OrlandoOwoh:
Your President should defend his PhD.

After your fraudulent almajiri major general produces his enlistment documentation. Starting with his primary six certificate.

OrlandoOwoh:
You still sound childish. Your PhD holder was the one exposed in far away in the US by the CNN's Christaine Amanpour.

Shameless liar, your fraudulent alamjiri major general should produce his primary six certificate. Then, we can vet interviews.

OrlandoOwoh:
Your comment is too childish for me to engage you. Bye.

You are a shameless liar, like your alamjiri fraudulent major general. See, how God exposed you people in broad daylight.

OrlandoOwoh:
He was your ose's senior in the Nigerian Army.

So what? Let's see his standard six or primary six. I'm not even asking for HSC or O-levels. Just Primary six certificate.

Mogidi:
Bros you killed Buhari with that statement, el-classico!!!

What's even more irritating are the actions of Buhari in 1984. This man sent thousands of Military and civilian federal workers packing from their jobs. Their offense was "forgery", many could not authenticate their educational credentials. That was part of his WAI campaign. Why is the mumu hiding behind a smoke screen today? He should come and tender the original certificate.

Mogidi:
Bros you bad gannn!!

Someone needs to tell this APC cry babies the truth. This is not 1962, Imagine this creature rose to the rank of major general. Without having the basic qualification for enlistment.

OrlandoOwoh:
Atleast not like the disgrace to PhD holders.

Better than a fraudulent Major General. Men like him leave the army as corporal.

Ayekotoo:
Atleast he had primary certificate. Do you have any even if its apprentice certificate? Olodo

So you have seen it, tell him to withdraw his lying affidavit and substitute it with his certificate.

Ayekotoo:
Did you even attend primary school at all? Tout

Alamjiri, ask your boko haram general to submit his standard six certificate. Abi, na fight?

lekkie073:
He promised to stabilise global crude oil price.....

Don't mind the almajiri general. Kai, Buhari don jam.

What should we expect from a primary six dropout.

Another thread to disgrace the no primary school certificate party.

President Zuma of South Africa, I believe, had no formal education, the man has never claimed degrees/certificates from the Unions he led through out his life. For the Buhari supporters, the issue here is dishonesty, unscrupulousness, double-dealing, fraud, misconduct, criminality, wrongdoing and venality. The One your messiah claims he wants to solve. He needs to cure his own disease, before giving anybody, a lecture on public morality.

Much has not changed in the army acceptance standards, since 1960. Buhari has to produce whatever results/certificate, he used for admission into the army in 1962.

Till then, the man is a fraudulent Major general.

How to Join the Nigerian Army
Who is eligible to join the Nigerian Army?
To join the Nigerian Army, you must meet all the following requirements and conditions:

You must be of Nigerian origin by birth. What this means is that you must be born in Nigeria to Nigerian parents. If you’re from another country or you’re a Nigerian by naturalization (and not by birth), then you are not qualified to join the Nigerian Army.
You must be between 18-22 years of age at the time of application. If you are not yet up to 18 years old, you will have to wait a bit longer. However, if you are already older than 22, then you are no longer eligible to join the Nigerian Army.
You must be fit medically, physically, and psychologically. That is, you must not have any persistent health issues or suffer chronic conditions like asthma. Neither must you have any physical or mental disabilities.
You must not be less than 1.65 meters tall (men) and 1.56 meters tall (women). Yes, your height alone can truncate your dreams of joining the Nigerian Army. So, check your height now. If you are shorter than the values stated, then your dream dies here.
You must be free of any criminal conviction. That is, you must not have been convicted of any crime – major or minor – at any point in the past. If you have been charged with an offence before, then you cannot join the Nigerian Army.
You must attend the zonal screening exercises at the designated zonal centre for your state. Note that the zonal screening centre may not be in your own state, but in one of the neighbouring states. Only one zonal screening centre will be available for applicants from all states within a designated zone. So, get ready to travel if the screening centre isn’t in your own state.
You must duly complete all forms and submit them at the examination venue on the date fixed for the screening examination.
What are the required educational / academic qualifications?
To join the Nigerian Army as a non-tradesman or woman, all you need are at least 3 credits including English Language in not more than two sittings (in WASSCE/NECO/GCE).

What are the documents you need?

