Shortly before taking off on Wednesday, October 18, Germany's Chancellor Olaf Scholz received an alarm regarding a missile assault at Tel Aviv Airport, forcing him to ditch his aircraft and seek shelter. According to reports, travelers were told to lie down on the runway at the airport. This safety procedure also had to be followed by the current journalists.

Two rockets launched by Hamas over Tel Aviv Airport were successfully intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome defense system from Gaza. Chancellor Scholz, however, was not left lying on the runway; rather, he was brought to a nearby container and subsequently to a secure location. The passengers were allowed to board the aircraft again once the missiles were intercepted. Chancellor Scholz stated that he had conversations on the delivery of humanitarian supplies to people in the Gaza Strip during talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He further promised to convey this information to the president of Egypt.

 More fatalities and devastation are being reported, and the battle between Israel and Palestine is becoming worse. The attempts by other countries to persuade Israel to cease-fire have failed. Israel has sworn to eradicate every terrorist from Hamas for invading their nation.

CR7 said I was the ONLY one better than him but I ended up watching him in JAIL

The only player Cristiano Ronaldo openly acknowledged as being superior to him is him.

And when he was just 13 years old, he made an amazing £327,00 since players and fans traveled all around Portugal to see him. However, Paim's career fell into oblivion as a result of the fame, wealth, and partying lifestyle, while his boyhood pal went on to become one of football's all-time greats. Then it reached its lowest point when Paim, imprisoned for a year in the notorious Caxias jail, was forced to watch Ronaldo train with Portugal through a window.

At the age of eight, the winger was selected by Sporting's academy and sent to Lisbon, where the excitement rapidly grew. With his brilliant skill, Paim looked destined to become even more brilliant than fellow Sporting academy phenom Ronaldo, who is three years older. In 2003, Ronaldo expressed his excitement about joining Manchester United by saying, "If you think I'm good, wait until you see Fabio Paim." But to what extent was Paim good? And did he truly outperform Ronaldo? Where he lives in the Algarve, Paim spoke to SunSport and said:

"I was truly unique. I know I should be modest, but this is the reality.Regretfully, there was no Instagram or Facebook back then, and nothing was documented as it is now. However, I firmly and really feel that, up to this point, no one has ever been like me in terms of quality.Cristiano reached a level he is worthy of after all his dedication and hard work. "But in terms of technique, I was superior when I was playing if I had put in the same amount of effort and dedication." I resembled a little Ronaldinho. However, as we can see, the method is not what gets us where we want to go.Yes, I was superior to Cristiano at the time.

I think I ought to receive one of his Ballons d'Or! When asked if he could have theoretically won the Ballon d'Or and been the greatest player in the world, Paim said, "Yes, without a doubt." Ronaldo won several awards, including the Euro 2016 championship with Portugal, but Paim never got the chance to play in the Sporting first team during a competitive match. In 2008, the Portuguese youth international went on loan to Chelsea. The 20-year-old lived alone and "didn't enjoy" his year in London, even though he earned roughly £50,000 per month in addition to Sporting's £130,000 yearly bonus in Brendan Rodgers and Paul Clement's reserves, while compatriots like Deco and Ricardo Carvalho were first-team stars.

Football player Fabio's fall Paim said that he was "overwhelmed" by fame and fortune, squandering his amazing fortune on vehicles, women, booze, and parties since he had never been taught how to manage his finances. At the age of 22, he "mentally" retired from Portuguese minnows Real Massama, but he kept working as a journeyman in China, Angola, Lithuania, Qatar, Malta, and Brazil in order to support his opulent lifestyle. The mother of Paim, a domestic servant, gave this explanation: "Unfortunately, I was gifted from birth."I had the impression I didn't need to put in the work since I was making a lot of money. A person such as me could never become a millionaire.I regret making some decisions. Since I'm older now, I can see

"My mind wasn't there, but the talent was." All I could think about was ladies and partying, outside football.I participated in a few games, but my body wasn't in the best of form, so I didn't meet the expectations of the fans, since if I could have been at Real Madrid or Barcelona. However, Paim's life took a terrible turn in 2019 when he was detained for having five grams of cocaine in his hands. "My mind wasn't there, but the talent was." All I could think about was ladies and partying, outside football.I participated in a few games, but my body wasn't in the best form, so I didn't meet the fans' expectations, since if I could have been at Real Madrid or Barcelona. However, Paim's life took a terrible turn in 2019 when he was detained for having five grams of cocaine in his hands.

