what the hell are you talking about? There is no electoral law that require SSCE as requirement for contesting elections.

What the electoral law says is: for you to contest to be Nigeria's President, you must posses an academic minimum qualification of at least SSCE or its equivalent.

There is a very big wide difference in this and what you seem to be implying.

For instance, one can sit for Cambridge A levels exams without SSCE or WAEC or not even going to any secondary school. Through A levels you can progress to other academic attainments like OND, BSC etc.

Eziachi:

I for one had no idea where any of my own primary school or secondary school certificates are. If you ask me, I will simply refer you to the school I attended. Whether they got a copy or a record, I don't know.

oluvick:
**all we are saying, Buhari, show up your certificate oh**

I just wonder how educational sector would be under the leadership of Buhari.

Students will only be coming out of school without certificates. What a waste!

presido1:
But when Buhari own certificate is asked for he refered them to his former employer. You keep on contradicting yourself man.

The only defense Buhari and APC will mount that will quench this buahrigate is that the cert is not needed by law otherwise all this biting around the bush will not wash. Alternatively INEC and PDP might let is slide cos of fear of what will happen up north if the general is disqualified. Then again the law has been bended to accommodate Buhari. For how long are we going to bend for people like Buhari?

Eziachi:

We have to agree to disagree. I don't in honesty even believe in the this project Nigeria, let alone supporting any of it's political party. Why would I deny I support something if I do? I was hoping that by now they will be talking about issue related stuff but never. You don't have to be partisan to know that PDP is just the reincarnation of the old NPN. They don't believe in free electoral process, even when they had no serious challenger, its in their blood.
APC has lots of barggage that can be trashed out, like the issue of deporting Nigerian in their own country, but those doesn't interest PDP and their supporters because it doesn't involve Buhari. I want to hammer APC on real issues but PDP aren't giving people like me anything but useless propaganda and negative tactics based on lies on personalities.
Most of my family, in fact almost all my family are in PDP including a former elected governor, so it not about party politics for me.

LogicPower:


Ameen!

Eziachi has always been such a wonderful fellow, so full of wisdom and intellect and, above all, thoroughly detribalized.

In fact he is a good example of how we can all be well above ethnic and religious prejudices as a result of knowledge, experience and maturity.

And this piece by him is so, so impressive!.

Eziachi:

If the certificate was my problem, I know 1001 legal things to do to get it.

PointB:


I never collected my SSCE certificate; my first degree certificate still reside with the university. My employer are satisfied with the statement of results I provide and have done necessary verification. However you and I are not running for political office. If we are and the system requires we must present our certificates, then it become incumbent on us to do the needful.

If you think the certificate issue is not a problem, why then is the APC issuing discombobulated statement here and there to that effect? Why do you think Nigeria are shouting from the rooftop asking for it? Or perhaps you are right, Buhari doesn't give a damn about us asking for his certificate, and you think he's going to give a hoot about anything we say if he inadvertently wins?

Pa Eziachi, if you must come to equity, please come with clean hands! Don't trade your age and integrity for those who cares not!

Seriously, what really is in contention? Is the concern that General Buhari does not have the academic qualification to be the president of Nigeria?

Many idiots above even have the guts to be saying and repeating over again that GMB is an illiterate.

How very absurd. For anyone to claim such, he has to close his eyes, brain and heart to a very obvious truth since they are hired for a price to do what they are doing, otherwise, under what consideration does GMB qualify as an illiterate?

Has any law been broken? If yes, go to court! If no, shut the f.u

berem:
with all these academic qualifications,the idiotts are still looking for his secondary certificate when he has more than that. The military has his copies of his credentials,INEC will apply for it if they need it. As simple as that!
Why then the fuss about this whole thing? Are you idiotts waiting for Buhari to publicly show you his credentials to prove to you he is not an illiterate? I don't understand o!

Eziachi:

So what is the difference between what you did with your employers and what was purported that Buhari had done with INEC?
You used your statement of result which were acceptable to you employers and he used affidavit acceptable to INEC.
You must have directed them where to verify your qualification and he directed INEC to the military to verify.

Whether its a job selling akara or a job being president, doesn't make any difference. Running for office is like looking for a job and the election is the interview, vote/winning meant, you got the job.

If the law said that affidavit is not acceptable, verification not acceptable, he has no chance than he cannot run, but he has done what the law required of him and that is why those that matters (INEC) are not getting involve.
That is why PDP are not taking him to court yet. Use your tongue to count your teeth. There is difference between emotion and law. You are being carried away by emotion because Buhari is not on the list of your Christmas card.




APC are fighting because your throwing some mud on their beauty queen. Political fight is like a beauty contest, if the PR for Miss Ghana started saying all over the media that Miss Nigeria has some smelling stuff under herself, what do you expect the PR for Miss Nigeria to to? Fold his arm hoping that it won't affect the outcome. He won't give a hoof whatever you are saying because for four years, now, you have said worse than certificate. In Igbo, we said when a king kept shouting hoax about his fictional lion that is coming, the day the real lion will come, everyone will ignore him thinking, it's one of his wolf cries and the lion will eat him.
Don't blackmail me with your age. Everyone is equal here as long as you are able to form an opinion. I respect every opinion, even when we sharply differs. What I am saying is my opinion, and your is your, we don't have to like them both and we don't have to be invicible enemies about it to. (Remember that we are invincible to each other?)

