MrMcJay:
Davido has a right to support whichever candidate he chooses but he's going about it the wrong way.

Duncan Mighty supports Wike and PDP, Olamide Supports APC, Pasuma supports PDP, Kwam 1 has been an APC supporter for long and no noise.

The problem Davido has is that he talks to people in politics the way he talks to his fans in music not knowing they're 2 different worlds. Just yesterday, I read a report where he REPORTEDLY insulted northerners.

Stupid comments like that are not taken lightly in politics. Politics in Nigeria is bloody and people can hurt each other without even being paid for it.

He should apply wisdom in his dealings and he'll be fine.

stop lying. which report? what is wrong woth you guys nah? must you incite hatred to win? Kwam said more than this in 2015, no body is against him. Davido has the right to say whatever he wants as long as its civil. Someone made threats and said they should come he is waiting, how is that one out pf place? Bros we knw you must support your APC but leave otgers to do theirs in peace. They snatched his uncles mandate and gave it to Tinubus cousin against the wish of Osun people and you want him to be civil? GTFO.

This is a clear example of what to expect if Buhari gets reelected. They are traveling up and down making empty noise like they did in 2015. if Nigerians are decieved into voting them again the hardship will be morethan times 3

We are going to have a bigger problem in Nigeria if our mentality persist in this manner.

The former CJN(Walter) never denied the fact that he is corrupt just because of tribalism, IPOBS are defending the man up and down. The man should have resigned honourably just like Kemi Adeosun did when he was accused of certificate forgery.

The same igbos and southern Christians were happy and celebrating Kemi Adeosun resignation not knowing that what goes around comes around.

What a double standard!

you just posted rubbish. The CCT chairman has a casevof corruption alreadyvhanging on his head. He was found to have corruptely enriched himself and there are evidence to prove it. But since he is a Buhari pupit they turned the other way. Question is what did the law say? All this noise is even unneccessary. This coup cant and wont stand.

dheilaw1:
the point I'm making is that atiku contributed to the mess in our university, Nigeria witnessed the longest strike in history when atiku was in charge of economy as vice president.

Stop lying the Vice president was never in charge of Labour ministry, Revenue mobilization or Ministry of education and paliaments. Those portfolios are exclussively domiciled under the Presidents charge. Its kiie blaming Osibanjo for all the Assu strike today. is it fair? So stop lying.
Incase you dont knw its not everyone on this platform thats too young or didnt knw what traspired during the time of OBJ. Its on record no govt has beating the record of Obasanjo.
They met a paltry $3billion USD reserves, backlog of over 12-30months of unpaid salaries. An economy in shambles and a GDP of $35,477 million. Over 50% out of school chikdren and so many more. They didnt spend the next 4years complaining about the past admin, but went into work. And the GDP grew from 1999 $35,870,790,000
2000 $46,386,010,000
2001 $44,138,000,000
2002 $59,116,850,000
2003 $67,655,820,000
2004 $87,845,420,000
2005 $112,248,000,000
2006 $145,430,000,000
2007 $166,451,000,000.
We saw more than 200% increase in foriegn Direct investments. Hundreds of companies scrambled to come to Nigeria. not even Goodlucks term was able to attract so much investments from Foriegn businesses.

But under this APC government you support everything have been on reverse mode since they took over. our GDP droped from above $500billion to 400Billion. GDP from 4-5% growth to less than 2%. Ghana, Rwanda, and kenya now attracts more foriegn investemnts than Nigeria. Unemployemnt rate is at a record level, over 20million have so far lost their jobs. Poverty at an all time high infact to the extent Nigeria is nw the poverty capital of the whole world. What is there to like about this govt? We are now paying more for fuel and yet spending even more on subsidies. Cost of living has skyrocketed while standards of living dropped by almost half. please keep shut when sensable people are talking.

This clown can nevwr change, he did the same thing before. he will quote an enormous debt figures to decieve his states citizens, the spend the next 4years stuffing his states resources and repaying his godfather Tinubu for the money they spent sponsoring his people.

its about fixong Nigeria, not tribe or religion. Obi is a typucal Ibo man, he wants the country to work. While APC is going about buying votes with tradermoni, Obi is on the ground goibg around the regions looking for problens that needs to be fixed. Our Yoruba brothers knw this guys will hit the geound running but they cant take the shame of these two putting their demigod to shame. Lagoa will definetly enjoy more infrastructure undrr Atiku Obi than it does now cos they wont just take revenue without ploughing back to the commercial hib of the nation.

