Qualification for Election

2. A person shall be qualified for election to the office of President or the National Assembly if:-

(a) he is a citizen of Nigeria;

(b) in the case of President, he has attained the age of 40 years;

(c) in the case of Senator, he has attained the age of 35 years;

(d) in the case of Member of House of Representatives, he has attained the age of 30 years;

(e) he has been educated up to at least the School Certificate level or its equivalent; and

(f) he is a Member of a Political Party and is being sponsored by that party.


Please see item (e). - Educated up to at least School Cert or its equivalent. Would you agree that graduation from NDA is at least equivalent to WASC. If NDA is not good enough, how about graduation from MONS Officer training in the UK. What about graduation from US War College. I'm sure we can all agree that they are at least equivalent to WASC.

U.S. ARMY WAR COLLEGE FELLOWSHIP @ UT

Since 1992, the U.S. Army has partnered with the University of Texas at Austin (UT) in a one-year resident Fellowship for Army officers.

Selected colonels and lieutenant colonels attend UT in lieu of the Army War College resident program at Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania, and receive the award of Military Education Level One -- the highest level of formal military education.

Through access to the world-class educational assets of a top tier university, Fellows prepare to meet the demands of strategic-level thinking and senior leadership that will be required as they guide the Army into the future.

We are talking about the highest level of formal military education, the same education the finest military men in the world like former US presidents, Colin Powell and others received and these jokers are talking about school cert...

Talk about very shallow people......

SweetJoystick:
Of recent there has been doubts about GMB attending the US war college, a plaque of his graduating set/colleagues has been in circulation today. People still doubt the authenticity of the plaque saying it was photoshoped. Well, to clear doubts of many, I went a step further, contacting the school.

The internet is accessible to everyone, doubting Thomas's can access the US war college site, contact the school and confirm if he GMB attended the school or not, the year of his graduation, you can probe further and ask questions; what degree or certificate was issued to him after graduation or what criterion was used for his admission.


Attached is mail I sent to the school, response I got, the time I sent it and the time I received a reply from the school.

The above link also provides photos from the US war college year book


The APC has also released a statement on his original certificates saying he lost them all during IBB's coup/raid which overthrew is government.

The Nigerian army has also said it has copies of GMB certificates, it's left for him to apply if he needs it. You can keep ranting with #buharishowusyourcertificate #buhariwhereisyourcertificate

I honestly wonder how people think one can rise through the ranks in the NA without a secondary school certificate

You should also wonder why a section of Nigerians are slow and unintelligent.

Even if God descends from heaven to show them his certificate, they either keep spewing the same rubbish or find some other nonsense to cry over... .

The fact is, this is not about certificate, this is just an extension of their age old anger, bitterness, pettiness, tribalism and bigotry.

Agukagu:
For your information I was already in the university during Buhari's brutal regime. I am therefore eminently qualified to give a sound assessment of GMB. Buhari was an iron fisted dictator that trampled on the rights of Nigerians. I am absolutely sure that he can not tolerate half of the insults meted to GEJ. Unfortunately many Nigerians sees brutality as strength but to me GMB was a weakling. The principal actor in his draconian government was brigadier Tunde Idiagbon. When IBB struck in 1985 coupe GMB was like a lame duck because Idiagbon was away to mecca on pilgrimage.

I am appalled that you do not know that the north leverages on quota system to the detriment of qualified Nigerians in virtually all federal establishments. Buhari joined the army when military is for school drop outs and never do wells. I will not be shocked if he does not have O'level certificate because even in my university days in the 80s some northern universities admit northerners with mock certificate on condition that they pass their GCE before graduating. Nigerian army those days are for blockheads especially the northerners who were admitted on quota basis. Please spare me the story GMBs intelligence because he doesn't have it. You live in USA, so you understand the level of intelligence in the military over there but that is not the case in Nigeria

On another hand I have a low opinion of anyone disparaging a PhD degree because I know the level of effort needed for a post graduate study. GMB because of his low literacy level will lack the capacity to understand economic indices and intricate diplomacies. Did you hear that he said he will stabilize oil price. You can not give what you do not have. Besides why should APC be fielding a senile candidate when there are vibrant people that can fit in the present dispensation. When I am in my 70s I will like to take the back stage while my son takes charge. Presently my parents look up to me for leadership. The change we yearn for is not in the past because the past can not be better than the future. You cannot look forward while still looking backward. GMB's past era is entirely a different setting and can not fit in democratic setting.

Story Story Story.


This is 2015 and under your worthless and incompetent GEJ, Nigerians are widely divide, corruption is raging out of control thanks to your crooked and corrupt stealing is not corruption president, thousands of Nigerians have died, hundreds of thousands displaced, towns and villages destroyed, Nigeria is not territoriality complete because he lost almost an entire state to terrorists and there is institutional lawlessness from top to bottom...

