When did Tinubu became an Oracle...? So Buhari needs to consult him first, before appointing his cabinet?
Na craze una dey craze for heads!

undecidedYoruba:
The way Lagosians are going about this Tinubu issue, it appears heaven will fall any day EFCC or DSS invites him for questioning

Yes oh.
Heavens will fal.
Even paapa, stars will fall plus the moon gan.
Was that not how the heavens fell when he was tried by CCT in 2011

The JagaBandit became an oracle in Yoruba land the day he cursed, abused and insulted Awo without any repercussion from our people!

Babasessy:
Awo Family Without An Awo By Sam Omatseye (The Offensive Article)



https://rarerborealis.com/wordpressblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/ns_9095.jpg



The Awolowo rebirth in the Southwest has inspired gongs, songs and rhetoric of sorts. But they have missed one point.

It occurred to me in Abeokuta last week amidst the big crowds and euphoria of the swearing-in of Senator Ibikunle Amosun as governor. In all the states from Lagos to Edo, where Awo has witnessed ideological resurgence, hardly a single family member has played a role.

So we have an Awo family without an Awo. That is an irony. But history overwhelms us with this sort of twist. Obafemi Awolowo toiled for his reputation. His roots were lowly, he toiled to school both home and abroad, launched into careers in law, business, journalism and eventually politics. He carved a niche for himself, and became the first methodical and charismatic leftist in our history.  Other leftists abounded but they did not inspire comparable drama and following.

He faced tribulations, went to jail, failed in elections, won a few, but he imprinted his ideas and legacy in the country, and no single mortal has beaten him in the history of this country. His greatest achievement was in the area of ideas, and that was how he fashioned a family. Most families are born of biology but his issued from ideology. That family suffered with him.

In a spoof of Jesus Christ, these were the men who followed him in his teachings, and endured with him in his temptations. So he formed a kingdom for them in the Southwest, in the old Western Region, presiding over his projects, his legacies and people.

In all of these, the family he had was not his flesh and blood. In another spoof of Christ, who were his family anyway? Those who were with him must be counted as his family. So, I combed in the ambience of Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), and I found none. I went to Ogun, I frisked the crowd under Amosun’s bower, hardly any. Around Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola in Osun, I could not lay a finger. With Governor Kayode Fayemi in Ekiti, where are the forbears of Awo? Yet, I can hear the chants of Awo. Hardly in any of the inaugural speeches or any of their other public intervention would you miss the philtre and filter of Awo from these gentlemen. To parody Novelist Joseph Conrad, they are the sparks from Awo’s sacred fire, the messengers of the might within the man.

Already all of them are pursuing the legacy ideas of Awo: free education, free health services, infrastructural development, urban renewal and economic engineering.

Lagos has posted itself as the John the Baptist. The others are putting up valiant efforts, and the world of course is watching to see how well they will perform. It will call for great work, resourcefulness and cooperation. They are the real Awoists, and Awo was a man of rigour and vigour.

The Awo son that many expected to take after the father was Olusegun, who unfortunately died in a car crash. We shall never know if he could have pulled it off.  But the others have not shown much of the paterfamilias’ brio and depth. In the past decade, under this republic, they have blended with the wrong crowd. Even H.I.D, hobnobbed with Alao-Akala, who brought illiteracy to governance; with Oyinlola who turned the grace of office into a hell-hole of despots; with Daniel who could not arrest his quick fall into megalomania.

I wrote once that this woman whom Awo once described as the jewel of inestimable value has lost value to his cause. If he came back to life, he would have committed the extraordinary act of divorce after death. Even his newspaper, The Tribune, has so stumbled and fallen that it swims in Awo’s vomit.

Groucho Max, one of the funniest satirists in American history, said of a man that he got his looks from his father. Then he quipped, “He was a plastic surgeon.” That means the son is not his real son, or he did not inherit his natural looks. Ideologically, when we talk of Awo’s family, the chief inheritor is Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as the leader of all the others. He was the one who stuck his neck out. He could have lost his life or ended his career in politics. The so-called real Awolowos who bear his surname cannot come up for mention. They are Awolowos but not Awoists. They stabbed their father in the back. They have committed ideological parricide.

The only person that made a real try was Awolowo-Dosunmu in the early 1990s and she lost roundly. She was accused of trying to ride her father’s coattail. Political families are good for democracies. They can exemplify the high ideals of diligence, dignity, ideas, character. We have seen these in such families as the Kennedys, the Adamses, the Roosevelts, the Ghandis. They just don’t claim family. They appeal to the high ideals that endeared the families to their societies.

It’s also an irony that these families are falling into twilight. Some of them have vanished. Enoch Powell, a British MP, once gave us the famous line: “All political lives, unless they are cut off midstream at a happy juncture, end in failure because that is the nature of politics and human affairs.”

