Yes they were deceived and they bought into the lies and propaganda of Buhari and APC but have since realized that both Buhari and APC are scam and decided to stand for the truth.

Mr. Hoekstra was the former chairman of the U.S. House Intelligence Committee from 2004 to 2007.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Hoekstra


Weapons of mass destruction (WMD)

On June 22, 2006, Hoekstra made headlines by announcing at a press conference in the Capitol that weapons of mass destruction had been located in Iraq in the form of 500 chemical weapons.[9]

A number of other media outlets disputed the claims made by Hoekstra and Rick Santorum regarding the existence of weapons of mass destruction, reporting that the claims were disputed by both Pentagon officials, the Duelfer Report, and the intelligence community.[10][11][12]


On November 3, 2006, The New York Times reported that a website created at the request of Hoekstra and Senator Pat Roberts was found to contain detailed information that could potentially be helpful to those seeking to produce nuclear weapons. The website was shut down on November 2 following questioning by The New York Times.[13]


As of September 17, 2007, some news outlets reported that the Congressional committee Hoekstra had overseen had created "erroneous" and "misleading" reports about Iran's nuclear capabilities. "Among the committee's assertions is that Iran is producing weapons-grade uranium at its facility in the town of Natanz. The IAEA called that "incorrect", noting that weapons-grade uranium is enriched to a level of 90 percent or more. Iran has enriched uranium to 3.5 percent under IAEA monitoring." [14][15]


Hoekstra was a founding member of the Congressional House Tea Party Caucus in 2010.[18][19]


the man's history says plenty. tea party,imperalist expansionism

it should be noted that this is just a letter from a politician

Mr. Buhari notes that building trust is a priority for Nigeria. But an anticorruption drive that is selective and focused on senior members of the opposition party creates deep political divisions. Meanwhile, members of Mr. Buhari’s own cabinet, accused of large-scale corruption, walk free. Seventy percent of the national treasury is spent on the salaries and benefits of government officials, who make upwards of $2 million a year.


this same joker would be shouting dictatorship if buhari went full 1984 on our senators. they are the last bastion of government profligacybut until buhari gets rid of saraki there's not much that can be done about them.


Instead, the Nigerian government has diverted much-needed military resources to the Niger Delta, where rising militancy has reduced Nigeria’s oil production to less than half the country’s capacity, and half the amount required to service the national budget. Much of these tensions arise from Mr. Buhari’s decision to cut amnesty payments to militants and an excessively hard-line approach in a socially and politically sensitive environment.


this is the same sort of empty headed ignorance that characterizes the republicans. no in depth analysis of an issue. the world is still paying for the same faulty analytical process that led to the invasion of iraq. i wonder if this joker would negotiate with terrorists on his own soil. the hypocrisy is galling.

If Bubu can break the number one basic rule of the Federal Republic Of Nigeria then what in seven hells gives him the right to be the general in the war against corruption?

It's like saying there is nothing wrong with having an illegal student as an SUG president

You're a disgrace to rational thinking

Ur logic is sensless and Null. Illegal student means someone not a student of a university, so how does this apply here? Is Buhari not a Nigerian? Show me where in the Constitution WASCE was specifically mentioned? You guys are just making a whole hell of Noise, how many 73 year's old can actually find their waec certs if they wrote one. This is someone whose house was raided after been ousted as a military head of state and as a military man, he was posted every now and then.

This is how the Constitution put it

(e) he has been educated up to at least the School Certificate level or its equivalent;

Which certificate are we talking of here? Primarily, Secondary?
Blame your Constitution. To the best of my knowledge, Buhari have even attained far more than the equivalents so if u think anything can happen to Buhari with all these noise. You are having a pipe dream.

Quit this silly obsession with certificate. Everyone can see he is literate. The one that claimed to be a phd holder is the one that put the whole country in this mess we are today

Pls grow up! Good leadership is not by certificate

Its not the paper that matters, it is rather the realization that the president went through due process to get that piece of paper called certificate, that is whats important. And a certificate just proves that. You need to be intelligent to rule a country. You need intelligence and wisdom to rule anything, even if its an ant. Because with that you will get understanding of how thing work. There is a certain level you will get to in you educational pursuit that will change your thinking process, the way you brainstorm, they way you view life. I know certificate is a shiit, but acquire knowledge is simply not.

You're either deliberately missing the point or simply didn't understand the analogy.
The issue he raised wasn't about citizenship. If you lie about or forge the results that got you into jss1 (ie your common entrance result) then you'll be stripped of your current phd or professorship. I'm sure you're aware that many were caught throughout gej's era for forging nysc call up letters. There are millions using fake waec, bsc and ond results to get jobs.
That's the point.
And thank God, cambridge has his scores, so no accidental fires to destroy archives. All he has to do is request for them- especially now that he's in the uk.

