Marvieduke:
"No one dares touch Seyi Tinubu’s personal security team, not even the IG of Police" – Rufai Oseni

Popular Arise TV anchor Rufai Oseni has thrown down the gauntlet in a manner that only he can: blunt, fearless, and straight to the point.

During Wednesday’s edition of The Morning Show (December 10, 2025), Oseni reacted to Nobel laureate Prof. Wole Soyinka’s widely circulated criticism of the heavy security entourage that accompanies Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu.

Soyinka had narrated how he was stunned to see what he called a “small battalion” of armed policemen, soldiers, and DSS operatives escorting a young man at a Lagos hotel. When he discovered it was the president’s son, the literary icon described the display as “obscene,” especially at a time when ordinary Nigerians live in constant fear of kidnappers and bandits. He urged the authorities to “stop overdoing things.”

President Tinubu himself had, only weeks earlier, ordered the immediate withdrawal of police officers attached to VIPs across the country so they could be redeployed to fight rising insecurity. Yet, as Soyinka’s encounter showed, some VIPs appear to be more important than others.

That contradiction was all Rufai Oseni needed.

Speaking on live television, he said the presidential directive would be obeyed everywhere except when it comes to Seyi Tinubu.

His exact words, delivered partly in the street-sharp Pidgin that resonates with millions of viewers, have since gone viral: “Dem no born anybody in Nigeria to remove police officers guiding Seyi Tinubu not even the IG of Police himself. Dem no born am well!”

In plain English: no one, not even the Inspector-General of Police, has the courage or authority to withdraw Seyi Tinubu’s security detail.

Oseni argued that while politicians, businessmen, and traditional rulers may eventually lose their police escorts, the president’s son remains untouchable a living symbol of how power truly works in Nigeria.

The studio exchange with co-anchor Dr. Reuben Abati underlined the point: Abati: “Even the IG can’t do it?”

Oseni: “My brother, dem no born am well.”

Within hours, the clip spread across WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok, sparking heated debates about privilege, nepotism, and the unequal distribution of security in a country where farmers are killed daily and schoolchildren are still being abducted.

As of now, neither the Presidency, the Nigeria Police Force, nor Seyi Tinubu has responded to the growing controversy.

But one thing is clear: in the court of public opinion, Rufai Oseni has spoken for millions who feel that, in today’s Nigeria, some citizens are simply more equal and far better protected than others.

THAT'S THE VERY FIRST THING YOU WOULD ASK IF THAT THING INSIDE YOUR HEAD CALLED A BRAIN IS ACTUALLY WORKING.

LagosOrigin:

I'm not even surprised that Nigeria under tinubu made the list ...

Look at the countries that made the list, they are Islamic terrorists countries . Nigeria isn't an Islamic country but she made the list.

South Africa is the new giant of Africa . Nigeria has since lost the position to south Africa .

South Africa?

New giant of Africa

Why did el Rufai foist on us 2 presidents who aren't 100% up there ?

He should ask for forgiveness and self immolate.


He brought us Buhari who was an absent minded human being and then he brought Tinubu.

Bizmind95:
Bia Soludo or whatever you call yourself, You and Obi no be mates at all. Back in 2003 that Obi almost single-handedly formed APGA(the very party that made you Governor today), and was fighting all the evil occultic men controlling Anambra State back then, you were still at CBN doing eye service for Obasanjo. You won't even dare to challenge those evil men back then sef like Obi did!!! Or have you forgotten how hot and bloody Anambra State was back then, especially during the last days of Mbadinuju's regime? I will never forget the kind fear wey hold everybody for Anambra back then when we still dey primary school. Evil occultic men that even kidnapped the then newly elected Governor Chris Ngige, locked him up inside a toilet for three days, and later took him to the dreaded Okija Shrine to swear an oath of allegiance to them!!! Yet Obi fought and won them all, despite the fact that the battle lasted for four whole years and his enemies led by the Infamous Uba brothers, Chris and Andy, had the full backing of President Obasanjo himself!!! So Oga Soludo just go rest abeg, you no reach Obi level at all!!!

Thunder gbagbukwa your late father dere..

Ojukwu SINGLEHANDEDLY formed APGA..

ANU MPAMA!

EnEnPeecee:
What did OBJ even saw in this man that he made him CBN governor? Tufiakwa! The length some desperate characters can go to please Tinubu. He now joins the bandwagons of them that like to throw jabs at obi.

The next thing you will see him in APC where they will dish him same meal they served Obonnaya Onu and Rochas Okorocha. I was thinking Joe Igbokwe was the only Judas in the east I never knew someone that is worst than Joe would ever emerged . Usel..ssss prof

Your pain is sweet to my soul..🤣

Ofunaofu:
What is this pettiness from a so-called first-class graduate and professor of Economics?

I could understand if it came from a third-class philosophy graduate, at least according to the accounts of those who support a notorious drug baron, certificate forger, and identity thief, but a professor of Economics engaging in petty brickbats? Nah!

Your tears is sweet..🤣

Racoon:
See the pettiness of a so called professor
