Tinubu’s supporters are a very wicked set of people. These same people would never allow him to manage their companies. They would even consider it disrespectful to burden an elderly man who should be resting at home with his grandchildren.
But because of their hatred for Nigeria, they are comfortable telling him, “Just go and rest in Aso Rock. Even if Nigeria is burning, we don’t really care.”
What a wicked set of people!
Thank you, Governor Makinde. You are doing the Lord’s work.
Since Reno Omokri resumed in Mexico a few days ago, you have intensified your bombing and hustling, @SegunShowunmi. Please catch small sleep ohhh. Abeg, Tinubu has noticed you. No overwork yourself.
KWANKWASO AT 70: IT IS TIME TO PLAY POLITICS OF COMMON SENSE.
Dear Senator @KwankwasoRM ,
Happy 70th Birthday to you, a man whose political journey, particularly in Kano, has demonstrated that leadership can make a tangible difference in the lives of ordinary people. Your record in education, your pro-poor policies and your investment in the welfare of the less privileged have earned you a place in the political history of our country. These are not insignificant achievements, and they are precisely why I believe you still have a historic role to play in Nigeria’s future.
At 70, you must rise above the distractions of the moment and begin to think seriously about the bigger picture. Nigeria is approaching another defining political season, and the pendulum of power will inevitably swing again. If the North is to prepare effectively for its next opportunity to lead this country, it must do so through strategic thinking, political maturity and the building of bridges across the country.
Kwankwaso, you are a Northerner who can make a credible case for being trusted with the welfare of the people. Your record in Kano, particularly in education and policies directed at the poor, gives you a foundation upon which to build a much bigger national legacy. But you must not allow present political calculations to diminish that legacy.
My candid advice to you is this: step into the grassroots political shoes of the late President @MBuhari , and recognise the strategic value of supporting President @officialABAT at this moment in our national journey.
Buhari understood the political weight of the ordinary Nigerian, particularly the people of the North. His connection with the grassroots was a formidable political asset. You have your own record, your own constituency and your own strengths. The question is whether you will deploy those assets to build a sustainable national political future or expend them on an alliance that may not serve your long-term interests.
And this brings me to your present political association with Peter Obi. With all due respect to him, I believe you bring considerably more political experience, deeper executive credentials and a more extensive record of practical governance to the table. Why, then, should a man of your political stature hitch his future to a political arrangement in which his own experience and accomplishments risk being overshadowed? You should be setting the direction, not surrendering your political judgment to another man’s ambition.
Supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu does not require you to abandon your convictions or surrender your independence. It requires you to recognise the national interest, appreciate the importance of political stability and position yourself to contribute meaningfully to the next phase of Nigeria’s development. There is room for political competition, but there is also a time when wisdom demands cooperation.
At 70, your concern should be the people you have served, the people you still hope to serve and the political foundations you will leave for the next generation. The North needs leaders who can think beyond immediate grievances, build national alliances and prepare for the future without sacrificing the interests of their people today.
Kwankwaso, Kwankwaso! Leader sir, Egbon, it is time to reconsider the road you are travelling. Do not let the politics of the moment rob you of the opportunity to play a far greater role in the Nigeria that is emerging.
It is time to play politics of common sense.
Happy 70th Birthday Sir, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. May wisdom guide your next steps, may your experience serve the nation, and may your remaining years in public life bring greater progress to Kano, the North and Nigeria as a whole.

The Alternative.
I am sure you are tribalistic in your support, which is why you believe I must also be tribalistic in mine. You assume that the reason I support Peter Obi is because I am Igbo, even though I have never been to any of the southeastern states, I don't speak Igbo, my father is not Igbo, my mother is not Igbo, and I have no blood ties to the Igbo people.
Remove tribalism from your support for Tinubu, wash your face, put the records of Obi and Tinubu side by side, and do a comparative analysis.
And don't tell me Tinubu built Lagos, because he built nothing. Tinubu is only good at reaping where he did not sow. He reaped Jakande's glory and the glory of others who came after him.
If he really wanted to build and knew anything about building, he would have stayed in Osun and built Osun instead of running to Lagos to claim credit for investments and developments made by others, from the colonial era to Jakande's administration.
Having said that, you also know that Obi no dey give shishi, meaning I don't support him because of what I stand to gain personally. In short, Nigerians need Obi more than he needs our support.
I have never communicated with him, and neither has he communicated with me. I don't have his contact, I have never looked for it, and I don't need it.
The man should just deliver Nigeria from the total destruction Tinubu and the APC are driving the country towards, so that the child of a nobody can have a chance to build a decent life in Nigeria.
That is all, and nothing else.
Has the government finally defeated Boko Haram, ISIS, and other terrorist groups? Because for some time now, everywhere seems calm. Or is this just audio peace designed to whitewash Oga’s image ahead of the election, only for the bo bo bo to start again after the election?
Na questions I dey ask o!
With all due respect, sir, you have convinced me again today that you are an expert in many fields, including denial.
You clearly said here that once the economy stabilises and incomes start growing, you will introduce those taxes. Then, different independent media houses listened to what you said and independently reported your statement. Now, you have come back to call those reports fake news.
So, Arise News, The Sun, and TheCable all sat down, listened to you, and independently generated the same fake news against you at the same time?
Me dey shock ohh! Here is the link even in your youtube account. Do Nigerians now understand you than you understand yourself?

