Illiteracy, Ignorance And Deliberate Misinformation Fueling Political Criticisms by StOla: 8:24pm On Nov 03, 2018

Buhari is the most corrupt Nigerian President ever

WAEC 1952-2018 = 66yrs
Buhari 1942-2018 = 75yrs (Dec)

75 - 66 = 9yrs

Back then in the days u are expected to be in primary 1 at the age of 6yrs

For u to finish Pri and Sec Sch u hv to spend minimum of 18yrs

PMB IS A ROGUE


The above is a perfect example of the toxic combination of what illiteracy, Ignorance and deliberate misinformation can cause in the general public, when you realise that this faulty analysis was liked by over 200 similar illiterates who have even ironically poked fun at Buhari for not passing Mathematics at O'levels.


WAEC was established in 1952, so now in 2018 it is 66yrs.
Buhari was born in 1942, so now in 2018 he is 75yrs but will be 76yrs as at December.

The difference in age between Buhari and WAEC is 76 - 66 = 10yrs.

This means Buhari that was born in 1942 is 10yrs older than WAEC, and not that he was 10yrs (9yrs) when he sat for WAEC. So Buhari being 10yrs in 1952 when WAEC was created, then wrote the O'level exams in 1961 as a 19yr old.

This was a deliberate conclusion by the above quoted fellow who sought to misinform many who were actually hoping to be misinformed because they need a reason to continue being miserable, and the fact that many liked the outcome of the mathematical analysis without verifying it is testament to this.

It is a deliberately dubious mathematics because even the originator has already stated that Buhari was born in 1942 and that WAEC was established in 1952.

Such similar dubious mathematical analysis is a favourite staple of those who oppose the President, including the political party PDP is guilty of this mathematical rubbish, which arrives at an arithmetic value and then ascribe it to the false conclusion and misinformation that was intended.

People only want to see and read what would make them justified in their criticism of the president, and they love this particular result propaganda that has now been killed but which they are trying their futile best to resurrect.
