rozayx5:The principal's letter that he belived Buhari would pass English, Mathematics and three other subjects has answered that question of pre-requisites as @ that time. Meanwhile that document released to the public is not a certificate. Even the so-called statement of O'level results is questionable eg was this how Buhari's pix in Primary six?...etc |

thegoodjoehunt3: From your article: "Most officer programs require a college degree at minimum, and are very competitive. Many officers have master's or higher degrees". For a soldier (enlisting), it may not matter, but for an officer, the least should be a high school degree. |

Military leadership are demanded to keep "account" of troops and equipment/assets.. "Account", you must be able to count how many men you have, decide how many to add if needed and how many will remain after subtracting those who were lost or redeployed.. The ammunition required goes at the rate at which the selected weapon fires.. If the weapon fires 1000 rounds of ammuniton per minute, how many rounds will be neccessary to sustain an outfit of 50 armed soldiers in a 7 hour fire fight? The fuel required to transport troops must be calculated according to the distance the mission will cover and return as well as the fuel consumption rate of the selected vehicle used to ferry to the mission.. No escaping math to be a leader in the military and be "accountable" for those under leadership... Even the lowest soldier must calculate the setting of his rifle sight and economize his ammunition to maximum efficiency, he must calculate distance and trajectory of his travel according to compass and map. His life will depend on it.. Any accountable mind will see the failure of military leadership dealing with boko haram as a result of their deficient "accountability". The only other possibility is that the government in command is in conspiracy with boko haram sef.. Mathematics and honest accountability (opposite of corruption)is required for any successful military. |

PlutoLA:Thank you o my brother. I don't know when we will start facing the real issues in this country. This man failed ordinary o level exam and people are doubting his ability to join the military. They forgot the same man went to WAR COLLEGE in the USA and passed. If he could scale through those international schools, then why should his o levels be that important. Remember also, exam is too volatile to be used as the only measure of a mans ability. So many factors besides a person's ability can make one fail and exam. |

When GMB joined the Army, mathematics wasn't a requirement for entry. What was needed then was 4 credits, especially for the Infantry. This is becos it takes more than just academic excellence to be a good soldier. However, as recently as 7yrs or thereabouts, there has been a review on the academic requirements for entry into the Army. 5 credits are required, English n mathematics are now compulsory. If you ask me, I believe that the old crop of soldiers with "less" education were better,more disciplined and definitely more courageous than the millennium soldiers with " long long degree" that we have now. As much as I believe in acquiring good education, I do not think that a man's capability should be based on academic certification alone. Particularly, considering the kind of certification obtainable in Nigeria. |

Jarus:I hope you know the result as stated by the military was filled by Buhari himself on a form? |
