Draslo:

Tinubu is an accountant. People tend to forget this. If indeed he was a drug trafficker, he would have gone to prison, fact! Obviously, he must have handled funds that were proceeds from heroin trafficking which is not surprising since Chicago is full of drug cartels. The Italian mob that handled the assassination of John F Kennedy were from the Chicago sect. Chicago has the highest murder rate in America because of drug wars. People in government know that Babangida and Abacha trafficked cocaine. Tinubu worked in corporate America. He wasn't your average immigrant. He was white collared. it is stupid to label him a drug baron. This drug baron fake news was started by PDP when they were irritated by his party handling the only one state in Nigeria, the most valuable state, Lagos. The most painful part is that the tribe that exposes Nigerians tomextra scrutinization at international airports abroad are Igbo people... luckily for us the FBI knows this.

This story started by the PDP is not new. Infact, It was all over Nigerian media last year. But low IQ Obidients are happy because one online blog posted it to gain a far wider audience of caucasians (colonial mentality of seeking validation). The same caucasians that will be handling visa applications and guarding their airports from Nigerian crooks .

In my own case, I don't have a diplomatic passport that the likes of Tinubu will have, but I hold dual nationality (G7 country) so this doesn't bother me. I only feel sorry for the average Nigerian. We already have a bad reputation for drug trafficking. They are now cementing the stereotype.

Imagine having Escobar as president elect I doubt if any responsible nation will ever have reasons to partner such a nation I tell you APC and Tinubu will fail woefully in governance

Ibrahimcoomasie:

So. How does Uber fact stop him from getting sworn in on May 29?

Tinubu is an international man. Crying about him being a conduit for a drug lord of a drug lord 30 something years ago changes nothing.

A slowpoke is who u are..Anybody can host an Ambassador if there is a bilateral and common interest.. U people get so euphoric on cheap stuffs like this. Ambassadors even visit directors of federal agencies or ministries..So what is d big deal here.

Benwallt:


Plea bargaining in his parlour Abi. Why doesn't any court in the US have papers pertaining to the process.

Where is the charge sheet. Tinubu did not even make one court appearance. Reform yourself to avoid being intellectually deformed

Fake news does more damage than any bomb and we've yet to even see the worst of it yet. Just like lawyers can defend anybody so can accountants handle funds for anybody and get paid to do it. Tinubu handled proceeds of drug money....he was never a trafficker

But chill first can you imagine the weight of $460,000 in 1993.... Damn! Asiwaju Jagaban!! ghana must go bag.

DonTattaglia:

And a retard is what you are.
Still how is Uberfact or whatever it is called going to stop Tinubu's inauguration on the 29th of may (49 days time)?

You low IQ monkeys have only ended up dragging Nigeria in the mud . Gladly I have a G7 passport

Still doesn’t change that fact that we both know.., he’s gon be swear in on the 29th of may

To be honest I don’t care whether he deals drugs or not
Cause I’d do same if I’ll get money 😂😂🚶🏾‍♂️🚶🏾‍♂️
Sha forget as far as he’ll be good for this country that’s all that matters

460,000,000usd at at 1993. Anyways, I'm happy he emerged as the winner because nah person wey get money suppose rule this country. Like the donald trump levels. Asiwaju all the way! Make una smuggle heroin go Indonesia or Australia. Key biz is not for nitwits, like those set of nitwits wey dey shout our stolen mandate up and down. After his successful and smart outing in the state, he still came home to fight for his country.

HOW BOLA TINUBU WAS ARRESTED

A MUST READ INTERVIEW BY ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU

Q. When were you arrested?

I said we would continue to struggle until we had democracy. We had a group of 30 Senators called the G-30. The G-30 was determined to actualise the mandate on the floor of the Senate. Suddenly, Abacha came and General Oladipupo Diya and Babagana Kingibe were also running around. Diya was one of the most respected and credible military officers then, and he later approached us that there might be change in government. Abiola was around. General Chris Alli met us and said there would be a change of government, which would be in favour of June 12, because they were tired of the shenanigans of the ING. That night, Abacha changed the government. He outsmarted everybody. They met with me, Dele Alake, Segun Babatope and Doyin Abiola. We were asked to write the terms and conditions, which they would broadcast after a change of government. We wrote it and gave it to Diya. They are all alive to attest to it.

On the night the government was to be changed, Abacha outsmarted everyone and installed himself. These people I mentioned are all alive to testify to what I have said. I can say categorically that I was even called to leave my office because, as they claimed, that night was a dangerous night for them and that everyone’s life might be in danger. Abiola was told not to sleep at home until the broadcast had been made. We were all fooled! Big time deception.