I get your point my brother. There's a little sarcasm in my post and perhaps humor. My point is that the double standards in the western media is no longer acceptable. They contributed to the ousting of Jonathan, calling him every name in the book and hailing buhari as the saving hero. Gullible Nigerians accepted that. Now they turn around and say buhari is worse than goodluck. the same gullible Nigerians still accept it.

I'm not for or against buhari, he's my president after all. But people must learn to think for themselves and not just swallow anything that comes out of the media just because a western media said it.

Mr man don't try to be smart. You sighted a warped logicg usin an illegal student becoming and SUG president. It was on that basis i first replied u. I simply asked how that applies here. Until a case have been established that thr President forged a Waec certificate there is no case here. In Nigeria, a sworn affidavit is used in this scenario. WAEC and the supposed sch are in the best position to determine if Buhari as a waec certificate or not. And as i said, the law didn't state what exact certificate is the minimum. It only stated school certificate.

I can now see that, in the absence of a superior argument or logic, APC Zombies and their merry-band of gullible serfs and programmed robots will resort to hackneyed labels and worn-out cliches whenever they're faced with the spine-chilling reality of their hero's utter worthlessness to humanity.

Guy, let's bet - The next line of defence those zombies will adopt will be looking for old posts on the corruption in Wall Street, Manhattan, COMPLETELY oblivious to the fact that The Wall Street Journal (a print media division of Rupert Murdoch's FOX/NewsCorp) is totally different from "Wall Street" (The New York Stock Exchange).

Now I'm so thankful that Buhari actually won; because if he hadn't, many of his butt-lickers would have been pestering us with things like "If only Buhari had won that election, things would have been better by now, kwarrapt people would have been jailed, electricity would have been 90 billion megawatts!"

But today, he has been given the benefit of doubt, and the whole world has come to see him for the empty dunce he is.
ZERO MEGAWATTS, DOUBLE DIGIT INFLATION, HEALTH TOURISM.
The universe has confirmed he's a m00ron.

So, instead of making utter buffoons of themselves on the internet, his supporters should join Indiana Jones, Lara Croft and Dora The Explorer, in the search for Buhari's certificate.

Really?..Oga..why are you still dying to defend your boss when the whole world knows the fraud behind his lower school certificate..you said he has even attained much higher academic qualification so so what ever this is about is irrelevant...funny enough , aside from the school cert, what did he use to apply for those programms back then to clim up the ladder of his career? was it is not thesame fake certificate that does not exist?..see let us call a spade a spade and stop being unecessarily bias and partisan...i remember that when i was about to collect my university certifcate..we were asked to buy a WAEC/NECO scatch card in other to confirm the authenticity of our initial result we used in gaining admission into the university..i also recalled that some people we disqualified from collecting their certificate becasue O Level result did not exist in WAEC/NECO..so that means all thier years of labour in the university was null and void becos the foundation was faulty from the very begining ..so Mr man what exactly are you saying...we are not kids nor zombies..say that to those that choose to remain blind followers

What else do I we expect from wall street. People are entitled to their opinion and this will not be an exception.

However, the fight against corruption will always be seen as one sided, especially when those that have benefited from the corruption are being affected. However, my question has always being, those accused did they tamper with the public funds? Have they been charged to court? Even the case against Dasuki, Dasuki himself if given another opportunity will not like to be involve in the alleged corruption. Anyway, I will encourage the wall street and their operators to please forgive Buhari and encourage their country to return all looted funds in their custody. Well, I am tempered to believe that it will not happened, but they are striving on these looted loot.

Secondly, I am sure the visit to china by PMB will definitely not go down well with the west. Hence, they will through all sort to Nigeria. But, will US or western be willing to loan money to Nigeria without an interest? That will be another miracle like crossing the red sea in the bible.

Thirdly, when the US and other western world refuse to sell arms to the last administration to fight Boko haram, the wall street never said any thing against their government. Although, I have some reservation concerning the way the last administration handled some issue relating to BH.

For record purpose, the corruption that led to global melt down in 2006, started from wall street USA not from any African countries. As I write corruption is still going on in wall street.

For me, it depends on Nigeria to either accept the challenge to fix her country or allow others to destroy their characters, all in the name of get at PMB. PMB will come and go, but Nigeria will continue to live.

God Bless Nigeria

We are not wailing for GMB to show us his certificate (you can't give what you don't have) But to let the world know the scam that he is.

We need to let future generations know that Once upon a time, A Nigerian President was scammed into office without a basic WAEC Certificate

Posterity and future generations need to know That a President was asked to show his WAEC Certificate but he rather went to bring 13 SANs.

A refinery takes more than a year to build. So if within six months,our refinery started working,it means there was some truth in what the past administration said concerning repairing our refineries.

If this man should fail, Nigeria will be set back by another four years.
