The lady was crying for help. She desperately needs help to make a sense of the purpose in her life. Suicide candidates usually do not talk, do not give chance to be talked to, and do not wish to be engaged in conversations in the process. Most people we daily meet on the streets are clinically depressed.

We can come to the conclusion that she has issues that confound her life. Little wonder if one considers what ordinary Nigerians are experiencing today. The situation politicians have thrown the country into has created an army of mentally ill individuals in a dimension never seen in this country before.

Unfortunately, there's no end in sight.

Not surprised at all

Probability of the Cause of the attempted suicide in percentage %
1. Relationship gone wrong = 14%
2. Family problem = 6%
3. School problem = 11%
4. Urgent 2k problem = 3%
5. Buhari = 66%

It's most likely no. 5

The same Tinubu actually paved the way for igbo people to fully participate in everything in Lagos state from economic to political, administrative and social cultural activities.

Igbo people are the top presenters at Tinubu's TVC.


There are a million and one ways to secure your place at the table, but hostage taking, blackmail, tribalism, bigotry and denigration should not be your go to and default tools, unfortunately, many Igbo people don't think, they don't strategize intelligently, they just go for what they know and what their society told them and nurtured them to always pick as their main defaults, tribalism, bigotry, blackmail and other people are out to get us paranoia syndrome.

Sadly, you can not blackmail Tinubu because he did more for igbo people than your own igbo leaders.

It's even sad that this anambra son person is peddling this disgusting, crass and odious nonsense in 2022.

One man was supposedly assailed, and you went on to assault and denigrate an entire nationality. And this is your definition of thinking and strategizing intelligently?.

What you're engaging in is bad marketing. You can propagate your candidate without engaging in the confirmation of that which his supporters are already known for.

You're within your rights to fight your battles with your fellow nairaland combatants, but Ahmed Tinubu is surely not the Yoruba race, and an attack on him is not an attack of Yorubas that all Igbo's are to become cerebral challenged.

Our people are not critical thinkers. We do not go as deep as we should when we analyze situations and scenarios. The reason Atiku has remained a perpetual contestant is the mass perception of him as a corrupt individual. Obasanjo his boss told them so.

Tinubu is in the same boat, only worse because even those who sing his praises only do so for pecuniary reasons. Most Nigerians see Tinubu as a morbidly corrupt and selfish individual.

Nairaland is own by a Nigerian, IJEBU man to be precise so don't expect anything of such.

Incentivizing and monetizing content will double Nairalands base membership and reach within 5 years. More ad hits, therefore more revenue and profit at the end of the day even if you have to part with some of it.

It is foolish to not toe this tested track already.

The only people who are afraid of this very competent administrator are Tinubu and Osinbajo disciples.

They know him very well. They know he has credibility, goodwill, and is capable of shredding the aspirations of their principals, therefore, are very preemptive in their attempts to tear him down.

I have a feeling they will fail.

TheRareGem1:
This man, Sowore is the most unserious person in Nigeria, you started a fake course in disguise because you wanted to contest for presidency, you didn't get up to 20 votes and you started with "Buhari Must Go". after you didn't win, isnt that a treason?. But we are not ready to have that conversation.

Now Osinbajo is your problem, have you changed your cheap weed seller again?

Another Tinubu urchin spotted.

Jostoman:
So how does that affect your life oga? Some of you people are just on nairaland like a robot typing nonsense on every sensitive issue.

What is sensitive about two closet olosho publicly disgracing themselves?.

What really happened to fashola?? He seemed so intelligent when he was governor

Buhari happened to him.
That herdsman is contagious.

Until we collectively give fulanis in Nigeria the Central African Republic (CAR) treatment, we will never sleep with both eyes shut.

Bucky001:
Tinubu has absolutely nothing to offer this nation other than to fulfill his long time ambition of becoming the President

He shouldn't be given the mandate!

Which mandate. Is he owed any mandate?.

seunmsg:
Just say you’re Igbo and you support Atiku to continue the northern rule. Stop being a lily-livered coward like Peter Obi Pandora.

Some of you are a huge disgrace to the otherwise well-mannered and culturally well-behaved Yorubas. Why would you use the above expletives to describe a man whom you know from nowhere?. What does this speak about you?.

