Still reacting to General Tarfa's claim that in their time, there was no need for school certificate before entering the Nigerian Army, yet Ojukwu Joined the same army with Oxford University Degree.

PLEASE READ.

Emeka, as he was fondly called, began his educational career in Kings College, Lagos in southwestern Nigeria. He got into trouble by participating in anti-colonial demonstrations with such seniors as Anthony Enahoro. At 13, his father sent him overseas to Great Britain to study at Epsom College, England. He left Epsom at 18 for Lincoln College, Oxford. At Oxford University, he obtained a bachelor’s degree in modern history. After graduate studies, he retuned to colonial Nigeria. This was in 1956.

If someone is told to deny Christ or acknowledge
another religion or god under the threat of death, is
it sinful to give in out of fear? I know modern culture
doesn’t demand this kind of heroic virtue, but in
Revelation 2:10, Jesus says, “Be faithful unto
death." Is it sinful to deny Christ under threat of death?

What is the noise of Ojukwu joining the Army with his Oxford all about? As at 1965, according to Adewale Ademoyega, in addition to Ojukwu and himself, university graduates like Emmanuel Ifeajuna, Rotimi and one other officer, were already in the Army.

Some of you just say what you know nothing about. If the north made use of quota system, how come as at 1966 the east had more officers than the north and the west combined?

Because the recruitment exercise then was merit based, enthrone merit and the east dominates.

It was obvious why the war victors first move was to replace merit with mediocrity aka quota system/ federal character, as that was the only way they could prevent Igbo re emergence and dominance,and in so doing, they sealed the fate of Nigeria as a failed state.

Buhari and some northerners were drafted into the army, even though they didn't meet the minimum requirement,because they were the best the North could offer. So few of them were picked to give the north some representation.

The colonial Army was merit based, it shouldn't be a surprise that the North/west were poorly represented in the colonial army.

You've spoken wisely. And thats the reason they are fighting good with evil just to upturn the apple cart, and return Nigeria to the road of mediocrity and pedition.
Jonathan runs a Nigeria of equal right. No preference and the enemies of Nigeria see this as a threat to the mediocrity status quo, hence the need to remove him by all means!

GEJ is the best thing that has happened to Nigeria since 1966.

No human group is inferior to the other. Enthrone and enforce merit, and watch the Northerners lift up their standards and compete favourably with everyone else,once they see that there is no other alternative means to compete.

Injustice is when an Eagle is forced to walk to accommodate the chicken that has wings like the eagle, but has gotten too fat and too lazy to fly like the Eagle.

GEJ represents Equity,merit, justice and fairness, these are qualities that form the foundation of every successful nation on earth, qualities Nigeria lacked pre GEJ era.

since 1966 Nigeria has been run by northern mediocres and this has affected the country considerably. GEJ has tried in leveling the playing ground yet the same mediocres are trying to besmirch his name in the mud.

Try to understand before you qoute or @ least format you brain to remove tribalism. What is being said is that Ojukwu joined the army as a graduate and someone is claiming that WASC was not required then before joining the military, what you just posted above confirms that Buhari joined the army through the back door. If Adegboyega and co joined the army as a graduate why should Buhari join without ordinary WASC?? I hpe u understand now!!!

@OP Ojukwu joined as a graduate and straight to be commissioned. He never had to pass throught any NDA.

Buhari joined with SSCE or SS3 and straight to NDA. He got commissioned after graduating from NDA. This isn't different from what is obtained today. What is your point?
Ojukwu did not rise to the peak of his army career because he declared a War against the State. Which is treasonable and get him fired by Gowon administration (you may disagree though). Hence, he paused as a Colonel. Buhari remained in the Army and became Head of State, he was left in his Major General rank because the new junta retired him. He would have been a full General if he had served out his years of service.
What is your argument?

Ojukwu joining the army with a bachelor's degree doesnt mean anyone who joined with wasc isnt qualified. These days people join graduate trainee in organisations like shell for instance with a phd while some join with just a bsc. only the army can decide what is enough to join them