He was accused of cocaine trafficking and detained in a cell near the Portuguese FA's Cidade do Futebol headquarters for a year until the case crumbled and he was found not guilty. The more than 150-year-old jail was formerly a fort, and its cells are infamous for being airless, damp, and gloomy. For the father of two, however, it was a life-changing moment when he saw the impact his decisions had on his family and experienced directly how his life may have turned out differently.

"The prison I was in is next to the field where the Portugal national team performs, so I could watch them train every day for the Euro 2020 qualifiers," Paim, whose final club was Polish third-tier squad LZS Starowice in late 2020, stated.I didn't think, "Ah, Cristiano is there," since I was there for a purpose. I ought to be there as well. "Prison was really hard and difficult for me and my family," Paim said, wiping away tears. However, I felt okay about it.I discovered that simple things are not always healthy. I had to work in order to maintain my dignity since I was unable to continue living that way.My life is now more peaceful. I'll definitely create some more.

"I was not the kind of boy who belonged in prison."I want no one to think poorly of me. I made the decision, and I made the error. Family is the most essential thing, but I needed the consolation and support that only a family can provide. I also had to be honest with my kids. All I asked was for them to come see me.My mum has always supported me greatly and continues to do so. "It pains me so much how much my mistakes have hurt them; they didn't deserve that." I overindulged them. I'm sorry for being so sentimental; it's not my fault.

 When Fabio Paim was a youngster, he seemed to have the whole world at his feet, literally, whether it was a football, a dance floor, or the pedal of a Lamborghini or Ferrari. Ironically, though, the colorful, extravagant figure claims he is happy now that all of it has passed. Gazing out over Vilamoura Marina, where he is frequently halted by devoted residents, Paim thought to himself, "I thought that was happiness when I had the fame, the money, and the parties."However, I had no idea what happiness actually was. I was wealthy, but I had no idea what it meant to travel and eat well. "I know what happiness is now, and I'm content with less."

Leading a group of former football players at Sir Alex Ferguson's wife Cathy's funeral is David Beckham.

On Monday, October 16, a number of football players, including football legend David Beckham, traveled to Glasgow, Scotland to attend the funeral of Lady Cathy Ferguson, the late wife of former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson. On Monday morning, Lady Cathy's service took place in St Andrew's Cathedral. Leading a group of former football players at Sir Alex Ferguson's wife Cathy's funeral is David Beckham. At the age of 84, she died earlier this month. Alongside Beckham, 48, there were other Manchester United legends such as Darren Fletcher, 39, Ji-Sung Park, 42, Michael Carrick, 42, Bryan Robson, 66, and Steve Bruce, 62.

Among those in attendance were Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers, 50, former Rangers assistant Archie Knox, 76, and Scotland icon Kenny Dalglish, 72. After his late wife's coffin was removed from the church, Sir Alex shook hands with Canon Andrew McKenzie, the minister.

Iran claims that if Israel ceases its attacks on Gaza, Hamas is prepared to free at least 199 captives. Iran claims that if Israel ceases its attacks on Gaza, Hamas is prepared to free at least 199 captives. On Monday, October 16, Iran's Foreign Ministry asserted that, because at least 199 people are now known to have been captured by terrorists, the Hamas militant organization was prepared to free its hostages provided Israel stopped its attacks along the Gaza Strip. Under Israeli bombardment in the area, Hamas authorities are "ready" to free hostages, but doing so would be "impossible," Iranian Foreign Ministry Nasser Kanaani reported during a press conference in Tehran.

 According to Kanaani (pictured below), the terror group, "stated that they are ready to take necessary measures to release the citizens and civilians held by resistant groups, but their point was that such measures require preparations that are impossible under daily Zionist bombardment against various parts of Gaza."

It happened on Monday, when the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) declared that there are currently at least 199 hostages being held in Gaza, a far higher figure than previously thought. Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, a spokesperson for the Israeli military, stated that families have been informed. Though the majority are thought to be in the hands of Hamas, which controls Gaza, he did not specify the number of foreigners held hostage or who was holding them.

Iran claims that if Israel ceases its attacks on Gaza, Hamas is prepared to free at least 199 captives. Iran's government backs Hamas, and indications suggest that Iranian security personnel assisted the terror organization in organizing its October 7 suicide strike on Israel. Iran has issued a warning, threatening to join the conflict as well, should Israel begin its much-anticipated ground attack in the Gaza Strip in the days ahead.

