juman:I laugh out loud. In those climes, this claim of shared love wouldn't hold. There is what you call information asymmetry which places the lady at a disadvantage. In treating the lady, what information did this guy come into possession of, that gives him leverage over her. That is what this is all about. Ethical conducts are not about 'what is' but 'what ought to be'. We have very poor ethical standards in Nigeria and it is important for folks to double check on what is acceptable when they travel abroad. |
Botragelad:Unfortunately, it seems like a weakness but it is compassion and it is one of the planks on which Christianity is founded. When Apostle Peter sliced off the ears of one of the people that were going to crucify Jesus, He (Jesus) rebuked Peter and fixed the ears. Do you think that Jesus lacked what it takes to decree death upon all the people that assaulted him even unto death? Why do you think He didn't wield His powers. |
BigYash:Unfortunately, if this was the way Jesus thought I am not sure many people will be alive today. Those you term as upcoming terrorists may actually give their lives to Christ and do exploits for His Kingdom. God use such vessels mightily. |
Stoplying:I am sorry, but we may need to discontinue this condition if you cannot say thematic without personalizing issues. To be clear about it, I do not represent Tinubu and I have no "cause" in this matte that can be inconvenienced. It is trite law that the power to proclaim a document as forged lies with the one who has authority to issue. Not any other person. At the very least, CSU has not agreed that it's certificate was forged. Hence, I suggest that Atiku should seek clarification in the U.S court. That seems to be his best bet because a thousand opinions will not influence the supreme court. What can help Atiku is a court pronouncing the document forged based on American practices. If that happens, Atiku can proceed to the Supreme court in Nigeria with the judgement. |
Stoplying:I have taken the liberty to quote you verbatim as I understand the content of your post. As correcting the inherent errors could make me liable to committing the act of forgery, I implore you to correct those typos yourself. Now, jokes apart this your post is your interpretation of the transcript and it doesn't represent the position of the registrar of CSU based on his deposition. If Tinubu, violated any rule in the U.S, it is very easy. Forgery is a big deal in the United States, it is easy for Atiku to file a suit in the American courts and to get the courts to pronounce Tinubu of forgery or otherwise. The determination of forgery of U.S documents or otherwise cannot be done by Nigerians on the social media. Atiku has relied on the independence of the American judiciary thus far, he can still stretch his luck a little bit more. Who knows! He might just strike gold, I date him to. |
Shattuck:Thanks for mentioning me. My analysis isn't based on any emotions of whether the dude attended the school or not. It is based on my interpretation of the facts of the matter which I will expatiate on. First, the authority to issue certificates to students lies with the institution (CSU) and if it is agreed that they authorize replacement certificates by 3rd parties, that is the end. It would have been a different case if it was a Nigerian institution because replacement certificates are issued by the school themselves. The replacement certificate that the dude parades is American and guided by the American rules and practice. Therefore if CSU says it isn't forged based on practice then nobody can pronounce it forged. This should be basic logic. In the case of his forfeiture, it was argued that the American law recognizes both civil and criminal forfeitures and that his was a civil forfeiture without conviction by American law. Once that was established the court upheld the argument and it was over. The same thing would play out here and that is it. |
Wujio:The validity of a document can only be established by the body who has the authority to issue it. Not any other person; something applies to the forgery of a signature. Which of the representatives of CSU has come out to say his or signature was forged? In the absence of such this is a wild goose chase that is not leading anywhere If Atiku's legal team truly believe the bunkum that they are spreading, let them sue Tinubu in in a U.S court for forgery of his certificate. A pronouncement by the U.S court that what Tinubu did is inconsistent with the practices in America and that it amounts to forgery, will help serve Atiku's cause. He has shown belief in the American judicial system, so I dare him to take it further. |
Dittodat:It is not just pathetic, it betrays our lack of capacity for logical and critical thinking. At least if you must unravel a mystery do it well and not by relying on falsehoods or propaganda. |
Racoon:I am sorry but you seem not to understand what you personally posted. For some of us that are fairly acquainted with the practices in the U.S, like Kperogi said there is nothing like forgery of certificate here once all the information on it are consistent with the school's record, you can get a replacement and it does not equate to a forgery. It is equally refreshing to read Kperogi logically address of Tinubu impersonating a lady. |
Tunde835:Honestly, I don't think Tinubu needs to use iron-fist against them. Tinubu just needs to leave them to help him campaign for his second term. I have seen a few people who didn't vote for Tinubu but now supports him having heard from the school that he attended and graduated brilliantly. |
Menclothing:You are very right. This case is lost especially when the school has declared that ex-students can get their replacement certificates from third parties as long as all the details on the certificate are consistent with the school's record. It is the school alone can say that it's document was forged and in this instance they have clearly stated that their certificate is not forged. The court will take their words above any other person's. The opposition, through Atiku that ought to have been united to contest against the ruling party broke up days to the elections and now Atiku is seeking collaboration with Obi and Kwankwanso. I find that call hilarious and stupid at the same time. |
Judgementa1:Brilliant question especially in the face of the institution's clarification that third parties issue replacement certificate in the United States. |
Creamypie:It takes maturity for people to move on even when their expectations aren't met. I know you do not like APC but you have demonstrated maturity by knowing when to move on when shown evidence. Human nature makes people to be sympathetic to others that they perceive as being vilified. By continuing this issue that has been clarified by CSU these fellas stand the risk of attracting more sympathetic followers to Tinubu! |
