BOLA TINUBU USED THE PRINCIPLES OF 48 LAWS OF POWER TO BECOME PRESIDENT - Dr Lexington Steele

The 48 Laws of Power authored by Robert Greene is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining or defending against ultimate control. It’s the bastard love child of How To Win Friends And Influence People, The Art of War and The Game – if that child was bred to survive Coral Island, then raised by wolves, then fostered by Machiavelli.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the President Elect used many of the principles in the book on his ascension to the throne. I would have loved to dissect all 48 Laws contained in the book, but for the sake of brevity, I will choose a few :

Law 1. Never Outshine the Master

Despite the crucial role that Tinubu played in getting Buhari to Aso Rock, at no point did he attempt to upstage him. He often showed absolute loyalty, humility and respect even in the face of obvious disrespect. He always left trivial insults for the big picture.

Law 4. Always Say Less Than Necessary

For years, Dino Melaye, Bukola Saraki, Afenifere, Bode George have openly disrespected and insulted Tinubu. BAT might have been taught "Silence is the best answer for a fool" in primary school, but the man took it to extreme lengths. He NEVER responded. He only ensured political irrelevance of his foes.

Law 6. Court Attention at All Costs

For years, critics of Tinubu who were envious of his prominent role in uprooting PDP from Aso Rock, spent years mourning the loss and insulting the man. What they didn't know was that the insults made him a constant on the lips of everyone. I have very reliable sources in Aso Rock who said Tinubu intentionally made gaffes like "gazelle garagara" and "bala blu blu bala" to keep his name in the news while distracting his opponents from the big picture. It was ALL misdirection.

Law 7. Get Others to Do the Work for You, but Always Take the Credit

Tinubu through a middle man instigated Peter Obi into running for Presidency. Obi went to Atiku to beg for a chance to be running mate and was coldly rejected. Atiku told him pointblank that he didn't associate with failures. While Obi was in a sad state (said to be crying), the middle man approached him and said some big men who wanted to remain anonymous will finance his candidacy as an independent candidate. Obi never knew he was being financed by Tinubu to run against him!!! Very reliable sources close to APC and the man himself confided in me.


Law 15. Crush Your Enemy Totally

The high number of votes Obi got was intended to psychologically break Atiku. Atiku will always think of what could have been if he teamed up with Obi. This will make him lose taste to run for Presidency again. If APC which already weakened by Buhari's poor performance could still beat PDP with such a wide margin... the defeat is psychological which is at times more traumatic and longer lasting than physical defeat.

Law 16. Use Absence to Increase Respect and Honor

Tinubu intentionally refused any debates organized. By the time he appeared on Chatham House, BBC and the NESG... audiences hung on EVERY single word he uttered. This is why he had such a strong showing especially in the NESG. His absence generated a lot of interest when he finally took the stage.

Law 21. Play a Sucker to Catch a Sucker – Appear Dumber Than Your Mark

While some of his rivals were busy fantasizing how to wrestle control of Lagos State from Tinubu's hands, they forgot elections were conducted in 36 states plus the FCT. He appeared like a fool but he knew allowing a win in Lagos will even increase the validity of the election results. When EFCC was storming his polling units, when military tanks were rolling into Lagos, his critics jubilated not knowing the true purpose of those tanks were to quell any post elections violence.


29. Plan All the Way to the End

Most mortals would rest easy if they had the "advantages" BAT had. "Oh, I am the ticket holder of the ruling party, I helped the President and his Vice to power, I can sleep assured" Bola Tinubu campaigned harder than his rivals. He campaigned like he was in a relatively small party like FRESH or Accord. He NEVER left anything to chance from Primaries to Presidency. Even to petitions at tribunals post election, I wouldn't explain that further.

42. Strike the Shepherd, and the Sheep Will Scatter

At a point when it seemed the Cabal wanted to install another candidate during the APC primaries, Tinubu fearlessly struck at the heart of the Cabal. Glory favours the bold, unlike Atiku who deleted a tweet condemning Deborah Samuel's death or Peter Obi who ran away from PDP primaries before it even started.... Tinubu boldly confronted the President, Vice President, Senate President and Party Chairman. Few weeks before elections, a cash shortage and fuel scarcity were caused to negatively affect Tinubu's chance. He very boldly confronted the Presidency till there was a Supreme Court stalemate.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu's political genius should be studied in Universities.

