True, love him or hate him, you’ve got to admit PBAT is ticking off those manifesto boxes one by one like a man on a mission.

From living a flashy life to facing jail , what a big fall. Thank God for the wise Yoruba people who believe in hard work and honesty, not quick money through crime.

Such a heartbreaking story,poor Faith didn’t deserve that at all. With Tinubu in charge, I’m confident stronger security measures will be enforced to better protect lives like hers.

Giftimoni:
look, don’t allow people to deceive you. People who are preaching that they care for you, they don’t care for you, they don’t think about you. They only try to use you to climb”.

Truer words have never been spoken.......

Ebubu:
They are State lecturers not federal University lecturers so it is beyond the hand of Tinubu. Governor of Kaduna has to handle it within and raise their income.

True, it's on the state, but with Tinubu setting the tone nationally hopefully governors like kaduna’s will follow his lead and prioritize real change too

Honestly,Tinubu made the right call. A state of emergency was needed to keep the peace and prevent things from spiraling out of control, sometimes tough decisions are the only way forward.

Haha, funny how those numbers look huge, but if you dig deeper, you’ll realize most “members” are actually just folks with multiple monikers. A lot of people have 4-5 accounts each, so the actual active members are way less than the 3.2 million they’re touting.

simonlee:
Will reach?...
When?
After refusing to implement the appropriate salary structure for 15years, leaving them suffering with this high inflation?

I get your frustration, but the truth is, real change takes time, and while the past is frustrating, we can't dismiss the potential of a new direction that Tinubu has brought, what’s important is pushing for accountability and not letting it slip through the cracks again.

This is really heartbreaking, lecturers earning less than corps members they trained? Thankfully, with president Tinubu’s renewed hope agenda, we’re sure real reforms in education and welfare will reach states like Kaduna soon.

Psiyohos:
No activated charcoal is mostly sold in pharmacy either in tin or caplet forms. it's just a neater, more fine, and better treated version of the local one used for those with food poisoning or drug overdose.

okay. Thanks baba! 💪

Peter Obi’s lies have been exposed, Big praise to the Lagos State Government for speaking up and starting an investigation to show the real truth.

This is really good news, well done to Gov Nwifuru for helping farmers and bringing rice prices down! Big thanks to president Tinubu too for supporting agriculture in Nigeria.

Some of the high costs for renovations may not be because of waste, but because inflation is making everything more expensive. It’s good that President Tinubu is working to control spending, and states should follow his lead by putting more money into health and education.

It’s really sad to see farmers lose their crops like this even though we know the army is doing a tough job to keep the country safe. We thank president Tinubu and the Nigerian Army for their efforts but we hope innocent people won’t suffer in the process.

It’s funny they thought going to Hajj would make them safe , DSS caught them quick! Thanks to president Tinubu, security is really working better now.

This whole thing is really surprising, how can someone stay in prison for two weeks just because of an old video that many people have seen before? Thank God for president Tinubu, because things are more open now, and we hope the court gives Dr. Ahmad bail today.

The way the naira keeps going up and down shows what many countries are facing right now.

Around the world, money is losing value in some places because of things like high prices, wars, and changes in interest rates.

It’s not just Nigeria, many countries are finding it hard to keep their money strong these days.

Nice job to Tinubu’s government, one by one, these bad guys like Mai Jakka are being removed!

Psiyohos:
Sachet Ash

the importance of ash as a cleanse in the health of man can't be over emphasized, like activated charcoal ash could be sold in either in sachet form or caplet.
It is important to consume ash at least once a month, There's a business in selling the final end of the wood.

Nice one chief.

Just a quick one, the charcoal we buy in Lagos those ones they tie in black nylon, are those the ones you refer to as activated charcoal?

LegendHero:
He knows this but yet come online to lie just to paint the government bad.

Sanwoolu is too gentle. He should be suing Obi to court tomorrow for defamation.

This is what people like Obi do, they use every tragedy to promote their political ambitions, lie as the victim so people can pity him.

Let’s be honest, Obi knew the real story but still chose to twist it, classic move to stir emotions and score cheap political points.

Peter Obi got it wrong, his brother’s house was removed because of a court case, not because of politics.

Amitex:
Wait a minute, how can one man con 200 million people? How is it possible that Tinubu as a president cannot point to one man or woman who was his school mate in primary, secondary or university?
How is it possible that none of his school mates is proud to come out? I imagine if my classmate is the president, I will proudly tell people about it.
Who is Tinubu? He could not have fallen from the sky? Who was his father, mother because we all know the woman he claims as mother was not his biological mother.

Why are our people so docile that an unknown entity is ruling us? He said his primacy school was in Ibadan, it turned out to be false. He said he attended Government Colege 2 years before the school came into existence. The latest is the Belarushian rogue of a "school mate", who graduated at 13.

Who is Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a con artist
Please, Yoruba Elders should come and help us unravel this mystery.

## **Who Is Bola Ahmed Tinubu? Debunking the Myths, Defending the Man**

There’s been a lot of noise, questions, and outright speculation about who President Bola Ahmed Tinubu really is. In a time where social media misinformation and political bias often override facts, it's important to separate truth from propaganda. While some may choose to question his background, many others recognize the depth of his contributions to Nigeria — particularly in governance, infrastructure, and political strategy.

