Timzy234: Hahaha.... I'm 16 and nobody int heir right senses would pay a teen ager to write for them.
No wonder! A 16-year old is still a toddler and novice when Nigeria's political discuss is on the table. Apart from leaning the robe in conventional education, your IQ is still in the embryo stage and that alludes to why you're still under the tutelage of your parents and school teachers. However, avail yourself the luxury of the internet by googling Buhari's personal and political antecedents on your phone, I can assure you that his escapades will send jitters into your brain. What am I trying to bring across? Nobody, I repeat, nobody is afraid of Buhari. What gives Nigerians concerns about him is how Nigeria may return as a pariah stare if he returns as head of government. Buhari is a murderer, tribalist, fundamentalist (I know you'll want to dispute this, just take a short route of googling his numerous interviews and form your opinion), pretender, chameleon and above all, an uneducated tyrant. So, don't come here to preach the gospel of "fear", it exist only in your unconscious imagination.
Nelsonesq: The Presidential Campaign Organization Director of Media, Femi Fani-Kayode has been accused of "forging an email" in a bid to discredit Muhammadu Buhari's statement of result.
Last week, we published a story stating that the University of Cambridge had verified that Hausa was one of the examinations offered during the 1961 WASC. It will be remembered that the dispute on whether the subject was offered or not was one of the most controversial ones surrounding Buhari's credentials.
Today, Suraj Oyewale, a Chartered Accountant/blogger has accused Fani-Kayode of altering an email from Cambridge Assessment on the issue and sent false information to media houses in a bid to convince the electorate that Hausa Language was not an examination paper in 1961.
Oyewale said: “I was on my way to work on the morning of Monday, January 26, 2015, when my friend, Sodiq Alabi, sent me a Facebook message asking me how to contact THISDAY newspapers since I am more familiar with newspaper houses as a regular contributor to issues in national dailies."
“Sodiq included in the message a web link to an article in THISDAY newspaper with the title, “Cambridge University: Hausa Language Not Offered in 1961 Exams”. I opened the article to see these lines: The controversy over the secondary school results of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, continues as the University of Cambridge has said that Hausa Language, which is one of the subjects listed by Buhari, was not offered in its examinations in 1961.
The disclosure was contained a statement from the office of the Director of the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation claiming it came though an e-mail dated Thursday, January 22, 2015 from the institution’s Archives Delivery Service Officer, Jacky Emerson, to one SODIQ ALABI who requested for confirmation if the examination body offered Hausa Language in the 1961 West African Certificate Examination it organised.
Emerson, in his one-sentence reply, said: “According to the Regulations for 1961, African Language papers, including those for Hausa, WERE NOT included for West African School Certificate.” This development may have further cast doubts on the certificate which is purported to be General Buhari’s. He is yet to react to the assertion by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Organisation that the document (the published certificate) was forged and illegally procured.”
Oyewale stated that Sodiq was so jarred by the lies attributed to his name by Fani-Kayode and he was going to contact the THISDAY editor for "such wicked misrepresentation":
“Sodiq Alabi (sodiqalabi@hotmail.com) had written an email to Cambridge Assessment, the brand name of University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicates, on January 22, 2015, 13.31 hours, to confirm whether Hausa was truly offered by it in 1961 examinations.
“By 4.10pm same day, Jacky Emerson (archives@cambridgeassessment.org.uk), Archive Services Delivery officer of Cambridge Assessment, replied thus: ‘Dear Sodiq Alabi, According to the Regulations of 1961, African Language papers, WERE SET for West Africa School Certificate’.
“A screenshot of this email exchange was shared to us on Facebook by Sodiq and it went viral on the Internet. The email triggered other Nigerians to send emails to Cambridge Assessment for independent confirmation and the school came out with a release on its website the next day.
“In the release titled, ‘Statement in response to Nigerian Presidential election enquiries’, the school stated: ‘The organisation also confirmed that according to the Regulations for 1961, African Language papers, including those for Hausa WERE SET for the West African School Certificate.
