Buhari should av' joined other farmers,and boast our economy.he should av' applied for loan,and am sure Gej will grant him a special loan,so that he can increase his cows from 150 it use to be for the past years,to at least 300,and employ his fulani brothers,instead of all these weepings and shames

Olodo, if you have to be sarcastic you could at least try to do it under the correct subject/matter; the programme is for DRY SEASON FARMING not CATTLE REARING - shey you know the difference.

Looks like a giant tilapia fish....

Yummy!!!!!

No its not tilapia but the Nile Perch, scientific name: Lates Niloticus; its one of the biggest freshwater fish local to many rivers and lakes in Africa including many waterways in northern Nigeria.

It is a predatory fish, preying on other fish, making it a good game fish for sporting anglers because it is a good fighter, requiring adept skills to be hooked and landed using rod and reel (i.e. fishing oyinbo style).

It can grow to much bigger size (larger than a grown adult) as shown in the attached photograph and such sizes had been caught with bare hands by our local fishermen, during the once very popular biannual Argungun fishing festival (Argungu is a small historic fishing town in now Kebbi State in northern Nigeria).

Unfortunately, the festival doesn't hold as frequent as before and with time had also lost its cultural value and importance (google for more information).

The fish is arguably the most delicious and most valued among our local freshwater fish, because it has very little bone apart from the central (main) bone and the ones in its fins (dorsal, lateral and ventral) otherwise the flesh is free of bone and indeed very tasty - in fact just too yummy.

Its local Hausa name is Giwan Ruwa, meaning elephant of the water, so if anyone of you guys should ever venture to the north (in particular Hausaland) and wants to order or buy this fish in the local lingo - well you now know what to say.

Continue giving yourself false hope! Even if Kwankwasor campaigns for GEJ he won't still garners up to 15% votes. Remember, Kwankwasor campaigned for OBJ to return to aso rock in 2003 against Buhari cost him His re-election in 2003. Kwankwasor would rather play neautral than supporting GEJ.

Your observations are spot on, even if true its already too late; Kano has always been Buhari's stronghold throughout Nigeria, beyond even his homestead in Katsina; Kwankwaso would therefore be committing the same mistake Ribado did if he should dare betray the love of his ppl for (mai Gaskiya) Buhari.

Let him just try and I can bet you that he (Kwankwaso) would not even get the Senatorial seat he is after, in the coming elections, because he would have lost all his hard earned political credibility and the goodwill of the Kanawas - believe me the stakes are just too high for him to take that gamble.

LOL

Perhaps, the same copy of the Cambridge from Channels Television will give a crispier view. Apparently, the copy from premium times had been photocopied over and over again. Now, what were you saying?

Don't mind them, besides my father who graduated from secondary in 1973 informed me his classmates and students before his set sat Hausa in their WASC exam; whoever therefore is suggesting that this subject became available only after 1974 is committing a folly - there are many alive today who can testify, it will not be too difficult to prove.

On the other issue of the purported forged statement result of released from Buhari's school, I hereby humbly reproduce (paste) my earlier post in another thread here:

Oh my God, these TANoids and their convoluted brains that can't function at all; the so called certificate holders clearly exposing their stupidity and ineptitude over a matter of simple comprehension.

For goodness sake NO!!!!! it is NOT a CERTIFICATE but a statement of result issued from the school.

Note the school was not and still is not the certifying authority (ie the examining body) and so cannot issue a certificate in respect of anyone, including Buhari; however it had in its possession records of his achievement as a student i.e. O levels results, which it duly released on behalf of Buhari on request, using its own official format for that purpose i.e. letter heading and styling in use as at the time of the request.

It should be clear that the said statement of result from the school was not in anyway purported to represent a copy of the original statement of result originating from the examining body (in Cambridge England) let alone a certificate; but merely a confirmation of its contents i.e. name, exam no. date, subjects, grades etc; signed and dated by the school on the date it released the said document for and on behalf of Buhari.

In other words, the document could correctly be described as a testimonial.

Buhari obtained his records from his former school in the same manner anyone could be caused to, many years later; and the school complied accordingly using its current style/format.