Since the start of the conflict, more than 1,400 Israelis have died, more than 3,500 have been injured, and at least 100 have been held prisoner. The death toll is predicted to climb as a result of hundreds of rockets fired by Hamas terrorists and the deployment of dozens of militants into Israeli communities.

The BBC has confirmed that its recent report from last week, which claimed that President Tinubu's Chicago State University (CSU) diploma is authentic, is accurate. The global media outlet defends the information in its report in response to grievances expressed by specific people. In a letter delivered over the weekend to a member of the audience, the BBC Complaints Team apologized for the displeasure that some people had with "our findings on this matter." The BBC's dedication to providing accurate news demonstrates its belief in the integrity of the data about President Tinubu's educational background.

We are sorry you are dissatisfied with our conclusions about this issue, as we have received similar complaints. The BBC has investigated this and found no proof that the certificate was faked. After contacting Chicago State University, they verified that Bola Tinubu earned a bachelor's degree from the institution in 1979. We think the text we used was responsible, educational, and accurate in presenting the information we knew. As a result, we support our journalism.

To express their disapproval of Tola Odeyemi's nomination as postmaster general and chief executive officer, Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) employees have shuttered the organization's headquarters in Abuja. President Tinubu changed the leadership of communication agencies, and the appointment was one of the changes he announced through presidential spokeswoman Ajuri Ngelale. Reports emerged regarding the potential restoration of Postmaster-General Adeyemi Adepoju, who had been fired.

Adepoju was observed addressing employees who thought he had been given a promotion. But, in a show of support for Adepoju, protesting NIPOST employees barred the newly appointed CEO, Odeyemi, from entering. They protested against Odeyemi's appointment by holding banners and chanting solidarity songs.

A recent BBC investigative investigation on the alleged certificate forgery case brought by Alhaji Atiku Abubakar against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was cited by APC National Secretary Ajibola Basiru. He said that the forensic analysis carried out by the BBC investigation team confirmed President Bola Tinubu's attendance at Chicago State University. He also emphasized that the three-person BBC investigative team had verified the existence of multiple certificate formats utilized by Chicago State University. "I don't know whether you have looked at the BBC website today," he stated in a Channels TV interview.

 A recent investigative investigation by the BBC on the alleged problem of certificate fabrication filed against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu by Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has been cited by APC National Secretary, Ajibola Basiru. He said that after doing a forensic investigation, the BBC investigative team confirmed that President Bola Tinubu was a student at Chicago State University. The three-person BBC investigating team has proven that Chicago State University used multiple diploma types, he added. In a Channels TV interview, he stated, "I'm not sure if you've visited the BBC website today."

Dr. Josef Onoh, the former southeast spokesperson for President Bola Tinubu, has accused Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party's (PDP) nominee for president in 2023, of being a Cameroonian citizen with the first name "Siddiq." Onoh's accusation came after it was recently revealed that Abubakar's West Africa School Certificate has Siddiq as his first name rather than the more well-recognized Atiku.

After Atiku took his principal to Chicago State University for the President's credential to be authenticated, Tunde Rahman, President Tinubu's media aide, had questioned Atiku's certificate discrepancy. However, Atiku responded by defending his sworn statement that Siddiq Abubakar is the same person as Atiku Abubakar. However, Onoh entered the argument and stated that the real Siddiq Abubakar, whom Atiku claimed he had changed his name, is a Cameroonian, not a Nigerian. He further stated that Atiku was required to use the purportedly forged certificate and appear in person for an alleged affidavit in order to be admitted as a Nigerian to Ahmadu Bello University, ABU.

After Israel was attacked by land, sea, and air, the whole world looked on in terror. The terrorist group Hamas carried out an unexpected assault on civilian targets. Both in Israel and Gaza, the death toll is rising. The day after the attack started, Laurie stated during a sermon, "You're seeing Bible prophecy fulfilled in your lifetime, in real-time, before your very eyes." Pastor Greg Laurie Discusses the Attack on Israel's Biblical Significance In his sermon, Laurie reminded his audience that the current attack on Israel happened close to the anniversary of the Yom Kipper War, which took place in 1973 and involved "attacks by Egypt, Syria, and others on Israel."

