Great2017:

Yet they accepted Ganduje and Oshiomhole, the "dollar compressors" into their leadership. Try telling another lie about the APC being clever. This one did not fly.

You just wait till after APC wins next year, then you will know how clever APC elders have been.

SouthEastFacts:

Zonbiesm is not a disease but a curse. Atiku was APC's BOT Chairman until Nov, 2017 when he resigned.

Shallow response.

When I said "leadership" I meant leadership with real power, not a figurehead BOT chaiman! The power a "BOT chaiman" wields is only as real as the other board members allow him. Corrupt Atiku realised he was a figurehead, hence his exit from the APC. Perhaps you didn't see the word "cleverly" qualifying "excluded."

Read carefully next time before you post any more nonsense.

Kindest regards.

Of cooourse! He was corrupt then; he is corrupt now. You see, you should appreciate how cleverly APC excluded corrupt Atiku from party leadership, even his proxies were eventually stifled out of APC.

In any case, APC chieftains needed all the support they could muster, including Atiku's deep pockets, to defeat PDP at the centre, and they did! In other words, Atiku's money was put to good use!

And now that corrupt Atiku has taken his support elsewhere, do you still expect APC to cozy up to him? That's not hypocrisy; that's sound politics.

aljharem:
Hmmmm. Well it is on record again. A buhari is Farrrrr better than a former vice president that could not effect his change. Atiku is a way bigger theif than Buhari oooo

True talk!

nwanyionitsha:
Privatization is the way to go.

Fraudulent privatisation a la Atiku is never the way to go.

meromero11:


Bros, i support you 100%. The last juicy parastatal left outside Atiku's collection of dubious purchases is NNPC. He once said privately "that all he requires as president is just a day". A day to do what? A day to sign out the sale of NNPC to himself. Then after Nigerians can take back their useless presidency from him. This man needs NNPC more than he needed Nigerians. Who are Nigerians anyway? He has no known biological father nor mother nor sibblings that are Nigerians. He has no commitment to us. To him Nigeria is just an estate for purchase and he will buy it at any cost.

Atiku and his crew are crooks on steroids. Thank God, Atiku showed his hand early. We now know his calamitous intent!

awelekiti:
You got it wrong here, OP. The privatisation of nitel had created jobs for millions of Nigeria. Don't say this cpap to slot managing director because he'd just see you as a fool. While the obasanjo administration got it wrong by favouring their folks on privatisation which was why the privatised assets failed to yield success, he got it right on nitel. What the government earned in a year from gsm operators alone was 10 times higher than what they used to earn in same period when nitel was on board. Nnpc is a fraud. Maybe the OP is a beneficiary of that fraud. No forward thinking Nigerian would oppose to the privatisation of nnpc. Where many got it wrong is when comparing privatisation to sale . They're not the same. On atiku's idea I stand . Airports, rails, stadiums, even prisons and other means of transportation were run by private companies abroad. That's why many of us could tell of how beautiful and efficient they are when we return from our foreign trips. At'emi ati idile mi. Atiku la maa dibo fun

Your naivete is mind-boggling!

Firstly, privatisation of nitel did not create millions of jobs, the telcos that gave nitel competition did!

Secondly, don't ever compare nitel to a cash cow like NNPC...lailai.

Thirdly, you also claim many agencies are being "run by private companies abroad." But you fail to realise there are excellent institutions abroad that "oversee" all this; even then, there are still problematic externalities.

We are here in Nigeria where corruption is a beguiling monstrosity, and you dare suggest a strategic company like NNPC be sold! To whom exactly? Atiku's cronies? You bet. And who guarantees that the privatisation process is transparent? Saraki? You get the drift now!

I understand aljharem's fears, and you dare label him a fool. Nigeria is not ready to sell NNPC now.

And finally, Atiku should go on self exile and never come back. Greedy thing!

They are not on strike. They are indisposed.

Donelli:

Pardon me, but I'm not sure I understand what you mean here. Please explain further.

Okay. The thrust of my argument was that: Zik was no true nationalist because he later supported Biafra's secession project. He argued with energy for One Nigeria, despite the fact that pogroms were commited against . Igbos in 1945 and 1953. He later supported secession in Biafra using the pogroms against his people in 1966 as a reason.

Donelli:
I'm aware of the anthem part but which Biafra did he canvass to join OAU when the Nigerian government tried to ensure Biafra did not see the light of day?

i never said he succeeded, but he tried. In any case, he sought out some African Heads of States for Biafra's recognition. Didn't he?

Donelli:

...
Is this not a contradiction

No, It wasn't a contradiction. Remember, I brought up this statement, '...pogroms against igbos in 1945 and 1953 never dissuaded Zik from gleeful arguments of "indivisibility" and."perpetuity!"', only as an objection to arguments justifying Zik's support for secession during Biafra.

Donelli:
... Nnamdi Azikiwe never supported secession; if you have a link to prove that by all means
please share with me...

Did you say, "Nnamdi Azikiwe never supported secession"? Well, he evidently supported secession during Biafra! If he wrote Biafra's anthem and canvassed for Biafra to join the OAU as independent country, then he supported secession.

The choice of Obi as Atiku's vp says a lot about Atiku's poor judgment. You mean, out of the many illustrious sons and daughters of Igboland, only a divisive and controversy-laden Obi stood out for Atiku!

