1. His certificate shows, Ministry of Education Katsina State.

In 1961, there was no Katsina state, Katsina State was formed in 1987 from Kaduna State.
=> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katsina_State

2. The Certificate shows, Government College Katsina

We are well aware that Buhari attended Provincial Secondary School, Katsina that was many many years later changed to Government College Katsina.

His document is meant to show Provincial Secondary School, Katsina



3. The passport shown on the document is not the face of a young boy of 19. Buhari was 19 during the time of this exam since he wrote the exam in 1961.

Nigerians lets not be fooled by this.

The opposition against the former military ruler is being championed by the United States chapter of the Nigerians in Diaspora Organization (NIDO), the flagship association of Nigerians living abroad.

Speaking at a press conference held at the Hilton Garden, Washington DC, Hon. Victor Ugho, the immediate past Vice-President of NIDO, who is the current President of the Georgia State chapter of the association with headquarters in Atlanta, urged the former Head of State to perish the thought of becoming the next president of the country, saying that the world has moved past the likes of Buhari.

Ugho regretted that Buhari has allowed himself to be pushed around by some people whom, he said, were looking for ways to cause more pains to Nigeria. He noted that Buhari, as Head of State, had ample opportunity to turn the country around, stressing that, “as a matter of sincerity, I do not think Buhari is the best candidate for Nigeria at this period in time. He was there as Head of State, what did he do?

“Again, he has not told us what he is going to do differently.  We need continuity; the choice should not be based on tribal sentiment. Let him tell us how he is going to fix the so-called terrible situation he has identified.  We need somebody who will not bring disunity.”

“Shagari’s regime (1979-1983), incurred Buhari’s wrath when it decided to investigate the US$2.8 billion that disappeared from the Midland Bank, London account of the Nigerian National Petroleum Cooperation, (NNPC), during General Obasanjo’s era as military head of state that preceded Shagari’s.Dr. Olusola Saraki, Turaki of Ilorin, was the majority party leader of the Senate at the time and he headed the Senate Committee set up to trace the stolen money after some three years of clamour for such an investigation by members of the civil society.The money was traced to the Midland Bank London branch fixed account of Buhari, Obasanjo’s appointee as military head of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company.

The Committee’s report was presented to the Senate during the tail end of Shagari’s regime in 1983, so the House decided to deal with the matter soon after the 1983 general elections.
“The attempt at civilian-to-civilian transition provided the fillip for mayhem at the time.The elections wereh marred by massive rigging because incumbent political office holders were refusing to slacken their stranglehold on Nigeria Plc., mortgaged as the leaders private property. On the 31st December, 1983, Buhari struck under the cover of the political commotion that trailed the presidential election results. Buhari generally had no agenda for leadership but vendetta against those he called critics and rabble-rousers.Buhari did not see any moral wrong in his conversion of our oil money into his personal use.Rather he railed at the press and what he described as the self-righteous sections of the country for making a big deal out of the issue. He locked up without trial, politicians and critics including Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, notorious for clamouring for the exposure of the oil money rogue.Satire saved my neck at the time.Vera Ifudu, who was an NTA reporter then, was sacked through his prodding as military ruler, for reporting what Dr. Olusola Saraki had told her in an interview about how the missing money was traced to Buhari’s account at a Midland Bank London branch.Vera eventually won her case of wrongful dismissal in court against the NTA and was financially compensated.
“Abacha rehabilitated Buhari with the chairmanship of the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) before he (Abacha) died in 1998.When Obasanjo returned to power in May 1999 as civilian president, he found that over 2.5 billion naira had not been properly accounted for in the PTF and that there was not much on the ground to show for the colossal expenditure the agency was claiming.

On the day Obasanjo announced the scrapping of the PTF, a non-staff brother-in-law of the boss, allegedly serving as his conduit on some PTF projects, died suddenly from what appeared to be heart failure.Haruna Adamu, who was appointed by Obasanjo to investigate the PTF before finally consigning it to the dung heap, allegedly quickly pocketed one hundred million naira of PTF’s money before operating table could be set up for him, thus forcing Obasanjo to hurriedly close the place down without further investigations.Buhari has been trying desperately since to return to power, perhaps to get a chance to shred the PTF documents?

