We are just embarrassing ourselves in the international community. These CSU people must be tired of IPOB disguising as Nigerians. Tommorow a Nigerian will apply to the University and they will say to themselves, we don’t want Nigerians These people’s wahala is too much…..admission denied!

Na only Nigerians go university for CSU that their registrar will be spending all his or her time replying wailers asking stupid questions?

I tire o! Most reputable universities don't reply to 3rd party inquiries about student graduation status. They give you a certificate and if you loose it, send a letter to registrar for replacement. The university will respond to student only (that is Tinubu). All these random groups claiming the university sent them a letter' is all lies. Something is fishy

NSNA:
Some groups wrote to Chicago State University to confirm Tinubu's status as an alumni, and here is the university's response dated June 27, 2022.

#Tinubu2023

CHICAGO STATE UNIVERSITY

June 27, 2022

To whom it May Concern:

Please be advised that Bola A Tinubu attended Chicago State University from August 1977 - June 1979. He was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration with Honors on June 22, 1979. His major was accounting.

Respectfully,

Caleb Westberg
Registrar Office of Records and Registration 9501 South King Drive - ADM 128 Chicago, IL 60628 773-995-2517 (phone) 773-995-3618 (fax) CSU-Registrarcsu.edu

So he spent only 2 yrs for a bachelor degree. Why are things not adding up? Most degree courses in North America is 4 yrs. Even if you do summer courses, you’ll still spend 3 yrs. This one tire me o

Interestingly, he worked in Mobil Nigeria for just 9 yrs (1983 - 1992) Yet, the keep telling us he amassed all those wealth while working in Mobil. Who works in an organization for only 9yrs and becomes a multimillionaire? Too many mysteries regarding this man.

Even if certificate is lost, just tell us I went to XY schools between this year and this year. Simple. No doubt he has formal secondary education But why isn’t he telling? What is he hiding

OneCandleAway:
Lot of schools abroad don't really verify. You can submit a perfectly forged education document and they will admit you once you can pay school fee. Some rely on their in country agent to help verify, and that can be easily manipulated. Everyone is looking for money.

Later on they can now take back their certificate if they realise its a fake result the student used and its about to cause a scandal.

Very valid point. But then how did he successfully graduate from university without formal secondary education? Too much mystery surrounding this man’s early years. Don’t we have investigative journalists in this Naija to unravel things about Tinubu

thesicilian:
Winning by any means possible is how criminals emerge and thrive.

If you're learning all these lessons from a politician who stole your money to buy your votes so he can steal more of your money, then you're either the most clueless person in Africa or just as corrupt as he is.

You're absolutely right. Nigerians have been brainwashed and don't know what "winning" means. People need to read more and understand how great nations thrive and win. In societies that understand leadership, someone like Tinubu will probably be in the gallows and not seen as a role model to emulate.

BlackBaron:
This is the video. Listen for yourself.

No patriotic Nigerian will supports this druggy. He's so desperate to be President and disrespects a sitting Governor. He exhibits pride, lack of decorum, and dictatorial tendency. Governor Abiodun has the right to support anyone he likes. That insult from Tinubu is totally uncalled for. Pointing at Gov Abiodun and saying "this one", is the height of disrespect

It's time Lagosians and other Yorubas unshackle themselves from the grip of this potential dictator.

Sonyboom:
Tinubu without mincing word said he brought Enron and Econet to this country while Peter Obi brought Pandora and Azu genocide.

Very painful to watch. He sounds incoherent and only telling tales of past glory instead of espousing a clear vision of the future.

Besides why remind Nigerians of his association with the fabulously corrupt Enron? Enron committed one of the most accounting deceptions in US History. Yet Tinubu is proud to mention them as one of his achievements.

It’s so easy to blame government for everything but not in this case

So did engineers and maintenance crew check level of fuel before train left Lagos? Did they do thorough check up to ensure no fault on engine? Pathetic! After government spent billions on trains, workers can’t do simple maintenance

People just do things anyhow and expect to get paid and worse blame Buhari

Twitter revenue world wide was $3.7b. Where did you get this outrageous figures?

