Waoo.....am actually suprised,that a person can make this kinda really ignorant statement,if u use the word illetrate for a man like GMB,I wonder what we should use for our first lady.anyway,that's by the way.lack of cert doesn't necessarily mean lack of eduction,cos if we were going by cert,GEJ should be in the zoo,in other word military cert or zoology cert,what matters most is they are both qualified to run.leading a nation isn't just abt what u studied or where u are from,its more abt drive,passion,decisiveness,gut and having what it really takes to lead this wonderful nation in the right direction.what do we say abt a president who makes statements like"stealing is not corruption"every country has got its own share of terrorism maybe its Nigeria's turn"and we are talking about a phd holder here.If u want to make a criticism y either canditate isn't a better canditate,it would be best to make a constructive one,backed up with real fact and info spiced up with maybe a little intelligence.GMB all the way,aint waisting my vote this time.shikena!

Its quite unfortunate that some people are so daft to the extent of making such enquiry about GMB. Like some posters have rightly said, the one with a terminal degree (PhD) still bleeped the whole country up and has led us astray for complete six years!. So my brother, good governance is not directly linked to your level of education, its about your ability to make the right decision at the right time, to lead by example and to always be credible everything that you do. Lets change this country positively now, enough of this clueless government.

Formal Education is overrated. Real knowledge doesn't exist within the four walls of classroom.

Ha ha ha yeah right. Well next time you or any of your loved ones requires medical attention, don't bother visiting a qualified doctor, when Baba Sikira traditional healer lives conveniently close by in a Lagos slum, is way cheaper and specializes in ALL branches of medical or "spiritual" treatment.

Also when you need to go to court for any important case that emerges in your professional or personal life, don't waste precious money on a qualified, formally educated barrister-at-law, when Mumuni the panel-beater can offer better prices in his capacity as a self-taught "traditional" lawyer with a voice far louder and intimidating than that of any person who went to the trouble of attending law school and passing the bar examination.

The word "Honorary" in reference to ANY purported "academic" qualification, basically means that the diploma is not worth the paper on which it is printed, since the person on whom that dubious honor was conferred need not have ever cracked a textbook of any description for as long as they have been alive. We thank you for your own contributing evidence establishing Buhari to be a buffoon, and an illiterate one to boot.

2-Nigeria is ridiculed because someone wants to be in power by any means and result to daily blackmailing of Nigeria
3-no country will on daily bases call their president names like(fool,fisher man,d clueless 1, etc) and expect others not to follow suit

Actually yes, this is a correct statement, sir. You are very perceptive indeed. Dunces, dullards, dimwits and dorks ALWAYS fail academic tests and examinations, as Buhari has done all of his adult life, therefore, by deductive reasoning, Buhari is a major, confirmed monkey-brained rodent of the first order.

Buhari has no varsity degree. Most muslim military guys during his time in military had no varsity degree and yet they were promoted more than others.

Jonathan claimed he has PHD in Zoology (which has not been confirmed) and yet it didn't make him a good leader. He's very incompetent to even be a zoo president.

I'm not a Buhari fan but he may be far better than Jona. Buhari can fight corruption. But my concern is that he loves islam too much and may turn the country into an islamic nation.

Say no to Olodo buhari

It was Abacha the daft IBB referred to. Go and find out first the level of education of Defence Academy graduates, am shocked at the level of ignorance in this place. So you think you can pass NDA? Am sure GEJ and PEJ will both fail there

Really? So OBAMA IS GRADUATE? tell me something!!! Is that his middle name, his personality or his characteristic? So graduate is now an adjective. I never knew!!!!!

You also said Germany, Britain etc are graduates? How daft can u be??
You don't need to be contesting for a position to know how to speak good English.

Are you not ashamed? You have a "Dr" as a presient for 6 years and you write like this. (Even my 5years old who write better English) maybe if an "illiterate" comes into power, he will help your likes obtain better English standards.

Upgrade your English before you go about asking STUPID and SENSELESS questions.

What makes you think he loves Islam too much? And even if he does, it only affirms one thing; that Buhari has passion for what he believes in, the same passion he will use to uphold his beliefs in a better Nigerian and give us the change we need. Moreso, i dont think Buhari loves Islam as much as Jonathan loves christianity judging from the way he attends RCCG conventions.

So what if he dont have a degree? Atleast the constitutional requirement for presidency is secondary certificate which he has. Remember that clueless GEJ holds a Ph.D but what colour does it adds to his poor administration? We'll only consider CREDIBILITY and nothing else. GMB can, but GEJ cant. No more tribal, sectional or religious bias. Nigeria is one & Buhari our CHOICE! Not by interest, but CREDIBILITY!! GMB2015!!!
Hmm, your reasoning about education is ridiculous and very unfortunate. I guess you are educated (you sure sound like you are) and do hope you know the meaning and impact of education. Have you ever done business at the highest level and tried to do so with uneducated people? If/when you have, you will not make the comment/statement you just made above. My bro, dealing with an illiterate man is hell, believe me! My friend, education not only matters, it is in fact, the number one thing-when the chips are down, and theres tension, thats when you'll know and see that it does! There are a lot of issues that an uneducated mind can't even comprehend (that is, understand), talk less of handling or tackling/solving. Moreover, someone without education can be easily misadvised, deceived or misled by so called advisers.
NB: By the way, Buhari is educated, he went to several military institutions, and so, is not illiterate. That should be noted. Also, you said..."GMB can". Well, I think you are right! Thank you for that!
