Read about the French revolution or the meiji restoration..

Did the France fall after the greedy monarchs were executed??

Did Meiji fail to remake Japan after the Samurai who ruled Japan for centuries were forced to lay down their swords..

You are not student of history and too stupid to debate with me..

If the current leadership will not see sense, then yes they should be swept away. History suggests something will replace them and it would probably be better than what we have now..

So yes destruction would be a brilliant move mumu..

THE #ENDSARS PROTESTS; A FUNDAMENTAL LESSON IN DEMOCRATIC GOVERNANCE

I heavily grieve for those who have lost their lives or been injured during the period of these protests.

2. My deepest sympathies go to their families and loved ones for none should have been made to pay such a dear price. My career as an active politician spans nearly three decades.

3. In that time, I have seen many things as Nigeria has struggled, sometimes against itself, to undertake the often painful yet inexorable push toward democratic government accountable to, and protective of, the people.

4. Here, let me directly address the sharp point aimed against me. I have been falsely accused of ordering the reported deployment of soldiers against peaceful protesters that took place at Lekki on 20 October 2020.

5. This allegation is a complete and terrible lie. I did not order this or any assault against anybody. I would never want such a vile thing to happen nor did I have any prior knowledge about this sad event.

6. It is my firm belief that no one should be harassed, injured or possibly killed for doing what they have the constitutional right to do in making their contribution to a better, more equitable society.

7. As a political figure, I am accustomed to people attributing to me all manner of indiscretions of which I have no knowledge and in which I played no role. I have usually ignored such falsities as the cost of being in the public eye.

8. This time, it is different. The allegation now levied against me is that I called on soldiers to kill my own people. This allegation is the foulest of lies.

9. The use of strong force against any peaceful protesters is indefensible, completely outside the norms of a democratic society and progressive political culture to which I aspire and have devoted my public life.

10. That people were angered by the reports of violence and death is acutely understandable.
Understandably outraged, people sought to hold someone accountable.

11. For various reasons, I became the most available scapegoat. Some people don't like me because they believe the false rumours uttered about me over the years. Some maligned my name because they hide ulterior motives & harbour unrequited political scores they intend to settle

12. A week ago, such people tried to bring enmity between me and the state and federal governments by contending I was sponsoring the protests.

13. When that did not work, they then sought to sow enmity between me and the people by saying I ordered soldiers to quash the very same protests they first accused me of organising.

14. My opponents have every right to oppose me politically but let them have the courage to do so in the open, above board and to employ facts not evil fiction in their efforts against me.

15. They have no right to slander and defame anyone with the terrible and vile fabrications now cast at my feet.

16. Those who have decided to hate me will hate me regardless of the truth. Again, they have the right to think as they may and I am not troubled by their unfounded animus. Today, I speak not to them. I leave them to the workings of their own conscience.

17. The slander aimed at me is based on the untruth that I own the toll gate concession. The hate mongers prevaricate that I ordered the Lekki assault because the protests had caused me to lose money due to the interruption of toll gate activity.

18. I ask people to thoroughly investigate the matter of my alleged ownership of the toll gate. By seeking facts, instead of being swayed by gossip, you will find I have no ownership interest or involvement in the toll gate.

19. At bottom, the toll gate is a public asset. If it is reopened, revenues should be donated to the confirmed victims of the Lekki attack as well as to other identifiable victims of police brutality in Lagos.

20. Let government use the money to compensate and take care of those who have lost life or limb in the struggle for all citizens to go about the quiet, peaceful enjoyment of life without fear of undue harassment at this or that checkpoint.

21. On the other hand, I am, indeed, a promoter and financial investor in The Nation and TVC. It was widely known and circulated through social media that certain malevolent elements were going to take advantage of the situation to attack the Nation newspaper facilities & TVC.

22. These elements, mostly hirelings of my political opponents, wreaked their havoc and destroyed those buildings and facilities and I thank God that the employees of these two media institutions managed to escape largely unharmed.

23. There is no rationale that can adequately explain why I would order soldiers to repel peaceful protesters from the toll gate where I have no financial interest, yet, choose to do nothing to protect my investments in the Nation and TVC.

