Op no vez...I wan no weda una don sack joe igbokwe already if not abeg make una hurry up..no time.

LRNZH:
Going by your logic, GEJ has visited Onitsha hence should not stopover in Awka in his Anambra State campaign rounds.

Did he campaign in Awka.?I have not seen him campaign in two cities under one state before.

TA Orji hosted Gej at Umuahia because he knows Aba people will disgrace him.Aba have no hard feelings for Gej.....believe that!

doctokwus:
Ghen ghen!D op better pray this is not true because it wud just nail gej's coffin here on nland.

this got nothing to do with Gej abi na Gej send him to post those pics?

Those pictures are not second Niger bridge.infact it has been in circulation since last year and it has been proven to be fake.
in as much as I support Gej second term bid,I will not support any misleading information to the public.

Pastor Adeboye is a smart man of God...
playing safe is what's best for business.

Imagine if jimi has no certificate like buhari who is 73 without certificate....apc una well done oh .

He he he he...if a man at 58 can't pick his phone at night definitely a man at 73 won't know when it's day break.if Jimmy is too old to govern lagos state then buhari should be at old people's home.
what fashola is saying is that GMB is damn too old to even contest presidential election.

MOHAMMADU BUHARI APC presidential candidate’s life, education, career, and vintage pictures

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. PDP SHOULD GO TO COURT AFTER THEY LOSE THE 2015 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, NIGERIANS SHALL MEET THE CORRUPT GANGS LOOTING OUR TREASURY FOR OVER 15 YEARS THERE.

Abeg na buhari effigy be this?

He will pick himself up after 2 years of weeping and try again in 2019 @ 77.

Sibabasibaba1:
I grew up in Aba in its glory days. I was born there and I lived there for 22 years until I left for my NYSC. OP, I do not know how old you are. But if you were up to seven years when Buhari sacked Mbakwe as the governor of the old Imo State and brought Ike Nwachukwu to superintend over us, you would know that it was that day that the rot, in not just Aba but in the whole of the old Imo.

Hold Buhari responsible. He derailed our march ti glory.

you are on point nwanne.the sacking of mbakwe by buhari was the beginning of our problems till date.we need another mbakwe to get it right again.

Barcanista is ijawcitizen.he rested his ijawcitizen handle when he was recruited as a PPP(pay per post) agent by apc.his mission is to mislead people and cause confusion between igbo and ijaw in a any thread that seems to promote ijaw/igbo/Eastern unity.actually he is not even from eastern region....the guy is a yoruba guy..an ijaw man who gets angry that igbos are supporting Gej......lol

Buhari dey hustle for votes

patmaine:
U 're a disgusting fellow

what do you expect from ikwere man?they are indeed disgusting.

If apc had chosen amaechi as their vp candidate he would not only reclaim his igbo roots he will sing and dance in igbo.useless people.
let his ikwerre people warm him not to disgrace them any further.when ever they are tired or fade up of being a minority,they knows what to do.
for now enjoy your oyel while it last.

laimo:
A failed sitting president insulting his elders is smoking hot?
Talk about legendary cluelessness.

if elders mess around with little kids they will reward him with insults.mean while respect is reciprocal.

LordMecuzy:
Lol no P bro. I'm here.

its well.

LordMecuzy:
Ndigbo? or You. pls all man to himself jare.

wait until election day boy.

barcanista:
Okay... There is nothing they (Ohanaeze) can do about it. Mbaka commands more followership than Ohanaeze

Ndigbo will not join the gang up against Gej mbaka or no mbaka.you can take that to the bank.

Unfortunately GMB have no certificate to show.he simply can not show what he doesn't have that is the reason his team is reminding us that he was a general and former head of state instead of providing his certificates to inec as required by law.

Trust no one but God alone for men disappoints from time to time.mbaka have disappointed so many.

oziegbe2015:
The simple truth weither you like it or not is because he isnt a pretender that plays to the gallery. He is plain and blunt without changing himself and pretend. Gej went to daddy g.O and bowed down, gmb wouldnt do that because he wants to pretend. Do u knw that we christians dont even know what the true way worship to God is done. Take the hebrew who are Gods people their men wear a prayer shawl or a cap to cover their head in God presence

If he is not a pretender what is his business in the church?he shouldn't have been there in the first place.

olajide8:
TAH- everybody is talking, the offspring of a baby factory is talking- who are you? common sense you no get! This is, to show how expensive it is, where you come from- lineage of ESAU, selling their birthright for a plate of pottage- a shame to human creation, you where the ones God saw and asked why he created man- NONSENSE!!!! Tufiakwa- if you feed full from ethnic bigotry, that's your cup of tea, keep it to yourself- Nigeria will never divide because of your likes, when it is time, we would all go our separate ways, but definitely not because of your likes, ASARI your brother, Okupe twin brother and fani kayode's inlaw- USELESS.....

sorry for quoting a madman.

All I can say is, our God the Lord of host is not a god of confusion who changes his mind like mortals.if mbaka's prophecy is of Holly spirit everything he said concerning Gej will surely come to pass.
