Do u want them to embarrass the 75 years papa? Ok why did they question about his past government. Pls dnt give us side brain next time.

This is a good observation and write up. But make I correct one thing, International Media's are different from Naija ones. Once PDP gives then brown envelops containing 2k, they go begin to ask some yeye yeye questions that is not relevant! All I know is that, even if I have to sleep on the street just to cast my vote, I sure will than I know who it belongs to. " SAI APC, SAI BUHARI Till Toto Dike wins Grammy Award!

Do you understand the meaning of "minimum"?

The requirement is "minimum of WASC or its equivalent".

If I need the minimum of $100 to qualify for an event and it has been established that I have $1000, why would you dwell on insisting that
I show you a $100 bill to prove that I have $1000?

This WASC issue is becoming stale, nauseating and childish.


\

let us go back to the ABC logic of things like this.you wnet to pry sch and secondary school right, don't you have class mates? cant you remember at least two people you sat WASC with? wont they remember you? if you was in GMB shoes wont at least 3 people come out and say hey, we sat with himthat's me just thinking aloud.what do you think?

so much for sound English

The poster is very bias! Tell me-- what is forgery? Tell me also that forgery is not an offence or corrupt act! If forgery is not a punishable offence by law, tell me why u went gthrough the rigor in the universit to acquire B.Sc. U should have gone to Oluore to pick a degre cert and then further to do ur masters in UK. Afterall, having pass through second sch, then with 18months masters programm, u can speak good english. If one who is solely coming to fight corruption attended his enviable hight on the ground of forgery, then tell me how much u can trust him. Tell me if he is worth given a chance in the first place. By ur line of reasoning, I am begining to suspect u too. Yes. Cause a bird of a feather flock together.

Elxandre:

He released a statement of result, but never contacted the ever willing Cambridge for the confirmation.

Close your eyes and take a breath and ask yourself how you and APC would have responded if this happened to GEJ!

how do you know this? cambridge did not come out and deny what he tendered. Did they?

Lolz......I pity u! you berra wake up from your slumber!

nationwide1:
Is that all the extent you can insult? I thought hooliganism in APC is limited to men. When did Buhari apply to Cambridge for Cambridge to come out that he wrote the examination. Lying has also infected you. SMH

anwo247:


He is even free to avoid the question of WASC at any interview but not the 10 court cases and counting... we have laws to follow.

yes ofcos however i was responding to what the original OP wrote up there.

Kingspin:

questions abt his past government is an issue anchored on facts nd deserves answers. But the one on certificate, till this moment is speculative. Now who has a side brain?

stonecoldcafe:


Did you register to vote? Do you have your PVC?

I have a PVC!

[quote author=IbnSultaan post=31177950][/quote] There is notting brilliant about that post , let all that can read and write without certificate apply for jobs advertised for people with B sc and others and u as a consultant will invite them for interview.

redcliff:

Cambridge said they will only release result details to inquiries made by the candidate and no one else unless law enforcement agencies if requested.So they never said yes or No however if this court issue goes ahead the court of law can request for the details.

There are those that want change no matter how unpleasant it might be - God forbid!! I rather not progress (stagnant) than retrogress. a vote for buhari is a vote for backwardness! Nigerians be wise!!

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?

a few months ago at the house of common in england there was a debate with regards to nigerian election and buhari certificate issue came up and a member of the house stood and showed other members of the house that the minimum requirement for been a president is ability to read, write and speak english fluently. Also the wasce do acknowledge that buhari sat for exam, also is old classmate came out and testify that he was their classmate and most of them are eminent member of the society. So please advise those jobless lawyers of yours who have got nothin to do to go and withdraw the case as it has no footing.

@OP,
In interviews (any media interview) you are asked behind the camera of any issues you wouldn't like to talk about. The interviewer will respect your wishes, if you opt not to talk about any topic. Many a times, it becomes the condition for granting an interview. Buhari can always state in advance that he would not like to answer questions about his certificate. Ask any journalist, please.

Have you ever seen any media ask Bill Clinton about his sex scandal?. Or any Nigerian media ask Obasanjo about his sex scandal with his sons wife?.

MORNDEW:

Speculation? I believe u have atleast a certificate and how many minutes can it take you to show it to your employer? It over simply dear.

andyanders:
Brilliant post herein. Buhari,APC or PDP is not what I am after here. The problem most times centers on our inability to reason well.What can you as a leader offer the governed.Jonathan with his so called PHD cannot speak bold or act like an intelligent leader. His wife is another case. Since Jonathan said that stealing is not corruption, then what is corruption I ask?
I hated APC but a change has to come and Buhari is one of the Nigerian's Elder statement who is not corrupt. Let Jonathan go and let us try another leader. Jonathan has lost focus.

