I think Asiwaju has people thinking for him 247

Yes, since his time as a governor, he had some group of bright mind, whose only work is to brainstorm and advise on how to go about governance.

Is a well known strategy among lagosians

Same thing tinubu is doing now is it not same thing Nnamdi kanu was doing ie ethno centrism ? I don’t blame the hypocrite but the British that saw igbos as a threat and did everything to dislodge Igbo from power but I thank God for bringing their own karma everyday to their door steps

simpleseyi:
The next President is going to be a Yoruba from Kwara to take the slot of the North Central. Dem go cry tire

2031, Not sure of Kwara
But you see Kogi, Plateau, Nassarawa, Niger and Benue. Look at them closely.

A candidate from any of them with a VP from the SS.

EarthKing:
The president having the power to choose the INEC president, has flawed them as an independent institution.

It's like Madrid choosing a referee in a game against an opposition and expecting the referee not to be bias.


That is where electoral malpractice emanate from. Not even the snatching of boxes. The electoral law must put this into cognizance if we must make headway with our electoral process.

A team appointing the referee for a football match against other teams,
This is one of the madnesses that afflicted Nigeria.
Another of thee afflictions is the INEC "appointing" one as winner of election and the appointed winner gets sworn into office before the election petitions are decided.
No democracy.

aribisala0:
It is not sure that after Tinubu a president will come from the North why can't it come from the Ibo

Atiku nearly won in 2023

Why can't Pdp give Igbos their ticket?
If you give an Igbo man APC ticket, what is the guarantee that they will vote APC?

The problem I have with people like Koerogi is that mediocrity has taken over our public space.

Draftsmen parade themselves as Architects.

Quacks hold the title of professor. Someone tell me his contribution to scholarly work in his field!

In my time Nigerian professors were globally recognized authorities in their field. Go and verify, in my time a lecturer or professor from the 3rd rate American university where he teaches would never be employed in a Nigerian university. Go and verify!

ariesbull:
They ran with Muslim.muslim ..they north laughed the Igbo and YORUBA Celebrated

Now the North is crying

The Igbo still stays

The YORUBA would lament

The Igbo still stays

I'm sure you are very lazy to read the content because I wonder where you saw or think the north are crying

This logic is flawless, can't deny.

These are anomalies in our electoral system. The oppositions are quite about it, because it also favors them where they're in majority.

Imagine premier League saying VAR didn't work because of technical glitches... That's absurd!

When it comes to appointments, Kwara and Kogi are both part of South West. That's the narration they want us to believe

On this one it's agreeable with you.
Just that this country too get issue.

This man is dam brilliant, this is unaggureablly one of the best article have read from this man
Infact the best I've read in recent times

For the records am from delta state but my intellectual mind sees beyond the parochial and sentimental attachments on this platform.
I have a cerebral cum objective mind

Do you have evidence for this

JASONjnr:
But again, why are we stressing on this when clearly we know that Kogi state is in the North Central of Nigeria....

The tribe doesn't matter but the region is what we care about, constitutionally.

Also, Congratulations to Prof. Amupitan.

In fact, historically, the South West has never produced an INEC chairman, but all other regions have. Yorubas have been too marginalized in political appointments in Nigeria.

See the list of INEC chairmen from 1960 till date and I couldn't find a single South Westerner among them.

The fact is that INEC is yet to produce a South Westerner as INEC chairman. Yet Yorubas never protested for once. South East, South South and the North have been the ones ruling INEC, even Amupitan is a Northerner!

ariesbull:
We don't have YORUBA in Kogi and Kwara

Those people are not yoruba many of them aren't and don't like to be called yoruba ..example are the Okun and Kabba people

Many of them don't like being called yoruba and the article pointed it out ! But it's being smart by half

Many of you comment on what you have no clue about.

The battle by Yoruba in Northern Nigeria to be in same geopolitical group with their Yoruba kith and kin is as old as Nigeria.

Here's the most recent and I am aware that their leaders actually visited all the top Royal Fathers in South West to submit their demand.

