Probably this is one of the reasons many Nigerians are jinxed and even die before their times in life. Imagine a lying of this magnitude, how can you promise something to be commissioned in April, 2016 and here we are now in April 2018 you can't even boast of building 2 let alone3 or 4 yet some animals in human skins can't see beyond their blunt ugly noses that Buhari is a giant fraud but are still chanting, "Buhari till 2023" like deranged bastards

On September 6, 2015 one of us here, UrennaNkoli shared with the house on Buhari's promise to deliver 5 Airport Terminals by April, 2016 below is the article and here we are in 2018. Anyone with the lead to those terminals?


The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Aviation, Hajia Binta Bello, has said the federal government will complete and deliver five international airport terminals across the country, concurrently being remodeled and built to meet international standards at a total cost of $500 million (N100 billion).

The remodeling of the airports located in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Kano and Enugu, was conceived by the former Minister of Aviation, Ms. Stella Oduah, at the cost of $500 million, including a counterpart funding of $100 million (N20billion) from government on Built, Operate and Transfer (BOT) basis.

Bello, who made this disclosure weekend in an interview with THISDAY in Abuja, averred that finance was not an impediment to the delivery of all the projects going on simultaneously in the five major states of the country.
According to her, "We don’t have any financial impediment that would slow down the work that is in progress. For instance there is no problem of finance with the finance of the five ongoing international terminals.

"The five international airport remodeling terminals are being financed by the Chinese EXIM bank loan and federal government’s counterpart funding of $100 million, which has been paid at the commencement of the projects. I therefore assured that the contractors will deliver the project by the first quarter of 2016."

The timely completion of the five new brand terminals, Bello pointed out, became imperative in the present administration's change mantra, adding that it would help to boost foreign direct investment and increase the nation's gross domestic product.

Assuring all on completion timeline of nine months, Bello disclosed that the airport remodeling projects were almost half way completed. “The job is about 45 per cent complete, but the most important thing is that the contractors have all the other materials ready as are only awaiting shipment from China. Most of these things are already done as the super structure is already on the ground. And once the materials arrive, it will just be fixing of the materials," she said.
However, the permanent secretary admitted that the envisaged delay at the 22 domestic airports regarding infrastructure upgrade was due to financial constraints.

She said hands were on deck to guarantee the collective interest of safety, security and efficiency at the domestic airports, adding that very soon installation of sophisticated security equipment apart from the ones already there will be completed.
According to her, agencies under the ministry had been mandated to assert their regulatory functions to inspire public confidence and stimulate growth in the sector.

She emphasised that steps were also being taken to ensure that all airport operations conform to established laws and regulations in line with the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) standards.
Meanwhile, Bello expressed confidence that the committee on national carrier will come out with solutions for the establishment of a national flag carrier that Nigerians will be proud of.

President Muhammadu Buhari, she revealed, had given the ministry a marching order to commence work on the national carrier that should culminate in making the Nigeria Africa’s aviation hub.
She stated that the establishment of a national was not only justified by economic considerations, but also national interest, national pride and job creation potentials for the country.

The committee, she noted, had the mandate to consult widely with stakeholders on establishing a national carrier, including interested national partners on the basis of Public Private Partnership (PPP).

This demonic party with their lies through the despot, Buhari promised to deliver 5 international Airports Terminals by April 2016, any lead on the completion of those terminals great minds in here.

Timelines: The Nexus Between Buhari And Boko Haram!

1. In 2012, Boko Haram a renowned terrorist group opted for dialogue with the Federal Government under @GEJonathan. The group according to media reports nominated President Buhari as mediator. That's a landmark historical event Nigerians can't ignore.

This is a thread �


2. In 2013, President Buhari faulted the Federal Government's action against the terrorist group. He accused the government of killing and destroying their houses while the Niger Delta militants were given special treatment by the government.


3. In 2014, the media reported an attack on President Buhari in Kaduna. Buhari said he was the target of the bomber while his loyalist Rotimi Fashakin said “I’m sure political Boko Haram are behind the attack”. Boko Haram did not claim the attack till date.


4. In 2015, Buhari became president and later declared that he is ready to negotiate with the dreaded Boko Haram terrorists without any preconditions.

5. In October 2016, the government paid the terrorist group what the London Guardian of October 14, 2016 called a “‘handsome ransom’ worth millions of dollars” in exchange for the release of 21 Chibok girls. “Millions of dollars” would add up to at least a billion naira.

6. As a reward for releasing 84 Chibok girls, the Buhari government paid Boko Haram a €2 million ransom, which adds up about N705 million, according to the Wall Street Journal of December 4, 2017.

