Why would I need to be a closet Tinubu supporter? I obviously don't rate you or other Tinubu haters so why would I hide? Tinubu is a political candidate like any other and it's madness to emotionally blackmail people into being fearful of supporting him. And that is exactly why I support him now - at least on social media. Because I hate madness with a passion!

Besides, maybe you didn't understand what I said. I never said they are exactly the same. I said they are on equal footing, which means that to me, each one has good and bad points but overall their impact on governance will be roughly the same.

Using your example, the three artists are obviously different in style and character but on the same level of quality.

All of this is by the way, because the main point is that you are definitely no objective which you betray (as if it's not already obvious) by taking a position of false moral superiority.

There’s no false moral superiority anywhere.

All this grammar you are speaking is to justify why you are now sold out to the worst human being on offer in the Nigerian political space.

We don’t know his real name.

We don’t know his real age.

We don’t know his primary school.

We don’t know his secondary school.

Even his University Degree is shrouded with a lot of secrecy and controversy that he seems ready to kill to protect.

Then his dealings in court over drug charges?

Then when someone challenges you for choosing such a character to support, you dare blackmail them by accusing them of forming moral superiority?

Who of the big 3 has a quarter of such baggage? Who?

What does the bolded have to do with governance? Even if you don't know his original name, you at least know he has been in Nigerian politics since the 90's. Logically, is that not more of what you should be focused on in evaluating his capacity or the lack thereof? By fixating on utter irrelevancies, you prove, once again, that you are not interested in making sense; you are simply interested in scoring points for the candidate you support. That's all. Period. Finito.


But no quarrel here, to each their own at the end of the day. No?

Yeah!

To you, in politics, morality can go to hell.

Values can become victim of power tussle.

Good is of no consequence.

Right?

Those are the principles you uphold, right?

Yes actually my views tend to that perspective. Values and morality are nice to have but they are not the essential qualities a leader must have. Vision and a strong will make good leaders.
