WHY BUHARI HAS NO CERTIFICATE: - Col. Ben Gbulie (rtd)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 Independentwhere 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 alldiscretion. 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 theyhad arrived at the Ikeja Airport. Consequently they had had to be absorbed into the Nigerian Army as commissioned officers, even though theyhad 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 ofBrigadier. 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".It is a shame that Buhari entered the Army with a false document and not meeting the prerequisite and insisting on contesting for the 2015 presidential election, knowing fully well that he has no secondary school certificate.If Buhari is man enough, let him submit the doctored 'school certificate' to INEC or any government department and he will earn himself a ticket to prison.Nigeria Must not be drawn back to another mediocre, his joke is getting out of hand.POSTSCRIPT: HAROLD SMITH - BRITISH COLONIALIST'S CONFESSION''The north was seriously encouraged to go into the military. According to him, they believe that the south may attend western education, but future leaders will always come from military background. Their traditional rulers were to be made influential and super human. The northerners were given accelerated promotions both in the military and civil service to justify theirsuperiority over the south. Everything was to work against the south. We truncated their good plan for their future. “I was very sorry for the A.G; it was a great party too much for African standard. We planned to destroy Awolowo and Azikwe well, the west and the east and sowed a seed of discord among them”. We tricked Azikwe into accepting to be president having known that Balewa will be the main man with power. Awolowo has to go to jail to cripple his genius plans for a greater Nigeria. ‘’Looking at the northern leaders now , If they have any agenda in Nigeria at all, sadly it is only for the north, and nothing for Nigeria....’’http://haroldsmithmemorial./tv-interview/

Apt write-up.

For the lazy readers, he said
1. Buhari has no certificate
2. The army of the 80s accelerated the progress of the northerners to suit the grand plan of holding power indefinitely at the detriment of southern soilders
3. The jailing of Awo was preplanned to stall the growth and education of Nigerians which he pursued vigorously
4. Northern politicians and soilders has no plans for Nigeria, their plans are for the north alone

No sane Nigerian who wishes Nigeria well will support a Buhari presidency
Sai GEJ!!!

Moment of truth.

It is a shame that Buhari entered the Army with a false document and not meeting the prerequisite and insisting on contesting for the 2015

presidential election, knowing fully well that he has no secondary school certificate.


If Buhari is man enough, let him submit the doctored 'school certificate' to INEC or any government department and he will earn himself a ticket to prison.


Nigeria Must not be drawn back to another mediocre, his joke is getting out of hand.


Mr. Buhari should apologize to Nigerians and report himself to the nearest police station for forgery and perjury.

now waiting for the said Buhari to defend himself .
he said he has a plan to root out corruption in Nigeria, yet he forge a certificate just to dream of presidency. de papz really lack idea of what corruption is all about

According to him, they believe that the south may attend western education, but future leaders will always come from military background. Their traditional rulers were to be made influential and super human. The northerners were given accelerated promotions both in the military and civil service to justify their superiority over the south. Everything was to work against the south

With more emphasis on the italicized as well as the subsequent texts, I find it compelling to relate this with the statement made by GMB on National broadcast after his successful takeover "coup" stating, "The regime intends to remain in power until perceived anomalies are addressed".

Just as he had planned to remain in power with no agreeable timeline, he has also recently employed this tactic with a more gullible heading (change) with no timeline as well. This change could be forever in the hands of the Northerners as they have felt marginalized by the brief relinquishment of power throughout the democratic dispensations. I hate to subconsciously state that we are a nation divided across ethic lines but the fact remains honestly so.

Where lurks of the positive vibrancy of youthfulness in the leadership of this great nation when septuagenarians would not retire to or impact through advisory nation building?

The facade of lies traded on political campaigns for change are enough to tell an enlightened mind how vulnerable we can be to the unforseen. A fish is often caught with its mouths open. Therefore, the change we need is not in the vaults of a man but in addressing our individual value systems and consequently changing the "This is Nigeria" mentality to "I am Nigerian" - a shift of responsibility.

Buhari should apologize to Nigerians for being utterly dishonest.

Buhari should submit the one release by his school to INEC.

KEVIND:
Buhari should submit the one release by his school to INEC.

Agreed, he should at least make a public statement agreeing or disagreeing with the published result.
