SHETTIMA, HOW DID BOLA GRADUATE BEFORE GOVERNMENT COLLEGE LAGOS EXISTED?

 “While Shettima debates school records, families are skipping meals, workers cannot afford the journey to work, and his government calls their suffering reform.”

At the 32nd Nigerian Economic Summit in Abuja today, Vice President Kashim Shettima had a chance to explain why Nigerians are struggling to afford fuel, transport and food. Instead, he mocked Atiku Abubakar for attending the Kano School of Hygiene. Faced with the cost of living crisis, this government’s Vice President attacked a man’s school.

What, exactly, is shameful about Atiku’s education? He completed secondary school, pursued further training and built a life through work. Millions of Nigerians have travelled the same road. Their parents sacrificed to get them into the schools they could afford; they studied, worked and rose. Shettima looked at that struggle and saw something to laugh at.

If Shettima wants to examine school records, he should begin with the man he serves. A document in Bola Tinubu’s Chicago State University records lists him as having graduated from Government College Lagos in 1970, four years before the school was established in 1974. Shettima should explain how a man graduates from a school before it exists, instead of mocking Atiku for attending a school whose doors were open.

Then there is the question of names. The NYSC certificate Tinubu submitted to INEC bears the name “Tinubu Bola Adekunle.” Atiku has challenged that discrepancy in court. Shettima cannot ridicule Atiku’s documented schooling while refusing to address questions about the name on his principal’s certificate.

Tinubu’s Chicago State University documents are also still the subject of litigation in the United States. The questions raised about documents submitted for his election must be answered on their own terms. Insulting Atiku’s school will not make them disappear.

Nor can Shettima pretend that the documented 1993 forfeiture in Chicago, arising from a narcotics investigation, has never raised questions. A separate U.S. case concerning the release of records from that historical investigation remains a matter of public interest.

Shettima says Atiku wants Nigerians to “backslide into penury.” Back from where? The World Bank estimates that nearly seven in ten Nigerians will live below its lower middle income poverty line in 2026, while 35 million people face acute food insecurity. Poverty is not a future threat to these families. It is the life they are struggling through today.

A parent choosing between transport to work and food for the children does not need Shettima to explain penury. His remark shows how far this government has drifted from the people it serves.

Atiku has proposed a targeted, capped and independently audited subsidy tied to petrol refined in Nigeria. If Shettima thinks it cannot be funded, he should show his figures and offer a better way to lower prices. Insulting Atiku will not fill a cooking pot, pay a bus fare or put fuel in a tank.

Atiku has nothing to be ashamed of. He walked through the doors of the Kano School of Hygiene, studied, worked and rose. The shame belongs to Shettima, who stood before a nation weighed down by hunger and chose to laugh at honest education.

After three and a half years in the saddle, Nigerians have seen the bitter consequences of allowing a man with a forged education to become President. Tinubu is an error the Nigerian electorate made in 2023, and on January 16, 2027, the whole country will be impatient to correct that error.

Shettima and Bola may be too far removed from ordinary homes to hear the anger building inside them. Those homes will have a voice at the ballot box. Nigerians will answer the Vice President’s mockery and his boss’s record with their votes. Shettima and Bola will be beaten by the very people they have stopped listening to.

Did the school complain...?

Even if the school didn't complain, moral makes it so.

Who are the "we", this crowd, abi another one? Mcheeeeew!!!

This is the crass idiocy and stupidity associated with anything or anyone APC. Their critical or intellectual thinking ability prismatically warped and mind boggling.

ADC, the emergency lover of Nigeria.

Didn't Pdp and LP pursue the certificate matter before the last election, what was the outcome?

Is this your response to owing staff of the party months of unpaid salaries? Terrible lots—-no wonder they’re pushing for a return of subsidy so we can go back to the era of states owing months of unpaid salaries.

Tinubu is not coming back through the ballot. Go and write it down .

If he attempts to rig himself in, he will set up a revolutionary conflagration that will start from North and envelope the entirety of this country. His worst nightmare will staring at him in his face..

My recommendations: When he loses (which he will), he should simply call and congratulate the winner. And then negotiate for soft landing for himself and his goons like Wike who knows that his head will be on the line for all the atrocious crimes he has committed..

You're an Igbo man, stop speaking on behalf of the North.

Why can't the revolution start in Abia or Anambra state?

Stop hiding behind your Northern Masters abeg

How much do you have?

If you're a man of your word


Let's bet 100k

If Asiwaju win, you will send 20k each to five Asiwaju's supporters I will choose on Nairaland.

If your Candidate win the Election, make you just give me the account I will send the 100k

You have a deal. Sealed!

Shettima is only ignorant
Schools of hygiene in those days have better academic standard than most secondary schools
They were just like government technical colleges which came later

Don't you think you're not making sense
Has anyone visited the school to ask for their opinion on the matter or when have you seen a govt agency put mouth into political issues
Moreso, this issue has existed since 1999. It's not a new development that Tinubu lied about his education. GCI actually denied him in 2000 when he lied that he attended GCI

Absolutely perfect! Such a charming little detail. AcadaWriter

They will just keep quiet and not debunk it?

I think you should take your own advice

Kids who know next to nothing but have an opinion on everything have invaded the internet

Gani wrote to GCI to confirm Tinubu's student status

It's a daft comparison to make between submitting a form to INEC and going on TV to announce something

What school did you attend? I'm compiling a list of schools that need to be shut down

People defending fraud.

ADC that cant pay staff salary , a beg na only NDC and APC dey this election

School of cocaine administration.

No wonder their supporters are behaving anyhow.

This is not the response to owing staff salaries.

This one is the responsibility to mocking Atiku u's educational qualifications.
