spot on.

eyah saraki the king destroyer with the famous speech "i can't be summoned by a mere commissioner".
So what is the fate of our south western brothers; as the north, in two consecutive occasion, have arm twisted the west of positions that were rightfully alloted the south west.
1st it was tambuwa and now saraki, mesmerizing the west. sai north.

sweetgala:
Well it is the same army that said they can't find it that also found it on May 30 , I'll take that

No. The nigeria army never said they have found buhari's ssce. when the army said they don't have buhari's certificate, it was on tv, the news papers carried it, not one phantom apc facebook user who alleged that the army has seen the none existing cert.

sweetgala:
You do know the military have miraculously found his certificates, including his US war college qualification that's is comparable to a masters.

People do fail those and they are rather very difficult as that's how the upper ranks are controlled from being too large.

No certificate was found my brother. The truth is that buhari joined the military with a cover letter from his principal. But u people were asking for a man with a nepa bill and now you have buhari, stop wishing he had better credentials.

otr1:
I can assure you that no one, in the history of the Nigerian Army has ever retired a Sergeant without Secondary School Certificate.

That Buhari, a retired Maj. General do not have a Certificate is strictly your wish.

In ideal situation you are correct, but this is nigeria where the bar is reduced for people of northern extraction. i can cite so many examples and allow u judge for yourself. Buhari had no ssce, and he is about the few officers who fail military exams. If u have evidence to the contrary, post it here.

DaBullIT:
Another slow brain booting on 1988 windows xp , Buhari has certificate, it was your JonaGoat who told the army to announce that Buhari does not have certificate

U only wish buhari had a certificate, but inside you know he has none. Normally i don't respond to people who think they can't make a point without insult, and this is the last i will dignify your rant.

DaBullIT:
Na so them dey start, They are complaining for non payment of thier amnesty fees, people who have no certificates or degrees whatsoever being paid at least 50 thousand Naira for doing absolutely no work

If they wound a soldier now and (the soldier happens to be a fulani/hausa ) and other soldiers retaliate they will start screaming that They are being killed

Anyways , It's time for this Fraud to end

But even buhari does not have ssce yet he is the president; what has certificate got to do with the allowance the fg is suppose to pay?

seunlayi:
oyo state is governed by APC

ooh really? i thought the problem was pdp. pls pardon my ignorance.

This is typical of pdp states! make dem no worry, buhary will pay.

No no no! His sins were forgiven the moment he joined apc; he's now a progressive QED. sai something!

I have been dating her for over four
months now and everything was going
fine until this morning when i decided to
invite her to my place.
And she came! When we were together,
her phone rang but she refused to pick
her call, and i ask her why she didn't pick,
she said nothing. For me to check who is
calling her i saw 'Sterling Bank calling',
and i begged her to pick, maybe the bank
wants to give her money.
After that another call entered, 'GTB
calling', she ignored it, UBA Followed, and
i picked it but the person didn't talk so i
cut the call. A minute later, First Bank call
entered, she put it on hold, when Zenith
Bank called, she shouted at Zenith Bank.
An hour later, one call entered her phone
singing Lionel Richie song just to check
who called her, i saw 'CBN', she picked it
and answered the call well. Later when i
asked her, she said that her Uncle who is
working there was the one that wished to
speak with her through the office line, i
said okay.
Few minutes later World Bank call
entered and she was so happy to pick the
call. After she had finished receiving the
call i picked up my phone to flash her
number. Guess what i saw?

Akpabio an icon of democracy, a boss extra-ordinary, a Don strategists and a man with a golden heart. He Commissioned a project few minutes before handing over; now that is something to remember.

cheap publicity stunt. Tell him that we know governors don't even touch their salaries and allowances, cos there are so many hidden ways they make their cash; including using security votes which they don't account for. So stop fooling your naive followers.

KHAYGOLD:
You have been duped. Since you've been askedto minus the day you were born, it automatically gives your real age. Why include the year you were born? Playing with foolsss intelligence.

u mean if u were asked to subtract the year u were born from any number would give your age? How about having the first two digits as shoe size?

lecturerdabo:
No magic here pls! The answer lies in the year one was born!!

shine ur eyes!!!

Really?

YOUR SHOE SIZE CAN ALWAYS TELL
YOUR
AGE.
Grab your calculator and try this:
1. Take ur shoe size
2. Multiply it by 5
3. Add 50
4. Multiply by 20
5. Add 1015
6. Minus d year you were born.
You will get 4 digits, the first 2 is your
shoe
size and d last two digit is your age. If am
correct kindly
let me know.

KashyBaby:
well…not so true…as the shoe size numbers varies in UK<US<FRANCE<JAPAN<EU and so on….

Have u first tried it?

YOUR SHOE SIZE CAN ALWAYS TELL
YOUR
AGE.

let me guess! The quality can only be found in the north. Sai north! Allahu akbar!

To what intent does this thread serve? It doesnt change the fact that buhari has no ssce. The only general that joined
the army with a letter from his principal. Stop wishing he had a better academic background. Sai Buhari! The president with a nepa bill as certificate.

yea! i know it is pdp legislators that benefited from this budget, our apc saints were even returning their share of the budgets. i know baba one chance will jail all of them. welcome to change!!

