Nigerian President’s CSU Diploma is a Fake

-
This story sheds light on the concerning state of corruption in Nigeria, simultaneously evoking both astonishment and amusement. Nigerian President Bola Tinubu presented what appears to be a counterfeit diploma from Chicago State University to an election board in Nigeria, asserting that he graduated from the institution in 1979. While CSU officials have acknowledged his attendance at the university, they are unable to verify the legitimacy of the diploma, which has now become a subject of federal court proceedings.

U.S. District Judge Nancy Maldonado recently issued a stay order, preventing CSU officials from having to disclose documents confirming or refuting President Tinubu's claims. This matter has embroiled CSU in an international political controversy, with Tinubu's political adversaries and many Nigerian citizens demanding his removal from office, even though he was elected to lead the country in February.

The core issue is the questionable authenticity of the diploma itself. On this purported diploma, the graduation date is stated as June 27, 1979, and it bears the signature of CSU President Elnora D. Daniel. However, this discrepancy raises eyebrows, as Dr. Daniel did not assume the presidency of Chicago State until 1998. Additionally, the diploma lists Dr. Niva Lubin as the President of the Board of Trustees, but she didn't join the board until 1996. These inconsistencies are striking, as I can personally vouch for Dr. Lubin's long-standing residency in Chatham, where I grew up.

Furthermore, in 1979, Dr. Daniel's records indicate that she was working as a teaching assistant at Columbia University, a fact corroborated by her biography and resume submitted during her 1998 application for the presidency of Chicago State. Dr. Benjamin H. Alexander, who passed away in 1997, was the actual President of CSU in 1979 and holds the distinction of being the first African American to hold that role at the university.

However, the Nigerian leader appealed to Judge Nancy Maldonado to block the disclosure of further details, including: gender and registration details of the person holding the certificate.Mr. Tinubu's prayers on Monday morning were part of ongoing litigation in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in Chicago.

Victory by the narrowest margin in the history of Nige...
