2023: Our Problem With Tinubu. by Penguin2: 9:56am On Jan 23, 2022
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 them 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.

6) HIS 2015 TREACHERY AGAINST SOUTHERN NIGERIA

In 2015, Tinubu went into alliance with the north against a sitting Southern President.

He accused Jonathan of marginalizing the Southwest but Jonathan supported Mulikat Akande, a Yoruba woman, to become the House of Rep speaker but Tinubu ordered his ACN boys at the House of Rep to support Tambuwal, a northerner, instead. When Mulikat eventually lost out through Tinubu’s instrumentality, he (Tinubu) turned around and used the press to sing how Jonathan is marginalizing the Yoruba in his govt.

In January of 2012, Tinubu organized protesters to Ojota square to protest against subsidy removal but this same subsidy is about to be removed and Tinubu is quiet.

Tinubu and his media allies sang to crescendo, how Jonathan is incompetent because he can’t defeat Boko Haram. Buhari has spent more than 6 years and Nigeria’s problem has increased from not only Boko Haram but bandits and rampaging Fulani herdsmen. But Tinubu has lost his voice.

Some people say Tinubu was simply playing politics. But I say that anybody who can play such dangerous politics should also be repaid dangerously. Tinubu’s brand of opposition politics was not informed by altruistic good of Nigeria but by his quest for power and how he move closest to the presidency.

For that, we say that for his treachery against the south, Tinubu is unfit to take whatever is due for the south and that he shall be repaid in his own coin in the coming elections.


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 not some emotional tantrums and insults.

Penguin is a bird of reason!!!

Tinubu urchins are the most senseless set of people on Earth. Very wicked and hateful. They can't promote osinbajo which all Nigerians wanted irrespective of tribe yet they are rallying against a corrupt and wicked man to come and destroy the remaining part Nigeria where buhari stopped, Just to mock and spite igbos without knowing that all Nigerians will suffer if that drug bullion vagabond ever takes the mantle of leadership in Nigeria.

If your father worked hard and was the governor of your state, sends you to school and you came out in flying colours, with the opportunity your father has would you start carrying your CV to different companies in search for a job?

If your father is president and you are qualified to be a senate president, would you prefer your father give the position to someone else because you are his child?

You guys should get a life and blame your parents for whatever is frustrating you. No election has ever been won on social media let alone do these politicians care about what your opinion is. So keep it to yourself and pray for a better Nigeria.

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 them 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.

6) HIS 2015 TREACHERY AGAINST SOUTHERN NIGERIA

In 2015, Tinubu went into alliance with the north against a sitting Southern President.

He accused Jonathan of marginalizing the Southwest but Jonathan supported Mulikat Akande, a Yoruba woman, to become the House of Rep speaker but Tinubu ordered his ACN boys at the House of Rep to support Tambuwal, a northerner, instead. When Mulikat eventually lost out through Tinubu’s instrumentality, he (Tinubu) turned around and used the press to sing how Jonathan is marginalizing the Yoruba in his govt.

In January of 2012, Tinubu organized protesters to Ojota square to protest against subsidy removal but this same subsidy is about to be removed and Tinubu is quiet.

Tinubu and his media allies sang to crescendo, how Jonathan is incompetent because he can’t defeat Boko Haram. Buhari has spent more than 6 years and Nigeria’s problem has increased from not only Boko Haram but bandits and rampaging Fulani herdsmen. But Tinubu has lost his voice.

Some people say Tinubu was simply playing politics. But I say that anybody who can play such dangerous politics should also be repaid dangerously. Tinubu’s brand of opposition politics was not informed by altruistic good of Nigeria but by his quest for power and how he move closest to the presidency.

For that, we say that for his treachery against the south, Tinubu is unfit to take whatever is due for the south and that he shall be repaid in his own coin in the coming elections.


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 not some emotional tantrums and insults.

Penguin is a bird of reason!!!


Whatever your problem is with Tinubu, we don't GAF! Go back to Potopoto Republic and start with your Governors!

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, Tinubu, Tinubu.
You and your like will forever be put to shame. Tinubu no be your problem, you are your own problem. His matter you put on your head like street hawkers selling gala will continue to give you sleepless nights till he becomes the next President.

You better buckle up and continue to solicit for votes for the failure obi peter that cannot lace even Tunde Fashola's shoe when we are talking about politics in Nigeria.

My only advise to you is that you stay away from rat poison sir.

Some people from your place are known to consume it when things don’t go their way.

I believe you heard about Rataki before?

I logically itemized my points but instead of you to respond to them you are talking about Peter Obi and shoe lace undecided

No I think you mean Nigerians with empty brains like yourself. No sane Nigerian will dedicate time to make a senseless write-up on social media.

If your father worked hard and was the governor of your state, sends you to school and you came out in flying colours, with the opportunity your father has would you start carrying your CV to different companies in search for a job?

If your father is president and you are qualified to be a senate president, would you prefer your father give the position to someone else because you are his child?

You guys should get a life and blame your parents for whatever is frustrating you. No election has ever been won on social media let alone do these politicians care about what your opinion is. So keep it to yourself and pray for a better Nigeria.
You made no sense

We told them Tinubu is a no they said it's hatred.
We told them prior to 2015 who buhari is they called us wailers.
Tinubu urchins are the most senseless set of people on Earth. Very wicked and hateful. They can't promote osinbajo which all Nigerians wanted irrespective of tribe yet they are rallying against a corrupt and wicked man to come and destroy the remaining part Nigeria where buhari stopped, Just to mock and spite igbos without knowing that all Nigerians will suffer if that drug bullion vagabond ever takes the mantle of leadership in Nigeria.

So you Igbos truly believe in One Nigeria after all but just like to play the victim card all the time when things didn't go your way.

Thousands of your people are being killed all around the world on drug related matters and you are not ashamed of that. Tinubu who made his money working for Mobil before venturing into politics is the drug baron to you deranged fellows.

Only if such epistles are directed towards explaining how their choice candidates are better than Tinubu. But trust them, they must repeat what they did in 2015 general elections and now be expecting a different result.

Btw, are they no longer biafrans? I thought ipob cannibals said there won't be elections in 2023. undecided

See your life. When you are bursted, nowhere to hide and nothing to present as facts again. Rat poison ko, elephant poison ni.

Your region is burning and it will continue to because you people don't like to reason like people with knowledge and wisdom. Fix your region first before trying to fix others.