How low can it get?

WinsomeX:
I am not asking for what you think the matter is. I want to know what he was accused of. What is the court adjudicating over.

Why? Is English so difficult to comprehend?

WinsomeX:
oh, it's now perjury. Provide the link to where it said perjury. What I'm aware of is eligibility.

lying on oath is perjury. His cert was/is not with the military board as claimed in his affidavit.

abduljabbar4:
These useless cases are still alive? Let's wait and see.
The military has found his certificate so he didn't lie under an oath.

No. the military never said so. Buhari cert. just like the chibok girls will remain a mystery. The more u look, the less u see.

INTERPRETING THE CONSTITUTION WITH REGARDS TO BUHARI'S CERTIFICATE

Over the last few weeks , the news media, including social media platforms , have been inundated with the controversy over whether or not former military Head of States and presidential candidate of All Progressive Congress, General Muhammadu Buhari possesses the minimum educational qualification to run for the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the coming February 14 general elections . LAW EDITOR , Adam Adedimeji explains certain provisions of the constitution many commentators have tried to close their eyes to:

“A person shall be qualified for election to the Office of President if: ( a) He is a citizen of Nigeria by birth ; ( b ) He has attained the
age of forty years; ( c ) He is a member of a political party and is sponsored by that
political party; and ( d) He has been educated up to at least SCHOOL CERTIFICATE LEVEL OR ITS EQUIVALENT ( emphasis mine) .” – Section 131 of the 1999 constitution.

The above provision under Section 131, paragraph ( a ) – ( d) of the 1999 constitution of Nigeria is what summarises conditions to be fulfilled by an aspirant to the position of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The provision however has in the last few weeks become the most popularly cited
section of the Nigerian constitution as well as a source of controversy. Different interpretations are therefore been given to the particular section either by way of misunderstanding , misrepresentation, misinterpretation or all of the above among political parties as well as its members in order to outdo one another in the fight for votes during the February 14 general elections.

This writer however curiously noticed that most commentators on the ‘ controversial section’ failed to observe that “School Certificate level” as stated by the constitution is unclassified. Most of them only assumed it to be Secondary Leaving
Certificate without bothering to find out what the constitution framers meant since it could also have meant Primary School Leaving Certificate.

Although it is said that all is fair in a contest , the fact that a constitutional provision is in place and its interpretation is to certain extent unambiguous, makes this particular altercations, irrespective of political nature in it an unfair game.

To fully understand the constitution , one needs to take a cursory look at the
provisions of the constitution under Part IV , Article 318 ( 1) that deals with Interpretation, Citation and Commencement.

This particular part , that is , Part IV of the Constitution , interprets the meanings given by the framers of the constitution in order not to give way for unintended meanings to constitutional provisions as we are now
witnessing in this circumstance .

[b]In Chapter VIII, Part VI of the 1999 Constitution , Section 318 ( 1) gave a lucid interpretation to what the constitution meant by “School Certificate or its equivalent” thus : “School Certificate or its equivalent”
means-
( a) a Secondary School Certificate or its equivalent, or Grade II Teacher ’ s
Certificate, the City and Guilds Certificate ;
or
( b) education up to Secondary School Certificate level; or
( c ) Primary Six School Leaving Certificate or its equivalent and -
( i ) service in the public or private sector in the Federation in any capacity acceptable to the Independent National
Electoral Commission for a minimum of ten years, and
( ii ) attendance at courses and training in such institutions as may be acceptable to the Independent National Electoral Commission for periods totaling up to a minimum of one year, and
( iii ) the ability to read , write , understand and communicate in the English Language to the satisfaction of the Independent National Electoral Commission ; and
( d) any other qualification acceptable by the Independent National Electoral Commission."
In essence , constitutionally , a presidential contestant is eligible even if the only
educational qualification he /she possesses is a mere “Primary Six School Leaving
Certificate” or “the ability to read , write , understand and communicate in the English Language ” or “service in the public or private sector in the Federation in any capacity acceptable to INEC for a minimum of ten years” or “attendance at courses and training in such institutions as may beacceptable to the INEC for periods totaling up to a minimum of one year. ” [/b]


This is the present position of the law . Nigerians are however free to propose its
amendment if there is a general believe that we need to increase qualification standard for would be presidential aspirants in Nigeria .

guy we are dealing with a case of perjury, not elegiblity.

SLIDEwaxie:
this is English language:

The suitbwas to disqualify him to run, but he has ran and won, the suit against him is baseless and useless.

Besides, the law didn't say a runner must have ssce, it sply said ssce is the minimum requirement. What if he had a maximum one?

we are talking about perjury here not elegibility. Buhari had no secondary sch certificate with the military- fact.

But this is apc supporter o! did u expect this guy to be sincere?

Opposition has been asking your oga to flush out boko haram for the past 6 yrs, but he claimed they were his siblings until he was about to lose the election then he discovered that in 6wks he could do it. Thanks OP for pointing out that, opposition was right again. In fairness to them, they have always insisted that a serious government will be able to flush them out and that the Nigerian army was capable of flushing them out if allowed to do so. These past 7 wks has shown that they were right after all
