The Listening Baba: Why Tinubu Stays Ahead Of Critics With Mischief On Their Minds Let's start with a classic fable, "The Man, The Boy, and The Donkey," as it lays the foundation for today's discussion. In this fable, a man and his son are on their way to the market with their donkey. As they walk, they encounter various people who criticize them for how they use the donkey. First, a passerby scolds them for not riding the donkey. So, they put the son on the donkey, but then they are criticized for making the father walk. Next, they try both riding the donkey, and others call the son lazy for not walking. Eventually, they carry the donkey on a pole, which leads to even more ridicule. As they cross a bridge, the donkey falls into the river and drowns. An old man observes the situation and offers the lesson: "Please all, and you will please none." The fable teaches that trying to please everyone can lead to unfavorable consequences. Now, let's turn our attention to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Baba Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He has repeatedly demonstrated his capacity to listen and prioritize the pulse of the people however like the above fable some may not be pleased with his decisions because of mischief. Yes I say mischief because the sincerity of purpose is not there , for instance why would some people tell the man and the son to carry the donkey on their head if they are not wicked souls? So sometimes when you try to please everyone, you often end up pleasing no one. In an attempt to accommodate the varying opinions and criticisms of others, the man and his son make a series of ill-fated choices that ultimately lead to the loss of their donkey. This fable teaches the valuable lesson that it's impossible to avoid criticism from everyone, and it's better to make decisions based on what is right or necessary rather than trying to please everyone. A recent example of Tinubu's responsiveness is the appointment of Abubakar Momoh as the Minister of Youth. This decision sparked a public outcry, with concerns that Momoh did not represent the youth. In a swift response, Baba had a rethink and reassigned Momoh to the Ministry of Niger Delta Development, demonstrating his ability to listen and adjust. It's possible that Tinubu's intention in appointing a 25-year-old as the Chairman of the FERMA Board was to cater to the younger generation. However, a significant number of individuals, myself included, raised objections. We believed that an agency as critical as FERMA required a leader with not only the necessary qualifications and experience but also the respect and acknowledgment of their peers and colleagues. In response to these concerns, the President took appropriate action and rescinded the appointment. Tinubu has once more demonstrated his attentive approach, and this very article highlights his ability to truly grasp the nation's sentiment. This marks a significant shift, with a president who is notably responsive to the people's needs and desires. However, it's essential to recognize that Tinubu's leadership will not mirror the missteps of the man, his son, and the donkey by attempting to appease even those who engage in mischief, potentially jeopardizing the nation's well-being. Tinubu consistently transcends the criticisms fueled by mischief and remains attuned to the authentic concerns of Nigerians. His track record, since taking office, is evident in his appointments. Today, the youth are presented with ample opportunities, and it's now their responsibility to meet the expectations of future generations. An open heart is not an empty head , Tinubu sure knows what to do and has long as he has the listening ears Nigeria would continue to forge on the part of prosperity let us as citizens in turn imbibe the spirit of creativity to adapt to the current challenges we face especially the ones associated with the removal of the fuel subsidy. Criticism is allowed but mischief is a no no Nigeria belongs to us all and we must property our dignity. Osigwe Omo-Ikirodah is the Chairman and CEO of Bush Radio Academy.

Things are getting difficult and extremely hard, people are struggling to eat and stay alive. but here you are praising a politician! Obi, Atiku Tinubu, those guys have amast wealth and are living well, more than 50% of Nigerians are extremely poor and struggling to eat, 30% of the other 50 that were supposed to be middle class have now slipped into deep poverty. But in ur own extremely ridiculous mindset, let's praise A and condemn B. Dude, that might be the PR mode in your WhatsApp group, but damn it, grow up and be a human being 2 Likes 1 Share |

JASONjnr: Oga, you're panicking.. Things are not as bad as you portraying it. You don't generalize things- It's stupid! It is your type that paint the Country bad for what is not. Just because Skilled workers are not making it in your area doesn't mean it's like that everywhere in the Country. I'm typing from Kogi state and I can confirm to you skilled and unskilled workers are still making it big. It's about Perspective! People are solving problems for money while others are providing services everyday... I'ma Dangote Staff tho, but now that peppers 🌶️ is Plentiful here, I'm going into Pepper logistics. Don't just stay and look, improvise, look for opportunities and solve problems. The government can only do %10 for you, the remaining %90 is in your Fvckin hands. 1 Like |

The APC propaganda machine has come again. This actually points out that Tinubu is a puppet being controlled by the cabal. How did a 25 year old become chairman of FERMA? There are many other yeye appointments that won't be corrected. Tinubu's ear is blocked. He approved expensive foreign cars for lawmakers. If he has listening ear, he should have heard that it is better to patronize made in Nigerian cars. 1 Like 1 Share |