7. On January 15, 2018, the federal government freed 244 “repentant” Boko Haram members. How the hell did they know that they are “repentant”? And what does that even mean? If you know tell me.


8. Again on February 11, 2018, the government paid Boko Haram an unspecified amount of money to free 13 hostages. In essence, Boko Haram now has a bigger, fiercer, more menacing war chest—financed from Nigeria’s public treasury— than the Nigerian military.


9. Meanwhile, in addition to paying the terrorists N705 million in 2017, five notoriously vicious Boko Haram commanders in the custody of Nigerian authorities were released. Recently, the government freed another 526 Boko Haram members, according to CNN.


10. According to BBC Hausa and Daily Trust, our soldiers who came close to capturing Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau were told to back off by unnamed honchos in Abuja. Who gave the order?


11. On Monday last week 110 pupils of the Government Science and Technical College in Dapchi, Yobe State, remain unaccounted for after Boko Haram terrorists invaded their school. Then, a lot of lies started flying around.

12. NOTE | Daily Trust- largest circulating newspapers in Northern Nigeria.

The New Telegraph- chaired by Dr. Orji Kalu who is a member of APC

The Nation, you know the owner

They all published a LIE from the pit of hell on the front page.


13. After the negotiations between this government and Boko Haram, Buhari paid approximately N2 billion to rescue 105 Chibok girls and released 775 Boko Haram members.

14. After claiming that they have defeated Boko Haram, they are now using the same Boko Haram to loot our treasury in preparation for 2019 election. Approving whooping $1 billion (about N360 billion) to fight the acclaimed defeated Boko Haram is a tragedy. That is N10 billion per state if divided by 36 states.

*Is this not a government of Boko Haram by Boko Haram for Boko Haram?*

Help to share above information. �����.

Wailer spotted*********.children of hate.you are a product of infantile ejac*ulation

Son, I am not an orphan like you who doesn't have parental care. I am stating the obvious since you are still sleeping that come what may, you and your god, Buhari, will be kicked back to your village in Daura come 2019!

kcmichael:
They have started wailing too early. Chai,2019 they will wail more.........

Do not be deceived by the gods or whatever thing you worship because I am too sure that 2019 will be too hot for your likes to rig the demon back into power, Buhari and your likes will be kicked back to Daura. This thread is to create awareness and it is all over the place. Why you folks reason like goblins is what baffle some of us.

fk001:
Nigeria will be great again.




God bless PMB




PMB till 2023

Whosoever did this to you in real life I pray that it shall not be well with such a wicked soul because this is nothing but demonic wickedness and influence in high places. Visit the nearest MFM Church for counseling and spiritual bath before it is too late. Your case is not ordinary, take my words serious.

Reading and reading over and over again this hot topic, I keep wondering why many contributors here except for few are not coming up with concrete and convincing proofs from the Bible why the Doctrine of Trinity should be supported by all Christians because so far, I am yet to be convinced that it is Biblical.

abduljabbar4:
I will vote Buhari again at all costs. most of the noisemakers here dont have pvcs

Give me one reason how you can be a success in life when you are still this dark in your thinking faculty, who cares who you vote for Heaven knows your Buhari is history come 2019 and I pray you are caught rigging for him and see if your type will live to tell the story.

Onyochejohn:
no kudos to electorate and area boys who helped him for second term

I tell you dear

SadiqBabaSani:
Not in to say

My brother you don't have to be in to know the manipulations. Just today, my wife who registered under the 2011 exercise was told that the registration is now invalid that she must do another one but up North you hardly hear that, because PVCs are frequently handed over to.Almajiris and foreigners from Chad and Niger Republic. My brother shine your eyes.

emiwanlee:
Youwin is a rock solid policy sha! I am beginnig to think that Jonathan is the greatest of afircan president rhat has ever lived

You can say that again.

No doubt every right thinking human beings are fed up with Buhari

BUHARI/APC DESTROYED ONE OF NIGERIA'S BEST PROGRAMMES IN AFRICA CALLED YOUWIN, INITIATED BY JONATHAN.

PDP under GEJ introduced the YouWiN scheme with the support of World Bank.

In 2012 total of 1,200 were given grant to either start a new business or boost existing business and employ more Nigerians.

Another 1,200 all female entrepreneurs were selected and given the grant in 2013.

Basking in the euphoria of the YouWiN success stories and the massive job creation, the number of awardees was increased to 1,500 in 2014.

But alas when Buhari and his APC took over power, they almost frustrated the 3rd set of YouWiN awardees completely as they had to stage protests upon protests before some of them could get their payment. Till today few of them are yet to get their remaining money and their businesses are suffering.

