Well, if wikipedia says something, it is generally a good idea to do your own investigation on the side to figure if what you read is not made up.

Sure, but both "independent" sites reference wikipedia as source of info. It could be that the one site still continues old unmodified copy of the profile on Tinubu on wiki.

what did Figo do with Portugal ? George Weah with Liberia ?

Kaka is a consistent club and national team player, let Messi win something at senior team level b4 we get carried away with his club level exploits.

Kaka is thriving on reputation rather than actual performance on the pitch. In the last two years Messi, xavi,Iniesta,Fabregas, David Villa, Drogba

Rooney, Ronaldo et al have all outperformed the overrated kaka.

El Tor's just coming back from injury. . . he only scores really important goals

"Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu never attended either the University of Chicago or the Chicago State University at anytime contrary to his claims. Neither did he obtain any B. Sc degree in Economics or Business Administration from any university. Indeed, he never qualified as a certified public accountant," he said.

Tinubu worked for American companies Arthur Andersen, Deloitte, Haskins, amp; Sells, and GTE Services Corporation. After returning to Nigeria in 1983 Bola Tunubu obtained work with Mobil Oil Nigeria, becoming an executive of the company.

University of Chicago is a more prestigious school than university of illinois. There was nothing innocent about that error. Its like someone who attended Oxford-Brookes university disingenously leaving out the Brookes to make it appear they attended University of Oxford. He should have been proud of the fact that he attended university without resorting to what he did. Ivy league schools only apply to universities in the NorthEastern axis of the US. It doesn't mean that there aren't other prestigious schools outside that axis. University of Chicago is one of the most prestigious schools in the US and Tinubu lied that he attended it.

Are you stating that you are unaware of the scandals he had when he was governor? He claimed he attended university of Chicago when he in fact attended the university of Illinios. Also, I remember that Gani went to court with regards to a forged certificate from Toronto. I doubt that Gani would have wasted his time doing such if there was no basis for it. You lifted something from Tinubu's website, I doubt he would have self-incriminating information on his website.

Tinubu went to the United States in 1975, where he studied first at Richard J. Daley College in Chicago, Illinois and then at Chicago State University. He graduated in 1979 with a Bachelors of Science degree in Accounting.[1]

If your measure of his success as governor is solely on his ability to keep his state afloat without receiving the state's allocation from the Fed govt, then I can not argue with your subjective measure.

I am of the opinion that he wasn't a success for a number of reasons. His symbiotic association with area boys,

I guess he found a way to become wealthy despite Lagos being starved of funds.

The brilliance of this young Nigerian showed in his ability to make the honours’ list of Richard Daley College. He subsequently transferred to the Chicago State University, Illinois, graduating with honours in 1979 and earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration (Accounting and Management). During his first year in Chicago State University, young Bola was given the rare privilege to partly teach other students of his Faculty remedial tutorial classes. Most of his colleagues and contemporaries at the university attributed their improved grades to his tutorial lectures.


Throughout his undergraduate years, young Bola was on the Dean’s List and was honoured with the Outstanding Student’s Award, the University Scholar’s Award and the Certificate of Merit in Accounting and Finance. He was also awarded the prestigious Sumna cum laude for scoring 3.54 out of possible 4.0 GP.


With his successful academic profile, young Bola contested and won his first political election as the President of the Accounting Society of the institution in his final year at the University.


Upon graduation with honours and several awards, Bola Tinubu cut his professional teeth at the American-based Arthur Anderson, Deloitte Haskins and Sells (now called Deloitte Haskins and Touche) and GTE Service Corporation - the largest Communication and Utility Company in the United States of America.


Meanwhile, at Deloitte Haskins and Sells, the young and professional Bola broadened his experience by participating in the auditing and management consultancy services of General Motors, First National Bank of Chicago, Procter and Gamble, International Harvester, GEC and other Fortune 500 firms.


On his return to Nigeria and with his international experience in Financial Management, young Bola joined Mobil Producing Nigeria as a Senior Auditor before he retired as the company’s Treasurer.

Tinubu lacks the moral right to accuse someone else of incompetency. When you compare Tinubu to some other clueless governors in his era, you may arrive at the conclusion that he had some success. But success, like other things, is relative. For all the resources and revenues at his disposal, Tinubu's government was a failure. As a manager, he was incompetent and corrupt.

Kevin Prince Boateng netted the first vital goal against the USA
RVP and Kuyt have both netted for Holland.

So how did the EPL players err in the competition?
