I knew it was over immediately I heard they were called.

Na wa o. So there was fire outbreak in Aba and Umuahia same day.

Penguin2:
A leopard they say does not change its spots. That’s what we reminded Nigerians in 2015 but they ignored us and today everybody is having a runny nose. That same way we are shouting on top of our voices against Tinubu hoping that this time Nigerians will heed.

Tinubu proponents have been trying so hard to sell the Tinubu candidacy but the more energy the seem to invest in the project, the more greater section of Nigerians seem to have a hardline stance against the thought of Tinubu succeeding Buhari.

These Tinubu proponents have sometimes, if not most of the time, accused anti-Tinubu elements of hatred or other demeaning names but I want to use this medium to itemize our problem with their principal and why we do not wish to see him succeed Buhari.

But before then, I would like to let you know that this piece will not be talking about Tinubu’s age and true origin or whatever. You know why? Because as much we want the youth to take over, there’s nothing wrong with having our fathers still take charge if the people so desire. And about Tinubu’s true origin, I feel those things are unnecessary noise because his age and true origin has nothing to do with his capacity. So, now you know I’m not going to talking about his age and true origin, let’s get down to business. I hope say you don chop breakfast sha. Not breakfast of heartbreak o. Lol.

1) LAGOS TOUTS
Let me tell you a very short story. I accompanied a friend who moved from Enugu to Lagos when he moved. One of the greatest shocks I had was that at the entrance of his estate in Lekki, a group of tout waved down the cargo bus and insisted that they be settled before the bus enters. We thought it was a joke but when they insisted, we paid.

Now this guy had some Turkish Chair shipped from abroad. The day he went to pick it from Wharf, these same guys waved down the cargo truck carrying these chairs and insisted they must be paid 5k before they pass. We asked them why we were paying and they said “we should go ask our papa”.

Chibuzor, my classmate, came to Lagos to drive Korope after work wasn’t forthcoming after school. His route was to be from Ajah to Lakwe. But Chibuzor could not continue because he was paying over 3k to touts everyday and as such won’t be able to make delivery. Now Lagos govt has officially added #800 to that with MC Oluomo boldly telling the world that the new fare does not affect “union” payment.

These are just my personal experiences. Others have their tales with these touts. And they are untouchable because they derive their power from Tinubu their godfather. From MC Oluomo to the least of them all at every junction in Lagos, they live and behave as though they own the world.

Now, all this mess started with Tinubu. And I heard they have structure. With every group of agberos having their commander who reports to Tinubu. They are boys used in executing elections.

Give Tinubu Nigeria and he will bring MC Oluomo from Lagos to Abuja. He will raise touts in every Abuja junction. And not just Abuja. With his love for NIRTW touts, Tinubu will resurrect NURTW in every state and people them with social irritants. “Owo mi da” will now be transported from Lagos to all over Nigeria.

2) FAMILY IN DIFFERENT POSITIONS IN LAGOS
Seyi Tinubu is charge of advertising in the entire Lagos. Make Tinubu president and Seyi Tinubu will be in charge of advertising in the whole of Nigeria.

Tinubu’s daughter is Iyaloja General of Lagos, consistently imposing exorbitant fees on peasant traders in different Lagos markets. Make Tinubu president and his daughter will become Iyaloja General of Nigeria. With every Nigerian market under her command with freedom to impose whatever fee she so desires. You think it can’t be done? Wait until the army is deployed to enforce the decision of Iyaloja.

Remi Tinubu, his wife, has been Senator since 2011. Despite the position and money Tinubu has gotten, he wouldn’t allow another person ascend to that position, it must be his wife. If that is not greed, I wonder what you will call it. Make Tinubu president and Remi Tinubu might just become the Senate President. Are you in doubt?

3) TINUBU DOES NOT SEE THE WHOLE COUNTRY AS HIS CONSTITUENCY
Yes. To Tinubu, the map of Nigeria only contains North and the Southwest.

Am I wrong? I don’t think so. Since 2015 that Tinubu shot to national prominence after APC won, he has NEVER visited any state in the Southeast and Southsouth. I would like to be corrected if I’m wrong.

Southeast has been in turmoil and Tinubu has never raised an eyebrow. You know why? Because it’s not his business. “The Okoros can all burn in hell if that’s what they choose”.

