Politics / Re: Atiku's Gameplan Is To Unseat Tinubu Through Disqualification by DoTheNeedful: 4:42am On Aug 26, 2023
Ofunaofu:


It actually agbadorians and Tinubu minions like you that gloat over any thread that seems to portray Tinubu in some bad light. You all will leave the subject matter of discourse to be attacking Peter Obi, labour party, obidients and Igbos that got absolutely nothing to do with it

At the bolded, the GCE result presented by Peter Obi have never been questioned, while the only result presented by Tinubu is not only questionable but also at moment a subject matter being scrutinized both in Nigeria and abroad which is capable of bringing the great Chicago state university from where Tinubu procured the degree result from into an international disrepute


Do you even know the meaning of gloat? You can't gloat over what you are not happy about, olodo!

By the way, I brought up the issue of Obi not presenting his BSc and NYSC certificates, because you guys also complain about BAT not presenting primary and WAEC certificates.

The Obi you Obidients like to embellish is just another corrupt Nigerian politician that has skeletons in his cupboard. I don't have anything against him. In fact, I would vote for Obi 1000 times over Atiku, but I strongly abhor how the Obidients paint him and elevate him above every other Nigerian politician. He is just another Nigerian politician who refused to conduct local government elections for 7 years, stole state money, hid money in tax havens, anointed a successor (Obiano) and demanded 7bn naira from him, campaigned for Akunyili with the tone of tribalism etc. Obi is a typical Nigerian politician, but Obidients make him seem like the best thing since slice bread.

OP created a thread discussing Atiku and Tinubu but as a typical agbadorian and Tinubu minion you left the substance of the discussion and begin to talk about Peter Obi and Igbo

Honestly, you need serious medical attention bro


Those of you that make comments like this are trying to be clever by half. Although Atiku is the person challenging Tinubu's CSU records, it is the Obidients that are gloating over it on nairaland, twitter, facebook and youtube. Almost every thread/tweet/post on Tinubu's CSU records was made by Obidients. Therefore, it is very appropriate to highlight the hypocrisy of Obidients, given the fact that Obi himself only presented a GCE certificate to INEC. No BSc, no NYSC. In the case of Tinubu, no primary, no secondary.

Obidients are very terrible hypocrites.

sad Shege promaximus repackaged and reloaded. Just imagine the pain, anguish and disappoint of people with the current reality of things. Tinubu was rigged in because of drug-induced emilokan mentality.

Now here we are. Nigerians are barely surviving with food let alone other necessities of life. Hospitalizations this day is what you will never wish even your worst enemy while domestic and international travels now is hellish because of the economic burden.

Tinubu government is just using Nigeria for experimentation. The overhyped clueless economic illiterate appointed recycled criminals as minister and continue to reshuffled them like pack of whot cards.

So many economic policies somersault with painful catastrophic consequences. After all, he promised to continued to continue the disastrous policies of the undesired Buhari government.

I have been pointing out on this forum, the chronic inferiority complex of the Obidients. The twitter screenshot you put up there is significant because a White man tweeted it. Nothing gives you more validation than that.

Politics / Re: President Bola Tinubu Graduated From Our University - CSU To Atiku by DoTheNeedful: 4:07am On Aug 25, 2023
Nyceguy92:
The CSU appears to have willingly chosen to sound vague by using only the names Tinubu or Bola Tinubu, leaving out Adekunle and Ahmed.

Besides, the university has responded in a manner and tone that suggests it is the counsel defending Tinubu. Sounds like a script from somewhere.

On one hand it claimed the info Atiku is seeking has no relevance in the election petition, on the other hand it acknowledged ignorance of the workings of the Nigerian judicial system.

Those who are quick run to conclusions should know that if they read the document very well, they will see that this is merely an opinion of the school. The court will have the final say when it eventually rules on the matter.

What Nigerians want to know is between Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Bola Adekunle Tinubu, who graduated from the CSU? Who is male and who is female. It's that simple.



