I'm in the energy sector too and the effect on climate change is on us all, It's not a natural occuring phenomenon it's man induced.
Is that the respond he would've give if he was asked questions about climate change in the UNGA. If like you said there's politics behind climate change then tinubu don't understand the politics.

OldNairalander:
His response is too non chalant and shows lack of understanding of the question asked.
Climate change is a major national issue in Nigeria now.
Fulani farmers clash that gave rise to bandits is because of rapid desertification in the North, which is pushing more herdsmen southward. Everyone is suffering it now.
You don't need Western money to encourage afforestation and invest in cheaper energy sources. Gas availability and affordability alone can help curb the use of firewood by 90%.
Poorer countries like Rwanda and Namibia are making efforts at investing in green energy to reduce climate change.

Let's stop making mockery of ourselves in the name of tribalism and religious affiliation.
He simply goofed with the answer.
BTW there no connection between something holy and poison.
If it's poisoned then it's not holy. BAT is suffering from dementia and no amount of propaganda can erase that fact

Techhybeam:
I don't think there is any need for his idiomatic expression. He is talking as if finding solution to rapid climate change is not for the benefit of all.

kingyakos:



Oga rest abeg. Tinubu goofed big-time on the climate change question, he's a complete wire touch.

seunmsg:


You and folks like you are the ones embarrassing yourself with poor understanding of the subject of discussion. Tinubu gave a very strong and brilliant answer to the question. His analogy of the poor church rat (Nigeria) and the poisoned communion (climate change) was spot on.

The fact that he’s even willing to stand up to the west to guarantee our finances before any climate change talk says a lot about his understanding of the matter. We need all the damn fossil fuel for forex, electricity and rapid industrialization. Tinubu is simply saying Climate change is a poisoned food we can’t afford to eat because we are hungry. A very deep and brilliant response if you understand what is at stake.

Toluwanise247:


Because you don’t go to school. The statement is very correct. How can you prevent the church rat from eating poisoned communion. The only available food in church that rat can eat is the poisoned communion which means there is no way to stop the rat expect you provide another food, back to climate change who supply us the harmful things that cause climate change? They produce car and make it very expensive . The average man in this country can not afford new car and he must use car he doesn’t have alternative than to get tokubo, within 2years tokubo will release smoke. The westerners have turn Africa to dropping site and they are preaching climate change in that same area come on guy reason how possible?
Educated illiterate or uneducated illiterate can’t understand Tinubu listen to him with pure mind and you will learn. Tinubu is been caution because he have many enemy as a friend….

udele1:
Just like Buhari, always looking to the west for money. He will borrow more than buhari for consumption.

This is why Nigeria needs Peter Obi now.

So if the West does not give you money, you will not know that deforestation is not healthy?

And I have noticed that tinubu always uses church to make jokes.

He said if buhari chose the pope as running mate he wont win.

Said speaking in tongues was inherited from Bible.

Now church rat and holy communion.

Can't he use Muslim Koran for illustration and jokes.

If they don't give us money, we will cut all our trees and use it for firewood. What a daft response.

No wonder he advised this government to print more money and they did. Today, inflation is 17years high.

What did u say this man did in lagos again?

HomoSapiien:
Tinubu is very right on this and here’s why:

According to the United Nations Environment Programme, the entire continent of Africa contributes 2 to 3% of global green house emissions. By contrast, China and America collectively contribute over 40% of the global green house emissions. Nigeria, the largest country in Africa by population contributes less than 1% of global green house emissions. Working on decreasing our carbon emissions is important but even if we decrease it completely, it would have very little to no impact on climate change because we account for less than 1% of emissions.

The China, US, Japan, Brazil, Russia, Canada and Germany account for most of the green house emissions in the world. They need to implement policies to curb their emissions before we can see significant change globally and even then, it'd take years for the changes to become apparent. I do not like Tinubu either but on this point I agree with his sentiment. The burden of change is on the West and not Africa, talk less of Nigeria. Our president should be focused on the issues that affect the everyday life of an average Nigerian.

Building infrastructures, developing strong economic policies, strengthening our financial institutions, tackling insecurity etc. Those should carry far more priority than climate change.

