UNBELIEVABLE!

The boy is an IPOB; he even called Yorubas ''AFONJA''

He called Pastor EA Adeboye ''Alatenuje''

Are we Yorubas going to stand back and allow this IGBO trojan horse, this IPOB apologist and Yoruba hater rule over us in Lagos??

IMPOSSIBLE!

Make CHINEDU go contest for him mama state for Alaigbo.

POL 501 Tinubu masterclass (Sparsky vs Fisher 1972)
To followers of Chess, The game between Sparsky and Fisher in 1972 was dubbed the game of the century

I will use some Chess analogies to describe this historic victory of Asiwaju Tinubu

The Tinubu masterclass


Opening move decided to go a conservative Sicilian opening

In 1999 he won Lagos State governor

In 2003 when OBJ deceived all SW governors and the AD to not float their candidate that they should support him and in turn he will ensure they retain their seat, Tinubu disagreed with AD leaders on that arrangement. tsunami swept all AD governors only Tinubu survived

Queens gambit declined

He left AD, formed his own party AC and he was the only governor
By 2007 to grow the party he reached out to Oshiomole offered him the AC ticket in Edo vs Prof Osunbor. Oshiomole lost
Atiku and OBJ got into a fight a major fight, Atiku was in charge of PDM he was the strongest Northern politician and as the heir to Yar Adua, OBJ used YarAdua younger brother Umaru to break Atikus hold on PDM
Tinubu saw an opportunity to woo a powerful politician and get on his good side, he gave Atiku a platform to contest the 2007 election obviously Atiku had no path to win. He made Ben Obi Atikus vice. They lost but Tinubus profile started rising
Short side castling

He sponsored candidates in AC all over Nigeria. He brought many politicians treated badly and denied a ticket into his fold e.g Ngige Akume
He brought Fashola a technocrat as governor but didn't hand over the political keys to him
Fasholas performance became the standard for ACN to campaign and win many hearts across the nation
Knight advance

Below is the critical part of the game which would have effect in the future

The criminal elections of 2007 conducted by Obasanjo which was reputed to be the worst election in Nigerian history handed Tinubu a huge opportunity
He found an ally in Justice Salami of the appeal court who was instrumental in restoring the Oshiomole and Fayemi and Aregbesola into power
AC grew into 4 states.
Open file Bishop

Mimiko of Labour Party who was denied the ticket was also in tribunal vs Agagu. Tinubu approached him to provide logistic support with belief that Mimiko will decamp into ACN. Mimiko won but declined to join ACN

By 2011 Tinubu spread beyond the SW approached strong politicians who were denied a ticket or chased out of strong parties but knew he couldn't take on the FG alone at this time. He was the 3rd force in 2011

Mid game starts with slight positional disadvantage

Buhari controlled all Northern states with his new CPC, Jonathan and PDP controlled most SE NC and SS states
CPC and PDP were stalemate here comes tie breaker Tinubu.
Buhari in his idealistic thinking felt he could do by picking Bakare a Pastor with zero structures. He didn't agree to Tinubus terms.
GEJ saw the opportunity approached Tinubu who tactically floated a dummy Ribadu and Fola Adeola(2 moslems who had zero political structures and were barely politicians) he knew weren't going anywhere. Tinubu stepped down all ACN machinery in the SW and allowed the PDP a free ride.
Now he has become a major power broker who tactically made Jonathan president without appearing to.
Knight fork

After winning in 2011, Jonathan started some aggressive moves to break Tinubu so he won't have to beg everytime. One of such moves was to make a SW Mulikat Adeola Speaker, Jonathan thinking was to raise a powerful SW politician that will be an alternative to Tinubu.
Tinubu knew this was an act of aggression on their gentleman handshake and he mobilized the ACN reps to reject Mulikat and support Tambuwal,
Counterplay sacrificed pawn to gain positional advantage

Buhari lost 2011 again and started crying on TV and was hopeless. As a man of strategy Tinubu knew Buhari was at his low and vulnerable point, he approached Buhari this time Bubu was more than willing
Tinubu started the cleanup of Buhari's image from a clueless out of touch military religious extremist guy to this misunderstood charming, introvert, gap toothed, strong man that Nigeria needed at this critical time to get rid of corruption and PDP indiscipline
This chess player goes into deep analysis and thinking

