People don’t understand that corruption is a big deal that requires tough skin to fight. No one single government can eliminate corruption, it's sustained gradually. The corrupt people are very powerful, and they have resources to fight

It will take government time to reduce it

The last time, Tinubu got MAN OF THE YEAR AWARD, people criticised it.

Now, he got LIFETIME AFRICA ACHIEVEMENT AWARD far away Ghana, they continue the criticism.

I understand that it is a hard job to be humble and accept the truth that's been denied for long time. It takes great humility to shift from wrong beliefs even while the truth is evident .

With time, everybody will see the truth and no one will be able to deny it then. He should focus on his mandate.

There is no issue with world bank observation and suggestions, but the issue is with people who misinterprets everything negatively. Nigeria economy is big around Tech and financial sector which are more service base economy, but to build robust and inclusive economy, there is a need for other sectors to come alive. The other sectors like Agriculture, manufacturing which are production base will help more in job creation and boost the economy faster.

1 trillions economy is audacious, and it requires different shifts and adjustment. Government will play part and citizens will play part.....

Bola Ahmed Tinubu: The Embodiment of Greatness in Any Field

In the realm of leadership, especially within the context of African politics, few names spark as much debate and analysis as Bola Ahmed Tinubu. While many approach his legacy with emotional bias, sentiment, or tribal allegiance, a sober, real-life appraisal of his methods and results reveals a man who has not just participated in politics but has mastered it. Tinubu represents a kind of greatness that transcends political parties, public opinion, and even generational shifts. He is a man who deeply understands the raw materials of power: people.

At the heart of Tinubu's strategy is sincerity and negotiation. Unlike many who rise to prominence by overriding party structures or dismantling hierarchies, Tinubu has always played party politics to the core. He respects structure, upholds agreements, and, most importantly, understands the language of consensus. He doesn’t dictate; he negotiates. And not just at the surface level—his negotiations are so skillful that those on the receiving end often surrender with a smile, unaware of the full implications until later. That is not manipulation; it is mastery.

One only needs to examine the recent example of his dealings with Governor Nyesom Wike to appreciate the extent of his commitment to agreements. Wike, known for his fierce independence, has spoken well of Tinubu, not just because of personal gain, but because Tinubu honors deals. In a world where political agreements are often broken with the wind, Tinubu's consistency is rare.

Critics often mistake his silence for weakness. But this is a grave error. Bola Tinubu is not a man of public proclamations; he is a man of silent strategy. While the masses chatter on social media, Tinubu is meeting with the people who truly matter—the decision-makers, the influencers, the power-brokers. He does not court social media clout; he builds private influence. And in politics, that is what counts.

His treatment of opposition figures-turned-allies like Daniel Bwala and Reno Omokri further reveals his mature approach to relationships. He does not keep enemies. He understands that today’s adversary may be tomorrow’s ally. That kind of wisdom is not taught in books; it is developed through deep self-awareness, strategic foresight, and a genuine desire to build.

Ask those who have worked closely with him—they will tell you Tinubu is willing to spend hours listening to people who have little to offer in return. A 15-minute appointment could stretch into two hours. Not because he lacks time, but because he understands that attention is one of the most powerful currencies in leadership. From Asari Dokubo to former Southwest governors and countless mentees, Tinubu has repeatedly gone out of his way to people with his time, resources, and presence.

But perhaps the most defining trait of Bola Ahmed Tinubu is his God-like dream. Long before he became President, Tinubu had a dream so large it could intimidate the average man. But dreams without systems are hallucinations. Tinubu knew this. He studied what he needed, and he realized the currency of greatness is not money, or media attention, but people. He spent years studying how to win people—and he found the formula: negotiation, sincerity, and unwavering . Since discovering that, he has done one thing consistently—galvanize people. Not through fear, but through trust.

This is the true essence of greatness. It is not in flashy speeches or viral moments, but in consistent principles applied with patience and intelligence. In any field—be it politics, business, or leadership—those who rise to the top are those who understand and respect the power of people. Bola Ahmed Tinubu is one of them.

He is not perfect. No great man is. But in the harsh, real-life arena of leadership where many fail, Tinubu has thrived. And that makes him not just a successful politician, but a case study in greatness.

My observations

Oyewole Adeboye Adekunle

Igirigimercenar:
What kind of offer is tinubu giving to this people?

