REVEALED: How Aso Rock Cabal Misled Buhari Into Fuel, Naira Crises Over Plot To Make Atiku President[sub][/sub]



By Alhassan Bello

As Nigerians suffer on the crises caused by the fuel scarcity and naira swap, it has been revealed that the Aso Rock cabal led by Mallam Mamman Daura is behind the problem that is making Nigerians to suffer.

Credible sources disclosed in Abuja, Katsina, Adamawa and Sokoto states that those who lost the primaries of APC tried to convince Daura to change President Muhammadu Buhari's mind in his support for Bola Ahmed Tinubu. No particular person among the losers was mentioned in the plot, but reports suggest that the plotters sold a dummy to Daura that Tinubu will not respect Buhari after getting power.

According to the sources, Daura first snubbed the promoters of the idea. It was learnt that Daura later agreed to join the plot when Atiku Abubakar, who is very close to him, convinced him that Buhari would be making a terrible mistake to allow power move to the South where northern interests may be jeopardised. Atiku told Daura several fabricated stories by a team of blackmailers he set up in PDP to argue his point.

It was learnt that to achieve the plot, Atiku and some  PDP leaders set up a blackmail group led by Nduka Obaigbena to paint a frightening picture of Fulani suffering under a southern President.  According to the sources, in this group are Dino Melaye, Sokoto Governor Aminu Tambuwal, Sule Lamido and Raymond Dokpesi.

The sources explained that Melaye and members of his group are playing on Daura's mindset in his pro-Fulani sentiment to always place Fulani interest above any other interest in Nigerian politics.

They convinced Daura that his kinsman, Atiku Abubakar, will protect Fulani interest in the coming administration while they had discovered an alleged grand plan by Tinubu and some Eastern leaders to work against Fulani interest after taking power down South.

Convinced by the presentation of  Obaigbena, Atiku was again invited by Daura, who promised Atiku that situations would be created that would make him enjoy support across the country. By this time, Atiku himself was in the dark about what the plan would be. He was asked to come back again.

Before he came back, Daura had perfected his plan. He lied to Buhari, relying on the stories by Obaigbena-led blackmail group. To implement the plot,  Daura asked Atiku to raise N85 billion to start organising his campaign. Atiku said he could not raise the money because he was broke and was yet to recover from the last presidential primaries and election expenses after losing to Buhari.

Daura therefore hatched a plan to convince Buhari to reimburse PDP states that implemented Federal projects so that he could be seen as a national leader who does not discriminate. Buhari agreed. Daura, who is widely known for his rabid pro-Fulani disposition, thereafter tutored Atiku to worm himself to the hearts of PDP governors that will benefit from the windfall. Buhari was convinced by his nephew and paid the money to the states. Some of these governors include Nyesom Wike of Rivers, Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta and Godwin Obaseki of Edo State. But the plan failed to work as Wike began a political war with Atiku and so could not release Rivers money to Atiku. Obaseki also refused to surrender his state money, but Okowa released huge sums of money to Atiku for their joint campaign.

When details of how Okowa surrendered Delta money to Atiku leaked, civil servants and pensioners protested on the streets and asked Okowa to explain how he spent their money. The South East governors that benefited from Buhari's windfall also refused to surrender their money.

With Atiku facing imminent failure, Daura called in Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele, and NNPC Managing Director, Alhaji Kyari, a Fulani, to join in the plot to blackmail APC into failure and set Nigerians against the party. Emefiele was not difficult to convince to join the plot because he and Okowa are cousins from Agbor, Delta State. Daura worked on Emefiele to convince Buhari about the international honour he will get if he organises credible election devoid of votes buying. Emefiele therefore bypassed Finance Minister, his supervisory authority, to convince Buhari to change Nigeria currency to purportedly prevent votes buying.

The ignorant Buhari who always wants to be seen as upright, bought into the idea. Even the Federal Ministry of Finance fumed over the plan because without its input, Daura convinced Buhari that naira change was the best option for Buhari to organise a clean election. While Daura had hoped that PDP governors would surrender the reimbursements by Buhari to finance Atiku's election, reality dawned on him when these governors, except Okowa, refused to surrender their money.

