NgeneUkwenu: Segun Showunmi, spokesman of the Atiku Abubakar Campaign Organisation, has revealed that it would be disastrous if the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) fails to field his principal as its candidate in the 2019 presidential election.
Showunmi said Atiku deserved the presidential ticket of the PDP because he had been deeply involved in the Nigeria’s political system and understands the peculiarity of the nation’s democracy very good.
According to him, Atiku had built consensus, and is a nationalist that has the ears of the people, adding that he remained the only person who could give President Buhari a run for his money.
Speaking with Daily Sun on why Nigerians should queue behind Atikun in 2019, Showunmi said, “There are many Nigerians but he has unique political qualities that distinguished him from others. Many of the aspirants cannot generate exciting emotions outside of their zone. Some of them are just looking at presidency like ambition; they cannot articulate what they want to do with the opportunity. Nigeria needs a leader that has a global reputation.
“Atiku is obviously better than other aspirants including the opposition aspirants. He has a bigger vision for Nigeria. None of the Presidential aspirants could challenge Buhari in the 2019 election and succeed.
” Atiku is the only person that could do that. It will be unwise for PDP to bring an unpopular candidate to challenge the incumbent President. That would be disastrous. He is open to fresh ideas and he believes that all the tribes should bring ideas to the discussion table so we could collectively and extensively discuss and appease all worrying factions.”
NIGERIANS/NIGERIA NEED BREAK FROM FULANI STRANGLEHOLD, THEIR AGENDA, MANIPULATION WHICH HAVE TRAPPED NIGERIANS INTO EXTREME POVERTY & UNDERDEVELOPMENT FOR A VERY LONG TIME WITH NO WAY OUT PERIOD.
resurgent2019: This is an EXAMPLE of the HATE i am talking about. I wonder how people like this sleep at night with such hate in their heart.
We have argued it many times that Yorubas have neither the strength nor time to hate or envy igbos. I dont know why you igbos keep reinforcing the lie that yorubas care about you. If you like kill yourself with hate, we Yorubas will continue to eat our Amala, Gbegiri and Ogunfe, because we did not offend anybody. I urge you to step out and get a bottle of coke to ease your hate induced stress.
Good Afternoon.
Yes, this is the EXAMPLE of HATE l am talking about also.
How dare you Yorubas will close your eyes of real HATE and still support/vote in the worst atrocious destruction of human lives in the world and blindly avoid that only to hate on Igbos because you want to maintain the alliance you have with the most hateful african tribe who go about killing children and defendless civilians and you think Igbos don't see through such evil all the time.
resurgent2019: You have a point. But we cannot roll back the many years of hate and animosity between both tribes just by creating threads that selectively blames one tribe for bigotry. This is because they would refute your assertions—just as igbos have done on this thread— and you would have lost the opportunity to have a meaningful discussion before it even starts. Where do we start from? We have been at each others throat for almost 7 decades, we only thank God we have not fought ourselves at anytime in history. The best advice i can give is to leave things as they are between both tribes as any effort to reconcile both will be thwarted by hardliners from both tribes. Like i said before, i used to try to reason with igbos too—but i saw that i failed each time i tried. And since then, i have left them alone. I advice you to let things lie. Posterity has and will judge you right in the future for trying to smoothen relations between both tribes. Cheers.
Reconcile firstly by atonement by your tribe to acknowledge your partaking in genocide against the Igbos, followed by overwhelming Yoruba support for complete restructuring of Nigeria, otherwise, we will go from # 1 poverty capital of the world to something like somali/south Sudan. Politics of tribe, religion & regions over the decades breed backwardness, underdevelopment and poverty.
resurgent2019: If i could just say one thing in response to the Op, it will be: Igbos are not to be taken very seriously. They have huge inferiority complex issues nobody can remedy in Nigeria. You would do well to ignore them because you cannot stop them from hating others. That is who they are.