OHHHH GOD. MAKE THIS FEBUARY COME NAH. I GO KEE PERSON O.

forreelinc:
stop pretending na, you know say atiku no go unite sh*t

is it your unite? just cos your 5% vs 97% APC party thrives on causing disunity and ethnoreligious tensions, doesnt mean everyone is like them.

hehehe i bet many Zombies rushed here thinking they will see plwnty crowd. Around there they value quality Roads, Railway lones and infrateuctures than #10k tradermoni. I bet Onitsha folks dont even have a clues the President was in town. SS/SE do.t do much noise, they have made up therr minds on who to vote.

It amazes me the kind of bile most yorubas spill against this girl. one said she is a cum bag, another Olosho he has bleeped before, another is a gold digging ugly thing. But its funny howvthe naratives changes when those Yoruba babymamas pics makesvit to FP. Lol, Bros and Aunties, The Girl is foiiiner and fresher than the Baby mamas plus Toke makinwa put together. She has class, if she was a gold digger she would have allowed Davido impregnate her. in as much i dnt agree with her quiting school and running around with him, who are we to judge? most of you did worst things as kids when you were her age.
Make una leave the geh alone.

IjebuWarrior:
Don't worry, bros... we-we are in the process of getting his citizenship rescinded. A report has already been made to the Dept. of Homeland Security. Leave that for us.

Chai, una go killi person o. Hehehe

Wether una vote o, or una no vote. Atoku will win the election.
Tinubu went and took sides with Tambuwal to refuse the Senator from the South west a chance to be speaker simply because She was nominated by Obasanjo. How is that Goodlucks fault.
Goodluck named Unilag after Abiola, Tinubu mobilized Yorubas to prevent it. All of these was deliberately planned to make it seem Goodluck dont like Yorubas, thats a fact.
You now say they marginalized you. The rest of the country has Atikulated. I guess the Yorubas like to play opposition. Tinubu is now playing tribal politics as if Atiku os a tribalist when infact the most powerful and highest ranking campaign officials are Saraki and Gbenga Daniel who are all Yorubas from Ogun state.
I pity the Yoruba christoans who are in the majourity but has sold their birth right to their Muslim brothers. They dont even have a clue that they are gradually being rendered powerless.

Concerned Fulani leaders have disagreed with the recent endorsement of President Muhammadu Buhari for re -election by the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria ( MACBAN ) , saying the laws guiding the association do not allow it to dabble into partisan politics .
The chairman , Senator Walid Jibrin , told journalists in Kaduna yesterday that neither the executives nor the national chairman of MACBAN could take a major decision without seeking the consent of members of the Board of Trustees ( BoT ) and patrons of the association .
He said : “ Such decision taken recently by the association without the knowledge of the BoT , patrons and majority of registered members is disrespect and amounts to dragging our paramount ruler into politics .”
Jibrin , who is also the Sarkin Fulanin Dangi Nasarawa, said that Miyetti Allah owes the Sultan of Sokoto , Emir of Kano , Emir of Katsina , Emir of Zazzau and Lamido of Adamawa apologies for being ignorant of the rules guiding the association and for not running MACBAN for the full benefit of members .
The Sarkin Yakin Dangawa Yaan Tumaki of Katsina also disclosed that concerned Fulani groups and members of MACBAN who were not in support of the Miyetti Allah decision would soon meet to counter the stand .

In the begining itsseems they get married quicker and get the best guys. But few years down the line they become unsatisfied. Most runs girls get married faster, but also leads in the percentage of those who easiily leave their marriage. This explains why there is a rise in number of divorce in the society.

“A widely reported new study claims that people -- especially women -- who have multiple sexual parters before tying the knot, report unhappier marriages down the line.
The study comes to us from The National Marriage Project, based off research from two University of Denver professors, Galena K. Rhoades and Scott M. Stanley, who looked at relationship data collected from 2007 to 2008 of 1,000 unmarried Americans ages 18 to 34. During the following five years, 418 of the participants got married.
Rhoades and Stanley took a closer look at those marriages to see if factors, including participants' sexual past, played a role in current marital quality.
Couples' relationship quality was measured using a four-item version of the Dyadic Adjustment Scale , focusing on relationship happiness, thoughts about separation, frequency of confiding in one another, and a general item about how well things are going (the full scale, however,
contains 32 items ).
According to researchers, the 23 percent of participants who only had sex with their spouse prior to getting hitched reported higher quality marriages versus those who had other past sexual partners as well.
They claim this finding is especially true for women, writing in the report, "We further found that the more sexual partners a woman had had before marriage, the less happy she reported her marriage to be."
On top of that, researchers say that participants who lived with an S.O. -- who did not become their future spouse -- also reported unhappier marriages (graph below).

