What he meant is that the reason why we all speak different language was due to what happened on the Babylonian Tower in Genesis. I'm sure you know the story.


Why are you trying to put words into Tinubu' s mouth? He spoke plainly and you're here defending the indefensible. You claim you don't support Tinubu, so what exactly are you doing by this your wishy washy bias in Tinubu's favour. Who told you his "hand no dey shake"? Did you not see when Buhari( I mean the Buhari your Failure President) and Ganduje held both Tinubu's hands to help lift the 800 gram( 800 gram!!!) APC flag at their Presidential primary election? Everything said about Tinubu in terns of his murky lifestyle is true, my friend.

Tower of Babel wasn't about speaking in tongues tho, so here lies the problem.

Let him speak clearly and not in parables/proverbs he's running for the highest office in the land not village head.



According to the Bible, the tower of Babel is the first place where it is recorded that men spoke in different tongues. This was taught to us in Sunday school.

Read the account for yourself in Genesis 11 vs 1 - 9.

If you listen to the complete speech and the context in which he made that statement, Tinubu made perfect sense. There is absolutely nothing wrong with him mentally and he is not incoherent. he was not speaking in parables; he spoke clearly and you chose to misunderstand him.

It's now beyond party. When it comes to Peter Obi it won't be beyond tribe. You' ll remember he is an Igbo. Hypocrite.

But your Tinubu has promised to continue with Buhari's "good works". You now want to dissociate Tinubu from APC failure when he is called the National Leader of APC. Are you not ashamed? When Buhari began to go wrong from the outset of his administration what did Tinubu and APC do? What did Tinubu in particular do, if he has the interest of Nigeria at heart? Oh, I forgot Tinubu does not believe in one Nigeria. If APC and all their members( including you) are not evil why didn't they change Buhari with a better candidate in 2019? Oh! I forgot it's turn by turn. It's now Tinubu's turn abi. Again, if APC is not pure evil why didn't they choose Osinbajo instead? A drug king/ Boko Haram combination is their best gift to Nigeria. Stop trying to deceive yourself, APC must die in 2023.

it is this APC is an evil party narrative you folks stuck through since 2014 and irrelevant in the party to control things. Ideally APC would have produced a SE candidate if the SE was well invested. The PDP you invested in we saw how well it treated you folks. Politicians simply move from one party to the other. Only a few has any ideology. You want to Tinubu to say i will depart from buharis style, a sitting president with millions of followers in the North. You must be kidding me. Politics is strategic and the SE must learn it. Hate is an emotion and it negates strategy. The same Obi is currently manipulated to steal PDP votes and make it easy for APC. Why did PDP not present Obi after the SE massive investment in PDP? Obi to save Nigeria is a hyperbole, he did not rescue Anambra as an 8yrs governor.

I am afraid I do not see your point.

There is no language that originated from a dictionary. A dictionary is a collection of words that make up a language and their meanings. The language first has to exist before a dictionary can be documented.

Now, ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE, all tongues (languages) originated from the tower of babel. Now, in line with this, Tinubu's statement that "we inherited speaking in tongues from the Bible" is apt and not out of point. He alluded to the Bible because he was addressing a clergyman - a man of the Bible.

Disclaimer: I don't support Tinubu's Presidential Bid.

I have noticed the numerous attacks on Tinubu. While some are valid, there are many that are just false and biased.

First is his health. They say his "hand dey shake" and that he pees his pants. They say he can't walk unless he is being held by the hand. But that's not true. I've seen numerous recent videos of him walking by himself and his hands were steady. Nobody, and I repeat, nobody is 100% healthy. So I think its wrong for anyone to brand him unhealthy. He appears healthy to me. Is he healthy enough to be able to juggle the stress of Nigerian presidency, I don't know (maybe he isn't) . But going by the Nigerian constitution, he's fit.

Second is his academic qualifications. I've heard him talk and he seems very academically sound. Even though his primary and secondary schooling appears to be an unsolved mystery, the fact remains that he is academically sound. Also his postgraduate degree seem to be verifiable. Attacking Tinubu's primary school is like attacking a Professor's primary school. So, let's all drop this primary school attacks. He is an almamater of a prestigious university and he is academically sound.

