It is a constitutional requirement that each candidate show his or her certificate. Everybody has done so except Buhari. Buhari can get hold of a copy of his certificate if he contacts WAEC office or Cambridge University. What's stopping him?

I've been thinking along the same lines and I have a feeling that it is the General Buhari's camp that is actually distracting the PDP.

But on a more serious note, why do our people like concentrating on trivia so much?

PUSH1:
Well it seems that they are being unfair. Cert comes every four years or so I guess. Look at an instances where a person get admission while he is still in secondary school maybe ss2. He can sure clear with his transcript, no doubt. It is as good as the certificate because it contains unedited grades from the exam board. Anybody can manipulate the certificate but It's not possible with transcripts.

He is also not obliged to wear the anti corrupt toga since Nigerians have now seen the light....

CHM11:

Dude it is a pressing issue if he wants to become my president (since he didn't allow the like of fashola to vie for the presidential sit because its the birthright of the North) then he should meet the basic requirement.

You talked about having a diploma...this is flawed.
If the minimum requirement to enter Chevron is a graduate trainee is a second class upper in engineering or sciences and you come with a 2'2 + MSc and PhD, you will not be employed because you simply do not have a 2'1 at BSc level.

Additionally, you can only be offered the chance to get a diploma if you have your o'level. Its this O'level that people are requesting, GMB should do the needful and request for copies of his O'level from WAEC and/or Cambridge and shut critics up.

As for me I am not in any camp, but as a son of a millitary officer, I know how so many northern officers were favoured in place of other more qualified southern officers back then. A northerner who knows nothing, does not have any qualification or intelligence would be promoted to the rank of Brig gen while southern officers will still remain colonels.

Its still happening today, NNPC is crowded with Northerners who have NCE, OND and HND in some weird courses while southerners with BSc, BEng, MSc and other outstanding qualifications in applicable engineering and science disciplines are jobless. This country doesn't belong to a set of persons. It is OUR country. I am still waiting for a time when we will not have a northerner in power either as president or vice..... We in the south here are not fools. (Some will say we've passed the stage of tribe and religion but performance, tell that to Buhari and APC, they are the ones who zoned the ticket to the muslim North. If they wanted true change they would have given us Fashola)

jaybee:


Sorry sir, Buhari does not know WAEC or Cambridge. He only knows the school he attended and sat for the exams. He did not register directly with these bodies as an independent (external or private) candidate. he has no business with WAEC or Cambridge Univeristy

If you ever went to school and wrote WAEC internal exam would you go to WAEC office and ask for your result? It is the responsibility of the school to convey the results to you. so your insinuation here is dumb and mischievous.

Hope you learn something here.

PUSH1:
Tell us how much GEJ stole? GMB has proved to his fellowers to be near upright and an honest man. That is the quality leader nigeria need at the moment with other issues pending. Only a fool will talk about ethinc and religion bullshit in the present condition of this country where we have schools built without proper accreditation and facilities, where dollars has skyrocketed to $200/N1. No employment for the youths. All saying are on paper and not physical. It's time to think deep. Poverty does not know Muslims or chrsitan. It does not know IBO,Yourba or Hausa. It's time for change or we forever regret it.

AlfaSeltzer:


Is that what you advise Nigerians to do henceforth when applying for jobs? Give their future employers their exam numbers and years and direct them to waec office?

jaybee:


man, take it easy with Mr. Buhari. He is the man Nigeria needs now to avert the collapsing security, economic and political structures. Your pay master has managed to destroy a promising country. Reduce your unfounded hate for Buhari by listening to reason and being reasonable in your thoughts. otherwise, the way you are treading may suggest (double conditional) that you will have hypertension on February 14 after the announcement of the new president GMB. I don't wish you go to that extent.

Rincewind:
Why are you guys thinking like this, I an ordinary citizen without a bsc not involved in politics and conspiracy certainly know that a 1960's result aint graded like it is now and that one person can't sign waec and Cambridge as they are different institutions. So how do u expect someone who has advisers and lawyers who can create loopholes where there arent to commit this kind of blunder? I think it's PDP that released that result to further cause confusion amongst we Nigerians

Redoil:
tbaba123 people use fake result to gain admission into a state university and they succeded even if the person is having Phd from cambridge or hardvard does that nullifies his SSCE?

CHM11:
WAEC said the same, so why is it so Hard for Buhari to do the needful and shut critics up instead of swearing affidavits and writing all sorts of mediocre statement of result here and there.

