Through the former. Whats your grouse with the man...?

He doesn't want to support Amina Mohammed,Bianka Ojukwu and Akin Adesina for the 2023 presidency.

He knows he has nothing to offer Nigeria if he rules for 8 years: corruption will increase, electricity distribution and supply will stay the same,road network will not improve, healthcare will remain stagnant as he fliess to France and UK for medical treatment and education institutions will remains comatose.

"I am surprised that many people disregard the fact that the end for almost all drug dealers ends up being the cemetery or the jail cell, we do not know of any case where a drug dealer has "retired"~ Juan Pablo Escobar

One thing you cannot take away from Pablo Escobar and Bola Tinubu is their mastery of third world politics and understanding the power structure in the geographical areas in which they held sway.

Trouble with the law: They both got in trouble with the law when it comes to cocaine trafficking and money laundering. Pablo Escobar is the most famous drug lord whose fame and notoriety will never be forgotten in the history books. On the other hand Bola Tinubu got in trouble in United States in 1992 for receiving proceeds of drug trafficking paid into his account to the tune of $460k from two drug barons who were directors in his company Campass Finance and was charged with money laundering and forfeited the amount, and hence why he gained his famous nickname Bobo Chicago.

Politics: Pablo Escobar contested for the Columbia Congree to gain immunity from prosecution and won in 1982. He was eventually expelled two years later and lost his immunity. Tinubu began his foray into politics shortly after he forfeited $460k in United States in 1992 for drug trafficking and money laundering in 1992 and would later govern Lagos state from 1999-2007. They both understand the power structure of their respective geographical area and understand the power blocks:market women,NURTW,traditional rulers,religious network and compromised security agents and how to appease them to maintain their stranglehold on power.

Management Style: They both believe and practice the mafia management style in managing people and resources. They believe in godfatherism and have underbosses and capos to carry out orders. Tinubu has been the godfather of Lagos state since he left office in 2007 and anoints and disposes leaders as he pleases and has MC Oluomo the Capo to carry out orders through his foot soldiers in the streets, who come in very handy during elections.

Wealth: Dubbed "The King of Cocaine," Escobar is the wealthiest criminal in history, having amassed an estimated net worth of US$30 billion by the time of his death. Bola Tinubu is reputed to be one of the richest men on the African continent with lucrative stream of income such as 10% commission through his personal company Alpha Beta in Lagos state that presents the largest annual budget in oil rich Nigeria, multi-million dollar annual pension,interests in media , construction,real estate,retail and land holdings.

Taste For Luxury: They both have a taste for the finer things in life: private jets, foreign properties and luxury vehicles.

Robinhood: They are both reputed to be "Robinhoods" after handing cash to the poor. You can find on any given day hundreds lined up outside their residences begging for alms.





Waaooooooh, fully loaded intercontinental nuclear weapon.
Please help me advice tinubu to withdraw from any elective post and take his rest the material facts are too heavy
