibom has the best sports facilities but they're poorly represented in the Nationals

Doing what politicians does best. Markafi is an idol when it comes to loyalty.

How is this someone's name?

Things are moving wrongly today if I should say as people come out always to rubbish mistakes that they have done it themselves.

ORIENTATION101:
open eyes and see pdp has schemed yorubas out of the party.wike told our leaders to go to hell when it was the turn to produce chairman.if south west eventually vote for atiku south south and east will take over his govt and yorubas will be reduced to mere followers of the party.
a vote for buhari is vote for osibanjo and fashola.
pdp did nothing for yorubas from 1999 till date. the infrastructures we enjoy re done by our governors.
apc has embarked on big infrastructural projects that will be delivered by december and first quarter of 2019.
dont allow igbos to blackmail us to vote pdp that did nothing for us

obasanjo was from PDP not SW you know?

"@OfficialPDPNig, thank you for choosing me. This is a victory for all of us. The task to get Nigeria working again starts now. #NigeriaWillWork #LetsGetNigeriaWorkingAgain" - Atiku Abubakar

Who Atiku picks as his running mate will make or mar PDP's chances in 2019. If he can't get an astute manager like Peter Obi on board, he should get Okonjo Iweala or Femi Adesina on board let's show APC what a national movement looks like.

Beautiful people

Even the physically challenged men are here to cast their vote....Touche!

The possibility of PDP winning is about 0.0000 just watch out for Osun repetition next year.

If APC can do that in governorship election then expect the unimaginable come 2019.