“It is however surprising that Femi Fani-Kayode went ahead to alter the content of Sodiq’s email in his press statement to, ‘According to the Regulations for 1961, African Language papers, including those for Hausa, WERE NOT included for West African School Certificate’ and still quoted the email as the source. “It is very unfortunate that this is the man speaking for the president’s re-election campaign. How do we believe every other “fact” he has quoted has not been altered as well? It is a shame.
“It is also very unfortunate that our newspapers have gone to sleep and investigative journalism is at its lowest ebb in Nigeria. How will Femi Fani-Kayode not be feeding newspaper reporters with lies when he knows how lazy some of our journalists have become? This is not an advertorial that does not require independent confirmation; all THISDAY and Daily Post that reported this Fani-Kayode’s glaring lie need to do is to seek out Sodiq or confirm from Cambridge – which had posted a confirmation statement on conduct of Hausa language in 1961 WASC on its website since January 23, two days before Fani-Kayode came up with this lie – and ask for their side of the story.
“It is particularly curious that I had, in an earlier article sent to THISDAY which was published in its January 25 edition, attached a screenshot of the email from Sodiq to buttress some other arguments. So THISDAY editors, at least their OP-ED editor, could not have claimed not to have seen the original content of Sodiq’s email before Fani-Kayode’s alteration.
“This is not the first time President Jonathan’s men are forging or altering documents to demonize anyone perceived as the president’s ‘enemy’. His new media assistant, Reno Omokri, was also busted in February last year, when he hid under a pseudonym, Wendel Simlin, to send false but damaging reports to newspapers to demonize the then just suspended Governor Lamido Sanusi of Central Bank. A dig into the source of the computer used in typing the document showed it was a certain Reno Omokri that authored it! How lowly can people get? Efforts to get Fani-Kayode’s response to the allegation had yielded no result at the time of going to press, as calls to his phone were neither answered nor returned. He also did not reply a text message to his phone
The caption of your post has just sold you out! A pathetic liar, that's who you are.
chychyobbi: I was just going through comments on Buhari's daughter defending her Dad in the ongoing certificate controversy and some comments caught my eyes..lol..Some Nigeria though, they easily see mistake,, see some comments below hehe!
Hawtie! January 26, 2015 at 4:50 pm SO Buhari’s daughter cannot spell Fourth. So the new spelling is now Forth. That is how little children would be dabbling into affairs that are bigger than them. Before You come out to defend your Father’s honour, please have your PR team run a spell check. If their Children cant spell after all the money they spent schooling them, then what hope is there for our Educational sector. Say no to Almajirism Biko.
Jane Public January 26, 2015 at 5:36 pm I thought I was the only one that saw that. Forth ke, biko. Daddy no go school, pikin too can’t spell?
Jane Public January 26, 2015 at 5:35 pm an intelligent person typed fourth as forth. What were you saying again about glass houses. I guess make up, nice clothes and professionally taken photographs, can make one look intelligent. Do you realise how superficial you sound.
sum1special January 26, 2015 at 3:20 pm Our dear beautiful daughter of Buhari, certificate is one of the qualifications of being an aspiring president of our great country Nigeria…Please just dont talk about it before people finish you..Just respect yourself and remain on the silent lane you have been ok.
Her spelling blunder is not my major concern but the arrogant and unrunrepentant postures of that bloodthirsty family. Buhari and his siblings are supposed to place themselves on 60-day dry fasting to atone for hundreds of Nigerians killed because of the General's wild goose chase for power. Some people are just unexplainably satanic.
barcanista: Zahra, you have tweeted the minds of all Nigerians. The PDP Members are wasting their time and resources chasing shadows.
No. She has tweeted your mind and that of your family. If certificate is not an issue, why is she striving for education? Shameless father, shameless daughter. The silly girl should advise her demonic father to stop killing corpers and other Nigerians for the sake of power. In a civilised clime, Buhari and his entire family should be in jail.
Redoil: their some people in nairaland who are hell bent in frustrating people in nairaland. These people are cyber expert who will dig up every thing about and start threatining you and ur family member. They did that to my first user name and a lot of people in nairaland back then publishing the names and addresses of loved ones. Complaining to the mods then was like talking to a stone wall i was left with no choice than to deactivate it. And open this present username. Such things were mostly done to whoever is in full support of gej. Besides haven't you notice that sincerenigera deactivated her account only for another person to quickly registerd it and use it to always insult and attack gej?