Simply put, the document was NOT a FORGERY because the school was not obliged to go back and use its old provincial format (which it must have abandoned by now) i.e. when Buhari was still at school in current (day) times - just like anyone's alma mata would be expected to do the same if he or she would request for such information today.

The issue of conflicting dates etc are therefore due to the misinterpretation of the doubting minds of those who fail to reason with their brains and see the facts as they are before them - LOL, so called certificate holders are the ones failing themselves, yeah graduates of Otuoke school of reasoning.

Well if you wrote JAMB in 2000 then you should have known that back in 2000. you can apply for JAMB with awaiting result and also get admission into the university as long as you pass the required JAMB cut off mark. I wrote my first JAMB with awaiting result. However you need to get the WAEC awaiting result ready before the end of registration. So Buhari applied into the Nigeria army with awaiting result from his principal and there is nothing wrong with that.

This also applied in England, my father got admitted into university there in the 70's that way, through UCCA (Universities Central Council on Admission) on the basis of his mock A Levels only, before the actual exams and release of results; the admissions were of course provisional i.e. conditional upon passing and acquiring required grades for the relevant course and university applied for.

Meanwhile, I am laughing at the stupidity of PDP for their failure in comprehension on this issue of the requisite qualification requirement for elective office, based on their inability to correctly interpret our constitution - even though the relevant provisions have been clearly spelt out in simple language, yet many of them (so called big certificate holders) are quick to call others illiterates; while they themselves cannot even accomplish this basic intellectual exercise let alone educate their ignorant followers - who foolishly continue to celebrate their ineptitude as if it were a badge of honor.

To hell with Obasanjo, If GEJ did not complete his Ph.D Course and so..............

The Stupidity of Obasanjo will escalate further, cos He feels neglected and side line. I Joined same flight with him last year to Addis Ababa, Via Ethiopian Airline Precisely April 29 2014 , he was humbled and disgrace by Ethiopian Immigration Officials. Trying to breach protocol. (Shame)

I expect much more from him, Example: Advice to African Presidents and not trying to ignite match stick and through it into a fuel socked grass.

You have ruled, why not keep clear, and allow other to battle it out.

Shey you know: He who demands for equity must come with clean hands .i.e what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

PDP are digging themselves into a grave; its a real big wonder how a PhD holder and his team of advisers along with his vast army of supporters cannot correctly interpret the provisions of our constitution concerning the qualification requirements for elective office - even though these requirements are clearly spelt out in plain simple English, yet they are quick to call others illiterate.

Anyway, the reality of their folly is slowly beginning to dawn on some of them - LOL, its quite amusing watching some of their predictable reactions - check bellow.

Freedom of speech:

LOL, your Otouke certificate is really speaking for itself.

Sajio:
He can be your classmates! the question is, did he graduate?? did he have a WAEC result? indirectly, you are saying everyone that went to university graduated?? Hausa peeps self!! Bhari nor get result.

Since when is intelligence related to tribe?
Your reference to the Hausa ppl in that context reeks of abject ignorance and an unfortunate level of bigotry - I truly feel sorry for you.

LOL, I see Jonathan being spanked.

Yes, let him declare his assets and show us his THESIS.

[b] "BUHARI WILL PASS WEST AFRICAN SCHOOL CERTIFICATE WITH CREDITS IN ENGLISH , MATHS AND THREE OTHER SUBJECTS"
HAUSA/FULANI DON FINISH THIS COUNTRY.
PEOPLE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES WILL BE PRESENTLY BE LAUGHING AT WE NIGERIANS OVER THIS KIND OF CERTIFICATE OR LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION THAT BUHARI'S FORMER PRINCIPAL WROTE TO THE ARMY
"BUHARI WILL PASS WEST AFRICAN SCHOOL CERTIFICATE WITH CREDITS IN ENGLISH , MATHS AND THREE OTHER SUBJECTS"
WHEN DID BUHARI'S PRINCIPAL BECOME TB JOSHUA TO PROPHECIZE ABOUT BUHARI'S RESULT OR WHEN DID BUHARI'S PRINCIPAL BECOME A BOOKMAKER TO PREDICT BUHARI'S RESULT.
EVEN PREMIUM TIMES WHICH PEOPLE CALL A PRO APC MEDIA ORGANIZATION HAD TO COME CLEAN ON THIS ISSUE, COS THE LIES AND DECEITS OF BUHARI AND HIS CAMP JUST KEEP INCREASING EVERYDAY.


