I was shocked to read a press statement from
Wadata Plaza issued by a so called Professor
Wale Oladipo, secretary of the PDP, saying that
General Muhammadu Buhari is a semi illiterate
jackboot. It is no wonder that our education
system has fallen so low, else how can one
explain a professor making such a statement?
How did Wale Oladipo become a professor to
start with? It is quite astonishing that he can
say this. The professor doesn’t seem to
understand the basic rudiments of learning and
what it means for one to be literate or not.
Prof. Wale Oladipo, PDP National Secretary
Buhari attended the best military schools in the
world. In case the professor doesn’t know,
Buhari graduated as a military officer
(Lieutenant) in Royal Military Academy, Aldeshot
UK. He attended the Defense College India. Col
Buhari attended the US Army War College
Carlisle in Pennsylvania from 1979 -1980 and
earned his command as a Brigadier General. The
respected General Collin Powel attended the
same school in 1976 to become Brigadier
General. Some of Buhari’s classmates include
General Beltson, General Thomas P Carney,
General Bill Matz, General David E.K. Cooper etc.
all of them are alive and can be reached and
they will give glowing tributes of the man,
Buhari, they know as their classmate.
Anyone interested in verifying Buhari’s academic
credentials can write the school instead of
reading jargon from a deranged Wadata Plaza
Professor of Politics of Destruction Party (PDP). I
have checked Google Scholar hoping that Prof.
Wale Oladipo’s name and publications will show
up and nothing is showing up, that says a lot
about him as a Professor than Buhari as a
retired decorated General who served his country
so well and has not claimed any scholarship.
The curriculum at the U.S. Army War College
earns one a Masters Degree in Strategic Studies
and that is what Buhari has. For somebody to
claim that a graduate of such a prestigious
school is semi-illiterate, means something is
very wrong with that person’s brain. By all
academic and military standards, Buhari’s
education is superb and the best any general can
get in the world. Therefore, for Wale Oladipo to
claim Buhari is semi-illiterate speaks volumes
about his understanding of what education is
even all about. The unlearned professor thinks
education is about earning paper degrees only,
and even if it was the case, Buhari has them
from the most respected military institutions in
the world.
General Muhammadu Buhari has the kind of
military strategic education and experience to
deal a decisive blow on Boko Haram and end the
insecurity challenges facing Nigeria. Buhari is the
only army officer with the opportunity to
command 3 out of 4 Nigeria’s army divisions as
a GOC.
In 1983, when rebels from Chad took over our
land, seizing more than 19 villages (much like
what the Boko Haram is doing now), Major
General Buhari led a successful operation as the
GOC to push back the Chadian rebels and
reclaim our territory.
In 1984, when the Maitatsine sect decided to
declare war on Nigeria like what Boko Haram is
doing now, Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari
wasted no time in crushing them. Boko Haram is
a descendant of the Maitatsine sect with the
same extremist ideology and anti-western
education philosophy. It is surely President
Buhari that will be able to handle them:
eliminating these terrorists when he comes to
power like he did before. Muhammadu Buhari as
a captain fought in the Congo Civil War and won
the Congo Medal. He was there during our civil
war to bring peace and keep Nigeria one. That is
true patriot: a man that gave his life to another
country not only his fatherland.
Since the goons in Wadata Plaza have started
the literacy debate, it is very appropriate to ask
them that they produce Dr. Goodluck Jonathan’s
Ph.D thesis and publications in renowned
journals. Goodluck’s speeches, attitude, and
interviews with international media don’t portray
him as a Ph.D holder. His past interview with
Christiane Amanpour was quite embarrassing; he
couldn’t even make eye contact with her.
Nigerians are eager to read his thesis and
publications.
In conclusion, it is obvious to all Nigerians that
the PDP government and its illiterate professor
are only interested in playing dirty politics with
the lives and properties of Nigerians. Nigerians
now need Buhari, a man with international
military education and experience, a seasoned
administrator with zero tolerance for corruption
to end this insecurity, bring prosperity, and place
Nigeria at the seat it deserves in the comity of
nations.
