Hope he will not be awarding the contracts to his companies like he did in Ebonyi and they ended up doing a terrible job?

Dave Umahi is a packaged fraud like Buhari.

Somebody Nigerians will get to know him for who he is.

Imagine

dragunov:
Ethnic jingoism is really strong in Nigeria o. I have not heard pim from Miyetti Devil Association ever since Buhari's ignoble exit. They suddenly lost their voices. Now Wicked Wike will show them more pepper.

You can imagine.

This is a group that used to issue statements almost on weekly basis, forming like they were on top of the world. All of a sudden they’ve gone cold.

assholemods:
Good you are correct 💯 with your response. So you won't blame Tinubu for that but the school.

Why won’t I blame Tinubu?

Is he not the one in court trying to stop the school from releasing the documents?

ThiefnubuBandit:
Helinues the chief stipend collector was in the fore front of that.

That one?

If Tinubu defecates and says it’s Amala, he will swallow it with Ewedu and use Remi’s early morning yellow urine to wash it down.😏

AuschwitzPrefec:
It's a threat to the judiciary

TemplarLandry:
It amounts to bullying.

Look at them!

“All Eyes On the Judiciary” is a harmless expression that is only harmful to those who have something to hide.

Imagine walking into a shop that has “CCTV in operation” written on the wall, why would you get angry if you are not thief?

Or is “CCTV in Operation” a threat to customers?

Does it mean that you bullying customers?

Or does it mean that you are calling customers thieves?

No. It simply means that you have your eyes on the customers, and only criminal customers would feel offended that you have eyes on him.

assholemods:
Keep ranting and fooling yourself, even if it is true that Tinubu did not graduate from the university who will remove him from that seat going by the country we live? Again all of you are jubilating as if university degree is a pre requirement to become president in Nigeria. Una mumu never do?

The least requirement for the seat of the presidency is WAEC.

Does Tinubu have a WAEC certificate?

If yes, why did he not submit it to INEC??

assholemods:
Na you keep the evidence? The school must have been stupid to confirm to Reno that Tinubu graduated from there.
I am surprised that you Obi supporters are not doing this but relying on Atiku to do it with all the noise you people are making.

It’s a simple thing.

Let them release the record they relied upon to give Reno that confirmation to the public or to Atiku at least.

What are they hiding?

When we were campaigning against these cows under Buhari, Tinubu supporters called us wailers and IPOB and said cows were free to roam around wherever they liked.

I wonder what they will say now that their personal lord and savoiur has said there will no more be cow grazing in Abuja?

Will open grazing now be bad like we have been campaigning since Buhari period?

You don’t have to like Wike to agree with him on this.

I guess it’s time to stop elevating cows above humans in Nigeria as was obtainable in the last administration.

Nyesom Wike, newly sworn in Federal Capital Territory minister, says open cattle grazing in the capital city will no longer be allowed and Fulani herders will have to take their cows for grazing outside the city centre.

“We will consult with the herdsmen and talk to them to see how we will stop, we cannot allow cows inside the city. It can be outside the city. That is the way it should be done,” Mr Wike said.

“Because the grasses are outside the city. The grasses are not here. These are grasses we planted to beautify the city. The ones in the area councils are the ones that can eat.”

Mr Wike said this during his first media briefing after being sworn in as FCT minister on Monday.

The minister also condemned open grazing in the city centre, saying it does not portray Nigeria well in the face of foreigners who come to Abuja.

In the past eight years, under former President Muhammadu Buhari, Fulani herdsmen engaged their cattle in open grazing within the city centre.

Though it was condemned, Mr Buhari’s regime did nothing about it as herders grazed their cows across the city centre from Jabi district to Asokoro, Maitama to Central Business District, where the State House, National Assembly and Supreme Court are located.

Toh

It’s not Toh.

Tell Tinubu to invade Niger if them born am well.

They have called those not supporting war in Niger Republic unpatriotic .

