Lol bold of you to even think Obi has any special image. 😆

If you are not Igbo, then you are one of the brainwashed adults. I can easily sell fake things to you and make you fight for me when someone tells you what I sold to you is fake. 😂

😂 😂 😂
Oga Obi is an upstanding business man. You can verify his business history and the information is there. You cannot tarnish his image at all. I know that is what you have been tasked to do.

Nna no understand simple English. Classmate is different from school mate. Mr. President said school mate.
But Alex went to University of Illnois, while Tinubu went to CSU. How can they be school mates?

Tinubu is the most intelligent president Nigeria ever have in this Republic, infact, with throwing this simple confusion and opposition fell for it means he will always defeats them.

Your school mate can be of any age gap to you. Of what importance is opposition rushing at this? The principles of throwing confusion to enemies is really working on opposition.
Bros na wah for you oooo. It would have been better you didn't say anything. Alex Zingman school are University of Illnois, while Tinubu went to CSU.

You are slow gan.

I say it many times that many Nigerians speak English but do not understand or frequently abuse the language.


It could be that Alex was a younger neighbor who later attended the same school as Tinubu. In which case Tinubu goofed and showed poor use of English by saying “with me” instead of “as me”.

The other explanation is that they did indeed attend school together at the same time but this is a different Alex from the one born in 1966 who also lived in Chicago whose records Atiku’s goons retrieved from public r cords just as Iwas able to.. It is not unusual to have multiple people with the same name in the same town. It’s not the first time his goons have made a full of him chasing shadows.

One thing I am sure of, Tinubu would not have made that statement in public unless it was factual, considering the previous controversies.
But Alex never went to CSU? Please explain that

I trust my president to ignore this nonsense and a new distraction cos it never matters, it’s all a package madness.
What matters is, the school he went said he attended. We saw him in the school’s yearbook. His classmates he mentioned previously(and y’all said why is his classmate a Yoruba) is also in the yearbook. So y’all will have to on your own and independently go and prove this beyond a reasonable doubt and then give us the truth you have established. Everything else is just a diversion from how we need to peacefully break up this country.
Dude why are you so disgruntled. This country will never break up oooo after ruining the country with Tinubu, you want to break up!!! No way of you try, we will use force to bring you back. For the record Alex and Tinubu didn't go to the same school the former went to University of Illnois, while the latter who is our president went to CSU.

It is often used interchangeably with class mate.

This is why opposition will continue to lose in Nigeria, they know they have a bunch of dullards as followers, hence they keep feeding them with junks which they will gulp down their throats in excitement. This one that call himself Paul ibe will also claim he went to school too?. What a shame, bunch of low IQ suckers called opposition. Listen to the President's speech one more time, no where did he refer to Mr Alex as his classmate but rather as a close neighbor and schoolmate. No wonder, Atiku continue to fail on his Presidential bid since 1993, if these are people he surrounds himself with.
The Age difference between when Tinubu graduated and the said mate's was so wide.

Except the mate is just a random person that attended same university with about a decade apart.

Lol, at least we are now aware that Atiku pays his boys around 850k - 1million naira. But unfortunately, they are being paid for a lazy job, my sincere sympathy goes to Atiku for wasting his money. Mr President's speech is very clear and much available in audiovisual. Tinubu referred to the man as his schoolmate and not as his classmate.. big difference.
If this is the best opposition could offer, then I'm so sorry for them, no wonder, they keep failing.


-Kiss the truth!
He said and I quote him “Meet Alex Zingman, we attended school together in Chicago, he was my schoolmate and very good neighbor”.

Tinubu finished from CSU in 1979. Zingman was born in 1966, that makes him 13 years old when Tinubu finished from CSU. If we assume he was a 3 year junior to Tinubu, that makes him 10 years old in 100L. A 10 years old in USA based on their academic age requirements would still likely be in elementary school. How did Zingman make it to university at such young age?

Zingman’s records are online. He never attended CSU. He had his degree in Belarus at a polytechnic. He came to USA University of Illinois in 1991-1995 for a masters.

It is possible that Tinubu met him while he ran away on exile in 1994, but they were never school mates according to their academic records.

Your analogy, amusing as it is grin doesn't really apply here. A schoolmate is literally someone you attended same school with, at the same time. If that wasn't evidence enough, he also said neighbor right? How could they have been neighbors and schoolmates if they didn't attend at same time?

The mumu even heloed my argument by contradicting himself. So by definition, Tinubu meant that a 13 year old was in the same University as he was. Who is the liar or ignoramus between you and Tinubu now?

Irony1:
I like what you said about hate and tribalism because you just exposed yourself there. I heard the president say loud and clear they were neighbours and school mates and the question is how can a 14 year old be your school mate. It also raises another question, was Tinubu living in CSU hostel grounds or was he living outside campus?
" Alex was my very good neighbour, and went to the same school with me in Chicago " quoted Mr president's verbatim . I did not hear school mate there , where did you hear yours ?
.
Now first off., I believe the right words the president should have used is " the same school AS me " not with me , a grammatical error there , nothing else .
Secondly , is it not plausible that Alex was Tinubu's neighbour in Chicago in the mid-nineties of the Abacha years after he must have dropped out of school as unverified records showed that he was a second year student of UIC ( not CSU) as at 1992 . Would that not make Alex a man in his 30's circa '96/97 when Tinubu was in exile from Abacha.? Which one is all these 14 years old "schoolmate" everyone of you is now deliberately misquoting the man ? All these mischievous takes on this over a slip of tongue at worst .

They attended the same university, but not at the same time = Schoolmate........😊

Long after he had graduated, tinubu still resided in the suburbs of Chicago..... Alex was admitted to CSU, not too far from tinubu's home = neighbours...... 😂🤣

University of Illnois is also in Chicago, only 124 miles from Chicago state University......

They could have met at state wide University campus parties..... They are still schoolmates (virtue of state) & neighbours (student accommodation, not to far from tinubu's residence)........ 🤣😂

As the God of heaven he is abi?

My only happiness is that the north I know will never vote and work for another man with their brother on ballot especially the terrible things they are facing now.

Let's see how your Tinubu will cope without Obi in the ballot.

Just tell him there's no need to pay people again to make Peter Obi unpopular because he must surely wine and drink in Hell with the North this time and not Obi.

i have finally solved the riddle:

it is the same person.

1: Tinubu and Alex were neighbours in the 1990s when Tinubu was in exile in the US.
2: Alex was at the time doing a masters in business at CSU, Tinubu had already graduated

Tinubu should have said "as me" instead of "with me" many Nigerians abuse English in this manner.

in conclusion, they were neighbours they attended the same school but not at the same time.

i said it in a previous post that this is likely a use of English problem:

casualobserver:
“Alex was my very good friend and neighbor and went to the same school with me in Chicago”


I say it many times that many Nigerians speak English but do not understand or frequently abuse the language.


It could be that Alex was a younger neighbor who later attended the same school as Tinubu. In which case Tinubu goofed and showed poor use of English by saying “with me” instead of “as me”.

That's a pretty big stretch bro, but I guess it's possible. Any which way tho, doesn't really change much, we'll probably move onto the next race soon enough and forget all about Tinubu's suspicious af credentials grin