Which leads me to the attacks on the things he said in public. I think Tinubu is a deep thinker and speaks almost in parables/proverbs. So sometimes, it would seem what he is saying is unintelligible. But the reverse is the case. When he was talking about Corn and Agbado, he was simply referring to Agricultural Self Sustainability. When he talked about tongues from the Bible, he was referring to the Babylonian Tower where God made everyone speak in different tongues which is now responsible for human cultural/language diversity (Genesis 11:1 - 9).

So let's cut this man some slack on irrelevant things and attack him on issue based concerns. We should attack him on his policies, on his financial dealings, on his gubernatorial achievements/failures, etc

That disclaimer you put up there can't deceive us. You are a pro tinubu man and there is nothing wrong in supporting your candidate, don't come online and lie to us. You don't owe us any conviction. However, if you are lover of a better Nigeria, he is not an option and I strongly advise you vote any other candidate

On your observations, firstly his health, while I agree that he has had some stable moments in his physiology, somebody in his condition should go and rest. His condition will only deteriorate with the kinda of workload that ahead. Also I believe a time will come when he would be more concerned about his health than the country and we eventually end up taking of him instead of him taking care of us. What happened with Buhari is what will happen again. In many of his speeches, he always delve out of point was shows he is incoherent, that tells you his health is taking its toll on him.

On regard of his education, he is the one raising doubt. Just come clean with your educational history. Public trust and transparency are two ingredients he lacks because he himself does not have those values. His government didn't practice it state level, I won't see any difference at federal level. The humble tinubu we see now will change once he has that power. This is something I know.

Whatever he is experiencing, he planted it. Go and check all his campaign speeches, he rained more insults than his any of his party members. Just recently before his party was humbled in the Osun election, he still said some people will labor to death and you think when people tell him he will labor to death, it is out of place ehn!!! It's just his words haunting him cos he has led several people to mock others too.

I feel sorry for him but then again, I don't cos it's what you sow, you reap. No slack cutting

I beg you in the name of God, first watch the video before you respond to me, don't take word out of context... This is what Tinubu said below:

"Though tongues and tribes may differ, but in brotherhood we stand"

He continued "it is a pledge that Nigeria, I am ready to serve"

"It is about service to this country"

"We inherited speaking in tongues from the Bible, but our diversity is a promise for Prosperity"


Inherit speaking in tongues, Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, TIV etc from the Bible. Where did God change our tongues? Is it not at Babel in the Bible??

But the issues with you guys is, you believe he's talking about the normal speaking in tongues of holy Spirit...... Open your minds please.

The whole world speaks thesame language before, God change our tongues at Babel ( so we have divers languages.

You be mumu, that's your believe based on your religion.....


Your tongue is the muscle in your mouth that you press against your teeth in order to speak, as well the home of your taste buds. What a useful member of the body!

Tongue supposedly came from the Latin word lingua, meaning "language," but you can't hear the similarity because we pronounce it TUNG, keeping the "ue" silent. A tongue can be anything shaped like your tongue. The flap of leather under your shoelaces is called a tongue, and so is the striker inside a bell. Tongue also means language, like the German tongue, or the Cajun tongue. As a verb, tongue means "lick," as in when the dog tongues your empty plate.

Are you not aware of Tinubu 's history
on drug dealing & substance abuse❓

Anytime you see him shaking and unable
to coordinate himself properly, it means
he hasn't taken his daily booster fix of
cocaine and other drugs cocktail.

Buy when you see him alert with some
agility, it means he has just satisfied his
drug addiction needs for that period.

The man is a junkie for crying out loud❗️❗️❌❌

It will be a collosal calamity to vote him,
because we are basically handing over the
government back to the new Fulani/ Kanuri
mafia, since Buhari has tactically removed
the Hausas from the northern power

Thanks guys for all your responses to my post. I see some responses were very insulting, while some were intellectual.

To those who threw verbal attacks on me, I totally understand your frustration. That's why I won't blame you for those attacks. You are frustrated by the corrupt system, by the selfish politicians and poor governance. I totally understand. I sincerely hope the next person taking over from Buhari can ameliorate our sufferings and eliminate these frustrations.

To those who were intellectual in their response, or tried to be. I appreciate your taking your time to counter my points. I believe that's how we learn from each other....via constructive arguments. I pray we have more of that in this election season.