In other words saint Abdulsalami Abubarkar, you only supervised the peaceful demise of the man on whose popular mandate you shamelessly sat on?.

As a military ruler, a dictator therefore, could you have simply ordered his release or house arrest?.

WATCHOVER:
Please with due respect am not from the East OK my opinion is for a balanced power rotation, I would have preferred the North Central but they have weak political base in this 4th republic, the west would be selfish if they eye 2023 having enjoyed complete 8yrs.
This is my own opinion thank you

They promptly silenced the only opposing and audible voice from North Central, therefore effectively silencing the people of that region when they took out Obdia Mai Lafia.

If you are a politician, this is a good time to divorce tea and apple.

aribisala0:
The charges are funny but the issue of done in Nigeria a none issue whether it is Kanu or not
You do not have to be physically in a country when alleged offences of terrorism , conspiracy are committed

1. The allegations have to do with incitement via broadcasts that were on the internet and available in Nigeria. Any alleged offence committed on the internet is international
2. There are so many cases of people being extradited for terrorism with regard to 9/11 who had never set foot in the US. Osama Bin laden was not in America neither were many alleged accomplices

3. Hushpuppie's alleged offences were committed in Dubai with impact in the US

You can be extradited for online 419 scams

Not wanting to look like I have eyes set on you, and I don't, but you're factually wrong. The problem I see with we Nigerians is that we make emotional arguments. Correct as that may appear to our reasoning, unfortunately, has no basis in law, which brings me to the issue of jurisdiction.

1. While the internet has a worldwide reach, there is no such thing as a world court. What this means is that a particular jurisdiction must appear to be competent for the purpose of prosecution. The particular properties of the infraction charged must clearly convey the said competence in its nature. Therefore, mere utterance even if through the internet as you avered, and to which you have no conclusive proof to have been the case, and even if that were to be factual, will not suffice in this case.

2. Have you ever wondered why the 911 suspects were held in Guantanamo bay?. Guantanamo Bay is in Cuba mind you. The island is only leased to the united states and is not a part of the US. Here, we are still dealing with jurisdiction. If all those detainees were to be incarcerated in a US penitentiary, the world would have seen a flood of acquittals or dismissals precisely on the grounds of jurisdiction or, and rendition.

US has jurisdiction because although the crimes were committed in Dubai, some of the victims are either US residents or citizens. This is without prejudice to other jurisdictions that may want to prosecute hush in the aftermath. The same goes for Mr fashion designer Kyari.

The above should answer to why some of our yahoo boys booked a free flight to the US, visa-free with full FBI escorts. Feel me?.

aribisala0:
I must say I am disappointed with the quality of legal counsel for the FG.

That was a totally inappropriate remark and I wonder if it is not contempt of court.
The right place to talk about that is inside the court room and not whipping up sentiments in the press.
Of course I am not a Kanu sympathizer but I want to see the right thing done. I believe( my opinion) that some of his utterances constitute hate speech and are therefore criminal .I also believe he made remarks encouraging criminal violence. That should all be argued in court not on TV
I do not think the prosecution is the best quality

Good points there. But I beg to disagree with regard to your opinion on what constitutes criminality and hate speech. Kanu encouraged his people to defend themselves against a band of marauding killers who were raping women old and young. Kidnapping for ransom, and mass-murdering his people. The people they are victimizing did nothing to them. No war was declared.

What exactly was he supposed to do or say?. How does the need to save the very life you live constitute criminality and hate?. Assumed infringements must also offset mitigating circumstances. Should we now conclude that a government is right to masquerade under whatever pretense to annihilate those it does not like because they hold executive power?.

We have seen this same script play out elsewhere. Remember the people of Darfur and the Janjaweeed?. Until Miyetti Alla, Gan Alla, and their numerous colorations stand proscribed, and on trial in a properly constituted law court, Onyendu Nnamdi Kanu is an innocent man and should be sent home to his wife and children immediately.

Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State was at the Old Government Lodge at GRA, Enugu, recently, on inspection tour of the multiple ongoing projects being executed by his administration in keeping with its cost-saving stance in governance, and efforts at reinvigorating the leading status of Enugu as the historic capital of the South East geo-political zone of Nigeria.

