You are a mere mortal who talks too much..

If there was any great disservice that the former handlers of the Nigeria leadership structure did that posterity may not forgive, and even if forgiven may never forget among other malfeasance governance deliverables bequeathed to Nigeria and her people, it was the removal of history as a subject from our educational curriculum. The Obasanjo-led government in spite of its humongous and glaring failures did the country ‘bad thing’ to use the street language. Today, Nigeria reeks of appalling ignorance among her young adults (18-25 years) about her historical past. The apogee of ignorance displayed by this army of wonderful and egghead youths is discombobulating. Do you blame them? Of course not. Today, the country experiences the damage of the removal of history from our schools. The kids have no sense of history about happenings in times past about their own country.

In today’s digital age, these hordes of youths resort to social media to learn about their history. Sadly, the same social media today is replete with half truths, fake, sham and unsubstantiated news and stories and many distorted narratives. The political space has had its fair share of this menace. And this, the public sees play out currently in the several propaganda flying around about political players prominent among which is the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Leader and Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The country’s legion of youths has repeatedly been told many unfounded tales by moonlight to disparage the personage of the political juggernaut. His uncheckable meteoric political rise for many years has hitherto been a source of migraine to his adversaries. And typical of human nature, bad or fake news sells faster and the gullible youth fall for these cheap blackmails over and over again about Nigeria’s inarguably political generalissimo of all times.

To the teeming youths, as much as the social media blogosphere has been inundated with several ‘dirty’ but pseudo innuendos and/or propaganda against Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, have you also been informed about the relentless efforts same man, who today is the most vilified non-political office holder did towards the democracy Nigeria now enjoys unhindered? Were you told he was hounded into the Alagbon prison, Lagos alongside Senator Abu Ibrahim and some other pro-democracy activists in the mid-90’s during the military junta? Did you ever hear of how Asiwaju Bola Tinubu was financing the pro-democracy groups after his mysterious escape from the military ‘killer squad’ into exile? For every one lie told to you about Asiwaju Bola Tinubu by his political ‘foes’, there are at least ten (10) other landmarks attributable to him that were not told to the public. The mischiefmakers will hoard beautiful stories about Asiwaju because the more positive story told about him, the lesser their chance of political survival.

O ye youths! Facts are sacred and sacrosanct. It is doubtful if you were ever told of the many firsts of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the Lagos State Governor, after his return into the country from exile. For the purpose of education and posterity, the same man his adversaries calumniate and traduce every now and then pioneered several milestones in the political annals of Nigeria today. These records remain unbeatable among the contenders for the number one seat of the country. And it is expected that with such intimidating records, it is only normal that the naysayers and misanthropes will thrive on propaganda and falsehoods. Therefore, as youths, the onus lies on us as a demography with cerebral and sound medulla to be able to sieve the chaff from the grains. A few of such milestones pioneered by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu include but not limited to the following;

 He pioneered the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in Lagos

 He pioneered the Lagos modern intra-city rail

 He envisioned today’s Lekki Free Trade Zone

 He restructured the Operation Sweep to Rapid Response Squad that stopped incessant security threats

 He took Lagos from financial penury to prosperity

 He envisioned the Eko Atlantic City

 He opened up Lekki, Ajah and its environs

 He was the first politician in Nigeria to set up transition council that birthed his blueprint for modern Lagos

 He was the first Muslim Governor that started New Year Thanksgiving in Lagos State

 He was the first governor that created the Ministry of Budget & Planning

 He was the first governor that introduced the Office of the Chief of Staff now adopted by the country

 He was the first governor that introduced Ministry of Women Affairs, Poverty Alleviation, Water Resources as well as Rural Development

 He was the first person that brought Independent Power Project (IPP) into the country

 He set up several agencies like LASTMA, LAMATA, LASEMA among others that took your parents off the streets of labour market.

Dear youths, above are very few of the successes recorded by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the Lagos State Governor. Therefore, as we move into the electioneering proper, it is germane that you take caution, check the antecedents of those who have put themselves forward to serve the nation. You must be able to juxtapose their achievements, landmarks and milestones in other to make informed decision. The future of this country lies greatly in your hands. The decision you make today will either make the country better for us all or mar the future of yet-to-birth generation.

May Nigeria triumph!

Nonsense!!

seunmsg:
The change in tone is not lost on me. This is a lot different from the usual combative tone of CAN under Ayokunle. This statement goes to show that indeed, a meeting took place between CAN leadership and the Tinubu campaign. It’s just a matter of time, we shall get there soon.

Be deceiving yourself.. In your dreams!

