PoliticsBreaking: ‘Unveil Your True Identity’ - Obi Challenges Tinubu On Name, Schools, by stewiepeter(op): 11:23am On Oct 11, 2023
Unveil Your True Identity’ - Obi Challenges Tinubu on Name, Schools, Age’

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Mr Peter Obi has demanded that President Bola Tinubu comes clean on his true identity.

Obi made the demand on Wednesday during a press conference in Abuja.

The former Anambra State governor urged Tinubu to reintroduce himself to the nation he governs, and to the world for avoidance of further doubt.

According to Obi, it’s only Tinubu himself through a direct personal statement that could clear every speculations about his true identity.

Obi said, “He should introduce himself to the nation he governs, and to the world for avoidance of further doubt.

“He should let the world know his name, his nationality, his place of birth, his current age, the primary and secondary schools he attended with dates, as well as the actual universities he attended and certificates he obtained.

“He should indicate clearly when and where he did his national youth service. In addition, if he had a change of name, he should state so clearly the time and circumstances.

“This is a simple task that will only take a few minutes. It requires no affidavit, prolonged talk process, spokespersons, agents or surrogates.

“The task is only Chief Bola Tinubu himself through a direct personal statement can perform. He must perform this task urgently. He has to lay to rest many lingering doubts and speculations about his true identity.”

PoliticsPetrol Stations Shutting Down, Marketers Warn by stewiepeter(op): 10:09am On Oct 11, 2023
Petroleum products marketers have warned that retail outlets are shutting down operations due to increasing cost of running the business.

Speaking during the National Executive Council meeting of the Natural Oil and Gas Suppliers Association of Nigeria, NOGASA, in Abuja, the marketers faulted the process followed by President Bola Tinubu in the removal of subsidies on petrol, saying measures that ought to have been in place before the removal were not taken.

The marketers insisted that the nation’s refineries ought to have been operational and issues around foreign exchange resolved before the petrol subsidy was removed.

The marketers questioned the Federal Government’s inability to end the illicit trading of dollars in the country.

Speaking at the meeting, NOGASA President, Mr. Benneth Korie, warned that the downstream in the country was under serious pressure as stations were shutting down due to harsh operational conditions.

He stated: “Depot owners are so terribly affected by the increasing cost of the crude and exchange rate to the extent that many depots are practically deserted as their owners are unable to secure bank loans to fund their business due to high interest rates.

“Banks are not willing to guarantee funds release to stakeholders as a result of the difficulty, instability and galloping foreign exchange rate. Many depots are presently dried up or out of stock.

Worst hit are filling stations whose owners find it extremely difficult to secure funds to procure products for their retail outlets and both the independent and major marketers are so terribly affected that as at today, filling stations are shutting down in great numbers on a daily basis and dealers are going out of business with many more on the verge of bankruptcy because of their inability to secure funds to facilitate orders for their stations”.

PoliticsRe: Let’s Look At The Positives Of Tinubus Tenure On Our Lives So Far by stewiepeter: 9:08am On Oct 10, 2023
1. As for the light situation, that’s how it is during raining season because Nigeria produces electricity from hydro power. More water now to spin the turbines. There hasn’t been any significant gain in the power sector, the only news that was reported was that Nigeria now produces 14,000 Mega Watts of electricity. A fact check on this showed it was not true.

2. The minister of interior is trying that one I definitely give it to you.

3. On this point I begin to wonder if you’re a good person. In a home a father can starve his kids and say oh I’ve reduced noice pollution in the house by starving my kids, can that be seen as a gain? In developed countries they pride themselves by providing substitutes to fossil fuels and provide incentives for people to leave using fossil fuels. That is what we call leadership.

The Iron Dome: Israel’s High-Tech Shield in the Sky

In a world where technology continually reshapes the contours of conflict, Israel’s Iron Dome stands out as a game-changer. This advanced missile defense system has not only redefined modern warfare but also become emblematic of the nation’s pursuit of security amidst adversity. But what exactly is the Iron Dome, and how does it achieve its near-miraculous feats in missile interception?


