Presidential candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressive Congress (APC) told supporters in Edo state on Thursday that his vision is to "turn so-called yahoo yahoo boys into in manufacturing and creation of than being gazalle gagaraga." While people were confused by Tinubu's incomprehensible statement, party members applauded his gaffes.
However, the time has really come for those who have good intentions with Nigeria and those who love the person of Asiwaju Tinubu to advise him to take a bow and rest. But that can never happen, because that's where they make their living.
But this string of blunders that everyone in and outside Nigeria almost accepts for cruising and comic relief shouldn't go unnoticed. Nigeria is a multifaceted country with wild and complex problems that needs a leader with a dynamic, stable and sound mind to steer things.
Meanwhile, while Tinubu "has a vision to turn Yahoo Yahoo Boys into in manufacturing and creation of than gazelle gagaraga", controversial but popular Nigerian singer Portable has asked poor Nigerians to do business in Yahoo Yahoo. Portable said this while amusing his fans again with his social media activity after he shared a video of himself on a plane.
On his official Instagram account, the Zazu singer shared a series of clips of himself with his crew members on an almost empty plane, prompting some broke people to perform rituals to earn money and have a life comfortable like the one he was in.
Portable said: "Wahala e don happen. I dey inside plane. People no gree enter plan o. Dem no gree buy ticket. Wahala wahala you no do, now make you enter plan, you no get money to buy ticket. You no see empty seats inside plan? People plenty outside o. You no gree do this one, now you don broke. Akoi empty seats.
Speaking further, he blamed Nigerians for not doing rituals, claiming that they would have boarded it, if they had done ritual.
Following the video, he wrote,
𝑊𝑎ℎ𝑎𝑙𝑎 𝑊𝑎ℎ𝑎𝑙𝑎 𝑊𝑎ℎ𝑎𝑙𝑎. 𝐼𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒 𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑛 𝑠𝑒𝑒 𝑒𝑚𝑝𝑡𝑦 𝑠𝑒𝑎𝑡𝑠, 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒 𝑝𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒 𝑝𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑦, 𝑛𝑜 𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑦 𝑡𝑜 𝑏𝑢𝑦 𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑘𝑒𝑡 𝐾𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑚𝑎ℎ 𝐹𝑎𝑗𝑎ℎ 𝐴𝑘𝑜𝑖 𝐹𝑙𝑦 𝐴𝑗𝑎𝑙𝑎 𝑁𝑎 𝑇𝑟𝑎𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑟 𝐷𝑟 𝑍𝐸𝐻 𝑁𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑀𝑎𝑛𝑦 𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑦 𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑝𝑖𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛'.
But despite his controversial lifestyle, singer Portable has a love for humanity that most Nigerian politicians who only reach out to the poor during election time to steal their votes, Portable has given back to society countless times.
The singer, who was in Benin City, Edo State for a performance, showed love to a homeless woman and her child. In a video posted to his Instagram page, Portable was seen handing out dollars to a woman and her child and did not ask them to vote for him or woo them to buy his CD or forcibly download his music. It was an unconditional gift.
This isn't the first time the controversial singer has reached out to those who need it most. Portable is remembered as celebrating his birthday at an orphanage by spreading love to motherless babies. Before leaving the scene, he flooded the street with a pile of money by throwing it in the air and people were seen collecting free money.
Nevertheless, in a sane country, the kind of Portable would be in jail for making such reckless statement. But here, the story is different, they will rather hail him. This is a country where terrorists, corrupt officials, and various alibre of criminal elements are given high titles and celebrated.
