6 Major Findings about Tinubu from the CSU Documents

By Farooq Kperogi

Both pro- and anti-Tinubu news outlets and blogs are selectively reporting the documents that Chicago State University handed over to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar yesterday. Here are 6 non-partisan tidbits I discovered from poring over them:

1. Chicago State University’s Office of the Registrar affirmed that Bola A. Tinubu indeed attended the university “from August 1977 through June 1979” and was “awarded a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with Honors on June 22, 1979.”

The registrar also swore to this under oath. The penalty for lying under oath in America can be steep. It is punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

This information is consistent with my September 2, 2023, column titled, “Tinubu Definitely Graduated from Chicago State University.”

2. The certificate (we call it “diploma” in the US) that Tinubu submitted to INEC is inconsistent with the certificates CSU issued in 1979 and subsequently, indicating that Tinubu forged his. (In the US, diplomas are mere ceremonial documents that most employers don’t ask for. Transcripts directly from universities are the usual ways to verify attendance and graduation.)

Although he did legitimately graduate from Chicago State University in 1979, he obviously lost his certificate and, instead of applying for a replacement, decided to forge it.

That strikes me as mysterious self-harm. It costs only $26 to get a replacement diploma from CSU. But it takes between eight and 10 weeks to receive it after filling out the Diploma Replacement Order Form.

My guess is that, in the typical last-minute, fire-brigade approach to things among Nigerian elites, Tinubu didn’t plan ahead and didn't have enough time to apply for his replacement diploma from CSU to meet INEC's deadline and decided to visit Lagos’ infamous “Oluwole” for a counterfeit replacement.

3. The Southwest College transcript that Tinubu used to get admitted to Chicago State University belongs to a female. I had questioned the authenticity of the transcript because of the many errors in it, such as the date and social security number. We await what CSU has to say about this.

This reality, though, seems to validate uncorroborated but long-standing whispers from the grapevine that Tinubu, who was allegedly born Lamidi Amoda [Yoruba Muslim domestication of Abdulhamid Ahmed] Sangodele in Osun State’s Iragbiji, stole the identity of a female Bola Adekunle Tinubu to go to America.

4. Nonetheless, this whisper may be difficult to sustain in light of the fact that Tinubu’s Chicago State University admission letter dated August 23, 1977, was addressed to “Mr. Tinubu,” not Ms. or Miss Tinubu.

Was the “F” in the transcript from Southwest College a clerical error, especially because the social security number and the dates were also clerical errors? Or was there a cover-up somewhere?

Well, we saw from the documents released to Atiku that after accepting his transfer credits from Southwest College (which later became Daley College), CSU required Tinubu to take qualifying exams in English, math, and reading, which he passed. Why did CSU allow a man who presented a transcript that belonged to a woman to take qualifying exams as a man?

Tinubu obviously identified as a man throughout the two years he studied at the school. A Nigerian CSU graduate and classmate of Tinubu’s swore under oath that Tinubu ran for and won election as president of CSU's accounting students’ association. His yearbook photo from 1979 also clearly showed a younger version of Tinubu.

And Tinubu’s handwriting and signature in the June 27, 2022, Consent to Release Student Education Records form, which authorized CSU to release his academic records to one Oluwole Afolabi of 3 Roosevelt Avenue, West Orange, New Jersey, seems to me similar to his handwriting and signatures in his CSU records.

Finally, if he used a woman’s associate degree from Southwest College to gain admission to CSU without having any background in accounting or business administration, his performance at CSU was perplexing. Of the more than 30 courses he took there, he got C’s in only three courses. The rest were A’s and B’s, which earned him honors.

5. The Bola A. Tinubu who applied to Southwest College for an associate degree in 1975 claimed to have attended Government College, Lagos, and presented a 1970 GCE A-level result with grades E in Chemistry and Biology and an F in Physics. The problem is that Government College, Lagos, was established in 1974. So, there’s a chronological conundrum there, which signposts forgery.

The GCE A-level result also shows that “Bola A. Tinubu” took the exam as an HSC student, which used to be a two-year study after 5 years of secondary school education. In other words, the owner of the certificate must have graduated from secondary school at least in 1968.

It’s not clear at the moment if the GCE A-level result is fake or authentic—or if it belongs to the man we know today as President Bola A. Tinubu. My hunch is that it doesn’t belong to him. But this will become clear in the coming days.

6. Tinubu tells the world that he was born on March 29, 1952, but the birthday recorded in his CSU transcript says he was born on March 29, 1954. The space for birthday in the Southwest College transcript he submitted to CSU is blank. So is the record of his secondary school education. These facts added to my previous suspicion that the transcript was probably fake.

If he was born in 1954, it means he was 14 years old when he graduated from high school.

Bonus: Tinubu’s last name was misspelled in a few of the CSU documents. I thought the “THUBV” misspelling in his final graduation record was bad enough until I saw “Tinububu” in one of the documents.🤣 Bubu, remember, is Buhari’s nickname among a vast swath of Nigerians. Make of that what you will.

We should all thank VP Atiku Abubakar for his doggedness, which has helped us to get this much clarity about Tinubu’s past.

