The drama over the release or not of BAT's records with CSU continues to get curiouser & curiouser every day.

BAT's legal team had recently objected to the release of documents requested for, by Atiku's legal team, stating, amongst other reasons, that it was a fishing exercise & intrusion on BAT's privacy.

In addition, exposing such information would cause BAT serious harm.

The question I keep asking is that what harm is BAT seeking to avoid?

So I tried to rundown a list of possible issues...

1. Age?
Will the documents released show an age different from what BAT submitted to INEC? If so, it would mean BAT lied. If not, there is nothing to be concerned about.

2. Gender?
There is already issues surrounding that, but BAT has explained that the gender shown on the transcript from DALE was a mistake. Fact remains that transcripts are usually confidential documents & BAT might not have been privy to the 'error', so this can be explained. Unless there was actually another Bola A. Tinubu who was a female. If not, there is nothing much about that.

3. Studentship
CSU had agreed that BAT was thier student. So nothing to that. Except information will show that there was another BAT who is not 'this BAT'. This is highly unlikely. So BAT has nothing to fear here. It is not like he started but was expelled or didn't finish his students. CSU called him a 'graduate' of the institution. So what's to be concerned?

4. Grade Awarded
BAT has consistently claimed he graduated with a 1st class. Kudos to him. In fact, at every opportunity, he has boasted about that. So, if the CSU documents are going to confirm this, why bother? Is there going to be a contradiction of grade awarded to BAT? If not, it's no issue.

5. Undergraduate Awards & scholarships
BAT had also bragged about scholarships he received for being a brilliant undergraduate student & other awards received. These are things to be proud of. In fact, these are things people include in thier CVs. So, if BAT himself has come out to say he got all these awards/scholarship, why is he concerned? Even if it turns out he didn't get them, it will only cause a minor embarrassment & nothing more. He embellished his undergraduate days, so what? Nothing major.

6. Disciplinary Reports
This is where things might get tricky. Did BAT have serious disciplinary issues while a student of CSU? Serious issues that were bad, but didn't lead to his expulsion? Rape? Drugs? Gang membership? Arrests? What? These are certainly serious issues that would give more insight about BAT... but would it be enough to nullify his victory? Except for a case of conviction, I doubt. Yes, BAT would be embarrassed, but not like he cares & his supporters certainly don't mind rooting for persons of questionable characters, so they will simply increase their chants & hailing. After, if the heroin case didn't mean anything to them, neither will any other thing. So, again, nothing much, just a few days or months of abuse & Nigerians will move on.

7. Course Records
BAT had one or two carry overs? So? Even brilliant students have thier off days. So nothing here.

8. Issues Relating to Sponsors/Next of Kin
This is another interesting area. Who was BAT's sponsor, his next of kin, family info. etc. BAT had always said he worked hard to fund his education. But those who know Maami (Iya Mogaji) know she was a wealthy woman in her own right & sponsoring BAT would be no big deal. So, BAT saying he worked odd jobs seems to contradict his family background, but that is nothing because he might have just decided to work for extra funds. However, could there be information that would really throw light on BAT's family background? Would it give insight on who he is actually related to? Again, it would be revealing & might cause embarrassment for BAT if it turns out he had been feeding Nigerians lies, but again, it will only just be a minor inconvenience, expect that information would be a thread that would unravel the background of BAT.

9. Travel History/information
It would be interesting to know when BAT got into the US. Yes, he had at one time or the other made reference to it, but was that the truth? Would CSU documents show that he arrived US at some other time? Was it BAT that arrived US or someone else who later became BAT? Would the passport reveal another name? This leads us to number 10.

10. Name
Except BAT did a change of name, there is no issue here. But is it that someone at a point in time became BAT? Is there a record for a change of name? Now, this would certainly be an interesting one. But except ot leads to some damning revelations, it would only serve to reveal who the real BAT is. No crime in changing names. Besides, it will help Nigerians know more about the man, BAT.

11. Forged Certificate
So, this might be an issue & the only grounds upon which Atiku might realistically have a chance to upturn BAT's electoral victory. But what exactly would be ? considered 'forged' or 'fake' if BAT is confirmed to be a graduate of CSU with a 1st class? BAT has already blamed clerical error on the discrepancies in his certificate, so there is no need fighting to block whatever comes out of that & the Nigerian courts will not do much about it as long as the key information remains consistent. Name, school, qualification, grade, year of graduation, things CSU simply has to affirm or rectify.

So, except there is really nasty information contained in CSU's records, I don't see the reason for BAT's running from pillar to post to block records, much of which he has used his 'mouth' to reveal in public. I also don't get why his supporters are concerned & insult anyone who asks questions.

BAT's supporters should be proud that all BAT had said about himself is true. This would help restore some integrity to himself & make the job of defending him easier. And even if it turns out BAT is a fraud, his supporters don't care. They have no moral compass, so why are they concerned about what the records will reveal.