Some have called them IPOB.

I suppose Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai has joined IPOB.

Nobody, except Tinubu Welcome Song Singers, is supporting any iota of use of force in Niger.

TUESDAY THOUGHT: As ECOWAS beats the drums of war, I recall the 1970s rock classic by Dire Straits - ‘Brothers in Arms’, because a war within our subregion is a war between brothers. Indeed, the people of Niger Republic are one and the same with those living in Northern Nigeria. Let us bend therefore over backwards to avoid this civil war between brothers.

And so for this bright Tuesday, please enjoy this classic and reflect on the equally timeless lyrics. Music is something to enjoy, but being so overwhelmed with public affairs in the last 10 years, I have lost valuable pleasurable moments. Time to catch up on lost time. Enjoy!! Life is too short not too!! - @ elrufai

Brothers in Arms - by Dire Straits

These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Someday you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn to be
Brothers in arms

Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've witnessed your suffering
As the battle raged high
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones
Now the sun's gone to hell and
The moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line in your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

How many witnesses would still be alive in this case?

May we not deliberately in life indulge in futility exercise, Amen

Na so!

You think it’s Nigeria where you hire Olanikpekus to bribe judges and get judgment through technicalities?

Relax! Evidence dey.

I no you didn't attend a university... But you mean anybody enemy and friends can goto your secondary school and start demanding for your academic files without your permission

Yes!

Let the enemies have the records if you have nothing to hide.

Isn’t that how to shut them up forever?

Fork privacy!

Tinubu is a public property and everything about him should be public.

Shebi una talk say he’s a First Class graduate of Accountancy and has been taunting Peter Obi’s genuine Second Class Certificate and even whimsically reducing it to Third Class? It’s time to see that Tinubu’s First Class certificate.

Tinubu’s disgrace will be at the market square.

In the words of Pastor Adeboye, “some elevation is a set up for public disgrace.”

Such shall be Tinubu’s story. Mahmoud Yakubu elevated Tinubu to be humiliated publicly.

I can feel it in my bones that Tinubu will not escape public humiliation.

Court said Atiku has right to ask for the credentials and have satisfied all legal requirements.

US Court Assumes Jurisdiction Over Atiku’s Request For Tinubu’s Records At Chicago University, Says PDP Chieftain Meets All Requirements

The United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division has said it has the power to sit over the case instituted by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar.

Atiku is asking the court to compel Chicago State University (CSU) to produce the academic records of President Bola Tinubu, Political Economist reports.

According to court documents, the court established that it has jurisdiction over the matter under US law, which authorises any "interested person" to request that a US District Court order the discovery of documents and testimony for use in a foreign proceeding from persons who "reside or are found" within its District."

The court, therefore, held that Atiku satisfied all statutory requirements as he is an “interested person”; and the respondent, CSU, is a public university established and existing under the laws of Illinois, with its principal campus and offices in Chicago.

It said it would not hesitate to grant the prayers of Atiku.

Nigeria’s President, Tinubu, ran for President on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on February 25.

In November 2022, several months before the Presidential elections, an Abuja-based lawyer Mr. Mike Enahoro-Ebah sued Tinubu over alleged certificate forgery, age falsification and lying on oath.

Enahoro-Ebah, in three separate direct criminal complaints filed at the Chief Magistrate Court in Wuse Zone 6, Abuja, alleged that Tinubu supplied false information as well as attached forged documents to his form EC-9 submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on June 17, 2022, to aid his qualification for the 2023 presidential election.

He initiated proceedings against Mr. Tinubu by filing a "Direct Criminal Complaint" in the Chief Magistrate Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Mr. Enahoro-Ebah alleged in his complaint that Mr. Tinubu submitted an "Affidavit of Personal Particulars" to INEC in June 2022 as part of a required filing to run for President, which included an alleged forged CSU diploma dated June 22, 1979, and other information inconsistent with the CSU documents.

