Obiagelli:
Pls quote the law that say so.
Go read Third Schedule,Part 1C 8(1),(2) &(3).You don't expect me to spoonfeed you by literally quoting all the wordings here,do you?.
Those sections covers all aspects of public service including the military,judiciary,ministerial and extra-ministerial departments,public corporations and enterprises.
The Long and short of it is that going by his appointments thus far,the president has run afoul of the Constitution grievously.
Modified:
Subsection 3 even invalidate any provision of any establishment law that runs counter to federal character,taking it down to the level of directors and management of any public body.
Read Section 14(3) CFRN,to start with
Thank me later for the tutorial

Culture › Re: Is Badmus A Yoruba Name? by Dhugal: 12:39pm On Aug 27, 2015
Radoillo:
Why do you think the name is strictly of Yoruba origin? It occurs in variations within the Yoruba-Nupe-Hausa cluster.

Another clue to its possible origin is to study its occurrence within Yorubaland. For example, does it occur more in areas of Yorubaland that are more islamised than other areas of Yorubaland? Does it occur more in Yoruba families with a Muslim background (even if now they have been converted to Christianity)?

If the answers are 'Yes', then it could strengthen the case for a possible Arabic origin for the name.
Not to forget the fact that the Obadimu he keeps harping on is actually Obadiyimu,nowhere close to Badmus.
Another variant of Badmus I've come across is Bademosi,a la Deji Bademosi(formerly Badmus) of Channels Tv that time.Despite the attempt at domestication,Bademosi sounds closer to Badamasi much more than Badmus.

Although one must add that it doesn't seem that the Arabs have a name like Badmus or Badamasi. My guess is that the original Arabic name has been Africanized beyond recognition.

The second part of the name though (-amasi) sounds like it's Arabic original was al-Masri, meaning 'the Egyptian' and used in the Arab world as a name.
Hmmm.......that bears looking into.Have wondered where Badmus came from.While it African forms seem to be from some direction northerly,Badmus itself seem anglicized

Without a doubt, we all know Jesus spoke the aramiac language. And the aramaic word for God is Alah and even Alaha.

According to wiki via google: It is generally agreed that Jesus and his disciples primarily spoke Aramaic, the common language of Judea in the first century AD, most likely a Galilean dialect distinguishable from that of Jerusalem.[1] The towns of Nazareth and Capernaum in Galilee, where Jesus spent most of his time, were Aramaic-speaking communities.[2]

Another wiki source- The Jewish Palestinian Aramaic, also called Judean Aramaic and Galilean Aramaic, was a Western Aramaic language spoken by the Jews in Roman and Byzantine Palestine in the early first millennium. The language is very much similar to Hebrew, and is notable for being that spoken by Jesus (see Language of Jesus).[2]

The question now is what is the Aramiac word for God?

Allah (English pronunciation: /ˈælə/ or /ˈɑːlə/;[1] Arabic: الله‎ Allāh, IPA: [ʔalˤˈlˤɑːh] ( listen)) is the Arabic word for God (al ilāh, literally "the God"wink.[2][3][4] The word has cognates in other Semitic languages, [b]including Elah in Aramaic, ʾĒl in Canaanite and Elohim in Hebrew.[5][6][/b]
They have changed it a little, It used to be Alah.

Elohim is a group of Blackmen and Blackwomen(God) whose head or leader is Yahweh from Yahwehu. Each of them can be called Eloah.
The full meaning of Yahweh is Ya-Ba-Hwehu which simply mean Emperor of the non-black race.

Go read and do research. Arabic preceeded Aramaic, they both Preceeded Hebrew or Canaanite language of today. The oldest languages are all in Africa, yet are not the first or the second 12 languages which are also from Black people.
Arabic preceeded Aramaic............truly,you're lost.
As to your other gibberish.....can't deal this morning

Lah in arabic simply means god while Al means The ,
Al lah means The God which is a suggestion that Allah is The Main God . This is a pure linguistic point and I do not hereby express any opinion on religion
Before Mohammed in Mecca there were many lahs(gods) and Mohammed came with his teaching that there is only one god TheGod =Allah
You're correct and I wasn't trying to go religious,just giving it context.
The Quareshi god was known as Al ilah tho

Folks, is Gbadamosi an authentic Yoruba name? Does it have a meaning in the Yoruba language?
Gbadamosi has no meaning in Yoruba,it is the Yorubanized version of northern Badamasi,which itself is borrowed from Badmus or the Arabic version of it.