Columnist Ambassador Dapo Fafowora adverted to this idea in a recent outing, and I debated it with him afterwards. I don’t believe that a political life should be judged by how it ends but what it means. The quote is often missed by many who mistake “careers” for “lives.” A political life should be judged by its legacies. If we judged Awo by how he ended, we would look at him only as the loser to Shagari. That is why I see an intrinsic mischief in Enoch’s quote. But I would agree that political families end also in failure if you judge how they peter out and not the legacy.

Awo’s legacy is alive and well. Members of other families in flesh and blood can carry on. Immediate families tend to suffer from what an author, Noemie Emery, describes as dynastic curse. The children tend to be intimidated by the standards set by the fathers. So they just don’t want to try. They feel they cannot match them or come even close.  The problem probably comes from the fathers themselves. The Adams, who produced important presidents, later gave birth to moral vagrants and drunks. The Bush daughters showed themselves as party girls when their father was contesting the political battle of his life.

But Joe Kennedy groomed his sons assiduously, and they excelled in politics. They also had a fair share of tragedies. Ted Kennedy regained his sobriety and voice in America after a season of debauchery. In Nigeria, we are seeing the Sarakis fade. A Saraki – Bukola - is wiping out the Sarakis from politics. It is a classic case of oedipal tragedy, something I predicted earlier this year on this page.

It is not late though for the flesh-and-blood Awolowos to join their father’s fold. But they must be genuine. Awo was the most important Yoruba personage in history after Oduduwa. They had stellar men like Oranmiyan, Balogun Latosa, Lisabi, Sodeke, et al. None of them had the unifying vision and organisational acumen that Awolowo gave the race. The wife, children and grandchildren should not watch others glow in his jewel without them.

DickDastardly:
Buhari is not GEJ.
He will only rig and set the armed forces loose to deal with desent
Your calculation is for chickens like GEJ. BUHARI TILL 2023!

Sai Baba

if yoruba rigged their south west,we rigged our south south and south east rigged their south east will Buhari be able to rig out ATIKU from north.


Dont be deceived he cant rigged the presidential election without support of associate from any region.





GEJ lost is not because he cant rigged election it was a combine force and there is nothing he could do.if buhari draw blood with tinubu and tinubu realigned with another force from up north that is the end of the already most hates president ever career.

I tired ooo.....when buhari is not Ambode that dey cotrol anyhow in lagos

cowardSeun:
Please Yorubas should be told that Buhari owes them no any apologies.


What nonsense

When they call those yoruba folks Rascals, they feel insulted.

mudiana:
If this is true then them don dey mad! Na Tinubu own Nigeria?

Why should Tinubu not think that he owns the entire Nigeria when he single handedly made the errand boy who carries his phone to become the Vacant pastor (VP) Osunbande while holding space until he, Tinubu is ready to occupy the position

i have come to be understand that we do not learn anything in history because things keep on repeating itself.

politics is good when you play the game on people, but very bitter when the game is played on you.

Let Mr Tinubu tell us how it sweets him as they are dealing with him.

NOW I UNDERSTAND AND BELIEVE WHAT MY PRIEST FRIEND TOLD ME WHEN APC WERE CAMPAIGNING FOR THEIR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. he told me that APC IS A GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT CAME TOGETHER FOR ONE PURPOSE, BUT WITHOUT THE PLANS OF STAYING TOGETHER.
do let us see how it ends.

John Dalberg-Acton had said it all
" Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority"

“Divided, or rather multiplied, authorities are the foundation of good government.”
Although power has to shift sometimes.

I tired ooo....when Buhari is not Ambode that they control anyhow In Lagos

skaymani:
I tired ooo.....when buhari is not Ambode that dey cotrol anyhow in lagos

Lef matter for Mathias, bro.
Ogbeni Ojuyobo has the remote control for the Social Prefect in Alausa House.

I prefer Buhari to Tinubu anyday anytime

flokii:
the fact that he came all the way down to Lagos for Tinubu's support makes ur assertion valid.

he got what GEJ's millions couldn't buy on a platter of gold... Buhari shld not bite the hand that fed him, simple..

And for those political prostitutes wishing jail for Tinubu.. I can authoritatively tell you guys that ur beloved GEJ and mama piss will enter jail bfor him. #fact

Who ever has to go to jail shud go to jail.

Sealeddeal:
Tinubu is not the supreme leader of Nigeria. He has nothing to add to Buhari presidency. People should stop hyping his clout as it doesn't go beyond Lagos and Osun. If he bring fight to himself, Nigeria will destroy him.

don't mnd dem jare....... e go do m lyk film if he thinks dt e can fight d govt. abeg,tinubu na god ni or wetin

The man has said it again and again that he belongs to no one, he belongs to everybody.
If Tinubu thinks Buhari belongs to him, he must be smoking something very dangerous to his health.
I'm sure Buhari made that statement because of the likes of Tinubu who will want to cut as much as possible for themselves - appointments, contracts, etc.

