What was Tinubu's occupation before he became a Senator in 1993? Business Man or Farmer?

i dont know
but what i know is that he has no bullion van money then

the word "business man" is used to cover so many atrocities

bigfish3k:
no banters with u on that, u are not the one feeding me
so why are u asking diezani to come and explain how she made her money if thiefnubullion van cant be asked his

You have the wrong person buddy, I am a free thinker, I have no problems whatsoever with Sister Deziani, she only did what any one in her position as petroleum Minister would have done, loot by default.

plaindealer:
Unfortunately for you, Tinubu has more power and influence than all the people you listed combined.

How hard is it for a powerful man like Tinubu to own and operate any business in Nigeria?

If ordinary Nigerians can walk into any bank into any bank to source business loan to start or buy any business, do you think a powerful and influential man like Tinubu can not?

Why do you people think Tinubu is on the same broke and poor level like you?

^^^
Classic case of friendly fire between you and the fellow you quoted.

I am not a very religious man but I can't help but remember scripture that talks about confusion in the camp of the enemy...

AtikuNetwork:
I am an unapologetic Atiku supporter but I find it strange when some people speak as if Tinubu is suppose to becoming poor or his wealth should be less because he was once a governor. That is absolutely nonsense. He has been out of office since 2007, are his detractors suggesting that he should suddenly become poor as an ex-governor or not do business and prosper out of office?? Some people should receive brain.

Nobody says DAT.... The financial law does not allow for an individual to hold above a certain amount in cash or to have a bullion van running his deliveries for what we all know is payment for vote buying...

Of course more than 90% of the people so called business men that had money then in 1993, the mko's, ibrus, kolokos, folawiyos, rewanes are all late, the young shall grow.

Jagaban is our mentor, but having more power and influence than Otedola, Dangote, and Michael Adenuga combined, my hands are shaking, you must be economically and politically insane?

The people you listed go to Asiwaju for clearance and influence in Nigeria, even Dangote was able to site his $15 billion refinery in Lagos because of Tinubu, Eko Atlantic is in Lagos because of Tinuubu.

Why do you think diplomats and world leaders travel all the way to Bourdillon to pay homage to Asiwaju, a non government official.

Don't get fooled with other people's money, money is not everything in Nigeria.

The jet is owned and operated by a private company in Dubai, many of the big boys you see claiming they own private jets in Nigeria are lying, they all rent and borrow private jets.

Stop beating your chest with rumors, gossips and lies, always do your own research.

plaindealer:
I don;t know, but feel free to educate me.

You obviously know more than me so please educate me by showing us the crime he was charged with, his appearance in any court in the US, how he was convicted for any wrong doing.

Do that please.

^^^
I don't know what happened either. I have heard 'things' but i wanted to hear from you - since you seem to know so much about the man.

Is it true he forfeited some money to the US government some years ago? Surely you must have heard this story. And you probably got to the bottom of it like any true loyalist would, right? So is the story true or false?

And please don't leave me hanging like you did on the other thread. I asked you some questions about transparency in LASG business and you left the thread - and never came back.

I'll be waiting...

If Tinubu and Rochas were already rich before veering into politics, I guess diezani too was also rich then no need of going after them na. So ICPC and EFFC should be shut down.

Most private Jets are not bought outright, they are financed mostly by banks in the United States, so you will never see the real owner's name on it. Poor man stop involving yourself in rich people's business.

I don't know about forfeiture, I asserted that he was never charge with any drug crime, he was never convicted for any crime and he was never charged with any wrong doing or arraigned in any court of law.

If you have any objection to the above comment, please show your facts.

Ok.

According to you, he was never charged, arraigned or convicted for any crime. Fair enough.

And you are also saying on record that you know absolutely nothing about asset forfeiture concerning him, right?

OK.

AtikuNetwork:
You must have a serious comprehension problem Mr. man. If you have problem with Tinubu bullion van go and open a separate topic about that. I am only saying my feelings about what Sagay said and he didn't mentioned any bullion van. And I can't forget about Atiku because some misguided people like you also try to question Turaki's source of wealth since leaving customs service and serving as VP many years ago, as if such men are supposed to become broke or less wealthy after leaving government. If you don't know, Tinubu and Atiku are long time business associates with stakes in Intels. Instead of worrying about how others made their wealth, double your hustle and go and make your own money Mr. Man.

Perfect response

I yield the floor to those with the evidence to come forward. It may take a while but we know it exists.

The clock starts now...

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu Full Biography, Life, And Career.

