People who stole Nigeria dry from 2015 will never run out of money. Buhari said he was Anti corruption man. People foolishly believed him and voted him. Buhari ended up running the most corrupt govt in Nigeria ever.
johnjay4u2u: Lol This is Nigeria. Where INEC gets billions but can't hold credible election but will need the court tbo clean their mess If INEC clears most issues to a reasonable state, the judiciary won't be needed this much INEC will allow candidate without original certificate contest and await court to sort the dispute.
Why keep wasting money on INEC when we can make the electoral body a subset of Judiciary to save us from all these tribunal disgrace of INEC.
Guber election is coming up in Imo state next Nivember. Let's see if INEC will continue to keep blind eye to election manipulation which even a dullard can see is fraudulent. Hope Uzodinma's only hope to win is using hoodlums and Nigeria's armed forces to force Imo voters indoors while his men write fraudulent election results.
INEC was complicit in miscarriage of justice that produced Hope Uzodinma as governor.
The 388 polling units results even a dunce would know were written by Hope Uzodinma by hand; that's what a whole Supreme Court judges in today's world used to make Hope Uzodinma governor, and he got the opportunity he had been looking for to impose infamy upon the headquarters of his federal constituency; infamy which extended to many other parts of Imo state, and onward to the rest of the SE zone.
wrongnumber: Reno has lost his relevance but I thought he should at least still have some sense of cognitive reasoning.
The question is...
Were there inconsistencies in the certificate Tinubu submitted to INEC?
If yes then does that not give Atiku the reason to challenge the authenticity?
Reno has lost his relevance, he has become flippant of late which is not characteristic of an opposition.
Nobody is against the likelihood that Tinubu attended or graduated, the crux is that the certificate he presented to INEC was forged.
Yes you can forge the certificate of the school you duly graduated from.
I thought Reno should be more sensible... Perhaps he should go check his mental health.
I am not sure but I don't think any Uni re-writes a certificate except they print out the one previously awarded or perhaps a written notification.
Tinubu clearly said he has lost all his academic records and CHICAGO STATE UNIVERSITY HAD PREVIOUSLY MAINTAINED THAT THEY CAN'T UNDER OATH AUTHENTICATE THE CERT TINUBU PRESENTED TO INEC BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW HOW HE GOT IT.
So let's see how it goes.
And BTW what is it with Reno's obsession with Peter Obi?
Reno Omokri was the useless media man for GEJ when smart liars lied GEJ and Reno out of office in 2015. Reno thereafter switched support for Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi in 2019, but smat liars again lied him out. He then switched support for Atiku Abubakar in 2023, but hardly had INEC pronounced Tinubu president-elect when Reno switched over to Tinubu. He has been in search of political job and relevance since he was kicked out of Aso Rock in 2015. Reno has made himself a laughing stock of political observers in Nigeria. Peter Obi doesn't even have time to see the vituperations of Reno Omokri on him.
Jostoman: you are wrong, Atiku is a cool and calm politician, you can never see Atiku using using thugs against his opponent, you can never see atiku using security agent against his opponent. If Atiku was as despirate like the person you are supporting he would have become nigeria president long time ago, Whenever Atiku is fighting for justice, he always fight his fight in the court of law to get justice and that is what Atiku is currently doing.
Sermwell: Let them work hard by spending my own millions of naira?? Do you know how much Tinubu has spent so far on this matter?? Both for lawyers and CSU?? . Tinubu has probably spent doubled the amount Atiku has spent on this issue
Keep deluding yourself!!
Abubakar is spending his own funds.
Tinubu is spending from Nigeria's purse.
It's most unfortunate that some roguish people established the law which makes a man be sworn in as president of Nigeria while the courts are yet to decide who truly won the presidential election.
anonymous1759: After PDP and LP split their vote they’ll still come and say Hope rigged. Common sense cannot allow them reason that PMB tried to unseat PDP for over 16 yrs and failed until he merged his CPC votes with ACN, NNPP and APGA . Until these people see politics as a calculative game rather than emotions “L” will be their name.
If PDP and Labour Party want a secure and developing Imo state, one of the guber candidates of both parties must step aside for the other to grab guber crown from Hope Uzodinma who does not deserve the position he occupies. The PDP is less popular now in the state.
You can as well have your own country out of Nigeria and elect O'Level Certificates holders, semi-illiterates, certificate forgery experts, or even wheel barrow pushers, to preside over your country. Nigeria's political structure sidelines well educated Nigerians from aspiring to preside over Nigeria because they can't win presidential election in Nigeria. Arrangee process brings new president for Nigeria.
