What about the UK?

Yes, I know that both Wole Soyinka and Chinua Achebe do not have PhD degrees. But that was many years ago when Nigeria was undeveloped and when anything goes. Moreover, that was in Literature studies, not a relatively more intellectually tasking discipline such as Law. In contrast, Yemi is a much younger person compared to Wole and Achebe, and all his peers who are professors have PhDs. Can you mention any Nigerian professor of Yemi's age without a PhD?

The way we allowed the disgraceful OBJ to complete 2 terms is the way we must allow GEJ finish his


On political equity and equality we stand on


Say No To Political Slavery

alphaconde:
yes he does meanwhile APC loosing lagos and rivers

Akshow:
first and foremost, gej visited several APC States and was not stoned. Katsina and Bauchi are PDP states under PDP governments.

If anything happens to gej (God forbid) nothing u and ur kinds will do. Nigeria will be ruled by an efficient and capable leader that will put u in ur place, not like ur mumu kinsman that has failed woefully in curbing insurgents.


As for Nigeria being a property of hausas and Yorubas. Who clamoured and protested for the clueless fisherman to be sworn in when Turai was busy playing ping pong with him? Wole Soyinka led d protest. Where were d asaris and tompolos?


If not that u are shallow and an ingrate....didn't the yorubas vote enmass for d otuoke baboon in d last election? indeed even some Hausa voted for him.


so in ur silly and myopic reasoning, because he is a Niger deltan is enough reason to make him continue ruling even when all indices points to the fact that he is incapable and just riding on d good luck that put him to power.

BlackTechnology:
Don't go around throwing stones at GEJ and expect his kinsmen to keep quiet


If anything happens to GEJ, even you won't be spared.


Nigeria is not the personal property of Hausa Fulani Yoruba people

Nigeria must be rebuild on the foundation of ethnic equality and equity



If quota system is applied in admission into schools and federal jobs/appointments to give unqualified Northerners a say,

[size=13pt]We must apply quota system in ensuring that ethnic groups of few thousands are allowed to RULE Nigeria[/size]


What is good for A is also good for B

Say No To Internal colonialism

Say No To Political Slavery

Say No To Born To Rule


Hypocrisy must not be allowed to thrive

[size=13pt]Jonathan has already been allowed to rule for 5 years. A period in which he failed woefully and disgraced not only his kinsmen, but all well meaning compos-mentis indigenes of Southern Nigeria. Must he rule for 9 years before you agree he has been allowed to rule?

Must we sit back and watch the nation completely flushed down the drain in the ninth year before we accept that a minority has been allowed to rule? [/size]

If you can remember,it was the present campaign manager of your great party that was screaming that the excess crude account should be shared today he is playing saint in the opposition,i pity Nigeria and Nigerians

sammhi:
I will comment on the ones I know... Benin- ore road..so it was done and during yardua era...diezani as minister of transport went there and cried due to the deplorable state of the road...haba ..this hatred and pure distortion of facts is appalling..na wa o ..maybe some of you don't even know where it is ..
if OBJ had done well, then we wont be in this mess. Never?... he forced yardua on us and caused these crisis of today...knowing fully well that he is a very sick man...please park well
so now GEJ has achievements credited to him ( even though you claimed all weret awarded by OBJ) ...OK gud then he didn't cancel them. he completed them..yeye people

sammhi:
I disagree sir...Soludo is entitled to his opinions and they are not necessarily sacrosanct....if Nigeria being biggest economy is not due to GEJ it is due to who? SOLUDO or you ? please lets stop sentiments...
lets reverse this : if the economy has been said to be the last in Africa. ...You would have celebrated that and hung GEJ on it ..wont you? head or tail , from you and your GEJ hater , he loses.! your disdain for GEJ is appalling and makes neutrals like us to side him and dispels these hatred clouding your reasoning
talk is cheap...and to critics is easy ....he was CBN governor and we know the mess he left the banks before sanusi came on board
one thing is clear: what comes around goes around...GEJ may not be perfect but far still better than the one still searching if he had waec cert or not ..only in naija..enough of the hatred

