The problem is educated Nigerians think because they have received western education therefore they live abroad and Nigeria should be fashioned after the west. I don’t believe in naming things after a sitting president. However unlike many governors who name projects after themselves, Tinubu and it must be said previous presidents did not name these projects after themselves. It was others (often sychophants) who did. Now this is where the complexity and peculiarities of Nigeria come in. In Nigeria if you reject it, you risk alienating those who chose to name a project after you and that often takes a different dimension of its own. For instance, he rejects the naming of an airport in Niger state and suddenly the narrative is Tinubu hates the people of Niger state. Nigeria is a complex country to manage, we just seen how elders and kings have lobbied Afe Babalola to drop his lawsuit. Now we won’t know who is lying and what corruption would have been exposed in the judiciary. If Afe Babalola did not drop the case they will say he disrespected the kings and tradition, if he drops the case they will say Dele was right and he simply took advantage of the pleadings of the Kings to cover what would have been exposed. Nigeria is Nigeria, Tinubu is not the first, I don’t believe in naming public projects after sitting officials but it is what it is. We have bigger fish to fry, so long as it is not the official himself (in this case the president) who name the facilities after himself. Again I will say we are not the UK, Europe , Canada or the USA. Don’t because you have read western books, say in their classrooms, watch their media and speak the same English as them start to think your society must be fashioned in their image. Focus on the fact that barracks, roads, airport or hospital was built instead of siphoning the monies to a Swiss bank account instead of what name they chose to give the project. Again I do not endorse the naming of public projects after sitting officials but it is what it is. I know when monies were collected and nothing was built and nothing to commission talk less name after anyone. |

Changing "Nigeria" into Tpain would be most appropriate. |

Gotocourt:Isn’t it quite remarkable that Yorubas have been the most vocal critics of Tinubu, which is unlikely to happen if Pandora Bitter Obi was the president, seeing as how his tribal headless mob gave him nearly 100% votes in the five south east states, as they unwittingly helped ebilokan continue APC clueless mismanagement of the country. jameshankss: |

casualobserver:How does rejecting the offer of a person's name to be named after a project equate to alienating and hating the people that made the offer? Where did we see traditional rulers lobby afe Babalola to drop his case against Farotimi? If "we" saw it, where was the location of the lobbying and at what times did these lobbying take place? |
| Re: Let Us Name Nigeria After Our President By Lasisi Olagunju by lexy2014: 10:34am On Jan 27, 2025 |
anonimi:This obsession with obi is amazing to the point were some of you can even predict a future that has not happened For the past and present, how well have Nigerians and Nigeria fared under the governance of tinubu? |

You are making absolutely no sense.Balewa,ZIK Awolowo etc were all immortalised after they were no longer in power and even died.Decent people shouldn't go about naming things after themselves while still in power,especially more than one project within a very short time casualobserver: |
