I personally think that Cambridge Ogas at the top wanted to convey a liberal image and so pushed this through

This scene from dirty Harry may clarify my thoughts

Performative liberalism

Meanwhile during Jim crow Civil rights activists had to ensure anyone put forward was 101%

Rosa Parks was not the first person to refuse to give up her seat. But the first person who did so was an unwed mother and that is what the media would have focused on to change the narrative.

I am sure there were enough sterling candidates that Cambridge could have taken for this role but they chose to self sabotage by rushing the process and taking the least qualified but best packaged box ticker.

Your run of the mill corporate employer in naija will vet your credentials. A Google search can confirm a lot of what is in your cv. If there was no internal pressure, this would have ended at the interview stage. It is not as if Jason was weaving intricate impenetrable falsehoods.

Someone made HR waive all the protocols in place because they were engaging in performative DEI and they wanted someone who would tick all possible boxes.

cambridge no try as if they had done proper due diligence mr arday would not have been elevated to his position in the first place. likely there was serious internal mgt pressure .Normally in instances like this you have to get a person with an impeccable record because down the line he will be challenged. If Barack obama had any dirt on him, you can be sure the right wing press would have jumped on it.

Comey needed his wife to explain the non violent meaning. A Juris doctor, US Attorney in mafia New York,a Deputy AG and an FBI director needed his wife to explain what every hoodlum in the street knows.

Get real.

Black man and victim mentality na 5&6. 😒

A simple Google search would reveal that even O'Reilly was subjected to media scrutiny back in 2024. But reading the story of the two men, you already begin seeing the difference almost as soon as you do. O'Reilly did not resign and endured the investigation, from which Cambridge eventually cleared him for reasons best known at this point to the counsel. Arday resigned from his post as soon as the heat came on. 😒

You also need to examine some of the claims he made in his memoir. Yes, he wrote a book about himself, further opening himself up to public scrutiny. People from his past, including some who attended primary school with him, chimed in, confirming the falsehoods of many claims made. If you open up to be scrutinized, shouldn't you at least expect people to do just that... scrutinize you? 😒

Also, have you at least watched one of Arday's lectures? I have taken some time to review his teaching in order to understand some of the complaints made by former students. After watching that, I think the student may have been on to something, if not on point.

So its now a case of if the thief was a white skin man

The better perspective is why must you be a thief

Like I said, if you have no skeleton in your cupboard, you have nothing to fear

If you’re going to play the race card, please play it right. No blemish.

Jason Arday should have never lied. Not even once. Not even a little bit. That would have saved us all black people. Racism already creates a higher burden of scrutiny,

They are already looking for opportunities to discredit us. Looking for a reason to not include us.

GIVE THEM NONE.

Everything we do as black people should be excellent.

My oppressor may have the power to affect my circumstances, but I refuse to give them the satisfaction of seeing me defeated by it.

A murderer who plans usually has an alibi.
See how you people twist yourself into pretzels to support evil.

Fck you can mean so many things depending on context.
I hope you are wise enough to know the different meanings. It could be an insult and it could be an exclamation of amazement

Kobojunkie:
So, the media wouldn't have had any way of investigating him or witch-hunting him had he not been the 1st black CU professor? Is this not an obvious logical fallacy that I smell here, from a professor at that? 😒😒

femi4:
If you dont have skeleton in your cupboard, you wont be afraid of interview

Ben Carson et al wrote books n granted interviews cos they were REAL

Real people are like open book that's available for everyone to read

AndroBlaze:
So every black person that achieves something in the Western world should be afraid of the media abi.....

I wonder, if someone like Obama had taken this advice, would he have ever had the chance to become a Senator, let alone the first minority President in a modern America!

This thing is not as complicated as people are making it out to be. My advice to fellow immigrants is no matter what you achieve, stay true to yourself and the community that you know birthed/molded you....if you keep this rule, it will guide you and save you from most of the invisible traps that are being set.

DoWhatThouWilt:
She is a professor. She worked hard for it and she probably has knowledge she would like to share but she knows she is black (Of African origin) and she understands her environment very well. So she decided to avoid EVERY interview.

That is HUMILITY. Humility is not weakness. When you are HUMBLE, you will have common sense that will make you take wise decisions.

Before you japa to work or further your education in a white man's land, drop that your "i beta pass my neighbor" mentality if you want to live in peace overseas.

