Its fine if you believe somehow you will exist without a functioning brain when you die. What irritates me about some Christians is the way they try to force others to believe their ideology. How does it affect your life and your existence if i dont want to believe. Do you put food on my table?? By the way im not an atheist or a theist. I simply don’t know if there is a God or not. Im okay with my life like that rather than give room for hallucinations. Doesn’t stop me from being good to other human beings. I dont need the fear of hell to love my fellow human. There’s a sense of guilt in every human to identify right and wrong.

You are an agnostic, many of us are too.

"Obasanjo was wrong when he brought Jonathan, he was also wrong when he brought Buhari.... why should we still trust someone who has made mistakes twice with the third chance in our life?"

Don't mind the old expired milk.

dustmalik:
If the PDP feels this way, then why have they been blaming Buhari since morning?

Truth cannot be subdued permanently.

NIGERIAN let's ponder on this.

This might help us in making good choices for those that can take their time to read this:

HOW ATIKU MADE NIGERIANS JOBLESS

A. NigerDock is the largest ship fabrication yard in West Africa sub region. When it was sold, its Ex-MD Engr. Nkpubre Okon, openly stated how "Mr Job Creator" ignored the Transport Ministry then to Open bid for NigerDock.

Atiku's preferred bidder, 'Global Energy' that agreed to increase NigerDock's workforce from 4,800 to 6,000 as part of privatization agreement dismissed 2,200 immediately it took ownership. Jagal Group that took over after Global Energy lost out on power play also sacked 1,400.

B. Nigeria Port Authority reform was purely contrived to grab landed properties. 10,000 workers were sacked & 133 bids opened for NPA properties consisting of 68 properties in Apapa, 28 houses in Ikoyi. The highest reserves bid was for a property in Ikoyi fixed at N390.4 Million.

C. NIGERIA RAILWAY
Did Atiku forget how 7000 railway workers were sacked in 2005 without compensation to reduce its workforce to 6,300? Another 1,260 were fired in 2006. When ATIKU and his Headmaster were leaving in 2007, they left ~N5 Billion in unpaid Railway pension arrears.

D. FEDERAL SECRETARIAT IKOYI
In 2006, Babalakin's Resort Ltd acquired this 15 storeys prime asset overgrown with weeds from atiku and OBJ through a Development Lease Agreement (DLA) for N7.2Billion. A Court has asked Buhari to pay N54 Billion to Babalakin for that blunder.

The DLA, dated October 10, 2006, granted Babalakin Resort Ltd a 99-years lease to redevelop the Federal Secretariat complex, that OBJ & ATIKU had abandoned for 7 years into 480 luxury apartments. This was at the eve of their departure from government. The transaction was one for the road.

The DLA hit the rocks when Lagos State Govt in the interest of the public indicated willingness in acquiring the Federal Secretariat complex. LASG insisted it should be accorded right of first refusal since LASG is the Issuing Authority of the C of O, coupled with other reasons.

Finally, lets compare OBJ & Atiku's first 3yrs in power to the first 3yrs of PMB that hasn't retrenched one civil servant, but has bailed out states on salaries. Lets not forget Atiku was in charge of the economy and OBJ gave him free hand until Galaxy Backbone scandal happened.

In 2002, first 3yrs of the Obasanjo/Atiku, manufacturing accounts for 6% of GDP. Nigeria's GDP fell by half for d first time in 20yrs. This was d year all textile factories in Nigeria closed down and unemployment was 28% within d formal sector alone; I repeat, alone!!

In 2002, UN estimated that 70% of Nigerians live below poverty line compared to 48.5% in 1998 under a military rule. Life expectancy fell from 54yrs to 51yrs. Two-fifth of every child below age 5 were malnourished and only 50% of the 128Million Nigerians have access to clean water.

FACTUAL REPORT ON HOW ATIKU SUPERVISED THE SALES OF OVER 145 FG INVESTMENTS AS A VICE PRESIDENT !!!

Please any or all ATIKU supporters or his campaign structure are free to deny these submission with facts not sentiments.

“As Head of National Council on Privatization (NCP), from 1999, atiku dug Nigeria's economic grave for today's extreme poverty and unemployment.

There were over 600 federal assets when Atiku's NCP started selling.

