This person above me has said it all... Tinubu installed many prominent politicians in Nigeria and he has them in his pocket...

If these attributes makes him a powerful man then there's no different between him and the armed robbers or kidnappers they too are also powerful.

I don't think he is powerful is just that Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani tend to be very demure and respectful to someone in their societies who has risen above board notwithstanding if he or she is right or wrong...they will be loyal to that person. The cultural reverence that come with the throne of Obas, Onis and Emirs also makes it easier for them to control the people. With Igbos...it's impossible as they are not used to having powerful people! Igbo society is naturally and culturally an egalitarian society....everyone is equal! Have you heard of a powerful Igbo man before? Lol. The only way you will be powerful to Igbos is if you are fighting for their freedom...as in Ojukwu and Nnamdi Kanu, then you are talking otherwise you are just an ordinary person no matter your wealth and political clout.
That is thesame way Yoruba's and hausa-fulani will continuing ruling this nation till Christ comes.

He has paid his dues. He single handedly ensured the survival of the opposition in Nigeria when the PDP tsunami of 2003 swept across the South West. Dude ensured Lagos didn't fall and from then launched a campaign that would see to the recapturing of the SW, ultimately resulting in what we have today.

Tinubu is no saint, but you just gotta respect his political astuteness. Hell of a sage.
Tinubu had a choice to join PDP but he never did! Tinubu is an enigma,honestly,he did politics to d extent dt if Our Sage Awolowo was to be around,he will salute his prowess. He is a giant of a politician, for d fact,he gave his platform for the over-rated Atiku when he had problem with OBJ! He discretely supported Jonathan in 2011, and GEJ even said it in 2015 on AIT dt PMB is associating himself with genius then,so that sums it up. I'm ever proud of Tinubu,not that he is from my tribe,but he was d brain behind d formation of APC!!!!

You IPOB guys are impossible to understand, you accuse others of not letting you go, but you refuse to leave the land of the people you accuse of not letting you go. It is like the people of Israel refusing to leave Egypt after pharoah told them to go, because they helped build Egypt. You people hate hausa and yoruba so much but want to continue living with them on their lands.
Yes Jews live and own properties in Europe, America, Asia, Australia and Africa, because the Jews have never spewed hatred against the people of the lands they live in. The minute they start hating and insulting their host countries or communities, they would be shown the way out.

Your post made me laugh...... The last election said it all, with more than 90% of the votes going to one political party in the east. check if APC got up to 80% in any of the south westhern states despite Tinubu's influence in the region. The simple truth is that, no Politician in Nigeria is ready to give any political post to credible person, or negotiate with you just to sacrifice his ambition for yours (they will prefer to die there than to negotiate).

Do you know what you are saying, with all the dollars share and wasted by Jonathan, he still did not won in SW.
Next election, am expecting the same dollars to bribe the people. Jonathan turn CBN to dollar ATM for election.

Greatest joke of the century...Igbo's are yet to even discover themselves...no other tribe in Nigeria has a discord of unity amongst them like the igbos. Even Gburgburu himself (may his soul rest in peace) couldn't muster votes to win presidency in some Igbo stayes when he contested for Presidency of Nigeria....abeg go sleep

It is a cycle and examples of this is the saraki empire ,adedibu died before he could install his son kamoru as Oyo state governor.
But the same cycle is repeating itself all over the nation. If you can give people food and token amounts they will do anything to protect and propagate your interest.

You're right but that's just 30% of the picture. Few years ago I used to think this way too but to sustain these political empires it goes deeper than food and token amounts. If you want to win an election, it will work but if you want to build an army of loyalists, it takes more than this. If you disagree with me, I will give you examples, mostly what I witnessed with my own eyes.

3) Against OBJ,
4) Against Jonathan.
5) Buhari try 4 times unsuccessfully until Tinubu.
6) Controlling Lagos for 17 years with 30% Nigeria economy.
7) Single handedly form a political party.
cool Removing a ruling president.
9) Removing a ruling party PDP.
10) Installed two governor in Lagos.
11) The only relevant past Governor in 1999/2007, 16 years ago.


12) The only relevant politicians from 92 as a senator till date 2016 that's 25 year's. Minus 25 years from Dino age, where is Dino then.

Without any argument, Tinubu is the greatest political strategist of the past 3 decades...

Part of the Senator's that pass vote of no confidence against IBB that force him to step aside in 1992. A prominent member of SDP that support MKO in one of the best election in Nigeria history.

Fought Abacha.....

Fought Obj,It is on record that Obj used his trick to captured some state in southwest that belong to AD even thou Tinubu warned the likes of (Lam Adeshina(Oyo state),Adefariti (ondo state),Oshoba (Ogun state),Bisi Akande (osun state) nd omo Adebayo (Ekiti state) but dnt listen to Tinubu until they see themselves unclad (OBJ won all the states for PDP) except Lagos state.

What happened after some years, Tinubu proved his class by recapture south-west via ACN......Obj greatest nightmare..


fought GEJ (present decade).He can never forget the living Legend despite given out millions of Naira to some Paramount rulers in Yoruba land,jagaban set the machinery in motion nd won it for APC.

Jagaban is not only smart nd intelligent but he is a worthy mentor,Legend, Icon nd political genius.

because he took the hard straight road

he could have chosen to become a vassal to the ruling party like so many others [mimiko, peter obi]
he could have chosen to bow to obj's withholding of allocations
he could have insisted on a VP ticket


he did none of these things. at a time when federal might was all encompassing, he boldly stood alone. this is at least 12 years in the making. i have been in lagos since 1999. i can remember some of his gaffes when he became governor. he also met a empty treasury courtsey of buba marwa. he initially embarked on a street renaming spree and the press dissed him for it. gani fawehmini called him out on his degree from university of chicago. but he rose above all those mistakes.

as others have also noted, unlike so many other governors and politicians - he worked in a world class company as a treasurer. so he has a masterful understanding of moving money. not the crude, hand in the till theft our governors are renowned for.

love him or hate him [ he has empowered omoniles etal for political expediency] you cannot take his achievements from him