In my interview with ARISE News, I was clear: a fuel tax is not on the table.
"Having removed the fuel subsidy, it would be insensitive for government to impose a fuel tax at this time."
Some online reports have since twisted this message into a claim that government plans to introduce fuel taxes. That is FAKE NEWS.
Please disregard the misleading headlines and watch my remarks on the issue here: youtu.be/kybmEVAPLB8?si=GkFz…

This is why you must tell some people how to vote and who to vote for. After voting based on tribe, religion, and sentiment instead of performance, when the person they enthroned to destroy the country has left office, they will come back pretending they were unaware of what would happen or claiming they are sorry. By then, many people would have suffered, and some would have even died as a result of their decisions.
As for me, I will force my relative to make the right decision.
I think that political elite in this country really do not believe in free, fair, and transparent election. They just want to buy the votes of the people. They want to replace the people as the sovereign, and it is very unfortunate.

I no know the kind juju wey Tinubu take blind my Yoruba brothers, wey dem no fit see a kind-hearted man like Seyi Makinde to support am reach the centre. Instead, dem dey support a president wey no sabi him left from him right and no get empathy for human beings, who still dey use his image dey blackmail the good peopleof South West.
When your hater becomes your president, he won't care about your suffering, your pain, your injuries, or even your death. He believes he is more human than all of you and has the right to determine your very existence.
May the souls of those killed during #EndSARS rest in peace.
🚨 6 YEARS AGO TODAY! 🇳🇬
October 20, 2020 — During the historic #EndSARS protests, this is what Nigeria’s current president said.

Premium Times needs to investigate David Umahi’s certificates. He might be the next Anthony Kila I will dedicate a class to.
“This is exactly what we are talking about regarding the demarcation added to the Onitsha Head Bridge. This truck has broken down. How do you expect other vehicles behind it to move?”
-Motorists lament after a truck breaks down on the newly maintained Onitsha Head Bridge in Anambra State, raising concerns about the new road demarcation.
See the type of people we dey argue with online? For Lere to even drop his account details, knowing full well that many poor Nigerians need the money, means he has a begging spirit. Once you have that spirit, na anywhere belle face politics you go do. Wike's SA dragging pot of soup with street beggars? hmmmmm
“I told people to drop their account numbers for 1 million and APC supporters are also dropping thier accounts. Wike’s SA, Lere Olayinka also dropped his account number and I sent 1M Naira to him. This is to show that APC supporters are hungry. They’re all supporting this govt but still hungry”
Isaac Fayose drags Minister Wike’s Aid, Lere Olayinka
Sule dey protect his member from Arome, before church go empty na he drop his own manufactured experience 😂🤣😂🤣. I done tire for una serious.
I no really care again because una matter was settled long ago.
Matthew 13:24–30
*The words in brackets are my illustration of the passage.*
Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field {He planted genuine men of God to spread the gospel}. 25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds {fake pastors} among the wheat, and went away. 26 When the wheat {the genuine gospel took root and produced true believers} sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds {fake pastors also gained followers} also appeared.
27 “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed {genuine ministers} in your field? Where then did the weeds {fake pastors} come from?’
28 “‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.
“The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull {remove the fake pastors} them up?’
29 “‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds {removing the fake pastors}, you may uproot the wheat {sincere believers who mistake them for genuine pastors may begin to question Christianity itself and lose their faith} with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds {fake pastors} and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat {genuine ministers and the true believers their ministry has nurtured} and bring it into my barn.’”
