Your foolishness will not allow you to understand that saying emilokan within his party or to Nigerians smacks off as being entitled.

What is the meaning of emilokan even if he was talking to his party? Meaning everybody should lay down and allow him represent the party and you think he won't carry that mentality to the national.

My point is whether he says it to his people or not it smacks of entitlement mentality and a dingbat like you can never understand.

You need have to a certain level of chutzpah to even think of leading 200 million people. What he said and the context in which he said it doesn't smack of any self entitlement except to people like you who will like to twist it for their own political gains.
I don't even know if you speak Yoruba because if you don't then this conversation is a waste of time. It will be like having a conversation with a brick wall.

Yes the conversation is a waste of time. You claim he was saying it to his people so it shouldn't matter to others. But guess what that emilokan statement has defined his ambition as someone who feels entitled.

That you are here trying to reduce it to the fact that he was talking to his people is useless, the horse has bolted and that statement defines his ambition whether you like it or not.

I speak and understand Yoruba even though am not youruba.

So in your warped logic Tinubu wanted to tell Nigerians that it is his turn and he spoke in Yoruba to a few APC members before he was even nominated?
Pretend you have some sense.
You may try and milk this for whatever it is worth to you but it doesn't a dent on Tinubu's campaign.

Tinubu was speaking to his party members. He was seeking the nomination of his party, he wasn't contesting for the presidency then.
It is easy to spin and twist anything for political expediency but I believe Nigerians are discerning enough to sift through all the lies and misrepresentations.

U go cry taya. No sensible Nigerian will vote your Emi Lokan.

Peter Obi all the way.

Use your brain guy and read what I wrote so that you can understand.

That statement regardless of who he was talking to has defined his ambition as an entitled person.

So I asked you, what is he telling Nigerians now?

Is it recruiting 50million youths to the army to feed them with agbado.
Church rat eating poisoned holy communion.
No down payment for roasted corn for electricity.
Dead fish cannot be sweet in a soup.
Cassava, ewa agbado etc
Or a townhall different from.....balablu bulaba

Yes, he's selfish for producing Jonathan, yaradua, endorsing buhari in 2019. If that's your understanding of selfishness, it's fine.

Have you ever listened to the late chief hubert ogunde's song ...yooo, yoo, yooooo, yoruba roonu ooo? We are not ready to ronu yet. We have been producing the wrong people from time immemorial to represent us, despite our intelligence and God given talents, all cos of sentiments. Only Pa Awolow was the true yoruba elder we had as politician, a detribalised, refined and intelligent gentlemen.

Go and read about MKO. Nigerians had no choice back then by supporting his candidature. We just wanted to send the military back to their barracks. They really set Nigeria backwards. I can't forget in a hurry.

Today, we have great men and women among the yorubas who could have represented us at the national level. Sadly, yoruba is losing this slot again due to Tinubu's greed and selfishness. Quote me after next months election results are announced.

Where's Fashola, Osinbajo, et al? Are they not competent enough? Why Tinubu, an 86-year old man claiming 71? Someone of questionable character which he knows of? See all the drug cases on this man's neck yet, he's seeing it as nothing? Where's our intelligence,integrity as omoluabis that we are?

Had either fashola or Osinbajo been allowed by Tinubu to contest, all the tribes in Nigeria would have voted him. I have igbo friends who said since neither of them could come out to run,they'd go for obi....I'm going for obi too. Its high time we got it right in Nigeria or we remain a laughing stock in the eyes of the world. I hope yoruba would truly ronu someday. Imagine a group saying Osinbajo is a Christian and would populate his government with RCCG members? We voted buhari in 2015 and he's yet to islamize any state. PYO's cook is from the north, this I know, so are his aides who are of ibo, South south and northern extractions.. one of my friends, Philip Obin is among his aides. He's the one in charge of IT.

See millions of seasoned omoluabi out there but soke gullible minds are rooting for Tinubu.