[b]ORLU IS BURNING, RELOCATE FROM ORLU. - Hope Uzodinma's unknown gunmen were shouting in their videos after each fire they set on government edifices in Orlu.
Hope Uzodinma became governor and an opportunity emerged for him to revenge against people in Orlu urban LGA for carrying a mock coffin of his political mentor, late Senator Arthur Nzeribe, in 2006 when Nzeribe refused proposed creation of Njaba State with Orlu urban LGA as capital city. A few months after Uzodinma became governor of Imo state, he used his unknown gunmen to spark off a war against Police at a place near Orlu. The unknown gunmen later started to burn local government offices in Orlu and filmed the event as they screamed in the video: "Orlu is burning, relocate from Orlu." This is the beginning of insecurity that expanded to other parts of Imo and Anambra States. When Arthur Nzeribe was laying in state for burial, Uzodinma said: [go in peace, your foot soldiers are carrying out your struggles].
Uzodinma government has deactivated or relocated nearly every government establishment, including local government services, High Court, JAMB offices INEC office in Orlu to Owerri. He even cancelled the urban roads reconstruction works started by Ihedioha government in Orlu. Okwu ozo eme ozo is the best name for Hope Uzodinma.
But Tinubu earlier said that he doesn't believe in one Nigeria.
Tinubu financed Yoruba Nation/Oduduwa Republic agitators as Plan B if Buhari refused to hand power over to him. To the extent that Oduduwa Republic agitators waved the flags of Oduduwa Republic on the grounds of London's Chatham House in support of Tinubu while he was speaking inside the house during the last election campaign.
Sunday Igboho the coordinator of Yoruba Nation/Oduduwa Republic agitators said that Tinubu is his mentor.
A country that bombs part of its country which was the most peaceful part of Nigeria until APC started its campaign for another 8 years in power. Nigeria sends terrorists to kill law enforcement agents in the south east. Nigeria follows up with sending Nigeria's armed forces to bomb and kill innocent civilians in Igbo land. Jihadi government is APC government.
Zxcvbnmghtr: A people whose brain was so distorted by Nnamdi Kanu who alleged that Buhari is dead and was substituted with someone from Sudan by the name Jubrin Alsudan?!
It's Atiku versus Tinubu. Have you forgotten? Tinubu funded your lot in Yoruba Nation agitators as Plan B if Buhari refused to hand power over to Tinubu.
You lot even waved Oduduwa Republic flags on the grounds of London's Chatham House in support of Tinubu while he was speaking inside the house.
Good. People on fishing expedition often catch fish. Otherwise hidden information are often discovered while on fishing expedition. You want to bamboozle Americans with English language. You think you are addressing the court judges in Nigeria whose appointments were largely influenced by you.
Ola9ja23: Where are the IPOBidients that loves to cry 🤣
You na go wail for the next 90 years 🤣😂
You believe you are sweetening your poor narrative by linking Obidients to IPOB. Foolish narrative. By the way, IPOB is only asking for a referendum on Biafra. That is no offence. It's only before you parasites that request for a new country from an existing country became terrorism. Your Tinubu sponsored Yoruba Nation/Oduduwa Republic agitators as Plan B if Buhari refused to hand power over to Tinubu. Yoruba Nation agitators waved Oduduwa Republic flags on the ground of London's Chatham House in support of Tinubu while he was speaking inside the house last presidential election campaign. Tinubu once said he didn't believe in one Nigeria. Sunday Igboho the leader of Yoruba Nation agitators said that Tinubu is his mentor.
emmabest2000: There are insecurity in the east But Imo state is the worst state in terms of insecurity
Imo is worst because the governor of Imo state started the insecurity in Orlu to drown the city because of his old bile against people of Orlu. Surprisingly to him, the insecurity spread to other parts of the south east.
If you love us in Imo state, help us organise prominent Igbos to come to Imo state next guber election to help us retrieve our state from the curse; not your ridiculing us online.
It's not enough for Orlu youths to sign on paper. They have to understand the level of hatred Hope Uzodinma has for Orlu. He says he is Oru man and has no business with Orlu. Orlu youths have to resist Hope Uzodinma using hoodlums and soldiers to restrict voters indoors on the next guber election in Imo state. If Uzodinma gets another four years, before 2028, there may be nobody living in Orlu.
collinspro: No matter how one tries not to bother at the certificate issue involving President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Chicago State University (CSU), the institution he claimed to have attended for a degree, the matter keeps popping up. Like the mythical incubus, the bad dream which hardly dies, it keeps coming and does not let go. In a way, it has become a sore on the thumb, which only Tinubu can cure.
