No one said he didn't attend the college.

What we say is the entry qualifications he used to enter are false. They belong to a dead bola Tinubu who was female.

Even Evangelist Bola Are also stole her identity grin

Bola means "meet wealth".

Its not mandatory that your parents a suffix or prefix behind Bola.

Soon we would start asking you too why Obi os not Obioma or Obiajulu.
I am not Igbo. I don't know.

But no one names a child simply Bola. All the instances you have cited have their full versions.

I screenshot this and searched, and here's the results.

I couldn’t confirm that exact 1978 front-page with those headlines or the specific quote. But here are some observations and clues suggesting it’s likely not authentic (or at least, heavily suspect):


---

Some known facts

The Sacramento Union was a real daily newspaper in Sacramento, California, active until 1994.

The UC Davis / Shields Library holds microfilm archives and clipping files of The Sacramento Union, including in the 1970s.

The archives cover “the microfilm which is available for 1851–1994” for The Sacramento Union.


Thus, if that clipping were real, it should in principle be findable in those archives.


---

Reasons for suspicion

1. No matching record found in known archives so far
Given the archives’ existence, one would expect specialized newspaper-search services or library catalogues to show that issue or headline. But searches for “June 18, 1978” editions or “Doors open for blacks in race field Sacramento Union” turned up nothing credible in trusted archives.


2. The clipping image has formatting and type issues
The style, fonts, spacing, and the way “BOLA TINUBU, A Nigerian student…” is written read like a modern fake overlay rather than an authentic 1978 newspaper layout. The alignment and the mixture of uppercase and lowercase seems uneven.


3. Inconsistency / plausibility concerns
The wording “Doors open for blacks in race field” and the placement look a bit contrived. Also, the smaller snippet “Because of the shortage of minorities …” seems generic and reminiscent of language used in modern social media for viral clips.


4. No verification from credible historical or journalism sources
If such a sensational headline existed—claiming a student named “Bola Tinubu” making that statement in The Sacramento Union in 1978—it would likely have been noted or flagged by historians, fact-checkers, or media outlets. I found no independent corroboration.




---

Conclusion

It’s very likely that the “publication” as shown is either fabricated, edited, or misleading (e.g. modern overlay on an archival background). I do not believe the specific clipping in your screenshot is genuine as presented.

It’s actually not politics aside because he is only successful in politicking while a complete failure in governance.

How else can you explain that Lagos lacks water supply after 26 years of his master plan and trillions annual budget huh
Obingo with his third class stand no chance, politics/governance aside.
