Did they not tell us that Fowler and Customs Service and JAMB have generated unprecedented revenue since Nigeria's amalgamation?

Lai Mohammed and Femi Adesina should quickly pull data from the CBN to let IMF know that Nigeria is now generating trillions of dollars from sales of JAMB forms.

What happened to the one with Cambridge?

Cambridge organized school certificate examination in 1961.

Has it been transferred to WAEC?

You will see more before and after these people are gone.

South West's middle class is completely wiped out.

Many professionals from South West have been rendered useless.

Many families have been thrown into serious crises.

Many have been sold into slavery in Libya.

The biggest products selling in South West currently are Regal Gin, Marijuana and Betting.

Educational advantage of the South West is systematically being decimated.

The proposed hike in school fees of Federal Universities to N350,000 will end everything.

They are gradually replacing South West's virile middle class with repacked almajiri system of TraderMoni and N-Power.

It took Buhari only 3 years to achieve these.

That is the reality of Nigeria's new status as the Poverty Capital of the World.

They can raise any amount by using the Mavrodi's formula.

In the next few weeks the $2.8b foreign loan will be added to the foreign reserves at the CBN and then their town criers will be sent out with gongs to proclaim that Buhari has increased the country's foreign exchange reserves.

Mind you, crude oil is currently selling above $80 per barrel while the budget oil price benchmark for 2018 is pegged at $51 but nothing is heard of the excess. No one knows what is actually going on.

NHIS was created by the PDP.

Just to manage it is now is a big problem for APC.

All Nigerian public institutions are gasping for breath because of in-your-face nepotistic practices.

This is yet another sign that things are getting rough for these people.

So voting a political party in a region is restructuring?

Is Baba Akande saying that rigging APC into government by fire and brimstone is part of their own brand of restructuring?

The desperation to 'capture' the South West by the APC is all too glaring.

The way the mob was unleashed on Ambode in Lagos revealed a level of desperation unparalleled.

And all this is just because they don't know how to handle Buhari's monumental failure.

Why is it difficult for the South West APC leaders to tell Buhati to his face that he has failed?

Are they afraid of him?

The last time that Tinubu was being pushed around by Buhari and his people not a single APC governor had the requisite "liver" to protest.

It was Fayose and other PDP guys who pushed back fiercely to the admiration of the same APC (speaking with one voice) cowards.

Now they have just institutionalized Bribery and Kickbacks.

But they'll tell you someone has integrity.

Don't forget these people do not believe in the rule of law.

Don't forget that they won't ever charge the alleged bribe givers and bribe takers to court.

Not ever.

Meanwhile, Ganduje is planning to deliver the whole of Kano votes to Buhari next year.

Five million Kano votes loading.

In Buhari's time, everything is being normalized.

Vote buying is being institutionalized.

They don't even pretend again.

They tell you clearly that it's INEC declaration that matters.

ATIKU-OBASANJO'S COALITION SHOULD NOT BE "DO-OR-DIE" IN 2019!.


Contrary to the consensus of opinion, Nigeria does not lack good leaders but is inundated with a plethora of unprepared, selfish, greedy, unpatriotic and passionless leaders whose only reason for leadership positions is sheer aggrandizement to acquire inordinate wealth and power!

The gale of defections and anti-party activities that enveloped the polity before the National Assembly (NASS), recess of over two months which eventually terminated on Tuesday 8th October, 2018, when plenary sittings resumed, confirms the foregoing assertion of man's insatiable greed for lucrative positions of authority unceasingly because both Senate President, 'Bukola Saraki and Hon. Yakubu Dogara jumped ship to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), but have vehemently refused to relinquish their exalted positions although PDP is in the minority in both chambers!

At the resumption of plenary, aggrieved APC Legislators were counselled to sheath their swords in respect of a-sworn impeachment move against the traitors but to conclude actions on pending legislatives bills which needed urgent presidential assent, for the sake of the masses of the down-trodden who would suffer the consequences of any wrong move considering the fact that the 2019 General Election was just about FOUR months away!


APC'S SCORECARD OF ACHIEVEMENTS IN THREE-AND-A-HALF-YEARS!
Political analysts have also opined that there could be no better time than this short window of opportunity before the elections for the ruling party to showcase its achievements to the Electorate who would cast the votes and gain their confidence in other to destroy the blackmails by all the defectors at both Federal and State levels!
Although the Change Government had to grapple with 16 years of a plundered economy which was on the way to recession and a virtually empty treasury on 29th May, 2015, the economic managers were able to fix most of the mess within the limited time and did not renege on its anti- corruption drive and the battle against the Boko Haram insurgency to ensure adequate security across all geo-political zones!

