Good Morning, Transactions will bring you money, relationships will make you a fortune
It Is Working.... - Abraham Great
Mimi,
This controversy deserves a more objective examination. Questioning aspects of President Bola Tinubu's biography is one thing. Insisting that he never attended Chicago State University, or that his identity is entirely fabricated, is quite another.
A man may dispute the ownership of a house, but he cannot insist the house does not exist when its foundations, occupants and records are before him.
1. Identity
Tinubu did not fall from heaven. He was born, lived among people, attended institutions, worked and entered public life. Allegations about his identity have circulated for decades, yet where is the independently verifiable evidence that he is someone else? As the Yoruba say, "Bí a bá ń sọ̀rọ̀, ká máa fi ẹ̀rí sọ̀rọ̀." Let our assertions carry evidence. Suspicion may begin an investigation, but it cannot replace its conclusion.
2. Names
People change or rearrange their names for cultural, religious, marital and personal reasons. A change of name is not proof of impersonation. A river may carry different names through different communities and still be the same river.
3. The American records
Chicago State University's records identify Bola A. Tinubu as attending from August 1977 to June 1979 and graduating in 1979. In 2023 the university produced these records under a United States federal court order, and an official gave sworn testimony. Questions were raised about a particular diploma submitted in Nigeria, and those questions deserve acknowledgement. But a disputed certificate and the underlying academic record are not the same question. If the registrar confirms a student graduated, the investigator examines the records; the propagandist simply repeats that the student never existed.
4. History and family
Tinubu served in the Senate in the early 1990s and was part of the democratic struggle after the annulment of June 12. I knew Chief MKO Abiola personally; I was his neighbour and ate in his home. Before Tinubu became Governor, I also worked abroad with Professor Ropo Sekoni, one of his close pro-democracy associates. These recollections are not documentary evidence, but they explain my scepticism towards claims of wholesale fabrication.
Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji, publicly recognised as his mother, was a prominent Lagos market leader, and relatives and associates have long identified their relationships with him. A tree is known by its roots as well as its name. If someone disputes the tree, examine the roots; do not declare the tree imaginary.
5. Scrutiny versus speculation
Confidence is not evidence. A thousand people repeating an allegation do not make it fact; echoes make a voice louder, not truer. The same standard must apply to Tinubu, Atiku, Obi or anyone else. Demanding evidence only when our opponent is accused is selective scepticism, not objectivity.
I am not suggesting that President Tinubu should be exempt from scrutiny. Public office demands transparency, accountability and the highest standards of integrity. But we must distinguish established facts, unresolved questions, personal testimony and unsubstantiated allegations. Chicago State University has confirmed his attendance and graduation.
If questions remain about his early life, let them be investigated responsibly. The sun does not stop shining because a man closes his eyes, yet closing one's eyes to genuine questions does not make them disappear. Truth requires both courage and fairness.
When you are at the top, you become the topic. But being the topic should never make facts optional. Political disagreement is legitimate and scrutiny is necessary, but propaganda is not investigation, suspicion is not proof, and repetition is not verification.

Another comeback is possible for Man U, today.

Marco Rubio knew Trump very well. It's amazing that everything he predicted since 2016 came to be. Unfortunately, he fell into that trap.
Too bad you ignored your own advice, Marco
Happy birthday to me.
Before I had a name, before I had a body, my Orí had already chosen the shape of this life. That was the first gift. The second is time, the trust in which to bring it to pass.
Through the pit, the delay, the silence, the drought, my Orí has not abandoned me. I am still here. Still breathing. Still becoming.
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I set you apart." (Jeremiah 1:5)
I am not where I want to be. But I am not where I was. Grateful, thankful, and focused on the next tier.

