Validated:
Even Tinubu will end up in jail. With the revelations coming up, some CSU officials may be arrested. This has gone beyond Nigeria.
Even the A Amode has no graduating course. While all other graduates have their courses listed.

Gadafii:
You should have started your investigation from his primary school not CSU

oyatz:
Is Amode a Nigerian name?

Yankee101:
I went to an American school. One thing they don’t play with is graduating pictures. Tinubu spent a lot to buy his way

The only graduating year pictures missing is the year he said he graduated.Every other year is available
Atiku may make some of the university officials end up in jail

opamoses1:
Since OP is very good with AI, he can help uncover what year the picture below is from.

I got the below from gistlover.

Racoon:
Something is clearly obvious now. Bola Tinubu never attended CSU since they school authority have erased that record of the graduating year of 1979 and Tinubu have been implicated to be parading two controversial certificates from the same institution.

CSU is highly complicit in this case because they have entered a cul-de-sac with this Tinubu or Amoda debacle and they are just making themselves more stupider everyday with every churned out lies to defend Tinubu. Who noticed none of his well known zombies on this platform no more defends him?

First Stop- Chicago State University

Hire a private investigator, visit Chicago State University or just send an FOI request to the School?

All options seemed plausible and doable but then again I thought; with AI, the internet archive and online data trace firms, you can quickly get to the root of many such investigations these days. If I meet a dead-end, I will have to resort to any of the above options to finish this investigation.

Let's get to work!

I visited the internet archive and carried out a few search queries on Chicago State University. (The Internet Archive is an American digital library founded in 1996. It contains records of digital publications that have appeared on the internet). Visit www.archive.org to search

If Bola Tinubu claimed to have graduated from Chicago State University in such flying colors and even official recommendations, then the odds of finding such brilliant student in the School's year book would be almost certain.

My first search query was on the names "Bola, Tinubu, Yekini, Sangodele, Adekunle and Amoda.

All these queries returned zero results for the following year period- 1975 - 1980.

I thought okay this might be a dead-end already? But I don't like to give up easily, hence I decided to peruse the pages of the yearbooks class after class. Conspicuously or by mere coincidence, the yearbook for the year 1979 (the year Tinubu allegedly claims to have graduated) was absent or missing. Okay maybe I can find it elsewhere? I decided to do a deeper-search using a different browser type but could not get my hands on the graduating year of 1979. It was quite weired that the yearbook for the exact year the president claims to have graduated was no where on the internet (even though there is data for previous graduating sets before 1979 and also for years after 1979).

Should I revert to my prior options or find a way through this?

I decided to peruse the pages of the yearbooks year after year to see the names and faces of the graduating students, perhaps I might come across a few friends of his who might have known the man in the past (this might be helpful for a PI).

Baaam! I struck something!

A. Amode

Wait, this graduating student is the only one who has one name written beneath his album picture. Also, this is the graduating set of 1977 not 1979 which Tinubu claimed to have graduated.

Before they pull it down, you can view my search query here to find the only surviving picture of this mysterious student "A. Amode".

Who is A. Amode? Which kind problem be this!

I decided to keep searching. Then I stumbled on another old credible news publication which cited Tinubu claiming to have graduated in 1977/78...

Capernum:
This man called Tinubu is so mystical. He is not only strange but scary. Like one of the gods incarnate.

Raskimonojendor:



It's not missing actually. OP just did not do his own assignment properly.

Yankee101:


Can you post it here?

It’s public records

Fsnudo:
Mods it is not possible to upload pictures please come to our rescue

Raskimonojendor:

Tinubu below. The man indeed graduated just as the university claimed.

koiki4bat:


Wow, this can pass as a young tinubu too o. His name is Thubv too? Omo his name is Thubv?? That's what it shows in the link you share

Raskimonojendor:

Yes. Oyinbo foreigners are specialists in bastadizing names. My friend had his name changed from owoeye to owopyie in our year book we all still jokingly call him owopyie till date

2 other Nigerians from the same year book as Tinubu below had their names bastardized as well.

Eagle360:
Op your work in not done. Evidence shows he graduated in 1977 from the uploaded set 77
BOLA A. with a misspelled surname THUBV. Do you made efforts to us AI on this? Or you are more concerning about donations to complete your work.

koiki4bat:


My dear before any reasonable judge, Tinubu as Thubv is not bastardisation, it's vandalisation I know you understand the difference, only Bola A. Thubv has his name abbreviated in the whole year book. The year book name format is first name last name. Check to confirm if I'm lying first sir

Fsnudo:
This is a detailed and daring investigative effort by an investigative journalist, to unmask the many mysteries surrounding Bola A. Tinubu's mysterious past.

Please take your spaces in the thread without derailing it with ethnic supremacy or bigoted comments. Your moniker will be reported if you do otherwise.


This is an exclusive story that first appeared on nairaland on 26th of August 2023 and might help other well meaning Nigerians make informed conclusions on Bola Tinubu's mysteries past.

The journalist makes inferences from investigative cues and avoids conjectures or blanket conclusions, to avoid propagating rumours.