We go get sense someday
I feel you, i am not a politician, but let's allow politicians to play theit game.
All points you highlighted are easy to answer.
1. Fashola to me would have been the best candidate, but his candidacy will cause serious bad blood against sitting vice president that is equally interested.
2. Dont be deceived, your ibo friends will never and never support either fashola or Osinbajo, it is a mere mind game they are playing with you.
3. Tinubu is not 86, if he's 86 and doing all he has been doing, running meetings, and attending events at an average of 14 to 18hours a day? That will easily pass his as a super human being. Tinubu is not more than his declared age, go back and check his old pictures with his friends before and during his governorship years. Had fashola not in public glare early, people will say he's 80 years with his present look, but here is fashola that is not yet 60.
4.Yaradua/Jonathan ticket was a pdp affairs, obasanjo needed who to protect his own selfish interest after office. Umaru was a boy to obasanjo and sheu Yaradua his elder brother when both were incompetent head of state and chief of staff, Supreme HQ, the competent person behind that 3 years regime was Theophilus Danjuma. He forced both obj and Sheu into the administrative/political
leadership position of the country, while he held on to the most technical, powerful and professional role as the chief of Army staff to forestall coups and shielded yaradua from interfacing with mostly state administrators that were his senior in the army.
5.obasanjo supported buhari over jonathan in 2015, because jonathan and his team including this obi as SA to jonathan called bluff of obasanjo, they insulted him, threatened him of arrest, claiming it was their turn as SEastern presidency, it was this time, jonathan claimed that he's an ibo, that his middle name is Azikwe.
6.it is very unfair and ungodly to ask Tinubu not to contest for presidency. No one prays that his/her father to be useless at 70. Biden at 76, and Trump at 72 contested the America that we even copied their democracy presidency.
7. Even Awolowo we all celebrate in SW as our true leader, what was obasanjo relationship with him.
Obasanjo is too full of himself, too envious and hateful of any success story of any fully blooded yoruba tribe. Obasanjo wasn't as brilliant as Abiola when in school to say the least. Why is he always talking authoritatively as the most brilliant that knows all above others. History will judge him.

Okealaaye:
Obasanjo that started the annihilation of the futures of Nigerian youths as early as 1978 is the one sermonising to the youths now. He's never sided with the truth. Before he became military head of state, a plate of food in all government subsidised cafeterias in all Nigerian universities was 20 kobo. He increased it to 50 kobo, thus engendering the Ali Must Go riots of that year. He hand-picked Akin Osuntokun and Femi Fani-Kayode and coopted them into his government only because of the children of whom they were. How many NIGERIAN youths of poor backgrounds did he appoint? Obasanjo is the greatest threat to Nigeria's democracy - a man who's so conceited that he believes that he can influence the preferred choices of millions of other Nigerians is not only conceited but is also affected by the delusion of grandeur syndrome. In 1979 he singlehandedly installed Alhaji Shehu Shagari. He also installed the interim government of Shonekan, declaring in Malawi that the winner of the annuled 1993 election was not the Messiah Nigeria was waiting for! Earlier in 1978, he had declared that the best presidential candidate needn't win! He installed Yar'Adua and Jonathan and we knew how it all ended. In all this time, it did not occur to him to lobby for an Igbo president, instead of rooting for Jonathan who naturally, cannot hold a candle to countless Igbo compatriots. He even attempted to go for a third term, bringing raw cash in various currencies to the floor of the National Assembly to bribe the legislators. Obi is well advised to run away from Obasanjo before it's too late. He can be president if God so wills it. Obasanjo has no electoral value and he knows it.
man who's so conceited that he believes that he can influence the preferred choices of millions of other Nigerians

WHICH PREFERRED CHOICE OF MILLIONS OF NIGERIANS ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

According to inec data,majority of buhari's votes came through incidence form.An incidence form is a process by which voters are allow to vote without the use of biometric voting machine to capture their fingerprint.This process will give room for multiple voting and rigging.

Obasanjo can not support Tinubu before, we all know that, Obasanjo is a big hater of Tinubu right from the plan for 3rd term agenda. He Obasanjo tried all he could to make Tinubu fail as Lagos governor but his effort failed. Obasanjo political value is almost zero in Yoruba land.

Only empty heads capable of being cheaply tricked and deceived or naturally dishonest person would say that public knowledge of the primary and secondary schools the candidate he wants to vote for as President is not important. That Tinubu has Nigerians who went to primary and secondary schools and are proud of it, who support Tinubu who has refused to disclose any information regarding his primary and secondary schools education shows that something is fundamentally wrong with some Nigerians. I can't vote a man as my President who refuses to disclose info regarding his basic education that we all have.
