Always talk about your own.Most states have only their state capitals as their cities what of the rest LGAs?
I'm in a popular city infact due to epilieptic power since January,my zone just sued our Disco to court and barred them from entering it for disconnections or whatsoever for 1 month now.

Imagine having light once 6hrs) in a one week.
I have so much work and bearing the deadline but tired of running generator.
2 weeks now I have been going to a tailors in another area to use their light.

It's very frustrating

Relocate!

Many cities have neighborhoods with near uninterrupted power.
The city you choose will depend on your budget.

Illorin, Osogbo, Jos are moderately priced.
Warri, Onitsha, Parts of PH are also okay.
For Lagos, Abuja, Uyo, Enugu ensure that your pocket is deep if you want to stay in neighborhoods with excellent power.

Just move. Even if na bedsitter. You'd breakeven in less than 3 months. And you can move to a larger place after the rent expires.

I just d laugh you. . You really don't know their mindsets. You don't. Qater and other countries are funding Hamas.

Islamic countries like Iran, all they do best in their parliament is chanting "Down Israel"

Read this raumdeuter post very well. That's what they want.

I gave you links stating the official position of the Palestinian President and you're referring to the chatter of lunatics and radicals.
Iran also chants "Death to America". But we've learned to treat that as background noise.

Let me repeat that the creation of a State of Palestine is not an existential threat to the State of Israel.

Jordan, Morocco, Azerbaijan, Turkey are Muslim countries with positive relations with Israel. Are they not authentic Muslims?
Was Iran chanting Down Israel under the Shah? Were they not Islamic then?

What kind of nonsense is that? In this 21st century?
So if your God gave you such instructions, then it is safe to say Allah and Usman dan fodio also had told his Fulani kith and kins that they own Nigeria and won't stop until they deep the Quran in the Atlantic aka conquering southern Nigeria.
Afterall, it is an instruction from their own God too.
What is good for christian is good for Muslim and what is good for isreal is good for Arabs and fulanis too

They're extremists.

The Caliphates had all the time in the world and resources to eradicate the Jews. They didn't. In fact, the Jews flourished.
By the end of the 16th century, the Ottoman Empire was home to the world's largest Jewish population.
But the opposition to the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine by the native 90+% of the population is being misconstrued as genocidal intent.

I'm sure if the Afrikaans had evicted the majority black population from South Africa, enforced unlimited Caucasian immigration, and used Genesis 1:28 as their rallying cry; these clowns will be singing a different tune.

The Arabs have made peace with the fact that Israel is here to stay.

By the way, let me paste the key points of the White Paper of 1939 which the Palestinians agreed to with the British Government.

Section I. The Constitution: It stated that with over 450,000 Jews having now settled in the mandate, the Balfour Declaration about "a national home for the Jewish people" had been met, and it also called for an independent Palestine to be established within 10 years and to be governed jointly by Arabs and Jews:

His Majesty's Government believe that the framers of the Mandate in which the Balfour Declaration was embodied could not have intended that Palestine should be converted into a Jewish State against the will of the Arab population of the country. [ ... ] His Majesty's Government therefore now declare unequivocally that it is not part of their policy that Palestine should become a Jewish State. They would indeed regard it as contrary to their obligations to the Arabs under the Mandate, as well as to the assurances which have been given to the Arab people in the past, that the Arab population of Palestine should be made the subjects of a Jewish State against their will.

The objective of His Majesty's Government is the establishment within 10 years of an independent Palestine State in such treaty relations with the United Kingdom as will provide satisfactorily for the commercial and strategic requirements of both countries in the future. [..] The independent State should be one in which Arabs and Jews share government in such a way as to ensure that the essential interests of each community are safeguarded.

Section II. Immigration: Jewish immigration to Palestine under the British Mandate was to be limited to 75,000 over the next five years and then would depend on Arab consent:

His Majesty's Government do not [..] find anything in the Mandate or in subsequent Statements of Policy to support the view that the establishment of a Jewish National Home in Palestine cannot be effected unless immigration is allowed to continue indefinitely. If immigration has an adverse effect on the economic position in the country, it should clearly be restricted; and equally, if it has a seriously damaging effect on the political position in the country, that is a factor that should not be ignored. Although it is not difficult to contend that the large number of Jewish immigrants who have been admitted so far have been absorbed economically, the fear of the Arabs that this influx will continue indefinitely until the Jewish population is in a position to dominate them has produced consequences which are extremely grave for Jews and Arabs alike and for the peace and prosperity of Palestine. The lamentable disturbances of the past three years are only the latest and most sustained manifestation of this intense Arab apprehension [ ... ] it cannot be denied that fear of indefinite Jewish immigration is widespread amongst the Arab population and that this fear has made possible disturbances which have given a serious setback to economic progress, depleted the Palestine exchequer, rendered life and property insecure, and produced a bitterness between the Arab and Jewish populations which is deplorable between citizens of the same country. If in these circumstances immigration is continued up to the economic absorptive capacity of the country, regardless of all other considerations, a fatal enmity between the two peoples will be perpetuated, and the situation in Palestine may become a permanent source of friction amongst all peoples in the Near and Middle East.

Jewish immigration during the next five years will be at a rate which, if economic absorptive capacity permits, will bring the Jewish population up to approximately one third of the total population of the country. Taking into account the expected natural increase of the Arab and Jewish populations, and the number of illegal Jewish immigrants now in the country, this would allow of the admission, as from the beginning of April this year, of some 75,000 immigrants over the next four years. These immigrants would, subject to the criterion of economic absorptive capacity, be admitted as follows: For each of the next five years a quota of 10,000 Jewish immigrants will be allowed on the understanding that a shortage one year may be added to the quotas for subsequent years, within the five-year period, if economic absorptive capacity permits. In addition, as a contribution towards the solution of the Jewish refugee problem, 25,000 refugees will be admitted as soon as the High Commissioner is satisfied that adequate provision for their maintenance is ensured, special consideration being given to refugee children and dependents. The existing machinery for ascertaining economic absorptive capacity will be retained, and the High Commissioner will have the ultimate responsibility for deciding the limits of economic capacity. Before each periodic decision is taken, Jewish and Arab representatives will be consulted. After the period of five years, no further Jewish immigration will be permitted unless the Arabs of Palestine are prepared to acquiesce in it.

Section III. Land: No restriction had been imposed on the transfer of land from Arabs to Jews, but the White Paper now stated:

The Reports of several expert Commissions have indicated that, owing to the natural growth of the Arab population and the steady sale in recent years of Arab land to Jews, there is now in certain areas no room for further transfers of Arab land, whilst in some other areas such transfers of land must be restricted if Arab cultivators are to maintain their existing standard of life and a considerable landless Arab population is not soon to be created. In these circumstances, the High Commissioner will be given general powers to prohibit and regulate transfers of land.

The Palestinians welcomed them and accepted continued limited Jewish immigration. They even agreed to jointly form a government. They agreed to this with Britain within the framework of the League of Nation's Mandate.

The Palestinians secured this concession after paying with their lives during the 1936-1939 Arab Revolt. British official records put the number of Arab fatalities at 2,000. The Arabs say it was as high as almost 20,000.

The Jews have killed more than 2,000 Palestinians in just 1 week.

Surely, if you're empathetic, you'll understand why the Palestinians rejected the UN Partition Plan.

But you know what, this is 2023, we're settling for a Two-State Solution at 1967 borders and the Jews have the chutzpah to oppose it.

This is inhumane!

All Arab fears have been realized. And if you're here trying to rationalize all of this, make a mountain out of a molehill that does not hold a candle to the Nakba, and justify more war crimes, persecution, and eviction of the Palestinian people; you should take a long, hard look at the mirror because you've lost your humanity.

Everything that can be done for the Jewish people has been done for them. There's literally about to be TWO carrier strike groups sitting off their shores complemented by unlimited support from the world's leading powers. Continued deprivation of Palestine statehood and indiscriminate execution of Palestinian civilians is sickening, indefensible sadism.

-Lord

raumdeuter:


This is what I want those saying Israel is killing Palestinian to tell us. What should Israel do when Hamas hide under civilians to launch rockets at Israel?

If they say na lie. Let them show the Hamas military base where they are launching from

Israel is looking for Hamas, if you can physically separate civilians from Hamas that will be appreciated and civilian casualty will stop

Are you saying it is okay to kill 2 million civilians to get to 40,000 fighters?

Furthermore, Israel has a well-documented history of using relocations as pretext to steal lands. That's how the country was created. They forced out most of the inhabitants and stole the land. They've done the same in the West Bank where they've slowly edged out Palestinians and settled "innocent civilians" in Palestinian land.

This is all Israel's mess.

You don't sow cashew and expect to reap strawberry.