When we heard the broadcast the next day, there was no mention of June 12 and no proclamation of Abiola. I was mad, but was still determined. I rushed to Diya and he was still saying that there was no problem and that they were planning to announce the cabinet containing eminent June 12 people. Abiola said what? I said no, announce Abiola’s victory.

Diya told me that I didn’t know the military and that things were not done like that in the military. But I insisted that it was deception. I said I know the military. I called Okadigbo to my office in Lagos and I put the plan before him that we had to confront the military and we had to declare Abacha himself illegal. I got members of our group together; we wrote the script declaring Abacha’s government illegal. Since we could not get to the National Assembly, we opted to hold our session at the Tafawa Balewa Square. We had gotten Dele Alake to be the media coordinator. We told him to get the CNN and other foreign media ready. I put the coat of arms on a rod! That was the mace. We created our own mace.

We reconvened the Senate here in Lagos and declared Abacha illegal before the international media and others. My colleagues had scattered. After we assembled, and having drafted the resolution, they still didn’t know where we would hold the session. I told them to relax, this is Lagos. After the broadcast, everybody took off, because the SSS and other security agents were combing everywhere for us. I went underground, using the 090 mobile phone. I was still granting press interviews to foreign media. The military people were mad. I became a thorn in their flesh and they arrested some of my colleagues, including Abu Ibrahim, the late Polycarp Nwite, Ameh Ebute and Okoroafor. I was still underground, holding press conferences. The military declared me wanted.

Suddenly they granted bail to the arrested senators. I thought I would be a beneficiary, but I was not. Then, there was a manhunt for me by the police and the SSS. Meanwhile, my late uncle, K.O Tinubu and the present Oba of Lagos, Oba Akiolu, who was then a police officer, were pressuring me to disclose where I was. My uncle called to ask where exactly I was. I did not disclose my whereabouts. I told Akiolu that even though he is my relative, I would still not tell him where I was since he was a police officer! He said: ‘Ha!’

My uncle advised that the military would kill me if they found me underground and no one would be able to locate my whereabouts. He said it was better I surrendered myself because he wanted me to be alive. I told him that I would call him back, that I was to hold a press conference at the time. And he shouted in amazement: ‘You are holding press conference when your life is in danger.’ I told him I would surrender, but would not tell him when.

I disguised perfectly, dressed like a malam, and went to the police at Alagbon. The officers didn’t even know me when they saw me. I went in, deposited my phone and my charger. Senator Abu Ibrahim was with us. The officers were wondering why I, a Mallam, could not speak Hausa! I removed my turban, showed up at the front desk and declared that I had come to surrender. And there was pandemonium among the officers, as to how I got there.

The AIG then was very nice and they put me in the cell. They poured water into the cell room and said, ‘sleep there’. That was the nastiest experience I had within first 48 hours that I was there. It was on a weekend. I told them I would embark on a hunger strike. The late Anthony Enahoro was on the stairway and Beko Ransome-Kuti was at another angle on the stairway. They brought me out repeatedly for interrogation. They asked me to renounce but I said no, I would not recognise Abacha. They took me and my colleagues to court. People who were supposed to meet their bail conditions were stopped from doing so immediately they saw me. They cancelled everybody’s bail because they could not isolate me.

They gave an order that we should be taken out of court, but kept in the police custody at Alagbon. They kept about eight of us in a photocopying room, an eight-by-eight room. We were sleeping across one another. It was a matter of the first to sleep would maintain the position. If your head was this way, your leg would be there and so on. It was a nasty experience.

There were a lot of interrogations, with a lot of carrot and stick. I can never forget the role and determination and sincerity of a compatriot at that particular time. They made an exception to uphold the earlier bail granted to Senator Abu Ibrahim. He was asked to go. He was the only Hausa-Fulani man with us. The late Hassan Katsina had intervened. But Senator Ibrahim said he would rather stay, except every one of us was granted the same bail conditions. He said he would not leave his colleagues behind.

He is a courageous and a detribalised Nigerian, who had a vision of what Nigeria should be. He refused to accept an isolated bail. They started sending emissaries to us in detention, offering us all sorts of appointments and opportunities to renounce our positions, but we refused.

