DaddyCoool:
At this point anyway. You are absolutely right.
But Tinubu has potential to become the greatest. Just imagine if diasporeams start clamoring to come home under him!

Basic123:
Pay attention to your grammar more!

yarimo:
Well TINUBU is already greater than anyone in the whole east death or alive

OneCandleAway:
He wants to but can never. In a sane society someone with tinubu background should not even be president. Awolowo uplifted the people. So far Tinubu has only corrupted, brought hardship to everyone

DaddyCoool:
The operative word is "so far". If in time all these his radical, draconian moves actually makes Nigeria a destination country, then he'd be greater than Awolowo.
Don't forget, Awo was never president. PLUS he's one of the past leaders that brought us to this mess. PLUS his famous "starvation is legitimate weapon of war" and £20 policies. PLUS alleged failed coup plotter, who went to jail and ultimately took his own life due to failed coups. PLUS more tribalist than city boy Tinubu who is also a moslem. Bottom line, outside Yoruba land, Tinubu can EASILY become greater than Awolowo.

Becoming president in Nigeria doesn't make you great. Look at Buhari

Heffalump:
Tinubu can never be like Awolowo. Concentrate on the question. Awolowo was never a Jaguda man. He was a well bread and seasoned political technocrat what worked with civility and progressive. Tinubu is a far cry from Awo, quote me any day.

OneCandleAway:
Stop imagining what will never happen. No one will leave a sane society to cone bach to chaos except you're getting into the political class. I know a man that ran back cuz he couldn't cope with Lagos stress, extortion from lastma e.t.c

DaddyCoool:
Don't be so sure. Some of these countries we're running to were in bad shape not too long ago. If a miracle happens with Tinubu, he definitely has to be considered greater than Awolowo

OneCandleAway:
Why didn't he curtail the corruption in lagos? Also when you have a dirty past its easy to be blackmailed. He will want to work but most of the people under him are corruption personified. This will affect him.

Acekidc4:
Atleast Tinubu is far greater than Ojukwu and Azikiwe combined!! Shebi we all know that Ojukwu and Azikiwe are South East greatest Politicians ever Lived!! President Tinubu is Greater than Them by a Million Miles

DaddyCoool:
If Nigeria becomes a major player under him, and diasporeans start clamoring to come home instead of japa, he's automatically the greatest

Basic123:
Officially, he is already greater!


Awolowo was never a president talkless of being ECOWAS chair, Awolowo will be proud of Tinubu. He was able to achieve What progressives couldn't achieve since 1979.

And one day,another progressive will be greater than TINUBU.

T9ksy:
"IF" being the operative word however Nigeria is not going to be great anytime soon and certainly not under the present administration, whose only objective is to loot the country dead.

No diasporean will clamour to return to Nigeria unless of course, if he or she is a deportee.

Oh BTW, nothing tinubu does will make him ascend the steps to be placed on the same pedestal as Pa Awo. Absolutely nothing.

T9ksy:
can you expantiate on the bolded part, above.

Sadly, authentic yorubas (Omoluabis) don't give a rat's a.r.s.e how great tinubu is outside yorubaland.

yarimo:
Majority of Nigerians wants TINUBU picture should be replaced with the man on # 500 notes immediately

GeneralPula:
No, Tinubu can not..

Baba Awolowo did a lot of amazing things despite that he was never a president. Take the free education for example: it's one of the greatest thing that's ever happened to Nigeria at large.

So what can tinubu do to beat such?

DaddyCoool:
Really nothing to expatiate {NOT "expantiate"}. If Awo, Zik, etc had played the cards right, we wouldn't be on this mess.
"Omoluabis" would have given a rat's ass if he had turned Nigeria around😎

T9ksy:
No one can turn Nigeria around let alone the m.o.rr.ons gallivanting about our political hemisphere like prized peacock, whilst some
are chanting "emilokun".

Tinubu's tenure will be worse than buhari's (now that's saying something) and believe it or not (that's your perogative), his successor will pick up the gauntlet, where tinubu might have left off. The only trajectory is downwards.

You still did not explain how you adjudged Awo as one of those responsible for the extant woes facing the currently. What cards was he dealt with that he failed to play, successfully?

NB: Thanks for the correction.

DaddyCoool:
Do you still hold this view?

yarimo:
Well TINUBU is already greater than anyone in the whole east death or alive

Basic123:
Yes

Didijiji:
You are 100% right

Greater in all negative indices

He is indeed greater no capping

DaddyCoool:
Tinubu is greater than Awo?
Please explain or expatiate

Basic123:
He achieved what Awo could not achieve politically.

Although awo made an attempt,BAT led the opposition to sack a sitting president and he himself became the president.

In terms of administrative achievement,they are both transformative leaders go's,Lagos to Tinubu,west to Awo.

At presidential level no basis for comparison as Awo never became president.

But we can compare their politics because they are both politicians

DaddyCoool:
So a failed president (so far) is greater than a legendary leader who became a tribal demi god?

Basic123:
You dont know the meaning of greatness!
A slave to a failed former governor of Anambra and a failed president wanna be,failed politician and useless serial political prostitute may not understand what basis of comparison is.

DaddyCoool:
U welcome, and thanks 4 graciously accepting the correction.
If Tinubu had removed subsidy without floating Naira it would have been different. But both at once is too much.

For one thing Awo had a chance to end the war by threatening withdrawal of SW, instead he became Mr. "Starvation is a legitimate weapon of war"!