Beremx:Perhaps, there can be other allegations against this guy. The deposition at the court has proven that his certificate wasn't forged. It is good that he has been made to go through this scrutiny. Under oath, the CSU university authority stated that a student could get a replacement certificate from a third party. My concerns were: 1. Did this guy attend CSU? Facts suggest that he did 2. Did the guy falsify his results to look brilliant? Facts released by the authorities based on his transcripts showed that he excelled while in school. That is refreshing, at least I know that the guy isn't a dullard |
Angelfrost:Well I think perhaps that we aren't reflective enough as a people. Perhaps, less noise should have been made about this issue while we allow the courts to do justice. But even while in the U.S courts, where one could have some faith, people started talking all sorts of things on the social media forgetting one way or the other, this rubs off on us all. |
Angelfrost:I don't believe that the guy forged his certificate because the school (CSU) stated that the replacement certificate he presented is consistent with the replacement certificate for year 1997 which was the year he requested for his too. It wouldn't make sense for him to forge a certificate that he earned with his grade of passes. If it was a transcript, I would have been tempted to believe that he would alter that because of grades. As at 1997, Tinubu was still in the U.S and could easily apply for a replacement of his certificate. While, I do not know much about him being the Richard Daley student it is important to know that we are in a globalized world now and if Tinubu impersonated a female as being suggested by some, it wouldn't be for long before the said "girl's" mates would appear to say Tinubu wasn't their mate. Talking of which I do recall seeing that Tinubu's picture appeared somewhere on the school's documents. |
Goke7:I don't know about Tinubu o. But bros if I were in his shoes, I would not listen to any mutual friend who could not care enough to mediate when Atiku was doing his own! I am very sure that if someone else tries this shit with Atiku, he (Atiku) will go to the end of the world to exact his own revenge. |
flokii:Well, I have been observing this drama with my hot chocolate. That said, Tinubu would be a very magnanimous individual to let this slide without Atiku being extradited to U.S after this whole saga. |
GYBABA:Autopsy is different from coroner inquest. The autopsy that was done will be used to shed light medically on the likely cause of death at the inquest. The inquest is a judicial process while the autopsy is a medical process. Autopsy is carried out in the hospital while the inquest takes place in a court. That should explain the process to you. |
Jsucre:Aso to gbamuse l'Agoro fi n jaiye Bata asiko l'Agoro wo sese o Board member olola igbadun ni fun e🕺 |
israelmao:But I find the narrative that Tinubu rigged himself into power baseless, was he the INEC chairman? I can understand if you say that INEC didn't upload results electronically. |
drpat1:Let me answer on his behalf. South Korea produces finished products such as electronics, textiles, ships, automobiles, steel, and chemicals. As a result of these products and some others, they were adjudged to be the 5th largest exporter in the world for the year 2021. |
Foodempire:While you tag his thinking as being shallow, may I ask you, between learning to produce our own needs and reducing the exchange rate, which should be more important to us? And if you think being able to produce our goods locally isn't important, how then do you improve the exchange rate? |
SeriouslySense:@SeriouslySense, you make a lot of serious sense! |
doggedfighter:The advice should go both ways though. I have read here on countless occasions how people who have no inkling about individual's circumstances goad people on to japa and I have seen occasions where people advised others against "japaing". Nigerians have always travelled and will continue to do so. Individuals must be allowed to determine what suits them. There is no one-size-fits-all prescription. Even for those preaching Nigeria is a shit-hole and japa-if-you-can apostles, abroad is not meant for everyone. Some people will not blow abroad but they will back in Nigeria (eg Dbanj, Don Jazzy and others). On the other hand, some other people may find that the overseas environment is just what they need to succeed. Everytime I travel and I am on a flight back to Nigeria and I see foreigners coming to Naija to come and prospect for businesses, I keep wondering what they see that many Nigerians are unable to see. After all said, individuals should evaluate their own circumstances and do what is best for them. |
emorse:All monetary policies must be domesticated. Redenominating the Naira will lead to inflation. You may want to ask, how?. We have very poor price control mechanisms. If CBN redenominates #100 as #1, for instance, a landlord who used to collect #800000 rent per annum will now be collecting #8000. I tell you for free that, it will automatically lead to increases in house rents almost immediately. |
Kobicove:Seconded. Fake news is detrimental to the development of the country. |
SmartPolician:Honestly, one doesn't need to be his fan to appreciate that he is making some efforts at repositioning the economy. It just surprises me how we allowed things to deteriorate this bad. What happened to our textile industry with the likes of Specomill, Nigerian Textile Mills and the likes and all the employments generated by that particular industry, how did we lose Volkswagen Nigeria and Peugeot Automobile Nigeria (PAN)? The rain started beating us long before now! |
Revolution2022:Can you please identify 2 anti-people policies of this government. |
ednut1:It is just silly to push narratives that are not supported by facts. And it is more worrisome the calibre of people pushing such narratives. While there might be genuine complaints about not uploading the results electronically, it is however statistically difficult to see a path to Obi's victory without the Northwest, Northeast and Southwest. |
Flathead8:This is not a good one at all. Show empathy to the loved ones she left behind. |
AllBlack:In his little mind, he is mocking the south westerners! The only shameful thing is that after all these madness someone like him will come back to this forum to beg the same south westerners to support a candidate of his choice. There is evil in the land and it is all over the country because men have become lovers of themselves. Very little premium is placed on human lives! |