Arabic and Aramaic preceeded Hebrew. Jesus called God "Alah" in Aramaic language. You can check it up. Hebrew as we know it today is not more than 500 years old.
Jesus did not call God "Alah",anywhere.Rather the clear instance we know where he called out to God,and that not lost in translation,he used "Elohi",My God.
Common name for the Supreme Being in Hebrew is Elohim/Eloha,while His revealed name according to Jewish and religious texts is Yahweh.
Allah,as we have in Arabic today,is the name of the Quareshi moon-god,equated to the Hebrew Eloha.
You seem to be confusing Yiddish for Hebrew,they aren't the same

FROM A YORUBA ELDER WHO WROTE ABOUT ETYMOLOGY OF MOST BIBLICAL NAMES AND COSMOLOGICAL BEGINNING. ACCORDING TO HIM, A LOT OF WORDS, NOT JUST NAMES WERE CHANGED BY INTERMIXING CONSONANT IN PLACE OF VOWELS AND VICE VERSA, ALSO ADDING LETTERS UNTO WORDS.
EXAMPLE; AKU WAS TURNED INTO YAKUB BY ADDING Y AND B AND LATTER CHANGING THE U INTO O , CHANGING THE "J" FROM "Y" TURNS IT INTO JACOB.
ESHU BY ADDING "Y" AND "A" MAKES IT YESHUA ....
The Arabic Yaqoub,whence Yakubu came from,was derived from Hebrew Yakov,i.e Jacob.
Do get your bearings right and quit smoking that thing,it's messing up your brain.
Modified:
There's no J in the Hebrew alphabet,even now.It's still Yakov.J,as an alphabet,was the last to be added to the English letters

Otherwise get a another Brain into that Skull of Yours cos the Present one in there appears Expired
No,you should go get a brain since it's quite obvious you have mush in place of one.
The other former HoS were registered during the CoS meeting to inaugurate the new National ID,Buhari wasn't there for his own reasons.Now he has been registered and typical of your cowardly ilk,you're trying to give it a tribal slant in order to benefit your group,registering this moniker today just to post this rubbish.Get ye back into the sewer you crawled out from,you disgust me.

What idiotic "civil duty" (it's civic,btw) are you talking about?.A commissioned lieutenant of the Nigerian Army,rose to the rank of General without skipping any rank,commanded 3 of the 4 Divisions in the NA then and you come here to prate such stite because of politics and the crumbs you get from your paymasters,asking he show you his certificates?.In that wise,all commissioned officers the NA ever produced should have their qualifications suspect too.It really is silly season in politics.
So you know,the CFRN never requires him to show you or make public his qualifications,it only requires INEC to ensure that such a one as run for the office of President has been educated up to School cert level or it's equivalent.Now,I quite understand comprehension is not an easy thing for you and your ilk,neither is commonsense common to you,but this naked dance in the market is really getting beyond ridiculous.
You're not satisfied with the affidavit Buhari sworn to,kindly file an eligibility suit in court and spare us this spectacle you make of yourselves.

I called and spoke to the woman. She said Buhari attended a seminar in 1980, and they did not give out any Masters, it was just a seminar aka information session. How do I play a recording here?
So nobody else can call USA?

Obinocopy put it on front page people will calloo. Ask one of the USA mods to call.
A seminar that lasted a year,1979-1980.Bros,liers don't make heaven.