"Mr. Enahoro-Ebah stated that after Mr. Tinubu made his INEC filing, Mr. Enahoro-Ebah obtained a subpoena from the Circuit Court of Cook County, dated August 11, 2022, and served it on CSU," according to papers filed by Atiku in the US court on August 2, 2023, to substantiate the accusations.

In response to the subpoena, CSU's Registrar, Mr. Caleb Westberg, wrote to Mr. Enahoro-Ebah's Chicago lawyer, Mr. Matthew J. Kowals, on September 22, 2022, informing Mr. Kowals that "[t]he enclosed documentation is all the records we have for Bola E. Tinubu."

“According to the complaint, the documents that accompanied Mr. Westberg’s letter included a CSU diploma issued to Mr. Tinubu on June 27, 1979. The June 27 diploma allegedly produced by CSU to Mr. Kowals, and the June 22 diploma allegedly submitted by Mr. Tinubu to INEC, are very different documents.

“In addition to the different dates, the documents have different seals, fonts, and language. The June 22 diploma has grammatical errors that the June 27 diploma does not have. They are also signed by different persons who are ostensibly officials of CSU. The June 22 diploma has three signatures, one of which purports to be the signature of Dr. Elnora Daniel as President of CSU. The other two signatures on the June 22 diploma are illegible.

“By contrast, the June 27 diploma only has two signatures. They purport to be the signatures of Dr. Daniel, again as the President of CSU, and Dr. Niva Lubin as the Chairperson of the Board of Trustees. Compare

“In his complaint, Mr. Enahoro-Ebah asserts that the June 27 diploma produced by CSU to Mr. Kowals is authentic and that the June 22 diploma submitted by Mr. Tinubu to INEC is a forgery. However, Applicant’s staff have recently conducted further research into the names of CSU officials with legible signatures on the two diplomas: Dr. Daniel (whose signature appears on both the June 22 and June 27 diplomas) and Dr. Lubin (whose signature appears only on the June 27 diploma).”

The report noted that according to public records, Dr. Daniel and Dr. Lubin did not join CSU until the late 1990s—around two decades after CSU supposedly awarded the June 22 diploma and/or the June 27 diploma to Mr. Tinubu.

As a result, the applicant questioned the legitimacy of both the June 22 and June 27 diplomas.

Mr. Enahoro-Ebah said in his lawsuit that there were more disparities between the information provided by Mr. Tinubu to INEC and the records produced by CSU to Mr. Enahoro-Ebah: “According to documents produced by CSU, the ‘Bola Tinubu’ who attended CSU was a U.S. citizen, while in the information provided to INEC, Mr. Tinubu states that he has always been solely a Nigerian citizen and has never acquired the citizenship of any other country.

“According to the documents produced by CSU, the ‘Bola Tinubu’ who attended CSU was born in 1954, while according to the information provided to the INEC, Mr. Tinubu was born in 1952.

“According to the documents produced by CSU, the ‘Bola Tinubu’ who applied to CSU submitted a prior transcript from Southwest College that identified ‘Bola Tinubu’ as ‘female.’ According to the documents produced by CSU, the ‘Bola Tinubu’ who attended CSU claimed that s/he had graduated from Government College, Lagos, in 1970, while in the information provided to INEC, Mr. Tinubu makes no mention of having attended Government College.”

In light of the foregoing, Atiku petitioned the Court for an order granting him leave to compel CSU to reveal and verify the authenticity of documents reportedly granted to Tinubu by the university.

On August 16, Peoples Gazette reported that a US court had set August 23 as the deadline for Tinubu to present persuasive arguments as to why Chicago State University should not be ordered to release his academic records to Atiku Abubakar, his rival in the February 25 presidential election in Nigeria.

The deadline, which is contained in court filings seen by Peoples Gazette, was imposed on August 9 by Jeffrey Gilbert, the new magistrate judge assigned to the case at the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in Chicago.