OP, Igbos will frustrate you with more hate than you ever imagined. They are built to hate, forget about their insults jareeeee.
They will roll into this thread with waves of insults like a tsunami and completely your thread. Igbos are easily the most hateful people in Nigeria.
But other than that, they are largely harmless. Its better you do something better with your time than try to reason with igbos oooo.
Idiot;...and this is one example Igbos curse your kind all the time. The most fateful tribe in Nigeria act out or should I say express their hate on other Nigerians by killing their fellow Nigerians, but the most ugliest Nigerians(both inside/outside who supposedly rush on to marry women from the side they dimmed the most hateful tribe in Nigeria) from the west side, out of envy and HATE will still describe the Igbos as the most hateful tribe in Nigeria. Your blindfold miss characterization of Igbos in Nigeria out of hate and envy thankfully have dragged Nigeria down to become the # 1 poverty capital of the world....pls continue!!.
Jeffobinna1: Have you ever imagined the solution to our great countries problem before? Have you tried to get things right with imagination? I have done that many times as a lover and speaker of one Nigeria and I believe I can inspire your thoughts to know that we can stand together to make a better country. Imagine a world without race, where all being are known by the blood colour. Imagine a world where religion does not create enemity between us. Imagine a world without ethnicity, where everyone recognises each other as one. A world without tribalism, where tribal acts does not stand against our unity. Though it sounds sarcastic but NIGERIA would have been more peaceful with less security crisis. A country with over 500 ethnic groups with different languages actually deserve more than what we are seeing today, the best thing that can happen to us when we try to solve a problem entirely is recognizing the root of our problem. I believe majority of the problems we have in Nigeria lies deeply on discrimination and disunity among citizens, when we learn to live together in unity, security threats will reduce then we can join hands together to pursue one goal just like footballers in the field,they have different talents, play different positions but as a team contribute together to score a goal. This is what I think, you can share your thoughts let us learn from you
Vote Kingsley Moghalu.....give it a trial, you have less to lose.
ChangetheChange: Exclusive: BankyW, @DebolaLagos, @SympLySimi, others contracted with Two Hundred Million Naira (₦200m) to launch #67MillionYouth initiative for Buhari’s re-election bid
An investigation by LeadersNG into the activities of the promoters of 67millionyouth Initiative has revealed that many of them are proxy working for President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election bid.
A presidency source who pleaded not to be named told LeadersNG that the Senior Special adviser to the president on Social Investment Programs, Ismael Ahmed is the brain behind the project.
The source further stated that many of the promoters of the project were actually those that worked for President Buhari’s emergence in 2015. The source said, it was not an easy task in convincing the promoters to get on the project as many of them voiced out their frustration with the administration and the manner they were discarded after helping the president to win the 2015 election.
Though the organizers of the project said the 67MillionYouth Initiative is a coalition of Nigerians with the mandate to galvanize active youth participation in politics and leadership in Nigeria, our source told us in confidence that the initiative is aimed at galvanizing support for President Buhari who has lost popularity amongst the youths.
Most of the Trustees of the initiative are active members of the All Progressives Congress with few others from other political parties which make up the list to make the initiative look non-partisan.
One of the trustees by name, Debola Williams co-owned the RED media with Chude Jideonwo, that vigorously campaigned for the Nigerian leader to become president in 2015.
The RED media according to LeadersNG investigation was contracted in 2014 by the then DG of Buhari’s Campaign Organization, Mr Rotimi Amaechi to help launder the image of the Nigerian leader whom many believed was a perpetual runner and unelectable leader.
On the list of the 67millionyouth are prominent APC members and artistes who have been contracted to use their huge followership to sway young people.
Most of the delegates on the 67millionYouth initiative are aides of the President, ministers, principal officers of the National Assembly and governors elected under the platform of the All Progressives Congress.
LeadersNG also gathered that one of the delegates, Nigerian R&B artiste, Bankole Wellington AKA Mr Banky W has been contracted by President Buhari’s administration to promote the president’s re-election bid under the guise of the 67millionYouth initiative. Her colleague Simi is alleged to have been contracted also.
