Wahoo. i am almost 40 now, i spent almost 30yrs in Nigeria before moving to the states. But during my days in Nigeria, i never knew that we as Nigerians were this divided. The comments i see on this platform is shocking. I can't believe our youths are defending these good for nothing politicians because they are of same tribe or religion. wahoo. Americans have their differences when it comes to race, religion and even geographical settlements just like we do in Nigeria. But when it comes to national issue, they find a way to work together, because they know if they destroy their country today, they become asylum seeker tomorrow in another country. they put their unborn children in the equation and think of how life would be for those kids if they make the wrong decision today. But when i see these comments from young people , comments like" Tinube is been insulted by the east, south or north because hes from the west. That's absolutely ridiculous. Any politician putting his ambition , personal interest ahead of the people should be disgraced. oshomole, Tinubu, Buhari, El Rufia, IBB, Abubaka, Rochas Okorocha, Amechi, Igbinedion, Ibori, Obasanjoand others are all criminal, this has nothing to do with tribe. Why would our youth stick they life out on social media to defend these ordinary criminals , is simply beyond me. I know a lot of people on social medial still live with their parents, so they don't understand how it feels to work and provide for family. But you have eyes, can't u see how hard it is for ur parents to provide for u? Tinubu and oshomele don't care u and him came from same village or tribe, they will still steal your future and that of your children. Don't defend these these thief because of tribe or religion, but do so because they merit it. Tinubu and oshomole are criminals , it has nothin to do with tribe

Lolz. You are just disturbing yourself. Nigeria's problem is deep, systemic and goes back a long time. Tell me, if you foresaw a better future for this country, would you be in the States now?

May God disgrace all the looters vying for office come 2023!

tuniski:
Tinubu will be buried politically should he contest the presidency. Either he fails at the primaries or be thrashed at the general elections. Nigeria is beyond Lagos! Edo people just showed a preview!

Amen!

NGpatriot:
What history are the ignorant people talking about?

Let me school you, this is the real history.


Tinubu fought and defeated OBJ

Tinubu fought and defeated GEJ

Tinubu all by himself wrestled SW away from the PDP, the ruling party and the so called largest political party in Nigeria

Tinubu ejected the PDP/Ruling party from power

Tinubu remains the most powerful and influential politician and Nigerian alive and this is the reason why you can not stop writing, lamenting and crying over him everyday.

PDP was a bystander, a mare tool, a means to an end for Obaseki, what happened in Edo was an outcome of APC internal disagreements which they eventually will settle, reconcile and move on.

You see how u guys are destroying the man.
Point of correction Tinubu did not fought and defeat GEJ, Nigerians did and not because of Tinubu but because of PMB which was adjudged as Mr Integrity.

To unseat a sitting Governor nor easy oh. except the governor name na AMBODE. that Ambode na weak guy

Compound fool

.

Wollykayb:


Tinubu have really dealt with their masters thts why the children are crying

You can see how they are celebrating ordinary Wike for Edo election but discrediting Tinubu for several victories he has achieved since 1999

Its not easy to destroy president, Senate president, governors etc

NGpatriot:


What power are you talking about

Is Tinubu a governor, a senator, reps or even president? What power?

Is he even a public official?

Tinubu just like you and other ordinary Nigerians supported a candidate that did not win so what power was lost? Is election not about wining and losing?

You people need to stop wailing and ranting over nothing? You lament and troubled your life so much over Tinubu, you turned the man into a mythical figure that you torture yourself with everyday.

You people need to give it a rest and get a life.

Yes, he is a public figure, he is a powerful politician of the SW extraction, hailed as the national leader of APC, he is even now reffered to as the father for all Democrats , but my point is this... Me and tinubu are not mate,.l am an ordinary Nigerian, tinubu helped to install Buhari who many of us think is non electable (this is his major Bleep up), when many seasoned Nigerians were available to choose from... Even tinubu would ve made a far more better president. He has reached his peak. Now we think he sacrificed the well being of Nigeria for his sole interest.
Has Tinubu critized Buhari before? When southern Nigeria has bn shouting marginalization, did tinubu lend his voice... Then look at the use of thugs in elections, shamelessly even in Lagos State... I wish him well,... Then how can u order 2 bullion vans at the eve of elections? A leader of all Democrats?

The way Tinubu dominates social media it will be very difficult for any candidate to displace him in the politicosphere, godfather or not. Im tired of coming to politics section and everywhere is Tinubu. Na only this man be politician for Nigeria? And the man is not even elected into any office.

No one is talking about key players on the ground in Edo. Ganduje, Uzodinma. Is Yorubaman on the hround in Edo? No. Why do we give him so much importance above others more important? We dont want godfather, end to godfatherism but at every opportunity we put him in headlines. How godfatherism want take extinguish? I tire for Nigerians and lack of sense.

A few days to the election, Mr Tinubu made and circulated a video wherein he called Mr Obaseki a dictator. He appealed to the Edo electorates to reject the governor at the polls. He also described himself as the leader of all democrats in the country, an appellation that angered some leading politicians and political observers in the country.

The loaded hypocrisy in this statement could last a thousand lifetimes, and still there will be some hypocrisy left over.

Wiseandtrue:

When he (Tinubu) made that conference call like a president , I said it here on Nairaland that he shouldn't have, cause he has no moral right to do that!

In a country where the president claim to fight corruption, people like Tinubu are supposed to be in hiding for fear of persecution

Not boldly rubbing salts on wounds in our faces!!!

