OLADD:[b]After all these insults you will see proofs as to why you should direct them to yourself. If I have a job interview today and my certificates are missing by some act out of my powers, would I skip the interview just because I don't have them? No. I will appear before the panel with an affidavit stating why I don't have copies of my certificates in my possession. The onus is on the interviewer to still grant me the interview to check the intelligent stuff in my head and then either make contacts with the institutions I claim to have attended or give me a time frame to get supporting documentation - replacement certificates or emails etc to prove my claim if they like my brain. Infact, reputable organisations still do background checks on recent employees just to confirm that their claimed documentations are genuine. The word of the institution supercedes the paper certificate. Just because you are particularly used to being insulted and treated like an animal by mushroom companies during job interviews doesn't mean that companies throw people with genuine reasons for lost documents out of the interview hall. Also, because you guys don't want an issue based campaign, that is why you harp on the certificate issue. Why don't PDP go ahead and research GMB's educational background and show us the loopholes. If they can do that, 2015 is theirs on a platter. PDP is either a very lazy bunch of individuals or they recognise that it is a non issue. By the way you don't even throw stones in a glass house. I bet you with the way Jonathan speaks with massive error of intellect and grammar all the time, a lot of Nigerians doubt he earned his PhD legitimately. You can see who deserves those insults of yours already. You're welcome. [/b] |
SUBMARINE:The last time I checked, PH is in the SS and has/had the potential to be a Dubai of Africa. It is the same lootocrats irrespective of tribal affiliations that keep us from getting there. If the 10Billion stolen annually through oil bunkering by GEJ's boys was pumped into development for the last 6 years, we won't be here asking for GEJ and his cronies' head. Abuja and Lagos got to where they are by virtue of being national capitals. Kano, Enugu, Ibadan etc have not faired better than PH. It is not a region specific problem. |
gogochocolate:The more reason why GEJ should go away in a haste if so much SS blood was shed for his ascendancy to power as you claim. How can your whole family contribute their last penny to educate only 1 child out of many and that child fails to achieve in his primary mission of getting an education? He should be disowned. |
rozayx5:You know you have no argument when ever I'm in town. The article did not.mention GMB but since you bring it up, let's go there. Why are you comparing a GMB's Nigeria under Austerity after the mishaps of the Shagari-led Gov't to a robust Nigeria that was inherited by GEJ? Look at this stats before you confuse yourself again LRNZH: |
tonytony208:None of you can bring one solid case of corruption on Amaechi. Monorail, it was GEJ that frustrated it to dampen the opposition achievements. Tinubu is not the future of APC and you know. Anyway if Tinubu and Amaechi are the only folks you know in APC then carry on. You still have work to do. The message I will leave you with is that Nigeria bleeds mostly through oil bunkering. Fashola said it was 400,000 barrels per day which equates to roughly $10Billion per annum at about $90 per barrel oil. The BBC claims it is $12Billion at $1Billion per month. Tompolo and all the militants aiding and abetting such colossal fraud are not APC but GEJ's boys. Tompolo and Asari are buying private jet, warships and building university respectively. If GMB in an APC Gov't can shut down oil bunkering to the barest minimum, I will classify them a success without doing nothing else. But I also know that GMB will hunt Boko Haram to their graves. |
While the book was written in 1984, and covers GMB's military era, you can read details about his post military era achievements in PTF here: https://www.nairaland.com/2071401/ptf-shining-gloom-buhari-success You will not be disappointed. |
Hawlahscho:So you believe that too? What does Islamizing Nigeria mean? Please explain it to me because I don't understand it. Do you know that every state in Nigeria has three Senators (except FCT-1) and at least 6 Representatives (FCT-2) in the National Assembly? How can GMB Islamize Nigeria while all these people are there in a democracy? Who will defend that bill? During GMB's military Gov't between Dec 1983 and Aug 1985 there was no attempt to to Islamize Nigeria, whatever that means. Under GMB then, out of the 19 governors, 10 were Christians, 8 were Muslims and 1 is claimed to be an atheist. Even the Ministries of Defence, Petroleum, Works, Finance, Justice and the CBN were all manned by Christians. As a Military Head of State, GMB appointed all these people without recourse to anybody else. Please do not believe that lie. |