That's not true. Datolee was a down-to-earth and straight-forward fellow who tried as much as possible to take Barcanista and other APC e-warriours to the cleaners. I really dolf my hat and salute his thoroughness and detailed analysis.

The same thing applies to me. I discovered there has been attempts on my privacy but no matter what, nobody can force me to change my opinions on national issues, political or otherwise. I consider all things from different angles before making my premise. No monetary consideration or intimidation can silence my stands in ensuring egalitarian and peaceful Nigeria. Shallom to all Nairalanders.
decode55: Since time immemorial, apc e-rats on this forum have been calling our president "weak"; labeling him with all sorts of derogatory names like _Retardeen, _slowpoke, _Clueless & all what not.
Now he has flexed his "Presidential biceps", y'all are comparing him to Idi Amin.
Monimatic: The Rivers State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, has said that contrary to President Goodluck Jonathan’s claim, the President is not interested in a free and fair election.
Amaechi, who was reacting to soldiers’ occupation of the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium ahead of the Jonathan’s political campaign in the state on Wednesday, said the action of the President was an indication that he (Jonathan) was opposed to democratic norms.
The governor, who spoke in Government House in Port Harcourt on Sunday, explained that it was wrong for President Jonathan to order soldiers to take over the state-owned stadium, even when approval was not given by the state government.
He argued that a President should have respected the position of the state government in an ideal federation, particularly after telling the Peoples Democratic Party to use the Liberation Stadium.
Amaechi said, “Why is the President insisting on using the Adokiye Amiesamaka Stadium after we have told the PDP that work is currently going on there? It is unfortunate that the President is preaching one thing and doing another thing.
“If the President is truly interested in the conduct of a free and fair election, why did he order armed soldiers to forcefully take over a state government-owned facility when it was not given to him or the PDP?
“Why should a President elected in a democratic election, serving under a democratic dispensation order soldiers to take over a state-owned stadium? In an ideal federation, the President is supposed to respect our position, essentially after we asked them to use the Liberation Stadium at Elekahia, in Port Harcourt City.”
In a related development, the state PDP Chairman, Mr. Felix Obuah, confirmed the party’s readiness to use the Adokiye Amiesamaka Stadium on Wednesday.
Obuah said in a statement signed by his Special Adviser, Media, Mr. Jerry Needam, that the reason given by Amaechi on why he refused the party’s request to use the stadium was unacceptable.
The state PDP chairman argued that the stadium was built with state funds, maintaining that the facility was only conceptualised when Amaechi was a member of the PDP.
He, however, challenged the governor to name any capital project that he implemented since he defected to the APC in November 2013.
Obuah told members and supporters of the PDP to turn out in their large number to welcome the presidential campaign train in continuation of President Jonathan’s bid to earn a second term.
Sorry Mr. Tout-Governor, you're the one that really disrespected and messed up yourself. It's a dangerous precedence if your excesses are not curtailed. You have proved to be grossly unreliable and deceitful. Thank God you will be completely useless after Feb 14, 2015 when Jonathan starts his second term.
Retaliate against who? Anyway, I don't believe the news is true but if it's, then Buhari is in bigger trouble! The same way they kill fellow northerners through Boko haram and heap the blame on Jonathan for been unable to secure the land so that APC can take over governance is what's likely playing out. They must have killed the the man to cover up their certificate scam. As said earlier let's believe the news is not true. All fingers crossed.
It's not unexpected. Many of Nigerian past military Generals including possibly IBB are drop-outs (insults unintended but that's the truth). So, if we all agree that birds of identical plumage flock together, IBB's subtle view on GMB's shameful certificate brouhaha should not come to us as a surprise. In a civilised and professionally regimented military climes, many of the socalled Generals are supposed to be baby-seaters or crude farmers. IBB should keep quite instead of reopening old wounds on crimes he committed against humanity. While his twin-brother in evil (GMB)truncated the then Nigerian nascent democracy in 1983, he(IBB) annuled the freest and fairest election in our polical history in 1993. They are still talking today simply because Nigeria is a nation that has acute memory loss syndrome.
So after Buhari assaulted and insullted Nigerians between 1983-1985,will you will still blindly vote him as president ?
