Just like the rest of the great unwashed Yorubas, their political elites are congenitally hypocrites, filthy folks, and reactionary politicians whose educational background has nothing to bear on their hollow, shallow, and hypocritical cosmopolitanism.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the head of the corrupt Odudua oligarchs, is undoubtedly one of the most despicable Nigerian politicians alive. He obviously controls a vast political, cultural, financial, and media capital of southwestern states.
The man is so dubious that many people say that he isn’t biologically related to the Tinubu family, which he shamelessly affixes the name to himself. A man who can renounce his biological roots will, without a doubt, auction off Nigeria to the highest bidder.
Voting for Tinubu is perspicuously akin to jumping out from frying pan into the fire. Buhari has given Nigerians a clue for those who care to understand: that we should vote for Tinubu to continue where Buhari has backed off! Buhari being a person who possesses cluelessness genetically and is the most clueless president in Nigeria’s entire history, he has no business giving voters a clue. But if we ignore Buhari is at our own peril. The message, not the messenger.
It is only a dead, insensitive, Buhari worshipper, and lunatic person that will vote for Tinubu. At the age of 99, Tinubu should go and rest, not to seek to rule an already ruined, multi-religious, multi-ethnic, fragile, polarized, economically crippled, and volatile polity like Nigeria.
The uncouth, bitter, crystal clear, and uncomfortable truth is that Tinubu, like Buhari, is neither physically, mentally, intellectually, politically, nor emotionally fit to govern this poverty capital of the world.
While holding an APC presidential flag, Tinubu was visibly and uncontrollably shaking; he was demonstrably faltering to hold the flag; he had to be evidently assisted to hold it as he grinned to lead some credulous Nigerians to perdition. If he were to be left alone to fly the flag, the flag would have certainly dragged him on the ground like a dead dog.
Tinubu’s alarmingly degenerating physical health is really frightening. It was widely reported and, of course, with undeniably pictorial corroboration where this scrap, crap, and expired politician called Tinubu urinated in his babban riga. Tinubu indeed has no business to lead Nigeria in Aso Rock. He should be medically confined and committed to a hospital― paediatric ward for that matter.
Tinubu is categorically on his way to beat the dozing off record of Ganduje at public occasion. Many photographic proofs have emerged physically showing Tinubu taking a siesta. We seriously need a democratic leader, not a sleeptocrat. Imagine Tinubu as President and Ganduje as his Chief of Staff. I don’t know who will wake one up if one of them dozes off. It will be a sleeptocracy, which I define as the government of sleepers, by sleepers, and for sleepers. It seems Tinubu and Ganduje are suffering from sleeping sickness.
The Yoruba political elites have for eons looked down on other politicians who happen to be not from their fold―whether politically, ideologically, geo- culturally, educationally, or economically. They are seen by some gullible Nigerians as progressive, refined, educated, or civilized. No, they aren’t. They only have a big mouth to rant using the media houses Tinubu has questionably established.
Just like the rest of the great unwashed Yorubas, their political elites are congenitally hypocrites, filthy folks, and reactionary politicians whose educational background has nothing to bear on their hollow, shallow, and hypocritical cosmopolitanism.
Igbos are naturally straightforward people. I’ve never met an Igbo person who is a hypocrite. But I have interacted with countless Yorubas who are unrepentant hypocrites.
Igbos are intellectually rooted, socially wise, economically enterprising, culturally democratic, and naturally productive.
When Tinubu becomes a president, he will run a government of the Yorubas, by the Yorubas, and for the Yorubas― that is, a Yorubacracy.
Well, he has unfortunately learned this political insularity, cultural particularism, administrative homogeneity, and colorless cabinet in government from Buhari. Tinubu may even reward Sunday Igboho with a juicy political appointment to mollify the loud-mouth Yoruba sub nationalists.
It was Buhari who first implemented the most lopsided government in the entire history of Nigeria, prompting Kperogi to call it “Arewacentricity.”So Tinubu will continue with this boneheaded provincialism as one of the abiding terrible legacies Buhari will hand over to him, albeit differently, for Tinubu’s will be Yorubacentricity.
Tinubu has fishy sources of income. There are slew of big question marks dangling on his neck. He publicly bragged that he was richer than Osun State, his natal state. No wonder some of the southwestern states governors have been literally installed by him. In other words, some of them are his stooges. Hence, they have to open their states’ coffers for him to siphon their money to his heart desire.
He financially supported them, so they must repay him with loads of interest. During his Olumo theatrical performance, he publicly disparaged a serving governor of Ogun State by the name of Dapo Abiodun. He belittled the governor with his arrogant remarks.
Now, Tinubu will come out all with his political, media, and financial weapons; he knows 2023 general election will be his first and last presidential political war. It is a do-or-die affair for this desperate man; it’s by hook or by crook, or both!
It’s a political dilemma for us Nigerians. If this outmoded gerontocrat wins, then Nigeria will violently implode and hasten Afghanistanization of Nigeria. It will terribly disintegrate into seven hundred and seventy four sovereign countries.
If, however, he woefully fails, then it’s him, if he is lucky to be alive after the horrible loss; he will either be in psychiatric hospital or will suffer paralysis till the end of his life.
Don’t even mention Atiku to me. He and Tinubu are two political peas in a corrupt pod. If not desperation of confused, corrupt, conservative, and senile politicians, what are we going to do with these male crones?
It is the desperation-induced political friction between Tinubu and Atiku that will destroy all their votes. In other words, they will commit suicide politically. 2023 is the end of their political road which they have trudged for many years in futility.
Prepare the podium for President Peter Obi come May 29, 2023. The age of Arewa aristocratic politicians is over; the epoch of Odudua oligarchs is over, too. It is time for Igbo presidency.
John F. Kennedy, one of the most famous America’s presidents, said: “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” Those who will make Igbo political revolution in 2023 impossible will make violent secessionist revolution inevitable!
