Smh. This are the clowns asking for certificate. An illegal student is one who was never admitted into the institution in the first place. Which makes him not a student of the sch. If attending lectures and scoring good grade makes him qualified the question is, is he a student of the sch?
How does this logic apply to Buhari, is Buhari not a Nigerian, there by qualified to run for thr office of the president. Ir is Buhari and illegal Nigerian? This have been over flogged. I advise u read carefullly, and understand reasonably and stop littering the internet with hate instigated poo.
oga, what qualifies Bubu from running for president is NOT just being a nigeria, it is "a nigerian with O'level / 55 years of age etc). running for president without a valid cert is the same as running for SUG president without the required CGPA.
tell BUBU to return with his WASC and use the money for SAn to pay NDA so that we can have light. Sheogbon?

my dear, what u r saying does not count. it does not matter at what point the truth is unveiled, the truth will surely crumble every foundation, even the lintel or roof level sef. if such a student is not termed illegal, then wat is the term for such a person. it does not matter how many of the requirements u met,so long it's not complete, u r not fit (legal). No one is saying pmb is not a Nigerian; as all things being equal, despite having other credentials that make him eligible, one is only challenging his eligibility based on his wasc result.

If it's not by owning a certificate, then what is it by? What didn't the previous president have that this one has? Special cochlear infections? The ability to pick the worst looters? Drop your bias. Tell us what this one has that the other didn't. Is it integrity that crumbled at a school leaving certificate or from his non existent assets declaration? Or because he's talking about "crush the militants" and "reserve grazing land for Libyan herdsmen"?

Grow up.

My attention has been drawn to the fact that GMB hired 13 SANs and 10 lawyers to defend his inability to show the world his WAEC Certificate. That is not good for this democracy…

They said the Military board under GEJ hid GMB's WAEC certificate Today, GMB is President. So who is still hiding Buhari's certificate...

We are not wailing for GMB to show us his certificate (you can't give what you don't have) But to let the world know the scam that he is.

We need to let future generations know that Once upon a time, A Nigerian President was scammed into office without a basic WAEC Certificate

Posterity and future generations need to know That a President was asked to show his WAEC Certificate but he rather went to bring 13 SANs.

Pls shed more light on the bolded below. I would like to understand how "getting rid" of Saraki translates into our Senators choosing to reduce their wages and entitlements(some earn an average of N1M a day).

And what happens to The Reps? Is the same strategy to be carried out there or is Dogara exempted from such treatment for some reason?



this same joker would be shouting dictatorship if buhari went full 1984 on our senators. [/b]they are the last bastion of government profligacybut until buhari gets rid of saraki there's not much that can be done about them.[b]

OBJ was mostly able to keep the reps in check. however, his ghana must go diplomacy set a bad precedent, and after he left the reps basically became laws unto themselves. in obj's time they were using peugeots as official cars. these outrageous allowances did not exist. i attribute that partly to david mark, and the weak executive.

if PMB successfully cuts off the head, i believe the rest of them will fall in line. they are all a bunch of corrupt self serving jokers with all sorts of skeletons in their cupboards. the FG may not have the resources to go after all of them, but making an example of the most corrupt of them will send a clear message that it is not business as usual, and that any of them can be kicked out.



http://www.premiumtimesng.com/politics/188993-nigeria-to-cut-senators-reps-jumbo-pay.html

Following President Muhammadu Buhari’s order directing the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) to address public outcry over huge salaries and allowances of members of the National Assembly, the chairman of the commission, Elias Mbam, said on Tuesday that Senators and members of the House of Representatives will earn less than N1 million by the end of next month.

Speaking at the State House after Mr. Mbam made presentation on the activities and challenges of the commission, President Buhari chided the RMAFC for approving excessive remunerations for some political office holders, and urged the commission to seek a proper interpretation of its powers and address the public outcry against the unreasonably high payments.

President Buhari also warned that severe sanctions will be visited on any individual or organisation that violates the directive on the payment of all national revenue into the Federation Account.

President Buhari spoke a week after PREMIUM TIMES published details of the federal lawmakers’ salaries and allowances, a publication that sparked widespread public anger against the lawmakers, with many calling a drastic cut.

But in his response to reporters’ questions after meeting the president, the RMAFC boss said the commission had been working on the review of the salaries and allowances of the political office holders at National Assembly, the State Assemblies and Local Governments, adding that the review also covers the Judiciary.

Agreed, the conditions of the country are definitely worse but lets try and be objective... The price of oil internationally dropped from around $100 to $30 around the time Buhari was inaugurated and Nigeria being a mono-economy inevitably suffered... If past governments had diversified the economy it wouldn't be this bad

IF past government have done all Buhari is supposed to do,
of what use is voting for Buhari in the first place ?