But if those records reveal that BAT has been lying on just about everything about himself, then he should face the consequences.

In the end, BAT should be more concerned about what the US government will chose to reveal about him rather than his academic records.

His major concern is the soul of his blind followers for ritual sacrifices

I like the game BAT is playing with the Obi and Atiku e-diots. Fact is that no matter what BAT or CSU does or releases, his haters in both camps of sore losers would never be satisfied; they will keep asking for one thing or another. So they're free to continue sending themselves on a fool's errand for the next 8-yrs, after-all their lawyers must also chop. Asiwaju don give them assignment to keep them occupied for the next 8-yrs.

Especially that perpetual loser called Atiku, the accursed fool destined to remain a loser for the remainder of his political career. He's jealous that PBAT so easily attained the position that has eluded his sorry a$$ for the past 30-yrs of his miserable political career.

Why you mention Obi? Wetin concern Obi for Atiku litigation?

What is the essence of the 'game' being played by BAT?

Why play a game when he should be focused on addressing the mess that his party has put nigeria in?

If all he has ever told Nigerians is the truth, why is he playing a game to suppress the 'truth'?

Have you heard PBAT make any comment about any wild goose chase you guys are preoccupied with? Baba is busy selling Nigeria to investors and delivering renewed hope to the millions of Nigerians that voted him into office. His lawyers are more than capable of keeping Atiku, Obi and you lazy Obi-ediots busy for the next 8-yrs. Una go explain tire.

he is a packaged fraud

So are his lawyers working without instructions from him?

Why are you, his morally deficient minions, having palpitations about the matter?

The late Fawehinmi had already exposed the fraud & liar that is BAT.

For years, minions such as yourself had been defending 'unsubstantiated' claims, rumours & lies against the person of BAT & even told his opponents to go to court.

Now that his opponent has taken up the challenge of going to court, shouldn't you, BAT's errand miscreant, be glad that you wouldn't have to do the tough task of whitewashing an integrity deficient character since ALL your previous defences will be proven?

Why are you & the former heroin bagman scared of proving what you already claim?

What is BAT hiding? What are you crying about?

You go explain tire. You people aren't after any truth or facts but rather driven by pre-election hatred for PBAT, therefore nothing short of him resigning or somehow ceasing from being president would satisfy you. But guess what? Dead that thought coz you are sitting on a longggggg thing. PBAT will be your president for atleast the next 4-yrs and most likely an additional 4-yrs. So your lazy a$$ best get ready to wail for a longgggggg time.

Lol.

So, that millions of Nigerians do not want BAT to be president is sufficient grounds for persons like you to support a liar, conman & heroin bagman? Interesting...

Anyway, bastists are not necessarily known for thier morals or reasoning powers, so...

Why are you so interested in Tinubu's transcripts?
And while at it, please explain why should he bow to a mob baying for blood - when our nation's recent history shows that one can ever satiate that lot? If in doubt ask Buhari of the "NEPA certificate" and "Cloned Jubril" fame.

Do you not find it strange that it is a man of dubious origins himself (Atiku), whose meteoric rise is mired in corruption, that is now leading the charge to unravel mysteries of the past?

What is it with the intellectual abilities of some Nigerian youth, who think they can adjudge a man's trials and travails simply by pluging badly formed strings into a search engine?
Would Google tell you precisely why clerical errors made in a foreign land in the '70s have not been amended, or do you need to engage your own critical thinking abilities?

Rightly or wrongly, the man fought to help institute democracy in Nigeria, served as a senator, then a state Governor twice; and the best you can do is to saturate internet caches with feeble and puerile arguments concerning a college enrolment process. You all need to see a shrink

Reno Omokri is right - you are distracted, you are deluded, and you are definitely desperate.

Reno Omokri is right - you are distracted, you are deluded, and you are definitely desperate.

You have 'said' so much, without saying anything logical.

If BAT has issues with Atiku's origins, he can challenge them. These things help build our democracy & will in the long run dissuade persons of dubious character from aspiring for political offices.

I guess the late Gani that pointed out the dubious nature of your heroin bagman also needs to see a shrink. I shudder how you, with supposed intellectual abilities, will catch someone in a lie, but still be shameless enough to defend that lie.

Have you not seen professors & government officials who have worked for years get fired because of questions arising from thier elementary academic qualifications?

Why do some of you think a heroin bagman & liar should not be questioned? Are you that morally deficient or you just chose to be a nuisance because of some crumbs thrown to you crawling under the table of corruption?

Reno is fully entitled to his opinions, as do others who wonder why a man with questionable antecedents should preside over a nation of over 200m people.

You may wish to sacrifice the little critical thinking abilities you posses, let those who wish to know who their president is continue to ask questions. After all, is it your cry or headache?

An unsuitable president is a problem to all tribes. So supporting nonsense because of tribe is a sign of mental health crisis
