deji17:
FACT CHECK: Did Atiku hire US lobbyists to get him recognised as president or was the story fabricated?

By 'Kunle ADEBAJO On Apr 11, 2019

ON Tuesday, the Centre for Responsive Politics, a nonprofit research group based in Washington DC, reported that presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, is lobbying the United States to recognise him as Nigeria’s “authentic president”.

Basing its report on FARA (Foreign Agents Registration Act) filings, the Centre said Bruce Fein and his firm Fein & DelValle PLLC registered as foreign agents on Abubakar’s behalf to provide legal, consultancy, and public advocacy services over a 90-day period for $30,000.

“In the contract, Fein’s firm is explicit in promising to ‘obtain official recognition that you are the authentic President of Nigeria based on an accurate counting of legal ballots.’ The goal of the effort is straightforwardly described as ‘to convince the United States that your presidency would open a fresh and new chapter in Nigerian politics,'” it stated.

The following day, the Centre’s findings were shared by various local news agencies, including TheCable and Sahara Reporters.

Atiku’s swift dismissal
Reacting on Wednesday, Atiku through his spokesman, Paul Ibe, denied the reports and described them as “total fabrication” and “fake news” by the All Progressives Congress, which it alleged to have lying as its “only bragging rights of competence.”

“Since Atiku resisted pressure not to go to court, the APC has been behaving like a cat on hot bricks because the outcome of the 2019 elections has exposed and shattered the facade of their dubious integrity,” Ibe said in the statement. “The APC are behaving nervously like a thief living under the fear of being exposed and shamed; they are now using fake news against Atiku instead of focusing on defending themselves in the court.”

He added: “For a party that has broken the worst record in election rigging, the APC doesn’t have any iota of integrity to be taken seriously by anybody. Atiku’s court case has become their biggest burden because it exposes their integrity as a sham, and instead of defending their stolen mandate in court, they are now using fake news to divert public attention from the historic electoral heist they have committed against Nigerians.

“No amount of diversionary propaganda and fake news campaign by APC will stop Atiku Abubakar from continuing the court action he started to reclaim the stolen mandate.”

Our findings
The United States, in 1938, passed a law known as the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). FARA requires agents representing foreign principals in a “political or quasi-political capacity” to disclose the nature and details of their contract with the other party.


Some of Atiku Abubakar’s contracts with US organisations. Source: fara.gov
All disclosures made are uploaded onto an online database by the US Department of Justice and made accessible to the public. On April 2, Fein & DelValle PLLC, Washington DC-based law firm, registered an active contract it has with “Atiku Abubakar and the People’s Democratic Party of Nigeria”, with registration number 6654.

In the part of the registration form requiring the nature and method of executing the agreement, Fein & DelValle stated that it will be providing “legal, consultancy and public advocacy services to encourage Congress and the President to forebear from final declaration and recognition of a winner of Nigeria’s February 23, 2019 presidential ejection until outstanding legal challenges to the initial Government of Nigeria assertion that incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari was the victor are impartially and independently resolved by the Supreme Court of Nigeria without political or military influence, intimidation, or manipulation; and, engage in public advocacy to applaud all candidates in the presidential election who are supporting and following the rule of law in resolving the outstanding electoral disputes.”

The law firm, according to the agreement, is expected to consult with Congress members towards passing House and Senate resolutions to restrain from a final recognition of a winner pending a fair determination of the legal issues, draft articles and op-eds “to spotlight the issues in Nigeria post-2019 presidential election and to promote the rule of law and due process in resolving electoral disputes in Nigeria”, and then “make television and other media appearances to engage in public advocacy discussions of these issues”.

It also attached a letter written to Atiku on March 20, where it said the terms of the contract include its representation of the PDP candidate “in the United States and in international forums to obtain official recognition that you are the authentic President of Nigeria based on an accurate counting of legal ballots cast on February 23, 2019.”




Fein & DelVille agreed to help Atiku secure recognition as the authentic President of Nigeria.
Asides this agreement, The ICIR also discovered an earlier contract between Atiku and John Barnett registered in February where the presidential candidate offered to pay the lobbyist $150,000 to facilitate a trip to Washington DC, the US capital.

Our verdict
Atiku Abubakar’s claim that the report about his contract with the US firm is a “total fabrication” is false.

Information on the US Justice Department’s FARA portal establish that such contract exists, where Atiku is seeking to be acknowledged abroad as “the authentic President of Nigeria” based on PDP’s grounds for challenging the declared results.

We brought our findings to the attention of Ibe on Thursday but the call was abruptly ended and another call placed to him immediately after was not answered. A text seeking to confirm whether the PDP has seen documents from the US government contradicting its press statement has also not been replied.

no trading is without such bros and besides bitcoin has nature of retracing after a few rise like other currency traded. The basis of me creating this thread is that it rose from $3k to $5k which shows it has potential to go more when it stayed at $3k for several months or a year sef.

I will quote you when it hits $6k soon.

I just learnt a good lesson from you today. Your head is very correct.