Prof. Wole Soyinka Endorses Goodluck Jonathan For 2015

"Even though I have said it time and time again that the president should control his wife but there is something significant about Mr. President.

He is the first president without any ties to the military mafia. All his children are in schools here in Nigeria. You cannot come across a skyscraper in any corner of Nigeria and people will tell you it belongs to him; even a seven storey building.

I strongly believe that GEJ is a phenomenal change from before and if we cannot find a better, young alternative, then we must remain with him until we can groom someone better.

This is no time to go back to the military mafia and go back to our vomit"

BUSTED!!! 7 Drug Men Busted On One Flight, Excrete 8.7kg Cocaine In Abuja









49yrs old Fred Obi was about to board an Ethiopian Air flight from Abuja to Tel Aviv, Israel with a strange cargo allegedly concealed in his stomach when the law caught up with him.



He had ingested 1.594kg of c*****e. But he was not the only one boarding that same flight with intention of transporting narcotics they had ingested on November 22, 2014, when they were arrested by men of the NDLEA at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.



Also arrested were Ekechi Ferdinand (36), Okonkwo Paul (20), Azubuogu Obumneme (30), Okechi Anthony (34), Anozie Henry (34) and Okafor Francis (51).



NDLEA spokesperson, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju, confirmed that the raid which was headed by the agency's commander at the Abuja Airport, Mr. Hamisu Lawan, turn out to be a revealing one…



The suspects, who were said to have been arrested and isolated, were soon made to excrete the drug they had ingested.



"The last of the suspects eventually finished excreting the drugs in his stomach this morning (Thursday, November 26)," Ofoyeju said.



Ferdinand excreted 1.616kg of c*****e, Paul – 1.103kg, Obumneme – 1.450kg, Anthony – 935 grammes while Henry exctreted 874 grammes of c*****e.



The oldest of the suspects, Francis, on his part excreted 1.167kg.



All the suspects, except Obi, were said to have Hong Kong as the destination on their tickets.



NDLEA Chairman, Ahmadu Giade, said that the arrest of the suspects was an added victory to the war against drug trafficking in the country.



He said, "Coming at a time when commanders of our agency are holding a summit to move the agency forward, this is a welcome development.



"Having seven suspected drug traffickers on a single flight is a reflection of the desperation of drug cartels.



But this will prove to them that the NDLEA has the capacity to stop drug trafficking no matter what method they employ.



"Fortunately for the suspects as well, our arrest has saved their lives because for the suspects heading to Hong Kong, it is clearly stated in their visas that drug trafficking in Hong Kong attracts the death penalty.



Nigeria has equally been saved from an embarrassment their arrest would have caused if they were caught over there."‎

soroptimist:
Coming from accursed Femi Aribisala,it might even have come from Femi Fani Kayode but the fact remains that Tinubu's political sagacity can not be understood by lowlifers and children of hate across the Niger who wants to help the bereaved cry more than themselves

To the political lilliputs and infants on NL.........in the past political blocs or alliance amongst the regions and zones have always been the basis of how political parties gets votes

The North+The SE+SS have always been political bed fellows........while the SW+NC have always gone together.......that was why Pa Awolowo couldn't become the President because the Igbos have always aligned with the Hausa they insult today to edged Awolowo out knowing fully well that they too cant deliver the Presidency to any of their sons like Azikiwe

Awolowo in 1979 didnt even mind nominating a VP candidate or becoming one to Azikiwe in order for the SE and SW to merge politically despite the fact that Awo's AG or UPN always have more votes and seats in the parliament than Ziks party yet out of shear political rivalry Zik refused to accede to Awo's proposal to even play the 2nd fiddle to him but went into alliance with the North( severally from the 60s.......yet they pretend we dont know history or probably have forgotten)

