The earlier statement by the military that every officer's credentials is a general statement, upon investigation, they discovered that Buhari's only credential is mere "RECOMMENDATION LETTER" letter from a secondary school principal.
The question is, what qualified him to enter the Army in the first place.

gboss4sure:
Buhari didnt sat for any wasc exam nor does he have any certificate to show us.

I have downloaded all the documents on Premium times, the only thing I could find was a statement from his principal and I quote" I consider that he (Buhari) will pass west African school certificate" He didn't even take the exam talkless of passing. The principal just considered that he will pass.



Apc and Buhari shouldn't take us for fools.

So we should start making use of our principals recommendations instead of our certificates right? APC and Buhari is insulting us. enough is enough. I didn't spend over 15yrs in school studying hard and harder to get all my certificates for an idiott to come and tell me how certificates doesn't matter again. Thunder fire em all there

thank you my Brother,that is why I always wonder if those so-called APC noisy supporters ever attend tertiary institution.Because if they do,they would have known how stressful it was to obtain certificates.

Shame to enemies of change.

Buhari will be President, like it or not.

FeBuhari 2015

My vote is for GMB. Full stop.

shigoslim:
Failbuhari must present us his certificate. We don't want fake, give us the original. WAEC pls dnt compromise afterall i sat for WAEC six time before i pass. Why would semi illiterate rule us @dz 21st century? What will then be the gain of literacy Nigerian?

Backward nver forward ever......

you sat for WAEC 6 times?
little wonder you are still a simpleton. if fair is fair, you shouldn't be posting on this matter. this discourse is intellectually out of your league.

Ooooooohhhh, where is juliann naaaa? Come and help me tell this people GEJ till 2019

GBM Provide the photocopy of your certificate and your exams details of the WAEC GMB that you wrote in 1961 should be taken to WAEC to trace and confirm the authenticity. I believe GBM don't have the certificate and I hate all this gimmick. GBM is a man who can get in touch with WAEC head office and with his level, the verification can be done for him. So I am so amazed that GMB is making the certificate issue too cumbersome I think the more he delays, Nigerians will continue to doubt his claim. This is not the change we seek. Come out plain and stop this hide and seek game of yours.

coogar:


and why can't INEC order WAEC to fish out buhari's results? surely, WAEC has a copy of his certificates buried somewhere. why don't we ever do things appropriately in nigeria?

Why are you like this?

Sometimes we should try to have an open mind.

For example.
You are applying for a job, and before You are allowed to go for the exam, there is a verification board that you MUST!!! Submit your documents to.
Now is it the responsibility of the board to go searching for what you didn't submit? OR its your duty to provide this information.

Instead of providing this info you decided to go to court to swear an affidavit that your documents are with your past employer.
Now your Family and Friends because they really want you to get this job have requested for your documents from them, just to realise that your documents aren't complete. Now you are asking the Board to go search for your certificate.

and the man PDP decided to field is a rëtard. it was under his tenure boko haram rose from being ordinary street miscreants to a global terrorist organisation.

250 girls are still missing & he has proffered no solution to find them. an oyibo man in his shoes would have voluntarily resigned over that incident alone - but GEJ has no shame just like his idïotic supporters like yourself.

Boko haram you say? why not face the northern elders that threatened to take Ihejirika to court when we had the upper hand against the terrorist, why not take your crap to the northern muslims in the army sabotaging the effort of other gallant troops because they think BH are fighting a holy war, 1 mole in a platoon or company of army is greater than the rest of soldiers as he will give military strategy and info to enemies.

Also take your senseless rant the man that said Boko haram are freedom fighters, how about the little girl who confessed that her parents took her to BH in the forest and forced her to join them, exactly whatis your point, how is the CinC a retard, he should pick up arm and go find shekau right?

As for Chibok girls, no girl is missing except you are telling us your sister is missing, in that case please report to the nearest police station.

''I consider he will pass WEAC with credits in ..............'' The principal even pointed out the subjects where he CONSIDERED he will make credit.



The question now is DID HE SIT FOR THOSE SUBJECTS AND IF YES DID HE PASS AND IF YES WHERE IS THE PROOF?

Buhari should pls save us time with this lets move on to the next agenda which is PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE.

At least he was honest enough to say it on a public forum unlike that illiterate General who couldn't produce one despite his ambition hanging on it and yet he is still calling himself 'The incorruptible one'.

[size=24pt]Do you now see why the Army cant win the war against Boko haram?


Cos they have been corrupted, politicised and made a laughing stock all under the present comander in chief...


How can an institution cast aspersions on its own record keeping or verification processes even if it was 100 years ago?

They think they are trying to chip away @ buhari's integrity not realising that they are tarnishing the image of their own organisation.


the present crop of leadership of the Nigerian Army should be ashamed.