tonytony208:I disgree on GMB being a bad manager on account of PTF's performance. Have you read this: https://www.nairaland.com/2071401/ptf-shining-gloom-buhari-success ? Find some time to read what you deem bad management. It will be for your good. Moreover, APC is a better organised party than PDP and it shows. GMB surrounded by APC brains will forever outdo GEJ and his cronies as we know them. That's the change we want. |
vanunu:So Boko Haram is not yet big mess to you? Another 4 years of clueless GEJ and Abuja down to River Niger and Benue will be Boko Haram territory. One day it will get to the South if we continue like this. |
By the way did NOI not promise that the PwC forensic Audit report will be released to the public this month - January? This was after an ealier promised time frame of November, 2014 was missed. We shall definitely see. One thing I am sure of is all these kurukere Gov't business will be exposed and shut down by GMB. |
Hawlahscho:Go out and vote. If it turns out well for Nigeria and Nigerians like you and I because of your vote, you will be proud of yourself. If it doesn't turn out well at least you tried. Sitting on the fence is not what brave people do. GMB and APC are a better choice in 2015. |
Hawlahscho:That is not all my brother. Whatever happens in 2015 wil impact you or your family if you live in Nigeria or plan to return to Nigeria. So you have to take stand a stand for or against GEJ. You know you cannot vote for both of them. You think abstaining means you're supporting none of them. But indeed you are supportnig GEJ without knowing it. It is like an objective exams. You only score if you pick the right answer. Not picking any answer is as good as picking the wrong one. ![]() Make up your mind on who you think will be a more effective Nigeria President and cast your vote unless you have another hindrance (insecurity or no PVC). |
One Emir giving his N21Billion testimony to the other Emirs ![]() |
All the illiterates in the house. I hail o. Kindly contact any of the institutions listed above in the OP to confirm if GMB never graduated from any of them. You people don't know the meaning of a certificate. It is only as genuine as the word of the institution that backs it. Ask the certificate issuer if GMB doesn't have one as claimed. Stop exposing yourselves like GEJ is doing now. Everytime he opens his mouth na errors. No be only "How Much Did Nwobodo stole?" UniPort PhD is being rubbished on a constant basis for the last 6 years. If I were the VC of UniPort I will come out and disown GEJ's PhD to reduce further damage to UniPort's reputation. |
His birds are coming home to roost. |
Hawlahscho:Know this today. An abstention from voting is a support for the status quo. Not voting is allowing another 4 years of GEJ. In life you can't have all you want. Would you rather GEJ's failure or give GMB a chance to at least clean up corruption from Nigeria? |
Tolexander:You're right. Talking about Firewood already means there's no electricity. It is implied. ![]() |
https://sunnewsonline.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Buhari-1975-702x336.jpg BY LAWRENCE ENYIOGHASU Well, not exactly the untold story of former military head of state and presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC). It is more like Muhammadu Buhari’s ‘unknown’ story, as not many Nigerians are familiar with the book written by Rosaline Odeh, the then Head of Research and Documentation Section, Federal Department of Information, in May 1984. The book, Muhammadu Buhari: Nigeria’s Seventh Head of State, was published by the Federal Department of Information, Domestic Publicity Division, Ikoyi Road, Lagos. It is in seven chapters of 95 pages, and details the early life, educational qualifications, career, and thoughts of the then head of state. Chapter 1 is on parentage and background of the Daura, Katsina State-born retired military officer and politician. He was the 13th and last child of his mother, and also the last of his father’s 23 children. Gen. Buhari’s father was Hardo Adamu, a Fulani chief of Dumukorl, a village near Daura. He, however, died when the young Muhammadu was just four years old. All he can remember of him is that “he was tall and fair in complexion.” The young boy ended being brought up by his mother, Hajia Zulaihalu Musa, who had great influence on him. Chapter 2 is on Buhari’s childhood and early education. This is the portion that, perhaps, unravels the current raging debate on his academic credentials. At the