Congratulations sir.


Presidebt Buhari should swallow his pride and beg Idriss Deby to teach him how to tackle insurgency.

Nigerian leaders are the problems of this country. One way or the other he will have make a vow to them in return for supporting him. I weep for this country.

Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has launched an online television that will henceforth propagate his social and political activities.

The event took place at the Five Star Bristol Palace Hotel, Kano, where a video clip showed the former vice president speaking on his vision and aspiration.

Atiku was represented at the occasion by one of his sons and political allies, particularly PDP members.

The Atiku TV was launched by Hajiya Baraka Sani, a former Kano State Commissioner for Agriculture and Special Adviser to former president Goodluck Jonathan.

Baraka Sani said the ‘Atiku TV’ is a new approach that will change Atiku’s mode of reaching out to people from analogue to digital, henceforth.

She explained that the contents (about Atiku) for the television will be developed in YouTubes and circulated on the cyberspace, via WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other platforms of the new media.

Four-term Senator representing Kano North, Sen. Bello Hayatu Gwarzo, said a lot of politicians will soon begin to copy Atiku’s style.

“In developed countries, people sit in their homes and watch campaign plans of candidates on the television; you must not carry hundreds of vehicles and begin to move from one village to another, and from house to house.

“The digital campaign sets the records of your campaign promises straight, so that people can hold you responsible when you fail to deliver on your promises.

“Most Nigerian politicians go to elective office empty headed, that is why you hear of several blames when things fail to work as expected,” Gwarzo said.

Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to Atiku on Youths and Strategy, Dr. Ahmed Adamu, said: “Today, everything is online. The voting population is also moving online. So, if you are a politician, candidate or public figure with a vision or anything you want to share or sell, the best platform to reach out to the people is the digital space.

He added: “We have over 130 million Nigerians on the internet, which is more than the votes required to win the presidency of Nigeria. And Atiku has a great vision for Nigeria. What he might lack is reaching out to the people, to really understand his vision. So, Atiku Tv is a channel to educate Nigerians about his vision.

“Atiku has set the bar high as a credible candidate with great vision no other candidate ever had. The bar he has raised is so high that any other candidate that is coming must try to be like him or to do more than he does. And that is the kind of president we need in Nigeria, because leadership is about vision.

“We may not believe in a leader’s vision but the leader believes in his, while leading people when he gets to power. Atiku TV is therefore, a channel to broadcast, share and educate the people about Atiku Abubakar, his personality and vision. Many people know Atiku only as a politician; they know less about his vision,” he said.

Adamu, who denied that the Atiku TV was launched with an eye on 2023 presidential election, however, stressed that Atiku, may contest, if the security and economic challenges of the country persist.

“We are not promoting Atiku’s presidential ambition, because it is not yet time, and Atiku is not desperate for a political position. He is concerned about Nigeria and its future.

“But the problems that Atiku saw in the past are still unsolved. And if Nigeria has not reached the level of prosperity it desires, he will not rest. He was lucky to attain education and positions, but what about others who are not privileged? Atiku is doing it for the underprivileged, especially the youth.

“So, as long as security and economic challenges keep persisting, I think Atiku will be willing to throw his cap into the ring once again to savage the situation in the country,” Adamu said.

All because of POWER?

“Some said it was cardiac arrest but only his doctors can conform what went wrong. ”

An in-law to Buhari, the deceased would be buried on Tuesday.

Among early callers to his residence was a former Managing Director of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Mallam Wada Maida.

Until his death, he was one of the most influential politicians and businessmen in Nigeria.

He had in the early 1980s established The Democrats, an all-colour newspaper which became authoritative on political matters.
His construction firm, Bulet, became a household after constructing the magnificent Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation.
He recently clarified he was not seeking to be Chief of Staff to Buhari or contest the Presidency in 2023.
Although prayers were being offered for repose of his soul at Shagari Mosque in Area 1 part of Abuja, The Nation was reliably informed he would be buried by 1pm on Tuesday.

Sarrki, I cannot believe you honestly proffer the above question? NDDC and Niger Delta craps are political machinations only seen in shithole such as Nigeria. Why not the Food Belt Development Commission (FBDC)? Besides, agricultural produce is the highest earner of Nigerian foreign income. Unfortunately, the exchange from the agricultural sector is not as handy as the one from crude oil sector. Idiotic Nigerians will defend a goon as long as he/she brings constant flow of cash. There is absolutely nothing humanitarian about the deceitful NDDC or idiotic ministry of Niger Delta. The mentions are con jobs setup by the heartless leaders in the zoo called Nigeria. I say do away with the junk called Nigeria, a creation of deluded colonialists.

Nobody failed anybody in this circumstances. The scenery is what it has been since the place remains a creek after all. This is the place where peoples' houses are smacked in the water. The only method to go from a house to another house is canoe. There food vans in developed countries. [b]There is not wrong to have food canoe in the creek if the woman enjoys what shew does and given enough fund to elevate the canoe into motor powered and with nice enclosure. [/b]I went to Yenagoa, Rivers State in late 70s and the scene in the picture reminded the situation then. By the way, I flew in helicopter and rode in a power boat.

Buhari failed This woman

All the thing you complained about happened only because you have no government in the first place.

Thousands of lecturers gets away with sexual harassment to the extent that it's now an unwritten law for girls to pass. The government is careless about the girls.

The pastor is paying the driver N20k only because your government chose policies that impoverished the people and killed industrialization by killing infrastructure development. The driver can only accept the N20k or starve.

The trader who removes two bowls does so because SON died a long time ago. Nobody is a grain of punishment because even the police takes bribes openly in front of the rice seller and the government never frowns against it. What goes around comes around.

The civil servant who comes to work only once in the week b is doing so because his boss the commissioner or the minister is in a hotel in Abuja or London sampling babes with government money. No fears of anything because they are all guilty.

The students can spend the whole week partying because he can settle the lecturer and pass while the government is completely careless as they are deep in sleaze on their own.

How can the motor owner join a simple queue when he can settle police , road safety, VIO, and even if buharri comes out to stand on the road, you can settle him with N50 naira only and nothing happens

Wetin concern doctor who are poorly paid, his hospital equipment in government hospital is routinely looted, salaries of nurses seized and zero job security.

The stream got soiled from the source.
