Unfortunately for people like you, he satisfied INEC's requirements and certificate is not even required by the Nigerian constitution, INEC is not complaining and INEC can not and wont disqualify him so exactly what are you troubling and killing yourself over...


You people really need to get a life....

The issue has never been whether GMB is qualified to run or not. Of course he is qualified.

The question is, will you support a person of shady character to drive you through a dangerous road?

GMB's handling of the certificate matter proves he's not the change Nigeria is looking for.

Obviously, he went into the army without wasc, a basic requirement. A product of favouritism and corruption cannot transform Nigeria.

Add all I said above to his past records in office and I will be surprised that educated Nigerians are still in support. We deserve the leaders we get. Truly.

lorddannie:
APC touts and thugs are fighting hard to justify illegality, criminality, perjury and impunity.

They want to force on us, an old senile, dictator, extremism, corrupt, partial, sick and semi-illiterate liar on Nigerians.

It's unbelievable to think that some one would finish both primary and secondary schools as at 1961 in nine years; a public school for that matter!

He also offered Hausa Language at Cambridge/WASC in 1961, while WEAC introduced such in the 70s

No one can refute that APC is for CHANGE.

The events of the past recent weeks have shown us the exact type of CHANGE.

I thank God for the expose`

Frankenstein:
I think Buhari didn't finish secondary school education and got into the Nigerian army through 'quota system'.

That is the long and short of it!!!

kilakhan:
Correct me if I am wrong but I thought it was WAEC that issues WAEC/WASC results. WAEC has been conducting entrance exams since the 50's. Buhari supposedly wrote this exam in 1961. If in all honesty he did write it what does it take to go to WAEC office in Yaba and get the original WAEC results?
Lets be honest to ourselves. This is the first time in my life I have seen a State Ministry of Education issue a WAEC certificate! The State Ministry has nothing to do with the conduct of WAEC exams or giving out certificates. That piece of paper is worth nothing!

Point!

Supporters of APC on this forum have shown their true colour. Progressives indeed!

chiemecel:
This is high level of deceit and fraud,1961 copy with computer works on it.My friend look for old typewriter machine and do a better job so that we can believe you

Hahahahahaha

Dexema:
I would wanna agree with your point,but situations that bring the south together as a unit are very rare (eg) GEJ in 2011 and I'm beginning to think we blew that chance @ building trust and working together.

I agree with you. Completely.

I objected to ur earlier position that it is religion.

Yes, it is important that the south begin to have more reasons to come together. That's the only hope for our country

Dexema:
The south was never united in the first instance.
Even culturally check out the amount of ethnic groups,different languages and lifestyle principles that exist in the region.The only binding force in the south is religion which is not even strong enough in a land of very “opinionated“ people.

The only binding force in the south is not religion. It is a collective desire for progress and modernisation.

The core north has been indoctrinated differently, unfortunately:

Things like 7 virgins, almajiri culture, "ba kwomi" belief system (i.e. Fatalism) operating under their system of theocracy are docrines used by the norther elites

kingthreat:
Sorry but your conclusion is biased. Give GMB a chance first before predicting him

Pls pick out the bias.

Has GMB not ruled before?

Why do employers seek past work experience and records? Is it not to attempt to predict a prospective employees future action and performance?

Gej is being judged by his records in rulership of the country. Luckily, GMB is not a new hand at that. We have seen his hand.

So what will make anybody estimate or hope anew? Has anything changed in him?

segnys007:
you are not a tribalist, yet it's painful for you to see southerners supporting Buhari! What forces working against the south? what about the forces working against Nigeria? You think there would be a Nigeria if the north is not there? Quit it with all this sentimental c r a p! and nobody say Jona should be perfect, he should just be the best president he could be. the whole Nigeria will judge if he has done well, not just the south! unless you are saying the south alone made him the president in 2011, in that case the south should do it again.

If he should be a tribalist, please be ready to called an ostrich (hiding your head in sand) no ready to see the danger lurking right with you.

Lamido has exposed that the North is today declaring another "Araba" (research that), and you are deceiving us.

APC should stand up and address the issue raised by Lamido, the fact that Nigerians in the North are not allowed freedom to make their political choices. Is that democratic? Is that how to win all election?

It is a very serious issue, dear.

The North is at it again and it is just unfortunate that APC is being used as a cloak to cover a demon that will soon burst out as a horrendous monster.

APC may be keeping quiet now, hoping to benefit from the situation but, Lamido was right, it will backfire!

gratiaeo:
You are foolish Igbo

Very foolish indeed!