If you meet all the requirements stated so far, that’s not all. You will need the following documents during the recruitment process:

Photocopies of your birth certificate or age declaration affidavit
Photocopies of your academic and professional certificates (including SSCE/NECO/GCE)
A letter of identification signed by the identifying officer in “Section F” of the

Obiagelli:
Secondary school keeps records from the 60s?

Yes.

Another fake rubbish from the no school certificate crowd. Please tell your general to produce the certificate that earned him entrance into the army in 1962.

Omila007:
You do realize that the relationship between buhari and the military was basically that of an employer and employee?
The Military can only have photocopies of certificate you provided to them at the point of recruitment also he would have records with the Nigerian military but what is in question here is his certificate prior his military career, the certificate that earned him entrance into Nigerian military.

Now I am not sure what the lowest entry requirements is or was for the Nigerian military in 1962, assuming it is senior school certificate, then the military has no obligation to provide the photocopies he must have submitted prior entry.
It's is GMB's duty to contact the secondary he had attended in 1962 to ask for replacement, in a situation where the school doesn't exist anymore, the ministry of education should have it.
In the case where he provided an affidavit, such affidavit should detail the institution, the type of certificate and the year obtain.
With such the organization being presented with the affidavit could proceed to appropriate ministries for investigation.

Reminds me of when Orji uzo kalu came to my school in 1999, while addressing us he mentioned that he was a labor captain the crowd went awol, with students running to the prefects board room to search through the prefects board from 1929 till we found his own.
Lo and behold his name was there.

Thanks

*To spend N9.6 trillion compared to 2014’s N12 trillion
By Clifford Ndujihe, Deputy Political Editor

LAGOS—WORRIED by the dwindling economic fortunes of the country, the Federal and 31 state governments of the country have proposed what has been termed as ‘austere’ budgets to contend with the challenges.
According to Vanguard investigations, the 31 states and the Federal Government, barring supplementary appropriations, will spend N9.626 trillion in 2015 as against N12.188 trillion spent in 2014 (see table).
States that are yet to present their 2015 budget proposals are Ondo, Abia, Rivers, Yobe, Jigawa and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
If the remaining states and FCT were to spend exactly what they spent last year, their total expenditure will be N10.6 trillion, still a far cry from the N12.188 trillion spent last year.
The prevailing free fall of crude oil price, refusal of US (Nigeria’s major oil importer) to patronise the country and discovery of oil by many countries and alternative energy sources are already hurting Nigeria’s finances. This accounts for why many states owe their workers two to six-month salary arrears.
Recently, the term ‘austerity measures’ crept back into Nigeria’s lexicon on account of the brewing hardship. The last time austerity measures dominated the air waves was in the early 80s when Nigeria’s Naira lost value in quantum leaps against the US Dollar and other leading world currencies.

To worsen the matter, most of the governments at all levels apart from spending less than what they spent last year, have also allocated lower sums to capital expenditure. Collectively, only N3.342 trillion (47.63 per cent) is allocated to capital expenditure (provision of infrastructure and amenities among others), while N5.041 trillion or 52.37 per cent is to be spent on recurrent expenditure (salaries, emoluments of public servants and political office holders, running costs, among others).
The worst culprit is the Federal Government, which allocated N634 billion (14.55 per cent) of its N4.358 trillion proposed budget to capital expenditure. The central government spent N4.962 trillion last year.

Among the states, Imo is worse off. Governor Rochas Okorocha proposed N141.22 billion and allocated N119.70 billion (84.43 per cent) to recurrent expenditure. Capital projects got a miserly N21.5 billion (15.57 per cent).
While presenting the budgets, the governors cited dwindling collectible revenue from the Federation Account as the main reason for scaling down the budgets. They promised to improve on their Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) to augment the budgets. And they hope to boost their IGR through taxation among other sources, which will boil down to the citizenry and businesses paying more.
Those to spend more
States that proposed to spend more in 2015, though marginally, are Ogun, Taraba, Kwara, Anambra, Katsina, Kaduna, Enugu, Adamawa, Kebbi and Imo.

