Nigerians should have settled this Tinubu's certificate forgery matter in 1999. But some people who thought they were doing Bola Tinubu a favor helped him to cover things up. Where are those people now? Twenty-four years later, it is back. This time, it is bigger and darker. In its wake, it is leaving a massive stain on all Nigerians. By the time the FBI and the US Justice Department release more information on Tinubu, what remains of the emperor's robe would have been off – to the shame of every man or woman of conscience. "Nigeria is bigger than any of us," said Atiku Abubakar, who flew into Nigeria to pressure Nigerian authorities to do something about the new information about Bola Tinubu out of Chicago State University and the subsequent deposition. In the US, radical Republicans kicked out their speaker in the US House of Representatives. It is the first time in the history of the US that the speaker was booted out this way. What does that say about democracy?
