Tinubu and Atiku go drag second position or third.

Obi all the way.

The Labour of our heroes past, shall never be in vain.

I mean, do we have any excuse not to pay this great man back through voting for him for the fight, and the struggle he went through for this country.



Obi pandora was probably still in school then, trying very hard, cracking his dull head to pass exams in philosophy.

He was voted gov for two terms, Lagos resources is under his control, presently, he is a big stake holder in APC. What else does he want?. No matter how you love your soccer legend in your football club as a fan, once he is due for retirement, he must give way for younger and vibrant players. Remember, so much is demanded from a player than a coach. Tinubu should remain a coach and a mentor.

Emeka, be whatever you feel you can be. Infact you can even claim to be from taiwan. Walahi, i care not.

Just please quit quoting me with your bullcraps.

Idiots like you will never counter his points. BAT that said he doesnt believe in nigeria is suddenly out to lead what he doesnt believe in. Explain that without calling everybody emeka

Nigeria's economy under Abacha was far better than we have now.

Nigeria as a country was far better, in all aspects than now.

Sometimes, the grass in not greener in the distant future but, in where you're coming from...so far as the right persons are manning the right positions.

Abacha terrorized activists but he held sway over the economy.
I wonder, which one is more important to the common man.

Pay him back ? Words like this is why I won't vote him. You want to suffer 200m because you feel you owe 1 man. President position shouldn't be handled like a gift, we paid OBJ back for d civil war and look at what happened

This is why Prof. Wole Soyinka will always support him

OsunOriginal:


Tinubu has paid his dues. Who else deserves to be crowned if not him?
For so long we have been ruled by opportunists. In 2023, we will have the opportunity to install a man who worked and suffered for democracy because he knows what democracy means for the people.

So we should vote him bcus he has paid his dues and its his turn and not bcus he would make nigeria better? Omo una no dey ever get sense because of tribe. If he is going to turn nigeria to london, why doesnt he come on live tv to tell us how it will be done

And a supposed hero of democracy join forces with an illitrate military coup plotter "called buhari" that work under the military government that rub his boss of his mandate of being a democratic elected president in 1993, to fight against his own educated southern brother in 2015. Abi? Because he believe that if he does so, then 2023 will be his turn as the emperor of Lagos wey him be. Una try well well.

U Yorubas taught that you guys are doing the Igbo by voting an illitrate military coup plotter twice to destroy the destroy the country, but go to the UK, Australia, Canada, US and UAE embassies in Nigeria today and see the way the Yorubas has the largest applicants for visa to japa out of the country. After voting buhari to destroy the country, thinking they are doing the Igbos, they are now the ones running to another man's country for a better life.

But nevertheless, wether tinubu and his senseless APC supporters "that has made so many Nigerians lose hope in Nigeria" like it or not, tinubu will never be the president of Nigeria.

The old drug baron called tinubu might later be lucky to be given the honor of GCFR after his death, just like his boss Abiola, only if there happen to be another dumb terrorist president like buhari in Nigeria future. But tinubu will never be Nigeria president.

limeta:






He had his chance of being APC chairman the party that brought in Buhari
Was Buhari not a dictator was Buhari not part of Abacha regime .
Tinubu only knows his interest

They are talking about democracy booda sisi... As in Buhari was democratically elected... If you don't get that enough... I will maintain that Obi supporters are dunce

9jalyte:


Can you just stop it there. It's not everytime that you expect your propaganda to fly. The way you want to dress Tinubu in borrowed robes is funny. He was hero of democracy, how. What some of you don't know is that Tinubu was busy lobbying for Political position with Abacha. I will leave it there.

But for sale of evidence, can you bring any report that showed that Tinubu was declared wanted by Abacha or any public medi come try that was provocative enough to claim hero of democracy.

In all these dishing out of medals, I have not heard anyone mention Humphrey Nwosu, the NEC chairman, who dared IBB and went ahead to declare results. He paid for it, but you will not tell us he deserves a reward.

The people that were here and faced Abacha face to face without running are the heroes. Talk about Alex Ekwueme who was doing his G32 activism in Abuja and not London.
Take it easy with your crafting of narratives.

.

Ekwueme had his time. His moment too. Even against all odd, when power was seeded to the west in 1999. He still went ahead disobediently and contested the primary with OBJ. And Lost.

He had his time, man. Stop turning things upside down. Appreciate a good man.

lhordspy:


Paid enough? How

You should celebrate a courageous man who fought for the betterment of this nation. Isnt it funny, you people take interest in criticising men who stood their ground in the face of tyranny and oppression.

But celebrate, a coward like Ojukwu who ran away, disguise in women wears including pant and bras to cameroon by boat. After he had successfully sacrificed 2million of your people to senseless war.


There is level to this thing.. There is, mr Emeka.

Nobody is paying him back. Tinubu has paid his dues, he is still ready to do more. He is not holding back and asking anyone to pay him back for anything. He presses on and if he wins, fine. He becomes president.

Your fathers were begging for appointments from the military oppressors when these young Yoruba patriots were fighting the military with bare hands then. Because of the belief they had in the enterprise, they succeeded. Your fathers enabled the soldiers in all respects, telling them that they were the best thing that had ever happened to Nigeria. Tinubu singlehandedly established Radio Kudirat and made Fayemi Controller. It didn't start today! He sponsored, encouraged and funded many patriots who fled into exile. Didn't you hear the turncoat Dele Momodu last week when he confessed that Tinubu gave them money? And to think that Tinubu was not yet 40 years old then! When you return home this evening, ask your boastful and shameless Igbo partisans about what Arthur Nzeribe, Uche Chukwumerije, Clement Akpamgbo, Daniel Kanu and many other Igbo killjoys did to Nigeria's democracy. The Igbo deal in expediency all the time. No principles whatsoever! The Igbo have no shame.

