Lai Mohammed, we also think so but considering that the cut off for unity school was 2 for some states and 139 for others, it is not impossible that someone got into the army through man know man.

But to lay this to rest, just tell the military to produce his certificate instead of patronising them.

Jonathan is over pushing his luck. I thought they said Buhari is a serial loser and would certainly lose this time as well. What's with all the clandestine manoeuvrings to frustrate him?? Certainly even Jonathan himself could see his end is nigh. If he thinks he's gonna stand alone in this contest like he did in the PDP "coronation" he's got another thing coming.

I know enormous pressure would be mounted on the Military not to release the said certs given that they come under the command of the president, but one thing they should know is the chaos that would ensue upon tinkering with disqualification of Buhari would make the subsidy protests look like a new yam festival!!

Jonathan should put a leash on his desperation. Nigeria is bigger than his ambition!

See you self. The military said they are not with his original certificate. What does he even want? Is it the original certificate or photocopy. If all he got was photocopy le him at least show it. But what kind of man is Buhari? That he will leave his credential in his employer's custody? Is there any wisdom in it? Let's tell ourselves the truth.

No wonder Pastor Tunde Bakare said:
General Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly and former Vice Presidential candidate under the Congress for Progressive Change, Pastor Tunde Bakare has likened the leading opposition party, All Progressives Congress to the Church of Satan in a parable.

Tunde Bakare said, “APC is like a newly opened church of Satan with the evil as a Pastor which could not be distinguished by Nigerians from a true living Godly Church and hence could be mistaken for a real Church, even when it was made of thieves (Legitimate Pen Robbers), that is why they ganged up against Local Government fiscal Autonomy using crumbs from stolen accumulated wealth to bribe their thievery colleagues at Federal and State house of Assembly.

“It is very clear that the 5 Governors of APC in the west is far richer than their state and they have looted every penny from their state purse. People should be careful of this Rogues,” he added.

LogicPower:
1. I am now convinced more than ever before that the GEJ re-election campaign and the PDP leadership are as clueless as their oga at the top, otherwise how can they be promoting this ABSURDITY for so long?

2. If the GEJ campaign managers are not so clueless, they would have known that this HARE-BRAINED tactic would only give them a SHORT-LIVED moment of excitement before it EVENTUALLY BACKFIRE big time on the clueless, and finally nail the coffin of his dying dream for re-election.

3. We all know that from the logical point of view, there are two mutually exclusive scenarios regarding this issue;
(a) either Buhari actually possesses the qualifications he claims to have possessed or
(b) he does not possess them yet he made a false claim in a sworn affidavit to the effect that he possesses them.

4. And even a layman would know how the ELECTORAL LAW would apply in each scenario; if (a) is the case, INEC MUST allow him to contest (provided he satisfies all other conditions), but if (b) is the case INEC WILL disqualify him.

5. Although each of the two scenarios is logically possible, MOST people with COMMONSENSE would tend to believe that (a) is the case, for a number of reasons:
!. it is VERY UNLIKELY that a former army general and head of state would make a false claim about his academic
qualification for whatever reason(s).
!!. it is even more UNLIKELY that he would do so in a situation as important and politically sensitive as filing a
nomination to contest an election with an incumbent president, who controls the entire FG machinery.
!!!. and given the fact that GMB has earned for himself a reputation as a public servant of RARE honesty and integrity, he
would be the least expected person to engage in falsifying his academic qualifications or any of his records.
v!. since everybody, including the general himself, knows that he is so widely admired and respected by Nigerians NOT
because of his academic attainment but because of his personal honesty and integrity, he does NOT need to embellish
his academic qualification for Nigerians to elect him.

6. So as the PDP goons permeate the social media with the stink of their dirty and rancid campaign of character assassination against GMB, they should be ready to swim in their tears of defeat and sweat of embarrassment if, as people with commonsense expect, it turns out eventually that the people's general has NOT made any false claim regarding his academic qualification.

