Like Tinubu, Like Coriolanus. A Lesson For Future Politicians by Emilokan1(m): 10:03am On Sep 22, 2022
In 48 Laws of Power, Robert Green says, “When you are trying to impress people with words, the more you say, the more common you appear… The more you say, the more likely you are to say something foolish.

He illustrates how verbosity demystifies leaders and makes them lose influence through the story of Coriolanus, a military hero of ancient Rome. The respected warrior chose to run for political office after winning many battles. After launching his political career, he spoke at rallies, displaying his scars from battle and creating a huge impression on the people. So much so that everyone thought his election was a foregone conclusion. Things changed on election day when he held a huge rally and started bragging about all he did for the empire and how he was sure of victory. This affected the electorate’s estimation of his candidacy, and he lost his election.

Nigerians need little talk from those who seek office in 2023. It’s a difficult time in the country’s history, so bragging about past accomplishments, verified or not, is unnecessary. What Nigerians ask for is a roadmap on how to solve the most basic problems they contend with. How every Nigerian will feel like a part of the country, how everyone will feel secure, how all children will go to school, receive health care and hope for the future. Politicians should know that we don’t need a lot of words or illustrations to convey the message of hope.

Original title is, 'Kashim Shettima and Tinubu’s ruthlessness'

Tinubu will be worse than Buhar. Hear him, "I will provide my manifestos after elections". Where is that seen?

The most selfish, self conceited, and entitled of the candidates is tinubu. The air of desperation around him is repugnant with stench. How did we get here?

I wonder what is going on in the minds of tinubu's supporters. How a reasonable creation of Almighty God, will endorse a sick man, with a track record for massive pilfering, and stealing. A man shrouded in secrecy. From his parebtal lineage to educational qualifications. It hurts the mind trying to figure out these set of losers . If truly they exist,then this country is really messed on a massive scale .
