In the aftermath of the just concluded Edo State governorship elections, tongues have angrily bickered towards a man called Tinubu.
I'm not here to support him but i'm only here to succintly address some issues here.
First and foremost, you can't be throwing puerile jabs at Tinubu in the disguse of the slogan "Edo no be Lagos" and you expect him to be looking at Obaseki that way.
He only released the video as a result of Obaseki's actions and inactions towards him. Obaseki and other politicians juvenilely celebrating now also have gigantic skeletons in their cupboards.
What many of you don't know is that the reason why most Yorubas love him is that although he is not perfect but he has atleast delivered where it matters most. He was part of the founding fathers of APC, and you expect him not to talk in issues that involves his party, you must be day-dreaming then.
Tinubu is indeed not perfect and may have some flaws but he's still better than others when improvement and progress is needed in a matter.

Why not make a fool of your self - since traveling is now another certificated accomplishment - you subliminal entity - goosh too many Nigerians need to be lobotomized, rubbish walking on it's head

HT Man Utd 1 - 0 Liverpool

No exceptional playing from both teams..

Individually, Van Dyrk , Fred, Lindelof and Wynallum make the first half a bit entertaining

geosegun:
You know what pains you? Because your political and ethnic region lacks a leadership structure that Tinubu seemed to be pioneering in SW. This make the SW has the influence the your region lacks and wish to have? This is the truth. Is it Tinubu that will construct road in my Town? What are you even saying... I am positive you do not have enough exposure for you to have responded in that manner. Instead of you to channel your anger to your so called political money bags in your region. You keep wailing over the leadership of a region that never concerns you. You wail just because of your innate envy and jealousy of the SW region.

Name just one politician, in your region, that does anything different and better than what Tinubu is doing in the SW currently. Most of your politicians are money bags with no iota of vision.

Kriely:
It’s either Nigerians are dumb or they just want to Twist anything that comes with BUHARI.

Chief of Staff is a position that holds more importance than the VP. Only in the absent of the President is the VP more powerful than the COS.

COS handles everything that concerns the appointees of the President. He’s in charge of getting reports from the The ministers then channel it to the President.

This is due process in the whole world.

Wailers are either STUPID or DUMB!!!!

TempleHouse:
You came to Lagos to hawk Fan Milk and Gala and became a high chief in your SE regions, and now you have the effrontery to speak evils of Yoruba Nation.
Why have you not take your children back home if Yoruba is a bad place.
Amadiora will break your head if you dare say evils of the Youruba nation that blessed you when you escaped from your erosion-ravaged Eastern states to Lagos in your teen.

immortalityk:
Hmm
I was telling one Igbo guy on nairaland that if I were to b in charge of Yoruba land,Yoruba land will witness unprecedented development
Truth b told,Yoruba's don't have leaders
From my observation, in southern Nigeria
Yoruba land is far worse
But we just dey look like that

geosegun:
Most commenting here on NL are kids. When you see/meet them in real life you will be disappointed in your person as you would wonder why you have to spend to precious time resounding to kids, probably still being fed by their parent.

They should have asked Tinubu to start soon feeding every Yoruba man?.

Hate him or Love him He is one of the political strategists in Africa in recent times.

Did you realise he has been the only politician creating and building politicians from the scratch? Look at most active and performing politicians in SW. He makes them by God.

That's what some people never liked about home. But the truth is if one want to makes a positive impact in real life. You have to be a true leader by building and helping people as you grow.

StaffofOrayan:
Some LG in Ogun state doesn't have tarred road and it's Tinubu's fault?? Do you clowns even think at all??
Everybody seems to know the problem of Nigeria but can't proffer any solutions,
Tinubu slave?? Hahaha you would have to do better than this slavery rant. I have asked and I would ask again, if Tinubu dies today, would the SW suddenly become eldorado?
The Problem with the SW is that like your father before you, all you do is complain and never participate.
What is the name of your LGA chairman? Your senator?

kayceman:
Tinubu as far as I am concerned has done far better than all the politicians we currently have. Though, he has his own shortcomings. He governed Lagos state for 8 years and developed human capacity, which can be revered to as Human Capital Development (HCD).
Atleast 90% of the commissioners worked under Tinubu in Lagos state has held positions in higher level of governance than any other states commissioners in Nigeria today. Most of them have become governors, ministers, senators and held positions at the the federal levels including the current vice President. (courtesy of Tinubu). He uplifts people under him compared to other politicians that has been ruling since 1999. I have never met him personally neither any of my family members have directly benefitted from him. So nobody should think am defending him because of that. But in reality, He is far above board compared to others we know. It is now left for those people he uplifted to now develop the Southwest, by extension Nigeria. There is an adage that says you can take a horse to the river, but can't force the horse to drink water.

