Ategberoson: Well, I can't blame Atiku. He must have looked at Nigerians and say: "If Nigerians can allow a lifeless, certificateless and incompetent fellow like Buhari, then they can allow anyone..." We lowered our standards. Such a shame. |

Ategberoson: you are very incoherent. I can't make out the sense in what you are trying to say. what censor law are you talking about when you have already referred to them as thieves? if you are a sincere person,you will know that politicians of the same political parties hardly wash their linings in public except if there is a clash of interest. |

Ategberoson: I had to copy this from another post for you to see and learn why the contract, you can see a Government that is already planning to move the nation forward not the one that dwells on lies and propaganda. see below and learn[color=#990000][/color] For those of us who don't know it already, here are 5 things to know about international lobbying in the US. 1) International lobbying is a legal activity in the US. In fact, it's a solid part and parcel of the US politics. In any case, the US laws require international lobbyists to register their outfits prior to operation. The lobbyists are usually private entities and independent of public officials. This is why the Nairaland front page headline that screams that PDP hired "Trump's Lobbyist" is wrong, false and downright dumb. 2. At least, 135 countries from around the world have hired US lobbyists at one time Countries like South Korea, Japan, China, etc have spent hundreds of millions of dollars in their US lobbying efforts in the last one year alone. A significant portion of this expenditure come directly from the government of those countries. In fact, the government of South Korea has spent over $3 million this year already, whilst its non-government entities have collectively spent over $7million. 3. The essence of this lobby is usually to influence the US foreign policy and engagements So, as stated in the original thread, the PDP is trying to influence the US foreign policy and engagements and make it work towards ensuring the stronger stability of the Nigerian democracy and political process. If they'd also tow this path as government, we'd probably enjoy smoother and more favorable outcomes from the US foreign policy and engagements in the coming years. 4. An international lobbying firm is not the same thing as a campaign strategy firm I saw people trying to compare this current PDP move to what the APC did in preparation for the 2015 election. These are two different things. For staters, by hiring Obama's former campaign consultant, APC was merely trying to help itself. But hiring a top US lobbying firm, the PDP is going the extra mile to help the entire nation. Please, kindly go back and read what the lobbying firm is supposed to do as stated in the news report. 5. INEC has already spent over $74,000 in US lobby efforts this year Yes, it's not only the PDP that use the services of a US lobbying firm. INEC is also doing that.

sarrki: These Dubai strategists shows they want to totally mortgage Nigeria away. People with evil and corrupt pasts with nothing to their name except money, no invention, no innovation, no achievement only fluke of opportunity and make believe. Nigerians vote for these Atikulooters at your own peril. Snakes are solitary animals but when you see them come together it is not because of mutuality but for exclusivity of individual benefit.

I have warned people around me not to have anything to do with any buharideen. They possess ALL the evil traits of the god they worship in Aso Rock. Liars , deceptive, hatred, fraud, hypocrisy, evil, bloodthirstyness etc. Every single one of the buharideen here witnessed when APC hired Ploufe and Axelrod, the guys that won the White House for Obama. They clapped then as they all ate from the stolen money that Tinubu and Amaechi released to put this demonic Aso Rock. Now they are shouting loud because PDP have done the very same thing they did in 2014. We will be free of them all in a few months by the Grace of God Atiku To Aso Rock 2019 Checkmate Corrinthians: |

wristbangle:You would have made a lot of sense but you didn't balance this submission. You blamed all the parties concerned and never provided or suggested a way out but only your plan of leaving the country. Your last line and submission is worst than Aisha Buhari's plan for this country. |

If PDP likes let them hire Trump, they will never win next year's election. SAI BUHARI.

Ategberoson: You see your first line can only make someone like me wonder and probed the reason behind your move to comment at all. Because Aisha is the President's wife, she can have as much as what was reported in the news that was stolen from her recently. This woman entrepreneur that couldn't lend her husband the money for his presidential form some few years back, now could save up so much in billion that one of her staff stole from here in this bad economy. Unfortunately, these guys don't know you're here fighting thier course with your fellow man. They don't even care about you, if they do things would be better for all not only thier family members. See bro, let's not drag this. Their money in government than you can imagine. Trust yourself and not one President or his wife. My one cent. |

Corrinthians: Oga, so because you want to buy Naija to grow Naija someone shouldn't travel abroad for a meeting again?...Hypocrisy is indeed a terrible disease, how many world leaders have you seen sit at home because they want to buy and grow products of their country? For your information, China still imports products from other countries despite being the biggest exporter in the world. A friend once told me that just to prove a bias point a stupid fellow will try to prove to you that ice is not cold. |
