Tinubu remains the biggest political figure in Nigeria. Take it or leave it..( From conquering other SW states back from PDP to sending the National PDP to Political oblivion) he might be corrupt, yes.. But I just have to give him kudos..


Surely one day I'm gonna become the biggest political figure in Southeast and Nigeria

God Bless Imo state My Home...

Is tinubu the only politician we have in the country today, online posters and PDP always make the guy bigger than what we even thought he is.

Why always tinubu, is becoming boring.

dammytosh:
The writer should have titled it
He unilaterally nominated the vice president of the federal republic of Nigeria. The Governor of the commercial capital of Nigeria, more than 6 Governors out of the 36 states are loyal to him.
He has Judges, senators and house of rep members loyal to him.
One of the main reason Buhari came to power was the merger he sanctioned.
I wish Tinubu's power reduces but the truth is that he is still waxing stronger.

Pre-historically, the world has seen kingdoms come and go. Indeed, one of the numerous philosophers that history has known is said to have prophesied that, “no kingdom lasts forever.” Perhaps, that saying, if correct, might be coming true for a novo-prince Nigerian politician in the southwestern climes.

This “prince’s” story sounds like a typical Indian movie-yarn which was a popular fare at a town in Lagos known as “Pen Cinema” where this same self “impostor” has allegedly converted to a personal estate, demolished and built up condos, shopping malls and banking halls et cetera today. He wants to be known as “Leader of the Yoruba” race after the venerated Obafemi Awolowo but the tides are turning.

Perhaps, Alhaji (Ja-gaba-n-somewhere in the north, Chief, ‘Asiwaju’) Bola Ahmed Tinubu might spare a few moments of his “very boogey time” to reminisce upon the historical antecedents of one of the world’s numerous political dynasties, which boomeranged. It is about an Indian of humble beginnings who failed to heed the creed that, whose palm kernel-nuts were cracked for them by benevolent spirits, must not forget to be humble!

It is about the Shaishunaga dynasty. Shaishunaga, or Susunaga, the founder (ofobscure origin) may have initially served as a mere orphan. Gradually he came to be associated with the early Magadhan capital ruler and re-
established an important city of in the northern Indian province of Bihar. However, during his “reign” he failed to be humble and eventually got “brutally murdered” politically because of his greed.

That sounds like ‘Asiwaju’ Tinubu’s story, but let us look at another scenario … of the Yoruba group of the Nigerian people who ‘Asiwaju’ Tinubu, in mere wishful thinking, considers himself as “leader.” Perhaps, this is not only because they number possibly 20 per cent of the national population, but also because the Encyclopedia Britannica as lists them scattered in “significant groups” in countries as far-flung as Cuba (North America/Caribbean), Brazil (South America), Benin Republic, and Togo (West Africa).

That encyclopedic entry says something profound about Yoruba women (a.k.a. persons cultivated by others to be “domesticated”): Yoruba “women [or “acquired” numbers] do little farm work but control much of the complex market system – their status depends more on their own position in the marketplace than on their husbands’ status.” It is simple to understand: the “cultivated” among certain classes of people (employees, political associates, or even protégées) must not always be taken for granted.

Herein lies the miscalculation – no I did not write “folly” – of ‘Asiwaju’ Tinubu’s serendipity. He forgot to be humble and now he has to force himself to eat the proverbial humble pie!

Has anybody noticed that, Tinubu, since badgering the national polity about being the cosmos that brought about the emergence of the ruling All Peoples Congress (APC) and so must dictate all trends therein, has suddenly gone silent since President Muhammadu Buhari obviously clipped Tinubu’s wings? Case in point is the much awaited #TheList.

One is intrigued that, a whopping 83 senators, dominated by no less than 59 APC of whom Tinubu claims to be “national leader,” have passed a vote of confidence on their President, Bukola Saraki – a name that Tinubu never wants to hear as Senate President. Mind you, there are only 108 senators currently, given that one died before inauguration.

Take a mini-census: literally all the people Tinubu put up for “safe-zone” posturing (positioning for personal Tinubu power) in the National Assembly have been chalked out politically and legally including Ahmed Lawan, George Akume and lately Kabir Marafa … keep counting.

Oh, it was to be Lawan for the Senate presidency or nothing – certainly – not any Bukola Saraki according to the Nostradamus alias ‘Asiwaju Jagaban’. But, that was not going to be, perhaps, because a more pragmatic and brilliant politician in Saraki, says so. Surely, the “Jagaba-n-Bida” does not seem to have noticed. In the Hausa language predominant in northern Nigeria, the word “jagaba” translates lead but the attached “n” represents the word “of” in the English language. So the Jagaba-n (which most people misconstrue as mythical) is just like saying, for instance, the “Jester-of-Borokiri.”

