BlackPeni5:


Only the courts can disqualify GMB. Even though a formal petition have not been written, the onus is on him to clear his name before such a petition is written.

maclatunji:


1 month to the election, you all screaming certificate, that won't prevent Buhari from running but it will prevent the electorate from putting both candidates to task. After the election, do you think whoever is declared winner will have time to address the masses or their wants? It would be time for them to govern, good or bad.

maclatunji:


This is closer to the point. INEC is not saying they have an issue with General Buhari's credentials. So, what are people going on about on both sides to the detriment of issues of governance that affect all of us?

It is like arguing about a football player's nationality when FIFA has approved them as a player of a team and they are on the field actively changing the outcome of matches. It is at the very least foolishness.

maclatunji:


This is ridiculous, what do we have a government for when you make going to court to seek justice look like detonating a nuclear bomb? It is better that we take proper steps to address issues rather than the macabre dance of the absurd that we keep engaging in.

AlfaSeltzer:


If INEC doesn't have an issue, we the people have an issue. I know what my family went through in order to pay for my education. I know what I have to hustle now in order to pay for my children's and some extended family's education. We are not making those sacrifices just to hand over power to and be led by a fraud who couldn't be bothered to sit his exams.

Enough is enough.

U sound aggrieved by not seeing the General personal detail as against what the law requires from him . Lamenting here won't help u.
Go to court and seek an order of " mandamus " to ensure the general come and display it in ur household.
Hopefully this will solve all ur family problems.

Demdem:
The truth of the matter is those clamouring to see his certificates won't even vote for him if he heeds to their demand so what's the point?
Sane Nigerians knows that this is no issue.
He should remain focus and continue to share his dream for a greater Nigeria.
To those fools that think the General won't campaign in se ss I hope u are taking note oooo.
Woe betide u if I see such nonsense from u again.

ilugunboy:


Exactly !

Not that presenting his certificates will make those asking for his certificates to change their mind from voting GEJ.....the attempt is just to ridicule and portray the Gen as an illiterate...

I think the General has been very focused so far.....not giving in to the distractions the PDP and the supporters are throwing at him......

They've done everything humanly possible to deviate the campaign from real topics to mundane and trivial issues.

whirlwind7:
My thoughts exactly.
The annoying thing is INEC's seeming complacency over the issue. As the regulator, umpire, screener and what have you, over all electoral affairs, why haven't they come out with a categorical statement over the issue, and put it to a final rest?
What criteria and or qualification did they accept when they accepted GMB as a contestant in the past 3 presidential elections and what changed between now and the 2011 election?

Demdem:


Can u imagine Ngwakwe, Deeperlifer demanding to see the General certificate when I can swear with my balls that even if the General has Straight As he won't still vote for him.
Is it wise to listen to these set of people but continue to move ahead?

eagleeye2:
I believe there are minimum standard of Educational Qualification for everyone aspiring into an elective office in Nigeria.
I don't care what GMB has been presenting to INEC in the past, but if INEC is asking for his certificate then he should provide a proof of it.
Why is this even an issue? If GMB is given a waiver on this one, INEC will be setting a dangerous precedence.

Bros,

There is nothing complacent in INECs handling of the matter. The issues is as clear as day. GMB has sworn an affidavit to the effect of his missing certs. The lists of his academic accomplishments are in the public domain. By law, the affidavit is the necessary step to declare the state of his missing certificates. GMB has sworn an affidavit, making him liable to any incorrectness.

The Onus is not on GMB to show any certificate, photocopy or whatever. He has chosen in his affidavit to refer to the Military Board, the custodian of copies.

The Onus is on anybody else who is not satisfied to prove otherwise. The social media war on GMB is stupid and unnecessary. All that is needed is to write to any of the institutions listed to authenticate what is claimed.

maclatunji:


Who determines if a candidate is qualified, you? me? You can check,[b][/b] I have not bothered commenting on this certificate issue because I think it is just ridiculous. It is either Buhari is qualified to run or he isn't. If INEC says he is qualified to run and you say he isn't, then by all means go to court. But for you not to do so and keep raising the issue means you are not serious about this country. #QED

It is a joke on the people.

atlwireles:


The party determines the qualification of a candidate. Inec has no power under current law to challenge any candidate presented by any registered party. Imagine a candidate without a birth certificate or proof of Nigerian citizenship. Inec cannot stop then from contesting.

Lies....

AlfaSeltzer:


To the polling station I will go. That's where it matters.
No need to go to court now. Buhari is not seeing the inside of the Aso Rock us he presents his certificates. Like PDP said, you guys can field an illiterate if you want. We calculate the miles after the race.

maclatunji:
Amazing how people cannot apply logic to this simple issue. It is the same reason Nigeria is not likely to achieve its true potentials anytime soon.

Something like this happened with Barack Obama and Donald Trump but at some point Americans had to leave Trump to rant because following him on the issue would be tantamount to stupidity. The reverse is happening here in Nigeria, with people holding on to the stupid part and leaving real issues that affect them.

mapet:


INEC is not asking for his certificate. INEC had stated it is OK with what GMB submitted. I don't know if many of you guys are simply ignorant or choose to be. INEC has asked any dissenting voice to go to court and secure a court injunction if you need copies of the certificate....

Demdem:


Before the certificate foolishness, u are not for him.
During the malady, u aren't for him.
Only a fool will think even if he shows u, u will suddenly be for him.
Nothing has change and his private property remains private. Vote for ur Jonathan.

ilugunboy:


Are you God?

The most you can do on that day is to vote against him...and your one vote can't stop him if he is destined to become the President.

BTW...he has seen the inner chambers of Aso Rock countless times......the question is...have you ever been to the first gate?

AlfaSeltzer:


Which is correct. The wahala is if he wins, (highly improbable). Then PDP will go to court and until the case is resolved, Jonathan is not handing over.....

CIA might be right afterall.

AlfaSeltzer:


Call us daft and clueless but you are showcasing your naivety for everyone to see. If you think campaigns are made to win over staunch voters of the opposition party, you are really the clueless one.

AlfaSeltzer:


[s]Why do we have to explain everything to these free-education kids?
Maybe that's why they are following the illiterate fellow; he's easier for them to understand[/s].

President Jonathan made a 2nd class (upper) from Uniport.
His MSc and Phd certificates are all available.
Buhari should show his certificates

Cast your one vote (that is if you are in possession of a PVC) next month for GEJ and stop shouting around for GMB certificates that would not sway your opinion if shove into your face.
