Tinubu may not be a great leader, but he is undeniably a great politician. And what makes him so great? He’s an astute tactician. A good tactician sees all angles, anticipates every move, and is never caught off guard.

During the 2023 campaign, this man openly laid out his plans, yet you dismissed them as gaffes, laughing at him and claiming he didn’t know what he was saying. He told you he would continue from where Buhari stopped—yet that wasn’t enough to wake you from slumber. He even went as far as saying he would employ 50 million Nigerian youths and “feed them agbado” (corn), and still, that didn’t set off alarm bells for you.

If you haven’t realized by now that those so-called gaffes were actually well-placed hints at a carefully crafted political strategy, let me help you connect the dots.

Buhari took over with the exchange rate below 200 naira to a dollar and left it at nearly 500—a reflection of how badly the economy tanked. Tinubu explicitly told you he’d continue from where Buhari left off, yet you weren’t alarmed. The “agbado” reference? That was him directly telling you his plan: to create so much hunger that food becomes a scarce luxury, making people feel lucky just to have a meal in exchange for labor. He literally said it—"employ 50 million youths and feed them agbado (work for meal...hand-to-mouth..,you get?)." If that isn’t clear enough by now, then I don’t know what is.

At this point, you might be thinking, *But why would he deliberately do that? Why make Nigerians suffer and risk being hated?* Simple: it’s a strategy—a calculated move to manipulate and control the masses. This is chess. This is psychology. This is what’s called the weaponization of poverty.

How the Plan Works

If I steal all your food and starve you until you’re on the brink of death, then suddenly throw you just enough crumbs to keep you from dying, you’d be so grateful to me for “saving” you. Now, imagine this cycle repeating itself over and over—you’re constantly brought to the edge of starvation, only for me to "rescue" you at the last moment. Eventually, you’d start seeing me as some sort of messiah.

And it works even better if you don’t realize I’m the one stealing your food in the first place.

The logic is simple: create pain and suffering, then use them as tools to control the people. The goal? Make you so poor and hungry that you start seeing wealthy politicians—big men with big bellies—as gods. You follow them, hoping that one day, just maybe, they’ll eat too much, throw up, and you’ll get a chance to lick up their vomit.

Robert Bolt captured this perfectly in A Man for All Seasons:

> Richard Rich: But every man has his price!
> Sir Thomas More: No-no-no—
> Rich: But yes! In money too.
> More: No no no.
> Rich: Or pleasure. Titles, women, bricks-and-mortar, there's always something.
> More: Childish.
> Rich: Well, in suffering, certainly.
> More: Buy a man with suffering?
> Rich: Impose suffering, and offer him—escape.
> More: Oh. For a moment I thought you were being profound.

A kidnapper abducts you, and you’ll pay whatever they ask—if you can afford it. If not, you’ll beg friends and family to raise the money by any means necessary. In that desperate moment, you’d be willing to give up anything just to stop the suffering and make the fear of instant death go away.

Even the Bible acknowledges this tactic:

> Job 2:4-6 KJV
[4] And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.
[5] But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.
[6] And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.

Satan himself advised God to use this strategy against man. And, as history has shown, wicked men have perfected and weaponized it—inflicting suffering upon others to gain control over them. This isn’t new. It’s an ancient evil.

So don’t for a second think that the hardship you’re experiencing under Tinubu’s rule is accidental. It isn’t. It’s deliberate. It services a selfish personal agenda. Beyond personal agendas, even world organizations play the same card to keep smaller nations perpetually poor and small to control them.

As 2027 approaches, they’ll ease the suffering just enough to make you feel relief. And in that moment of temporary comfort, you’ll re-elect them. Then, after their reign, the real goal unfolds—to turn themselves into the Rothschilds unending dynasty.

If you asked the op if he's in poverty, him go say No

What are we saying and what are you saying? How does me or my family being in poverty connect to what we are saying? Shouldn't someone impoverished become poor?

You and those who support the government and their failures are those who are in abject poverty and need their own tribesmen in power so that every 4 years a nylon of palm oil and a cup of rice would be shared to them for survival

Tinubu is a master of the game.

The opposition will be shocked when they see the votes he will get in 2027.

So in short, una own duty is to be crying more than the bereaved. Is that your insinuation?

Honestly some of you have left the logic behind engaging others logically and maturely

You lack the ability to comprehend. No wonder you do what you do. I forgive you.

A billion thumbs of fellow compatriots will see your principal out of office in 2027.

What is the government doing for you that your full time job is to defend tinubu terrible policies.

Are you sure you are normal or because you are paid for this useless task??

Let me warn you, future will never be kind to you because you stood with the oppressors instead of standing with the oppressed.

Your judgement would be..... you will cry but none will be available to comfort you ".

Even if you stop today you will still reap and I believe you are ever going to stop.

Do you know why? Because the love of money is the root of all evil.."

That's why you do it!
