Loots. When you steal yanfuyanfu and willing to give out some to ever ready otimpkus in nigeria who will go all out to retain the pitiance they get, you will become notoriously powerful.

The only thing nigerians respect is money, they dont care whether it's spat out by a fire spitting dragon like Tinubu

The more a politician steals in nigeria, the more powerful he becomes

ladychoice: Why is tinubu so powerful?
Because Tinubu and all his political figures have proven to be an example of the 21st century politician. PDP practises politics of 18th century whr democracy was not a factor!for example, king Henry rules so king henry and al his family members and attachees tak a final decision over d pple regardless of what they think. Tinubu has not only proven to move with time and modernization but
To b d beta politician.
Politics is a game! All politicians are corrupt! You av to learn corruption b4 you even start any political career. Pdp corruption dosent care wat d pple fink, whereas tinubu and his puppies av prooven over and over to get the job done. Most nigerians don't reli care if a postion of an allocation is stolen, wat we care about is dat wat d money was allocated for was done and finished. And ACN has proven dat oveer and over. Am not saying dat d ACN politicians arent corrupt oo, dey r infact indeed very corrupt but dey get the job done which is the most important factor in dis struggle for power btw pdp and acn. Its all come down to dis 'what political party has d interest of the pple as part of their political agenda?' Who gets d job done?

Well-said. What you have highlighted are the reasons some of us support the ACN. Personally, I think many Nigerians are innately dishonest people. Non more so than the crowd on this forum. We are all seeking saintly messiahs yet how many go a day insisting they won't pay bribe anywhere? How many survive in Nigeria without 'working the system'?

If you cannot answer in the affirmative then why expect any politician to be a saint given what Nigerian politics is and the reality of the environment they operate in? Our Nation cannot be what its people have not evolved to be !!! For now, it is simply about the lesser devil. The ACN is that by far and Tinubu is simply , comparatively, one of the best forces for good in Nigerian politics.

Funny Tinubu gets so much hypocritical flak, even as I know it is envy behind it, when IBB institutionalized corruption and warped the mentality of Nigerians for good. The concept of "get rich quick" plus stealing and cheating others blind created a generation of corrupt politicians and young Nigerians 419ners who think it is 'cool' to get paid causing misery. OBJ, 3 times, gave us the least competent and most ruinous hands available in the form of Shagari, Yar Adua and now GEJ. OBJ single-handedly sabotaged Nigeria callously at many stages in his controversial life. Odili helped immensely to create militancy. Some evil politicians are now funding what will ultimately destroy Nigeria and turn it to Somalia i.e Boko Haram.

What of Anenih who ate all the money in one fell swoop and did not even deliver one kilometre of road for the huge amount he received to revamp our road infrastructure. Nigerians are dying like Chicken because of Anenihs "steal it all and give nothing" thievery. Comical it is Tinubu always on the lips of some when such evil and no-good ruinous characters totally dominate Nigerian politics. This is one reason why Nigeria is going nowhere. I.e followers who focus on the wrong thing and fight the wrong people.

It is like 9ice said in Gbamu Gbamu. "Oro mi jo bi owe, ologbon lo le ye.
