ATIKU, THE PROVIDER OF LABOUR AND SERVICES? A BRIEF CASE STUDY OF AMERICA UNIVERSITY OF NIGERIA

By Akin Omoz-Oarhe

Why are you always led by the nose ? Can’t you do your independent reasoning? Just imagine Atiku telling you that he is a provider of labour and services through his various investments and you are now jumping all over the place repeating same. Can’t you ask what labour he has provided and who are the beneficiaries of the services defender. Can’t you ask how the “services” he has provided over the years, improved the life of the down trodden? What a shame. Let me help you here, taking a glance at one one of his best known investments, the America University of Nigeria.

Atiku owns America University of Nigeria, Yola, Adamawa State. Adamawa is his home state. Constituting the Board are:

BOARD MEMBERS.
**1. Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Non-Nigerian
**2. Dr. John Campbell. Non-Nigerian
**3. Dr. Bamanga Tukur. Nigerian
**4. Dr. Louis Goodman. Non-Nigerian
**5. Mr. Gabriele Volpi. Non-Nigerian
**6. Alhaji Tajudeen Dantata. Nigeria
**7. H.E. Prof. Gilbert Bukenya. Non-Nigerian
**8. Prof. William Bertrand. Non-Nigerian
**9. Vice Admiral D. J. Ezeoba. Nigerian
**10.Bishop Matthew Kukah. Nigerian
**11. Dr. Anna Mokgokong. Non-Nigerian
**12. Alhaji Adamu Abubakar. Nigerian
**13. Chief (Dr.) Mike Adenuga. Nigerian
**14. Dr. Peter Lewis. Non-Nigerian
**15. Mr. Jon Freeman. Non-Nigerian
**16. Mr. Ike Chioke. Nigerian
**17. Mr. Akin Kekere-Ekun Nigerian
**18. Dr. Dawn Dekle. Non-Nigerian

Can you believe that 56% of the Board membership are non-Nigerians. Why would Atiku think that Nigerians cannot totally run his University.

LIST OF PRESIDENTS
Since inception of the University, there have been four Presidents which are equivalent to our Vice Chancellors. They are
**1. David Huwiler. Non-Nigerian
**2. Michael Smith. Non-Nigerian
**3. Margee Ensign. Non- Nigerian
**4. Dawn Dekle. Non-Nigerian.

Why does Atiku think that Nigerians are not good enough to Head his school? Not even one? I can only think out a reason: It is part of human behavior to see in other people what you are. If you are a fraud, you think everyone else is a fraud. To Atiku, all Nigerians are all fraud like him who should never be allowed to Head his institution lest they financially crumble the place.

WHAT BENEFIT DO PARENTS OF ADAMAWA KIDS DERIVE FROM THE SCHOOL?

For a First Degree, The fee is :
Tuition 1,590,000
Boarding 650,000
Meals. 678,300
Technology 70,000
Sports. 50,000
Student Activities 60,000
Health 20,000
e-Books 90,000

TOTAL. 3,208,300 (Three million, Two hundred and eight thousand, three hundred naira only). In addition to this, a student that decides to take an extra course in a semester beyond the 15 credit units for that semester, pays extra N53,000 per credit unit. Note also that the feeding here is for only 42 meals the college would provide. You provide the rest 1050 meals for yourself. In simple term, a student spends over N4m per annum just to be student of Atikus University.

Adamawa is not a particularly rich state. Most people are peasant farmers. A permanent secretary in Adamawa State is on annual salary of about N2m. Such a Permanent Secretary would need a two year salary to pay one year school fees of one of his four children in AUN. What could be giving Atiku the picture that his people can afford such a fee? Again we can see Atiku projecting his life style on others. As a custom officer, Atiku became a multi billionaire from stealing public fund. He expects other public officers to do same. As regards the peasant farmers, Atiku definitely believes they are simply not worthy of attending his school.
The chances are high that there may not be up to 20 Adamawa Children in AUN and definitely not a single child of the honest civil Servant or Peasant.

