If he has certificate, why does he need to swear affidavit?

berem:
He is 72years old and still strong. Are you healthier than him? Pray to God that you will live up to his age.

Onye iro!

Says the clown who doesn't even know how old I am!

Xetima:
Respect illiterate? We had Salisu Buhari and now Mohammadu Buhari.

Can you notice the similarities































[size=18pt]CERTIFICATE FORGERY [/size]

"Can you see the similarity in altitude"

Apologies to the indefatigable Musiwa?

Why does buhari look sick in those picture. Is something the matter?

talented16guy:
Well my fellow nairalander, I wish to remind u of 2011 when Gej promise nto contest for just4 yrs and now he has lied by telling us Nigerians that henever promise so let's watch o for integrity leader

What's your point.

Amid tears, Buhari said 2011 was his last election contest, he lied!

Eziachi:
Gosh! He has, it called affidavit.
That was what the law required him to do under the circumstances and thats exactly what Sambo did too because he said that his own certificate was consumed by fire.
No matter how much semi or total illiterate you call him, there is a 50-50 chance he will be you head of state next month.
Moaning on the internet, won't make any change, rather it might energize northerners who are listening and reading all of you calling one of their elite son an illiterate irrespective of their party affiliation.
Can Jonathan still win? Of course he can but you guys are not helping him.

You miss the point.

There is no need for affidavit when a simple request for the certificate would have doused concerned raised? Is he swearing affidavit that his certificate is lost or missing? Is he swearing affidavit because he cannot get a copy of his certificate from the institution that issued the original? What's the purpose of an affidavit if the original document, when available will suffice?

Again the Sambo case is quite classy, and different from Buhari's case. Sambo affidavit is supported by document from the institution which issued the original certificate? Can we say the same for Buhari? What will it cost him to do what's needful?

If according to you sworn affidavit is sufficient for the purpose of election, why is there still hullabaloo from every quarter about it? And do you really think this matter will go away even if Buhari wins? Or you think that international community will not see Nigeria as laughing stock if we fail to do the right thing in this matter?

For your information, whether folks from North sees what is posted here or not is immaterial, and whether we are doing GEJ a favour or not by asking relevant questions on Buhari certificates is not as important as getting things done properly.

Buhari should produce his certificates, and all this will go away. Otherwise, it will keep eating whatever it is he called integrity, as Nigerians are seeing through the veils! If he doesn't have the necessary qualification, let him be man enough to face the truth, we don't want a lying leader!

Eziachi:
So what is the difference between what you did with your employers and what was purported that Buhari had done with INEC?
You used your statement of result which were acceptable to you employers and he used affidavit acceptable to INEC.
You must have directed them where to verify your qualification and he directed INEC to the military to verify.

Whether its a job selling akara or a job being president, doesn't make any difference. Running for office is like looking for a job and the election is the interview, vote/winning meant, you got the job.

If the law said that affidavit is not acceptable, verification not acceptable, he has no chance than he cannot run, but he has done what the law required of him and that is why those that matters (INEC) are not getting involve.
That is why PDP are not taking him to court yet. Use your tongue to count your teeth. There is difference between emotion and law. You are being carried away by emotion because Buhari is not on the list of your Christmas card.




APC are fighting because your throwing some mud on their beauty queen. Political fight is like a beauty contest, if the PR for Miss Ghana started saying all over the media that Miss Nigeria has some smelling stuff under herself, what do you expect the PR for Miss Nigeria to to? Fold his arm hoping that it won't affect the outcome. He won't give a hoof whatever you are saying because for four years, now, you have said worse than certificate. In Igbo, we said when a king kept shouting hoax about his fictional lion that is coming, the day the real lion will come, everyone will ignore him thinking, it's one of his wolf cries and the lion will eat him.
Don't blackmail me with your age. Everyone is equal here as long as you are able to form an opinion. I respect every opinion, even when we sharply differs. What I am saying is my opinion, and your is your, we don't have to like them both and we don't have to be invicible enemies about it to. (Remember that we are invincible to each other?)

If you don't understand the difference between statement of result (issued by an institution) and sworn affidavit, there is no point debating this matter any longer with you.

double0seven:
what the hell are you talking about? There is no electoral law that require SSCE as requirement for contesting elections.

What the electoral law says is: for you to contest to be Nigeria's President, you must posses an academic minimum qualification of at least SSCE or its equivalent.

There is a very big wide difference in this and what you seem to be implying.

For instance, one can sit for Cambridge A levels exams without SSCE or WAEC or not even going to any secondary school. Through A levels you can progress to other academic attainments like OND, BSC etc.

