Ikhide,
You vomited a lot of bile here. Your sniggering and hollow laughter will haunt you. You suffer selective amnesia. The same Yorubas you collectively punish with your vile words voted heavily for Jonathan against Buhari in the last presidential election. You were too busy sniggering to remember that.
Now that the man has disappointed them and performed so abjectly you want them to reward his incompetence? Sorry as Ojo Madueke said the Yorubas are too politically sophisticated to be led by the nose by an incompetent fool.
If your likes can be useful sensitising folks from your local government maybe we would all have collectively gained and benefitted from politics.
Cheers.
IBK

-- --Here is Bola Ahmed Tinubu conceding the loss of the APC's vice presidential slot to someone else, whose name fails me, never heard of him before!“There came a time during the course of the events when our Presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, offered me the Vice Presidential slot. Being a normal human being, I was deeply moved and honoured that he would consider me for the position. Being a patriot, I had to weigh my potential candidacy in all of its dimensions.“I have concluded that the interest of the party, our campaign and that of the nation are better served if I retain my position as the National leader of the APC, allowing me to be a bridge builder across all divides.“I sincerely commit myself to the rescue agenda of General Buhari and Professor Osinbajo.“I declare to you, I will work and dedicate myself so that our ticket succeeds and wins the 2015 election — not for his good, not for my good, not even for the party’s good but for the good of our nation.”Hahahahahahahahahaha!So our REFORMER offered TINUBU the vice presidential slot? So Buhari really, really, realy thought offering a goat custody of the yam barn was the best way to reform the barn? I hear!Do you now understand why our country is in deep trouble?
Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the National leader of the APC - the change agent. Reflect upon that. And after you are through laughing, start weeping. We are not serious!Tinubu really thought himself qualified to be vice president of, not a jail yard, but of a real country? Really? Seriously?We are not a serious people. I have to say that Tinubu is a very lucky man. He has all the newspapers in the South West in his pocket. He and the APC have virtually all public intellectuals looking the other way. And somehow he has conned many Yoruba into false expectations about leading Nigeria. Which leads to provocative Facebook posts like this from Nwachukwu Ugochukwu:"The Yoruba always want to turn logic on its head. If Buhari was coming out from PDP and GEJ from APC, honestly, we would have been bombarded with how evil Buhari was and how he was a dictator, jailing, killing innocent people.We would have heard about how he was poor but uses bulletproof cars, poor but uses a private jet. We would have heard about how 2 billion dollars disappeared and appeared in his London account....If Tinubu, a man with a fake name, a known drug baron whose case is still in the USA, was the leader of another tribe, Nigerians would have been bombarded with how evil such a tribe is and how they worship money.If Tinubu, a man without an ordinary O level WAEC results was the political leader of another tribe in Nigeria, be it Hausa, Igbo etc and belongs to a different political party than our "saintly" tribe, we would have been bombarded with how such people are religious and ethnic bigots.If GEJ was in APC, Yoruba professors would have come out enmasse to teach Nigerians that truly stealing is not the same as corruption as you cannot use the words interchangeably. While some form of stealing can be corruption, one can comfortably say "all Nigerians are corrupt" but one cannot say "all Nigerians are thieves".The Yoruba (not all of them as I have faith in the majority like Ekiti, Ondo, etc) have always sought to deceive those Nigerians who will listen to their ever changing values.They started the infamous cross-carpeting that introduced tribalism in Nigerian politics.Deceive who you can but not me. The whole "corruption" thing was created in the media immediately the formed APC to deceive their brothers into believing GEJ is corrupt. How can a man like Tinubu talk about corruption?"He has made many compelling points. The truth hurts.Anyway, read the rest of the article:- IkhideStalk my blog at www.xokigbo.comFollow me on Twitter: @ikhideJoin me on Facebook: www.facebook.com/ikhide