WHAT TYPE OF CHILDREN IS ATIKU BREEDING?
Think of the kid from Atiku’s University that had spent over N60,000 monthly on accommodation and had been fed 42 times at the rate 16,000 per meal. Now academically endowed, he desires to improve his fatherland by taking up an accountant in Adamawa State Ministry of Finance where his entire annual salary is less than N500,000 to cater for his accommodation, feeding, clothing, transportation and with a view to bring up his own child in colleges not worse than the one
he attended. Tell me what he would do? Sure there is only one way open to him. It is to behave like Atiku and go straight for the treasury.

Nigerian youths, please avoid Atiku like a plague

Those atithief guys don’t like reading - atithief spent 8yrs as VP ,and he made sure benefitted the most the university was eatablished at a time Nigerian universities were in dire need of funding

This man didn’t give a hoot.

It was a merry moment earlier today after the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate in the February 14, 2019 election, Atiku Abubakar, picked former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi, as his running mate.

Obi emerged the preferred choice of both the party and the candidate after series of consultations by stakeholders in the party and outside it.

It has been gathered that the name of Obi and that of Atiku will be sent to the Independent National Electoral Commission next week.

The former vice president on Sunday became the presidential candidate of PDP, Nigeria’s main opposition.

Peter Obi was seen in an elated mood with Champagne popping as he celebrated the selection with Chief Gbenga Daniels, a former two-term Governor of Ogun State and the Director General of the Atiku Campaign Organization, along with others.

MrOpp & family Atikulobi 2019, its a better choice.

NaijaRoyalty:
It's worth celebrating, it's not easy .

Peter Obi and Atiku partnership, is a GOALLLLLLLL.


Never again will a Lifeless dullard be President of our dear country .

Buhari lied he no get 45million naira to buy Presidential nomination form but his wife get 2.5 billion Naira.

Our mumu never do

Are we fools in this country ?

How can a certificateless president be deceiving us like this ?

Yusuf Buhari power bike he recently crashed is worth over 50million naira

Nigerians lets wake up from sleep na .

this write up make sense die

our eyes don dey open

I so much like this Atiku man.
Mr Obi as d vice president would ganner all his tribe to vote for Atiku.
We d Yoruba have no choice than to vote someone who is not tribalistic, a true Nigeria, someone who understand d economic situations of a country and a wealthy man.
Not again a useless, cow brain, tribalistic old man.

JuanDeDios:
Interesting rant. Yorubas held a meeting, resolved they're voting against Atiku since he has an Igbo running mate, and showed you the communiqué? And since you think it's all about ethnicity and not what's good, how is it wrong if they vote Buhari because of their "son"?

ur post is insensible. In the spirit of reconciliation and restructuring don't u think its time we embrace the Igbo man again at leats for the good n unity of the country? Secondly for Atiku to go against all odds to pick a running mate from south east even though u Yoruba's are threatening not to vote him if he dares, does it not show u a strong willed person which in the interest of the nation? Atiku has shown the hr is detribalized as he learnt from OBJ his master, that is why he already has my vote n I will campaign for him both in this forum, on Facebook, WhatsApp , Instagram, n schools, in the markets, in the banks, in the church n even outside the shores of this country. Thank u

Yoruba people think Atiku has made a mistake for choosing a candidate from the east sighting reasons why they think its a flaw move, one of the reasons which is that "he already has the vote of the east in his hands and need the vote of the west" but they r 4geting something
1. APC already has a Yoruba VP thus, if PDP makes a Yoruba their VP, then the vote will be simply divided between APC n PDP and APC will win since most Yoruba states are already being controlled by the APC but giving the VP slot to the east, the easterners will remind not just Nigeria but the entire world of their population all over the country.
2. The Yoruba's should not forget that even when they entirely turned their backs against PDP, the SS and SE stood by PDP. It is going to be groosly unfair to overlook loyalty for uncertainties knowing that u cannot predict the Yoruba man politically and also not forgeting that a good number of them has their loyalty with Tinubu whose allegiance is with the APC.
3. The Yorubas should not forget that when their son Olusegun Obasanjo contested for presidential election, the Igbo's gave him massive votes n supports, its not right to 4get history so soon. The Igbo's are not asking for presidency but because they have been chosen for VP, all of a sudden u don't want to vote Atiku. Well good for u, the north central, south south, south east are on their side n most especially God is on their side n he will put to shame all those who are enemies of progress.

