Both Prof Ladipo nd Hassan are right.Buhari is semi literate.Buhari may have gained admission into Defence Academy with O/level or modern 7 during his time.He has failed to attend elite academics institutions that could award him qualifications that literate people are known for.Obasanjo has been attending such institutions since after leaving d presidency.Qual like Bsc,Bed,LLb,Msc,Phd etc are what make one literate not military courses known to be useful in military circles or at most chief security jobs outside d military.Military courses are not academics subjects.Thank God that NDA is now a university.All previos Head of state before 1987 when NDA becomes university got Nig Def Academy Cert of Education (NDACE) which was not runing during Buhari's time.Therefore Buhari is at most a schl cert holder and therefore qual as semi literate.Its a pity that an LLb holder accept to serve him. Osinbajo may not know his onus

oloworulz:
eh ya, na who do u like dis? Ur level of thinking got me worried. I can see poverty is already part of ur DNA. Jonathan is fuckinggg ur grandma from behind and u are there smiling

agog:
This is a master piece. Buhari by any standard was educated in the best institutions in the world and excellently distinguished himself. Kudos to the people's General, the Nigeria's 15th President come 2015.

Flets:
By 2015, it will be 42 years Buhari started active service and never found it important to get a formal education yet he wants to rule a progessively educated Nigeria.The reason is simple......Boko is haram (Education is forbidden).For anybody still in doubt if Buhari has ties with Bokoharam. There lies your answer.... their policies are totally aligned.

zenithshipping:
I wonder where these country is heading to? Is this the time we should be argueing if someone is a semi-literate or we should focus on how the country we move foward,Even the so called PHD holder what has he achieve for the whole 5yrs?

Akon419:
best institution indeed .Even with the best institution, he can not even differentiate between impeccable and impeachable >:

In conclusion, it is obvious to all Nigerians that the PDP government and its illiterate professor are only interested in playing dirty politics with the lives and properties of Nigerians. Nigerians now need Buhari, a man with international military education and experience, a seasoned administrator with zero tolerance for corruption to end this insecurity, bring prosperity, and place Nigeria at the seat it deserves in the comity of nations.

Sefini!

Ikengawo:
Your going to need more than 12 million votes to 'Staap Kwaropshan' in nigeria and one of those things is a strong intellect which Buhari lacks. Semi-literacy coupled with old age

obi4eze:
Is their principal whom we'd send back to Otuoke soon any better?
Leadership is not just about academic development and he has proved it with his clueless manner of administration.

Sai Buhari joor!
Kick out cluelessness from Aso Rock.

Niseamaka:
So the ability to differentiate b/w "impeccable and impeachable" is what is needed to solve the monumental problems besetting Nigeria?.

abdulll6afh:
Cybertooth we agree about all wat u said about buhari wat about jonathan that kills morethan 13,000 people in the name of bokoharam how will u describe him. And u are saying dat u will not vote for buhari. Weather u vote him or not many wil vote for him u are nothing in nigeria your vote wil not make janathan or buhari to score or to fail in election

0700Jesse:
really?? Did GEJ do so to urs? If he didnt to urs, he couldnt have done so to mine!
You are just a liar like Buhari

Ab2019:
I am so disappointed that this can come from yoruba that I regarded as the most elitistic tribe in Nigeria. Are you saying only Bsc,Bed,LLB,Msc,Phd... are the only cert that makes one a literate? check your dictionary and learn the meaning of SPECIALIZATION. otuoke man is a zoologists ( course for those that want to go to university at all cost) and he is literate to your understanding but a graduate of a military school ( school that many people dream of going) is illiterate....I hope you are not seeing yourself as one of the future of this country
God bless Nigeria.

DesChyko:
Nonsense.
Nigeria and Celebrity-hype though.
He's writing from Washington DC and suddenly he has more insight than the locals?
Give me something from 'one' who knows what's up, not that chirping outsider.
Comparing that sect to Boko Haram? Does he even understand the concept of 'Democracy' and 'Human Rights' at all?

Etinosajay:
Dude, shut up. You weren't born then, so you wouldn't know.

DesChyko:
You're as dumb as he is.
Comparing the way a 'sect' was handled in the military regime to how it is being handled now reeks of thoughtless corrigendums.
Fine tune your processing faculty and see for once in your hackneyed life.

