Apologise to Tinubu and Nigerians - Festus Keyamo knocks Atiku after Chicago State University released President's academic records

Apologise to Tinubu and Nigerians - Festus Keyamo knocks Atiku after Chicago State University released President's academic records. 

Keyamo’s tweets come after CSU released the academic records of Tinubu following an order from a Chicago court. 

In the record released, CSU confirmed it found three diplomas matching the certificate Tinubu presented to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, after a diligent search. 

The release of the documents by CSU confirms that Tinubu graduated from CSU in 1979 although observers say the released documents raised other questions. 

One of the questions raised is Tinubu's gender, which was listed as female “F”. 

Others pointed out that the certificate Tinubu presented to INEC is different from what was released by CSU and they argued that this is tantamount to “forgery”. 

In the document Tinubu presented to INEC, it was stated that he graduated “with honors” (This means graduating with one of the best grades in the whole faculty and school in general). However, the document presented by CSU doesn't reflect this. 

Recall that a United States District Court in Northern Illinois had on Saturday, Sept. 30, ordered the Chicago State University (CSU) to release the academic records of Tinubu to Atiku. 

The development came after a U.S Judge, Nancy Maldonado, adopted all the ruling of Magistrate Judge Jeffrey Gilbert of the U.S. District Court. 

 Tinubu had objected to the Magistrate Judge Jeffrey Gilbert ruling ordering the immediate release of the academic records by the CSU. 

Justice Nancy Maldonado in a judgment dismissed the objection raised by Tinubu against Atiku’s request and expressly ordered that the CSU must submit the academic records to Atiku.

A 13-year-old boy has pleaded guilty to causing the d£ath of a grandmother fatally hit by a car in Sheffield. The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared at Sheffield Crown Court on Tuesday, October 3 via video link and admitted to causing the d€ath by dangerous driving of 60-year-old Marcia Grant by running her over with her own car in Greenhill on 5 April, when he was 12. The boy previously admitted a second charge of possession of a kitchen knife. When he first appeared before court in April, prosecutor Gary Crothers told Sheffield Youth Court that police at the scene noted that the boy said "Is she dead?", "Looks like I got my first kill?", and "It was an accident, I swear." His lawyer, Ben Campbell said the issue in relation to these comments was "what you can infer from them in all the circumstances". Describing the incident, Mr Crothers told the youth court: "At around 7pm on the evening in question this defen

Nobel Prize in literature 2023 awarded to Norwegian author Jon Fosse. Norwegian author Jon Fosse, 64, is the winner of the 2023 Nobel Prize in literature for his “innovative plays and prose which give voice to the unsayable”.  The announcement was made on Thursday, October 5, 2023.  Anders Olsson, chairman of the Nobel committee for literature said: “His huge oeuvre, spanning a variety of genres, comprises around 40 plays and a wealth of novels, poetry collections, essays, children’s books and translations.  “Fosse blends a rootedness in the language and nature of his Norwegian background with artistic techniques in the wake of modernism.”  Born in 1959 in Haugesund on the west coast of Norway, Fosse grew up in Strandebarm. At the age of seven, he nearly died in an accident, which he said was “the most important experience” of his childhood and one that “created” him as an artist.  He aspired to be a rock guitarist before turning his ambitions to writing.  His debut novel,

Public opinion can never override the constitution of Nigeria – CJN warns judges Olukayode Ariwoola, chief justice of Nigeria (CJN), has stated that public opinion “no matter how serious or weighty it may be”, cannot override the superiority of Nigeria's constitution. Addressing 22 newly sworn-in judges of the federal high court on Wednesday, October 4, the CJN said the constitution must be considered first and foremost when deciding each case brought before them. “Several vitriolic attacks are regularly heaped on the judiciary; it is, however, crystal clear that public opinion, no matter how serious or weighty it might be, cannot override or supersede the Constitution of the country which we apply in deciding each case,” the CJN said. “Nevertheless, your Lordships still owe your conscience and the generality of the Nigerian masses, particularly those who are looking up to you, the great responsibility of good moral rectitude and acceptable conduct to uphold and consoli