24. The good and creative people of Lagos have worked hard over the years to build it into the dynamic economic and cultural focal point it has become. Lagos has enjoyed over two decades of sustained, uninterrupted growth.

Tinubu you will never become president, this Fulani govt will finish you politically before 2023, they will send you to jail to bring you down completely. You betrayed the whole south and supported blood thirsty Fulani cabal to power in 2015 and 2019 despite all of buhari’s antecedents. Greedy thieving man pocketing all of Lagos money.

SonOfAfonja:


I’m proud of my statement...The insult part was my highlight infact, but I do not see how you managed to spin it into a tribalistic one...

TecM0:



Don't mix things

Awolowo is Asiwaju of Yoruba land by Omo O'Odua and Afenifere

Tinubu is Asiwaju of Lagos by Oba of Lagos , Oba Onikan

LegendHero:


What’s with you guys and the word “Coward”?

Could it be that it was ingrained in your DNA due to the fact that Ojuku ran away disguised like a woman after leading his people to a path of doom?

If you see anyone on Nairaland using slaves, cowards, and etc out of context, then you can be 100% sure that they are from a certain part of the country!

baby124:

My father will never order children to be killed then run and hide. Only to call himself Jagaban. If this is your father figure then you are cursed. All the calamity that will befall him from killing other people’s children will also befall you!

CheGuevara101:


You guys should direct your grievances to Arewa, they are the ones that you have problem with not Igbos.

Lagoon0:


Awolowo is a Yoruba man to the core with lesser greed.

Lagos island king supported tinubu and people have forgotten the king dynasty ends on the island.

Tinubu robbed indigenes of political post and top appointment giving them to friend from other state. Then they go back to contest with our Lagos money in their state.

Tinubu frustrate every attempt of our sons becoming governor so he'll maintain his hold in Lagos .

Ambode came representing Lagos east and they kicked him out. Despite Lagos east complaint of marginalization and clamouring for Lagoon state.

Lagos island youth have woken up and chase their oba out of palace. Tinubu has little or no power from lekki down to epe, his powers are Lagos island and Ikeja because majority there are not Lagos ibile .

So don't compare tinubu to awolowo the difference are uncountable.

Youth that have protested peacefully for almost two weeks? Two incongruent statements just to sound politically correct and please your slavemasters even with a dastard incident like the Lekki shootings & killings? Well,Tinubu is one blinded by ambition and was ready to compromise anything to get it.You only harbour love, which borders on obsession, for your vain and lofty ambition to rule Nigeria.

Go to St Nicholas and Reddigton hospitals in lekki axis , ask any doctor there.

You are not the one that took him to the position where he reached, and you cannot decide his fate with mere words.

Asiwaju omo olodo ide, Jagaban of Borgu!

You de write rubbish. No head or tail. You must be talking to your father.

CheGuevara101:


You see your coward life! Tinubu was referring to the Fulanis the same people he helped to displace his southern brethren and the same people who are hell bent in destroying his political career but because of your slavery mentality you choose to pick on Igbos who have no hands in your misfortunes. Sebi it was Arewa that accused Tinubu of sponsoring the protest? You people should go and confront the Fulanis na instead shouting Yeebos Yeebos upandan.

He climbed your head and others like you to get to where he is today. You can see a picture for yourself below

What did Arewa do to me? Why should your enemy be my enemy?

Just one or two reported casesl of death. Blank bullets don't kill except in rare occasions when directed specifically to the head or delicate parts of the body. No massacre in Lekki toll gate

greggng:
Tinubu is a wise man . He knew where those attacking him are coming from . Pls check the number 12 point he made. His political enemies have a hand in the problem he has. Igbos don't hate you ....igbos love industrious people who bring real development to anywhere they are found . They are peace lovers ..,that is why tbey invest their resources anywhere they found themselves ...Anywhere they found themselves is a home to them. My happiness is that tinubu actually know those behind his ordeal ...There effort aimed at bringing disharmony btw Yoruba and igbo won't work ...
