wirinet:After giving so much education, you failed to apply logic. Check the Principal's recommendation letter; he expected Buhari to pass English, Maths and 3 other subjects. Shouldn't that tell you that was the minimum requirement to be considered to have passed WASC and issued a certificate, and to join the army? Now, did Buhari make that requirement (having scored an F in Maths)? So why was his temporary admission not terminated? 1 Like |

[quote author=APContherun post=30043687]More light have been thrown on the controversy surrounding the APC presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari and his release of a Toronto certificate to online media instead of INEC by Col. Ben Gbulie (rtd)'s scholastic narrative. The situation in Nigeria pre and post Independent where unqualified people are favoured against the qualified, made it impossible for due process to be followed by Northerners who wanted to join the army or high institutions. Buhari joined the army in 1962 and less than 2 months to this date, he has a letter claiming to be a student. He was six months in Military training school and went to UK and stayed six months for 3 years course, there was no time in record that Buhari went back to college to complete his secondary school. According to Col. Ben Gbulie (rtd) writing, "By 1960, shortly after Nigeria's independence, the Prime Minister, Alhaji Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, had directed the Principal of King's College, Lagos, Mr. P.H. Davies, to provide places, annually, for at least 15 boys from the North, whether or not they passed the requisite regular entrance examination." --- Col. Ben Gbulie (rtd) in "Nigeria's Five Majors" p. 36, published first in 1981. "In an attempt to catch up militarily with the South, the Northern politicians had thrown out all discretion. They had lowered standards of admission drastically, settling for the minimum. For as I recalled, all the Northerners in my intake had been trained at the Mons Officer Cadet School in Aldershot. And they had become officers after barely six months of military training, whereas those of us who had been sent to Sandhurst had had to do two long years to earn the Queen's Commission. The implications were quite clear - and most disturbing. Not only had these Northerners become commissioned officers before we were half-way... through our first year at Sandhurst, they had all risen to the enviable rank of Captain before we could even appear at the sovereign's parade which served essentially as a prerequisite for our passing out as Second Lieutenants." --- Col. Ben Gbulie (rtd) in "Nigeria's Five Majors, pages 12 - 13, Published 1981. "By 1964 a group of young Nigerian officer-cadets, mostly Northerners, had been declared academically unfit and hence repatriated by the Canadian military authorities. These cadets were however pronounced commissioned by the Nigerian Federal Government no sooner than they had arrived at the Ikeja Airport. Consequently they had had to be absorbed into the Nigerian Army as commissioned officers, even though they had received no requisite military training." ----- Col Ben Gbulie (rtd) in "Nigeria's Five Majors" page 13, published 1981. "Zak (Maimalari) had held the rank of Captain in 1960. But before my return from the United Kingdom in 1963, he had soared to the top rank of Brigadier. In other words, he had risen from Captain to Temporary/Major, to Substantive/Major, to Temporary/Lieutenant-Colonel, to Substantive/Colonel and then to Brigadier, all within that short span of time. It was just scandalous". Source? Don't ask, read Col. Gbulie's book.[/quo Link to the book pls |

i went to medical school in UNN from the a Northern state and even on the first day i entered my class everybody was gossiping that its quota system. Even when i entered as a direct entry and probably far better qualified than any of my entry mates. The same excuse played in school and when we graduated i discovered everytime a dr from the North came for a course and training most people will disregard them and call them all sorts of names.But probably the most influential intelligent residents i meet as a student at UNTH came from the North. I just want to say its but very normal for anyone who knows what the Igbo's represent today that they will prefer to vote a goat than a Northener in any election.People in the SE east have this backward retrogressive mentality about northerners and loathe them so much in a way i cannot understand. 99% of the unpalatable articles and name calling from the internet comes from igbos,yet we can count the number of igbos who went to the military at Buhari's time and succeeded to continuesly train and retrain and eventually go to the best training school in the world i.e the US war college. I donot know if somebody will call me an illeterate after training at the top of my field and eventually inter politics. If Buhari had gone one to do a masters in religious studies like his other friends who now seemed educated to this ignorant few,he would have had a hard time because they will say because he has a masters in islamic studies he is a Jihardist. Buhari is a story and history that is being written everyday we are just watching as it unfolds,its beyond anybody. 1 Like |
