Tinubu and the Balablu of errors - Phrank Shaibu.

English humorist, satirist, and author Terry Pratchett, once said “If you do not know where you come from, then you don’t know where you are, and if you don’t know where you are, then you don’t know where you’re going. And if you don’t know where you’re going, you’re probably going wrong.”

Origins are important because they give a sense as to where you may end up. But it is quite surprising that a nation of over 200 million people which prides itself as the Giant of Africa is being piloted by a man who has no known origin and continues to fight to ensure that it remains hidden.

Nigeria’s first leader was the late Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, who was born in December 1912 in modern-day Bauchi State at a time when data storage was rare. Despite the shortcomings of the time, Tafawa Balewa has a traceable history.

Balewa’s father was Yakubu Dan Zala and was of the Gere ethnicity. Balewa’s mother was Fatima Inna, who was of Gere and Fulani descent. His father worked in the house of the District Head of Lere, a district within the Bauchi Emirate.

Young Balewa was among the children sent to Tafawa Balewa Elementary School, after the Qur’anic school. Thereafter, he proceeded to Bauchi Provincial School. Like many of his contemporaries of that era, he studied at Katsina College, where he was student number 145. Ahmadu Rabah, later known as Ahmadu Bello, was student number 87 and was two years his senior.

President Shehu Shagari was born on 25 February 1925 to the family of Aliyu and Mairamu Shagari. He attended Yabo Elementary School and then Sokoto Middle School and Kaduna College before graduating from Teachers’ Training College, Zaria. In his book, ‘Beckoned to Serve’, Shagari lists the names of his classmates, teachers, and even the palace servant who took him to school.

However, Bola Tinubu, a man who claims to have been born in 1952, cannot satisfactorily prove his ancestry. Not only is the identity of Tinubu’s father and mother unknown, but he neither has classmates nor siblings. Ahead of the presidential election, he passed off a photo of former Governor Donald Duke as his own. Clearly, there ought to be limits to fraud.

In his form CF001, which was submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), he skipped details about his primary and secondary school and only stated that he attended Chicago State University in America. Curiously, this contradicts the same form he had filed in 1999 when he ran as governor of Lagos State. In that form, which the late human rights activist Gani Fawehinmi had dragged him to court, Tinubu claimed to have attended Government College Ibadan and a non-existent primary school in Lagos. It has since been discovered that he was never sighted within the precincts of GCI.

In order to expose the truth, former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), instituted a suit before a court in the United States seeking to obtain Tinubu’s school records which would validate his claim before the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal in Nigeria that Tinubu is a fraud.

Ideally, one would think that a man who is leading the greatest Black nation in the world would embrace transparency like others who have sat on the seat of power in Aso Rock. However, he hired a team of five lawyers with the sole task of making sure that his school records were not made available. Such disgraceful behaviour is unparalleled in Nigeria’s political history.

But this is not surprising since it is stated that the student named Bola Tinubu, who attended that school in the 1970s, was registered as a female at a time long before gender change surgeries were even contemplated.

Tinubu had through his lawyers dared Atiku at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal to prove one of their grounds of petition that Tinubu’s Chicago State University certificate was forged. As Atiku set out to prove his claim, Tinubu’s lawyers quickly placed a stumbling block before him by asking the US court not to make his records available.

They claim that it is no longer necessary for Atiku to have such information since the election tribunal in Nigeria has finished hearing any more evidence and had adjourned for judgment. It is obvious that Tinubu is seeking a dubious victory based on technicalities and not on the principle of law. No wonder they don’t want #AllEyesOnTheJudiciary.

Next, they said the mistakes on the certificate they submitted in court to prove Tinubu’s innocence regarding the certificate forgeries were caused by an unnamed clerk of CSU. If Tinubu was certain the clerk made mistakes, why did he send as many as five lawyers to the Illinois Court to stop Atiku from getting access to his academic records? He should have just allowed the university to explain their mistakes. Without knowing, he was inadvertently validating Atiku’s and others’ allegation that he had been trotting around with a fake certificate.

The Chicago State University (CSU) has also not acted professionally. What was so special about Tinubu’s academic records that all the unpardonable mistakes from a university as reputed as CSU would lose sleep over just one former student who American authorities established had ties to heroin trafficking and money laundering and was forced to forfeit $460,000?

How does a reputable higher institution explain Tinubu’s gender is female, his age was altered by two years, and his middle name changed from Ahmed to Adekunle while signatories were clearly different on the certificate? This is certainly more than a clerical error. How is it that only Tinubu’s certificate had grammatical errors, signature errors, and wrong fonts?

