@@missjade2940yes he did I remember living in festivac if you know anything about Lagos he made it a lot better he is to Lagos what Rudy Juliani is to New York

[@wolefatunmbi9727]

@@Terry884 Yes, Tinubu is like him,the comparison to Rudy is on point. Tinubu Rudy Giuliani, they are both criminals, terrible shameless men. You may now be shocked at that. It is strange and amazingly sad, how Africans, especially my people so called Nigerians remain mentally and colonially enslaved. Tinubu in a reasonable society , should be in jail. Is that what you all call development in Lagos ? I grew up in Lagos from the early 70s, Lagos was clean, the air was like in paradise, no agberos, the schools were great, education was on the highest level, any Nigerian, could leave secondary for the US , direct into any University of choice. Clever Nigerians, started leaving in the early 80s when the madness was already more than visible had begun, so Japa was Andrew checking out, back in the days. We no dey shame for naija abi wetin, dem curse us with evil ? Is it not obvious that Tinubu should not be President ? Was he not indicted in America as being a money bag for Drug barons in Chicago ? Was he not mugshot and after making a plea deal, instead of going to prison, he forfeited the money to criminals like him. You think America is not behind Tinubu, is it not them That rigged the election for him ? Una dey sleep, una dey fight the wrong enemy ? You all haven't understood, that those who brought great, great destruction upon our ancestors, the same who later took our children into slavery all over the world, the same who brought all tropical diseases into the rain forest of West Africa, to exterminate all the people and take their Land, as they have done all over the world. When will you all wake up and understand, they can never change, look the list of wars they have participated in, they have caused and killed many millions in our time, when will my people wake up ? They have never left us alone and everything I've said, is just a chip a drop of water out of an ocean of truths about our hidden histories, which are here in Europe, here in Germany where I live. We need a pan African leader, like Julius Malema, not a sell out puppet of the west like Tinubu. Lastly, the best governors of Lagos were Late Brig Gen Mobolaji Johnson and Late Chief Alhaji Lateef Jakande. How many schools, hospitals, Colleges of Education, Technical Colleges, Polytechnics, University to world standard did Tinubu build ? All existed through these aforementioned governors Gen Johnson and Jakande. Whose plan was the metroline ? It was jakande , 1978, when he was campaigning, but the Fed destroyed it, the Nigerian Army crooked generals, destroyed the project, amongst many great projects. Everybody is praising Eko City, una dey craze for Lagos😂 the same money, would have cleaned up Lagos, develop Lagos, build many production companies, where a lot of capital can be generated, do great agricultural wonders, build research centres for our youth, I can go on and on. Copy, copy Dubai, in the near future, Many of these artificial cities will be under the ocean, you cannot cheat nature, or go against the order of Creation and there's nothing new under the Sun, research on, check on cities under the ocean.. Tinubu is kissing a d3vil called Macron, una no get eyes, he is shaking the blood hands of leaders who have killed many , uncountable and are still killing. The madness in Lagos today would never have happened in the 60s or the 70s or the 80s. Dangote is bringing in Bill Gates, mumu Naija peoples are celebrating their new diseases, sicknesses, virus, deaths and downfall, dem really curse us.😓😓😓😓😓
