Throwback photo.

1) Then (can you name all the people in this photo?)

2) Now.

I hope none of them have been previously convicted?

Politics aside, it must be an honour to be mentored directly by someone like Jagaban himself

Any one of us can sit down and list up to 100 Tinubu boys, please who can list 10 Obasanjo’s boys or 10 Atikulation’s boys or 5 Peter Obingo’s boys who are still relevant and has grown higher in the society since the time they worked for their bosses.

Tinubu is the king of Nigeria’s kings and the god of Nigeria’s gods, only the God of all gods Eledumare the Alpha and Omega is higher than Tinubu.

Either Tinubu put them into power or he knows about all their shady business and secrets

This is what leadership entails and the definition of a leader, someone who build and mentor people to success. Someone who others look to and wish to b greater than someday.

Someone who u can see as a source of inspiration, we all can see how people who worked for tinubu have achieved greater heights and how they are kings in their lane.


This is the same man they want to compare to that fruitless tree who can't even point to one person he made.

Like I have said it n I will say it again, if not for tribal sentiment and desperation to produce president

Peter obi shouldn't even come close to Tinubu in of comparism, Peter obi should b in the league of men like aregbesola, fayose n co but since sentiment is allowed they are comparing obi that was running around from one party to another to a man who stood against opposition and took time to build a viable opposition.

When Tinubu have already made his mark and built a party that had 4 governors, obi was serving under Jonathan

When Jonathan was negotiating regional deal with Tinubu as the boss in 2011, obi was doing boy boy to Jonathan.

That is the same obi they want to compare to Tinubu today

jmoore:

can we see just one picture of someone obi mentored?

U people want us to believe obi is the best but where are his fruits?

Where are people he mentored?

Where are people that served during his tenure?

Don't tell me they went back to their business, the fact is just that obi surrounded himself with mediocres during his governance. People who are only fit for local and don't aspire for greater heights.


So we couldn't hear anything of obi commissioner? Permanent secretaries , directors, managers of different sectors?

How can u be the best father in the world when u have no children?

City boyz

some of miscreants he mentored.

ProudlyLagos:
all I see is pain……pls mention one person your agulu packaged fraud ever mentored and became someone of value in the society today?

Even the few associate he had prior to the last election have left him what does that tell you about the person of saint obi?

Zero leadership management skill, he can’t even bring ting elupee together and yet he want to lead a big nation like Nigeria?

and such you will keep seeing. continue seeing the pains.

Who else noticed that Nairaland front page topics don't exceed 4 pages again. Jagaban has made data inaccessible to the common man

"Interesting insight into the intersection of traditional leadership and modern governance. The visit highlights the significance of mentorship and collaboration between government officials and traditional institutions. Would love to see more research on the impact of these relationships on community development and policy implementation."

Oga, your grammar too much.

If we do not study Tinubu as a research course before he dies, then we will regret it when he is no more. It is not a matter of if he is a good man or a bad man, the research is how is he able to spread his influence to every area of life.


If you watch Asari Dokuboh interview, he said when Obasanjo put him in prison, Tinubu went to take his family from Rivers, put them in a good house and sent his children to the best schools in Lagos. Why did Tinubu do that as far back at early 2000s?

It's none of your business.
