Our Set Took Hausa Paper In 1961 - Justice Umar Abdulahi by kahal29: 5:19am On Jan 26, 2015
A former President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Umar Abdulahi, has again debunked insinuations that Hausa language was not offered as a subject in the Cambridge/West Africa School Certificate Examination in 1961.

This came even as the University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate, now known as Cambridge Assessment, confirmed on Friday that it offered Hausa along with some other African languages in the 1961 WASC examination.

A statement on the Cambridge Assessment’s website on Friday had read in part, “According to the Regulations for 1961, African Language papers, including those for Hausa, were set for the West African School Certificate.”

The allegation that Hausa was not offered by Cambridge/WASC in 1961 became a talking point after the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate in the February election, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), obtained and released a copy of the master list of results of his 1961 set at the Provincial Secondary School, Katsina (now Government College, Katsina).

Abdulahi, who earlier confirmed that himself and some other prominent Nigerians wrote the final WASC examinations at the Provincial Secondary School, in Katsina, also confirmed to our correspondent on Sunday that his set wrote Hausa paper.

“There were a lot of options. There was Hausa, there was Arabic language in 1961,” he said.

Nigerians are asking for certificate not statement of result.
Now is that too much to ask from someone who dreams of being a leader?
Say no to forgery

So even judges lie now
I know their teachers then were English men and women, How come they know the Hausa language well to have taught them?, Because I know that very few hausas were learned by then, It was mainly the yorubas and Igbos who were learned, That's why Youruba was taught then.
No matter how good you're in Hausa, You must at least be learned in English to teach the subject.

Okay, Let's assume they had a Hausa teacher by then, Who was he?...what is his name?

Hey PD.Pigs, this is a simple thing to do if your clueless don't know what to do.
Let the Head of Clueless and his pigs + food boy go to court and stop giving us this noisy pollution.

None of them proved to be even more educated than the SsCE holder.

Go to court and stop this ranting.... We need to focus on FEBUARI 14.


GMB #Change!!!