Let these people have their country. The majority of the global population have agreed to give them their own country.
But you're refusing, because you want to steal all of their lands.

There are 2 million evicted Palestinians in Jordan. You want to evict another 2 million to Egypt.
On what grounds? Who the f*ck do you think you are? And who gives a sh*t about your genocidal god?

A State of Palestine will have to operate under International law. During the Arab-Israeli Wars, the Arab Coalition did not kill Jewish civilians indiscriminately even if they could because of the firm rules of war between states. If you go ahead to carpet bomb Jewish civilians, you'd receive instant retribution in a hundred folds.

Moreover, a State of Palestine will almost certainly need US security guarantees like other small Middle Eastern states. Which means multiple opportunities to deconflict.

Not to mention internal divisions. These are Arabs. They're always at each other's throats. Palestine will have a civil war soon enough after independence and each party will seek Israeli help to outmatch their foe. That's Israel's in.

There's already precedence of this. In 2016, 40% of terrorist suspect arrests in the West Bank was conducted by Palestinian security forces. And both sides readily exchanged top secret information. The Head of the Shin Bet admitted this himself.

Many Palestinians are itching for the opportunity to Bleep up Hamas after their violent takeover, but have had to press pause because Israel is still running an open air prison and weakening Hamas plays into Israel's grand plans.

The likes of Jordan need the Israelis to maintain internal stability. The Saudis used Israeli spy tech to snoop on enemies.

There is no conceivable reason why a State of Palestine is a threat to the State of Israel. None. You have hundreds of nuclear warheads. You defeated a coalition of more than 5 countries backed by the USSR. You want me to actually believe that you're threatened by fireworks?

The Israelis and their apologists like yourself keep talking about how the Palestinians have to be as meek as the Finns and Swiss. Well, here's the thing, Finland and Switzerland are independent countries.

I have exhausted all my f*cks for Israel. At this point, I don't want to hear sh*t about atrocities while you're committing atrocities yourself. I have no idea what I'll do if some pendejo wiped out my entire family in an airstrike. Not even god will stop me from exacting revenge anyway I see fit. Even if he appears to me, I'll tell him he had his chance to stop it and didn't, so he can either support me on my quest or go back to observing and doing nothing. After 70 years of this bullsh*t, Israel has lost the moral ground to hyperventilate about ANYTHING.

The Jews resorted to terrorism and killed both British forces and civilians after the Brits adopted the White Paper of 1939. But now that others have employed same methods against them for the exact same reason, they are crying blue murder. These same hypocrites want us to justify yet another war crime because Hamas had the nerve to give them a taste of their own medicine.

Well, they should go ahead and commit the war crime. But if they think that there is ANYTHING that any Palestinian could do that will end the calls to establish a State of Palestine, then they must be high on something kosher.

Oh, and I'm not Muslim. Or Christian. Or Jewish. Or Religious for that matter. Every human on this planet has immutable fundamental rights. Palestinians are the largest stateless and refugee community on this planet. They've stated they want their own country, they've occupied those lands for more than a millennia, and by all things sacred, they shall have their country. Every other yammer is irrelevant nonsense.

Hmm, is'e suspect there is a plan for Cbn to give marketers dollars at subsidised rates to import

Back to the good old multiple rate system of bubu then

It is worse than Buhari's.

In truth, I have no idea what's up with Tinubu's administration.
Lots of perplexing decisions.

Buhari handed the monopoly of importation to NNPC because of the widespread fraudulent activities of independent importers under the previous subsidy regime. Where marketers will simply fill out forms and demand payment.

At least under the NNPC, it's all localized and if the government had political will, it could investigate then punish anyone within the organization who engaged in corruption.

For whatever reason, and while we're dealing with a FX crisis, Tinubu has decided to open it back up to the same independent importers that were fond of holding the country under siege for months on end. Many of them will just round-trip and not import a drop. Others will use scarce dollars to import then sell the products at higher retail prices in neighboring countries.

Money will be spent. Products will not be available. And we'd be back to the era of prolonged fuel scarcity. The only explanation is that he is buying support for 2027. The 43 item ban lift and this is so political allies have opportunities to loot.

afrodoc2:


This question requires foolscap sheet to answer. To summarise:

The current Palestinian region (Israel, West Bank, Gaza) is the area of the Kingdoms of Israel, Judah, Edom, and the Philistines in biblical times.