I am a Christian n will be voting for Tinubu whether he chose Elrufia or Shettima. Let God come n ask me personally for the blood of any christians killed during their time as he ask for the blood of Muslims killed under a Christian Christian Governor in Igboland oloriburuku bigoted wretched motherfurker

I think some universities make further mathematics compulsory for admission.
without further mathematics, you would not be able to perform well in engineering undergraduate studies.

smileyoo:
this is real serious. so if tinubu have no genuine educational certificates, how was he able to manipulate the system to became a governor in 1999-2007. and even recently this same endemic corrupt system also cleared him to emerge as the APC flag bearer for next year 's election ?
if all these serious allegations had been in public domain, for decades, why was he not investigated and disqualified by the system ? so sad that APC had a viable alternative to tinubu, in the person of a well know professor yemi Osinbajo, but because of the detects of the stomach, the corrupt delegates opted for a man of questionable character.
but despite tinubu's awful baggages, i still prefer him to Atiku, because Nigeria as a nation may not survive another 8yrs of northern misrule.
presently, peter obi remain the best viable option for Nigeria to genuinely move forward in the right direction, but will this same corrupt system allow that to manifest ?

redcliff:


Speaking of logic, I will break it down for you incase you did not get the logic:

1. Age should not be a criteria for good governance.
2. The present president is old and performed poorly, part of which was age related.Therefore....
3. I will not be voting for a presidential candidate who has passed a certain age threshold.
That is logic. Chew on it.

redcliff:


well, I agree with you that you cannot juxtapose age and make it a yardstick for good governance or performance and I totally agree with you that Buhari, even younger, would not have been different from what he currently is. But now, those metrics, are not in favor of Tinubu which is the age. It would be safe to say that part of Buhari's ailment was as a result of his old age. He spent alot of time outside the country treating himself for sicknesses when he could have been working. Its just like discarding the criminal record of an applicant for a job just because you think that he has the right skills for said job. You will just not get the job based on other metrics no matter how excellent and in your favor other areas of strength are. The compendium of criteria we are utilizing to evaluate candidates, one factor could be more important that others to different people and for me, his age is the most important factor. This is how I feel about Tinubu's candidature.

Felincous:

I'm a Christian, I don't vote for people because of religion. What did Peter Obi achieve when he was the Governor of Anambra state.
If he failed in governing small Anambra State, how will he govern Nigeria without failing again?

redcliff:


To be honest with you all, and I do hope that you see my argument from my point of view. Tinubu had many things that went well for him given that from 1999 he was the first governor to handle Lagos after a long military regime. Lagos has always been the centre of excellence, anyday and anytime. You need to be someone like Buhari to not make anything good in the 8years you handle a state like Lagos, now using buhari as a comparison is the worst case scenario. Tinubu also had the privilege of being in opposition that did very well after pdp. Infact, he single handedly carried AD to the point where it is now (APC), as much as you see it as a disadvantage this helped him become much more powerful and influential in his own right. Tinubu is a shrewd politician and i agree with that. But were you living in Lagos when Tinubu was governor, did you also live in Lagos when Fashola was governor? If so, you will agree with me that in terms of development, Tinubu did not do much for lagos as compared to his successor Fashola, as far as the visibility rather than the actual physicality of the work that was done in their combined 16years. This could have been for many reasons. one of which I would deduce is the fact that he (Tinubu) probably laid the ground work on what other governors after him ran on, he was also able to control (which was big to his advantage) the choice and selection after him for over 20+ years.

Its easier to see the pain points of others from outside the circle, rather than when you are in it, and especially, when you have the machinery to control it, you can swing the tides your way (which I believe, is what he "Tinubu" did). With that being said, Tinubu under different conditions, such as his age, may have been the best fit for a president given his influence, power and wealth of experience but, I will say, we do not want another Buhari in power. we should not deceive ourselves, Tinubu is way older than how old he claims to be. For this reason alone (his age), I am not supporting him. Nigeria is at a time now where we need someone who will hit the ground running, is not slow, can be at multiple meetings in a short span, will be physically present and to be honest, Tinubu is not that person. We cannot have another 8years of someone that will behave like Buhari in terms of health status. Also, if I was to choose between the two top contenders, I would have gone for an Atiku because he is an inclusive person, he looks physically healthy than Tinubu and also has experience and businesses which semi-automatically translate to the fact that he will be able to manage an economy well.

