You think its as easy to deal with the cabals like u will did to the poor masses? when u have money and influence to some level u become outlaw and it gonna take only a wise and crazy fellow to deal with u tactically. What Tinubu is doing is fighting this people. if not why are the nothern elders crying out loud because of his policies. from the LG autonomy to tax reform bill nd relocating some CBN division to Lagos etc... just that when two elephants are fighting the grass suffer it the most. To me Tinubu is the only president that has the interest of the poor in mind. if he is that selfish as u people claim walahi he will do as u people want just to gain ur for next election but Jagaban didn't care about if he loss or won next election he only want to set things right. now many of his critics are seeing the good side of him. it a matter of time that we all will him

A brave person fights with people that are in his level of strength.

He should have gone for the so called cabal. This same man opposed vehemently the removal of subsidy by another president in 2012. He said the government then should tackle the problems in the subsidy regime and not the subsidy itself.

Why can’t he do the same when he assumed power. That’s supposed to be the best thing to do instead of suffering the entire masses to no end.

LGA autonomy isn’t opposed by the Northerners as you claim. It was even some governors from the South West that opposed it and took the case to court.

The man is not as brave as you claim him to be.

rinzaugustine:
Even Ghanaians and Niger etc now know tinubu is a colossal failure. Nothing good will ever come out of a stolen mandate

Sorry for your loss. Go and drink Gaari. Another December is around the corner. The useful people are building houses and starting business while you are waiting for your gods obi to be your president. Dream that will never come to

It's expected that you would say something absolutely senseless so we're not surprised.

Jonathan was the president of Federal Republic of Nigeria same as Tinubu today. Same policy but one chicken out like coward and priotized reelection over necessity. Jonathan also had choice to stick to his guns just like Tinubu but he chickened out. Should i, or Tinubu or other Nigerians who protested be blamed for his cowardice? Or u people don't have brain ni? Abeg shift

What you want is militocracy, not democracy. You want a dictator who doesn't care whose ox is gored. One who lacks empathy and will not carry his people along because he is making the best decision for them. One who thinks he owes them no ability and is a god. I was a critic of Jonathan too but there's nothing he did that these guys have not done worse and that's the biggest sign of hypocrisy and cowardice, not bravery. The gentleman was even courageous enough to host townhalls on the subsidy debate, and I Jonathan was told to fix the refineries. The ACN propaganda machine was so strong, they seized the opportunity to destroy dialogue and progress of the nation for their own selfish benefits. Those are not heroes to me, they are liars.

seguntijan:
Yesterday, I read a story about Ghana’s first president, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, and how he was overthrown.

When it happened, people in the streets of Accra were celebrating.

But Nkrumah, watching from the side, didn’t understand.

Let me know your thoughts. It's a tricky question, and every leader faces this challenge.

How do you think Nkrumah could have handled this better?
Leaders must strike a balance between the two. Basic needs must take priority. Leaders are elected based on the manifesto they campaigned on. Manifesto must have phrases of immediate priorities & long-term priorities.

Do you know PDP had the subsidy removal in their manifesto and ACN was aware? Please tell me another thing sir. I did not make this up. Watch the full video here

A good leader is the one who knows the way and determines to lead people through it, irrespective of the challenges. Succumbing to whims and caprices of your followers (people who your are supposed to show the way) is a sign of weakness and lack of direction. The end justifies the means. The road to freedom can never be smooth and followers are bound to complain. A good leader who knows the way will never compromise at the murmuring of people who are meant to follow him. The end will justify the means. Moses in the bible, and other world reformers have all gone through what Bola Ahmed Tinubu is going through, he will deliver just like them. We the majority understand with him and are not in hurry. The minority can always have their wailing, we understand. The next election will prove him wrong or right.

It will shock those that believe in go to court. 2027 is fast approaching

u think its a boxing fight that u can just fight in a ring. u know how powerful those cabals are? even if u bring 7 Putin, 7 Trump dem no ft win this cabals not to talk of Tinubu. if u know how complex politics is, u wont b talking like dz.

Ordinary Sch politics we dey run sef we almost die of pressure from stakeholders and the school authorities nd yet nothing can be done to beat them bcus the real power is actually in there hand while we executive are just figurehead

You are still getting it wrong. Whatever he wrote there. Bola Tinubu then, was a follower just like all other Nigerians, Goodluck Jonathan was our leader. Jonathan was supposed to show us the way, Tinubu should not be held responsible for his failures, Tinubu was also just a common follower and wailer back then. Jonathan carries the blame for abandoning his good policies just bcs of political expediencies. Now Tinubu is the Leader and he is showing capacity to lead even in tough decisions irrespective of his political fortune. That's a Leader. Why didn't Tinubu also chicken out despite all the hunger protests nationwide? That's the difference. There is a saying that when u solve one problem, u will create another one. His own solutions to Nigeria's perennial problems will not come without another problem. He will eventually set the prosperity way for the country. The end justifies the means.

You are even wasting your energies on people with low intelligent quotient. Let him mention one past president who has fought cabals and status quo as Bola Ahmed Tinubu. All of them including Obasanjo, Yaradua, Jonathan, Buhari avoided the oil cabals, dollar cabals, Northern cabals, status quo cabals. Only Tinubu has faced them and conquered and u are there calling him coward. Obasanjo, Yaradua, Jonathan and Buhari all avoided the issues of Oil subsidy, Dollar subsidy, Restructuring, State governments demystification, LG Autonomy, Resource control which are the real sources of Nigeria's problems. Someone has come after all these issues one after the other unapologetically and these dumbs are there calling him coward. What do we then call all his predecessors?