Initiated in 2007 and declared operational in 2011, the Iron Dome was developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems in response to the short-range rocket threat from neighboring territories. While its name evokes images of an impenetrable shield, the system’s primary strength lies in its combination of radar tracking and high-speed missile interception.


How It Works


1. Detection & Tracking: At the heart of the Iron Dome is its radar system, designed by Elta, which can immediately detect launches of rockets and mortar shells. Once a launch is detected, the system calculates the trajectory and predicts the impact point of the incoming missile.


2. Decision Time: Not every rocket launched poses a direct threat to populated areas or critical infrastructure. The genius of the Iron Dome lies in its discernment. Within seconds, it can determine whether the incoming rocket will hit a populated area or an open field. If the system predicts the latter, it will opt not to engage, conserving its resources.


3. Interception: If a threat is identified, the system immediately launches an interceptor missile. These missiles, named Tamir, have specialized warheads that detonate in proximity to the incoming rocket, destroying it in the sky before it reaches its target.


4. Integration with Civilian Alerts: Linked to Israel’s civilian alert system, the Iron Dome can provide almost instantaneous warnings to populations in threatened areas, allowing them precious seconds to take cover.


5. Adaptable for Naval Use: An adapted version, called the “C-Dome”, has been created for naval use, providing protection for naval vessels against missile threats.

Successes and Challenges

The Iron Dome boasts an impressive success rate, with Israel claiming it has intercepted about 90% of its targeted threats since its deployment. This high efficacy has undoubtedly saved lives and reduced the potential damage during periods of intense conflict.

However, the system isn’t without its challenges. The cost per interceptor is high, and a saturation of rockets can strain the system’s capabilities. Additionally, it’s specifically designed for short-range threats, so Israel relies on other systems, like the Arrow and David’s Sling, for longer-range missile threats.

Conclusion

The Iron Dome is more than just a marvel of military technology; it’s a testament to human ingenuity in the face of adversity. As defense systems continue to evolve, the Iron Dome will undoubtedly serve as a benchmark for nations looking to shield their skies and safeguard their citizens in an age of modern warfare.

Foreign AffairsIsrael Confirms Americans Are Among Hamas Captives - AP by stewiepeter(op): 5:41pm On Oct 08, 2023
Israel’s minister for strategic affairs, Ron Dermer, said American citizens are among those who were taken captive but gave no details about them, nor about Americans who might have been killed.

“Unfortunately I can’t. We have a lot of dual citizens in Israel. I suspect there are several, but we’re still trying to sort through all of all this information after this horrific surprise attack and we’ll make sure to put that information out so that the loved ones of these people who were killed and who are held hostage, they know as quickly as possible,” Dermer told CNN’s ‘’State of the Union.’’

S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the U.S. is looking at additional requests for assistance that the Israelis have made, and there could be developments on that front later Sunday.

He told CNNS President Joe Biden’s “direction was to make sure that we’re providing Israel everything it needs in this moment to deal with the attacks from Hamas.’’

Blinken, who gave interviews to multiple U.S. television news shows Sunday, also talked about how the Hamas attack could have been motivated in part to derailed an emerging diplomatic deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia.

“It’s no surprise that those who are opposed to the talks, those who are opposed to Israel normalizing relations with its neighbors and the countries beyond the region are Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran. And so it’s entirely possible that one of the motivations for this attack was to try to derail these efforts to advance normalization,” Blinken said.

He said Washington had seen reports that Americans were missing or had been killed and “we’re working overtime to verify that.”

Foreign AffairsIsraeli Death Toll Stands At 600, Israeli PM Declares War On Hamas - AP by stewiepeter(op): 2:49pm On Oct 08, 2023
The death toll in Israel following a surprise attack by the militant group Hamas stands at 600, according to several Israeli media outlets.

The Kan public broadcaster and Channel 12, as well as the Haaretz and Times of Israel newspapers, reported the toll Sunday.

There has been no official confirmation of the number of deaths on the Israeli side since the fighting erupted early Saturday.

Palestinian officials say more than 300 people have been killed in Gaza, without differentiating between fighters and civilians.

Hamas gunmen used explosives to break through the border fence enclosing Gaza on Saturday, then crossed with motorcycles, pickup trucks, paragliders and speed boats on the coast.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office says his Security Cabinet has declared the country at war following a deadly Hamas assault in southern Israel.

