One of Nigeria's presidential candidates, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, spoke to Focus On Africa and told @okwoche about:
👉🏾 Why Nigerians should vote for him in the upcoming elections.
👉🏾 What his main priorities are.
👉🏾 The source of his wealth.
Alhamdulillah!
The wedding events of my union, which has expanded our family under our beautiful Nupe customs and Islamic traditions, have just concluded successfully in Kwara. The celebrations spanned three towns, Lafiagi, Tsaragi, and Ilorin; from the colourful Tsakan/Nupe traditional day, through the Nikkah, and ended with the reception. It was a beautiful gathering filled with love, rich cultural celebration, prayers, and the heartfelt warmth of family and friends.
To my Uwarigida, thank you for your understanding, patience, and cooperation, especially through the nay-sayings and challenges. Your strength and grace continue to inspire and steady our home.
To our beloved parents, siblings, extended family, friends, supporters, and well-wishers, we sincerely thank you for your sacrifices, guidance, and unwavering support. If I have my way, I would have mentioned everybody’s name. You all stood by us and held us up in ways words cannot fully capture.
Special appreciation also goes to our mentors, friends, colleagues, and the wonderful community that showed up in large numbers, sent messages, gifts, and prayers. Your presence turned these moments into cherished memories.
May Allah bless every soul that contributed in any way, forgive our shortcomings, and grant us a blessed union rooted in love, peace, barakah, mutual respect, and lasting harmony.
Egi Nupe remains deeply grateful.

You contributed nothing good to Lagos.
Instead you altered the culture by introducing excessive love for materialism, corruption and disrespect. Poverty drove you to Lagos. If you’re that great, why’s your region so desolate? Why not transform your region? Why’s no one going there like you’re rushing here you ungrateful pig.
You’ve killed more people in Lagos than Terrorists have killed in the North with your FAKE DRUGS and Edibles production. You produce and deal in illicit drugs, everything is fake. You introduced kidnapping business in Lagos, same with armed robbery.
All these things you do in Lagos is what gives you the temerity to disgrace the country in South Africa, Ghana, India and all over the world. Today, they chase Nigerians from everywhere because you’re not just ruining places, you will even come out and beat your dry chests that you own the place and built the place.
You people keep provoking everyone like you’re the only tribe in Nigeria.
This was how you started the civil war.
You people always think you’re all that and that’s why you Illbliss is a failed and unaccomplished musician.
Yoruba has been too hospitable and too liberal that you’ve taken us for granted too much. Go and boast about contributing to Kano and kaduna economy or say you want to be Governor there if dem born your miserable selves well.
You will be the one to teach Yoruba how to deal with you and put you where you belong you savage.
If you give them a chance, they’ll take chances. Our customary tenants in Warri Federal Constituency, to whom we gave lands and opportunities, have almost taken everything that belongs to us.
From crowning their own kings and fighting for political rights, now we are fighting for our survival as they are planning to share our local government councils with our customary tenants. We Itsekiris are treated like piece shit in Delta State. Please don’t make such mistakes.
You can even see how their kinsman won the House of Representatives seat(Hon. Okey), and he is empowering only his own brothers, taking them to China and leaving the indigenous people out of it. Just imagine if they become Governor. Be wise, my Yoruba brothers and sisters; learn from your brothers mistakes in Delta State.
3 years of impactful governance ❤️.
Story of renewed hope across several initiatives implemented by President Tinubu’s administration so far.

We Yoruba people really need to do better.
I remember one time I was speaking Yoruba (I’m from Kwara), and some people started laughing, asking what kind of “local Yoruba” I was speaking. I had to ask them if there’s anything like “local” or “tush” when it comes to someone’s indigenous language.
Other tribes speak their language anywhere without caring how it sounds. Meanwhile, the Yoruba they call “local” is actually the original way Yoruba is meant to be spoken. But no, it’s “Lagos Yoruba” that is now the standard to some people… funny.
Today is another great friday, let's pray.
May Almighty Allah bless you with the best of what you prayed for, grant you with the best of what you hope for and surprise you with what you have not asked for.
May Almighty Allah accept your act of worship, forgive your shortcomings and grant you the best in life and hereafter.
🙏
Ameen
Happy Friday.
