Do you Nigerians learn your learns all all after eight years?

The CITY BOY went to Richard Daley college for 2-year community college which will be close to going to a polytechnic in Nigeria like you said.
Then after graduation, he proceeded to use that result to apply for Chicago state university and transferred his credits to the school and he graduated his BSc from the school.
What is not clear in that?
The conclusion is that:
—Asiwaju attended Richard Daley college for 2-years and graduated
—Proceeded to Chicago state university to complete his BSc Degree
—Graduated and got a Job at Deloitte USA
—At Deloitte, his client was Saudi Aramco from where he secured some network in the oil industry.
—He left Deloitte to start working at Exxon Mobil where he rose to Treasurer position.
—He left Exxon Mobil for politics to this day!
CITY BOY is our candidate
For completeness, why didn't you address the other controversial issue?
After all, CITY BOY actually claimed to have attended the more prestigious University of Chicago as opposed to just Chicago State University.
Tinubu attending Chicago State University has never been the issue in contention. The issue that had cast a shadow on his integrity was what he filled in the INEC form F001 he submitted to the electoral body as his academic qualifications in 1999 which include the claim that he attended the University of Chicago. The University of Chicago is a private research university in Chicago, Illinois.

BREAKING: ‘You Will Suffer’ —Wike Blasts Southern Govs For Betraying Him For Atiku
May 30, 2022

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has lampooned governors from the southern region for betraying and causing him to lose the presidential ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to former vice president Atiku Abubakar.
Wike, during an event organized to welcome him after the PDP primary in Rivers State, described governors from the South as “betrayers” and stated that they will “suffer” for their actions in the nearest future.
THE WHISTLER reports that the Rivers governor attacked his southern colleagues a few hours after Atiku paid him a visit at his Abuja residence on Monday.
“We have done our own part, we never betrayed anybody because it’s not in our blood to betray. It is a shame to those people…some of our governors of the south that they are the people they used to sabotage us. Moreover, we have shown them that we are not like them, we have the capacity to do whatever is good for us,” Wike said at the event streamed live on Facebook and monitored by THE WHISTLER.
More details shortly…

We steal because Nigerians don’t stone us- Amaechi

Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, revealed at the weekend that political office holders steal state funds because Nigerians do not stone them.
Amaechi, disclosed this in Lagos during an event organised to pay tribute to Nelson Mandela, challenged Nigerians to hold their leaders able.
He said, “If you see a thief and you allow him to be stealing, what have you done? You have stoned nobody; that is why we are stealing. Who have you stoned? They came out and started dancing oil subsidy, oil subsidy. They told you that they stole N2.3trn, what did you do?

2023: LP In Talks With Peter Obi – Pat Utomi

Professor Pat Utomi, one of the political stakeholders in the country has said that the Labour Party (LP) is in touch with a former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi.
Obi, a former presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) dumped the party on Wednesday to pitch a tent with another political party ahead of the 2023 polls.
Utomi confirmed to newsmen at the LP National Secretariat in Abuja on Thursday that he was one of those in touch with Obi, to pitch a tent with LP which he described as the winning party in 2023.
He said,” Yes, we are in touch. I’m in touch with Peter Obi.” Asked to share what their discussions have been, Utomi said,” We talked about the Nigerian condition, and how every person needs to collaborate.”
“If you take the temperature of the Nigerian people, if you feel their pressure, you will know that one thing they would not want is to have anything to do with APC or PDP. The two parties have run the country down. So rational people will vote out APC and PDP in 2023.”
Similarly, the LP National Chairman, Barrister Julius Abure while receiving the expression of interest and nomination forms submitted by Comrade Joshua Chinedu Obika to contest the AMAC/Bwari Federal Constitution in the National Assembly said ‘the LP will surprise Nigerians in a few weeks’ time’ because of the bigwigs that would it.
He said the LP under his watch would not impose candidates but provide a level playing field for all the aspirants, adding that the party has all it takes to defeat the APC and PDP in 2023.