So why would more sexual or relationship experience be associated with worse outcomes later on?
Rhoades and Stanley hypothesize in the report that "more experience may increase one’s awareness of alternative partners." In other words, people who have a number of prior relationships may become dissatisfied more easily.
But isn't that another way to say they might be more aware of a bad relationship? Isn't that a good thing?
Indeed, while the data presented in The Marriage Project's 418-person study is legitimate, experts say that the conclusions drawn from it -- especially those which cast judgement on one's sexual history and incite sentiments of slut-shaming -- may not be entirely accurate.
Researchers in this field, who were not involved with this particular study, told The Huffington Post that these findings should be taken with a grain of salt.
"There are a wide variety of reasons that may lead people to have multiple partners before marriage and, independent of how many partners they have, also be less satisfied in marriage," Dr. Jim McNulty , a social psychology professor from Florida State University who has published a plethora of research on the topic, wrote in an email.
"For example, people who tend to avoid commitment in general may have more sexual partners and be less happy when they settle down. It’s not the fact that they have more sexual partners that leads them to be less happy, it’s the fact that they don’t really like commitment. I would be very surprised if having multiple sexual partners before marriage, independent of any other factor, has a direct causal influence."
In other words, correlation should never be confused with causation.
"We cannot make any conclusions about cause-and-effect," says Justin Lehmiller , PhD, sex educator and researcher at Purdue University, adding, "Could it be that multiple premarital partners impacts marital happiness? Maybe. But it could also be that people who have more partners have different personalities or different attitudes toward marriage or relationships."
Beyond that, Lehmiller says there may be flaws in the way data was analyzed -- the way in which good marriages were separated from bad marriages was "rather odd" he says. "Even the authors admit that they were 'arbitrary' in their report. They defined 'higher quality marriages' as those in which individuals scored in the top 40 percent ... Why the top 40 percent?"”

My first whatever. Dedicate this to the incoming dynamite dou of Atiku and Obi.

He failed as a young head of state, 30years later failed and an elected head of state. He has a history of shifting blames on those he took over from. Yet the Dullard wants another 4years.

So on point Sir. You lock your shop to chase criminals, you cant do business, so have to sack you staffs, they in turn out of frustration take to crime, crimw increases in your business neighbourhood, your former staffs, who happens to knw all about your shop breaks in at night to steal whatever thats remainingvinsode the locked shop.

Basic123:
Atikulooted slaves BP may rise and burst oooo.




Peter Obi the errand boy has been used and dumped even before winning the election.
It seems Saraki is the real vice president!

Thank you for acknowledgin that the PDP will win the election. Calling Sakari the V.P shows tbat you knw kicking Buhari back to Daura is certain.

Akabuking:
hold your ibo brothers working with INEC accountable. The will always seek for bribe before giving out PVCs. things that ought to be free you will pay it.

I dey tell you, a very useless set of human beings. how can you deliberately disenfrenchize your people because of money? And the docile south east people will just out of frustration go home when in fact, there are morethan enough means to call the attention of the world to the problem. What is the South east people and the PDP doing about this? nothing.

This is my problem with Igbos. Cant you see they plan to make sure you dnt vote? What will it cost the voters to organize themselves and demand that INEC give them their Voters cards? Someone dnt want you to vote, and you allow him get away with it. Funny most of those in INEC South East are Igbos. What a shameless people. organize yourselves, there is an NGO who beams the light on this. Please Aba people should insist. Your vote is your right.