God bless jagaban the president of the federal republic of Nigeria and biafra, the headsmasher of Peter girigory Obi and his people, the Eze-chukwu of Igbo land

Now that it has been established that Tinubu graduated from CSU, can we now move to the next propaganda?

Let me suggest one for the headless mob.

"Tinubu must provide his birth certificate because he was born the same year Lord Lugard married Florra

Even Kperogi that was still trying to defend the mandate bandit few weeks ago is fed up

May we not labour in vain

The most important findings...

The certificate submitted by Tinububu to INEC was forged ...

Let us see what the Supreme court will say about this.

Five billion of you, Peter Obi and his people cannot stop Tinubu Jagaban the Eze-chukwu of Igbo land, you will explain, blither, weep tire, no evidence, you ask for it and it was giving to you, yet are still grieving and bereaved

It is only fools that will claim Tinubu didn't graduate from CSU, the case would have been successful if Tinubu had submitted the college result with the csu 's certificate to inec, in this case Atiku would have sued the college and this would have been the end, but the guy call Tinubu is smart he only submitted the university certificate,i am not in support of any fraud, but I am not also sure what really transpired, but one thing is sure, had it been fingerprinting was popularly used then, I think we might not be having difficulties in solving the mystery, as it is for now and with many Nigerians in the past, it was easy to change, use and forge identities in the past in abroad before thumbprinting etc were introduced fully,for those quoting me, the case is dead on arrival for Atiku at the supreme court, because CSU did not deny the certificate Tinubu submitted to inec, so the case is dead, the only thing Atiku or any other can unravel now, is to sue Tinubu personally and include the college in America, so as to know the real person that went to that college , though this will not be useful for this present dispensation but can be useful for the next electioneering if Tinubu is found guilty of forgery and identity fraud and proved at any America court of law...

Ok

This is an excellent analysis

But the five billion of him, Peter Obi and his people are not the one who went all the way to Chicago state university to get Tinubu's academic records, Atiku did. Can you channel your grievances and anger towards Atiku

Or are you afraid of Atiku, the PDP and the North. Is it a confirmation of a long standing believe that a typical agbadorian is eternally afraid of the North.

Farooq is running too fast
It is not good to oscillate on same matter

Read what the Prof wrote again this time slowly, then read what you typed here.

If you don't understand what the professor is saying in the story, read my own summary up there

This will take long but the truth will eventually be out.
I know that Tinubu certificate is fake and that CSU are trying to help him.

Who is Atiku, North was not responsible for the First coup, they weren't Ojukwu that brought the only civil war, they didn't attack and insult pastor Adeboye, Kumuyi, Adefarasin Ooni of Ife, Fela Kuti that is dead, Wole Soyinka even babies like Reno omokri little baby, and Seyi law's small girl, north is not Kanu nnamdi that commanded Igbos to destroy Yoruba properties in Lagos and one Igbo boy Chinasa Micheal burn BRT buses in Lagos? North is not parading and committing Crimes everywhere home and abroad, north is not bereved and grieving like Peter girigory Obi people that want to destroy Nigeria.

So you are promoting evil.?

are you sure that you are ok? did you see where it was stated that the certificate presented by tinubu to inec was forged? do you know the implications? continue fooling yourselves

Adekunle in Yorubaland is 100% a boys name.
No reasonable Yoruba parent will name their girl child Adekunle

Forged? why don't gather your family members to go and arrest him since you have all the evidences against him

Hakeem66:

They have started accusing CSU that no institution will be spared in the hands of the headless mob. They never get tired in the pursuit of their stupid propaganda

pandoragirigory:

You have left Tinubh fake certificate is Ojukwu you're dragging now if you keep supporting evil you will keep wandering here and there, that's just life

Ttalk:

"Tinubu must provide his birth certificate because he was born the same year Lord Lugard married Florra

Did you read the post or you've sold your conscience for $20 dollars a month?

Tinubu committed forgery and perjury, these are serious crimes anywhere in the world! Why are these idiots making it seem like it's nothing?!

Remove this criminal now!!!

rintileri:


You have left Tinubh fake certificate is Ojukwu you're dragging now if you keep supporting evil you will keep wandering here and there, that's just life

I reply you according to what you asked, where is the evil from your life, you support what pleases you, I support what pleases me

The conundrum surrounding Tinubu's record vividly describes the sordidness of governance in NIgeria

Am very sure that Atiku's team didn't put all relevant paperwork They got from the CSU out there.. they are NOT dumb

When you ask them why he graduated in 1970, at a school established in 1974, they become mute.

We are not here for pre independent history

I am not here to engage in brick bats

Channel your anger towards Atiku, the PDP and the North

Atiku is the one who went all the way to Chicago state university to get Tinubu's academic records to ascertain whether Tinubu actually graduated from the school and also to confirm the genuineness of the certificate Tinubu presented to INEC

This useless Professor will never stop fingering Atikulooters and Obi supporters.



Tinubu did not submit any other certificate to INEC except the one from CSU, and it has been confirmed that he graduated from there, end of discussion. Any other miserable discovery is just to keep the Children of hate spell bound.


Obi submitted GCE with parallel F9
Atiku submitted MSC he got without b.sc
Tinubu submitted an authentic B.sc that has been verified.