Tinubu recently sent a list of 48 ministerial nominees to the Senate for confirmation. Their credentials were scrutinized, and they were asked to defend their certificates. Would the Senate have confirmed Tinubu as a minister if he were on that list? Wouldn’t he have been chased out of the hallowed chambers of the Senate if he had come with questionable credentials?

Isn’t it tragic that a man who cannot scale a mere ministerial screening is now serving as President of Nigeria? A Nigerian tragedy indeed!

Phrank Shaibu is the Special Assistant on Public Communications to Atiku Abubakar

Still on the matter!

Tinubu's identity, is a voodoo identity.

Unending movie we are all with you to see how it will end...

It has already been established by Obi and Atiku. The evidences are all beyond reasonable doubt. The PEPT judges should rise to the occasion and senď the criminal to where he belongs. BAT is a thief

Tinubu way no pure....

When most of them have EFCC cases hanging on their necks with the old EFCC boss nko?
Is it AKPABIO, KEYAMO, GANDUJE OR MATAWALE that will question him?

The people he just greased with billions?
Then greased the judiciary with more billions?

Most of them like WIKE DID NOT DEFEND SHYTE. . .the took 'bow-wows'!
He simply fortified himself with CROOKS like himself.

You wonder why they are coups all over Africa abi?

You mean the female graduated as a male, how possible is that, because the university herself confirmed and released pictures of him, they confirmed he was their bonafide student, he might have lost his certificate and instead of going through the rigors of asking for replacement, he did another one but if you believe he was a female but graduated as a male, that means you must be part of those that have submitted their brains to Kanu nnamdi, that believed killing your fellow igbos will give them biafra

That picture you uploaded and many others like it are as fake as Tinubu's entire life.

At the bolded, don't you think certificate forgery is a criminal offense? If your assertion here is true, Druggie will not only be sent out of Aso Rock, he will also be sent into prison.

Closing the door of the stable when the horse has bolted, is foolishness. Forum shopping for technicalities is no longer of any use. The Presidential Election Tribunal has passed the stage of hearing for evidence and adjourned for judgement. The train has left the station. Jagaban Capone De Tuti is already home and dry.

The kind of childish desperation coming from Atiku and his aides is just laughable. Atiku told Nigerians he won the election. Instead of proving how exactly he won the election, he’s now exerting so much energy, resources and time on how to find something from Tinubu’s educational background to disqualify him.

One thing is clear at least, Tinubu won the February 25th election clean and clear. Atiku and Peter Obi are simply bad losers who can’t accept defeat.

As for Atiku and his wild goose chase, he will keep losing everywhere. Tinubu is a man of destiny. He will pull Nigeria out of the current economic mess and set her on the path of economic growth and shared prosperity.

instead of going through the rigors of asking for replacement, ""he did another one"" define forgery.

Ebola is the most corrupt politician alive. God forbid bating.

First President without siblings, no known biological father or mother, community or kindred unknown, classmates unknown, no Primary and secondary school records but miraculously graduated in the US with first class in Accounting that is later turning to B.A in Business Administration.



From making billions as a staff of Mobil and Deloitte who came out to debunk the purported salary he said he earned at the time he purportedly worked for them, to bearing a shortened name that doesn't come as a stand alone name in his ethnic origin, and considering the fact that when he was born, people haven't learned polishing their ethnic names to make it sound trendy begs for more answer.




Nigerians from a certain region are the most imbecilic people on earth

Kadoso Mutairu aka seunmsg!😜😜😜😜😜

Timlubuu has successfully scammed the ignoramuses that voted for him.



Only a hardened criminal will go to such length of erasing his former identity.

Which crime worse than drug trafficking did he commit?

What I know is that tinubu has failed, and doesn't have what it takes to rule a country like Nigeria. Nigeria is not Lagos, Nigeria is not Yoruba land. Nigeria is too complex to be ruled by a sick old man. Agbaya ni

even if it is for academic purpose, I want to know the truth.

People with known origins have piloted and are piloting different states in Nigeria.
They have piloted Nigèria since 1960 and where did it lead the country?
When u hear Nigèrians, u wonder what they learnt while there were being educated.

Have u seen the certificates of other students from that year to confirm only Tinubu's certificate has error?
Did u pass through an educational process at all?
Because if u did, u must have seen errors made by institutions with alphabets in the name of a person, his place of origin, his/her date of birth etc.
I have seen it severally.
I'm sure if such people appear on the ballot tomorrow, u will come to scrutinize thinking u know so much whereas u basically don't know anything.

The university is sensible, u don't publish someone's records because his opponents asked for it.
If u don't know what professionalism is, a little research will do u good.
Funny enough those of u who are not happy when ur department post ur semester results on the notice boards with ur name and matruc number are the ones saying the institution should post his whole record.
The institution is not obligated to any of u.

This only happens in a failed state.