He continued by stating that this attack was not like the one that occurred fifty years ago. Numerous individuals were abducted and killed. Additionally, they were employing techniques that resembled those of ISIS. "They specifically targeted young women, young children," Laurie continued. Laurie wrote, "They went door to door, home to home, looking for the young and the elderly." The incident was carried out by the terrorist group Hamas, which is purportedly supported by Iran. Laurie said, "We stand by the Palestinian fires until the liberation of Palestine in Jerusalem is complete." An Iranian politician praised the assaults.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a video speech to the nation on Sunday, as well as the rest of the globe. "I demand that Israel's citizenry follow the army's and Home Front Command's orders to the letter. Netanyahu declared, "We are at war, and we will prevail." Albert Mohler, the president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, attacked the Biden administration for what he saw as its facilitation of the onslaught on Israel. Five American captives were freed in exchange for the Biden administration's "unfrozen $6 billion of Iranian assets." Laurie and Mohler both think that at least some of the money was utilized to assist in financing the attack. Laurie said, "What a stupid move that is."

"How foolish it is to provide any financial support to this country that actively supports terrorism worldwide." The Biden administration asserts that Iran has not yet been granted access to the unfrozen monies and disputes the existence of any proof linking Iran to the financing of the Hamas attack. However, Laurie quoted another Iranian leader, “Is it possible for us to observe a post-American world in the context of Zionism?" "The regime that occupies Jerusalem must be wiped off the map," he said. Laurie summed up, saying, "It's interesting how it always comes back to Jerusalem." "Is the terrorist group Hamas, which receives funding from Iran, attacking Israel in fulfillment of Bible prophecy?" Laurie shared a video of his sermon with it. "I respond to that here. Additionally, as the Bible instructs, we "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem." [Psalm 122:6] Come along with me

According to Laurie, the Bible "predicted the end times would revolve around Jerusalem" thousands of years ago. For those who study Bible prophecy, here is where things become fascinating, he added. The Bible predicts that Israel will be dispersed and then reassembled in the end times. This has taken place. "The gathering of the nation of Israel in their homeland is the sign that sets the prophetic clock ticking," Laurie said, recollecting that "In 1948, Israel became a nation" following the Holocaust, which claimed the lives of six million Jews.

Laurie continued by citing Ezekiel 37 and 38, whereby it is prophesied that Israel will be attacked “from her north,” or “Magog.” This adversary, Magog, is thought by many Bible scholars to be modern-day Russia. The Bible also describes Magog's ally, Persia, which is the modern-day equivalent of Iran. Laurie stated, "The Iranians and Russians have developed a special connection only recently." "Put on your seatbelt if you wake up in the morning and see this headline: 'Russia Attacks Israel,'" Laurie advised. "You're witnessing the fulfillment of Bible prophecy in front of your very eyes, right now, during your lifetime." "So What Should We Do Now?" inquires Laurie. Though tragedy surrounded them, Laurie gave them hope.

"Look up because your redemption is near when you see these things begin to happen," said Jesus. That is what we must be doing, then. gazing upward. Laurie urged God's people to pray, even as he described the attack as "an act of pure evil and Israel has every right to defend herself." "The Bible prophesies that the Jewish people would return to their country, and they have done so. "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem," the Bible instructs us (Ps. 122:6). "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: May those who love you be secure," reads Psalm 122:6. Using this passage, Laurie urged his followers and Christians worldwide to join him in prayer for Jerusalem.

Laurie then gave specific points to pray over the land: that “they arrive at some kind of peace,” “this horrific terrorism stops,” and “they’re [Israel] able to get their hostages back.

Laurie said, "Pray for Israel's inhabitants and the several international tour groups who are present. "May God grant their Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, protection and wisdom." Laurie realized that "that's not going to replace the hundreds of lives that were lost in this unprecedented attack." Still, he led the church in prayer and kept citing the Bible. "We pray now for the peace of Jerusalem, Father, as you have instructed us to do. In accordance with what your prophecy foretold, they are your people, the Jewish people, whom you have regathered in the land, he declared.

A professor has narrated his own ordeal over the discrepancies on his certificate. Explaining to the media in the wake of the issues raised by the PDP presidential candidate's complaints over President Tinubus certificates, he said

 President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was haunted by Alhaji Atiku Abubakar's vicious and violent attacks, which is a crass display of high-grade toxicity in Nigerian politics and politics even though I am from Ibadan, Oyo State, my record at the University of Ibadan has Lagos State as my state of origin. Oyo State was listed as my state of origin on both my elementary and secondary school certificates and my NYSC documents.