Kyari also quickly joined the plot that has potential to keep him in office after Atiku's victory, hence the crisis in fuel distribution system that has crippled the nation's economy, resulting in sufferings all over Nigeria in which APC government is held responsible, not knowing that PDP is at work in collaboration with Buhari's nephew.

In the last few days, Dino Melaye has been visiting Emefiele's house during dark hours along with some CBN senior officials of Fulani stock,  according to another credible source in Abuja.

And so with failure imminent in Atiku's camp, the  option of blackmailing APC as a bad party is better, by setting Nigerians against the party by twin plots of petrol scarcity and printing of small quantities of naira notes while setting a short timeline  to effect a change of naira to create scarcity, a method that can't work even in a country of 30 million people. By these plots, Nigerians will naturally campaign against APC as a bad party amid widespread suffering that will create opportunity for Atiku to win.

But all the plots collapsed as northern governors led by Nasir El-Rufai and Atiku Bagudu got wind of the plot. They spoke with Buhari about the problem, reminding him about the sacrifices the Southern politicians made to give victory to Buhari. Surprisingly, Bauchi Governor was reported to buy into El-Rufai's group argument. Therefore, within a short period, the cabal held several meetings while El-Rufai group also held their meetings.

In one of the meetings, Buhari was reminded about his place in history and that he should remember that he could not spend his youth to keep Nigeria one during the civil war but now spend his adult life to divide Nigeria. He was told clearly that the West will naturally join the East to end the union called Nigeria if Buhari sticks to the Daura plot to retain power in the North.

According to sources, Buhari had to bend from his hard line stance when young elements of his Fulani stock told him the truth about the impending danger if Northern politicians break the agreement with their Southern counterparts, more so that the last Constutional Conference recommended power rotation between North  and South, which political parties in Nigeria, including PDP and APC, adopted in their zoning arrangement in their constitutions.

The fallout of the initiatives of the young elements in Northern establishment led to the meeting with Buhari on Friday where Buhari was told about the dangers of failing to follow the agreement on power rotation.

For now, PDP's plot with Daura, who wants a Fulani man to succeed Buhari at all costs, may fail as Buhari may not be able to control the anger and rebellion that will follow the failure to take power back to the South.

That's why the status quo will remain in the country called Nigeria. The less the military are involved our democracy the better for us

How many members has he empower? Alihamdulilah

What's the big deal ? If he acted ignorantly, must you imitate the ignorance? After all, he fed you all so why bragging about feeding him.

To attain optimum quality from cashewnuts, please use jute bags for storage always.

From these reactions you deduce easily that they know nothing about democratic processes, hinging on sentiments and fire brigade approach to win elections.

As a smallholding farm, with little value addition or processing capacity, your best bet is cashew. Apart from the fact that a new improved variety which fruits in 3 years called polyclonal cashew seedlings are now available, it is a rugged cash crop and demand little post harvest handling compared to other crop. With 2 hectares you will need 200 seedlings to plant with 10 meter distance on GAP, and I implore you insert oil palm intermittently which can accommodate more than 50 trees if you must.