age of six, the book says, General Buhari was enrolled at the Central Primary School, Daura. His nephew, Mamman, who is two and a half years older, says of the young pupil: “He was above average academically and more than usual naughty.” Buhari himself corroborated: “I was a truant in primary school. I spent a lot of my time playing around. But when I went to secondary school, I changed.” Classmates at Daura Primary School remember Buhari as a fast runner and centre forward for the school football team. He was always neatly dressed. He was to finish primary education in 1955 at Kankia Primary School. In 1956, he proceeded to the Katsina Provisional Secondary School (now Government College, Katsina. According to his schoolmates, he had then become “a serious and hardworking student who tried to excel in everything he did.” Deeply religious, he said his prayers regularly, and was among those who made prayer calls at 4:30a.m. Who were some of Buhari’s classmates, and what did they say of him? General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua (now deceased): “He worked fairly hard at his studies and games. He was reserved. He was one of the few boys in the school trusted by his classmates, and was quite dependable.” Alhaji Fathu Abdullahi: "He made a lot of friends from outside his Daura group. He was very broadminded. Very serious for his age and had no time for frivolous talks. He was very religious, even at the age of 12.” Mallam Muktari, Zango: “He used to baffle me. He was so strong-willed and principled. He always stood his ground and did not follow the crowd.” Buhari was a school monitor in Class 2, later a school prefect, a house captain, and ultimately he was made the head boy of the school. According to the book, of all the boys who applied to join the Army from Katsina Secondary School, only two were taken. Muhammadu Buhari and Shehu Yar’Adua. They both ended up as Generals. Chapter 3 is on Buhari’s military career, which he started at Nigerian Military Training College, Katsina, in 1962. He then went to the Young Officers Course No. 5 at the Nigerian Military Training College, Kaduna, from May 1963 to July 1963, Mons Officers Cadet School, Aldershot, in the United Kingdom, and he was commissioned in the rank of Second Lieutenant and posted to 2nd Infantry Battalion in Abeokuta as a Platoon Commander. What are some of the other courses Buhari attended? According to the book, he was at the Army Mechanical Transport Officer’s Course in Bordon, United Kingdom from May 1965 to June of the same year, Defence Services Staff College, Wellington, India, from January to November 1973, and Army War College, U.S.A, from July 1979 to July 1980. During the Nigerian Civil War, he was the Brigade Major of the 3rd Infantry Brigade, and Commander, 31st Infantry Brigade. Chapter 4 is titled ‘Food for Thought,’ and it chronicles Gen Buhari’s views on different national and international issues. It also dwells on his private life and family ‘Landmarks Along the Way’ is the title of Chapter 5. It details Buhari’s footprints on the sands of time: as governor, minister, a member of the Supreme Military Council (SMC), General Officer Commanding (GOC), and call to duty as head of state. Chapter 6 is on ‘A Journey Into the Past.’ What are readers served here? The influences on Buhari’s early life that made him what he became, particularly as a modest, self-effacing man. Hear his comment on leadership: “If there is anything we need in this country, it is leadership, and I also think, if there is anything we have in this country, they are good soldiers. If you stay with your men, and train with them, they will follow you. Much will be accomplished. If you stay with them and train with them, they will do anything.” And his philosophy? “You will never succeed if you are unjust to your people.” The final chapter: ‘Moment of Decision.’ Here, readers will get the appraisal and comments of people on Buhari. They include Dr Onolapo Soleye, his Minister of Finance, the Emir of Daura, Gen Musa Yar’Adua, Alhaji Mamman Daura, Gen Martin Adamu, and many others. Adamu, who was Buhari’s Commander during the civil war, said: “I am saying with all sense of responsibility. I don’t think he is an ambitious man. He feels strongly about Nigeria as a country. Given the support of the Armed Forces and the public, there is no reason he should not succeed. This time is the last chance for Nigeria’s survival and territorial integrity. I believe everything he said in his first speech.” http://sunnewsonline.com/new/?p=99541 |

