Eziachi:

When you decide to leave politics to the politicians, you will see things differently.

Eziachi:

I have seen and tasted Nigerian politics to the extent that I can write a book on it. What is happening about this certificate nonsense has happened before in a slightly different format.
In 1979, probably a month before the election. The UPN engineered a conspiracy like this that Azikiwe SHOULD PRODUCE HIS WHOLE TAX CERTIFICATE, tha did not pay his taxes, he should be disqualified because Zik submitted an affidavit that he cannot find the original copies of his tax papers and referred FEDECO to the inland revenue, of which they accepted.
They thought Azikiwe was a force for this election, and ignoring the main snake, being the NPN.

Suddenly, everyone was talking about Azikiwe's tax rather than the election. This was the period when the Western axis dominated the print media. They kept this propaganda going for weeks on end and Zik unlike today has no national medium to reply. Then someone went to court to stop him contesting and just few days to the election the supreme court dismissed the case, but in reality Azikiwe and his party had wasted valuable campaign time talking and defending the tax issue.

The second scenario was in 1983. GNPP stronghold of Gongola and Borno was a problem for NPN, few months before the election, they hatched a plot to get rid of the GNPP strong man in Borno, Alhaji Aliyu Abubakar Shugaba. One morning was woken up along with his family by people breaking down their door. It was Nigerian immigration services. They were asking the 70 year old Shugaba to produce his birth certificate, that he isn't a Nigerian, he was from Chad. This was a man that had served as a permanent secretary in the federal ministries for years before then.

He thought it was a joke, but instantly they bundled him and his family into a waiting truck, drove them to the Nigerian border with Chad and dump them in the middle of nowhere in Chad and left and told no one.
Unlike today with mobile phone, for weeks, The leadership of the party was looking for him and his family. Police were alerted and they did nothing. NPN government kept mute.

Until a custom officer among those that deported them secretly told one of the newspapers in the north about what happened and when the news finally broke, it was like a hurricane, many people could not believe it. Shagari government that kept mute before now said that he won't be led back into his own country, that the deportation was in order.
The case got to the supreme court after many months and he won. They was allowed to return home and huge compensation paid to him and his family. GNPP still went on to Gongola state mainly because of people's outrage.

So, when Nigerian politicians are desperate, they can engineer anything. One day, God willing, we will hear the truth behind this sudden Buhari has no certificate saga. Mark my word.

You call a General that attends the reknowed American War School at the same time with the likes of the famous American General Collins Powell a stark illiterate? You really do need a doctor to examine that your head.
Or did the American War School use a quota system for Army colonels from Northern Nigeria to graduate Buhari?

Rozayx5... you will need this

The secondary school he attended is still with us, most of his class mates are still around. That is why all these do not make any sense.

Who is us? And what school is that .
His biography happens to always omit that part of his life before his military career.
and I am saying that his military career is void without the story leading up to it

berem:
honestly,he is one of the reasons I am so loving politics on nairaland. An elderly man who has seen Nigeria before us and knew what it was like. Whenever I read his comments about Buhari,my love for Buhari keeps increasing the more. His experience,insight and depth of knowledge is very educative and enlightening.

Nuff respect Pa Eziachi.

sammyj:
This is a clown's write up. Whether they like or not change in constant and must be actualized come Feb 2015 certificate or no certificate!!!!!!

Gejfreesupport:


I wonder who gave birth to you...

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.

berem:
you're good in writing long epistles but you always shoot yourself in the foot. Same reason you were always ridiculed in romance section for attacking Beenkumar because you felt you should have won Mr. Nairaland. Jealousy and being malicious that's what you are.

You have found solace in politics section where your likes are found. Welcome to politics section were your idiocy is kindly needed.

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:

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

berem:
seems you're the latest recruit in the legion of the satanists.
Threads created about Buhari's certificates is getting boring and stale. I only commented on this thread because of Pa Eziachi's post.

Shout from now till February 14th,you will not see Buhari's credentials. Let the court decide Buhari's eligiblity to contest.

FKO81:
The man is old and fake to be Nigeria president this is computer age, he just enrol to computer class few days ago to browse and twitts, some of us can see what he has learnt turning his picture upside down on twitter, his old brain can control smart criminals like fashola, Tinubu, Atiku, Amaechi, Kwankwaso etc. He might be in office not knowing when Tinuba and Co had sold Aso villa, when he was still young as military head of state it was his second in command that was running the government and now that he is old you can imagin what will happen, his second in command is Tinubu's stooge, they will sale half of Naija before his first tenure expires, he has been out of
government for 29years interacting with cows, and he want to come and rule me, same man that was my grand-father's president want to be my presido God forbid.

obayaya:


I'm curious about the emboldened part..

Buhari's Residence at Dodan Barracks was razed?

I've never heard that from any of the different versions of Babangida's coup that I've read..

Can you provide proof and link to this claim of yours..

Else I'll regards it as a barefaced lie

Eziachi:
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.
