Gradually, we are getting there! I thought some folks once boasted on this forum that Tinubu would be arrested if he ever entered the US. Tinubu is a mere mortal and has significant weaknesses as normal beings do. I don't even see anyone who can make headway in Nigeria's political terrain as it is now and be a complete saint.The system does not permit it. There is one thing I understand though: Nigeria needs more of Tinubus in the East, South and the North if we must move beyond this state of arrested development. I am of the opinion all the accusations against him are mere "beer parlour" gossips that amount to nothing. If there is anything cogent against him, I am damn sure by now, Tinubu would be behind bars. Love him or hate him, Tinubu is a political machine. He led the team that dismantled OBJ's useless political network in the West. He is championing regional integration in the West again while others are chasing mundane issues in their region. Tinubu might after all be a crooked politician as no politician is trustworthy in absolute sense, but at the moment there is no evidence to justify the name calling that dominate threads opened with sole purpose of bashing him. What's laughable is the fact that Tinubu is not even in government! He has never ruled Nigeria and of course not part of folks that killed the country. In Lagos where he ruled before, the story is more of a model for others to copy-in governance, politics, succession planning etc At the end of 2007, ACN had just one state-Lagos while PPA championed by Orji Kalu had two-Abia and Imo. Where is PPA today? To some folks, Tinubu is an example of a man we don't have that must be pulled down at all cost. He understands the political terrain, historical nuances of Nigeria and has been deft in political maneuvers and actions. Let the name calling continues! 2 Likes |

[quote author=Gbawe] People like you who speak with so much venomous ignorance are the ones making Tinubu popular and forcing others to defend him ala 'stick up for the underdog'. There may have been murderers, child molesters and many deviants in that hall yet, in your god-like wisdom, you conclude Tinubu "is the most ill qualified person to sit in that auditorium these past 3 days". Na real wa for some Nairalanders. Let the man be and stop hating vacuously and blindly. He is not the President of Nigeria and he should be the least of your worries if you are a politically sophisticated people able to ambitiously demand effective leadership from those who actually have the office and power to deliver solutions.[Ur on point joor] |

If you do, please reply by listing their names and contact addresses here. Abeg nor let me yab you for Sunday morning oh! Make you nor make me commit sin please for this holy hour!! BTW, maybe you should ask [size=13pt]Tinubu what he saw in YOUR "retardeen" to make him deliver the southwest plus Edo votes to him last year.[/size] What u guys refused to acknowledge is for each of tinubu's alleged excesses a private citizen for that matter, abuja is also indicted. Na which Tinubu be private citizen The Chancellor of a PUBLIC university? The NATIONAL leader of a party that controls six states and over 25% of SINators and representaTHIEVES in the NASS? For whom Aregberascal used the tax money of citizens to load many Osun state buses with thugs to go to Abuja for solidarity when he was being tried by ICPC? The same way PDP Lagos rallied around Bode George? Or the same person who is represented at Enahoror lecture by a whole deputy governor of Ekiti state?

Maybe you are too young to know. If that is the case you have two options - read up or ask your elders.

anonimi: To be honest, this is utter rubbish. I believe so much in leadership by example. Not until the head starts doing it right and leading people by example nothing can change. The head is already rotten, u are talking of healing the branches are u dumb enough to realize that its impossible. I re-iterate that Tinubu (not a saint) is a private citizen and if at all its true that these so called attrocities of his are there then the head should be booted out. Abi, who is in charge of security agents that investigate and bring criminals to book? no be the head? (FG). simple. |

Demdem: Can you show me which of the "atrocities" warrants your FG to investigate and bring the criminal to book? In case you have forgotten, states and LGAs have autonomy on how they spend their money according to the wishes of their constituents. If the constituents decide to be MAGA'ed na dem problem be dat. Nothing concern FG for their matter. Make you dey do follow, follow dey go. na your own consain be dat! |

Re: Tinubu At The US Democratic Convention In Charlotte, NC by Demdem(m): 11:05am On Sep 09, 2012 |
anonimi: So u can't even point to one attrocity of Tinubu that the police controlled by fg can investigate and yet u label him a criminal. Oga u have issues. Back all ur allegations with facts and forward it to the security agents and see if they won't act. Bode George has done this and was told there is no case. U can pick up the mantle from where bode dropped it. Yes states and LG has autonomy but not to spend it for individuals but the general citizenry. Constituents can't even demand funds be given to private individuals constantly, its illegal. Am sure efcc and icpc will be interested in such. Nobody is claiming sainthood for tinubu the smart and sharp guy, afterall what's goes on In abuja which ought to lead by example rubbishes and dwarfs the crumbs tinubu may be getting. Why should I focus on ants when I have bulls to fight.? If abuja gets it right, the states will wake up. That's natural Oga Abegii come out with something concrete and forward it to the authorities. Bode George will handsomely reward u. |

anonimi: You are a thoroughly dishonest and highly unprincipled individual. What "misleading comments"? Can anything I have said here be compared to your outlandish market woman speculation about Tinubu trying to deny Fashola a second term? Whatever the truth about that, how pathetic do you look for mentioning it given that what eventually happened , i.e Fashola gaining a second term, only makes you appear like a petty gossip and propagandist? Folks like you should learn to focus on facts, reality and what can be proven. Hinging your talk here on "he said, she said" speculations ,that never played out as stated, just means you have zero legitimate point to back your senseless hatred of others. |

ndu_chucks: Nigeria and my people all over the country are richly blessed. I love our passion regarding anything we hold dear to us - we defend our various tribal leaders, even if we know that they are blatantly wrong. The IQ of the average Nigerian must be highr than those of the national averages of most countries in the world. I challenge anyone to prove the IQ statement as false. Mmmhhh, thats an interesting comment. So when you cannot resolve your civil matters you go outside to challenge and even curse fellow Africans. Are you that out of control with highest I.Q that you have just used here. I thought we all condemned South Africa for Xenophibia, I would not really say that is cowardice I think they acted while you only write however disgusting it was, you need to start to think better. Africa does not war one country against another. I am sure as very godly people both Christians and Moslem you can exercise control without taking anger against others. As you both claim Peace!!! |
Re: Tinubu At The US Democratic Convention In Charlotte, NC by anonimi: 3:57pm On Sep 09, 2012 |
Demdem: Since you are asking if I have evidence for the FG to prosecute your tin-god Tinubu, I am sure you also have Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan's psychometric test results showing that your country's President and Commander in Chief is daft. Or you probably have his mental health assessment showing he is a re.tard |