SIXTEEN Local Government Areas (LGAs), seized by Boko Haram terrorists between 2010-2015, were all recovered by the Federal Troops within one year of APC's Administration and as October 2018, the remnants of the renegade group were being mopped up!

Although another security challenge in the form of herdsmen/farmers clashes claimed lots of lives - especially in the Middle Belt Region from January 2018, government mustered all security apparatuses to fish out the killers and their sponsors in order to bring the brutality, which was a deliberate ploy by Buhari's detractors, to discredit all his achievements, to a permanent end!

The SPECIAL INTERVENTION PROGRAMMES (SIPs), of the ruling government was indiscriminatory from the onset as all States of the Federation have been affected positively in the very short time of the Change Administration. All uncompleted or abandoned projects of past governments from 1999-2015, were taken over and completed by the people-oriented APC Administration for faster developments in all sectors of the economy! Road and Rail networks have come alive in all geo-political zones as people, goods and services are discharged faster across the Federation in spite of the rainy season and floods!

Other achievements include, but not limited to:
(1) The introduction of the TREASURY SINGLE ACCOUNT (TSA);
(2) Whistle-blowing policy which exposed TAX EVADERS and fraudulent Civil Servants from whom at least over N 21billion naira and about USD $70 million, were recovered and the External Reserve Portfolio stood at USD$ 43.437,951,431 billion dollars as at 10th October. 2018, a commendable feat indeed!


THE EMERGENCE OF APC AND PDP PRESIDENTIAL FLAG BEARERS!
Although President Muhammadu Buhari emerged as the consensus candidate of the APC, the Party still held a national convention to ratify his candidacy on Saturday, 6th October, 2018 in conformity with the Party's Constitution!
Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, also emerged from among 13 Candidates as PDP's flag bearer but not without vehement allegations that USD-FILLED FAT ENVELOPES were distributed to all delegates by his agents!

BUHARI'S PROFILE: President Buhari is an accomplished statesman and democrat having cast the military garb of autocratic rule out of his system in order to fulfil his manifesto's promise that "he was for nobody and was for everybody!" This divinely anointed ambassador and crusader against corruption is a man of integrity both in the ARMY and as a civilian and even his worst detractor could not rail any accusation against him! He never enriched himself outside of his legitimate earnings and has no foreign bank accounts. The President has never amassed mobile or immobile properties in Nigeria or overseas for himself or relatives as some of his predecessors in office did! He does not possess an OIL WELL/BLOC and no one has been able to trace any act of corruption to him!


ATIKU'S PROFILE: Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar had Para-military experience in the Nigerian Customs where he served and retired as Deputy Director in 1989. He later went into business where he acquired much wealth which he diverted into partisan politics since 1999. He was indicted in office by the EFCC, a Ministerial Panel and Federal Executive Council (FEC), on charges of alleged conspiracy, fraudulent conversion of funds corrupt practices and money laundering!

He was also alleged to have received bribe money of USD $100,000 dollars from one Congressman Jefferson, to facilitate a certain contract from the Federal Government, and that he withdrew N20 million naira from the PDTF Account without due process in 2006! The rumour mill has it that ATIKU HAS BEEN BANNED FROM ENTERING THE UNITED STATES SINCE THE YEAR 2006!


DOES THE ATIKU-OBI TICKET POSE ANY THREAT TO BUHARI-OSINBAJO CONTINUITY AGENDA?
NO! Atiku Abubakar is no match for President Buhari, even if he ganged up with Satan himself other than with OBJ (aka, Ebora Owu, meaning, Owu's demon), his former boss for EIGHT YEARS in the State House, Abuja, because, from his profile, he might lack sufficient pedigree and integrity for the top job! During their fall out between 2006-2007, Obasanjo accused him of "embezzlement" of N20 million naira from the Petroleum Trust Development Fund (PTDF), under his watch and was also allegedly accused by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), of involvement in the Congressman Jefferson's bribe scandal which was investigated by the Agency and Nigeria's EFCC!

Atiku's profile speaks volumes and for him to anoint Peter Obi, a former two-term Governor of South East's Anambra State, is another kettle of fish! Since Obi's exit as governor, he had defected from APGA's Party platform, through which he enjoyed eight years of governance, to Jonathan's defunct PDP Administration and lobbied vigorously for a political appointment but failed! Peter Obi will be Atiku's greatest undoing!