Emeraldfynest:
Good evening everyone, I'm a first time applicant and I paid for my passport this month, I just printed the guarantors form so I can get it signed ahead, but I'm confused about which part the guarantor needs to fill. As you can see there are 3 sections, are they all meant to be filled by the guarantor? The 2nd section is getting me confused. Please note that I'm not travelling anytime soon, I just want to have it in hand just in case. And where can I get a commissioner of Oath please, and how much does it cost?

To go YOUTUBE search for how to fill guarantor passport form you will see much video explaining it.

Going solo: using freelancing to finance the dream

At the point of quitting my HR job in Lagos, I decided to create an account on Upwork. The site was easy to create an account but I found it difficult to decide what to include and not include so I could make my profile attractive to clients. Nonetheless, I read a couple of things online and used the information to set up my account, and then left the account as there was no time to apply for jobs.

However, a few weeks after I resigned from my job, I got invited for a permanent job that would pay about eight hundred thousand naira (#800,000) per month. It was a US-based company and the client was willing to hire many people for the same role. Since I have never submitted any proposal in the past, I struggled on what to include and not include in the proposal. Due to my inexperience, I couldn’t write a good proposal and answered the screening questions poorly. This made me the only one that did not get the job out the four of us that were invited to apply. Although I didn’t get the job, I was happy I was considered. Then I continued to apply on both LinkedIn and Upwork. I got two other ones around October and November but didn’t earn anything from them.

In December 2021, I was back in Ogun State and penniless again, but this time like the proverbial prodigal son, broke and penniless. My aunt cried when she saw me because she thought I needed stability and I was not going to achieve that with my pattern of life that was filled with costly adventures. She didn’t understand why I couldn’t just continue with my job on the Island since the pay was not totally bad for someone with that year of experience. But for me, it was just a transitional phase towards something bigger.

From January 2022, I became more aggressive with my application, and by the middle of February, I landed a gig with a company in the US. This job took about two months and I earned about one million naira (#1,000,000) for the first time by the end of the project. I later got another long-term project with a company in Ireland. I got other big projects that I declined because they would run throughout the whole year and I was expecting to leave the country before then. Overall and for the first time ever, I made about three million naira (#3,000,000) from freelancing within seven months!

Please kindly share the gigs

Men you Bleep up.....

Just ask her about her future plans or advice her on what you have in plan for her..and tell her what she doing right now at her age will not make it to go come to pass and it will break your heart if such happened, tell her some life experience of people you want her to be or bad experience you have had near her or around your environment. Examples around....

Ogbomoso is the final destination of the package boss, not ibadan.

If your address is correct, it's a mistake of distinction, they will send your package to Ogbomosho from lagos distribution center....

Babalegba:
They normally wait for thirty days before sending items back

Maybe but I had it's 5 working days, because according to what I saw on your tracking details.... (Reschedule detained beyond time)..... That is it's with then for long so they have to return it to the seller......

Ex0rrcist:
This is the last tracking update, unfortunately it's been returned.

Ex0rrcist:

Is that your address just call them at ibadan office it's still there

Princeaktoy:
I've done that and it's successful, but, I noticed it's a disadvantage to the Seller/Store. After Refund was made, the Store contacted it's a loss as the phone was actually shipped.

I do imagine if someone actually stole the phone. Similar situation is when a TV Box was supposed to be delivered while I got a shirt.

I experience these madness each time NIPOST is to deliver

Those guys are theif, when next just make sure u take note of the carrier before u order....

[quote author=jboixxx post=119203019][color=#0000ff]When you lodged, did AliExpress open dispute for you or tagged it as compensation? [/color] [/quot

Ayetobi92:

Chat with AliExpress customer service representative and complain. they will refund back you money...... I was facing the same thing with Post office too, went there several time they said I should wait. after a month I lodge my complain to them and they resolve it within 10day I was refunded back

Princeaktoy:
I doubt that, NIPOST is a mess, all tracking points that my parcel arrived here on 13th October, NIPOST said items is not yet in Nigeria. Today's 12th December

I hope parcel has not been stolen or swapped �

Reach for refund from AliExpress.....
