Olaadegbu has been suspiciously muted. Don't know if he was part of the MAGA rioters acting on their god's (Trump) command.

Or he realises that his job as a white-pretending-to-be-black online diainformant is nearly ending.
We wish him and his southern hilly billies and Yankees the best of luck.

They tried to rope Jesus into their sinful and evil white power game. But he rejected them all.

IN RESPONSE TO OBASEKI'S FORGERY CASE, AND SETTING THE RECORDS STRAIGHT

I believe there is need for me to reiterate the fact that I am not a member of any political party, neither am I affiliated to any political party in Nigeria. And I strongly doubt if I will ever belong to any political party. So, let's get that straight.

Still on the subject matter, firstly, Obaseki was accused of not having a credit pass in English language in one or two sittings. And secondly, it was said that he had just Three Credit passes without English. But bear in mind that he read Arts as a course. And for one to be admitted to read any Arts courses in the past, and, even now in Nigerian universities, one must have a credit pass in the English Language, which Obaseki doesn't have.

Up till now, nothing has been put forward by him to establish that he met the complete criteria to have been admitted to read any of the courses in UI. Also, I should have expected Obaseki and the UI authorities to re-tender the complete Degree certificate document, as well as his entry qualification details which they used to have admitted him into UI. That will end all the noise about Obaseki's eligibility to contest as Governor of Edo State.

This would not be the first time that I would have criticized politicians when they must have goofed. I criticize President Muhammadu Buhari more than any politician in Delta and Edo States. The simple fact is that Obaseki and the said Deputy Registrar has goofed. It is a shame for all of us because it will further dent Nigeria image, and the respected reputation of UI as Nigeria's premier university. Those still in doubt, should create time to read through this falsehood and reports by the supposed Deputy Registrar, Legal, Mr. Abayomi Ajayi, of the premier University.

As said by a friend, a man as enlightened as Obaseki and his informal Aide made a photocopy of his certificate without the date and signatures. What kind of mistake is that? That is, if it was even a mistake in the first place. Obaseki and his Aide should understand that a document without date or signatures is valueless. What prevented him from showing his original certificate with date and signatures on it when this case was instituted against him?

The usual certificate of Degrees are just the normal size of any Degree certificate. It doesn't make sense for a Deputy Registrar of a University to defend a document he terms as incomplete, as a legal document. What stopped the Registrar from tendering Obaseki's complete Degree certificate in their records to the court?

All of these tells you that the country is debauched with criminals in public offices. They can be bribed with money to fool themselves, even before a court, without being troubled if their integrity is stained along the line. It is obvious even to a person with poor judgement that the controversy surrounding the Obaseki's certificate forgery case has a lot of loopholes and questions.

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has submitted her resignation, saying President Donald Trump's role in spurring the mob that breached the US Capitol on Wednesday was "the inflection point," making her the second Cabinet member to resign over the incident.

In her resignation letter to Trump dated Thursday, which CNN obtained a copy of, DeVos called the rioters' behavior "unconscionable" and wrote, "There is no mistaking the impact your rhetoric had on the situation, and it is the inflection point for me."

"Impressionable children are watching all of this, and they are learning from us," she added.

"I believe we each have a moral obligation to exercise good judgment and model the behavior we hope they would emulate. They must know from us that America is greater than what transpired yesterday."

DeVos joins Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, who had announced her resignation earlier Thursday after taking "time to absorb" the insurrection on Capitol Hill and the President's response to it, according to a senior administration official.

"Today, there was a lot of soul-searching and discussion," a senior official said. "It was obviously the right thing to do."

Resignations had started Wednesday with first lady Melania Trump's chief of staff, the White House social secretary, a deputy press secretary and Trump's deputy national security adviser all exiting before the night's end. Other officials, sources told CNN, had been considering resigning.

The wave of abrupt exits came after Trump supporters -- spurred by the President -- had breached the Capitol on Wednesday and engulfed the nation's capital in chaos.

After hundreds of pro-Trump rioters pushed through barriers set up along the perimeter of the Capitol, demonstrators eventually made their way into the building and the House floor was evacuated by police.

Only after pleading from aides and congressional allies inside the besieged Capitol did Trump release a video urging the rioters to "go home," while still fanning their baseless grievances about a stolen election.

DeVos had said in a statement released Wednesday in the aftermath of the breach: "The eyes of America's children and students -- the rising generation who will inherit the republic we leave them -- are watching what is unfolding in Washington today. We must set a better example for them, and we must teach them the solemn obligations and duties that come with the title 'American.'"

A peaceful transfer of power, she said, "is what separates American representative democracy from banana republics."

A top Republican donor and school choice activist, DeVos was tapped to head the Department of Education in 2016. The President hailed her in a statement at the time as "a brilliant and passionate education advocate."

"Under her leadership we will reform the US education system and break the bureaucracy that is holding our children back so that we can deliver world-class education and school choice to all families," Trump said.

While DeVos' tenure was marred by intense criticism of her education policies -- particularly her support for charter schools -- her eagerness and effectiveness at delivering on conservative priorities kept allies of Trump happy.

Frederick M. Hess, an education policy expert at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, previously called her a "trust buster" and a threat to the education establishment.

That includes her advocacy for charter schools as well as rolling back of numerous Obama-era regulations and guidelines. Among these was the institution of new protections for college students accused of sexual assault, which her department called a restoration of due process.

Recently, she faced considerable scrutiny internally for rarely attending coronavirus meetings, despite the heavy focus on whether schools should remain open in the spring or open as scheduled in the fall.

But even in her resignation letter, DeVos touted what she called the Education Department's advocacy for "forgotten students" as she bemoaned how Wednesday's violence took away from the Trump administration's "many accomplishments."

"Holding this position has been the honor of a lifetime," DeVos said in concluding her message, "and I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to serve America and her students."

This story has been updated with additional information Thursday.

For those saying the capitol has never been breached before and that if it was blacks the police would have killed them ..please know some history

Robert Greene in his book "the laws if human nature" wrote on grandiosity.
Its a complex, that pulls down leaders, their country and followers with them.

When people keep on winning and feel that its their destiny to always win and then begin to make rash actions which clearly will bring them, as they feel that they have a destiny that no human calculation can bring down.

Trump operating on this grandiose nature, operated only on instinct, he threw out all scientific advice on quelling the spread of the virus and thoughtlessly proposed that Americans drink disinfectant to quell the virus.

He felt, Biden was too dumb to win him, he didn't know that it was bot about Biden, it was himself that he was running against as he alone had the power to mar or make things work for him.

With 250,000 dead, he still went on to advice his voters to not vote by mail, something that really came out to bite him and to bite him bad, and his legal team was headed by s lawyer that was out of practice for almost 30years, leading him on a streak of loses in courts, amounting to almost 100 loses.

He had the cult followers, people who contributed millions for him to run his case in court, people who would have turned up for him in 2024 to correct the mistakes of having told people to not use the mail in vote, he could have gone back to draw up plans to make it happen, he could have campaigned to ensure that Democrats lost in Georgia, thus loosing control of senate and having a chaotic 4term rule. But then, he worked for the democrats by telling republicans that the election is fraud thereby making them stay back.

And yesterday, all the incitement he had been fanning-up had fruition, and his hard liners took over congress, desecrating the American Democracy in full view of the whole world, and countries like Venezuela now had to tell Americans to allow the will of the people to stand.

Trump has been able to finally unite the whole American people into seeing what that could be at state in supporting an extremist and everyone will now try to work together to forestall this reoccurrence.

In the end, when the worst days in American Democracy is reviewed, it will be the President who incited a Coup on the Constitution and the will of the people that will take centre stage.
