Your Igbo ancestors died of kwashiokor and starvation, you are using hunger to mock people.
No wonder your mothers in Anambra are dropping dead in Anambra because of uncooked rice.
Generational hunger.

It's my turn, it's my turn, now see where we are as a country.

Yorubas are pathetic, they should have all knelt down to beg T-pain to allow Starboy represent them. But instead they were shouting Emilokans up and down, now the song has changed to Ebinpawa.

T-pain not please, reason his govt is paying him 250k as salary

Prof. Yemi Osinbajo was overwhelmingly rooted for and persuaded by the generality of Nigerians to contest by a vast generality of Nigerians.

Osinbajo was seen clearly as an intelligent and proactive technocrat who displayed swift action and achieved milestones whenever President Buhari handed-over to him.

The economy was stable and he was even bold enough to intervene in National Assembly invasion by the DSS.

Various interest groups , Youth Groups and Interest groups literally " begged" Osinbajo to contest the Primaries.

Osinbajo would have been a better President simple.

Neither is "he didn't tell me so"

Truly,in all sensibilities and for the sake of history, Osibanjo should not have contested against Tinubu, for the following reasons:

1. No matter the diverse narratives out there, the fact is that Tinubu singlehandedly made Osibanjo to be Vice President. Prior to that, Osibanjo was a Lawyer, in private practice, and had never contested even for Local Government Chairman before.
2. Osibanjo's unexpected rise to the Vice Presidency of the country should have satisfied him, afterall he was not expecting it and it NEVER could have happened to him, because in the scheme of things in Lagos politics at the time, he was not relevant
3. Has Osibanjo repaid Tinubu for his kindness for making him Vice President? The only opportunity he had, was the one he misused. He should never have contested against Tinubu. Rather, he should have led Tinubu's campaign as if it was his own. Afterall, to whom much has been given, much is expected.
4. Personally, I believe Osibanjo was ungrateful to Tinubu. Even when other senior politicians of Yoruba extraction, who didn't even owe Tinubu as much benevolence were stepping down for him at the Eagle's square, the man who benefitted most from him, refused to step down

Somehow, we all need to be humane, and not everything is about "my rights". No doubt, Osibanjo has the constitutional right to do, but like the bible referenced in 1 Corinthians 10:23: "All things are lawful for me, but not all things are expedient: all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify." (KJV). In other word, that something is right and lawful does not mean it should be done.

“He didn’t tell me so,” he said. “I asked him many questions, including whether he instigated Osinbajo to contest against Tinubu. He said no and explained that, in his culture, when your mentor is interested in a position, you don’t contest with him.”

Please what has the understanding of Nigerian politics yielded apart from worse poverty, inflation, unemployment, insecurity etc since Nigerians allowed ourselves to be swindled by APC 10 years ago

This is who we call Politics itself. When Tinubu left AD, Akande was still with Afenifere in AD, but after studying the situation, he joined Tinubu in AC and became Tinubu’s godfather again.

Read what Baba Akande said again, he said he asked Buhari if he instigated Judas Osinbajo against Tinubu, and see the response, you will see that is what Buhari can say. Despite turning himself to Buhari’s dog, was Rotimi Amaechi bold enough to ask for Buhari’s support? But Bisi Akande see himself as the boss and father of all of them including Tinubu and Buhari, so he had confidence to walk up to Buhari and ask him “Aboki, shey ba you dey give this short devil the liver to try this nonsense?”
