A human being like you typed that, probably a journalist. Mr, what is Deloitte and Touche saying about tinubu working for them? Deloitte and Touche surely has records of all its workers.
We need something from Deloitte and Touche. We concerned Nigerians are waiting for your proof.

Some say he worked for mobil,you are saying he worked for Deloitte and Touche. I don't know what to believe.

you can easily check his biography on internet. He first worked with deloitte and touche before moving to mobil. He's a brilliant manas you can see in him presently.

illuminated93:
Concerned Nigerians just want to know what Tinubu was doing before he became governor of Lagos State. No insults please.

I know that he was once an Executive at Mobil Oil Nigeria.

He is one of the founding members of NADECO. In trying to restore the June 12 results, they were faced with the brutality of Abacha and Tinubu went on exile and did not return to the country until the death of Abacha.

this ipob that ask for this question is a disgrace to humankind. He's trying to justify their stupidity for following a tout called kanu nnamdi who never work in better establishment. They would have look for another person in yoruba land but not a calibre of tinubu.

deji17:


I bet you will be supporting Atiku for President in the next election, even though Atiku cannot set foot on US soil without being arrested. Whereas Tinubu enters and exits the US at will.
You actually do not care if someone is a criminal or not. Like Reno Omokri who is now carrying Atku's bag upandan, what you care about is political patronage and someone that can guarantee your crumbs

The question wasn't meant for u.
U were very bad at answering it.
I support pdp and d last time I checked Atiku wasn't a member.
All d explanations u made above should actually depict u and not me bcuz u know about Tinubus Dark past but u still don't give a Bleep.

ProWalker:


I though your igbo claim to own 90% of Lagos developments?

They talk with both side of the mouth as it suits them.
When it's time for chest beating the own whole of Lagos, buh say tinubu owns half wen it's time to diss him.. Just like wanting biafra buh want to claim naija Same time.

They can't be compared. One is ready to die for his people,the other ensures he milks his people to the very end,so he can acquire choice properties and private jets.

Where were you during the Abacha, Babagida, during NADECO when the struggle for democracy was at peak, when Tinubu was on the run.. Tinubu fought in and out and your so called messiah was no where to be found. Both of them had no similarities.Tinubu is a political Trojans while Kanu is a seasonal fraudster..

I have always suspected him to be a brain, because his successors are intelligent too and are doing well. Again 95% of his investments are in Nigerian employing over 1.5m Nigerians.

Waka pass abeg. It is no hidden truth that some NADECO were in cahoots with Sani Abacha. BAT was one of them .

What a very stupid question to ask! How dare you compare Asiwaju Tinubu with that useless, retarred militant, banddit, scammer, gigolo, nuisance, albino Nnamdi Kanu? Just like comparism of death and sleep....
Asiwaju Tinubu history is well known positively, it's just that you are deformed... U can google it

So funny.. Incase you don't know... Tinubu is the owner of Oando.. I guess you know the rest...

He won't respond cause is a bad history, so I will help him.Nnamdi kanu was a gigolo in Ghana before he was disgraced after scamming one of his sugarmummies, he left for UK to venture into fraud. When he couldnt excel in fraudster and was about to be caught, he now think of agitating for Biafra to scam the scammers(IPork).