Politics › APGA Favours Buhari To Emerge As President by Dhugal(op): 1:29am On Jan 05, 2015

Maj-Gen. Mohammadu Buhari (retd.)
The All Progressive Grand Alliance says it
cannot throw its weight behind President
Goodluck Jonathan as it is very likely that the
candidate of the All progressives Congress,
Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), will
emerge the winner of the presidential election
next month.
The Chairman of the Lagos State chapter of
APGA, Mr. Campbell Umeh-Nzekwe, who is also
a special adviser to the national chairman of
the party, said this during an interview with
our correspondent, on Sunday.
Umeh-Nzekwe said Jonathan’s problem was
compounded by the fact that the motion to
adopt him as the consensus candidate of the
Igbo for the 2015 presidential election failed
at the Ime-Obi (inner caucus) meeting of the
Ohanaeze Ndigbo, on Saturday, in Enugu.
He added that the sermon of renowned Enugu-
based Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka,
that Jonathan had failed and should step down
seemed to have sent shockwaves across the
South-East.
He said the party was sure that Jonathan would
not win votes in the North.
He said, “The game has changed. As it is,
Jonathan has no chance of winning. Buhari
seems to have taken over. The PDP has
collapsed in the North if you care to know. All
those who are running to Aso Rock and making
promises to the President are just deceiving
him.”
When asked if APGA would be supporting
Buhari next month, Umeh-Nzekwe said he
could not say for sure.
He said, “Jonathan is a sitting President with
incumbency factor in his favour but Buhari
has the masses and a cult following in the
North. In 2011, Buhari won 12 million votes in
the North with his rag-tag party, the Congress
for Progressive Change, without a single
governor or senator to campaign for him.
“Today, his party, the APC, has 14 governors,
43 senators and 176 Reps as well as 625 House
of Assembly members. Also, the APC has
dominant control of the North-West with a
total number of 18.4 million voters and North-
East with 10.2 million while South-West has
13.4 million voters
“ The PDP has dominant control of the North-
Central and Abuja with 10.4 million voters
while the South-South has 8.5 million and
South-East has 7.2 million votes.
“However, no zone has achieved 50 per cent of
votes cast but northern voters are more
committed and trustworthy than those in the
South.
“Also, look at Jonathan’s campaign team. He
has Col. Ahmadu Ali (retd.) as his Director
General and Peter Obi as the deputy while
Buhari has Governor Rotimi Amaechi and
Senator Olorunnimbe Mamora as director
general and deputy respectively. It is time for
Ndi Igbo to review their strategy".

The biblical prophets you mentioned did not annoint / endorse a King and in six weeks emerge from no where and condemn the same king FOR NO REASON.

OR was Fr Mbaka not aware of most of the points he raised against GEJ as at November 2014?
Erm oga,Samuel it was that anointed Saul as King of Israel,go read the beautiful things he said about him.Same Samuel it was that rebuked him,even cursed him and under the prompting of the Most High anointed David as King over Israel while Saul yet lived.
Oh btw,Fr.Mbaka enunciated his reasons quite clearly.
Politics › Re: Army Is Still Saying The Same Thing: "We Don't Have Buhari's Certificate" by Dhugal: 8:36am On Jan 04, 2015
NairalandOP:
Guys don't let APC and their apologist in the media confuse you. The Army never said they have Buhari Certificates. Rather they said it's the officer that should be in custody of his or her certificates.

What the Army said is that they have Buhari's academic records. His records is simply his biodata along with photocopies of the credentials he submitted when he enlisted with the army. Thus all they can provide on request are his biodata or photocopies of his certificates and not his original certificates.

Sahara Reporters tried distorting the news by making it seem like the army confirmed that they had Buhari's certificate but Thisday gave us a clearer picture. Click here to read the authentic news from Thisday: http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/army-8217-not-in-possession-of-buhari-8217-s-original-certificates-8217-/198280/

Now the question remains this: where are Buhari's real certificates? Is it with him or misplaced? If misplaced, did he obtain a police report and affidavit when it happened? If it is with him then why did he not make copies of it and present the photocopies to INEC? Or is he still insistng that his originals are with the military?

A lot of controversies concerning Buhari's certificate. I think Buhari owes Nigerians the truth. Nigerians want to see his original credentials (even if it's only First School Leaving Certificate or Testimonial)

#BuhariShowYourCertificate
Maybe if you'd had your head screwed on straight,you would know that Buhari was COMMISSIONED into the Nigeria Army,not enlisted.The NDA or NMTC,as it then was,is a degree awarding military institution.Even then,it awards a certificate higher than a secondary school cert.,which is the basic academic requirement to run for the presidency.And one can only be admitted with a secondary school cert.So,which certificate are you asking Buhari to show you?.His NMTC cert.,which the Army surely know of,or his secondary school cert.,copy of which they surely have?.
