Where is Tinubu's alma mater in Nigeria?

His primary and secondary school classmates?
Tinubu attended St. John's Primary School, Aroloya, Lagos before proceeding to Children Home School in Ibadan.[5] Tinubu arrived in the United States in 1975, where he commenced undergraduate studies first at Richard J. Daley College in Chicago and then at Chicago State University where he majored in accounting and management. He worked odd jobs as a dishwasher, night security guard and cab driver to support himself through college.[6] He made the honor dean's list as an undergraduate and taught remedial class tutorials, some of his classmates credited his lectures for their improved grades. Tinubu was the university accounting society president in his senior year. His cumulative GPA was 3.54.[6] Tinubu graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in 1979.[7][8]

he did not attend secondary school in nigeria according to Wikipedia

Say what you will, but if we’re being fair, a man who started from Government College Ibadan and made it all the way to Chicago State University , and then climbed the political ladder to become president , that’s no small feat.
No small feat at all. It is very unfortunate, people don't see the good side of this man called President Tinubu. Like him or hate him, he is a man who deserves to be studied. A man who cannot be deterred by any obstacle on his way to achieve his goal

You are right. However, if you are setting a standard for a work as low as cleaner, then a level of educational qualifications should be a vital requirement for someone aiming to rule over a country whose majority of it citizens are educated. Bola made it there cause of irregularities and malpractice in our electoral system.

Not defending Tinubu here particularly but that man Tinubu did attended school. It takes brilliant people to spot someone who only just managed to understand English and make fake certificate to back up for alma mater.

For some reason tinubu is hiding his school history pre -chicago.

However, i do believe he had the full gamut of education. He did work for Mobil. Unless Mobil was taking in stark illiterates in the 1980s, he did work for them.

The man is making matters worse for himself by going out of his way to hide his pre-chicago history. As to why he is doing that, i don't know. The issue with Watergate was not the crime itself , but the coverup, to use an American example.

Anyway, tinubu hiding things indicates a cunning chap who would have issues with trust

What do i know? Most Nigerian politicians are the same. But it won't vote for tinubu, because Gani did not trust him. And if Gani does not trust you, forget it. The man had a nose for deceitful people

People like Tinubu can only be a president in Nigeria - a country where anything goes. Just make money in Nigeria and then you will be above the law.
Belated.

But you can't deny the fact that he has satisfied the requirements of ability to write and communicate effectively in official language, English.

Besides, dem no dey primary school before gaining admission into a prestigious school like GCI?. WHERE IS HIS PRIMARY SCHOOL?.

Bottomline; HE IS AN ALIEN!!🤪😜
Re: Where Is Tinubu's Alma Mater In Nigeria? by Babangidapikin: 10:03am On Jul 28, 2025
Someone should at least remember him, even if it's outside the country. If others cannot remember him , then it's safe to assume he was home tutored .
He didn't drop from the sky neither was he cloned , put a 100 million down, maybe someone would remember him.

Succes is about making some illegal money abroad,run back to Nigeria,be generous to thugs and touts, contest for election and hold the state ransom for 25years.

Are you being SARCASTIC or are you really this dense?. Why did he deny signing his FIRST FORM he filed at INEC that he attended GCI IBADAN claiming that AFIKUYOMI signed it, while claiming he was HOMESCHOOLED in later ones ( including the most recent)?. Let him claim GCI as his alma mater and I'll slam him with EYE-TURNING PERJURY 🤪😜

Don't mind them. Defending Tinubu is the hardest job in the world because they are always on the defensive, thinking of how they can cover up all the lies.

Leave them, talk is cheap.

The truth is that he has met the requirements of ability to write and communicate effectively in English.

It's a funny country indeed, all of them doesn't know where their president went to school and they think they will ever find out what he has in plan for them?

When the beginning is fraudulent, the end is already doomed.
I really don't get it. My Secondary School has some prominent alumni, we have a Deputy Governor, House of Rep members, top businessmen, Nollywood actor, popular singer, etc.

My Uni has Rep member, senior military officer(s), etc.

They all know us and relate well with us. We attend meetings, AGMs, hangouts. All the time.

How can people have a PRESIDENT as classmate and they keep quiet about it?

Re: Where Is Tinubu's Alma Mater In Nigeria? by casualobserver: 10:15am On Jul 28, 2025
Afe Babalola is one of Nigeria’s greatest all time lawyers! Nobody can show you his alma mater or class mates from secondary school……why? Because he didn’t go to school. He studied at home and passed the external exams for admission abroad.

This was the norm in those days. Many did not go to school but studied at home. Many of Todays youth do not k ow what privilege they have that education is state sponsored and compulsory!

I think the fact that education is free explains in part why we are producing so many unintelligent graduates. If you had to struggle for your education, you’d work harder and be more focused.

Tinubu does not have Nigerian classmates because his parents could not afford to send him to school and he had to study on his own.

If anything it is a testament to his determination to pull himself out of poverty. Something to be admired not mocked!

Did he lie in 1999 that he went to GCI, yes. Did he graduate from CSU with as 1st class in accounting yes. Is he your president Yes! Deal with it.

Make una rest abeg.
That's how we kept talking about Buhari's WAEC certificate for 8 years, distracting us from the main issues of bad governance.
Alma mata or not, certificate or not, drugs or not, peeing or not, brown teeth or not; only elections can remove the man.
I suggest we focus on offline outreach and sensitization to let the people outside social media understand why they must vote right come 2027.
The bulk of the voters who decide who rules (assuming elections are free and fair) do not even know what alma mata is.
You get brain jare. All these online banters and insults don't win election. Some of us here don't even have voters card talkless of voting.

We are here asking about Tinubu's certificate and alma mater while the man is winning so many of the important voters to his side. He has brains and strategy to win elections more than University professors who have been teaching politics for many years.

Even if we are able prove that he is an illiterate that never attended any formal school, it does nothing to better Nigeria. His name had been cemented as a President of Nigeria. All those who you knew their Alma mater, where are they in Nigeria history. Come the next 100 years people will still see Tinubu name as one of Nigeria Presidents wether good or bad.

People who vote seem to be more knowledgeable than most of us on this forum. We just seat down and complain, castigate, insult and more. They vote based on their choices.