The judiciary was still very courageous then. We went to the Court of Appeal. An incident occurred at the lower court. Market women turned out hugely to support us when we were brought to the court. The day they refused my bail, some of the market women appeared naked and so they stopped taking us to the court. The court sessions were usually interesting for us because of the scenes. At Alagbon, we bathed in the open between 4 and 5 a.m.

The condition started improving when they began to bring officials of the failed banks. Those ones contributed money to repair the generating set at Alagbon and we started enjoying electricity a little longer than we used to. It was during the time that the protest became intense. Nigeria was playing at the World Cup then. Italy defeated Nigeria and the security people lied to us that it was otherwise. Eventually, the Court of Appeal courageously granted us bail in enforcement of our fundamental human rights. Our passports were confiscated and deposited with the court. Later, the High Court ruled that our passports be released to us. That night, they finally announced our bail and conditions attached to it. The presiding judge then is today the Emir of Ilorin, Sulu Gambari. We heard that they put so much pressure on him (Clement Akpamgbo was the Attorney-General) not to release us, but he ordered our release. They were going to re-arrest me and I suddenly went underground to continue my protest.

They would throw bombs and say it was us. Mobil called me to come back to my job, but I refused. They bombed my house, but luckily, my wife and children had been evacuated. I would not want to reveal how they were evacuated because there was a diplomatic involvement. They told me that my life and those of my family were in clear danger.
Suddenly, they announced that I was wanted again. They alleged that I was going to bomb the NNPC depot at Ejigbo. Ah! I was still being tried for treason, which carries a sentence of life imprisonment, and I was again accused of trying to bomb an NNPC depot. I couldn’t go back because my photograph was all over the place that I was wanted. A diplomatic source advised me that I should leave the country if I wanted to continue the struggle. Dan Suleiman, Alani Akinrinade were in danger. We asked Bolaji Akinyemi to leave the country and promote the struggle at the international level.

That was the National Democratic Coalition then…

Yes. I was at the forefront of the struggle at that level. When I went to see my uncle, K.O Tinubu, at home, he shed tears that night. He said he didn’t want to lose me and that I was about to be killed. He begged me to leave Nigeria and affirmed that, being a former police officer, he was sure I would be killed.
He said that I couldn’t return to my house since they had bombed it. I went to a friend’s house. Before then, there was an incident that made them believe that I was at Ore Falomo’s hospital. They went to the hospital to look for me. Eventually, I left Nigeria for Benin Republic by NADECO route.

How did you make it across the border?

I disguised with a huge turban and babanriga and escaped into Benin Republic on a motorbike. My old Hausa friend gave the clothes to me. In fact, when I appeared to Kudirat Abiola, she didn’t know that I was the one! I gave her some information and some briefing. I left at 1 a.m. While in Benin Republic, I was still coming to Badagry to ferry people, organise and coordinate the struggle with others on ground. We put a group together, ferrying NADECO people across. It was a very challenging time. I can’t forget people like Segun Maiyegun and other young guys in the struggle. I would come from Benin to hold meetings with them and sneak back. The military created a whole lot of momentum around me. They took over my house, guest house and carted away all my vehicles and property to Alagbon. That is why today, I don’t have old photographs. They took eight of my cars away.

My wife and my two toddlers were dropped in a bush; nowhere to go. Beko and the diplomatic missions came to our aid and ferried my wife and kids to the United States. I was still in Benin Republic. Besides, I didn’t have a passport and couldn’t have been able to travel. At a stage, they discovered our routes, because they had spies all over, including Benin Republic. Twice I was caught and I fortuitously escaped. They traced me to one dingy hotel I was hiding.

The day they came for me at the hotel, I had gone out on an Okada to buy amala at a market, where Yorubas are dominant. I was also to meet Akinrinade and the rest of them.

The spies went to the hotel and as I was approaching, I saw two people wearing tajia (skull caps) at the front desk, asking questions. The man attending to them at the reception (I had been very nice to the receptionist) winked to me and I turned back. I contacted a friend in Benin Republic, who was an architect, and had very strong sympathy for us. Professor Wole Soyinka and Alani Akinrinade, who lodged in a better hotel, were fortunate to have escaped that night, too. The people on their trail pursued them to the hotel, but fortunately missed them.

Then the British High Commission got proper information through the Consular-General that my life was in danger. He stamped a visa on a sheet of paper and did a letter, authorising the airline to pick me from Benin Republic to any port of entry in Britain. I didn’t know how they got to me. A lady just walked up to me and handed me an envelope. She said I had been granted an entry into the United Kingdom. She said I could be killed if I failed to leave in the next 48 hours. It was Air Afrique that took me from Benin Republic to London. Meanwhile, my wife was still in the United States. I landed in Britain and worked my way back to Benin Republic. I picked up my passport from somewhere. I went to an African country and through their connections, they gave me a diplomatic passport as a cultural ambassador.

