How's Atiku competent? Why are you fooling yourselves? And who told you Atiku is smart enough to engage in a debates? You think his Twitter handler will be the one debating? Like I said, you PDP sycophants will never cease to amaze us!

famosh:
Even Ezekwesili has a possibility of winning! Does that mean it's realistic? Be smart, my friend!
And you're supporting Atiku because of competence even with his antecedence in government, right? The PDP sycophants & IPIGs will never cease to amaze us!

famosh:
You PDP sycophants should quit deluding yourselves with this "let's try Atiku; if he fails, we vote him out" crap! We aren't all as dumb as the IPIGs & PDP sycophants! You're still very bitter about the defeat of the ineffectual buffoon from Otuoke & that's the main reason you want Buhari & APC out! Everyone (or almost everyone) is going to be voting who he/she likes based on party, tribal & religious sentiments, & not because the person would work! So quit this your mumu justification for voting Atiku the thief!
Vote your own, make others vote their own!

Atiku won't enter, & even if he enters & fails, you'll not vote him out! You will still continue to vote your beloved satanic & demonic PDP like you've done since 1999, even at the expense of an Ojukwu who the ibos claim they adore so much!

A video has shown the moment two Nigerian men were caught on camera exchanging heavy blows while arguing about President Muhamamdu Buhari.

The two unidentified men who are obviously from the northern part of Nigeria were speaking about the president in Hausa language when the fight broke out between them publicly.

The young men were discussing about the state of the nation and one of them proceeded to lament bitterly explaining that the country has become worse under the leadership of Buhari.
However, the other man disagreed and warned him not to speak of the president in that manner because Buhari is a good leader.
Their disagreement led to a bitter argument which soon turned physical. The two men then exchanged blows and observers had to intervene.

Address the issues at hand and stop your usual bla bla bla. Typical of Atikulooting zombie, when you confront them with facts and figures, they result to insult. Simple question, Who does Atiku want to sell the NNPC to?

The Minister of Transportation, Mr Rotimi Amaechi, on Sunday said that in the course of executing the Warri-Itakpe Rail line, stations were built in the villages of Peoples’ Democratic Party(PDP)’s chieftains.

Amaechi disclosed this at the `Next Level Presentation’ at Presidential Villa Banquet Hall to signal the commencement of the campaign of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2019 general elections.

The minister who made a presentation titled `What We are Building ’ said that President Muhammadu Buhari, upon assumption of office, directed that old and abandoned projects be completed.

“The truth is that the country is compelled to make a choice between good and bad. When I was appointed the Minister for Transportation, the president warned–do not start new contracts, go and complete old ones.

“We met Itakpe –Warri Rail line which had been in existence for 34 years uncompleted; it would have been the first Standard Guage line in Africa if it was completed.

“Based on the president’s instruction, I did a memo; I thought we will borrow money from China; but the president refused. He said we should use our internal funds to execute the project.

“People saw me on social media on Train service from Warri to Itakpe. I got to Warri 8pm because I was going from one station to the other—almost all the villages and most prominent members of PDP made sure that train stations were in their villages.

“So, I am compelled to do those stations in villages of members of PDP; it is okay; it is the instruction of the president that you must go and finish the old work.’’

He said that the tradition in the past was that once one was elected, one left the old things for the old people and awarded new contracts.

According to Amaechi, the ministry will start commercial service from Itakpe to Warri.

On PDP’s argument that it started the projects, Amaechi said that Buhari made it clear on commissioning the Abuja –Kaduna rail project that the project was started by the former government of President Goodluck Jonathan.

“We completed it but two things are remarkable—we borrowed 500 million dollars to start that project at the time oil was selling at 114 dollars per barrel.

“ We should not have borrowed; you mean this country could not have afforded 500 million dollars?

“I will show that we can; when I wrote a memo to the president and to the cabinet requesting that he should allow me borrow 500 million dollars from China to buy locomotives and coaches for Lagos-Ibadan, the cabinet under the directive of the president refused.

“He(the president) said 500 million dollars; we can get from here and we are funding it from here; so we did and completed Kaduna to Abuja quickly.