Gaza strip area is where the biblical Philistines lived but that ethnic group vanished a long time ago.

The current Palestinians are a mix of 1) non-Jewish indigenes of the area e.g Edomites, Phoenicians (Lebanese), 2) Arab immigrants into the area, and 3) Jews and Christians who converted to Islam during the over 1,200 years of Islamic rule.

Technically anybody from the region qualifies to be called Palestinian but the Muslim segment has acquired it for themselves while the Jews prefer to be called Israelis anyway. The name itself is a fairly recent invention.

Palestine is derived from Ancient Greek "Palaistínē", which means "Philistia and the surrounding region".

The Latin derivative is Palestina which the Romans adopted as the name of the Province that ultimately encompassed the homeland of the Philistines and abutting areas including Judea, Samaria, and Galilee.

Under the Christian Byzantine Empire, the province was split into Palaestina Prima (Palaestina I) and Palaestina Secunda (Palaestina II).

You know your history very well especially about the Jews and this is one of the reasons I respect your write-up.

And just like you've said, the Jews to an extent rely on the intervention of foreign forces to prevent their existence from being wiped off.

When they were in Babylon, it took the intervention of Cyrus the Great to free them from bondage.

Also during the first crusades, it was European Knights from thousand of miles away that came to their aid helped under propaganda tool by Alexios 1 Komnenos and Pope Urban II.

Only time I remember them putting up a bit of internal resistance was the Maccabees revolt under the persecution of Hellenistic King Antiochus IV Epiphanes.

The main problem is that Iran has been peft to do the work alone. The Arab leaders don't mind the killing and maltreatment of their brothers so there's no way out for Palestine. This is why I maintain that it is better to die fighting a hopeless war than to continue being a slave.

Nah. The Arab leaders have interventionist fatigue.
There have been FOUR Arab-Israeli Wars. So it's not remotely true that they don't mind.

The problem for the Arabic camp is that they put the cart before the horse.
They should have been more strategic.
They should have been involved in and accepted the UN Two State (Partition) Solution in 1947.
Waited until they gained full strength, then unilaterally call for the plan to be revisited for fairness.

The Arab countries were themselves just getting from under the boot of the Ottomans and Europeans.
Meanwhile the Zionists had been hatching their plan since the late 1800s with backing from the same Old Powers that had the boot on Arab necks.

The death of Palestinians over the past 70+ years has been needless.
Is they'd accepted the partition, Palestine would have become much larger in population.
And the Arab League would have had enough time to lobby the OIC and make it a firmly Islamic issue.
Iran, Turkey, Indonesia, Malaysia were not parties in any of the FOUR Wars.
Pakistan was barely involved and it's a nuclear power with 200m people.
Not to mention the economic power the Ummah now wield.

If the Chinese were in their shoes. They would have taken a different path.
The grandmasters of playing the long game.
Accept the unfair solution in 1947. Set a 100-year timer. By 2047, it'll be the US and co pressuring Israel to make concessions.
When you aggregate a combined armed force of 7m soldiers and sign a blank check with a giggling Russia and China for next-gen armaments.
Something will have to give.

Look at the China-Taiwan debacle. If it were the Arabs, they'd have already invaded like 5 times and lost every time.
When they should have been getting their ducks in a row.
And we'd be seeing lifeless kids massacred.
But no one has ever accused the Arabs of shrewd thinking.

Lastly, 138 countries already recognize the State of Palestine including Nigeria.
Anyone who has followed the Palestine issue closely would realize that the Palestinians to the best of their ability have been arguably reasonable.
They've been willing to accept a Two State Solution since the Oslo Accords.
The West and Israel in particular continues to play a sick game because they fear retribution.
And then they continue doing the same sh*t that'd provoke a future retribution.

Israel's entire plan seems to rest on the guiding principle that the US will remain a pre-eminent superpower for eternity.
Like that's just mind-boggling.
And when you ask what happens when the US can't fulfill its security obligations, they'll pull out the Samson Option. Look it up.
Their big brain plan is to strike population centers when they lose a conventional war and usher in a Nuclear Winter.

In my mind, I'm like you're going to directly murder hundreds of millions of people, possibly a couple billion indirectly in the aftermath.
And what do they think the survivors are going to do?
Do they think there'd be any safe space for Jews afterwards?
Anywhere in the cosmos?
Bloody lunatics!

The Anglo Saxons should have dropped the Jews in the Australian desert.
Lots of landmass to carve out a Jewish State of Israel.
It'd have been f*cking perfect!