After all, when he was fighting for democracy, your own father was nowhere to be found.

This one will be another disaster in office like Buhari. It's just all hype, no substance.

I remember a march for Abacha organised by Kanu and an advert on NTA that ends with 'Whom the cap fits' saying Abacha was the best to be president.

Simply reminiscing. That time was hell for all of us... in exile and back home.

Coded... for obvious reasons.

it was hell for people who were enjoying themselves in far away USA? The real heroes of that era were the ordinary Nigerians who were stuck back home but many still found the courage to demonstrate opposition to the govt, not these idiots who ran away.

RobsonsTARz:
List of the thieves Abacha wanted to kill but they somehow escaped, unlike Obasanjo and other thieves that were jailed.

Obasanjo that was jailed by Abacha was called a thief, and is companions that ran away are now decleared heroes. LOL

isn't that funny? People who were jailed and killed and endured all kinds of treatment from the govt are not called heroes, these opportunists who ran away to go and start writing worthless articles from their comfortable homes in the USA are called heroes.

Nigeria’s Next Leader’s Ties to a Heroin Ring

Former Lagos provincial governor Bola Tinubu, affectionately nicknamed the Jagaban, is today seen as a shrewd if not “deeply Machiavellian” Svengali in Nigeria’s politics as well as the architect of a hugely successful anti-corruption platform. But 20 years ago he had to forfeit nearly half a million dollars to the U.S. Treasury Department after being named as an accomplice in a white heroin-trafficking and money-laundering ring that stretched from West Africa to the U.S. Midwest.

Although his case has been bandied about the Nigerian press for years, Tinubu’s involvement in a federal drug and racketeering investigation waged jointly by the DEA, FBI, and IRS has gone unreported elsewhere, even after his ascendance to Karl Rove-like status last month. A recent gauzy Financial Times profile of him, for instance, neglected to mention that two decades ago Tinubu was identified as a bagman for two Nigerian heroin movers who operated out of Chicago and Hammond, Indiana. They were Adegboyega Mueez Akande and Abiodun Agbele, Akande’s nephew, who was exposed to law enforcement after selling white heroin first to Lee Andrew Edwards, another dealer later jailed for trying to murder a federal agent, and then to an undercover cop.

In a 1993 court docket from the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Illinois, which The Daily Beast obtained from Sahara Reporters, a Nigeria-focused news outlet, IRS Special Agent Kevin Moss said that Akande had run the white heroin ring in the late 1980s until 1990, when he handed off the U.S arm of the business to his nephew, who had arrived in 1988. Akande then returned to Nigeria but continued to oversee the operation from abroad with the help of others at home and in the United States, including his relatives. One of the individuals identified in his cartel by Moss was Tinubu, then a Chicago State University-educated accountant working as a treasurer for Mobil Oil Nigeria Ltd, a subsidiary of energy giant Mobil Oil, which was still a few years shy of its famous merger with Exxon in 1999.

In the biography section of his official website, Tinubu is described as having emigrated to the United States in 1975 “in search of the proverbial Golden Fleece with a heart brimming with unrelenting determination to achieve his visions.” This is certainly one way to describe his tenure stateside.

In 1989, Moss said in an affidavit, Tinubu established an individual money market account, into which he deposited $1,000 in traveler’s checks, and a negotiable order of withdrawal account (NOW) at First Heritage Bank in Country Club Hills, Illinois. The address Tinubu gave the bank was the same as the listed headquarters of Globe-Link International, the front company owned by Akande and his relatives.

“There’s a trend of various Nigerian politicians at the highest levels involved in dodgy business deals around the world, in property and cash.”

Bank employees told Moss that Akande had personally introduced them to Tinubu in December 1989 when who also opened a joint checking account with his wife, Oluremi Tinubu, who already kept a joint account with Akande’s wife at First Heritage. Five days after the NOW account was opened, $80,000 was wired into it from a bank in Houston maintained by one of Akande’s relatives. Tinubu would later use the NOW account to buy a $10,000 Certificate of Deposit for an $8,000 car loan, listing Akande as his cousin on the application.

At the time, Tinubu’s take home as a Mobil Oil Nigeria executive was a mere $2,400 a month and he claimed not to have any other revenue streams. Yet he still managed to deposit $661,000 into his individual money market account in 1990 and then another $1,216,500 a year later. He also opened more accounts with Citibank in its worldwide personal banking unit, transferring over half a million dollars from his First Heritage money market account into one of them in early 1991.

Mobil Oil Nigeria told Moss that Tinubu’s role at the company never involved transferring large sums of money between banks and that it didn’t keep deposits in any institutions in the south suburbs of Chicago, where First Heritage was based. Moreover, although Tinubu moved back to Nigeria in 1983, he neglected to file U.S. income tax returns after 1984 despite having sizable, interest-generating deposits in American banks. All of this was enough to persuade a magistrate judge of the Northern District to issue seizure warrants for Tinubu’s First Heritage and Citibank accounts. Collectively, more than $1.4 million belonging to the Nigerian was confiscated.

Except for the 1s paragraph, you said very well and i can't agree less. That guy HUMPHRY NWOSU. may GOD bless him forever. The best hero Nigeria ever had. Ever. Faced military tyranny when there was no one that could have saved him. I wonder what he went through. I wonder where he is today. If he'd contested, i would have voted him against Tinubu and not one small boy who was doing yahoo yahoo then now called obi.