FULL NAME: Bola Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu
DATE OF BIRTH: 29 March 1952
(age 63)
OCCUPATION: Accountant, Politician
MARITAL STATUS: Married
INTRODUCTION
Bola Ahmed Tinubu was elected Senator for the Lagos West constituency in Lagos State, Nigeria in 1993, he also was elected governor of Lagos State (1999 – 2007). He is said to be among Nigeria's most successful politicians ever. He is currently the national leader of the ruling party in Nigeria, All Progressive Congress (APC).
EARLY LIFE AND BACKGROUND
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was born in Lagos, Nigeria to the illustrious Tinubu Family of Lagos State. He attended Richard Daley College, Chicago Illinois, where he earned himself a place in the honors list of the College. He subsequently proceeded to the Chicago State University, Illinois where he obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration (Accounting and Management).
During his undergraduate years, he was honored with the Outstanding Student’s Award, The University Scholar’s Award and the Certificate of Merit in Accounting and Finance.
On his arrival in the U.S. in 1975 and with the support of an ever-adoring mother, this courageous youth, faced with an unflinching zeal to succeed, took on such menial jobs as dishwashing, night-guard and cab-driving to see himself through the initial difficulties of school at the Richard Daley College, Chicago, Illinois.
The brilliance of this young Nigerian showed in his ability to make the honours’ list of Richard Daley College. He subsequently transferred to the Chicago State University, Illinois, graduating with honours in 1979 and earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration (Accounting and Management). During his first year in Chicago State University, young Bola was given the rare privilege to partly teach other students of his Faculty remedial tutorial classes. Most of his colleagues and contemporaries at the university attributed their improved grades to his tutorial lectures.
Throughout his undergraduate years, young Bola was on the Dean’s List and was honoured with the Outstanding Student’s Award, the University Scholar’s Award and the Certificate of Merit in Accounting and Finance. He was also awarded the prestigious Sumna cum laude for scoring 3.54 out of possible 4.0 GP.
With his successful academic profile, young Bola contested and won his first political election as the President of the Accounting Society of the institution in his final year at the University.
Upon graduation with honours and several awards, Bola Tinubu cut his professional teeth at the American-based Arthur Anderson, Deloitte Haskins and Sells (now called Deloitte Haskins and Touche) and GTE Service Corporation - the largest Communication and Utility Company in the United States of America.
Meanwhile, at Deloitte Haskins and Sells, the young and professional Bola broadened his experience by participating in the auditing and management consultancy services of General Motors, First National Bank of Chicago, Procter and Gamble, International Harvester, GEC and other Fortune 500 firms.
CAREER AND LIFE
On his return to Nigeria and with his international experience in Financial Management, young Bola joined Mobil Producing Nigeria as a Senior Auditor before he retired as the company’s Treasurer.
As pragmatic, charitable, grassroots’ person, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu saw communal service as a veritable tool for social development. He never hesitated to serve his community spearheading several financial contributions and fund-raising for community development programmes in Lagos State. He leads Primrose Group, a political action organization pushing for fundamental changes in the politics of Lagos State.
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu opted fully for public service in exchange for his lucrative job at Mobil. His first foray into active politics was as a founding member of the defunct Social Democratic Party (SDP). In 1992, he was elected as an Honourable Senator of the Federal Republic Nigeria to represent Lagos West Senatorial District. At the National Assembly, he distinguished himself as the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking, Finance, Appropriation and Currency - a foremost committee of the Senate.
With the annulment of the June 12, 1993 Nigerian Presidential Election and the consequent fresh militarization of the Nigerian politics, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu became a founding member of the famous pro-democracy group, the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO) which, for several years, engaged the military for the very soul of Nigeria. Subsequently, Bola Tinubu suffered many arrests and detention, harassments and constant threats to his life forcing him to flee Nigeria for his personal safety. He, however, did not give up the struggle as he joined NADECO abroad to continue the agitation for a restoration of democratic governance and the rule in the country.
In 1998, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu returned to Nigeria to heed a call for all Nigerians to join in the National Reconciliation and Development. A year later, he began his two-term public service as an elected Executive Governor of Lagos State on the platform of the Alliance for Democracy (AD).
For his excellent performance as the Executive Governor of Lagos State of Nigeria (1999 – 2007), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu received several awards. These include Best Governor in Nigeria for Y2000 by the Nigerian-Belgian Chamber of Commerce; Y2002 Best Practices Prize in improving the living environment, awarded by the Federal Ministry of Works and the UN Habitat Group; Y2000 Best Computerized Government in Nigeria Award by the Computer Association of Nigeria. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was conferred with the Honorary Doctor of Law Degree by the Abia State University in recognition of his immense contribution to democracy, good governance and development of Nigeria. He is the proud recipient of numerous other chieftaincy titles and a patron of many professional and social organizations.
As an astute political strategist, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu survived the massive incursion of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the South Western States of Nigeria as the lone re-elected Governor of the Alliance for Democracy (AD). This led him on a regular collision course with the PDP-controlled Federal Government, especially on his creation of additional 37 Local Council Development Areas for Lagos States. A Supreme Court judgment in his favour stated that the Mr. Olusegun Obasanjo’s Federal Government should release the seized statutory allocation of the Lagos State Local Government funds.
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was actively involved in the creation of the Action Congress (AC) political party as recourse to the decimated Alliance for Democracy (AD). Rallying like minds across the country, he sold sound ideals and programmes on this fresh and new political platform. Within a few months, he transformed this new party as the credible opposition to the PDP in the country.
His political career began in 1992, when he was elected to the Nigerian Senate representing the Lagos West constituency in the short-lived Nigerian Third Republic. After the results of the 12 June 1993 presidential elections were annulled, Tinubu became a founding member of the pro-democracy National Democratic Coalition (NADECO), which mobilized support for the restoration of democracy and recognition of the 12 June results. He went into exile in 1994 and returned to the country in 1998 after the death of military dictator Sani Abacha, which ushered in a transition to civilian rule.
In the run-up to the 1999 elections, Bola Tinubu was a protégé of Alliance for Democracy (AD) leaders Abraham Adesanya and Ayo Adebanjo. He won the AD primaries for the Lagos State gubernatorial elections in competition with Funsho Williams and Wahab Dosunmu, a former Minister of Works and Housing. In April 1999, he stood for the position of Executive Governor of Lagos State on the AD ticket and was elected.
Lagos State governor
When he assumed office in May 1999, Bola Ahmed Tinubu promised 10,000 housing units for the poor. During his eight-year period of office, he made large investments in education in the state. He also initiated new road construction, required to meet the needs of the fast-growing population of the state.
The Oloye Tinubu, alongside a new deputy governor, Femi Pedro, won re-election to office as Governor in April 2003. All other states in the South West fell to the People's Democratic Party.
He was involved in a struggle with the Federal government over whether Lagos State had the right to create new Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) to meet the needs of its large population.
The controversy led to the Federal government seizing funds meant for local councils in the state. During the later part of his term in office, he was engaged in continuous clashes with PDP powers such as Adeseye Ogunlewe, a former Lagos State senator who became minister of works, and Bode George, southwest chairman of the PDP.
Relations between Bola Tinubu and deputy governor Femi Pedro became increasingly tense after Pedro declared his intention to run for the gubernatorial elections. Femi Pedro competed to become the AC candidate for governor in the 2007 elections, but withdrew his name on the eve of the party nomination. He defected to the Labour Party while still keeping his position as deputy governor. Tinubu's tenure as Lagos State Governor ended on 29 May 2007 when Babatunde Fashola of the Action Congress took office. Fashola had been Chief of Staff to Bola Tinubu.
Today, the great legacy of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is built on by his successor, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), who served as his Chief of Staff. Continuation of Tinubu’s outstanding policies makes the present administration of Lagos State an exceptional and the foremost Government in Nigeria.
The Jagaban Borgu still marches on in the political landscape of the country, with a resolve to take on any challenging task with positive public to reduce poverty among his people.
Following the victory by the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in the April 2007 elections, Bola Tinubu was active in negotiations to bring together the fragmented opposition parties into a "mega-party" capable of challenging the PDP in 2011. In July 2009, he called for implementation of electoral reforms spelled out in the Uwais report to ensure that the 2011 elections would be as free and fair as the elections of 1993 had been. In December 2009 there were reports that Babatunde Fashola and Bola Tinubu had fallen out over the issue of whether Fashola should run for reelection in 2011, with Tinubu said to be supporting the Commissioner for Environment, Muiz Banire.
Tinubu formed a new party alongside
Muhammadu Buhari a party which was named All Progressive congress (APC). The goal was to build a stronger party to get rid of the ruling party PDP.
In 2015 Tinubu's target became a success as APC won the presidential elections and most of the polls across the country.
Tinubu is married to Oluremi Tinubu, the current Senator of central Lagos State. His youngest daughter, Abibat Tinubu, graduated from a Music college in Boston, Massachusetts, US in 2013.

