^-- We shall see. I wouldn't count Tinubu out. In some ways, he is just as lucky as GEJ is. And certainly a lot more wily.

Bring out the popcorn folks, this should be entertaining.

tinubu has faced far tougher challenges than a bumbling opportunity miss road incompetent

in the days of nadeco, it was abacha, in the days of our fledgling democracy, it was obj

Dapo, let me tell you the truth, 150 million GEJ can not do anything for TINUBU. It is like i need to do VHD conversion to VCD to upload a recorded video of the Popular Wetie crisis in the South west which i hijacked from my grandpa. You gotta see how people deal with the Government. Even Obj tried to jail TINUBU and he fail woefully. It's a pity you really don't know the love YORUBA people have for TINUBU. This man rescued our sinking boat from the hands of the sadist nicknamed obj. Come home and conduct an independent survey and you will be amazed at the level people can go to just to defend TINUBU. I repeat 150 million GEJ can not do nada.

You will find that you'll be the only person involved. All your fellow thin legged OPC's get sense na. grin grin grin

Tinubu put some dense clowns like you in front to try to push his desperate ethnic bigotry agenda, but its a fvcking failure! LOL!

If the Feds in the US were unable to jail Tinubu, I doubt GEJ will be able to either.

Jailtime is pretty much extremely unlikely, imo.

Obviously, GEJ would bury Tinubu considering that he got the political power and the backing of OBJ (The Ota farm oracle). If really GEJ wants to deal with Tinubu, EFCC can dig up corrupt stuffs that were ignored in the past.
If you ask me, I'd say GEJ have been fair in this presidential campaign. If it was OBJ, Tinubu and co would be voiceless and frustrated by now. We wouldn't even be talking of ACN's chances.

1 million Obj can not do anything for TINUBU. He tried it several times but its always the same result for him, failure. You see GEJ is a small boy, if he tries anything sill*y, another Tafawa Balewa will be born. As for Obj, he can not do anything. Do you think if Obj is that capable he wouldn't have used Efcc and icpc on TINUBU? Obj knows what YORUBA can do. Even if not for the likes of TINUBU, Abacha will have used him for lunch.  Beware ODECHUKWU!!!

You are wrong man. What Wetie are you talking about when only 3 (If I'm not mistaken) Yoruba states are in the hands of Tinubu? In reality, Tinubu does not have the type of support that you are talking about. You grossly over-value and exaggerate about Tinubu's popularity. Fashola is actually more popular than Tinubu. It is only Fashola that can attract the Wetie you are talking about. No one can take a bullet for Tinubu. He was corrupt, and he can be nailed if GEJ and OBJ wants. During his time, OBJ had nothing to use to hold him down. One would think Tinubu was not in AC during the last elections, yet OBJ was still able to manipulate elections in Yoruba land.
Re: Tinubu Had 16 Foreign Accounts While In Office? by Beaf: 12:53am On Feb 27, 2011
I think GEJ is just giving him better things to do with his time. I expect more cases to pop up as he shoots his mouth further.
Very soon, we will all be shocked to see how really really quiet Tinubu can be.

If Tinubu persists in being obnoxious, the gates of Kiri kiri will swallow him. Lol, right there in his home country.

If this 16 accounts story is real, it can be used to Nail Tinubu. EFCC can go for his head. Majority of Yoruba people are educated and not daft. We are talking of 2011, not 1960s. If the man stole, and is discovered with enough evidence, he will be dealt with. No Wetie will happen. On the contrary, Yoruba people will be enraged that he plundered public funds. That is the reality on ground. Obj and GEJ can push for that. This does not in anyway imply that OBJ and GEJ are saints.

you cant understand. OBJ and GEJ are joking. GEJ dont even get the muscle to tackle Osoba. Wondered why TAFAWA BALEWA IBB and ABACHA all fail when YORUBA engage them in a fight to finish? You see what is happening in the Arab world now is a child play. Ask IBB why he stepped aside in 93. You dont know anything. Don't blame you anyway, how many of your people like you ibos always said fight for June 12 in ibo land? Without your input we send IBB packing. We are warning GEJ, i dont want him to Hug a transformer that is why i am telling beaf his errand boy on Nairaland to warn ODECHUKWU. GEJ is looking for trouble.

Re: Tinubu Had 16 Foreign Accounts While In Office? by homerac7: 1:21am On Feb 27, 2011
My friend, ur same "oracle" couldnt use all powers at his disposal as president to punish d guy dn, how much less now dt he's no more d president? I'm not standing for corruption or corrupt officials, but dont over-rate ur "oracle". Tinubu is more dn his match, dat has been proven before. If he failed in virtually all his attempts against Tinubu when he had God-like power, then he has next to no chances through a proxy dts a weakling.

Anyway, i hope d day comes when Tinubu, OBJ, OGD, OUK, IBB, GEJ et al will b lined up and shot for stealing and misappropriating state funds

Re: Tinubu Had 16 Foreign Accounts While In Office? by SEFAGO(m): 1:36am On Feb 27, 2011
Thats funny, cos its obvious that many of us find it deeply offensive and will always find it deeply offensive.
Its like a white man telling us that there is nothing offensive in his calling blacks "niggers." Try another trick, this one is useless.