I mean I have never seen this kind of thing in my whole life

Not like the present istration is performing or even trying to perform, infact it is the worst istration I have seen so far on earth. So what is tinubu offering this people that the rest of us don't know about

Tinubu is offering nothing other than sincerity and negotiation. He is a man who plays party politics to the core by not overriding party structure and hierarchies. Tinubu will rather negotiate than dictate, and with his powerful negotiation skills you will have no choice to surrender smilingly without second guessing that you have giving away your right. From Wike's scenario, we should understand that he is always a man who is committed to agreement. From Daniel Bwala and Reno Omkri's scene, you will agree that he is not a man who keeps enemies. Monitoring him so far, you will observe that is not a man with public words but silence words(he meets and negotiate with people that matters and not social media noise makers). Tinubu is a man who for the benefit of making you allie and earn you, he can spend 3 hours listening to your jargons even when he does not need the words or will not use them(a request of 15min conversation will turn 1 to 2 hours with Tinubu.....cue from Reno and Bwala).
Tinubu can go out of his way to give you financially and attention.....cue from Asari Dokubo, some southwest governors between 2007 to 2015 and some of his mentees).
Above it all.......A man who has a God's like dream will surely achieve it( Tinubu had a big dream, and deeply and carefully spent years studying what he needed to achieve the dream, and he found out that everything he needed was PEOPLE, and he went on to study how he can win people to his side......after discovering the skills of winning people to his side which is majorly by negotiation, sincerity and , he just keep doing only that....galvanising people)

These and more place him above all

If we allow politicians to keep gaslighting us on every issues, we will abandoned all our responsibilities and keep expecting only government to do all.

If parents at home can not take the responsibility of helping their children read their books and limit social media time, nothing will change no matter government effort.

It is hard for children to focus on their books these days except there are some measures by the parents.

He's been there since 2016 pursuing a degree. He suppose have finished since 2022 if he is studying 6 years course but he chose to manipulate the system to stay longer. His time has come

lexy2014:


Did God tell JF Kennedy that his astronaut will be the first human to step foot on the moon before he did?

Brother, I understand your point. The word God told me or God reveals this to me is misused in Religious setting.

What Adeboye saw was imagination and revelation. If you operate in stillness, you can imagine and receive revelation about future.

The great Elon, Newton.....imagined it, got revelation about it, and they work to actualize it.

Africans dreams and revelations never receive action

That is voice of innovation and creativity. It's hard to realise such from Africa because we lack the mind and the will.
Many prophetic words are already achieved in creative countries.
If Adeboye said he saw people going to the Mars 20 years ago.....nobody will agree or accept in Africa, but Elon Musk in US will not only believe but accept and agree.

Human beings are powerful, we can achieve whatever we can carefully imagine.

I am not here to rate the song, because majority of songs out there does not have message too. What we have these days is beat and not message.

I love him for limitlessness. If you can think of it, you can do it.( power of dream and imagination)

Believeintruth:


Him being generous is not what we need in this country. His policies are impoverished Nigerians he is making blunders and you are here capping rubbish.

.

Did I mention generosity.
All the top presidential candidates said they will do all he did(subsidy removal and naira unification).

You expected these two policies to come easy or you think other candidates will handle it better or differently.

If you mind their pull it down words as political enemies, you never understand politics.
Non of them who do any different.

Majority of the people who hate Tinubu are either the ones who know him through stories narrated by his political enemies or those who hate him for his success and doggedness

Assumption is the lowest level of knowledge, and its twins is guess.

Too many assumptions about the man. We need to know that whatever you persecute grows, the more the hates the more the fame and popularity.

Common man is never in the picture.
The reasons for coalition are not primarily for the benefit of citizens, but for their ambitions.

Until we understand that politics is a huge game and a vehicle to governance we will not stop worrying about defections.

Politics is a game of number, so they need to align to have the numbers.

Nearly all politicians including Peter obi, and Gbadebo have defected at a point.

We have got to stop being emotional and stressed about defection because no one wins in isolation.

Know that APC is not the problem, but people[Nigerians] in APC.

APC =PDP=LP= there's.

The bokoharam and other terrorism war is stronger than world war because it's sponsored by untraceable people among the same community. Nobody is clean in that region because you can not trace the people who are fuelling and ing their day to day operations.

I hope state policing can help neutralise the whole issues because some of them might or be part of the ers

Baxilexi:
Austerity and fiscal responsibility is news to the African politician but it’s only pragmatic.
Every sensitive government responds to economic challenges by tightening the noose on expenditure whilst not sacrificing efficiency.

Bigmanism will not let our leaders follow suit.

It's tough to take that decision in Africa where there is no much of employment opportunities.
In current Nigeria where everybody is complaining, if you downsize as government, you're only calling for more problems.
Wisdom is profitable to direct. We can not always compare stable economy with ours.

If Tinubu interfere, they will say Nigeria government doesn't allow rule of laws. The judiciary is an independent arm of government, which means the people in charge of that arm should be able to decide base on interpretation of laws.
We've got to be serious and allow laws to take effect.

Concern lawyers can render service for Kanu if they feel they can defend him with evidences.
I don't think president should directly involve in the matter.

Angelfrost:
Office of the Senior Special Assistant to the President...!

SMH!!!

We say we are a poor country trying to be prudent financially, yet there are more silly appointments and offices than prospering nations.

What is the point of prudency when people who have the money are suffering. The holder of the office is certainly a Nigerian, his family and Friends who are all Nigerians will benefit.

