When has the United States become "AnteNatal Clinic" to attend before becoming the president of your country?


Did Buhari go to America prior to 2015 election?



Americans are not Nigerians to decide for Nigeria. Nigerians will decide for Nigeria who will preside over her.


If Atiku truly has a case to answer, why hasn't the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation(F.B.I) collaborated with the Interpol in Nigeria and the EFFC in arresting and extraditing him to where he has the case to answer? Isn't that not how it should be done?

The man is as free as a bird. If the U.S won't grant him a visa due to their allegation of embezzlement or fraud, then Russia or China will grant him and discuss bilateral relations with him when he oust the incumbent president.

From your comment you said It is not necessary for Atiku to go to America.... My question is then why is Obi going there if truly it is not necessary?

I’m sure this Albino Twitter Senator did not have anybody in his family or circle of friends to advice me to stop making unfounded allegations in public...

MC Oluomo got stabbed?... Please tell me something else....

Hello everyone,

I use a Honda 2006 model. I’ve been having this constant issues with car overheating when I switch on the AC. However, it is every important to note that I’ve done everything possible to to rectify this anomaly. Basically, all necessary cooling stuffs are working. The fan is working perfect (2 fans), I’ve had the radiator washed out (which is a double cell radiator).. But the car overheats while the Ac is On still. It sometimes goes off while in motion.. I’ve to switch off the AC and after a minute or two, car picks off.

Highlight

1) Car overheating inspites having the fan working perfect, double cell radiator watched out recently, and as well as radiator coolant. It’s important to note that the fan Belt is working perfect.

2) When the AC is on, if the car doesn’t overheat in motion, it sometimes goes off abruptly. Until I switch off the AC and wait for few minutes before it picks up.

I’ve spent lot of money on trial and error mechanics but not sure what the exact cause might be. I’m considering changing the Fuel pump but I don’t wanna waste money since the exact cause isn’t identified yet.

Kindly help cause the weather is hot and need 24/7 AC while driving. Thanks in advance...

You can also recommend a very good auto clinic here in Ibadan.

You get the Car Scanned.. Then you will know the exact culprit...

.
Pls tell me when and how Igbos are anyway at all form or enjoy alliance wit d north

Go and read about the Alliance between Zik and Ahmadu Bello during the first republic even when an agreement has been reached with the AG of the SW to form a government but Zik left the SW delegates in Asaba and went to Kaduna to sign an accord with the Northerners.... Please do little research

There is Atiku’s Picture in front of the Buses... But you will hardly notice it when the Bus pass you by... Saw one at Garrison roundabout yesterday and had to come down from my Car to check very well.... Atiku is not going to find it easy in the SS/SE even though He will win the region, but the Governors are not happy with Him..

Xander85:
I've said it, that a huge part of our problem as Igbos is our 'one Nigeria' elite that are always quick to throw their own under the bus just to please their Fulani masters!

You actually think that these Fulani would have spent one second longer than necessary in Nigeria if they had been treated the way Ndigbo have been since the late 60s? They'd have hightailed it out of here and threatened you with dagger if you held their arm to prevent them from leaving!

When the Igbos we’re enjoying the alliance of the North in the 60s, by even forming the alliance with north against the West nothing was wrong back then, Their leaders were preaching One Nigeria.... But once they’re schemed out of things they remember that they’re been treated badly by their once good Allies.... You can’t eatvyou cake and have it....

Swagaholic01:
they're both in the buses... the buses have Atiku, Obi, Wike and banigo

You’re right.... I saw one today at Garrison Roundabout....

PointZerom:
I am not expecting a brain dead Buhari to attend a political debate where sensible questions will be asked.

I am only crying for educated fools that have allowed old men like Buhari and Atiku to continue deceiving them.

It's a case of 2 Devils...

PointZerom:
You're still crying......sorry.

Your crying and wailing will start on the day of the Debate when PMB will not attend... And you cry more after he is declare the Winner of the Election.......

PointZerom:
The organisers said that all candidates must come in person.

