So Tinubu supporters has resorted in publishing past achievements then present achievements.

He has a good history no doubt but a terrible present record. So all this past struggles are all to end up being a tyrant ?? This means he has being a hypocrite all this while

Bola Ahmed Tinubu. One of the greatest men ever in Nigeria.

Installed one as President and made himself one.

Mocked a sitting President for crying after serial losses. grin 😉

Also faced President + Vice President + Senate President + Party Chairman and CBN Governor COMBINED and flogged them all

Singlehandedly conquered a whole tribe. Using their hate to crown himself.

Did " gazelle gragra " and fooled 200 million people. Did his Inauguration Speech by heart.

All hail Jagaban.

In 2012, he reached a milestone of 60 years but in 2023 we were told he was still 60. Well now we all know he’s 73 years old, no lie or propaganda will make us believe otherwise.

This interview was originally published in 2012 when President Bola Tinubu turned 60.

Photo 3: Immediately after being elected senator, Bola Tinubu signed an agreement with a Chinese company to set up operations in Lagos.

Chief MKO Abiola left Nigeria unanounced on August 3rd, 1993. His team said that he had gone to seek international support.

I remember that period very well. The Federal Military Government ran an advert campaign on the NTA Network Service and the campaign was targetted at parents and guardians. They implied that Chief Abiola had fled abroad and that parents and guardians should not allow their children to suffer and die on the streets (protest) for someone that had fled abroad. They said that Chief Abiola and his family would not join the protesters on the streets.

Chief Abiola returned to Nigeria on September 23rd, 1993 and Channels TV and other media houses interviewed Senator Bola Tinubu after Chief Abiola's return.

The first clip in this video is from September 1993. The second clip is from the early 2000s.

Photo 1) This picture was taken when Bola Tinubu was installed as the Akinrogun of Lagos by Oba Adeyinka Oyekan in 1992. You can see Oba Oyekan (standing at the center), and Chief MKO Abiola (standing to the right) as the chieftaincy title was conferred on Tinubu.

Photo 2) General Sani Abacha and his followers in the military (like Oladipo Diya) had promised Chief Abiola and his followers (like Senator Bola Tinubu) that they would take over power from Chief Ernest Shonekan and hand over to Chief Abiola. This photo was taken at Defence House, Glover Road, Ikoyi, during the discussions.
I weep for the Nigerians who don't know history, who don't read and who don't know this man and dismiss him. Look at his legacy, can Peter Obi tell a story of himself that will make u read beyond d second paragraph? Here is an international man, a professional corporate guy. Obi is a local village boy whose only professional career is a clearing agent in Tin Can. To even compare him to Tinubu is d greatest insult on Tinubu himself

I won't waste my time reading or watching any lengthy documentary on any Nigerian politician. Politicians that lack principles...people that love themselves more than their own race. People whose legacy is only what they have acquired fraudulently by cornering the common patrimony of their own kith and kin. By their fruits you shall know them

I have been saying this.

All the show Tinubu put out on Jun 12, 2025 was nothing but a charade to fool Nigerians who are not aware.

Bola Tinubu was part of those who supported IBB's annulment of the June 12 election.

His own godmother, Hajia Mogaji was organising Lagos market women to come to Abuja to pledge support for Babangida.

Tinubu was actively hand-in-glove with Babangida. NADECO was postulation formation to fight Abacha after he lobbied Abacha twice for a political position and Abacha declined.

1. The first was begging Abacha to make him the deputy Sole Administration to the then Lagos state Sole Administrator Col. Buba Maruwa (now the D.G, NDLEA). Abacha told him that his regime has no place for the position for state deputy sole administrator.

2. He went back to Aso rock again few weeks later to plead with Abacha to make him the commissioner for Finance, Lagos state. Abacha looked at him straight in the face and told him, let this be the last time he will ever step his foot in Aso Rock. Because he saw Tinubu as a judas to his principal, MKO Abiola who was wallowing in prison by the same Abacha.

After facing this rejections, he went and join NADECCO to be shouting June 12 upandan.

Upon sensing that Abacha was targeting the real NADECCO members both from the North, SW, SS and SE, he escaped through the borders to the UK when no one was chasing him and became a full member of NADECO.

Ebilokan himself must think that is an achievement, since he assessed his two years of hitting the ground running in hardship and suffering terms.

May 1, 2025

May Day: Hunger, unemployment, insecurity real— Tinubu

According to him: “The theme demands our collective attention and serves as a stark reminder of the need to create an environment where every worker feels safe, valued, and empowered to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our nation. As your President, I assure you that this administration is committed to creating such an environment for the common good.”

On the economic hardship, he noted that while it is a global phenomenon, its effects on Nigerians are particularly severe.

Tinubu said: “I am aware of the peculiarities of the economic hardship Nigerians face—rising living costs, hunger, insecurity, unemployment, and the loss of livelihoods. These challenges are real and demand definitive solutions, which I am poised to address as your President.

Kai !! This is too much . Husband and wife mentees of Tinubu, two of literaly thousands, who have gone on to produce restaurateur and hospitality sector benefit to all Nigerians, testifying positively for PBAT.

Where are the mentees of Atiku or Obi? Can't think of any for Atiku. With Obi only James Nwafor, Awkuzu SARs butcher, comes to mind.

God bless PBAT and give him at least 10 more years to complete two terms as President and then focus, for the rest of his years, on making the SW Nigeria what the human and material resources of the region indicate she should be.
You are so ignorant to the point to think only Tinubu have mentee because you only read or know about them, have you bothered to ask about or research about other people's mentee? No you won't because hate and inbuilt jealousy won't allow you. You cannot even read Tinubu's bio in peace without mentioning Obi or Atiku, how dilluttional?

It is no longer news that ALMOST everything TINUBU kicked against on the pages of newspaper back then is exactly what he is doing now, a well known double faced snake. That is the life of your mentor.

So someone wants to tell me that this man was below 50 years then. 32 years ago and the history look is a man of tending 60 years or plus. He is a liar of age. Him and them Atiku are age mate or he fit senior them self. That's the reason he doesn't not respect people of some ages that are above his political age. In his mind I senior you oo.

How does cooking for tinubu now automatically make that person a mentee of tinubu?

Let me ask, why are you not one of the "thousands"?

He turned 60 in 2012.

Meaning he's 72-73 now.

No wahala.

So........His being 60 in 2012 means he was how old in 1993? 41 years old?!?! That was 32 years ago, naa.....so he was 41 in that video I just watched.

So that's the video of a 41 year old man......

Issokay.......al least, I didn't allegedly anything.

I wonder why people are making comments about Bola Tinubu's age. A colloquium has been held on his birthday for almost 2 decades and the details of the colloquium are online.

Simply search for any of them and check the age that's indicated there.

Our leaders are really terrible, wicked and useless

I have read nearly 70% of the article,

What I discovered is that while the President was in yankee, the white people there kept giving him more opportunities, good professional advice to succeed as they saw that he was putting in the efforts, focus, committed, hardworking

But now him and his fellow leaders are doing the opposite! Disempowering the youth, instead of creating opportunities, destroying opportunities

And reserving the few existing opportunities for privileged families and friends, children, cronies and associates

It is so heartbreaking 💔
