This is naija not USA or UK. The voting citizens of every country have different kinds of issues that they are particular about. Nigerians are not particular about certificate. Let's talk about what Nigerians care about.

Moukandjo:

Simple question: Do you know of any attestation of result issued by WAEC that has the certificate number of the original on it? I just want to be clear you've come across one before because u dey talk like person wey don see one before!
Even if you've seen, how do you expect to get or trace the certificate number of a certificate that's missing without a photocopy?
So such person isn't entitled to an attestation of result?

Moukandjo:

Buhari obviously doesn't have a copy of his original certificate like this guy did, & that was what WAEC used to get the number!

duality:


So in which area has Buhari fared better than the others

tc1od:
WAEC Was Established In 1952:66 Years Ago. PMB Was Born In 1942: 76 Years. 66-76 Is Equal 10. He Sat For WAEC @ Age 10. Wonderful!

Almaiga:


Bro, it is called Democracy. You can't force your candidate on me or other Nigerians. I see a better candidate in Buhari.

Peace.

Almaiga:
Trash.
Nigerian's are wiser now, we no longer vote based on the candidate's certificate. Goodluck Jonathan has all the certificate in the world yet, he ended up as the most clueless and Corrupt President Nigeria has ever had. President Buhari is doing well and we are ready to re-elect him in 2019.
I pity u and ur generation,dullards!!!!

Sai Baba.Sai baba indeed!I pity u and ur generation.U reason like a slowpoke

ShowYourCertificate:
False!

WAEC don't rely on the photocopy provided by the applicant to fish out his Certificate number. They have every record of every Certificate they issued. Relying on the photocopy of applicants will be dangerous as one can forge a Certificate with a fake number and make a photocopy of it which they can submit to WAEC requesting for Attestation.

ShowYourCertificate:
Have I seen? Did you not see the Attestation Certificate of a Buhari Supporter that was posted by the OP? It clearly showed the Original Certificate number. That number is an evidence that there was a Certificate before. It's just similar to an International Passport that's been renewed. Apart from the main Passport Number, there's the Old Passport Number as well. That Old Passport Number is an evidence that the bearer had a former passport that expired and is being renewed

BoneBlogger:
The controversy surrounding the West African School Certificate (WASC) Examination result of President Muhammadu Buhari was laid to rest on Friday as the West African Examination Council (WAEC) handed to the President the attestation of the certificate issued to him in 1961.

This sparked outrage among Nigerians who feel the president and the examination body are being dishonest over the issued certificate as they want to know why the President’s current passport photograph was used in the new certificate for an exam which was written in 1961.

However, WAEC went further to explain – “since it is an attestation and not the original certificate, the passport photograph that was submitted during application is the one that would appear on the certificate when ready.”

A man identified as Ebiware Tevin took to Facebook this morning to enlighten Nigerians on the issue of current passports used for attestation certificate as he shared pictures of his friend's WAEC certificate to use as an example.

But Nigerians noticed something else as it was discovered that the president's WAEC attestation certificate does not have original certificate number as seen in the man's certificate below.

Buhari's original certificate number shows N/A which is not supposed to be so since it was stated that he wrote the exam many years ago.

Nigerians are now asking what happened to the omission of the original certificate number on the president's certificate.

Moukandjo:

So in other words, WAEC forged its own attestation of result for Buhari, right?
Nothing wey person no go hear from our desperate IPIGs & PDP sycophants!

ionsman:


Did you see where he said his friend was lucky to still have a photocopy which he tendered?

Did you see Buhari's registration number on that certificate? That alone can be used to verify if a candidate actually sat for an exam(don't know if you can go as far as 1961).

On WAEC's website, the requirements for an attestation includes a photocopy of your certificate(where applicable) which the old man has no hold of.

Enough of this pettiness and redundant talks.

ShowYourCertificate:
Well I didn't say that. But it's possible. It's all about sycophancy by the management working in the Nigerian branch of WAEC.

Let me ask you this question, why didn't Buhari go pick up his attestation certificate before 2015? Why didn't he go pick it up in 2018? Why is it that WAEC had to send its top management to deliver Buhari's Certificate to him? Why is it that buhari didn't apply for this Attestation but was yet given? Why did Buhari swear under oath that his results are with the military when in actual fact it's missing?

Did you know that you have to submit a police report before WAEC can give an attestation? Did Buhari do that? No he did not. Because if he did, it would contradict the oath he took.

The fact remains that WAEC did not administer that exam, it was University of Cambridge. So they have no justification to attest to a Certificate which they didn't issue or to attest to a result they didn't issue. It's just sychophancy that's making this WAEC guys doing what they shouldn't be doing.

We are not saying he should be disqualified. After all, he contested before, so he can contested again. Nigeria has not yet matured up to the point where documentation matters. However we just want voters to know we are dealing with a person who is not telling us the full truth on this certificate issue. We want Nigerians to know that Mr Integrity is not a man of integrity after all.