The Court also ordered Atiku to respond to Tinubu’s argument by September 9, two weeks after Mr Tinubu’s response was anticipated.

According to the report, the timeline shows the court is racing to rule on the matter before September 21, when Nigeria’s election petitions tribunal will likely deliver its judgement in the suit challenging Tinubu’s election victory.

Atiku and Peter Obi of the Labour Party and their parties had filed petitions to challenge the outcome of the presidential election.

On July 11, Atiku also filed the petition seeking to obtain further details of Tinubu’s academic records at the Chicago State University.

Documents sought by Atiku, through his counsel, Angela M. Liu, include a record of his admission and acceptance at the university, dates of attendance including degrees, awards and honours attained by Tinubu at the university.

Atiku informed the court that Tinubu subpoena was to test the truth and veracity of Mr. Tinubu’s assertions, adding that he is currently Nigeria's President and facing various court proceedings concerning his election and the authenticity of documents relating to his attendance at Chicago State University.

But Tinubu has filed a motion to prevent the school from disclosing his educational records.

Tinubu’s counsel, Victor P. Henderson, asked the court to strike it out as no judge of the court heard and granted Atiku the subpoena.

MorningStar233:
One person died and you used the word " people" that man is physically fit than you. He just died because it was destined to happen

Destiny?

The god who destined him to die from jogging while others will alive must be a wicked god.

Is he also the one who destines some people to be mad and others to be crippled?

Shegs12345:
Yes they are the ones that defeated ur fathers during the civil war

Is that Awolowo consumed Rataki and died like a chicken?

Are these the generals that we are taking to Niger?🤔

People who are dying from running exercise?

Niger Republic must be laughing at us right now😏

Fools!

I know Nairaland moderators will rush to push this rubbish to front page even though they know that this idiot doesn’t speak for Ohaneze.

Peter Obi would rather die than ever have anything to do with Tinubu the criminal and senile urine-dispensing drug lord.

You have one singular problem, you always believe you know everything. Any state they mention, you always want whatever you say or know to be the priority but forgetting that you cannot be in Kano and at the same time be in Imo or be in Plateau and still be in Delta state. If you like argue till tomorrow, you cannot know better than the owner of the house. Your secondary info cannot be authentic like the person that has the primary info. If not the system that has been bastardized, there are some issues that needed not to be overflogged but our corrupt system gives room for dick and Harry to have a say on issues remotely not concern them.

Don’t mind Garfield1.

That’s how people who don’t know anything claim to know everything.

OgwuEgo:
We usually vote candidates, Idu Igariwey from PDP won his house of reps seat easily and overwhelmingly. For Senate I believe the Labour Party won but Dave was able to manoeuvre his way. A sizeable vote went to APGA candidate as he hails from Afikpo.
For Governorship the vote was split between APC and PDP, Afikpo people are advanced we project Ebonyi positively. I don't discriminate based on tribe, it is a limited way to judge people.

Thank you for these clarifications.

What I got from this is that Afikpo people also voted for Nwifuru. Others voted PDP. I didn’t see where you talked about anyone voting Prof Odo.

What this means is that Nwifuru overwhelmingly won the 3 Local Governments of Izzi people, that is Izzi, Ebonyi and Abakaliki.

Then he won Ohaukwu and Ikwo.

And was also voted for in Afikpo and the Ohaozara areas. I wonder where Prof Odo got his own votes that is making Ezza people think they have say?

Cc: Garfield1, come and see an Afikpo person telling Umahi lost in Afikpo after losing in his polling unit. When I tell you about Ebonyi politics you will be arguing with me.

OgwuEgo:
Unwana

Oh! Interesting.

Tell me, bring me in into the sentiments of your people about the politics of Ebonyi.

In the last governorship election, who do you think that majority of Afikpo and Ehugbo people supported?

And what’s your people’s view of the Ezza people?

garfield1:
You lie.julius ucha is the next gov after nwifuru

Just like you were telling Nasarawa people what happened in their state, you also want to tell me what will happen in my state?

