In their desperation, these PDP people keep making a fool of themselves trying to dig up dirt where there's none.

A man applied to join the military and submitted his credentials. 53 years later he is asked and he says (swears) the military has his documents. The military comes out to say they no longer have these credentials.

How does this story taint the integrity of the man?... This is more like an indictment of the Nigerian Army and not Buhari.

Continually searching for filth in Buhari's integrity is like searching for dirt in distilled water. My advise to PDP is to stick with their islamization / old man silly propaganda.

Sai buhari with or without cert....

We don't understand the APC's rationality of fielding an ancient illiterate to take charge of a relative sophisticated country like ours, we are looking at the crosshairs of greed,self interest and sheer desperation on the part of thieffnubu, Buhari et al.. Now the anticorrupt toga has been swept off Buhari's person and Nigerians can view the hypocritical disgusting scum that is buhari...it is like faeces sprayed with the costliest of perfumes and passed off -via massive propaganda,violence,intimidation and blackmail-to Nigerians as 'change'..

dabossman:


Ignorance and telling the truth to the best of your knowledge are two different things. How do we know that the army board isn't lying? Can they provide the copies of other officers who joined the army since 1960?

It is crystal clear for all to see why western education is a taboo in the core north.
If GMB is a stark illiterate as we are witnessing now that he can not defend his WASC,it is no surprise why the army
of youths especially Hausa and Fulan axis are all almajiris and potential BH bombers.

OREMUSSANCTUS:

Why did muhammad hated Jewish so much , enslaved , killed them and raped their women ? He hated Jewish people so much that he made it part islam to hate Jewish. Muhammad said in his famous authentic hadith that the day of judgment will not come untill all the Jews are killed by muslims.
Recently, a Pakistani religious leader, Pirzada Muhammad Raza Saqib Mustafai, said: "When the Jews are wiped out ... the sun of peace [will] begin to rise on the entire world." The same preaching is routinely done not only by clerics, but by politicians -- in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and elsewhere. This is not just Ahmedinijad; it is at the heart of Islamic theology that world peace will be established only when all the Jews are wiped from the earth. But few people in Western media are alarmed by this kind of rhetoric or care to expose this dreadful dark side of Islam's obsession with Jew-hatred.
I do not believe that one has to be an authority on human behavior or group thinking to find out the obvious pathology in Islamic Jew-hatred. It is time for all of us to uncover and expose this atrocity against the Jewish people. We owe that to humanity and the truth.
No true Muslim can see that such hatred is unbecoming and unholy for a world religion to focus on and that the credibility of Islam is tarnished by such hatred. No Muslim is allowed to go far enough to self-analyze or ask why such hatred. Muslims defend Jew-hatred by claiming that Jews betrayed Muhammad and thus deserve of this kind of treatment. Even when I was a Muslim, I believed that the one-sided story against Jews by Islam was enough to justify all the killing, terror, lies, and propaganda by Islamic leaders against Jews. To the average Muslim, routinely cursing Jews in mosques feels normal and even holy!
After a lot of thinking, analysis, research, and writing, I discovered that Jew -atred in Islam is an essential foundation to the Islamic belief system that Muslims cannot seem to be able to rid themselves of. Jew-hatred masks an existential problem in Islam. Islam is terrified of the Jews, and the number-one enemy of Islam is the truth, which must be constantly covered at any cost. It does not matter how many Muslim men, women, and children die in the process of saving Islam's reputation. The number-one duty of Muslims is to protect the reputation of Islam and Mohammad. But why would a religion burden its followers like that? This is why:
When Mohammed embarked on his mission to spread Islam, his objective was to create a uniquely Arabian religion, one created by an Arab prophet, which reflected the Arabian values and culture. Yet to obtain legitimacy, he had to link it to the two previous Abrahamic religions, Judaism and Christianity. He expected the Jewish tribes who lived in Arabia to declare him their Messiah and thereby bring him more legitimacy with Arabs, especially with his own tribe in Mecca, the Quraish. Because his own tribe had rejected and ridiculed him, Mohammed needed the approval of the Jews, whom he called the people of the book. But the conversion of Jews to Islam was part of the scenario that Mohammed had to accomplish in order to prove to Meccans that they had made a mistake by rejecting him.
That was one of the reasons Mohammed chose to migrate to Medina, a town that had predominantly been settled by Jewish tribes and a few impoverished Arabs who lived around the Jews. The Jews allowed Mohammed to move in. At the beginning, the Koran of Mecca was full of appeals to the Jews, who were then described as "guidance and light" (5:44) and a "righteous" people (6:153-154), who "excelled the nations" (45:16). But when the Jews rejected the appeasement and refused to convert to Islam, Mohammed simply and completely flipped. The Quran changed from love to threats and then pure hatred, cursing, and commandments to kill Jews. Rejection by the Jews became an intolerable obsession with Mohammed.
Not only did the Jews reject him, but their prosperity made Mohammed extremely envious. The Jewish Arabian tribes earned their living from legitimate and successful business, but Mohammed earned his living and wealth through warfare -- by attacking Arab tribes, some of whom were from his own tribe -- and trade caravans, seizing their wealth and property. That did not look good for a man who claimed to be a prophet of God. The mere existence of the Jews made Mohammed look bad, which led Mohammed to unspeakable slaughter, beheading of 600 to 900 Jewish men of one tribe, and taking their women and children as slaves. Mohammed had the first pick of the prettiest woman as his sex slave. All of this senseless slaughter of the Jews was elaborately documented in Islamic books on the life of Mohammed -- not as something to be ashamed of, but as justified behavior against evil people
One does not have to be psychiatrist to see the obvious: that Mohammad was a tormented man after the massacre he orchestrated and forced his fighters to undertake to empower and to enrich himself and his religion. To reduce his torment, he needed everyone around him, as well as future generations, to participate in the genocide against the Jews, the only people whom he could not control. An enormous number of verses in the Koran encouraged Mohammed's fighters to fight, kill, and curse Muslim fighters who wanted to escape fighting and killing Jews. The Quran is full of promises of all kinds of pleasure in heaven to those who followed Mohammed's killing spree and curses and condemnation to those who chose to escape from fighting. Muslims were encouraged to feel no hesitation or guilt for the genocide because it was not they who did it, but rather "Allah's hand."
Mohammed never got over his anger, humiliation, and rejection by "the people of the book" and went to his grave tormented and obsessed that some Jews were still alive. On his deathbed, Mohammed entrusted Muslims to kill Jews wherever they found them, which made this a "holy commandment" that no Muslim can reject. Muslims who wrote sharia understood how Mohammed was extremely sensitive to criticism, and that is why criticizing Mohammed became the highest crime in Islam that will never be forgiven even if the offender repents. Mohammed's message on his deathbed was not for his followers to strive for holiness, peace, goodness, and to treat their neighbors as themselves, but rather a commandment for Muslims to continue the killing and the genocide against the Jews. Killing thus became a holy act of obedience to Mohammed and Allah himself.
Mohammed portrayed himself as a victim of Jews, and Muslims must avenge him until judgment day. With all Arab power, money, and influence around the world today, they still thrive at portraying themselves as victims. Sharia also codified into law the duty of every Muslim to defend Mohammed's honor and Islam with his own blood, and allowed the violation of many commandments if it is for the benefit of defending Islam and Mohammed. Thus, Muslims are carrying a huge burden, a holy burden, to defend Mohammed with their blood, and in doing so they are allowed to kill, lie, cheat, slander, and mislead

