@Kagame----The NSE status as at now has defied all LOGIC, MARKET INTELLIGENCE and INFORMATION as u stated. I'll advice you to state your prediction on NSE or better still operate at SAFE MODE than for u to have a GO at Chibuking (JIJO master)

I have been in this stock business for good number of years, as a child, as a youth and as a man with web of knowledge and experience, if you do not know, know it today that workers salary to the tone of billions enter stock exchange market every month. Refering me as a worker, you are not far from the truth, been a government worker does not mean that I am not a business man, as a successful business man, I became a millionaire at the age of 25 with my first private car at the same age. As academician, I am a graduate with both HND and Bachelor degree awarded certificate holder. As a worker, I am a goverment staff.

Chibuking81:
my write up still remain the same, am still refering to the last week of this month and first week of next month, been next week and upper week for mini bull, hope you are not following my post to detect error and criticize, if it is so, pls change, thank you for your understanding.

Chibuking81:
The way am seeing it, the Nigeria general election might be postpone by one month or one month plus, worker that invest some percentage of their salary mainly toward the end of the month and begining of the month as case maybe, will bring back the mini bull this coming week/ upper week.

Hesistant?? It is a complete waste of time.

For many, it was the end of the issue...

tbaba1234:
Let what slide??

The secondary school has released pictures, the statement of result and the result sheet.

This is for a WASC that is not even necessary for him to contest as he has higher qualifications.

tbaba1234:
This WASC issue is not a 'pressing issue'. It is a silly distraction.

The School statement suffices...besides WASC is just a minimum requirement

It is easily verifiable that he went to the US war college and obtained a diploma... That is above a WASC certificate.

¶3. (C) Like President Obasanjo before the 1999 election, General Buhari's political experience is limited to that of military Head of State. Buhari came to power as a result of a 1983 New Year's Eve coup against the democratically elected Shehu Shagari. The eviction of Shagari came as a welcome relief as did Buhari's promise to root out corruption. That relief, however, was short-lived as Nigerians watched despairingly as the Buhari regime's promises to revive the economy and wipe out rampant corruption withered during 20 months of heavy-handed, largely ineffective rule.

¶7. (C) Buhari's current attempts to gain support from the Southeast have also been unrefined. After calling on the Southeast to unite with the North, Buhari stoked ire in the eastern region by tutoring Igbo politicians not to follow the path set by previous generations of Igbo politicians he described as mercenaries to the highest bidder. (Comment: While there may be a grain of truth in his remarks, it was grossly impolitic and politically naive for Buhari, as a visiting Northerner and supplicant for votes, to abuse and embarrass his Igbo hosts. This episode demonstrates Buhari's penchant for divisiveness in Nigerian politics, at the very moment when Nigeria needs a leader to unify the nation. End Comment.)

¶4.(C) In May 1984, Buhari ordered the brutal expulsion of 700,000 illegal immigrants from neighboring African states, jailed hundreds of political opponents and muzzled a once aggressive press. His loyalty to the military also came into question as he dismissed 30,000 soldiers as a cost-cutting measure. Buhari also soured Nigeria's relations with Britain, when he was accused of masterminding a clumsy and unsuccessful attempt in July 1984 to kidnap President Shagari's brother-in-law, former Transport Minister Umaru Dikko. Moreover, Buhari undermined traditional rulers throughout Nigeria, slashing their benefits and questioning their authority. Still, many of these moves resonated well with the common man. Now, economic hard times and the perception of avaricious politicians have caused many people in the North to remember Buhari's efforts nostalgically and see him as the man of the moment who can extirpate the corrupt, machiavellian elitism that still characterizes Nigerian politics.

¶5.(C) Despite accusations of heavy-handedness, supporters praise Buhari's former prosecution of corrupt public officials, governors, Ministers and others. Buhari supporters also contend he performed well as chairman of the now defunct Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF). In fact, the PTF did accelerate road construction, and subsidized agricultural equipment and pharmaceuticals. Schools and water works were also rehabilitated; some claim that the PTF performed better than most Ministries. However, detractors claim the PTF did disproportionately more for the Northwest than any other region, and that the South, in particular, was practically ignored.

¶6. (C) As if he had not alienated enough people during his previous tenure as Head of State, Buhari continues to trod on sensitive toes in his current quest for the presidency. Due to indelicate public statements, he has been accused religious bigotry. Last year, Buhari reportedly encouraged Muslims to vote only for a Muslim President. These reports caused a swift reaction in all sectors of Nigerian society, particularly from the Christian clergy. Buhari has been accused of "playing the religion card" and stirring up tensions. Buhari compounded his political gaffe by waiting two months before issuing a clarifying statement. According to Buhari, his call was not for exclusive voting along religious lines, rather an appeal to conscience.

(C) All in all, Buhari represents an ideologically vague but psychologically resonant viewpoint in the North. He is the pennant for a religiously conservative, yet politically anti-establishment Northern populism. It is these adjectival qualities that strongly endear him to those who fit into this category but also alienate him from the many Nigerians who do not.