Anybody who does not know that there is a norther part of Nigeria and Souther part has not started.

The two regions operate differently, are different stages of development and develop at different rates. North has always been slower, lagging behind and all the advantages accorded it to catch up including having them rule over the entire nation has yieled no fruit. Poverty rates, illiteracy, desease and now terrorism are higher in the North.

For any Igbo, it is a disaster that our brothers have been permanently driven out of many norther States out of a deliberate design to have the north for northerners alone. Before Boko Haram, there had been the Kano crise, Bauchi crises, Jos crises, Kaduna crises and so on, targeted at driving the Igbos home. Today many are back home and cannot go back.

How then can you say you are Igbo and you don't know about all these?

Kanana:
Questions 4 all.
The major challenges facing Naija are outlined below. Sentiments apart who do we all think can tackle these issues squarely. Lets have your reasons for your choice please.

CORRUPTION : Buhari or Gej

INSECURITY : Buhari or Gej

AILING ECONOMY : Buhari or Gej

IMPUNITY : Buhari or Gej

POWER SUPPLY : Buhari or Gej

Expecting us to be as objective as possible. Know that ur words can sway an undecided voter to ur side

My take:

CORRUPTION : Buhari or Gej (Neither)
Reason:Gej clearly is not doing it. Buhari who could have done it, from records, approaches it with spite and vendetta which corrupts the fight. Jailing Pa Ajasin, Ekwueme, Soyinka even when they had nothing and bacdated new laws just so that the dragnet will reach those he wanted roped in. In that regard Buhari was corrupt

INSECURITY : Buhari or Gej (Neither)
Reason: Buhari may have experience of War (Nigerian civil war) but not insurgence and terrorism. GEJ today is more experienced in dealing with militants. Don't hope too much for a quick fix. Terrorism is a global phenomenom that is rising by the day. I don't see how buhari is an express answer. Meanwhile all should know that Boko Haram has spiralled out of control and has grown beyond what they (northern intelligencia thought they could use to intimidate Joathan out of power). Now everybody including buhari, northern emirs, etc. Are Boko Haram targets.

AILING ECONOMY : Buhari or Gej (neither)
Reason: buhari has rule before. We have seen his hand. Under him, the Nigerian economy shrank and collapsed and simple things like tinned milk, rice and flour disappeared from all markets and government went into direct importation making Professors, Doctors, Nurse to leave their duty posts to queue for "essential commodities". He failed. Gej failed.

IMPUNITY : Buhari or Gej (Gej). Buhari's human rights records is not comparable to Gej. Plus he is still struggling to be a democrat. Nobody is truly sure of him. All are postulates that he will have changed (at 72). Most people are fixed in their ways after 40.

POWER SUPPLY : Buhari or Gej (Gej). At least there is a plan on ground. Gej saw to conclusive unbunddling of NEPA/PHCN which was an untouchable and a cashcow for the past Hausa-Fulani leadership. Southerner Obj handled telecoms and you and I can ping. Gej has kick-started same revolution in power sector, but it is clearly something that will take some time. I'd rather follow a slow and sure path than hope of a quick shortcut that nobody is sure of. Under Yaradua's short regime, his first SGF sought to reverse privatisation including monetisation programme, saying it did not favour the north. Can you assure us here that Buhari will sustain current programmes in power reforms more than the originators.

Pls mark my script

Again, on Lokoja-Abuja road, who would believe that it was left as a single lane for such a long time while Kaduna-Abuja road was fully dualised from as far back as IBB regime

NobleG1:
Could you list GEJ's accomplishments that bettered ordinary citizens since the inception of his presidency?

Let me help here. Only 2 examples (100% personal experience).

1. As a young Nigerian, have you heard of YouWin?

Ordinary Nigerians all over the nation are encouraged to compete for a national award of max N10million to start business, to start life.

2 striking facts:
a) it is completely devoid of man-know-man. Ask the awardees; it is 100% merit based. It was never so in this country especially under the Hausa-Fulani dominated rule
b) GEJ is sinking an enormous sums of money in this flagship programme. No of awardees all over the nation in the immediate past phase is over 2,000. That is N20billion direct to ordinary Nigerians. But the cost of all the trainings, counselling to the programme participants is equally huge

2. Lokoja - Abuja road has a worldwide reputation - as the only link between southern and northern Nigeria. It is not only bad that all the past leaders allowed us to have only a single link route between lower and upper Niger river, but is a sacrilege that they left it unattended and it deteriorated so much to become a death trap - the most notorious stretch of road in Nigeria with the highest accident rates. I started plying dat road regularly from 2008, driving myself most times, and today GEJ issued a "fatwa" on that road, fully dualising it and saving many innocent lives or ordinary Nigerians who were before now, either killed or maimed for life in daily accidents and occur and recur on that road.