Among the states only Lagos State has proposed to spend N489.69 billion, the exact sum it spent last year.
While presenting his N141.778 billion 2015 budget proposal tagged ‘Budget of Repositioning’ in Oyo State, Governor Abiola Ajimobi, who is seeking re-election, pledged that no new taxes would be imposed on the people, notwithstanding the poor financial situation of the state occasioned by sharp drop in oil revenue. The state spent about N190 billion last year.
He said rather than impose new taxes on the people of the state a strategy had been put in place to enhance the level of cost effectiveness of revenue collection, especially with respect to existing fees and levies.
However, the governor said priority would be given to expanding the state’s taxable base through accelerated gainful employment generation by private investors in the state. Of the N141.8 billion budget the sum of N86.72 billion (61.17 per cent) is allocated to recurrent expenditure while N55.05 billion (38.83 per cent) will be for capital expenditure.
In Ekiti state’s N80.78 billion “budget of reality”, which represents 77.7 per cent of the 2014 budget of N103.8billion, Governor Ayodele Fayose said N48,717 billion was allocated to recurrent expenditure while capital expenditure would gulp N31. 956 billion.
According to him, the size of the budget was informed by his government’s desire to live within its means and go with an achievable estimate rather than “decorate the budget with unrealistic figures.” The governor, who called for “expeditious passage of the bill,” explained that the budget would be funded by revenue from the federation allocation, internally generated revenue and other sources. He also explained that his government would access N5billion internal loan contrary to his earlier stance that he would not borrow to run his government.

Capital expenditure: FG allocates 14.6%
Presenting the budget to the National Assembly on behalf of President Goodluck Jonathan, the Finance and Co-ordinating Minister of the Economy, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, said the budget has an aggregate revenue target of N3.602 trillion made up of oil revenue (N1.918 trillion) and non-oil revenues (N1.684 trillion).
This expenditure figure is made up of N412 billion for Statutory Transfers, N943 billion for Debt Service, N2,616 billion for Recurrent (Non-Debt) and N634 billion for Capital Expenditure (inclusive of SURE-P). In other words, only N634 billion will be spent on infrastructure and provision of direly needed amenities.

To fund the budget, Okonjo-Iweala said IGR “actual receipts have continued to grow from about N182 billion in 2011 to N274 billion in 2013 and then, N328 billion as at October 2014” and decried leakages and non-remittance of funds to the treasury by some agencies.
She said President Jonathan has “subsequently issued an unequivocal directive to all revenue agencies to ensure remittance of their obligations to treasury and all relevant government bodies are now working with banks to ensure strict compliance, and so we have projected IGR receipts of N450 billion for 2015”.
She continued: “In 2015, the federal government will be ramping up the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS)/McKinsey initiative to contribute an extra N160 billion in tax receipts and an aggregate of about N460 billion over and above the 2014 levels in the 2015-2017 period.”
On taxation, the minister hinted of a possible but gradual increase in Value Added Tax (VAT) as a long term measure. In the medium term, she said focus will be on tax policy to see where opportunities lie to streamline and rationalize certain taxes and levies while looking to boost others.

An Abuja based fraudulent land dealer who has swindled many people millions of naira, has been arrested by the Federal Capital Territory Police Command. According to the FCT Command image maker, D.S.P Atine Daniel: “The Police decided to arrest one Ambassado Yohanna Margif after conducting investigations into various complaints from individuals and corporate bodies, over his fraudulent activities. He had been carrying out these activities with fake land documents to intimidate or claim ownership or outright sale of land to unsuspecting buyers.” Daniel said investigations into the suspect’s activities took detectives to the office of Abuja geographical information system (AGIS), where he was discovered to be one of the notorious land scammers in the Federal Capital Territory. The Police image maker said Ambassador Margif had duped a certain victim to the tune of N12 million and had already been charged to court for criminal conspiracy, forgery and cheating. Daniel added that the suspect was about selling another 48 acres of land at Katampe area of the Federal Capital Territory to the tune of N750 million when he was arrested on September, 16, 2013. Daniel further said: “We therefore urge members of the public to be vigilant and equally verify the authenticity of land documents they buy from individuals through the relevant land departments of the Area councils and AGIS.” - See more at: http://www.mynewswatchtimesng.com/abuja-professional-con-man-arrested/#sthash.Ymy87tpW.dpuf

tit:
is buhari really a victim of ahmadu bello and his quota system?

