Madam oversabi, where are Sambo's certificates or your pretense for objectivity and maintaining standards does not apply to him?

I dislike fake people. Smello like you.

Hmmm, from Nig politics to insults? How predictable but those nasty words u used there are hereby applied to u and all u hold dear!

Now for Sambo...he has met basic requirements, his O'level cert is in place. His tertiary certificates which his affidavit covers are wat were referred to. I did say that an affidavit must be of truth and in line with common sense. There's no denying that his house was burned down in Kaduna by unscrupulous elements so it is at least plausible dat those certificates were consumed. Letters from d Registrar of his university or so...substantial authority...were also tendered, confirming that he indeed attended d uni n received his first n second degrees. The truth or otherwise of his oath is subject to conjecture but it is within common sense.
GMB's case is anoda kettle of fish! Who leaves original certificates out of his possession n with an employer? Say it is a requirement though, should it not have bn returned at the end of his career? Is it right or within reason to constantly refer to your former office for documentary validation of qualifications u claim? Quite strange...

Fourwinds:
u didn't read my post well. I said d military can assist him with his foto copies. God forbid if anything happens to my original., d first place I will go to are places I have worked. den take affidavit before proceding to my former school

The end point is that GMB has slept on his rights n been remiss in his responsibilities. Assuming his original docs are in d possession of d Army according to some people, is he nt supposed to have collected dem at d end of his career as an Army Officer? Say also they got misplaced by d Army, have the intervening years not been enough to take steps to secure a certified true copy? Does it mean he didn't regard wat little documents he had as important? I wonder if he can actually perform in a democratic setting, he still seems inclined to a unilateral system of force where what he says goes unquestioned.

Fourwinds:
dis my question. dis is not d first time Buhari is contesting so who is playing games here. when my friends house was razed by fire. it was d foto copy of his certificate he submitted at his place of work he used as a proof to obtain affidavit before going to his former school to complain. so if Buhari was in d army den d army should be able to produce whatever certificate(foto copies) he had submitted to dem. so y d hullabalu here

Apply same standards na... Ok, there was a fire but it was your friend dat provided photocopies as proof of d destroyed original n then on to d affidavit n all abi? Ehen, GMB shld at least produce photocopies too n do d needful from there. Na disposable n most likely disposed photocopy of d 60's n 70's u want d NA to dig up n produce because of GMB? Think about it...

PUSH1:
Open your eyes to reality and stop making pointless arguments. The inec can make reference to the NDA and the US Army if they want to authentic his affidavits. If he never attended the NDA and the US army. Let them say it.

Read the letters of the law...O'level Certificate. INEC is not allowed to make deductions or inferences to the point of the US Army! Choi! bros so US Army is d "pointful" argument that there is since my earlier statements are pointless to u?
On what basis/qualification did he get to d NDA/US Army as u so conveniently claim? So because of election INEC should ask the US Army to verify that one Muhammadu Buhari has sth to do with dem at some point? isn't that too far-reaching even for u?
If you run an organization n u are employing ppl abeg who dey bring documents as evidence of required qualifications? Employer or applicants? Even if you conduct a verification of a professional certification for instance, will it not be because documentary evidence to that effect was submitted initially? Besides, his affidavit refers to the Secretary of the Military Board of the Nigerian Army so wetin carry NDA/US Army for d matter? In short ehn, I give up!

Share of favour, blessings and everything good!

Na wa for some people o! Just because of your support for a person for reasons best known to you, you have decided not to even inquire into obvious legality issues! The law stipulates basic qualifications for certain positions; INEC as electoral umpire has the power to examine these and they must be originals, certified true copies or affidavits of whatever their status is, which must be true and in line with common sense. Those of you asking for photocopies, in your various plces of work or schools, did u present only photocopies? Did you not bring originals for sighting and did your original documents not remain in your possession? How then can someone say his original credentials are in the possession of his former employer and it is accepted by some hook, line and sinker? Where then is our patriotism? By our votes, we are the employers of whoever occupies any elective office and as an employer or as employers, there are basic standards which applicants must meet! Will you run your office or organization on sentiments? So why attempt to run Nigeria that way? Notwithstanding the corruption and poor performance of past leaders, if there must be change the basic foundation has to be in place upon which to build! How can people then blatantly ask for a waiver of constitutional provisions because GMB is involved? Is he above the law? This is a verifiable issue so it should be dealt with accordingly!

When people say PDP and GEJ are behind the current saga, the bottom line should be: Has there been a contravention of the law in this regard? A person cannot be blackmailed unless he actually has something to hide or be ashamed of! The law may appear to be applied selectively but it remains the law! It would have been a problem if the PDP aspirants were exempt form these educational requirements but that is not the case so why cry foul?

