There is nothing wrong with godfatherism if you get somebody with a vision to lead based on his/her track records. You have to work harder and earn people's trust before you can become godfather. There were many governors in Nigeria during Jagaban reign that got expired even before their tenures ended because people were not too convinced about their leaderships.

If you work in an organization where you remain hardworking, honest, dedicated and earn the trust of your employer. The day you want to leave that company, the management can approach you to help them look for somebody that is dependable and hardworking that can replace you because getting his/her type is rare.

Getting somebody for that organization earns you more respect and automatically installs you as godfather to new employee. If anything goes wrong with the new employee, management will inform you about somebody you brought and if everything is right, management can consult you to help them search again.

This is the kind of what happen to Jagaban, nobody is a slave to anybody because power to accept or reject is in people. Lagos remains a template today to all states in Nigeria and not Edo because of vision and hardwork of purposeful godfatherism otherwise everything would have been in disarray like other states.

Can south east or south south dictates to south west on type of politics to play? No, because, there has never been any good template yet that south west can borrow or adopt from South East. There leaders are always in disarray. Okorocha left governorship position another one came and distroyed most of what he built with tax payers money(Not yet Finish...)

Tumbulum:
So a drug baron is the godfather that built Lagos? Did he build it by shining brown teeth. Abeg make una park well since una chop defeat, you all are crying all over internet and writing rubbish.
For your information Lagos was build from federal wealth,has all the sea port concentrated there,has most international flight landing there and so many other things that made Lagos a centre of excellence. It has one of the highest igr courtesy of many business that are sited there.
Naturally Lagos has the advantage over every other state in Nigeria due to the deep seas it has. It did not become great because of a drug Baron,it became a great state because Nigerians like me and you built it.
A godfather that does not have principles is the most wortless godfather. Iyamu a former PDP member and who tagged evil and called unprintable names is who a Tinubu is supporting to take over a state.
I spit on your godfather cum drug Baron. He has continued to steal the collective resources of Lagos through his proxies he plants as Governors of Lagos.

lekki1444:
thanks to the visionary godfathers who lobbied the federal government to have these things installed in lagos. The awolowos etc. Lagos is a shinning example of what godfatherism can create

Tumbulum:
no fucking visionary father lobbied for anything. Its simply makes sense for anyone wanting to build a sea port in Nigeria to build it in Lagos cos of the natural advantage ie a deep sea with few kilometers to the ocean. Secondly it was a preferred place for our colonial masters, so the development did not start today,it has been like that from the beginning.
No godfather made it so. Natural advantage, colonial masters,collective effort of Nigerians, made Lagos what it is today. Tinubu only came back having abandoned his hard drug business in Chicago to come back to Nigeria and continued his wayo wayo business in Lagos. Remove Tinubu from Lagos affairs and Lagos will be competing with Johannesburg

lekki1444:
but you are writing this post as a slave in lagos state paying taxes to jagaban

lekki1444:
So a certain aspect of the country are very proud of the fact that they do not have godfathers ( The south east ) but coincidentally that part of the country is in disarray and indigenes of that part of the country run into the part of the country that has a godfather because the part that has godfathers is the most prosperous and most organised, relatively speaking of course. So the point is a man has to be stupid to say he doesnt want something but is running into the place where what he doesnt want exists. Proving that you need a central figure with a vision who will put the pieces together to make the vision come true. These central figures are called kingmakers or godfathers and it is because Lagos state has had godfathers from its inception is why it is the hub that it is today. There are other states with ports that are strategically located who can takeover from Lagos and become the next hub but these states have no godfathers. Everybody is just running around like a headless chicken doing their own thing and getting in each others way. A governor can build something and then the next governor wike will come in and knock down everything the previous governor built. Just a bunch of headless chickens with no central vision is why these states are in disarray and everyone is running to Lagos which is the sole place that has a very active godfather. The yorubas have always had godfathers with the central vision who will then appoint people to realise that vision. It is the godfathers of yoruba land who approached the portuguese and the british and said,we need you to make this the main trading route. And this is why Lagos is the hub it is today. The godfathers have been the akitoyes, the lamurudus, madam tinubu, the kosokos and in modern day it is the Jagaban.

The idea that you can build a world class civilization without godfathers is preposterous. The western world with all its organisation and prosperity is that way because they have godfathers who run the whole show behind the scene. These godfathers are the kingmakers and it is them who choose the people who you will vote for but behind the scene both parties work for the godfathers and so it matters not who wins because they all work for the same people. So what they have in the west is an illusion of democracy but it really is a dictatorship run by godfathers. YOU CANT BUILD A FUNCTIONAL CIVILIZATION WITHOUT gODFATHERS. The godfathers pioneering the destiny of the west are the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, the Duponts and the Gettys.

In conclusion this whole igbo mans speech of we dont want godfathers in the east is just the ramblings of a child. when you are ready to get some work done and come up the ranks ? you better go find you a godfather or else the place will continue to be in disarray. Meanwhile in Lagos we will continue to support our Kingmaker aka the godfather aka JAGABAN. He is not a perfect man but the place would be a lot worse without him as the central figure directing the affairs and appointing kings. it was him who gave us Raji Fashola arguably the best nigerian goevernor in the past 50 years

lekki1444:
absolute balderdash. the coastline of nigeria is very wide and all the waters are deep. it is the yoruba godfathers who lobbied the colonial masters to use lagos as hub.

Tumbulum:
keep deceiving yourself. Tinubu slave.

It's like the out come of the Edo state election is giving you worries. If you like, write up to 50 pages of rubbish on nairaland, it won't change the fact that igbos are allergic to godfatherism and modern slavery. We are republicans by nature and a thousand of you cannot change that. You should be ashamed of yourself for being proud of the fact that a human being like you should tell you who to vote, pocket your resources and walk away gleefully. Shame!! He should also tell you what to eat and what to wear. It is only in Nigeria that someone will be proud of seeing his paid taxes and collective public funds in someone's pocket. Tufiaaakwa!! If you think that this is how developed countries and cities got to where they are, you must be the biggest joker of the century. If all nigerians have this same mentality of yours, then the country is truly finished. God forbid!!

lekki1444:
OK nnamdi kanu slave

Muna4real:


And you think it's something to be proud of? That your taxes go to one man's pocket? Are you normal?

Tumbulum:
what's my business with KANU?

lekki1444:
he is your leader. Nnamdi Kanu

Tumbulum:
OK

lekki1444:
are you here denying the director ? is your name the biblical peter who deny jesus 3 ttimes ?

Tumbulum:
ok

lekki1444:
but you are in lagos paying taxes to tinubu

lekki1444:
i am from lagos state so i dont mind it. i am a true son of the soil. and Jagaban is working. I can attest to that. Jagaban has put money in my pocket. The car I am driving now ? was given to me by someone who Jagaban gave the car. So I see the benefit of the man in many peoples lives. i have many family who work with Jagaban. And i see first hand the work he is doing. The Abiru guy ? he is my uncle. The guy who won the APC ticcket for senate. So i see tinubu working and changing lives. he is a great man.

Muna4real:


Just summarize the whole text- TINUBU IS YOUR GOD!