That mentality may have worked for you very well here in this lawless terrain but it will NEVER work for you in their land.

BE HUMBLE

If there is justice Comey is ihot soup.
His wife texted him the meaning of 87 two minutes before he posted it on X.

Comey being a lawyer,a NY prosecutor,a District Attorney,Deputy AG abd FBI director knew what slang 86 meant.

Bro sexual incongruence is what leads to transgender. If it occurs in animals why is it a surprise humans experience it?

basilico:
Gender = Sex.

You are totally brainwashed.
I'll change my mind when I see a transgender cow.

LordReed:
Gender ≠ Sex

You are in for a shock then.

GloriousGbola:
it is not wike

it is the actions the northern caucus pulled in 2023

they gambled that atiku would win the election and they lost.

if atiku had won, pdp would be back in the center

as they are not close to the center so pdp requires money from state governors or big wigs to operate

that would be the SS governors who watched how wike carried the party for 8 years and then got brutused at the primaries

i thought pdp would have split , but instead, it has simply been abandoned

UzorIyke:
Omo, see how PDP just crumble, once powerful party in Nigeria, now it is nothing.
They don't even have a candidate at all.

Richtaiwo:
This Atiku keeps jumping from one dirty mud to the other like a toad.

So, the issue is no longer whether Tinubu graduated from Chicago University, it has now shifted to NYSC certificate? Then who exactly is Bola Ahmed Adenkunle? I thought his overgrown puppies had assured us that Tinubu had no parents or relatives. Who, in this wide world, actually bears the name Bola Tinubu?

Politics ought to be a contest of ideas, competence and achievements, not a desperate search for technicalities to disqualify an opponent. When a candidate has nothing substantial to sell to the people, the temptation is often to spend more energy disqualifying the other man than proving one's own worth. That is not politics, it is intellectual bankruptcy.

Jakumo:
I was thinking the same thing. Rather than remove the man's hand and raise the alarm, this woman's first instinct was to photograph the hand that was stealthily exploring her tasty-looking silky thigh, for the enlightenment of Nairaland's Vaseline and soapy crew, as it were.

emkz:
It is becoming increasingly clear that the opposition is completely bereft of how to attain critical mass to win the 2027 elections.

1. What does Kalu Kalu want the European Commission to do with his petition?

2. Does European Commission have oversight over Nigeria?

3. Why did he lie in his petition? Does the electoral law require certificates? Not explicitly.

In 2023, Atiku went to Chicago to live a lie that Tinubu never graduated. When he was told Tinubu graduated, he claimed it was a female Tinubu. Some people were now looking at Tinubu one kain and made AI pictures of a female version of Tinubu.

Today, what has changed? Atiku paid one lobbying firm to clean his image in the US and counter Nigeria's government narrative (https://www.vanguardngr.com/2026/04/atiku-hires-us-lobbying-firm-for-1-2m-to-boost-reputation/). This is the same Atiku who was mentioned in several US reports as laundering over $40 million through someone. In May, the lobbying firm Atikue paid $1.2 million to swore Atiku would visit the US and engage with critical American stakeholders to discuss bad governance, insecurity, and economic hardship (https://punchng.com/atiku-to-visit-us-over-nigerias-insecurity-governance-concerns/). Paul Ibe [url][/url] announced it too (https://www.vanguardngr.com/2026/05/atiku-to-visit-us-over-insecurity-bad-economy-governance-aide/). They even claimed the US Congress had invited Atiku (https://www.legit.ng/nigeria/1708069-breaking-atiku-reportedly-invited-by-congress/). It has been more than three months, why has Atiku not travelled to meet US congressmen?

Atiku, we have advised you to avoid certain individuals. Some of them have already avoided you, like Daniel Bwala, Ifeanyi Okowa, and Nduka Obaigbena. Please avoid Kalu Kalu. He made that trip to Brussels so you'd engage him and draw him close so he can be collecting money from you to do damage to Tinubu.

You dare mention the word "paedophile "

FalseProphet1:
I see the foul smell reaching the entire country. I see content creators using it to make money, I see pastors organizing large crusades and making billions from it because people are afraid of the smell.

I see tinubu and his data boys blaming Peter Obi for the smell, I see Donald Trump attributing the smell to bandits and boko harm, I see Gumi telling tinubu to negotiate with bandits so that the smell will stop, I see Peter Obi traveling to Bangladesh to understand how to get rid of foul smell.

This I have seen.
