You should direct this question to Reno Omokri, not to me or anyone else.
You and Reno Omokri should be the ones arguing about that.
How is Tinubu implicated in the Rolls Royce story

Reno is just too articulate. Look at facts but sad and bitter people will still say otherwise without countering him with fact. Tinubu should make Reno a special advicer and possibly minister of information in his second term if he wins which is likely anyway. We need to be hearing history not fake lies they try to feed us but unfortunately some person has been cajoled with it.

Were you there when they paid him?

One thing I’ve noticed is that you people can’t stand the truth.

Once you hear Truth, you start looking to divert.

Disgraceful.
Thank God for gifting Nigeria, Reno Omocri. He is just to factual with facts. Igbos have decieved alot of Nigerians with lies. Just look at the history of Dangote but they will still say, he made money from government. Did his great and grand parents also make thier money from government. That is definitely the biggest and best business lineage in Africa. Imagine those hypocrite on this platform who exposed Obi's non performance as governor but now calling him the messaih that will change Nigeria but couldn't change small anambra.

Na Twitter and Facebook go plenty pass. Igbos have told alot of lies. I keep wandering were are ojukwu properties cos the ones at Apapa which is arguably the biggest he had is not upto to ten buildings but they will tell you, he owns most properties in Apapa. Area that I knows very well. This people lies for a living. He may not even have a roll royce.

The question that ought to be asked is whether Reno Omokri can continue defending Tinubu so persistently without receiving any form of compensation or benefit in return.
No the question that ought to be asked if tinubu was mentioned in the article then Why bring up tinubu?

Now listen! Ikembas' dad DID provide his Rolls for the Royal visit to Nigeria in 1956! The Queen obviously used different ones for her visits to the Northern and Western Regions, but for her visit to the Eastern Region, she used Sir Louis' Rolls Royce. So the assertion that bigots and Igbo haters are trying to disprove, simply out of hate, is true!

In the attached clip that focused on here trip to the Eastern Region, you can see The Queen shaking hands with Sir Louis @1.21 He's the one looking a bit like MKO Abiola. And at @1.42 you can see her arriving the Eastern Assembly in Sir Louis' Rolls. Notice the Rolls is different from the other two shown on this thread which she used in the Northern and Western Regions....those were either fully convertible (Northern) or partly convertible (Western). A better view of the car is shown from @4.25

Why bring up Tinubu? Tinubu is president and and because it’s impossible to talk about the normalization of ethnic baiting in Nigerian politics without mentioning the very man who turned ‘Èmi Lọ Kàn’ from a personal ambition into a dog whistle for tribal supremacy. If Reno is playing the tribal card today, it’s because Tinubu’s brand of politics made it a winning hand. So instead of pretending to be confused, ask yourself why you’re defending silence when the seed was sown by the man you support. Accountability doesn't skip your favorites

What do you expect from an Ex-wife if not bitterness?! Just like Obi and Obidients who fell apart with Reno Omokiri who used to support Obi and Biafra.

You should focus on what Reno Omokiri has said, and counter him.
He should also use the same energy he uses on PO on his wife.

And what do you expect from a Tinubu senior Zombies besides clout chasing. All these narratives does stop igbos from being an alpha tribe in Nigeria. Igbos are simply the best tribe in Nigeria. If you argue this ask randomly outside the shores of Nigeria. You will come back with the a disappointing but true answer.

Rather, Reno Omokri is deeply obsessed and gradually becoming manic on Igbo matters.

One funny thing about ipob is their lies and they lie and chestbeat at the same time yet no official records validates any of their claims. A man and a journalist had a beer parlour gist over a bottle of beer about igbos being the highest billionaires yet till date, none have appeared in Forbes top list.
This same Reno said that Tinubu is a drug Baron and he Even pasted evidence just like this. Is it true or false that Tinubu is a drug Baron?

This is the article, he was praising the yorubas

But ignorance is a disease… pasting a headline to mislead people actually shows lack of depth in thinking.

I believe this is why Reno wants to ensure age old lies are busted.

