You make it sound like I am begging him to talk? I don't care if he talks because I know he has nothing to offer

The point is ANY person who wants to be called Asiwaju of Yoruba land cannot be silent at this time so we agree that he is not Asiwaju of Yoruba.
Not just Tinubu Buhari should have spoken too.
We are potentially on the brink of civil war and you are asking what difference it would make if a man who reportedly wants to be the next president speaks
IWhen he has spoken in the past he has appeared incoherent e.g he called Obasanjo expired and called for him to be thrown in the trash

I am not one of those clamoring for him to speak however I am pointing out to those who elevate him as a Yoruba leader that he is not such a leader.

He should have spoken a LONG TIME ago about the appointments in the military and that alone is enough for a man of honour to have left the APC.

He is like the Monkey with a paw in the bottle trapped by greed
Maybe you are just following Nigeria politics, if you know the game you won't be talking like this.

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

Tinubu losing respect in your sight is of utmost insignificance.Who are you and your father? Nonentities who who have no value to themselves talkless to others. People of wretched birth , background and ancestry like you are incapable of understanding the essences of greatness of someone like Asiwaju .Tell us what you, your parents or any other person in your cursed ancestry have achieved.Or the height they have ever attained,them we would listen to you. Asiwaju doesn't need the respect or regards of someone of low and poor birth like you to accomplish his aspirations. Give those respect to your parents as your sallah gifts to them.They need it more.

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.

if you a yoruba person , remember yoruba proverb that says; ti a ba ta ara ile eni ni opo, ko ni ri ra bo do won. another one. Tinubu is a human like you and I, he is prone to make mistakes, errors in judgement etc. but fact is the man has tried his best among his peers from the slw,since the inception of democracy. you should ask yoursef why only him?.
we should cut the man some slack abeg, he is only aspiring just like every other human and it is his right to do so. i read a lot of crap people say about him here daily, its pathetic.

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[/quotel]

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.

Opposite of what it actually means. Asiwaju means courageous, frontman etc

I hope they will understand that bringing someone personality down, it's a bad home training according to Nigerian culture generally, this are people that wants change but can't be respectful to elders and put them aside with their PVC, and I hope they remember that if you insult someone's father, people one day will also insult your father by then how will you feel or by the time you're Insulted by younger people when you get old, moreover old age is a blessing none of us want our parents to die even though we know it's constant.

In a game of chess, asiwaju means pawn..

In yoruba land, the oba's confers the title on people wey dem fit press their mumu button and dem go cough out cash in a blink of an eye..
Na format to make the person feel important so as to get what they want from them...

To this guyz, money no be problem, nothing like dispensation error..

The title no even gel with anything called bravery, asiwaju wey no get sense, wey allow the feeling of being important get to his brain, na dem dey kick bucket in no time, the one wey get sense knows when to run for hin life, dey have plenty escape route, u need to camp dem very well if u wan kill dem, else, dem don japa..