WHEN, in 1994, the late General Sani Abacha, invited former Head of State, Major Gen. Muhammadu Buhari to serve as head of the newly created Petroleum (Special) Trust Fund (PTF), the latter gave one condition for this acceptance: He must be given the title of Executive Chairman, and he must have a free hand to run the Fund as he saw fit, without any interference from anyone.
The PTF was itself a child of controversy. Abacha had, in 1994, increased the price which Nigerians had to pay for petrol, diesel and kerosene. The Nigerian populace vehemently opposed the hike, both because the increase was exorbitant, and because most Nigerians were certain that the windfall from the price hike would find its way into the hands of a few highly placed Nigerians.
To assuage this fear, Abacha summoned Gen. Buhari from retirement, to administer a new Trust Fund into which all excess income from the price increase would be paid, and from which the Fund would intervene in critical areas of the economy in such a manner as to directly benefit ordinary Nigerians. Buhari's main qualification was that he was considered to be both a strict disciplinarian and an incorruptible man. And he was for this reason expected to ensure that the fund was properly used, and that it would not become another avenue from which public funds were simply carted away by a handful of well-placed Nigerians. That was the expectation. But the reality, in the end, was a story of massive and cynical looting of the public treasury.
How the Fund became a funnel
Gen. Buhari was Executive Chairman of the Petroleum (Special) Trust Fund from its inception in 1994, to its disbandment by the Obasanjo administration in 1999. According to the report of the Interim Management Committee, which was set up in that year to investigate the affairs of the Fund, the total income accruing to the Fund from mid-1994 to July 1999 was in excess of N181 billion. There were six major areas in which the PTF intervened directly during the period. They were: roads and waterways; supply of educational materials and rehabilitation of educational infrastructure; food supply; health; water supply; and what was curiously termed other projects.
The management structure of the Fund was so capricious, from start, as in retrospect to suggest that the executive chairman was far more impressed by his position as an alternate Head of State, an Interventionist Czar who was answerable to no one, not even the Head of State himself, than anything else. First, he unilaterally appointed a single consultant, Afri-Projects Consortium (owned by the close relative of his Wife Aisha Buhari), as the sole adviser to the Fund. Then he delegated virtually all his powers to this agency. Afri-Projects Consortium was given the exclusive power to initiate projects, assess their probable cost, approve the costs, execute the projects, and assess the quality of execution, all alone. The Consortium's decisions could not be questioned by anyone outside the Fund. Even the statutory members of the Fund's Board of Trustees found themselves helplessly watching as huge sums of money were paid out for questionable projects. And not surprisingly, the three professional management firms recruited by the Interim Management Committee to audit the performance of Afri-Projects Consortium came up with the unanimous conclusion that APC had over-charged the Fund for its services to the tune of over N2 billion.
APC directly managed the HIV/AIDS Intervention Programme of the Fund. Its managerial incompetence was found to be staggering. It knowingly imported sub-standard, poorly packaged, poorly stored, expired, or soon to expire treatment kits and drugs. And in the end, the auditing firms that investigated APC's performance concluded that it had cost the government N579 million by stocking huge silos of useless drugs and kits, purchased at inflated prices.
PTF's intervention in other areas of the health sector was equally atrocious. For instance, under the supervision of the omnipotent APC, PTF purchased large quantities of spectacle frames which were at the time costing only N800 a piece locally, for N1,900 a piece. This cost the public treasury over N45 million in inflated charges.
Ambulances whose going price at the time was N3 million each were found to have been purchased for N13 million each, leading to a loss to the treasury of N900 million.
PTF, through APC, purchased general drugs at the cost of N3 billion. The Interim Management Committee's consultants concluded that the Fund had been cheated by as much as N1.5 billion through inflated charges,
and because most of the drugs had already expired before they could be safely used.
The Interim Committee's consultants also discovered that PTF had decided, without approval from the government, to build a residential estate in Wuse, Abuja, a project which was clearly outside the scope of its intervention mandate. The project purportedly cost PTF N703 million. But the consultants concluded that a realistic valuation of the project could not exceed N328 million. The project cost was inflated by more than 100 per cent, at N375 million.
In virtually every other area of PTF activity, three separate consultants engaged by the Interim Committee, and working independently, concluded that there had been massive fraud or criminal mismanagement of funds belonging to Buhari's empire. The Headquarters Extension and Renovation Project of the PTF cost the Fund N461 million. The consultants determined that it should not have cost more than N326 million. The Fund had been defrauded by N135 million.
The PTF had three main bank accounts. The independent consultants concluded that the Fund had been short-changed by as much as N3.6 billion by way of short payment of interest accruals from deposits, or excessive charges on Cost of Turnover by preferred banks.
The Rural Water Supply Scheme was another funnel from which huge sums of money were siphoned away. The independent consultants determined that as much as N1 billion was recoverable from inflated costs and mobilisations for work that was never done. They discovered, also, that the Fund had lost as much as N900 million in the Educational Materials Supply Scheme, through inflated charges and non-performance of contracts duly paid for.
The Rural Telecommunications Development Scheme was another such scheme from which money was cynically carted away by favoured clients. The scheme was designed in two parts: a Pilot Phase, and the Main Phase. The Pilot programme was intended to determine the viability of the project. But this did not deter PFF, under Gen. Buhari, to award contracts for the main programme to the tune of N1.6 billion, without any contracts signed, and before any conclusions could be drawn from the Pilot project.
It is a horrendous story of criminal negligence, cynical fraud, and unprecedented disregard for all civilised standards of prudence and transparency in the disbursement of public funds. In the end, the independent consultants concluded that of the N181 billion that accrued to PTF in the four and a half years of its existence between July 1994 and July 1999, as much as N25 billion was either stolen or improperly expended.
Buharis defence
Sources from within the PTF Interim Management Committee assert that when Gen. Buhari was invited to comment on the findings of the committee's consultants regarding the conduct of the empire over which he presided, he coyly retorted that “I was not aware that such massive fraud went on his watch, but that in any event, he could not have benefited personally from the hideous purloining of the treasury”.
That may not be true, its a fact that he delegated to this outfit the sole and exclusive power to initiate projects, assess those submitted by other companies, approve variations on contract sums, and determine the quality of work done. He also, by his own admission, according to our sources, approved in writing all recommended payments from the Fund. But he did not know, he claimed, that those to whom he had delegated virtually all his powers were stealing the country blind. And no one has a right to call him to account, since to do so would be to question his famous reputation.
Former president Shehu Shagari was kept in jail for nearly one and a half years by Buhari, and almost lost his sight, when Buhari seized power on December 31, 1983, not because he was found guilty of any criminal offence, certainly not for abuse of his office. Shagari's only crime, it appeared, was that Buhari was convinced that the buck stopped at his desk, for as President, he had to pay vicariously for the purported crimes of his lieutenants. Umaru Dikko, Shagari's ubiquitous Minister of Transport, almost died in a crate, contrived by Buhari, that was en route from London to Nigeria, where he no doubt would have suffered worse than Shagari's fate. Some state governors were jailed for 200 years and more, because they could not account for how they spent their security votes (which were often no more than N20 million).