22 REASONS WHY BUHARI CAN NEVER
RULE NIGERIA
Originally By: Kekere ekun and Co.
In my books, Buhari is a pretentious anti-
corruption fighter. The trajectory of a
man's journey in public life matters. For
the follwoing reasons I can not vote for
Buhari
1. He is an oligarch who does not believe in
equality before the law. The way he jailed
Lateef Jakande, Jim Nwobodo, Ambrose
Ali, Pa Adekunle Ajasin, Chief Ayo
Ojewumi on cases that had no foundation
and allowed Awwal Ibrahim, the then Niger
State governor, who was arrested in
Heathrow Airport in London with 14 million
pounds sterling and several millions of
Niara and dollars to be under house arrest
is my evidence. He also allowed Shehu
Kangiwa, Sokoto State Governor who
conducted and supervised the famous
Bakolori Massacre of poor peasant
farmers whose land were appropriated
without compesation to remain under
house arrest.
1(a) Ayo Ojewumi became blind as a result
of his imprisonment over false charges and
died shortly after.
1 (b) Prof. Ambrose Alli also became blind
as a result of this false imprisonment.
When he died, he had only one
undeveloped plot of land to his name.
1© Pa Adekule Ajasin was never the same
after his eventual release and remained
sickly for the rest of his life. Whe he
died, he never had any property anywhere
in the world except the one he had built
from his sweat as long term teacher and
school principal in Owo township.
2. He put in place a retroactive law that
killed three men, innocent men in my book,
by public execution. He left untouched an
alleged well known drug baron in Ibrahim
Babangida who later overthrew his
government.
3. He jailed Ndukar Irabor and Tunde
Thompson of the Guardian on stories that
were factually true under Decree 4. He
had told the Nigerian journalists then that
it did not matter whether the story
reported was true or not, if his regime did
not like it, the writer would go to jail.
4. He supervised the smuggling of 53
suitcases filled with cash througth the
MMA against the protests of General
Tunde Idiagbon and ironically, Abubakar
Atiku, the then Director General of the
Customs who later became the Vice
President and a compromised politician
himself. This smuggling of the suit cases
were supervised by his ADC, Col. Mustapha
Jokolo.
5. He jailed Fela Anikulapo -Kuti on
trumped up charges under emergency law
which prompted the sentencing judge to
confess that he was ordered to do so and
apologised to the late musician. It was
Buhari's administration that said it has
"decided to deal with this Fela problem
once and for all."
6. He convinced all the northern political
leaders against allowing the National
Identity Card program because according
to him, this would unravel the myth of
Northern population majority
7. He is an Islamic fundamentalist, the Bin
Laden of Nigeria, who told his northern
followers never to vote for anyone who
was not a muslim.
8. He is a coup plotter.
9. He has never been able to account to
Nigerians what he did with the 20 billion
Naira of the Petroleum Trust Fund of
which he was the chairman under Sani
Abacha.
9(a) He has not been able to point to any
project that he prosecuted outside the
Northern Nigeria with the so-caled trust
fund.
10. He was in full support of all the
atrocities of Sani Abacha against the
Nigerian people. There is no single record
of his criticism of Sani Abacha during
those dark days when Nigeria was on
precipice. It shows that he is a patriot of
convenience and as such unfit to lead the
country.
11. Buhari, as part of his tribalistic
practices placed President Shagari under
house arrest inside a palatia mansion in
Ikoyi while he locked up Shagari's Vice,
Alex Ekwueme in Kirikiri Prison. Shagari is
Hausa/Fulani like him while Alex Ekwueme
is an Igboman.
12. Ikemba Emeka Ojukwu, another
Igboman who returned from 13years exile
just a little over a year then was as well
locked up in Kiri Kiri Prison by
meanhearted Buhari.Up till today we are
not told what was Emeka's offence.
13. Busari Adelakun died of ulcer because
Buhari refused him to be taken out of
prison for immediate medical
attention.The then Governor of Ogun
State,Bisi Onabanjo suffered similar fate
which we were told led to his untimely
death.
14. Buhari ransacked the house of our late
sage, Obafemi Awolowo and confisticated
his International passport. Which civilized
democratic society would elect the likes of
Buhari as President,the same individual
who overthrew an elected President?
Never!
15. Plus Buhari having Sam Mbakwe in jail,