Facts

NGpatriot:
You Igbos need to learn how to move on, even sef, you people are still crying and wailing over GEJ since 2015, but Ijaw people moved on the day after election in 2015.

What is it with you people and hatred, bitterness and anger?

Is your life not complete until you rant, yell and obsess over Tinubu?

I'd understand if Tinubu is collecting your village taxes and allocation and saddled you with kerosene and wheelbarrow like your village governors.

Jx like the ludo and slippers governor's in the SW.

festacman:
With hindsight, I would say that Jagaban's video did great damage to Pastor Osaze Ize-iyamu's fortunes.

The lesson here is, like ex-POTUS George Bush stayed away from John McCain's campaign to avoid complicating it with his 'baggages', Asiwaju Tinubu should have worked at the background especially as his personality and influence were made Obaseki's campaign theme. He should have stayed off to allow Edo people do their thing. Even, Adams Oshiomole should have also reduced visibility because Osaze Iyamu is widely-loved grassroots man who have successfully drove that campaign.

Having said this, it is possible that some forces in APC connived with Obaseki to do some 'electoral doping' in order to cut Tinubu/Oshiomole to size. Remember I said, "it is possible".

If Obaseki's victory was about godfatherism, what is Gov. Nyesom Wike to Tambuwal, current PDP chairman Prince Uche Secondus, Hon. Kingsley Chinda, etc. The truth is that after his tenure, Obaseki becomes a godfather to protect his interests by imposing and campaigning for his annointed candidate.

Politics is bloody hell, men!

U right Bro, in politics, the next moves are always unexpected

Trentee:

Tinubu did not defeat any of these people that you mentioned. It was the collective will of Nigerians that defeated them. The collective will of Edo people brought in Oshiomole and disgraced him when he wanted to become what they destroyed. Nigerians have seen how Tinubu controls Lagos. Even Buhari as a president is not that overbearing. The same collective will of Nigerians will show Tinubu that Nigeria is bigger than Lagos. #9jaBigPassLagos#

Haaaaaa!!! I have been waiting for somebody to say this. All these Tinubu fans are talking like Tinubu influenced the voting of the people.

Goke7:


oga so Buhari no be problem again, na tinubu now haba make una no dey lie too much na, talk true if Buhari resign, una no go happy?

English is indeed not for everybody. How does Buhari not being Overbearing translates to Buhari not being the problem?

Buhari is not as controlling as Tinubu, even when he is the number 1 leader of APC.

Don't worry. After 2023 we will see who's going to be the wailers.

It is a big lesson to the SW that Tinubu is not seen as god beyond the region unlike what they would love to believe. The handwriting on 2023 is becoming clearer as voters become wiser.

fjjc:
Well, this is a very painful one, but I know Obaseki should trend softly, because, APC can still approach court not on the matter of the election, but on his eligibility of contesting for this election being disqualified from APC primary, if court sack him there is nothing anybody can do. Even US that has is own electoral problem to manage, will not be able to save him.

He didn't contest in APC Sir, he wasn't allowed to participate and so, it can't used against him.
There's no legal technicality available for APC to remove him now.
Infact, it's APC that didn't have a candidate because their legal state chairman's faction didn't conduct a primary because of Oshiomhole oversabi.

So, now you have decided to play dumb. Tinubu has no power, yet he decides who gets political positions

NGpatriot:




You mean Tinubu's name was on the ballot last Saturday in Edo? Must you people look for the most comical and empty excuse to wail and lament over Tinubu as if he stole your last bowl of garri?

I don't do gossips, rumors and conspiracy theories.

Stop acting dumb. we both have Tinubu has alot to gain if APC had won the election.

You guys are really pained, even when it was written by your brother Temidayo Akinboyo�

DEROX:
see obsession on just one man o lol I have seen up to 21 threads today by one tribe against him wow

Yes I understand that Temidayo Akinboyo is one of the nyamirin pig�. See painment .

Wollykayb:
Haaaa
Its not easy to destroy an incumbent president
Its not easy to destroy the hope of the miscreant pigs who wanted to produced VP but Tinubu turned their Obi into Obituary

I can understand the frustration nd obsession from nyamirin pigs

Slave of PDP are crying against 2023 that the Northerners have already counted them unworthy

My brother, leave story.
It's wisdom for a man to know when to throw in the towel.

Politics is bloody hell, men!

same people will still castigate him for not saying anything or tactical deliberate silence in order to protest Oshiomole's candidate.

The fact is, people will always speak negative when the going gets tough. It's a natural human trait.

For me, neither of these parties and the klepts they bring forth can make any difference.

kilonshele101:


Lol
Who in your region can stand him?
Tinubu is giving you people hard time Your nightmare shall Come to past

hehehehe epain u

Nairaland doesn't need to remain toxic. We can make our points with strong emotions.

In hindsight, you would agree with me that the same internal politics that bedeviled APC in Edo coupled with the current frustration against the ruling party was also what played out at the National level in 2015 against Jonathan. No doubt Tinubu played his part by taking advantage of the situation but that alone would not have worked had the north not fielded their own candidate (Buhari).

This is the true lesson from Nigerian political history - no region comes to power without the north. It will remain this way until the southern regions come together.

Really? you must be a learner. You guys are funny so you think all Political leaders in Lagos takes daily instructions from tinubu

Learner ke? I laugh at your stupidity. Tinubu have single handled picked Lagos governors since he left office in 2007. His family is bigger than any government in Lagos
