Let's Cut Tinubu Some Slack On Irrelevancies by Obinoscopy(m): 5:06pm On Sep 01, 2022
Disclaimer: I don't support Tinubu's Presidential Bid.

I have noticed the numerous attacks on Tinubu. While some are valid, there are many that are just false and biased.

First is his health. They say his "hand dey shake" and that he pees his pants. They say he can't walk unless he is being held by the hand. But that's not true. I've seen numerous recent videos of him walking by himself and his hands were steady. Nobody, and I repeat, nobody is 100% healthy. So I think its wrong for anyone to brand him unhealthy. He appears healthy to me. Is he healthy enough to be able to juggle the stress of Nigerian presidency, I don't know (maybe he isn't) . But going by the Nigerian constitution, he's fit.

Second is his academic qualifications. I've heard him talk and he seems very academically sound. Even though his primary and secondary schooling appears to be an unsolved mystery, the fact remains that he is academically sound. Also his postgraduate degree seem to be verifiable. Attacking Tinubu's primary school is like attacking a Professor's primary school. So, let's all drop this primary school attacks. He is an almamater of a prestigious university and he is academically sound.

Which leads me to the attacks on the things he said in public. I think Tinubu is a deep thinker and speaks almost in parables/proverbs. So sometimes, it would seem what he is saying is unintelligible. But the reverse is the case. When he was talking about Corn and Agbado, he was simply referring to Agricultural Self Sustainability. When he talked about tongues from the Bible, he was referring to the Babylonian Tower where God made everyone speak in different tongues which is now responsible for human cultural/language diversity (Genesis 11:1 - 9).

So let's cut this man some slack on irrelevant things and attack him on issue based concerns. We should attack him on his policies, on his financial dealings, on his gubernatorial achievements/failures, etc

I hope he also inherited speaking in tongues from the Bible too and other numerous videos of him sometimes talking off point

If you choose not to see what is obvious about him, that's your choice. You cannot say all the evident videos of him on net are false.
Just support the candidate of your choice and don't make it look like what is evident about him is a lie

What he meant is that the reason why we all speak different language was due to what happened on the Babylonian Tower in Genesis. I'm sure you know the story.

Don't mind them, they are the one shouting the loudest about religion and they don't even understand the Bible. Tinubu was simply referring to the different languages we speak as related to the Bible.
All these hypocrites and fake Christians.

I agree 100%, we need him to grant interviews with the news media so they can seek clarification from him on our behalf. I'm told he would do those interviews once campaign starts. I don't know how true.

Tower of Babel wasn't about speaking in tongues tho, so here lies the problem.

Let him speak clearly and not in parables/proverbs he's running for the highest office in the land not village head.

The tongues he was referring to was language. Infact, google "confusion of tongues (confusio linguarum)", you will see where it all began.

Obinoscopy how are you doing? Long time no post.

75 percent of your post reeks of sarcasm though.
A man who cannot hold a mere flag is not fit to rule a large entity like Nigeria. He should keep enjoying the loot of Lagos and leave Nigeria for those who are physically sound.

Btw, I wonder why Seun would change Tinubu Urchins to Tinubu supporters. For what reason?

There's a popular saying, I am responsible for what I say and not how you understand it.

Bola Tinubu spoke about speaking in tongues and not speaking in a different language which are two different things in biblical context.

1) You cannot say exactly what he's referring to except you're Bola Tinubu. Which means he needs to speak clearly.

2) The Christians that heard what he said understood exactly what he meant.

3) Tinubu is a Muslim maybe he should concentrate on the Koran and leave the Bible or whatever it contains alone, wouldn't you agree?

Speaking in Tongues is not Inherited but gifted. It's not the same as Babel. The difference is in Babel, you understand the language you speak. But when Speaking in Tongues, you don't understand the language you speak in. Others may, but you don't. Only the people that own the language and God understand.

But I saw the video too, he held the flag for over a minute before Buhari and others held it together with him. People made it seem he couldn't even hold the flag, but he held it by himself for over a minute before other joined him. Perhaps they joined him to let everyone know that Tinubu won't govern alone but will have a retinue of APC party faithful that will govern with him. That it will be not just a Tinubu government but an APC government as well.

On the number of youths he would recruit into the army, perhaps it was a slip. I'm sure he will clarify when asked by the media in an interview.

But I saw the video. People made it seem he couldn't hold the flag but he held it up for over a minute. And even when others joined him to hold up the flag, it wasn't because his hands were shaking.

Perhaps you are right he shouldn't have quoted the Bible so as not to make some "intolerant" Christians attack him. Maybe he didn't use the right word, but I just want us to understand the context of his speech and what he hoped to communicate while using that event from the Bible.

Let's not put words into BAT's mouth he said what he said and we heard what we heard.

It's the same thing. Speaking in tongue is suddenly speaking in another new language on the spot which was what happened at Babel and at the Pentecost.

You do know that some people have the gift of interpreting the new language they suddenly speak whereas some don't. It's still all about sudden speaking in a new language on the spot.

Tinubu was talking about the diversity of languages while using the Bible as a reference and he was right.

Don't stress yourself. Whoever people like does no wrong in their eyes and he's treated like a saint. Same way, when people don't like someone, whatever he does either right or wrong, will always be seen as bad.

I respect Tinubu as an elder And a leader.But the fact that they deceived a country of over 200 million peoples with false promises is enough reason never to forgive APC. Yardua was sick yet he did well .But it has been proven without reasonable doubt that APC came to destroy Nigeria. Let the Old Man respect himself!!

@op, The bulk of the woke youth can not understand you. I likened them to young teenagers who think they are the smartest and know everything beyond their parents knowledge.

what attracts those youths are things like "he looks so presidential" candidates talking about Nigeria problems with no clear cut solutions provided and providing bogus statistics" Even a madman can talk about Nigerias problem.

The Tinubu i know is an intellectual, the youths must not be deceived by hate or looks.