https://punch.cdn.ng/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Group-Managing-Director-NNPC-Dr.-Joseph-Dawha.jpg Group Managing Director, NNPC, Dr. Joseph Dawha The South-South geopolitical zone is the highest consumer of kerosene in the country with a monthly consumption of 10.17 million litres. This figure, which was obtained on Friday from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation’s monthly petroleum industry report, also showed the South-West as coming next with 6.69 million litres. The North-West had the least monthly kerosene consumption with 80, 470 litres. The report, dated September 2014, put the kerosene consumption of the North-Central at 933,300 litres; South-East, 310,330 litres; North-East, 358,000 and Abuja, 30,710 litres. It gave the total petroleum product consumption mark as 94.4 million litres, comprising kerosene, diesel and super petrol, among others. The South-South states comprise Akwa-Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Edo and Rivers, with population figures of 3,902,051; 1,704,525; 2,892,988; 4,112,445; 3,233,366; and 5,198,716, respectively, according to the National Population Commission figure. The total population is put at 21,044,081, which is 12.37 per cent of the country’s population of 170 million. The South-South region is said to have consumed 35.36 million litres of petrol (super gasoline); 7.2 million litres of diesel; and 41.6 million litres of straight run gasoline for the period. According to the corporation, straight run gasoline is a product used for Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) blend, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (cooking gas) and atmospheric residue. The country is said to have consumed 276.878 million litres of petroleum products, with a breakdown of: 195.6 million litres of super gasoline; 18.57 million litres of household kerosene; 21.05 million litres of auto gas oil; and 41.6 million litres of SRG. According to the NNPC, the South-South also consumes a total of 92.71 million litres of super petrol and 1.28 million of diesel; making it a total petroleum consumption of 100.69 million litres. The South-East, North-West, North-East, North-Central and Abuja consumed 17.3 million litres, 9.9 million litres, 12.4 million litres, 27.38 million litres and 14.76 million litres of petroleum products, respectively. A past President of the Nigerian Association of Petroleum Explorationists, Dr. Afe Mayowa, in a telephone interview, said the nature of the South-South environment provided a slim choice for alternative energy, especially for cooking. According to him, unlike other regions in the country, the South-South does not have enough alternative energy sources like firewood. He said kerosene provided a reliable option as “anywhere and anytime, it could be relied upon to generate energy.” Nigeria is Africa’s biggest crude oil producer and largest holder of natural gas reserves on the continent, but the country still imports a very significant portion of petroleum products being consumed within the country, which is currently put at over 80 per cent. The unwarranted dependence on these imports cuts across products like petrol, kerosene, diesel and the LPG. The Pipelines and Product Marketing Company, an arm of the NNPC, was set up to market refined petroleum products in the domestic as well as export markets especially in West African sub-region, provide marine services and maintain uninterrupted movement of refined petroleum products from the local refineries. According to figures obtained from the PPMC[b], an average daily consumption for petrol in Nigeria is 40 million litres; diesel, 12 million litres; kerosene, 11 million litres; and LPG, 1.2 million litres.[/b] But Nigeria, according to the company, can only refine 5.10 million litres per day of PMS; three million litres per day of Automotive Gas Oil; 2.10 million litres of Dual Purpose Kerosene per day; and 0.34 million litres of LPG per day. With the statistics, Nigeria, on the average, is said to be importing 34.90 million litres per day of PMS; 9 million litres per day of AGO; 8.90 million litres per day of DPK; and 0.86 million litres per day of LPG. By implication, Nigeria is said to be importing 87.25 per cent of its PMS consumed per day; 75 per cent of its daily consumed AGO; 80.9 per cent of its DPK consumed per day; and 71.66 per cent of LPG used on a daily basis in the country. Considering the local refining statistics of the PPMC, Nigeria is said to be refining just 12.75 per cent of its PMS consumed per day; 25 per cent of its daily consumed AGO; 19.1 per cent of its DPK consumed per day; and 28.34 per cent of LPG used on a daily basis in the country. http://www.punchng.com/business/south-south-highest-kerosene-consumer-nnpc/ |
tonte:With is daftness, I won't be surprised if he earns jail. |