Sen (Asiwaju) Bola Ahmed Tinubu
(Former Governor of Lagos State and National Leader of APC)
FULL NAME: Bola Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu

DATE OF BIRTH: 29 March 1952 (age 65)

OCCUPATION: Accountant, Politician

MARITAL STATUS: Married

INTRODUCTION

Bola Ahmed Tinubu was elected Senator for the Lagos West constituency in Lagos State, Nigeria in 1993, he also was elected governor of Lagos State (1999 – 2007). He is said to be among Nigeria’s most successful politicians ever. He is currently the national leader of the ruling party in Nigeria, All Progressive Congress (APC).

EARLY LIFE AND BACKGROUND

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was born in Lagos, Nigeria to the illustrious Tinubu Family of Lagos State. He attended Richard Daley College, Chicago Illinois, where he earned himself a place in the honors list of the College. He subsequently proceeded to the Chicago State University, Illinois where he obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration (Accounting and Management).
During his undergraduate years, he was honored with the Outstanding Student’s Award, The University Scholar’s Award and the Certificate of Merit in Accounting and Finance.

On his arrival in the U.S. in 1975 and with the support of an ever-adoring mother, this courageous youth, faced with an unflinching zeal to succeed, took on such menial jobs as dishwashing, night-guard and cab-driving to see himself through the initial difficulties of school at the Richard Daley College, Chicago, Illinois.

The brilliance of this young Nigerian showed in his ability to make the honours’ list of Richard Daley College. He subsequently transferred to the Chicago State University, Illinois, graduating with honours in 1979 and earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration (Accounting and Management). During his first year in Chicago State University, young Bola was given the rare privilege to partly teach other students of his Faculty remedial tutorial classes. Most of his colleagues and contemporaries at the university attributed their improved grades to his tutorial lectures.

Throughout his undergraduate years, young Bola was on the Dean’s List and was honoured with the Outstanding Student’s Award, the University Scholar’s Award and the Certificate of Merit in Accounting and Finance. He was also awarded the prestigious Sumna cum laude for scoring 3.54 out of possible 4.0 GP.

With his successful academic profile, young Bola contested and won his first political election as the President of the Accounting Society of the institution in his final year at the University.

Upon graduation with honours and several awards, Bola Tinubu cut his professional teeth at the American-based Arthur Anderson, Deloitte Haskins and Sells (now called Deloitte Haskins and Touche) and GTE Service Corporation – the largest Communication and Utility Company in the United States of America.

Meanwhile, at Deloitte Haskins and Sells, the young and professional Bola broadened his experience by participating in the auditing and management consultancy services of General Motors, First National Bank of Chicago, Procter and Gamble, International Harvester, GEC and other Fortune 500 firms.

CAREER AND LIFE

On his return to Nigeria and with his international experience in Financial Management, young Bola joined Mobil Producing Nigeria as a Senior Auditor before he retired as the company’s Treasurer.

As pragmatic, charitable, grassroots’ person, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu saw communal service as a veritable tool for social development. He never hesitated to serve his community spearheading several financial contributions and fund-raising for community development programmes in Lagos State. He leads Primrose Group, a political action organization pushing for fundamental changes in the politics of Lagos State.

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu opted fully for public service in exchange for his lucrative job at Mobil. His first foray into active politics was as a founding member of the defunct Social Democratic Party (SDP). In 1992, he was elected as an Honourable Senator of the Federal Republic Nigeria to represent Lagos West Senatorial District. At the National Assembly, he distinguished himself as the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking, Finance, Appropriation and Currency – a foremost committee of the Senate.

With the annulment of the June 12, 1993 Nigerian Presidential Election and the consequent fresh militarization of the Nigerian politics, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu became a founding member of the famous pro-democracy group, the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO) which, for several years, engaged the military for the very soul of Nigeria. Subsequently, Bola Tinubu suffered many arrests and detention, harassments and constant threats to his life forcing him to flee Nigeria for his personal safety. He, however, did not give up the struggle as he joined NADECO abroad to continue the agitation for a restoration of democratic governance and the rule in the country.
In 1998, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu returned to Nigeria to heed a call for all Nigerians to join in the National Reconciliation and Development. A year later, he began his two-term public service as an elected Executive Governor of Lagos State on the platform of the Alliance for Democracy (AD).

