Ohhh so you are the pig? Never knew it was you!!! Pigs! yarimo: |
With the recent realignment between PO, AA & Kwas, I can infer that a rerun is in the offing. As best as we know, Kano is gone from APC. Lagos, Rivers, Kaduna, Adamawa, Taraba, Benue, are all gone! Where does he hope to win? Ohhh Ekiti & Oyo is there! |

Chicago State University: US court assumes jurisdiction, says Atiku satisfies all requirements By Political Economist The United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, says it has jurisdiction in the case instituted by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to compel Chicago State University (CSU) to produce critical documents relating to Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Tinubu who is currently the President of Nigeria contested the February 25 Presidential election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Atiku’s application was spurred by an earlier case in Nigeria precisely on November 9, 2022, several months before the Presidential elections, in which one Mr. Mike Enahoro-Ebah, described as a “Human Rights Defender and Public Interest Litigator” in Abuja, Nigeria, commenced proceedings against Mr. Tinubu by filing a “Direct Criminal Complaint” in the Chief Magistrate Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). In his complaint, Mr. Enahoro-Ebah alleged that Mr. Tinubu submitted an “Affidavit of Personal Particulars” to INEC in June 2022 as part of a required filing to run for President that included a forged CSU diploma dated June 22, 1979 and other information that is inconsistent with the CSU documents. According to court papers filed by Atiku in the US court dated August 2, 2023, to support the allegations, “Mr. Enahoro-Ebah stated that after Mr. Tinubu made his INEC filing, Mr. Enahoro-Ebah obtained a subpoena from the Circuit Court of Cook County, dated August 11, 2022, and served it on CSU. In response to the subpoena, CSU’s Registrar, Mr. Caleb Westberg, sent a letter dated September 22, 2022, to Mr. Enahoro-Ebah’s Chicago counsel, Mr. Matthew J. Kowals, advising Mr. Kowals that “[t]he enclosed documentation is all the records we have for Bola E. Tinubu. “According to the complaint, the documents that accompanied Mr. Westberg’s letter included a CSU diploma issued to Mr. Tinubu on June 27, 1979. The June 27 diploma allegedly produced by CSU to Mr. Kowals, and the June 22 diploma allegedly submitted by Mr. Tinubu to INEC, are very different documents. In addition to the different dates, the documents have different seals, fonts, and language. The June 22 diploma has grammatical errors that the June 27 diploma does not have. They are also signed by different persons who are ostensibly officials of CSU. The June 22 diploma has three signatures, one of which purports to be the signature of Dr. Elnora Daniel as President of CSU. The other two signatures on the June 22 diploma are illegible. “By contrast, the June 27 diploma only has two signatures. They purport to be the signatures of Dr. Daniel, again as the President of CSU, and Dr. Niva Lubin as the Chairperson of the Board of Trustees. Compare “In his complaint, Mr. Enahoro-Ebah asserts that the June 27 diploma produced by CSU to Mr. Kowals is authentic, and that the June 22 diploma submitted by Mr. Tinubu to INEC is a forgery. However, Applicant’s staff have recently conducted further research into the names of CSU officials with legible signatures on the two diplomas: Dr. Daniel (whose signature appears on both the June 22 and June 27 diplomas) and Dr. Lubin (whose signature appears only on the June 27 diploma). According to public records, Dr. Daniel and Dr. Lubin did not join CSU until the late 1990s—around two decades after CSU supposedly awarded the June 22 diploma and/or the June 27 diploma to Mr. Tinubu. Applicant’s research therefore calls into question the authenticity of both the June 22 and the June 27 diplomas. In his complaint, Mr. Enahoro-Ebah alleged the following additional discrepancies between the information provided by Mr. Tinubu to INEC and the documents produced by CSU to Mr. Enahoro-Ebah: “According to documents produced by CSU, the “Bola Tinubu” who attended CSU was a U.S. citizen, while in the information provided to INEC, Mr. Tinubu states that he has always been solely a Nigerian citizen and has never acquired the citizenship of any other country. According to the documents produced by CSU, the “Bola Tinubu” who attended CSU was born in 1954, while according to the information provided to the INEC, Mr. Tinubu was born in 1952. “According to the documents produced by CSU, the “Bola Tinubu” who applied to CSU submitted a prior