The only loss is ad revenue for Twitter from Nigeria market; which is less than $1m. Also business shifted ad spending to Facebook, Instagram & Tik Tok and other media platforms

Stop all these noise lies

Nigerians have to be careful and smart with the narrative cooked up for immigration. This a true story about a man that sought refugee status:

The man applied for refugee as a gay man running from prosecution from Nigerian government. This was during Jonathan’s regime. The Canadians accepted his refugee claim and he became a permanent resident.

Four years later, he applied to sponsor his wife and children into Canada to join him. Of course Canadian immigration picked this huge hole of crap in his application. How can you a gay man be married in a heterosexual relationship with 2 children? A man claiming gay now wants to sponsor his wife & children. You can’t make this stuff up�

PeachtreeReside:
Mr. Igwe's story does not and cannot hold one drop of water....



How did Danladi trace him to Lagos State of all places?


He recognised his voice from the phone?


They only burnt his farm but not kill him and fled away with bikes?


They burnt his generator and did not hurt him?


Most Nigerians lack logical reasoning else we would not be where we are as a family, individual and nation....


The Yoruba guy who supposedly fled the North could not go to any of the Western States but could flee to Canada...


They will make it more difficult to relocate this year...

That Danladi story was funny and full of crap. How can a Fulani herdsman trace you from Delta to Lagos and destroy your generator?

They tell lies believing everyone is a fool like them too.

A case of Cut your nose to spite your face. Few Canadians come to Nigeria. It’s only Nigerians living there that will be hurt by these knucklehead tit for tat.

Also, Air Canada doesn’t fly to Nigeria anyway. So this announcement is just random noise. Naija government needs to take its head out of its ass before announcing policies.

FisifunKododada:
The case of Late Mr. Osibona should be a lesson to all Nigerians. Many Nigerians are blinded by the two foolish foreign religions, Christianity and Islam. You buy sub-standard building materials at a bargain and you think that because you pay tithe/offering on the profit means that Jesus or Mohammed will somehow support the building. Your faith in your foolish ancient Palestinian savior made 60 innocent Nigerians to die a violent and untimely death. Nigerians have the highest number of churches and mosques in the entire world. We are building churches and mosques, while the rest of the advanced world are building research labs, factories and hi-tech centers. Countries that don't even believe in Jesus or Mohammed are doing better than Nigeria. China, an atheist country, is currently services a debts. We are currently been colonized by China either we like it or not. Yet you tell me that Jesus or Mohammed is the way to blessings. Keep your Jesus and Mohammed in your anus. Teach people how to think logically. Teach Nigerians how to engage in critical thinking. Teach people how to eschew corruption. Teach people how to care for their neighbors. Memorizing bible or koran verses is a curse not a blessing. If the Christian or Muslim god is truly alive, Nigeria will be the most developed country on the face of the earth. Stop praying to useless foreign gods that have NOTHING to offer Africans.

In a nutshell, you've stated all that's required to change this country. Convincing people to let go of their Pastors/Imams and embrace logical/critical thinking is a misson impossible.

PlanktonX:
Exactly.

Why do people invest huge sum of money without due diligence. The reason scammers do away with people's money is because even the people too are greedy and ignorant.

What you seek first before releasing your money:

Don't trust registration certificates, they mean a little here.
What is the company doing with investors' fund.
Get hold of their pass performances.
What are the treats to their business.
Is the business insured against such treat.
Who determines investment decisions?
What percentage of their capital are they spending on Ads and other overheads? Because if these costs are high, little capital would be available for the actual business, and thus the business might be a ponzi scheme.

Again, watch how much they pay to referrals, just as this guy and wife pay huge sum to the employing. This shows that the employees are the referrals and baits that lure investors to the gallow.

Its just so painful, that in Nigeria present conditions people are losing huge money to scammers.