These are the issues! I dunno whether to regard dis as double standards or plain stupidity... This is an 8yr old kid, obviously a minor. if she fires a gun that kills someone maybe accidentally, it will be ruled as juvenile offense...pata pata e end for psychological analysis. Of course she's not old enough to vote n most likely cannot make responsible decisions for herself. Now, ds 8yr old suddenly has a notion dat she'd rather be one of d boys n rather than lovingly direct her in d way nature has programmed, they suddenly believe she's old enough to know wat she wants from age 4, enough to decide something as fundamental as her sex! They even go as far as holding her up as an example of being supportive...hmmm Na wa o!

I'm certain dis is all about political correctness n nothing else cos I wonder why a parent can leave ds kinda decision in the 'capable' hands of an 8yr old but you're prepared to use every imaginative means of encouraging ur children to eat their vegetables n greens for instance, even when dey clearly dont want to! Drama, rubbish n ingredients...e concern dem.

This kind story...hmm. I just hope he actually has d minimum requirement of Standard 6/School leaving cert o! make e no be d more we look d less we see.

if these lazy n selfish legislators had raised d bar on minimum academic qualifications for contesting elections into certain offices we no for dey talk sum kind things now o!

guy i said look at d stori frm anoda perspective...

what do u tink might hv motivated d guy?

read what i wrote again... am nt in support ok!

peace

First, I'm female not 'guy'. Next, my point is that the perspective of the physical appearance of a toddler does not and should not hold water. Even if she is nekiid or wearing the kinkiest of attires, she should be recognized for what she is, a child! What is on the body of a 4yr old that should evoke thoughts of sex or konji to the point of ra.pe? Assuming he did commit the offence, I'm certain that the moment the child felt threatened even b4 actual penetration that would cause d most horrific pains, her first reaction would be to cry out for her Mom or Dad! if that isn't enough to clear that haze of sexual frustration (konji) from the eyes n consciousness of the ra.pist, then he's beyond redemption. Like I said, it takes a depraved, twisted and evil-infested mind to go all d way.

salvatore007:
Those of you bashing the boy have u looked at the story frm anoda perspective?

The way parents dress dia minors now adays is alarming...

Konji no dey rise by e sef na...

So parents dress ur kids appropriately and mind who u keep ur children with..

p.s: am nt in support of d crime..

My 2cents

Hey! Pls don't go down that lane! It only takes a depraved, twisted and evil-infested mind to see anything remotely konji-inducing in a 4yr old! Even if she's naked! The only tot or emotion that should be had by any right-thinking adult should be care n love geared towards nurturing the young into adulthood!
If he's really guilty n not a victim of circumstances then he's to blame 100+%
On reading ur first line I thought u wanted to talk about the defective charge without an address or his being remanded without his plea taken and therefore no option of bail for now or even that he might just have been a convenient scapegoat! it's galling to even read wat u wrote about the possibility of the child/mother being blamed because of how d child might have been dressed! Damn!

Chei! The first time I came across this this list of cut-off marks for admission into Unitary Colleges, I was pained! Is it not the same curriculum that all students are exposed to? Is it not the same Nigeria? So why the disparity if it is not to give undue advantage to a particular area over others! If the differences were within a range of 10-20 marks, it would have been fairly tolerable; if the gap was even progressively narrowed say from 2, to 20, to 40, 60 and so on, say every 2 years, it might have been fair but nothing of the sort! In fact, to ask a student to score up to 139 and another just 2...that's the height of injustice!
If there must be good development in education, then the perceived dull and disadvantaged ones should be brought up to scratch! If they don't have to work hard and still get all benefits how then will we move from the bad position? Funny enough, the people they are doing such favour do not even wish to go to said school and get an education. Shebi dem say na boko haram? So what is the point or justification?

Good for the Nigerian Judiciary, Olisa Agbakoba (SAN) and the Nigerian education system. It had better be implemented such that all students should be required to score no less than 139 and not bring it all down to 2! I dey talk am because retrogression is their stock-in-trade and na dem be Minister of Education since! Choi! Naija must get it right!

Wamakko! Wamakko! Wamakko! I no go ask how many times I call u! Dem say na for house dem dey first sabi charity. A combination of effective state governments will definitely reflect a much better n improved Nigeria. So let's start from u...at least nobody was harassing or interrupting ur 'efforts' if any but at least GEJ can give that excuse n even with all d wahala from ur part of Nig, GEJ has still performed commendably even though not perfectly. So Wamakko, wat say u?
Yeye dey smell...u shld first apologize for ur unfortunate existence!

It appears that Rivers State Governors are d usual victims of this political use n dump sessions. Peter Odili was no different bt him try, he put someone in place dt was instrumental to his securing a perpetual injunction so even if he's politically irrelevant, he's still chopping his pay free from harassment n fear of jail.

I can't say same for Rotimi Amaechi...just became a turncoat without any support base cos he's in deep sh.it if PDP returns to power n won't fare much better if d APC he gave up all for, comes into power. At this point, he's damned if he does n damned if he doesn't...
Even d Rivers Judiciary will not spare him if sh.it actually hits d fan n knowing Naija, when it does hit, it won't spread indiscriminately as expected, it will selectively gather itself n land on a scapegoat...u know who!