Nigerians are sick and tired of your worthless president.

Balkan:
going by your analysis, ok . Let's agree has all those high qualifications. But the basic question is that you must pass you common entrance before you gain admission into a secondary school. You must pass your WAEC, G C E or it's equivalent before you are admitted into a tertiary institution or enlisted in the millitary before you start flying high to the level Buhari claimed. If any of this link is missing that means you forged your result. Remember people pass GAMB without WEAC and find their way to university but one day the pharaoh that does not no Moses might come.
Where my wife work, the were asked to produce their WEAC result along with their degree certificate. Most people were fired because you can't get a degree cirtificate without having your WEAC certificate or it's equivalent.

Buhari show us you basic education certificate WAEC or It's equivalent.

Unfortunately for you and your type, he doesn't owe you a damn thing. He's obviously satisfied INEC several elections before and now so you and your irrelevant votes remains irrelevant.

Forwetinnah:
Really?? Let us see the certificates backing the "finest education". Have you even asked yourself if Buhari can post a comment on NL like you?? You're being paid to do a job based on your qualifications. .aren't you? This isn't a military arrangement, therefore the records he has as a result of "point and shoot" doesn't hold water here.

I don't remember quoting or talking to you. I dont even entertain ignorant and unintelligent comment like the above...

MayorofLagos:
Bloody COWARDS!

Get off the fence....bloody harlots! They are getting ready to jump fence and betray their contract with Asari and Gej on the SS/SE Coalition.

You want o come now and join the party of cow herders and amala eaters. Buhari and Osinbajo do not need you.

freaks!!

The clowns who are Jonathan’s arrowhead in Igboland are busy offending everybody by their arrogance

At least they got that part right.

They are reaping what they sow..

sammyj:
Then what happens after you see the certificate, Mr INEC.

..


Keep spewing the same rubbish on NL of course,...

researchgenes:
I am sure you are not a lawyer and that is why you made the comment that there is no nexus between the concept of rule of law and the constitution. Every law student and lawyer knows this constitutional principle and I wont argue with u on it. I won't be making any headway explaining this intricate concept with u.

The more pressing issue I would respond is the issue of honesty and fulfilment of the Constitutional requirements. The position of the law is that the a candidate must be qualified educational to be President. And whose obligations is it to show that he is educational qualified? is it the Person vying for the post or INEC? surely, u know the answer.

and finally, u stated that INEC is not complaining. I agree with u on that part. whatever the reasons for INEC not demanding to see the copies of his educational certificates is beyond my knowledge but from the statement of the INEC spokesperson, the Commission would prefer the constitutional interpretation of the section by the Court so that the issue could be settled fully.

Thanks

It's still very laughable to opine that your own former head of state who moved from the bottom to the top based on education from military schools in your own country to the finest military schools abroad and on the surface of the earth with international and external exams is not educated.

Every major promotions in the Nigerian military is based on education from educational institutions both in Nigeria and abroad and he's attended the best man has to offer from the US to the UK and the Defense Services Staff College, Wellington, India.

You either don't know the meaning of education or you are just playing dumb and dishonest..

Can't help but question your own level of education, intellect and poor judgement...

Seriously, Nigerians are tired of this administration, they've had enough. No Nation can sustain the current madness, wholesale institutionalized corruption and incompetence...

When it's all said and done, even okugbe, apoda and patience go pick race..

Sucks to be jonadumb...

N/B:
Of the $9.3 billion EXTERNAL DEBT, Federal Government’s owes $6.36b, while ALL 36 States plus FCT owes $3.0 billion
As at 2010, Oil Price was at $89 per barrel
As at 2011, It was $103 per barrel
As at Now it is $100 per barrel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_oil_market_chronology_from_2003
Meaning, Jonathan have access to more more money than Yar Adua, but he depleted the Foreign Reserve and Still Purge Us into Further Debt With NOTHING to show

More reason why this crooked, corrupt and incompetent dullard must be expunged...

And your source is killer punch....Useless PDP jokers

#GMB 2015...

Morkavictor:
Am not in support of killing those 54 soilders,jail time would have been most appopriate anyway UN should mind their business Nigeria is a soverign country.GEJ till 2019

You people just throw this surveying rubbish all over the place with little or no understanding per your country's international obligations, treaties and signatories..

We think that this is a time when you need creative and effective people in the economy. The government that cannot deliver electricity to you and cannot deliver security and could not buy guns for armed forces when oil was selling at over 100 dollars per barrel cannot do it when oil price is 50 dollars per barrel. They cannot do more with less because they cannot do anything with more.