“We spend N56million per month and we get N16 million; so we are augmenting for both rich and poor—N40 million per month under the directive of the president because he fears that the poor might not be able to afford it. So, everybody is using it.’’

According to him, Lagos to Ibadan railway is almost complete—a distance of 156kms.

The minister said that application had also been made to construct Kano to Kaduna railway as approval for funds is being awaited.

“We are about to award the central line from Abuja to Niger to Baru from Baru to Itakpe to Warri; the president had approved a new seaport in Warri. We are negotiating with a Chinese company which will build it.

“Do not forget that N2.7 billion dollars is N1 trillion. So, we are looking for money to commence already awarded work on the coastal rail.

“The coastal rail starts from Lagos, from Lagos; it passes through Ogun State, Ondo, Benin, Asaba, and Onitsha. From Benin again, it passes through Warri, Sapele, Ughelli, to Bayelsa, in fact, it goes to Utuoke. From Otuoke, it goes to Port Harcourt.

“ Then from Port Harcourt, it goes to Aba, Uyo, and ends up in Cross River State.

“We are almost ready to award Port Harcourt to Maidugiri. The difference between us and the last award is that the last award was 1500km but under the directive of Mr President, it was extended to 2000 km.

“ The last award was Port Harcourt straight to Maidugiri but in order to satisfy everybody at the directive of the President, we must get to every state capital,’’ he said.

On his part, Mr Babatunde Fashola, the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, said that it would require a long journey into Nigeria’s history to recall when last it had massive investment in infrastructure.

“It is no coincidence that we look to the 1970s and the 1980s when we built new airports, new seaports, new refineries, new highways and bridges.

“The closest you will have to that era is the 1990s when petrol-money was also being applied to upgrade infrastructure under the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF)incidentally chaired by Buhari.

“We lost an enormous opportunity when recently oil money rose to $114 dollar per barrel and stayed there for almost a decade and we have no new airport, refinery, bridges, petrochemical plants, no new seaports to show accountability to how all the money went,’’ he said.

Here is a video of a beautiful young lady wearing bum shorts and tries to twerk on her boyfriend.

Her man suddenly pushed her away, screaming that she has Smelly private part, that she should go and wash it, use perfume or cologne.

The guy brought out body spray and sprayed on her. The girl was just dumbfounded.

Nigerians on social media have berated the man, saying that he's very rude.
Watch video HERE and see reactions as many condemn the young man's act.

A thread was on front page misleading people that Governor Ganduje bought over 100 buses for use by Buhari for his campaign.

This news was not properly vetted and ended up on front page.

The truth is that these buses were bought by Yakubu Gobir of Kware state as his personal donation to the Buhari/Osinbajo campaign for 2019.

His tweet about this which clears the air is attached .

Septre:
That is how things should be ideally all over Nigeria. When you stay in an area for a particular length of time you become a citizen of that state and should be eligible to vie for elective office. That is why you see Nigerian elected to positions abroad also. If this happens all over Nigeria we would be better united as a country.

EMERGENCY

For example, a plane that’s suppose to fly from Lagos to New York city loads enough fuel to reach their destination. Everything is going fine then suddenly a pregnant woman who is on board goes into labor. If there’s no nurse on board and the flight attendants cannot handle the issue, the only choice will be to make an emergency landing.

The flight crew will alert the pilots on the situation and the pilots will have to land in the nearest airport. The first thing the pilots will check is the weight of the aircraft. For an aircraft that has enough fuel to reach New York, of course the landing weight will be far above normal. In this scenario, the pilot must dump enough fuel in order to reduce the weight of the aircraft before landing.

https://i1.wp.com/techcapon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/leavingbarbadoslongexposure-0.jpg?resize=768%2C432&ssl=1

The pilots have no choice. There are 3 things that add weight to an aircraft. Passengers, luggage and fuel. Obviously the pilots cannot dump passengers. Neither can they dump cargo (except in very rare cases), the only option is to dump fuel.

