WHO DO YOU FANCY FOR NIGERIA’S PRESIDENT?

-

By Akin Ojumu

Peter Obi’s detractors say he is a stingy man. I’m forced to agree with them. 

The man’s stinginess was on full display at the Chatham House, London, on Monday where he fielded questions on why he wants to become the president of Nigeria and how he intends to lead the country should he win in next month’s presidential election.

Very much unlike the Jagaban Emilokan Chicago Cartel with the teamship spirit who generously contracted out his questions to aides, Peter Obi refused to share the questions with anyone at the Chatham House press conference. He proceeded to answer them all by himself.

So, who would you like to see become the next president of a terminally ill Federal Republic of Nigeria, a nation on life support in the Intensive Care Unit?

The candidate who, in the spirit of “good teamship” and in order to avoid embarrassment on the international stage, outsourced all the press conference questions to his coterie of aides? Or a candidate who selfishly hoarded the questions and answered them all eloquently and intelligently on his own?

Who does the presidential cap fit? 

A urinary incontinent drooling dotard who generously outsourced his press conference questions to aides to answer? Or a sharp as a tack brainiac who astutely and knowledgeably answered all the questions by himself?

Of these two, who do you think Nigeria needs at this critical juncture of its existence? 

Is it a man who obviously doesn’t understand the issues and is devoid of answers for the myriads of issues plaguing Nigeria? Or the man who has apparently given much thought to the questions and has come up with ready made solutions specifically tailored to the issues?

Which of them is better suited to resuscitate Nigeria and move the country forward towards a brighter future? 

A barely alive candidate who is on life support himself? Or one who is mentally and physically fit for the job?

These are the questions Nigerians must answer next month. Your response says a lot about you, and it is a window to the recesses of your soul. Whether or not you care about Nigeria will be revealed by how you respond. What you answer reveals what you really think about Nigeria’s future and the destiny of it’s people.

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

BECAUSE JOB DIDN’T TITHE, HIS LIFE BECAME TIGHT

By Akin Ojumu Being the trust-but-verify guy that I am, while fact-checking a social media post by one of my High School friends, in which Bishop David Oyedepo was quoted to have linked the adversity of Job to his tithing habit, I was shocked, but not at all surprised, to find a 2019 video that did indeed confirm what my good friend shared.  In Bishop Oyedepo's telling, the real cause of Job's afflictions was his failure to pay tithes. According to him, God removed Job's divine security and allowed Satan to buffet him with calamity because the man was a habitual tithe defaulter. Because Job didn't tithe, his life became really tight. Here is the Bishop in his own words: “You can't see anywhere where Job tithed. So, his blessing was not secured. You can't find anywhere where Job tithed. No! He was overly committed to giving liberally to the poor and God was committed to bless him. But there was no security.” Just so it's absolutely clear. Bishop Oyedepo's

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
