it's unfortunate we are not in a jungle. SSCE or nathin

Adminisher:
Illiteracy is the inability to read and write in a particular language. So you and millions of other half educated Nigerians have been using the word wrongly. Intellectually lazy supporters of the most questionable PhD certificate holder President in history. So Buhari is not illiterate.
Let me also continue your education since it is obviously very poor. Illiteracy in a language is better than lack of education and these two are better than lack of ability to reason (intellectual ability) which most of you don't have.

There should be no argument really but in this case WHO HAS THE POWER TO ASK.

THE CONSTITUTION IS CLEAR and CAN BE READ HERE


http://www.nigeria-law.org/ConstitutionOfTheFederalRepublicOfNigeria.htm#InterpretationCitationAndCommencement

School Certificate or its equivalent" means

(a) a Secondary School Certificate or its equivalent, or Grade II Teacher’s Certificate, the City and Guilds Certificate; or

(b) education up to Secondary School Certificate level; or

(c) Primary Six School Leaving Certificate or its equivalent and -

(i) service in the public or private sector in the Federation in any capacity acceptable to the Independent National Electoral Commission for a minimum of ten years, and

(ii) attendance at courses and training in such institutions as may be acceptable to the Independent National Electoral Commission for periods totalling up to a minimum of one year, and

(iii) the ability to read, write, understand and communicate in the English language to the satisfaction of the Independent National Electoral Commission, and

(d) any other qualification acceptable by the Independent National Electoral Commission;


What this means is INEC alone has the Power to determine whether BUHARI's qualifiications are "ACCEPTABLE"


NOT EVEN THE COURTS HAVE A SAY ONCE INEC SAYS "ACCEPTABLE"

May be the transformation agenda didn't supply you electricity to watch it live. Or you've decided to remain blind, deaf and dumb to the news as it circulated throughout the social media. Google is still your friend anyway.

It simply tells you how flawed the Nigerian constitution is. If what they are trying to tell us,is that with a mere ability to read and write,you can contest for the office of the president of the federal republic of Nigeria,it tells you how low we have sunk as a nation. This alone,rubbishes the hardwork that has been put into work by most well educated citizens who have burnt candle at midnight,and have taken the pain to cope with the stressful educational system you have in Nigeria. As it is,it means we can't blame students in secondary and tertiary institutions today,who aren't reading or taking their book work serious. So long as they can read and write,they can become the president tomorrow. How comfortable are we with this kind of arrangement? If previous military leaders were well educated,I'm sure Nigeria would have been better than it is today cos they probably would have brought their educational experience to bare,while leading the nation. You can't compare the decisions an educated man will make,to one who just stopped at primary school. The Nigerian constitution handed over to us by the military needs overhauling. We like to compare ourselves with America or UK but I doubt if these countries would ever present an uneducated candidate during their presidential elections.

Kia APC can lie O which PDP lawyer? Buhari never finished school, if he had, he would have said so. Letter from principal is never an equivalent. His father could have walked into the Principal's office without Buhari being a student. The elections are over. More so we don't want an idol as President, want a human being that is loved or hated moderately not one set of people dying for you and others having a deep resentment for you.

Eziachi:
Do you actually understand English language? The letter from the principal, means attestation attached to a result he will submit with the army on its authenticity, which was the norm when Nigeria has some ethnic and professionalism.
The problem is that young people today uses what is obtained today, by way of standard, morality a and poor quality standards to judge the past. But they are wrong.
Respond to what you read and not what you wanted to believe. 1961 was an era when the British still run the schools and Igbos plus Yoruba runs the military after the British. The north dominance of the military only started almost after the 1966 counter coup and civil war.
The argument over certificate is not only laughable to a neutral person, but insane as to the extent people can go when they are desperate and cornered.
Let's assume and agree with PDP that Buhari did not attend secondary school, but he did pass througb Sandhurst military school England of all places. So that makes him a first degree holder. Which makes the argument over a school certificate a waste of time.

