Gained admission into school of hygiene in 1966 and graduated in 1967 - which kin school and certificate bi dis?

Admitted in ABU 1967 on even scholarship for a 2 years diploma in law. Ordinary diploma in law. This is the highest that took him to deputy controller of customs and vice president of federal republic of Nigeria. This is the same person that is disturbing us about certificate.
The minimum educational requirement for the office of the President of Nigeria is the School Certificate level or its equivalent. Atiku has presented his School Certificate. Can your principal present his? Any qualification after school cert is “jara”. Let’s see your principal’s school certificate. Even if it’s D7 like the APC Governor who knows how to leave his dilapidated state to go an teach another governor how to govern.

He presented something higher. Isn't it better? You asked for a Bsc and I presented PhD. How about that.

Yesterday, Atiku disowned Paul Ibr for saying Atiku intended to reintroduce and withdraw subsidy after some time. Atiku insisted he was bringing back subsidy. Kenneth Okonkwo had said Atiku did not believe subsidy should exist since it is our product.

Atiku and his team have not properly articulated this subsidy talk. In my view, they should drop it. Atiku is not exactlu someone trustworthy. He has been in government and his records on privatisation, power sector reforms, and economy are extremely poor.
What exactly is not clear about " i will restore subsidy"

As for Onanuga trying to complicate what is not complicated .... The question is simple
What did Tinubu remove subsidy on, that resulted into hyper inflation in the last 3yrs .. Is it kerosene ? Is it diesel ? Is it by product Tinubu removed subsidy on top

If Atiku subsidy crude with dangote it will be exclusively on PMS .. because that is what Tinubu touched nd nigerians lives never remain the same

I see people argue where will he Atiku money ..Same places we see money to repair refinery everytime, same places we see money to give inec trillions to organise just an election
same places we see money to finance an expensive bicameral legislature

If Nigeria govt can afford to lose 6 trillion tax waiver yearly then make nobody tell us we cant see money for " subsidy"

Atiku, believe that Nigerian can be deceived two time, by telling Nigerian that he will remove subsidy , he did now respect any one apart from his Fulanis brother, subsidy not suppose to be among of campaign promise, that excitedly what Buhari Government did to us, he said he will make one naira to become equal with Dollar and a lot of change slogans during campaign.

Do you even know what you are saying ... is Atiku not older than Tinubu

And if it is money, na Atiku put money down to start Pdp in 1998

Atiku have commanded more votes in previous elections than what Tinubu got in 2023

Mate in what exactly,
Re: Tinubu's Aide, Onanuga Blasts Atiku Abubakar On Subsidy by Ankakh: 11:15pm On Aug 26
This freed up resources he's alluding to is exactly where...

Are salaries being paid across the states?
Are infrastructure being built across the federal and state roads?
Are LGs living up to their role?

Are these newly freed up funds impacting the everyday man?

That's how you show workings. Not that removal of fuel subsidy had freed up funds.

Nigerians are not naive. Debate is childish and academic. Atiku was in government for eight years and in charge of running the economy what did he do with subsidy and our petroleum sector? He couldn't even ensure that PIA came to fruition.
Clearly you are the one being unreasonable here, its public knowledge " vice president is ceremonial " you have no constitutional capacity to give directive or make policies that over rides your principal ...
You can't say Atiku is in charge of the economy becos he stands only as delegate ...every decision must conform with what Obasanjo wants or agenda
How many policy does shettima have in his name he is vice just like Atiku

Is not a question of what did he do as Vice, cos by framework Vice cant do nothing

Tinubu in government for three years:
Removed subsidy
Separated the petroleum and gas ministry. Gas is a major on its own.
Presently repositioning NNPC
NNPC remittance is on all time high.
Crude production is on the rise
The oil majors are all coming back because of the policies of the present government.
ALL the Tinubu change dis position that you are rapping ...uncle how as it delivered optimal production , do you know gas recently went up nd it still expensive cos of local supply shortage

did you say crude production in the rice, afi rice ...when as 2015 under GEJ we recorded 2.1m Bdp, 11yrs after you want us to celebrate 1.5m bdp lipsrsealed

Which of the policies reflect enabling enviromment for more private refineries to open

Which of Tinubu fiscal policies promote " local production"

Data boiz will just come online nd start hallucinating

Onanuga and Atiku are not on the same level.
Why should Atiku reply Onanuga?
A former vice president of Nigeria' to boy boy to a president.
It's should be Atiku aide to Onanuga.
Re: Tinubu's Aide, Onanuga Blasts Atiku Abubakar On Subsidy by galantjoe(m): 3:54am On Aug 27
Why giving people other alternatives, why can't govt make fuel subsidy implementation efficient, transparent and accountable rather outright removal of only good thing Nigerians benefitted from govt.

