Olisa Agbakoba on the 29th of September 1999 slammed the Nigerian press 📰 for not putting enough time on Tinubu certificate FORGERY!

The interview was published by Bayo Onanuga PM News; the same Bayo Onanuga!

If truly we all desire a better Nigeria 🇳🇬, the only thing we should have respect, regard and honour for is the TRUTH and not these men of yesterday who are now affected by dementia.

DOCUMENT: Tinubu currently has four dates of birth, as 1950 surface on UK Companies House

Tinubu’s date of birth on his passport says 1952, on his transcript, it reads 1954; meanwhile, on his Chicago State University (CSU) application it says 1955; and now in a company registered in his name in the United Kingdom it reads 1950.

A SATIRE FOR TINUBU — by Dele Farotimi 🔥

Without Tinubu, I wouldn't have known that we can have fake Bishops. I wouldn't have known that some men I thought were honourable are not honourable men.

Without Tinubu, I wouldn't have lost half the people I grew up with, and thought were my friends. People I discovered were largely ethno religious jingoists. They're not only Yorubas, but Igbos, Hausas and people from the length and breadth of Nigeria.

If Tinubu were to be a man whose ev!l was ambiguous, one of those people it was possible to say, "maybe, he was not really bad", it would have been very easy for them to continue pontificating and sounding like men of God.

But the fact that the man is so clearly and unrepentantly ev!l, and they have found accommodation for him... and they are the ones excusing the ev!l, explaining the ev!l, looking to normalise the ev!l, they don't even mind taking off their own garments of honour to cloak a filthy felon.

I thank God for Tinubu. Without Tinubu, I wouldn't have known the things I know today.

Some people I thought were gods have been revealed to be men.

How would we have known how useless our judiciary is if not for Tinubu?

Tinubu has been a fantastic thing for Nigeria. So now we know that some men who used to pontificate about honesty, that honesty doesn't matter to them. Men who used to talk about citizenship, freedom, electoral rights — these things don't matter to them. I mean, if not for Tinubu, how would I know?

SOME MEN WOULD HAVE GONE TO THEIR GRAVES WITH HONOUR IF NOT FOR TINUBU! Do you know how many people Tinubu has turned naked?

No ooh, I am thankful for Tinubu!

My Response to His Royal Majesty, Ooni of Ife About His Speech that the Igbo Race Migrated from Ile-Ife.

I am Maazị Ogbonnaya Okoro, an Igbo linguist and cultural advocate. I read from the Vanguard News published on 8th October, 2023 about the Ooni's speech on history, with a claim that the Igbo race migrated from Ile-Ife. It is a good attempt to speak about the correlation between the Igbo and Yoruba which the verifiable evidence could be traced to the fact that both have linguistic similarities and features to an extent, and belong to the same language family which is proto-kwa, grouped under Niger-Congo phylum.

First and foremost, the Igbo race is diverse. The Igbo were sojourners and travelers who lived in different places for years and contributed to the economic development of any place they found themselves.

I understand that angle he is coming from as regard the Ife case. In Igbo Studies, it's called Igbo recoil. The Igbo who lived in different parts, especially the western part of today's Nigeria, trying to move back home. Some had a stop at Benin. Some continued their journeys and stopped at different places, down to Ọnịcha Ado and other Igbo hinterland. The case of Eze Chima who moved out from the Benin and founded many places in Anịọma and present Ọnịcha Ado is related to the same Ife story.

Now, about the Igbo race, they didn't migrate from Ife in its entirety and settle where they are now. Some sojourners who still travel till date always return home, some don't at all, they live there and multiply. This is why the argument about Ile-Igbo as Ooni posited as evidence to prove Igbo rootedness in Ile-Ife is not enough to show the Igbo race migrated from there.

Let's start with some historical and archeological facts about the Igbo.

Smelting of iron in Igbo land for instance began prehistorically. From the artefacts found in Leja in Nsụka, smelting of iron in that place was backdated 2000 BC. The first recorded iron smelting site in the world. This was even long before Europeans knew about iron smelting. The Igbo have seen road and existed in Igbo land.

