MrMcJay:



There were rerun elections in that Katsina and Bauchi and APC won both.
You are hoping on Pdp shaving off part Apc's 2015 results. Does Pdp have federal might?

Or you think Apc would be fanning Pdp while they are shaving off Apc's votes.

This is PDP's first general election without federal might.

By Monday morning, Pdp would be stark naked like a trainee olosho.

You are really bad

Emilokoiyawon:
I think if you read between the lines you will notice that PDP/BALLARD want Nigerians to see this survey. Why? You might ask? Read (below) where they said "...Hillary (Clinton) lost to us...because of overconfidence induced...by erroneous poll results." It seems to me that they hope that when APC supporters see this survey, they, believing that Buhari already has it in the bag, will see no point in going to vote for Buhari. This will then hand the victory to Atiku. This was partly what happened in 2016 between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

It remains to be seen if this desperate tactics will work with Nigeria voters.

Another angle..

Their lies have run to an end and Buhari wins by a large margin.

They would disable their accounts once again.

After this round of defeat, I hope they will look for a decent means of livelihood. They could embrace farming.
No food for a Lazy man.
Buhari is building a new generation of hardworking Nigerians, not the usual rent seeking way of the past

They are waiting for their last dinner (alert) from Atiku before their bubble burst on Saturday..

If they missed their payment by Friday, Atiku will no longer pick their calls after the results must have been announced

Buhari to Atiku: Are you sure you have not picked my pocket as we are standing here?

Atiku to Buhari; Hahaha Baba, I tried, but for the stingy man that you are, I could not remove the money in your pocket. You put everything under lock and key (TSA). Mr Super Glue

2015: Buhari buys N27.5m nomination form, says cost too high
Friday, October 17, 2014

Ayorinde Oluokun



Former Head of State, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) on Thursday paid N27.5 million for the expression of interest and nomination forms to contest the Nigerian presidency under the platform of presidency opposition All Progressives Congress, APC in the 2015 general elections.

Buhari who formally declared his intention to contest the presidency on Wednesday however complained that the cost of the nomination form was too high.

The former Head of State was accompanied to the APC National Secretariat, Abuja by some bigwigs of the party including former minister of Federal Capital Territory, Malam Nasir El-Rufai and Timipre Slyva, the former Governor of Bayelsa State who handed over the cheque for the purchase of the forms to officials of the party.

They were received by officials of the party led by Chief John Oyegun, the National Chairman of APC.

Buhari regretted that he could not influence the party to reduce the price of the forms to especially to take care of the disabled, women and other disadvantaged groups who may want to participate in the process.

“It’s a pity I couldn’t influence this amount to be put down ‎as in the case of ladies and the disable that intend to participate. I always look left and right in our meetings but I could not read sympathy, so I kept my trap.

The former Head of State said he felt sorry for himself because he wanted to pay for the forms himself as he has always done and has had to put his banker on notice.

“N27 million is a big sum, thankfully I have personal relationship with the manager of my bank in Kaduna and I told him that very soon the forms are coming, so, whether I am on red, or green or even black please honour it otherwise I may lose the nomination.

However, Chief Oyegun, told Buhari and his entourage that the party decided to make the nomination fees high to separate the men from the boys.

He added that the party was aware that Buhari has those who believe in him enough to support him to buy the forms.

MrAJQ:
The PDP and wailers will hate this

Of course, they will not like a news like this. They had their opportunity for 16 years to make Nigeria great, but unfortunately, they turned Nigeria into a failed state

Buhari is good for Manufacturing.
Nigeria currently has the highest PMI - Manufacturing in the world with 59 points.

PDP and do or die politics are one and the same. But Nigerians will resist them

7 things GDP numbers tell us about Buhari’s reelection bid

February 12

by Mayowa Tijani

On Tuesday, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) released the gross domestic product (GDP) numbers, showing a 1.93 percent growth in the Nigerian economy for the year 2018.

Financial analysts, public commentators, local and foreign media, and opposition bigwigs have said repeatedly that President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has done poorly with the revival of the economy.

Former president Olusegun Obasanjo, who is fiercely opposed to Buhari’s reelection, went as far as saying Buhari is weak on the economy, after over a year in economic recession.

Obasanjo added that a change of the current administration will birth “a government that will improve the economy, regain the confidence of investors and generally drive growth”.

TheCable reviews seven things the GDP numbers say about President Buhari and his re-election bid.

1. BUHARI IS REVIVING AGRICULTURE — FOR REAL

Buhari and Emefiele

President Buhari promised to revive agriculture, and diversify the Nigerian economy. His government, in partnership with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) launched the Anchor’s Borrowers Programme (ABP) to empower smallholder farmers in the country.

