Say no more, big bredrin. 125th and Lennox is the place - and Uptown as well. Black mecca right there. I like the place though.

Was that where you got the celestial wisdom from, big bredin? Them black hebrew Israelites will civilise any savages they come in contact with.

bro sorry to say...you are a complete fool. ..you don't know what you are saying and you are happy saying nonsense...Community College offer associate degree program. ..it is cheaper than 4yr college...you can even be in 4yr college and still take some courses in community college

If you graduate in a community college, you will transfer your courses to 4yr college. ..don't loose your sense of reasoning because you hate someone

The Governor informed us that before coming to Nigeria, he worked as an Accountant with Deloitte Haskins & Sells and at GTE Services Corporation. Enclosed herewith and marked "Annexure 17" and "Annexure 18" respectively are the pay slips relating to the above establishments.

He said he came to Nigeria and undertook his National Youth Service between November 12, 1982 and November 11, 1983 with HARBONI LIMITED of IBADAN. A copy of the National Youth Service Corp. discharge certificate number 173807 issued to Tinubu, Bola Adekunle (NYSC/OY/FORN/82/9106) dated November 11, 1983 was given to the Committee as proof. This is herewith attached and marked as "Annexure 19". The Governor said he also worked at Mobil Oil Nigeria Plc and rose to become the Treasurer of the organisation. To buttress this claim, he tendered the following documents:

1. A copy of Mobil Oil Nigeria, Plc Certificate of Service dated May 14th, 1992 issued in favour of Mr. B.A. Tinubu. Herewith attached and marked "Annexure 20" is a copy of the said certificate.

2. A letter written by Mobil Oil Nigeria Plc dated December 29th, 1998 addressed to whom it may concern confirming that Mr. Tinubu was an employee of the Company between December 1, 1983 and mMay 17th, 1992. He was said to have left on May 18th, 1992 on public service lease of absence and did not return at the end of the leave. Herewith attached and marked "Annexure 21" is a copy of the said letter.

3. A welcome address by Paul L. Caldwell, Chairman/Managing Director of Mobil Producing Nigeria at the dinner given in honour of Senator Bola Tinubu on June 11th, 1992. Herewith attached and marked "Annexure 22" is a copy of the said address.

When questions were asked about age discrepancies, he insisted that he was born in 1952 and not 1954. In support of his claim, he referred to INEC FORM. 001 and his gubernatorial profile that put his year of birth as 1952. This tallies with his 1992 voters registration card and the Social Democratic Party senatorial candidature form dated June 1 1992, item 2 of which put his date of birth at March 29th, 1952.

The following documents were also made available to the Committee by the Governor.

1. His international passport number A0004062. Herewith attached and marked "Annexure 23" is a copy of the relevant page of the said passport;

2. His United States of America refugee travel passport number A74685870. Herewith attached and marked "Annexure 24" is a copy of the relevant page of the said passport; and

3. His United States of America employment authorisation card number LIN9804950277. Herewith attached and marked "Annexure 25" is a copy of the said card.

He concluded that errors on his INEC form were not deliberate, as he did not gain any advantage whatsoever by claiming 1954 or presenting bogus academic qualification since he already had the required minimum qualification.

When the Governor was asked why he did not respond to the allegations promptly, he said he felt they were all part of the campaign of calumny against him which began with the allegations that his administration was slow.

Asked about his view on the reactions of his aides to some of the allegations, he said that at a stage in the saga, the events took a life of its own with his aides issuing statements and papers on his behalf.

princeonx:
Na you this your answer go confuse not me.
Sorry if I sound rude but you sound like someone that have never seen the flag of USA before not to talk of living here or attending school in IL.
What'ahe££ is a residence with Social security number? Abi you said all that bcox it sound sweet in the mouth? You can either be a citizen, PR. Permanent residence, or international student! And everybody in any of this group is entitled to a social security number so don't make it sound like you have one special right or benefit that made your tuition $30+ and what's the big deal saying the year? Say the year and I'll verify your claims if not, then pls stop saying what you know nothing about.