Atiku should tell us who bought what and what was left for the country when he left power.
To who did Atiku sell the following companies:

Nafcon
Eleme Petrochemical
Daily Times
Ughelli Power
Egbin Power
NICON Insurance
ALSCON
Transcorp Hilton Hotel
NICON Luxury Hotel
Sunti Sugar Ltd
NetCom House
Bacita Sugar Ltd
MM2

In 2007, Onigbolo Cement operating at 500,000 tonnes per annum was sold to Dangote at N1.7Bn �

To those selling Atiku, let me remind you of Senate public hearing of August, 2011 which succinctly captures how Atiku through retinue of cohorts, fronts, shell companies, ring fenced over 70% of FG's assets through a brazen daylight robbery privatization that he supervised.

This is nothing sensational. Its real life facts and all the Senators are alive today.

The 2011 privatization Senate committee was made up of Senator Ahmed Lawan – Chairman, Senators Babafemi Ojudu, Philip Aduda, Mohammed Ndume, Ifeanyi Okowa, Hope Uzodinma and Mohammadu Magoro.

Lets look at Aluminium Smelting Company, ALSCON, that Atiku privatized.

ALSCON which Nigeria built with $3.2 billion, was sold to a Russian firm, Russal, for $130million. As of the time of sale, ALSCON had received $120million for the dredging of Imo River, but was never done.

When the Senate Seating of August, 2011 asked the Russian company the whereabouts of the $120million dredging money, the company's Deputy Managing Director, Vitaly Kuzrestov, said that the money has been used for Environment Impact Assessment."

FG's Five percent share in Eleme Petrochemical worth USD27 million was never presented at the National Council on Privatization before it was sold to Indorama.

Indorama recovered this amount selling Polyethylene and Urea to the entire west Africa sub-region in just 14 months.

The Atikulate Business Theory: Sell to yourself Government assets that leaves millions in penury, to set up personal businesses that provides for a few. Atiku didn't employ the few hundreds he employed because he likes them, he needs them to work to preserve what he took from Government

A man who supervised sales of over 145 federal investments as a vice president, without a thought for today wants to be president.

He didnt revitalize them.

He didnt resuscitate them.

He sold them to whomever agrees to his personal terms

..... *From my friend Michael Ogueke*

THOSE WHO STOLE YOUR 2015--2030 IN 1999--2014 ARE THE SAME THIEVES YOU ARE NOW ROMANCING TO COME BACK!!!

For how long will you allow a few to steal your future and your children's future and be giving you crumbs. Look at 1999--2015 everything we grew up to know were sold to themselves or the scrap sold for cash.

Nigeria Airways and their houses in GRA Ikeja, what happened to them? When we were growing up most of the houses in GRA Ikeja were owned by the Nigeria Airways and all now sold to whom?
Nigeria RE. The biggest re insurance company in Africa who bought it?
NICON Insurance who bought it ?
NITEL was sold for peanuts and killed by them so that their investment in AiRTEL, MTN,GLO etc will yield dividends
NITEL House one of the tallest in Marina was sold cheap to former Speaker Bankole.
What is the Status of National Stadium Surulere? Millions was budgeted for refurbishment by the sports ministry and nothing to show. Compare that stadium to Lagos State owned Thunder Balogun stadium and the difference is clear .
Nigerian National Shipping line? Where are the ships? They disappeared between 1999-2015
NEPA after Obasanjo spent $16 billion, they broke down NEPA to several units and sold it to themselves and NEPA is still not efficient while Atiku's Mikano Generators is powering Nigeria & her businesses!
Obasanjo/Atiku sold Port Harcourt Refinery to their cronies in 2007 and thank God, President Yar’ Adua reversed it .

All of these happened in the 16 disastrous locust years of the PDP! Recession didn't just happen! They looted us into recession! I cannot stand and watch those who plundered the nation come back in 2019. I will choose an imperfect Buhari a hundred times over them because he is not a thief. Stop praising and voting for individuals who took your future away and stop them from coming back to steal your generation away . It is better you go though pain today so that your kids will enjoy a better Nigeria .

Nigeria has a population of 200million people we are told.

Our 2018 budget is 9 trillion Naira.

The Assets Management Corporation of Nigeria AMCON, the company that was set up to help the rich buy their debts, told us last month that, 350 Nigerians {out of 200million citizens} are responsible for 80% of AMCON's N5.4 trillion debt portfolio.
May be you did not hear that well!
AMCON said only 350 Nigerians borrowed N5.4trillion from banks, which they could not pay and AMCON came in to buy up those debts in other to save the commercial banks from collapsing.
To put that in perspective;
2018 Capital Budget is N2.4 trillion

2018 Recurrent Budget is N3.4 trillion

Add both capital and recurrent votes and you will get N5.8 trillion.