I know Ucha has been a consistent and loyal APC member since the ANPP days but his popularity seems to have waned over the years.

Again, considering that Nwifuru would also try to play a part in who succeeds him after 8 years, I don’t think he would look in the way of Ucha. Another young man from Ebonyi Central will succeed Nwifuru.

But if it goes to the old cargoes, Ogba would get it before Ucha.

OgwuEgo:
So Nwifuru won't do 2 terms?

Lol! You should know I meant 2031 joor.

Where in Ebonyi are you from though?

OgwuEgo:
Ogba decamping to APC is also a sign of desperation, he is a career politician, he should make way for new talents.

Ogba is already positioning himself for 2027 and I won’t be surprised if he gets it.

CaptainAyub:
Has Izzi man ruling prevented ur brothers from doing menial jobs like farm hands and barrow pushers all over Nigeria?
Na Izzi de still give Abakaliki bad name all over Nigeria, every other ppl are upgrading,una dey stuck in primitive lifestyle.
You people are d poorest in Ebonyi and in southern Nigeria as a whole but u think you have bragging rights.
Apart from Izzi people that stole govt money ,tell me one rich Izzi man U know?
Tell me one notable hotel or business owned by an Izzi person in Abakaliki or anywhere in Nigeria.
I jus de laugh

All I see is salty tears.

Are all these things you stated the reason Ezza people are the Fulanis of Southeast and consistently getting slaughter*d by their hosts because they can’t stop showing how evil they are wherever they go?

In Ezillo, you couldn’t co-exist with Ezillo people who were your hosts. They started slaughter!ng you like goats and you had to rent your fellow itinerant Ezza people from Ezza Akpoga in Enugu to come help you fight.

You lots have started again in Effium and they have started slaughter!ng you people like goats again.

Why always Ezza? Why can’t you cohabit peacefully with people?

That’s why you desperately wanted the governorship. Because you wanted to use State power to relocate your people from where they have spread all over the place like Fulani herdsmen, and allocate choice areas to them to make permanent home. You think we don’t have intelligence?

You can continue to cry but like I told you, if you people continue this kind of politics of “ike keta orie”, we would keep rotating power around you for the foreseeable future.

Like I said, let’s play.

garfield1:
I dun read the 2008 judgment,I no see anything like that.abeg follow read and tell me wetin you see? No be this same aondoakaa that court banned from holding office

Now go and say it on Arise TV.

Go and challenge Aondokaa and tell him he lied on national TV.

CaptainAyub:
These are your own words

"The party has shown that it’s a den of criminals, a coven of certificate forgers and everything evil.

If Nigeria will continue to survive, then APC must be exterminated from the country’s political space"

According to you,APC must be exterminated.
You didn't differentiate whether at the national level or generally, just that APC must be exterminated.
When I reminded you you support APC at the state level,you started rambling disjointedly and incoherently

You have mental illness.
Seek mental health help.

An Izzi man is governing and your fathers, and will do so for 8 years.

Cry me an ocean.

OgwuEgo:
Ogba will be 70 years old after Nwifuru tenure, I am not sure it's still a good idea to hand over to him at that age.

You are right. We can’t go from young Nwifuru to an old man but politics can be somehow sometimes.

Nevertheless, if Ogba isn’t getting it, there are other young people of Nkalagu district we can give it to.

I just hate what Ezza people did in the last election. Even the new Catholic Bishop of Abakaliki that is from Ezza couldn’t hide his bias.

garfield1:
How did that judgment arise when yaradua won fct? Read the 2008 judgment and quote the portion.alwsys apply commonsense

So the former AGF is lying?

If yes, why hasn’t any lawyer gone on same platform to challenge him that there was no such ruling?

MTNnews:
Same thing that made your foolish head reasoned that a disbarred lawyer should be who Nigeria should be looking up to for justice

Simple question….

Does disbarring take away his knowledge of law?