Cool. Then let him present whatever certificate is required of him so that Nigerians can move to discussing more salient election issue. Why is it taking him so long to shed the toga of 'semi-illiterate' hanging on his neck? In whose interest is he delaying on this matter?

Eziachi:
I am sure Buhari appreciates your deep concern for his wellbeing.
The fact remained that, who told you that he has qualification problems?
I heard or read that he will be campaigning in Akwa Ibom and Rivers State tomorrow. That doesn't seem to me that he is worried or ignorant that he got a problem.
I for one had no idea where any of my own primary school or secondary school certificates are. If you ask me, I will simply refer you to the school I attended. Whether they got a copy or a record, I don't know.

I never collected my SSCE certificate; my first degree certificate still reside with the university. My employer are satisfied with the statement of results I provide and have done necessary verification. However you and I are not running for political office. If we are and the system requires we must present our certificates, then it become incumbent on us to do the needful.

If you think the certificate issue is not a problem, why then is the APC issuing discombobulated statement here and there to that effect? Why do you think Nigeria are shouting from the rooftop asking for it? Or perhaps you are right, Buhari doesn't give a damn about us asking for his certificate, and you think he's going to give a hoot about anything we say if he inadvertently wins?

Pa Eziachi, if you must come to equity, please come with clean hands! Don't trade your age and integrity for those who cares not!

Eziachi:
I have seen and tasted Nigerian politics to the extent that I can write a book on it. What is happening about this certificate nonsense has happened before in a slightly different format.
In 1979, probably a month before the election. The UPN engineered a conspiracy like this that Azikiwe SHOULD PRODUCE HIS WHOLE TAX CERTIFICATE, tha did not pay his taxes, he should be disqualified because Zik submitted an affidavit that he cannot find the original copies of his tax papers and referred FEDECO to the inland revenue, of which they accepted.
They thought Azikiwe was a force for this election, and ignoring the main snake, being the NPN.

Suddenly, everyone was talking about Azikiwe's tax rather than the election. This was the period when the Western axis dominated the print media. They kept this propaganda going for weeks on end and Zik unlike today has no national medium to reply. Then someone went to court to stop him contesting and just few days to the election the supreme court dismissed the case, but in reality Azikiwe and his party had wasted valuable campaign time talking and defending the tax issue.

The second scenario was in 1983. GNPP stronghold of Gongola and Borno was a problem for NPN, few months before the election, they hatched a plot to get rid of the GNPP strong man in Borno, Alhaji Aliyu Abubakar Shugaba. One morning was woken up along with his family by people breaking down their door. It was Nigerian immigration services. They were asking the 70 year old Shugaba to produce his birth certificate, that he isn't a Nigerian, he was from Chad. This was a man that had served as a permanent secretary in the federal ministries for years before then.

He thought it was a joke, but instantly they bundled him and his family into a waiting truck, drove them to the Nigerian border with Chad and dump them in the middle of nowhere in Chad and left and told no one.
Unlike today with mobile phone, for weeks, The leadership of the party was looking for him and his family. Police were alerted and they did nothing. NPN government kept mute.

Until a custom officer among those that deported them secretly told one of the newspapers in the north about what happened and when the news finally broke, it was like a hurricane, many people could not believe it. Shagari government that kept mute before now said that he won't be led back into his own country, that the deportation was in order.
The case got to the supreme court after many months and he won. They was allowed to return home and huge compensation paid to him and his family. GNPP still went on to Gongola state mainly because of people's outrage.

So, when Nigerian politicians are desperate, they can engineer anything. One day, God willing, we will hear the truth behind this sudden Buhari has no certificate saga. Mark my word.

Thank your for sharing with us the depth of your history knowledge and and experience. As they say "those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it." Is Buhari not aware of these happenings? Is Buhari not aware of the law requiring SSCE as a requirement for contesting election in Nigeria? What stopped him from arming himself all these while with the necessary requirement? If he's ignorant of the requirement of running for presidency in Nigeria, what make you think he won't be ignorant of the problems he's coming to solve? If he's unprepared for election what's the guaranty that he's prepared to lead?

Even as we speak Buhari can make necessary move to (re)acquire his certificate, what's stopping him?

berem:
being a graduate does not amount to being intelligent. Thanks to people like Bill Gates who have proven that.
As I said,keep shouting till you loose your voice,Buhari can never be disqualified,certificate or no certificate.

As an older PDP rat on nairaland,you should be able to convince people like me why I should stop supporting Buhari and vote for Jonathan. But alas! You join the foolish ones to also ask for Buhari"s certificate.