When my biological father registered me for the 1973–1974 school year, my birthdate was entered as February 3, 1968, at the Wesley College Practising Primary School in Elekuro, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. My full blood sister, Alhaja Bilikisu Omoriyeba Bolarinwa, who was my parents' second child and a laboratory attendant for the Oyo State Hospital Management Board when I was in primary school, told me that she found our family record book, in which my birth date was listed as April 10, 1969. Our own standards fairly educated her.

Based on that revelation, my sister went to the school's headmaster, Pa. Odedina, who also happened to be my paternal uncle, to alter my record. As a result, my new date of birth was officially recorded as April 10, 1969. I used April 10, 1969, as my birthdate at Urban Day Grammar School in Elekuro, Ibadan, from the time I was admitted in 1980 till I graduated in 1985. When the school sent me a testimonial for my school leaving certificate in 1985, I was shocked to see that my date of birth was listed as November 10, 1969.

My attempts to persuade the school administration to alter it were all in vain. I consistently used April 10, 1969, as my date of birth when I sought for admission to the Oyo State College of Arts and Science, Ile-Ife (formerly known as Oyo State) to pursue my Higher School Certificate (HSC) studies. But as time went on, I learned from my parents and our eldest sister, Alhaja Hafsat Adebayo, the firstborn of my parents, that my father was correct when he said that my actual birthdate was February 3, 1968, as I was only seven days older than her second son, Mr. Wasiu Adebayo, my nephew, who was born on February 9, 1968.

The fact that Wasiu's naming ceremony was held the day after my own naming ceremony was confirmed by all the family members. I was the last born and the first male child of my elderly parents, thus both of our births were celebrated with tremendous ceremony, pomp, and spectacle. My own was on February 10, 1968, while Wasiu's was on February 11, 1968. Wasiu also possessed a birth certificate since his mother, my sister, was a successful live goat vendor in Oranyan market, Ibadan, and his father, a well-known socialite from Alasaro compound in Oranyan, was educated to the elementary school level.

Without a Western education, I would have most likely become a butcher or bus driver, which are common careers in Ibadanland, or at best, a Fuji musician. My grandma introduced and brought my mother and sister into the live goat trading business, which has since grown to be our family business. I should not forget to mention that some of my aburos and colleagues, who are in fact younger than me in age, like Prince Bamidele Abolarin (Super D), Kazeem Gbadamosi, SAN, and siaka Abiola Olagunju, SAN, used to taunt me, saying that I am their official birthday because I adopted April 10, 1969, as my official birthday.

What I am attempting to convey is that, had Mr. J.B. Daudu, SAN—a learned, esteemed, and professional politician—said in his Facebook post that he is a professional politician, the multiple inconsistencies in my academic records regarding the differences in my birth dates—February 3, 1968, April 10, 1969, and November 10, 1969—would have been used against me and labeled as fraudulent and/or forgeries. Additionally, the fact that Lagos State and Oyo State are my states of origin would have been utilized to defame, threaten, intimidate, haunt, and oppress me—just as Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is currently doing to his former bosom friend and "savior."

before the 2007 presidential election, when he was being unjustly persecuted and mistreated by the tyrannical and vindictive former president Olusegun Obasanjo. If my memory serves me correctly, I can confidently state, without being immodest or missing a beat, that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar would have been politically long since forgotten and relegated to the forgotten political history of Nigeria were it not for the then-very-timely interventions and support of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his allies.

Even if we assume—without denying—that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's entire academic record is phony and fraudulent, it is pertinent to pose the following question to some gullible Nigerians who are unaware of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar's current covert motivation: "What practical benefit will all those fishing expeditions and wild goose chases have for the election petition appeal that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and the PDP are currently pursuing in the Supreme Court, or even that of Mr. Peter Obi and the Labour Party, or even both appeals combined as the PDPLP/NLC appeals? The obvious solution may be found without peering into a crystal ball because, in the words of Sir Oliver Wendel Holmes, "the life of law is not logic."

There would not be gay and lesbian bishops in some Anglican churches in wealthy Western countries if the basic legal tenet—that "morality and law are not co-terminus"—had not been widely accepted. Similarly, those who point to the best international practices of Western democracies and developed countries also failed, refused, or neglected to imitate and accept those countries' legalized human rights practices regarding their open and proud practices of homosexuality, gays, and lesbianism. But since the PDP's Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and the Labour Party's Mr. Peter Obi are appealing to our nation's highest court, their cases are now under review.