Thus APC was birthed with the plan to use Buhari's popularity with Tinubu's money and skilled politicking to push Buhari into power but this time Tinubu was to pick Buhari's vice.
APC also won over Atiku after he lost out in PDP and breakaway PDP governors. Atiku came into the convention ground hoping to buy the ticket as usual
Buhari has never done any real competitive primary in a party everyone didn't worship him. Primary ground, Buhari was stunned about how Atiku was about to steal the ticket right there with money . Until Tinubu matched Atiku dollar for dollar and Buhari won the ticket
Middle game management used knight to fend off offensive

This is where the game starts getting interesting..
Now the deal was for Tinubu ACN to provide the Vice.
Tinubu knew he was interested in succeeding Buhari. And giving a strong vice would build up the Vice politically over 8yrs and might build enough goodwill to succeed Buhari
This was Tinubu's biggest masterstroke. He gave Buhari an Osinbajo who was smart but has the political clout of a 13yr old girl. Osinbajo was a very safe choice, he was not popular nor charismatic enough to gather the clout to state Jagaban in the face
There were other options like Fashola and Fayemi but they were risky and could get ambitious and endear themselves to people
Buhari asked Tinubu for 3 choices, Tinubu returned with one choice an unknown Yemi Osinbajo who will complete 8yrs and have less to nothing in political power to challenge for the seat
Queen advance

Buhari won election and Tinubu is in a good position Nationally acknowledged as the brain behind the success, thus issues started cropping up, fissures grew in the hurriedly assembled APC. Saraki wanted more than he was offered and broke the party, Buharis packaging has now begun to fall off, the makeup was beginning to melt and the man behind the mascara was beginning to show and its not pretty, Tinubu was schemed out by Buharis CPC friends including Abba Kyari and ElRufai, Things were not going to plan
Should he pull out of the APC, blurt out or maintain status quo and reach out to enemies
The Queen beat a tactical retreat

Throughout Buharis regime, many party internal issues came up, Buhari stayed aloof, Osinbajo stayed on the fence but Tinubu dove head on into the murky waters, aggressively supporting his men, He got bruised in many places like Ekiti, Ondo, Edo, Kano, Oyo but he stuck to his men and was even rumored to be schemed out
Officer exchange, Sac Bishop for Knight

Comes 2022, Tinubu has broken into the ranks of governors in his party and showing loyalty to them in times of trials won him a lot of die hard loyalists like Oshiomole and Ganduje who will lay their lives for him
By now Tinubu had taken control of all the APC structures and wanted the party to go for a direct primary, Some felt there was no way they could match the network of Tinubu in a direct primary and pushed for indirect where only chosen delegates voted
Tinubu called upon his network of Governors and allies when Buhari wanted to anoint Lawan, they stood up and insisted it goes to the South. He won the primary
Rook to center, End game starts with significant positional advantage

Opposition started panicking, the were split into multiple factions Obi, Kwankwanso G5 and Atiku. Tinubu though weakened by many of the policies under Buhari including Cash swap, fuel scarcity, general insecurity, failing health, etc. His generals stood behind him like Allied forces stood behind General Eisenhower in the battle of Normandy in the final offensive against Nazi Germany. When the boats were rocking his Northern governors came out forcefully, He then found an invaluable ally in the G5 and Wike who was aggrieved from PDP and swore to neutralize Atiku everywhere. Late hour Wike declared for Tinubu, neutralizing an important state for Obi and Atiku
Rook moves to the 7th rank

Elections are conducted Tinubu leading and appears ready to make his checkmate move on May 29 when he is expected to be sworn in as Commander in Chief


You can see it was a gradual ascension filled with scheming which he lost some but won many
This man called Jagaban who many people do not like but smart people deeply respect
He understands politics. He is smart enough not to fight anyone dirty thus always leaving the room for reconciliation open, the power of compromise give & take, persuasion and when to use the power of money

Most times those who fight Tinubu can only do it on the pages of paper By the time you meet him, His humor, his slow thick voice, his offer he will give you, You most likely will leave him calm and ready to compromise

Stimulating piece bro., please more of such write-ups, even if it's on a separate blog away from NL.

