Hahahaha in Nigeria if you want to be a Medical Doctor just get admission reach 5 or final year u are a Medical Doctor. You don't need MBBS certificate. Jamb admission letter, alone .
Just swear affidavit that u reached final year, gbamsolutely!!!

Is that really what the judiciary said

Why are people like this ? What did the court rule in the case of Adeleke, the dancing senator in Osun state? Adeleke never sat for waec yet the court ruled that he is qualified. This man that I am not sure went to secondary at all talk more of a retired army general that went to many training abroad, still u guys are saying that he does not have certificate. Mtcheeeeew....... Pdp always wail when the law did not favour them . What happened in zamfara state is a clear case of how pdp are. Why didnt they reject the ruling since they did not even score up to 20% pf casted votes in the governorship election? Yeye people! PDP.... Cry me a river ! Cry me a Lagoon ! And finally cry me an atlantic ocean!!

meethumb:
Yul Edochie, Governorship Candidate of Democratic Peoples Congress (DPC) in 2017 Anambra gubernatorial election, has reacted to the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal verdict between President Muhammadu Buhari of APC and Atiku Abubakar of PDP.

Buhari had yesterday, defeated the Presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar, who dragged him to court challenging President Buhari's qualification to contest for the election.

The Tribunal in their rulings, stated that there was no law that disqualified President Buhari from contesting the 2019 elections.

Reacting, Mr. Edochie, a Nollywood actor, recalled how he gathered "all his certificates up to University degree and attach them to the form he submitted to INEC", in bid to contest for the 2017 Anambra state governorship election.

If he did not read the requirements before now then he is one of the half baked ignorants. No enlightened mind should be surprised. Those requirements have been there since 1998.

However, Nigerians themselves can pass a resolution on the requirements by choosing to vote only those they perceive as being more than qualified to do the job.

Perception is different from law

The clearly state that anyone running for the position of the president should be able to prove He/she studied up to secondary school level before running for public school.

>Buhari can read and write (that is a prove)

>Buhari has attained the level of General in the Nigerian Army

>Buhari submitted a Waec Attestation to the Court and a picture showing when he was in school

>Buhari had numerous training in the military.

Bear in mind, the law was made to enable anyone who is intelligent enough regardless of education background to be able to run for public office.

Inaddition, waivers are possible if a person can prove he/She has worked for more than 10years in the Nigerian civil service.

Obasanjo in 2015 said in an interview that it was a joke to claim a whole military general is not educated or qualified to contest for the position of the president.

I thought PDP's strongest case was the sever before the tribunal judgement.

Apparently, they are now chasing a lost shadow.

Well said
Let's celebrate d sweet victory 2geda.

Wailers should continue wailing...

The problem with many Nigerian is that they are literate and educated but lack comprehension and understanding. The constitution does not require you to have a certificate. I challenge anybody to show where it says you need a certificate or even uses the word certificate. That a certificate is commonly used as proof you have been educated does not mean it is a requirement. A letter of attendance, evidence of school assignments, past school grades, sworn affidavits from ex classmates even photographs are proof. Secondly our educated Nigerians do not seem to understand the meaning of minimum. If the constitution says minimum school leaving and you have university you have exceeded the minimum and you don’t have to show school leaving. In fact if you didn’t go to school at all but went to adult classes and got a diploma you have exceeded the minimum.

Nigerians should argue like people who were properly educated, so you don’t waste your money like Atiku arguing stupidly and senselessly!!!


A certificate is used as proof, it is not the requirement!!!! The requirement is the EDUCATION!!!! A certificate is only one of many ways you can prove you attended school.

exactly ... Because in the case of adeleke all he showed was high school results and was allowed to contest

With due respect, anyone with a brain had realized long ago that this along with certificate was the weakest part of Atiku’s case. I said it right at the onset, you cannot admit to court an illegality. Did they hack the server or did they bribe someone to get the info. To go to court and say you have this info that is supposed to be classified is in itself a breach of national security. Only a fool would go admit to such in court.

Wailers will always cry. Their hero Atiku has only a national diploma certificate. Why are they crying more than the bereaved.

To me, it's not so much about certificate but competence and and ability. Does he have them? A good leader who has no certificate will be welcome. Is he a good leader? That's the contention.

You are correct

The third Judge clearly stated while pronouncing his judgement that hacking into Inec system is a crime i.e. it is an unauthorized document or information.

Hence, it cannot be used as evidence in a court of law.

Odimegwu Ojukwu got enlisted into the Army with a Masters Degree in Modern history before Buhari enlisted into the Army.
How come this Northerners got into the army without the minimum qualifications but rose to the level of General.
THIS IS THE QUESTION

It simply a bad precedent

frankmoney:

I lost any regard for Atiku when he allowed his legal team to challenge Biharis educational qualifications. A man attended a reputable postgraduate war college, his picture is pasted on their website as a notable alumni and you are arguing over secondary school certificate? Even if he didn’t go to secondary school, that he has attended a postgraduate institution exceeds the minimum education qualification and nullifies all these noise about secondary school certificate.

Didn't know that this Yul guy is this dumb o.

Honestly, everyone ought to have a copy of the Constitution to save themselves from avoidable embarrassment.