Even with all these due diligence, they’ll still find a way to scam you. Best thing is to invest your money in Mama Sikira’s Amala & egufe buka. At least you can sit in the buka all afternoon and watch how your investment is doing. Shikena

When Yoruba says Kagba fun Olurun (accept my fate) it means the struggle is over. Igboho will no longer fight for Yoruba Nassion as I sense bitterness in the statement. Why not? His Lawyers scammed him, his social media PR scammed him, laughing all the way to the bank. Even followers have deserted him. Now he's left holding the short end of the stick, eating ewa agonyin every day in a Beninoise gallows.

As wise ones will say, that is life

So these guys have no plan just shouting Yoruba nation all over social media. I never believed in this Are & Igboho; birds of same feather.

No need to beg now it’s rather too late. This secessionist agitation has just been about scamming Yorubas in diaspora and gullibe Youths.

Now Buhari is talking to them in the language they understand. They have no principles, ideas no plan to advance the cause of Yorubas. Just bunch of agberos disturbing our peace

Truly embarrassed that some gullible Yorubas placed their fate in the hands of this man & his fetish items. Really? This is all Igboho has to fight. Some second hand ak47s & juju vests? Jeez he didn’t even put up a fight

We warned them about Igboho’s secessionist agitation. You have to go through the political process to seek for secession. It’s treason to agitate for secession. You may not like the 1999 constitution but it’s the law of the land and you can’t just flaunt it. Expecting Igboho to deliver Yoruba nation shows stupidity and ignorance by supposedly sophisticated Yorubas.

He was warned several times to detest from reckless actions but the Nigerian diasporans & social media louts egged him on making him feel invincible. Now he’s on the run and when he surrenders will be charged with agitating an insurrection against the state.

adriano50:
The British should urgently come to the aid of kanu is a prisoner of conscience,his fighting for the freedom of his people, against the backdrop of the northern egonomy we demand the unconditional release of kanu without delay kanu is not a Nigerian but of Britain and Biafra extraction

Has he renounced his Nigerian citizenship? No. then he will be tried as a Nigerian inciting violence, terror & insurrection against the state. Britiain will just node their head and offer usual platitudes like " we ask the Nigerian government to ensure fairness & justice blah blah blah. Maybe they'll send a low level consul officer to look him up. Kanu is on his own

Best decision by the Lagos state police. Enough of destroying & causing mayhem in Lagos. Continue your rally on social media and leave Lagosians out this nonesense

And Igboho himself said he heard “ it’s dss, it’s Soldier come out now Igboho” at least they should get their stories straight before coming out to give statements

Now the story is changing. Professor Akintoye said the military men spoke French but now it’s a woman speaking Yoruba that led the attack.
Slowly, slowly we will start to hear the truth

ThierryJay:
Are all pyramid schemes ponzi schemes? Schemes backed by products such as Forever living, Trevo, GNLD etc are all pyramid schemes. Do they also qualify as Ponzi cos they are still around after all these years.

Ponzi scheme or pyramid are brothers. Their cousin is MLM (multi level marketing). If you have to attend a seminar to get the gist of the investment or introduced to the product; just run away. And if it takes more than 3 mins to understand the business model; it’s definitely a pyramid

Nigeria is a fertile ground for Ponzis/pyramids. I bet couple are running as we speak. People won’t listen because too many Nigerians believe they are smart. They don’t ask questions or think asking questions means you’re a dullard.

Just the jobless Naijas doing dead end jobs ( cleaners, cab, janitors) are the ones out there protesting. They’ve been living in London, Canada, USA for years and can’t make headway. The only purpose now is to hide their failures and blame it on Buhari. Don’t let them scatter Nigeria. Tell them to stay put and get there life together. They’re only scared of spending there old age in the cold because they never figures out path to success in London.

If you look at the video, you’ll see it’s the frustrated and old niggas that are out there. You won’t find business minded or professionals living abroad supporting this crap.