The GDP numbers show that Buhari’s plan in agricuture has been working — beyond the rhetoric, as agriculture now contributes over three times more to the Nigerian economy, than oil does.

“Four activities make up the Agricultural sector: Crop Production, Livestock, Forestry and Fishing. sector grew by 18.58% year-on-year in nominal terms in Q4 2018, showing an increase of 8.45% points from the same quarter of 2017,” the NBS report read.

“Crop Production remains the major driver of the sector, accounting for 89.84% of nominal agriculture GDP. On an annual basis, agriculture GDP grew by 14.27%, higher than 11.29% recorded in 2017, The sector contributed 23.08% to nominal GDP in Q4 2018 , which is higher than its contribution in Q4 2017”.

There are evidence of growth in virtually every part of the agriculture sector, despite the floods recorded in the year under review.

2. BUHARI IS STILL ‘BABA GO SLOW’ — BUT STEADY
Buhari’s major economic policy document is the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP). The president and his team say they have remained committed to the plan, which they say will make Nigeria grow again.

According to the plan, and 2018 budget projections, the Buhari administration forecast that the economy would grow by 3.5 percent in 2018. But based on the GDP numbers released on Tuesday, the economy grew by a sluggish 1.93 percent.



On the economy, Buhari’s government has been delivering slow, but steady growth, since exiting recession in 2017.

3. NIGERIA STILL HAS AN OIL PRODUCTION PROBLEM
While Nigeria does not want to fixate its economic prosperity on oil and gas, Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo had made it clear that Nigeria needs oil money to get out of oil dependence.

As the country shifts to the non-oil sector, there is a need to make as much money as the country can make from oil to develop other sectors of the economy. But Nigeria is not making the most of oil.

“In the fourth quarter of 2018, average daily oil production stood at 1.91 million barrels per day (mbpd). This was lower than the 1.95 mbpd recorded in the same quarter of 2017, and 1.94mbpd in Q3 2018,” NBS estimates.

This is less than budgetary benchmarks of 2.3 million barrels per day projected by the Buhari administration, and less than production levels under previous governments.

Despite an increase in oil prices in 2018, Nigeria “recorded a real GDP growth rate of –1.62% (year-on-year) in Q4 2018, indicating a decline of –12.81% points relative to the growth rate recorded in the corresponding quarter of 2017”.

This highlights a production problem in the oil sector.

4. BUHARI’S TEAM DROPPING THE BALL ON MINING

Fayemi stepped down as minister in 2018

Following the appointment of Kayode Fayemi as the minister of mines and steel development, the Buhari admin made significant progress in mining across the country.

But the numbers show that there has been a drop in the reality of the sector.

“In real terms, the Mining and Quarrying sector grew by –1.23% in Q4 2018. This was lower than rate recorded in Q4 2017 (10.7%) but higher than the growth rate in Q3 2018 (-2.81%).

“The sector’s contribution to real GDP in Q4 2018 stood at 7.23%, slightly lower than its contribution of 7.49% recorded in Q4 2017 and the 9.53% recorded in the Q3 2018. The sector contributed 8.74% to total real GDP in 2018.”

5. MANUFACTURING IS BOOMING UNDER BUHARI
Buhari’s foreign exchange policy has been to limit what is being imported into Nigeria and increase what is being produced locally. With the support of the Central Bank of Nigeria, the government has been very strict on this.

The numbers show that Buhari’s plan is paying off, as Nigeria’s manufacturing sector seems to be booming.



“In the fourth quarter of 2018, nominal GDP growth for the Manufacturing sector was recorded at 33.57%, which is 24.37% points higher than the rate recorded in the corresponding period of 2017 (9.20%)”.

Buhari is pro-local manufacturing, and the numbers are on his side.

6.TELECOMMUNICATIONS GETTING BIGGER WITH BUHARI

Telecommunications has soared under the leadership of Umar Danbatta

“Telecommunications & Information Services under Information and Communication sector grew by 16.67% in Q4 2018 from 14.97% in Q3 2018 and -3.28% in Q4 2017,” the report read.

Nigeria’s telecoms sector is contributing immensely to the country’s gross domestic product, and has continued on an upward trend from third quarter 2017 to date.

7. NOLLYWOOD ISN’T DOING SO WELL WITH BUHARI
While the information and communications sector of the economy has been doing so well under Buhari, the section of it, which makes up a large part of Nollywood — Motion Pictures, Sound recording and Music production — has not been doing so well.

Its been a rough road with the Buhari administration: In Q2 2017, the sector shrank by 4.53 percent, and recorded growth of 1.02 percent by the end of the year, only to shrink by 2.29 percent by Q2 2018.

At the end of the year under review (2018), the sector grew 0.55 percent.

