Stop The "Paid Agents" Accusations; Tinubu Has Been Winning Elections Since 1992 by TooNoisy(f): 4:43pm On Jun 21, 2022
I have seen alot of comments from Peter Obi supporters accusing Tinubu and Atiku supporters of being paid to support them. Of course once these Peter Obi supporters do not have anything to discuss; they resort to cyberbullying and baseless accusations.

Let me take you down history lane. Tinubu has been winning elections since 1992. He was first elected into political office as the Senator representing Lagos West in 1992. At the time, he had the highest number of votes ever for a National assembly election with over 300k voters Please tell me, were the over 300k supporters paid.?

In 1999, he ran against Wahab Dosunmu of the PDP. He won easily and handily and became governor of Lagos State. Please tell me, where the over 1million voters who chose him also paid?

In 2003, he ran and won the most competitive governing election ever in Lagos State. He ran against Engr Funsho Williams of the PDP and narrowly won. Obasanjo of PDP was desperate to capture all the SW states for PDP. Tinubu was the only AD governor that survived the Obasanjo onslaught, and Obasanjo had in Funsho Williams a perfect candidate- such a great man. Obasanjo had also starved Tinubu of funds so Tinubu had no money to contest with.

In 2007, Tinubu's relatively unknown candidate- Babatunde Fashola - won against more familiar names like Musiliu Obanikoro and Jimi Agbaje. In 2011, Fashola won on his own merit.

In 2015, Jonathan released billions for Jimi Agbaje in a hope to capture Lagos but he failed again. 2019 was not even a contest in Lagos.

Tinubu's candidates have won elections across the entire country. The 15million votes Buhari got in 2015, were the supporters also paid.

Tinubu has some of the most loyal set of supporters in Nigeria and you guys need to understand that. He has built this loyalty since 1991 and even in the days on NADECO, so please stop accusing people of being paid. Tinubu is a political collosus and his loyalty is also because he performed well in Lagos. Thats why you guys keep leaving Anambra and coming to Lagos.

However if we were to examine Peter Obi's supporters for a minute, they seem more like people that are easily swayed. In 2019, these same people vigorously supported Atiku. 2020 and 2021, they called Nigeria a zoo and wanted Biafra. Early 2022, they started campaigning for PDP. Now they are in Labour Party. Doesn't they seem like people who are paid or even brainwashed to follow directives from a manipulative leader.

Tinubu has been winning elections before most of you were born.

Why Do Igbo hate YORUBA and Tinubu

1. Why do we hate Tinubu? What for?

2. Tinubu never worked with federal or Eastern Nigeria let alone stealing money from Ndi Igbo.

He never worked as Minister or taken any Federal Appointment!

3. He never joined APGA let alone sabotaging our Party's interest?

4. Tinubu didn't meddle in Igbo internal affairs either!

5. Why do we call him thief? What did he steal?

6. We call Yoruba "slaves". We never reflect on what it means to be slaves in the true sense of the word.

7. We are putting mouth in Lagos politics without caution, yet we have a proverb that says it is the foolish housefly that follows the corpse into the grave.

8. Can Yoruba man become an Association or Local Government Chairman in the East? Let us be sincere with ourselves. Yet we enjoy all these privileges here including Assembly Membership!

9. Why asking for what we can't give?

10. We are here helping the "slaves" to develop their land. Who then is a slave?

10b. You call their city a no man's land so that we can further be enslaved slaving to develop it, and our generations are wasted gloating over mere privileges. Who is a slave. Do we actually think?

11. Can Yoruba tell Okorocha "o to gee" in Owerri? He doesn't even need it. He is too intelligent to die for a pot of ofe manu or nothing.
12. After the civil war, for many of us who were old enough to have witnessed it, the Yoruba were the first to open their arms to receive and accept us as we were, crude savages in search for means of survival. It was regardless of what we equally did to them before and during the civil war. No party to the civil war was innocent! I also remember not paying any rent among Yoruba guys without a penny for my first 3years in Lagos and another 2 years in Ibadan.

13. Can we survive Yoruba attack in Yoruba land if they actually mean to? Will an Mbaise man cooperate with the Nsukka or Afikpo, or the Imo with Anambara?

14. If we all decide to relocate at once, Babangida send me home phenomena is still in the memory of some of us who survived the incessant and uncontrollable spate of robbery across the Onitsha bridge. How many people will want to go in spide of our empty pride?

15. If Yoruba people are as foolish as we foolishly think, why agitating? How will agitating be to our benefit?

16. Why not "O to gee" in Abia, Enugu or Owerri?

17. Can a man from Aba become a Commissioner or P.S. in Enugu State Civil Service? Yet it happened here! Why not be careful.

18. We adopted APGA and but "wisely" voted PDP. How was Tinubu our headache. Was he the cause of our downfall? Why always blame others for our inabilities and want to take glory for any small thing we think we have done well and even overblow it?

19. We claim we were so creative during the civil war. Now history. We also claim every made in Nigeria is from Aba. But go to Oyo and Oshogbo to see what "lazy" mechanics are doing quietly in the automobile industry, yet we make noise that other ethnics are either mumu or lazy except we (alagbara ma mero baba ole; the most hardworking humans who cannot develop their own land unfortunately).

20. Why looking for avoidable problem? Why?

21. It was you in the North being attacked, in Malaysia being killed, in Gabon and Ghana being molested. 99.9% of Nigerians killed in South Africa are of Igbo extraction, and sometimes by fellow 'hardworking' Igbo. Why?

22. We choose Kanu and he dictates to us without consultation with any one of us. They choose Tinubu who becomes a hero among them by bowing to or adopting the choice of their majority. Why are we angry?

We choose Azikwe and they choose Awolowo. How are they more mumuish followers than ourselves?

Zik became a president and we gained from it, Awo was only a premier, but we are only struggling to beat their records in all ramifications including education till today. How are they mumus?

We choose APGA and they choose APC, why agitating?

➡ Yoruba are yet to say Tinubu is their problem why do we want to die for nothing?

Why working in APGA but planning to collect salaries in APC?

I pray for the success of Biafra, but do we still remember that as Igbo we will automatically become foreigners on the streets of the Lagos we call a no Man's land?

How many of us will actually want to relocate home, should Biafra actualises or if if citizenship is on the condition that you relinquish all other citizenship in Africa? I leave that answer to the individuals.

Even Dangote brought his Refinery and Fertiliser project to Lagos even when some of the Niger Delta states appeared better suited.

They keep claiming non-indigenes bring business ro Lagos but they forgot to add Lagos has the best business environment in Nigeria and its the 5th largest economy in Africa

A few MkpuruMmiri drinking youths do not represent the youths of Nigeria. The Northern Youths have adopted Tinubu. South West youths have adopted Tinubu. Did you see the welcome receipt he got a few days back. South West youths are 100% Tinubu.

You can go down another bottle of Mkpurummiri.
