Chicago State University caught in dispute over Nigeria's presidential election​

Chicago State University finds itself at the center of a political dispute involving the newly elected president of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu.

Tinubu's political rival, Atiku Abubakar, claims that documents showing that Tinubu graduated from Chicago State in 1979 are not authentic, and that is grounds to nullify Tinubu's election victory earlier this year.

According to the People's Gazette, Tinubu submitted the diploma to Nigeria's election commission. It was purportedly issued in 1979 and signed by university President Elnora Daniel. But Daniel didn't arrive at CSU until 1998 and left about ten years later. Submitting false records to the National Election Commission before the vote should nullify the election, Abubaker claims.

At a hearing in Chicago this week, Abubakar's lawyers asked a federal judge to compel CSU officials to turn over Tinubu's academic documents and appear for depositions. Judge Jeffrey Gilbert of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois did not rule on the request.

CSU's lawyer, Michael Hayes, told Gilbert that the university wouldn't be able to certify Tinubu's diploma under oath.

A CSU spokeswoman said the university can confirm the president graduated. However, it cannot authenticate the diploma because it is a ceremonial document that is not part of a student's official academic file.

Earlier this year, Nigeria's Presidential Election Petition Court dismissed Abubakar's claim against Tinubu's Feb. 25 election.

However, Abubakar continues to fight the results here in Chicago.

Chicago State has issued this statement:

As an educational institution, we are sometimes asked to provide information related to student records. Federal law known as FERPA (the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) protects the privacy of student records and limits what an institution can release.
In August 2023, a request was made in U.S. federal court for the university to provide information related to educational records concerning Bola Tinubu, the President of Nigeria, and a former CSU student. The university has confirmed Tinubu attended CSU and graduated in 1979 with a bachelor's degree. Federal law, however, prevents us from providing any further information without consent or unless allowed to do so via court order.
CSU is confident in the veracity and integrity of our records regarding Tinubu's completion of graduation requirements and degree certificate. The university is not a party to the Nigerian legal proceedings that spurred this request, and a U.S. federal judge will determine whether the university will provide further requested information.
Our response to the request for Tinubu's academic records has been entirely consistent with our practices, policies and federal law. We would respond in exactly the same manner for any request for any student information by a third party.

Was Tinubu apart of the Pius Aileman drug organization?

Was Tinubu apart of the Pius Aileman drug organization?

I don't think he was affiliated with Aileman's organization but there is most definitely a connection. From the second article I posted, it said Nigerians controlled the heroin game in the 90's.

Located at the junction of 4 states with combined population exceeding 27 million at the time, Chicago was a key trafficking hub in the American heroin trade. And as it turned out, the wholesale trade of an especially potent form of heroin from Southeast Asia (SEA) in 1990s Chicago was controlled by Nigerian criminal gangs. The following excerpt is taken from the January 2001 Illinois Drug Threat Assessment published by the US Justice Department’s National Drug Intelligence Centre:

“Nigerian criminal groups are responsible for wholesale distribution of most of the SEA heroin shipped into Chicago. SEA heroin, which is 80-90 percent pure, is being sold by Nigerian traffickers for $80,000-$110,000 per kilogram. Wholesalers in Chicago usually sell heroin without cutting it to minimize their handling of the product and their exposure to law enforcement.”

Tinubu allegedly worked for two Nigerian kingpins who controlled the heroin game in Chicago. Aileman apparently controlled the game in where... Oakland?? At minimum, they probably had the same supplier.

it crazy how power and influence protects power and influence no matter where it is in the world. chicago state university should have been cleared up this matter once it was brought to their attention but they're busy suspending their social media accounts to keep from responding to these inquiries about a guy who doesn't even live in the U.S.

Chicago State has been struggling financially. I'm sure they received a generous gift from an anonymous Nigerian donor.

Knew naija was corrupt but


Still got nothing on the US

Nigeria is just as gangsta as the UK (the wizards of offshore banking and shell companies). US. Former President US. George W. Bush didn't attend classes when he was at Yale and was passed on the strength of his daddy and grandad and a certain powerful fraternity. George H.W. Bush sold more cocaine than Pablo Escobar when he was with the CIA and VP. Iran Contra.

Back to the thread theme. Pot meet the kettle.

Documents Point to Bribes of Nigerian by Congressman​

Documents Point to Bribes of Nigerian by Congressman (Published 2006)

The Federal Bureau of Investigation raided the Maryland home of the vice president of Nigeria last summer in search of money from Representative William Jefferson.

• June 7, 2006

WASHINGTON, June 6 — The Federal Bureau of Investigation raided the Maryland home of the vice president of Nigeria last summer in search of bribe money that the bureau believed had been paid to him by Representative William Jefferson, according to documents released on Tuesday.
The documents included an affidavit signed by an F.B.I. agent who said that the Nigerian vice president, Atiku Abubakar, now a candidate for president of that oil-rich West African nation, asked for at least half of the profits of a technology company controlled by Mr. Jefferson that was seeking to do business in Nigeria.
About the same time last year, the documents said, Mr. Jefferson told colleagues of his plans to bribe Nigerian officials, including Mr. Abubakar, in exchange for their help in winning business in Nigeria, and that Mr. Abubakar would be paid as much as $500,000 in cash.
The F.B.I. affidavit, which was dated Aug. 2, and other documents were made public over the objections of Mr. Jefferson, a Louisiana Democrat who is the target of a wide-ranging corruption investigation. He has denied wrongdoing and has said the information in the court papers would unfairly damage his reputation.
