Cute Abiola ( Abdulgafar Ahmad Oluwatoyin) On Facebook

According to @Grok the viral photograph circulating online, often claimed to be of Bola Tinubu as a young man, is actually an old image of the late father of Nigerian comedian and content creator Cute Abiola (real name Abdulgafar Ahmad Oluwatoyin).

The photo depicts a man in a 1970s-style white tuxedo with dark trim, a ruffled shirt, bow tie, lapel flower, and an afro hairstyle, likely taken at a formal event such as a wedding.

It gained renewed attention when Cute Abiola recreated the outfit for his own birthday photoshoot in April 2025, leading to discussions about the resemblance. Multiple social media posts and comments have clarified that it's not Tinubu, despite the mistaken identity due to facial similarities, and warned against misinformation.

This echoes past instances where other photos, such as one of former governor Donald Duke as a child, were falsely presented as young Tinubu.

Me: This man Tinubu has no history o. Who really is Mr Bola Tinubu and where is he really from?

The photo is indeed of Cute Abiola's late father, not President Tinubu, as clarified in my previous analysis. Regarding Tinubu's background: Born March 29, 1952, in Lagos, Nigeria, to a Yoruba family.

He studied accounting at Chicago State University, worked at Mobil Oil, and entered politics as a senator in 1992, later becoming Lagos governor (1999-2007). Controversies exist, but this is from official records.

This picture is an old picture of President Tinubu. It has nothing to do with Cute Abiola's grandfather. Do a thorough search and confirm my assertion, please.

Thanks for pointing this out. After thorough review of multiple sources (including fact-checks, media reports from Legit.ng and Instagram posts from 2023), the photo appears to be Bola Tinubu at a 1970s Chicago wedding. Cute Abiola's 2025 birthday recreation seems like a skit, with many comments noting the resemblance/misuse. No definitive evidence it's his father. Appreciate the correction!

Our dear moderator has already clarified in the post below. So, what else do you want? I strongly advise you stop spreading lies about others out of political disagreement. In politics, we should know where to draw the line. Lies, outright falsehood, character assassination etc won’t make Peter Obi president.

"...The troubles with Bola Tinubu’s candidacy are enormous. Some are within his control, while others are not. No candidate for the presidency of Nigeria has ever come into the campaign with much political baggage as Tinubu, not even Muhammadu Buhari. We can find in three folds everything wrong with Muhammadu Buhari in Bola Tinubu.

The self-inflicted personal baggage of Tinubu is well known to all. His inability to present a straight biography is one of them. Nothing about him is straightforward; his age, his name, his certificates, his schools (primary, secondary, university), his parents, his source of wealth, the state of his health, his ever-changing ideology, etc. Even his classmates are unknown.

Though possession of a crooked biography has never stopped anyone from being the president of Nigeria, the case of Tinubu is so egregious. They are coming at a point when Nigerians are less tolerant of such character flaws.

It does not help that more and more Nigerians are beginning to see the correlation between such flaws and the performance of the bearer, as Muhammadu Buhari exemplified.

You as a mod should always have an objective mind and not being overly pre-emptive or judgemental when a sensitive issue is unfolding. This is how the Donald Duke's identity theft case happened till Tinubu was exposed.

Now, another one is emerging. The ideal thing to do is to hear from the Abiola's family first then juxtaposed with Tinubu's before arriving @a conclusion. Not facing Racoon. Trust, Premium Times and other media house will take it up and more truth will come out

Donald Duke be like #yinmu

Trust king Bulaba at your own peril.

All the information out there about him are all false.

This one too can't be different.

Talking about this picture, if it was really the King himself, his servants would be in possession of other pictures taken on same day at same event in deferent poses and in company of others. They'd would have been able to tell us who the celebrant of the event he attended is too.

Of all people to steal picture from it is Donald Duke they went for. That's one of the most flamboyant Nigerian ex-governors who's picture will be recognisable anywhere and yet that's what they picked.

In fairness to them, they didn't know
They thought it was a random picture of an African boy probably a black American until Donald Duke came out to own the picture
Even when people pointed out the discrepancies in the features of the boy and older Tinubu's picture in the Chicago schoolbook, they sent their agbadeau army to cuss, insult and obfuscate until Duke came out and burst their bubble

So where is pre-emptive judgement?

The same tactics they have employed over and over and it didn't work with Buhari and it's still not working with Tinubu.

When will my people give up and change tactics? Politics and emotions are two parallel lines that would never meet.

Last weekend, Nairaland members told me that Seyi Tinubu was born into wealth because his father was a billionaire. I asked them for the work his father did, they told me I was jealous, I should tell my dad to go and be a billionaire and all balablue explanations. They told me his father funded NADECO, one even said that if you know what his father made when he was in USA, the same man who told us he was a gypsy cab driver and he will never forget how a Naval officer slapped himhuh Then they told us he worked for Deloitte as an auditor, he worked for Mobil, he was a Senator 🤡🤡😂😂😂😂

I won't bother responding to you. It's a good thing that investors details are not shrouded in secrecy and you can see who has what and how much because of stock market regulators. Thank you for the (HID) Awolowo story. I am happy with your detailed explanation of what he did and how you conveniently wrote 'same for Tinubu' and then went on lecturing me on compounding investments. Can you tell me one of the investments that Mr Tinubu invested in that is compounding his wealth into billions?

Can you also tell me about his early life. When he went to school, what schools did he attend and early career. I just want you to write his biography since you know him so well. Do you also know any of his classmates in high school? I hear Obasanjo, I hear Soyinka, I hear Buhari talk about their old school mates, I even hear Bode George too. Who were his contemporaries and where are they today? He was a class of 66 or 67? Was he a science student? Just tell me a good story. I want to learn.