7. When the general is eventually VINDICATED by INEC, then the clueless and his campaign managers, who seem to be encouraging and relishing this cheap and senseless mischief against GMB, would see how it would all END IN FAVOUR of the general; many decent Nigerians who are undecided voters would simply feel outraged by this morally reprehensible mischief against the amiable general and simply swing to supporting him and voting for him.

8. It would then become even clearer to Nigerians that the clueless and incompetent president has NO concrete achievements to show for all the six years he has been in office, hence his goons have to resort to blatant lies, deceits, mischief, blackmail and all sorts of character assassination against the general.

9. But unfortunately for them, all these shameless tactics are CLEARLY NOT working, as the wind of change keeps blowing, and the electoral defeat of the clueless increasingly looks a foregone conclusion.

Plenty turenchi. ..if your masa was equal to the task, you wouldn't need to write this epistle to justify an illiterate

Though I am not a politician or affiliated to any of the politcal parties. But the truth need to be said about Gen. Buhari, 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.

The curriculum at the U.S. Army War College earns one a Masters Degree in Strategic Studies and that is what Buhari has. 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 but 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.
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. In other words, he is not an illiterate or semi- illiterate as many people claimed.

tuborme:


Go and get admission for a masters degree program without your O level certificate! You guys choose to play politics with everything in this country.

The issue is not about seeking an admission without O Levels.

Seeking to be president requires a minimum qualification of SSCE whereas Buhari has higher qualifications, hence inec has no issues with him. Besides, the Nigerian Army has not said that he didn't submit his certificate at the time of entering NDA. They only said they're not in possession of the original.

Let's wait and see what happens in the next few days.

E-thug, how can you get Master without SSCE? You wana walk before you crawl.. Lol.. GMB supporters are disapointed themselves.. See the poo they have found themselves... **DANCING ETIGIN

The only reason why that thug Oshiomole is still in office is because the issue of his primary school certificate was presented after the election. According to the court ruling, it was a pre-election issue.. Like what's happening to GMB...

No wonder he want's to control Oil Price from ASO ROCK..

Buhari was one of those fura-da-nono drinking, sheep and cattle rearing children that jihadist ahmadu bello plucked from the bush and put in the army.
U don't swear affidavit for an item u claim is well, safe and in existence.

AlfaSeltzer:
APC should stop obfuscating and show us the certificates. It's very simple. Either that or Buhari to jail for lying under oath.

You are either mischievous or ignorant. I pity whoever you are to think that Buhari who is a public officer educated here at home and abroad has no certificate. But come to think of it, if Buhari has no certificate this is definitely not the best time to raise it. PDP know too well that Buhari has a cert but are too sure that imbe like u will believe them and shout u throat out. If Buhari has no certificate PDP would never raise it as an issue at this stage knowing fully well that only a competent court of law can decide on that as a ground of petition before the electoral tribunal. Moreover it would have been a good ground for them and would have strategically kept mute on same untill after declaration of result.

STOP BEING FOOLISH

i disagree with yu Alfa, the certificate issue is a matter of d nigerian constitution, therefore if buhari cannot produce his credentials and has equally lied to affidafid on oath, he will be disqualified according to inec laws. Nothing will happen except to yu,and yr people as yu think

disqualification should be the least of his worries. 14 years in jail for perjury is awaiting him if he lied in court under oath.

In my considered opinion,1.Has the military denied being in possession of Buhari's certificates? 2.why is the military mute over the allegation 3. Can Buhari lie against the military with impunity? 4. Could this be one of PDP's usual desperate and despicable political manoeuvres? 5. Is it possible for Buhari to have risen to the rank of General (acclaimed one of the best, by an independent international entity of no mean repute), without having an O'level certificate? 6. Is it not blatantly CHEAP to dwell on ordinary certificates when we know that paper qualification is DEFINITELY not enough to make a good leader? 7. Does gej's Phd make him a leader to reckon with? 8. Could Sambo have ACTUALY lost his certificates to fire?, when? Where? How? Mind you, in the case of FIRE one cannot make enquiries or maybe you should enter fire and ask it some questions! Nobody can LIE against the Nigerian military with impunity. The fact that they have not responded to the claim or delayed to respond to such a weighty claim should send the biggest slowpoke THINKING. For goodness sake, are some people so unfortunately daft? Chai!

