First Stop- Chicago State University

If Bola Tinubu claimed to have graduated from Chicago State University in such flying colors and even official recommendations, then the odds of finding such brilliant student in the School's year book would be almost certain.

My first search query was on the names "Bola, Tinubu, Yekini, Sangodele, Adekunle and Amoda.

All these queries returned zero results for the following year period- 1975 - 1980.

Comrade, off the mic 🎤

We are talking about someone who impersonated the childhood picture of Donald Duke

Abi na the lies of bishops approving him

First Stop- Chicago State University

Hire a private investigator, visit Chicago State University or just send an FOI request to the School?

All options seemed plausible and doable but then again I thought; with AI, the internet archive and online data trace firms, you can quickly get to the root of many such investigations these days. If I meet a dead-end, I will have to resort to any of the above options to finish this investigation.

Let's get to work!

I visited the internet archive and carried out a few search queries on Chicago State University. (The Internet Archive is an American digital library founded in 1996. It contains records of digital publications that have appeared on the internet). Visit www.archive.org to search

All these queries returned zero results for the following year period- 1975 - 1980.

I thought okay this might be a dead-end already? But I don't like to give up easily, hence I decided to peruse the pages of the yearbooks class after class. Conspicuously or by mere coincidence, the yearbook for the year 1979 (the year Tinubu allegedly claims to have graduated) was absent or missing. Okay maybe I can find it elsewhere? I decided to do a deeper-search using a different browser type but could not get my hands on the graduating year of 1979. It was quite weired that the yearbook for the exact year the president claims to have graduated was no where on the internet (even though there is data for previous graduating sets before 1979 and also for years after 1979).

Should I revert to my prior options or find a way through this?

I decided to peruse the pages of the yearbooks year after year to see the names and faces of the graduating students, perhaps I might come across a few friends of his who might have known the man in the past (this might be helpful for a PI).

Baaam! I struck something!

A. Amode

Wait, this graduating student is the only one who has one name written beneath his album picture. Also, this is the graduating set of 1977 not 1979 which Tinubu claimed to have graduated.

Before they pull it down, you can view my search query here to find the only surviving picture of this mysterious student "A. Amode".

Who is A. Amode? Which kind problem be this!

I decided to keep searching. Then I stumbled on another old credible news publication which cited Tinubu claiming to have graduated in 1977/78...

Fsnudo:
This is a detailed and daring investigative effort by an investigative journalist, to unmask the many mysteries surrounding Bola A. Tinubu's mysterious past.

Please take your spaces in the thread without derailing it with ethnic supremacy or bigoted comments. Your moniker will be reported if you do otherwise.


This is an exclusive story that first appeared on nairaland on 26th of August 2023 and might help other well meaning Nigerians make informed conclusions on Bola Tinubu's mysteries past.

The journalist makes inferences from investigative cues and avoids conjectures or blanket conclusions, to avoid propagating rumours.

All these constantly changing narratives don't seem to be helping my findings. Let me try to look into this A. Amode if it leads anywhere I thought.

AI to the rescue!
I downloaded the only surviving picture of A. Amode on the Chicago State University's 1977 yearbook. I uploaded on 2 AI image enhancing websites to improve the quality by any stretch, then I recolored the picture with another AI tool since the picture was in black and white originally. All of a sudden, the picture began to appear a little familiar or strange if you like.

Nairaland is not allowing us upload image. I will update the thread once it is fixed. Moderators come to our rescue o
