Human nature often leads people to embrace their opinions and desires, irrespective of factual evidence. This inclination highlights how personal preferences and biases can sway one's perception and acceptance of information, occasionally causing them to prioritize wishes over established truths.
It underscores the intricate interplay between emotions and rationality in human decision-making, emphasizing how desires can shape beliefs and actions.
The BBC has vindicated Tinubu in the controversy surrounding President Bola Tinubu's academic records, addressing key points that exonerate him from allegations of forging his college diploma:
The BBC's Global Disinformation Team found no evidence supporting claims that President Tinubu's diploma submitted to Nigeria's electoral commission was forged.
President Tinubu's academic records were released due to a legal case initiated by his political rival, Atiku Abubakar, who accused him of diploma falsification.
Chicago State University (CSU) provided various diplomas similar to President Tinubu's in response to legal requests.
Discrepancies between the diplomas submitted to INEC and those released by CSU were attributed to diploma re-issuance in the 1990s and evolving diploma templates.
Claims that CSU diplomas lack the phrase "with honors" were debunked, as President Tinubu's diploma from the early 2000s contained this phrase.
Allegations that a person named Bola A Tinubu who attended CSU was female were refuted, with CSU confirming the student's male identity.
Discrepancies in birth dates and secondary school attendance were attributed to possible human error.
Despite presenting these facts, some Nigerians still cling to the belief that the President forged his certificate. However, it's time for the country to move forward, leaving behind these distractions filled with hatred, and focusing on demanding effective government performance."
What is wrong with Nigerians?The issuance of the Diploma said the certificate was not issued by them and here is a foreign body confirming it's authenticacy.How can NTA confirm that my certificate is forged or genuine?Is BBC a certificate verifying company?