But not so with the affairs of the north. Tinubu is always paying condolence visit to northerners, even those who lost their cat. He doesn’t blink in making huge donations to help cushion the effects of banditry or market fires as the case maybe.

But a whole Alex Ekwueme died, a former Vice President of Nigeria, and Tinubu never paid a condolence visit.

Even his SWAGA campaigners continued in that line by making consultations everywhere in the north and southwest but never considered any traditional ruler or political stakeholder in the SS and SE worth consulting.

Now how do you expect us to vote a man who has stratified Nigeria even before ascending power? From Tinubu’s body language, it’s obvious he’s just tolerating Igbos in Lagos because he doesn’t have the Presidential powers yet. If he ever gets it, I can only imagine what he would do.

4) SINCE 1999, TINUBU HAS BEEN THE GOVERNOR OF LAGOS

Yes! You read it right and I’m sure you know it’s true. Since 1999, Tinubu has been ruling Lagos even after his tenure expired in 2007.

To perpetuate himself in power he established the notorious Governor Advisory Council (GAC); a body only existent in Lagos. This GAC decides who becomes Governor in Lagos and consequently teleguide his actions and decisions while in govt.

Akinwunmi Ambode went against this GAC and got his fingers badly burnt.

That’s what Tinubu will do with Nigeria. Vote for Tinubu as president once and you have voted him as president of Nigeria for as long as he is alive. Because just like he established a dynasty in Lagos, so shall he establish it in the entire country such that at the end of his tenure, only those who he chooses shall ascend any political post in Nigeria. It’s who he is. And he can’t change now.

5) ALPHA BETA
The Alpha Beta saga is so infamous that every political observer in Nigeria knows about it.

Tinubu established a company to help Lagos govt collect tax and shall be collecting 10% of whatever is generated.

This is a function that ordinarily should be handled by Lagos State Board of Internal Revenue but I’m sure that parastatal has been rendered redundant.

Vote for Tinubu and Alpha Beta will replace FIRS. And yes, the company will be collecting 10% of every amount it helps the govt generate. If he could do it in Lagos, he can do it in Abuja. You won’t stop him when he would have the entire army and police under his command.

So this piece doesn’t get too long, I’m going to stop here.

I believe I’ve laid out very practical and logical reasons and would want to see whoever is responding to me respond to each point with practical and logical counter and some emotional tantrums and insults.

Penguin is a bird of reason!!!

Waiting for the attackers to arrive

Michelle70:
There is no loyalty, its just hatred for Buhari and APC.
Even the SS has moved on from the 2015 defeat but igbos feel it will bruise their ego if they do away with PDP and PDP is using that to marginalize the Igbos.

My advice for Ndigbo is that if PDP didn't give them presidential ticket come 2023, they should kick the party out of the region, they shouldnt reason the embarrassment and mockery they will face from other region.

South South moved on but kicked out APC in Edo just recently. How many PDP states do you have in the South East?

Bolaji26:

5-7=-2.

China to the rescue.

You can do both.

Tingotoe:
A judgement from an intimidated state high court judge? Has the money entered his bank account yet?

Intimidated judge who threw away his other prayers?

Tingotoe:
Now who would we rather believe? The lawyer to a terrorist or the FG?

The 'terrorist' has secured a 1 billion naira judgement compensation against the FG in Nigeria.

Kollins11:
Nigerians need a man like Tinubu who is intellectual, versatile and very suited for the job. Asiwaju Tinubu is extremely capable and competent to lead Nigeria to greater heights. Are we not proud of Lagos State??

Please Nigerians let us vote for Tinubu, he's still young and healthy. He's just 69 yrs old.

This picture go fine for your campaign banner bro. You will win many votes for your party with it.

Saintmary:
Is it this BAD?

Nigerians know nothing about IVF.


Please google about it and stop embarrassing yourself.


Even loooooooong after menopause, lots of women are carrying pregnancies to term. And as long as she gave birth she's legally the mother regardless of where she got the egg or sperm cells from.

Not just about carrying another's baby, she can carry her own baby if she had opted to freeze her eggs before menopause. Many people are doing this now.

Lol. Baba don ganja finish come mount pulpit.

BiafranPatriot:
Confirm your ticket from your lawyer. make sure your payment is registered.

MrBrownJay1:
thats a superdumb question!!!! whats the relation between her sex video and musical lyrics/poetry?’

