Would any of these fintech success stories be possible if Atiku’s PDP did not deregulate the telecom industry 25 years ago

Your work rate on Nairaland has been excellent this election season. Just keep it up, Atiku has been put on notice, and has no choice but to reward your loyalty, even after losing the election.

Enzo Fernandez is not well advised.

This Chelsea team under Alonso is a far better team and project than Man City.

Apart from Arsenal, I don't see any team stopping Chelsea from winning the league this season. They are very strong.

This is just the beginning of the season, don't put your hope high. They can still disappoint.

How to make universities in Nigeria even more viable and a Mayday call

I was the one that proposed many years ago the policy of sharing scholarships or funding to students instead of giving funds to universities directly and the policy has propelled Nigeria to the status of the African country with the highest number of globally ranked universities. It happened within a few years of the policy. kicking off. It happened exactly as I predicted.

I was not contracted to consult for the government but I did a civic duty for which a one off complimentary gift of one million dollars and a permanent consultancy is not too much considering the problem solved but I can not force any one to recognize or acknowledge my contributions.

Even the present policy of a shift to taxation instead of dependence on oil and gas that has changed the fortune of the country, I am the ONLY one in the country that has been advocating for it as the solution since 2007. Most other people are up in arms against corruption alone.

The current administration is the first since I became active to act as if I am being read. The current President Bola Tinubu is also the only politician that joined the online group I created named Project Free Nigeria. One of the aides of former senate President David Mark also contacted me by mail once in my account that was taken over by hackers, I think in 2008 or 2009 but the only subscription to my group by a top politician is by the current President. The President has his faults of course but he has done well by Nigeria because all former presidents after President Obasanjo also were reading everything I wrote and they knew the solutions that are working today too. The solution that is now working in the universities is in an unsolicited paper I sent to the University of St Petersburg in Russia years ago. It is courtesy of that solution that Nigerian universities have now stabilized. All that is by the way

The issue now is the matter of universities that do not want to be remitting part of their inflow to the federal government.
The British empire succeeded more than it's seniors because it operated or started off as a business that must pay it's shareholders as against the Spanish and Portuguese whose royals controlled everything and reported to no one. No audits and etc. In like manner, the universities in Nigeria will succeed more comprehensively if they follow that blueprint of profit seeking and accountability to their owner that funds them as I proposed. Definitely if they do this then the tertiary education sector can become a net income earner for the federal government within a few years as there will come a point when inflow from the sector will surpass budgetary allocations. Other tiers of government should also be mandated to set up their own version of NELFUND (Student Loans board) and the funds flowing into the federal universities for instance should have a portion sent to the federal government. In the long run, the federal government will start making profit. It will eventually happen since private investors in the sector make good returns on their investments in the same country and government making ten percent of what private investors make will be okay.

I believe federal universities should send fifty percent of their tuition revenue, twenty percent of accomodations revenue, ten percent of any research grant won by any local or staff researcher/scholar from anywhere on Earth while there can be negotiations on the sharing formula for inflows from other possible assets on a case by case basis.
The input of the government can be in marketing the universities to research sponsors, prospective students, partnerships and etc. Universities are entities and they can sponsor research on their own too and profit from it etc etc

The Mayday call

I solved the problem of ASUU strikes with my brain and pen and there has not been any ASUU strike in Nigeria for three years. My paper solved it as you would expect a PhD dissertation to do and this is a problem that people paid billions of naira in total for decades were not able to solve. I solved it without being commissioned but I am under the attack of the RCCG, Deeper Life, Winners Chapel and etc and I therefore have no income from work but only from charity. So do your bit as a beneficiary on any level whether as a student or a parent or even an onlooker to get the FG to pay something for the benefit the country is already enjoying as a result of my civic duty.

And if you think that a jobless government official picked up this idea from your Nairaland posting to implement it as a policy, then you must be out of your mind.

And you expecting to be compensated for this, means that you urgently needs to visit your therapist ASAP before your mind completely zonk out.

I AM USING NAIRALAND TO FIND A MEANS TO GET THE FG TO PAY ME FOR MY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY USED THAT IS YIELDING RESULTS FOR THE COUNTRY NIGERIA EVEN AS I HAVE NO INCOME BUT NAIRALAND MANAGEMENT IS BLOCKING ME? ALL NON SOCIAL MEDIA AVENUES TO SEEK AUDIENCE HAVE BEEN BLOCKED

That is the kind of world we live in. A company in business is obstructing a justice that does not slight it in any way just because it can. They lose nothing by supporting justice or by being neutral but choose to obstruct it

Go to Twitter to shout out your grievances. Government people and social media influencers avoid Nairaland like plague.

Each successive government had been fading it out gradually over the decades but it refused to go, until Tinubu cut its root with caterpillar. But unfortunately we the masses are suffering the after effects.

That is because Atiku decided to ignore Arewa pressures 23 years ago, when they wanted Obasanjo to honour his one term agreement with them and be like Mandela.

Was 2003 not the first time Buhari contested and locked down northern bloc votes


@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Around November 2002, 15 of the 21 Governors from the PDP including me, had an ad hoc meeting at my lodge in Abuja to decide who should be nominated by the Governors Committee for election by PDP as the presidential nominee for the 2003 Election.