2015 and 2016 no YouWiN under APC. In 2017 APC changed YouWiN to YouWiN Connect. But the World Bank is no more supporting the scheme due to how APC mismanaged the 2014 YouWiN funds left by GEJ administration for APC to disburse to awardees.

The 2017 YouWiN Connect is no more to be grant but loan since World Bank is no more supporting.
*Imagine how much Nigeria has lost from World Bank since 2015.

*Imagine what 4,500 entrepreneurs getting between N1 million and N 10mililon (in grant, not loan) would have contributed to employment and the economy. This is the total number that would have received this YouWiN grant since 2015 if APC had not caused World Bank to opt out.

*Imagine the kind of government that can throw into trashcan, a programme adjudged one of the best in Africa the YouWiN!

TRULY SPEAKING BUHARI IS THE WORST MISTAKE NIGERIA EVER MADE.

This is in order and a fantastic eye-opener for us all, INEC is definitely on a mission and I think the OP deserves to be commended for this alert that we must take in deeply against 2019. I experienced some manipulations too in this regard as a Southerner!

Like I care?

Atiku In His Own Words;

Below are what Atiku said with his own mouth and you have the right to query or question or probe him on this, you have your conscience intact, so you be the judge yourself;

 “People say I became rich in government. It’s a lie. I had hundreds of millions of dollars in assets declared in 1999. I was able to personally bankroll the Peoples Democratic Party back then, so surely, I was not poor.” (Atiku responding to the allegations that he enriched himself while in office as Vice President)

“I Go Dye, I’m not a messiah. I do not promise Eldorado or $1 = N1, but I always ask that we should look at the economic progress we made under my leadership and what I am doing in private business and judge me by those.”  (Atiku's response to "I Go Dye", a Nigerian popular Comedian, on why he is qualified and a better candidate to become President of Nigeria)

“As VP, I assembled what is arguably the best economic team ever in Nigeria. It was made up of young, world-class professionals, who came home to work. Some of those professionals are now political leaders, governors and world leaders in their own right." (Atiku's influence on the economic development of Nigeria as the Head of the National Economic Council revealed here)

 “I remember the only corruption indictment against me was a white paper which was cooked up by our own administration overnight to including the very EFCC that I helped found and other cabinet ministers, which I challenged in court. The court rightly dismissed all those indictments as being mere political, and till today nobody has ever indicted me of corruption.” (This was his defense against the indictment cooked up against him by Obasanjo and EFCC which is yet to be proved by EFCC till date in any Court of law)

“For example, between 1999 and 2003, oil prices then were hovering between $16 and $28 yet we managed to pay up salary arrears from decades back, clear up our national debts and build up foreign reserves. Our Gross Domestic Product grew at the fastest rate we’ve seen since the return to democracy.” (Despite decades of military  rule, the Obasanjo/Atiku era brought Nigeria out of the woods based on "working economic policies" Atiku helped set up)

 “I regret that I had that disagreement with my boss. Some say I was disloyal, but I looked at the events in Zimbabwe recently, and it gives me confidence that I did the right thing fighting the attempts to elongate the presidential tenure beyond eight years. If I did not win that fight, do you think we would be having a discussion on young people getting into leadership today?” (His stand on why he had to fight the illegal Third Term ambition of his former boss, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, which would have set a bad precedence for future administrations)

“I went to the World Bank and met a bright lady, convinced her to come back home, and she became a star in our government. To show you we had effective leadership, the same lady could not replicate her exploits under a different government,”  (On his discovery of the one and only Madam Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, former, Minister of Finance)

 “In my home state of Adamawa, for example, I’ve created over 50,000 direct jobs and 250,000 indirect ones. We are the largest private employers of labour in the state, only second to the state government. It’s not a lot, but it does help reduce unemployment. Who do you think are holding those jobs? Yes, young people.” (This is Alhaji Atiku's direct and indirect impacts on employments as an individual)

"What is happening in Nigeria is that as a nation, we are caught up in a modern-day Malthusian Trap. For years, our population has been growing faster than our Gross Domestic Product, bringing us to a point where we have an ever-increasing population competing for resources that are not keeping pace with population growth." (Alhaji Atiku's submission on the state of the Nation under Buhari while making his keynote address at the  Silverbird Man of the year 2017 Awards Night)

"It may sound simplistic, but if Nigeria can assemble a leadership focused on getting us out of this Malthusian Trap by gradually reversing the trend where population growth exceeds GDP growth, many of these challenges we are currently facing will slowly but surely fade away." (Atiku's blueprint for the way out of our current surging populations versus our depleting Gross Domestic Products as a Country)