But, back to germane national matters, against all avowals as to who Tinubu liked, wanted in, favoured or cared most about, virtually all have been shorn of respectability by Buhari and the APC. Note that, never did Tinubu ever wish that any word sounding like “Fashola,” “Fayemi,” et cetera could appear on anything tagged “ministerial list.” Now, all those and more “non-Tinubu” words are prominent there on.
Or, did any person expect that both President Buhari and the APC (the party of which Tinubu’s domineering influence is anything now fast diminishing) could so ignominiously ignore the self-aspiring leader of the Yoruba?

Indeed, even in Tinubu’s South-West political zone where claims to be king, it is no longer anything as politically rosy as he sees his spurious dynasty. Instead, most of people he claims to be his foot soldiers politically are beginning to read the graffiti and getting used to aligning with the realities of the times: the the man is suffering, perhaps, from an aggrandizement of self far larger than the political image he paints of himself. It is not only the manner in which both former President Olusegun Obasanjo and sitting Ogun State Gov. Ibikunle Amosun shot down Tinubu’s plans for the Federal Cabinet, but also in the manner in which Obasanjo (especially) dashed Tinubu’s hopes to thwart Saraki’s Senate presidency. Perhaps, Gbajabiamila is learning the bitter lessons of blind followership.

Meanwhile, one is tempted to encourage the very erudite propagandist Alhaji Lai Mohammed to similarly see the light and stop bickering over his misfortune of becoming governor of Kwara State instead of Bukola Saraki (many years ago) in different political party tags at the time, and now concentrate on being confirmed minister of nigeria. Blind followership is simply over: anybody who is honest with him/herself can see that Ahmed Bola Tinubu’s political ascendancy has gone the way of all earthly kingdoms. Exile beckons, perhaps

Everything you have written only exists in your small thinking. To say you are intelligently backward is an understatement.

LordMecuzy:
Okay. cool

tuniski:
if u think that pDP is dead why are contestants in the upcoming elections in kogi and bayelsa not jettisoning the platform for APGA and the others? Well, wake up the only opposition party is currently PDP with sizeable presence in NASS with 13 states. Everywhere u find pdp to cap it, many masquerading as apc today are actually PDP by DNA! Wake up and smell the coffee day don break. Even buhari won't be able to stop his own defeat come 2019!

I found myself reflecting on the behavior of some Igbo members of Nigerian Internet forums. These folks deliberately make up false stories about other Nigerians and write about them on the forums. They consciously aim at damaging folks reputations.

They consciously do what they do and in their minds, apparently, believe that they are at war with those that they say nasty things about. As it were, they believe that they are engaged in propaganda war and that as such they are entitled to misrepresent the reality of those they believe are their enemies. As they say, at war all is fair game (or is it?).

These people try to outdo Joseph Goebbels in telling lies about other people They hope that folks who read their lies (almost always written in bad English) grin grin would believe them.

sirnicson:
BUT REALLY THIS POST IS VERY POORLY WRITTEN FOR A POLITICAL COMMENT OR LITERAL PROSE.
1. There is no logical sequence
2. There is no flow
3. No clear meaning or deduce-able meaning. As hard as you try to find the connect between the post and the subject, you wouldnt see it.
4. It is not captivating and neither holds the reader. As hard as you try to continue reading, you cannot but skip quickly to the end and make comments about the Subject rather than the content.
5. Many people scanned quickly through the post, because the post lost its intetesting vibes from its first 3 paragraphs as there seem to be no logical relationship, nor captivating hold for readers to laugh, reminisce or thinkup a criticism for!

The way some tribalistic conceived egg heads comments baffles me. A yoruba man wrote some thing that is not sweet to hear. U then ascribed it to igbo nation. Na wa oh. Call a Danfo a danfo not keke because say na ur enemy get am. Some bag of d..ks will keep colouring issues with tribal remarks to extract up sentiments.

k1centy:
Why are you HAROLD adebola SMITH? Let's see a copy of your certified birth certificate to confirm you being a yoruba before we dialogue on what U've just posted.

tonychristopher:
You see how stupid you are sounding and how you are disgracing Yoruba

A Yoruba man wrote an article about a fellow Yoruba man and his leadership over Yoruba ethnic .you have ended calling Biafra and Igbo in extension


This is to prove that many of your type lack logical reasoning and also proves that Igbo are the average Yoruba nightmare ...they even have evidences that Igbo masquerades chase some Yoruba in dream ...lol


Now get back to the topic and have a logical thinking
