Another Igbo adage says "when a king becomes too arrogant, we can wear a basket on our head and speak to him as we want"

And have you stood up against ikpeazu and his likes who are playing ping pong on the masses?

Don't know why every dick and Harry will be accusing ndi Igbo for their self made misfortunes? Edo people rejected Tinubuic imposition, the Igbo are today taking the blame? I wonder...oooo!

Awo is the Yoruba political Godfather and what he did for us is visible even to this current generation.

Akintola betrayed the cause when he allied with the North because they sold him a dummy that they are going to end Godfatherism.

Now ask yourself, what did we achieve from Akintola and what are the legacies that can be attributed to him?

Both Godfatherism or a lack of it still bore down to performance. If you don’t perform then the people will turn their back against you.

Tinubu was able to achieve that status in Lagos because he gave them Fashola who performed above expectation and Tinubu banked on his own former tentacles and utilized Fashola achievement as a better leverage.

Even Buhari 2015 was able to harness the Tinubu/Fashola goodwill because Fashola was the poster boy for APC then in the press.

When Tinubu’s mate are going to Abuja as senator in 2007, he stood back home in Lagos and focused on making Lagos his own universe. If he don’t support performing politicians, then a million Godfather cannot hold the people of Lagos from voting them out.

In as much as Tinubu APC continue to produce performing governors in Lagos, then a trillion PDP cannot depose them.

He was born with politics, grew in politics, schooled in politics, and graduated with politics.

In the recent weeks, we've seen several attacks on the personality of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, mostly by the igbos. One would wondered the reasons behind the attack.
Firstly, Tinubu has never ruled any of their states nor cross the path of their leaders to warrant such attacks. The Igbos have taken up important positions within the Lagos State government circle simply because of this same Tinubu, while some of them have been pushed to the federal level.
This same Tinubu left government in 2007, and since then decided to work on himself and became influential while some of his then colleagues left for the senate while others were looking for federal appointment. He never jostle for any, rather he elevated others instead for those positions. That is what leaders are made of.

You don't become a leader by taking up every positions or opportunity thrown at you, rather you empower others to get there.

"Leaders made men" and that's what Tinubu is.

People have been saying his men are everywhere in government occupying top positions. It was so because he decided to give it out and help others instead of occupying it. This is a man who has never been a federal appointee before and you wondered why Tinubu is influential? Do you think his colleagues are not envious of him and wish to do same? I read in a newspaper page some couple of years back where Gov. Okowa of Delta State celebrated Tinubu on his birthday, a full page space paid by the Delta state govt. Isn't that influence? Tinubu has his men even in the PDP, I mean real men

So why won't people see him as a godfather? They also forget that Tinubu is not just one man. He is simply surrounded by men who he also listen to

Do you know that the Lionel Messi & Cristiano Ronaldo of Nigeria politics today is Tinubu?

The PDP will rather let go of Obaseki or Wike if Tinubu decides to join them today, and that's the bitter truth!

Many people shouting down at him will do worse if they are to be in his position.

Finally, I have noticed that the attack on Tinubu from mostly the Igbos is because of 2023. They know the man is the major stumbling block for them if they are to win the presidential contest, hence the need to whittle down his power and influence. They simply can't point to a man who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him, hence the beef and noise everywhere.

They shout the Yorubas are slaves to Tinubu, yet they have some useless godfathers in their region who failed to help them develop their states, yet they never bother to dethrone them, but Tinubu is their major problem. The leave their region in droves so as to seek greener pastures in a state controlled by this same man they love to hate while theirs in a sorry state.

When are they going to stand up to their godfathers who are starving their states and milking their region dry at the detriment of the people?

They claim they don't worship men, they are liberal, yet one certain Kanu came from nowhere whose achievement in the corporate world cannot match that of Tinubu even before he joined politics in any way, he played on their intelligence, extort them and run away. The man assumed the position of a god to them during his short stay here, though many of them still worship him today.

Godfathers are everywhere. Even in your locality. In Nigeria politics, when one godfather is dethrone, another emerges. Mr Ibori is still there controlling Delta politics. Wike is simply going to be one, the list goes on and on.

If as a Yoruba man, you're still thinking that the reason behind the attack on Tinubu is because of godfatherism, you're making a mistake, IT IS SIMPLY BECAUSE OF 2023.

Let me tell you a secret.

You can’t be pro-Yoruba and hate Tinubu or APC.

Why do you think our fathers established AD as their sole party then?

Even they are not as perfect but APC is like the continuation of AD and can be the one closest to Action Group.

I haven’t even seen how a party card or meeting look like let alone being in any party for that matter.

So don’t think I’m APC member but ideologically as a pro-Yoruba that I am, APC still presents us a better option than PDP on average if you look at the kind of governors both parties produced for us since 1999 up to present in the six SW states.

I know you’re that guy from Osun that always curse around. Thank God you don’t curse me this time around!