I laughed out loud at the bolded. That was how you said INEC was supporting Tinubu. Now, it is CSU far away in America. Some of you are plain pathetic. Perhaps, it is time you start reconsidering your perspective about BAT, the last elections, and also start questioning if your opinions of him are just driven by sheer, unexplainable hatred.

Majority people that question the judgements of the Nigerian courts, especially at Appeal and Supreme courts, don't even read the judgements to understand the rationale behind those judgements. As corrupt as many of you claim the judiciary is, courts pass judgements base on evidences. You should wonder why Atiku had to sue CSU to release BAT's academic records. He is trying to prove his case beyond all reasonable doubts. #AllEyesOnTheJudiciary people should get this into your ignorant skulls: If you provide incontrovertible evidences in court, it would be extremely difficult for a "corrupt" judge to miscarry justice in your case.

Back to the topic, you think the US courts dish out subpoenas like cookies without legal basis? What I am saying is that based on "FERPA", Atiku has no legal basis for getting Tinubu's records. The school has confirmed multiple times that Tinubu attended CSU. What Atiku is trying to get from the school are Tinubu's records such as age, gender, grades, admission letter, etc. I say boldly that this will never be granted. I got a graduate degree in US, and I currently belong to the academia there and I can confidently say that Atiku's petitions will not be granted.

livebyday:
Atiku Abubakar v. Chicago State University: UPDATE and a deeper dive into Atiku Abububakar’s quest to unmask BAT MAN through the US courts

WALK WITH ME 🧵 1/2

- Atiku Abubakar satisfied all the conditions for Jurisdiction and venue pursuant to section 28 U.S.C. § 1782, 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 as he (Atiku) is an interested person, and the order for discovery he sought was for use in Abubakar v. INEC & ors pending in the Nigerian Court of Appeal while the respondent CSU is a public university established in Chicago and existing under the laws of Illinois, with principal campus and offices located within the Illinois district.

- Atiku is also requesting “Documents” which include all objects belonging to BAT, tangible or intangible, from which information may be derived, Assignments, periodicals, coursework, photographs, text messages, agreements, correspondence, electronic or other video recordings of any type etc and electronic data which must be produced with all their metadata and the name of the custodians.

This means even if BAT has a football jersey with his name on it or a Lipstick or makeup kit still in the school’s custody, CSU will turn it over to Atiku. Also if CSU has tried to alter anything on their electronic records with respect to BAT, the metadata of the electronic files will expose them and the person in charge (custodian) will be called upon to explain.

- He’s also asking for all documents produced by CSU in response to any request (by subpoena or otherwise) by Mr. Tinubu or any other person for CSU records relating to Mr. Tinubu. This means every document given to Enahoro Ebah, and every document given to Tinubu (the documents Wole Olanipekun tendered) and any other person (including the letter Reno keeps shouting himself hoarse over) should be turned over to he and his team.(We will finally know if Reno officially requested documents or was just grandstanding and modeling in front of CSU)

Atiku also wants the certification they used on all documents and the process of the certification, the drafts of the certification and all communications to from or within CSU on the certifications, and all Documents sufficient to reflect the format, contents, and certifications of CSU diplomas issued by CSU for B.S. degrees from 1979, including documents sufficient to demonstrate any modifications to the format, contents, and certification of CSU diplomas from 1979 to the present. (I know where Atiku is going with this. He is either trying to establish that the certificate Tinubu submitted to INEC did not come out of CSU or that all the subsequent documents tendered by Olanipekun SAN on behalf of BAT and referenced in his final address are fakes that either did not come out of CSU or were fraudulently procured and certified with connivance of dirty corrupt CSU officials without the proper certification process of the university or that CSU officials are downright corrupt and compromised

The implication of the latter 2 would be very grave and have a devastating ripple effect. (Imagine the backlash of having a SAN tender Oluwole Pro - Max Documents on your behalf?

