FOLYKAZE:
Atiku asked Nigerians if they were better off now than they were four years ago.

A quick answer YES. Security wise, Economy wise and Developmental wise.

Atiku should answer questions directed at him by Nigerians.

What has he done to make Nigeria better between 1999-2007?

Over the year between 2007-2018, what has he done to show that he has completely changed from looter to public servant?

PDP begged for forgiveness for looting Nigeria dry. The issue is not only seeking forgiveness but complete repentance. Has PDP repented? Any sign of repentance in PDP state Government which Atiku is going to develop on?

Is he ready to travel and clear is name in USA?

PDP and Atiku admitted they created a mess which Buhari is cleaning. How are we sure they ain't going to add more to mess on ground?

Inflation rate in Nigeria declined to 11.26 percent in the month of October 2018 after rising for two consecutive months; August and September.

According to data released on Wednesday morning by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), the inflation dropped to 11.26 percent from 11.28 percent recorded in September 2018.

Business Post reports that on month-on-month basis, the headline index increased by 0.74 percent in October 2018, down by 0.09 percent points from the rate recorded in September 2018 (0.83) percent. The percentage change in the average composite CPI for the twelve months period ending October 2018 over the average of the CPI for the previous twelve months period was 12.78 percent, from 13.16 percent recorded in September 2018.

The urban inflation rate increased by 11.64 percent (year-on-year) in October 2018 from 11.70 percent recorded in September 2018, while the rural inflation rate increased by 10.93 percent in October 2018 from 10.92 percent in September 2018.

This is stale..GMB hired 80% of PDP members as his cabinet members. Naija GDP in 1999 was less than $200bn, PDP doubled the economy . Our reserve was less than $4bn, PDP grew in by 1000% to about $40bn..only 500k Nigerians had telephone, PDP increased teledensity to over 120m.. Minimum wage in 1999 was lesss than 2k PDP increased it N18k@900% increase. Tens of Millions Naija had no bank accounts.. no ATM machines in 1999,PDP introduced ATM and intriduced banking to tens of millions of Naija.PDP cancelled out foreign debt by $38bn. PDP built EFCC, ICPC, BPE, DMO,NAFDAC, etc

Obviously Nigerians are NOT.. The indices speaks for itself; Res Ipsa loquitor

PDP are to be blamed.

1) DPR is not not NNPC ( I knew you didn't know this)
2) NNPC might own refineries, but it doesn't refine because they don't work hence the crude oil swap/subsidy.
3)Shell, Chevron, Total et al all operate joint ventures on behalf of themselves and the NNPC. The NNPC operates nada. The only thing NNPC does is contribute Nigeria's share of the money and it's something the CBN can do.

Brief explanation of how the JV's work because I'm in a good mood.

When a new oil field is to be developed, the NNPC takes a percentage (usually 60%) while the rest of the companies involved share 40%. All parties involved usually contribute funds according to their share and when the field starts producing, the operator of the joint venture first takes its operating expenses first before the profits are shared according to shareholding.
NNPC contributes no technical expertise at all.

From NNPC's website


You have no clue as to how NNPC works.

Link 1: NNPC in 2018 signing a deal with CNNOC for gaining of technical expertise so NNPC can operate fields on its own.

PS: NNPC is 100% owned by Nigeria and it's a loss making entity.

NLNG: Nigeria owns 45% but doesn't manage it and it's a profit making entity and one of largest gas production firms in the world.

Obviously Nigeria has been worse off on all fronts since muhammudu buhari assumed power.No question about that.

• Call for Support for Obi’s Nomination

Three former Commissioners of Police (CPs) in Anambra State during the tenure of Mr. Peter Obi as governor of the state have exonerated him from the allegations that he demolished mosques and sacked non-indigenes, particularly northerners from the state.

These allegations are being propagated by the opposition against him on social media.

Speaking on at different occasions on the subject-matter, they were unanimous in rating Obi as a fair, humane and detribalised Nigerian, “whose passion as governor was for the good of all within his jurisdiction.”

Dismissing the news of demolition of mosques as a lie and propaganda obviously planted by the opposition to discredit the Atiku/Obi presidential ticket, they called on all well-meaning Nigerians, including Northern youths, to disregard the news as fake, urging them to always try as much as possible to verify report before believing them.

The former CPs in Anambra State, Gwary Usman, Alhaji Amusa Bello and Philemon Leha, who later retired in higher ranks, expressed concern over the spate of fake news, especially on social media, targeted at impugning the integrity of credible Nigerians, incidentally, the three ex-police officers are northerners who served during Obi’s eight years as governor.

Alhaji Amusa Bello, who was the CP in Anambra State from 2006 to 2010, described the allegation as laughable and a figment of the author’s imagination.

He also advised rumour mongers and purveyors of falsehood to desist from such acts, and support whoever God anointed to showcase what modern politics, leadership and management should represent.

Bello observed that it was unthinkable for anyone to associate Obi with violence or rascality as he never demolished any Mosque nor asked anyone, aside from criminals and kidnappers, to leave the state.

According to him, “I call on those behind this rumour to desist from that and look for fact. They should stop this ‘pull-him-down syndrome’ that will never take them anywhere good. Obi has a lot of credentials and several attributes that favour him in his aspiration. He dresses simple among others. Let them look for fact. He has emerged vice presidential candidate to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar; it’s God that ordained him. Let them support him.”

Similarly, retired Deputy Inspector General of Police, Mr. Philemon Leha, asserted that the Obi he worked with could not have and did not demolish Mosques nor asked non-indigenes to leave the state.

Visibly upset by the spurious allegation against Obi, he said: “I am from the North and I know what I am saying. Northerners are among the people building the economy of Anambra State and in what circumstances could a governor have sacked them? Numbering millions, they are practically everywhere in the state, including Awka, Amansea, Onitsha, Nnewi and many other towns and communities. Let Nigerians be assured that the allegation is a lie.”

Usman, who is a retired AIG, described the allegation as “false and wicked.” According to him, “It is not true. The allegation is false. I was in the state as CP and I was better placed to know the truth. Throughout the time I was in the state, nothing like that ever happened.”

Surprised at the gullibility of the people, he submitted that “Peter Obi is a gentleman. I can vouch for him. He is a detribalised citizen. I can tell you authoritatively that even if I wake up from slumber, I will tell you that Obi did not and can never hate any Northerner. I am surprised that our people are being deceived.”