Fela Anikulapo Kuti must have been a prophet in his own right. He obviously saw what even the most intellectual Nigerians did not see. Fela must have felt the impulse and aura of deceit, sycophancy, devisiveness, extremisim, bigotry, double-sidedness and tribalisim which are now manifesting glaringly in the life of Buhari and that must have infomed the composition of that song. How could someone who put southerners in jail but confined his tribesmen to comfortable "house arrest" be seen and celeberated as a genuine enforcer of discipline? How could someone who killed Nigerians when the offences they committed attracted mere prison sentences be said to be a disciplinarian? Buhari has been taking Nigerians for a ride from time immemorial and it must not continue beyond Feb 14, 2015. The same token goes with former NADECO members many of whom are now in APC. We were equally given the wrong impression that they were harbingers of democracy but their actions, utternaces and misdemeanors in government have now proved otherwise. Nigerians should open thier eyes.
juntod: Nigerian politicians are all the same. Shameless Liars.
Hit LIKE if you support neither GEJ nor GMB.
That's why I dislike that party. It's a confraternity of dubious, unstable, double-mouthed, deceitful and oppressive conmen. If any of them says "good morning", one needs to check the time if it's truly a morning. Fraudsters who accuse others of fraud. Master riggers who cry foul of rigging. Oppressors who promise to liberate people from oppression. People who increase tuition fee from N25,000 to N350,000 but fool Nigerians on provision of free education. People who employ 20,000 graduates and place them on irregular monthly salary of N10,000 but promise to employ 3million Nigerians when voted into power. People whose states are indebted to the tune of N160billion without commensurate development but claim to be better than the sitting president. People whose party leader was under prosecution for certificate and age forgery but constantly blame the ruling party for corruption. People who criticise the president for proscribing Boko haram, blame the president for killing northerners but use insecurity as campaign tool...Nigeria is as good as dead if APC wins the presidency but it WILL NEVER happen.
bullabong: Are you not tired of weeping for your level of poverty under Gej Then please weep on till febuhari 14 when GMB wipes ur wretched life of tears
If you are waiting for any leader to eradicate poverty from your live, then you are dillusional. Pray to God to make a way for you instead of leaning on mortals. Ok?
MalcoImX: Halima Buhari Sheriff, daughter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari has assured that her father, if voted president, will right the wrongs facing Nigeria presently. Halima who spoke exclusively with YNaija.com while on the APC nationwide campaign trail said the ex-general “will get Nigeria out of the mess it’s in.” | Read excepts of the interview below: YNaija: What kind of dad is Gen. Buhari? Halima: He’s like every normal father, he is very realistic and he likes cracking jokes. He is very caring and also very sensitive to our feeling and you know – how we feel about a thing. He doesn’t coerce us to do anything we don’t want to do. He is a very understanding dad unlike the image of him people have externally. People say he’s a very stern, strict person but in all, he has a very soft side. YNaija: Do you have any children? I have a 7-year-old daughter, Aisha. That’s his grand daughter. YNaija: And what’s she like with her? Aw, he calls her Laraba which means Wednesday in Hausa and it’s considered a very lucky day. I had her like in the very early hours of the day so he just said, “Oh! her name is Laraba !” and he continued calling her that. He’s very caring towards his grandchildren. He plays a lot with them. He’s fond of them – gives them all sorts of funny traditional nicknames…. YNaija: So he’s running for president, can you tell us, as his daughter, what kind of president do you think he is going to be? Well, firstly, because this is a different era, it’s not 1983, not the military regime, it’s a civilian regime, a democratic regime, he will certainly be more tolerant and passionate about leading Nigeria. He’ll get Nigeria out of the mess it’s in – be it corruption, insecurity -which is making thousands of Nigerian lose their lives. It is affecting everybody in one way or the other, this is something he’s very passionate about. He will make sure he gets the job done. | http://ynaija.com/exclusive-my-dad-will-get-the-job-done-buharis-daughter-halima-speaks-to-ynaija/
You better talk to your papa to go and rest so that his grand childeren can go to school. One of the things I hate most is seeing father and daughter weep together, truly I hate such a scene but with the way things are going, GMB and Halima will wail again. I really pity that family.
redcliff: Even obanikoro stands a greater chance yo ein lagos than jimi agbaje.. truth be told and accepted.. agbaje is going no where... pdp would never have lagos
Feb 28 beckons, we shall see. But don't forget to quote me when Agbaje wins Lagos
NgeneUkwenu: Boys Aged 7-10 hired to carry placards Jonathan we hail you!!
