happney65:It was politically expedient for him to. It was purely politics for him which I disagree with. Tinubu knew Buhari was incompetent but he found his popularity useful. His calculation was that if GEJ had won second tenure in 2015, by 2019, power would return to north. By 2027 when power would have come back to the south again, he would be too old to contest. That’s why he brought Buhari. To him, Buhari was a necessary evil towards his ambition. |

Penguin2:Let me tell you this, no politician need to appease to the Igbos because the Igbos only play one-directional politics. They face one way, no matter the circumstances, their votes will always be one way. So why do you need to appease them? I’m not saying it’s a bad thing. It’s very good and I hope the Yorubas can think like that too in our voting pattern but it just seems we and the Igbos are totally different people and both method have their advantage and disadvantages. The Yoruba way of having a distinct mind and ability to vote differently is one of the greatest advantage because it makes politicians appease the Yorubas. You will have a mind that, this people might vote me and they might not. I can appease to 35% of them to vote me and leave the 65% to do what they will do either ways. Jonathan did it in 2011 and did it again in 2015. Atiku did it in 2019 and Atiku/Obi did it in 2023. Like you said, Tinubu told his comrades that they don’t need to invest too much in campaigning in the SE because he knows there is nothing on earth he can do that will make them vote him. So to him, the SE is useless to his success and when he eventually won, he is not bounded by any fears of SE voting against him in the next election like he would towards the North. Infact he may choose to not construct one single runway in the SE and still win the next election. That is the danger of one-directional voting as a bloc. When you do that, you better succeed coz if not, politicians will see that the voting bloc is useless to them. The strongest enemy is the one you can’t predict his moves. SE is not a strong enemy to any opposition politician, if not for the SS that always align in some brotherhood to the SE, you guys would have understood some things already about power games. |

happney65:Penguin2 is a million miles ahead of you. I don't suppose you read his introductory paragraph because if you do and digest the content there in and you still went ahead to fabricate this distorted piece of garbage, my brother, shame suppose catch you. The likes of penguin2 if not derailed and sabotaged by people like you would turn out to be a game changer in the future due to his head above water analysis. Let stop here as I have a lot to do. |

kettykin:We are talking about support for Yoruba not Obasanjo. Obasanjo like Jonathan dealt with his own people while at the helms of affairs. Even his state benefitted nothing. Support the whole not a fragment of the whole |
| Re: My Honest Prediction Of Tinubu’s Presidency. by LegendHero(m): 2:34pm On Jun 11, 2023 |
kettykin:You just supported Seun assertion. That the Igbo even voted Obasanjo in the first term shows they hated Yoruba. Almost 90% of Yoruba voted OBJ in 1999, so if 90% of Igbos voted Obasanjo, does it show they like Yoruba? Personally, it shouldn’t be termed hate. It’s just that both Igbo and Yoruba always vote against each other’s interest and it’s normal. We are two different people and we can do what we want. We ALWAYS do that. No tribe should feign righteousness. Even the OBJ Igbo voted was because they have no other option. If there is another tribe in the picture that they are sure have a chance of winning, they will still vote him against Obasanjo. Infact if the Yoruba had voted OBJ in that election, Igbos would have voted Falae in their millions. I just hate it when I see some Igbos using Obasanjo as an analogy that they love Yoruba. Hell no, that man OBJ is a mistake and the Yorubas never wanted him just like Igbos never wanted Okorocha and etc. It shouldn’t be so hard to understand. |

LegendHero:You got it all wrong. The Igbos do not hate Tinubu, rather Tinubu knows them too well to know that the Igbos do not go back on their words if they promise you their support. Tinubu told his foot soldiers not to bother going to Igboland because he knew they had already made up their minds on Peter Obi. It is either they are with you or they are not. And they will tell you that to your face no matter who you are. |
| Re: My Honest Prediction Of Tinubu’s Presidency. by LegendHero(m): 2:53pm On Jun 11, 2023 |
Bluntguy:Even before Peter Obi come into the scene, Igbos never hid their hatred for Tinubu and even Kanu had to instruct his disciples to burn Tinubu property and go after him. They have always cursed and abuse Tinubu even before 2015 let alone 2023 of Peter Obi. Igbos have shown their hatred for Tinubu ever since it appears he is now against their agenda in Lagos. They want to have a say in Lagos but they believe Tinubu strongness is the hinderance. No need whitewashing it, Igbo hate Tinubu and it is their right to do that. That you’re trying to link it with Obi only show you don’t know what you are saying. |

| Re: My Honest Prediction Of Tinubu’s Presidency. by Balogunodua(m): 2:56pm On Jun 11, 2023 |
kettykin:Igbos only voted Obasanjo because there were two Yorubas on the ballot.... |