- All documents certified by Jamar Orr, Esq. the Deputy General Counsel for CSU or by any other person employed by or acting on behalf of CSU, for use by Mr. Tinubu or any other person or entity in relation to the Nigerian proceedings and if Jamar Orr, Esq is still in service of CSU and if not the reasons for his disengagement.
The way Atiku is going about this thing, any international collaborators will smell jail o! If they collected any money from BAT they shouldn’t spend it yet o!

I am ready to deactivate my account if the court orders CSU to release Tinubu's record.

The United States in general don't joke with personal information and personal academic record. I studied at graduate level in the US and I know how protective schools are with student records. The may rarely release a student record for national security purposes, and not to a political adversary like Atiku.

Kindly google "FERPA and students' academic records". The best the school could do is to confirm that Tinubu was a student. That Tinubu is asking the court not to release his record has put paid to everything. You can't release academic information without consent of the owner in America. I stand tall to be corrected.

Please, if the court orders anything contrary, my usename is "DoTheNeedful", insult and call me a bast<rd.

Similarly, Obi who "saved" millions of dollars of state money into a bank he had stake in would not dare contesting.

https://twitter.com/MissPearls/status/1692440710908416288?t=NCrQQiTAXuckM2a_yDBgAQ&s=08

Something very INTERESTING is happening with the Atiku/BAT’s case in the USA.
A lot of people don’t really know the details but I took my time, went through court documents, did some more researches and brought you a summary.

WALK WITH ME!

So, Atiku’s case in the USA is perhaps the most IMPORTANT part of the electoral Jigsaw puzzle on qualification of BAT for the following reasons:

- One of the constitutional requirements to qualify for election as president in Nigeria is to be educated up to at least the school certificate level or its equivalent.

- BAT listed and submitted Chicago State University (CSU) as the only school he attended on his INEC form EC9. This satisfies (or is equivalent to) the requirement of the constitution.

- Atiku’s US case aims to lift the veil on the foundational documents BAT used to qualify for and gained that admission

- Yes, you guessed right. Documents like transcript, biodata, WAEC result, testimonial from previous school (s) etc.

In summary all such documents that laid the foundation upon which BAT’s subsequent qualifications were built, if they exist, are covered by that subpoena Atiku is in court for.

- If it is confirmed that BAT’s foundational educational documents belonged to someone else i.e a female and that he appropriated someone else’s identity to gain admission into CSU, it would mean that ALL subsequent qualifications built on it, will collapse like a pack of cards due to identity theft/fraud.

CSU will have no choice than to withdraw any certificate awarded to that identity if they are properly petitioned.

- It will definitely become an international scandal (imagine the headlines : Nigerian NARCO Bagman President also guilty of Identity theft)

- On the home front, with the international collapse of his CSU certificate and exposure of the fraudulent foundational documents, he will fall short of that sacred constitutional requirement of being educated up to school certificate level or its equivalent, as there will be NO evidence to prove otherwise (He go explain tire 😊)

- The courts won’t need to ask any questions. From what he filled in his form EC9, he already submitted that he had no other qualification. If CSU certificate fails then he is AUTOMATICALLY deemed as not qualified in the eyes of the Law.

- An international scandal of such dimensions would force the Supreme Court’s hand. If it becomes a notorious international fact that BAT does not have a WAEC/School Cert result or it’s equivalent, they’ll have no choice but to apply the constitution in its strict sense to DISQUALIFY him.

- This is why TINUBU is FIGHTING SO HARD through his Lawyers to prevent this records from being released to the Atiku team

He does not want the Nigerian people or the world to know that HE DOES NOT HAVE THE MINIMUM WAEC QUALIFICATION or ITS EQUIVALENT! and that the documents he’s been parading belong to someone else!

- Atiku is a very ‘wicked adversary’ 😂

He wants to help Nigerians solve a TRANSGENDER mystery.

He will do this by dragging A BAT from the Darkness of Nigeria’s murky politics to the LIGHT of international embarrassment.