That's the honest truth...

LRNZH:
I'm back and waiting.

Expecting what from trolls? You go wait taya?

oluwagream:
For the umpteenth time, no one is paying me to talk sir. Nawa o, so you cannot hold an opinion without being sponsored by either APC or PDP. If you look at my comments and post, you'll realise that I've been critical about both candidates. Maybe the topic needs to be changed to "Neither Buhari Nor GEJ Is The Messiah We Need." I don't want you to misunderstand my standpoint.

You have to be getting paid because no sane human being comes up with the kind of unpatriotic and unintelligent rubbish you spew all over the place.

You really need to stop insulting our senses with that silly line about both are not the messiah because you keep repeating that phrase while propping up your useless paymaster while degenerating the other candidate.

You are a sad reflection of the crooks, lairs and dishonest clowns running the country. You can not even be honest with yourself and your beliefs, instead you are hiding behind useless phrases that spells nothing but dishonesty.

oluwagream:
1. GEJ did not kidnap the 234 Chibok girls. Yes, they were pretty slow in responding, due to limited technology, it would be a political statement to hold GEJ responsible.

Technology made the useless man refused to even acknowledge to admit that fact that hundreds of kids in his care were kidnapped?

Technology made his uncaring and cruel wife go on National TV to ridicule, berate and slam the kids parents while casting doubts that the girls were never kidnapped?

Technology made the same worthless and heartless man jet off to Kano to dance skelewu with another man's woman after scores of Nigerians were murdered in a bomb blast in his own Abuja?

2. GMB is a Boko Haram Apologist, and you can do your reseach on these facts. First, why is he so bent on enforcing sharia fully in the country? Why did he say "An attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the north"?

.

Your own fellow countrymen having something to say about their own country shouldn't be labeled terrorists or their apologists. It's kind of moronic and asinine. We'll surly get rid of this mentality this 2015.

It is unfortunate that your type are filled with odious reasoning and appalling utterances.

oluwagream:
Can you imagine giving over 20millions unemployed Ex-corpers monthly salary? How will he be able to financially sustain that?

You are worrying and getting cynical about helping your own countrymen and unemployed youths, but never the worthless government that rendered them unemployed with zero hope or plans to help them even in fact the last time they tried, they scammed them and took their money via bogus employment scheme and even killed scores of them. To make matters worse, your cruel and uncaring clown you call president demanded no accountability.


Every time you people open your mouth to defend your useless and corrupt paymasters, you just end up exposing them... smh....

waternogeteneny:
Buhari have been telling everybody that cares to listen that he did not loot. No guessing wat Buhari will be doing if he eventually gets into asorock.


It will be looting gallore!

[/s]


The fact that we have useless, incompetent and corrupt looters with a very worthless president who openly insulted Nigerians with his thoughtless and corrupt comment that stealing is not corruption doesn't mean the rest of the country are in the same your dirty and corrupt basket with you and your looting masters...

Henry120:
You are an idiiot.

How many bullet proof vests do boko-haram members wear?

Vest or no vest, BH is taking away potions of Nigeria unchallenged and the Nigerian military is still unable to take back the lost portions.

BH won because they have something to show for their evil and despicable carnage..

you should ask the soldier were boko-haram keeps getting resupplied and armoured personnel carriers from?

You should have first asked yourself who is in control in Nigeria and who is in charge of our borders and airspace.

Whatever BH gets or accomplished, it did because the government of Nigeria allowed them to directly or indirectly. You just cluelesslly highlighted your government's incompetent and corrupt ways. We saw boko haram looting supplies from deserted military bases meaning they get most of their weapons from the Nigerian military.

Cowards keep getting their bases overrun, and you have the audacity to blame the president

The commander in chief and his service chiefs and even people like you are the cowards. Sending your men and women to fight terrorist with little or nothing to fight with is cruel, it's criminal, it's reckless and irresponsible especially with the thoughtless and uncaring president who's response so far to this carnage is rewarding the corrupt and incompetent service chiefs after thousands of deaths and kidnappings they failed to prevent and loss of territory to terrorists with promotions and national awards.

Who gives out awards to incompetent service chiefs after losing on the battle field?

Who gives out awards to service chiefs when their men and women on the battle field are poorly equipped, supported and unfed?

Don't worry, 2015 is here and we'll surly get rid of your worthless, incompetent and corrupt president. We'll have a better Nigeria with strong and well equipped fighting men and women..

The man of God in Enugu received Godly revelations and he shared his revelations with Nigerians.

Is the joker cash and carry pastor in Abuja against revelation ordained by God or he was just too corrupt to be visited by God with the same Godly revelations..?