Eziachi:

What makes you think that I am supporting anyone?
If you believe that Buhari did not attend secondary school, then he fall short of law requiring him to become a president of Nigeria. And instead of moaning about it on the internet, I am asking you to do something about and I will back you up.

Quota system is based on the crude system of tribalism, where people in power look after their close friend from their tribe when they get to power and that is exactly what Jonathan is doing today, so what the difference.

Who initiated the abandoned property? Wasn't it Ijaw people where Jonathan come from? if you are really looking back on who did what. But that is not my concern, because based on what I had experienced, an Igbo man is no safer with an Ijaw than he is safer with a Fulani, despite Igbo/Ijaw close heritage.

Respect yourself this new year and make use of your brain

Matthewbriggs:


This is my first comment on this whole certificate saga, because Personally I do not care whether he presents it or not. I do not place value on people based on certificate. for me the real story whether you accept or deny it it that the way and manner your demi god handled this his certificate saga reeks of clueless-ness.

The real story is that if buhari can lie under oath about his certificate been with the military instead of coming clean that it was stolen. He can lie about the real state of the nation if he take over power. He would bend the truth to hide the real realities on ground. This kind of man cannot be trusted with power.

The real story is that your boss lied to Nigerians and you and your fellow buhari worshipers instead of holding him accountable are covering him up.

The real story is that Buhari can commit serious crime and run down our nation to the ground and you and your lot would cover him up. because you are blinded by fanaticism and people worship.

Yes I am the newest recruit, I vowed to campaign against Buhari if APC do not shield fashola. I am keeping ture to that promise.

If you like let your barcanista, Ymodulus and your clan of buhari worshipers call me a satanist, SaTAN, Romanclander, TANiod or whatever you have in your name calling propaganda arsenal. I really do not give an F. Get that into your head.

The fact is you berem have lost your value system and sacrificed your conscience on the altar of politics. You have failed to hold your leader accountable for his actions and in-actions, the same way you hold GEJ ... You have been brainwashed to see a man who could not provide real leadership for his soldiers, he freaking could not even protect him self to the extent that under his nose these same soldiers kicked him out and locked him up like a nobody. This same man thinks he can lead this same army, this same soldiers towards victory against bokoharam.

I laugh at you in Spanish.

The right word is FRAUD.
if he never attended any secondary school, or posses senior school from any institution which is a prerequisite for admission into Nigeria Army.
In saner climes if found wanting in a court of law is a criminal offense. Punishable by stripping him of all career achievement till date plus jail time.

Now that would be the changeall want, won't it??

PointB:



Cool. Then let him present whatever certificate is required of him so that Nigerians can move to discussing more salient election issue. Why is it taking him so long to shed the toga of 'semi-illiterate' hanging on his neck? In whose interest is he delaying on this matter?

presido1:
Here you go again, is the military the school that awarded him the certificate? it just like you referring your new employer to go and verify your certificate from the your old employer. Does that make sense to you?

berem:
tell your fellow brainless idiotts to stop spamming this section demanding for Buhari's certs. If you so desire to see his certs,kindly go to the military board to apply fo it and stop disturbing the forum with your useless threads.

Ndi ara!

Eziachi:
Gosh! He has, it called affidavit.
That was what the law required him to do under the circumstances and that was exactly what Sambo did too because he said that his own certificate was consumed by fire.
No matter how much semi or total illiterate you call him, there is a 50-50 chance he will be you head of state next month.
Moaning on the internet, won't make any change, rather it might energize northerners who are listening and reading all of you calling one of their elite son an illiterate irrespective of their party affiliation.
Can Jonathan still win? Of course he can but you guys are not helping him.

barcanista:
Buhari was very clear in his affidavit. "The credentials are with the military". Muhammadu Buhari was toppled in August 1985, he was later locked up by General Ibrahim Babaginda. His residence at Dodan Barracks was razed and all his properties including certificates never saw the light of day. It will amount to perjury if he said they are missing as they were never missing. Rather, the same military that razed his apartment should produce them documents. I am very glad that he refers people to the military board, they ransacked his house illegally, so they should produce it. We all know what the law says, his party has cleared him. Whoever believe that he defaulted the law should sue him and demand his disqualification. However, I am 100% certain that the general i§ on the right course. No enemy of state can stop Buhari, the people already have decided to vote for change.

brownlord:


Oh well you know i'm among those demanding for this certificate, not because i need it to vote buhari as you already know i'm not voting Jonathan nor Buhari, but to prove how honest and incorruptible buhari is.

Now tell Buhari to tell Nigerian's the school he went to, If the military are frustrating his effort as you and his paid worshipers are making us believe, WAEC can issue result or statement of result, This is what we need.

Why is this a big issue berem?