Buhari is a victim of General hassan Kastina. They never knew this day will come to past. I dare say, if we requested the credentials of all the young men accepted into the army between 1960-1979. Nigerians will cry for this Nation. Buhari refused to leave quietly, he has ended up exposing the fraud, that brought his likes into our lives.

Dangote, Others Generate 15,000MW Of Electricity From Private Plants


VENTURES AFRICA – BUA Group, Honeywell and Dangote Group in conjunction with similar manufacturing plants across Nigeria are generating more than 15,000 megawatts of electricity used by the companies off the national grid, Dr. Lazarus Angbazo, President and CEO of General Electric (GE) Nigeria disclosed at the weekend.

According to him, the captive power of 15,000mw is sufficient for the private companies to operate.

“When I say they are captive, I am talking about consumer industrial groups that are self-generating, like the Dangote Cement, Bua Cement, Lafarge Cement and others,” explained Angbazo.

He said due to inefficient power supply, these groups are constructing private power plants to ensure their operations are not affected by epileptic supply of electricity in the country.

“We are in partnership with Dangote, for example, on Obajana, Ibese, Shagamu and Gboko and we are the one providing the power,” local news platform, local daily ThisDay quoted him as saying.

Honeywell also gets power from GE, as well as other companies producing food and making use of GE engines.

Angbazo said further that the groups have been able to continuously produce the quantity of electricity required for their operations due to their financial muscle, citing Dangote, which is Africa’s largest producer of cement as an example.

According to him, the companies are taking the same step in the generation of captive power to ensure smooth operations.

93% Northern girls lack secondary education – Sanusi

The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr. Lamido Sanusi, on Thursday, decried the low literacy level in the North saying that 93 per cent of female children in the region lacked secondary education.

The apex bank boss, who said this at this year’s Isaac Moghalu Foundation Leadership Lecture and Symposium held in Abuja, said the situation, if left unchecked, was detrimental to the economy.

The governor sited Jigawa State, where school completion rate among female is as low as seven per cent as an example.

Net enrolment of girls in schools in the country, according to him, is 22 per cent.

He said, “In the North-West, 70 per cent of women between 20 and 29 are unable to read, compared to 9.7 per cent in the South West.

“Only three per cent of females complete secondary education in the Northern zone. Now how do you build the country when 93 per cent of the girls in the most populous region of the country do not complete secondary schools?

“We are only treating the symptoms and not the ailment. We are spending so much on security compared to education and healthcare services. We cannot succeed in security without fixing the original problems

“If the women are sent to school and they have access to proper healthcare services, there may not be need to spend so much on security.”

He described illiteracy among women in the region as frightening, adding that senior female officials in the country had not done enough to assist the women folk.

Sanusi said, “The problem we have is that women are their own enemies. If you are a female minister or hold an important public position and after four years you cannot say what you did for women, shame on you.

“Many of these women secure these positions on the platform of gender, ethnicity among others and when they get there, they forget the ladder on which they went there.

“They become the queen bee and do not want to share the limelight with other women.”

He charged women to hold their counterparts, in leadership positions to account, adding that such move would help to reduce neglect.

Also speaking at the event, the Executive Director of IMoF, Mrs. Maryanne Moghalu, said the foundation would continue to focus on key areas to assist the society.

The areas, she said, include human capital development through education for under privileged children, strategic learning infrastructure support for educational institutions, vocational skills training, and public policy advocacy.

Moghalu added that the foundation would also examine the success of the country in developing women to leadership positions.

She expressed the need for women to be well trained and prepared for leadership roles in the public, private and non-profit sectors.

Moghalu stressed that the absence of women in leadership position had been identified by many countries including Nigeria as a major challenge in the process of economic and social development.

The foundation was founded in 2005 in memory of Mr. Isaac Moghalu, one of Nigeria’s pioneer diplomats and a former permanent secretary.

Buhari will not be disqualified, he is going to run. Even APC members will regret associating themselves with him. We are watching the fundamental problems of the Nigerian state. The systemic rot in the foundations of the country, playing itself out, in way only God would have ordained.

ratiken:
In addition to the many lies.... Buhari is yet to show his certificate to INEC and Nigerians

That should not be complicated for the messiah Buahri. The wicked man dismissed thousands for this very offence, now he is hiding behind the army. The army will not cover his unclothedness. Buhari produce your certificate.