Banks are silent killers and unarmed robbers.
If you're in doubt, below are series of charges always placed on innocent customers in a single banking transaction.
1 VAT.
2. Account maintenance charges
3. SMS alert charges
4. Transfer charges
5. Postal STAMP DUTY charges
6. Weekend charges.
Now, the Apex bank, the unarmed robbers' boss introduced a CASHLESS ECONOMY whereby everyone does not need to carry cash for any transaction.
The problem is this: I am Cement Trader. The landing cost of a bag of cement is #3,550 while we sell #3,600. That is a profit of just #50 per bag of cement.
Now on every 2 bags of cement, a customer transfers #7,200 into my account due to CASHLESS policy and my profit is #100.
To my amazement, the bank deducted the following on that transaction!
1. #53 transfer charges.
2. #100 Postal STAMP duty.
3. #6.98 VAT.
4. #76 SMS alerts charges.
5. #93.13 account maintenance charges.
If that was not enough, on every single transaction, both account FROM which money is being transferred and the account TO which money is being transferred were charged for same transaction (electronic transfer Levy) .
If you're in doubt, find out by requesting for your account statement.
Don't forget the bank had already laid off and reduced number of staff due to self service banking system and also more customers don't have to visit banking hall for transaction again.
So. Amount being paid on salaries and allowances of staff has dropped.
Did the CBN Governor or FED government know what they are doing at all?
Or it was a deliberate act of exploiting the poor citizens?
So, we are now being tricked, enslaved by Government and the Bank?
This government will still come and collect income tax, trade permit at both state and federal level.
Who do we offend in Nigeria for us to have such extremely bad leaders, worst agencies and bad Nation like this?
No wonder businesses are folding up and liquidated on daily basis!?!
No wonder people now bury cash in cemeteries and farms?
Our Senators and House of Rep members who are supposed to be vanguard of the common people are not but a curse as well.
Who will put an end to all this injustices?
While I run around in the rain and sun for business to survive, the bank management just sit back in air conditioning and relax to feed on our sweat.
Very soon, they will complain of shortage of cash in circulation because people will find alternative savings and security for the cash
*Nigerian lawyers (NBA) and Organised Private Sector, this is where your services to the common man are seriously needed.

Nobody will take action now!!! Concerned groups will not make their grievances known and shove it back to Sender because it's an arbitrary decision but you will start hearing gibberish after the law is passed due to their inaction

Oh Almighty, I'm grateful for being on the right path, please make me steadfast even hough it's uneasy.
YOU commanded us to separate rooms among siblings at a specific age
YOU admonished us to desist from dressing in the presence of our kids
YOU insisted we knock before we enter into any room even in our own house
YOU implore females to cover their body fully and dress properly evrytime
YOU even instructed that a male and female shouldn't be in a confine for a certain period of time because of shaytan, the devil's numerous machinations...

YOUR rules and regulations are pure guidance for those who are sincere and can think deeply about your creatures
ALIHAMDULILAH, ISLAM IS A WAY OF LIFE

How I wished Tinubu was the president during this trial, out of all these candidates because Nigeria's problems are beyond her shores and I only see him using that position to its fullest potentials.
The West and these so called giant conglomerates must be checkmated to make this great country thrive democratically.

Is this particular position as exalted as the president of this country, Nigeria that you need only SSCE to occupy Abegggg shift, short memory dey worry us

This a miniscule of what to expect in Peter Obi"s administration if at all he wins... ALL COMERS

A white American Christian young lady is more than just a terrorist but an "evil piece of flesh demon."

Alihamdulilah robil alamin

that is what I expected from a responsible government, how could a guest be directing the affairs of the host without proper consultation?

Alihamdulilah!!

This is a party that is yet to offset their staff salaries and refuesd to complete its secretariat since 1999 paying rent at WADATA HOUSE

this same set also enjoys special forex at the expense of small businesses that employ a larger chunk of the population.

That is what small business owners face under this hike in fuel and many are aground, meanwhile, your approach is meant to fail right from the beginning because a train ride is supposed to be cheaper but you turned it into luxury where ordinary people are not considered

Alihamdulilah!!!

Briton confesses::
""""""""""""""""""""""

The man *Harold Smith* is not new in Nigerian history. He is one of the architects of colonial foundation that midwife Nigerian independence in 1960.

His response was *"I am in my 80s now; I have agreed but in the past' they' did not want me to say anything, but now I don't want to go to my grave without telling the truth about the atrocities perpetrated in Africa by the colonialists.*

Brothers and sisters; on Ben TV last Thursday, Harold Smith was on a program to reveal what went behind the scene before the independence.

The Oxford University graduate had this to say about his role in Nigeria pre and after independence era.

