Unlike the so-called President of Nigeria, 99 percent of the people following me attended real primary and secondary schools and possess legitimate university certificates that can actually be verified.
They are educated enough to read the latest disclosures concerning the Tinubu crime files, examine the documented narcotics-related forfeiture proceedings, look at the secrecy surrounding his background and finances, and come to a logical conclusion.
My conclusion is simple and direct: *I believe Bola Tinubu is an American intelligence asset and may have been one for 30 years or more.*
That is my considered opinion after examining the secrecy, the protection, the money and the behaviour of the American agencies involved. I have not seen a formally authenticated recruitment document, but I do not require the CIA to send me an admission letter before I can recognise what I believe is standing directly in front of us.
In my opinion, this relationship accounts for the secrecy surrounding Tinubu’s identity, background, finances and dealings with the FBI, DEA and other American agencies. It may also explain why these organisations have been fighting so hard to keep the complete record away from the Nigerian people.
Files or no files, I believe Tinubu has been feeding American agencies information concerning narcotics networks, organised crime and sensitive Nigerian affairs for decades. Everything about the protection surrounding this man raises questions.
How did a man with so many unanswered questions acquire the money, influence and political machinery necessary to capture the presidency of the largest Black nation on Earth?
Why is there so much secrecy surrounding his past?
Why do American agencies behave as though disclosing information about him would cause the heavens to fall?
Why are Nigerians expected to accept this nonsense without asking whom Tinubu actually serves?
To my mind, the answer is becoming increasingly obvious: *Bola Tinubu is not working for the Nigerian people. He is working to protect himself, his network and the foreign interests that I believe helped keep him politically alive.*
This would account for his behaviour. It would help explain why Nigeria is being deliberately driven towards economic collapse while insecurity spreads across the country. It would explain why ordinary Nigerians are becoming poorer while Tinubu, his family, his political associates and the businessmen surrounding him appear to operate in a different universe.
How anyone in their right mind can continue defending this man is beyond me.
I have read hundreds of comments from Nigerians from every walk of life. They are angry. They are hungry. They are exhausted—and they are no longer prepared to sit quietly while a man surrounded by questions rules them as though Nigeria were his private estate.
The Americans are doing themselves no favours by protecting Tinubu. They are exposing exactly what many Africans have believed for years: that Western governments will support almost anyone who obeys their instructions, protects their interests and keeps African countries weak, divided and dependent.
They supported the Shah of Iran. They tolerated Mobutu in Zaire, Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, Samuel Doe in Liberia and Manuel Noriega in Panama. Noriega worked with American intelligence for years while becoming implicated in drug trafficking and money laundering.
The list is long.
Powerful governments protect their assets until those assets become embarrassing or useless. Then they abandon them and pretend they never knew them.
Nigeria is not a banana republic. We are too large, too important and too strategically valuable to be treated like a plantation whose inhabitants are expected to keep quiet while foreign governments decide what they are allowed to know.
I strongly urge the FBI, DEA and CIA to come clean about Bola Tinubu. If he was never an informant, intelligence source or protected asset, release the lawful records and let the evidence prove it.
If he was, Nigerians have a right to know what information he supplied, what secrets he surrendered, what protection he received and what price Nigeria paid for his relationship with the United States.
This is 2026—the age of artificial intelligence and instantaneous communication. Information now moves across the world in seconds. You cannot keep treating more than 230 million Nigerians as though they are ignorant plantation workers who cannot read, think or connect the dots.
The cat is out of the bag.
When poor people are hungry, angry and suffering, the last thing they want to hear is that their country may have allowed a man protected by foreign intelligence interests to capture its presidency.
I have never seen anything like this. When I place all the pieces together—the money, the secrecy, the documented forfeiture, the disputed history, the associates, the American resistance and the political protection—I cannot escape the conclusion that Tinubu is not working for Nigeria.
I believe he is working for himself, foreign interests and the intelligence services that may have protected him.
That would also account for his apparently bottomless pockets. When powerful foreign interests decide that a particular political figure is useful, enormous resources can become available directly or indirectly. Nigerians deserve to know where Tinubu’s political money came from and who benefited from his rise.
They can threaten me. They can insult me. They can sue me to the end of the world.
Let them sue.
A proper court case would open the door to discovery. Documents could be demanded. Financial relationships could be examined. Witnesses could be questioned under oath. The secrecy would finally face the cold light of a courtroom.
Tinubu knows that Nigerians have reached the end of their patience. This story will not simply disappear. He cannot bribe an entire nation into silence, and he cannot permanently bury every document exposing his past.
*THE TIME HAS COME TO BREAK THE COLONIAL CHAINS*
The time has come for Nigerians to grow up politically and sever our dependence upon the old colonial powers.
We gained independence on paper, but since 1960 we have behaved like an obedient vassal state. That so-called independence has cost us our oil boom and much more. We suffered a civil war that should never have happened, killing between one and three million people and leaving wounds that remain open more than half a century later.
We continue running to London for everything—education, medical treatment, holidays, property, money and approval. Then we run to the United States whenever they are not playing games with visas and treating Nigerians as though we are a nuisance.
It is abundantly clear to me that Nigeria is not respected by the West.
Why should they respect us when we repeatedly go to bed with political bushmen? Why should anyone take us seriously when we are continually led by third-rate criminals interested only in enriching themselves, their families and their associates?
These people do not govern. They loot.
They do not lead. They obey.
They do not defend Nigeria. They sell pieces of it to whoever will help them remain in power.
If this Tinubu–FBI–DEA–CIA affair is not a wake-up call for every Nigerian, I do not know what else will be.
Too many of Nigeria’s problems appear to be orchestrated from abroad, with political puppets on the ground putting the wishes of Washington and other foreign capitals into action. Ordinary Nigerians suffer while their leaders receive protection, recognition and access.
Some people will ask: “What choice do African leaders have? If they refuse to comply, they will be toppled, destabilised or killed.”
I say look around you.
Look at the divisions tearing through the United States. Look at its military and economic overstretch. Look at an empire struggling to impose its will on a changing world. America is powerful, but it is not God—and Africa must stop behaving as though Washington possesses the power to decide our future forever.
The United States will lose Nigeria if it continues dragging out the Tinubu scandal. The cat is already out of the bag, and the American authorities are not stupid. They must understand that they cannot keep treating millions of Black Africans with contempt while lecturing the world about democracy, transparency and the rule of law.
We have seen enough hypocrisy.
We need to elect men and women who understand that they are servants of the Nigerian people—leaders whose loyalty is to Nigeria and Africa, not London, Washington, Paris or any foreign intelligence agency.
We can trade with the West. We can cooperate with the West. We can maintain diplomatic relations with the West. But we must stop kneeling before the West.
Unless we finally elect Nigerian patriots, the entire idea of Nigeria will remain one painful hangover from a counterfeit independence. The flag changed. The anthem changed. The colonial officers left—but the obedience, exploitation and humiliation remained.
I do not know about you, but I am bored to death with this never-ending hangover.
I am angry.
I am fed up.
And I refuse to pretend that this is normal.
Nigeria must sober up.
Nigeria must stand up.
Nigeria must finally become independent.
Release the files. Reveal the relationships. Explain the money. Tell Nigerians the truth about Bola Tinubu.
