I dey my sister. Trust you are good.

It does? That was not my intent though. I actually mean it, we should address the major issues.

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.

OH really? I never knew.
Sorry, seems you saw the video with another eye. Please, watch the video again.
The moment he was given the flag, it started falling off from his grip. Buhari who is his age mate had to step in with the other man to help.
Please, let's condemn what is bad. Aso Rock is not an old people's home, neither is it a place for drug Lords and thugs like MC oluomo.

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

Go and watch the video without a hatred in your heart. The president and the chairman of the party held the flag with him which is the custom of the any party after that he waved the flag by himself.
Who send you work? Who asked you to release these pictures?

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.

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.

It's more of like cutting cake with group of people

They are generally ignorant, unintelligent and uneducated.

He ruled Lagos without fed allocations from Obasanjo, yet at election times he runs crawling to him. Maybe there is some things he knows that his suppoters don't. Remember, Lagos is the smallest state but the one with the highest IGR.

Is it that this Zombidient are dullards, they did not go to school or they are not thought figurative expression. There was a time I was playing with words, using different words to express myself and this dullard lady among them said what I said was not in the dictionary. l just laughed her to scorn. Later I lectured her on many ways one can play with words in English language.

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?



Don't you know that speaking in tongue means speaking in different languages. And you call yourself a Christian?

tho Obi can't win the election but if he wins know that you'd drag him as well coz it will be a recycling. I fear the Nigerian population is what is holding us back and not our leaders . Because we want the impossible whereas Rome wasn't built in a day .

Please that was the story of the Tower of Babel. That story to any true Christian is not synonymous and can never be equated to the Speaking of Tongues .
While one is a mark of confusion, the other signifies the arrival of the Holy Spirit on earth.
Speaking in tongues is not and would never be an inheritance.

You can defend who you choose to defend but let Tinubu stop quoting what is not from the bible. Nobody likes it.

That’s how they raise the hand of a flag bearer.
This picture doesn’t indicate he couldn’t hold the flag by himself.
By the way, I know you already made up your mind against him no matter how much evidence you have contradicting your stand.
When you know the truth but you hold on to what you know is not true, you are damaging your brain.
It is called cognitive dissonance.

For the case of 'Tinubu is a deep thinker'
Question is, is he the only deep thinker' alive? Don't we have geniuses that speak to us and we understand.
In fact, understanding your crowd and speaking to their level of awareness in itself shows intelligence or the lack of it.
If you have to explain what you mean about a statement you made almost everytime? That one is a problem alone
Because the damages misinterpretation and misconceptions can cause ehn, can go beyond repair
We don't need that now.

But from and for the record(s), Tinubu's recent speeches - the ones he made without reading from a paper o - lacks bearing. Let's not deceive ourselves

So if you can't understand what Tinubu said, then how can you understand when you read Soyinka's book or Omotsey's articles?

I beg you in the name of God, first watch the video before you respond to me, don't take word out of context... This is what Tinubu said below:

"Though tongues and tribes may differ, but in brotherhood we stand"

He continued "it is a pledge that Nigeria, I am ready to serve"

"It is about service to this country"

"We inherited speaking in tongues from the Bible, but our diversity is a promise for Prosperity"


Inherit speaking in tongues, Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, TIV etc from the Bible. Where did God change our tongues? Is it not at Babel in the Bible??

But the issues with you guys is, you believe he's talking about the normal speaking in tongues of holy Spirit...... Open your minds please.

The whole world speaks thesame language before, God change our tongues at Babel ( so we have divers languages.



TONGUES MEANS LANGUAGES!

The bottom line is that the man doesn't even care. He goes about line lion shinning and roaring as if he has no problem. He has left wailers to wail ceaselessly. He doesn't join issue with anybody. If anybody is sweating over him he is cooling off in the best sitting room with breathtaking architectural design and great upholstery with his darling Remi the senator whispering into his ear. God forbid I can't kill myself because of any politician, never, not in this life. Whoever gets there, I shall live

Sadly for you, you have zero business calling other people illiterate when in fact you are illiterate since you are still asking us to explain to you what another man said in plain English.

Some of you really need to head back to elementary school for basic education.