Apart from Leja, other places known for iron smelting prehistorically include: Opi, Akụ, Obimo, Ọbụkpa, Owere Elu etc. These communities are in Nsụka only. We are yet to talk about other areas.

The historic nature of the Igbo wowed the western world in that they have to try everything possible to hide some information. Archeologists have dug out various artifacts regarding the Igbo in various places and I see no reason to doubt those who say that ndị Igbo bụ ndị gboo. Meaning the Igbo are the ancient people.

Talk about Nsude pyramid in Udi that backdated the Egyptian pyramid.

Talk about blacksmithing of Nkwere and Ọka. Nkwere makes gun which earned them the motto and slogan: "Nkwere Ọpiegbe". With blacksmith, Ọka produced gun known as "Awka made" by some persons. The Igbo used it for hunting not for killling.

Is it pot making? Ishiagụ are known for pottery that's why they are called Ishiagụ Ọkpụite. Is it the textile industry? The artefacts in Uturu will wow you to see that they had been existing in their land and still traveled out for more adventure and business. Are we talking about the Okpoto in the present day Ebọnyị State that believed to be an ancient spiritual people in Igbo land?

Igbo is deep and wide. There were aboriginals and those you refer to as migrants were travelers who returned home.

Let me get back to the argument: Ooni said and I quote him verbatim: "We have good evidence to believe that Igbo race has its roots here in Ile-Ife. There is Ile-Igbo here in the palace which was not a recent creation but has been existing here for decades."

If going by this statement, it means that some ndị Igbo were amongst the early inhabitants and founders of Ile-Ife. Since he said there is Ile-Igbo in the palace which proves his point that the Igbo had a root in Ife,

You think you are fighting against Tinubu? No, you aren’t.
You are fighting forces, principalities & powers in high places. That’s the truth

Do you think it is normal for a PhD holder, a Professor & well educated people to come out to say “even if he forged nko”, “so what?”, “it’s his leadership style we need”, and so on.

It’s not normal, it’s a spell…
No amount of money can make me say stuffs like that no matter how much I love you. It only takes a spell for one to do that.

Y’all are wrestling against flesh & blood, reason this will go under the bridge too if we ain’t careful.
@DavidHundeyin has done his best, which would take another generation for anyone to achieve that which he has; however, if this whole CSU matter would produce any result, it doesn’t lie with the judiciary, trust me, they don’t mind tainting the country black & smelly for the world to see; it depends on you & I.

REVEALED: Mr Caleb Westberg, CSU’s registrar since November 2020, said that Mr Tinubu did not apply for a replacement certificate, nor was he ever issued one -

Mr Caleb Westberg, the registrar at Chicago State University, during the deposition that lasted about 5.5 hours said Mr Tinubu’s certificate, dated June 22, 1979, and tendered to INEC on June 17, 2022, was not issued by the school and its administrators could, therefore, not be able to authenticate its source.

[Maazị Ogbonnaya Okoro @maazi_ogbonnaya]

When you hear the Igbo call someone with excess money "onye nwere ego igwe", what comes to your kind? These were Igbo currencies before the foreigners introduced their own paper money to us. Remember, our ancestors smithed irons and metals before the first European touched here.

Contrary to what they tried to force us believe, we had our civilization before they came. We produced everything we used then. When they came, we only exchanged things. They gave us their products, we exchanged them with ours.

Remember, oyibo didn't introduce clothing to us. There were local fabrics and rubber trees around us. Of course, people used to be naked before, but there was certain age one had to cover with locally made fabrics. That being said, innovation and sharing of ideas happened.

Let me not digress from the import of this article...

What you see here are called "okpogho". The whiteman tagged it as "bracelet manilla"

Another Igbo word for it is "ego igwe" (iron-money)

Iron is smithened to form it. It's of different types. Each has currency discrepancy.

What do I mean? They measure the high currency base on different factors. It could be the weight, the design. The more weightier it's, the more valuable.

When someone is rich today people will say: "o nwere ego igwe". It is because of this currency. Or you will hear "o nwere okpogho/,okpogo" (he's wealthy