Like someone said, Tinubu is only popular in Lagos - I doubt his popularity in Osun as many people there see him as someone who wants to hijack the resources of the state for himself and his boys in Lagos.

The earlier he realizes this the better for him.

APC has a chance in Ondo this time around because it is obvious the candidate of APC is not Tinubu's boy. If a known Tinubu boy has been selected, there would have been no hope of APC wining the election.

Abeg make dem nor go kee poor Buhari o.

Attack na from all angles now o.
Ol' boy. Shebi dem see wetin GEJ endured with a smile for 5 years.
God delivered that GEJ from evil-minded people o.

I was hugely relieved the day the man left Aso Rock with his family.

That Aso Rock wey if the wife no die, husband go die in power.
Hmmmm.

Bola Tinubu has been used as an asswipes. Hahhhahaha Afonjas should wait till buhari finish with him. If Tinubu makes one statement he will be invited by EFCC.

A dictator will always be a dictator.

Tinubu is just a tout used by Funlanis to achieve their criminal goal
Even wit that his frog eyes
Yet he could not see far.....

Is Tinubu now Nigerian shrine that has to be consulted for things to be done ? Anyways he actually looks like one

Sometime ago, I think it was either Sanusi or El Ruffai that called the senate, "a congregation of fools". Today, I wonder what he will say. Can anyone imagine how these people waste Lagos state money to talk nonsense ?

Which Nigerian actor be this Tinubu guy sef, na Kannywood, Nollywood abi Irokowood e de?

Rubbish. We told them before na. Don't side with aboki. No them no gree..... I no blame you too much sha. Our 'brothers' on the south of Niger self no loyal

vodutive:
I am a yoruba, I didn't vote in the presidential elections because I wanted GEJ out and while I liked Buhari, I didn't trust those around him, Tinubu in particular and I still don't trust him and I'm not going to go out and vote for a candidate I don't believe in. If tommorow Buhari is campaigning for election against Tinubu, I will vote for Buhari because Buhari is a sincere man and Tinubu is a crook and while not all will, I have no doubt many Yorubas will vote with Buhari. Tinubu is not as popular with Yorubas as some people think he is.


on the issue of good leaders, personally I would like to see Peter Obi as president or VP. He is no Zik or Awo but he is probably the closest I've seen to a politician who gets the problem with our country and you can tell is a simple sincere man.

I tell you, imagine what a Peter Obi/Donald Duke President and VP combination would do to this country!

To hell with Jagabastard....useless ruler with a lot of slaves....#ORIOYA

DINO MALEYA OF KOGI STATE FINISHED YOUR POLITICAL CAREER MR TINUBU....MORE TROUBLE IS COMING YOUR WAY

PassingShot:
Those of us in support of the "dictator" are more than you losers wailing day and night.

We love PMB. Deal with it!

And you have the fewest likes? Ok oh.

Stop telling LIES please.
Haba!!!

Some here may not understand the import of these results. It shows that after the collapse of ACN/CPC talks, Jonathan was able to secure a guarantee from Tinubu and the other ACN leaders to soft pedal in the South West for him to have a foothold in the region, hence the bright showing of PDP in the West. On the other hand, Ribadu and Shekarau agreed to support one of their own - Buhari, hence the resurgence of CPC all over the Northern States.

These things could not be announced openly due to the closeness of the agreement to the election date, but the messages were relayed to party leaders at ward levels and also to party agents, hence the incident of ACN agents voting for PDP.

The fact that this election throws up is that South - South coalition can defeat the Northern oligarchy in free and fair elections - that is, if Jonathan wins. The great sage, Awo foresaw this possibility in his lifetime which explains his oft recourse to selecting Igbo Vice Presidential candidates, but the propaganda machines of the oligarchy prevented a south-south coalition to see the light of the day. Today, Awo is being vindicated, the south can actually win the presidency of Nigeria without bowing to the shenanigans of the oligarchy.

undecidedYoruba:
These people are just not serious and simply deluded.

So because Tinubu helped Buhari get elected, Tinubu must be consulted and pleaded with before appointments of national interests are made

How petty can our conquered brothers get

I have completed your likes 200. Kindly send me $200.

See these modda fucass! Who is Tinubu? Buhari's father or God? To hell with Tinunu and the so called corrupt Lagos house of assembly

Tinubu is a power broker, so either presidency of Buhari respect him or not, he'll still relevant in post Buhari's regime, posterity will judge.
