Dele Farotimi: It is Not A Nigerian Thing Nor Yoruba Thing To Forge Certificates

Arise Exclusives
He said the Supreme Court has the power to decide whether the alleged ‘forgery’ can be itted as evidence against Tinubu.

Nigerian Lawyer and Human Rights Advocate, Dele Farotimi, has said that irrespective of what the registrar of the Chicago State University said, it is not a Nigerian thing, or a Yoruba thing to forge certificates.

Farotimi made this statement in an interview with ARISE NEWS on Thursday, where he also said that the truth in Nigeria has become subjective, and that Nigerians have a duty to ensure that the truth does not become transactional.
Farotimi spoke to what the CSU registrar said as he emphasized, “I am of the firm opinion that it is not a Nigerian thing to forge documents. Regardless of what the CSU registrar might have to say on the subject, it is not a Nigerian thing. The CSU was unambiguous in making clear that the diploma submitted to INEC does not emanate from it, that I think is about the only thing of legal consequence that concerns me as far as I am concerned, but when you now look to the broader issue of honesty, integrity, the image of the country, it doesn’t look good.”

Responding to a statement made on Monday by the minister of foreign affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar, concerning the issue, Farotimi said, “He was correct to decree the forgery by Mr. Tinubu as frivolous. When you consider all the other things that are confronting Nigeria, it is particularly trivial to contemplate that the president ‘of the most populous black country in the world’ actually forged his certificate.

“Now, to move beyond that, because it is very easy to try and run away from the trivialities that the Tinubu istration has more or less forced on us, but when you dig deeper in the body of the same deposition, you begin to address the fact again that there are so many lies under guarding even the forged certificate itself, too many questions waiting to be answered, people might begin to talk about how evidence does not count again at this point, but again, it’s not like evidence has ever mattered in out space because even the judiciary have found ways to make what matters not matter any longer.

The Human Rights Advocate then said that he does not subscribe to the idea of someone being given the title of Omoluabi simply because they are Yoruba, saying, “An Omoluabi comes with qualifications, it comes with qualification of integrity, of honesty, of pedigree, of history, that is why we have Oriki in Yoruba land, a person will be praised to his progeny…. And then the person must earn the tag of the Omoluabi, he must act with integrity, he must deal equitably with other people, he must be fair in his dealings with people.

“To now appropriate Omoluabi to everybody who answers the name of a Yoruba person even when the person has not acted in a manner that is suggestive of the person having the quality that will make the person answer to the name of Omoluabi, I reject that in its entirety. I am an Omoluabi, I am a Yoruba man, and I have not forged my certificate. So, it is not a Nigerian thing, and it is certainly not a Yoruba thing, and it is not an Omoluabi thing to do that.”

Concerning the controversy that had come up in the Nigerian space from the pronouncement of the CSU registrar, and if the Nigerian judiciary will do anything with this information, the lawyer said, “Facts don’t matter in Nigeria any longer, that’s the truth. It’s gotten to the point where alternative facts have taken over the space, and truth itself has become completely subjective and transactional. The depositions are clear, and they are not ambiguous. The person representing CSU was unequivocal in declaring that the certificate submitted to INEC by the man known as Bola Ahmed Tinubu does not emanate from them. That is a matter that should be conclusively dealt with and forgotten about. Whether the Nigerian courts will find out a sufficient basis to do the needful, that is another argument that we can have at another time, but that we are still arguing about what has been conclusively proven in the deposition speaks a lot to the kind of country that we have become.”

Speaking further, he said, “Now, whether Mr Tinubu attended the University, whether he attended having the right qualifications, whether he lied about the schools he attended, whether government College Lagos was founded in 1970 or 1974, that’s another story entirely. And the deeper you dig into this, the messier it becomes, and I actually think that we have a duty not to allow truth to become transactional and subjective. Facts on the ground are clear, the certificate submitted by Mr. Tinubu is a forgery. That is not my opinion, that is what the registrar of the school has declared.”

Farotimi was then asked if it was possible for fresh evidence concerning the alleged forgery of Tinubu’s certificate to be itted into the Supreme Court in the Presidential election appeal case, and he said, “Nigerian courts, over the past few years, have shown very clearly that we have good reasons to be worried about the capacity to deliver justice or to give.

CSU never called forgery a Nigerian thing neither did CSU say Tinubu forged anything.

That's how you people misled the KOWA Prof with fake news.

You're the one to go to court and justiify who gave Tinubu certificate whether is from vendors or CSU. And according to Dele, the more you dig into the matted the messier it becomes because the O'Level Tinubu used is also fake and the secondary school he attended was non-existent then. So you and your druggie certificate forger have a lot to tell the court.

What is stopping you and Dele from taking him to court? Everyone is innocent until proven guilty, so why don't you simply go to court and prove your case?
Arise TV and bloggers can't convict anyone why don't you all go to court to get a real conviction?

Why does it sound so strange to people that Tinubu forged csu certificate.
Tinubu all his life has been a criminal.
He is allergic to honesty. Just take your time and check his background:
Name
Age
Parents names
Siblings
Town
State
Primary school attended
Secondary sch attended
College attended
Certificates obtained
Source of wealth
Just name it. Nothing about Tinubu is genuine.
I have no doubt in my mind that, Tinubu
never even graduated from csu. Csu is just acting as an accomplice to his crime to save face.

I'm Yoruba I'm omo olu iwa bi I don't forge my certificate

All these dishonest people?
Seriously?
You have a global criminal as president, but you worship him.

;This election buttress the fact that ibos are bitter sore losers,damn!! Honestly,Tinubu should get ready to use the northern treatment for these people. The envyness and bitterness obi has instigated his people after his shameful lose at the pole really exposed the Ibo people. The aftermath of this election shows that they deserve what they got during the civil war as they die in their numbers. My problem with Tinubu is his heart,just as kind as Awolowo. "Treat this lies and fake news propaganda carriers in the language they understand. After all they are cowards just like obi that has abandoned nnmadi Kanu to his fate,to be pursuing illusionary presidential election.Thank God my idiotic friends in the same parish feeling woke ing this bloody osus now has a rethink.

yes soo. Tinubu has been a certificate forger for years, that is part of the medium he used to attained to power in Nigeria.

If it's not a yoruba thing, let Yorubas come out and deny it, bcs as it is now, it will take time to clear dis red signal about Yorubas being certificate forgers.

Very soon 🔜 them go take over Aso rock don't ask me who
