This post is anodyne, bereft of reasoning and lacking incisiveness. Nigeria press is right to address a notable issue which relates to the eligibility or otherwise of a future president of Nigeria. The lack of interest of 'international' media is neither here nor there. Nigeria papers has not reported the conflict of interest raging in British papers and media over the conduct of their two most senior foreign ministers, Malcolm Rifkind and Jack Straw? Media dwell more on 'domestics' than global news. They have to serve what their 'customers' want. Buhari certificate or lack it is what nigerians want to hear about. So there. You are disingenuous to suggest that Nigerian papers, which invariably support APC goons as well as Buhari must not report ongoing court cases.

its a typo error. Nd som of u shud learn how to tackle issues. U dnt see everything not in ur favour as being from d opposition. So ppl cant point out what they feel or know. This is one of d reasons the president's ratings is low.

No, you got it wrong sir.

1. Cambridge has not released/disclosed his result.

2. Cambridge examination body says it can only divulge a candidate's examination score / result on the request of the candidate but the general has not requested.

3. He opted to go to his secondary school to get a statement of result.

4. The name on the statement of result he got. from his school was different from his name ( Mohammed was the name on the statement of result but all other documents of his carry Mohammadu).

5. At first, he swore affidavit that it was with the military board.

6. Military board was approached and it was found out that it was a letter written by his principal that 'he would pass the examination' instead of school certificate.

7. He would have made it clear at the beginning that Babangida stole his school certificate instead of saying things that never existed.

The Op said Cambridge confirmed he sat for the Exam in 1961. Have to tried check if the said confirmation is true?

Oputa Panel was not constitutional and that was the reason GMB did not attend. Was the peace and reconciliation panel in South Africa constitutional that everyone summoned appeared?

Who told you that everyone appeared in SA? And was OPUTA panel a peace and reconciliation conference? Can show us what peace and what reconciliation it achieved? I said it was a wasteful and aimless jamboree that has achieved nothing; can you argue against that taking every word into consideration?

The Op seems to be a specialist in misleading people.

Cambridge examination body website only confirmed that Hausa language was offered in examination in that year.

Whether he sat for the examination or not was not mentioned.

Op, you simply mean that Nigerian law should be bent because of Buhari. Get this straight: Because Buhari does not have school certificate but can express himself in spoken and written English does not in any way take away the fact that we have Nigerians who have suffered to study to acquire certificates and can express themselves in written and spoken English better than Buhari.

I have met many people who don't have school certificates but are good writers and speakers of English language. You cannot justify Buhari's disrespect for Nigerian law with such baseless analogy. That's how Buhari refused to appear before Oputa panel. Are you saying those who sat down to outline (in the constitution) the presentation of school certificate to INEC were fools?

Pls ask d op. He/she won't employ an SSCE cert holder to be his coy MD yet, wants a whole country to be ruled by one who can't produce d min. qualification.

Why send ur children to sch when u know u can rule a nation wtout a certificate?
Wasted resources. smh.

Are you saying the Diploma awarded by the US War College is inferior to the Cambridge School Certificate? Haba ...why do we all think backward naa? Gen Gowon had no more than School Certificate when he was Head of State and guided the Nation through the throes of Civil War (Championed by an Oxford Educated General Ojukwu) ....our own VERY EDUCATED PHD President is still battling with rift-rafs terrorists and you're talking about qualifications?

Our power sector is still moribund yet its being managed by no other less than a Professor ....a former Vice Chancellor and An Electrical/Electronics Engineer! Shei one would have expected magic to happen to the sector as the man na Book-god abi? But no that is not the case it takes more than educational qualifications to do that

Dear brother,

While I strongly agree with you that certificate issues should be irrelevant, the real issue over the certificate isn't the certificate itself but the guideline surrounding his eligibility. The problem is the constitution that provides the premise for eligibility.

While Buhari might speak fluently, that is not to say his enlightenment is also commensurate however, more than that, when it comes to an ambition like his and the premises or prerequisite to obtainin his goal, the conditions are clear and it is not determined by fluency or enlightenment. The condition says anyone viein for presidency must atleast have a wassce certificate. Not an affidavit or a statement of result or any other equivalent. I will give a simple analogy. Let's say you applied for a job and after fulfilling almost all the process, and you are finally required to submit your certificate and you went to bring a statement or to whom? The norm is to put you on hold to you are able to present the required certificate. That is what happens. And should you fail to do that on time, your place will be given to someone who already has all that and available. In a case, where the company compromise and decide to take you up probably cos one, you are the only eligible candidate so far and they need you, it will be at a compromised compensation at your detriment should you fail to meet up. Two is by vetting but we all know that no matter how brilliant you are, if you don't that certificate and there others who fulfill that requirement, your spot is as good as gone and we know this. If you like, be smarter than Isaac Newton but that's what it is.

So Buhari's case is clear but cos of sentiments and misleading tricks of the opposition, we defend what is not.