What country was that?

No, please! The African country that helped us with the diplomatic passport was showing gratitude for the help Abiola had done to its president before. So, you can make your deduction. Then, I was shuffling and coordinating our activities in the UK, Benin Republic and Cote d’Ivoire. I used the passport to travel to Cote d’Ivoire to hold meetings at the Hotel Continental, because we were planning to make another broadcast that would be aired in Nigeria. By the time I returned to the hotel, the military assailants had broken into my hotel room and taken away my briefcase and diplomatic passport. They dropped a note, saying: ‘You cannot be twice lucky.’ I was taken over by panic. Fortunately, in my back pocket, I had the photocopy of the sheet of paper on which the British had stamped a visa for me to travel out of Benin previously. I took that to the British High Commission in Abidjan. They listened to my story and asked me to come back at night. They did all their verification and found my story to be true. I returned to them and they gave me another sheet of paper and wrote the number of the flight that would take me out of that country.

But I had no money. Somebody suddenly drove in. The person is a well-known name I don’t want to mention. I met him and explained my condition. He had a traveller’s cheque, but the money was not enough. I went back to the British High Commission and the woman said she could assist me with her own personal money to bridge the shortfall in cash.

We founded and coordinated Radio Kudirat and Radio Freedom and we continued to organise. I didn’t see my family for two good years. They were in America. Bayo Onanuga, who also was part of the struggle, joined us there in December 1997. The law of political asylum stipulates that your first country of landing and acceptance is the safe haven, so it’s not transferable. That was how Cornelius Adebayo was stuck in a United Nations camp. My wife had to invoke a family clause that exists in America to fight for her husband to join her before they granted me a special privilege to leave UK to join my family in the United States.

I implore everyone to read, digest and post to other platforms so that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tunubu's enemies will know that this man is truly a democrat who fought for the democracy we all enjoying today.
He had long paid the price for the PRESIDENCY of this great country.
Indeed and in fact Ohun lo kan, Bola lo kan, Bola Ahmed Tinubu (BAT) lo Kan.

*To God alone be the glory.

Kwashiman:
A single letter from Chimamanda was all it took to take Thiefnubuu to the global cleaners, meanwhile all the rebuttive epistles from brainless charlatans like the yorogba professors and pseudo- intellectual criminals have failed to gain any global traction. PROFESSOR Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie no be una mate 🤣🤣🤣🤣

face d truth Chimamanda’s piece is a sad reminder that the possession of brilliance and high intellect by an individual provides no immunity against prejudice, bias and bigotry albeit disguised in the deceptive garb of elevated and high-minded discourse. If PO wasn't in d Presidential Race and a northerner was d labour party candidate would she have written a letter to US Presidents?

Here to read comments.
Keep the comments rolling in guys.

PreciousBro:
Just look at the embarrassing stinker associated with this dirty rituslistic cultist made the President-select by a Mallam.

In sane climes, Tinubu will still be behind bars.

Now a President-Elect ? Only in Nigeria, where we have reprobates and cows for humans. They even have rights to vote!!

A very comical joke!

Tinubu is not a drug trafficker, you can continue your propaganda without know that he was involved in drug proceeds without knowing.

For your information, between 2020 till today 90% of drug traffickers being apprehended home and abroad are Igbo. Yet you people still come here to tag Yoruba.

MuslimIgbo:

The useless bigót OLOSHO WHORÈ is just being silly like her people. She's wasting her time and making a fool of herself.

@ LALASTILALA, SUEN AND THE REST OF NAIRALAND CREW, RULE 2 SHOULD BE APPLIED HERE. PEOPLE LIKE THIS SHOULD BE BAN FOREVER. THIS TRIBALISTIC THING IS GETTING OUT OF HAND. IMAGINE THIS GUY INSULTING A WHOLE TRIBE. MOST PEOPLE NO LONGER LOG IN TO THIS SITE BECAUSE OF SO MUCH INSULTS HERE. FOR OVER 3 MONTHS NOW, ALOT OF US NO LONGER LOG IN HERE. ABOUT TIME YOU CLEANSE THIS BEAUTIFUL SITE

Who is Dss ,Stop threatening People with this ur madness

Hey you! You don forget say ur mama OLOSHO name na BERRY MAMA....that name was given to her by oluomo papa wey be her frequent customer...go verify🤷🥱

MuslimIgbo:

The useless bigót OLOSHO WHORÈ is just being silly like her people. She's wasting her time and making a fool of herself.