In conclusion, I'll like to reiterate that I still stand by my opinion. I don't support Tinubu's bid at all but I think many of the attacks on him are unwarranted and misdirected. The reasons I'm not supporting him is not because of his health or his academic qualifications or his agbado speech. The reason I'm not with him is because he is fantastically corrupt and selfish. His selfishness made him support Buhari even though he knew Buhari was a tribal politician who does not have Nigeria at heart. Tinubu is partly responsible for the current state of country and we cannot afford to pay him back by giving him the Presidency. Who do I support? Obi, offcourse. He is the most competent of the top four contenders. And his style of leadership is different from others even though he is part of the political system. But my support for Obi should not make me less objective when talking about him or other candidates. I will extol Tinubu and or Atiku is areas they did well and will criticize in areas they failed woefully.

You assume people are stupid. No we aren't. We will vote right and vote good conscience. We won't vote thieves and killers and terrorists. We won't. If they win then we know this country was never meant to do well. Hopefully, they won't! Maybe people like you will have sense.

Yes, his 8-yr stint as governor was what made me come to that conclusion. Before the advent of Obi and Ngige, we never knew Anambra State had money to do anything. The roads were in disarray, there were lots of armed robbery, thuggery and jungle justice, salary and pensions were not paid, lots of labor strikes. Back then, we sincerely believed there was no money in Government. But Ngige came in and turned the tide, Peter Obi took over and continued in the direction of good governance. Lots of roads were built, salaries and pensions were paid, security improved, hospitals built, education revamped, all these were done with State Government resources. It was like a miracle. This is the reason why Anambarians don't believe in PDP because they were the ones that made us believe that there was no money in Anambra State. Anambrarians however will never forget the good governance from Peter Obi and Chris Ngige.

**U have displayed ur 'objectivity' by labelling others as fantastically corrupt while obi is saint shey?

**In d same spirit of 'objectivity', u hinged ur support for obi on 'competence'. If u had chosen him "bcus he's my bloda", its still within ur right and its fine, but dont whyne ursef by laying ur 'objective reason' for ur choice on 'Competence', inugo?
Peter Obi might be corrupt as he was part of the old political system but his governance style is different from the regular politician. However Tinubu is fantastically corrupt, same goes for Atiku. Nigerians in their wisdom know that it might be difficult to sell the candidacy of a politician who is not connected to the old system e.g Sowore, so they opted for someone who is connected to the old system but also connected to the new....Peter Obi. Peter Obi is my brother, but that's not the main reason why I'm supporting him. If he were Rochas or Orji Uzor Kalu, or Chinwoke Nnamani or Ikpeazu, I wouldn't support him. But the likes of Peter Obi, Soludo, Okonji Iweala, Chris Ngige, Kingsley Moghalu, I will always support because of their pedigree and track record.

Yes, his 8-yr stint as governor was what made me come to that conclusion. Before the advent of Obi and Ngige, we never knew Anambra State had money to do anything. The roads were in disarray, there were lots of armed robbery, thuggery and jungle justice, salary and pensions were not paid, lots of labor strikes.

1. Peter obi turned anambala to mini-dubai in his 8-year stint as governor that he had to move over to Tinubu's Lagos after his tenure!

Anambala was soooo 'deveroped' by obi that tons of ndi-anambala's consider a relocation to Lagos a breakthrough; as we speak now, scores of ndi-igbos are Already at the various motorparks in onitcha ready to take the journey of no return to Lagos.

2. If we ask u and d other clowns to mention just one caes in which tinubu was convicted (apart from d normal isiewu joints gossips) to justify the 'fantastically corrupt' tag now, it will be a herculean task for u and ur fellow zombiedients. cool

Initially u said tinubu was fantadtically corrupt, but when I called ur **phat behind** cool out u now modified ur assertion to "Peter obi too is corrupt".
Hello, my boy, if Peter Obi were to be a Chinese official, he would have been sentenced to death tey-tey! cool

"A Beijing court has sentenced China's former minister of railways Liu Zhijun to death...........Liu stood trial at Beijing No. 2 Intermediate People's Court on 9 June for accepting £6m in bribes between 1986 and 2011 and using his position to help 11 people win promotions or lucrative contracts, according to the state newswire Xinhua. He had been formally accused in April."

I hope I've not sparked a 'ban' o.
Tuale nwannem!
