probably the war could account for the missing years.

BlackSEER:

He is better than the crying general that didn't see the four walls of
primary school.By the way,is it not apc E-warriors that were shouting
that certificates doesn't matter when it comes to governance?

makzeze:
Mugu, which war are you referring to? Biafran war had not started then.

Erm.....this post is a bit riddiculous.

I have a mate who repeated a year in primary school. He ended up spending seven years in primary school and graduated at the top of his class. He is now an engineer.

So, even if President Jonathan repeated, or had to take WAEC 20 times....does it mean he is a dullard?Or does it mean that he did not give up on his studies in the face of failure?

I am not a fan of this administration, but this post is completely ridiculous,

SeverusSnape:

No, By then there were no private schools.

Bridgetown:

Jonathan is someone's dad that is being abused here too. Lame.

SuperMartins:
if u look into such a guy's history,he has no history..all the buhari supporters av to offer is try to destroy presido's good name cos their master has none..
No matter how they go abt it,Buhari mxt cry again..

bushdoc9919:


They were....mainly Mission schools.

But they were also affected by wartime closures too.

If the guy was one exceptional leader like that, nobody would send even if he spent 15yrs in primary school. But its the same Jonathan that isn't even confident enough to address a press conference or maintain eye contact during an interview, and that is married to an illiterate.
I agree with the OP's scrutiny of his academic qualifications. The guy may have a Phd, but he's always struck me as an unintelligent person. We should even go further and search for his PhD thesis and scrutinise. Its possible that Nigeria is being run by a slowpoke that has no business at the helm of our affairs. ...by Duni04- perfect response to your post

Carinaflo:
It's hard for me to believe that someone that graduated from the university with second class honours (UPPER DIVISION) failed ordinary primary school reapetedly. Many other factors must have delayed his primary education; and for those of you shouting "zoology, zoology", do you actually think that zoology is an easy course to study in the uni?

bushdoc9919:


It is most likely his PhD is the genuine article....back in those days, PhD's tended to be strictly scrutinized (Me dad was a university lecturer, and got his PhD back then....though from a foreign university. Speaking of those days, he mentioned that standards were higher...and strictly enforced). Standards were a lot higher....plus you had the faculties and access to the latest journals in those days (until the oil price crash of the 80's made it difficult for most universities).

waleadex:

My comment is brief but insightful. Spending 8yrs for FSLC means he was below average as a student. That said,he still managed to obtain PhD which is no "beans". GEJ is such a blessed politician and divinely destined as no.1 man in Nigeria. I am in no way his supporter but I like to be realistic at all times.

While going through President Jonathan's CV, I found out he spent 8-9 years in Primary School. He definitely failed repeatedly before moving to another class.

Also it is also noticeable that he did not make the minimum credit in WAEC, he had to take GCE to complete the minimum credit requirement to study Zoology University of Port Harcourt.

nationwide1:
He can't be interested in 2nd upper hon. If it was 3rd class or pass he would have been interested. For him PhD is beans yet he forgets that Buhari was a total failure according to a close colleague, IBB.

OrlandoOwoh:

Could you give us the link where IBB said Buhari failed?

egift:


Truck-Pusher, your insults make you look very tiny in your low self esteem. Jonathan has been failing and is still a failure presiding over a "Stealing-Is-Not-Corruption" of an administration.

ofiafuluego:

How many yrs did your father spend as a bicycle repairer apprentice 10yrs I guess

sufido123:
At least GEJ is not threatening to soak the dogs and baboon in Blood of Nigerians

egift:


My beloved Fire just shut up. You were one of those questioning Buhari's qualifications. Now that the truth is out, we now know that Jonathan spent 8-9 years in Primary school alone and was also unable to get 4-5 credits in his WAEC.

Jonathan's entire academic adventures is Zoo! Zoo!! Zoo!!!