It's true that they are Northerners at least for now.

helinues:
Both Apc chairman and INEC chairman are from NC

North Central is locked for president Tinubu's reelection.

Same way SW and SS are locked. The opposition should just give up

U think like fools..

See what adult like u saying..

So the masses voted don't matter again abi?

Onewazobia:

You're quite right, bro. Excellent example is the Governing advisory council (GAC) in Lagos

BlackPantherxXx:
Tinubu is like a boxing champion who makes you fight his own fight.

You abandon your gameplan and fight on his own terms.

Atiku will be sick to his stomach. Just wants to run for running sake. He knows he will be soundly beaten.

Tinubu is a disaster he will loose in a free and fair election, with which performance is he going to campaign, only on ethnicity and then rig election

simpleseyi:
Now you will know why he is the god of Politics. You Northern Oligarchy can collude with the Obidients and cry together.

he is the god of politics are you and your people are dying of hunger. Brainwashing in the highest peak

helinues:

always thinking from the pit. Hope the Apc and Inec chairman will determine the vote of nigerians. Always thinking from the butt

I am sorry bro your response is muddle in envy and jealous.

He has brilliantly pointed out some subtle but
important and deep insight even veteran politicians might even miss yet in a succinctly cohesive articles like this. And you're here yearn dust about his scholarship.

Can you pls tell us one or two of professors of yours that are written or contribute to national discourse to examine your claim of excellence?. Or perhaps your own articles of equal measure.

Coldspice:

What has this got to do with what I said ?
Did not mention any party

Exactly bro. His articulation and presentation in that article is top notch sentiment aside.

While I read most of articles, knowing him as someone that has penchant to talk for talk sake most time. I really appreciate is brilliance in that write up.

The two examples mentioned represent minority opinions. Kabba and okun name, tradition and culture is exactly as you have it in the southwest. Every kabba and Okun person understand and speak fluent Yoruba language

Una must talk

There are many more Nigerian professors acclaimed all over the world in the academic community.

The true test at an academic is your contribution to new knowledge in that field.. Anybody can teach what is already known. Your respect within the academic community is founded on your contribution to new knowledge..hence research It is your pioneering work in that field that turns you into a source of reference and citations. not by writing yeye articles.

There is no university in the world where these men listed above are not recognized and referenced as leading lights in their fields. Who references Kperogi? I can guarantee you just by the pedigree of his university alone that no one knows who korerofi is outside Nigeria even in his own field. If he was a leading light in his field he would not be teaching at kennesaw state university. He is there because that is the university that will employ him. Columbia, Yale, Harvard, Oxford, MIT, LSE etc have liberal arts departments. Nigerians teach and have taught in these universities, why is teaching he in a 3rd or 4th rate university?


You are likely a product of the Nigerian educational system post Babangida era and people like you don’t know the difference. I can guarantee you that if any of those professors gave you a letter of recommendation to any top university in the world, you will be admitted such is their status. Kperugi’s name means nothing except in Nigeria. The anigerian professors abroad who are rated amongst their peers don’t have time to interfere with what’s going on in Nigeria. Kperogi needs Nigeria to be relevant because he is not rated amongst his peers abroad.

What is also flawed under

Obasanjo
YARDUA
EBELE
BUHARI

Or was it flawed only under Tinubu ?
Pls educate us.

Asiwaju Bolatito Hammed Tinubu, Ekun oko Oke. The slayer of political terrorists, master planner of electioneering victories. Envy of Igbos, senior of Hausa, the pride of Yoruba, helper of N central, the father of Nigeria politics and the best president of our generation.
2027 It is a Goalllllllllll!!!!

Okoroawusa:
Mmmmm... you made a valid point if one looks at the bigger picture.

So this write up is sneakily working for tinubu

Iamzik:

understanding YORUBA doesn't make them YORUBA...I understand English do that make me an English man?

Even the writer said it

This is what I have experienced...many YORUBA or so called yoruba sounding names from that region hate to be called yoruba even the writer said it also