Moukandjo:

1) Who told you Buhari didn't apply for attestation but was given?

Shehu, in an interview with SUNDAY PUNCHon Saturday, said WAEC authorities made it clear that they read about the controversy generated by the President’s missing certificate and saw the need to save the council’s integrity.

The presidential spokesman added, “No, the President did not apply for the documents. I made this clear in an opinion I wrote on Friday.

“The presentation of the documents to the President was strictly an initiative of WAEC.

“They said they read about the controversy on the pages of newspapers and saw the need to save the integrity of the council.”

Shehu had, in an opinion, titled ‘President Buhari, WAEC and PDP’s toxic air’, on Friday, quoted the examination body as saying that the controversy concerning Buhari’s school certificate was embarrassing and felt a sense of duty to produce and deliver the documents to him.

He had said, “This is a god-send, with WAEC being a non-political entity. This should put to rest the absurd allegations by the Peoples Democratic Party, brought up again and again, that he (Buhari) did not attend a secondary school.”

ShowYourCertificate:
Well he claimed he didn't while WAEC claimed he did. The news was in the Punch and was even featured here on nairaland.

Here is the exerpt:

Moukandjo:

What's the meaning of "well"? WAEC has just cleared the air by telling you the overzealous Garba was wrong & that Buhari himself applied for the document which is why he got it, so?
Or WAEC's clarification doesn't suit your agenda?

ShowYourCertificate:
Lol you are very funny. Buhari's spokesperson said Buhari didn't apply for the attestation certificate and you chose to believe what WAEC said over him. I wonder when WAEC became the spokesperson for Buhari. So it's Garba that's now the overzealous person and not WAEC

zombieTRACKER:


I wonder really... Jonathan was a dumbo in office

Moukandjo:

But you're not the funny one who chooses what issues to believe Garba Shehu on, right? How's it possible for WAEC to give Buhari the document without him requesting for it, albeit one way or the other, even if na by force/threat? You suppose dey think na!

Ekajuk:
you wanted someone with NEPA certificate, don't blame GEJ....the fraud and gang up against him was huge

ShowYourCertificate:
Did Buhari requested for the Statement of Result from the school Principal? No he didn't. Did Buhari write to the Military to provide him his Certificate which they are in possession of? No he didn't. Did Buhari write to university of Cambridge (WASC). no he didn't. Did he write WAEC requesting for his Certificate? No he didn't.

He never did. All he did was to tell INEC that his Certificate is with the Military without making any effort to confirm or retrieve his Certificate. He made no effort because he knows Nigerians are very malleable. Many politician will follow his precedent. Major Hamzat Mustapha, Senator Adeleke, Dino Melaiye, Kemi Adeosun comes to mind.

Moukandjo:

You're really pained, man! You've moved from the unintelligent claim that WAEC gave Buhari the attestation just because they wanted to & not due to any form of request from Buhari, to all these talks! At least, you already see how unintelligent that your claim is!
Now, let's address these your new set of balderdash one by one again:
1) Who told you Buhari didn't request/hasn't requested for a statement of result from his high school?

ShowYourCertificate:
Bro any one reading our comments will know you are the one that's so riled up and bitter and biased and discombobulated.

And to your question, if Buhari had requested for his statement of result back then in 2015 or now, why didn't he submit that to INEC. Why is he still referring to the nonexistent certificate with the military? I'm responding to your question with a question because I want you to think.

Moukandjo:


You're this close to tears, bro, just because a man you love to hate has buried the propaganda you had hoped to use this period! Even your username & date of registration shows how bitter you are & have been for a long time! Calm down!

You want me to think & you wholeheartedly believe WAEC presented a document to Buhari without him having any cause to ask for it in any sort of manner! Funny boy! You should be teaching yourself how to think instead!

Now, you've assumed again that he didn't request for a statement of result in 2015, but when you're asked why you made such claim, you go dumb! Stop assuming, boy, & find out properly before making unintelligent claims!

ShowYourCertificate:

University of Cambridge just said yesterday that they still have Buhari's results and that he can get it once he applies for it. They even repeated same last 4 years. Why haven't Buhari applied to get it? Why did he still preferred Swearing Affidavit every time he wants to submit documents to INEC? Think bro, think; D

The examination body in a statement yesterday, said it was responding to inquiries by Nigerians interested in authenticating Buhari’s certificate.

Cambridge, a United Kingdom-based examination body, oversaw the conduct of final year secondary school examination in Nigeria and placement into foreign universities in the 1960s.

The examination body, however, said that for it to release a candidate’s certificate, the student must request for it.

“We can only confirm or verify results at the direct request of or with the permission of a candidate.This is in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulations, Data Protection Act 2018 and section 40 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
