The King-maker Who Became King: Mastering The Long Game by tayolee(m): 8:45am On May 25, 2023
Introduction:
In the annals of history, there are rare individuals who possess the strategic acumen and unwavering determination to shape their destinies. Among them, a remarkable figure stands out—the king-maker who defied convention by transitioning from orchestrating power behind the scenes to ascending the throne. This extraordinary individual meticulously planned for the long term, surmounted countless obstacles, and played the ultimate game of power, emerging victorious. This is the tale of a master strategist who not only supported others and forged alliances but also strategically maneuvered himself into the position of ultimate authority.

The Visionary Strategist:
At the heart of this story lies a visionary strategist who possessed a keen understanding of power dynamics. Recognizing that mere political influence was insufficient, he resolved to acquire the crown itself. Armed with this audacious ambition, he meticulously crafted a multi-layered plan that spanned years, if not decades. Every move he made was a deliberate step toward realizing his ultimate objective—becoming the king.

Playing the Long Game:
The king-maker understood that the path to power was riddled with obstacles, resistance, and competition. Rather than succumbing to impatience or short-term gains, he embraced the concept of playing the long game. By patiently cultivating relationships, nurturing alliances, and strategically positioning himself in key spheres of influence, he ensured that his ascent would be gradual, steady, and irreversible.

Supporting Others:
Paradoxically, one of the king-maker's most powerful strategies was to support others in their pursuit of power. By recognizing and elevating talented individuals who aligned with his vision, he built a loyal network of allies, each indebted to him. This approach not only earned him their trust and loyalty but also created a perception of fairness and impartiality, masking his true intentions. Through his skillful guidance, he transformed these proteges into formidable players who inadvertently furthered his own cause.

Building Alliances:
The king-maker understood that alliances were the currency of power. He tirelessly sought out potential allies, engaging in complex negotiations and delicate diplomacy. His ability to navigate the treacherous waters of conflicting interests and forge strategic partnerships was instrumental in his rise to supremacy. With each alliance he cultivated, his influence grew, solidifying his position and weakening his adversaries.

Surmounting Obstacles:
No path to power is without its share of hurdles, and the king-maker faced numerous challenges along his journey. However, his unwavering determination and strategic prowess allowed him to overcome each obstacle that stood in his way. Whether it was political rivalries, internal power struggles, or external threats, he adapted, adjusted, and outmaneuvered his adversaries, never losing sight of his ultimate goal.

The Triumph of a Master Strategist:
After years of tireless planning, unwavering patience, and calculated moves, the king-maker eventually realized his audacious ambition. Through his strategic genius, he had successfully maneuvered himself into the position of power he had long desired. The transition from the orchestrator behind the scenes to the sovereign on the throne was complete. The world marveled at the mastery with which he had played the long game, forever etching his name in the annals of history.

Conclusion:
The tale of the king-maker turned king serves as a testament to the power of strategic thinking, unwavering determination, and the ability to play the long game. Through his meticulous planning, patient support of others, and adept alliance-building, he overcame every obstacle in his path. This extraordinary figure reminds us that true power lies not just in commanding others but in harnessing the forces around us to achieve our most audacious dreams. The king-maker who became king leaves behind a legacy that will inspire strategists, leaders, and visionaries for generations to come.

I believe the kingmaker who eventually became the king is blessed with the midas touch.

All this crap because of a self-urinating kleptomanaic who's only political advantage is his ability to out-bribe his opposition with money looted from Lagos State.

Thank you for not mentioning names. We know you're talking about God's plan for Nigeria not Nigerian pastors' plan for Nigeria.

But you will agree that some people strategic. They plan what they want and most times they get it, other times they fail. Some are opportunistic they also have their moments.

Sometimes I sit back and look at the Yorubas and wonder if they would ever be redeemed again in this world.


A king maker is someone who held them at ransom, deciding who to be governor, senator, house of rep member and so on.


Disgustingly, this is something they should not be proud of but on the contrary, it's one of the qualities of tinubu they shamelessly project to the public.

Tinubu dictating what should be and what should not be in the south west shows that the south west lack men of strong will. You can only dictate to weak people.

Culture varies I understand, but when what to do and who to go is being decided by one in the midst of millions shows how weak that culture is.

If your first move is to look at people that have differing viewpoint from you from the racial or ethnic lens, it shows how backward you are mentally. You should be able to construct arguments based on critical thinking not emotions.

The topic itself is total gibberish. Idolising someone who enslaved you. Are you happy as a slave?

The whole write up reeks of ethnic and racial slur.
If not for southwest, where again is tinubu the King maker?

A one-eyed man that is king in the land of the blind