The pilot will dump the fuel, make the emergency landing in order to get the pregnant woman to the hospital, refuel before they can continue the journey. Of course dumping fuel is a big loss to the airline companies. They lose big money anytime these things occur but it’s better to dump fuel than land an overweight aircraft thereby damaging the aircraft or jeopardizing the lives of everyone on board.

Alhaji Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information and Culture in this interview with TEMIDAYO AKINSUYI debunks the claim by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that he is diverting funds meant for his Ministry into President Muhammadu Buhari’ campaign for 2019. Excerpts:

The PDP, through its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbodiyan has accused you of diverting funds budgeted for your Ministry into President Buhari’s reelection. How true is this claim?

I usually don’t respond to the PDP because they really don’t have anything tangible to say. I think the PDP is just waking up to the realisation that they can’t win this election if the campaigns are based on issues. Our Social Investment Programme didn’t start last year. It didn’t even start in 2016. It started right from day one when we came to office.

This Social Investment Programme is the most apolitical programme of any government you can ever find. As a matter of fact, the truth of the matter is that APC politicians and appointees are very unhappy with the scheme because it does not follow the normal line of political patronage. People involved in this programme are completely apolitical. You apply online and if you are successful, you are chosen. There is no way it can be manipulated. At a point in time, some political appointees complained that you don’t do this. But the Vice- President and his team insisted that it is a social investment programme and it must be apolitical.

The PDP is now suddenly frightened by the success of this programme. That is the honest truth. When this programme started in 2015, PDP thought it was impossible to achieve. Today, this programme comprises of four major components.

There is the School feeding programme. Today, this programme feeds nine million, three hundred thousand pupils, one meal per day. It covers 26 states, about 60, 000 primary schools and in the process, it has employed over 97,000 cooks”.

So, the PDP is definitely frightened by the success. A government that feeds nine million, three hundred thousand pupils in every schoolday and in the process, employs over 97,000 cooks is a government that has left an indelible mark in the sands of time.The fall-out of this is that every week, 594,000 cows are slaughtered to feed these children. Every week, these children consume 6.8 million eggs. So, through this programme, jobs are being provided for farmers. This is the major reason why PDP is frightened and yet that is just one aspect of the social investment programme.

How is this progamme funded?

This programme is funded by budgetary provisions. Every year, we went to the National Assembly to get provision for this programme. The second tranche of this social investment programme is the N-power, which as I speak today has employed about 500,000 unemployed graduates. Again, none of these programmes started yesterday. They all started in 2015, 2016. The third component of the social investment programme is the Conditional Cash Transfer which today services about 297,000 most vulnerable and poorest households in some states of the federation, because it is a pilot programmed that we are running. With this programme, the sum of N5,000 is given every month to about 297,000 most vulnerable and poorest families in Nigeria. The fourth component is the Government Enterprises Empowerment Programmed (GEEP). This is made of three tranches. There is the market money, trader money and farmers money. Between them, they have benefited 1.1 million as cooperatives and individuals. These are programmes that are well advertised and Nigerians know about. So, how can some people now turn around to say that we are using government money for politics as PDP have claimed? When we started this programme, they never gave us a chance.

Between TradersMoni, FarmersMoni and MarketMoni, we have touched the lives of about 1.1 million Nigerians. How can PDP now start complaining that we are using government money for politics? These are visible programmes that are well advertised. The Vice-President has been on the roads in the last three years inaugurating these things. We advertised our school feeding programmes, those benefiting from it are both PDP and APC states. We don’t make any distinction between the children. All the children are Nigerians, our children. So, how can anybody wake up in the night and say it is being funded with Ministry’s funds? The PDP know they debate us on issues. We have touched the lives of so many people. A government that feeds a minimum of nine million, three hundred and sixty four children everyday is not a government that you can toy with. So, that is why the PDP is afraid. They are jittery. The average students doesn’t care who is providing the meals for him in school.

Looking at the polity right now, would you say your party has fulfilled its electoral promises to the people?

We were very categorical that we were going to address three areas of governance; we are going to fight corruption; we are going to fight insecurity and we are going to revamp the economy. I can say, with all sense of modesty, that we can beat our chest that we have delivered in all those areas.