And for those APC supporters who think this is also a flaw, PDP doesn't need ur opinion. I don't think PDP was expecting anything different from what u ppl are saying. Any candidate they would have chosen, u ppl would have said the same if not worst so ur opinion count next to nothing


And finally for PDP, i must commend ur political chess game it is really working. U have shown the entire world how to play opposition n win back power. APC the ruling party could never have predicted a move of Atiku and Peter Obi before PDP presidential primaries. All their focus was Saraki n see now

Well too bad. With all this long note you still didnt make any sense. Politics is not a game of emotions. Its a game of numbers. Igbos cannot decide the outcome of any election in Nigeria today as it stands because of your numbers.
So for Atiku to field Peter Obi by apealing to your emotions is a poor political judgement.
SW will not sit back and not vote back thier already performing VP to power. And if you think we SW will vote Atiku becos of Igbo sentiments you can just forget it.
We will keep trashing you igbos untill you eventually understand real politics which I doubt

15million registered voters in south west is laughing.Nw highest voting region is for Buhari followed by sw

you know you could have checked market price before typing this, atleast you would have come up like someone that had something upstairs

Mouth Gig:
TRASH.... GOD BLESS PMB..

take a good look at ur Monica n tell me if anything that makes sence will ever make sense to u

APShit was hoping it will be Saraki And Ekweremadu but God Atikulated them. Atiku no need West they are backstabbing vultures... SS n SE got a good number of people living in the West and some sensible Western brothers wey dey wish naija well. I trust Peter Obi,He's outspoken and doesn't take nonsense, Atiku should be aware of that.
God finally answered Nigeria's prayer.
if buhari no accept the result...we go burn him.

he is a heavy importer of big and expensive champaigns

Peter Obi, a very good man both in and outside . he's good for the job but unfurtenately, he's on the wrong side .


Buhari/Osinbajo we know !

I hope Garba shehu, Femi & ameachi are not watching this oh! Just concerned about their health oh!(BP)... #concernedfellow...

truthfulparrot:
I am from South West and I will still vote for Atiku. The fact that Atiku picked Peter Obi even at the risk of losing favour of some people from the Southwest is an indication that ATIKU is a man that knows his onions and he is not afraid to take difficult decisions that will be in the best interest of the country.
The combination of ATIKU and Peter Obi will translate to great economic boom for Nigeria. ATIKU is a detribalised Nigerian who will ensure all Nigerians irrespective of tribes and region will have a sense of belonging. Feelers from the international community indicates that world leaders are behind ATIKU and he is consulting widely before making any choice.
In the spirit of reconciliation and restructuring, there is a need to give the Igbo a sense of belonging.

The few Omoluabi's on NL

Hmm, bunch of loosers, Sai Baba till 2023

Okoroawusa will almost die of a heart attack when he sees this

Abubakar Obi

Baba is sleeping soundly in the Villa. Wetin concern am. Some people made so much talk, went to Port-Harcourt and came back empty handed. We are waiting to hear from them. No word yet. Baba still dey sleep. PYO is watching Dove TV.

Congrats Okwute ndigbo....

Atiku made a very smart choice, Obi is a Technocrat and a good politician. Nigeria youth should rally round this two great guys they have the experience on how Capital economy works and will create massive jobs and open the doors for massive foreign investment drive. If you doubt Peter Obi's competence come to Anambra and see his outstanding legacies or just listen to him for 5 minutes.
Nigeria will be Great Again
ATIKULATE Nigeria is a sure project.

fiizznation:
Lol what a political blunder from Atiku....... The election will now be between "zoogerians"(the derogatory name igbos called Nigerians) and the "biafrans".


Anyway sai Buhari till 2023

I'm sorry, we have gone past this. The coming election is not about any tribe, religion or region but about the wellbeing and livelihood of Nigerians. I have never voted in my life, but this time around i will be the first at the polling unit. Nigeria must progress

By choosing PETER OBI, ATIKU HAS PROVEN HE IS READY TO DELIVER THE DIVIDENDS OF DEMOCRACY TO NIGERIANS.

ChrisMafian:
Peter Obi is a nice man but his alliance with Atiku is ungodly. Atiku will never get any close to our national treasury.

Sai Baba 2019
