A Lion does not turn around when small dogs bark-Old Namibian Proverb.
Osee, gather around let us have some fun. This is the beginning of a new decade tho some say 2020 was the beginning.
Culturally they may be right, however, today’s Gregorian calendar counts decades starting with the first year 1 CE. There is no year zero. In this case, 2021 is technically the start of the new decade.
He’s a KING there… that is how the local man would hail a legend in his respective field of specialization.
There’s an old African proverb: “The lion does not turn around when the small dog barks.”
That`s not being proud — it’s about priorities! To turn around, in this case, is to be distracted.
Our most valuable political player for the decade is Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu the Jagaban of Borgu, the King of soccer.
The major criteria used in arriving at our MVP of the decade award is FOCUS.
" Dem say Hunter wey dey pursue Elephant no dey stop for road stone dogs or birds."
The last decade no doubt has brought to reality an emerging new world order where the populace is gradually aware of their strength and powers in deciding who presides over their affairs.
The last ten years in the history of Nigeria recorded a lot of breakthroughs in public administration, sitting governors lost their seats, even the presidency was not spared as a sitting president was removed through the ballots, a first in history.
If you have a better valuable player please feel free to mention, its not too late to do a comparison of players profile in the last decade.
2010: Was a tough season for Asiwaju Tinubu as the PDP led Federal Government brought out the ex-Lagos State Governor from retirement in a renewed onslaught against the political general.
A master strategist, Tinubu manoeuvred his way through the harsh midfield and defence of the Federal Government to score a valuable goal, acquitting himself of all the Trumped–up charges brought against him.
He scaled the hurdles at the Code of Conduct Bureau and also that of the challenges levelled against him by the EFCC.
Tinubu played to kill in 2010, King of Tiki-Taka formation...don’t go there.
Flawless victory. Tinubu was in the headlines all through the year.
2011-2015: Asiwaju collaborated with the progressive team, after reclaiming lost grounds in the South-West, Asiwaju led a strike force that was too lethal with the ball.
With all the temptations of enticing Tinubu to the PDP, the barks and threats all in a bid to distract the King of soccer, Tinubu kept moving into the defence of the opposition, finally, the collaboration paid off.
He was active in the negotiations of the new MEGA party the APC, which later became the BIGGEST opposition party of that era, it was only a matter of time for team APC to win the champions league finals in 2015.
He scored a Hat-trick in the 2015 Champion league finals.
With Buhari fully seated at Aso Rock, Tinubu was crowned the NATIONAL LEADER OF APC in appreciation of his efforts in bringing the 16 years dominance of the PDP to an abrupt end.
As at the end of the 2015 season Tinubu had netted over Seven goals at the league finals since 2010
.
2016-2020: Even before the start of the season Tinubu was already on the lips of everyone as a possible replacement to Osinbajo in the 2019 presidential elections.
The smear campaign against Tinubu started long along and was at its peak this last season.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu has long been stylish with his game, both on and off the football pitch.
And the APC superstar finished the 2020s with a big award in Football Hall Of fame.
The Soccer wizard has overcome challenges galore in his quest to become the best in the world.
In the last decade, Asiwaju Tinubu has performed well both as an individual player and a team player, not only has he scored classic goals he has created a lot of chances for his party the APC.
The journey has not been easy over the last 10 years for the ‘King of Football’.Tinubu has reached his golden pedestal through sheer hard work, determination and sacrifices.
Tinubu was a very good signing, adding composure to APC’s wicked attacking formation.
Asiwaju Tinubu is a true icon and role model of his generation and for generations to come.
Our most valuable player of the decade is Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Jagaban of Borgu.

All these for a common criminal and a drug peddler?

I believe there are better prominent men in Yoruba land.