So Jagaban is actually a community college alumni , no wonder he's so street.
Community colleges are like vocational training schools for dropouts and never do wells who couldn't finish High school and whose highest qualification is a GED. Nigerian Polytechnics are even better.
Doesn't change the fact he is an effective politician albeit a very corrupt one at that.

Yeah nothing as fascinating as 125th street. funny enough back then i didnt know anything about the black hebrew israelite movement. truth be told i only knew about that movement 3 years ago on youtube when watching zabach and ISUPK. i dont think they have black hebrew israelite groups in harlem though. they all hang around the forty something street. times square area

125th is definitely nice and you've got the apollo. The folks from Harlem are somewhat different from the other places in New York City, even in mannerism - you just gotta admire the place. Just as how Pecknizzy dons act differently from the rest of South London. Harlem is sick though.

Oi, those mofos were everywhere when I went there - standing in-front of bodegas. They also sell all kinds of paraphernalia as well. Those people are crazy! I saw them in Brixton one time and it seems they have moved that madness here.

sandraokosun1:
listen to urself, a man that usa senators, reps and political colosus and united states first citizens troop around to learn from. The bill gates and buffet of the usa what sch did they go to. Its reamains the problem of the backward africans who are enslaved to education. The originators who we borrow the culture frm treat achievements first before education. You would not be noticed if u attended all its schs and no achievement. Ask the rick ross, jayz how they are 1st class citizens in us. Today ask buruji why he dread us visa. Our own is celebrated, we shouldnt berate him

sukkot:
bros, they are everywhere now. liverpool, manchester, london. its a movement that is gaining ground all over the world. they are in holland, germany, jamaica, haiti. its a global movement. but yeah harlem is where its at. be a cool place to be now if you are paid so you can get one of those gentrified brownstones and be in luxury and yet in the heart of the urban jungle. luxury in the urban jungle

Lmao.

The black hebrew Israelite ministry is moving - shalom!! Yeshua!!

Are they gentrifying the whole place or parts of it? How about the Spanish bit? The yanks need to leave Harlem alone - that place is important to black history and a great place to visit, just to know where the mighty/legends walked. That's the black mecca and the renaissance place of black America.

Anyway, how come there aren't that many Nigerians there like you have in other parts of New York, especially Brooklyn?

sukkot:
its too far. nigerians like to be where the money is at. no money in harlem. the money is where the whites are at lol. you gotta stay closer to the money if you want to make it. but yeah you right, they need to leave harlem alone because the place is like a museum. it should have one of those ' you cant gentrify it because it is part of history ' stamp on it.

TonyeBarcanista:
He's very intelligent no doubt...

azzima:
see this didirin! Do you know how many ACCOMPLISHED personalities went to community colleges?The worst community college in America is much better than the best university in Nigeria.....FACT!!!. I also went to a community college then went on further as a Master degree holder now.Most people attended these colleges because it's a cheaper route to obtain your degree(less than 3k a year ( To help you further, here is a a pic of my former community college and please compare with Unilorin.

OnReflection:
Never mind that unexposed compound fool.
Look at him pouring scorn and ridicule on another man's intellectual prowess, while making the sort of crass assumptions you would expect from the product of a degree-mill Whatever happened to discussions backed by facts on NL?

The mind truly boggles, I tell you.

there are many illegal residents with no social security number. however there was a time when SSN ( card ) was issued to people who are not citizens but they stopped doing this. if you have this SSN, they cant tell if you are a US citizen or not. i was one of those fortunate to get that SSN ( card ) before they stopped giving it to non US citizens. so while i was not a US citizen, i was operating like a US citizen and getting the cheap school fees of a US citizen. hope that makes sense to you

Putting your answers together is kind of making sense now however, you need more than just SSN to enrol into college in the US but I'll just take your word for it since you won't tell me the year and this your story sound like something that happened before I was even born not to talk of moving to US
I've been here going two decades that was why I was shocked at the fee you said you paid in school while here but like I said, that must be donkeys of years ago. Cheers!