Shalom

1. Sir Louis Ojukwu was a great man. He accomplished and made so much wealth before he died. All without Oil.

He was so Rich he did not need official papers to visit the Britain.

Sir Ojukwu's Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith LWB

was used to chauffeur Queen Elizabeth during her 1956 visit.

2. According to Forbes Africa, Sir Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu, who founded the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), was the first Billionaire in Nigeria.

He practically owned Victoria Garden, Lagos.

3. Sir Ojukwu went to lagos with nothing in 1929 aged just 20 but 10 years later, he was already managing his own chain of businesses which included, Ojukwu Stores, Ojukwu textiles and Ojukwu transportation company.

4. By 1950, just Ojukwu Transportation company had over 200 trucks in its fleet. How did he do it?

Born Louis Philip Odumegwu Ojukwu in Nnewi in 1909, the only boy and second of four children,Sir Ojukwu went to Government primary School Asaba.

5. In 1922, he proceeded to the only secondary School in the Eastern region at the time, Hope Waddell training institute, Calabar. After completing his secondary School education in 1928.

Sir Louis secured a job as a tyre sales clark with John Holt lagos in 1929.

6. It was working as a tyre clark the Sir Louis Ojukwu noticed that many Igbo traders who came to lagos to buy tyres also bought textiles as well.

With his meagre saving, Sir Louis travelled down to Onitsha where he opened his first business venture called "Ojukwu stores"

7. and employed one of his relatives to oversee it.

He then returned to lagos and started sending down textiles on Lorries to his shop while still working for John Holt. Sir Louise's textile boomed.

By 1930, Louis bought a second hand truck

8. and employed a driver in other move his goods himself and 'Ojukwu transport company' was born. Sir Ojukwu worked tirelessly and by end of the 1930's, was the major transporter on the East-West Road.

In 1939, on the outbreak of world war 2, the British Government requested

9. use of Sir Ojukwus fleet of trucks for the War effort to which he agreed.

When the war ended in 1945, the British Goverment recognised the sacrifice he made and he was awarded a KBE (Knight of the British Empire).

10. The end of the war also created a high demand for raw materials from West Africa and Sir Ojukwus Transport business exploded sky high and he diversified into other businesses.

Some of Sir Ojukwu's early drivers such as Chief Ilodibe (Ekene Dili Chukwu)

11. and Chief Izuchukwu (Izuchukwu Transport) would later become Transport moguls themselves (Igbo wealth Creation).

Sir Louis was also a financial pillar of Ziks NCNC party and when the party came to power in 1960, Sir Louis was offered the position of Finance Minister

12. which he turned down, the position ultimately went to Okotie-Eboh. Sir Louis died in Nkalagu, present day Ebonyi state, in 1966.

Some.of his key achievements includes ;

- The first President of the Nigerian Stock Exchange.

- President, African Continental Bank

13. - Chairman, Nigerian cement company (NIGERCEM)

- CEO, Ojukwu Transport company...over 5000 fleet of trucks.

- Chairman, Nigerian National Shipping Line...over 100 ships and vessels

- Chairman, Lion Of Africa Insurance Company

14. - Chairman, BISCO Nigeria Limited cool Chairman, Nigerian Industrial Development Bank. founded to specifically give loans to industries

- Vice President, lagos Chamber Of Commerce

- Chairman, Palmline Shipping company

- Chairman, Nigerian Produce Marketing board

15. - Director, Shell D'Arcy Petroleum

- Director, Thomas Wyatt & Son

- Director, Nigerian Coal corporation

- Director, Guiness Nigeria Limited

- Director, Nigerian Tobacco Company

- Director, Daily Times of Nigeria

16. Sir Louis Ojukwu also owned numerous building, landed properties and stocks.

It is estimated that as at the time he died in 1966, he was worth about 40 Billion Dollars in today's money.

How many Billionaires in Nigeria today do we know their background?

17. It is not a coincidence that his town, Nnewi, has the highest number of Billionaires in Nigeria today. You can clearly see the effect of wealth distribution. He inspired many of those Billionaires from Nnewi and beyond. Until a man that believes & understands wealth distribution