*‘Our agenda was to completely exploit Africa . Nigeria was my duty post. When we assessed Nigeria, this was what we found in the southern region; *strength, intelligence, determination to succeed, well established history, complex but focused life style, great hope and aspirations*…

the East is good in _business and technology_
the west is good in _administration and commerce, law and medicine_, but it was a pity we planned our agenda to give power "at all cost" to the northerner.

They seemed to be *_submissive and silly of a kind._*

Our mission was accomplished by destroying the opposition at all fronts. The west led in the fight for the independence, and was punished for asking for freedom. _They will not rule Nigeria !_

Harold Smith confessed that the Census results were announced before they were counted. Despite seeing vast land with no human but cattle in the north, we still gave the north 55 million instead of 32 Million.

This was to be used to maintain their majority votes and future power bid. He stated that the West without Lagos was the most populous in Nigeria at that time but we ignored that.

The north was seriously encouraged to go into the military.

According to him, they believe that the south may attend western education, but future leaders will always come from military background. Their traditional rulers were to be made influential and super human. The northerners were given accelerated promotions both in the military and civil service to justify their superiority over the south. Everything was to work against the south.

We truncated their good plan for their future. "I was very sorry for the A.G;
*_it was a great party too much for African standard. We planned to destroy Awolowo and Azikiwe well, the west and the east and sowed a seed of discord among them"._*

We tricked Azikiwe into accepting to be president having known that Balewa will be the main man with power.

Awolowo has to go to jail to cripple his genius plans for a greater Nigeria .

However, Harold Smith justified the British agenda of colonialism in Nigeria , which he believed was originally to help build Africa after the ruins of slave trade, but lamented that the British only looked after themselves and not after Nigerian interest.

*The British really let Nigeria down.*

When I see Nigerian been accused of fraud and from what I saw on the streets of Lagos ; *the British were worst fraudsters*.

Looking at the northern leaders now he said, "If they have any agenda in Nigeria at all, sadly it is only for the north, and nothing for Nigeria . He stated that the British look after the British people and this is so all over the world. He said the time has come now to see people of intelligent minds with an open and inclusive agenda for all Nigerians in power…people who will really look after Nigerians large population…but *"I still curiously and sorrowfully see now that the British has not let go of Nigeria…her wealth,. her potentials, her future*.

He opined that the Caucasian people now assert themselves as the keeper of the "New Age" keys.

He therefore said that it is only logical for Europeans to maintain their position of _power, scientific superiority, economic exploitation, they must continue to perpetuate their lies and falsehoods and this is the most unkindest cut of all in relation to Nigeria situation!_

According to him, Nigeria , a great nation was crippled not because of military juntas or corrupt leaders alone but by the British and American fear of Nigeria great future.

He confessed, _"The fear of the place that will be our ‘dumping ground' really occupied our minds"_.

Some of the things he said were not new to Nigerians or to the whole world but hearing it from the horse's mouth is quite revealing and established more reality zones.

He finally submitted that the colonial masters have caused havoc while they were in Africa , and planted timed bombs when they finally left.

What we see since independence, the administration of new internal colonial masters by fellow Nigerians holding sway in power is doing more damage to Nigeria . Instead of detonating the time bombs planted by the British, the north is planting mines. He added that ‘It was my duty to carry out all of the above and I was loyal to my country.

*Nigerians should try to be loyal to their country leaders and followers alike. Love your country. You have got the potentials to be great again and the whole world knows this'.*

I am sorry for the above evil done to Nigeria . _I can't say sorry enough……_

ststyreal:
If you want to marry ten wives, go ahead and do it and stop trying to convince people with your satanic sermon. Bible says a man shall leave his father and mother and clinged to his wife and not wives". So leave people to live the way they deem honourable. Go ahead and enjoy your polygamy with it's many after effects which unfortunately lands on the children. Not every woman will marry and that is why some choose to be a rev sisters etc.