But 350 Nigerians, out of 200 million of us borrowed that same amount, they refused to pay and government came round to buy the debts over through AMCON.

The corporation also pointed out that, out of the millions of BVN numbers with the banks, only 100 BVNs collect 60% of bank lendings.

And this has left the banks with 13,000 bad loans worth 5.6trillion borrowed by "big men" who are now fighting to remove this administration so that they wont ever pay their debts!
Now, when they go to recover from defaulters like they did with Silverbird for example, the same cheated ignorant commoners are the first to cry fowl.
Some of the companies owing include:
Seaworlf Nig Ltd - 160billion
Arik Air - 300billion
Tanzila Petroleum Ltd 49.2billion
Resort Int'l Ltd - 36.3billion
Home Trust Savings - 25.75billion
Suru worldwide ventures - 24.4billion
Roygate properties- 23.26 billion
Ziglagsis network Ltd - 20.33 billion
Lexcap partners - 18billion
Anyiam Osigwe Ltd - 17.25billion
Silverbird - 11 billion
Wokson International - 5 billion

From the figures above:
Arik alone is owing more than the 2018 Ministry of Transportation budget which is N263 billion.
Seaworlf Nig Ltd, is also owing more than the 2018 Ministry of Defence budget which is N145 billion.
It's not rocket science to know why they want PMB out but our ignorant gullibility which is a product of our contrived emotions not our lack of education is exonerating, encouraging and emboldening them to make desperate attempts to come back to power! Enough of this madness brethren and sisthren!

AtikuMeansJobs:
Somebody said he would privatise NNPC and make it transparent and efficient and some misconstrued it for outright sale. They even said atiku would sell Nigeria. Can this be achieved singularly....even if that is his intention? Those APC members kicking against atiku know what their fears are. Only atiku knows their secrets. They also are afraid of the mess they have caused, which they think when exposed to Nigerians after they have left, could cause many to faint. Instead of the social media rants, insults and abuses, I'd urge our youths to rather think deeply because they are always at the receiving end, whatever decisions they take now. If someone is truly fighting corruption as a leader, it's supposed to be holistic. Someone was indicted of dollar bribe and you still went ahead and endorsed him. All the appointments and handling of security in nigeria today by the federal government is the worst in the history of Nigeria. They keep telling us that boko haram has been defeated yet, they are spreading like wildfire everyday, with their tentacles now being entrenched towards the north west and middle belt. So that we would not react or be sensitive to this, APC in their usual deceit, nick-named the fulani herdsmen, and later armed bandits now they call them cattle rustlers...whereas, they kill and attack in same manner boko haram do but they think everybody in Nigeria is a fool? We all can't be deceived.What has this buhari government achieved so far?
What is their manifesto and programmes?
How will it benefit the common man?
Are we better off economically now than we were 4 years ago?
What are our concerns about the bloomberg's economic predictions about Nigeria...that we should not expect economic improvement and stock rise until another government takes over and does it mean anything to us?
What of the world capital of poverty bagged by Nigeria under this government?
What of the ever-depleting foreign reserve and sharp-dropping oil output due to low megawatts of electricity, which fashola once bragged had increased to the highest peak in this government history?
What of the subsidy of over 240 billion naira paid to petroleum marketers in December, which they once called a scam during jonathan administration by this government?
What of the subsidy they removed which shot the pump price to 145 naira a litre, promising to use the proceeds to fix all our refineries, create jobs, construct roads and stop importation of petroleum products?
Are they not making a you-turn overnight, telling us they still pay subsidy?
Who are truly the APC members...Elrufai, and was appointed BPE Chair who was in charge of privatisation of our national assets when obj was in power...?
Why is the APC not mentioning his name and why is Elrufai afraid of atiku's candidature?
What of Akpabio who was charged for money laundering offences who is now a celebrated saint n the APC?14 people allegedly die at buhari's rally and as at today not a word from him, his vp or the people of his campaign.
Hear me people, Saturday is about the economy, jobs, Leah Sharibu (The only girl left behind because of her faith), freedom of speech, freedom of religion and a Nigeria we all can be believe in. Do not be deceived by a false garb of integrity. Do not be fooled by group thinking of "Na our brother be second in command". Don't allow people manipulate you with "he is our own or member of our religion". Make no mistake about it; what you do at the polling booth on Saturday will resonate for generations. Choose wisely!!!
Tyranny doesn't discriminate. Neither does nepotism nor dictatorship.
When we allow it to thrive, there would be enough injustice to serve everyone including those that supported it.
May God help us all!!!
Nigeria will prevail!Is not all about buhari and his goans telling you how the other person is corrupt.
Nigerians use your head.
Check the people telling you others are corrupt and make decision yourself, don't let people decide what's glaring to you...
In everything to me Buhari as failed, from ministerial appointment and the rest.Like our elders use to say that Unless and Until
an Aching Tooth is Clinically and Completely
Pluck out of the mouth, The mouth must eternally chew with bitterness . This itchy fingered party called APC must be pluck out of our PRETTY BODY) come this weekend.