I gave just 2. If you desire, I lay out more like elections (votes are beginning to count) which Obasanjo could not give to Nigerians, freedom of Expression (which Buhari detests and has not changed mind you) including FOI Act.

liberty300:
It's painful seeing southerners supporting buhari. The north has always conquered nigeria by turning the south against each other by first; getting in the heads of the Yorubas and instigating them against the rest. Starting from the war, census and election, the north always turned the south against each other.

I know GEJ is not perfect but who is. The man put wonderful policies in place that we just should have patients for them to bare fruit.
Am not a tribalist but the forces working against the south are too many. We should learn to stay together and say "no" to the north. They have ruled us for more than 35 yrs and decided to form apc after they removed northerners from power

Think!

Kudos to you. You've earned my respect!

Nobody, (I repeat), Nobody is interested in GMB's certificate.

We are all getting it wrong.

The issue is about GMB's claim and whether he could be trusted.

If he has claimed WASC as his highest educational (not professional) qualification, he must produce the certificate when called for in order to proof his integrity.

He claims to change country, address corruption and tackle Boko Haram and unemployment. These are big claims. Very big ones.

How can we believe and trust him on above when a simple claim he made that he has wasc cannot be verified?

This matter can never go away even if he becomes president. Wake up guys, this is 21st century Nigeria. B'cos without satisfactorily clearing the issue, it will be a permanent point of reference by both the press and public to attack him.

It makes this issue a fundamental one.

That is also why GMB's handlers are sweating.

As of today GMB's claim to West African School Certificate cannot be verified.

EndtimeBlessing:
As a matter of fact this election is not about anybody's certificate. It is about who can help us out of the security mess we are in and also pay attention to ensuring the deconstruction and reconstruction of governance to deliver developments we can all be proud of.

Nigerians should vote for whoever they are convinced has this capacity.

"Deconstruction and reconstruction of governance" require integrity (I am who I say I am). GMB needs to clear this issue in order to have a moral right to his claim about desire to move the country forward. Otherwise, we might as well take that claim to be false.

The simple truth is that the certificate saga is an indication of a larger fact: Nigeria has moved beyond the simplistic, command structured nation that GMB grew up in and ruled over in the past.

So it's not about certificate really. It is about the increasing sophistication of our society powered by greater literacy, enlightenment and freedom of expression.

I'm pretty sure that GMB will be stone shocked that mere folks -ordinary Nigerians (who they had tagged "bloody civilians" not long ago), could sum up the temerity to task him on such a simple matter as this.

But this is lesson 101 for would-be President GMB -Nigeria has changed!

hansad:
Una de fool unasef giving thousands of thumbs up. Buhari's certificate problems is not ended. In fact, he has begun another fishy aspect of the scandal. He cannot come out of this one.

Anybody can go to Cambridge and do Oluwole computer printout. Katsina College that wrote the report has no documentary evidence of Buhari's results - all are now faked.

Can they hear?

Statement of result is not certificate.

And folks, in those days, it was not credit system they use o!

The joke has just started.

callmenow:
You are out of touch. Without prejudice. The constitutional requirement quoted above has since been amended. The candidate must attach his minimum qualification, WAEC in the case of Buhari to his application. This is why his affidavits sufficed in the earlier elections. But since 2012, you must attach a copy of your certificates. What INEC should do is to obey the law, by cancelling his candidature instead of suggesting that they are not constitutionally allowed to disqualify Buhari, out of fear. Perhaps jega needs to be reminded about the oath he swore, when he accepted the job. Buhari is looking increasingly forlorn, and exasperated by all these. He is increasingly looking jaundiced.

My exact position. Kudos to you.

It's still the conspiracy of the north against the collective progress of our nation. Why should Jega take such a stance if not that the candidate in question is a fellow northerner.

And for the South-West, which postures as Nigeria's most educated region not coming openly to call a spade a spade, we have a long way to go, dear fellow Nigerians!

The most crucial matter concerning GMB's certificate saga is the addiction by INEC of its constitutional role of ensuring compliance with the electoral act.

Jega is wrong in stating that INEC lacks statutory right to demand compliance with electoral act.

PDP or its sympathisers have definitely approached the court on the matter, but guess what: it is not about asking GMB to produce his certificate which he, obviously doesn't have, but to compel INEC to perform it's duty of demanding GMB to provide the certificate or his name will not be on the list of candidates.