The same zig-zag growth and decline have been recorded in the broadcasting, arts, entertainment and recreation sectors of the economy.

Obasanjo may have said Buhari is weak with the economy, the incumbent may have said he has done well with the economy. But what do the numbers say to you?

Nobody will come up to fake this stuff . I swear .
It’s the real deal . It was probably leaked ,against their wishes

I completely agree bro. Let them continue to live in denial. Saturday is only 2 days away. Then, we will be done with all their shenanigans

jmaine:
Stop being a fraud. This nonsense has been debunked by the agency.. Stop following Jeffphilips blindly...

No problem. Whether he wrote the report but now denying it or not, Saturday is just 2 days away. All doubts will be cleared and Athiefkulators will weep like the wailers that they are

neyop85:
Caveat emptor.

There is an entire 32 page detailed report on this.

Escalze:
Rubbish.

APC now resorting to predictions to calm their nerves.

I have ATIKUlated OBIdiently and will cast my vote for them come Saturday.

Have you?

Yes, you have atikulated obidiently. Even the report acknowledged that Athiefikulators are mostly from South East Nigeria

Dubai Strategy has failed. Fake News did not help PDP as it did not help them in 2015. Are they planning on rigging or cause violence?
They will equally fail at this as well.

CNN should face their Trump who described CNN as a Fake news purveyor. How old is Trump again? Trump major challenger during their last election was Hilary Clinton. How old is she again?

SocialJustice:
N50m for 10 years is N5bn, the misappropriated amount is more than N100bn. Where did the other N95bn+ go to? Please don't quote me again, I hate stupid people who refuse to learn.

See, nobody is trying to exonerate Uduaghan. He is part of Delta state problem. The fact that he is in APC does not mean he has become a saint. Currently, there are two ex Governors serving jail terms. They defected to APC after 2015, it does not stop their prosecution and going to jail. Ibori, their Godfather is now a free man in Nigeria, it does not mean that his time to account for what he stole from Delta state will not come. Not witstanding that he served jail terms in UK after Nigerian Judges freed him.

What is bad is bad. Delta state and other Niger Delta states should be able to ask their Governors and representatives where is the infrastructure despite the huge FG allocations, NDDC, huge debt profile since 1999.
Almost 50 billion naira every quarter, where is the infrastructure?

Nigerians let us do the right thing. I completely agrees with Chief Femi Branch. Shame on the Govt for allowing this to happen.

Another Peter the sand

This Onnoghen is a very corrupt judge

APCsupporter:
I can list 200 convicted criminals from your tribe. Having Philip alone doesn't make you special. We have Yoruba people like that too. I need you to mention at least 50 people from your tribe

That story about Phillip Enegweali is scam. Google to see that the guy is a complete fraud just like the rest of his clan. He has been exposed long time ago.

deomelo:
This is just too sad, shameful and heartbreaking.


A crook and despicable element like atiku is the savior of ibo people when in fact he's worthless and can not save anything, not even his own skin..

The day I saw this picture, I feel realy sad for the Ibos. Imagine their Patriarch putting all their hopes in the hands of a thief like Athieku.

deomelo:
The average ibo is naive, shallow, paranoid, lazy thinking, gullible, easy to manipulate and socially, culturally and collectively self destructive.

Yeparipa.
It's like you know them too well.

dadark:
i understood 500 sef....

igbos have a special type of english....if you hanged around with them for a while,you will be capable to tell if a person speakin englich is igbo or not....their english sound like ak47....

Yes, you are right. 500. Unbelievable.

Ak47 - Shakabula..

dadark:
dont misunderstand...am christian myself but i hate falsehood....this is how christians should actualy be,not accusin others of wrong things....

pastors nowadays are just playin on emotions of their followers like politicians do....

Ok.

dadark:
they see themselves like defenders of christianity....as if anybody begged them to be saved to start with....

How can someone claim that one person in his tribe is equal to 500 person in another tribe? Is that not ridiculous?
That is not what Christianity teaches. Christianity teaches humility and meekness.

deomelo:
Total debt.


Kano - 93,715,181,155.05

Delta - 241,231,439,060.79


Delta state's debt is the second largest in Nigeria after Lagos state.

Delta state's debt is almost 3 times larger than Kano.


The question is, what happened to the derivations, huge allocations and IGR in Delta?

Haaaaaaaaaaa..With all the FG allocation and debt, yet no Infrastructure or meaningful development to show for it in Delta state.
This is really bad...

deomelo:
The same biafra that generation after generation of ibo people can not wait to run away from?

The dream of every child in iboland is to grow up, save some money for the next ekenedilishuku out of iboland straight to the SW for survival.

Now Atiku is their Saviour