transcript from Southwest College that identified “Bola Tinubu” as “female.” According to the documents produced by CSU, the “Bola Tinubu” who attended CSU claimed that s/he had graduated from Government College, Lagos, in 1970, while in the information provided to INEC, Mr. Tinubu makes no mention of having attended Government College. Pursuant to the above, Atiku, by and through his counsel, applied to the Court for an order granting him leave to compel CSU to release and verify the authenticity of documents purportedly issued to Tinubu by the university. Going by available court papers, the Court has established that it has jurisdiction over this matter in accordance with US laws which “authorizes any “interested person” to request that a United States District Court order the discovery of documents and testimony for use in a foreign proceeding from persons that “reside[] or [are] found” within its District.” The court said Atiku has satisfied all statutory requirements as he is an “interested person”; and the respondent, CSU, is a public university established and existing under the laws of Illinois, with its principal campus and offices in Chicago. Having met all requirements, the court said it will not hesitate to grant the prayers of Atiku. Freshtruth: |

Now, you're officially BARRED and Batified. There's a saying that the king always eats some of his ardent supporters. This is true in almost all situations. Asari Dokubo, an ex insurgent was recently on the news about his purported friendship and plans with the current occupant of Aso Rock; Bola Adekunle Ahmed Tinubu. He flouts it. He drops names at any given opportunity. He derides the Igbo openly, making some of Igbo youths to reciprocate with a name he certainly hate: fat pig! The biggest News now is Asari Dokubo, the loud mouth empty headed ex militant has been banned and publicly disgraced by his friend & candidate Tinubu. This was the same Tinubu he was making enemies with Igbos for... It's really a shame that an old man like Asari could be this foolish. He has Tommy to imitate, but he didn't. He has other ex rogue elements to imitate, he didn't. He decided to imitate his foolish self thinking the king will appreciate it. Tinubu like GEJ is a coward, who only care about their needs rather than their supporters! I'm glad Tinubu dished out the sushi hot, spicy & public. For now, let the pig wallop on the mud! Ntorrrrrr. Pipeline contract you no see. Visiting Aso Rock for picture opts, you no see. Instead na ban you chop! Next time, try get sense small! |
Pigs will always give birth to a piglet.... Tufiakwaaaa! Party of looters, riggers & certificate forgers! divide9ja: |
Nothing give me joy like when it seems like "gotcha!" No wonder him & drink is 5&6........EzeCanada: |
No food for chop chop FFK...... You & Reno una go write tired Bulablu no get una time! If we are not careful and if we refuse to use diplomatic means to resolve this matter we may end up throwing ourselves into the greatest and most destructive war in the history of Africa and few African nations would survive it. That is what the proponents of an attack on Niger are toying with. Treading the path of war is a reckless and dangerous adventure which would result in a frightful and horrific Dickensian nightmare and Shakespearean tragedy. May we never see it. ![]() I thought you all supported rolling those rickety tanks to Niamey....... hahahahhahaha. Its only those oil & gas infrastructures in delta region i pity. I bet it will just take one week constant drone strike to set it all ablaze. Oil price will shoot up. Russia & Iran will be more richer. Nigerians will be more hungry, the protest will force the military to kick out the idiot! For two weeks we keep telling you all the foolishness of the war, because they no give this chop chop food, his ogbolo eyes don open! We love yorubans but their anti progress traits is too bad and irritates. Tufiakwa mutumina007: |
It seems Wike has cancer...... I remembered when he said people poisoned him. Wont be surprised the ex gov have a slow eating cancer tormenting him day & night! |
So lazy & stupid..... cant you emulate Obidients and dig out facts like we have unravel the chico baggy man; Bola Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu, who we are yet to confirm if he/she indeed was the one admitted & graduated from CSU? Dont be lazy and stupid at the same time.... For your information, HE Peter Obi was in UK recently and will be back sometime within sept AuschwitzPrefec: |