There are six states in the SW and I’m sure you’re conversant with the politics of the west since 1999.

Looking at the Corp of governors both party produced, which party can boast of the best governors in the SW on aggregate among the two parties since 1999? Please speak with truth.

Lastly, on this forum I haven’t seen you defending any Yoruba honor or even speaking when you should speak up for the Yorubas. So I don’t think you can be more pro-Yoruba than I do judging by this forum let alone what we are doing outside this forum.

Your only contribution on Nairaland is to curse your fellow Yorubas because they have different ideology from you. You’ve been cursing people as far back as 2018 or so without any contribution to knowledge.

Abeg speak for yourself, which of your father form AD? The party was formed like any other partties... And still date AD is still alive... So APC is different from APC... APC is combination of different parties.

AD is just alive on paper because most of its adherents are now scattered in AC which metamorphosed to ACN/APC.

When I’m taking about APC, I am not talking about the federal here. My talks are based on the SW so don’t get me wrong.

Even a 5year old child knows APC is a combination of different parties in the Federal scenes.

Tinubu could have stayed out of the Edo election...

No be everything person dey put mouth on

simple. He should've stayed out of it. He was just shown in Edo that he has no pull outside the south west states. Next is to invade south west and also show him he has no hold there too until finally, Lagos will also be taken from him. We must release afonjas from tinubu.

u are claiming he's an APC man n it's crystal clear u are a PDP man too.
so u are from opposite ends n I see both parties to b d same,so it's like kettle calling pot black.


But mind u those people who want to bring down Tinubu have leaders who are far worse than Tinubu but they ain't saying anything about them,all they want to do is decimate your own thief n praise their own thief.

if not how can a tribe which has Orji Uzor kalu a known thief b silent about his escapades n want him to b president but they want our own thief to b rubbished,bro is that not hypocrisy?

Orji Uzor kalu for president but Tinubu b rubbished,the day I will start taking Igbos stance against corruption serious is the day they start castigating Kalu d same way they castigate Tinubu.

u create a million thread about Tinubu another man's thief but u are silent about your own thief.

Like it told you, this is a comparative analysis between the SW states that have been ruled by both parties and I ain’t talking about the federal scenes here because politics is local.

Let’s take Oyo state.
During the days of Baba Adedibu and his hold on PDP, what did we actually gained? Ibadan is the home of thugs then with all those NURTW wreaking havocs and with no meaningful development other than to share money.

When Ajimobi came, there is difference and you won’t even compare him to the days of the PDP when talking about infrastructure and development. What about Amosun of Ogun state compared to Gbenga Daniels? Or should we go to Ekiti and compare Fayemi to Fayose that have soiled the state name with stomach infrastructure nonsense that is insulting the good name of Ekiti people. If you’re being truthful you’ll see what I’m saying.

You know the sustainability index rating is relative and it has to do with the fact that the SW governors are spending too much on their recurrent expenditure which calls for concern. It’s not only about loan servicing alone but it’s about our over bloated civil service and need attention.

Take Ogun for example, that state, Lagos, and Abuja are the only states that generate more IGR than what they receive from the Federal allocation among the 36 states. Sustainability index can change tomorrow coz it’s not a true measure of scenario. BudgIT are just using that as their own terms to put government on their toes.

Below is 2018 sustainability index from the same BudgIT, can you see that the 3 SW states are among the top ten? Ogun, Ondo, And Lagos.

Source: https://yourbudgit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/State-of-State-2018-Final-Print-Copy.pdf

2021 now you can see those states changing position because the rating changes fast so you shouldn’t be drunk on the rating.

Bros, You can't say AD is alive on paper, AD idologies are quite different from the APC agenda, ACN was formed out of political selfishness.
AD adopted Pa Awolowo's idealogy to provide conducive life in all sectors. That was what Jakande followed by building series of Low cost housing estate across Lagos within 3 yrs, not pple who built house for masses and ask u to pay N15m...so Bros... ACN nor APC or PDP has the same idologies with AD

Well you have your own point of view although most of the SW governors also built low cost housing estates and they can argue along that line.

AC was formed because the AD elders are sleeping and there is a need for modification to make the movement survive especially when OBJ swept the SW states and inturn win over some of those AD guys. There need to be a resistance and that was how ACN had to form and normally you won’t expect AD to still be whole.

The split started during the days of Senator Moji Akinfenwa and Baba Akande period that time in 2006 or so which led to the formation of AC while Moji Akinfenwa retained AD as the name.

Now AC/ACN/APC SW is at least now pulling the Yorubas somehow systematically from our long history of opposition politics and trying to give us a leverage in the center.

If the Baba Akande faction had not done anything then, OBJ would have killed AD patapata and by now we will just be nobody in PDP because we are numerically at a disadvantage in the south when you talk about PDP.

Even at that, maybe I’m being biased but I am very sure AC/ACN/APC caucus produce better governors in the SW than their PDP counterpart on average.