"This month of February 2018, according to the World Poverty Clock, Nigeria has just overtaken India as the world’s capital of extreme poverty. There are more extremely poor people in Nigeria than there are in India, a country that has six times Nigeria’s population." (Alhaji Atiku affirming the grim situation Nigerians found themselves in under the Buhari-led administration)

"After contracting for five consecutive quarters, Nigeria came out of recession in the second quarter of 2017 with a GDP growth rate of 0.55%. In the third quarter, we fared better with 1.40%. While this looks somewhat like we exited the recession, the reality is that when you factor in our population growth rate of 2.3%, which is one of the highest in the world, have we really exited a recession? Technically, yes, but in reality, it is doubtful." (Atiku's humble but concise statistical analysis of the true picture of our economic status as a Country)

“When people do not have jobs and the means to start a business are beyond their reach, they are incrementally much more likely to engage in criminal behaviours like terrorism, kidnapping, militancy and armed robbery." (Atiku bringing to the open a simple reason why violences have taken over Nigeria landscape)

“According to the African Development Bank, in 2017, 18 African countries grew their Gross Domestic Product above 5%. Nigeria, which was number one in 2014, was not amongst these nations. We must figure out what has happened in the intervening years between 2014 and 2018 and fix what went wrong." (This is the height of gross ineptitude on leadership as His Excellency, Alhaji Atiku, gave an expository revelation on how Nigeria fell from the top just within 3 years of APC's leadership)

“What happened to brilliant initiatives like the YouWIN programme which gave Nigerian youths the training and funding to start their own businesses?” (The One Million Dollar Question His Excellency, Alhaji Atiku is asking this rudderless APC's government)

“Let me say this: The Restructuring that I, Atiku Abubakar, envisions, will see no state receive less money from the federation account than it currently does. I hope that will ease the anxieties of some who oppose restructuring. Restructuring will not cheat you. It will free you." (Alhaji Atiku's stance on restructuring)

“When I was in government, we reduced recurrent expenditure by introducing the monetisation policy and by privatising many government enterprises, especially those that were consuming resources without generating revenue. Those policies have been bastardized today and we have seen a ballooning of our recurrent expenditure and shrinkage of our capital expenditure. We must return to the basics.” (Atiku showing the wrong approach of this APC's government in the area of fiscal policies)

“We have to enact laws to prevent leaders from diverting public funds from the public health sector to the treatment of the elite in the best hospitals abroad. If you can afford it from your own private resources, then pay for it. But do not make the tax payer pay for it." (This is Alhaji Atiku demanding that laws should be made to ensure that our leaders are made to pay for their health related issues anytime they seek medical attention abroad and not from public funds)

“We are in critical times, and as I conclude, I want to urge a paradigm shift in Nigeria. Our elite are treated in Europe. Big Brother Naija is being broadcast from South Africa and Nike is unveiling our FIFA World Cup Jersey in London. Is this the extent to which we have outsourced Nigeria? As far as I am concerned, if it concerns Nigeria, it must be done in Nigeria, not abroad. Not abroad.” (Atiku promoting "Made in Nigeria for Nigerians" ideology)

“According to the African Development Bank, in 2017, 18 African countries grew their Gross Domestic Product above 5%. Nigeria, which was number one in 2014, was not amongst these nations. We must figure out what has happened in the intervening years between 2014 and 2018 and fix what went wrong." (This is the height of gross ineptitude on leadership as His Excellency, Alhaji Atiku, gave an expository revelation on how Nigeria fell from the top just within 3 years of APC's leadership)

“What happened to brilliant initiatives like the YouWIN programme which gave Nigerian youths the training and funding to start their own businesses?” (The One Million Dollar Question His Excellency, Alhaji Atiku is asking this rudderless APC's government)

“Let me say this: The Restructuring that I, Atiku Abubakar, envisions, will see no state receive less money from the federation account than it currently does. I hope that will ease the anxieties of some who oppose restructuring. Restructuring will not cheat you. It will free you." (Alhaji Atiku's stance on restructuring)

“When I was in government, we reduced recurrent expenditure by introducing the monetisation policy and by privatising many government enterprises, especially those that were consuming resources without generating revenue. Those policies have been bastardized today and we have seen a ballooning of our recurrent expenditure and shrinkage of our capital expenditure. We must return to the basics.” (Atiku showing the wrong approach of this APC's government in the area of fiscal policies)