Lest we forget !!!
Historical perspective of the hatred between the Igbos and the Yorubas
I had the privilege of attending some meetings of the Yoruba and Igbo Leaders. I was not a Leader but a Youth who knew how to wash his hands.
At one of those meetings in Owerri, I think in 1989 I think, I listened to Uncle Bola Ige and other Yoruba Leaders take the likes of Mbakwe, R. B. Okafor, and others to the Cleaners when the Igbo said the Yoruba were betrayers, citing that Chief Obafemi Awolowo led them into secession with a promise that if the Igbo left Nigeria, the Yoruba would follow suit.
They accused him of not following up on his promise. Trust Uncle Bola Ige! He pointed to Chief Mbakwe and said, "you were there in the meeting between Awolowo and Ojukwu as I was. Is that statement correct ?"
He turned to two other Igbo and two Yoruba Leaders who were at that meeting and asked the same question, saying he had transcripts of the meeting between Awolowo and Ojukwu.
They kept quiet while the Yoruba Leaders affirmed that Awolowo never promised to follow the East into secession. What he said was that if the Igbo were "driven" out of Nigeria the Yoruba would take it seriously and reassess their own position. Igbo Leaders DID NOT CONTEST this version.
Then Chief Bola Ige threw in the clincher! "Who are you to accuse the Yoruba of betrayal ?" he roared, and continued:
1. At Independence Awolowo offered a joint Government between the NCNC and AG, with Zik as Prime Minister and Awo as Finance Minister. Awo and Zik "were still negotiating" when it was announced that Zik would be President in a coalition with NPC of the North.
The East then collaborated in destroying the West and sending Awolowo and his Lieutenants to Jail !
2. What of the 1965 elections which the West and the East agreed to boycott? We met all night and reached an agreement at about 3 am on the day of the election.
In the morning, while the Yoruba boycotted the election, the Igbo went to vote
3. After the 1979 elections Yoruba (UPN) and Igbo (APP ?) Leaders were still at the negotiating Table for a coalition when to their surprise, an announcement was heard that the Igbo (APP) had agreed to a coalition with the North (NPN).
4. After the 1983 elections, 1979 repeated itself.
Not giving up, Awolowo reached out to Azikiwe again for cooperation.
Talks started and they met in Benin where Awo pleaded passionately that only a collaboration between The Igbo and the Yoruba could save Nigeria.
They didn't reach an agreement but promised to meet again. Before the next meeting, the Igbo had again teamed up with the North.
Uncle Bola paused and then continued "we can go on and on. So how dare you accuse the Yoruba of betrayal?
How many Igbo have been killed in Lagos, Ibadan, Akure, and Oshogbo (he mentioned other Yoruba towns)? You have your Businesses in the West and went to Western Schools.
Yet you count the Yoruba as your Enemy. You get killed in Kaduna, Kano, Bauchi, Zaria, etc, and have your Goods looted yet you consider the Hausa/ Fulani your Friends.
It's your choice. If you want to be Slaves forever, we can't help you"
I had never been so scared in my life. I thought the Roof was going to fall. There was a pin drop silence and no Igbo dared interrupt Uncle Bola Ige because he was telling the truth.
The Yoruba Leaders ended the meeting at that point and left. I hope Chief C. O. Adebayo's memoirs will give more details of those exchanges.

History is said to be a very great teacher, Nigerians have refused to learn from it but murdered it instead. In our educational system, lifestyles, and even communal existences hence we suffer politically and downplay intelligence and strong values over pecuniary gains. Everybody is now a social commentator because he or she has undefendable certificates or holds a title or a political office that was forced on their subjects and electorates

When China, Russia and other countries even try theirs the US and the West will start shouting trade blockade. I just pity future of Nigeria with all these above commentaries, better learn what is democratic powers and its veracity before pushing people forward.

Business is always at the back of their minds, hypocrisy o f the highest order

Exodus 24 verse 10

FYI, eighty percent of cashew processing facilities are in Ogun State base on logistics reason so Julius Berger is on course because the final products would be shipped out.

For Cashew Plantation establishment with GAP steps as well as improved grafted seedlings and polyclonal seedlings; get in touch 0.8.0.9.6.5.8.0.1.8.3.

nothing has actually changed because we have not realized as a people that democracy is about common interests. politicians are toying with our future