In our days in the rested The Post Express newspapers, a hardworking colleague was about being made the daily editor, when, overnight, his rival contemporaries connived with corrupt minds in the administration department and all his academic records were removed from his file, leaving only the West African School Certificate. The smart Aleks had their way and rumours were injected into the organisation that he was not adequately educated for the position.
He was denied the appointment, temporarily. But he did not bring down the house. All he did was to forward a new set of credentials, indicating that he graduated from Yaba College of Technology and dared anyone with contrary views to prove him wrong. He eventually became the editor of the paper. Today, he is managing director of a leading newspaper organisation.
In 2011, when opponents raised allegations that the then United States’ President, Barack Obama, was not born in the country, the White House simply released copies of his original birth certificate to put an end to persistent rumours.
The certificate stated that the President was born at Honolulu’s Kapiolani Hospital on August 4, 1961. That put paid to insinuations that Obama was born overseas, possibly in his father’s home country of Kenya, and could be constitutionally ineligible to serve as President.
Obama even addressed the issue. “We do not have time for this kind of silliness…“Normally I would not comment on something like this. But the country has some enormous challenges out there that it will not be able to effectively meet if we’re distracted,” he said.
Down here under the military, at a time when retired General Mohammed Buba Marwa was the administrator of Lagos State, there were allegations of certain species of killer beans in the markets. The rumour scared people from purchasing beans and patronizing bean cake (Akara) sellers for fear of their lives. The governor simply doused the tension by stopping by to buy and eat Akara balls on the roadside. The matter ended instantly.
In advertising and public relations, the maxim is “if you have it, flaunt it”. If tomorrow it becomes necessary for me to prove the authenticity of my academic records, all I need to do to clear the air is to encourage and even pay for the schools I attended – Holy Trinity Practising School, Orlu, Bishop Shanahan College (BSC), Orlu, Alvan Ikoku College of Education, Owerri, University of Nigeria, University of Jos, Nigeria Institute of Journalism (NIJ), Lagos State University, to release the certificates and dates for public view. That makes for transparency and conviction.
This is the least Nigerians expected from Tinubu. Being a President deprives him of all claims of privacy in his previous engagements. It is not in his interest blocking the Chicago State University from telling Nigerians who he was and how he entered the institution. The day he was sworn in was the moment he assumed the character of a glass house in a market square which all see through. There is, therefore, an extent he can run but certainly cannot hide.
The CSU certificate issue poses a huge burden to the President. How far he goes in handling it will go a long way in determining his estimation in the court of public opinion. The challenge is not one that can be wished away or suppressed by renting a battalion of senior lawyers and experts in jurisprudence. It is rather a matter of evidence, the type that is explained in normal street lingo as “seeing is believing.”
Tinubu owes Nigerians a lot in coming clean on his person and credentials. A major attribute of electoral democracy is its culture of transparency. The moment that significant factor is lost or buried in the debris of manipulations or legal technicalities, it is no longer democracy. By extension, the essence of the title “His Excellency” is lost. There cannot be excellency in one riding on a dented mandate or flying on the wings of padded credentials.
The dangers in pretending that such anomalies do not exist are many. At a time when men and women of conscience are rising to speak against the tendency of some youth abandoning genuine means of livelihood and taking to cybercrime or other forms of criminality under the umbrella of “Yahoo-Yahoo Business”, sustaining the fight will be difficult with a President seating comfortably on breezy academic and other awful records. How then can the upcoming generation be advised to embrace hard work as the only pathway to success when they have a ready instance of shortcut to cite? It is this direct assault on the societal value system that should give any Nigerian much cause to worry, whether he supports the President or not.
So, it is not enough hushing out Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP) in the February election or blackmailing Atiku Abubakar, the flag-bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), from insisting on the matter. The US courts can even be made to give order restraining the Chicago State University from releasing the results. The President and his foot soldiers may see that as a victory, if it comes to that, but Nigerians know better and are certainly wiser. They can separate the grains from the chaff.
But for Tinubu, the CSU affair has become a scandal of sorts. It will continue to hang around him as a rope, drawing him back from any move at fighting against corruption and other forms of malfeasance in the public and private sectors all his days in office. It is a war he cannot win.
Onye uzo ulo, ma dear. To rally Orlu people to save Orlu from further molestation by Hope Uzodinma is the biggest task ahead by November 2023 guber election in Imo state. Ndi Orlu must resist every effort by Uzodinma to use hoodlums and armed forces to restrict voters indoors in Orlu. Any 4 more years for Uzodinma, by 2028, there shall be only old men and women remaining in Orlu because they cannot or have no means to escape from Orlu.