Do you really need an expensive lawyers to tell you what your common sense and conscience can tell you for free.

double0seven:
your comment shows that you are actually the illiterate. The constitution requirement you quoted actually shows that nothing is wrong; that everything is intact as concerns the qualification of GMB to stand for presidential elections.

kay1one:
Go and apply for a job without certificate! Illiterate!

Jesusloveyou:
which certificate are u stil looking for again,animal,because illiterate is better than an animal,that is why u what lecturer of animal to be ur president.

omonnakoda:
Have you read the constitution because if you have and if you comprehended what you read you will not write mere ability to read and write because the constitution says no such thing. Try to read it http://www.nigeria-law.org/ConstitutionOfTheFederalRepublicOfNigeria.htm#InterpretationCitationAndCommencement

and comprehend it because clearly you have not read it or even worse you read and did not comprehend.
I do not think the ability to read and write is trivial as you have so clearly demonstrated

chronique:
I was responding to the section of the constitution quoted by the APC spokesperson and the implied logic from that explanation,simple meant "so long as a person can read and write,and has worked in the public sector for about 10 yrs". If a primary school leaver works as a receptionist in the public service and doesn't rise above the post of a secretary to one of the heads of department in that ministry or parastatal,and spends 10 yrs in that office,He or She is qualified to contest as a candidate in an election. That's what it simply means. My question to you is this: do you think such a person would be capable of piloting the affairs of a Nation like Nigeria?

omonnakoda:
My reply to you would be ;that is the purpose of the election. Let the people whose affairs he seeks to pilot make that determination.One person's opinion is important but not crucial. The presidency is a political position not a technical one. The time and place to determine what qualifications are required has come and gone we now have rules.
Your hypothetical scenario is irrelevant in this case. The whole purpose of having rules is to avoid conflict. We have rules let us follow them.

Id.oits. most of those tanoids screaming "certificate" are indeed id.iots!

I wish the case had gone to court, it would have been thrown out at the first hearing.!

I understand very well and all I'm saying is that,in a country like Nigeria where illiteracy is high(even among the so called educated ones) and sentiments of my religion and tribe comes into electing a leader,it's very easy for us to make the wrong decisions. The constitution has to be visited again and the requirements for people seeking elective offices,has to be upgraded. Only then,can we be sure of having the right pool of candidates to pick from. Majority of the people holding elective positions today,do not have that sound academic background and it is evident in how the nation is being governed.

No. You are the one who did not understand. Let me give you a scenario:

Jude sought admission to be admitted to a university and he got one with a fake result

He was fortunate to scale through the school, graduated with Bsc and still went for his masters with the same fake o 'level certificate

He got a job and worked with his two university certificates and the fake o.levels cert.

After like 10yrs in service, he decided to change his job and the new employee decided to do due dilligence on his certification and it was then discovered that the O' levels Cert (which is the basis of other higher certification is fake/non-existent) are we now going to say since he has been able to obtain his two university certification, the o level' cert is of no relevant? No sir. "Ex nihilo, nihili fit' (You can not build something on nothing) Even the bible says when the foundation is destroyed, what can the righteous do?

If you build a skyscraper on a shaky foundation, it is bound to collapse.

If truly Buhari does not have O 'levels, it means he was not qualified in the first instance to be admitted into the military, hence Everything he has achieved in the army is nothing but fraud, hence null and void since you cannot build legality on illegality.

2. Buhari deposed to affidavit that he has his original certificates (i beleive WASC inclusive since that is what he filled in INEC forms) with the millitary which the formal has vehemently denied. which means he lied under oath outrightly. He is liable for perjury (He has to prove that Millitary lost the credentials)

Well he said he will address press. I only hope he has a good position, otherwise, the old man is playing with 14yrs imprisonment unless it is glossed over. The evil men did...

I wish him good luck (not Jonathan)

3. In the form

Do you know how many people fire/water have destroyed their certificate? Why did you think there is affidavit?