Jebba paper mill privatised and not working
Bacita sugar company privatised and not working
Iwopin paper mill privatised and not working
Aladja steel rolling, Katsina steel rolling, Oshogbo steel rolling, Jos steel rolling, Aluminium smelting plant, Nigerian Airways, NITEL and PHCN were national assets sold to their friends and all not working and they want you to elect them to come back to sell NNPC as usual to their friends again, would you allow that? NEVER AGAIN.

dvdwed:
Having carefully observed the efforts PMB has made in the last few years the following are thus his undeniable achievements.

1. Ethnocentricity and Nepotism. No leader in Nigeria has ever intentionally promoted disunity as PMB in Nigeria. He will be remembered as the president who openly classified the southeast and south south citizens as second class citizens. He never visited these states except for political reasons.

2. Lagos Ibadan rail. His efforts here deserves acolade.

3. Herdsmen killings - Though it is an inherited crisis but the vocal and body-language support from the presidency, the look the other way tactics encourage the killings. These resulted in a lack of trust hence the middle belt farmers don't trust the FG, thereby making any future effort from PMB are likely failure.

4. Cowing oppositions - Though there anticorruption war has been fairly effective but it's garment of politics has defiled anything left of it if any. We all knw that the Oke and Co trial announced somedays ago are cheap political moves and an afterthought. Criticise PMB and become an enemy of the state is registered in our subconscious this is unlike the GEJ days.

5. Pension Payment - Yet one must salute PMB courage of purpose in paying Nitel, railway, airways retirees ,he tried,thereby clearing decades of national debt.

6. Political Corruption - PMB has successfully strengthen this business. To all unbias and apolitical Nigerians no amount of court stamps can change the moral and political facts that APC did not win EKITI and OSUN gubernatorial. Electoral tribunal can say anything but all sane Nigerians know the truth.
How Akeredolu came to Alagbaka is no me a secret deal, silent thoughts know how Mimiko/Jegede negotiated their way out of power,no EFCC wahala bla bla bla . The sainthood of Apabio and the window trial of Kalu is all there for all to see.

7. Serious ethnic divisions - Winning a war is often easier than winning the peace. The ethnic distrust and rivalry set up between Igbos and Yorubas will without doubt consume the nation if not we'll managed before 2023. Distrust and perceived subjugation is all that is needed for a serious secession push birthing the pre civil war atmosphere giving the fact that PMB has shown lack of tact in promoting national unity.

8. General Poor performance - Educational investment remains the key for speedy national development. Except for the ill concieved feeding program , feeding school children in dilapidated buildings is not wisdom, do we have any verifiable statistics showing it resulted in increase pupil enrollment ? No administrative policy for education, do we have a minister in that ministry at all. Trader money is already an national embarrassment.

These failings / achievements have further compromised national institutions like the Police, DSS, Military, promoting political loyalty at the expense of National loyalty. The list of the failings seems endless, i recall how the huge ransom payments and release of hundreds of captured Boko haram fighters rejuvenated and resuscitated a technically knocked out terrorist group.



God Bless Nigeria

Nigerians will never learn. Saraki does not need Kwaran votes to win, he only need the votes of his constituents (Ilorin largely).

Same thing you folks say about Dino Melaye whenever he clashes with Bello and his people. Abeg wetin concern Dino Melaye with Ebira people?


You guys will never learn. The kind of school some of you attended calls for a serious concern. You can't live in Lagos and be hating Saraki, Dino, Bruce, and the likes. They owe you nothing.

If you reside in Lagos, then Senator Remi Crooknubi, Senator Ashafa and others (whose names many of you don't know) owe you more than Saraki.

Saraki will emerge the winner, it is a done deal.

Stop crying mofo. �
Take this handkerchief to wipe your tears..

APC saved the political career of Saraki, Atiku and all those band of thieves who decamped but instead of them to realize that they thought it's the other way round so now APC will retire all of them in this election.