Be that as it may, it is inevitable.
Palestine will be free.

⚡The 🇺🇸 WSJ story claiming Iranian involvement in the Hamas attack on Israel is getting knocked down in a way you rarely if ever see.

The West is cautious about dragging 🇮🇷 Iran into a full-scale war

This War is officially Iran's Coming Out party.

They've just demonstrated to the Israelis that they're not invincible. And declared to the entire region that the Persian Empire is back.

Also, they've established that if proxy forces can wreck Israel this badly, the full weight of the Persian military will brutalize Israel in ways they never thought possible. They've already made an example of the Gulf Arabs in the Houthi War.

Iran and Turkey did not have direct involvement in any of the four Arab-Israeli Wars. So Israel has been inhaling dangerous and hallucinogenic hopium about their capabilities.

The next phase of this War is the most important. What will Iran do when Israel rolls into Gaza?

Three days ago, a popular Islamic cleric with a global influence dropped a couple of cryptic messages on X, but any discerning mind clearly saw the rallying call he was giving to all Islamic Nations to come together as one for the good of the Muslim faith. It is however the comments of muslims under his messages that needed worry.

Clearly, that cleric was announcing this invasion but not everyone understood. And with the current Ukraine situation that has stretched major Western countries thin, it is not going to look pretty for Israel should Hezbollah join this fight, all with the support of Islamic nations.

There's no way Iran, Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia will sit back and watch any world nation pummel Palestine with missiles anymore and do nothing.

I sincerely don't envy Israel right now.

BoldBrainz:


Not a coincidence at all.

And this is the basis of the theory I have.

Other world powers are eager to demystify the US as it is. And since the commencement of this Russia/Ukraine SMO, Vladimir Putin has romanced more with Islamic nations than has always been the case. We all know what fine bilateral relations they've had with Iran recently.

Isn't there a modicum of possibility in the fact that this Palestinian invasion might have the hands of the Kremlin in it? Think about it.

Putin can easily encourage Iran to give solid support to their Palestinian brothers to reclaim their lands and assure them both of the support of mother Russia, yes? What does he stand to gain? He tears at the US from the side of Israel because he knows the US will certainly be eager to give Israel any support necessary to defend themselves, and that singular act weakens the US even more. I mean, who says Uncle Joe currently has the capacity to fight two proxy wars at the same time, yeah?!

And with all that's already going on in Washington, how much more do we honestly think the US can take before the cracks begin to show? Ditto: China, Russia, UAE, North Korea, are all just knocking on the door, waiting for the US to just open it a crack..😂

It is not a conspiracy theory.

Global spy craft is on steroids right now, so it stands to reason that everyone, and I mean everyone, is stretched thin.

Further to this, Putin in particular issued multiple directives to the Israelis. They largely treated them as suggestions.

The Kremlin definitely had foreknowledge of this operation. Like they knew about the Azerbaijani operation in NK. But the Israelis like the Armenians let the Americans fill their head with grandiose tales. Now both of them have bloody noses.

When folks talk about the security guarantees of superpowers, this is what they mean. Putin or Xi could have decided to throw Israeli a bone and give them some type of warning. The Russians have in the past. But we're living in interesting times.

Everyone who's relying on the West's security blanket should be apprehensive as f*ck right now.

As always, you are one amongst few who understands the shift in power globally. Israel is one dog marked to be put down. Surely, it will be achieved.

Israel will find a way to escape the hangman's noose.

Why do you think America is dragging them to the negotiation table and begging for normalization?

Furthermore, Israel's biggest strength is that they have utility. Every current and future superpower needs Israel in the Middle East to keep the regional powers honest.

For instance, India can't have a severely compromised Israel. Who will keep tabs on Pakistan? Even China and Russia need their newfound partners on a leash because whenever those folks get uppity, Asians die.

Israel performs an important task that they don't get enough credit for. But the issue has always been that they have a hard time understanding limits. In pidgin, "them too dey overdo". Some might say it is necessary. Their foes are not exactly paragons of self-restraint. Still, the impunity can get really tough to excuse. So there's a balancing act to be done.

This invasion was not planned in three or six months. Palestine took advantage of the global distraction created by the Russian/Ukraine situation to plan a very detailed invasion of Israel.

I mean, to the very point where they're launching cyber attacks on the Iron dome while infiltrating from every physical means possible?

