Please help them USAID so they can start thinking like hyman beings instead of rebels all the time.
'USAID, AUN partner to boost basic education'? Since when? This is another partisan & mistimed move by the US to favour Atikulooter beaten silly at the polls by Buhari Very good Give Atikulooter all the $s but he'll never preside over us!
Is the US reimbursing Atikulooter for his presidential campaign losses? This $13 million parternership looks like a Donald Trump instructed move to throw a lifeline at Atiku Having lost at the polls, Atiku needs money to pay his imported lawyers arguing his case at the tribunal