Those who have read history will know where the concept of 'Being the beautiful bride' of Nigerian politics comes from or who said so

The Northerners were pulling Zik and his party on one hand while Awo/UPN was also asking for an alliance between both parties in order to confine the "core North into political irrelevance" but Zik shunned Awo and allegedly even leaked the letter Awo wrote to him detailing the schematics of the working agreement he was proposing to the press

The SW political gladiators like Tinubu having read history very well and discovered where Baba Awo couldn't succeed knew that in order for the SW to play Nationally away from the perennial opposition tag we had always carried all these years. Possible outcomes that can make such aspiration possible is to Form a political alliance with one of the 2 major ethnic group (1) Igbos (2) Hausas as no major tribe can single handedly deliver the Presidency unto itself

As things stands,the perennial rivalry of the Igbos with the Yorubas wont make them forge an allianace with the SW whereas the North is pragmatic,open-minded and very astute when it comes into forming political alliance




Tinubu's master-stroke of shooting down Mulikat Akande's PDP aspiration( which ACN is not hell-bound to go along with) has healed whatever old wound existing between the North and the SW........whereas the SE have simply replace the SW in the war of ego with the North.....who they used to be in bed with politically before but now insult because GEJ is now the President( i wonder what they will do when GEJ finishes his tenure in 2015 worst 2019( i even heard them saying GEJ should hand over to them) as if GEJ will point a gun at the heads of the SWners and Hausas they insult and deride to vote for their candidate

That is why people like me have been preaching politics of bridge-building and not ethnoreligious bigotry especially being championed by the people across the Niger knowing fully well that our political paths might cross in the near future but it seems some dont even care if the future dont come hence they are trying to turn everyone into enemies



Whatever anybody may say Tinubu has strengthened the respect SWners used to have politically.......the role he is likely to play in who will get the APC ticket is apt as the zone remains the single strongest unified region in the APC



Yoruba folks should not let charlatans like Femi Aribisala obfuscate issues that are clear to us based on historical antecedents of all political regions and ethnic groups

Any new person to the Nike community will easily mistaken this building is a four star hotel and would look with utmost doubt wheb he is finally told that it belongs to senator. Gilbert Nnaji the senator representing Enugu east senatorial district.
The building which sits comfortably on a large hectare of land is situated just opposite the Nike lake hotel Enugu. A rough estimate of the worth of the mansion can run in Billions.
Senator Gilbert Nnaji is unarguably one of the nominal senators in Nigeria, A stammerer who hardly makes any contribution in the senate floor and can easily come off as a misrepresentative instead of a representative served as a member of the house of rep for 8 years before going to the senate. Aside this building, he also has another mansion at New haven Enugu and is a lover of cars. He drives many luxury cars including Toyota prado 2013 model, BMW sedan bullet proof, cadillac Escalade 2012 model, toyota 4runner 2012 model amongst others.

The question remains, can a honest senator afford all this with the money they make legally.

Now, this projection is causing great nightmare and feverish condition to Buhari's haters who are relying on electoral malpractices to cruise home victory. It's obvious to the TAN group that no amount of electoral manipulation figure could over turn the wishes of some of the states marked to vote Buhari. Now that sentiment has been replaced with realism over gov't performance, the coast is clear to elect the people's choice irrespective of the ungodly activities of political jobbers loitering town and the inter net for space to sell lies and mischieves to unformed Nigerians. The era of playing emotion card over manifestos is gradually dwindlling. Whoever thinks that mistake made during the last presidential election in states like Lagos, Kaduna, Katsina etc that saw pdp victorious is dreaming this time around. All things being equal, Buhari had no better chance of displacing the Gej's gov't like now. And again, pdp must be warned not to temper with the people's vote because its body language is already dancing to that direction. Any reason to do that may spell doom and catastrophy. Once again, op u have done a wonderful assessment and justice to the post.

