SalamRushdie:


Well I am not built to be self-centered like you ..I can't be happy with my life if my environment is in tatters

Well maybe if you aren't supporting Nnamdi and Simon Ekpa your and environment will not be tattered. Now you are even following peter Obi... A man that couldn't govern a state for 8 years... No achievements, no legacy and you wonder why your life is not going well

Corridon:
Shut up you. Omonile no be work.

Do you even know the meaning of Omo Onile?
The one who's father own the land! If your family own one plot of land you are Omo Onile but now imagine a family that owns hundreds of hectares of land?

Anything called Omo Onile is made, na him time never come...

Sharap. I'm a bonafide Yoruba man.

Nigeria can't afford another 4 year of disaster like Buhari's administration.

We're in for a ride. The journey far...

alanto:

Like I said... Biafrans will wail, cry and gnash their teeth in pains and suffering but as for me and my family and all the good people of Nigeria... We are going to enjoy Asiwaju's presidency... It's going to usher us into a new life... Amen

Mumu. He will create special markets for you his mumu followers? Lol.

That was how you idiots were rubbing Buhari in our faces in 2015. We knew how it ended.

By December, I'm sure you will be here crying again for Tinubu's promises.

He said he will bring back dollar to 200. We dey watch, let's see.

Ibos declare war on Yoruba

gidgiddy:
In a little over a month, Tinubu will be sworn in as the President of Nigeria. For the sake of the suffering masses, we wish him the best, although best of Nigeria's Presidents leaves much to be desired these days. However, there are already signs that the Tinubu's Presidency will be a bad one

1. Transparency - Tinubu is the only major Presidential contender in recent memory who did not grant one single interview to his own countries press corps while running for the highest seat of the land. He dodged every interview, ignored all requests to be interviewed and ran away from the Presidential debates. The only interview Tinubu granted was in a highly controlled environment, outside the country. This is a clear sign of a man who will not be transparent nor put himself up for public probity and accountability when he gets the keys to Aso Rock

2. Visibility - Two months after being declared President elect, hardly anyone has laid eyes on Tinubu. Tinubu runs away from public visibility and for good reason too. Times he has been out in public has been disastrous, from his hands shaking uncontrollably to loss of bladder control to dozing off. However, President should be visible, and the job requires stamina. This does not portray a man who has the stamina nor health to stand the rigours of the highly demanding job of President


3. As far as Im aware, Tinubu has no manifesto and no plans. Tinubu will be facing a Nigeria with economic stagnation, insecurity, high debt burden, high corruption ratings, disunity and looming subsidy removal which is bound to make things worse. And yet Tinubu has told nobody how he will solve the myriad of Nigerias's problems when he is sworn in. For me, this does not show a man with vision. If anything, all of these shows a man who is a major disaster waiting to happen

And you sat down all alone to draft this rubbish....what a pity!

I don't blame....how will you see anything good in who you hate with a passion....

gift2xl:
I have decided to maintain my lain and pray to God to bless me continually, be it Tinubu, Obi, Atiku as president.

That's it o. Ever since Micheal Blackson said no president can help you achieve your dreams I've adhered to that statement. Even if Thanos is president, it won't stop me from succeeding.

Hopium:
Op, head dey pain you. Why won't you be making trash observation when you nbuzo nbuzo brain has the attention span of a goldfish.

1. Here is his interview with NESG, with captain sof industries and our economy stakeholders. I doubt that you knew Obi and Atiku also attended; I don't blame you though since your principal couldn't pick a clip out of his own interactive section for campaign and propaganda because he flopped biggly. Your ekute had to bury the shame, but it's on YouTube if you want to watch


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rlnv_hqafZU

2. After such hectic campaign period, it's expected that a man of his age need to recuperate. Even your 61-year-old youth took time to rest after the election codedly; the mf came back quickly because he had no government to plan, that is, he had nothing on his plate other than "they stole my mandate". Most importantly, Asiwaju withdrew to France so as not be a distraction to the current government, while planning his cabinet and putting finishing touches to his plans.

3.Tinubu has no manifesto or plan? Your head they pain you.

I said Tinubu did not grant any interview to the Nigerian Press corps. This is just s question and answer session of an economic forum, another controlled environment where Tinubu admirers were clapping at his answers. This is nonsense

Im talking about probing interviews where seasoned journalists are asking Tinubu how he will rescue Nigeria in practical terms

Hopium:
Op, head dey pain you. Why won't you be making trash observation when you nbuzo nbuzo brain has the attention span of a goldfish.

You dey mind am?

They don't ever see anything good in him

They are always looking for what to criticise

Negative people

The man hasn't even sat down, they've already come up with one million reasons why he won't be a good president

For me, he will be a good president and Nigeria will be prosperous and I will benefit largely and abundantly in the prosperity of my country

His french K-leg is a major sign

TINUBU WILL PERFORM PERIOD.

Ahhhhh, the APC manifesto that brought Nigeria two recessions and poverty capital of the world?

Yeah, Tinubu is definitely coming to continue where clueless Buhari stopped

gidgiddy:
In a little over a month, Tinubu will be sworn in as the President of Nigeria. For the sake of the suffering masses, we wish him the best, although best of Nigeria's Presidents leaves much to be desired these days. However, there are already signs that Tinubu's Presidency will be a bad one

1. Transparency - Tinubu is the only major Presidential contender in recent memory who did not grant one single interview to his own countries press corps while running for the highest seat of the land. He dodged every interview, ignored all requests to be interviewed and ran away from the Presidential debates. The only interview Tinubu granted was in a highly controlled environment, outside the country. This is a clear sign of a man who will not be transparent nor put himself up for public probity and accountability when he gets the keys to Aso Rock

2. Visibility - Two months after being declared President elect, hardly anyone has laid eyes on Tinubu. Tinubu runs away from public visibility and for good reason too. Times he has been out in public has been disastrous, from his hands shaking uncontrollably to loss of bladder control to dozing off. However, President should be visible, and the job requires stamina. This does not portray a man who has the stamina nor health to stand the rigours of the highly demanding job of President


3. As far as Im aware, Tinubu has no manifesto and no plans. Tinubu will be facing a Nigeria with economic stagnation, insecurity, high debt burden, high corruption ratings, disunity and looming subsidy removal which is bound to make things worse. And yet Tinubu has told nobody how he will solve the myriad of Nigerias's problems when he is sworn in. For me, this does not show a man with vision. If anything, all of these shows a man who is a major disaster waiting to happen

Suppose Tinubu has never govern a state before, I would look into this your observations but you see ehn ...Tinubu will surprise all of you.