Bros I'm reeling with laughter here. Which kind dumb question be that?

Houses in Lilu forest? Who builds duplexes in a forest. I guess this reporter thinks South East is like Sambisa forest .

lecturer50:
I forgot to mention that I told the people around that there are women who are willing to come to my house because of the food, the chicken and all.

When I bought the biggest vitaform for N95,000, there was a girl who came just because of that foam, the first day I bought it.

Where I am staying, there are so many girls in hotels around, tall, fair/dark and beautiful girls whom people pay as low as N2,000 to have sex with.

If I were that pressed, would I give a divorced woman N20,000 just to have sex with her?

I would have rather paid at most N5,000 to sleep with a more beautiful and young girl than pay N20,000 for a divorced woman with kids.

My neighbor use to bring a girl and spent the night with her, after which he would pay her as low as N5,000 according to what he told me.

To have sex is not even costly.

Although I am not into sex stuff.

Maybe the reason I don't like sex much is that it is cheap and easy to get it. We don't like what is common and cheap.

The woman wants to lure you into sex with her.

Maxymilliano:
Dayo Apara, the erstwhile MD of Alpha Beta consulting has been right all along on the allegations of money laundering, fraud, tax evasion, and other corrupt practices by the company.

The out of court settlements is just a quest by Tinubu for the former MD to lower his voice as 2023 beckons

Please off the mic

My stand remains that anybody caught enforcing the illegal sit-at-home, killing innocent people in the South East and destroying the properties of ndi Igbo or even tagging any Igbo man who has a dissenting opinion to their madness a saboteur in order to kill them, must be brought down immediately. Such a person is an arch enemy of Ndi Igbo and a terrorist who should be taken out immediately.

Big boys

adekolaelect:
oga Rest !!! Buhari that said you poeple are 5% Dot knows what he was saying . Bubu became 2 term president without you poeples' vote .what do you want tell us again ?

Go and review election stats before talking trash.

hmohammed:
Shut up. Kwara is not southwest

Bororo. E pain am.

South West should be vigilant against the influx of Fulani( Bororo specie) in their forests. This is getting out of hand.

Campaign fund.

Before nko. Lagosians must support their Oga.

Maxymilliano:
Rice rice everywhere but none to eat.

This might be part of 2023 gimmick to fool people into voting APC .

One million bags of rice stored yet people cannot afford it. Last last Na tourist centre Dem go turn am to.

Bros the thing weak me. Do you know the cost of transporting those rice from the farms to Abuja for this exhibition? What proof is there that the rice was grown in Nigeria and not rebbaged in a warehouse? Will this not create scarcity and rise in cost of price and other food commodities?

Michelle70:
Rice pyramid?
Wahala for 3rd world country

No be small wahala. In this computer age someone is still building pyramids with bags of rice. Very soon they will exhibit bags of money realised from the sales of cow to prove their hard work.

1 million bags of rice yet the price is going up everyday.

APGA should do quick and takeover the state.

AbijaJ:
Osinbajo and Ojudu should call some of Prof's supporters who are attacking Tinubu to order. Politics doesn't have to degenerate to rofo rofo fight because there'll still be life after politics.

It's not a crime if Prof chooses to contest against Asiwaju, but it doesn't have to degenerate into the type of slugfest that some Osinbajo supporters are making it into.

There's a particular group that calls itself Osinbajo Support Group that I suspect is a peopled by PDP supporters, that has been attacking Tinubu for aspiring for the presidency as if it is not within his right to do so. Ojudu and Prof should call such people to order.

I think your advice should have been reserved for Tinubu supporters who cannot tolerate opposition or criticism of their principal. If they don't tag them IPOB, they call them traitors and betrayers forgetting that Tinubu has always played opposition politics until APC took over power from PDP.

Lol

Rupertek:
Igbo nwa gbukwaa gi ebe ahu. See the frenzy yesterday as thousands of igbos scrambled to leave south east yesterday for hoodlums and rascals. It is a pity that igbos igbos can think like you.
Why not you try enforcing your useless sit at home in your Igbo Asaba?

Thousands of Igbos from which state? . There is no sit-at-home today in Umuahia where Nnamdi Kanu comes from? Keep wallowing in ignorance. O bu nna gi ka igbo hate g'egbu. Uchu.