If you're the holder of that office, you wouldn't say this

Sometimes, we get angry with some empowerment programs in the north, but how do we expect them to empower hold men/women with zero knowledge of mathematics, some of them can not add basic figures. Their government caged them by sheilding them from education, and they know their capacity; that's why goats and wheelbarrow becomes empowerment.

Northern leaders needs to free their people through proper education.

surgical:
This are all retrofits to save face ,each successive governments has been saving Nigeria from implosion, from going to extinction whenever they made poor economic decisions and we've never seen any improvement, Nigeria is a going concern that is not about to liquidate
Tells us if your government has stopped borrowing because of their 'genius ' policies
The revenue you are talking at what cost,it is just inflated by the high exchange rate
Removing subsidy at that time and increasing how much the government sells forex was not a smart move
It is clear the policies have no positive impact on the lives of people except the imaginary achievements that are not visible to anyone

Can you listen to the video well

He was trying to say that Tinubu needed guys who can audibly, clearly, articulately preach robust message around the Reforms. He acknowledged the need for the reforms because he propagated it during his term as CBN governor.


But, we need to understand that politics is a game. There many silent words he used in between the message; he said the government is his friend but they are not behaving like his friend. He expected the government to consult people like him to help model strategies on how to sell the reforms to Nigerians for them to calm down and the reforms.

He was just pouring his anger because the current government did not invite people like him for him.
Government can not always invite everybody

OgbeniOja1:
block heads he simply said they are not selling Tiniubus policies well.
They should begin publishing and explaining the policies so that when you tell Nigerians to give the president time, they know why.

You got his message perfectly well and I credit you for that because many people do not take their time to listen to the message or listen to the end.

Sometimes, those words denigrates and a smart politicians we take lessons from it and quickly attack the bad portion of it.

Mind you, I was laying emphasises on politics...it's a deep game, and you must always be on top of your game all time.

This your headline is not peculiar to Nigeria. All over the world, school education never culminate success, you have got to add real life experience either while you're working in one organisation or you go through practical training. What make difference in developed world sometimes is their exposure to platforms such as YouTube and others where some of them learn beyond classroom, or got information on what to focus and where to learn beyond class, but because Africa is still struggling with easy access to Internet, it make it difficult for people to have more information beyond class.

I used to think MBA is all I needed to scale my business until I travelled and realised everything I needed can be sorted online.
We need more Internet access in Africa

bixton:



There's something in the bolded that you've written that is really out of place !!!!
It brings to mind, those individuals who think having BVN, National ID card, Drivers license, International port, NIMC would reduce insecurity in the nation!!!!!

Well, I will never discard any view or opinion during conversation(not argument).
The context of BVN, National ID, DL, international port and NIMC speaks more to Data gathering than security, but it also help in Security too which I am so sure it's helping already, but their purpose is not solely to reduce security.

NIN is for social .
BVN is to monitor financial transactions(financial security)
Drivers licence is to ascertain that you've gone to driving school or training.
National ID is to ascertain your Nationality( this can help to curb illegal migration)

Thank you

bixton:



What manner of revenue can it generate and can it be used to pay the staffs who would be employed for just the national carrier alone as well as it's maintenance?

It's gonna generate revenue just like Airpeace is generating money and staffs will be paid from it.

Any government who understands how to run partnership with private entities can easily manage businesses and generate revenue.

But know that it's to create jobs and project country's image rather than generating revenue alone

National carrier is one of the faces of a nation, they use it to project national image. When a plane landed in another country with the country name boldly written on it, no one will see the name and not mention or read it; so it is a way of putting Nigeria print everywhere the plane reach.

That previous government failed to handled it well doesn't mean another government can not take care of it well....

Refineries is a case study

UncleAyo:
The best solution that will solve atleast 60% of terrorism in Nigeria is to educate our people about the fakery of these imported religions. Especially Islam and Christianity - Abrahamic religions.

We will keep having new terrorists unless people are made to understand through intentional campaigns about how fake and ridiculous these religions are.

It's a two edged saw, we've got to flush out the irredeemable ones and educate the redeemable ones......we need to sustain the two for sometimes before we focus on the education part. The north is destroyed with brainwashed illiterate unrepentant guys

Until youth form alliance in different state and start demanding ability from governors, all of these shenanigans will continue.

We have abandoned the state to focus solely on federal. We need to shift focus and follow the governors on different projects and assignments

I am confused about this, because I am sure every public schools in south West are free up until SS3, except PTA/development level which is like 1k per term.

I attended public schools from primary to secondary and they were all free.

Are we saying some region are not running free education yet?

I am confused

Majority of Nigerians are like this Rep member. The ones who are not acting like this yet are waiting for power to start their drama. It's pathetic in Nigeria that almost everybody is an oppressor. We hid our parents, brothers, uncles and relatives who are killing Nigeria but keep complaining about the president or governor. Our problem is big and it's engrain in our root.
May God help the system