In the area of power, we inherited 2,900 MWs of power; today we are generating more than 7,000 MW of power. Of course we are unable to transmit all the power because of the state of the transmission line, and don’t forget that even that power had been largely privatised even before we came in and we had been able to give support. We guaranteed N702 billion revolving loan that if you produce, we pay and that is why you have seen this exponential increase in power supply. So, I do not see any area where we cannot say we have not made progress

You see we have delivered all promises we made. We came in and we promised we were going to fight insecurity. At that time, the major threat to the corporate existence of Nigeria was the Boko Haram insurgency and despite what anybody says, we have decimated Boko Haram. We brought Boko Haram under complete control because when we came in on May 29, 2015, 24 local governments in the North East, an area three times the size of Lebanon, were under the effective control of Boko Haram and what this means is that they were running the administration. As a matter of fact, once we got to Maiduguri, that was the end of Borno State. If you move outside, either to Kaure, Konduga or Bama, they were under the control of Boko Haram. By 2014, 2015, nobody in Abuja could sleep with his two eyes closed. They came and attacked ThisDay headquarters with casualties, they attacked the UN Headquarters, they attacked the IGP office, Nyanya park was bombed twice, they were active in Suleja, Kaduna, Sokoto, Plateau, Nasarrawa, Kogi. As a matter of fact, there was hardly any state in the North that Boko Haram was not operating. It was nipped in the bud in Kwara.

But today there is relative peace. We have been able to recover all territories and today no single inch of Nigerian territory is under the Boko Haram control. Yes, there have been suicide bombings, that is what terrorism is all about. Few months ago in US, we saw terrorist attack. About three months ago, we saw what happened in Texas. Terrorists killed many children. This is not a sign of renewed threat rather it is a sign of desperation and weakness. Look at the regularity it used to occur and now. It is all about intelligence gathering.

AnanseK:
A common problem in Nigeria but children of hate will make it a major disaster in Buhari’s case. Because they can’t link him to money laundering, to adulterous affair, to alcoholism, to private estate development with office money, to offshore banking, Swiss banking , to cultism, to homosexuality, and many other vices and immoralities , Babangida has investigated him tire, OBJ investigated him for years no show, so they dwell on irrelevancies.

This is not the main rally. This was more like a warm up exercise.

You would fail if you actually use this as a yardstick to measure or compare anything prior to Saturday.

“Total $55 million is what Adams is alleged to have received. Some party chieftains claim it is $80 million,” a source aware of the contents of the report told SaharaReporters. According to report, $17 million is what Oshiomhole allegedly received as bribe from Zamfara: $10 million for him, $7 million shared between Farouk Adamu, former Minority Leader of the House of Representatives; Niyi Adebayo, former Governor of Ekiti State. He received from other party chieftains, too.



https://twitter.com/SaharaReporters/status/1063040722436268032?s=20[/quote]But oshiomole has stated Clearly on several occasions that he carried buhari all along in everything he did,that means buhari is privy to all the corruption that took place so asking buhari to prosecute oshiomole is akin to asking buhari to resigned n be prosecuted!,so much for the acclaimed my integrity n honesty!!,we await buhari/Apc actions towards this even though anyone's guess is as good as mine.

Personally, I think the judge is biased. The federal Government, through the military, went to Kanu's house to kill him. He escaped and left the country to save his life. Why is the judge holding the sureties responsible for what the government caused? If Kanu had stayed back to be killed, would Justice Binta Nyako have ordered that the Sureties bring his dead body to court for trial? Of course not

So why penalise the sureties over a situation the government caused? I think Abaribe and co should head to the appeal court because this is miscarriage of justice

NAIJAHITPLAY:
The Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the three persons, including Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe, who stood sureties for the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, to within two months, pay the sum of N100m each into the court’s account for their inability to produce the missing Biafran activist in court.

Justice Binta Nyako gave the order on Wednesday in a ruling in which she amended the conditions of the bail she had in April 2017 granted Kanu.