The ongoing projects inspected by the governor at the Old Government Lodge include the 600-seater state-of-the-art Banquet Hall with basement offices, meeting rooms and retaining walls, among other facilities; the remodeled Old Government Lodge with a newly constructed Annex (completed); 10 units of Executive Guest Houses and 24 units of Guest Flats with a Dining Hall, for routine guests of the state government; a standard Lawn Tennis Court for physical exercise, fitted with a pavilion for spectators and lighting facilities; and landscaping works at the site, among others.

Question for you Louis. How does any of this benefit Ndi Enu-ugwu?.

And you're hired for the purpose of showcasing the basic functions of a state organ on social media, which means you cost Ndi Enu-ugwu avoidable expenses.

If this must be spelled out, can I inform you that what the people really need are citizen-centric projects. One that directly impacts their lives on a daily basis seeing as Ndi Enu-ugwu are really roughing it out even as we speak.

Not interested in your ipob rubbish..

I know you're too fanatic and foolish to listen or heed opposing counsel. But reasonable people will want to read the opinions of Festus Adedayo. I'm sure he is Ipob. Read below:

https://www.thecable.ng/why-bola-tinubu-must-never-be-nigerias-president

So I was at the governor’s office in Alausa, Lagos. Accessing the governor was like seeking a needle in a haystack. His press secretary sent words up that an irritant interloper had come to ferret response to a newsmagazine’s damming expose on the governor. After hours of waiting, a commissioner (names withheld) sauntered in and met me where I sat immovably like Mount Kilimanjaro. “You can’t write that story,” he began in a steely voice sauced with veiled threats. “Go back to Ibadan. We will talk to your boss.” That was how the story never saw the light of the day.

The Nigerian Tribune, of which I was its features editor during this period, had sent me in pursuit of the facts or fiction surrounding the newsmagazine report. The principal of that ancient school, Government College Ibadan, (GCI) at the time had suddenly gone AWOL, incommunicado and inaccessible as the proverbial excrement of the masquerade. Grapevines alleged that Lam Adesina, then governor of Oyo state, had ordered that all data of the school’s attendees between the period of Bola Tinubu’s claim of attendance of GCI be brought to him in the government house, where they were brought under governmental lock and key. The media that was seeking corroboration or the antonym of the claims, went after the GCI principal. He had disappeared into thin air. Perhaps, a one-on-one interview with the governor would do?

In 1999, one Waliu Balogun wrote a petition against Tinubu leveling a number of damning allegations that bordered on fraudulent claims of educational attainments. Among other things, he accused Tinubu of lying in an affidavit attached to his Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC) form that he lost his degree certificates while he was in exile between 1994 and 1998. The newsmagazine later published those details in a gripping expose which left a sour taste in the mouth.

One after the other, all Tinubu’s claims, sworn to under oath in the Form CF001 he filled with INEC were shredded to smithereens by the magazine’s story. St. Paul’s School, Aroloya, Lagos, which he claimed to have attended, the magazine said its investigative reporting found never existed just as his name was conspicuously missing from the records of the Government College, Ibadan which he claimed to have attended between 1965 and 1968. Indeed, GCI’s alumni association, the Old Boys of the school, debunked the claim. So also was Tinubu’s claim that he attended Richard Daley College, Chicago, between 1969 and 1971. Punctured also were the governor’s claims of having attended the University of Chicago in the US between 1972 and 1976, as well as obtaining a BSc degree in economics from the university. A request to those institutions for affirmation of Tinubu’s studentship by the magazine was a resounding No. Till date, in spite of his having vanquished the legal principalities spearheaded by Gani Fawehinmi (SAN), with the supreme court voiding Fawehinmi on technical grounds, none of Tinubu’s classmates, schoolmates, or even teachers, has come out in public to counter the facts of the legal behemoth erected against him.


Four years later, in 2003, it was time for Tinubu to fill the Form CF001 again, in pursuit of his second term bid. His enemies who were waiting for him to make those claims again were dazed when they saw what the governor filled. In all the columns, the gentleman simply filled ‘Not Applicable’. Primary School: Not Applicable; Secondary School: Not Applicable; and University: Not Applicable. Could that have meant that the man never attended any school?