“We have to enact laws to prevent leaders from diverting public funds from the public health sector to the treatment of the elite in the best hospitals abroad. If you can afford it from your own private resources, then pay for it. But do not make the tax payer pay for it." (This is Alhaji Atiku demanding that laws should be made to ensure that our leaders are made to pay for their health related issues anytime they seek medical attention abroad and not from public funds)

“We are in critical times, and as I conclude, I want to urge a paradigm shift in Nigeria. Our elite are treated in Europe. Big Brother Naija is being broadcast from South Africa and Nike is unveiling our FIFA World Cup Jersey in London. Is this the extent to which we have outsourced Nigeria? As far as I am concerned, if it concerns Nigeria, it must be done in Nigeria, not abroad. Not abroad.” (Atiku promoting "Made in Nigeria for Nigerians" ideology)

All What Atiku Is Saying Is, "Judge Me On My Track Records In Political And Business Careers And Not On Innuendoes"

Inec is evil and this is why 2019 could be bloody should INEC try anything funny!

[color=deeppink]And missed it here Condoning the terriost group fulani herdsmens killing spree saying:

“It is environmental challenge caused by climate change. The occupational practice of pastoralists and even the fishermen are threatened.

“The water resources and grasses are not available and the pastoralists are forced to move toward the South.

“In Kebbi, the predominant prisoners in custody are the Fulanis; they are prone to crime because of lack of Education.

“On the other hand, they are also victims of cattle rustlers who attack them and take away their animals.”

I hope u folks dont mess up and elect another buhari in this man [/color]

I am too sure you are one of the folks that took Atiku's submission on the Fulani Hersdmen totally out of context so I can relate to your confusion. Panic no more, Atiku is a detrabilized Nigerian you and I know unlike Buhari and I am too sure that he will never condone this nonsense from these Fulani Herdsmen. He is only against labeling an entire tribe as terrorist but did not support the bad eggs in there.

Atiku nailed it for me here;

However, addressing the gathering in Port Harcourt, Atiku, who was vice president between 1999 and 2007 on the platform of the PDP, said he was on a mission to put Nigeria on the path of growth and set if free from the path of “serial failure” for President while addressing PDP stakeholders at the party’s secretariat, Atiku noted that he is offering himself to set the country on the path of growth. The former Vice President stated that since 2015, the APC-led Federal Government has destroyed the education, health and infrastructural sectors through poor budgetary allocations and releases. Atiku said, “Since  2015, we have not seen a 100kilometres constructed by the APC Federal Government anywhere in the country.”

2019: Obasanjo is Atiku’s only problem – ObulePublished on April 3, 2018 By Matthew Omonigho

Delta Central Senatorial hopeful, Chief Ufuoma Charles Obule, today stated that former President, Olusegun Obasanjo is the only problem to the presidential ambition of former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

Obule made the assertion in Effurun,Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State.


Obule who was a special guest at the inauguration/unveiling of the Delta State Chapter Secretariat of Street2Street Support Initiative 4Atiku2019 said,”Obasanjo is the only problem of Atiku. He is just the only problem but we won’t let him continue like that.

“We will stop him at this time. Obasanjo must leave us alone. We must take our destiny in our own hands.

Obule who is the Erhi of Okpe Kingdom said,”Our leaders and our elders have failed.”

Obule stated that the youths will not allow themselves to be railroaded into Obasanjo’s line.


In his words,”We will say no to Obasanjo and his likes.”

This, many of us knew already. I mean an unrepentant terrorist cell as terrible as Boko Haram granted Amnesty by a government that has lost huge figures of her citizens to them? This is madness of the highest order and gross ineptitude in the place of leadership.

yarimo:
the same ATIKU that contribute to the situation where nigeria and nigerians is today, OLADIMEJI the thunder that will fire your mouth for saying this nonsense just left GAMBIA.

I think with the nuisance you constitute on every Atiku's thread with your little knowledge may force that Thunder to locate you

kimjongJezebel:
Fabiyi my boss, I sight you!

Atiku has a very big chance because he's a nationalist, moderate, not a bigot, liberal and runs prosperous businesses. He's a great manager of resources and has friends all over the country. I only hope Nigerians can give him the chance because Atiku will make Nigeria great

Guess what sister, flesh and blood hath not reveal this to you. You are good.

fkpboy:
I see Tunde Bakare at the background...

Too shameful and he is even baring his teeth right there when there is a lot to worry about in this Country under Buhari

It is a question of time before we all realise the importance of Atiku to the polity, this I am too sure about! Atiku remains the only detrabilized Northerner that can take power from the megalomaniac Buhari and deliver.
