Omojuwa Under Fire For Praising Tinubu Over What He Condemned Jonathan For by Racoon(m): 1:25am On Sep 24, 2023
Social media influencer, Japheth Omojuwa, has received a barrage of backlash from some Nigerians on social media on Saturday for praising President Bola Tinubu over the ringing of closing bell at the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (NASDAQ), New York, the United States.

Tinubu, last Wednesday, after his speech at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), rang the closing bell at NASDAQ, an American stock market that handles electronic securities trading around the world.

Prior to that, Omojuwa, on September 11, had tweeted on X (which was known as Twitter that time) that the president would ring the bell, adding that every Nigerian should be excited about it.

“US Chamber of Commerce invites Tinubu to ring NASDAQ closing bell Sept 20 | Nigeria’s President Tinubu is shaping up to be the darling of Corporate America. I know every Nigerian is excited about this,” he wrote.

Omojuwa, a staunch supporter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), however, started receiving criticisms for over post for ridiculing former President Goodluck Jonathan who rang the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) exactly 10 years ago.

The social media commentator in his tweet in 2013 also called Jonathan’s adherents ‘”lowlives” for celebrating the ex-president over the action that time.

“Jonathan is ringing the closing bell at the NYSE I think on Monday. One of these lowlives is expecting us to applaud him for that. LOL,” Omojuwa had tweeted on September 21, 2013.


Netizens, however, especially critics of the APC, have stormed X to lampoon Omojuwa for hailing Tinubu on the same action he downplayed for Jonathan.
Here are some of the tweets on X:

Lori Iro! Omojuwa demonstrated 2 dirty traits unique of the people from the land of sophisticated politics He first of all confirmed Ajuri Ngelalee lie of Tinubu's being the first Nigerian president to ring the NASDRA bell.

2nd is the wicked trait of nauseating double-minded hypocrisy about anything APC This reminds me of the Sarrki on NL here who used lament of being disappointed in the expected catastrophe Buhari is but became an ethnic bigot to foist another Buhari promax upon this nation due to the emilokan warped mentality.

These are the shameless mummified zombies who foisted APC - the worst unfortunate political phenomenon to ever grace our national life. They wickedly supported their every evil policies, decisions, impunity, lawlessness and unconstitutionality all the way. Sanctimonious hypocrites calling themselves patriots.

-APC glamourised the insecurity of pre-2015 but it has worsened to frightening levels under their watch in the past 8 years.

-APC sanctimoniously glamourised the corruption of the PDP years only for the them not legalised same but shamelessly robbed it on the faces of Nigerians by being the first to give the nation an all corrupt caste in government; a criminal president, senate president, chief of staff, corrupt ministers and morbidly corrupt ruling government party chairman.

-APC lied, amidst wicked propaganda of fuel subsidy being a scam and fraud with zilch knowledge of the working dynamics therein. Today, it is still perpetuating the same scam as evident with NNPC allegedly borrow monies on behalf of the FG to substantiate its overhead costs.

-APC so much lied about many phantom illusory promises all just to gain political power including the issues of restructuring, building of new refineries, Ogoni oil spillage cleanup, etc. Of course the rest is history.

That is Yoruba Man for you.

Even Dr. Kayode Fayemi, former Governor of Ekiti State admitted that, "they" played Politics with 2012 Occupy Nigeria protest when GEJ attempted to remove subsidy while Petrol was below 100 NGN per Litre.

Today, the same people are saying they want to save the nation's finances by removing the same subsidy. Do you know how much Nigeria would have saved/gained across the 8 years, when you guys were thoughtless. You decided to become sensible overnight. Dirty Hypocrites.

Exactly,

They once praised Naira Mali even called him the best artist in Africa when he was promoting drugs, alcohol, rituals, cultism, smoking weeds, r@pe and other vices among Nigerian youths...

Now they are condemning him because the vices he championed has finally killed one of their own..

How about youths that died as a result of drugs all in the name of being Malians?

Olumide once sang a song "Science Student" promoting drugs and use of substance among youths...

That is a typical Yoruba Man for you, very cuny people, if you remember what local Yoruba Muslims did to Goodluck Jonathan then , infact I don't think anyone from SE or SS should ever support anything APC or this drug lord in power


You guys need to stop this sweeping castigations of ethnic groups, in this case Yorubas, especially on this APC/BAT issue.

There are millions of Yorubas who do not support BAT or APC. But when people like you turn it to ethnic 'war', you force such persons to take sides by defending thier ethnicity.

Limit your criticism to the APC & BAT, don't drag the whole ethnic group into such matters.

Bursted. 🤣


It is what they are known for. 🚶


1.2 million followers without engagement. 🥲


But this Omojuwa is even better because he is a nobody compare to one old papa laureate bigot.


Noble Agbaya Laureate Soyinka, Reno Grand Father who is regarded as nationalist, but revealed in Tinubu government as a shameless bigot.

They are all voice for sale.

Only when Jonathan was in power, but today, he is now a bigot, and a regionalist.

That's the problem with a lot of these guys from SE. You claim to condemn ethnic politics but you're doing the exact same thing.
I know a Yoruba Muslim who is very anti-APC be it Tinubu or Buhari
Such an individual if he sees what these guys write online will feel threatened at the thought of them taking power. That's the major part they fail to understand.
It's same with the Obi franchise. Do you know a lot of northerners were not necessarily against Obi in 2023 elections like so many of his brethren believed? But they couldn't vote him due to not being familiar with his person and background. What Obidients should have done is double down on their penetration into the north but instead they have reverted to tribalism. How do you convince a northern Muslim to vote Obi when you don't stop criticising them for voting their choice in the last election?
It's just nauseating

Hypocrisy is an understatement.

He's a FOOL. Shameless fool.

The fool said every Nigerian is excited that Tinubu rang a bell. He thinks all Nigerians are lowlives that support drug trafficking 'first class' graduate that is preventing access to his academic records.

This is what happens when Omojuwo and co are bankrolled by Tinubu/Buhari. You have to play the role of a fool to defend Tinubu.


In a similar thread, I noticed some ignorant babablu supporters trying to shift goal post by saying that NYSE is not the same as NASDAQ

NYSE is a bigger market than NASDAQ. NYSE has an equity market capitalization of 25 trillion dollars as of July 2023. It is the biggest exchange in the world.

Jonathan rang the bell at the biggest market NYSE which Omojuwa criticised, but praised Tinubu for ringing bell at NASDAQ.

You have to be wonderfully dumb to still defend Omojuwa on this.