He was jobless... Came in as Governor and stole the state dry..... Op na wetin u want hear Abi Mind u.. Stealing is not corruption before u quote me... OMG... Wetin concern me sef

Warship:



So you have not seen people with fake degrees working in a private firm because their brothers sent to find out about their genuine results covered up for them

Is this not Nigeria where anything goes


If you doubt me, show us Buhari certificate.

My brother, try to remove sentiments aside, did buhari ever tell you he worked in a private firm? If I am to say I want to begin talking like you....so tinubu suddenly received anointing to become an auditor without passing through the forewalls of a university? Or maybe he learnt accounting as an apprentice

Bro, I don't usually do this but I think we have a prob with priorities. Nnamdi Kanu is not the one living an ostentatious lifestyle, why can't we just let him be? Are you happy with the way the country is? Are you happy with the joke currently lodged in Abuja house? Please we all know Tinubu has not been entirely honest but do you have any dirt on Kanu?

Let's get a solution on the way forward, let Kanu be. Nigeria has to change and like it or not Kanu is doing better than you in applying pressure on the govt. [color=#006600][/color]

Brilliant piece from a logical mind.
You really deserve a round of applause for your comment.

Haha. E be like say "pigs and idiots" na the new buzz I love it! Cos it's straight to the point.

And come to think of it, pigs love potopoto.
