Contrary to reports that African Language Papers were not written when Buhari 'said' he wrote his O'level, University of Cambridge Examination Syndicates have actually confirmed that African Language Papers WERE written!

http://cambridgeassessment.org.uk/news/statement-in-response-to-nigerian-presidential-election-enquiries/.

I was on my way to work on the morning of Monday, January 26, when my friend, Sodiq Alabi, sent me a Facebook message asking me how to contact THISDAY newspapers since I am more familiar with newspaper houses as a regular contributor to issues in national dailies.

Sodiq included in the message a web link to an article in THISDAY newspaper with the title, “Cambridge University: Hausa Language Not Offered in 1961 Exams”. I opened the article to see these lines:

“The controversy over the secondary school results of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, continues as the  University of Cambridge has said that Hausa Language, which is one of the subjects listed by Buhari, was not offered in its examinations in 1961.

“The disclosure was contained in a statement from the office of the Director of the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation claiming it came through an e-mail dated Thursday, January 22, 2015 from the institution’s Archives Delivery Service Officer, Jacky Emerson, to one SODIQ ALABI who requested for confirmation if the examination body offered Hausa Language in the 1961 West African Certificate Examination it organised.

“Emerson, in his one-sentence reply, said: “According to the Regulations for 1961, African Language papers, including those for Hausa, WERE NOT included for West African School Certificate.”

“This development may have further cast doubts on the certificate which is purported to be General Buhari’s.  He is yet to react to the assertion by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Organisation that the document (the published certificate) was forged and illegally procured.” (Capitalizations mine)

Sodiq was shocked such falsehood was attributed to him by Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode and wanted to contact the Editor of THISDAY for such wicked misrepresentation. Sodiq Alabi (sodiqalabi@hotmail.com) had written an email to Cambridge Assessment, the brand name of University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicates, on January 22, 2015, 13.31 hours, to confirm whether Hausa was truly offered by it in 1961 examinations. By 4.10pm same day, Jacky Emerson (archives@cambridgeassessment.org.uk), Archive Services Delivery officer of Cambridge Assessment, replied thus: “Dear Sodiq Alabi, According to the Regulations of 1961, African Language papers, WERE SET for West Africa School Certificate.”

A screenshot of this email exchange was shared with us on Facebook by Sodiq and it went viral on the internet. The email triggered other Nigerians to send emails to Cambridge Assessment for independent confirmation and the school came out with a release on its website the next day. In the release titled, “Statement in response to Nigerian Presidential election enquiries”, the school stated, “The organisation also confirmed that according to the Regulations for 1961, African Language papers, including those for Hausa WERE SET for the West African School Certificate.” Here is the link to the Cambridge Assessment website where this confirmation was published: http://cambridgeassessment.org.uk/news/statement-in-response-to-nigerian-presidential-election-enquiries/.

It is however surprising that Femi Fani-Kayode went ahead to alter the content of Sodiq’s email in his press statement to, “According to the Regulations for 1961, African Language papers, including those for Hausa, WERE NOT included for West African School Certificate.”, and still quoted the email as the source.

It is very unfortunate that this is the man speaking for the President’s re-election campaign. How do we believe every other “fact” he has quoted has not been altered as well? It is a shame.

It is also very unfortunate that our newspapers have gone to sleep and investigative journalism is at its lowest ebb in Nigeria. How will Femi Fani-Kayode not be feeding newspaper reporters with lies when he knows how lazy some of our journalists have become? This is not an advertorial that does not require independent confirmation. All THISDAY and Daily Post that reported this Fani-Kayode’s glaring lie needed to do is to seek out Sodiq or confirm from Cambridge – which had posted a confirmation statement on conduct of Hausa language in 1961 WASC on its website since January 23, two days before Fani-Kayode came up with this lie – and ask for their side of the story.

It is particularly curious that I had, in an earlier article sent to THISDAY, which was published in its January 25 edition, attached a screenshot of the email from Sodiq to buttress some other arguments, so THISDAY editors, at least their OP-ED editor, could not have claimed not to have seen the original content of Sodiq’s email before Fani-Kayode’s alteration.

This is not the first time President Jonathan’s men are forging or altering documents to demonize anyone perceived as the President’s “enemy”. His New Media Assistant, Reno Omokri, was also busted in February last year, when he hid under a pseudonym, Wendel Simlin, to send false but damaging reports to newspapers to demonize the then just suspended Governor Lamido Sanusi of Central Bank. A dig into the source of the computer used in typing the document showed it was a certain Reno Omokri that authored it!

Oga ooo

Democratic govt indeed

Nawa 4 una sef. If buhari piss, una go say hin piss no get salt, if he shit, una go say hin shit no smell well, hence, he's nt qualified to be president.

Chayi!!!

Ok! We know we have a Govt. who obviously can't
fight the insurgency.

But then, will the whole world just sit and watch
Nigeria BURN

This is really saddening. I don't stay in the north but
I can imagine how life will be so miserable for
people living there. All they do is live in perpetual
fear everyday of their lives, hoping not to be the
next victim!