Kanu is being prosecuted before the court on charges of treasonable felony.
His trial had been earlier separated from that of his co-accused following his disappearance after a military invasion of his home in Afara-Ukwu, Umuahia, in Abia State, on September 14, 2017
The three sureties who guaranteed his bail had been made to sign a bail bond of N100m each which was backed by their landed assets whose documents were deposited in court.
But with the amendment ordered by the court on Wednesday, they are now required to deposit cash of N100m in the bank account of the court.
Justice Nyako ruled that the three sureties had two months to pay the sum of N100m each into the court’s account.
The judge reiterated that the order directing the sureties to pay the money was an order of interim forfeiture.
She fixed March 28 for the hearing of the motions filed by the sureties to challenging the duties imposed on them to produce the IPOB leader.

Mr Babatunde Fashola, the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, says the Federal Government has awarded N206 billion contract for the main work on the Second Niger Bridge. 2nd-Niger-Bridge Fashola who spoke in Abuja during an interactive session with newsmen noted that the contract was awarded to Julius Berger Construction Company. He said that the project, expected to be completed in 36 months would be funded under the Presidential Infrastructure Development Fund (PIDF). A-Ibom govt to Akpabio: You lied over Uyo-Ikot Ekpene Road According to him, funding the project under PIDF means that work will no longer stop on account of lack of funding. He said that the Lagos-Ibadan expressway and Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano road projects would also be funded under PIDF. Fashola said that the contract for the main work on the Second Niger Bridge was awarded after the completion of the four phases of the project. He said that the early works were preliminary projects to be completed before the main work, adding that all the early works were done in the river and not visible from the existing bridge. According to him, with the award of the main work, there will be a lot of piling works in the water and that is what people will see.

StOla:
There's conflicting information on whether it was 1961 or 1962. Many different sources online reference either one.

But none references an earlier time of 1960 when we are certain he had not written his exams.

StOla:
Records shows he joined the army in 1962.

His application to the Army was in 1961 prior to writing the exams, hence the recommendation letter from his Principal who was certain he would pass his WASC as stated in the letter.

That alone is proof that there was an exam in the offing and it was understood by all parties involved that the exam would be taken.

This exam was taken in 1961, for which we do not have such old record of the month. He joined the army in 1962 having already taken the WASC in 1961, for which only those who were his colleagues at that time would know what month the Army recruited in 1962.

StOla:
For the benefit of the ignorant.

It shows Buhari with registration No. 002.

It shows his classmates, some who are notable Nigerians.

This has been available since 2015, but many still insist they must never be convinced because they prefer the alternative. They need a propaganda to peddle.

Did you see where he said his friend was lucky to still have a photocopy which he tendered?

Did you see Buhari's registration number on that certificate? That alone can be used to verify if a candidate actually sat for an exam(don't know if you can go as far as 1961).

On WAEC's website, the requirements for an attestation includes a photocopy of your certificate(where applicable) which the old man has no hold of.

Enough of this pettiness and redundant talks.

ionsman:
Lol...

OP, why didn't you show everything? That guy is a staunch Buharist and put that up to back his claim. For those too lazy to verify things before commenting what they've been programmed to comment, this is the full story; pix below...

If y'all are actually as intelligent like you parade yourselves, you'll know that what you really need is the candidate's REG NO. which is clearly inscribed on the President's attestation cert. From what that Nigga said, his friend was LUCKY to still have a photocopy of his original result.

Now, try and work with the REG NO. on the president's certificate, let's know your findings.

Time is too precious to joke around with,only a Foolish person will waste their time trying to convince a stiff neck like yourself.

Please Read General Shehu YarAdua’s book,'A Life of Service': It detailed how they (Shehu & Buhari) were in Class in Secondary School in Katsina, when Captain Jack Gowon (now Yakubu Gowon) came to their school to recruit them when they both were members of the Katsina Provincial Secondary School Cadet Corps in 1961. And they left school the next Monday to join the Army and were sent straight to Sandhurst a few months later, and were commissioned in 1962 (unlike now).