The decision, announced on Sunday, formally authorizes “the taking of significant military steps,” it said it a statement.

“The war that was forced on the State of Israel in a murderous terrorist assault from the Gaza Strip began at 06:00 yesterday,” it said.

It gave no further details. But Netanyahu had previous declared the country at war, and the military has promised a harsh response in Gaza.

Israeli media say at least 600 people have been killed in the surprise cross-border incursion by Hamas militants from the Gaza Strip.

EducationHave You Ever Wondered How And Why A Chameleon Changes It’s Skin Color? by stewiepeter(op): 7:23pm On Oct 07, 2023
A chameleon is a lizard in the reptile family known for its unique eyes that move independently and its ability to change skin color for communication and camouflage.

A chameleon has special skin cells filled with colored pigments. When the chameleon wants to change color, it moves these pigments around. Think of it like squeezing a water balloon: the color concentrates where the balloon is squeezed and spreads out where it’s not. By controlling these squeezes and spreads in different cells, the chameleon can show different colors or patterns on its skin. They do this to blend in, communicate with other chameleons, or regulate their body temperature.

1. Pigment Movement: Inside the chromatophores, there are tiny “bags” filled with color. When a chameleon decides to change color, it sends signals to these bags. The bags can then spread out (making the color more visible) or bunch up (making the color less visible).


2. Different Colors, Different Layers: Imagine the chameleon’s skin like a multi-layered painting. The top layer might have yellow, the next layer might have blue, and beneath them, there might be a layer with brown or black. By deciding which layer to “show off” and how much, the chameleon can mix and match to create various colors.


3. Why Change?:
• Camouflage: The most famous reason. They can match their surroundings to hide from predators or while hunting.
• Mood Ring: Like a mood ring, chameleons can show how they feel. If they’re upset, they might turn dark. If they’re trying to attract a mate, they might show bright patterns.
• Warm Up or Cool Down: Dark colors absorb more sunlight and warmth. So, on a chilly day, they might turn darker to warm up faster.


4. Special Reflections: Apart from the colored bags, chameleons have cells with tiny crystals. These crystals can reflect light in special ways. Depending on how these crystals are arranged, they can make the chameleon look blue or even shiny white.

In essence, by controlling the spread of pigments in these special skin cells and reflecting light in unique ways, chameleons master the art of color change.

PoliticsTeleportation Of Matter!! My Vision Based On Electricity by stewiepeter(op): 2:24pm On Oct 07, 2023
Have you ever watched a movie where someone vanishes in one place and appears in another? That’s called “teleportation.” Let’s talk about it!

What is Teleportation?

Teleportation is like magic moving. Instead of taking a long time to go from one place to another, things just “jump” instantly. It’s like sending a toy from your home to your friend’s house in a second!

Does It Really Exist?

Today, teleportation is mostly a fun idea in movies and books. Scientists are trying to understand it, but they’ve only managed to do tiny experiments with super small things, not people.

The transfer of electricity is a marvel of modern engineering, a phenomenon where energy flows through conductive channels, providing power to our homes, cities, and devices. But imagine if, instead of electrons, we could transfer actual matter in a similar streamlined way. This article delves into this fascinating concept, exploring the idea of transferring matter inspired by the principles of electrical transmission.

1. The Concept

Electricity’s flow, at its core, involves the movement of electrons through a medium, usually metal wires. If we were to envision transferring matter like electricity, we’d be considering systems where solids, liquids, or gases could be moved without traditional conveyance, perhaps even at the molecular or atomic level.

2. Existing Analogies: Liquids and Gases

In some ways, we already transfer matter like we do electricity. Pipelines move gas and liquid across continents, much like electrical grids transfer energy. But while the transfer mechanism is physical (the pipeline itself), the matter inside – the gas or liquid – flows continuously, reminiscent of an electric current.

3. The Challenge: Solids

Transferring solids is where the real challenge lies. Conveyer belts and shipping routes do the job on a macro level, but what if we could break down materials and send them as easily as sending a current through a wire? Imagine disassembling an object at the atomic level, transmitting its constituents, and reassembling it at the destination.