For his excellent performance as the Executive Governor of Lagos State of Nigeria (1999 – 2007), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu received several awards. These include Best Governor in Nigeria for Y2000 by the Nigerian-Belgian Chamber of Commerce; Y2002 Best Practices Prize in improving the living environment, awarded by the Federal Ministry of Works and the UN Habitat Group; Y2000 Best Computerized Government in Nigeria Award by the Computer Association of Nigeria. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was conferred with the Honorary Doctor of Law Degree by the Abia State University in recognition of his immense contribution to democracy, good governance and development of Nigeria. He is the proud recipient of numerous other chieftaincy titles and a patron of many professional and social organizations.

As an astute political strategist, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu survived the massive incursion of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the South Western States of Nigeria as the lone re-elected Governor of the Alliance for Democracy (AD). This led him on a regular collision course with the PDP-controlled Federal Government, especially on his creation of additional 37 Local Council Development Areas for Lagos States. A Supreme Court judgment in his favour stated that the Mr. Olusegun Obasanjo’s Federal Government should release the seized statutory allocation of the Lagos State Local Government funds.

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was actively involved in the creation of the Action Congress (AC) political party as recourse to the decimated Alliance for Democracy (AD). Rallying like minds across the country, he sold sound ideals and programmes on this fresh and new political platform. Within a few months, he transformed this new party as the credible opposition to the PDP in the country.

His political career began in 1992, when he was elected to the Nigerian Senate representing the Lagos West constituency in the short-lived Nigerian Third Republic. After the results of the 12 June 1993 presidential elections were annulled, Tinubu became a founding member of the pro-democracy National Democratic Coalition (NADECO), which mobilized support for the restoration of democracy and recognition of the 12 June results. He went into exile in 1994 and returned to the country in 1998 after the death of military dictator Sani Abacha, which ushered in a transition to civilian rule.

In the run-up to the 1999 elections, Bola Tinubu was a protégé of Alliance for Democracy (AD) leaders Abraham Adesanya and Ayo Adebanjo. He won the AD primaries for the Lagos State gubernatorial elections in competition with Funsho Williams and Wahab Dosunmu, a former Minister of Works and Housing. In April 1999, he stood for the position of Executive Governor of Lagos State on the AD ticket and was elected.
Lagos State governor

When he assumed office in May 1999, Bola Ahmed Tinubu promised 10,000 housing units for the poor. During his eight-year period of office, he made large investments in education in the state. He also initiated new road construction, required to meet the needs of the fast-growing population of the state.

The Oloye Tinubu, alongside a new deputy governor, Femi Pedro, won re-election to office as Governor in April 2003. All other states in the South West fell to the People’s Democratic Party.

He was involved in a struggle with the Federal government over whether Lagos State had the right to create new Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) to meet the needs of its large population.

The controversy led to the Federal government seizing funds meant for local councils in the state. During the later part of his term in office, he was engaged in continuous clashes with PDP powers such as Adeseye Ogunlewe, a former Lagos State senator who became minister of works, and Bode George, southwest chairman of the PDP.
Relations between Bola Tinubu and deputy governor Femi Pedro became increasingly tense after Pedro declared his intention to run for the gubernatorial elections. Femi Pedro competed to become the AC candidate for governor in the 2007 elections, but withdrew his name on the eve of the party nomination. He defected to the Labour Party while still keeping his position as deputy governor. Tinubu’s tenure as Lagos State Governor ended on 29 May 2007 when Babatunde Fashola of the Action Congress took office. Fashola had been Chief of Staff to Bola Tinubu.

Today, the great legacy of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is built on by his successor, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), who served as his Chief of Staff. Continuation of Tinubu’s outstanding policies makes the present administration of Lagos State an exceptional and the foremost Government in Nigeria.
The Jagaban Borgu still marches on in the political landscape of the country, with a resolve to take on any challenging task with positive public to reduce poverty among his people.

Following the victory by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the April 2007 elections, Bola Tinubu was active in negotiations to bring together the fragmented opposition parties into a “mega-party” capable of challenging the PDP in 2011. In July 2009, he called for implementation of electoral reforms spelled out in the Uwais report to ensure that the 2011 elections would be as free and fair as the elections of 1993 had been. In December 2009 there were reports that Babatunde Fashola and Bola Tinubu had fallen out over the issue of whether Fashola should run for reelection in 2011, with Tinubu said to be supporting the Commissioner for Environment, Muiz Banire.
Tinubu formed a new party alongside Muhammadu Buhari a party which was named All Progressive congress (APC). The goal was to build a stronger party to get rid of the ruling party PDP.
In 2015 Tinubu’s target became a success as APC won the presidential elections and most of the polls across the country.
Tinubu is married to Oluremi Tinubu, the current Senator of central Lagos State. His youngest daughter, Abibat Tinubu, graduated from a Music college in Boston.