CHAI DIS COUNTRY TOO MUCH COMEDY N DRAMA


ALL QUALIFICATION OF HAUSA/ FULANI IN THE MILITARY AND OTHER FEDERAL ESTABLISHMENTS SHOULD BE SCREENED AND VETTED, LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THEM DON'T HAVE THE REQUIREMENTS TO ENTER SUCH ESTABLISHMENT.

"BUHARI WILL PASS WEST AFRICAN SCHOOL CERTIFICATE WITH CREDITS IN ENGLISH , MATHS AND THREE OTHER SUBJECTS" ...........SIGNED PRINCIPAL
SINCE WE NOW KNOW "Buhari will pass WAEC", his campaign DG Rotimi Amechi and his party APC should quickly enroll him in a nearby school in Kastina for the upcoming WAEC examinations
LORD HAVE MERCY
HAUSA /FULANI DON FINISH US[/b]

DINDIRIN, get this through your thick scull that the constitution does no require him or any contestant to attain/obtain/ possess let alone show any certificate of education to qualify him for election.

It further doesn't even require him pass any exam (WAEC or otherwise); it simply requires a contestant to be literate i.e. to be able to read and write and communicate effectively.

In fact it even left this wide open to the judgement of the electoral commission (INEC); which as we all know has already cleared Buhari fit enough to contest; that explains why your master and his party PDP have not rushed to court because they already know GMB has no case to answer.

If however, you are still not satisfied, you and anyone feeling that way can still take the matter up with the judiciary; though no matter whatever you decide to do, including ranting and raving and even frothing in the mouth like a rabid dog; it will still not change the fact that GMB is duly qualified to stand for election and that millions of Nigerians are willing to put their trust in him; while sadly you remain too dumb and stewpid to comprehend the blatantly simple aspect of our constitution, entitling him to that right - though the bare facts are clearly laid out there for all and sundry; you unfortunately remain in an intellectually isolated cul de sac, too fixated to understand - my God help you.

BTW, your insult against the Hausa/Fulani is noted but it would be of no benefit to respond to you likewise - at least not for now.

Its not ppl, even the goats are doing their own, LOL

@OP:
Na only ppl?
Check this out, even goats are doing their own.

It simply tells you how flawed the Nigerian constitution is. If what they are trying to tell us,is that with a mere ability to read and write,you can contest for the office of the president of the federal republic of Nigeria,it tells you how low we have sunk as a nation. This alone,rubbishes the hardwork that has been put into work by most well educated citizens who have burnt candle at midnight,and have taken the pain to cope with the stressful educational system you have in Nigeria. As it is,it means we can't blame students in secondary and tertiary institutions today,who aren't reading or taking their book work serious. So long as they can read and write,they can become the president tomorrow. How comfortable are we with this kind of arrangement? If previous military leaders were well educated,I'm sure Nigeria would have been better than it is today cos they probably would have brought their educational experience to bare,while leading the nation. You can't compare the decisions an educated man will make,to one who just stopped at primary school. The Nigerian constitution handed over to us by the military needs overhauling. We like to compare ourselves with America or UK but I doubt if these countries would ever present an uneducated candidate during their presidential elections.

Unfortunately, your educational system (which you keep harping on about) is proving to be flawed, if anything is to go by then the current Otuoke and Okrika couple occupying Aso Rock, both supposed degree holders (Phd and BSc respectively) are fast proving that paper qualification alone in Nigeria is increasingly meaningless - not mentioning their embarrassing blunders, continually making Nigerians cringe and the country as a whole the laughing stock of the international community anytime anyone of them dares to open their mouth.

DDeliverer:
Hope this nonsense you are saying now is not what your oga wants to say tomorrow sha??
Remind him he said his certificate is with iBB o..B4 he starts confusing himself tomorrow..