4. Teleportation: Science Fiction or Future Possibility?

Science fiction has long been enamored with the idea of teleportation, where matter is instantaneously transferred from one location to another. While we’re far from this reality, advancements in quantum physics, especially quantum entanglement, spark curiosity. Could we one day manipulate matter in ways previously deemed impossible?

5. Benefits of Matter Transfer Systems

If we could transfer matter as efficiently as electricity:

• Resource Distribution: Essential resources like food, medicine, or raw materials could be sent instantly to areas in need.
• Waste Management: Instead of accumulating waste, it could be transmitted to specialized processing centers or even off-planet.
• Manufacturing: Assembly lines could receive materials on-demand, revolutionizing production rates and efficiency.

6. Ethical and Safety Implications

Like any groundbreaking technology, matter transfer would come with its set of challenges. Ensuring the integrity of transferred materials, potential misuse, and ecological implications would be just a few of the many concerns to address.

Are There Any Problems?

Yes, there are worries. First, we don’t know how to teleport big things safely. And, if teleportation became real, we’d have to make sure it’s used in good ways, not bad ones.

To Sum It Up:

Teleportation is a cool idea where stuff moves very quickly from one spot to another. Right now, it’s just a dream, but maybe in the future, who knows? It might become real!

2. Send important things, like medicine, to people quickly.
3. Avoid traffic and crowded places.

Are There Any Problems?

Yes, there are worries. First, we don’t know how to teleport big things safely. And, if teleportation became real, we’d have to make sure it’s used in good ways, not bad ones.

PoliticsCSU Says Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu Presented A Forged Cert-people Gazette by stewiepeter(op): 10:29am On Oct 04, 2023
President Bola Tinubu presented a forged degree certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) when he filed his paperwork to lead Nigeria in June 2022, Peoples Gazette can report based on the testimony of the institution he arrogated, introducing a new but potentially fatal front in the ongoing battle to oust the Nigerian leader for his documented misdeeds from years gone by.

The official repudiation of Mr Tinubu’s certificate — the only academic qualification he presented to the electoral office — came at a deposition of school officials on Tuesday in Chicago. An expanded transcript of the session is still being processed, but The Gazette has learnt about what has perhaps been the most crucial expectation of Nigerians: How the school would characterise Mr Tinubu’s certificate under oath and penalty of perjury.

Caleb Westberg, the registrar at Chicago State University, said Mr Tinubu’s certificate, dated June 22, 1979, and tendered to INEC on June 17, 2022, was not issued by the school and its administrators could, therefore, not be able to authenticate its source, The Gazette learnt.

Mr Westberg, CSU’s registrar since November 2020, also said, during the deposition that lasted about 5.5 hours, that Mr Tinubu did not apply for a replacement certificate, nor was he ever issued one.

The categorical statement capped a successful outcome for the monthslong legal strategy of Atiku Abubakar, Mr Tinubu’s main opponent, who approached the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in Chicago to ascertain the authenticity or otherwise of the document. Federal district judge Nancy Maldonado granted a final order for CSU administrators to turn over all documents relating to Mr Tinubu to the school and also sit down for deposition by an adversarial team of lawyers deployed by Mr Abubakar.

Mr Tinubu, sensing the intractable consequences of the proceeding, vigorously fought to thwart its successful outcome, with his lawyers warning the judge in a September 21 hearing that releasing the documents with deposition would inevitably inflict severe, irreparable harm against the Nigerian president.

The school had long insisted that Mr Tinubu was its student, entering in 1977 and graduating in 1979, but its inability to authenticate the certificate the Nigerian president submitted would ripple through Nigeria’s over 200 million population for the foreseeable future.

Previously in 1999, Mr Tinubu had lied under oath when he ran for governor of Lagos, claiming he obtained a degree from the prestigious University of Chicago. However, he managed to escape being held accountable for the breach because he had been elected before it was discovered, and he did not submit a certificate backing his claim, only an affidavit that was later found to be fiction, and the Nigerian Supreme Court said he could not be charged with crimes as a serving governor. He subsequently stopped claiming attendance at the University of Chicago, holding on instead to a claim that he attended Chicago State University, one of Illinois State University campuses traditionally popular among black people.