However, more than that, besides the certificate issue is his company which I will never trust or commit the date of Nigerians into. There is a saying, show me your friend and I will tell you who you are. Buhari has shown his alliance, and that makes it easy to know where he is goin to fall and I need not be told to kick against it.

Back to the matter, while not having a certificate isn't a problem as we have seen successful people all over the world who don't have it, however, to run for the presidency of the federal republic of Nigeria, it is a perquisite and thus shouldn't be compromised. How unfortunate but that's what it is. The constitution can be amended later to make it more open but pending that time, Buhari still has questions to answer regarding his certificate

The Oyimbo journalists are very smart. They didn't want to EMBARRASS him with such a question.
Assuming they raised that issue, how do you imagine Buhari would have handled it.
They already know that he has that dent on his integrity.
10 lawsuits! OMG.

abokikhalifa:
what about the result he showed? The matter is in court let see who is going to win the case...them looking for way to bring buhari down but God pass them

Thought it was the constitution that was the issue now it is court. You guys run from pillar to post. Neeeext!

atlwireles:
Buhari is not a candidate of the international media. He is running for the Nigerian presidency.

Tell them ooo.

epadomo:

Original write up carried 1964. The op can attest to that fact. He modified it after the alarm was already raised.

kaecy5:


let me Break this down for some folks that think because he went to US war college then he has not committed any crime

situation 1.

present your qualification to run for election. -- if he had presented his qualification from US war college, then we know he has presented an equivalent certificate if only the courses he attended in the war college are at the level of WAEC or O-level cert. he may as well have attended a Business course or training, maybe that's why he knows that he could not present this one time course certificate as WAEC equivalence.
incase you dont know, Us war college offers short time courses like HAVARD that are not equivalent to any DEGREE.

situation 2
he did not present his WAEC when he was filing his INEC form. on his INEC form he filed an Affidavit that his WAEC is with the MILITARY BOARD, unfortunately the military have denied him. --- this is the simple reason why the court case- lying under oath - Perjury

situation 3
another reason for the court case -- FORGERY
we know back in the 60's up until late 80's the WAEC - SSCE, secondary school years was 5 years and not 6 years. he claims he did his in 6 years and at the end of his 6th year his principal gave him affidavit which he used to join the military. i have a question, How many years can someone continuously present an Awaiting result status. then the Oluwole result was displayed on the internet

if you are still confused the name MOHAMED and the name MUHAMMADU are not the same.

another example -- Kelechi and Kelechukwu and ekenedilichukwu - may mean the same thing but they are not the same name.


if we cannot hold our leaders responsible for their actions that means we should not complain about what we get.
i have seen a lot of folks fired from their jobs, chased out of school for not having the minimum required qualification.

Buhari you are in London right now, take a drive to Cambridge and request for your originals and retrieve the affidavit from INEC. or else we would see in court. and stop this grand standing of ABOVE THE LAW

not supporting anyone but your situation analysis is brilliant especially the third one......the fight would come to an end if he shows us his certificate..am not a GEJ fan, just love politics

Op hope you are not educated neither do you have a certificate? IF you are then I wonder how you managed to pass your exams and practicals without cheating.

My point is if you really suffered for your cert then you wouldn't be defending an old man who cannot present his certificate.

Gosh! what's really hard in presenting your certificate if you have?

Popemax:
Heard Buhari is planning to bribe cambrige to provide fake certificate bt they have refused.....

Say no to drugs....They make you hear all sorts...

N--NO
C--CERTIFICATE

Brilliant post!

What other propaganda can PDP cook up against Buhari that hasn't been busted? Now they have shifted their propaganda on Tinubu and Osinbajo.

The wind of change is coming very fast!!
God bless the General!

Buhari is an senile fellow that is being prodded by tinubu for the selfish goal of getting to the presidency. Tinubu knows that he can never win a presidential election that is why he is hell bent on using Buhari to achieve his plot. The general that cannot remember the name of his vice, his party or the electoral body of Nigeria is the same person that you think can rule this country? Be objective, God gave u a brain so u can think for yourself, don't let the media do it for you.

i was reading nd u started going offkey with ur Job analysis which does not equate cos dangote hv no certificate, also u said the law does not ask for affidavit, then u know nothing about the law. As for the rest, its meaninless.

Op what doz international media got to do with our country and her citizens?
buhari is a candidate running for
presidency with little or no good
educational background...
have u ask urself why this man
refuse to take part in 2 different
presidential debate? but he has in
two different occasions grant interviews to d international media... even speak to UK citizens... is he contesting to win n den lead d foreigners.. or Nigerians?

I think your assumed outstanding post lack merit. That the international media cum journalist did not question Gen. Buhari about his certificate saga does not make it unnecessary. Its a constitutional matter hence if not properly addressed could constitute a rape on the constitution of federal Republic of Nigeria but never that of UK or Europe as you assumed.

Now,its 1964 he sat for Cambridge,
No longer 1961.
The earlier U ppl come out plain and admit he never sat for any exam,the better.