The first real casualty will be the Nigerian Oil & Gas Infrastructures in Niger Delta region which will go up in flames due to drone strikes. After that knock out blow, Oil prices will shoot up. More money for Russia, Iran & others! Nigeria is about to find out what happens to the neck & body when the head is used to break coconut RemoveEbola: |
This we already know. The old man shouting emilo kan has been given a chance, like buhari, but definetely worse than Buhari, he has failed. Hopefully he will be sent out of Aso Rock by the honorable judges! AntiTerrorist: |
Then you dont know why their pastors are the most successful seller of christianity..... fraud runs in their blood! Politics, govt, business, religion etc, they must do fraud! Bunkbars: |
There is no College/University anywhere in the world which do not require a minimum of O level certificate before granting an admission. Back then verification is hard, so they just collect your hard copy and file. That is where Asiwaju alibi will be unearthed. If you want to know his real name, ask for the application form he used for his visa before going to US. There you will find his real age, and family links |
The US would have prevented this but he failed on the little errand he was given: INVADE NIGER within 7 days! His records will be made public once the States Dept gives a "No Object" signal. Asiwaju is a liablity to the US, else by now Niger coupists would be begging for negotiation. But how can you beg some one he have more legitimacy than? |
The best Asiwaju can get is a rerun.... even at that, he stands disqualified if the letters of the law is applied judiciously! He wont join in a rerun if it gets to that point. Even if he joins, Asiwaju will still lose in Osun, Lagos, Abuja, Kano, Rivers & Kaduna. The only place he stands a chance is Ekiti & Oyo. This time around, there wont be Prof Yaks. Every one will see the election result trickle in like in Kenya.... no stupid collation of result by old thieves cooking up figures they cant back! He is free to loot the $3b loan he took, he should just go with it so that a healthy, serious person can set Nigeria on the path of growth. |
Asiwaju has been written off. He knows. All the allies knows. The West knows that if Asiwaju has even 20% legitimacy they will achieve much in Niger, but his drug sanctions in the USA, not some banana republic, his known corruption and thuggery all complicated his woes. The West is in a fix, all eyes on the Judiciary. Tinubu prayer is that he should be allowed to a rerun, not with Obi who he know would trounce him even in his bedroom but with Atiku who he has a fair chance of winning. You think if Asiwaju knows he wont be tossed out, he will threaten the judges cynically or asked for a rerun? For your information, Asiwaju prayers is not that he won, and backed with proves but that he should be allowed to a rerun with Atiku! Asiwaju failed the West who expected him to storm Niamey quickly before the Coupists become organized or get backing. He failed. V-POTUS Kamala was very clear on that when she called. But can Asiwaju ever be alive to his responsibility? Hell no! |
Lies & nonsense.... After PEPT we will know about these. For now he should enjoy DSS na family matter. Na APC vs APC ![]() spy9ja: |
Even the old cultist don chuck in! Na Igbo matter they know how to make nuisance of themselves with. Anyone of them who dare talk will be picked like a rat! RemoveEbola: |
The pig no expect the ban from the drug mule.... At least we don hear since last week. Contract pig no see. Visit pig no see, come chop ban on top! ![]() |
Chico baggy man ban the pig, these ones are gaslighting Igbos...... When you eat Asiwaju agbado your thought process get confused!Morbeta11: |
The pig now understands a lot of people can do without shouting "YES SIR" to rogue politicians!!!! The same same Causasians you slow pokes are dying to please every day to the point of fighting a war on their behalf, gentles like us dey put them to work! Sometimes you have to tell pigs your worth so they know their level ![]() Tell the true, have you entered a plane before? Dont be ashamed. ![]() More like bulablu...... Borrowing in USD to strengthen Naira. Go and ask a 12 yr old boyi in Main market to teach you guys basic economics of Supply & Demand that made Onitsha has the highest number of upstairs in Africa. Not those nonsense WEALTH WITHOUT ENTERPRISE you slow pokes practice! Borrow borrow! Hundred of folks like you are in my inbox asking for a role. Wont be surprised you are one of them. Too bad, Nairaland is a faceless forum where idiots can post anonymously. As for our Portfolio.......Go and verify!!! That is the word! Go and verify! We are not like your chico baggy man! After trekking know who to forward your frustration to....... Asiwaju! MT: |