“Under Buhari’s watch as Petroleum Minister in the late 1970s, $2.8 billion (worth billions of naira today) was missing from the NNPC ACCOUNT.
The matter was subject to Senate investigation under the Chairmanship of Olusola Saraki in 1983.
But, before the report could be dealt with, Buhari conveniently overthrew the Shagari government in a military coup.” Femi Aribisala, VANGUARD, Tuesday, October 21, 2014.


“Be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as snow, thou shalt not escape calumny.” Shakespeare, 1564-1616. (VANGUARD BOOK p 25).


N.B. The title had been slightly amended from Part 1. I never experienced so many tears shed over a few words; so many crying more than the bereaved. And, the fun is just starting.


Aribisala, in an astonishing demonstration of arrogance of ignorance piled more falsehoods into one paragraph than any respectable columnist and public opinion molder should be allowed to get away with in two years.


I don’t know how old Femi is, but let me present FACTS which can be verified, not wooly statements like “in the late 1970s”.

Buhari became the Federal Commissioner for Petroleum and Natural Resources in 1976 and held that position until April, 21, 1977 when the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, was promulgated into law by Decree 33 of 1977.


Buhari was made the non-Executive Chairman of the Board which included, the Managing Director, the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Finance, the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Economic Development, the Managing Director, and three persons to be appointed by the Federal Executive Council.


Contrary to what Femi, in his absolute ignorance wrote, the Commissioner’s power under the decree were so proscribed he could not have single-handedly removed a kobo, not to talk of $2.8 billion, which the NNPC, in 1977-79, never had. (See my book PDP: CORRUPTION INCORPORATED Chapter 10.


In addition, I challenge Femi Aribisala to provide the Annual Reports and Accounts of the NNPC from 1977 to 1979 to prove that the Corporation, in its entirety, was worth $2.8 billion. If the entire organization was not worth that much, how on earth could $2.8 be missing?


At any rate what were the MD, the Permanent Secretaries and the other Board members doing while Buhari alone made $2.8 billion to disappear?


Furthermore, at the time, the President granted the crude lifting permissions; and the revenue was paid directly into the Central Bank account. How did Buhari collect $2.8 billion from the CBN? And where is Femi’s proof? I can bet my life he can provide none. NONE!!!

For Femi’s education, because he badly needs it, the only $2.8 billion which made the headlines in 1978-1979, and later became the stuff of hostile columns by people like late Dr Tai Solarin and the butt of jokes by Fela Anikulapo, Abami Eda, was the $2.8 billion loan which Obasanjo secured for Nigeria and which several people claimed was mostly embezzled.


I have no proof of theft. But, I know that $2.8 billion had featured in our history only once in 1978-1979 and it was the loan.

Now, let me quickly turn to the coup of 1983 and Buhari’s involvement in it, which Femi, deliberately inferred was staged to prevent a report by Saraki from being presented.


Here again, Femi’s grasp on Nigeria’s history is so poor that I hope this is not representative of the stuff he teaches; if it is, the students have my sympathy.

To start with, Buhari was the Head of the Third Armored Division in Jos when the coup plotters, led by Babangida and Abacha struck.

They invited Buhari to come and take charge and removed him at their conveniece. So, the statement “Buhari conveniently overthrew Shagari” is a blatant lie. The lie is made more heinous by the fact that there was no Saraki report to “be dealt with”. Let me quickly explain why.

Shagari was re-elected for the second term and sworn in October 1, 1983. From October to December of that year, just three months, both the Executive and the legislative branches of government were still taking shape.


The Senate President had just finished the composition of the numerous committees of the Senate and none had resumed work before they went on Christmas break in mid-December – and from there into retirement.

When exactly did the Saraki “investigation” start? Who were the people called? And when was the report prepared? Even the village idiot knows that the Nigerian Senate does not work so fast as to dispose of alleged theft of $2.8 billion in two and a half months. Was Buhari called or are we to believe that the Committee would investigate a matter and write a report without calling the one accused?


The whole damned thing is simply a figment of Aribisala’s over-fertile imagination thrown up to satisfy his anti-North, anti-Islam bigotry…