A spokesman for the president was not immediately available for reaction to the development on Tuesday night. But the president’s allies have suggested publicly that the evidence was inconsequential and propagated the Supreme Court’s readiness to throw it out.

The president’s allies are also banking on the muddled circumstances of the president’s certificate spiel, believing his Nigerian lawyers would be able to convince the Supreme Court to focus more on the school’s position that Mr Tinubu was a student rather than how he came about parading a forged certificate.

On Monday evening, shortly after the school dumped records into the electronic filing portal used by lawyers to all parties, Mr Tinubu’s team circulated a misrepresented account of the documents, successfully misleading some media outlets to run a claim that the school had authenticated Mr Tinubu’s certificate.

They also said a replacement was issued to Mr Tinubu on June 27, 1997, in what seemed to be a reference to the certificate the school had submitted following a 2022 subpoena obtained from a state court by Nigerian lawyer Mike Enahoro-Ebah.

Mr Enahoro-Ebah received the certificate, dated June 27, 1979, alongside all academic records of Mr Tinubu from CSU in August 2022. But the certificate was signed by Elnora Daniel and Niva Lubin, who were not at the school in 1979 and carried June 27, 1979, as its issuance date.

After comparing the certificate he was given by CSU to the certificate Mr Tinubu submitted to INEC, dated June 22, 1979, Mr Enahoro-Ebah promptly returned to Nigeria with the records and filed a criminal complaint against Mr Tinubu for forgery. But the case was stalled in an Abuja court for months before the election and has not been heard even months after the election.

Mr Atiku used the conflicting records to approach the federal court in Chicago for a subpoena as part of his ongoing case against Mr Tinubu in Nigeria, culminating in Tuesday’s deposition that established Mr Tinubu forged his certificate in violation of the Constitution.

Mr Tinubu was narrowly declared the winner of the February 25 presidential election, and he was only sworn in on May 29. But today’s development could all but mark a putative end to his presidency due to the constitutional proscription against the submission of a fake certificate to the electoral office.

Section 137 (1)(j) of the Nigerian Constitution (amended in 2010) specifically stated that no one would be legitimately elected president of Nigeria if the person “has presented a forged certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission.”

The records obtained from the school, the deposition and other material collected through the U.S. legal system are now being prepared for onward submission to the Nigeria Supreme Court, where a final decision on the presidential election challenge would be made on or before December 6, 2023.

While the evidence may appear overwhelming to a plurality of Nigerians, its acceptance would still need to cross a formidable hurdle at the Supreme Court. This is because the court has conventionally rejected the introduction of new material at the top court level that was not previously argued during the initial trial.

Mr Abubakar himself admitted before two U.S. judges who heard his discovery application that it would be a daunting challenge to convince the Supreme Court to accept the files, yet not entirely improbable.

Mr Abubakar lost at the Court of Appeal, the initial court for presidential election disputes, when a panel of five judges on September 6 said his petition was too weak to overturn Mr Tinubu’s election.

Mr Tinubu’s lawyers, in the U.S., argued against granting Mr Abubakar’s application to extract their client’s records over an admissibility challenge. But Ms Maldonado, nonetheless, said in her September 30 judgement that the records should be released, and any questions about usefulness would be answered by the Nigerian Supreme Court.

Mr Abubakar filed the application to obtain Mr Tinubu’s CSU records and depose its officials on August 2, 2023, coming under Section 1782, the statute that allows the U.S. to turn over records “for use in a proceeding before a foreign tribunal.”

BusinessDo You Think Nairaland Should Pay Bloggers Like Instagram And Youtube? by stewiepeter(op): 6:49pm On Oct 03, 2023
[b][/b]The Untapped Potential of Paying Bloggers on Nairaland

Hello Nairalanders,

Nairaland has been a beacon of quality discussions and content for years. But to ensure its continuous growth and maintain our edge, I propose a paradigm shift: introducing monetary rewards for our dedicated bloggers. Here’s a deeper dive into why this can be transformative:

1. Tiered Earnings System:
• Front Page Recognition: Bloggers whose content shines bright enough to land on the front page deserve more than just recognition; they deserve additional compensation. This would act as an incentive for bloggers to produce top-tier content that resonates with our community.
• Rewards for Consistency: Our regular contributors, the backbone of Nairaland’s content, should enjoy increased earnings for their unwavering commitment. This approach not only rewards dedication but also ensures that bloggers stay motivated to share consistently.
2. Attracting Quality Content:
• Financial incentives can lure skilled writers who might be contributing to other platforms. These talents can bring fresh perspectives and high-quality research, setting a new benchmark for Nairaland content.
• When bloggers know their effort equates to monetary gain, they are more likely to invest time in creating well-researched, value-driven posts, thereby enhancing our platform’s reputation.
3. Increased Traffic:
• Superior content naturally draws a larger audience. As Nairaland becomes known for hosting well-curated posts, we can anticipate a surge in daily visitors.
• Higher traffic volumes open doors to more advertising opportunities and potential collaborations, thereby creating revenue streams that can easily offset the investment in our bloggers.
4. Encouraging Consistency:
• Monetary incentives create motivation. When bloggers see a direct correlation between their consistent contributions and their earnings, they’re more likely to post regularly.
• Regular content updates mean our community always has something new to engage with, fostering loyalty and ensuring members keep returning.
5. Boosting Credibility:
• Platforms that financially back their contributors stand out as more professional and credible in the digital landscape.
• By compensating writers, Nairaland can position itself as a pioneering and top-tier blogging platform in Africa.
6. Enhancing Community Engagement:
• With an increase in high-quality posts, members are more likely to engage in deep and meaningful discussions.
• This enhanced interaction can lead to a rise in member registrations, fortifying our Nairaland community’s vibrancy and diversity.

To conclude, introducing a structured compensation system for bloggers is more than just a reward mechanism; it’s an investment. An investment in quality, community, and the bright future of Nairaland.
PoliticsBreaking: NLC Suspends Strike For 30 Days- Vanguard by stewiepeter(op): 11:45pm On Oct 02, 2023
After about five hours of horse trading between the organised labour and the federal government team on the proposed indefinite strike slated to commence October 3, labour has suspended the strike for 30 days.

Before the agreement was reached, the organised labour had threatened to pull out of the meeting following the government insistence that the N35, 000 Provisional salary increment would only last for six months.

The labour had accused the government team of reneging on what was agreed on Sunday night to the effect that the N35, 000 Provisional salary increment which is across board, would be paid till when new minimum wage would be negotiated and implemented from next year.

But reading the Memorandum of Understanding, MoU, at the end of the meeting which ended about 11pm, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Simon Lalong, said the Organised labour has suspended the planned indefinite strike for 30 days.

The MoU also mandated the Minister of Labour to look into the withheld salaries of university staff.

PoliticsEFCC Secures Arrest Warrant For Diezani Madueke As Extradition Proceedings Begin by stewiepeter(op): 9:19pm On Oct 02, 2023
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has secured an arrest warrant for former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke.

The EFCC Acting spokesman, Dele Oyewale, confirmed the development to newsmen on Monday.
Meanwhile, the anti-graft agency has also initiated extradition proceedings to bring the former minister back to Nigeria.

Recall that Alison-Madueke was arraigned today at the Westminster Magistrates Court in London, the United Kingdom, following alleged bribery allegations.

The charges preferred against her at the London court are different from the 13-count charge bordering on money laundering the EFCC had levelled against her.

The EFCC further stated, “It is instructive to note that criminality is criminality, irrespective of jurisdictional differences. No crime can go unpunished.

“The money laundering charges for which Madueke is answerable to the EFCC cover jurisdictions in Dubai, the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Nigeria.

“To bring the former minister to trial in Nigeria, an arrest warrant has been obtained, and extradition proceedings have been initiated.


“The commission is on course on her trial. She will soon have her day in our courts,” he added.

London court

Today, at the Westminster Magistrates Court, the district judge, Michael Snow, granted Alison-Madueke a £70,000 bail.

Furthermore, Snow imposed other terms on Alison-Madueke, including an 11p.m. to 6a.m. curfew, an electronic tag to be worn by her at all times and a £70,000 surety to be paid before she could leave the court building.

According to Reuters, she did not formally enter a plea. But her attorney, Mark Bowen, told the court that she would plead not guilty.

