Even If Tinubu Was A 'Drug Lord', So What? by Catapault: 12:11am On Nov 08, 2023 |
Even IF Tinubu Was A 'Drug Lord', SO WHAT? I mean, the way people talk about this 'drug lord' business.. Even if as a young man Tinubu dealt in drugs, that was a long time ago, and he was never convicted of any offence. So WHY EXACTLY should that be held over his head? I mean, the dude was Governor of Lagos state, and by all accounts, the best governor they ever had by an absolute mile, under whom the state, from anonymity, became the 5th largest economy in Africa. If it takes a drug dealer to do that, then give us more drug dealers, please. The previous 'SAINTS' who had led Lagos state into the gutter included military governors installed by dictators, and utterly useless civilian successors, apart from maybe Jakande and Marwa who tried a little. Then came the JAGABAN. Bobo Chicago. City Boy. Next thing you know, the entire Lagos State becomes a huge construction site, in an infrastructure drive that continues till today, with Lagos State racing far ahead of the rest of the country, under a succession of carefully selected technocrat leaders. If it takes a former drug lord from Chicago to do that, and to teach you fcking moro.ns how to GOVERN YOURSELVES, so be it. If Tinubu can replicate proportionally even HALF the success he achieved in Lagos state, as President of Nigeria, it would be worth it, and the entire nation will feel the difference. So take all that drug bullshiit and GTFOH. 9 Likes |

No mention of MC Oluomo. What an insult. Without the thuggery and rigging where would Titi be today? MC is the power behind the throne. Give him some respect Catapault: Yeah, but our man's own is waay too much. Different if it were only drug dealing. But he was stealing Lagos tax money with bullion vans in broad daylight, nobody knows for sure his parentage or where he's from, or schools he went to pre-uni, then clearly forged documents, MC Oluomo, etc, etc. Is he the only one in the country??!! 6 Likes |

The most useless and mediocre politicians carry bible and koran around, deceiving the masses while embezzling funds and being useless to the country. And then some guy comes along who knows how to get shiit done, and then you say because he sold dope as a kid, he can't be president of his country? FCK YOU! 4 Likes 1 Share |

Isobug: ''He that is without sin should cast the first stone..'' Is that not what your Jesus said? Every single one of you has committed a crime at some point in your life for which you should be imprisoned, and barred from contesting for any public office. Whether it is bribing an officer, or stealing something somewhere, you are ALL criminals. Every single one of you is a lying crook. You just haven't been caught. So to sit on some fake high horse, and attack someone else for past transgressions, stinks of high hypocrisy, and you need to stop. 4 Likes |

PoliteActivist: In the Nigerian context where ALL are criminal suspects only lucky not to have been caught for various transgressions, it is irrelevant. DONALD TRUMP is currently LEADING Joe Biden in the US polls. If an election were to be held today in America, Trump will win hands down, Yet DONALD TRUMP has over 90 FELONY CHARGES ON HIS HEAD. Just yesterday he was in court to contest the damages after having been convicted of fraudulently overestimating the value of his companies to gain billions of dollars in bank loans. And that is a civil case, not one of the 90+ criminal felonies! YET, HE WILL WIN THE ELECTIONS HANDS DOWN IN THE USA TODAY. WHY? Because in his time as president, the US economy was very strong. Finish. Anything else you want to accuse him of, that is your own wahala. As Bill Clinton once famously said, ''It's the economy, stupid.'' Now, TINUBU has a CLEAR RECORD of economic achievement. Economic mastery. He knows how to grow an economy. He has done it before. In the ENGINE ROOM of the Nigerian economy, Lagos State. SO WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM? 1 Like |

WeirdAlien: I Just showed you ''how western countries work'' in my last post about TRUMP. He is top in the US polls despite 90+ felony charges on his head, including rape, embezzlement, insurrection, money laundering, and fraud. Tinubu has never had even ONE single felony charge levelled against him in his entire life! 1 Like 2 Shares |

PoliteActivist: Dude, TRUMP has done 100 TIMES WORSE than what you just listed. Trump is charged with leading an INSURRECTION against the country! His followers broke into the US national assembly in an incident that killed 6 people and damaged the entire building as senators fled for their lives to escape the angry mob, all in an attempt to criminally overturn the results of an election! Do you know that instigating an insurrection is a treasonable offence that used to attract the death penalty in America until very recently? This is what you are comparing to Tinubu not showing you a certificate? You people are crazy! 2 Likes |

Tinubu did not make Lagos rather Lagos made Tinubu. If it was his effort, mention one bridge or major infrastructure built by Tinubu? How come this is not reflected in other SW states wherd he has been selecting the governors? Who built Abuja? Catapault: 4 Likes |

Lagos is not a real city. These are the attributes of a cosmopolitan area. 1. Constant electricity 2. Pipe borne water 3. Good public schools 4. Excellent road network 5. Emergency services like 911, ambulance, fire services, first responders etc 6. Good public health system 7. Credit facilities 8. Credible elections. Lagos does not have these in the standard consistent with what a large economy should adequately have Catapault: 4 Likes |
Re: Even If Tinubu Was A 'Drug Lord', So What? by Catapault: 2:31am On Nov 08, 2023 |
DMerciful: If those criteria you listed are what qualify a place to be called a city, then 90% OF CITIES ON earth are not cities. Even Dubai and Beijing are not cities, since they hold no ''credible elections''. New Delhi, Nairobi, and Johannesburg are not cities, since they do not have ''constant electricity''. Fact is most countries on Earth are developing countries, and their cities often reflect that. The USAs, UKs, Frances, and Germanys are the EXCEPTIONS in a world filled with developing nations, to the tune of 80% of nations. So your definition of what a CITY is, is highly Eurocentric and narrow, and should be abandoned. 1 Like |