Stop looking for Excuses.... It's not a must all the Candidates attend the Debate, But it will give them all the Opportunity to sell themselves to the electorate.....
Same way Atiku would have use the American town hall meeting to gain millions of voters

I know it is not only Honda...... I've seen Several 2001 Toyota 4Runners with this issues, Last Week I saw Almighty Mercedes on the East West road at Ahaoda... I think it's the negligent on the side of the owners

PointZerom:
It is none of your business. Atiku has the right to appoint who represents him in a meeting.


Stupidity is when you're fighting corruption but cannot arrest and prosecute "corrupt" Atiku.

Same way it won't be an issue when Buhari send someone to represent Him at any Debate.

Bro always selling the best....I hope I can get something like this in May/June... When I’m ready....

In this report, FRIDAY OLOKOR analyses the recent election debate by the vice-presidential candidates of five political parties for the 2019 general elections and the danger of the candidates making unverifiable claims

The debate organised by the Nigeria Elections Debate Group and the Broadcasting Organisation of Nigeria for vice-presidential candidates of political parties might have come and gone; its echoes still reverberate within the nation’s political space and it will likely serve as a reference material for the January 2019 presidential debate.

Those who participated in the debate are Vice President Yemi Osinbajo of the All Progressives Congress; Peter Obi of the Peoples Democratic Party; Gani Galadima of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria; Hajiya Umma Getso of the Young Progressives Party, and Khadijah Abdullahi-Iya of the Alliance for New Nigeria.

While people have continued to criticise the exclusion of scores of other political parties from the debate in which only five out of over 70 parties participated, the main issue about the debate has been the reported spurious claims made by some of the speakers.

Many analysts of the debate have faulted some of the figures they reeled out to buttress their arguments while speaking on their parties’ blueprints for economic development and agenda to improve Nigeria.

Their comments have thus elicited flaks from Nigerians, especially among the intelligentsia and leading bureaucrats.

A legal practitioner and former National Secretary of Labour Party, Dr Kayode Ajulo, demanded an investigation into the figures bandied by the speakers.

While faulting some claims made by some candidates at the debate, he urged the organisers to make public false allegations made in order not to deceive Nigerians.

One of the vice-presidential candidates was said to have claimed in two instances that Turkey and Indonesia were members of BRICS nations. Yet, no one at the forum was able to correct this, while the audience kept clapping.

Ajulo said, “The vice-presidential candidates during the debate made several claims that ought to be pointed out in order not to mislead viewers. The acronym BRICS stands for Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. One candidate submitted that Iran and Afghanistan are two countries with terror incidents above Nigeria. This is also wrong; not to mention the fake statistics that Nigeria has a meagre two million vehicles which is utterly wrong.

“As of 2017, the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics reported 12 million cars in Nigeria. Does it mean that 10 million of those cars got bombed by Boko Haram or probably got condemned in accidents within or after one year?”

Another legal practitioner and President of the Committee for the Defence of Human Rights, Malachy Ugwummadu, said, “Considering that the debate was a major contact point with the candidates, it was a major disservice by the speakers to give inaccurate information and data to Nigerians.”

To some critics, while Obi came with facts and figures, Osibanjo came with blame and complaints. Others argued that Osinbajo dropped figures from the World Bank to drive home his points while Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, dropped several figures without backing them up with sources.

The President of Nigeria Voters Assembly, Mashood Erubami, said although the debate was necessary to guide genuine voters to know which party to vote for, the right party could not be singled out based on the presentations made by the candidates.

According to him, most claims made by the speakers could not be verified, including using unsubstantiated data and foreign-owned statistics either from UNICEF, European Union or World Bank when no new survey was carried out.

Erubami, in an interview with SUNDAY PUNCH, said, “Nigerians are already used to claims that we are one out of every five Africans (unconfirmed)…Nigerian population is above 180 million or above 200 million without mentioning the specific census the figure was derived from. Who says we are not more than that?”

To him, Obi “sized up other vice-presidential candidates apart from Osinbajo who was quoting official figures, before he started using his unconfirmed figures to bamboozle participants at the debate, most of whom were clapping in ignorance.”

While describing the economic statistics quoted by Obi as incorrect, especially if checked against the realities of the Nigerian economy, Erubami also faulted the claim that fuel subsidy was a scam.

The National Publicity Secretary of Afenifere, a pan-Yoruba sociology-political organisation, Yinka Odumakin, also affirmed that some of the claims made by speakers during the debate were false.