This house of GEJ is crumbling. I'm amazed at how a PhD holder can remain this daft after 6 years of being a President, with the exposure to the best intelligence and the chance to mingle with the best minds in the country. His case is incurable. OBJ realised this and started singing new tunes..... After imposing humongous cluelessness on us. |
obicentlis:Only myopic South Easterners and Nigerians will still. Support 6 years of waste. My only worry is what has Okonjo-Iweala been doing all these years that investors still view Nigeria negatively? |
Chai!!!! ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ |
hyfr: ![]() You amaze us on why you still support GEJ hence the attempt to shock you into reality with that post. At least you were shocked... Dunno if you were cured of your fantasia with a failed GEJ administration. ![]() |
Justcash:[b]Granted OBJ performed better in his 2nd term than in his first. But judging from the Nigeria he inherited from the Military, he performed better than GEJ. A few of them are: Buildup of goodwill to get Nigeria's debt forgiven and improving Nigeria's global image GSM licensing provision. Previous Gov'ts wouldn't for fear of losing grip on security OBJ boosted foreign reserves and cut down on corruption with EFCC. I know a lot of civil servants who complained how Baba wouldn't let them chop. OBJ performing better than GEJ in their first terms Is not even the issue. Overall, we think PDP has failed and needs to roll over. For all the goodwill GEJ got, for the highest oil price regime he led under, for the more progressive economy he inherited from Yar’Adua with militancy problem solved, GEJ is a failure. I can assure you if oil price had stayed stagnant at $60/ barrel through out GEJ's 6 years, there would have been a national revolt from how broke the country would have been. After an average of $90/ barrel of oil, the Gov't is broke immediately oil prices shifted low. With very scanty capital projects to show for it. Finally, even if we made a 'mistake' of not voting out OBJ after his first 4 years, we should not make the same mistake again. Otherwise Nigeria masses will never be taken seriously. Once beaten..... [/b] |
Justcash:All these are just excuses. We are not asking for OBJ to return so shelve all that comparison. If the dud you support cannot perform in 6 years because of those against him then is it in the next 4 years he will perform? NO. Those people you claim are against him are still there you know. Let him step down or be voted out so another person can try to first take out those people, take out corruption then attempt to develop Nigeria. |
hyfr:These 'backstabbers' are way more intelligent than you are ![]() Do you have anything close to stable electricity? Is there security in Nigeria as we speak? Even with the highest oil price regime under any Nigerian President, GEJ has the highest debt and lowest reserves amongst all PDP President's. Infact the first of the PDP President to have debt > reserves Are refineries working? Is the cabal still here with us in Nigeria? CBN asserts that 80% of youths are still unemployed in 2014. The highest level of oil bunkering in Nigeria's history is under GEJ. You need to ask yourself what are the key priorities of Nigeria. That's where you'll see the glaring failures of GEJ after 6 years. These failures are what you wish for yourself for another 4 years. |
Justcash:Did you read the link I provided to you? Do you have anything close to stable power? Is there security in Nigeria as we speak? Even with the highest oil price regime under any Nigerian President GEJ has the highest debt and lowest reserves amongst all PDP President's. Infact the first of the PDP President to have debt > reserves Are refineries working? Is the cabal still here with us in Nigeria? CBN asserts that 80% of youths are still unemployed in 2014.

That's where you'll see the glaring failures of GEJ after 6 years. |
Is this an attempt to subtly insult South Easterners? Virtually all who are worth their salt in most sectors of Nigeria public life have labelled GEJ as a failure...even the Ndi Igbos... Read https://www.nairaland.com/2086935/ndigbo-itll-silly-endorse-jonathan The implication of your assertion is that only the Ndi Igbo have failed to recognise a failure when they see one or are high on dry bonobo shite and decided to sink with GEJ's capsizing vessel. ![]() |
GEJ has relegated a huge campaign asset. This has more dramatic impact and may attract votes instead of reading IBB's coup full text. |
Most support for GEJ has come from people with tribalistic lean and those that have benefitted largely from the Corruption under his Gov't. Otherwise, even a bat can see that GEJ has failed after over 4 years in power. As we type, two states are no longer flying the Nigeria flag. My generator must be tired of me self. |