youngalex:
I must commend Prof.Charles Soludo for such an exceptional epistle,i beg to differ in his submission on his overall assessment of the regime of Pres.GEJ,significant milestones were recorded in areas of agriculture,power and road construction and to say that the economic team is weak is quite degrading....The present economic team is and will remain the greatest convergence of great minds and achievers in various fields of endeavour.
What the professor did not tell us;
1) It was in the same regime he served that over 2 trillion Naira was spent on power without any considerable improvement
Are you aware that GEJ did not start ANY SINGLE power project?... Every single power project which you hail GEJ for commisioning is a part of that same 2 trillion which OBJ spent.

2) The Benin-Ore road was for close to a decade the worst nightmare for travellers
Contracts for the Benin -Ore road were awarded in OBJ's tenure and yes, some portions were fixed. But unlike GEJ, OBJ did not jump around to the media to celebrate the completion of a tiny portion of the road that was fixed like GEJ and his supporters are doing presently. For the past 10 years, works have been ongoing on that road and the works have still not been completed as we speak; Yes!.. there are still many sections of the same Benin-Ore road which are a nightmare to pass so I don't understand the basis of this grand deceit and celebrations that Goodluck fixed the road

3) Millions of dollars were spent on TAM(Turn Around Maintenance) of Refineries without any justification for a satisfactory work done
The same TAM you talk of in OBJ's time, that is the reason why the refineries we have in Nigeria today are functioning, albeit at a fraction of their capacities because successive administrations did not follow up. Jonathan has not spent any money on those refineries (proof me wrong). I just cannot understaand the grand deceit being sold out to Nigerians by the Jonathan team that OBJ was a devil and GEJ is a god. Most of the things working in the country today in GEJ's regime were things initiated and funded since OBJ's regime. This is inclusive of the reforms in the agric sector which was started by OBJ, it also includes the Abuja to Kaduna world class standard rail which has just been completed under Jonathan; Yes! it was started by OBJ and the contract was signed by OBJ.

4) Elections were manipulated and massive electoral fraud committed to favour the anointed candidate of the then president.
A typical insight into the kind of elections we are currently having and that we would have under Jonathan is the governor's forum election where Nigerians were told openly that 16 is greater than 19. Forget about the 2011 elections, in that exercise, it was going to be a clear win for Jonathan because he enjoyed massive goodwill from Nigerians all over hence that election cannot really be used as a yardstick to measure GEJ's performance at conducting elections. February elections will expose the true colours of GEJ in conducting elections.

5) Huge funds were disbursed for the third term agenda which was truncated by our distinguished parliamentariansYou talk of the huge funds spent by OBJ to secure a third term, have you ever asked yourelf what happened to the entire excess crude account which OBJ saved for the future generation?.... Yes your god Jonathan in 2010 squandered the billions of dollars in that account down to zero all in a bid to bribe the governors to support his election ambition in 2011. GEJ is also plundering our foreign reserves in his careless desperation to cling to power beyond 2015. Do you really think it is normal that no major capital projects are ongoing yet our foreign reserve keeps falling at an unbelievable speed?

The List is Endless.... $150m halliburton scandal,Privatization Scandal,National I.D Card Scam,Oil revenue diversion by the then minister of pertoleum and incumbent president(Now APC Saint)
Let us not even talk about the biggest government fraud on the planet; the unremitted $50billion by NNPC which after frantic efforts following the whistle blown by the then CBN governor, he lost his job and up till date, the entire apparatus of government cannot still account for over $10billion of this funds
..you can add yours

ABUJA- PRESIDENTIAL Campaign Organisation, PCO of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Monday described former Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Professor Charles Soludo as a confused Nigerian and one who has lost touch with reality.

According to the Campaign Organisation, President Goodluck Jonathan will not only run next month, but would win the polls.