Now, why this issue is truly a headache for APC:
GMB claimed to have WAEC (mind you, not the equivalent). If he fails to produce the certificate (which is pretty obvious at this moment that he doesn't possess such, never attained such), his crime will be that is making wrong declaration (under oath). No more issue of equivalent of WASC which is basically a judgemental matter.

Howbeit, basic fact is that Nigeria of today has gone beyond what such people like GMB represent. Favouritism of people of northern Nigeria since the colonial era is the root cause of corruption and lack of progress in Nigeria.

I expect the educated people of Nigeria to stand their ground and say in unison that Nigeria of today deserves a leader with much better qualification than WASC. Otherwise the gains we made in the education and other sectors will be in vain

The bluntness can come to question, coming from such a quarter. However, the question is: what is APC's real game plan? 4years to the North and next 4 years to the West? B'cos I don't see Buhari at near 80 being useful to anybody.

NB: 72 today plus next 8years =80

ichidodo:
[color=#1980BC] Buhari is a dead man walking although fayose shouldn't have gone this far but you must admire his tenacity,trade mark bluntness and prophetic prowess just like his dear wife....Nairalanders can vote for Yar adua 2.0 for all we care,with less than 5% with their voters card,it is unfortunate the rest can't vote with 'likes'.. [/color]

That is if the president has WAEC. It is clear that GMB doesn't even have the WAEC.

He got into the army on Emir Bayero list.

Meanwhile, I got this thru Whatsapp broadcast.

"* I have never seen any school built in his name.
* I have never seen any borehole constructed by him.

* There is no record of any scholarship
awarded by him or for him nor through him.

* I have never seen him use his popularity to canvass for any charitable work nor any humanitarian
effort, not even at the height of the polio scourge where other
purposeful and prominent leaders lead the campaign for immunization.


* No single text book has been donated to any school either by him, for him or through him.

* Asides from doing nothing, he has not improved himself
since his exit from office.

* No book written, no memoirs, no lectures,
nothing.

* The only thing of note he can point to are his numerous interviews on the BBC Hausa station.

* He never championed anything for his state nor has he ever been involved in any kind of programme to better the lives of the Almajiris in Daura.

* His entire existence has not lead to any meaningful development in Daura, yet they say he can change Nigeria.

Doesn't charity begin at home again?

* He is not a patron to any organization, group or association.

* No professional body in Nigeria has ever invited him for their lecture, convention or gala night.
* The only time any known form, body or human assemblage ever chose him to do
anything for them was when the Boko Haram terrorist sect nominated him as their spoke person in the proposed talks with the Fed. Govt. He recently joined twitter because of elections.

At 72 what does he have to offer?
I need change we all need change but Gen Buhari isn't the answer!
Share"

Txt in bold interesting

GEJ sounding more confident every passing day.

KanwuliaJara:
Vague is an understatement!
The only thing I see about him is HIS GAP-TOOTH!
A weakling that fell asleep to wake up to a bloodless coup?

It is so shameful that this is the BEST Nigerians can do!
The other choice wey make face like 'OTU OKE' is just as ridiculous!
I really pity NIGERIA and NIGERIANS!
Tufiakwa!!!!

My own take on the situation is simple. Jonathan is definitely not that leader that will take Nigeria to the promise land, but Buhari is definetly not a solution. I can give jonathan a very weak pass (39.9999%) but Buhari who, today, stands on the same pedestrian as Jonathan, as both have ruled Nigeria and must be judged based on their performance and known tendencies; cannot get my 30%. So who will replace near 40 with 30? I'd rather wait. How I wish we had a 3rd better candidate, but we don't. So I will wait out the bad dream

Adminisher:
Wr were not queuing after six months. All forex issues were solved and profiteering were eliminated. There was even no more need for price controls after some time. Please dont take a traders view of the events at the time. Buhari practical caused FMCG sector boost in 83/84

Na waaaa.

It must really be a different Nigeria we are talking about. What is known, and it is official, both locally and internationally, is that Buhari/Idiagbon ran the economy aground and actually seemed relieved to be overthrown by Babangida because they had no clue what to do next.

Your position is surprising. Should I get you the facts as they were; and why there was wild jubilation when they were kicked out?

Problem is the large no of youngsters on Nairaland who don't know Buhari.

I personally queued for a whole day to buy essential commodities and ended up getting nothing B'cos the warehouse stock finished b4 it got to about ten persons before me.

Meanwhile, even with WAI people would come with notes from Brigadier and get served

100% korofo school drop out will not rule 21st century Nigeria.