You go around threatening to claim territories and properties that belong to others. You speak of removing other people’s leaders, as though sovereignty were yours to grant or withdraw. You even seek to appropriate recognition and honours bestowed upon others.
When a leader becomes obsessed with possessing what belongs to others, insulting anyone who questions the justification, what exactly are we being asked to admire?
How can we celebrate leadership that treats intimidation as strength, aggression as diplomacy and the suffering of others as an acceptable price for political ambition?
In what world does bullying everyone except those who flatter or submit to you become a virtue?
May I never become so blinded by political loyalty that I lose the courage to recognise wrongdoing. Such conduct is repulsive to everything I understand about responsible leadership.
The world is not perfect. No political party is perfect. No government, ideology or system is without its failures.
But surely, we have not lost the meaning of goodness, kindness, courtesy, diplomacy, decorum, honesty, integrity and decency.
We cannot have it all, but we must not lack it all.
We may disagree about policies, political philosophies and national interests. But we should never have to abandon our conscience to defend a leader.
Loyalty should not require moral blindness. Patriotism should not demand the surrender of our humanity.
I do not care which political side anyone belongs to. But I care profoundly about the character of those I choose to follow.
For me, leadership without character is merely power without conscience.
It is working…
Magnanimity must define the Democrats’ attitude after their victory.
After a bitter season, a party repeatedly demonised for its positions on minority rights, immigration and social justice has regained control of Congress.
Democrats have their excesses, and I disagree with some of their positions, particularly on LGBTQ issues and abortion. But disagreement over moral questions is no licence for demonisation, misinformation or denying another person’s humanity.
Both parties have work to do. Democrats must show that their policies serve the whole population; Republicans must answer longstanding concerns about inequality, racial division and policies seen as favouring the wealthy.
Victory is a trust, not a trophy. Petulance would waste it; magnanimity will keep it.
Where evidence and constitutional standards justify investigation or impeachment, let it proceed without fear or favour. But accountability must never become vengeance.
America needs a recalibration of leadership: diplomatic maturity restored, constitutional principles honoured, and hostility toward longstanding allies replaced by dialogue. This is not the America the world once looked to for democratic leadership.
Those who pursue aggressive agendas sometimes dismiss their critics as unable to grasp the supposed brilliance of the strategy. But nothing replaces respect, honour and love for one’s neighbour.
Power without restraint is dangerous. Victory without humility is hollow. Leadership without humanity is a contradiction.
One of the most remarkable results of this cycle is the decisive re-election of Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. Despite sustained attacks and allegations that remain unproven, her constituents gave her an overwhelming mandate.
Some critics have used her Somali heritage, Muslim faith and immigrant background to question her legitimacy; others have treated disputed claims about her conduct as settled fact. Yet voters keep returning her.
We cannot say the attacks caused her success, only that sustained hostility does not guarantee rejection at the ballot box. Nor is her support explained by the claim that her district is full of immigrants from her birthplace. Minnesota’s 5th District is far more complex than that.
Omar, like every representative, must answer to the law and to her constituents. But allegations are not convictions, disagreement is not a crime, and no official should be denied dignity or due process.
Politics turns dangerous when accusations become facts merely because they are repeated loudly.
Humanity asks for less hostility toward immigrants, people of colour, religious minorities and the poor. No nation grows great by diminishing those who come seeking refuge or a better life. We can defend national security without abandoning compassion, and enforce immigration law without humiliating immigrants.
The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof. No race is inherently superior, no nationality confers greater worth, and no party holds a monopoly on patriotism, wisdom or virtue.
Leadership is measured not by the power to command or defeat, but by the capacity to inspire confidence, uphold justice, practise restraint and protect the vulnerable.
A leader who cannot honour people, the law and the dignity of opponents has misunderstood leadership itself.
The Democrats now have the chance to show that power can be held with maturity. Let accountability come without vindictiveness, justice without persecution, and diplomacy before needless confrontation. Let magnanimity be the character of this victory.
Victory demands responsibility. Accountability demands fairness. Democracy demands magnanimity. And humanity demands love.