COMMON ABACHA ROSE TO THE LEVEL OF A GENERAL , SAME WITH IBB - we have seen a larger number of illiterates occupy key positions in this country. Even the constitution still requires primary school cert. for NATIONAL aSSEMBLY MEMBERS. AS AN ADVOCATE OF THE RULE OF LAW, WE EXPECT HIM TO SHOW NIGERIANS THAT HE IS NOW DEMOCRATIC AND LONGER THE DICTATOR OF THE 80's by presenting even the photocopies of his credentials without any grandstanding . Dont think thats a big deal now!!!

Then let Buhari publish his certificates and that settles it. Its as simple as that. When the Americans asked for Obama birth certificate he published it on the world wide web..and that nailed it! Let Buhari do the needful!

What response did Obama get from his detractors after cowardly publishing his Birth certificate?
Did they apologize to him or did they started on another senseless campaign like, he wasn't a real graduate, he should publish his law degree, he should prove that he is not a closet Moslem?
It's a waste of time trying to impress your enemies because, no matter what you do, they will always find another 1001 reason to dislike you.

This is absolute nonsense, wetin these fools wan tell us? I am of no doubt about GMB going to school and aquiring certificates ooooh,no. What I am against is dis, does going to school alone make u certified? Cos I ve seen people go through the four walls of the university without certificates, secondly, INEC requires his certificates, its either he presents them or he doesn't have them, and if he doesn't have them, them he is not qualified, just imagine urself going for job interview,nd den u tell ur would be employer that u forgot ur certificates @ home but u went to university, my dear who is fooling who? Let's forget about sentiments and start calling a spade a spade. We all knew GMB is educated,but appearing without the necessary credentials does not make him qualify in anyway, its as simple as that.

If its SSCE, wouldn't you and I be eligible to attend war colleges?

The right question to be asking is: Since SSCE is required to run for president, where is the one he used in 2011? and why is it difficult for him to produce?

Its simple, show us your certificate and stop saying "If I didn't have one, how did I do this and do that... "

Oka, you have one, show it to us... I don't get why all the dancing around instead of doing the needful! lol

Bro, u are only assuming, has Buhari said he has tried retrieving the certificates from the Army and he could not? Why are the original certificates with d army in the first place?
I asked a few friends in the army and navy and they all said they don't submit their original certificates.

.. Possible answer to your question.. 1. Who owns the Certificate? Buhari or the military?.. 2. The military is mute because it's not their business, Buhari should provide all it requires to participate in Nigerian politics. INEC didn't as military to present it but the sole owner of the certificate. 3. Ofcours yes, is he a saint? 4. Politics they say, is a game itself... lols 5. Who Ranked him upto that? is it Nigerians that ranked him? or his cabals? all False Ranks joor..6. Listen to yourself? it's one of the criteria all the aspirants should meet up with. have you heard of any good leader that doesn't have O'level result? it's all happens in APC (toronto tinx) lol. 7. With this.. Gej is 100% better than Bh.. yes it makes him better and d best ever president Nigerians has ever had.. 8. yes.. cos he's an educationist. u know na. 9. my dear, ask Bh to go his certificate if actually he has it. is anyone stopping him from collecting his certificate??

When the whole world asked jonathan to declare his assets he said he doesn't give a damn. This is in the area of corruption which is a more sensitive issue to Nigeria. Now his supporters want buhari to show his certificate. All long as inec that conducts the election is ok with the sworn affidavit then no cause for alarm. Wasnt buhari screened in the past elections he contested? Pdp should please discuss issues as it affects the common man. Let us hear what they want to do. Lets see copies of their manifesto and not all these cheap blackmail going around.

peedeeasobie:



what type of bureaucracy are you talking about?
This is a former general for crying out loud...
He can get to any school and it will take less than 2 hours to produce his certificate.
Is it that you guys have sworn never to speak the truth?

The certificate is said to be with the military not the school!

I am not Buhari's spokesman, just responding to your comment about the duration it takes to get things done in Nigerian Institution.
