The Nigerian President is not the only prominent figure who has been caught plagiarizing, here are 5 others:

2. US Vice President Joe Biden: Biden was accused of plagiarizing a speech earlier given by Neil Kinnock of the British Labour Party during the 1988 presidential elections. Biden was eventually forced to withdraw from the race.
3. Hungarian President Pal Schmitt: Schmitt was accused of copying his dissertation for the University of Physical Education. The university stripped the president of his doctorate, and he eventually resigned after the saga.
4. Russian President Vladimir Putin: Putin was accused of stealing 16 out of 20 pages from a University of Pittsburgh paper for his economics dissertation.