Then again, if you look at the other spectrum, why will someone want to even vote the both of them in the first place when there is someone much younger, also has a good track record as a former governor, is intellectually sound like the others, able to hit the ground running and has already given snippets of what he can do to move the economy forward which revolves around cutting waste, and increasing production, getting people out of poverty which i think is a good way in a sense to solve many of the issues we are facing today. first of all, these earlier mentioned themes are encompassing because they have sub-themes embedded in them. First off, how do you increase production. This means that you will have to work on the factors of production, Land, Capital, Labor and Entrepreneurship. They also have their sub-themes and the depth goes on and on, and you will need to tackle all these sub-themes before you can say yes, you increased production. You cannot increase production without fixing electricity, you also cannot increase production without working on the distribution channels which also has to do with how those goods get to where they get to. This means that transportation, roads, storage has to be fixed.

I am just giving you a snippet to how these things actually work and work well for you to say yes by tackling these, you increased production, got people out of poverty and also increased the capacity and earnings of the economy you are governing. This is the reason I prefer a Peter Obi because I do believe he is sound, has a clear statement of purpose, and will also check the factors that has been a topic of discussion for a long time now, a SE presidency (it is only fair that we see what SE can do at the helm of affairs. It can never be half as bad as the present administration) , a Christian (a Northern muslim just did his 8years) and a much younger presidential candidature.

I like your write up to some extend, but I do not believe an individual can run a government. You cannot compare Buhari with Tinubu, even at old age. I can tell you, if Buhari is much more younger, I do not see him performing better than now. You cannot make an objective decision between performance and age based on that comparism . I think, young people in Nigeria need to be more deep in their thinking faculty.

In fact,Buhari of Military government who was much more younger is of no different to Buhari that is now older. Experience has showned that, your past will always influence your present performance. Nigeria, been a dynamic country, with diverse culture and religion orientation required someone who has been detrabalised to rule Nigeria at this point. Despite Yar Ardua health challenges, he was still the best president we had in Nigeria.

mercychigo:
I heard he is corrupt! I also heard he brought a bullion van loaded with cash on the eve of 2019 presidential election. Finally, I heard from reliable sources that EFCC is afraid of him. Someone also said that he is very kind to street gangs because he was a former drug lord. It's well with Nigeria oh. But from the bottom of my heart I wish him the best in his political endeavors and same to all other political aspirants.

How blind are you, if therr is job opening for a thousand people, tinubu would give thugs and touts 999 and his daughter the last opening, you aint his daughter so who r u

Built2last:


Tinubu investment with money stolen from you people. what has happened to your brains. Lagos is the most indebted state in Nigeria. think. Remove tribe and religion for the interest of Nigeria. Northerners and other Yorubas campaining for Obi are Igbos too. Can you see Obi is a goal. The IPOB tag you guys want to deploy is not working. Many Yorubas will die for Obi. Same with Many northerners. Get ready Campaign will start August 8. Thats when you should drink the snipper. E go shock una

Most of those projects in Lagos were PPP projects if you know what that means.

You people should stop saying rubish that someone stole money. Most of our past leaders will be talking about not having properties in Lagos, Abuja and London. Please, anyone that tell you about that, is an indication of bad thing to happen if such person should become the president. As far as I am concern, I like Tinubu personality without any form of religious and ethnic bias. Tinubu should steal our money and
invest that money is better than someone that will say at the end of my tenure, I left some money in the treasury without any growth in the real sector.

I think you people should stop supporting poverty and self profess integrity people in government. History has showned that it does not end well. We do not want someone that will say, I have no shoe, I have no house in Lagos. Please, poverty no dey tire you people?

This is good, but then am trying to figure out why O'level grade is times 3.75 that of first degree grade. Some one here mentioned that he has the original scoring sheet use for this year Interview and that the score for first degree is 8 points. I don't seem to make any sense out of this

A sign that the gods really want to destroy Tinubu and his crave for power is when he picks another Muslim as running mate.