All the cash and carry pastors in Nigeria including Jona's handbag aka the hip hop bling bling pastor have been polluting their air with their fake Godly and revelations on behalf of the dullard president and this useless pastor in Abuja and others kept quiet, but all of a sudden we heard something they are going crazy because the story this time doesn't favor their cash master..

God is not on your crooked, corrupt and incompetent side this time around..

“So, if I talk, I know what I’m saying. Whoever

“I have no grudges against Jonathan and I think
Jonathan equally has no grudges against me.
I’m not quarrelling with Jonathan but all I know
is that whatever is good for Nigeria, that I’m
ready to die for,” he said.
“I emphasize that whatever is good for Nigeria,
is what I’m ready to defend with my life.
Whoever, I emphasize, whoever says he would
not do anything good to Nigeria, even if he says
he’s ready to go ‘konko below’, I’m ready to
square it up with such a person. I say again,
whoever that person may be, I want you to get
that correctly. If this country is going to change
for the better, it would start from the top and if
it’s going to be otherwise, it would start from
the top, too,” the former president stressed.
On the forthcoming election, Mr. Obasanjo said
he’s not apprehensive as being speculated, just
as he advised the electorates to vote for
candidates with integrity and good records.
“I have no apprehension over this coming
elections. I have no fears over the forthcoming
elections. I have had some little experience
about this country. I was a military head of state
and I was also a civilian president, so what is
left?’

Gloves don comot for hand... This is the last straw. I hope the otuoke dullard is reading this declaration of war.....

Seriously, I don't blame OBJ, Nigerians are tired and sick of this worthless, corrupt and incompetent government.

eaglechild:
Osibanjo this and Osibanjo that.

Is GMB not the presidential candidate or is there something APC is not telling us.

I hope you guys are not planning of getting rid of GMB.

Why is this giving you unnecessary headache? Worry more about your otuoko dullard...

londoner:
What they really mean is that if GEJ wins, they will claim corruption. Every day APC are showing themselves to be not what Nigeria needs.

Basically the 2015 rewrite of "we will make Nigeria ungovernable".

Affix whatever label you like, but the message is clear, no more rigging and electoral fraud...

voltron:
What does establishing a parallel goverment mean. Even if it is mistranslated or misinterpreted by the off chance? Coup, Treason etc.. is that not a veiled threat even if i am being modest.

Treason?

Btw, didn't GEJ and his SSS goons threatened to arrest and jail the opposition if they ever uttered parallel government?

Are they also too lazy and incompetent to arrest and jail the opposition as threatened?

oluvick:
Buhari is seen attending Churches' services now and people are shouting, "hail Buhari". I pray God to open Nigerians' eyes to see the guises and the stunt this man is pulling.

Vote him and see the greatest and gravest Nigeria's undoing yet.

You people insults our sensibilities with your religious bigotry and divisive rubbish and we are ready for a Change.

The only reason why Nigerians are behind #GMB2015 is because their eyes are wide open and ready for #CHANGE#GMB2015.

No more GEJ and institutionalized corruption
No more GEJ and gross incompetence
No more religious bigotry and division
No more Boko haram


#Change

bodejohn:
In as much as I am in noway holding brief for Buhari and APC, I am growing tired of seeing threads like this with the same baseless content evrytime.

Can you guys tell us more reasons why we should vote for your candidate and stop reclining this old and unsubstantiated rumors.

It's getting very idiotic and redundant with these useless, empty and shallow threads. It's the same senseless rubbish without substance up and down NL.


If you are indeed sure about your candidate, hen highlight sensible reasons why we should consider him instead of the endless disgusting character assassinations, rumors and market women assertions.

Ubechu1:
FTC
[b]That serves him right... [/b]The so-called Man of God is not suppose to spew any thing that will cause havoc in the electoral process, He's suppose to act indifferent to these campaigns.... I see no reason why he would just open his mouth and start saying GIBBERISH...
If GEJ wins come Feb, he just go to a land of no return... my 2cents though

The same man of God should be killed for doing what the same God asked him to do?

Should Christians and men of God be liars and deceptive characters looking the other way and act indifference to human sufferings and all the crippling social ills ravaging his community, his parishioners and his own country?

What kind of Christian are you? GEJ kind of christian that steals and tell you to shut up because stealing is not corruption or the kind of evil christian like GEJ that goes to the church every Sunday to peddles division and bigotry while hiding behind the church?

femicyrus:
GMB we remove caps while in the church.
Don't allow Gej pigs to score cheap points

That was Lagos House in Alahusa, not a church..

Who cares about irrelevant gej and his irrelevant robots.