Very true.
Kemi Adeosun is a British woman and only stepped foot on Nigerian soil for the first time ever on holiday at the age of 18!
The family house of her parents who migrated to the United Kingdom in the early 1960s before Kemii was even born in still in the U.K.
She NEVER planned to live in Nigeria, but it was her marriage to a Nigerian of Yoruba descent that made her to relocate to Nigeria from
London after 10 years of marriage to protect her marriage from failure because her husband was always flying to come and see his family in the UK.
She was a top shot at the London office of PriceWaterHouse when she finally came to be with her spouse at over 30 years of age.
She was never a Nigerian citizen with a Nigerian port and so she had NO need for the NYSC exemption in the first place.
It was when she was brought to serve the Ogun State Government as a Finance Commisioner that the NYSC exemption that NYSC bungled
the who stuff and she was given a fake. NYSC even confirmed that she officially applied for the NYSC exemption in their records but a stupid
guy gave her a fake one.
This is the reason why Diasporans have to be careful when applying for Government documents because those touts could give you a fake.
Kemi Adeosun did NO WRONG!
My annoyance with her is that she should have called a press conference to let the world know that she had all her education in England as a British woman and NOT as a Nigerian. Instead she said she cried for 3 months and had to get therapy. I know that different people have different tolerance levels, but she should have had a major press conference to clear her name and the stupid criminal-syndicate staff of NYSC that gave Kemi Adeosun's go-between the fake NYSC exemption certificate should have been tracked and arrested. She had granted a 2-page interview with Sunday Punch in 2014 where she even said Mr. Tunde Kuboye of Jazz 38 is her uncle. So I full well.
Erm...Kemi Adeosun also did wrong, sorry.
Plausible deniability of a crime is not the same as innocence.
I cannot say much more on a public forum.

This is the utopic vision of Judaism - enslave humanity for their own benefit .
It is clear you have been spending far too much time in the company of Alex Jones and his ilk 
So Jewish bankers (capitalists to the hilt) actually funded and promoted communism?
The problem here is that you are trying hard to retro-fit history to a conclusion you have already reached, which clearly betrays a lack of critical analysis.

If you know how Mossad works you will know that they maintain a global network of Jewish mobsters used for assassinations, blackmail, kidnapping and Intel gathering.
The Jewish banksters in New York and London relied on New York Jewish mobsters recruited by the Jew Trotsky as well as Jewish criminals from across Europe and Russian empire to get the Red Revolution in Russia going.
Where the Kray Twins sent by Baron Victor Rothschild as an emissary to the Igbo Marxists to help coordinate the Igbo coup of 1966?
Note that Victor Rothschild became the sole beneficiary with his Royal Dutch Shell after the civil war.
Where the duo of Jewish gangsters involved in planning and teleguiding the coup on behalf of the Cambridge Spy recruiter, Baron Rothschild ?
Methinks the Kray twins were more Irish than Jewish.
Charles (father) was Irish while Violet (Mother) was also Irish but German (Jewish) through her maternal lineage.

Unit 42 Helps INTERPOL Identify Nigerian Business Email Compromise Actor
Today, INTERPOL and The Nigeria Police Force announced the arrest of a prominent business email compromise (BEC) actor who has been active since 2015. His apprehension marks the latest success for Operation Delilah - a counter-BEC operation that began in May 2021 and has involved international law enforcement and industry cooperation across four continents.
BEC remains the most common and most costly threat facing organizations globally. This threat held the top spot for the sixth year in a row on the 2021 FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) report. Over half a decade, global losses have ballooned from $360 million in 2016 to a staggering $2.3 billion in 2021. Despite these massive loss amounts, industry and global law enforcement continue to make considerable strides toward thwarting this activity.
Unit 42 tracks Nigerian BEC actors under the name SilverTerrier. Following the arrest of 11 BEC actors as part of Operation Falcon II in December 2021, this recent operation is significant in that it demonstrates the resolve of global law enforcement to hold BEC actors able despite temporary setbacks. Specifically, in this case, the SilverTerrier actor fled Nigeria in 2021 when authorities initially attempted to apprehend him. Months later, in March 2022, he attempted to return home and was quickly identified and detained as he attempted to re-enter Nigeria. This level of international cooperation, tracking of actors as they travel internationally and subsequent apprehension of actors upon returning to their home countries represents a laudable advancement in the ability of global law enforcement organizations to combat these types of crimes.
Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 was thanked for its collaboration with INTERPOL in Operation Delilah. The team provided telemetry and other insights about BEC actors.
This blog provides a brief overview of the actor’s activities and provides recommendations to help organizations protect against these threats.
Palo Alto Networks customers are protected against the types of BEC threats discussed in this blog by products including Cortex XDR and the WildFire, Threat Prevention, AutoFocus and Advanced URL Filtering subscription services for the Next-Generation Firewall.
SilverTerrier Actor

Domains: We have identified over 240 domains that were ed using this actor's aliases. Of that number, over 50 were used to provide command and control for malware. Most notably, this actor falsely provided a street address in New York city associated with a major financial institution when ing his malicious domains. Examples of domains ed by this actor include: goldmedal-inlt[.]com,gulfmedlcal[.]com, magen-ecoenregy[.]com, nauticelegal[.]com, sanof1[.]com and scbc-uk[.]com.
Malware: ISRStealer, Pony, LokiBot
Oldest Activity: 2015
Departing Nigeria: Upon fleeing Nigeria in June 2021, this actor was observed attempting to sell his Autobiography Special Edition Range Rover for 5.8 million Naira.

