Penssuwa:
The question is no longer on possession of certificate or minimum requirement but that of perjury for lying on oath that his original WAEC result is with the military which has been found to be lie and such is very fundamental.
There we go again....the issue is no longer on school cert but on perjury!!!!! Obviously som of u are jst confused.

The constitution remains the constitution, so if you wanna change it, become a senator. Most of this pple shouting buhari doesn't have certificate, r pple during their days in nysc camp, they don't even know the governor of their states, they will come here and be forming James Bond.

It is immaterial whether he passed or failed such examination. To succeed, they must also show that he does not possess any higher qualification above the minimum requirement of secondary school certificate. In other words, they must show that all certificates acquired by the General in consequence of his military training at home and abroad, culminating in his rising to the position of a Major General in the Nigerian Army, were certificates below secondary school level or certificate. It is those making these allegations who must prove the allegations against the General. It is not the General who must show that he possesses such qualifications. The law is, ‘He who asserts must prove’.

I just hope those Taniods and GEJ apologist would read the emboldened part and show us the proves that GMB did not have the required qualifications to preside over this country..


And stop ranting that GMB should show them his certificate

Working by the premise of what Mr Shittu has said now, it therefore means that: (a) going through school for the purpose of acquiring "CERTIFIED" knowledge with a certificate as proof, is no longer necessary (b) job application should nolonger be by one's qualification as proven by owning a certificate but a mere attendance of any education institution with "PICTURE(s) proof. With all of this that has been said by Mr. "LEGAL PRACTIONER" Shittu, the profession "LAW" is "RUBBISH" and the NIGERIA CONSTITUTION is useless. My submission therefore is that EDUCATION should be scrapped, all forms of education be disallowed-"BOKO HARAM." It therefore means that both you, Mr. Shittu and all other "CERTIFIED" educated people wasted their time going through school...... I ask God for wisdom for Nigeria, Presidenr Goodluck Jonathan and the LAW profession. Never again will "ANY ILLITERATE" and those seeking to use him to embezzle our common wealth rule over me, us and Nigeria again in Jesus' Victorious and Mighty Name... Amen!

torhuke:
what the law implies is that any body who is contesting elections must have a "school certificate". There is no prefix (secondary, primary or tertiary) before the word school certificate so it is even wrong to say school certificate means waec or secondary school leaving certificate. School certificate is not the ONLY issue here because when you write common entrance as a primary 6 student and you are consequently graded and awarded a result it qualifies as "school certificate" same way WAEC, Bsc, LLb, NCE, OND, msc. phd, Hnd, or even a military school diploma certificate or even an Almajiri school leaving certificate will all qualify as "school certificate". We went to Law SCHOOL and we were given a CERTIFICATE in the end after we passed and that is our law "SCHOOL CERTIFICATE".
Now It behoves on the contestant seeking election to tell us that he has something that will qualifies as school certificate. So the law envisaged anything or something that "qualifies as school certificate". The law doesn't want to know how much you have studied or whether you jumped one stage to get to the other, all it requires is a SCHOOL CERTIFICATE. Even the constitution will admit a primary 6 leaving certificate as "SCHOOL CERTIFICATE" just as his military schools certificates "if any" will qualify. Buhari boxed him self to a corner by stating "WAEC" as his own "school certificate" when he has nothing to back up such. If he had told Nigerians via INEC that what he possess is a Primary school certificate and then "tendered a photocopy of same", this whole certificate miasma would not have arisen. If he had also told INEC that what he has is a "military school certificate" and then show us an authentic copy of same, there would be no questions to answer under "the law". Whatever grouse we would have with that will be morally inclined. There is no ambiguity in those sections of the law that talks about certificate of a contestant but Buhari hasn't complied. Consequent upon the amendment of the electoral act 2011 which together with the constitution is the "predicate and base" on which anything concerning elections must stand, and the provision in one of the electoral forms that asks contestants to attach photocopies of whatever "school certificate" they posses, non-compliance by any of the political gladiators seeking elective office is tantamount to putting something (ambition) on nothing. In the instant case, buhari in filling his forms said he posses "WAEC" certificate and rather than attaching a photocopy attached an affidavit. In his affidavit, he didn't say his certificates were burnt, stolen or missing, he said they are with the Military. How can he not have photocopies of his certificates and no originals and he cannot apply to any of the institution he has served or to even Waec for a photocopy or certified true copy.
If anybody can just come up to say I am a lawyer and then he is asked of his "certificate" and he cannot show one, not even a photocopy or certified true copy, that person isn't a lawyer. Now if for instance you are contesting election to be president of Nigeria tomorrow and instead of saying you have higher qualifications like a BL opts to state WAEC or LLB and you attach a copy of any of those certificates, you have passed the legal test or qualification of "school certificate". If you go on to state that you have LL.M and you have nothing to show that you have LL.M, you have boxed your self to a corner like Buhari. BuHari should have stated what he has and then attached a photocopy of such certificate be it military diploma or WAEC or master certificate. Any "SCHOOL CERTIFICATE" of which we can see a copy as evidence would have saved Buhari and Nigeria this embarrassment. The implications of Buharis actions is that he does not have anything that qualifies to be called a "school certificate". If professor Sagay has anyone, let him tender it on behalf of Buhari and let us see and this controversy that is embarrassing Nigeria will stop.
The rules of evidence say that "if it is the evidence of something that can be seen, then someone must be able to say I saw. Any other evidence apart from "I saw" will amount to hearsay. BUhari has not shown INEC and Nigerians anything as his "school certificate" and that is where the problem lies. Have you seen anything that qualifies as a "CERTIFICATE" from Buhari whether from military school or primary school or secondary school or Almajiri school? If no, how do we ascertain that "Buhari" has all the military and professional qualifications given to him by professor Sagay?

Even Though the condescending lowering of the office of the president of Nigeria to the level of "primary school certificate holders" is highly reprehensible and mediocritic, it is still the law and If anything, our constitution is one reason why Nigeria should still be regarded as a "third world country". Buhari has still not been able to comply with these "unlimited mediocrity" provisions in our laws. It is that bad.


Thank you. A firm analysis coming from one simple reasonable, sensible and objective Nigerian on NL. The court will surely and finally put this matter to rest. Soon.

Because people will vote buhari out of sympathy we should not allow the law to play it role? I thought u were from botswana? What do u knw about nigeria politics?

Nope, you didn't understand, i think Buhari has enough support already otherwise PDP wouldnt be doing everything in their power to discredit him even to the extent of blackmail INEC to postponing the polls.

The case however is dead on the water for your constitution does not clearly request that you pass or should possessing the certificate. It says you should have attended. Please read your it you might get some wisdom.

The sympathy vote will come at the expense of PDP (conversion vote) or the undecided vote. The risk is too high for PDP and wise strategy team would weigh the risk carefully. Also the fact that someone will loose and if it is the president what his future would look like after getting all down and dirty to win.

Btw, this is international politics, no country is an island and we the world are watching. You cannot gag me, internet is a free media platform. If you don't agree refute my statement with facts.

[size=18pt]I know someone who did not attend any secondary school, but dd his GCE by private studies, passed all his examinations and got seven credits and went on to gain admission into one of the leading universities and ended up with a PhD later.
Many of the trolls here have not even collected their secondary school certificates since they left school years ago. [/size]
