The path of entrepreneurship, particularly within the dynamic and often unpredictable terrain of Nigeria, is not for the faint-hearted. It demands a unique blend of attributes to navigate the complexities and seize the latent opportunities. 

During a recent mentoring session in Ikoyi, Lagos, organised by some young business leaders, Leo Stan Ekeh, Africa’s most decorated tech entrepreneur, articulated a compelling and insightful perspective: to truly flourish as an entrepreneur in Nigeria, one must cultivate a composite strength, drawing inspiration from the distinct yet powerful qualities embodied by prominent national figures – Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Atiku Abubakar, and Peter Obi.

Atiku is now Nigeria's public enemy No. 1 - ITREALMS

ITREALMS ... making leadership SENSE with digital news!

The current sabotage of the Naira notes swap and fuel scarcity that have caused untold hardship to millions of Nigerians across the country revealed the true character of Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar as public enemy number one.


Nigerians will recall that since the Central Bank introduced its current cash-limit and new Naira notes swap policies, Atiku Abubakar and PDP maintained opportunistic silence with the hope they will benefit from the discomfort the policies will create for Nigerians and the resentment they will generate for the ruling APC.

While Atiku and PDP were in bed with the saboteurs and fifth columnists among the operators of Money Deposit Banks and oil marketers who created the current logjam to force the outcome of the February 25 Presidential election in favour of the former Vice President, our candidate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu courageously pitched his tent with the poor masses who have been most negatively impacted by the antics of these evil doers.

COVID-19: Atiku advises African leaders to redesign budget, reduce governance cost - ITREALMS

ITREALMS:

The former Vice President of Nigeria, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has advised African leaders to reduce governance expenditure which is too high, if the continent must mitigate the effects of ravaging Chinese Virus-19 also known as Coronavirus or COVID-19, reports ITREALMS.

Atiku in a public statement available to ITREALMS, said that Africa is on a crossroads and her leaders cannot afford to be indifferent to the needs of the populace.

He also called on African nations to rebudget, reassign and reduce expenditure with Nigeria on the lead. Pointing out that Nigeria need to think and act her way into taking the right path.

“History will forgive us if we make the wrong decisions, but it certainly will not forgive us if we take no decisions in the misguided belief that others will save us. If Nigeria does not save herself in this season of a global emergency, we may find that a new world order will emerge and we will no longer be the Giant of Africa. We may not even be the Giant of West Africa if we do not take decisive action.

For him, Nigeria, for instance, cannot be considered a serious nation when her leaders refused to cut down on profligacy and instead seek outside help to fund inefficiencies.

We cannot be considered a serious country when we refuse to cut down on profligacy and instead seek outside help to fund our inefficiencies.

“Even in our own individual houses, when things get tight, the first thing we should do is cut down on unnecessary expenditure and then you look for creative ways to generate funds and develop our household economy, before we even seek outside funding,” he said.

PDP to INEC: Declare Atiku winner now - ITREALMS

ITREALMS: 

…Alerts that Buhari, APC are seeking to alter results

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) charges the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to immediately announce results as delivered from the polling units and declare the people’s candidate, Atiku Abubakar, the winner of the February 23 Presidential election, reports ITREALMS.

National Publicity Secretary and Director, Media & Publicity PDP Presidential Campaign Organization, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, said that their position is predicated on clear and verifiable results across the nation, showing that Atiku Abubakar is in clear lead both in spread and total number of votes cast.

"Intelligence available to us is that INEC is delaying the announcement of results following directives by the Buhari Presidency and the All Progressives Congress (APC), which are bent on altering the figures from the polling centers and allocate fictitious figures for President Muhammadu Buhari, particularly in northern states.

"Curiously, INEC server is now shut down, results are no more being transmitted and the reason is to enable the APC to inflate figures from six designated states.

"We call on international observers and election monitors to insist on a transparent process of transmission of results and the monitoring thereof.

"We already have reports of how APC governors in the northern states have been making desperate effort to tamper with the results of the elections in their respective states with the view to award conjured votes to President Buhari.

"In Kogi state, Governor Yahaya Bello has been making frantic moves to change results to suit APC’s intent and purposes as against the wishes of the people, expressly delivered at the polls.