If he wants to be my President then he should know we are no more in the military setting and he must play by the rules of a democratic society. Request your result from waec or cambridge, get it forwarded to INEC and let's move on to the Next pressing issue

[s]Bittching and moaning won't get the lovable General off the ballot so stop traumatizing yourself...see you and your crooked, useless, worthless, corrupt and incompetent master at the polls... [/s]

knowledgeable:


The argument is for him to make that request simple, so we all can move on. But Orlando, you know at the bottom of your heart, GEJ had a good start to transform and diversifies the different sectors of the economy before the distractions set in. You also know, if you want to be truthful to your self, that he is already well positioned to deal with the negative head winds and trends that Nigeria will be battling with in the months ahead. His economic policies are already on top of those negative head winds and trends. After this election, I strongly believe he wil hit the ground running on issues like corruption and insecurity cos the message has been delivered to him in the strongest term by the people. On the other hand, it will take Buhari quite a considerable amount of time to digest these head wind and negative trends heading toward Nigeria. GEJ till 2019!!!!

Was it ever a pressing issue?

sonnie10:


So you are still voting for Buhari after all these?

tbaba1234:
This whole discussion of Buhari’s qualification is a negative distraction from the legitimate process of electioneering which should involve issues, records of the candidates, their character, and their capacity to govern. These are things we should be talking about. The constitution is very clear on the issue of qualification. It states that you are qualified to be a President if you have achieved the level of school certificate or its equivalent. Buhari has been to Military College in Britain, he has been to colleges in India and USA, involving high level of training and intellect. We need to ask if participation and completion of courses at these levels and the basic officers training in Mons Officers Cadet School are less than school certificates. On the contrary, you need school certificate to attend those courses. So, if he has attended all those courses, then there is absolutely no need to be talking about secondary school certificates anymore. ~

CHM11:

Something that got you and I talking, something all over the news on TV, radio, and the papers... I think it may not be our biggest problem as a nation, but it is a pressing issue.

jaybee:


Are you saying you are so simple and gullible that the pdp will succeeded in confusing, maneuvering and distracting you into contemplate to vote for corruption and societal decay personified by GEJ?

Come on put on a right thinking cap think straight and act reasonably. VOTE GMB, and encourage your frends and family to VOTE GMB so that we may have a country once again.

Remember in 2011 people voted for gej and not pdp. hahahahahahah, now they can see the difference between gej and pdp.

once again,[size=14pt] VOTE wisely; VOTE GMB, i mean Vote General Muhammadu Buhari of APC[/size]

ichidodo:
Seriously where does APC recruit these airheads??

great664:
what's is this one saying? Before u quote me think of a better thing to say. GEJ administration is corrupt and millions getting away without him knowing, same away billions left without GMB knowing too as PTF Chairman.

alaoeri:

Buhari has told you ppl his exam no & year if you are still doubting do the needful by visiting waec office, in case you ain't still satisfy head straight to court. Do you think PDP won't have carried out their research up to this level? that is why they can't charge him to court but result in media propaganda. If PDP are sure that Buhari isn't a college graduate, I dare them to officially charge him to court, awon smellos.

Kagame:


The WASC issue is indeed a pressing issue.

This is an issue that borders on trust,integrity and uprightness,which has been the main selling point of GMB.

While I agree that politics is not fair,as Buhari is eminently qualified to contest for any position in the land ,by virtue of having served in the army.

But what legacy would we leave for our generation and generations unborn if we let this slide? Is ours a country of anything goes? Are there different rules for different folks?

Please lets not lower our standards because Buhari is involved!

CHM11:


Someone with a brain should just read this!!!.....
So if you lose your WAEC certificate (as Buhari is claiming) you will go back to your secondary school for them to issue you another one right?
I can imagine the school you attended.
FYI, when you lost your certificate, you immediately swear an affidavit. When the need for your certificate arises, you make your demands to the WAEC for verification and not your secondary school.
If you have problems as regards stolen certificate, name error, date of birth error et al, you direct your request to the institution that offered you that certificate, in this case WAEC office!...
Now I hope YOU HAVE LEARNED SOMETHING??

Jaybee: why are you that daft? that's the problem with hate! it takes away one's conscience and reason. you become like someone with eyes but can not see.

The principal signed the release of the cambridge university result master-list. He only took responsibility for releasing the result into the public domain. He did not claim to have administer the exams or manufacture the results.

Chai!! Most Nigerian youth or so narrow-minded, and I bet you that is one of the major reason prompting GMB to keep contesting for presidency at 72 instead of enjoying his retirement watching his cows. There are just not worthy leaders within the horizon (not as if they are not there, but honestly, within reach, they are a hugely scarce commodity). cool down on your baseless hate and reason for a moment you will understand GMB's patriotic and altruistic position.