We All Are Watching!

#AllEyesOnTheJudiciary


As long as he attended CSU, there is no problem. The educational system in Nigeria is totally different from US. That Atiku is trying to ask questions about his WAEC is laughable. In America, there is what they call homeschooling, whereby people might not go to conventional schools till they get into the university.

I believe even if Tinubu didn't finish secondary school in Nigeria, he could still have gotten admission into universities in America. There are so many differences between how education works in America and in Nigeria.

I am all for kicking out Tinubu if he's proven to have rigged the election. However, I don't appreciate trying to remove people from offices using backdoor means like this. What I see here is pure hatred or jealousy of someone.

Politics / Re: Nigeria Should ANNEX Niger Republic. Discuss. by DoTheNeedful: 3:54am On Aug 10, 2023
Quintessence44:
The Nigerian military is 4 TIMES MORE POWERFUL than the militaries of all the 5 coup nations of the Sahel combined, according to world military experts.

They should be able to win a war in Niger, despite those other nations like Mali, Burkina Faso, Chad and co promising to fight alongside Niger.

In the event that Nigeria engages Niger, I reckon she should just find a way to ANNEX that country, and become even bigger, more powerful and influential with those uranium deposits.

Leaving Niger to be 'sovereign' simply means handing that country over to France.

So we ANNEX Niger, and change the name of our massively enlarged country to THE SONGHAI REPUBLIC, after the great West African Empire of SONGHAI.

Or we can retain the name NIGERIA. No problem.

Do not be intimidated by the size of Niger in that map.

They are less than 25 million people there.

Less than the population of Lagos!

That whole place should be Nigerian territory if we are a serious nation!

Thanks all. smiley




If Nigeria annexes Niger, then you would have enpowered the North further. No Southerner will ever rule Nigeria again.

Hausa, Fulani and Kanuri form 67% of the current Niger. These three groups also form around the same percentage of Northern Nigeria. They are both Muslims as well. The sense of kinship between the Muslim Northerners and Nigeriens is very strong. I could bet that a Nigerian Fulani/Hausa would choose a Nigerien over a Yoruba/Igbo. You could see how passionate the Northerners have been in fighting against military intervention in Niger. Recall also, that Buhari as a military head of State supported a Nigerien over a Southern Nigerian for an international position.

It is interesting how the Northerners have stronger attachment to Niger than South Westerners to Benin Republic.

Politics / Re: Sanni Abacha. A Hero Or Villain? See What I Read About Abacha That's So Convinci by DoTheNeedful: 7:02am On Jul 28, 2023
Chijeep:
I Saw this piece online and after reading through I asked myself why is this man so hated that much despite all these great achievements or was hate politics played on him just as we have nowadays that painted him black in the eyes of the masses?

Hate Sani Abacha as you wish, his records of prudent management are yet to be broken.

the writeup I Saw online...
Gen.Abacha executed big projects without taking loans, spurred the impressive that no matter the intensity of the "loot propaganda" against him and his family he is a hero and a visionary leader.

Here are some of the projects he executed within 4 years and 7 months his administration lasted without taking any loan.

1, National Assembly Complex.

2, Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG)

3, Federal Medical Centers (FMC) in all the State Capitals.

4, National Hospital Abuja.

5, Women and Children hospital, So koto

6, Aminu Kano Hospital, Kano

7, Gwarinpa Housing Estate.

8, Apo legislative quarters

9, Aluminum Smelting Company, Akwa Ibom

10, PTF drugs and beds in all the federal government hospitals.

11, PTF roads, and water projects across Nigeria.

12, Lecture halls, campus buses and hostels in all the Federal universities.

13, Establishment and funding of the National Health Insurance Scheme.

14, Federal Mass Assisted Bus Service.

15, Revival of the Nigerian Ports Authority

16, Revival of Nigerian Railways.

17, Export Processing Zones

18, Groundwork for mobile telecommunications in Nigeria.