Wicked soul. When will you and your mentor Lai Mohammed stop evil lies? If despite fear of insurgency people can still risk their lives to flood the stadium, can't you see light? APC paid agents and compromised newspapers said PDP cannot campaign in Borno,Yobe, Kano and other northern states, they tried to paint gloomy pictures to Nigerians but what we are seeing today says otherwise. GMB, your cry will be massive like this crowd on Feb 14, 2015.
Honestly, I am flabbergasted! Is this Borno where APC said Jonathan is persona non grata? Anybody still doubting that GEJ will win next month's election hands down must be on a loooooong thing. This is marvelous to see.
charlesamos123: This is the the President of the people, look at the croud
Honestly, I am flabbergasted! Is this Borno where APC said Jonathan is persona non grata? Anybody still doubting that GEJ will win next month's election hands down must be on a lonnnnnnng thing. This is marvelous to see.
Freelancer00: What makes u so confident? I'll like to know
So many factors allude to it. From Fashola's elitist rule to oppression of common man(artisans, motorists, okada riders, people whose houses were demolished with little or no compensation, traders whose wares were carted away by overzealous and corrupt officials, taxation burden, unwarranted toll fees just to mention but few). In addition to those factors, Tinubu has lost or he's gradually loosing his cult figure in Lagos and most of Southwest states. Do you want to hear this also? Lagos state Voters register has been sanitised and pruned from 6.5 million to about 5.8 million and that further limits the propensity for rigging( l am sure you know what I mean), it's now one man-one vote.
Great news. The president's civility and gentleness should not be taken for granted by that irresponsible governor. Let him appear in the stadium the way he invaded the state house of assembly the other time, he will know there's a difference between godogodo (stern looking soldiers) and policemen. Tout-governor.
[quote author=idumuose post=30087470][/quote]OP, without prejudice or sentiment, I am 95% confident that Jimi Agbaje is the next Governor of Lagos and I want APC e-warrious to quote me after Feb 28. I am pretty sure.
A political group, Defenders Of Democracy placed this advert on The Nations newspapers, saying he should stop comparing himself to the likes of Barack Obama, Nelson Mandela, Lee Kwan Yew and Marting Luther King, that he belongs to the likes of Idi Amin, Mobutu Sese Seko, Robert Mugabe.
When will all these end? Why attack each other with expensive newspaper adverts. Our politicians should just stop behaving like children.
I am sure the advert is a direct response to Fayose's own but no qualms, APC will surrender finally. By the time they are pounded left and right by Olisah Metu, Lai Mohammed will cry to the UN for help.
okoro4: Nollywood Yoruba celebrities like Odunlade Adekola, Femi Adebayo,Fathia Balogun Williams, Oga Bello,Fausat Balogun aka Madam Saje, Yinka Quadri,Shola Sobowale , Olaniyi Afonja (Sanyeri), and others have joined the race to campaign for Gen. Buhari and his running mate Osinbajo.
The celebrities organised a rally to show their support for Gen. Buhari and his running mate Osinbajo.
“Dear compatriots, there are dark clouds gathering,but I remain optimistic that they will yield to a glorious dawn. The promise of Nigeria is greater than the ambition of one man or a political party.
Femi Adebayo reshared what Gov. Fashola told supporters on social media..
"Beyond the campaign of the APC for change, there is already a momentum of the Nigerian people for change that is far ahead of our campaign. This is the people’s desire, nothing can stop it. The dictates of honour demand that no right thinking person should attempt to resist it. May God bless and prosper Nigeria. Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN”.
MalcoImX: Those who bought out a forged medical records and proclaim cancer and death on others are the deceitful ones. They are behind this useless issue, which would easily be solved by going to court, but they won't, knowing fully they don't have a case.
I am surprised there's still someone like you in Nigeria who's not aware that all courts are shut down.