The Governors Committee decided almost unanimously to get a new candidate instead of President Obasanjo as the Committee was of the view that because of his military background, he was intolerant of dissent and had displayed very dictatorial and vindictive tendencies against those he perceived to be independent-minded and disloyal to him.

Immediately after the Governors meeting, I led the delegation of Governors to meet the then PDP Chairman, Chief Audu Ogbeh, at his residence around 2 am.

As the leader of the delegation, I spoke and communicated the views of the Governors to the Chairman, which was that the Governors had decided not to support President Obasanjo as PDPs nominee for the 2003 General Election.

The party chairman tried to persuade us to review our decision but when he saw our resolve, he told us that he would inform the President. I was later informed by Chief Audu Ogbeh that after we left his house he put an urgent call to the President and informed him of our decision.

What then followed were intense consultations before the PDP annual convention which took place in January 2003. Two days before the party convention, the Governors had a breakfast meeting with President Obasanjo.

I recall that at that meeting, the then Vice President Alhaji Abubakar Atiku told the President in the presence of the Governors that he was known to be very dictatorial, vindictive and unforgiving. The President appealed to the Governors to support him and assured both the Governors and the party leadership that if he was allowed to continue for the second term, he would adopt a more democratic approach.

On the basis of the President's assurance, given at that breakfast meeting, I led the move for the Governors to support his presidential nomination for the second term. However, notwithstanding my support for President Obasanjo's nomination for a second term, the President after the nomination, acted very shabbily towards me.

When I met him soon after the convention, he told me that he had learned that I had put forward the view that he was unsellable, unmarketable and unelectable. He then vowed that he was going to make sure that I was unsellable, unmarketable and unelectable.

Atiku Camp - Visit Wikileaks and type the following in the search bar NIGERIA: DID VP ATIKU OUTFOX BABANGIDA AND OBASANJO DURING THE PDP CONVENTION?

According to Adesanya, Atiku met the governors the first day of the convention; they urged him to leave Obasanjo and seek the nomination himself. Atiku demurred; he also deflected the suggestion that he join Ekwueme. Finally, Atiku arranged a meeting between Obasanjo and the now irate governors. The governors railed that Obasanjo was hypocritically pursuing them for corruption, while turning a blind eye to corrupt politicians within his own Administration. Atiku supported the governor's position, telling Obasanjo that significant corruption was not the exclusive ambit of the governors and that serious transgressions occurred in the executive branch: he said it would be unjust to focus exclusively on gubernatorial excesses. Assuming the role of mediator, Atiku then asked both sides to affirm their mutual support and cease the antagonism being fueled by elements that wanted to destroy the PDP. The governors agreed to bury the hatchet, if Obasanjo would shelve the dossiers. Having demonstrated his influence with the governors, Atiku continued to play coy with Obasanjo.

In the end, Atiku extracted an extraordinary concession from the President. Obasanjo agreed to relinquish the entire domestic agenda to Atiku, including the appointment of key economic policy-makers. Since Obasanjo focused on the world arena during his first term and aspired for recognition as an international statesman, Atiku said that is where he would like Obasanjo's attentions to remain. Obasanjo would serve the role of a "super Foreign Minister" and ceremonial Head of State. As Adesanya understood the agreement, Atiku would be allowed to direct domestic economic policy while Obasanjo busied himself with debt relief, NEPAD, conflict resolution and other measures to shore up Nigeria's image abroad.

OBJ camp - visit Wikileaks and type the following in the search bar NIGERIA: DIFFERENT INSIDER VIEWS ON THE PDP CONVENTION

The President was dazed, Abayomi recalled. Jarred by the unexpected possibility of defeat, the usually know-it-all Obasanjo eagerly solicited counsel on how to escape the closing vise. Early that day, the dominant theme was to seek a court injunction postponing the convention. Proponents suggested the delay to afford Obasanjo time to marshal support and undermine Ekwueme's momentum. However, this idea was ultimately discarded, partially because of apprehension over the public's reaction. More importantly, the push for an injunction became less urgent when the President's advisors began to sense their man was regaining ground by the hour.

The President owed much of his recovery to his own tenacity and, at times, shamelessness. He pulled out virtually all the stops to clinch the nomination, according to Abayomi. For most of that day, the President's diet consisted of liberal portions of humble pie. The President pleaded and cajoled; on at least two occasions his eyes welled with emotion as he pursued fence-sitting delegates and governors. However, Obasanjo saved his best to keep Vice President Atiku from defecting.

With rumor swirling that Atiku would opt to run with Ekwueme, Obasanjo wasted no time visiting the Vice President's residence. Obasanjo begged, declaring he would not leave Atiku's home unless the Vice President accompanied him to win back the delegates and governors. The performance had the desired effect. Atiku joined Obasanjo in publicly lobbying the conventioneers. While it might not have been Obasanjo's finest hour it was the defining moment of the convention. What had been a suspenseful contest would now turn into a rout.

Which side you dey sef. Yesterday you go criticise Atiku as if you be him enemy, today you go support him as if you be him houndsdog. You sure say your July PR dash money don enter your account?

By February 2027, you will be out of job on Nairaland, because your oga Atiku would have dispensed of your service, having finished his long sojourn in Nigeria dirty political waters, to finally retire to Dubai.