That Aribisala is a confirm wee. Why is it now that he is writing article about Buhari's certificate? where is him all these years that Buhari has been contesting? Did Buhari not contest with Get in 2011? The bottom line is fear that is gripping Get camp

aguiyi:
our Yoruba brothers by name Femi have shown that sentiments aside, they are a force to reckon with when it comes to taking a stand and following it through.

They have also proven that they have certificates and can boldly show it to the world, you cant even dare to ask them for it cos they emit wisdom and good understanding of what they are doing.

we had the nerve to insist on Buharis showing his own

one is Fani the other is Aribisala, they are both femi and they are good at oratory, GEJ sure knows how to put square pegs in square holes.

no wonder the Russian ruble is crashing while the naira is a bit stable. recall that Russia is a world power while Nigeria is a third world country

xcolanto:


Bros, why would the army want to lie against a 'general'? please don't tell me GEJ has a hand in this as other e-urchins would say off some illegal substance. if indeed buhari attached his certificate to his enrolment form and the army states other wise, wouldn't all hell be let lose on the NA knowing they are deliberately slandering him? but buhari didn't question, argue or file any case against them because he knows they spoke the truth. I am sure officers from the 60's that have attached copies of their certificates in their application with the NA if questioned or requested would be made available by the NA.

dabossman:


Well, like I said in my initial post, I would like to see this go to court. I'm not here to discuss GEJ or Buhari, but the charge of perjury based on the scenario at hand and the possibility of making it stick. Let's see how the prosecution and the defense will state their case if it ever gets to court. However, note that even the army admitted in their press conference that they really do not know what the procedure was as far as submitting and storing of academic records back in 1961.