happney65:He is a simpleton. Imagine him, a nairaland commentator just like everyone else, telling us "deep in his (Tinubu's heart" ad though he had even ever met Tinubu for a personal chat. |
| Re: My Honest Prediction Of Tinubu’s Presidency. by Bluntguy: 3:04pm On Jun 11, 2023 |
LegendHero:Wrong again! Did the Igbos not vote for MKO in 1993 when he contested against Bashir Tofa, a core Northerner? Look your assertion that Igbos and Yorubas normally vote against themselves is very wrong. The Igbos normally vote for who protects their interest no matter where you are coming from. The Yorubas even voted for Olu Falae against Obasanjo in 1999, Obasanjo was delivered by the rest of Nigerians, including the Igbos. Like you said, no ill intentions, but understand that the Igbos have never and will never play politics of hatred against anyone, the only thing people imagine is that if they do not support and tell you plain that you do not have their support, a lot of people see it as hatred. Buhari saw the non support of Igbos as hatred, but that is where Tinubu has a strong positive as a progressive. Buhari is never a progressive but Tinubu had to tolerate him for eight years in order to ascend the presidency, which he has finally done. |

| Re: My Honest Prediction Of Tinubu’s Presidency. by Bluntguy: 3:08pm On Jun 11, 2023 |
Balogunodua:Igbos voted MKO Abiola, a Yoruba when he contested against Bashir Tofa a core Northerner. What do you say about that? |
| Re: My Honest Prediction Of Tinubu’s Presidency. by Bluntguy: 3:10pm On Jun 11, 2023 |
LegendHero:Did they burn Tinubu's property when Kanu "instructed" them to do so? |
| Re: My Honest Prediction Of Tinubu’s Presidency. by Balogunodua(m): 3:12pm On Jun 11, 2023 |
Bluntguy:How did Igbos voted for MKO? How many states in the East did MKO win? Igbos have no choice than to vote for a Yoruba candidate in 1999. If a northerners had contested against OBJ...Igbos would have voted otherwise. |
| Re: My Honest Prediction Of Tinubu’s Presidency. by Bluntguy: 3:13pm On Jun 11, 2023 |
Balogunodua:You are one of Tinubu's biggest problems. You the exact opposite of the word progressive which he preaches. |
| Re: My Honest Prediction Of Tinubu’s Presidency. by LegendHero(m): 3:13pm On Jun 11, 2023 |
Bluntguy:No the igbos did not vote for Abiola because majority of Igbos voted for Tofa. Infact, Abiola only lost in the Igbo dominated area in the whole Southern region except Anambra which he narrowly won. Again, like I always told you, Igbo hate Tinubu and Buhari. They go so far as denigrating their image, dehumanizing them, and propagate mass hate against them time and time and time and time. Personally, I can see through Igbo people game and every political analyst can see through it. You’ll just be wasting your ink on me if you keep trying to whitewash the Igbo attitude towards Tinubu as not being hate. |
| Re: My Honest Prediction Of Tinubu’s Presidency. by Balogunodua(m): 3:14pm On Jun 11, 2023 |
Bluntguy:Provide me the results of that election...I want to show you something. If you don't have it, I will post it here for you |
| Re: My Honest Prediction Of Tinubu’s Presidency. by LegendHero(m): 3:14pm On Jun 11, 2023 |
Bluntguy:Yes TVC and most of the newly procured BRT bus were burnt. Before you say there are no Igbo involved, read about Chinasa that was arrested for the arson. Infact the guy is still in prison now. |

Here we go again. Nigeria economy was doing fairly OK under Abacha and Abdusalam with prices of goods and services relatively stable. Inflation was low. Then the evil genus obasanjo came and prices of goods and service tripled. These is even with reliefs his government was getting from the international community. Kudos to him out GDP increased in percentage over a period, but that was necessitated largely by the an increase and relative stability in oil price and also the cancellation of our foreign debts. A gesture that we alongside many third world countries benefited from. Obasanjo was a disaster to Nigerians and set the tune to most of the Wong's in our institutions. Now, would you compare the resources available to Obasanjo to that available to Buhari? Resources available to both differ yet Obasanjo struggled to put necessary infrastructures in place. Yeah sometimes, I wished Buhari was even as dictatorial as obasanjo was as president who doesn't give recourse to the constitution all the time. Who know, PMB would have fought corruption to the level we all expected. Would Obasanjo have been able to navigate Nigeria through two all time oil price crash? Would he have navigate Nigeria through a world pandemic and a war that is currently ravaging the world and would take decade for the world to recover? Time will tell. |

| Re: My Honest Prediction Of Tinubu’s Presidency. by Zionbel(m): 3:52pm On Jun 11, 2023 |
Your analysis is apt and borne out of a sincere and fair judgement. Tinubu is very smart, proved that you just have to win first before you unveil your hidden intent which might cost you victory. This he did in a most sublime way. Also, Tinubu isn't bad as he's been portrayed before the media. He's more of a negotiator and keeps to deals. He's astute and a mafia manager who combines a perfect management of mentees and prudent use of resources. I've got no doubt, he will do well as president and prove naysayers wrong. |

As far as I'm concerned, even if Tinubu turned Nigeria to America, he still remains a Mandate thief. |