Her next court appearance is at Southwark Crown Court on October 30.

So anyone that supports Peter Obi is Igbo and anyone that supports Tinubu is Yoruba? No, we still have other sectors of Nigeria that supports either of the two and are not from the East or West
PoliticsThe American Deep State Can Still Influence Tinubu's Records by stewiepeter(op): 7:07pm On Oct 02, 2023
[b][/b]THE AMERICAN DEEP STATE CAN STILL INFLUENCE TINUBU'S RECORDS.

The word on the street suggests that Tinubu's legal team in the US made unsuccessful attempts in three Appeal courts today to delay the release of Tinubu's academic records. Subsequently, they approached Atiku's lawyers in Chicago, requesting a shift in the deposition time from 10 am to 12 noon in an effort to buy more time.

However, Atiku's legal team declined this request.

Tinubu's desperation indicates that there may be substantial revelations at stake. Nevertheless, I have some concerns that I've previously shared on this platform.

I've maintained that Tinubu is a Western puppet or, put differently, a Western asset, a view supported by individuals like @DavidHundeyin.

The question now is how far Western powers will go to keep Tinubu in office.

While everyone eagerly awaits the release of this document, it's important to acknowledge that unforeseen developments can still occur. It's worth noting that if the US desires to prevent the disclosure of damaging information about one of its overseas assets, it possesses the capability to do so. The US could choose to release heavily redacted information, safeguard some detrimental details under the National Security Act, or selectively manipulate information to support Tinubu's position. The possibilities are wide-ranging.

We lack insight into the ongoing negotiations between Tinubu's administration and the Department of State. Given the evidence of Tinubu's desperation to delay the release of his records, it's conceivable that he may be open to striking deals with the deep state at any cost.

While we eagerly anticipate the release, we must remain aware that unexpected developments may transpire, and the situation could take various turns.

Deducing from the long epistle, I will guess you’re a process engineer.
Oga, there’s no need to take it to heart. We are all catching cruise here, so please relax your mind.
JagabanB:
LOL.
I didn't study English in school, I am not submitting an official document, so I care little about punctuations actually.
I can assure u 100% that if we sit in an English examination, I will beat u with a wide margin.
I don't pride myself in the language of foreigners.
I only punctuate in writings like this to make sure I don't deliver the wrong message not to prove to you that I got a first class.
A degree well earned from years back when many of u here were still toddlers, further degrees have been acquired beside it.
I still write shorthand alot, I only crosscheck my writings in official papers not on the internet comrade.
Get over that line, it's wack.
If I read law maybe u could say that because lawyers write alot of English, I don't write alot of English, I do more of mathematical work, developing a process, making analyses for the feasibility of processes, developing manuals for an already existing process, chipping in with analyses of basic structures, plant design, designs for unit operations, analyses of the feasibility of a desired process in a unit operation, these are part of things I do.
They don't require writing proper English, they require critical thinking and results not English and punctuations.
The more I interact online, the more I realize the we have so many illiterates in the country.
If u have a degree and u think the measure of intelligence is by a English writing, then u should enroll for a degree afresh.
I didn't pass through my degree program learning English Language.

I think your first class is in Islamic Studies or Arabic Language.
A first class student will not write without punctuations.
Are you sure you didn’t buy the result?
JagabanB:
I got a first class degree from Ahmadu Bello University Zaria in Nigeria here.
If I am on the ballot in future elections and then u decide to go the school to verify, I will use everything within my power to block ur moves, that's a statement of fact.
Those of u who complain and tear results from the wall because the department posted ur name with it are saying academic results should be given to an opponent after the election.
If this was before the election, Tinubu himself wouldn't go to this length because it will affect his votes.
Records, matters so much to westerners and the records of leaders all over the world is their strength and weaknesses, where did the idea of confidentiality come from?
It came from ur village or the west?
Academic record can tell alot of things about u that are not academic.
It's easy to understand but I don't expect people who didn't attend a school to understand.

If only what he wrote is true then something is definitely wrong with Tinubu’s record.
Either he forged the documents or there’s something so bad that he is hiding. I don’t know why he is hell bent on hiding it.