19, Groundwork for Nigeria's nuclear electricity with Uranium.

20, Payment of all the debts of federal contractors.

Recall that Nigeria's foreign reserve was $494 million in 1993 when Abacha took over as the Head of States. With crude oil as Nigeria's major earner dangling between $8-$9 per barrel, Abacha still grew it to $9.6 billion by the middle of 1997, decreased Nigeria's debt from $36 billion to $27 billion, reduced an inflation rate of 54% inherited from Ernest Shonekan to 8.5% between 1993 and 1998.


Just by reading this, I could tell that you are in your 20s. You were not born or old enough to know how terrible the life of an average Nigerian was under Abacha, not to talk about how people lived in constant fear. Foreign direct investments were all time low under Abacha. His administration was the most terrible.

By the way, most of what you listed there are not true. Also note that every administration will have a list of "accomplishments". Buhari's administration listed over 200 (compare to the 20 you listed for Abacha) of those "accomplishments" in 8 years, yet a lot of people believe that Buhari's administration was subpar.

A lot of Obidients thrive on conspiracy theories, lies and misinformation. Unfortunately, many unscrupulous elements are feeding on these weaknesses to grow their social media and YouTube following e.g. NedMedia.


We have been telling them that Obi didn't prove anything in court for the court to rule in his favor. He has not been able to show the court the number of votes that he was deprived of, the number of votes to be subtracted from Tinubu's and/or Atiku's votes. He has also not shown how the non-transmission of the votes electronically has affected him. If you are familiar with court judgements about elections in Nigeria, you would know that these are usually the things judges base their decisions upon.

I can bet with everything I have in this world that the court will not deliver victory for Obi, maybe a rerun at best. The very intelligent ones among the Obidients know this and that is why they are looking into disqualifying Tinubu based on other technicalities like the so called Shettima double nomination and so on.

How do you prove in court that BAT has dual citizenship? With what evidence? The document that you are relying on is being challenged here by BAT's lawyers. Is the purported passport certified? Based on the Evidence Act, it cannot be used because it is expired. Expired document of any type cannot be admitted as evidence in the court of law. Also, Olanipekun is contending that PDP smuggled the passport issue into the petition through the backdoor after the 21 days period for filing election petition had expired.

It will be dismissed. Law no be for everbody o. If Law was straightforward like some of you make it seem, people will not be paying lawyers millions to defend them. They would just be defending themselves by quoting the constitution like you are doing. grin grin

To be honest, all Olanipekun did in 87% of his defence was utilise legal technicalities.

Unfortunately he was not able to counter most of the petitions against B.A.T with any evidence.

If the court decides to judge the case by the merit of evidence, you do realise Olanipekun will be shamed, because he actually could not defend B.A.T.

With all due respect, I see those of you hammering Olanipekun for winning based on technicalities as hypocrites. If Obi and Atiku wanted to win their cases based on substance, their arguments would be largely based on showing the court that they got the majority of the lawful votes cast. Rather, the are trying to void the election based on Shetima's double nomination, a forfeiture of over 30 years, 25% FCT, Guinean passport and so on.

The fact is that the petitioners are looking more at getting Tinubu out of the way using technicalities too. Let's be honest here.

By the way, it takes an extremely brilliant lawyer, with years of experience and legal depth to win cases based on technicalities.

Oga intelligent, the only employed nairaland member that is not underemployed, weh done!
As someone that reads widely & going by your bolded statement, since my expired passport doesn’t nullify my citizenship does that mean your revered SAN of 32years meant that his client is still a citizen of Guinea?

For the records, I really do not care who wins in court.


If the work of a lawyer was that easy, people would not be studying law for 5 years plus 1 year at law school. You still have problem understanding my previous post. Olanipekun is not deliberating on Guinean citizenship at all. He's telling the court to ignore the so-called evidence all together, because the purported passport was obtained from the internet, not certified, and expired. Even if the passport belonged to Tinubu, it has no probative value in court because it has expired.