xcolanto:


well I must say your in luck today because the case has so far made its way to the courts as wished. see link:

keenly following up the case myself, its going to be an interesting one.. cheers

ayukdaboss:

See this one. Did the Ministry of Education, Katsina ever claim that they conducted the WASC examination in 1961? Besides the second document containing the list of students who sat for the examination in 1961 carried the logo of Cambridge University. Where did the Ministry claim they awarded Buhari a certificate in 1961 or is it possible that this lawyer too doesn't know the difference between a Statement of Result and a Certificate just like these silly TANoids?? Taking Buhari to court is not a problem, but the problem comes where you start using false stories as your defence.

Your moment of fame will soon be over Mr. Lawyer and by then you might have made a fool of yourself.

dabossman:


Modified my post in case you missed it. Oh, and I think the case in court is about eligibility, not perjury.

Just to add. How will the prosecution prove beyond reasonable doubt that Buhari was aware that his certificate was not with the army, or lied about it. I'll give you a personal experience. When I got into 100L in the university, I went to register at my department and was required to submit copies of my academic credentials (WAEC & JAMB). I met the course adviser just as he was leaving for a meeting. He gave me a form to fill and asked me to submit it with my academic results to the department's secretary as he couldn't wait. He clearly stated he would collect it from her. I did as I was told and went my way, a proud, registered jambite.

Fast forward to almost the end of the session and I go to check my 1st semester results like everybody only to be told I was not registered in the department and hence had no records or result in the department. Apparently, the course adviser never collected my credentials. (Only God knows what happened to it till date.) Now, I had been going about believing I was a member of the department, attending classes, writing exams, only to be giving a shocker after almost a year. Imaging if I had sworn to an affidavit that I was a student in that department (for whatever reason) only for someone to make a background check to confirm my claim. Would I be said to have committed perjury?

olisaEze:
my broda no vex but the result appears to a fake. And its really disappointing dt GMB wud b a part of ds. Its supposed 2b a document bearing 1961 results, but NECO is also written on d top of d certificate. And d result grading include B3 n E8 whn those grades were introduced in 2000.

adioolayi:
He should go to court or keep shut forever!

dabossman:
Personally, I can't see how anybody wants to prove that Buhari lied under oath. He swore to an affidavit based on what he believed to be true.

If a father who is not in possession of his kids birth certificate swears to an affidavit that all the children born to him by his wife are his, and later discovers (maybe through a DNA test) that one or all of the kids are actually not his; would you say he lied under oath. Hard to prove. He swore to the affidavit based on what he believed to be true. Is it possible that the army board could be in possession of his credentials (original or copies)? The answer is yes. Could they have lost it or destroyed it? Maybe. The burden of proof is on his accusers. I'd like to see this go to court. The case would be an interesting one.

The same trash from the same person that belong to team of incompetent man that cannot campaign on his achivements after almost six years in office. Shame on you femi, shame on you Jonathan for wasting all the goodwill given to you out hope that you will make a significant change in our lives.
Instead of you to admit that you failed us, and allow us to rest in peace, you begin to hire all these fo.o.ls to dance naked in the market to celebrate your failure.

If Buhari never submitted it to them in the first place then what is there to prove? He only said it was with them due to assumption and a high level of ignorance maybe stemming from old age or rapid forgetfulness as witnessed in several of his rallies nation wide. Afterall, he Buhari is not disputing the fact that the NA doesn't have it, that's why he offered to go to his school in his statement to obtain it. So there's no question that the NA docked or tampered with the said document because it was never there in the first place.


Not into law or psychology but for a 100 level student you had way too much laxity on your side. You should have gone to the department's secretary to confirm if indeed your course adviser had received the documents you had placed in her possession for him and not assume it had been passed on before you started parading yourself as a legitimate student, knowing the Nigerian educational system, that was a major error on your side. furthermore, you cannot swear to something you are not a 100% sure off, assuming this was a life and death situation would you have just gone ahead to swear on your life that your course adviser had received your document when you never saw it for yourself?

My point is, if you are not sure and accurate on a matter, never swear an oath to its accuracy. if in doubt you should make an inquiry to ascertain the status before confidently taking a stand.

to answer your question, yes you have committed perjury through assumption and ignorance which is no excuse in law.

sonnie10:


There is nothing to show that he ever presented any certificate to the army in the first place. The army have said that they are not sure what the practice was in 1961 about credential verification. What this means is that he has no witness, whether and individual or an organization who can claim that they have ever seen the alleged certificate.