You just spoke my mind. Just watch our so-called PHD "holder" speak. No coherence, no poise, no eloquence, no fluency, no free flowing gramatical sequence. Even when reading from his normal prepared address, he will keep stumbling. But I get amazed when the "certificate-less" candidate speaks. Apart from his accent, he can hold an audience spellbound for hours, reeling out dates, facts and figures accurately. When I now check achievements on the ground, I cannot help admiring the one without certificate than the "clueless" PHD holder.

Wonderful write up
Same thing with the "my oga at da top"
We Naija luv prolonging unnecessary thing.
I want to ask a question, dose it mean they don't give cert at the US War college?

Lizabeth25:
I don't think u have school certificate or can even express yourself.! Because if u do, u would have seen where d writer said that Cambridge admitted to us that BUHARI wrote SSCE..! People like u should stop deceiving yourself because others like me and others has woken up and realize that Oga Jonna cannot continue fooling us. So I say " SAI APC, SAI BUHARI till Toto Dike wins Grammy Award which is 2019 and it's under "MAYBE"!

Cambridge never admitted GMB wrote or sat the exam however they did say they are not allowed to pass such info to just any except the candidate in question or a law enforcement Agency.If you want I can give you teh number to ring to make inquiry and see what they say.

erico2k2:

then he definitely went to cambridge. If he did not go, they would not call him a candidate and they would be quick to deny him which they did not do. Who does not want to protect his integrity?

Each time I read the arguments on the Buhari certificate issue, it leaves my mouth gaping in awe of how little the so-called educated Nigerians calling for his head are.

One of such arguments was that his recent photograph was used instead of the one submitted 1961 and I'm like how many government ministries or MDAs or private institutions can boast of having kept intact filed records dated as recent as 1990?

Another argument was his having passed the language Igbo with A1 (distinction) ...this is even more funny cause on the same result where he got other grades, the grade description was written beside it, why was that of the Igbo language not so updated? Simple ...as a rule, the issuing school strike the subjects not registered for with a pipe-like strike '|' so as to prevent alteration or addition of such subjects fraudulently.

Lets talk about the 20 struck out and replaced with '19' ...haba naaa! So because I sat for an exam in the 20th Century, my principal should start looking for the Statement of Result booklet or sheet for that period because we are now in the 21st Century?

As if that one nor do, the talk of WAEC having in their custody Cambridge certificates hmmm ....though setup in 1952, the body conducts exams on behalf of International Exam bodies such as University of Cambridge, London and even JAMB BUT they do not issue the certificates on behalf of such bodies ....that was the case with Buhari's own. He did not sit for WAEC GCE BUT Cambridge GCE

Assuming he did not pass his school certificate exams, do you know that by virtue of attending institutions such as the US War College, it also served as some form of education?

Last but not the least ...the questioning of his joining the army using a letter of recommendation issued by his principal in lieu of his school certificate result ...let me ask how many of you here applied to sit for JAMB without using the 'Awaiting Result' option?

Yes we all had to update our files with the results when it was released but that was because we were not posted out of our school location or environment unlike the Army where you are posted out for training and getting the 'PASS' to leave the barracks is usually unheard of especially during that period when Nigeria just got independence and was trying to transition from the Royal Army to Nigerian Army.

The bottom line here is that we all claim to be 'too' educated and looking for well educated leaders ...but tell me how many of the retired soldiers have you seen ranting about like the well educated Fani Kayode who doesn't use his sense of reasoning before making a comment?

dokyOloye:
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.

i swear to God you don't read the writeup,you just read some coments and post the above trash.

freshdude99:

This is the most foolish piece of write up I have ever read my whole life so far. How can one be so foolish to the extent of writing such rubbish online... God forbid

it has been written. Nd those whose brain hv been covered with PHCN darness wont see d inteligence in it? Likewise those who believe stealing is not corruption.

My brother are you also saying that our army is corrupt to the level of listing someone without a certificate to go from just a soldier through to the rank of major general when Nigerian army was good in those days? except you are telling us that our army is also corrupt.We have people of intelectual sound sharp and brains who can never be deceive by anybody you dont have a point by all you ve said because we all are fools i recogise a lie when i ve been told one.As for Buhari certificate whether he show it or not we believe he has them and if you doubt this he said his house was ransacked during a coup plot which saw him out of the presidency

Came late to this thread.

And has anyone also asked why Cambridge has not refuted the attribution of that result to them?

Do you think if you forge results in Cambridge's name, Cambridge would not have issued a disclaimer?

Did anyone prompt them before they busted PDP's lies that Hausa was not offered in Cambridge WASC 1981?

I just pity these so-called schooled Nigerians that waste their time on that non-issue.

Just quick question Bro,what would you say was the impact to your family life during GMB short rule?Im asking of yours in person cos of what you wrote up there.

Mr, that is your own.......just allow us to mind our own too and we have decided not to waste our votes again. We are voting him out! Chikinah.!!!

The certificate is supposed to be a proof of literacy..
