On the Proposed Seven (7) Years Jail Term for Social Media critics in Nigeria, hear what Atiku Abubakar has to say;

 Social media may yet change governance in Africa

I have recently had to answer many questions from friends and contemporaries, seeking to understand why I decided to join social media and expose myself to potential fire from young Nigerians. This is mostly because people who have known me for a long time know me to be a rather quiet person.
But the reality is that over the last months, I have learned that the positives of social media participation far outweigh the negatives.

Social media is where young people, the bulk of Nigeria’s population, gather to share their thoughts, often venting their frustrations with the inefficiencies of the country.

I may not always like what is written about me; indeed some commentators could be very insulting. Our society has always been one where older people expect a lot of respect from younger people, so the relative equality of voice that social media provides may shock newcomers to the platforms.
Overall, social media has allowed me to listen a diverse array of Nigerian voices without filters.
I am going to guess that colleagues in public service may see social media as a threat, and indeed seek to censor social media networks. But I think such an attempt would be a mistake.

"Atiku Abubakar is the best President Nigeria has not gotten yet" -- Babangida Aliyu.

Babangida Aliyu.

The Executive Governor of Niger State, Gov. Mu'azu Babangida Aliyu today appraised the efforts of Fmr. Vice-President Atiku Abubakar for his continous efforts in fighting for the sustenance of Democracy in Nigeria despite the huge oppositions he encountered in the course.

Gov. Aliyu while delivering a keynote address at the Official Launch of the Book Titled: LANDMARK CONSTITUTIONAL LAW CASES IN NIGERIA 2004-2007 THE ATIKU ABUBAKAR CASES gave instances on the exemplary lifestyle and great leadership qualities of Atiku Abubakar referring to him as best President Nigeria has not gotten yet.

PRESIDENT JONATHAN RINGS THE CLOSING BELL OF THE NEW-YORK STOCK EXCHANGE (NYSE) IN STYLE.

In 2006, President Obasanjo met with the CEO of the New York Stock Exchange in Davo, Switzerland and requested to ring the closing bell at the NYSE. He cited instances with the economic reforms being pushed by Dr. Iweala( whom 'our' governors wants sacked) and finally got a subtle and tentative invite by the new CEO.

The NYSE uses its selection of bell ringers to make strategic statements about the direction of the exchange and its seen as a strong endorsement to potential investors all over the world .

On arrival for the ceremony , the NYSE told President Obasanjo that the request was not approved and that the President can come for a 'lunch', which is a lesser endorsement at the Stock Exchange. Characteristic of OBJ, he got infuriated and shunned the Lunch.

A few months earlier, three African Presidents have been lumped together to ring the closing bell at the exchange. They were the President of Liberia, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf,
the President of Mozambique, Armando Guebuza and the President of Tanzania, Jakaya M. Kikwete.

Many African analysts saw this as a let down on Africa as many smaller European country's presidents had rung the closing bell alone.

Better Leadership in 2015.

It was just few hours to departure while coxing at the VIP LOUNGE
awaiting the arrival of the Bombadier CRI-900ER Jet which happens to
be our Transporter for the afternoon. At this point in time we were
engrossed in rare admiration of the Massive Transformation Work at the
newly remodeled Airport and its State of the Art Facilities when an
online publication caught my attention.

At the initial i was dazed beyond comprehension at the deteriorating
trend of Journalism in Nigeria and how much some persons choose to
acquire cheap publicity for themselves in order to cause an
unwarranted stir and maybe attention as they wholly desire.
It became so imperative and necessary to bring her attention into this
for some well obvious and factual reasons. Yes, she was sitting right
beside me and i had to beckon. “Ma’am take a look at this”, like the
taciturn and phlegmatic lady i have always known her for she smiled
even with a bemoaning remark. Though i had anticipated a harsh
reaction for such a derogatory publication.

AL-MUSTAPHA'S PRISON NOTES

AL-MUSTAPHA'S PRISON NOTES
**I would Have Gunned Down Abdulsalami.
**I noticed how Abacha's body changed when President Yasser Arafat security operatives shook hands with him
**Abacha and MKO's death were organized.

"My Boss, General Sani Muhammad Abacha, died at the early hours of Monday, 8th June, 1998. I had prepared him for a workshop organized by the Federal Ministry of Information for that day as he was expected to deliver an address as the Special Guest of Honour. His speech was drafted and fine tuned by the Chief Press Secretary, Chief David Attah who had submitted it to the Aide-De Camp for vetting and necessary amendments by the Commander-in-Ch­ief. When I got to the bedside of the Head of State, he was already gasping. Ordinarily, I could not just touch him. It was not allowed in our job. But under the situation on ground, I knelt close to him and shouted, “General Sani Abacha, Sir, please grant me permission to touch and carry you.”

"Contrary to insinuations, speculations and sad rumours initiated by some sections of the society, I maintain that the sudden collapse of the health system of the late Head of State started previous day (Sunday, 7th June, 1998) right from the Abuja International Airport immediately after one of the white security operatives or personnel who accompanied President Yasser Arafat of Palestine shook hands with him (General Abacha) I had noticed the change in the countenance of the late Commander-in-Ch­ief and informed the Aide-de-Camp, Lt. Col. Abdallah, accordingly. He, however, advised that we keep a close watch on the Head of State. Later in the evening of 8th June, 1998, around 6p.m; his doctor came around, administered an injection to stabilize him. He was advised to have a short rest. Happily, enough, by 9p.m; the Head of State was bouncing and receiving visitors until much later when General Jeremiah Timbut Useni, the then Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, came calling. He was fond of the Head of State. They were very good friends. They stayed and chatted together till about 3.35a.m. A friend of the house was with me in my office and as he was bidding me farewell, he came back to inform me that the FCT Minister, General Useni was out of the Head of State’s Guest House within the Villa."
