Some of our brethren from South East supporting Obi are intolerance. I had to leave a group where I am an admin even though I support Obi, an Igbo sister insulted all my life and the other Igbos supported her. It's unfortunate, this intolerance is causing issues and will make some narrow minds back off. I support Obi though but I miss Osinbajo.

Maybe military will take over from Buhari, let's see.

He went round the world but couldn't win the African best Player or record trophies for himself. Kanu for example African best twice, Champions league, EPL and FA Cup abeg just go and be playing betking.

Kanu also endorsed Tinubu.

1 person would win the highest of accolades but some would forever remain in the memory.

I remember how Okocha was mobbed the day Nigeria played England at Wembley in 2018.

Face the fact, if Okocha was your relation, you would be using him as a reference in your life.

It takes a special kind of bigotry to hate Tinubu. Like, why should anybody hate someone that is so brilliant, competent, nationalistic, and compassionate?

Tinubu abandoned a very promising and rewarding career at Mobil unlimited for public service. He fought the military until democracy was restored in Nigeria when others who are now contesting against him were simply doing business and befriending the military. He fought all the undemocratic policies of the Obasanjo administration to the point that Obasanjo seized the statutory allocation of Lagos state.

Tinubu personally ensured that democracy survived in Nigeria by keeping the opposition movement alive when PDP was doing everything possible to turn the country to a one party state. This is the same Tinubu they are hating on. The same man that has made all possible sacrifices for this country.

For sensible folks like me who understand the history of where we are coming from and the challenges ahead, we will do everything possible to ensure Bola Tinubu is elected President. He’s the best candidate in the race and he will perform better than all the others put together.

Even though Tinubu maynot be extremely bad, Shettima isn't someone that should be allowed close to Ask Rock. Do you want Afghanistan to happen to Nigeria?

Okocha is well within his rights to visit Tinubu and thank him for privileges he received in the past. However Okocha did not endorse Tinubu. This is what Okocha is quoted to have said "even though I don’t know if you still need something. But, whatever your desire is, the Lord will grant it, especially in good health.”

He is tacitly telling Tinubu that he is greedy as his statement implies "even though I don't know if you still need something..." Okocha is smart. Pay obeisance but put your conscience across to the discerning. [/b]This is not an ENDORSEMENT but a REPUDIATION of the insatiable appetite of Tinubu for primitive accumulation and naked lust for power that has eluded him already.[b] Okocha specifically requested good health for Tinubu which we all want for him. Okocha did not mention Tinubu's quest for the Presidency even though he could have because he knows Tinubu desires that greatly. [/b]By not mentioning it deliberately, Okocha is not in support of Tinubu's political ambition.[b] This is clear to the discerning except those whose wholesale consumption of starchy Agbado has affected their thinking and vision.

Tinubu is a good man in terms of capacity and human connection. He has friends everywhere. Just that he's old and not fit for the number 1 spot and secondly the Muslim/Muslim ticket which is a Jihadist ticket as revealed by a Kano cleric.


This election is going to be highly contested, anything can happen. I need Obi for now.

A Kano cleric whom you never knew about and whose name you would have to Google even now.

This are the people that understands what good governance is not religion and tribal bigotry infested mind. Tinubu is the best candidate contesting. How I wish WIKE is contesting under PDP. I WOULD HAVE PREFERS WIKE, BUT NOW, NOBODY IS CLOSE TO TINUBU
Re: 2023: He Is Reason I Call Lagos Home, Okocha Endorses Tinubu by CSTRR: 9:07am On Jan 14, 2023
So before Tinubu, non-indigenes could not stay in Lagos?

Nnamdi Azikiwe lived in Lagos for crying out loud.
That was in the 40s.

Anyway, these are the elites.

Far removed from the condition of the common man.

The same with the likes of taribo west, amokachi and co.

Hustlers looking to fund their expensive lifestyle.

These praises are too much. From Asari to Okocha to a, b, c.

I have never joined the bandwagon of people who at every opportunity call Tinubu a drug lord.

But one thing I know about people into drug dealings and violent crimes, generally, from my knowledge of history, is that they're usually very good to the 'civilian' population and ruthless to law enforcement agents and competing gangs.

Same traits of Pablo Escobar who became the Robin hood of Medellin his hometown. He was killed after making attempt to run for the office of the president of Columbia. He would have won of course because he was loved all over the country for his philanthropic deeds. But remember his hands was also soiled in blood!

When you endorse someone like Tinubu, what are the reasons:
1. Agberoism in Lagos
2. Indebtedness for generations unborn
3. Muslim-Muslim ticket
4. Insecurity
5. Education relegation
6. Inflation
7. Nigeria: Poverty capital of the world

Indeed, selfishness, runs deeper in some people's blood.
