Address Me As, Muhammadu Buhari, Not General by Naijaland12(op): 3:57pm On May 17, 2015
With the acronym, GMB (General Muhammadu Buhari) he rode to victory at the last general election but he now wants to be addressed differently.
The official portraits of Nigeria’s president-elect and his vice-president, have been unveiled by their media team in Abuja.

And after being sworn in on 29 May, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari will now want to be addressed simply as Muhammadu Buhari, President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Federal Republic of Nigeria.

His deputy will also be addressed as Professor Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, Vice President, Federal Republic of Nigeria.

But truthfully speaking, Buhari is NOT a "GENERAL". He is a MAJOR GENERAL, which is two ranks below an actual General. And no, they are not the same thing.
In the army, the Brigadier-General (one star) precedes the Major-General (two stars) which comes before the Lieutenant-General (three stars), and THEN the General (four stars).
The "GMB" label was actually a misnomer.

He would now be addressed as President Muhammadu Buhari (PMB), otherwise known as Post Mail Bag!!! cheesy grin

If not for the sincerity of Buhari, he would have been a General. Most of the so-called Retired/late Generals (like Abacha and Babangida) we have today were his inferiors when they were still in Service. He didn't just wanna promote himself in a dubious way like them. He's Mr 'Due Process'... He's worth the General tag and he deserves it!

I hope he is not a product of Quota System undecided


Anyway

















Buhari

Prove us wrong that you are not

BABA ONE CHANCE

BABA HYPOCRITE

BABA MAGICIAN


Prove us wrong by probing


Tinubu OBJ Saraki Atiku Rochas Amaechi


Prove us wrong by probing the corrupt Federal Civil Service which is dominated by Tinubu's people


Sir

Tinubu's people voted you because they believe they can steal the oil wealth and presidency through you


They believe Tinubu through Osinbajo can control your government the way Idiagbon did


Sir

They do not believe in change because if they do, they would have voted you in 2007 and 2011


Remember that you are a descendant of Usman Dan Fodio

Remember that your ancestors never allowed the Oduduwas deceive them


WISE UP wink wink wink cool

A General is a General, but with different stages. The same thing applies to a Lieutenant-Colonel who is addressed as though he is a Colonel. Today, T. Y. Danjuma is addressed as a General, but he retired as a Lieutenant-General.

How can you know you're saying the wrong thing when the toddler's poo you got for brains has made you incapable of thinking?

Once again, go and drink some bleach. It will wash off the dirt in your brains and end your misery.

A Major-General is NOT a General. It is not even a "type of General" or a stage. That this misnomer is often overlooked in Nigeria does not make it valid. They cannot be used interchangeably. Military nomenclature has its rules.

Promote himself upon his inability to pass exams? It's not possible
.

Show me any military officer on the rank of Brigadier General and above without accolades acquired through military courses and exams passed accept Maj. General Buhari

Ngwakwe, you're pained. Your candidate, Jonathan lost. You also lost your job as a moderator in the politics section. You're ashamed of using your Ngwakwe handle.
Buhari became Head of State as a Major General and remained so 20 months after he was overthrown. Murtala Muhammed became Head of State as a Brigadier. He was a full General when he was assassinated 6 months later.
