A picture has surfaced online showing Atiku with his mother he never knew.

Politicians and lies are like 5 and 6

But... She may probably be a foster Mom

This is funny, lol.

APC hungry journalist wannabes desperately looking for something to cling on to, to avert the inevitable. I understand, I truly do.

Atiku never said he was an orphan at childhood, but he was at some point in his life.

Below were his exact words :

“I started out as an orphan, selling firewood on the streets of Jada in Adamawa, but God, through the Nigerian state, invested in me and here I am today. If Nigeria worked for me, I owe it as my duty to make sure that Nigeria also works for you,” the former vice president was quoted as saying.

The fact that his mother was alive then doesn't still mean he didn't become orphan later.

What do you know by someone being an orphan? Can u show the picture of his mother still alive or stop being unreasonable.

The picture not even real. Crop and paste!

Please are you saying that He started selling Firewood after His Mother Died in 1984 when He is already a senior Customs Officer in charge of Lagos Airport?

He Joined The Nigeria Customs in 1970... And what was written on this Pictures says 1970s... So what else do you want to know

This is why the zoo will always come behind Biafra in all metrics of social progress. Simple english word orphan has started confusion. Tell a Biafran orphan and he knows exactly what you mean, but a zoogerian needs librarians from UK to come and settle his dispute on this word.
God hurry up and pass resolution for Biafra at UN.

Joining Nigeria custom does not interpret to being a senior custom officer.

Beside you don't know which month. Again do you know at what level he operated in the firewood sale? You think all firewood Sellers goes to market carrying #40 firewood on the head? I know politicians lie. I am not interested in defending anybody but I put it to you that the above picture is not indicting in any way.

Yes he became an orphan at age 30 something and started selling firewood to survive the streets. He joined the custom service in his twenties.

If you don't see the lie you're either dishonest or already made up your mind to support him

Did his mother die the day the picture was taken?

Na wah, is it so difficult to teach you people? His mother died in 1984 , 14 years after he joined the custom service, will he still be a cadet after 14 years in service? Even if he remained a cadet, will start selling firewood to survive after becoming orphaned in 1984?

An orphan in Islam is any child that lost his/her father at a tender age. While giving definition of an orphan, Islam gives emphasis on a child that lost the father (bread winner), not the mother

OK. I give up.