Tinubu was not alone. Rife as expectations were from the new-found Nigerian Republic in 1999, like alligators, renowned for incredible nasal power of smelling a drop of blood even in ten gallons of water, Nigerians smelled crises in the cache of scandals that involved newly elected officeholders of the republic. Less than three months after the commencement of the Fourth Republic, Nigeria began to manifest noticeable cracks. It took political scientists and students of Marxian dialectics to allay our fears and tell us that those cracks were curative, self-correctional, and akin to the Marxist theory of thesis and antithesis which, when they jam, produce a synthesis.

In quick successions of messy, damming scandals, speaker of the house of representatives, Salisu Buhari, senate president Evan(s) Enwerem, and Bola Tinubu got entangled in seismic, roiling scandals of identity misappropriation, subversion of their oaths of office, and perversion of truth. While the latter two were swept away by the typhoon of the crises, Tinubu not only survived the wire mesh, to spite the allegations, he is, today, one of the top three most consequential, powerful Nigerians alive and a presidential office aspirant to boot.


Salisu Buhari, the affable and young speaker of the lower parliament had just been unraveled by the media as an age inflator and certificate forger. Hitherto, a Kano-based businessman, Buhari shuttled into politics but two weeks into being in office, the rested news magazine, TheNews, in its February 16, 1999 edition, published details of his age and certificate forgery. The magazine wrote that he was actually born in 1970 and not 1963 as he claimed.

Again, TheNews put a lie to Buhari’s claim of having graduated from the University of Toronto, stating that he not only never attended the school, but the mandatory youth service he claimed to have undergone at the Standard Construction in Kano was also a ruse. On July 23, 1999, like a rain-soaked squirrel, Buhari was contrite, disgraced, and admitted all the allegations. “I apologize to you. I apologize to the nation. I apologize to my family and friends for all the distress I have caused them. I was misled in error by a zeal to serve the nation, I hope the nation will forgive me and give me the opportunity to serve again,” he murmured as he resigned from the house. He was subsequently convicted of certificate forgery, sentenced to two years in prison but later got pardoned by President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Senate president, Evan Enwerem, was to kiss the canvass a little while after. In the race for the senate presidency, he had sidestepped his closest sprinter rival for the office, Chuba Okadigbo, by 66 to 43 votes. Shortly after his ascension in 1999, Enwerem was shoved into the sieve, scrutinised on allegation of identity opacity. He was held up on the fire-spitting wire gauze for falsification of his name. A ball-fire of controversy erupted on whether Enwerem’s real name was Evan or Evans. In the melee, on November 18, 1999, his ouster, spearheaded by Okadigbo and his allies, became a fait accompli.

Between his consequential emergence on the political turf of Nigeria in 1999 and now, only an armchair, analytical yokel will underrate or belittle Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s awesome and colonising genius in Nigerian politics. He became so consequential that some translucent analyses compare him to the sage, Obafemi Awolowo. It will appear that immediately he got away from the drowning tidal waves of that identity theft legal tango and the lacerating fisticuffs of his numerous political adversaries, Tinubu tightened his muscles on the political levers of Lagos, a state which had always been the microcosm of Nigeria since it became the federal capital of independent Nigeria in 1960. He saw how the almighty power of the media, like a mammoth whale, almost succeeded in capsizing his ship of state and political career.


Rising from the ashes of the crises, Tinubu encircled his claw-like fists on the media, meandering himself into its total corpus and essentialising himself in its operations. While English crime thriller writer, René Lodge Brabazon Raymond, popularly known as James Hadley Chase, says that fear opens the wallets of the rich, Tinubu’s street chemistry, which he deploys, says that licit and illicit favours, prebends and perks imprison consciences and arrest captives faster than glue gum traps mice. Unconscionably, Tinubu waves these aces with the magisterial clinicality of a professional executioner, succeeding in the process of harvesting a huge political, media, government, judicial, corporate, etcetera clienteles inside his massive pouch.

The truth is that, since 1960, seldom has Nigeria had a political aficionado who deployed the genius of the streets in the service of politics as Bola Tinubu. Scarcely can anybody have the mis/fortune of encountering him without becoming a captive of his cash influence. Someone once said that even the god of Mammon would be envious of Tinubu’s sagacity in deploying its monetary weapon.