What else is essence of govt if not to maintain laws and order, provide public goods and services (this is where fuel, electricity, education and healthcare subsidies come) in in affordable manner.

However in Nigeria, govt does not maintain laws and order - insecurity is order of the day, govt does not provide public goods and services such as subsidy for fuel, electricity, healthcare and education - resulting to high fuel price, high electricity tarrif, high cost of getting healthcare and high cost of getting university education.

If Peter Obi continues to support fuel subsidy removal, he has fallen from hands of common men who suffer to pay for fuel pump price at N1,400.

Tinubu is big FAILURE.A FAILURE of unimaginable magnitude.He has successfully FAILED in everything he laid his filthy hands on.He FAILED The Baby boomers,he FAILED The GenX,he FAILED The millennials,FAILED The Gen Zs,Gen Alphas and Gen Betas.Infact he has woefully FAILED generations yet unborn.What exactly does he really want from Nigerians.Please park your things and get out of Aso Rock.

And his reply or counter attack is always very weak and docile. He particularly lacks deep knowledge of whatever he wants to defend and doesn't research much. Hes an erudite journalist but still operates based his strategies on the traditional methodology.

Caring and compassionate governments around the world, subsidize energy for their citizens. Especially the oil producing countries, even the ones that don't have oil.
However, in Nigeria our wicked and satanic government led by Tinubu removed subsidy on fuel, just to impoverish and punish the citizens,

Jossyman0007:
No be now that you are yabbing your mouth

My question again is......
(1) What have you used the trillions derived from subsidy removal for?? huh huh huh
There never any money in the first place. Govt was borrowing to pay subsidy, that was then embezzled.

Jossyman0007:
(2) What has been the gains of Nigerians from the subsidy removal?? huh huh huh
NELFUND Loan?
5 times more money to other tiers of govt.

You are asking the wrong question. You should be asking your Governors and LGA, what have they done with the money?

Willie2015:
APC is in jittery mode...
I like the way Atiku is attacking APC weakest point
The gap between macroeconomic reform and the everyday experience of ordinary Nigerians.

“If subsidy removal was supposed to free resources for Nigerians, where is the improvement in their purchasing power?”
The problem here is ignorance, illeteracy has kuku been weaponised by the same politicians.

I remember Tinubu and Atiku protesting against Weak Jonathan, who didn't buy his masters in Dubai.
Jonathan foresaw the implications of Subsidy and his futile attempts at removing it was trucated by Cabals , as well as Ignoramus Nigerians led by Tinubu.

There is a saying, You don't know where the shoe pinches until you wear it.

Consider this, Nigeria as an oil producing country, was borrowing to pay oil producers to reduce the cost of petrol.

Its like you owning the farm and Chicken, but paying the egg picker, so they can sell at, half price to your children. There is nothing wrong there, except you are now borrowing to pay the egg picker!!!!!!

Stop borrowing to pay the egg picker, borrow to buy more chickens. let the egg picker sell at their price, free up more funds.

The other point is the purchasing power?
Did Nigerians ever had the true value of their purchasing power?

Think, why was there bank rate/ black market rate?
It was a scam of the highest order. The purchasing power was a mirage and not a true reflection of the economy.

It was a terrible policy that only favoured the rich and destroyed the economy.

You got bank rate if you were close to bankers.

The bank rate was even subsidized by borrowing dollars.

In other words, we borrowed for everything that was not productive, the borrowed funds were then even embezzled.

Guys Tinubu is far from perfect. But he has been te only president that has decided to focus on reality and stop pretending Nigeria is rich....

Heard Atiku saying Nigeria was Oil rich, biggest lie ever.
Nigeria produces max 2million bpd for 300 million people, Kuwait does 6 million for less than 10 million..

Is Nigeria actually Oil rich or is Atiku just whining you guys?

You could have started a counter protest. But you never understood what Jonathan was on about, and even now you don't understand what Tinubu is about.

Were Governors given more funds?
Were LGA given independency?

Tinubu has done both and even took governors to court.

Any other thing?

More funds in figures... values eroded by hyper inflation even after rebasing?

You guys keep singing governors have more funds as the only achievement of this administration, does it even make sense to you people?

I can't remember the last time that I presented my FSL, GCE "O" and "A" levels certificates in any interview. Even higher certificates at our level in most cases are for formality. Several times I have resumed senior jobs before putting up applications to just formalize the appointment.

At very high level what you have done gives you the job and not your paper quality. That's how it works in developed economies.