I see a lot of them over here and understand their motives. Don’t let them deceive to burn down Nigeria

Enough said

[quote author= post=102562110]And no unfortunate child of hate, frustrations and perdition remember to call us to this thread as they call us on their evil, blood sucking threads even if we are not here for a week.
May devil their father punish all the enemies of this nation, the ones that are in pains that the thieving bastards they want to continue to be in power lost the election twice.

This is the CHANGE we voted for.

This is colossal mehn!
God bless our darling Daddy President Muhammadu Buhari and his amiable Vice president Prof Yemi Osinbajo for all they are doing to move this once looted, raped and battered nation work again.

God bless all sane, honest and hardworking Nigerians.
God bless Nigeria. [/quote]Wailers still busy with Twitter. Expect them to bring their negativity here once twitter matter tire them

People need to pump the brake on this Twitter. How did they calculate that Nigeria loses 2bn every day? Nigerians advertise on Twitter and all that ad revenue goes to Twitter, Not Nigerians. They don't pay tax in Nigeria and employ few Nigerians. In fact, worldwide they made $3b which is tax-sheltered in Bermuda. Right now, the EU is fighting Twitter & other social media to pay tax on income earned in their countries.

People can switch to Facebook and Instagram to advertise their products. These are even more effective in driving sales. Twitter is primarily used to propagate political or social messages. The very reason it was banned in China. And Chinese economy is thriving without it

So I don't see the reason for all the noise about the impact on our economy. I think this is an opportunity to develop a local digital marketing platform and steal some of the 40 million Twitter users in Nigeria. Our local tech companies can earn the ad revenue instead. A prolonged ban on Twitter may be a silver lining for our own local platforms to shine.

murmee:
So it is okay to make the girl go through another trauma, 7 years after, just to prove a point? My dear, it is a well scripted set up!

A Judge may see this as entrapment and even worse consider their action endangering the life of a minor. Never put a child through trauma just to collect evidence. Why wasn't a criminal complaint filed 7 years ago or when the child told them?

This video means nothing. The guy didn’t confess to anything. He just said the devil caused it and he that he has spiritual problems. Not once did he say “I molested the girl”. Stupid people posting stuff like this online will make this guy walk free. Besides 7 yrs ago no accusation, prosecution or conviction. Judges only deal with facts and evidence. Emotions on social media is just random noise.

A good defence lawyer will shred this video to pieces in court. He’ll tell the judge his client is afraid of being beaten hence agreeing to all the accusation by the amateur interrogators.

Stay off social media and let police & court handle criminal cases

AdeolaOmoOba:
I don't trust Princess-Crocodile-Tears who seems to be highly economical with the truth. First it was 7 years of molestation, then it became twice. Maybe it will eventually become non-existent, who knows? I am not siding with Baba Ijesha either, neither am I siding with the child until thorough investigation is carried out. Rapists deserve death sentence, not to talk of child molesters. In conclusion, there is something fishy about this case which is not yet clarified. It could be a brewing relationship between Princess and Baba Ijesha, it could be a setup, it could be a true evil act, but hear this word of wisdom:

Never in your life judge a case based on the emotional expressions of a woman, most especially tears.


Why would a parent put a child at the risk of molestation just to prove a point, without prior notification of security agencies? Is she a detective? Princess should also be arrested. What if Baba Ijesha did not fall for the trap? What would have happened? She will reset another trap or what? Using an innocent and traumatized child as bait? Princess, you also deserve jail.

Exactly what I thought. Using a traumatized child to entrap a potential molester is criminal. Why not report the matter to the cops and let them investigate. So the girl had to be abused again to gather evidence? Very sickening

Is Igboho still hunting Fulani herdsmen in the forest? Haven’t seen him for a while. Tell him to fortify his jazz and not fall down like ikonson�

Just thinking how can jazz/juju bring down an Apache helicopter?

