PoliticsBuhari’s Wrong Stance On Restructuring by shamaki1(op): 7:15am On Nov 23, 2018
Inflexible as ever, President Muhammadu Buhari recently knocked advocates of a fundamental restructuring of the country as “ lazy” people who could not define the term. Rather than use the opportunity of his meeting with the Nigerian community in France to lay out a vision for a country in urgent need of direction , he relapsed into his usual defence of a subsisting, restrictive system that, by universal consensus , is anomalous. But he is wrong on all counts : much rigour and critical thinking have gone into the campaign , just as the basics of restructuring have been well laid out .
Buhari had said in France : “ There are too many people talking lazily about restructuring in Nigeria. Unfortunately , people are not asking them individually what they mean by restructuring . What form do they want restructuring to take? Do they want us to have the three regions we used to have? And now we have 36 states and the FCT . What form do they want ? They are just talking loosely about restructuring . Let them define it and then we see how we can peacefully do it in the interest of Nigerians.”
He’s wrong . Outside of those who are hard of hearing and the beneficiaries of the current scheme, there is actually no controversy over what restructuring is: yes, there are diverse suggestions as to geographical format , but the basics of federalism are well established globally.
Pioneer advocates of restructuring are definitely not lazy. Apart from books , lectures and presentations based on rigorous research, the late Obafemi Awolowo, his associates and admirers have devoted energy to articulating the elements of federalism. The late nationalist , Anthony Enahoro , even in his eighties, through his PRONACO initiative , assembled activists and representatives of Nigeria ’s diverse nationalities to proffer suggestions on the shape of federalism in this country . Nigeria ’s brightest and best , have laboured to point out the self -defeatist nature of today’s system that accords so much power to the centre and impoverishes the 36 states .
While Buhari was sounding off in Paris , Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo was laying out the minimum conditions for true federalism – state policing , fiscal autonomy and resource control . Seven of the world’ s largest countries by size are federal; others with diversity in nationality and culture such as Ethiopia , Malaysia , Switzerland and Belgium also operate federalism . Even in populations with a large measure of cultural homogeneity like the Germans of Germany and Austria and, to some extent, the USA , Canada and Australia, federalism has been found to be best suited for them.
The principles of federalism were also recognised and forcefully argued at the series of pre -independence conferences by the late premier of the defunct Northern Region , Ahmadu Bello , and his colleagues like the late Aminu Kano, Ibrahim Imam and Tafawa Balewa, the first federal prime minster. They, like today’s advocates , were neither lazy nor talked “ loosely .”
Indeed , advocates of restructuring should continue to press for it to ensure Nigeria’ s corporate survival. It should be a major campaign issue in this electoral season. Unlike in the past, when deceitful politicians made promises only to renege once in power , the electorate should demand detailed , firm promises , plans and timelines on restructuring from all parties and candidates seeking elective offices.

PoliticsIn 2 Years, 50 Million Nigerians Will Be Out Of Poverty - Atiku by shamaki1(op): 11:31pm On Nov 19, 2018
[/b][b] Alhaji Atiku Abubakar declares that he will pull at least 50 million Nigerians from poverty in two years if elected president
Atiku says he would kick-off sound economic policies to help him achieve the goal
- Broken down, it means the former vice president will create about 2.5 million jobs annually Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Monday, November 19, said he has a plan to kick-off sound economic policies that would help to pull at least 50 million Nigerians out of poverty within two years. Atiku, a former vice president of Nigeria and currently seeking to govern the country in 2019, said the policies would ensure the creation of job opportunities for the population. “These investments will create a minimum of 2.5 million jobs annually and lift at least 50 million people from poverty in the first two years,” Atiku said as reported by Premium Times. He reportedly said the effect of such a policy would help to double Nigeria’s GDP to N900 billion by 2025. According to Atiku, the 2.5 million jobs he planned to create would help partly resolve the issue of insecurity.

fiizznation:
Atiku is very corrupt. Dude looted $16billion together with obasanjo his former boss. Atiku singlehandedly destroyed Nitel, he embezzled custom money when he was the boss. The American government indicted his stealing ass because Atiku was also involved in the Halliburton crime.

Mr Atiku's lootocracy has crossed into every continent of this earth. And some people want Nigerians to vote for a corrupt criminal like Atiku. Never again!!!

They say the devil you know is better than the angel you dont know. What is atiku looking for in asorock? An incompetent Buhari is a million times better than a corrupt atiku. Atikulation my foot!!! More like "a thief circulation"

And that feminine peter obi didn't help any matter. Rather he made everything worse. Anyway we will see how a corrupt man with his silly running mate will enter asorock. It will never ever ever happen.



Lol we are just waiting for proper election campaign to start and atiku will forever regret why pdp nominated his stealing ass to be their flag bearer