Within the span of his Lagos governorship of eight years, from someone who those who knew him said was passably well-to-do, Tinubu grew a monstrous wealth, such that a 2015 back page opinion piece in the Sun newspaper claimed he owned almost half of Lagos and urged Buhari to clone the Vladimir Putin method with which the Russian president neutralised drug czars who funded his presidential emergence. Within this period, Tinubu also acquired a humongous political influence in Lagos and outside of it that could rank that of Pharaohs and emperors of old. In 2007, an ex-governor, who witnessed the miasma of power flakes encircling him as he arrived at the Lagos airport, jealously told me that it was godlike.

Superficial analyses of Tinubu claim that his vice-hold grips on Lagos can be found in his ability to recreate and “build” persons in state and national offices, as well as sustaining a linear pattern of succession. This, such analysts claim, reflects his sagacity. Those who know the modus operandi of this power retention system machine however put a lie to it. To them, deep underneath it is an opaque, yet fastidiously maintained and pervasively sustained mega corruption and perpetuation of self hegemony by a carefully mastered mind coercion that is promoted by a cultic abidance to an oath of allegiance.


Those who see Tinubu’s strength in his fluid recruitment of aides should also be able to answer why he suffers huge casualties of his investment in such persons? Could it be that he uses them as indentured viceroys? Or that the rebellion we see from them is an attempt to set themselves free of his hold? From Babatunde Fashola, Muiz Banire, Akinwumi Ambode to his erstwhile lickspittle, Rauf Aregbesola, and many others, there must be a single thread that unifies Tinubu’s foot soldiers’ rebellion against him. Unfortunately for Tinubu, this same set of soldiers, knowing the secrets of the sustenance of their power machine, are today against his emergence as Nigeria’s president and will willingly supply the fire that will incinerate his ambition. In Yorubaland today, apart from Lagos and Osun states, which APC governor can Tinubu claim to be under him?

If nothing else, the controversy provoked by Chief Bisi Akande’s ‘My Participations’ unraveled the mythic notion that Tinubu promotes his aides to the top for the love of country. Back and forth arguments, especially on Vice President Yemi Osinbajo’s nomination in 2015, revealed that not only is the Lagos landlord obsessed with self alone, but the ascension of others in his loop is also secondary and is subordinated to personal interest. The world saw that Tinubu grudgingly acceded to Osinbajo’s candidacy only when his personal interest hit the rocks.


Last week, however, Bola Tinubu paid a visit to President Muhammadu Buhari, a few hours after the latter granted an incoherent interview where he claimed that if he named his successor, the fellow could be assassinated. A content analysis of the president’s statement must have revealed to Tinubu that he could never have been the one Buhari was referring to. Tinubu must know that Buhari knows that a plan to murder Death would be easier done than assassinating Nigeria’s Mafia don, the Capo dei Capi himself.

The most mis-recommending criterion against a Tinubu presidency is that, in mental depth, the Lagos Landlord is just a whiff higher than Muhammadu Buhari. Remove the Cockney accent he feebly mimics, you will find out that most times, his extempore speeches lack coherence, logic, and verve.


Counter arguments have been proffered against the school of thought that says that Tinubu’s ultra-stupendous wealth should not recommend him against vying for the Nigerian presidency. You will recollect that the military apparatchik argued along this line against an MKO Abiola presidency. Abiola, they said, was as wealthy as to grant Nigeria loans. Weak as the argument was, it is strong in Tinubu’s disfavor for its moral and deleterious implications. While the world knew that Abiola’s wealth was procured from international dealings, especially in ITT, Tinubu is said to own a pie in virtually every sector of Nigeria’s economy, ranging from oil, steel, finance (tax), airline, real estate, media, you name it. These are funded in the names of shells and proxies. In all these, as the Americans say, we can see the bucks but not the shop. What morality will Nigeria be preaching by having a president of such opaque composition and disposition?

Whether real or imagined, it is said that the only thing that is real about Tinubu is his person and that every other ascription on him is a borrowed robe. He has not come in the open to effectively disclaim the allegation that his name is not his name; that the parents he claimed were not his; that the certificates he claimed to be his are not and that the schools he claimed to have attended didn’t know him. I don’t know a baggage huger than this for a country like Nigeria that is struggling to sell herself to the world to now have its president burdened by this pernicious pedigree.

