| How Trump Forced Tinubu To Realize The Greatness Of Igbos In Nigeria by franchasofficia(op): 4:13pm On Feb 15*. Modified: 5:34pm On Feb 15 |
If you have been following Bola Tinubu's political style and body language since 2015 especially, you will notice that Tinubu was more inclined to Northerners than ever. He used every opportunity he had to malign Igbos and rally his Southwest base starting from Lagos state to sideline and make Igbos the greatest threat to Southwest and it's political interest in Nigeria and this really helped him to go far in his political journey because antagonizing Igbos since the end of the civil war has always helped many politicians and even none politicians to maintain relevance and closeness to the ruling North. Igbo people's unwillingness to abandon and sacrifice Goodluck Jonathan in 2015 further helped Bola Tinubu's cause as he capitalized on that to cement his alliance with the North and changed the story of the Southwest political journey of being mostly in opposition to become aligned to the ruling party when Buhari through the alliance or North+Southwest mostly and with US President Obama's decision to ensure a regime change in Nigeria after Goodluck Jonathan boldly rejected his proposal to legalize gay practice and gay marriage in Nigeria before 2015. Shortly after Goodluck Jonathan rejected Obama's proposal to legalize LGBT in Nigeria, Obama got infuriated and unleashed his political mercenary as the President of the most powerful nation on earth to ensure Goodluck was disgraced out of office using insecurity as the focal point. This led to US refusal to sell arms to Nigeria and even went ahead to block Goodluck and Nigeria from buying military arms from virtually all countries ranging from; Israel, Germany, Pakistan, India, etc, to the extent Goodluck was left with no other option but to use private military contractors to source for military arms for Nigerian military, this led to the use of Pastor Ayor Oritsejiafor's private jet to ferry millions of US dollars in cash to South Africa to buy military arms from South Africa which Obama's government still tracked and bursted and termed it money laundering. APC capitalized on this spiralling insecurity in the Northeast especially to build a strong campaign against Goodluck Jonathan's regime among Nigerians who then saw Goodluck as a very weak President. Little did Nigerians know that Goodluck Jonathan was completely handicapped and his hands tied by US President Barrack Obama who wanted a regime change in Nigeria. I am sorry to say this here that PDP already planned to rig the 2015 Presidential election and Obama knowing what incumbent Presidents can do in Africa had to make a formal address to Nigerian government officials and the Inec a day to the election, warning of serious consequences, it was at this time that Goodluck Jonathan realized that he was the target of Obama and may become another Gbagbo of Ivory Coast if he doesn't apply wisdom, this made Goodluck to make that call to Buhari to concede defeat and demoralize PDP stalwarts. Tinubu being a key player in the opposition prior to 2015, understands the power of the US President and that was why he acted swiftly the moment Donald Trump made the derogatory remarks about Nigeria in late 2025. Many people around Tinubu who doesn't understand what was at play wanted Tinubu to verbally challenge Donald Trump but Tinubu who knew better how Obama single handedly removed Goodluck Jonathan in 2015, knew that the same playbook was about to be played against him, so he quickly applied wisdom as he ran to France President Emmanuel Macron for guidance and he guided him to comply with Donald Trump's demands not minding what his people and those around him thinks or wants. This led to the hiring of a famous US lobbying firm to start image rebranding of Nigeria before US President Donald Trump while the Nigerian First Lady planned her own visit as part of the image uplift before Trump. Many Tinubu's supporters who don't know what was going on behind the scenes were bragging that Tinubu will never allow US to send Troops to Nigeria or even establish a military base, but unknown to them, Tinubu's government has already agreed to do all the recommendations and requests of US President Donald Trump via Riley Moore and co. The first surprise came when US military bombarded some terrorist enclaves in Northern Nigeria during last Christmas, many thought that would be the end, but sooner than later, US military planes started arriving Nigeria with US troops and military wares as more is expected in coming weeks. For those that don't know the roles Obama played against Goodluck Jonathan to ensure Jonathan was removed from office, please find time and watch this video by a former US soldier. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1ECNWFUMUv/ Now you maybe wondering how Igbos came into the scene right?