Shame on you PointB.

Personally, I have written you off as one shameless dolt. Responding to you comes with great reluctance, as I prefer not to engage myself in mudslinging especially with those who dwell mostly in the lower rung of a pigsty!

But since you summon the temerity to confront me personally on this issue. Let me make it clear to you that your principal is a two-faced, lying, unlettered fanatical bigot!

No one has ask for his disqualification even so! What every intelligent person has asked for is for his certificates. We know that there are less intellectually gifted individuals motivated by sentiment who wouldn't want to exercise their grey matter in asking this simple question, let alone providing the complex answers. What such individual should do at the very least is to shut-up and watch situation evolve. But you forget your place too soon, and couldn't help exposing your depth of bigotry powered ignorance! You are indeed a shameless dolt! Begone!!

barcanista:
Has any law been broken? If yes, go to court! If no, shut the f.u

Don't be an foolish.

I believe those who have higher stakes are already warming up to do what's necessary. However, here in the people's court, Buhari action and inaction will be perused, dissected, and analyzed from every sides and all angles. Small fries such as your goodself, actually count for nothing in the larger scheme of thing. That is why your dishonest and hypocritical rant's will be consigned to where it belongs - dustbin of Nairaland!

hyfr:
OMG[b] berem and barcanista[/b] are u guys graduates If you are then something is wrong with u. You call Gej clueless now look at yourselfs and GEJ, who's is the clueless one Silent is dangerous

Lol,

They don't have to be graduate to post in Nairaland. Seun didn't place such requirement on forum user. But I do get your point.

Those who call for change suddenly find themselves victim of the change they advocated for. Their principal is now required to follow due process, and you suddenly find minions prancing up and down trying to defend the indefensible. That's hypocrisy basking in its full ignominy!

If the military is indeed with Buhari's original copies (which they claim is not so), why can't he simply approach his former school, WAEC or whichever body responsible for issuing the certificate for a reprint. What's the big deal?

It will make more sense if he shares a photo of his original certificate!

Eziachi:
If the certificate was my problem, I know 1001 legal things to do to get it.

It is BUhari's problem; let him fix it. Vultures have the right to feast on carcass!

presido1:
Thought you wanted to paste a scanned copy of the certificate. Seriously you made no sense from the above

Forgive Pa Eziachi,

He's drunk with wisdom of age, only the equally yoked will comprehend his deep thought, cryptically penned.

@Pa Eziachi,

It is incumbent on Buahri to produce his certificate while he still has some credibility to salvage. As for why Nigerians are on his case, it's simple - Nigerians like to make example of the high and mighty. Buhari happened to be in the firing range now; men of 'integrity' shouldn't be committing perjury! So let him do what has to be done to douse the flame. In a country of over 170 million people, we surely can find one without such baggage!

Through quota system! hehehe

Agwoden:
No wonder his certificates are with the military board Lol.

Buahari and APC message to Nigeria youth:

"You don't have to go to school!" Boko Haram!!

BekeeBuAgbara:
Which military board?

Buhari used the military to secure his certificate, same way he planned to use them to secure the economy and maybe also to regulate world oil price.

jmaine:
Lolz @ your intro . . . . The thread must have been reported like a billion times to warrant that.

Anyway, we are still on Buharetard case . . . .

Yes oo.

They can delete our posts, but they can't take our certificates!

Buhari Must Produce His Certificate!

He's an unlettered bigot, a quota-ed general, a semi-illiterate!

So this is the best APC can bequeath teeming Nigerians? An unlettered bigot!!

I believe they were stolen by Liar Mohammed!

Enemies of the people. They have removed my thread discussing emerging names for Buhari.

Anyway, Buhari should just produce his certificate, that's only evidence of meeting the requirement. He can go to WAEC and ask for a reprint if he so desires. All these rants by APC count for nothing, except comic relief.


#BuahriShowYourCertificate

“For example, assuming A is the best student in Ajuwa Grammar School, Okeagbe, Akoko. Now on the very day before the commencement of the West African School Certificate Examination, he sexually harassed the daughter of the English teacher as a result of which he was dismissed, will A be said not to have met the education qualification of section 131(d) of the constitution?

This pure and unadulterated nonsense. I am not surprised it's coming from APC, just a little disappointed in the quality of those aspiring to rule the country.

So can he tell me how student A can use the "educational qualification" he obtain after dismissal, for job or further education? Or is this clown not aware that formal education certificate is awarded to those who met the requirement both in[b] "character and intellect"[/b]! A rusticated student could NEVER be said to have met the requirement.

APC is going down the drain daily with this nonsense.
