What Does Asiwaju Mean? by aribisala0(m): 8:05pm On Jan 24, 2021
This is difficult to Translate but a literal transliteration would be

One who opens (leads) from the front

A leader
The first
One who opens the road etc


It is a common honorary title in Yoruba land. conferred by different obas or kings


Tinubu was given the title by the Oba of Eko( Lagos) and therefore is the Asiwaju of Eko of Lagos Town .

Many people assume he is Asiwaju of Lagos State or even Yoruba land . This is inaccurate

Tinubu no doubt aspires to be Asiwaju of Yoruba land


Recently in a time of crisis , he has gone missing. This would not be the first time.
I should be clear to all right thinking Yoruba just now that he does not Si waju rara ati rara

Ero eyin ni Tinubu. Ojo si ni pelu

He has lost whatever respect he has and should quietly retire and enjoy his bullion

He's keeping a low profile to protect himself from verbal attacks and criticisms. He's also doing this by distancing himself from the presidency. Don't be u strategic. He's protecting his head

The name with good meaning on the lips of every Omoluabi's now is Igboho

Asiwaju can be translated to "Cowardice" in the new and refined Oxford dictionary.

I don't even think he was conferred with the title in the first place, rather he bought it.

There's nothing Asiwaju about Tinubu, rather he is Asapamo.

But who cares though...

you people re always on Tinubu neck for every thing that happens in APC, Nigeria, south west region .cut him some slack he can't be everywhere.
You people want to drag Tinubu to unnecessary war with his adversaries like your ancestors did to Awolowo.
Tinubu will never make the same mistake awo did. You cant reduce tinubu to a sectional leader.
The duty of sectional leaders like
Are onakakanfo
Afenifere
Opc
Amotekun
Monarchs is to stand up against external force not a political leader.
If these names cant protect south west region then they should vacate their positions.

You are delusional

Tinubu has ALWAYS been a sectional leader so stop deceiving yourself. His section is Lagos not even the SW

He cannot hold Oyo Ondo or Ekiti.

No one is asking him to protect but he should not be a coward . He should speak

When he speaks he should not ask Where are the cows

Tell us one state outside the SW where he has influence

Tinubu is there for himself and his family

What has his wife achieved for Lagos in the Senate?
He got his daughter appointed as Iyaloja of Lagos by Akiolu and she is extorting computer village in Ikeja

Is Akiolu Oba of Lagos state


The same Tinubu that calls Obas of Yorubaland atenuje

Ojo esin Tinubu ti su

He could not even hold Edo

MD of NPA is Aboki the entire security apparatus Aboki

The airports and seaport in Lagos is full of illiterate abokis

If Tinubu had any honour he should have left the government instead he was disgracing himself with bullion vans

just look out how frustrated you are because of hatred for Tinubu.
Is Tinubu the cause of farmer herders clash?

Is Tinubu the commander of service chief?

Is Tinubu the only yoruba leader that didnt speak?

You guys dont see him as a leader yet you re always crying for his opinion in all issues is that not hypocrisy

Go and rest

You feel strongly enough about Tinubu to call me a leper?
What makes me a leper?

That I have different politics from you?
I hope that on reflection you will apologize

Tinubu has kept quiet on the one thing he was vocal about that is of interest to the Yoruba ; Restructuring and federalism

The only explanation is that he has subordinated that cause to personal interest

When Amotekun came up he was double speaking

Majority of Yorubas already know that Tinubu is a self-serving greedy theif. He's only concerned about his pocket, that is why he will never become president because nobody will vote for him, even Yorubas.

Yorubaland must rise up now and confront the fulanis, we must realize that the battle line is drawn.

Restructuring is part and parcel of APC.

Now talking about it as a person with no executive power and being in position to implement it, which is easier? Una no wise.

There is an open secret that disqualifies him from contesting

Those who know are just waiting for the right time


All politicians are greed but his own is too much and too brazen



He has no respect for Yoruba Obas and believes everyone can be bought
