President Tinubu’s self-serving speech--which basically sang his own praises, said he'd heard the people's anguished cries but won't do anything about the cries and then threatened that the people shouldn't cry for much longer or they'd be crushed-- signposts the making of an unfeeling tyrant.

If the people close to him don't stop him and the masses of the people let him get away with it, he'll transmogrify into a terrifyingly ruthless monster that may end Nigeria as we know it.

A famous Arabic proverb goes: "They asked the Pharoah, 'What made you a tyrant?' He said, 'No one stopped me.'"

The proverb tells us about the psychology of power that I've written about in past columns. Subordinates flatter people in power, copy their ways, and shield them from the harsh truth about them. This sycophantic drooling by subordinates makes leaders lose touch with reality.

The truth Tinubu must know is that the current hardship in Nigeria is not survivable. This is not an issue of political partisanship.

There's no alternative to restoring petrol and electricity subsidies. Energy security is national security.

He should give another speech to restore the subsidies whose removal created the conditions that power the protests. Simple.

Those praising him for pay per post will now come and said Kperogi is unfair.
While those tribal fanatics will arrive here very soon to call him IPOB or that he has Igbo mother or father

Farooq is just projecting his fears. Tinubu is a leader with a vision, and his tough love approach is necessary for real change. People need to adapt, not whine. Let’s trust the process and our president in making the hard decisions for a better Nigeria.

Tinubu destiny is to destroy Nigeria.

I'm proud pbat didn't make the mistake Ruto made: u can't please the 'pleaseless'.
The moment you are acceding to one bogus demand thinking that they'll be more reasonable, they will shift the goal post and add more bogus ones.

Imagine, they even demanded for the unconditional release of terrorists.
Laslas they will tell him to resign

This man's frustration is somehow to me. Like most of PBAT'S deluded ers who thought wishes were horses. We told them 'antecedents' matter, they chose propaganda instead. Tinubu is who he has always been (a kleptomanianc and authoritarian democrat). People are only just seeing him for who he is today. Unfortunately, the ship has sailed for the next 3 years.

Tinubu is a devil incarnate who's all out to destroy this country and frustrate Nigerians but God will put him to shame

Una just Dey find out?

When the real Lagosians rejected him, they were tagged Omo Ale Yoruba, as if Eguns and Aworis are from Oyo.

Hehehehehehehe

Tinubu doesn't have the grace to understand the principle of good leadership.

Trash!

Na wah! Farooq don enter another realm of imagination again.

Tyrant ke? I no fit understand how dem dey see Tinubu like that. Meanwhile, Peter Obi dey run around like say him no get direction, always trying to chase shadows.

Make we no forget say na Tinubu dey carry Nigeria forward, while some people just dey play politics of bitterness.

Farooq should better focus on real issues instead of this baseless accusation.

Una wailing and crying have just begun

Cry cry baby
No gain after all
The food must go round

helinues:

Repeating same old boring babablu bulabu.

Last year you said wailing has begun, today you are saying it has begun.
Dem no teach you English for school?

I'm laughing because he will only self-destruct.

Farooq Kperogi's perspective is quite extreme. Tinubu is simply navigating a complex political landscape. Every leader faces criticism, but we must recognize the efforts being made to stabilize Nigeria. Let’s give him a chance to implement his vision for the country.

Buckets or storage tank?

Yes

Tinubu is not a democrat

Tinubu is a notorious narcotics drug trafficker engaging in criminal state capture

Has anyone bothered to ask OP for a link before roasting Kperogi?

I checked in Google and only direct hit is this thread we are discussing. Nothing anywhere else. Unusual for any Kperogi article.

Abeg, where is the link OP?

Tinubu is a visionary leader, not a tyrant. Critics will always have something to say, but the progress he’s making speaks for itself. Let’s focus on the development and unity he’s bringing to the nation instead of spreading negativity. Change takes time, and we are on the right path!

When a leader like (Tinubu) does not have solution to give to his people who are demanding for food to survive, he gives them bullet. Very sad.

When a leader (like Tinubu) does not have solution to give to his people who are demanding for food to survive, he gives them bullet. Very sad.

One of the easiest solutions to the current economic quagmire Tinubu has thrown Nigeria into is the dissolution of this non-productive kwontry.

An agbero is always an agbero. The drug master and certificate forger has nothing to offer.

The protest has PDP written all over it. Though APC fears LP more because they know why they gave them third yet are more concerned about the third guys than the second guy. Kperogi, to me, is a PDP guy.

He wants to become emperor like he is in Lagos state.


And Yorubas think they are doing him a big favor by foolishly ing and defending his nefarious policies instead of correcting him to change course, na time go tell

This seems very much unlike the way Farooq writes. Can the OP attach any link to this for verification?!

Farooq just dey talk anyhow, as if him no sabi say TINUBU na man wey get vision for Nigeria future. Na only people wey no understand governance go call am tyrant.

Confirmed noisemaker. What would you call the UK prime minister who went directly after the protesters in UK and outrightly condemned them?

Talkative
