Recently, Nigerians residing in the United Kingdom staged a protest against BBCAfrica. The protesters accused the media outlet of covering up the Bola Tinubu certificate scandal. They claimed that Bola Tinubu is an unknown person with no clear heritage. This raises questions about why BBCAfrica seems to be supporting a failing Nigerian state, why they concealed the truth about Tinubu's certificate, and what steps the average Nigerian can take to safeguard themselves in a faltering Nigerian system.