Interesting Notes: This actor shares social media connections with Onuegbu Ifeanyi Ephraim, Darlington Ndukwu, and Onukwubiri Ifeanyi Kingsley, all of whom were arrested in 2021 as part of Operation Falcon II. He is also considered to be well connected with other known BEC actors.

EXCLUSIVE: Peter Obi dumps PDP, pulls out of presidential primaries
The frontline presidential aspirant feared he might be humiliated at the opposition party’s convention this weekend, Peoples Gazette heard.

Peter Obi, the presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, has left the main opposition platform, Peoples Gazette can report.
Mr Obi’s exit, coming on the eve of hotly-contested presidential primaries, came as the politician expressed fears he might be humiliated at the convention in Abuja.
Mr Obi confirmed his exit to Peoples Gazette on Wednesday evening, saying he caught wind of a gang up against him.
He did not immediately disclose his next platform.
The development is expected to put additional spotlight on the PDP’s primaries scheduled to be held in Abuja this weekend, where Mr Obi was initially seen as a front runner in a race that includes Atiku Abubakar, Nyesom Wike, Dele Momodu, Bukola Saraki and other bigwigs.
A spokesman for the PDP did not immediately return a request seeking comments.
A source familiar with the development said Mr Obi feared he might not do well at the convention, despite his widespread popularity and fame amongst everyday Nigerians

PRESIDENCY WARNS AGAINST HASTY RESPONSE TO CRUEL VIDEOS NOW VIRAL

The Presidency has cautioned the public against a hasty response to videos of the killing of non-indigenes by the Eastern Security Network that have gone viral. It equally warned against the indiscriminate sharing of such posts on social media.
The statement signed by Presidency spokesperson, Garba Shehu, read in full, "The Presidency wishes to caution against any knee-jerk reactions, the creation of panic, disruption of lives and livelihoods, or even retaliatory violence following the viral videos of the alleged killings of non-indigenes by the Eastern Security Network (ESN) and its mother terrorist group, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
While expert agencies are now ing the factuality and veracity of the claims that accompany the horrid pictures being circulated, we call on all citizens to avoid hasty steps or conclusions that could exacerbate the situation, and on the contrary keep to a line of conduct that will help the law to take its proper course.
The Presidency also cautions the public against the indiscriminate sharing of posts on social media so as to deny vested interests who seek to divide us and create disturbance the chance to do so.
In the issuance of his very strong condemnation of these “wild, barbarous and wanton killings of innocent people” in the South-East as well as the other parts of the country, which he described as “deeply distressing,” President Muhammadu Buhari warns the perpetrators of these acts to expect tough response from the security forces.

EXCLUSIVE: Peter Obi Set To Labour Party

A frontline presidential aspirant of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, Peter Obi, may have succumbed to pressure from groups asking him to dump the Peoples Democratic Party.
THE WHISTLER learnt on Tuesday that the former Anambra State governor has perfected plans to defect to the Labour Party for good, due to the politics of the PDP delegates’ election.
The Coalition for Peter Obi (COP) had piled pressure on the former governor to leave the PDP in order to realize his ambition to be president of Nigeria.
The groups warned Peter Obi that if he failed to leave the PDP, he would be seen in the light of career politicians who brought Nigeria to its knees.
The groups based their advice on reports that money bags in the PDP were doling out hundreds of millions of dollars to buy the delegates that will vote at the forthcoming PDP presidential primary.
They, therefore, advised Peter Obi to move to another political party to be at peace with his conscience and not to entangle himself in possible political negotiations or maneuvering that will stain him and hamper his ability to serve Nigerians.
This was disclosed in a statement tly signed by the conveners of the Coalition of over 17 groups that recently organized a One-Million-Man March that witnessed massive turnout across the 36 states of the federation and FCT.
Over 7 million Nigerians reportedly participated in the march which was held on Saturday, May 21, 2022.
The organizers of the march asked the PDP leadership to be transparent in their dealings and to give Nigerians Peter Obi, a leader with a proven track record of prudent management of resources and wealth creation.
The Coalition, with an estimated ten million active voters across the country, also berated the PDP for playing double standards and violating its own constitutional provision on zoning political offices, thereby toying with the future of our children.

