This is powerful! The best article I have read all my life! I must save this for perpetuity in my mail box? Who is Tadaferua? How come I never knew him before? How come such a genius is not so popular? This is unbelievable!! I nominate you for the nobel-prise!!

…That said, I must make a few observations: (1) The difference between Ibori & Tinubu in my opinnion mostly lie in the fact that the later invested heavily in the media. His SW constituency of course originally controls the media & the Civil Society Groups. Even in his contest with OBJ, the media ( both the ones he founded & the ones run by his people) sided with him. Of course, OBjs first moves in 1999 was to court the SW media & CSOs with choicest appointments. Summary: the media is a very powerful factor for politics, & the SW uses it for its interest. It was Tinubu’s advantage. (2) A time of failure always comes in the life of a schemer. And it usually happens late in the life of their schemes – acting as an anti-climax – at a time when it becomes irreparable. For Tinubu, this is it here. Come to think of it: age is not on his side. So, whatever he cannot fix in the next few years to achieve his political aims or to restore his relevance will never again be done! It will be too late with a little more time! It is over for him. He has reached a cul-de-sac. He has come to his sad end! He may have died before power is retrieved again!