Eriokanmi:
I beg to differ. Those agitating for secession are people like you and I who live here, people whom they've told were the future of Nigeria but are now growing grey hair under their parents' care...no future for them rather, their Children are holding away. Where is electricity , Good road, security...yes...security, jobs, etc which they promised us since independence? Leave those in the diaspora out of this. They don't live here, neither do they feel the pain. They're only empatsing. Leave same greedy politicians who would never welcome secession out this , those who are feeding fat in this union and would never want such to happen. Get your facts right , ekiti isn't one of the poorest.

My facts are right: Ekiti is the 35th state in terms of IGR. Only Jigawa ranks lower

Are Fulanis responsible for our problems? Have you ever asked your local government chairman or governors how they are spending FAAC allocations? Secession will not solve the fundamental problem of Nigeria: corruption & lack of accountability. In fact most African nations have been ravaged by this double headed monster.

Progressive nations with multiple ethnic groups have figured out ways to coexist and prosper. Find out how India with over 2,000 ethnic groups is moving up. Enough said

Eriokanmi:


You know what? They know this would definitely happen. They can't stop it. Its obvious but they'd keep defending their means of livelihood. They can run away anytime through their escape route, but only waiting for the d-day. This professors losing jobs isn't today's saying. Before abacha created ekiti state out of the old ondo state, same was tabled before his government that should ekiti be carved out of ondo, the majority of the civil servants in the old ondo state who made up of 55% of the workforce of ekiti people , would end up in farms, including their lecturers and Permanent secretaries. Amazingly, this never happened. Same scenario played out in osun when they were carved out of old oyo state , governor bisi askande was faced with job issues but later, things became normal.

Same is happening after Brexit as we speak and the UK are now busy looking for professionals. Last year alone, they recruited thousands of health workers from Nigeria alone. My cousin who was an IT personnel thought of relocating to Canada before brexit but now, his pay was almost tripled with promotion, just to discourage him from leaving the UK by his employer. We will all be alright, should we break up. Any country carved out of Nigeria who is deficient in various sectors can hire from yorubaland. Then they'd be paid in dollars.

Leave all those greedy leaders alone. Lai mohamed had no single company. Their companies are their various political offices they hold, where they're stealing tax payers money to maintain their health. What job would someone like lai muhamed get at his age, should we break up? That's their fear. We don't care how they feel. Secession is inevitable and its only then we can be alright and self-reliant. This union is fake....I'm yoruba before people would start thinking the comment was put up by an ipob. The ongoing revelation about pantami is as a result of the stupidity and selfishness of our southern leaders. They're the ones who pulled us into this mess all in the name of money.

How can someone like pantami be nominated to occipy such a sensitive office/ministry and the senate would approve his nomination, just like that without digging into his past or carrying out due diligence about him? If you say its not right, they'd say he's being witch-haunted even though pantami himself knew those revelations were true about him and has said they were his past and things had changed now...I've never seen a terrorist change his ideology. They can only hide it. The phone numbers, BVN and NIN of key personalities in Nigeria are in his palms and he can do anything, should they gbemu, anytime. They can track them down on the highway, anywhere and take their lives. I never believed my beloved country could turn this way. These people mean business but we're just underestimating it

You paint a rosy picture of aftermath of seccssion. Fact is nobody knows; all just speculating. The agitation is driven by Nigerain disaporans, irredentist elements and political commentators. All these people have no skin in the game (no investment/minmal ties to Nigeria) and will quickly dissapear when things get tough. The man on the street just wants a job, good health sysytem, security and live in decent homes. In short, an economy that works. Nostalgia about Yoruba prowess means nothing in the modern world. Just Past glory. Ethnic diversity is one of the main reasons Lagos remains the only economical viable Yoruba nation. Other factors like benefits of former capital status & sound management can be included.

Osun & Ekiti you mentioned, are 2 of the poorest states in Nigeria. So what have they gained as independent states? Kogi too

Britain left EU because they were always skeptical about the union. In fact, they were dragged kicking and screaming into the EU.

Secession is not the answer. You will only transfer oppression from nation level to local fiefdoms. It's the same corrupt players and elites pushing this agitation to have their own dominion. They have no vision or plan for the masses.