I will not engage you in any argument about Tinubu's Guinean citizenship, because his lawyers are not even debating that. This is one of the reasons people pay brilliant lawyers millions (in dollars sometimes ) to defend them.

Chai, if your Nigerian passport expires better go and look for another country because you are not a Nigerian anymore! If you want to be a Nigerian again, renew your passport!


maupe:
Lead counsel to Tinubu in his written address to the court in his case against PDP/Atiku once again said that Tinubu's Guinean citizenship expired the moment his Guinean passport expired in 2020

Below is the address.

popesco123:
Some bastaard dollard full here sha. Citizenship is granted by law. The life span of the passport booklet lies on the expiry date. Mumu every where.


The problem with some of you is that you don't read widely and you don't digest information properly before jumping up and down social media displaying your ignorance.

You think a jobless or underemployed person like you know better than a man that has been a Senior Advocate of Nigeria for 32 years? Olanipekun is arguing technically about the admissibility of the so-called evidence. The expiry date of the passport matters here because based on our law and the Evidence Act, no expired document is admissible in the court of law. There was never a place, both during cross examination or in the final address, where Olanipekun said that the expiration of a passport implied nullification of citizenship.

I don't think it's about hate, I think it has to do with thugs beating people in Lagos unless you are a yoruba and rigging ...... go to court, it's a stupid statement. Politics in Lagos for the past 2 decades is a disgrace to democracy, who built it that way ... Tinubu.
Everything about that man smells thuggish. I am not a fan


You are not honest with your response. We were all here before elections. This hatred did not start after Feb. 25. They wished APC gave the presidential ticket to Lawan sef instead of Tinubu. The hatred is real.

Obidients who mostly claimed that Wole Olanipekun like to win court cases with technicality and not substance are the ones trying to use every technicality to get Tinubu out of the way.

One thing is clear, Obidients hate Tinubu with passion. They just want him out of the way. I thought this was about proving that Obi won. If Obi actually won, I pray that he's declared as winner by the court. The way I am seeing things, Obidients just want Tinubu out for reasons best known to them. Most of them would prefer Atiku to be winner to Tinubu.

The defense is poor because it misinterpretes the issues raised by the petitioners. If Olanipekun does not know what he is defending he should ask Livy


Can you state the issues the defense misinterprets? I spent over two hours carefully reading it and I can't see the misinterpretation. It carefully handles all the points raised by the petitioner. The only area in the defense that doesn't impress me was that of 25% FCT. Every other area was spot on.

What did he say about tinubu drug forfeiture ?

He addressed the drug issue from every angle possible, and contested even if it were true, it happened 30 years ago. He quoted the constitution where it says criminal conviction could only prevent you for 10 years. I think he gave the best argument against the drug forfeiture. The weakest argument was against 25% in FCT in my opinion.

In all, Wole Olanipekun and co did a great job. I am waiting for Obi's lawyers.

Shamelessness @ it peak. A question I wish to ask the APC and the criminal Organisation filled with shameless institutional election riggers, that with the incongruent results on INEC data base, the overt denial of results issued by it and the general conducts in the shambolic 2023 presidential election does they think they have a moral conscience?


Oketupa is a clown, a twitter lawyer. He sounds more like an activist than a lawyer. According to the argument in the final address, which I also read in the electoral act, IREV is not the primary material for collation. More importantly, IREV is third in hierarchy and it's not even the last resort. In other words, the electoral act preempted the failure of IREV. The police copies are the documents of last resort for collation. So, if IREV failed totally, what happened to proving irregularities with the police copies?

This final address is mentally stimulating. There is a reason why Wole Olanipekun is the best lawyer in Nigeria when it comes to election matters.

That man is brilliant! The address tackled the petition from every angle possible: etymologically, logically and legally. The address, even for the case of argument, assumed some of the petitioners' arguments and still contests the legally and the logicality of those arguments.

Mehn , people are good in this country. I hope LP's lawyers will impress me too.