Banky W earlier this year announced the dissolution of the record label arm Empire Mates Entertainment (EME), which he co-founded with the son of former Director-General of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, Harold Demuren.
The singer in an Instagram post said, EME’s business venture will now be marketing, advertising, public relations, branding, shooting of television commercials and documentaries.
He named TV personality, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, OAP Tolu ‘Toolz’ Oniru, wife of Captain Tunde Demuren, DJ Xclusive, and Adesua Etomi as the first set of clients of the rebranded company.
LeadersNG through a presidential source learned, the campaign organisation is in contact with many A-list artistes, many of whom are indifferent to President Buhari’s brand and have said they can’t put their careers on the line for a president who is believed to have performed below average.
However, many of the delegates LeadersNG spoke with before filing this report said they were surprised to find their names on the list as they were not informed before putting up their names.
“The organizers are just looking for a way to legitimize their fraud! I was never at anytime, a member of any youths group” . A delegate whose name was included on the list without her consent told LeadersNG.
Our Investigation further revealed that the sum of Two Hundred Million Naira (N200M) has been budgeted for the project to take off. The money LeadersNG learned was sourced from the NNPC through the SSA to the President on Social Investment Programs, Ismael Ahmed.
Here are the delegates of the 67 million youth initiative.

Meanwhile, some online commentators have taken to their twitter handles to voice their distrust with the 67millionyouth initiative.
Many of the commentators have questioned the integrity of the characters behind the initiative as majority of the trustees were the same set of youths that actively participated in bringing the current administration to power.
Bank W, should reject this bribe over Nigerian destiny or he/ other beautiful Nigerian musicians will continue to make beautiful music while at the same time explaining to his international admirers the beauty of he's music and others to Nigerian's backwardness & ugliness. The fulani agenda is the symbol of that ugliness. Yoruba stupidity has come to its end, when you consider that in the last one week or so world leaders like Obama, Putin, Xi Ping(Chinese President), Indian President, Brazilian President and others came into Africa without visiting Nigeria.
I searched for a single positivity of Wahhabism but failed to find one. Just as I search for a single positivity of the bloodthirsty Buhari regime but fail to find one. I even gave a reward for any Nigerian that will bring me a single achievement of the Buhari regime but none came.
Precious lives of innocent and defenseless Nigerians are being wasted on daily basis and the Buhari regime is doing Nothing to stop this murderous trend. If you want to travel by road you have to be thinking of armed bandits, kidnappers and armed robbers.
Corruption is still rampant. Looting of the public treasury was perfected by the Buhari cabal. They are thieves and shameless ones for that matter pretending to be Saints.
Buhari's claim of defeating BokoHaram is a monumental fraud to deceive Nigerians. Today BokoHaram is more richer and deadly. All thanks to the millions of dollars given to them from Buhari using the fraudulent pretext of ransom payment. ISIS elements had arrived Nigeria from Syria. The recent successful ambush of the Nigerian army underlined this.
In Nigeria under Buhari not only bandits, armed robbery and BokoHaram terrorists are killing Shia Muslims but Buhari, Elrufai and other Saudi agents are sending Soldiers and police to kill peaceful #FreeZakzaky protesters.

How can jihadist develop countries they share with infidels when they are in power...never. Nigerians don't reason. Do they develop, by appointing mostly jihadists in positions of authority excluding others based on religion, region and ethnicity??.
velocity25: “The port will be connected to rail, companies like Dangote and Bua will also be handy to utilise these ports.”so the reason why the ports are open ,for aboki companies
Why do you think the fools have refused restructuring.......because they are parasites leached onto Igbo economic progress. The dysfunctionality we call government allow these fools to prevent Igbo's progress unless on their own terms.
