GEJ.....

Amya:
Defamation either through slander or libel is a tort, not a crime. When you have some strong proof that someone wrote a libelous publication about you, you can sue for damages. You can not arrest, detain or lock someone up for defamation or Ban a media outfit. It's a completely civil matter that ends in retraction or damages.

Now for people in the public eye, it harder to sue successfully for defamation unless that they have ironclad proof that the publication was written maliciously, then the case might end in their favour. Public figures voluntarily place themselves in a position that invites close scrutiny, whereas private citizens who have not entered public life do not relinquish their interest in protecting their reputation. So it's easier for a private citizen to win a lawsuit on defamation.

Again, so you know, you can not arrest someone for defamation, rather you bring a lawsuit which can only end in damages and retraction, not ban or jail. That's one of the beauties of democracy. Buhari goofed on that one.

The rule of law deeply entrenched in our constitution is what holds supreme in this day and age. Thank you.

I doff my hart for you....

barcanista:
the General's never meant "ban" literarily, he actyally mean the law will take it cause. It is not about stiffling, its about bringing offenders of the law to book. If they publish malicious article, they should be able to defend their publication or face the law. This to me is how societies are run. We have existing laws. Even the FOI is restrictive, some information can't be divulged to the Press or any citizen.

Lol

Again

barcanista:
I don't know why people are misrepresenting and twisting the words of Gen Muhammadu Buhari. As a citizen I am 100% in support of Press freedom, so is the General. However, freedom of the Press shouldn't be absolute otherwise they will be used to cause anarchy. If the press have anything against any public officer and they are really sure about it, they should publish it and allow for Government prosecution. They have to be sure and not gossip or be used to persecute officers on the pages of newspapers. However, false reportage using "our source" that will neither give a lead nor help a cause, and also fabricating news and ascribing to public officers should not only be discouraged but should be criminalised. The Whistle Blower act should be passed/strenghtened to protect those with valuable information. The Press needs to carry their jobs with ethics and checks like other professions. All arms of government have forms of checks and balance. We need to protect government officers too from false and malicious embarrassment.

Lol

I have meticulously read all the comments here to see those of barcanista, Omenka, obiagelli, egift, Berem, etc, but to no avail.

Maybe if the thread can be pushed to the Fp, they will comment.

PS: What makes this interview really chilling is that look on the face of Buhari- such disgust and disdain expressed for the freedom of the press- for anything he hasn't approved personally. And to think that this interview was not done in 1983, but RECENTLY !!!

Fund raising??

Wasn't this the same tin PDP did that day and all d APC fowl mouths started badmouthing??

#bladdiHYPOCRITES

Finally, Buhari would talk on real issues for almost 2 hours.

So hapiiiiiiiiiii

Way time on that day abeg??

teval:
@taharqa: Wtf.. did you know Dr. Peter Onu personnally to say a thing about Corruption? Your parents and grandparents are %^$# corrupt.
Lay off the false acccusations dude.. let the man rest in peace. I find it appalling to have my father all of a sudden the topic of your nasty politricks... lay to fu%$ off.

Guy, cool down and read that comments again. This time without emotions be clouding your judgment.

Cheers

By the way, Fashola na scam. He is just saying this to divert attention from ongoing questions on how he has spent his own portion of the SURE-P fund.

The FG receives just 41% of the total SURE-P funds, while most of the rest 51% go to States and las. While we can point at very visible projects that the FG uses its own portion of, smone should tell me what Fashola and most other States have used their own for??

PS: SURE-P (federal) , like You in, is one of the programs of this Gov that has work. Anybody with an opposing view can take me up on this, as long they are also willy to tell me what their State Govts have done with their own portion of the fund

Mynd44:
Did you forget, courts are on strike thanks to the FG

No!!

It is thanks to State Govts like the one Fashola is heading.

The FG has already implemented the rulings of the Appeal court or is it Industrial courts for its workers. Most State ls have however refused to do so.

Shebi you be Mod b4??

sincerenigerian:
Now you've heard it from PDP Governor of bauchi State. The attack was planned by PDP and I was the first person to report that here three days ago. Their plan is to make APC and Buhari look bad. This was a calculated move by PDP in order to turn off voters in the South against Buhari and APC.

This is similar to the fraud of a hack they claimed happened yesterday to Ministry of Defense webpage. PDP and Jonathan are desperate. When you are desperate, you do bad thing without thing about consequences of your action.

This is going to backfire, big time.

,

What sort of a useless translation is this?? Does it make any sense to you??

Someone else should please translate it properly. Can't believe a single thing these APC propagandists say or rather translate until proven otherwise.