Remember how this whole Trump interest in Nigerian affairs started? It started with IPOB hiring a US lobbying firm to push for the disintegration of Nigeria, citing persecution of Christians in Nigeria as they stressed how an independent Christian-nation carved out of Nigeria from the Southeastern Nigeria could help safeguard Christians in Nigeria and also serve as US and Israel's biggest ally nation in Africa. Honorable mentions to Reverend Dachomo's constant truth-exposing videos on the evil activities Muslim Jihadists against Middlebelt Christians. Followed by Catholic Prelate and Archi Bishop Anagbe's testimony in the US. This messages seemed to excite Donald Trump and he started paying more attention to Nigeria he once saw as a shith**le country during his first tenure. Then came the Onitsha Main Market Screwdriver trader who built a formidable NGO focused on telling the untold stories of Christian persecution and geno in Nigeria by the Northern Muslim Jihadists. Gradually, these two groups; IPOB and Onitsha Main Market Screwdriver Trader's self-founded NGO brought US President Donald Trump's attention to Nigeria Christians' plight and Trump acted on it. These events uncovered Tinubu's blindfold and disdain for Igbos he once saw as politically worthless and irrelevant in Nigerian politics, which even encouraged Lagos state government to start pushing for more anti-Igbo policies as a way of ending Igbo people's political and economic influence in Lagos and Southwest. Gradually, you can begin to see Tinubu's government and those around him who once saw Igbos as irrelevant begin to soften their war machines and now looking for how to build temporary bridge across the Niger to help Tinubu win reelection in 2027. Let's watch and see as things unfold. What do you think? |

You are on point. But those who are political jobbers will pretend to not understand. In 2022/2023 APC barely campaigned in the Southeast because to them, votes from the zone were inconsequential, but now they are desperately looking for allies and ambassadors all over the place in the Southeast. franchasofficia: |

I am not a Tinubu's fan but take it or leave it, Bola Tinubu is a very smart politician who understands Nigerian evil politics and how it works and he doesn't take any chances at all. Tinubu is smarter than Jonathan and Buhari when it comes to playing the dirty Nigerian politics and that is why I suspect he may win reelection even though majority of Nigerians wish he doesn't get reelected. To me, Goodluck Jonathan bleeped up, he had intelligence as the President, he knew Obama was after him and wanted him out at all cost, Jonathan ought to have stepped aside and allowed a Northern candidate like Sule Lamido to fly PDP's ticket to ensure the Presidency remained in PDP, but he realized very late and had to make the call to concede defeat to save his own head and that started the death of PDP. Same way Atiku shouldn't have decamped to APC knowing Buhari was there and will definitely win the ticket, what then was his plans to become President, after Buhari his own brother? All of them are not as smart as Tinubu when it comes to playing Nigerian style politics |

Tinubu went to SE before the 2023 general election to beg for your people's vote. Y'all insulted him, he warned that he'll work first for people that vote him in. Yet he has done many things for the region that wage the most war against him during the election. And yet you guys are still waging political war against him. Election hasn't started, he has started sending people to SE to solicit for votes. Y'all been assuring them Tinubu won't get any vote in SE. Yet you are the one crying of hate. Reasses yourself. |

franchasofficia:So Lamido would have won buhari in 2015? I don't think so. |
| Re: How Trump Forced Tinubu To Realize The Greatness Of Igbos In Nigeria by franchasofficia(op): 5:36pm On Feb 15 |
Tenses:If Goodluck Jonathan had stepped down earlier enough when he noticed that Obama didn't want him to continue as Nigeria's President, Atiku, the Governors and even Tambuwal wouldn't have decamped from PDP to start with, and Buhari wouldn't have had the massive Northern followership he enjoyed because Goodluck was a Southerner, plus PDP would have rigged the election and Obama wouldn't have showed interest the moment Goodluck stepped aside and didn't participate in the PDP Primaries |
| Re: How Trump Forced Tinubu To Realize The Greatness Of Igbos In Nigeria by franchasofficia(op): 5:38pm On Feb 15 |
alanto:Point of correction bro, Tinubu didn't went to Southeast to solicit for votes, he went to Southeast to threaten Igbos that if they don't work for him nor vote him that they won't share in the portion of the national cake when he wins, that was never a campaign but a threat and an insult |