Marvellouzkk: The Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, has said that the praise singers of President Muhammadu Buhari are his true enemies. He said that President Buhari needs people who will tell him the truth anytime he goes wrong. His words, “The Praise singers around the President MuhammaduBuhari are the real enemies of the government who could destroy his efforts.I feel sorry for the people in government because they are surrounded by enemies. “The President needed people who will tell him where he goes wrong. I knew power was transient, I spoke the truth during my time at the Central Bank of Nigeria, no matter the consequences. Some were afraid to speak out against evil because they were afraid of losing their jobs. “All the people they were afraid of years ago, where are they today? For those who are still in power, remember that it is transient, If you want to be a true Nigerian, tell the present government where they’re going wrong. At the end of the day, this job, Central Bank, I’d leave it someday. I could die, or my tenure expires, or I’d be sacked. I had no control over it. “But I have a control over how I live. I wasn’t surprised about my suspension; I knew it would happen, because I had been called and asked to resign, and I said ‘no’. I was not going to make it easy for anyone. My answer was simple. “You asked me to resign for telling you money has been stolen. Ask the minister to resign first. You forget that the person, either the President or the Governor, is also occupying a transient position. All the people that people were afraid of two, three years ago, where are they today? Power is transient. “The only thing that is permanent is what you do for people when you were alive. If you’re a Governor or a President or a Minister, it does not matter how much you have; you will be remembered for service, not the amount of money you have that you cannot even announce’.

If only they won't stop giving us bad names everywhere
Osu people
Chai, Yorubas are ugly race with dirty minds. The blackest stain of blood painted all over Nigeria by the killers of children/women and unarmed civilians whom you lots blindly support cannot ever be scrubbed off the consciousness of humanity ever.
Yes, Igbo Amaka, because they are light years better than the killers of children/women and unarmed civilians who your lots disgracefully support out of envy because "Igbo Amaka".
[quote author= post=69498713]They keep disgracing the country every where. Shameless Animals! May they rot in jail![/quote]Ape, they are light years better than the killers of children/women and unarmed civilians.
FortifiedCity: They speedily come here to defend buhari on the massacre in the country; they fail to speak out against the injustice being meted on innocent citizens. Should i say they have learnt complacency from their master or they are happy inwardly that majority of those being killed are people of different religion or they are outrightly being paid peanuts to subdue their conscience. That I do not know.
But from what I have seen both here and offline, their indifference is sickening to say the least. I can't type much because I am seriously troubled by the woes of this nation which is deliberately being inflicted by someone who is supposed to protect and defend his people. I will keep talking and gradually start acting to defend every single life in this country. So help me God.
If you are among this 'happy' or 'indifferent' 90%, you know yourself, don't worry, what goes around comes around.
My brother, even here in US, most of Yorubas you run into(both male & female, Christian/Moslems) are all looking forward for relelection of Buhari second term regardless of the killings. My fear is that Yoruba relations between them with middle belt and the rest of the South will be damaged forever.
gurnam: You are feeling more pained and concerned about Yoruba issues than you care about your still-born Biafra or the present political disarray in Ibo land.
Yoruba are cleared about their politics, the same cannot be said about yours
Fool, Igbos are not pained. Any Yoruba cleared politics that will end in eternal separation between Igbos and Yorubas is very much welcome by the Igbos. In human evolution, natural selection must occur. Yorubas are the ones forcing Igbos into their orbit primarily through dna mixing from marriages to Igbo women........mixing up Igbos in general don't want. Integrating your values with that of Hausa/fulani, by the whole of SW to to APC is a decision Igbos must respect.
Fool, you are absolutely right, because me, you & all other Nigerians need help. We already inside the gutter of poverty capital of the world, and no body can figure out how to get out of it or how we got into it. Keep up with the same warped policies decades after decades.
AutoReportNG: The Abuja Metro Railway was officially commissioned for public use on 11th July 2018 and Nigeria's president, Pres. Buhari was the guest of honor. According to the FCTA, Residents will enjoy Two weeks of a free ride on the Abuja light rail after the Thursday's commissioning by the President.
