FUTO’s Comical Litigious Terrorist Threat Against ASUU

I’ve just read that the crooks at the Fraudsters’ University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO), led by their VC, Nnenna Oti, have sued ASUU for advising the university to rescind its fraudulent award of an unmerited, political
fraudfessorship to Isa Ali Pantami who hasn’t even met the basic criteria that FUTO’s governing board has established for appointment or promotion to professorship, which is 12 years of post-PhD teaching and research experience. American defamation lawyers call FUTO’s shameful
legal antic “Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation” (SLAPP). I call it litigious terrorism. As I wrote elsewhere in the past, litigious terrorism is the intentional intimidation, coercion, or instilling of fear in journalists and critics through frivolous lawsuits that
are designed to shut down scrutiny of plaintiffs’ questionable lives. What FUTO did by appointment Pantami a “professor” is clearly a violation of its own laws. It’s also a violation of federal laws, which forbid dual employment by a person within the same federal government.
It is the fraudsters at FUTO who should be sued. But, Nigeria being what it is, it the fraudsters that are instead suing conscientious people who're calling attention to their fraud. Good gracious!FUTO’s VC also asked barely literate lawyers to send me a cease-and-desist letter
that was so riddled with unspeakably embarrassing grammatical errors & infantile legal reasoning that I thought it was a prank by a comedian. It actually made me laugh. I realized it wasn’t a prank when I was mailed a copy of the letter at my place of work. But the idiots haven’t
gone ahead to sue months after I refused to take down the articles they complained about on my blog and social media pages.The fraudsters at FUTO want to cower people into silence and muzzle public conversation about their daylight fraud. But we will not allow them.
Pantami's promotion or appointment to professor at FUTO is shameless, in-your-face abuse of political power, and people of conscience will continue to call attention to it for as long as it exists.

Why I’ll Continue to Call FUTO a Fraudsters’ University
A couple of well-meaning alumni of the Federal University of Technology, Owerri, reached out to me & requested that I spare them the embarrassment of calling their alma mater the Fraudsters’ University of Technology, Owerri.
They have my sympathy, but here’s why I won’t stop calling FUTO a treacherous den of conscienceless intellectual fraudsters. It has nothing to do with the graduates of the school, many of whom have distinguished themselves in their fields and are a pride not just to their school
but also to Nigeria. It has everything to do with the school’s vacuous and mercenary Vice Chancellor— who sold a “professorship” to a vain, insecure, emotionally unstable, psychologically damaged kook— and with the gormless idiots in ASUU FUTO who endorsed, justified, & defended

We Should Thank ASUU on Pantami’s Fraudfessorship
I woke up to the news that the national leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has finally officially endorsed what I’ve proved conclusively in a series of articles: that Isa Ali Ibrahim’s appointment as
“professor” of cybersecurity at the Federal University of Technology, Owerri, is fraudulent, unmerited, a crying violation of well-established protocols, and should be rescinded forthwith. ASUU should be thanked because I can guarantee anyone reading this that they must have
resisted enormous financial and political pressures to publicize this. I know this because Pantami & his PR team have expended millions of naira to bribe journalists to not expose his fraud, to cajole random unprincipled academics to endorse it, to purchase the silence of people

Tinubu is sick, very sick!
When I read about the widely circulated scatological disaster that allegedly happened to Tinubu when he flew to Minna on Jan. 20 to seek IBB's blessings for his presidential run, I dismissed it as probably a made-up anecdote by his political opponents.
Then came the video of Tinubu in what appears like a mortifying urinary calamity at the palace of the Awujale of Ijebuland on Saturday, and there's now no doubt that Tinubu is way sicker than we ever thought--and than Buhari has ever been. In a serious country, this should put
paid to his presidential ambitions. I hope his wife-- and people who truly love him-- will be kind enough to advise him to stop subjecting himself to further public humiliation by giving up his presidential ambition and going to take care of his health. I may die before him, but

Another ASUU Strike?
So, ASUU is going on another strike that will maim the dreams, hopes, and aspirations of our young people, and Education Minister Adamu Adamu is sitting pretty in his easy chair as if nothing is going badly amiss?
And my friend Isa Ali Pantami who loves the
glory of academia so much that he went out of his way to beg FUTO to confer an unearned professorial title on him is also pretending not to see as the university system is about to collapse completely before his eyes. He loves the bragging rights that come with being called a
"professor" but not the sacrifice it takes to save the university system whose highest titular glory he swanks. Adamu Adamu and Pantami are far and away the closest ministers to Buhari. They can get the regime to meet ASUU's demands and save what remains of our universities if

Fraudsters’ University of Technology Owerri (FUTO)

In this ongoing Pantamized fraudfessorial saga, the Federal University of Technology, Owerri, which I’ve chosen to rechristen as the “Fraudsters’ University of Technology Owerri” until it rescinds its fraudulent appointment to
Pantami, isn’t getting the deserved censure its fraud invites. In an interview with Saturday Tribune (tribuneonlineng.com/why-we-made-pa…), FUTO’s registrar by the name of John Nnabuihe spouted many outrageous inaccuracies that has caused me to question the very academic integrity of the
entire university. First, he said Pantami was an “Associate Professor” at the Islamic University of Madinah. He wasn’t. Saudi Arabia’s university system is modelled after the American system, and the minimum number of years required to be promoted to an associate professor from

Prof. Tukur Sa’ad’s Obfuscation on Pantami’s Professorial Fraud
Someone called my attention to a response to my interventions on Pantami’s FUTO professorial fraud. It was supposedly written by a certain Professor Sa’ad Tukur who identifies himself as “a former Vice Chancellor.”
The long and short of the article is that non-academics with industry experience can be appointed to professorships. Haven’t I written exactly that in all my interventions? Has the man even read my articles before writing his?Or is he just engaging in what logicians call strawman
argumentation, that is, inventing a weak or sham argument that your opponent didn’t make in order to easily refute it? But Sa’ad undermined his own “defense” of Pantami’s fraud by admitting that, “I’m not saying Pantami can fit into the examples I gave.” So, why did he write?