"Nigerians already know how the Minister of Transportation and the Director-General of the Buhari Campaign, Rotimi Amaechi, used the military to hold an INEC official in River state, Mrs. Mary Efeturi, hostage and insisted that she will not be released until she alters the results in favour of President Buhari 

"The PDP calls on INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu to note that in this age of Information Communication Technology, Nigerians already have the results as delivered at the polling centers and any attempt to alter any figure will be faced with vehement resistance.

"In delaying the announcement of the results, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu is allowing the APC to turn him into a villain and directly pitching him against the people. He should therefore extricate himself from the rejected APC and be on the side of the people, by immediately announcing the results as already delivered at the polling units and declare, the people’s candidate, Atiku Abubakar, the winner," he said. 

Insisting that anything short of this is not acceptable to Nigerians, "who had already expressed their wishes and aspiration at the polls," PDP declared.

Why Jukuns endorsed Atiku - ITREALMS

ITREALMS:

The apex Jukun socio-political organization Jukuns Development Association of Nigeria (JDAN) and other groups such as Jukuns Leaders of Thoughts (JLT) as well as women and youth groups have resolved to support the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and his running mate Peter Obi in the 2019 Presidential election slated for February next year.

Briefing newsmen after an emergency meeting of the leaders of the Jukun nation in Lagos on Friday, JDAN National President Chief Bako Benjamin, said the endorsement followed “very wide consultation among our people.”

He said this is coming on the heels of what the Jukun nation has suffered in recent time, and the orgy of killings of thousands of innocent Jukuns in the hands of marauding herdsmen.

“We are bothered as a people and we have decided to take our destiny in our hands and make our stand concerning this very important election known to Nigerians and the rest of the world ahead of the coming polls,” Benjamin said.

He lamented that the Jukun people never had it tougher than they are presently going through in recent history.

He recounted how hundreds of his people were displaced, killed, and exiled from their farms and ancestral homes by marauding herdsmen, who also burnt down their victims’ farms without protection and support from the government.

According to him, the Jukun people are not happy that their homelands have been turned into a land flowing with blood of innocent farmers by marauding gun totting herdsmen. “Rather than sending words of sympathy, support and protection, soldiers were instead sent to shoot our youths who dare to defend themselves and their communities, arresting many unarmed youngsters and ignoring the murderous herdsmen who were provided cover while they made their escape with their guns.”

Benjamin said the Jukuns were filled with high hopes when President Muhammadu Buhari assumed office having being helped by our son Gen. TY Danjuma, but we soon regretted when he stabbed us in the back with betrayal.

He said all Jukuns will prefer to try Atiku in the coming election and “we would massively vote for him at the poll.”

Backlash: Atiku goes to farm on Rolex watch, agbada

ITRealms:

For attempted farming on Twitter, the former Vice President of Nigeria, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is now at the receiving end for sharing his farming picture on Twitter, reports ITRealms.

Investigations by ITRealms showed that on Wednesday, June 21, 2017, Abubakar at 9:42am tweeted a picture of himself entitled ‘farming season,’ but instead of getting thumb up, the tweeps are attacking him with venom from angry Nigerians.

Some of those who responded to the tweet told him that real farmers do not have the time to snap pictures for Twitter posting.

"Real farmers are busy in the farm not on Twitter. Real farmers don't dress in Agbada," one of the critics, @gentle_Chika said.

For @OmoAyeni, it was the question time; "what are we planting this time, another seed of corruption?"

Also for El Nino, wondered the farming season with which dress. As said by him, "The real farmers who feed Nigeria cannot even afford d cost of his cap to put cloths on theri back."

Yet for Dafidi @Molade87, this picture depicts "Operation Fool the Nation" saying its another Atiku's deceptive strategies to make myopic and gullible Nigerians vote for him in 2019.

Sean Omo_ni_gho, declared that there is no place where farmers plant with agbada dress and Rolex.

@Realking-Kesh asked if Atiku is not farming for his stomach, wondering how that caused the reduction in food prices in the Nigerian market?

"no be ur belle u dey farm for? hw dat one take reduce price of foodstuffs for market? U dey even farm with that kind wristwatch sannu?"