In an interview with SUNDAY PUNCH, Odumakin challenged the media to dig out the inaccuracies in the statistics reeled out at the debate.

“The media have a critical role in digging into issues like this so that the public is well informed. Our children should be able to quote data supplied by leading politicians. “The issue of some gaps about some figures given by Obi may be permissible in statistics where ‘about’ and ‘around’ are tenable. But outright lies about figures by Vice President Osinbajo are indefensible. Our politicians must be honest with facts and figures,” he advised.

But in his reaction, a legal practitioner and human rights activist, Ebun-olu Adegboruwa, analysed the debate from the economic statements made by the PDP and the APC vice-presidential candidates and gave them a pass mark.

He was particularly enthralled by Obi’s comment that “You don’t need to shut down your shop in order to chase a thief” and Osinbajo’s reply that “You cannot leave your economy to looters or else there will be no shop at all.” Olu-Adegboruwa said the valid statements aptly summarised the true state of the Nigerian situation, from which all Nigerian leaders should draw some valuable lessons.

He said, “Peter Obi is a million times correct that a war against corruption needs not lead to the poverty of the people. America, Britain, Germany and others are fighting corruption, but not at the expense of economic growth. Take it or leave it, the war against corruption of this present administration has virtually crippled our economy.”

According to the civil rights activist, genuine investors and manufacturers have been scared stiff as all it takes is just for an opponent or competitor to rub citizens “with the tar of corruption and you’re finished.”

Adegboruwa said, “Let the government go back to the drawing board, fine-tune and re-strategise in this area. Nigerians love the administration of Muhammadu Buhari for its stance against corruption. Nigerians love Muhammadu Buhari and Yemi Osinbajo for their unblemished character and sterling leadership qualities, but they need to work on the economy.” He said Osinbajo was also “correct and ten million times that no economy can flourish in the hands of looters.”

He added, “No matter the level of prosperity of a nation, if the leadership cannot face corruption squarely and tackle it, whatever gains the economy may record will be frittered away by the wicked kleptomaniacs.”

Ugwummadu believed the debate was “a positive development in that the electorate, who are the employers of public state actors, must be given sufficient knowledge and information about the applicants seeking to occupy the exalted offices.”

Ugwummadu’s problem with the debate was that “it wasn’t a comprehensive engagement because whereas we have 91 political parties presently, we didn’t have up to a quarter of that number assuming, as always, that not all the political parties are going to field presidential candidates.”

This, he said, remained a serious omission because the Nigerian people truly deserved to be introduced to the alternatives that were available, other than the existing and traditional contestants.

“Secondly, it’s a gross violation of the fundamental rights and discrimination against those who were excluded from the exercise under Section 42 of the 1999 Constitution and it can be challenged,” the CDHR president said.

With the criticisms, analysts expressed the hope that in future debates, speakers would be more mature and accurate with facts and figures.

Although they noted that election debates in Nigeria might not substantially influence or affect election results, only through sound engagements that credibility would be entrenched in the nation’s dealings including in the polity.

SalamRushdie:
yes the incident from was used in 2015 and Buhari seems to be the greatest beneficiary because 75 percent of his votes in the not were based on incident forms

Sit down and Think.. How come the PDP Federal Government back in 2015 did not remove Incident form from our Electoral act when they were in power?... They benefited from the use of Incident form all the time.... And please show us your proof that All those that used Incident Forms voted for PMB alone....
It's a shame that now that they're about to get served with the same plate, you people are crying foul...... Rivers,Enugu,Delta,Akwa-Ibom all recorded 99% votes in 2015 and those states were won by PDP but to you nothing is wrong there..... In Rivers Gubernatorial election it is on record that less than 400,000 voters were captured with card readers but PDP won with 1.2 million Votes, Was it not Incident Form they used?

750... Anything to Fix?

Incident form that was used in 2015... During all the Re-run elections.... Why can’t the NASS amend the electoral act immediately after the 2015 Elections..... And make Card Reader a lawful part of our electoral process? It’s a shame that PDP is scared of getting served the same food they’ve been serving Us... We still remember how river produced 1.4million votes for PDP....