Aside coins, how can I keep up to date with upcoming trends? When I was younger, we laughed at people who were into programming and development, many years later, they are FAR far richer and gainfully employed than me, per se.
you can still learn programming if you have clear head....

I was on quora when a lady shared her pitiful story and still managed to learn coding at over 40 years of age so that she could feed...

For popular trend, I don't know what category you are talking about.

Hedonini:
Very good point.

By the way for someone like me who gets confused by the multitude of coins available in the crypto space, is it a good, safe idea to simply stick to bitcoin alone and accumulate as much as I can, with a long term view?
in situations like this, you have to depend on history., the historical data of past performance should guide you. Bitcoin, Ethereum are a good start.

The goal is to ride the trend and pull out when it gets crowded. How do you know when to pull out? When every tom, dlck and Harry start talking about it.

Here is why, around the time I read the story of how Buffet exited the market before it crashed, I was at Nnewi to see a brother, I just gained admission then and was still young.

While at his office (he was into stock trading and buying of stocks for people), an Okada rider walked in and wanted to buy stock/shares. At that point, my mind flashed back to what I had read about Buffet. I read it in the book "Rich Dad's Guide to Investment.

I smiled.

It wasn't long afterward that we had a global recession... This was in 2008.

My bros changed his line thereafter, I guess for sake of people asking for their money. He sold his car and hasn't found it easy ever since.

History always repeat itself.

Some of us never took up jobs cos we saw there was none. What do you people even describe as a job sef?

You are seeking for a job why my friend is complaining to me every now and then...

The best way I know to get a job is to create one for myself. You have 50k? Have you thought of offering a service that people hate to do but the pay is okay?


If you can spend some time at the business section,i believe you will get some idea.

Though these days I rarely tell people to hustle on their own cos I realise that not everyone is built to be a hustler but if no job comes your way, bro, buckle up and roll up your sleeve and get dirty.

We have a duty to contribute to the world by solving problems of the world and we will be highly rewarded for doing that. When God said go into the world and multiply, he didn't only mean go and start having babies. He meant go and improve the world beyond what I had made it.

This is why countries who adhere to that wise saying are prosperous because they are solving problems.

Ever since December 2017 IVST has not increase its record breaking mark of 17th December 2017 at $19,700 and 15th Dec. $17,900 - Home boys lost millions hopping on the band wagon just a few days before.. It was like a curse, yet 2 years later and you celebrating a shaky 1.8m? Na wah 4 u o, That's Mediocre!

Besides, lalasticlala I think this deserves FP for people to learn matters that touch the heart.
before the great depression,
Warren Buffet was shinning his shoe and the shoe shiner brought out a paper, showing him the next best stock to buy.


After he left he thought that if a shoe shiner could be into stock, then the market is already too saturated, he knew it was time to exit the market and on that day, he sold all his stocks.

Few weeks later the market crashed.

Shhhh... Contrarians are rarely defeated. Never follow popular trend. Get in when everyone is out and get out when everyone is in. That is the rule....

When I really want to double my money, I don't do what majority do.

Yeah, lalasticlala should put this on front page.

They caught 5 robbers the other day, you Igbos were quick to defend them. They caught 2 drug criminals now, you're talking nonsense. Are you cursed to always defend criminality?

It is because Igbos like you hate telling yourselves the truth, that's why Igboland has become what it is today.
must be insane. I didnt even see your mention. I will set up a blog and start fabricating lies against yorubas and let's see how it will make you feel. Are there no criminals in SW? All I asked for is prove that it actually happened rather than fabrications from thin air. But do not worry, I will set up a blog and start doing same since you all are stupid.

Hello all, I have read much about frustration and
people doing the unthinkable and here am I in
almost the same situation. I am jobless and really
need a job to keep me busy, up and doing. I am a
graduate of history and international studies,
finished with a 2.1 and really bright. I am highly
proficient in the use of all Microsoft office tools. I
believe someone here would be of help to me, pls
help a brother, son and an economically depressed
soul. I am highly productive and can deliver
qualitatively. I have sent out cvs but I just am not
getting any invite. Someone please help with a job!
I am based in Lagos but can relocate for job
purpose.
HR and well meaning Nigerians please assist
Good morning, I'm still posting as I still believe in
someone here helping, pleaaaase affect a life today.
I understand your plight and I do know it can be depressing, especially when your friends are moving forward. Have you tried starting from your environment, like taking up a teaching job for start? If you can acquire more skills like web development where you can learn to code it will boost your potential by over over 1000%. I.T is the future bro.

Here are some resources for you:

FreeCodeCamp.org
W3Schools.com
CodeAcademy.

If you religiously follow this and dig deeper, you will not be searching for jobs with too much sweat. I have a friend I gave this advice years ago when we were in school. He is like a younger brother to me. After spending 1-2 years learning to code, he took up a freelancing jobs at Fiverr.com and was paid $750 for his first work. Amazing right? Well, that is just his first pay and the good part is that it is an on going contract. which means for a period of time, he will be receive more. I think he has another one at $2000. How many Nigerian coy can pay you that figure for a start?

Take my advice, learn to code today... cool