Those who signed the issue on Tuesday morning include Alhaji Zubairu Mohammad Spokesman, O, for the following 17 pressure groups: Peter Obi Network (POSN); Like Minds for Peter Obi (LMPO); Nigeria Needs Peter Obi (NNPO); TakeBackNaija (TBN); Women for Peter Obi (WPO); Peter Obi FC (POFC); Peter Obi Movement for President (POMP); Associates of Peter Obi (APO/POE); Peter Obi Candidacy Movement (POCM); Peter Obi Ambassadors (POA); TeamOHO; Nigerian Diasporas for Peter Obi (NDPO USA); Peter Obi National Mandate (PONAM); Peter Obi for Good Governance (POGG); YES Peter Obi Group (YESPOSG); Peter Obi to the RESCUE Group (PORG); and 17. Nigeria Unites for Peter Obi (NUPO).
The statement reads: “Recent development within the leadership of PDP is very pathetic as many chieftains of the party have ganged up to frustrate the presidential ambition of genuine and decent presidential aspirants, thereby encouraging unscrupulous politicians with no verifiable sources of income to throw monies around.
“They are well-known individuals in the party who are doing everything possible within their powers to block any chance for credible aspirants to emerge. The Party seems to have adopted an unwritten rule of tacitly encouraging the looting of state resources for party politics.
“Many of these political merchants are envious of the nationwide acceptability and sterling performance of Peter Obi both in the public and private sector, making them do everything possible to thwart the former governor of Anambra state’s presidential ambition.
“Therefore, as a Coalition which consists of more than 17 groups with ten million active voters, we call on his Excellency, Mr. Peter Obi to dump Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and look for another political platform with people of like mind to pursue his presidential ambition to enable him help salvage our sinking nation”.

Federal Character...
Ahmed Idris Is Not Nigeria’s First ant-General Linked to Fraud. Here Are 2 Others
Ahmed Idris, the immediate former ant-General of the Federation, was arrested by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for alleged money laundering and diversion of public funds on May 16.
Idris, a Kano State native, is to be prosecuted for the diversion of at least N80 billion public funds allegedly laundered through the award of bogus contracts.
According to the EFCC, the funds from the contracts awarded have been traced to family and close associates of the ant-general.

Before his eventual arrest, the commission had continuously accused Idris of ‘dodging’ numerous invitations extended to him to answer questions bothering on misappropriation of public funds.
Following Idris’ arrest, Zainab Ahmed, the minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, announced his indefinite suspension on Wednesday.
Although Idris’ arrest has triggered a lot of reactions online, he is not the first Nigerian ant-general linked to misappropriation of public funds. Below are a couple of others.
JONAH OGUNNIYI OTUNLA’S N2 BILLION FRAUD CASE

John Otunla
In June 2015, Jonah Ogunniyi Otunla, Idris’ immediate predecessor, was accused of money laundering by the EFCC.
Otunla, alongside eight others, was said to have N2 billion from the of the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) while in office in 2013.
The anti-graft agency alleged that he withdrew the money from ONSA’s purportedly for the supply of security equipment.
The agency further alleged that the fund formed part of the proceeds of an unlawful activity of Sambo Dasuki, a former National Security Adviser.
In February 2021, Bebia Victor Okangbe, lawyer to Otunla, claimed the federal government entered into ‘an oral non-prosecution agreement’ with his client so he could return some allegedly diverted public funds to the government.
IBAHIM DANKWAMBO’S AUTHORISATION OF N128 BILLION SUBSIDY PAYMENT

Ibrahim Dankwambo
Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo, a former ant-General of the Federation, who later became Governor of Gombe State, was accused by the House of Representatives Ad-hoc Committee on Subsidy Probe of making a questionable N128 billion fuel subsidy payment in 2012.
Dankwambo, who was appointed the ant-General of the Federation in 2005, was said to have made a N999 million payment 128 times within 24 hours in 2009.
Dankwambo was also alleged to have released Central Bank cheques reflecting the said amount to 128 purported oil marketers, raising doubts on how all the firms could have imported same volume of fuel and earned the same amount.
Dankwambo would later deny the allegation, stating that his office was not responsible for the payment of subsidy. He also disclosed that after he made some inquiries, he found that the statement used by the committee was that of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA), which the AGF had no control over.

He was allegedly involved in other fraudulent activities and using the Government Integrated Financial Management System (GIFMIS) to steal the salaries of federal government staff.