Yoruba1stson:
Yhen yhen yhen, cry all you want, Tinubu is the next president

Of iragbiji town hall

Muslim Muslim ticket Don cut already.

Rozross:
Na his late mother curses dy follow am. It is the reason why we jobless urrchins love him

Fixed!

Rozross:
What are you talking sef

You see nothing wrong in anything he does. To you and other urrchins, the man cannot do any wrong.. So I want to believe that the both of you have something in common.. Or a member of your family benefits directly from this man

That is the hypocrisy of Bmcs now Tmcs.. These same idiots supported and defended buhari and Apc for years,but they were only doing it because of their god and drug lord tinubu. Now the idiots know that Buhari has failed woefully, they are trying to distance themselves from the him whilst painting tinubu as the saviour.. Mad people everywhere!

No going back on our decision. Muslim Muslim ticket is a no no for the unity of our great country

Handwork of Yoruba Muslims.. They will now sell the parts 250 each.. Spits on Afonjas.

Rozross:
Go to court and make a case then, it’s that simple

It seems Tinubu is your sugar daddy.. Tinubu dey give you doggy and missionary? The way you support this drug baron blindly is mind-boggling.

swaggerjack:
American journalist Michael Weiss warned Nigerians about this former Chicago drug lord.

Tinubu is a devils incarnate

omenka:
Obidients, greatest enemies of Nigeria, it's time.

Come express your regrets and anger over the death of terrorists. Hide under the cloak of asking about their names, their fingerprints, their pictures, their blood groups, videos, etc.

Wetin concern Obidients for this one, now you are dragging them but will be the first to run to the mods when they unleash. Stop instigating issues online Omenka

This is a Pro tinubu site.

Trinitycian:
Reno Omokri is a disgrace. Most of his tweets against Peter Obi are just puerile, unintelligent and nonsensical. I doubt he's working for Atiku. The idiot blocked me because I begged him to stop attacking Obi's personality but should instead promote Atiku, whom he claims to be supporting. That guy is too childish. No wonder most of his tweets are ignored by sane PDP members. Only Tinubu supporters often quote him.

I wish Baba Atiku can distance himself from Reno Omokri.

You be better comrade. Instead of the idiot to stop castigating obidients because you need people as politics is a game of numbers, he keeps getting enemies for Atiku forgetting that this same south south and south east voted massively for Atiku during the last election.

Them go tire.

Suzetteemmanuel:
eneka to be precise,I came across nl on ma fb page

Facebook name, I stay in ph too

Who dey give this idiot attention? You said Obi, Atiku and kwankwaso must align to win else the agbado drug addict will win the election,but you carry Obi matter for head like Gala. Stupid man!

Our incoming president. .

Arrewa:
Why?? Dear seun why?? I want an answer!!!

Now you understand that you can defame the Easterners and go free here, whereas you cannot do same to the westerners.. They own the media space and can behave any how they like.. You can imagine the hypocrisy of the Yoruba's,not all but majority.

Just imagine this was from an igbo man or a thread against Peter Obi. Yoruba Muslims would have filled this thread with their hate and tribalistic comments, but because it is from a northerner,they have all ran away.. This one be like master and slave wahala.

braimeddy:
He has been sacked

How sure are you? Where did you get such information?

Buckeyemedia1:
The irony is that I do not even support any of those idiots, could care less who the president of Nigeria is, doesn’t stop me from making my Benjamin Franklin concurrently.

You used to support Apc right? Why did you stop supporting them?

Cypress042:
Poor votes.

Elo swag the obidient guy is certainly winning this dumb show.

Obidients are not interested in this shit

Buckeyemedia1:
Numbers favor APC, Hausa:Fulani vote based on religious affiliation, Tinubu has their votes, Yorubas will vote based on tribe, Tinubu has their votes.

Gibberish... Apc urrchins Like you will be dissapointed at the end.

LegendHero:
I will only take you serious if this statement if from Wike the wicked.

While PDP is screaming, Asiwaju men are strategizing in London with Wike on how to condemn the party patapata.

Effort in futility. Wike cannot tell us who to vote for in Rivers State.

No one is talking about other candidates except Peter Obi.. Just mention Peter Obi especially for the wrong reasons and find yourself on front page.. Hian!

With this Apc still wants to win election? Nobody in his right senses will vote for Apc . We are just waiting for the campaign proper, let me see how they will campaign

LeoDeKing:
Take this report to ladio biafla or any drinking joint in Alaigbo, those re the places lies are swallowed completely.

We Nigerians are human beings with brains different from those of ipob pigs.

This one has been released..

Abdul05:
