Left video fake. Right video original.
The left video was doctored with an AI generated audio of president
Tinubu.
The right video is the original video from VDM where he called out Tinubu's promise of not to be re-elected for a 2nd term, if he doesn't provide steady electricity for Nigerians, in his first 4 years.
Mr Bayo Onanuga @aonanuga1956, don't be in a hurry to issue threats. You are a presidential spokesman, do your home work to verify.
Reno, your argument in support of state police is important, but your history needs correction. Let’s address the inaccuracies clearly and respectfully:
You are right that Nigeria once had local and regional policing structures before Ironsi’s 1966 Unification Decree. This part is historically sound. But your claim that “Benin Kingdom colonised Onitsha and Asaba” is factually wrong.
The people of Onitsha trace their origin through reverse migration from Benin, not colonisation. Migration is not colonisation.
📌 Benin never ruled Onitsha.
📌 Benin never taxed Onitsha.
📌 Benin never imposed political structures on Onitsha.
📌 The Obi of Onitsha is not a Benin creation—he is an Igbo king with an Igbo institution.
Asaba people have no Benin origin. Asaba’s founding traditions, titles, cosmology, and language are rooted in Nri/Nteje Igbo civilisation, not the Benin Kingdom.
No credible historian—Igbo, Edo, or European—supports the claim that Benin colonised Asaba.
Your claim that the Eastern Region had no regional police because “Igbos had no natural rulers” is highly misleading.
The truth is:
📌 The East adopted a republican system.
📌 Authority rested in councils (Oha, Ama-ala, Umunna), not centralised kings.
📌 This was a deliberate cultural choice, not a deficiency.
The East did not form a large regional police because its decentralised structure did not fit the Western and Northern models.
Native Authority Police were not apolitical. You called them “brutally effective and not controlled by politicians.” That is incomplete.
In reality:
📌 NA Police in the North and West were often used by rulers and politicians to intimidate opponents.
📌 The Akintola crisis in the West and NPC–NEPU conflicts in the North involved misuse of local police.
Local police were effective, but far from politically pure.
Ironsi’s Decree 34 centralised Nigeria and abolished regional civil services, but he did NOT seize all regional resources. The total takeover of mineral resources—especially oil—was shaped later by Gowon, Obasanjo, and Babangida.
Your timeline compresses decades of policy into 1966 alone. So many inaccuracies have damaged your credibility.
Supporting state police does not require rewriting Igbo, Edo, or Nigerian history. State police is a good idea that many Nigerians support, but arguments built on false history weaken the case.
In Reno, I have discovered a living lying machine. If you still swallow everything he says hook, line, and sinker without fact-checking, your brain is of no use.
TINUBU'S PAST TWEETS
Bola Ahmed Tinubu (09-09-2014)
The Festering Boko Haram attacks on the North East and Massacre of innocent citizens is concrete proof that NIGERIA has no government.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu (14-4-2014)
On matters of Security, the bulk stops at the President's Table. Like in other Countries, Jonathan is the Chief security Officer. Stop the Boko Haram.
Premium Times (04-19-2023)
Tinubu Criticizes Buhari, Other Nigerian leaders for poor governance, failed promises.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu (04-14-2014)
My heart bleeds for our people and the country over the deaths in Yanyan. A govt unable to protect it's Citizens deserved to be queried.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu (01-21-2015)
This is Jonathan Army, not Nigerian Army. How can a man who rose to become Major General be said to be uneducated.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu (29-11-2013)
If Police have become the Armed wing of PDP let us know. If the Army is now patriotic towards one party let us know, we will all join the Army.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu (14-04-2014)
Too many lives are being wasted, too much blood being shed, too many Limbs severed yet this government carries on with it's cavailier attitude.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu (29-01-2014)
I have no fear either for my political future or present. My greatest fear is for Nigeria and Nigerians. Nigeria is in the wrong hands.
Please Bola Ahmed Tinubu, NIGERIA is now in your hands to stop the Boko Haram, Terrorists, Kidnapping, injustice, oppression from your political party and the killings all over the Nation. Above all Mr President revive the dead economy. Again, Mr President stop the oppression and arrests of protesters if indeed you stand for democracy.
Throwback in 2015 before APC took over power when Tinubu was mocking Jonathan.
He called PDP Poverty Development Party 😂 meanwhile APC is the real Poverty Development Party. APC has thrown more Nigerians into poverty in a number never seen before.
He mocked PDP for questioning Buhari's qualifications.
2015 Was A Year Of Mistake In Nigeria Honestly.
A young female national guard was murdered and the president of USA himself announced her death.
A brigadier general in the Nigerian army alongside 4 soldiers were ambushed by terrorists and slaughtered. The terrorists even posted the slain body of the army general and mocked him in death.
Just imagine terrorists murdering the equivalent of an American army general on American soil.
Yet the Nigerian president and the Nigerian army has never uttered one word till today to honor the general and his soldiers.
This is not a country. This is a lawless jungle run by criminals, who have slaves instead of citizens, defended by an online army of brainless morons.
Dear President @realDonaldTrump
Did you see or read this news? Please react practically 🙏🙏🙏🥺🥺 Our people are knocked out everyday. We don't know who's next. #trump#Nigeria
With his recently announced ambassadorial appointments, Tinubu again proves not only to be tone deaf, but deaf, dumb and blind. The world is watching. Appointing Omokri and FFK reveals that he values money-grubbing, boot-licking, genocide-denying sycophants who flip flop on issues of substance on command over those who show even a shred of competence or integrity.
He’s further confirming himself to be a corrupt dictator who doesn’t care one bit about the unity of Nigeria or her everyday citizens.
Even worse, what does this shameful tit-for-tat rewarding of slimy actors tell Nigerian children? It tells them that to advance in Nigeria today, the first step is to sell your soul and abandon any hint of honor. This is truly shameful.
If anyone doubted that Nigeria is a disgraced, corrupt nation, today’s appointments prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt.
