First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu has donated ₦110 million to support the families of the 22 Kano athletes who tragically passed away in an accident earlier this year.

On Thursday, the Kano State governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Dawakin Tofa, announced that each family benefited from a ₦5 million allocation facilitated by the First Lady's intervention. This support, provided under the Victim Support Fund, is intended to alleviate the families' hardship and aid in their recovery process.

There are several problems here, and the first is that such monetary overcompensation is at the very heart of the Tinubus’ politics. Whether Mr or Mrs Tinubu or even son Seyi, the family offers cash in a way that suggests they are either atoning for how they made the money or are simply incapable of sustaining relationships not denominated through the cash gifts (or both).


For instance, not too long ago, Mrs Tinubu embarked on her now moribund project of encouraging women to engage in backyard farming and announced the Every Home A Garden competition, where first-time women farmers would showcase their gardens to potentially win a N25m prize. She made the same monetary offer when she also launched her now-defunct national Aṣọ Ẹbí design competition.


The cash prizes were disproportionate to the activity for which they were intended, making the money seem like the primary goal. Why attach such a humongous sum if not a lack of trust in your ability to inspire a national movement that would take a life of its own? If the contests had any bearing on the reality of the people for whom they were said to have been designed, they would have devolved towards it naturally rather than try to buy their interest.


The Tinubu family knows nobody would love them without their money, and so they regularly bribe their way into the hearts of an impoverished populace.

Bobloco:
Is this not the same First Lady who told us that she and her husband had no money and had to beg and borrow ₦2 million from Shettima's wife?

Where is she getting all this money she has been doling out on a daily basis? The last time I checked the office of the first lady isn't known to law.

Have they opened the national treasury to her just as her husband built a conduit pipe connecting the coffers of the Lagos State treasury to his personal pocket, siphoning and milking the commonwealth of Lagosians for over two decades and counting?