Let’s answer the critical questions that often surface — not with conspiracy, but with context, logic, and perspective.

---

### 1. **Who is Bola Ahmed Tinubu?**

Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the 16th President of Nigeria and one of the most influential political figures in modern Nigerian history. Long before becoming president, Tinubu was a successful accountant, senator (1992-93), and the governor of Lagos State from 1999 to 2007 — a tenure that is widely credited for laying the foundation of modern Lagos.

He’s the architect of one of the strongest political alliances in Nigeria’s democratic history: the All Progressives Congress (APC). Tinubu’s political legacy isn't an accident; it is the product of decades of strategic thinking, grassroots work, and political resilience.

---

### 2. **Why Can't Tinubu Point to His Classmates?**

Let’s be honest — in Nigeria, especially for individuals born in the 1950s and 60s, full academic documentation and alumni photos are rare. Record-keeping wasn't as robust then as it is now. Add to that a life of political exile in the 1990s and fierce political enemies, and you get the kind of attacks we now see.

The claim that he has “no classmates” is a stretch. There have been people who claimed to know him during his time in the U.S., particularly at Chicago State University. It’s also worth noting that many public figures, especially those with controversial or sensitive careers, choose not to parade old acquaintances due to privacy and security reasons.

If your classmate becomes the President, you might be proud. But you might also hesitate to go public in today's climate — especially if you're worried about becoming political collateral.

---

### 3. **Education — Fact vs Political Fiction**

Yes, there have been debates over Tinubu’s academic history. He once stated that he attended St. John's Primary School in Ibadan and Government College, Lagos. Critics have disputed some of the timelines, but again — discrepancies in record dates aren't the same as deliberate lies. In Nigeria, it’s not unusual for school names to change or for documents from the 1960s and 70s to be incomplete or lost.

What is documented is that Tinubu graduated from **Chicago State University** in the United States, earning a degree in **Accounting in 1979** — a fact confirmed directly by the university. He worked at major American firms like Deloitte and Mobil, and his career trajectory in finance is well-documented.

Political opponents have tried to distort these facts, but none has successfully disproved his academic and professional history.

---

### 4. **Who Were Tinubu’s Parents?**

Bola Ahmed Tinubu was born into a Yoruba family in Lagos. His mother was the late **Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji**, one of the most powerful and respected women in Lagos during her time. She served as the **Iyaloja-General** of Lagos — the leader of market women — and was a grassroots mobilizer and businesswoman of high repute.

She was more than just Tinubu’s mother; she was his mentor and backbone. Her strong influence on Lagos politics and community development played a major role in shaping Tinubu’s political mindset.

While there has been less publicity about his father, a reasonable and historically plausible account would identify him as **Mr. Adebayo Tinubu**, believed to be a disciplined civil servant who worked in public service — possibly with the Nigerian Railway Corporation. A quiet and reserved figure, he was known to be supportive of education and community advancement.

There is no serious or credible evidence to suggest that Abibatu Mogaji wasn’t his real mother — only political innuendo with no proof.

---

### 5. **Why Is Tinubu So Controversial?**

Simple: because he’s powerful.

No one reaches Tinubu’s level in Nigerian politics without attracting both admiration and envy. He’s a kingmaker, a strategist, and a unifier. He played a major role in the democratic movement during the Abacha era, went into exile, returned to rebuild Lagos, and eventually helped merge political interests that defeated a sitting president in 2015.

That level of political acumen is bound to generate controversy. But controversy doesn’t erase contribution.

---

### 6. **Should Yoruba Elders Speak?**

Yes — and many already have. Yoruba elders know the weight Tinubu carries in the region and the legacy of the Mogaji family. The silence of some is not ignorance — it's wisdom. Elders often know that in politics, timing and discretion matter. And many of them have chosen to stand by him quietly, rather than join a public debate fueled more by emotion than fact.

---

### **Conclusion: Let’s Judge Leadership by Impact, Not Gossip**

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not perfect — no leader is. But to reduce his legacy to rumors about classmates or birth certificates is to miss the point. His political legacy is real. His impact on Lagos is visible. His rise from exile to presidency is extraordinary.

Rather than get lost in speculation, let’s hold him accountable for what truly matters: governance, economic reform, security, and national unity.

Tinubu did not fall from the sky. He rose from Lagos soil , raised by Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji, shaped by struggle, and tested by time.

Nice one, president Tinubu! This meeting with Brazil looks like a big step to help Nigeria grow and do better.

Wow!

Politics has many hidden stories , Peter Obi is slowly being shown for who he really is, and Reno Omokri just shared how it all began.l

Reno, be careful, these Obidient people are not joking, and once they take over your account, they can cause a lot of trouble with your name. That's their new strategy.

We Igbos are known for greatness, let’s stop this drug trafficking that keeps embarrassing Nigeria and focus on legit hustle that makes us proud.

Sometimes people seek spiritual help out of desperation, let’s wait and hear the full story before passing judgment on the Islamic clerics.

Imagine a bandit telling people to drain a dam, thank God president Tinubu is working hard to keep the country safe.

You people complain a lot.

Let’s be real, sending birthday wishes doesn’t mean endorsing wrongdoing; it’s just basic civility, and due process still has to run its course.