Ipob members are always on self-deceit course. Trump only knows ipob as terrorist. Tinubu wife gets more access to Trump than south east bandits. Why not tell Trump to grant KANU and ekpa freedom from their jails of he even notices they exist or tell him to grant Biafra. You better stop deceiving yourself, only Tinubu wife can kill ipob in front of Trump |
| Re: How Trump Forced Tinubu To Realize The Greatness Of Igbos In Nigeria by franchasofficia(op): 6:23pm On Feb 15 |
sreamsense:Of course Tinubu's wife ought to have easier access to Trump because she is the First Lady. Simon Ekpa is a foolish boy that ought to languish in jail forever, majority of Igbos don't want him out including myself cos I warned him severally here and on x but he always attacked me and waved my messages to him aside. In fact, IPOB have a hand in his arrest because several times they petitioned Finnish government before Nigerian government even took theirs serious. As for Nnamdi Kanu, Tinubu is using him to play politics. Tinubu knows that releasing Kanu will finish his chances of securing some votes in the North so he needed to do what he did to assure Northerners that they are together, but wait until he wins reelection. Besides Kanu have been asked severally to denounce Biafra agitation to get freedom and he refused, even Sunday Igboho collaborated this too and also advised Kanu to shield his sword and embrace the offer for peace but Kanu being a stubborn man who doesn't like to back down from his decision has paid def ears to all the people that advised him to shield his sword as he strongly believes that he would get Biafra dead or alive. So leave his case aside, he knows what he signed up for, he understands that leading secession in Africa is a very dangerous game, so leave him to his fate, Tinubu is only playing politics that he knows best. |

franchasofficia:Just make sure you write it somewhere with your pen that you are deceiving yourself. If you hated ekpa before his arrest, ipob should have impeached him or tagged him as saboteur for the world to know. Unfortunately, he is one man battalion that locks everybody including you making mouth on Monday-monday self imprisonment. What concern KANU with Nigeria talkless of Tinubu? He said UK, USA, Israel and his foreign lawyers were comming to rescue him. Tinubu broke the backbones of IPOB and threw KANU in the zoo he had predicted for himself. Have you heard "emilokan" from Tinubu before? If yes, that tells you he doesn't need 1 million of KANU for his election or future relection. KANU is just being suffered for his terrorism sins. |

| Re: How Trump Forced Tinubu To Realize The Greatness Of Igbos In Nigeria by franchasofficia(op): 9:02pm On Feb 15 |
sreamsense:The problem most of you from that side have is hatred blinded you guys from seeing the truth. You didn't see several videos where IPOB members in Europe fixed IPOB meeting in Finland, in Lahti where Simon Ekpa lived calling on him to come out and attend if he knows he is representing IPOB and not a saboteur and he refused to attend and rather hired white security guards to protect his residence and prevent unauthorized visitors? Search online the videos are all there. Simon Ekpa was dismissed by IPOB several times but he went ahead and floated another group he named: Biafran Government in Exile and declared himself the Prime Minister which IPOB leadership condemned and dissociated themselves from several times but Simon Ekpa kept using it to work with the Nigerian government to destabilize Southeast with gunmen enforced sit-at-home as against IPOB's voluntary sit-at-home initiated from the time of Nnamdi Kanu to curtail IPOB members casualty that result from Nigerian security going after peaceful IPOB protesters in the past. Simon Ekpa also used the same group to extort money from gullible Igbos in diaspora he deceived into donating money to him as he claimed that his use of gunmen to enforce sit-at-home will force Nigerian government to release Nnamdi Kanu whereas he was working against Nnamdi Kanu and praying he doesn't come out so that he can hijack the Biafra agitation cause for his selfish financial gains. Many Igbos warned him, I did severally even on this forum by attacking his person moniker MaziSimonEkpa on this forum. |

Too bad the black man is still campaigning with building or refurbishing roads in the 21st century. Give them roads but no security of lives when they ply the roads.. people simply would be too scared to use the roads you build. Op, you are on point as always..💯 |