went for one of Mbakwe's wives. He
established himself again for what he
was/is letting Mbakwe receive in jailhouse
news of the death of another of
Mbakwe's two wives. One (I can't
remember his name now; Odenigbo?) also
died in jail.
16. Buhari's henchman and sponsor, CPC
governorship candidate for Kano State, is
Mohammed Abacha, the same person that
had/ran a personal killing squad, co
ordinated the killing of Kudirat Abiola &
attempted to kill Ibru; and also stashed
money in underground tanks, all less than
13 years ago, Nigerians have very short
selective memory. Shame!
17. Buhari discriminated against persons
from other ethnic groups/faiths; and that
as PTF Chairman, he employed an
overwhelming number of Fulani/Hausa/
Moslem people at the detriment of other
groups and concentrated PTF projects in
the North. If in doubt read El Rufai's
testimony where he wrote about Katsina
boys who used the money they made at
PTF to bankroll Yar'Adua's election in
1999.
18. Buhari is unforgiven. When he "took
over" by coup in 1983, even remembered
an article written a very very long time ago
by Bisi Onabanjo ('The Mallams are
coming') and a later one in which Onabanjo
wrote that people should watch out for
that "gangly officer from the north"
after Buhari gave a no holds barred
speech at some Army function where he
was reported to be very openly pro Fulani
and pro Islam to the exclusive of all else
and also talked about termination of
democratic rule. For that, Onabanjo got
one of the harshest jail terms and
treatments.
19. Buhari intolerance is worse than
Obasanjo's. When he was adopted as the
ANPP's candidate on the night of the
party's Primaries without prior warning to
the other candidates and a few of them
protested, Buhari got up and made a
speech that those people must be
disciplined. I subsequently saw him on
BBC's "hard talk" and he frightened me
and the interviewer with his archaic and
fundamentalist intolerant views. His
understanding and articulation is very
much in doubt.
20. The evil genius, IBB and his crew
similarly ran rings around Buhari. On the
10th anniversary of Abacha's demise,
Buhari said that Abacha stole nothing
from Nigeria! Despite millions of Dollars
recovered from banks around the world
and the Abacha family signing a formal
agreement to return over $1 billion dollars,
Buhari still said that Abacha's stealing
remains an unproved allegation!!!! Why?
Because Abacha set Buhari up like an
emperor and let him use oil money from
the Niger Delta to develop the North
without supervision or questions.
21. Buhari snubbed the same Nigerians he
now wants their votes by refusing to
appear before Justice Oputa Truth and
Reconciliation Panel. Despite the fact that
Buhari knew how inportant reconciliation is
to the stability of democracy. Buhari has
never apologised at anytime.
22. Buhari executed Lawal Ojuolape (30),
Bernard Ogedengbe (29) and Bartholomew
Owoh (26). To put it quite plainly, one of
those three – Ogedengbe - was executed
for a crime that did not carry a capital
forfeit at the time it was committed. and
At the time Ogedengbe committed the
crime it did not carry that punishment. If
we must live as civilised citizens we must
go by the rules. Article 11.2 of the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights
reads: "No one shall be held guilty of any
penal offence on account of any act or
omission WHICH DID NOT CONSTITUTE
A PENAL OFFENCE, under national or
international law at the time when it was
committed. NOR SHALL A HEAVIER
PUNISHMENT BE IMPOSED THAN THE
ONE THAT WAS APPLICABLE AT THE
TIME THE PENAL OFFENCE WAS
COMMITTED. Killing people with
retroactive laws is not the civilised thing
to do - and for as long as we will have
people who refuse to see the truth only
because their heroes are inching to rule
when they have not purged themselves we
will continue to wallow in misery.
If Nigerians reward dangerous, insensitive,
dishonest, mean, cruel, partial, egoistic,
religious, fundamendalist, conscienceless
human being like MOHAMMADU BUHARI
with the presidency of Nigeria with this
kind of track record, then why do we still
wonder why Nigeria has not and will not
make it?
I can not in good conscience support
Buhari's candidacy on the above grounds.
I wish we have intelligent people who know
what democracy means. I wish we have
civilized minds. However, I am 100 percent
sure that Buhari will never again rule
Nigeria.
For the good of Nigeria, vote any other
candidate, but SAY NO TO BUHARI!!!