Nice thread.
A calming deviation from politics.
Cc: Mynd44, Rocktation, Farano

UncommonLogic:
Nice one.

The message is not nice oh, read it properly especially towards the end.
THOSE PEOPLE ARE DEVILS!
They just don't have a choice than to congratulate who God gave the victory too.

Godspikin:
I never rated this pastor ever, but listening and watching this, it is very obvious this is not mere permutations or declarations borne out of personal emotion or preference. Very detailed

I doff my hat.

I never really rated the man too, BUT the specificity and accuracy of his prophecy is undeniable; slightly TB Joshua like in delivery.

Hmm... this is deep.
@Sukkot, what do you think of these?
The accuracy of his words back in 2021, not some general foretelling like 'the Sun is going to shine tomorrow.''

VIRTUALLY NONE!

jeromestarks:
Least I forget, marry only a virgin woman.
Thank you.

NOTED.

pacesetting:
No problem. All you need to do is to bring your money and offer to buy the properties of the strangers you don't want to habour anymore. Oh I see. Even the money you don't have.

Correction!
I am a LEGACY; my lineage have been gifted with WEALTH beyond what you may imagine.
MONEY is the least of my problems while YOU (and your lineage) will continue to struggle with poverty till you die...

Kyase:
They are not enemies
They just know how to manipulate you guys and smartly so

Oh boy, THEY ARE!
Look into the ROOT source of their vituperations against us (and Nigerians in general): Envy, Greed, and an unbridled desire to dominate others.
There's no greater enemy than a familiar who hates you.

Kyase:
Na for this election I know say Yoruba people hate themselves

Make nobody tell me anything aide that one

Honestly, Yorubas need to WAKE UP, and kick into survival instinct mode.
We can't continue to harbour enemies in our midst.

sukkot:
There is a spiritual story somewhere in this. You were weak and complacent and left the door open and the lion walked in and devoured you and took over your house and kicked you out and so you went and spent 40 days in the wilderness wandering about and eating locusts and wild honey till the LORD decided to take pity on you and give you your power back and then from the wilderness you gathered troops and started the war to conquer the lion from outside so that you can return home ( conquer the lion from outside represents all the votes from the north etc )

Sukkot, this post deserves to be expounded on its own thread.
Plenty to glean and contemplate here.

EmekaA125:
Igbos never hated Yorubas. Afterall, I have seen many Yoruba-Igbo inter-tribal marriage. The issue is Tinubu insisting on being President despite his age and health. Had it been it's Osibanjo, Igbos won't mind supporting him massively against Orji Uzoh Kalu or Okorocha.

Keep your post to your hypocritical self.
YORUBA ARE NOT FOOLS!

Yamiriflathead:

Although disappointing
Tinubu tried to hold Lagos with the figures he pulled so far. Lagos is the Capital of Southern Nigeria, so what were you expecting?
This was a fight between ibos+SS+woke yorubas against Tinubu supporters in Lagos who are mainly yorubas and maybe Hausas in Lagos.

I hope Tinubu and yorubas have learnt a bitter lesson from Lagos Elections not to befriend and feed a cub because it is homeless, hopeless, and dying. It will grow up and eat u up someday.

I'm happy yorubas can now sit down and ask qtns as to how they got everything wrong and redress it with BAT as President.

The take home from this defeat is..

Yorubas need to stop drafting non yorubas into the civil service and stop giving them prominent appointments. There are always technocrats who can always fit into any political office from the SW

Yorubas need to stop selling their lands to non yorubas in Lagos and SW

Yorubas need to stop giving out local government of origins to non yorubas in Lagos

Yorubas need to stop allowing non-yorubas contest for Elections in Lagos or SW

Yorubas need limit the numbers of voters registration of non yorubas going on in Lagos, they care so much about Lagos and don't care if their homes rot, Henceforth let them go home and vote. They can't come and dictate to you on how to govern urselves after creating an enabling environment for them to thrive.

Contain them politically, Period!

Congratulations to the incoming President of Nigeria BAT the ASIWAJU of Lagos for winning the most Free and fair Elections since our Nascent Democracy nothwitstanding

Again, this post suppose don get 1000 likes + 5000 shares.
Yorubas need to WAKE UP!