Christians in Southern Kaduna have been voting Muslims as governors since the creation of the state .

Kaduna State Governor Nasir el-Rufai .
Southern Kaduna Peoples Union ( SOKAPU) has said that Governor Nasir el -Rufai was heating up the polity with religious sentiment.
Reacting to the governor ’ s recent comment that 67 per cent of Christians in Southern Kaduna would not vote for him, even if he nominated the Pope as his running mate, the people said the result of the general elections in the state would not be determined by ethno- religious factor.
SOKAPU officials said yesterday that “ despite our measured and steadfast resolve to ignore this issue, considering the emotional reaction the interview generated, it has , however , become imperative to speak and correct the deliberate misinformation , negative stereotyping and the generalisation that was devoid of logic or fact. ”
The national public relations officer, Yakubu Kuzamani, stated: “ The fact is that Christians in Southern Kaduna do not hate Governor el -Rufai , but we abhor his deliberate policy aimed at reducing our people into political [ nobodies ] .
“With the general elections approaching, the governor has been peddling this falsehood at several events . We declare emphatically that our people and members , who include both Christians and Muslims , do not hate any politician on account of their religion . The governor’ s assertions are merely the figments of his imagination and should be ignored .”
According to Kuzamani , the deliberate falsehood manufactured by the governor is punctured by the fact that Christians in Southern Kaduna have been voting Muslims as governors since the creation of the state .
Muslim that had been elected as governors in Kaduna before el -Rufai include Alhaji Balarabe Musa , Alhaji Dabo Lere, Alhaji Mohammed Makarfi and Mohammed Namadi Sambo .
The group asserted that election of the above -mentioned were not based on religious sentiment, but competence and merit .
SOKAPU added : “ Governor el- Rufai was a direct beneficiary of that in 2015 when Christians voted for him.
“If Christians in Southern Kaduna voted for him in 2015, against the sitting governor , Alhaji Ramalan Yero , a fellow Muslim, why is he now alleging that Christians would not vote for him? What did he do now that he is alleging rejection by Christians ? How did the governor arrive at the 67 per cent figure of Christians that he alleged would not vote for him ? What is he really planning ?”
They advised el -Rufai to be a governor to all . “He should stand for all , speak for all and protect all . He should be the one dousing tension and rallying all for unity , instead of unnecessarily heating up the political atmosphere in the state .”

CBN raises alarm over Nigeria’s rising debt
January 23, 2019
The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has raised the alarm that Nigeria may return to the pre-2005 Paris Club debt level, if the Federal Government fails to come up with immediate measures to address the rising debt profile.
The MPC stated this on Tuesday in Abuja after its first meeting of the year.
It would be recalled that in October 2005, Nigeria and the Paris Club announced a final agreement for debt relief worth $18bn and an overall reduction of Nigeria’s debt stock by $30bn.
The deal was completed on April 21, 2006, when Nigeria made its final payment and its books were cleared of any Paris Club debt.
Statistics from the debt management office showed that Nigeria’s debt profile as at June 2018 stood at $22.08 billion.
However, key officials of the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration have consistently dismissed fears raised by Nigerians over the rising debt profile.
Prominent among these Buhari administration officials are the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo and the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola.
Speaking on behalf of the MPC on Tuesday, CBN Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele, said that the committee noted the rising debt profile and called for caution.
He said: “On external borrowing, the committee noted the increase in debt level advising for caution, noting that it could fast be approaching the pre-2005 Paris Club level.”
According to Emefiele, the committee noted that while the real Gross Domestic Product grew by 1.81 per cent during the third quarter of 2018, the persistence of herdsmen attacks on farmers, cattle rustling and flooding in parts of the country affected agricultural and livestock output.
He said in view of this, the output for growth remained fragile as the late implementation of the 2018 budget and the residual impact of flooding and security challenges constituted headwinds to growth.
The MPC called for the effective implementation of the 2018 capital budget and the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan in other to stimulate economic activities.
It also hammered on the need for improvements in the security situation in the country as well as continued stability in the foreign exchange market to enhance aggregate demand and growth.
“The committee observed that the near term risk to inflation remain the impact of flooding on agricultural output, insecurity on food producing belts in the country, exchange rate pass through to inflation due to the weakening of oil price and campaign-related spending towards the 2019 general elections.
“Accordingly, the Monetary Policy Committee called on the Federal Government to sustain its efforts towards improving security to ease supply chain bottlenecks.
“The committee recommended that the Federal Government should focus investment on infrastructure and urge the Federal Government to sustain the pace towards addressing infrastructure deficit in Nigeria.

“It noted that the immediate impact of this on the GDP will be slow in coming but it will expand the economy, reduce unemployment and increase aggregate demand in a more sustainable manner”, Emefiele said.
The MPC also backed the plan by the Federal Government to raise more revenue through Value Added Tax, saying the move would help to reduce pressure on government expenditure.
“The committee also noted the attempts by the government to broaden the base of the Value Added Tax and urge the authorities to expedite action in that effect, arguing that increased tax collection will reduce pressure on government expenditure and create fiscal buffers to improve macroeconomic management,” he added.
On the recent increase in foreign capital inflow into the country despite the political risks, Emefiele said this was based on the confidence of the international community in the country’s macroeconomic management.
He said: “The observed and recent high foreign capital inflow into the Nigerian economy despite the perception of political risks is based on the confidence of the international community in the country’s macroeconomic management and provides a compelling reason for the committee to await clarity on the macroeconomic performance after the general elections in February and March.”

Why wont they welcome him? everybody wants a piece of the national cake. They ways decieve people the Voter buying pastor will share money as usual.

Please Shia are Muslims too. Is Buhari allowing them practice their faith? We dont need any divisive forces. Muslims are being slaughtered in Zamfara, Bornu, Sokoto and so many places. Lets talk about those. Or is the OP more Muslim than they are? Respect peoples rights you say, but when you get to become majourity you dont respect other peoples right. South Africa Muslim population is minute, Yet they are allowed to live, work and flourish without harm. The Gazidis are now endangered, Christians in Egypt are now endangered, While Germany a country built by Christians, and still a predorminantely chritian country has thrown her doors open for Muslim refugees, the KSA, Kuwiat and so on refused to allow same muslims into their country, Why is that? Syria are predorminantely muslims why are they killing themselves? You want to have your rights, but in Kano you are destroying peoples goods. how many Muslims in Akwa Ibom, Portharcourt and so on are harrased daily? No one is against Muslim rights, we must stop the ugly Fanatism and religious bigotry that has engulfed this nation.

When a Govt. are shamelessly used to photoshoping and faking its achievements,when it becomes a norm for its officials to use images of roads being constructed in an even lesser African countries like Tanzania and Rice farms in India are used to lie to mask its gross incompetence and lifelessness. Everything begins to look like it was photoshoped.

These ones are still in severe pains. atleast 15-20% of those pro APC people who were genuinly concerned about the lies peddled by the APC propaganda machineries that Atiku is a wanted fugitive have now changed their mind about Atikus candidacy. cos this visit. Now that Atiku has gone to the U.S Nigerians should demand Buhari attends the debate.