Meanwhile, here is a video that detailed the Abuja Metro Railway from start to finish
This is absolutely nonsense economically. This is Islamic economic way of development. Private sector infrastructural development is more efficient and transformational. Underdeveloping regions which are economical viable and resource rich, and developing regions which are more or less economical unviable due to religious/tribal affiliations, but with all regions mutually under one GDP is primitive and stupid. Simple normal evolutional economic transformation/industrization/modernisation trajectory can never never be achieved by this sort of misplaced priority. Nigeria evolution under the extremist strong grip of Hausa/fulani and their Yoruba cheerleaders is an evolution towards extinction/endemic poverty. Nigerian system is so warp believe me. The jihadists purposefully drove Nigeria into the position of poverty capital of the world in other to break the Nigerian pride. You know what happens when you break a man's pride?....he withers away uselessly.
vondaman: Special Assistant to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, in an interview with Thisday, said his daughter almost wept when she read some of the villified comments Nigerians post on social media about him. According to him;
''You know the social media just revels in abusing people, and saying all sorts of rude and crude things. I remember my daughter who was in the university then and she called me and was almost crying and said ‘all these things I read on social media about you, this is not you. I then I told her ‘since you know that it is not me, then let your heart be at peace knowing that it is not your daddy, it is a creation of the social media'' he said
Adesina said contrary to popular opinion, President Buhari is not rigid. He said Mr Presidnet is a good listener.
''Anytime I meet him and I have anything to discuss with him, he always listens. He is a good listener but people don’t know, they think he is a rigid unapproachable person. You need to see him laughing and cracking jokes; you won’t believe that that is the same person a lot of people are saying is rigid. In my relationship with him, he has my utmost respect and admiration and when you talk to him, he listens. I try as much as possible to stay within my purview which is Media and Publicity, but if there are other pressing things that are outside the confines of my job, I raise them to him. He is a man who likes fairness and justice. I tell him to look into it and he listens''.
He said President Buhari has vowed to give Nigerians a free and fair election
''I remember in a private conversation with him one day, he said ‘if it is the only thing I would do for Nigeria, I would give a free and fair election in this country.’ Look at all the elections that held in states under him – Bayelsa and Anambra, APC lost. APC won Kogi and Ondo. So when you win, win fair and square and when you lose, lose gallantly. He doesn’t interfere with INEC or the other agencies like EFCC, ICPC in anyway. I’m sure if you ask the INEC chairman, he would tell you the President has never picked a call to tell him do this.
Femi, the cry of your daughter is a drop in the bucket compared to the ocean of cries of victims of fulani herdsmen you & other Yorubas like you have turned their backs on. Godly morality have being thrown out of the window for some special intrests only known to you and your Yoruba cohorts. She is crying because, she knows/understands that you & other Yorubas like you have the blood of these innocent killings upon your head due to your blind support for Hausa/fulani & for a fulani President. What she don't understand is that Yorubas like her dad have being partaking in genocide historically in Nigeria for some primary interests that ain't Yoruba's.
kolaaderin: You are the one with the warped mind. It beats me how people like you claimed to be in your right sound mind believing the white lies that Buhari could be sponsoring trouble for his own administration and refused to believe that this are political killings just to pull down this regime just because you are already preprogrammed in that your insane mind to hate Buhari. The enemies of this country are doing all they could to divert the government attention away from their prosecution and people like you are glad and in support of this same criminals that brought us to this state. Clear your mind for just a day and think neutral by seeing Buhari from a neutral angle and not from hate side of the compass to see for yourself how biased you have been judging this regime. Think Nigerians think and don't let this criminals called politician get away with this crime.
...For as long as these herdsmen are still roaming around the Country and have not being declared a terrorist organisation, whatever the President or you are saying are in defence of herdsmen period.
You cannot defend evil, because that will make you evill.