Gina Hinojosa has won the Texas governorship.
There will be major celebrations across Texas.
I wonder why the Bushes are so silent in this election.
My issue is that when I pray for Man United. They don't say amen. @dolawanle @Mario9jaa
I said it before halftime
I hope what is happening to Man United is not about to happen to the Republican Party today.
What if Man United come back in second and have to draw or win the game? What if the expected Blue wave doesn't happen, and the Republicans keep hold of Congress?
DT would laugh tire.
If Man United win, after going 0-2 down, I will fear for the Democrats tonight.
Blue wave here I come. Shepe Democrat will win 52/48 minimum and 232 majority in the house to the least?

The 14-year hoodoo at Anfield is broken. Arsenal took down a Liverpool side with much depth on their own turf. Big up to Arteta and his team.
Arsenal now know exactly how to manage, suffer and close out the biggest football matches. This restores a winning mentality.
The next giant Arteta needs to bring down is winning the Champions League. He has beaten Luis Enrique before, so that is not the goal.
As an @Arsenal fan, one of the greatest skills you acquire over the years is the art of managing expectations.
After years of monitoring Arsenal with a BP machine beside your television, you eventually learn that emotional stability is more important than three points. 😂
We know Anfield is not exactly our ancestral home of victories. But we also know that we can draw or lose there and still win the Premier League. And if everything else fails, we can at least finish above Manchester United. That, too, is a trophy of sorts! 😂
Bí ẹkún bá pé di alẹ́, ayọ̀ ń bọ̀ l’òwúrọ̀.
Even if weeping lasts through the night, joy comes in the morning.
One glorious day, we shall win at Anfield, lift the Premier League trophy and conquer Europe by winning the Champions League. All in the same season!
Until then, we continue to trust the process.
And hopefully, our wives can learn something from Arsenal supporters: manage your expectations. Just because you lost the last five games doesn’t mean you cannot win the next five! 😂
Patience is a virtue. Hope is a strategy. And selective memory is a survival skill.
Trust the process.
COYG!

Most of you know this story, but none of you have heard it from me.
Back in September 2018, Femi Hamzat wanted to be Governor of Lagos State. He had thirteen years of public service under Asiwaju and BRF, with the record and backing to win. Then party leaders asked him to step aside for me.
It takes a rare man to put down what he wants without nursing a grudge. Femi shook my hand and five weeks later, agreed to run beside me. I have never forgotten that.
Anyone can read a CV but only the person in the room with a man when the cameras leave can tell you who he really is. For 2,711 days, I have been in that room with him.
When COVID-19 hit, when we faced our hardest weeks, when the Blue and Red Lines ran and when the Lekki Deep Sea Port opened, Femi was there. Long before any ribbon was cut, he was asking the tough questions an engineer asks.
In many states, deputies are kept in reserve. On day one, Femi promised to be the best deputy governor in Lagos history. He kept his word. In seven years, there has not been a single day I wondered whose side he was on. We have had one government, one direction, and one voice.
Lagos runs on a relay system. The baton is never passed to a runner standing still. You run at full speed inside the exchange zone, together, before the pass. That is how Lagos has been governed for 27 years, from Asiwaju to BRF, to Ambode, to me.
Femi is a deputy governor like no other. He built the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge under Fashola, digitized government under Asiwaju and holds a doctorate in engineering. His father served Lateef Jakande. This is in his blood.
Critics say Lagos keeps choosing from the same pool. I say Lagos trains its people. With major projects underway and a master plan stretching to 2052, this is not the time to experiment. What Femi presents today is not a campaign promise cooked up on a bus, it is the next leg of a race we have been running since 1999.
Lagos does not hand the baton to a man standing still. Today, you have seen the man who is already running. Let us move forward together with The Lagos PROMISE.
Could PO be APC’s VP candidate in 2031?
Possible?

Sometimes, you don’t need to argue. Just watch the movement, connect the dots, and let time do the talking.
