Photos: Atiku Abubakar meets with young people in Lagos for some kinda Manifesto


Former VP and aspiring presidential candidate of the APC, Atiku Abubakar had an interactive session with some youths in Lagos on Saturday Sept. 20th. During the meeting, Atiku said if elected, 50% of his cabinet will be made of qualified young people. See pics from the event after the cut...



 
Asked if any of his children study here in Nigeria, Atiku said 
"My daughters went to ABU(Ahmadu Bello University Zaria), one in Medicine, one in Pharmacy. The strikes did drive some of my kids abroad. They needed to finish on time. This is unfortunate and we need to fix it. Student fees do not cover AUN's recurrent expenditures. I cover that for now"
Asked if he will be defecting to any other party after his defection from PDP to APC, Atiku says the APC is "my last bus stop".

On how to improve executive accountability, Atiku advised that young people should elect better House of Assembly and Representative members. 

Dispelling rumors of being declared wanted in America. Atiku said he has an American visa which was issued last year but that he has no reason to visit the United states for now as his family doesn't live there anymore.

On how he would be improving the economy if elected President, Atiku said he would be focusing on 
"Agriculture and Human resource base. Our economy does not need to be resource based. Our resources should be a means to an end. Our people must be willing to take risks. My first real business in transportation (hire purchase). I actually lost my transport business but I tried again. I kept on. Young entrepreneurs need access to low interest funding and business information".

Several weeks after the collapse of a guest house in The Synagogue Church Of All Nations, more shocking stories are still unveiling.

11 GREAT RULES THAT WILL HELP YOU REMAIN POOR ALL YOUR LIFE (PART 2)

6. Complain about everything except your own attitude: Blame the system, the government and the banks that refuse to lend you money. They are all bad and do not want you to get rich. 7. Spend more than you earn: To achieve this, buy consumer products in credit and keep borrowing from friends and employer. 8. Compete in dressing: Make sure you wear the latest clothes among all the workers in your office. Whenever your neighbor buys a new phone, get one that is more expensive. 9. Get yourself a nice second- hand car that costs more than three times your gross monthly pay: That will surely keep you in debt long enough to hinder the implementation of any bad plans that could make you accumulate capital. 10. Give your children everything they ask for since you are such a loving parent and they should not struggle for anything because you do not want them to suffer. That way, they will grow up lazy and hence too poor to add value to the community. 11. Ignore God After all He's A Spirit a