In everything, remember there is always tomorrow. Sometimes, judgment might be delivered to favour some interest, but at the detriment of the nation and her future.
Base on Mohammed Garba's ruling, someone might set up a hospital and start diagnosing patients. If you inquire to know if the person is a medical doctor, he will stand on the existing ruling to tell you that he don't need to possess a certificate before practicing as a medical doctor.
Muhammadu Buhari might be qualified to vie or assumed the position of president. But the pronouncements of the judge with respect to possession of certificate in his ruling is suicidal to the image and future of Nigeria.

This is one of the worst judicial precedent ever set in the anal history of the third Arm of government. What this ruling meant is that every one is eligible to run for any public office irrespective of qualifications. Ok no issue. Lets go there.

The problem here is that buhari attached a fake certificate which is lieing.

Buhari would have have been qualified If he didn’t add his Waec certificate,but he did and that why he should be dismissed.

this dumb man failed to realize that buhari is far more educated than him..... the American and British schools buhari went to, what did they award?....puff puff?

See my post from April 18

I had always thought Atiku was a crook but basically an intelligent man nonetheless surrounded by inept, poorly bred, poorly educated, glorified area boys. However his actions and those of his proxies (who by implication have his authorization for their actions and utterances) since his defeat are making me question Atiku's intelligence...maybe it's desperation which we know causes people to do and say stupid things but an enlightened man will not be embarking upon the course Atiku is taking.

Firstly you have no legitimate access to INEC servers, so how did you get the info? Did you bribe someone in INEC or did you hack their server? Both are crimes!! The audacity and effrontery to go to a court of law and say "these are the details of the INEC server and this is what is on the server" is befuddling and shows inherent tendency for criminality and impunity by Atiku and those around him. Has it not occurred to Atiku that being in possesion of classified info which was not given to you by INEC shows you have committed a crime? This is like going to the police to report me for stealing your property and then making a statement saying "go to his house, upstairs, turn left, second door, open the second wardrobe door, you will find what you claim I stole! How do you have such detailed info of my house if you yourself have not committed a crime by breaking into my house? Can they not see the stupidity? I could say that actually he planted the evidence because he has just unknowingly admitted in a statement to breaking into my house. If you have access to INEC servers, maybe you are the one who planted these figures there? The FBI, CIA and other crime agencies are constantly breaking the law for instance illegal wiretappping/ bugging of suspects but they will never present evidence gathered through such means in court because they know the wiretapping was illegal.

In all this talk of Microsoft and mac address blah blah, why is nobody asking how did Atiku obtain the info he is presenting? Could it be true that he was planning to rig the election by hacking the servers as many have said and the real reason for the postponement of the election was that INEC had realised their servers had been compromised? Is Atiku having details of the INEc server not proof that he indeed hacked the INEC servers?

And if you cannot present it as a proof, then what happens.
Yes! He he finished secondary school. So, where is the proof?

You clearly need to go back to school, if in all that has been said you still do not understand. Constitution does not require certificate, constitution requires education, it is for you to prove you have the education. One of the ways and the commonly used is a certificate but because it is the most common does not mean it is the only proof or the mandatory proof.

What you are required is to prove the education.

Server was among their case, the main question we asking here is "Does the current President have a waec result?"..i no won dey hear dha Attestation, e dey vex me

You are an illiterate who have refused to comprehend,you have been dragged to the river but you have to drink on your own.

In buhari presidential form he attached and submitted to inec,he attached what is supposed to be a waec certificate.

It is on that basis that pdp is arguing about the genuity of that certificate ,he should prove what he attached and also prove what he has been attaching since 2003.

Now that I have educated you,it’s left for you to comprehend.

Yul my brother, in Nigeria, the higher you go the cooler its become.
office requirement
L.G chairman Phd
state governor Bsc
president waec, NECO

The Khaki boys( soldiers) put the very ambiguous constitution together before handing over to Obasanjo in 1999. Their man is benefiting.

We should as well apply for any federal job without certificate... See it is useless in Nigeria

abi? make we kukuma dey apply for university with waec and jamb attestation ni..

festacman:
It is either Yul Edochie did not listen to the judgment or he did but couldn't grasp the essence of the ruling.

in terms of "concrete witness", the judgement was fair, buh talking bout "concrete evidence or facts", the system died yesterday...

AK481:

Buhari won’t have been qualified If he didn’t add his Waec certificate,but he did and that why he should be dismissed.

Buhari didn't attach any document to his forms

That is what PDP are saying.

Buhari swore an affidavit that he passed Waec/Cambridge exams and that they are with the military.

PDP are claiming it's a lie that he never had the certificate and that he forged the affidavit.

The court told them yesterday that they have to prove that he Indeed was lying beyond reasonable doubt because it I now a criminal case not a civil case anymore.

In a criminal case any random testimony can't be accepted.

Now that I have educated you,it’s left for you to comprehend.

You cannot educate me because you are lacking in knowledge. Understand the difference between your actual waec certificate and certified statement of results and confirmation of results. If I don’t have my certificate and my principal or watch for a certified confirmation or statement of results, it is the same thing for the purposes of election requirements.

For instance till today I don’t have my waec certificate, what I have used all my life is my statement of results.
