CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC UPDATE: COVID-19, TO ME, IS PERSONAL

-

To me, COVID-19 is not some scientific, medical, intellectual, or political itch that I must scratch. The death, devastation and ruin that Coronavirus has unleashed on the world is very personal.

Till date, this deadly virus has already claimed a member of my family and another one is convalescing from it. And our family's prayer is that no other person catches the disease or succumbs to it.

So, when you hear me talk about this pandemic, I'm coming from a painful place of personal loss and tragedy, and not some theoretical ego tripping.

YOU CAN’T LOVE NIGERIA & WANT BOLA TINUBU AS ITS PRESIDENT

By Akin Ojumu Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not a stranger to Nigerians. The man with the Graves Disease eyes has been around a long time. BAT is a vector of deadly viral disease of pandemic proportions. He is a parasite that takes over everything his hand touches.  The following is just a sample of what Bola Tinubu, allegedly, did to Lagos State: Number 4, Oyinkan Abayomi (Formerly Queens) Drive, Ikoyi – Valued at N450 Million A 5-bedroom detached house on one acre of land was Lagos State Governor’s guest house since 1979 Certificate of occupancy was signed and released to Tinubu by Fashola in 2007 26 Bourdillon Road, Ikoyi – Valued at N600 Million Originally claimed to be by Oando Plc Guest House, it was later acquired by Tinubu from Oando Lagos State Government paid to rebuild and renovate, it then purchased it from Tinubu for an undisclosed sum. Subsequently, the State handed the property back to Tinubu under the Pension Bill he signed into law shortly before Tinubu left office in 2

UNITED STATES v. BOLA TINUBU (CASE # 1:93-cv-04483)

In 1993, Bola Tinubu was a defendant in a case in the United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois, CIVIL DOCKET FOR CASE Number 1:93-cv-04483. The case involved drug related seizure of property. Bola Tinubu entered a settlement with the United States government. The presiding judge, Hon. John A. Nordberg, ordered that funds in the amount of $460,000 in account 263226700 held by First Heritage Bank in the name of Bola Tinubu be forfeited to the United States pursuant to 21 USC 881(a)(6) and 18 USC 981. Every Nigerian must ask himself the question, “Is this the man we want as president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria?” A man involved in a drug trafficking case, forced into settlement, and ordered to forfeit nearly half a million dollars in 1993 which is worth an equivalent of $1 million today. The destiny of Nigeria is at stake in this election. Choose wisely.

FACT CHECK: DID BOLA TINUBU CALL FOR REDUCTION OF NIGERIANS’ PURCHASING POWER?

By Akin Ojumu  With respect to Bola Tinubu’s presidential aspiration, my position is pretty clear. Those who’ve been following my various commentaries on this issue know very well that I’m not a fan of Bola Tinubu and his unscrupulous campaign to become the next president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.  My opposition to Bola Tinubu’s candidacy is visceral and intense. The man is a clear and present danger to the well-being of Nigeria, if he ever becomes president. BAT is an advanced metastatic cancer rapidly growing and spreading in the Nigeria polity. If the country must survive, this deadly cancer must be treated as all advanced cancers are treated; radical excision combined with several courses of radiotherapy and multiple cycles of chemotherapy cocktail in addition to the clearing of all associated lymph nodes. Now, there’s one thing I detest as much as Bola Tinubu’s presidential run, and that’s fake news. I cherish the truth, it’s the compass that guides us to safe shores. Wi
