Who Says Buhari Is Semi Illiterate? by zeezu22(m): 8:07am On Dec 28, 2014
RESPONSE TO JONATHANIAN ATTACKS: A rejoinder to
Semi Illiterate Professor Wale Oladipo, PDP Secretary on
General Muhammadu Buhari’s Educational Qualifications
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 became a professor to start with, is quite
astonishing if 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.
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 jargons 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 volume
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 ends 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 rebel from Chad took
over our land with more than 19 villages like what the
Boko Haram is doing now, he then Major General Buhari
led a successful operation as the GOC to push back the
Chad rebels and reclaim our territory. In 1984, when the
Maitatsine sect decided to declare war on Nigeria like what the Boko Haram are doing now, Head of State,
Muhammadu Buhari wasted no time in crushing them.
Boko Haram is a descendant of Maitatsine 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 PhD thesis and
publications in renowned journals. Goodluck’s speeches,
attitude, and interviews with international media don’t
portray him as a PhD holder. His past interview with
Christianna 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 PDP
government and its illiterate Professor are only interested
in playing dirty politics with 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

Buhari is not semi-illiterate, he is an illiterate, real mumu. Any one who thinks they can stabilize world oil prices is batshiit insane, a complete mugu.