With the calamity that the Buhari presidency has posed to Nigeria, it will be more calamitous to have a Tinubu as his successor. Governing Nigeria is not all about identifying surrogates who will man critical political offices for future political gains. Nigeria needs a cerebral, healthy, comparatively morally overboard president, a man, borrowing from Oscar Wilde’s description of his gay partner friend, Sir Alfred Douglas in De Profundis, who is not a man for whom the gutter and all that is in it fascinates.

One would have expected Tinubu to heed the counsel of Apala music icon, Ayinla Omowura. Omowura must have had in mind leaders who are heavy-laden, burdened by the baggage of their past, when he counseled that, as all shrubs and leaves in the forest should not be the predilection of a herbalist seeking curative herbs; not all palm trees in the forest should excite the palm-wine tapper either. In Yoruba, he expressed this as, “gbogbo ewe ko l’ojawe nja; gbogbo ope ko l’onigba ngun”. Sagacious leaders who carry stupendous moral baggage of the Tinubu hue should know the forests they should venture into.

The forests of presidential contest that the Lagos Landlord is about to venture into is what same Omowura, in his vinyl, referred to as “igbo odaju” – the forest of the heartless, the carapace-hard heart hunters. Anyone who does not have the benefit of a real mother – a real mother’s prayers are like magic, steeped in mystical and metaphysical powers. Anyone, said Omowura, who does not have a real mother who can provide witchcraft protection for them, should not venture into the igbo odaju. Never! Abraham Lincoln, the father of the American nation, also alluded to this when he said, “I remember my mother’s prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life”.

Some Yoruba lament what they call the predilection of Yoruba in pulling themselves down. This piece would be their perfect example. It is thinking like this that has condemned Nigeria to stagnation. The truth is, Yoruba are very proud of their pedigree and wear it like a lapel on their sleeves. So how can the same Yoruba who have preached moral uprightness to the rest of the world for centuries, now queue behind a man who cannot point his right hand at his father’s homestead? Let the rest of Nigeria be rotten eggs. Yoruba will still underscore societal purity. It should gladden us that Yoruba are the ones revealing the maggots in their home so that when they expose others’ maggots, they will occupy the higher moral ground. It is better for Yoruba not to lift a presidential leg forward than lift one that is riddled with a festering and putrid sore. In any case, what Nigeria needs is a president that is a leader who is not crippled by ill health and is adequately schooled in the nuances of 21st-century solutions to our self-inflicted, existential challenges.

Since independence in 1960, six ‘major’ Yoruba sons have attempted a shot at Nigeria’s civilian presidency (excluding fringe aspirants of the Babangida political guinea-pig era). They are Obafemi Awolowo, Lateef Jakande, MKO Abiola, Bola Ige, Olu Falae, and Olusegun Obasanjo. If Tinubu carries through his recent declaration, he will be joining this pantheon. Of this lot, Tinubu would be the only one whose pedigree is shrouded in a miasma of dubiety.

Yoruba will totally support Tinubu in his presidency dream if he agrees to fill in the INEC forms all those claims he made of his roots in 1999. He must fill in the 2023 Form CF001 St. Paul’s School, Aroloya, Lagos, as his primary school; Government College, Ibadan; Richard Daley College, Chicago and the University of Chicago as his alma maters, without Tokunbo Afikuyomi swearing on oath that he filled them for him by proxy.

I'm 100% sure they won't put a gun to your head or force you to accept any free form, but the millions of poor Nigerians all over Nigeria in need of such relief are entitled to such relief.

If you are rich and in no need for such gestures, just say so instead of talking rubbish against proposals to help the same poor people you hypocrites say you care so much about.

Btw, Tinubu did the same thing as the governor of Lagos and I still don't see millions of parents in Lagos saying it was a bad idea.

Say your contradictions and hypocrisy for you and your negative kind because it's obvious that you care less about poor people, you just hate Tinubu.

I do hate thieves and drug dealers, a category your man squarely fits in, and I definitely do not want anyone with the pedigree as is the case in point here as president of anywhere. Hell maybe.

Tinubu is not qualified to be Nigeria's president and you can relate with this very reality however it suits you.

Just the same lame, irrelevant and unintelligent rubbish.

The man offered to help Nigerians pay WAEC fees, and you ignorantly think they asked you to clap for Tinubu?

