If Buhari is Statism,I am still thinking about what Tinubu’s presidency should be.
I have not been able to hear anything remotely intelligent when asked for opinions on policy, as I follow all his outings on social media so far.
The exception is his youths go back to farming and the army should recruit 50 million youths to end employment.
There’s no “mystery” to him. He’s literally Buhari but Ikoyi-flavoured.
Maintains his political order using thuggery and feudalist tactics, has spent most of his life living off public money, has no ideas for governance beyond expanding the state and raising taxes…that’s all.
We must begin to name names of these political masquerades as 2023 is approaching.
By the time Nigerians finally understand what Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his political progeny are to Nigerians as he was in Lagos if elected president,they would have discovered,what Buhari is exactly and presently to Nigeria– a lazy, extractive, mendacious parasite ,who would have completely devasted Nigeria and its economy.
The “Tinubu built Lagos” crowd should give us a break.They will never understand no matter how simple the explanation.
I have argued against this hero worship of Tinubu and his ‘visionary blueprint’ of Lagos many times,but his supporters even on the streets are adamant ,that our present day Lagos is as a result of his vision,and I dare not criticize otherwise you will have to leave the state for them.
Lagos is literally the engine of Nigeria’s economy and benefits from having the productive capacity of the entire country poured into it.It virtually runs itself.
The question is; what exactly has this “fraud” and his successors accomplished?
Lagos remains a poorly governed state where their leaders compare and compete with PortHarcourt and Kaduna,instead of benchmarking Johannesburg, Dubai, Amsterdam or Singapore even Nairobi at the minimum.
Lagos State with its heavy IGR should stop competing with Bauchi,Oturkpo or Lafia.This is so because Tinubu is eating Lagos dry.
Whenever such issues are raised his attack dogs begin to bark.Regardless of how far ahead Lagos is compared to the rest of the country, can we say that the progress it has made is commensurate to the revenue generated?.How about the public resources turned private property?.Which is shameful.
If you listen to Lagosians from Badagry,you will have a clearer picture of what Tinubu is doing in Lagos.The champions for the liberation of Badagry must masquerade,if not…..
The fear of Tinubu is the beginning of wisdom.
If it so happened that Nigeria splits into several nations today,the most brutal war within the Oduduwa nation ,will be the battle to try and wrest Lagos from Tinubu’s stronghold.
The age long brutal wars between the sub ethnic groups like Ife/Modakeke will sound like ego and superiority quarrels in comparison.
Tinubu is more into Vladimir Putin’s style
– gansterism.
– Jagabandit
He maintains Lagos through violence,bribes and inducements.
If he becomes President,his son will be in charge of our information ministry or the media to tell us what we should eat everyday.
Someone who has held a state that was built from the hardwork of patriotic and empathic leaders like Jakande to hold Lagos ransom with thuggery and godfatherism has nothing to offer Nigerians.He should never near ASO ROCK.
A man who for 20 years has the Lagos money pouch and all his three cronies , have not turned Lagos to Dubai,or to an infrastructural masterpiece,yet his wants to be the President of Nigeria with all the slums in Lagos.God forbid!!
As you ask some peeps why they so adore Tinubu and you will see them foaming in the month.
Listen to them. “Shey na jagaban you dey talk so,God handover Lagos to him!”.And that is all . Nothing more and nothing less .This is under the influence of alcohol or “smoke”.
The problem in Lagos is that until Lagosians get their political priorities right , Lagos will remain his playground.
Many of these peeps are comfortable with the crumbs he feeds them with.They can never challenge nothing or try to demand accountability in any form untill thy kingdom comes.
Let the slaves of Lagos continue to defend their master who cares!!
Funsho Williams would have stopped all the Jagabantis on his tracks if he was alive.
He must be turning in his grave now.
