"Can I Still Be President?" - The Musings Of A Well-meaning Nigerian by EmekaStanley: 4:55pm On May 23, 2023
If I do drugs and sell drugs
Wrecking numerous lives for financial gains
Whether I am convicted or not
Can I still be President?

Does it really matter?
Does it matter that I promote thuggery by my indifference or hidden support?
I mean I could still hire a thug to work for me in government
And turn deaf ears when he or she threatens people for my political gains
Can I still be President?

I could be very rich without a legitimate or traceable source of livelihood
I could be a kidnapper, a fraudster or a thief
So long as I am able to raise money to purchase nomination forms
Can I still be President?

If I am straightforward, truthful and honest
Exhibiting leadership qualities that will move a nation forward
But not enough money to bribe delegates and judges
Can I still be President?

If I am accountable and demand same
If I decline to share Nigeria’s money to a few and impoverish the masses
If I am to operate a government of transparency
Can I still be President?

For the sake of the born and the unborn Nigerian child, yes I can
For the good of the nation, yes I can be President


May this land and all who live herein reject those who do not want her good.
May justice prevail in our courts.
May evil face defeat in all fronts
May the forces of nature always work in defense of our nation’s sanity and sanctity

it’s funny how it is d igbos that are calling tinubu drug baron

The same Igbo that each family has a representative in India prison

99.9% of them should never b trusted, the only time u should do business with them is when u are ready to lose your life

A tribe that every other ethnic group avoid like plague