Ordinarily, with the way Boko haram is disgracing us all over the place, and even recently captured a military base, they should have been resigning but no...they would rather take sides in an upcoming civillian election.


Shamelessness at its peak!!![/size]

You are an idiiot!
The army should never have been involved in this in the first place if not for Buhari's hide and seek games.

hmmm, how can military then say that he has credits in the reported subjects when there is nothing to back this claim, no original copy, no statement of result, they could even come out tomorrow to claim other subjects other than those mentioned.

Well, Boko are carrying out the Northern threat to make Nigeria ungovernable & Buhari's threat to soak monkey & Baboon in blood, they're succeeding killing themselves.

A retard as you call GEJ:
(1) Built 14 Federal universities (10 in the North).
(2) Built Almajiris schools that Northern leaders failed to build in 50 years.
(30) Renovated airports more than any leader since OBJ in the 1970s
(4) Brought back railway that died in early 90s
(5) Electricity is improving gradually
(6) Federal Roads better than has ever been since about 1990 (I have used Lagos-Benin, Lagos-Ibadan, Lokoja-Abuja roads for 30 years, so I know)
(7) Small refineries coming on board.
( Wiped out Agric Scam with farmers e-wallet, wanted same by removing oil subsidy but Nigerians didn't get it.
(9) And many more.
For a retard, he has don more any other leader for over 30years, not bad.

this is politics - not HR manager drama.
in politics, digging out dirt of political rivals is a norm. let's assume buhari doesn't have a certificate at all, it's PDP that should be digging such information out by getting an official statement from WAEC or revealing buhari's original result at WAEC's office.

Instead of providing this info you decided to go to court to swear an affidavit that your documents are with your past employer.
Now your Family and Friends because they really want you to get this job have requested for your documents from them, just to realise that your documents aren't complete. Now you are asking the Board to go search for your certificate.

the board can get the certificate if buhari can't find his original certificate. if buhari submits a fake certificate that had him having As in all the subjects he took, won't the board make their own investigation to verify the authenticity of the results. why can't they make the same investigation now to clear the air once and for all?

What this says is that Buhari entered those waec scores in his military sign up form but the military didn't and still can't verify if they're true. Plus a letter of recommendation from his high school principal is not equivalent to and cannot substitute for a waec result. Buhari should shut his critics and doubters up by producing his waec credentials. Its as simple as writing waec and requesting for his results. Why all the drama?

Hold on........THAT is the result?!! LMAO !!! Imagine this rubbish!!

Chei......Brig. General Alabi-Isama was TOTALLY right in his book The Tragedy of Victory. There, he wrote about a later set of Northern officer cadet candidates sponsored by the Northern elites, but without the necessary qualifications needed to be admitted into the Nigerian Armed Forces as an officer cadet. THAT, he said, marked the downturn of the officer corp of the military. I now believe that Buhari was part of THAT set.

People like you should just keep quiet when reasonable arguments occur, you cant even present intelligent points with intelligent use of English to start with. Get your grammar to par before spewing putrid nonsense, you live in a glass house don't throw stones..........

SHEYYY COOGARR! SEE FINISHING

Section 318(1) of the said constitution, which is the interpretation Section. It becomes crystal clear, upon a careful reading of the said Interpretation Section, that even persons whose educational qualifications are below the Secondary School Leaving Certificate/level and its equivalent are still qualified to contest election, if they possess the Primary Six School Leaving Certificate or its equivalent along with the other requirements listed under the said definition Section (Section 318(1)).

For the avoidance of doubt, Section 318(1) provides:

“School Certificate or its equivalent” means -

(a)      a Secondary School Certificate or its equivalent, or Grade II Teacher’s Certificate, the City and Guilds Certificate; or

(b)      education up to Secondary School Certificate level; or

(c)      Primary Six School Leaving Certificate or its equivalent and-

(i)       service in the public or private sector in the Federation in any capacity acceptable to the Independent National Electoral Commission for a minimum of ten years, and

(ii)      attendance at courses and training in such institutions as may be acceptable to the Independent National Electoral Commission for periods totalling up to a minimum of one year, and

(iii)     the ability to read, write, understand and communicate in the English language to the satisfaction of the Independent National Electoral Commission; and

(d) any other qualification acceptable by the Independent National Electoral Commission;”

There is the need to acknowledge the trite rule of interpretation of Statutes which is to the effect that a Section of a Statute should not be construed in isolation. All sections in a Statute must be interpreted conjunctively, especially where the Statute has a definition Section, as it is the case with the 1999 Constitution (as amended).Section 131(d) must therefore be construed in conjunction with Section 318(1) of the constitution which defines the words “School Certificate or its equivalent.”