No na. Nothing anybody wan tell me.
And how can Israel have been so careless not to have even known enough to mount an early resistance? A whole Israel? Global masters of espionage? Something is seriously amiss.

Way too many chess pieces.

Everyone is a suspect, including Netanyahu.

The two-state solution has to be implemented pronto. The balance of power in the Middle East has changed.

This is not the late 20th century when the only semi-powerful Islamic state was Egypt. Today, Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Egypt are heavyweights. You cannot get away with treating the Palestinians like the Spartans did the Helots with impunity. You go collect!

Of course, the Israelis will retaliate. And it will be harsh.

But we are seeing dead Israeli civilians executed in broad daylight in Israel. I have to repeat that. Israeli civilians were shot while waiting for a bus inside Israel. There was a time no one would attempt that fearing the repercussions. But right now, they don't care. Because they know they'd be able to repeat it after Israel retaliates.

Or does anyone really believe Hamas operatives hacked the Iron Dome? That's all Iran.

I know everyone is used to Israel pummeling the Ummah, but if I were Jewish, I'll be very concerned about the trajectory of world events. Israel has to start offering concessions. If Iran, Turkey, and Pakistan jointly decide to greenlight a limited incursion using their myriad of arrowheads including Hamas fighters with a target body count of 100 citizens. Nothing on this planet can stop them. NOTHING.

Qatar could bankroll a million such operations without flinching. If they want bodies, there are hundreds of thousands of extremists who would pay for the privilege of being part of such a mission. As for capabilities, they have that in spades.

That's the current state of the planet in 2023. Iran is twisting America's arm. Turkey has made the Greeks and Caucasus their b*tch. Pakistan is holding a foe many times larger to a standstill. Israel has to read the tea leaves. Permit Palestine to become a state and establish relations similar to what they have with Jordan, Morocco, and Azerbaijan.

This idea that their ultra-nationalists have of Palestinians having zero agency ad nauseum in a world where Islamic powers are experiencing ascendancy is lunacy.

If you are a driver and I check your DL and find out the one you carried is not only forged, it doesn't concern if you were issued an original.
What you have presented to me was forged.

When someone forges something, I'm very sure we know what it means.

Also FRSC doesn't have a rule that requires you to move around with your original document.
Forgery of an original document will land you in soup.
You think I'm joking, try forging your DL and be caught first😁

They're all acting like this sh*t is rocket science.
It isn't.
They know quite well what the issue is.

Submit a forged document. But it doesn't matter because you were issued an original.
Well, why did you not submit the original?
Even if he lost the replacement, he could have gotten yet another.

But no, he had to employ ingenuity to make a fake.
For something that is political. So reckless!

4. A student can get a replacement certificate from a third party. It is accepted practice in the united state

raumdeuter:

Here are other things Westberg deposed to: “I’m not aware of any instance where CSU had been requested to certify a document.Mr. Wole Afolabi who was acting for President Tinubu insisted that the documents must be certified. Mr. Wole Afolabi is President Tinubu’s lawyer. Mr. Afolabi and Mr. Orr communicated by email.

“I don’t recall seeing the emails. I don’t know if Jason Carter approved of the certification. Apart from Jason Carter I do not know anyone else who was involved in the process.

“I went into Mr. Tinubu’s student’s file and produced the documents to Mr. Orr. I didn’t know that the documents would be certified. I don’t get involved in legal matters.

“Mr. Tinubu requested that the documents be released to Mr. Afolabi for ‘legal proceedings’ The signature on the consent form is similar to the signature we have on record for Mr. Tinubu.

“All of the certified documents came from CSU’s files. Nothing was handed over to us by Mr. Afolabi except for the FERPA form. CSU had never certified documents for anyone before. It must have been made because there was more of a Nigerian thing.

“The documents were released in pursuance of a FERPA request. I believe Mr. Afolabi requested that the documents be certified. I’m not aware if the stamp affixed by Mr. Orr to the documents was an official document. It is not part of CSU practice.

“I see the entry on APC’s website wherein President Bola Tinubu was said to have been born in Lagos on March 29, 1952. I don’t have a copy of the Diploma that was submitted to INEC so I can’t comment on it.

The entries in bold are the smoking gun.

Asiwaju requested for a replacement diploma which CSU graciously issued.
Yet he went to submit a diploma he forged with insignia that was "not part of CSU practice".
No one cares about the motive. The bottom line is that it can be credibly argued that he tendered a fake to INEC.