After the translation, I would like to know which of the attacks Yuliya we referring to: was it the one on the President's convoy or the one on the campaign grounds or others??

lol....

The COS to Ameachi says they would report the matter to the international community

That moment when the talkative little stubborn twaat gets into another fight and gets thoroughly beaten and bloodied, picks himself up, removes the dirts and cries pointedly in a thin shrill voice to the guy who just bested him: 'I go tell my mama for you '..

GEJ......

Jarus:
I'm pro-Buhari and I have never hidden that.

However, I have ability to rise above my personal choices.

I will accept to be the Chairman of Debate Committee if offered.

Offer not accepted.

You must be very fooooolish yourself if you think thee is any chance we on Team GEJ would allow you 'chair' a supposed debate between us and your team

PointB:
I consider this as clever ploy to douse some of the heat being generated in Nairaland by the current burning issue - Buhari's certificate or lack of it!

Not taking the bait!

Allow them to dey waste their time there.

Dem nova See anything sef.

We will continue to ask very very HARD questions about the 'integrity', character and frankly, soundness of Buhari.

We are just gerrin started

Bwahahahahahaha.......

buhari don suffer sha
Chai!!!!!!!

mailmalc:
[size=13pt]Result or no result, he FAILED MATHS! he should have a quick resit because I don't see how you gain admissions without a credit in Maths and English[/size]

If what he did is legal, why did he not update his records with the Military by providing them with a statement of result or certificate. Rather he swore a false affidavit and backed it up with a letter of recommendation stating he WILL pass. GEJ is slow but I won't eat grass because I am tired of burnt rice.

This is what I have been asking since yesterday too.

How can anybody say he passed SSCE if he FAILED MATHS ie F9 o, not even P7 or E8??

Even if we were to accept the statement of result they submitted, then we must also accept that GENERAL BUHARI FAILED HIS SCHOOL CERT AND SO SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ENLISTED INTO THE OFFICERS CORP OF THE NIGERIAN ARMY IN THE 1ST PLACE Nor SHOULD HE HAVE RISEN UP THE LADDER TO BECOME A GEBERAL AND A HOS.

agreed??

So that means that dat computer printout that APC and Premium times shown us didn't come from Cambridge University as was apparently claimed and then parrots here in Narailand!!!

Did lies they are blowing sha, there is......

So it's true....

Let me say what I haven't said b4:

buhari is a very dangerous person, esp cos he is just so self-involved and unpredictable.


@richkid, tanks much

I need to go find out more about this sha

But if it is true...

But Dr Peter Onu was kworrupt na WHILE the fulani man from Niger, Idi Omaro, was not kworrupt gan.

And you know that our ever blameless General cannot support Kworrupsion sam sam

Buhari show us your certipikate na.

But o, shee WAEC does not give certipikate to people who score F9 in Maths

Lol

I wonda why Fashola was not nominated,

Lol

Of course, d Nigeria military is way better than d Cameroon in army.

But we won't even be having this discussion if the Nigerian Army didn't make it a habit those days to enlist ILLITERATES like Buhari into its ranks upon the mere promise of his principal that he believes 'he WILL pass his School Cert including English and Mathematics '

Liar Mohammed wants us to pardon Buhari for not having certificate??

NEVER!!!!

Bookmarked

Buhari DULL o

Bwahahahahahaha.....

See bladdi Result

No wonder!!!!!!!!!

Make una no get too excited too early. Buhari is not out of the woods yet.

He had an F9 in Maths, assuming we even believe the said pasted result.

He was therefore never qualified, No??

OrlandoOwoh:
Why are you dumb? Even today some courses in the humanities accept a pass in Mathematics.

O boy, he FAILED it- as in F9.

He was not supposed to proceed anywhere, except it was not same thing then as obtained today.

By d way, d result I believe will be scrutinize later, then we go start to dey debate am

If this statement of result true, does it means Buhari NEVER actually passed his ssce Cos he FAILED MATHS??

Abi, do you not have to pass Maths and English b4 you are said to pass WAEC?? How then was he qualified to enter Into the military in the 1st place? He certainly didn't met the promise his principal gave on recommending him to the military that he 'will pass Maths, English and other relevant subjects'

MI

It's your choice pretty girl.

That's why it is called democracy.

All d best.

beopened:
Check out the results for all the states here
http://nigeriaelections.org/presidential.php

The calculation was done based on all the actual votes scored by all the parties which amounts to 2,673,228......and not 440666+1624543 that you did up there

(440666/2673228)*100% will give you % scored by GEJ..........dont forget that Shekarau also contested the election and scored 526,310 even in that kano state

Alright!

You were right!!
