BinamRex: I was about to praise you before this comment and others like the Lekki Tollgate garbage all Western nations have distanced themselves from for obvious reason to include the USA that concluded "no massacre took place" and that the Nigerian army did not act wrongly. Now I cannot help but suspect you to be an Igbo pretending to be a Northerner or a machiavellian Northerner trying to deceive the south with subterfuge by talking up an Igbo Presidency you know is near impossible to achieve vote-wise, in the popularity contest called election, and would allow easy, guaranteed and trouble-free 'tenure elongation'for the North.. Your write-up initially presents you as an intelligent and dispassionate analyst especially your point about the 2023 President needing to image from a majority within group that can withstand the expected sabotage, resistance to radical reforms and negative pressure which will come from the North. That is an argument I have made too. Yet to malign Tinubu deliberately and casually with a preposterous lie, supposedly based on what you 'heard' and could not investigate before voicing in public, makes you a partisan, biased and unprincipled person. For your info, watch carefully the behaviour of the USA, UK and Europe towards Tinubu to note he is the preferred candidate of the West for 2023. The envoys of the West are always at Bourdillon discussing "areas of interest and avenues of progress" between their nation and Nigeria yet Tinubu is not President or even in charge of any Nigerian political office currently of for even the past 14 years since he finished his tenure as Lagos Governor in 2007. Unlike you the West view issues dispassionately and are not mired in the ethno-religious, sectional or political bias that makes many Nigerians dismiss and lie against BAT. The west can note that Tinubu is simply miles ahead on his own as the best Presidential candidate judging issues on his achievement as a leader and politicians in office and out of it plus his unrivalled ability to groom, support and use the finest hands in Nigerian politics. The finest educational institutions in the world have devoted plenty of case study on the leadership of BAT. Something they have not done for any other Nigeria. This would include Princeton that is one of the finest institutions in the same USA you claim they are looking for Tinubu base on what you "heard" whereas the reality, according to the saying a Prophet is never respected in his own Country, is that Tinubu is held in high regards worldwide as a leader except in Nigeria where we are still condemnably mired in the ugly mud of ethnic, religious, sectional and political prejudice. https://successfulsocieties.princeton.edu/publications/remaking-neglected-megacity-civic-transformation-lagos-state-1999-2012 |

Grayoso: Awo lost the 1979 election. His argument at court hinged on a definition of what constrituted a 2/3rd majority ...and had he won his case, there would have been at best, a runoff between Shagari and Awolowo. As Wikipedia put it Under the 1979 Nigerian Constitution, in order to be elected president on the first ballot a candidate needed to receive both the most votes nationwide and at least 25% of the vote in two-thirds of the states. However, at the time of the election, Nigeria had nineteen states, two-thirds of which in exact figures is 12.66. A dispute thus ensued over whether Shehu Shagari had received the necessary threshold by winning 25% in twelve states and 19.9% in Kano State, which Shagari claimed was two-thirds of the required 25% threshold and represented the remaining 0.66 in the constitutional threshold. Obafemi Awolowo claimed that the threshold should be rounded up to thirteen states, which Shagari had not met. The Supreme Court of Nigeria ruled in favour of Shagari. (And I say this as someone who won't have voted for Shagari in the 1979 election if I was old enough) |

Sammy07: Oga, you are confusing people here. According to you, Obasanjo who is a pro Nigeria is bad because he didn't play tribal politics abi but Nigerians apart from Yorubas benefitted abi?? Then President Buhari who is a tribal bigot personified who has destroyed Nigeria and Nigerians by playing pro Fulani agenda is also bad and therefore, you prefer a Pro Yoruba President with a Yoruba agenda I just don't understand 3 Likes 1 Share |

Grayoso: I don't have any reason to pretend to be Igbo. I am from Gombe state, Balanga local government, and I from the Cham tribe of southern Gombe. I'm not obligated to like Tinubu because you hold him in high esteem. Like I said, Nigeria would be on the right track with a visionary Igbo or Yoruba person as president. It'd be a disaster if Tinubu became president. There are eminently qualified Yoruba people, Tinubu isn't one of them. Learn to respect people's opinions. Everyone must not like who you like. I must not be an Igbo person to dislike Tinubu. Imagine a northerner watching my video and telling me that I am Igbo or Yoruba because I want a southerner to become president. It's ridiculous! 1 Like |

tauceti23: Guy, I back up what I say and don't argue sentimentality. I always have proof of what I say. Even if we ignore Obasanjo's reputation, as civilian President post 1999, for conducting "the worst election in the history of man", according to many Western observers, do you want to also discountenance the accusation of many prominent Yorubas who insisted at the time that Obasanjo rigged the 1979 election in favour of Shagari? Every Yoruba political player in that era know that Obasanjo, always a master election rigger, worked to compromise the 1979 election in favour of Shehu Shagari. Yorubas know precisely why also. It is the same reason OBJ, till he left the Presidency in 2007, fought every single talented or visionary Yoruba leader in that era and preferred to elevate the worst political leaders in Yoruba land. It is a life-long history of OBJ always doing his own Yoruba ethnic group 'dirty' and kicking them in the balls non-stop. I have told you why Yorubas despise OBJ and see him as a traitor. See example again below in the 1980 confrontation between Bola Ige most Yorubas, aware of his nature, know that the vengeful OBJ will never forgive or forget. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1980/12/28/nigerian-election-recriminations-revive-sensitivities-of-civil-war/648722a6-4daf-4045-b086-d4e421a40058/ Nigerian Election Recriminations Revive Sensitivities of Civil War |

BinamRex: Lol. This coming from you who has unravelled a liar happy to taint a man's reputation with lies he "heard" only ? I actually respect people's opinion and that is why I said I was about to commend you till I read all the blatant lies you levelled against BAT. Those lies simply and undeniably means, at the highest level, you are not someone who is credible and certainly not an individual whose opinion deserves to be respected. Simple as that. Next time , especially as OP who wants to be viewed as unbiased and fair, try to keep your prejudices and personal opinion out of things especially if doing so will lead to you telling desperate lies even my intelligent 10 year old child would dismiss you for as a dishonourable adult. It is IPOBians and ethno-religiously hateful Igbos who always concoct stupid and imbecilic lies about Tinubu being wanted in the US and Buhari being a 'clone' and such garbage. When you join that group then don't expect other intelligent folks to take your opinion seriously. There are many Nigerian political leaders I dont like but I wont ever deliberately utter preposterous lies against them because that would make me of lowly and dishonest character. That is the point you're not getting. |

I am igbo and Yoruba will make a beta president than any igbo in 2023. We igbo are not even serious. The Yorubas are period oiling the machinery to the presidency while Ndigbo is busy promoting Yoruba hate. I just do not understand how anyone with a brain believe a tribe not ready for a contest should be gifted the presidency of a nation. A Yoruba from the south of the SS will make a beta president. Ndigbo is not ready yet. Mabizeka: |

God will have to punish many of your Igbos. So they should remove Tinubu to please senseless Igbos like yourself. It is a must that God must punish you. How do foolish useless n hopeless Igbos like you n other lunatics from your tribe think you can decide who Yoruba want as their leader. This was the rubbish Azikwe n host of other dead brain dead with Awo now your Fools have started with Tinubu. Your father mother, entire household n unborn generation can go to hell Tinubu is the only Yoruba leader on Earth 2023. Even Obasanjo can not dear claim to be Yoruba leader. The likes of Oyeama Ngige Onu n many others hopeless Igbo promoting Buhari since he was at ANPP should not be held responsible for fpisting Buhari on your father it is Tinubu that joined at the die minute you can to crucify.
