Demdem:

Kats, u mean bestowing the iyaloja's title to Tinubu's daughter will backfire on his political fortune or what? Kindly expatiate please. how did it backfire on the saraki's fortune when his kids were bestowed chieftancy titles?

Joarams:

Calm down Desola, so that you can sort the issues objectively. Since when did that position become open to the general public to contest in or have a say. This title has little or nothing to do with the ACN or its politics. The Iyaloja title is very cultural...ask the Oba of Lagos.

Katsumoto:

Hahaha

Thank goodness u laughed

Yorubas outside kwara are different from those in Kwara. Make we dey watch.

We all will be living witnesses no doubt. No Shaking.

Ola one:
Nice one, man.


These ACN sycophants are a bunch of snoots. They actually think they are more egalitarian than those in PDP. rUBBISH.

Katsumoto:

Joarams:

Open your eyes...this is not ACN. It's a proper traditional title. It's like the Council of Chiefs (esp. the Afobajes' - "Kingmakers" selecting a heir to the throne (by their own fiat) and the public complaining that he's the son of the past King.

Emi CEO fun ra mi.

O baje gan o. Next time, you append CEO before Village tyrant, so gbo.

'obvious' ni were fe so to ni 'envious'.

Clearly you have not been schooled in the art of constructing grammatically correct sentences and accurate spelling of words.

mumu.

Desola:

Those ones that have been totally blinded by religion and believe in being sub servient to their monarch. Those ones are closer to Northern almajiris than the enlightened cosmopolitan Yorubas in Lagos.

For lagos, we know book and we get sense! Tinubu does not give us amala nor does he pays anyone's school fees. We will resist him!

Eko Ile:

Unfortunately for you, Tinubu to start with is not a public official like GEJ, he's a private citizen and he's not doing anything while under official cover or your constitution and he owes you nothing so curb your apples and oranges analogies.

Also, this title is not an official position grounded by any state or federal laws or constitution, I also don't see how it hurts you, how it hurts anybody or anything.


What's fueling your manufactured rage is nothing but the same silly and pointless hate and bigotry against the man unless you are able to state categorically how this affects you as a human being and as a Nigerian.[/s]

The next Iyaloja: Tinubu upbraids PDP, journalists for “flashing rumours as stories”


Two days ago, the former Lagos governor and ACN chieftain, Bola Tinubu, came under severe criticism from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), as well as some social commentators, over allegations that he had disclosed during the 8-day Fidau Prayer for his late mother, that his sister, Folashade Tinubu-Ojo, would succeed his mother as the president of the Association of Market Women and Men in Lagos state.

The ACN publicity secretary in the state, Joe Igbokwe, denied the reports when it first broke saying “it is not true and can never be true. We don’t have time for that.”

Now, Bola Tinubu’s office has disclosed that the news was “simply a rumor and a wicked attempt to desecrate the memory of Tinubu’s mother.” They said that a careful review of the tape for the event would show that Tinubu did not say any such thing at any point during or after the event as is now being “salaciously bandied about in the media.”
The statement further disclosed that Tinubu never said a word during the entire programme.

“It takes very little effort to investigate whether Tinubu made such pubic pronouncement. Special tributes to the late mother of Tinubu were read by his Special Adviser on Media, Mr. Sunday Dare, while the vote of thanks was delivered by the Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola.
“One would hope that journalists and bloggers would ask questions and dig a bit deeper before flashing rumours as stories. You cannot put a man in jail simply because you suspect him of something or because you think he will do something in the future.”

Tinubu accused the PDP of being on a pre-emptive strike.
“Their press statement should be seen that of a guilty weakling who is screaming and weeping, scared of vanishing into the nothingness they know they are.”

A source told The Scoop that indeed Tinubu never made the said statement during his mother’s 8-day Firdau prayer. The source however revealed that one of Tinubu’s sisters who had been acting for Madam Mogaji for four years due to the woman’s old age, might continue in that role. The source also told The Scoop that “PDP’s accusation that Tinubu had called for a meeting with the market leaders for Tuesday to break the news to them was clearly false as the former governor spent the whole day in Ibadan.

kofoshi:

which stupid king is that? The same one that take counsel from Tinubu on how to run his kingdom. No matter how much icing sugar you choose to dress this up with, it does nothing to take away from the fact that not only is tinubu politically influential in the matter of the west, he is also meddling with our traditional government. He is the monarchy and his greed is what will ultimately lead to his demise, mark this day down.

He would be brought down whether through shame or death!

That he "delivered" you from the PDP means that you should now lose your sense of reasoning?

Joarams:

Ok. My apologies. I was trying to slow down your extrapolation from "Iyaloja issues" to the ACN and the entire politics in Lagos.

Pukkah:

Are you saying that Bola Tinubu had no hand or say in making his daughter the new Iyaloja? Even if it was not his decision or making and he was simply consulted by the Oba of Lagos or his daughter, what do you think he should have said in the interest of decorum and respecting the sensibilities of others? Or is the Iyaloja title hereditary?

I think this is not right.

Demdem:

Do u know how old this daughter in question is? IS she not old enough to make her own decision and design her own path? are u even aware that she is a married woman? Oba made a decision, she sat down, thought about it and accepted. why should the father be blamed for this.
Just like OBJ said as regards her daughter, she is old enough to make her decisions.

Katsumoto: You know things are not right when supporters agree with everything their leader does.

Demdem:

i agree. Tinubu has numerous flaws but this to me cant be included.

Katsumoto:

Stop this tomfoolery demdem. Trying to be naive wont cut it.

Naive about what? What i know is it will simply add to THE TINUBUS power.

Katsumoto:

As it occured to you guys that its the little things that push people over the edge?

Ola one: When Iyabo Obasanjo became a politician, this same set of posters rejected it and took up arms.

Demdem:

The same way we have done till date right?