Why? Huh- so its the same thing as the "N" word. Really? Spare me the fake sentiments. I see no relationship between the "N" word which has historical connotations to slavery, subjugation and prejudice and referring to someone from a riverine area as a fisherman. Its just like me saying Yoruba is the same as the N word lol, such a pathetic analogy cheesy

Yes its obvious why it was offensive- it was a political insult and a well constructed one- it had very little to do with ethnic bigotry. The same way I have a friend from the ND are who refers to hausa people as cattle-rearers. No be lie?

You want me to look for previous posts of yours where you have made ethnic allusions which can be argued to be the same as the "N" word?

So whats wrong with coming from a group identified with fishing? You have made it look like a dishonorable origin itself.
Re: Tinubu Had 16 Foreign Accounts While In Office? by 10cirenoh: 1:37am On Feb 27, 2011
GEJ cannot do nada, let him go and ask OBJ why he couldn't do anything, the only thing OBJ could do was to hold on to Lagos state allocation for some years just to frustrate Tinubu, i repeat GEJ cannot do nada.

Tinubu berated President Goodluck Jonathan for describing ACN chieftains in the South West as rascals during a presidential campaign at the same Mapo Hall venue of the ACN rally.

He said that such language was “uncouth and not presidential.”

He accused the ruling Peoples’ Democratic Party of destroying the country in the last 12 years, and called on Nigerians to reject the party at all levels during the April general elections.

He said, “Jonathan is not the kind of person that we want as president of Nigeria. He is treacherous. He came here and called us rascals. We are rascals for progress, development and for all the good of our people.

“We are not bastards; he came here to abuse our parents; fathers and mothers alike. We are educated people. When did they start education and became civilised in their place? Where is he from?”
Re: Tinubu Had 16 Foreign Accounts While In Office? by ekubear1: 1:44am On Feb 27, 2011
Tinubu fears no man or force in Nigeria. Simple as that.

I don't even necessarily like the guy that much. . . at times I think he is a huge danger to Yorubaland.

But whether you like him or not, he is untouchable. Best way to knock him off is to defeat him from within the ACN, imo. . . or have Yorubaland turn entirely against him (something that hasn't occurred yet.)

But judiciary stuff? A judiciary system that Tinubu has mastered not only in the US, but also in Nigeria?

Good luck with that. . .dude will eat your lunch.
Re: Tinubu Had 16 Foreign Accounts While In Office? by Ramnon2: 1:49am On Feb 27, 2011

Tinubu is a thief, so is Goodluck , so is Obasanjo. All are from the same ethnic group that plague Nigeria (Ole/Barawo ethnic group)

I have no mercy or time for thieves and corruption maggots regardless of their ethnic group

Interesting turn of words. When you aren't being PC, what exactly are you? Don't you think there's a very strange irony in not expecting a politicians words to be politically correct? Abeg, drop the bong jare.

Calling ND people fishermen, Yoruba people Yoruba or Hausa people cattle-rearers is ethnically bigoted and not expected from someone of Tinubu's political rank.
Re: Tinubu Had 16 Foreign Accounts While In Office? by ekubear1: 2:24am On Feb 27, 2011

And what is our equivalent term for Igbo?

PC words and rhetoric for people that you want to vote for you. I cannot blame Tinubu, he does know Nigerian politics and knows that a lot of people from certain regions would prefer to vote for Jonathan than him just based on ethnic lines. He is not trying to win fishermen but farmers. The argument though is about if the insult was meant to be a bigoted remark or a personal attack. Simple common sense dictates the former, emotions dictate the latter. Tinubu was not trying to attack ND people but GEJ people stick to the picture mate.

What does 'Yoruba' even mean?

Yoruba people tend to use Yoruba anytime they are talking to connect words there is not a large surplus of words to use to connect clauses and phrases. So Yoruba keep saying Yoruba (when/then) continuously and igbo people find it funny. They use it as a derogatory term, but I find it funny because its true. I used to remember when I write essays I use it a lot. Also its Yoruba is more commonly used by people who are not really good at speaking yoruba anyways.

Its definitely not offensive as the "N" word. Its just an insult at Yoruba linguistic structure. Only Beaf would claim its ethnically offensive.
Re: Tinubu Had 16 Foreign Accounts While In Office? by ekubear1: 2:33am On Feb 27, 2011

Whatever his meaning, he has beaten off much more than he can chew this time. IMHO, only a miracle can save him; it is almost guaranteed that he will either be locked up within a week at most, or his life will be made very miserable indeed.
Those thinking he is untouchable will be in for a shocker, cos GEJ does his things smoothly, quietly and very effectively (ask Ciroma whose very own wife is now challenging him grin).

Whatever his meaning, ND people feel very slighted.

Most Yoruba people use omoibo- thats common in lagos- but then a lot of yoruba use it in front of igbo people too. Fisherman is definitely not out of order  when you wanna attack your political opponent, the only problem is that people from teh ND would definitely use it as an excuse of bigotry and even more justification to vote for their own grin
Re: Tinubu Had 16 Foreign Accounts While In Office? by ekubear1: 2:41am On Feb 27, 2011
Omo ibo isn't even offensive. It is purely descriptive, is it not?

Omo Ekiti, Omo Hausa, Omo Igbo. Should all be the same?

I guess anything can be viewed as an insult depending on how it is said. . . maybe that is the point.