Responding to attack on President Goodluck Jonathan by Soludo that he should stop campaigning as he has no testimonial to parade, Director, Media and Publicity of PDP Campaign Organisation, Chief Femi Fani- Kayode in a statement to Vanguard, Monday noted that the former head of the nation’s apex bank may no longer understand what were on ground having spent much time with those in the camp of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Fani-Kayode said, “I read Charles Soludu’s contribution to the debate with amusement. I will be gentle with him because I have a soft spot for him. He has criticised the President, his government and his handling of the economy.

“Meanwhile Nigeria has just won the prestigious award of being designated as the largest economy in Africa and this has happened under the watch of President Goodluck Jonathan and no-one else. Should any right-thinking person who has the nation’s interest at heart be complaining about that? Needless to say my friend and brother Charles Soludo is confused and conflicted. He seems to have lost touch with reality and this is what often happens when you spend too much time with the Buharists.



“The truth is that Soludo is far too educated, civilised and advanced to be in the opposition. He belongs to the modern age and not the dark ages. I pray that sooner than later he comes to his senses and he sees the light. One thousand Muhammadu Buhari’s cannot match one Goodluck Jonathan in terms of tolerance, compassion, performance or output. Buhari cannot even begin to understand the complex nature of the economy or the immense problems that we are facing in this country whilst Jonathan not only understands them but is also making a gallant effort at solving them.

“I respect Charles Soludo immensely but I believe that he got it quite wrong here. He is in error and he needs to sit up, reconsider his views and review his unsavoury and disrespectful contribution.

“To say that the President should not run in this election and that he should throw in the towel is absurd and self-depreciating. It is a manifestation of the morbid fear of failure and defeat that the leaders of the opposition are all suffering from. Whether Soludo and his friends like it or not, not only will President Goodluck Jonathan run in this election, but he will also win and he will do so convincingly. ”

i don't need to waste my time on this rubbish. i have what i'm doing. ok.

this is fake. try another thing.

CHM11:
When Senator Ahmed Sani Yerima justified marriage of underage Children to much Older men, the entire country went overboard and labeled him a paedophile.
I'm sure not many know that General Muhammadu Buhari is also a strong believer of the Sharia system and in the same vain, a strong believer of marrying out children to much older men.

Some will say this is a non issue, but its good we know in totality the people we are placing our affairs in their hands.

A research says that Aisha Buhari is 35 years old and got married to General Muhamadu Buhari in the year 1989 after divorcing his first wife for allegedly collecting welfare money from Babagida while he was in Prison.

Aisha Buhari was born in 1979, which means in 1989 she was barely 9/10 years old when she was married of to our dear general.

Their marriage is Blessed with 5 children and grand children. If at 35 she has grand children, I can only but ask: AT WHAT AGE WAS SHE WHEN GMB STARTED HAVING CARNAL KNOWLEDGE OF HER, JUDGING FROM THE AGE OF THEIR FIRST CHILD, MRS AISHA BUHARI WOULD HAVE BEEN NOTHING MORE THAN 12 YEARS OLD WHEN GENERAL MUHAMMADU BUHARI GOT HER PREGNANT.

I wouldn't want an army general on my 12 year old daughter though!!!!!



As for me, Jonathan is not the best we can get, but a careful and critical look at Buhari will tell us we are going back a hundred years and USMAN DAN FODIO will be smiling in his grave and mocking the entire southern Nigeria.

Idleness must be killing this guy.
When He should be drawing for money He's here obsessively darwing for nothing

moderatorr:
Ok, but thats after you have accepted that the purported statement of result is not the certificate INEC asked for and is fake too because You don't put on caps in passports.

moderatorr:
You dont were caps in passports. Its fake. And different from what the military submitted. How could he get A1 in igbo and C in hausa?

babadee1:
The original 1961 certificate was lost. Many people who finished school decades after Buhari have lost their original certificates.
When you lose your original certificate you can apply to your school for a statement of results which will be issued on current letterhead paper according to current guidelines. The photo on the statement of results is recent because it is required by the school for a new statement of result to be issued. This statement of result was issued yesterday January 21, 2015 not in 1961.

I hope this has helped those people still confused by this recent development.