The way I see it, everybody has their share of cr.ap and sh.it and there's no denying that. However, a relationship and ultimately marriage, is about deciding whose sh.it you can take! If you can deal with all he dishes out and still come out smelling like roses, that's all fine and good but if you use your tongue to count your teeth and it sums up to more than the standard 32, you probably might be setting yourself up for "biting more than you can chew" or taking on more than you can deal with. Check am...

Goodness gracious! This is so...da.mn! Adjectives fail me right now!

This has got to itch like crazy!

After all said and done, he will not be with me on the D-day na abi? We will come from different places and meet at the church so if he sees me walking down the aisle and observes some make-up on my face he will then call off the marriage and the sole/legitimate reason he would give would be the make-up on my face? Abi he will suspend it till I clean it off? Then he must be a real joker and probably wasn't even prepared for marriage in the first place! Abegi!

Please how does our dear Nig govt lose billions to exam malpractices? Is it that less people fail than they expect and therefore not as many people or customers come to re-write the exams? Whoever is engaged in d malpractice must have paid and registered to even be qualified to sit for said exams na, abi no be so again? Na wa o! Nowhere wey Naija no dey loss money yet we still dey as we dey...there is God!

He would be the greatest political prost.itute of all time! Jumping from party to party...these are people that can achieve a lot to move Nigeria forward with their wealth and influence but no, they rather waste it on fruitless ventures...

Mr Cram Jones, I thought you'd acknowledged, and rightfully so, that your usefulness on Nairaland had long been exhausted? Is your attack on PDP and Pres. Goodluck tantamount to a steady supply of oxygen for you without which you may perish? Na wa o! Keep to your words if you can...

It means the lady must have some assistance o! Again this might be doable for small-breasted ladies but I doubt the feasibility of this for busty ladies with heavy frontal endowments...

Wow! He will stabilise oil prices...hmmm. How much is stable to him in the first place? It would appear that the title of 'clueless' has to pass from one person to another...#youknowwho!

Samchelsea:
Whatttttttt!!!!........yerimaaaa??
I give up

Not the same person. The perv and dirty old man is Senator Yerima Ahmed, this is Alh. Yerima Shettima, said to be the youngest of all the Presidential aspirants. I'm sure the child molester and Sharia kingpin is older than GEJ

phlemzy:
If he rigs successfully in the 36 states & FCT, he will still lose.

This is unfair naa...haba!

2018! Why not shut up and wait until then? At least until a time when you're sure everything is in place? Na dis kain talk dey make am be like say una no serious...cum start to dey shift date...

eherbal:
She's still far better than some Nigerian gurls that form church tinz, whereas their t0t0 is a train drive thru. At least she's honest enough to let the world know that change is possible. Nigerian babes are the worst pretenders in the whole solar system

With the kind of reactions on this thread, why won't d 'Nigerian girl' pretend? so much judgment n condemnation, no one is bothered that she was gang-ra.ped at 18...
I know someone will still tastelessly say, "Is she d only one that has been ra.ped"? A little sympathy would be nice...It's no excuse nor reason bt dt occurrence is as nasty as they come!

Truth is, there's no need to be all crass n sour-mouthed. A good person may take a bad turn in life, if that person is fortunate enough to turn around n start living right, d person should be encouraged n not put down!

Talking of honesty, if you meet a girl n you've been dating for a while, you've even had sex and you're generally happy cos she's just a good person n you honestly wouldn't mind having her for keeps then in feeling happy n free with u too, she decides to tell you all about her past which includes multiple partners, say about 15-30, will u not suddenly decide that she's a bad girl, judge her n leave her? Perhaps even trash her name further? Someone that u knw in d past yr, for instance, that you've been with her she'd never cheated or given u cause to doubt her fidelity, will u not suddenly decide that she'll start cheating on u if u marry her? Abegi!

Until Shekau n co stop calling on allah when they perpetrate their evil deeds, it remains an islamic agenda, 100%! Yusuf n co, when they started blabbing about Western education, what did they profer as an alternative? Was it not a more islamic alternative of d almajiri system or maybe ignorance? If there was any political undertone, it was engendered by northern, muslim politicians; they know dt d islamic religion naturally creates a volatile mentality n mindset so the idiots u see throwing bombs here n there are just easy prey because said leaders denied dem quality education n enlightenment in d first place!

Is the North the only poor region? What about the war-torn SE? Pollution-ravaged SS nko? How well-placed is d SW? This BH menace remains a Northern n islamic agenda, blowing up a few mosques here n there n pretending to attack d likes of GMB, Emirs n co are mere smoke-screens. When they set out for the real deal, they don't miss! Sabotage in d Army n armed forces generally, is due to same northern n islamic agenda...Time alone will tell; may we be alive to hear wat time says.

Clearly GMB is 100% certain that terrorism/insurgency will continue as it is and that's why it appears to him a 'viable' electioneering tool...hmm

FRIST DATE?

Yes o! First date! There has to be a way of asking conversationally without appearing like you're conducting an investigation.
I've experienced same broken relationship due to genotype ish n it isn't funny! I had to learn
