IF YOU ARE THE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA AND YOU HAVE CHILDREN, WILL YOU LET THEM GO AROUND ALONE?

IT IS ALWAYS EASY TO CRITICISE UNTIL YOU FIND YOURSELF IN THAT POSITION, THEN YOUR LEVELS GO CHANGE OVERNIGHT..

LOUD HYPOCRITES.

Rufai Oseni is just being petty.

Something must have happened between him and Seyi which he is not telling us

zomby:
We cannot dictate what is ideal for safeguarding this individual, as none of us here are security specialists. We should be aware and intelligent enough to recognize that the protection of these entities depends on the current situation in the country, meaning that every day or week presents new challenges. His security must be extremely tight and consistent; anything less would be a significant error.

For example, while there are no known kidnappers in the USA, you certainly wouldn't want to see President Trump or his children unprotected. It is essential that the protocol for their protection remains exceptionally tight, intimidating, and consistent.

I have seen President Trump's convoy along with his children's a few times; and I can assure you that it is absolutely wild! you will not believe it.

"No one dares touch Seyi Tinubu’s personal security team, not even the IG of Police" – Rufai Oseni

Popular Arise TV anchor Rufai Oseni has thrown down the gauntlet in a manner that only he can: blunt, fearless, and straight to the point.

During Wednesday’s edition of The Morning Show (December 10, 2025), Oseni reacted to Nobel laureate Prof. Wole Soyinka’s widely circulated criticism of the heavy security entourage that accompanies Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu.

Soyinka had narrated how he was stunned to see what he called a “small battalion” of armed policemen, soldiers, and DSS operatives escorting a young man at a Lagos hotel. When he discovered it was the president’s son, the literary icon described the display as “obscene,” especially at a time when ordinary Nigerians live in constant fear of kidnappers and bandits. He urged the authorities to “stop overdoing things.”

President Tinubu himself had, only weeks earlier, ordered the immediate withdrawal of police officers attached to VIPs across the country so they could be redeployed to fight rising insecurity. Yet, as Soyinka’s encounter showed, some VIPs appear to be more important than others.

That contradiction was all Rufai Oseni needed.

Speaking on live television, he said the presidential directive would be obeyed everywhere except when it comes to Seyi Tinubu.

His exact words, delivered partly in the street-sharp Pidgin that resonates with millions of viewers, have since gone viral: “Dem no born anybody in Nigeria to remove police officers guiding Seyi Tinubu not even the IG of Police himself. Dem no born am well!”

In plain English: no one, not even the Inspector-General of Police, has the courage or authority to withdraw Seyi Tinubu’s security detail.

Oseni argued that while politicians, businessmen, and traditional rulers may eventually lose their police escorts, the president’s son remains untouchable a living symbol of how power truly works in Nigeria.

The studio exchange with co-anchor Dr. Reuben Abati underlined the point: Abati: “Even the IG can’t do it?”

Oseni: “My brother, dem no born am well.”

Within hours, the clip spread across WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok, sparking heated debates about privilege, nepotism, and the unequal distribution of security in a country where farmers are killed daily and schoolchildren are still being abducted.

As of now, neither the Presidency, the Nigeria Police Force, nor Seyi Tinubu has responded to the growing controversy.

But one thing is clear: in the court of public opinion, Rufai Oseni has spoken for millions who feel that, in today’s Nigeria, some citizens are simply more equal and far better protected than others.

AlphaTaikun:
Contrary to some highly ignorant posters here,
'Seyi Tinubu is absolutely entitled to security protection from the DSS (and it should be discreet like it is done all over the world) to protect the family members of every Heads-of-State or President around the world.

The visible present of the Police and Army men and women wearing formal uniforms while openly guarding some Nigerians isn't proper... It has to be done discreetly with undercover secret service agents. Period.

lawani:
If private security companies are allowed to carry arms, VIPs won't need the police. VIPs need protection too and who will protect them? It is not only the President's family that needs security

When someone says the truth...


Or at least his mind. Then it means something must have happened between them. Even if something happened between them is he lying in what he said?

We Nigerians should learn to stop interpreting things depending on the side of the divide we fall under!

Kindledlight:
Don’t say what you don’t know, Yusuf has security details guarding him so also are other President’s children.

Infact there was a report that says some DSS operatives were suspended when he had that power bike accident because they weren’t diligent in their duties.

No one is above the law, not even the president's son.

Which truth is rufai oseni saying

A serial traffic offender. Mr animal husbandry cum per kilometer

Curious345:
The son of the president deserves extra security irrespective.

In the United States , the CIA FBI AND SECRET SERVICE protects the president and his family .

So what do you mean Mr wole