During the second term election bid of his anointed successor, Governor Willy Obioma, Mr. Peter Obi, dishonoured the incumbent, sided with the opposition PDP candidate but failed woefully as Obioma, who was staunchly supported with APGA's party structure coasted to victory seamlessly! Does Anambra State alone constitute the South East Geo-political Zone or the entire Ndi-Igbo Clan?
Of what profit is Peter Obi to Atiku Abubakar as a running-mate? The belief of some political pundits was that the entire Ndi-Igbo Clan would rush to the polls on 16th February, 2019, and put Atiku in Aso Villa where he spent EIGHT YEARS (1999-2007), and FORGET IGBOS AMBITION TO PRODUCE AN IGBO PRESIDENT THAT WOULD OCCUPY THE VILLA FROM 2023-2031! The Igbos massively voted for PDP en-mass in 2015, but Muhammadu Buhari won in a landslide! Would they be lured to commit the same "suicide" in 2019? Can the Igbo people afford to lose their sure presidency mandate in 2023 to Atiku, who is allegedly carrying several corruption excess baggages? APC has made incursions into other South East States outside of IMO and the likelihood of winning more IGBO States cannot be ruled out! NDI-IGBO KWENU!


WHERE WILL OBASANJO’S VOLTE-FACE LAND HIM?
Obasanjo tore his PDP membership card and disowned the group for good in 2014 - but he is now back in PDP! He swore that he would never forgive Atiku Abubakar, but in a swift "about-turn", he is now dinning with him like in the old times before the 2006 feud between both men!

The former President, having lost face amongst his so-called COALITION THIRD FORCE- which fell like a pack of cards, like a drowning man has only Atiku Abubakar to hang on as a "saving grace"? Atiku is very desperate politician who would stop at nothing to become the President of Nigeria in 2019. ..... BUT, CAN HE? ATIKU AND OBASANJO SHOULD ALLOW PEACE TO REIGN IN NIGERIA! NIGERIAN POLITICS SHOULD NOT BE "DO-OR-DIE-AFFAIR", LIKE OBJ DECLARED IN 2007!

When ATIKU challenged BUHARI in 2014 during the APC PRIMARIES, he was flogged and did not even come second! Atiku is the holder of the national record of political defectors and we will not be alarmed if he decided to RUN FOR THE PRESIDENCY IN 2023 UNDER THE PLATFORM OF THE APC WHEN PRESIDENT BUHARI WOULD HAVE CONCLUDED HIS SECOND TERM IN OFFICE! MAYBE IT WAS TIME THE "EBORA OWU" RETURNED TO ROOST IN HIS SHRINE AND ALLOW THE "NOT-TOO-YOUNG-TO-RULE YOUTHS" OF THE APC TO TAKE OVER THE MANTLE OF CONTINUITY OF GOOD LEADERSHIP FROM PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI IN 2023!

In which court are the arrested suspects and their alleged sponsors being tried?

Be careful lest the blood of those murdered by terrorists be upon your head.

"And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them."
Ephesians 5:11

Also, we will note this...

SIXTEEN Local Government Areas (LGAs), seized by Boko Haram terrorists between 2010-2015, were all recovered by the Federal Troops within one year of APC's Administration and as October 2018, the remnants of the renegade group were being mopped up!

Are you saying that the reported brutal murder of the international aid worker, Hauwa Leman, just yesterday Monday, October 15, 2018 by Boko Haram for her "sin of apostasy" despite repeated warnings to government is part of mopping up of a renegade group?.

Are you saying that the incessant killings of the men of our armed forces and displacement of military formations by Boko Haram is part of the mop-up too?

The same PDP cleaned up the old pension system and introduced the contributory pension scheme from where Buhari has been borrowing money (raising TBs) to pay salary since.

MayorofLagos:
How many years is Mr Odumakin going to spend wailing to us about Tinubu? We have heard you, as many times you have poured your heart out about the bad things Tinubu has done. As at today, I would like for Mr Odumakin to please give us input and wisdom on where the future lies. Pack Tinubu to one side for now.

Do we vote for the future of Osinbajo and his lovely wife (Awolowo's grand-daughter) or do we vote to secure the future of Obi and his partners that want to take over Lagos from Afenifere, Odumakin, Tinubu and the rest of us?

Odumakin will be loosing it if he thinks we care anything about PDP. He himself does not believe in PDP, he is pushed to them because of his hatred for Tinubu. But can he turn that hatred for Tinubu into love for Osinbajo and an Awolowo?

We want leadership, not bickering.

You are invoking Awolowo's name because of your sinking ship.

Don't you care about your 'integrity' god again?

What about Miyeti Allah who are boldly laying claim to everywhere in Nigeria?

Mind you Awolowo's own daughter, Mrs Tokunbo Dosunmu, was one of those who visited Obasanjo with Baba Adebanjo few days ago while looking for a truly viable future from the sinkhole that your 'master strategist' dug for everyone.

Yet, by the stroke of his pen, Ambode took food out of the mouths of 381 powerful PSP operators each of whom also had hundreds of people under them.

Bloody hypocrites

Ambode rendered waste operators jobless and he was visited with an appropriate sanction by the electorates in his party.