As I said earlier, CSU was just meandering and trying to weasel out of admitting the diploma submitted to INEC was possibly a fake.
If this controversy was about anyone else, you guys will at least acknowledge that something is off.

The rest of the shalaye is to throw people off the scent.
All this talk about his brilliance and attendance has got nothing to do with the authenticity of the diploma he submitted.

larride:


You are the one that's actually doing mental gymnastics.

CSU has confirmed severally that they issued a replacement to Tinubu in 1997.

Please tell us why he will need to forge a document he already got in 1997 for a Governorship election that happened in 1998?

Try and remove whatever rose tinted glasses you have on.

You should forward that question to Tinubu and his attorneys.

As that is the point Atiku's lawyers are making.
The certified copy he submitted to INEC is being contested. CSU is saying whatever errors are found in that copy were likely clerical errors. Keyword is likely.
Still, they refuse to authenticate it.

And you continue this tired narrative about motive. That they issued him a diploma so he would not forge.
But the man lost the original.
And you can't fathom that he lost the replacement or he did not have access to it and he had to quickly scrounge up a fake that "matches the format" of similar certified copies issued at the time but had "clerical errors".

Your hypothetical is factual. But the protestations by Atiku's attorneys are not credible.

-Lord

larride:


Tinubu requested a replacement in 1997.

You are telling us that Tinubu submitted a forged certificate to INEC in 2022 because he did not have a replacement he already got in 1997 in 2022?

I'm not even sure you are reading whatever you are posting bro.

The Presidency is not the first political position Tinubu contested for.
He became a Senator in 1992. Not sure what documents he submitted then.
But when he returned in 1998, he submitted this certified copy diploma with "clerical errors" that he claimed to receive from CSU for Governorship.
That's the same diploma he submitted for the 2023 Presidential elections for consistency.

You guys are just beating around the bush and using hollow retorts to avoid admitting that the Mister may have used an Oluwole certificate. And that CSU is performing mind-bending legal gymnastics to avoid authenticating the certificate he submitted.

-Lord

nihilistjnr:


The question is why?

Why would Tinubu fake his own certificate?

Can you think of a reasonable motive?

Because he lost the original and did not have a replacement at the time he submitted the document.
Further to that, I don't care about motive. Not one bit.
I only care about the facts. Did Tinubu submit an original or fake?

And apparently, going by the position you guys have espoused, it is impossible to tell if Tinubu submitted an original or a fake.
So anyone can submit a forged document provided that they requested for a replacement copy after the fact.

-Lord

larride:


The certificate Tinubu submitted to INEC were replacement that was issued in 1997. How do you expect it to be the same with the one CSU was using in 1979 when they themselves has said they usually change font, seal and all that on their diploma. In the document they submitted to Atiku Lawyer, there are same samples diploma of the one Tinubu submitted to INEC.

People lose their document whether by any means, some go back to the school to get a replacement certificate (which Tinubu did) some just go and get an affidavit from the court that their so so documents are lost.

The school has confirmed that Tinubu attended and graduated from their school in 1979. The school has confirmed that they issued a replacement diploma to Tinubu in 1997. What else they want the school to do is what I dont know.

It is entirely plausible that Tinubu submitted a forged document in the interim before getting the replacement.
People have made a lot of grave, boneheaded errors before.
CSU can put a stop to all the speculations by authenticating the certificate Tinubu submitted.

Go under oath and say the certificate Tinubu submitted is the same certificate we issued him. EOD.

-Lord

raumdeuter:


Why should or how would CSU validate the document submitted to INEC? What can CSU do beyond what they did already which is to show what their own Documents look like

They can reproduce the certified copies of diplomas of other students that they issued at the time with names redacted, but they can't validate that the document submitted to INEC was issued by them.
Is that meant to be a joke or what?

They affirmed that Tinubu requested a replacement diploma around 1997 and the item Tinubu submitted looks like the format they use around 1997.

That is the part that grates me.
There's something off about saying the best you can do is quip that the diploma he submitted "looks like" the format used.
As that's the entire point of a forgery. For the forged document to "look like" whatever it is meant to stand in for.

CSU further told that certificates are usually ceremonial and the real meat of the issue is if students graduated which they have repeated multiple times that Bola Tinubu Male graduated in the said program around 1979

This is an irrelevant tidbit.
The dispute is whether the document he submitted to INEC was issued by CSU.
Not whether he graduated or not.