Ordinary vp choice, e no fit do well, de kine yehyeh president Atiku go be, hen? Make Atiku swerve jare!

Donelli:
If the secession clause had been included in the constitution at that time, the union would have broken up within two years because there were several post-independence crises. However, I strongly believe that the clause should have been included but made terminal.

It should have been written as option of a referendum after a cyclic period not less than 30 years (for instance) for the people to continually decide if or not the union will continue.

The secession clause should have been inserted unconditionally, without time limit!

Donelli:
Nnamdi Azikiwe had a vision of cohesion in Nigeria and Africa in general but he probably overestimated the situation.

Let's keep it simple, Zik never had that vision; he only had selfish reasons to rule the whole country!

A Pan-Africanist would never support Biafra nor write Biafra's Anthem. And please don't bring the "survival of his people" argument; it won' cut it, because pogroms against igbos in 1945 and 1953 never dissuaded Zik from gleeful arguments of "indivisibility" and."perpetuity!"

Typical Zik: careless, visionless, hubristic.

Atiku is playing with sand, and Buhari knows this...
PMB is too kind.

Sai Baba!

Racoon:
And what have the Buhari/Osinbajo APC govt.done about restructuring?

Resource control by the regions is one of the cardinal point of restructuring.This when pass as legislation will help the regions to develop @ their own pace & independent of other hence enhance healthy developmental competition.

The core north opposition to the sensitive issue of restructuring is because their dependence on oil allocation will be forever gone with the background multiple problems bedevilling the region.

For you to pass the "restructure bill," you will still need the Reps from the North to see it through. If they oppose it, which would most likely be the case, would Atiku force the bill down their throats?

Sirjamo:
This one will be talking as if he can single handedly change the constitution, and his stupid supporters are falling for his daily crap!

Atiku is a big crook. He knows he cannot make good this promise single-handedly.

The likely scenario is this even if he wins: he presents an executive bill for constitutional amendment, the northen majority in the House will kill the bill; Atiku would then turn to his southern Magas that he tried his best!

Corrinthians:
One is a kleptomaniac.

The other is an unrepentant Bigot.

What's there to trust in these two?

0.0 trust for those two.

Even worse, obi favors Catholics over Anglicans and still wants to lead the country!

Zsatan:


Lol. You funny.

Well it's now a nepotic office. No appreciation for what you do for your country in that arm anylonger.


But trust me there are some intelligent guys/ladies there.

I mean no tribal post, the arm is now a northern - northern affair.


Disclaimer: Before you accuse me of tribalism. I am Northern an know what i say/type. The NIA has been tribalised... You are a South and your riseto the top will be slow and not progressive. You are a northern and you can get 7 promotions in 2days.

The agency is now bleeped so very bleeped up. Gurl friends and Bleep buddies get office into an agency that ought to uphold the highest standard. Imagine an agency recruiting the girlfriend to a boss, and the girl happens to be a foreigner. This goes against everything the institution stands for. You can never be a foreigner and get employed into the NIA. It's part of the byelaws and this is obtainable in every government intelligence arm of other countries if same functions...



Men bro the NIA s dead and gone......

Imagine your boss knowing openly that you are been approached from foreign agencies for Infosys and they open their stupid mouth to say na side hutsle...

For real?

See let's change the topic of discussion

"...side hustle"? That's treason! Jesus! This country is just there, open, waiting to be taken.,,

DDGN:
Morroco's ECOWAS membership bid successful.
Tunisia's application follows thereafter. This time vetoed by Nigeria. Yet Tunisia is granted an observer status in ECOWAS.
NOW ISRAEL wants a sit at the African Union.

The world has gone crazy.

Something sinister is brewing. These guys have no love for Black Africa...in fact, they despise us; so why would they want to join us?(!) Simple verdict: they are not crazy; they want to undermine the AU and our regional blocs.

You are better than this, op. You could have waited for the other side of the story before making a case against the vp...

Piece of cake...OBJ could use his international connexion to help Atiku secure World Bank loans nah...using Naija oil as collateral...problem solved.

Fani-Kayode is schizophrenic. A while ago he referred to The President as an impostor called "Jubrin"; but now Buhari is back and being "cursed" as President!

...hahahahahahaha...

Peacemaker5128:
that is the fact someone from Senegal can never be our President

Just feed the animals, and the herdsmen problems will just disappear! Ba? Typical, simplistic Atiku response to complex issues!

Very concise and elegant..

Without quetion! And with cap in hand!
... Singing Fela's song: "...when trouble sleep, yanga go wake am..."

Atiku was only being modest, he employs over 999,000 Nigerians!

0monnak0da:
Oro were lo ma n yato

Pekele007:
Shut up your mouth, ta ni were?

kikikikiki...lol.
Una take am gently o. Haba! All this wahala...just for election. Na wa o!

For a serial blunderer, there are many more gaffes to come.

Atiku is overrated...a money-miss-road who thinks money buys everything.

Are these guys subtly making up ready excuses for PMB's victory at next year's General Elections?

Classless! What a tool.

If Atiku has just approved this, then he was most probably paying much less before now! I can't imagine he needed the nudge of NLC to pay some members of his staff decent wages! Incredible!

Gandollar:
The shitty stomach infrastructure group.

I stopped reading when they wrote "patient" instead of "patience".

A typo that didn't diminish the message: that Atiku is incapable of strategic thinking...an infirmity more "shitty" for someone who wants to be president!