Ok,do u know the kind of things I'm talking about?

That is naive to say the least

Ok But my main problem is bigger than this U still don't understand me Whatever sha

Nowenuse:
You are actually someone who is naturally full of bitterness and hatred. So you need to actually work on yourself if you will progress in life.

First of all, I guess I shouldn't have used the word 'many', perhaps just 'some'. I never said all Edo people have nupe ancestry, but I said there are many Edo people who do. This includes my in-law and her clan. She is from South Ibie, from the Azellamah family. They are of Nupe origin as well as many others. The caliphate through mostly the Nupes and fewer Hausa-fulanis brought islam to Edo north.

Almost all the tribes of Edo north actually came from Benin kingdom, I never disputed that with you! The fact that a tribe descends from somewhere does not mean that centuries after, everyone in that tribe still has that ancestry. More people from different places could have settled with that tribe and integrated. This is where I am coming from. The person I quoted with my comment was talking about how many Edo people answer Nupe names and I came in, yet you just choose to rush in with bitterness without understanding where I am coming from.

Deadlytruth:
You are an ignoramus of gargantuan proportions. Etsakos were a clan in the ancient Benin Kingdom who had to migrate out of it in protest of harsh treatment meted out to them by the reigning king at that period. No Edo people are of Nupe Origin. Cut that dirty crap.
In one line you claim Afemais are of Nupe origin. In another line you claim that their being captured as slaves by Nupes led to the introduction of Nupe names to them.
How could Nupe names have to later be introduced to a people who were supposedly already of Nupe origin from the beginning? Can't you see that your stories are not adding up?
You think the name "Afemai" actually defines every ethnicity in Edo North? It is actually an Etsako appellation but loosely applied to the Senatorial District just for political expediency. Edo North is not an ethnically homogeneous area at all.
Stop peddling ignorance.
Another evidence of your ignorance is the claim that the spread of Islam ended in Agbede. There are actually indegeous moslems in Ewu which is further south of Agbede. Mr. Man, you know nothing about Edo State. I will advise you to keep off issues concerning the place so you won't continue to embarrass yourself in a public forum.

WiLdFLame:
now I see you don’t know anything about southwest. Come 2023 the Yoruba nation will be locked down for APC. Large blockvotes that will scare everyone . This is the firsttime the south west will be working really hard with power , strategy and investment in to getting the presidency. 2023 will be just like 1993 in terms of votes

LegendHero:
You are totally correct tho.

Osinbajo will get 85% vote or more in the SW but I’m afraid of the core north vote.

Fashola will get the 85% vote or more also in SW and will get more vote than an Osinbajo in the north by normal reasoning.

Tinubu is too powerful, some northern cabals might even want to work against him coz they wouldn’t want someone that powerful as the president. Although this argument is left to debate.

He is not even a Yoruba s but one of those small small tribes from plateau state

truth is this is difficult, I will confess but it is the simples and best way out.
the most important thing here is the truth and genuineness of heart and make them realize this.

Yes, it takes a thief to know another thief. However, I'm yet to see Buhari connection in the write up.

Bluntemperor:
Nigerians can't stop to amaze me.Is it that Politics now determine everything without our sense of reasoning and good conscience?where were these Buhari critics when PDP spent 16 years without a single person being probed when Nigeria was being robbed by the ruling party? are we that forgetful?
we are not fazed that the president had spent 3 and half years,we now pour our venoms as if to nail.we know the tricks of the opposition like PDP, de-market the president and everything about him,but such method has failed already. all those who wants to come and rule us through the back-door is too late.God bless Nigeria.

Tareq1105:
I can't see where Baba Buhari is connected here.

I think Atiku is in pain bcoz they are selling companies he planned to come and buy.

I want to submit that this is stock crime and it should be investigated and punished the culprits

Stalwert:
[s][/s]

Supporter of looters, make shame do you small. Today Nigeria is suffering because the only thing you pdp people know is stealing and more stealing.


Imagine for 16 years no single completed rail project by PDP

less than 4 years APC has completed 2 and will finish a 3rd by may. Have some shame, work hard as God bless the hands that work.

Sirjamo:
PDP still holds the record of the most corrupt government the world has ever seen

It might take some time, but Buhari will eventually kill grand corruption, though nobody can kill systemic corruption sighted in this report, it require collective efforts of all Nigerians.

Omooba77:
Hmmmm. Those who are shouting corruption against others are more corrupted than corruption itself.