Saying you won't accept the help would have sufficed instead of the silly and pointless hateful and bitter essay that offers zero help to Nigerians in need of such help, especially paying for WAEC forms.

Keep quiet abeg..

Since you're amenable to uncouth language, however, I'm not persuaded to match your stupidity in equal terms. For starters, Ogundele alias Ahmed Tinubu can pay all that he allegedly promised without attaching any condition if he chose to practice reciprocal altruism.

If he did say the words that are being attributed to him, and by implication has chosen to politicize and thumb his nose at Nigerians, this will serve to alienate him from anyone who is not one of his urchins as you obviously are.

To come here and insult people on behalf of a despicably corrupt individual such as in discussion confirms you as a person deserving of immense pity, and these will be my parting words to you.

adelaja70:
OK.. Thanks for the shalaye. Who's your candidate?

Ogundele alias Tinubu.

NGpatriot:
Education is the foundation of our destiny and vehicle to prosperity and good quality of life, many parents can not even afford these forms and they are obstacles in many households, taking this small burden away is a game changer and an opportunity for many students to cross that finish line.

If you have any objection or dislike the idea of the government paying for WAEC forms and paraphernalia, you have every right under the sun to refuse or reject the offer because you can afford it and paying for such forms is not a problem in your household, but you can not speak for millions of families all over Nigeria. One man's food is another man's poison, what's priority in your household is not a priority in other people's household.

The bitter, shorghtsithed and thoughtless idea that we must reject everything no matter what is very sickening, this is a sad and disgusting disease of when they do, you object and complain, when they don't, you still object and complain, some people just think they must occupy the news space for their own selfish and self-promotion not knowing how backward and counterproductive they sound.

These clout chasing noisemakers need to start speaking for themselves instead of shouting and making their silly and pointless political noise that can not help the average Nigerian in any way, it is not by force to criticize.

These characters just shout and reject everything no matter what, but they lack ideas, they don't have solutions, they are not creative or even interested in any solution.

They say they are the leaders of tomorrow, but educating and helping the leaders of tomorrow to get ahead is still a bad thing to do, we must kill all the terrorists first, we must put water in every tap in Nigeria before we help our children to get ahead.

It's like saying children must not go to school until we tackle all the problems in the world.

Many of these backward thinking and low mentality idiots are the same kind of worthless leaders they cry and shout every day that they don't want.

This is just too sad and pathetic.

What's your point exactly?.

That Nigerians should clap for a man for promising to pay basic entrance examination for their children with money evidently stolen from them anyway?.

That this same politics of the 1980s that already failed us should be revitalized and made trendy again so we will continue to retrogress in a circle?.

C'mon bro, I know you guys will do anything for Tinubu's self-acclaimed life ambition, but we must not all share in this vision of doom. A Nigerian president should not play poverty politics. This man is already sharing recharge cards, rice, cooking oil, and now Waec fees. What's next?.

These are policy decisions that ought to be sorted at the governmental level, and that should have been done a long time ago if Nigeria was a functional and equitable society. But your man chose to highlight a sore point for most poor families in this country, then play politics with it.

This is a man who wants to take this country's people further?. Is this how we are going to transit into a modern society?. Now, how is he paying for what he is giving away currently?. Are you guys this cerebral retarded?.

Ogundele alias Ahmed Tinubu is corruption and backwardness personified. He honestly lacks the energy, his name is soiled in graft and narcotics criminality and he will be blackmailed as president against our collective interests by western countries who have dossiers on him in regards to his various criminal activities in the past.

Nigerians don't need this man as president, have nothing to gain from him but everything to lose, and this country definitely does not owe him any selfish ambition.

You see what igbo people are doing online. I guess no ugly politicans in his region.

Looks like I see that small girl's husband. Is he still Hausa?.

....we know you all are preparing to support the same fulanis you are calling all sort of names now......we know you have no shame and will look for another foolish reason for your deciding to vote a fulani man over your own kinsman.
Hope you know that guy is a Cameroonian....... change of name doesnt disqualify you from becoming president.....but not being a nigerian disqualifies you......
Time will tell

That didn't take long did it?.

Relax bro, Ogundele cannot steal us dry jor. He needs to settle with that dude he cheated out of pockets though, lest his dirty undies will be further laundered in full glare.

As for Aso rock, that's DOA for him.

Period!.