Maariv: A plot of land around this area is about N250 million and this property is sitting on about 2.5plots of land just behind the state assembly and must have been obtained illegally given that this location was once part of the state assembly compond. The writer wouldn't be out of line when he says 1 billion .
Tinubu urchinss who invaded the thread immediately after it was put on Nl don't know about the location of the plot of land, its value and value of buildings in the area. They are paid to brainwash people on anything in order to promote APC/Tinubu. They might also think it's about pea nut value of land in the SW outside Lagos or in the North outside Abuja.
successmatters: This chicken coop cannot be over 15 million naira
And people are complaining?
God punish poverty, critics that are poor in their thinking.
Continue with seeing APC everywhere as infallible. Imo State has been wotowoto in the last 4 years. Only federal roads that lead from nowhere to the state capital reconstructed. All the governor hopes for reelection is armed forces from Tinubu government to force Imo voters indoors so that he will write results as usual and submit to INEC for approval.
Imo govt of CONFIDENCE MEN AND WOMEN. Build federal roads. Claim refund from federal government. Paint coloured lines on the streets of the state capital. Watch other cities in the state decay with no infrastructures, not even one repaired or built in 4 years. Pocket the federal allocations to Imo state and its 27 LGAs.
But please don't go the Imo way of poorly educated governors. Imo State has literally closed its other urban centres, Orlu and Okigwe, for the sake of building a befitting state capital. Every body who can afford it in Imo now lives in Owerri the state capital.
That a president of a country is battling on all fronts to stop the people he leads from viewing his academic records is already a pointer to the fact that the president has skeleton in his cupboard. Tinubu's only saviour now is that he influenced the appointments of many of the judges in Nigeria's judiciary. But that notwithstanding, these judges need to save Nigeria from Tinubu and his too many unclean records; at least, for posterity's sake.
Unimaginable that a Prime Minister of Great Britain, president of the US, President of Egypt, president of South Africa, etc, is battling to avoid the public from viewing their academic records that should qualify them to hold office.
Releasing Tinubu's academic records to Atiku is like releasing the records to Nigeria and to Nigerians who want authentication of Tinubu's claims before INEC. INEC had no constitutional powers to authenticate the records submitted to it by politicians seeking to be considered for public office.
Abagworo: Ikpeazu did better in Abia State than what Otti is presently doing as far as infrastructure is concerned. Otti is just riding on propaganda for now. As for Okorocha he did well in Orlu and it is the envy of our neighbouring States. Uzodinma is also doing well in Orlu as he has completed the Orlu-Owerri expressway to become the smoothest intercity road in Southeast presently laced with streetlights from beginning to ending. He is also building Mgbidi to Okporo expressway with streetlights all in Orlu. There is nothing you can do that van make Umuahia as large and developed as Aba just like there's no way Orlu can be like Owerri.
Beginning from the 1970s, Orlu is better planed for city status with scores of inner city streets, than Owerri. Okorocha as governor even confirmed this a few years after he became governor of Imo state when he said that there can never be traffic hold up in Orlu due to the many inner roads in the town. If not for the actions and inaction of both Rochas Okorocha and Hope Uzodinma, worse, Uzodinma, Orlu would have become a more metropolitan city than Owerri before now. Owerri-Orlu and Mgbidi-Okporo roads are different from the dozens of the now dilapidated inner city streets in Orlu hindering economic activities in the town.
"Finally, in the event the Court determines to allow any discovery to proceed here, the University urges the Court to direct only limited, targeted discovery on the University,” ---- Chicago State university.
But the university cannot decide what it wants the court to discover about Bola Tinubu and his academic records in the university. What Atiku Abubakar prayed the US Court to discover is what the court will order the university to provide to the court for judgment by the court. For example, if Atiku Abubakar asked the court to discover if Bola Tinubu who enrolled in Chicago State university was truly a female, or if the Bola Tinubu who enrolled at CSU was an American citizen, CSU must supply these information. It's not enough for CSU to say that Bola Tinubu passed through CSU and graduated therefrom.
Senator Achonu; carry go. One secret: concentrate your campaign in Imo West senatorial district where the incumbent governor turned to a war zone and arrested development in the zone's principal city because of his imagined political enemies in the city. Next is Okigwe zone and Mbaise. The people of main Owerri want 2nd term for gov Hope Uzodinma because he develops only Owerri federal Constituency.