Dalu!

DDeliverer:
So you are saying 'there is no point having a certificate'? Bros, who has bewitched you?

What I am saying is that the constitution does not make acquisition of a certificate mandatory i.e I am in agreement with the topic that Buhari or anybody else does not need a certificate to contest - of course it is not my problem if you and many like you cannot comprehend lest understand the relevant provisions as quoted.

I have news for you, according to this (upload I came across) on the constitutional meaning of certificate; in fact the minimum requirement is not even education to certificate level but only an ability to read and write up to the satisfaction of the electoral commission or similar - check this out, especially sub-sections ci-iii; and d which left it entirely open to the determination of INEC.

Operation stone the devil

LOL devil indeed

@OP:
Its not only political rats but goats too.

ezugegere:
How do u prove you have acquired education to a certain level, if you don't have certificate to show? What is the purpose of issuing certificates?

A certificate is one among others.
Buhari had provided another option through an affidavit.
The military board had provided yet another - copy of a letter from his school.
There are many more e.g. school year books, a testimonial and other similar records.

While certificate essentially confirms the level of excellence but not the only way.

CyberWolf:
Nigerians hope you are seeing what this northern oligarch has done and is still doing to you? ...Game on. If you like vote Buhari so that your masters and PhDs will just serve as qualification as keke drivers and akara sellers while they become directors and perm. Secs without wassce.. A word is enough for the wise

Shey you saw how your so called PhD holder in Aso Rock, 'stealing is not corruption and partner (also a supposed degree holder) a.k.a 'I will rather kill myself than commit suicide,' are disgracing their certificates with incessant embarrassing blunders, thereby confirming the suspicion that paper qualifications in Nigeria are increasingly becoming meaningless.

mobuch:
My constitution which I purchased directly from unilag bookshop thru my lawyer friend clearly states that u need to have a minimum of secondary school certificate to run for the office of the president, if yours didn't state so, then am sure its a pirated copy u bought under ojuelegba bridge.

Yes your constitution, only you alone, with your unique copy; LOL you are very incredible - what an air-head.

mobuch:
Son, I have the nigerian constitution and all what u have just stated is not accurate, u need to go back and read the constitution properly so as not to pass the wrong info.

Pls prove me wrong by quoting the relevant part of the constitution which contradicted my position - I am waiting, do not disappoint me, pls,

mobuch:
The constitution is clear on the minimum qualification required to run for the highest office in the land, if Buhari cannot produce his waec certificate or evidence that he wrote the exam, then he should go back to daura and play with his grandchildren whilst waiting for the supreme call from the gods.

Then you must go back to school and revise your comprehension; show me where the constitution required he must produce his certificate or evidence he wrote any exam.

oluvick:
So the recommendation letter from the school principal, (who might even be Buhari's relative, somehow), was enough to enrol him in the Army and now as a president? WOW.

See as these people are making mockery of our education.

If Buhari is qualified to run for president, of what use is going to school then?

APC.....change indeed. And they claim to be educated.

Sorry, no one is making mockery of our education but you and others who are unnecessarily fixated on this issue of certificate due to your poor comprehension and interpretation of a simple short sentence from our constitution.

Section 65 (2) says a person shall be qualified for election under subsection 1 of this section if (a) he has been educated up to at least School Certificate level or its equivalent; and (b) he is a member of a political and is sponsored by the party.

Pls prove where the above provision explicitly required a candidate must obtain/possess let alone show/produce/submit his certificate or equivalent.

It should be obvious that the constitution only required for education to a certain level (school certificate or its equivalent) - key word here being LEVEL (not certificate).

Note, it doesn't even require for such person to have succeeded; otherwise it would have been more specific e.g. included such clauses as: successfully completed, passed the final exam, obtained or been awarded the certificate etc.

Therefore all this conjecture about GMB not being qualified is just hogwash, based on emotions rather than common sense.
Furthermore if PDP knew they have a valid case of disqualification against Buhari, they would since rushed to court as provided for by our electoral Act. - instead they rather prefer to keep this propaganda alive for maximum gain.
