I wonder why you have to insult someone over a flexible issue. I attended a federal uni myself, and there even a GST can hold you for as long as it takes you to pass it, be it ten or twenty years. Not to talk of an elective or a departmental course. You go old be that. It varies from institution to institution. It appears you guys saying otherwise attended very lenient ones.

smartty68:
The Senate should be scrutinized carefully and then you'll find out that not only Dino has problems with his certificate

ozoebuka1:
why you no go. stand with am? birds of the Same feather.

esmarcq:
This is the most useless evidence I've ever seen in my whole life, this is Dino's result of 400 level, and from the grades I am seeing up there, he is amongst the good performing students based on GPA. How can one throw hard work of four years to graduate with a falsified result or certificate, any human who have gone through the stress of university will find this nonsense findings baseless, it's obvious Sahara report is dead and are using any means possible to salvage their reputation

EngrKem:
Dino does not v problems in his certificate! It's u that wants to create the problem. Carry over is part of school. More than 55% of people that pass through uni v carry over.
Dino graduated

babyfaceafrica:
lolz..I just dey look the guy...he thijis all of us na indomie generation

EngrKem:
It's only GST that can hold u in a university but a departmental course can be waived. Again once u v passed the maximum nunber of unit, (weather) u pass other courses or not the school will graduate u. I'm not sure school passed through u

osundu:

[s]According to Mike Ozekhome when withdrawing the case from court, he said, "They are withdrawing this case for national peace, not that they can't logically prosecute it. So the accuses and his party should not over rejoice".

An abuja legal practitioner that gave an in-depth insight on this matter, also withdrew the case after he received several threat text messages and calls. Why all these when you have a proof. BTW, if Buhari so much value his certificate, why has he not gone or written to WASC for certificate renewal instead of sworn affidavit. Am sure you sincerely know that no organization in Nigeria can accept sworn affidavit in place of certificate during employment screening.

Just take your time, read and get small sense.

"Because we knew you are a registered card-carrying member of PDP

I am a registered member of the PDP for sure but I am a lawyer and a citizen first and foremost. That my action might end up favoring my party is really beside the point.

So what is the substantive case all about?

I don’t want to go into that in detail because it is still a matter before the court. I will only give you the background which is a matter of public record anyway, without commenting on the specific issues before the court. As everyone now knows from available records at the disposal of the general public, General Buhari registered for the Cambridge West African School Certificate when he was in his final year in Provincial Secondary School, Katsina. He was given an Examination number, but before he could sit for the examination, the Nigerian Army started recruiting with the minimum requirement being possession of a WASC or the equivalent at that time. The recruitment was supposed to be for those who had already sat for their WASC and obtained a certificate, i.e. the High School graduates of the previous year and not for General Buhari’s set who would be qualified to apply the following year after sitting for their WASC. Since he did not have any WASC not having yet sat for the exam, General Buhari got his Principal to issue him a recommendation letter in lieu of his WASC. All these are matters of public records and I am sure you also saw a bromide of that recommendation letter when it was published. General Buhari was enlisted into the Nigerian Army with his Principal’s recommendation letter and not his WASC. Having been enlisted, General Buhari reported at the Army Depot for training and commenced his military career; he never went back to sit for the WASC and that is why the Nigeria Army called a press conference at the height of the controversy and stated unequivocally that no WASC had ever been found in his file. You will recall that the Director of Army Public Relations (DAPR) at their January 2015 press conference said as follows and I quote: “In his personal file in the Nigerian Army, he does not have his original copy of his WASC, nor the Nigerian Army have the certified true copy of his WASC results, neither do we have a photocopy. We don’t have that but we do have other documents to show how he was recruited into the Nigeria Army as was entered on Form 199A”. Needless to say, that “other documents” which the Army has which shows how General Buhari was recruited is the Principal’s recommendation letter. You may also recall that at the height of the controversy in early 2015, some Nigerians wrote to the University of Cambridge requesting the School to furnish them with details of the contents of General Buhari’s file relating to the Cambridge WASC he registered for but the university responded that they can only act at the written request of the candidate himself. General Buhari blatantly refused to request Cambridge to release those details so we could confirm conclusively if he ever sat for the exam he registered for and if any certificate was ever issued to him. Indeed, you may also recall that upon assuming and being sworn into the office of President, one of General Buhari’s first official visits was to England, and the popular joke then which went viral on social media was that he would use the opportunity of that visit to go to Cambridge University and request them to release a copy of his certificate if it ever existed, but that never happened.

This is serious; are you saying the president never even sat for the examination?

I am not the one saying so. The public records say so and the army said as much too. He joined the army with a letter of recommendation from his Principal instead of any WASC and of course this means that his entire career in the army is a complete fraud along with all the ranks he was awarded. He denied some other candidate who was qualified and had his WASC an opportunity of being enlisted into the army and this puts all the ranks obtained and offices held by General Buhari in question.

Considering the serious repercussions this case will have in the polity if the court finds merit in your case, are you not concerned for your personal safety?


Of course, I am concerned and my family and friends are too; I am not naïve and some subtle threats have already been made. For now it is small comfort that if anything happens to me, even if disguised as an accident or anything, Nigerians will know exactly who is responsible. In any case, it was Professor Wole Soyinka, I think, who once said in one of his books that The Man Dies In Him Who Keeps Quiet In The Face Of Tyranny or something of the sort. Speaking of which, I am amazed at the conspiracy of silence by Nigerians. It is astounding not, that in the light of this very apparent rape of our constitution, laws, indeed the very essence of our democracy, all of our civil society advocates and activists have gone deaf and dumb in the face of tyranny. All those voluble persons (and I don’t want to name them; they know themselves and Nigerians know them too), who pretend they are activists or keepers of the moral conscience of the nation astonishingly can’t see or appreciate what is happening. This country really misses Chief Gani Fawehinmi; he was the only fearless, credible, true and genuine conscience of the nation, not the pretenders we have today; all the others only make noise when it suits them and their interests but look the other way once they are compromised. None of us today, can tie Gani’s shoe-laces. Even the Ambassadors in Nigeria of the leading world democracies who would normally make statements on issues of this sort are mute: they have left us to our fate. I think only the British Prime Minister has said something that could be related to this issue when he said that Nigeria has graduated from being corrupt under the previous dispensation to being “fantastically corrupt” under the current President. No corruption can be more fantastic than when the head of a country; it’s President and custodian of its Constitution and laws, illegally and unlawfully ascends into office corruptly and with impunity. You know the saying about when the head of a fish is rotten; the rest is fantastic[/s]".

greggng:
i dont have problem with carry over. the main issue is did he graduate from that school. having carry over is one thing graduating is another. another angle is if the result was forged. time will tell

EngrKem:
U v not said anything. Let buhari show his certificate. Full stop

EngrKem:
It's only GST that can hold u in a university but a departmental course can be waived. Again once u v passed the maximum nunber of unit, weather u pass other courses or not the school will graduate u. I'm not sure school passed through u

sarrki:
Wallahi Dino Don buy market

DonGalilo:
What did u just type? "only GST can hold u in a university ", this statement is a fallacy of hasty generalization.
In the school I graduated from, especially in my department, one carryover in any of your core courses will definitely make u spill over not to talk of three carryovers.
May b u graduated from a private university or one of these schools where they pamper their students.