Yamiriflathead:


It's not like I don't want ibos to pack their loads and leave o, but I feel like if Yorubas had placed clear cut out boundaries when Non yorubas started invading Lagos in their Millions there would be no need to ask anyone to evacuate ur region today.

But yorubas were forming Benevolence and diplomacy that has made them look weak.

Yorubas, ibos and SS Pple are living in every part of the North too but they don't interfer in the local Politics, Heck they don't even have a say. Same with how non-indegenes don't have a say in SE politics too, theirs is Even worseoff because they descriminate on fellow ibos from other States


But Yorubas, u now have an opportunity to contain Non yorubas politically in the SW with BAT as President, it could be ur last chance.

Abeg, make dem go their papa house. We can't continue to harbour Igbo enemies from within.
Make their population for SW reduce drastically to a manageable reasonable few.
YORUBA FIRST!
PS: Love your post on this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/7588173/peter-obi-wins-lagos-beats#121297152

ycat:
I was commenting this on a topic but, the thread has disappeared, so i decided to post here.

This can be changed in one day by an exexutive order and when it's taken to court, you ignore the court ruling if after claiming Yoruba are endangered, you are ruled against. By getting our media involved along with the streets in the talking points of "we will do anything ro save our land unto death." Any judge hearing that knows that he has a fight in his hand. What we need is a fighter, who will uphold the original constitution Yoruba consented to concerning our land.

All we need are people who have brains, know what they are doing and can fight.

Every problem has a solution, people are just too lazy to take them up.

1. No more renting houses or selling land to igbos.
2. Don't buy anything from igbos.
3. Adopt the Philippines Barangay system where every local govt has a registration system and know everyone living there. If 10 igbos show up, you register 1, if the other other 9 are in trouble for anthing and caught anywhere, they don't live in Lagos and won't be able to get any papers from the local govt or Lagos ID which will have O beside the one given to igbo and Yoruba's own will have green check marks. When media asks you deny it, you can deny if for 3 years until it's full fledge and when asked by the media again, you will let the secret dept where I would love to help handle the response that they won't be able to pin down. With this only those registered will be able to vote or do certain things. More on this later.
4. Then every igbo house must pay property tax, won't even know they are being singled out, you will have to really be on it. You will see how many igbos will find Yorubaland not worth living in at this time. Between fighting the tax office and having to deal with all kind of issues like local licenses to open a business with all the stumbling blocks in their ways of getting things done, all they wiill be telling their people in igboland is "ragos no easy o." More on this later.
5. We will introduce different licenses that only igbos will be paying for. When they protest, you ignore them.
6. I said it long time ago that highrise apartment should be built in where igbos are many and fill it all with Yoruba and when anyone says why only Yoruba are in there, you say it's still a test of what can be and everybody will be part of it as time goes on and then ignore them or feign surprise and threaten to find out why that is, then yinmu as you turn around. The plan is to wear them out and ignore them mostly. More on this later.
And many more . Assemble all the Omoluabi lawyers that will be in court every day.

We can start changing Lagos within a few months, between their jobs and requirements to live in Yorubaland, they won't even have time to drag anything with Yoruba. They are just too comfortable right now.

Supported 120%!
YORUBA FIRST is the way it should have always been.
Ycat, please stop replying those tribalistic hypocrites from that side; just ignore.
We are not fools.

Yorubas need to wake up, and realise the Igbos are like the Amalekites of the bible, they like to attack others from behind. They also have traits of Cain (the one who killed Abel, his brother) and they also have traits of Saul (the one who wanted to kill David).

Olodumare, God Almighty bless you for this action points.
Yorubas have to wake up, but will we?

Luckysbab:
I think Hausas usually travel to go and vote at their hometowns.

This is what Igbo should be doing too, but na another man land dem dey longthroat for... covetous people.

daywatcher:
You can be Yoruba and support any candidate you want. But you should not encourage others to insult Yorubas because they have chosen to support a candidate that they do not like

Thank you!

pocohantas:
No, I won’t and he is none of this.
I am the Igbo amongst us.

If you say so...