It is apparent that certain individuals aim to damage the reputation of our country using various methods. It is crucial to address the spread of hate and bigotry in comments being made. Although I have a positive view towards the Igbo people, it seems that the feeling is not mutual towards my own community, which is truly regrettable.

What will US now do to tinubu?

Collect presidency from him and give it to obi 🤣



Well

She has achieved more than your entire lineage and miserable generation could ever dream of. Useless man.

Wikipedia is written by someone, and for the uberfact , those who wrote it or sponsored it are the ones who shared it on nairaland. Bittered soul and sore loser. You will drink sniper at last because Tinubu will rule Nigeria for 8 years. By the way, ask Peter Obi to come out and tell us how is father died. At least, Tinubu father or mother was not killed by drug gang from South Africa. Only a wicked tribe will present a cursed child to Nigeria, a man whose father die pathetically because of the misdeed of his son who scammed a drug cartel in South Africa. Ask Peter Obi to tell us why his father was tied with stone and drop into flowing river.

All these win not change anything. You started all these before election now the election is and you continue. You people are not tired.. BAT is your president.

You low IQ monkeys have only ended up dragging Nigeria in the mud . Gladly I have a G7 passport

The little reputation remaining of Nigeria is now being completely destroyed all in the name of owning APC. Tinubu and his co administrators will be flying diplomatic while the average Nigerian will go through more scrutiny.
Nigerians are owning themselves instead of APC

Gucciblog:

https://twitter.com/UberFacts/status/1645200055102582785?t=VJORNHIk-afjdCuhheDANg&s=19

Most of you missed what Uberfacts stated "the most unimportant thing you will ever need to know" is what it posted.

Meaning their statement about Tinubu is the most unimportant thing any one with common sense will ever need to know.

Hence we can imply that those salivating and wailing on what Uberfacts stated has no iota of common sense.

God will not allow a druggie to be my President.

Ibrahimcoomasie:

So. How does Uber fact stop him from getting sworn in on May 29?

Tinubu is an international man. Crying about him being a conduit for a drug lord of a drug lord 30 something years ago changes nothing.

Being an ally of USA didn’t stop them from invading Libya.
You know the rest.

Raskimonojendor:
This drug issue has been trashed over and over again but Obidients and Igbos keep recycling it. Last year:

this is a time to go and thrash it again at the supreme Court with witnesses from the US.

You should be happy that once and for all your criminal baron has a chance to clear his name.

Tinubu has already met with the supreme Court chief judge,Ariwoola,in London the same way he secretly met with INEC chairman to influence the outcome of the election.Everything had been finalized.

When the petition is finally moved to the supreme Court,Ariwoola will declared tinubu asthe winner of the presidential election.

The useless bigót OLOSHO WHORÈ is just being silly like her people. She's wasting her time and making a fool of herself.

NL MODs , when did Chimamanda Adichie turn to a Wh**e and someone is just telling us ?

Our Nairaland would not be a place where such extreme obnoxious image destruction of a well respected daughter of this country, would be launched by an ill mannered fellow whose personal interest we don’t know

Raskimonojendor:

Nigeria is already known for drugs due to the activities of our South Eastern brothers all over the world.
Having a drug baron president as you call it is all game.

Let's also see the quota of Nigerians on death row due to trafficking in Saudi Arabia.

Gourdoinc:
this is a time to go and thrash it again at the supreme Court with witnesses from the US.

You should be happy that once and for all your criminal baron has a chance to clear his name.

You seriously believe the US will reopen a closed case file, especially that of a Nigerian president. One of the few allies they have left in Africa.

FreeStuffsNG:
Your own case of criminal defamations and slander will be so easy for DSS to bring you to court in handcuffs for prosecution You will all get sense las las. One after the other, Bayo Onanuga and DSS will get you each your own day in court so they do not clash and you sufficiently prove your wild reckless slander.

What is reckless slander, the question is did tinubu relinquish more than 400 thousand dollars to the US government for drugs related case or not?

Or who in his or her right senses will forfeit more than 400 thousand dollars of his or her hard earned money just like that without being indicted for anything?

Tinubu was involved in drugs trafficking and money laundering. Period.

That was why when he came into government the first thing he did was to build a criminal gang in the form of Agbero, tinubu is just a common criminal that's all.