Has any1 of us eva imagined wat it'll be like if d
insurgency was happening right under our own
nose? Try to imagine the FEAR, UNCERTAINTY,
HOPELESSNESS, DEATHS around you, WAILING,
GNASHING of teeth, MENTAL DISORDER et.al

I'm just thinking that for everyone that loves Nigeria, we should start a campaign and reach out to the rest of the world. We honestly can't continue like this.

Nawao! News of how many years? Now I honestly believe PDP's reign is OVER!

For everyone that saw the Governorship Debate that that brought Fashola in, you'll know Jimi Agbaje is an intelligent fella! Intelligence oozes out of every pore on his skin. But meehn, Fashola was still the better man that day. That guy's intelligence is outta this world!

I honestly hope JK wins. Lagos is not one man's land, hence, the need to give others a chance. Any which way, EKO O NI BAJE O!

Well, etcetra isn't far from the truth but what I keep asking is "Do we then fold our arms and let them run Nigeria as they like?". Till we get things right in the system, I believe we should keep giving fresh people a try. Once they fail us, let's make dem realise that we are powerful than they can ever imagine by voting out and voting in politicians.

The more reason why I have a slight bias for GMB is simple...

"GEJ has failed. GMB isn't the change we need"

While the former statement is a FACT, the latter is an ASSUMPTION. God bless Nigeria!

Beta pikin!

MUST READ - A Great Message: Gen Buhari Tweets From His Heart This Morning (07/01/15)

“Good morning, my friends. Before we kick off our rallies in Port Harcourt this morning, let us talk, Nigerian to Nigerian – GMB”

“Many of you believe something is wrong with Nigeria. Some of you have given up. You think this country can not be good; cannot get better.”

“And so you forgive politicians for stealing and for mediocrity – because you say to yourselves, “they are all thieves, they are all selfish”

“and nothing will change.” But is that really true? It is not.”

“Many people ask me: why am I running for office again? And I ask them – “What has changed since I began this mission?”

“Can you honestly, truly say to yourself that our country has changed for the better? Are our children safe when they go to school?”

“Are our parents safe when we leave them at home? Is the naira in your bank account of greater value today than it was four years ago?”

“People accuse me of many things. But one thing they never accuse me of is corruption. They never accuse me of mediocrity, or of lying.”

“I have led this country and I have a record. We were not perfect, but we were effective; we solved problems, and we made Nigerians proud.”

“In our government, we fought corruption, we stabilised the naira, and we shut down insurgencies. ‪#‎ThingsMustChange‬”

“We shouldn’t forget so soon that there was Maitatsine ravaging the north east and we dealt with it. We also overran the Chadian rebels.”

“We rebuilt industries, Nigerians queued up and treated each other with respect; Nigerians took pride in our reputation for discipline.”

“The world admired us. We were proud to be Nigerians. #ThingsMustChange”

“Because they can’t attack our record, they accuse me falsely of ethnic jingoism; they accuse me falsely of religious fundamentalism.”

“Because they cannot attack our record, they accuse us falsely of calling for election violence – when we have only insisted on peace.”

“Even as Head of State, we never imposed Sha’riah. All my running mates have been either Igbo or Yoruba and always Christian.”

“I have and will continue to condemn those who burn God’s places of worship, be they churches or mosques and wish God’s judgment upon them.”

“As your President, their punishment won’t stop there, we will also ensure Boko Haram and other such elements, are found, are arrested”

“and face the full wrath of the law as punishment for their crimes against our country. #ThingsMustChange”

“So don’t let anyone blind you with fear so they can continue to plunder our resources, and keep you away from our common wealth.”

“How can 219 girls be missing in our country, and our leader appears incapable of action? #ThingsMustChange”

“How can 12 young people die because they were looking for jobs in Abuja and justice is not met? Several corruption scandals unsolved.”

“How can we allow the cowards of Boko Haram take over any part of this country – a sovereign state? #ThingsMustChange”

“What is going on here? In this our country? In a country that belongs to all of us? #ThingsMustChange”

“My dear friends, this is very important to note: It doesn’t matter if you are Igbo, Yoruba, Ijaw, Hausa, Idoma, Efik, Ekwere, Urhobo, Igala”

“And, no, it does not matter if you are Christian, Muslim, animist or atheist: we need a new direction under a new leadership.”

“This is why I am running for the office of the president of Nigeria. This is my promise. #ThingsMustChange”

“This is my promise: We will work hard and fast for you. Our children will go to school and they will return safe.”

“Corruption will be a thing of the past and we will ensure that wealth goes around our citizens in an equitable manner.”

“Government will conduct itself in a disciplined and responsible manner; we will identify problems and fix them. #ThingsMustChange”

“The task ahead will be challenging and daunting, but it is surmountable. This is what leadership is about. #ThingsMustChange”

“My only desire is to prove to you that Nigeria can truly work. Allow me prove to you that in your lifetime, you can be proud of this country”

“Let me make you this promise today: We will protect your children. We will protect your wealth. We will make this country work again.”

“Thank you and God keep us all. Vote APC. Vote ‪#‎Change‬.”

“I am Muhammadu Buhari, and I am running for President to change this country, for good. – GMB”