As a result, I will refrain from commenting on the appropriateness of either appeal. Politicians in Nigeria ought to be reminded that there President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was haunted by Alhaji Atiku Abubakar's vicious and violent attacks, which is a crass display of high-grade toxicity in Nigerian politics and politics Despite the fact that I am from Ibadan, Oyo State, my record at the University of Ibadan has Lagos State as my state of origin.

In a deposition it gave on Tuesday, Chicago State University (CSU) said it didn't have a copy of the diploma President Bola Tinubu provided to the Independent National Electoral Commission. Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party's (PDP) candidate for president in the most recent election, had CSU disclose Tinubu's academic transcripts so that the Nigerian Supreme Court could utilize them. Tinubu's victory in the election on February 25 and the petition tribunal's declaration of Tinubu as the winner are both being contested by Abubakar.

He had contended that Tinubu should not have been allowed to run for office because of errors in the certificate he provided to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). TheCable reports that Caleb Westberg, the university registrar and deponent/witness, claimed the following about the certificate (also known as a diploma) Tinubu handed to the INEC: "The institution only possesses certifications that students didn't pick up in its custody.

Diplomas are often not kept on file by the university. The diploma that was sent to INEC is not in my hands. Additionally, he stated that "outside vendors" provide new diplomas as necessary. Diplomas are viewed in the US as essentially ceremonial papers, according to Westberg. It could be valued higher in some other nations. In the US, transcripts are more frequently relied upon than diplomas. He said that all of the certified papers originated in CSU's records.

"CSU has never previously validated any documents for anyone. It must have been manufactured since it seemed more Nigerian, the man added. "I don't know of any situation when CSU was asked to certify a paper. President Tinubu's representative, Mr. Wole Afolabi, insisted that the documents be authenticated. In response to a different query, he stated that although he had gone into Tinubu's student file and generated the documents, he was unaware that they would be certified. "I don't get involved in legal matters," he declared. It happens occasionally for data inputs to be entered incorrectly, according to Westberg.

I attended UC Berkeley and UC Irving before CSU. I'm sure there are times when data input errors happen," he remarked. The witness added that it's conceivable sellers are in charge of the certificate Tinubu gave the Nigerian Electoral Commission before to the election. "Over the years, several policies have changed. The replacement of diplomas is handled by other suppliers, he explained.

You would have to ask Tinubu why he didn't pick up his new diploma from the institution, the witness remarked in response. The only diplomas that the university is in possession of are those that students didn't pick up. Diplomas are often not kept on file by the university. Mr. Tinubu did not pick up the diploma, therefore I have it in our custody. Mr. Enahoro-Ebah was given it, he added. "He picked up the diploma submitted to INEC, so I do not have it in our possession."

He said, "I notice that he mentioned that the Nigerian president is the same guy that he ran against. Bola Tinubu took accounting classes at Southwest College. Bola Tinubu studied accounting classes when enrolled at CSU. I noticed Bola Tinubu's address listed there. CSU is not far away.

I examined the entire file to confirm that Bola Tinubu, who is currently the president of Nigeria, also attended CSU. '1952' and '1954' might have been entered incorrectly. The individual who attended CSU is the same person who attended Southwest College. Bola Tinubu consistently enrolls in the same courses at Southwest and CSU.

The social security number (SSN) inputted and shown in the Southwest transcript just after the entry "F" matches the one seen in the CSU records. One of the indicators we use to recognize kids is that. A social security number serves as a unique identification. When questioned about why he thinks the Nigerian president of today attended CSU, the witness responded that Bola Tinubu is an uncommon name in the US.

He added, "He compared the information given by the student or on behalf of the student to the entries in the file. We think the current president of Nigeria is the same Bola Tinubu who studied at CSU. Allegations have been made that the Tinubu who was admitted to CSU was a woman. According to the CSU witness, Tinubu applied to the institution as a man, and a man was given a letter of admission.

"Mr. Tinubu's records had information indicating that he was a man. I saw the CSU application. Mr. Tinubu declared that he was a man. He was identified as a man in his admissions letter. 'Dear Mr. Tinubu,' it begins. According to an item on the APC website, President Bola Tinubu was born on March 29, 1952, in Lagos. "I am unable to comment since I do not possess a copy of the diploma that was submitted to INEC.

I'm not aware of the fact that he claimed a different nationality or date of birth on the form he submitted to INEC. Yes, according to our records, he was born on March 29. '1954' appears on one, whereas '1952' appears on the other.  People do occasionally make errors while entering such information.