Despite all the mockery, dehumanizing name-calling, and dramatization of his burial, Jonathan's prioritization of citizens' lives by not allowing them to be slaughtered in the name of protests--something your paymaster failed to do a few months ago regarding his desire to remove the fuel subsidy—is being termed cowardice by you. In that case, you are even worse than your paymaster and Satan himself. Why didn't your paymaster allow them to protest in peace? You and people like you seriously need urgent and mandatory brain surgery.

But u are ing the agulu man who put Anambra money into his own family bank for self enrichment at the impoverishment of his own people. Pandora papers exposed him. You are also praising Jonathan who used his wife mama peace and other family to corner the nation's wealth by building airline and different five star hotels and estates in Abuja and other parts of the world. Tinubu is the evil, those ones are saints

Jonathan is a coward bcs the protest that came up doing his time was sponsored by oppositions. He gave in to them and chicken out like a coward. Same thing happened to Tinubu, the protest was sponsored by oppositions, he knew it and quelled it, nipped it in the bud. That's the difference. Where are those people inviting Russia again? His own was even more brutal having international undertone compare to ordinary Ojota protest that consumed the coward u called a president.

"Buy for himself " is he taking the plane and car home when he leaves office?

Svoboda:
The fg is sitting on its own hubris and thinks events in Ghana are too far fetched. I always become a bit fearful when the north is spearheading opposition. They made tinubu, they can also mar him electorally. But as usual, his appointees are swimming in the sea of arrogance.

The talk of the north opposing him is overstretched and exaggerated. Even if tinubu loses, it will be narrowly

I'm a yoruba man here and not a tribalist. So u are following Tinubu cos he is a yoruba man. I can now see that you are such a very greedy and self-centered person. I voted Tinubu for desired change and that's what I expected until he started derailing with his evil reform. The worst currently is his stand on making few in his government Happy at the expense of the masses. The evil you guys are doing will surely consumed you.

I will reply you in Asiwaju, Leader of the Progressives words back then;

Nigeria in Jonathan is confronted with a government “on top of the people” rather than a “government for the people”. It is as if Jonathan has turned from president to pharaoh and has decreed that the people make bricks without straw. What manner of leader has he become? I don’t know. However, there is only one just way out of this distress. Government must modify the sudden and complete removal of the subsidy. Either we restore the subsidy or use the funds for other social purposes. If we are to use the funds for other programs, those programs shall be placed on parallel track with the subsidy. As more of these programs are ready to go on line, then the subsidy can be lifted in phases. In this way, the public is assured government will not lower its total expenditure on their behalf, thus maintaining the spirit central to the social contract. Fuel price increases will be moderated so as not to cause extreme economic distress. And the people will see and feel the benefit of the alternative programs at the same time of the cost increases, thus further blunting the adverse impact of those increases. Until this change occurs, the people must remain vigilant or else we will sink under the weight of what the federal government has done.

Signed: Asiwaju Tinubu, January 8, 2012.

Go and google the meaning of Asiwaju. 'Follower' indeed.

If u like be an agulu man and vote for Sowore . And if you like, call me tribalist bcs I voted for Tinubu, na u sabi! I voted for him bcs he has shown capacity from his antecedence to lead Nigeria out of her present predicaments. Lagos was his testimony. None of the other candidates have anything close to that be it Atiku or Obi. I cant leave someone i saw firsthand his capacity and follow someone with no track record. You have your conviction and I also have mine. Why should my own turn to tribalism? I know u are Pandora follower but i will pretend as if u are not
We who truely voted for Tinubu know him very well, we know his capacity and we understand his policies mean well for Nigeria. It is just a journey to an expected end. We are not in hurry

Tinubu was just a wailer back then, only one citizen. Could only him have stopped Jonathan from implementing the reforms he so much believed in? Then Jonathan was a weakling

surgical:
He is partisan he did not say anything meaningful probably because he is not well informed or he is looking at things from tribal or political affiliation, Tinubu policies are not well thought out,they are deform not reform as you can see,he is just a king of IGR not fit for a nation
I am surprised you guys cannot see that the method he is using has never worked in any part of the world before,the result is always disaster but because your Lord cannot be wrong, you are hoping for a miracle that will not happen
Let Tinubu come down from his high horse,and reverse his deforming policies

So he is wrong for decentralizing army base.

He was wrong for tax reform.
He was wrong to make refinery work.
He was wrong to change d style of leadership that is making Nigeria co.plain for year .
He was wrong this and that what did u really want


In the history of Nigeria till date people do say Nigeria is a bad country so who might change it to be good

Just like he narrowly won. The NW crowned Tinubu. I like him as a person and as a shrewedpolitician. My problem with them now is the sheer arrogance of the southwest axis and them always talking down on Buhari.

I know you choose to be cynical but let's leave it as it is. Arab spring was around that period and both local and international sponsors could cripple the Jonathan government. Or is it the enemies within who worked for their own selfish interests? Or what did the Governors do about NOI's advice to save foreign reserves? You don't just analyse topics without contexts, that will be mischief. There is no need to keep justifying what should not be. Time is a good revealer of things.

Ordinary governors discarded Jonathan programme for foreign reserves savings and he couldn't do anything but chickened out and will come back to blame the governors for his own lack of political wheel? These same governors are the ones today running helter and skelter to save themselves from Tinubu's programmes of LG Autonomy, Tax bill, Resource control etc. You sef think am, u be coward?
