If you are ever in this position, you are not prepared for marriage. No human being should ever have the FINAL say on whom you marry, let alone your sisters or aunties. We all have soft spots for our mothers, but sisters and aunties dictating one’s marriage? Sun sha giya ne?
14 years ago, Adamawa was receiving N2.8b allocation, while today it receives N16b.
Lets do quick maths:
N2.8B in 2012 could buy you 400,000 bags of rice, while N16B today would buy you 320,000 bags.
N2.8B in 2012 was $18m, while N16B today is $12m.
Under APC, MORE IS LESS!
There is an African saying that only a fool walks into the same trap twice. If Chief Obasanjo truly believes choosing @atiku as Vice President was his greatest political mistake, then he alone must explain why he willingly repeated that "mistake" a second time.
His book is also not a contribution to history; it is a political weapon forged in bitterness and deployed at every election cycle against those he wishes to stop. It is less a memoir than an attempt to settle old scores and rewrite history in his own image.

Atiku @atiku also made a great mistake by not accepting the requests of the likes of Orji Uzor Kalu, Alhaji Abdulkadir Kure, Abdullahi Adamu, and others to run for the presidency in 2003.
His brilliance has endeared some of us to him that we see him as part of us. I cannot in good conscience see a very intelligent candidate like Atiku and leave him to follow dullard.
Atiku is the man.
2027 is the year.
Dear Anonymous,
I spent my entire university life at ABU Zaria hitting back to back first class GPA for 6 semesters in Political Science. My very first GPA was 4.79/5.00 which was the overall best in the whole faculty of social science consisting of over 600 students. I maintained it for almost my entire university life.
Unfortunately, In the first semester of my final year, my CGPA dropped to 4.47 exactly like you, with just one semester to go (see my pinnned tweet). I needed a 5.00 GPA in the final semester including research project to achieve my dream of graduating with a first class and breaking the record in a program that no one believed first class was possible. I was stuck between giving up to avoid last minute heartbreak or try to break a longstanding record as first class in political science was impossible for over 40years and hitting 5.00 CGPA in final semester was something students used to say only God could achieve. The two final year courses were enough hell, but I also needed ‘A’ in research project which further complicated things. Hundreds have tried, Hundreds have failed. People used to mock me in the library saying “haba scholar, in the end it’s just second class upper” just like those who tried before me.
However, I remained focused and locked in with hardwork and prayers. I had to travel twice to my village, stayed for weeks without electricity just to get data for my final year project. I stayed back in school during first semester holiday while everyone else went home to their families. During the dark days of no light on campus, I used ABU streetlights to study outside. Sometimes, I entered the bush behind the hostel to sit around trees to study during exams when libraries got overcrowded (until snake killed one old woman). Those who were close to me said I was going crazy and nicknamed me “books”.
Today, I am proud to tell you that I have a record breaking first class degree from ABU which has changed my life forever. I featured in several newspapers & blogs for achieving the impossible, bagged a fully funded EU scholarship which resulted in me bagging two more first class degrees from the UK & Netherlands and currently working as the only black Analyst in my team at a silicon valley tech giant with a less than 1% global job acceptance rate.
All these dreams were possible because I didn’t give up
I didn’t listen to people
I worked hard and prayed and the almighty lifted me in his blessings.
I hope my story motivates you and others like you who are considering giving up.
And if you see this, please send me a DM I would like to know & support you personally.