But 7. 9m middle class jobs were destroyed under Buhari with families turned destitute and the people do not see anything wrong.

Anticipatory declaration of absolute failure.

Is Buhari not a Nigerian anymore?

Hehehehehe

Eye service gone awry.

What are the measures and who should put them in place?

MrPolitics:
What is this one saying? Nigeria has been Africa's largest economy since 2013 and is definetely not Africa's best performing economy in 2018 with such slow GDP growth.
But it remains the largest economy

You have not see anything yet.

They are just beginning with extreme propaganda.

Normal people don't take them seriously.

But then, their targets are the largely illiterate audience like them.

Expect this type of nonsense from this illiterates as we get nearer to the elections.

Their targets are extremely dumb people like themselves who don't know their left from their right.

Expect such lifeless claims from their conjured FORBES, CNN and several others as they dish out blatant lies and satanic falsehoods about Buhari's phantom integrity.

Will Buhari concede defeat?

They allergic to sound reasoning.

They just love spreading their demonic agenda all over the country.

The other day it was Audu Ogbe who claimed Thailand's rice mills were shut down because of the Nigeria.

Just plain EVIL admin.

Cases of cooked food stealing and sales of children for survival are being reported in the media.

Bread bakers are increasing the prices of bread currently.

Many companies are cutting operational costs, including salary cuts.

What other recession is more than these?

LOM1:
Prof Osinbajo is not being sincere at all. He now regard NPower volunteers job which will last just for two years as a greater achievement... Forgetting that over 7.9 million Nigerians have lost their job under Buhari's administration. By November this year the first batch of
volunteers (200,000 people) under the so hipped Npower work will become unemployed as their 2 years volunteer work will come to an end. Npower work is just a two years volunteer work and not a permanent job. Your administration should create a permanent job for Nigerians.

Don't mind them.

They impoverished Nigerians and started giving ALMS.

A government that celebrates giving ALMS to its people.

HotMata:
How is wish that Atiku will soon wake up from this sleep that he is currently rolling in or if he is actually awake, he should atleast rekove political sentiments and say the truth about these statements of his. The Vice President has already addressed Atiku's comments earlier today in his letter to Premium Times addressing the headline by Atiku saying that he - The Vice President - has gotten it wrong. Read the link below: https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/282431-restructuring-osinbajo-replies-atiku-explains-stance.html

Read before you post.

This is a fresh response to your link.

The preamble says it's a reply less than 7 hours.

Professor Osinbajo should tell us what aspect of restructuring he categorize CATTLE COLONY.

Is it geographic restructuring or the "elephant in the room"?

Says someone who referred to Fayemi as Fayose several times on the campaign for the former.

What about Buhari and Miyetti Allah's land and water redistribution across the country for their cattle business?

Is that one geographical or fiscal, Oga Professor?

Or is it part of eradicating GRAND CORRUPTION, sir?

Very funny to read about junior staff threatening to resign.

Premiumtimes, that's a joke.

It's like saying Osinbajo will resign if/when Daura is reinstated.

Will Osinbajo resign?

These are threats that are normally seen in children's comic books.

Prof. Wole Soyinka should just go and hide somewhere.

Does Buhari has to announce his intentions verbally before professor realizes that he been a dictator since 1900?

What was he thinking when he was persuaded by Tinubu and Ameachi to look the other way about Buhari brutality in 2015?

Is he just waking up now?

What has he been doing since Buhari has been displaying his dictatorship character?

When Buhari was seeking emergency powers to suspend the constitution and turn himself to a 21st century African 'god' where was Soyinka.

What does Soyinka think of refusing Dasuki and El-Zakzaky bail despite several court pronouncements?

Corrinthians:
Nope. National interest are clearly stated in our constitution and other laws. They chronicle what the responsibilities of the governments are and what the duties of the citizens are REGARDLESS OF THEIR INDIVIDUAL INTERESTS.

They are like lofty goals to which we MUST aspire as citizens of the same country.

If you beat down it's meaning to a "collection of individual interests, it implies "stealing and terrorism and vandalism and other such vices can also be viewed as national interests since these are the interests of some individuals!

Therefore, national interests are more or less a compendiums of the ambitions of the State, be they military, economic, cultural, etc.

What about Miyeti Allah's interest?

Buhari does not have the power to detain Nigerians in perpetuity in violation of judicial decision.

The judiciary has been vested with the power to decide what constitutes the rights of individuals in the country.

The same judiciary will play key roles in deciding his fate on numerous cases that are being lined up against him in due times.

Nobody will be in office forever.

[/quote]Lol

What exactly have these scammers started since 2015?

Has anyone heard of their Ajaokuta Iron Ore Mining project commencement dream?

What about their fantasized Lagos'-Calabar rail?

APC scams like no other in history.
