‘Buhari’s academic records intact’

on December 30, 2014   /   in News 9:00 pm   /   Comments

By Levinus Nwabughiogu

ABUJA –  Head, Media and Publicity of the Buhari Support Organization, BSO, Dr. Chidia Maduekwe last night debunked the insinuations in most quarters of the society that the academic records of his principal and presidential candidate of All Progressive Congress, General Mohammdu Buhari was in doubt.

Speaking with Vanguard, Maduekwue said it was a well orchestrated strategy by Buhari’s detractors to sway the minds of the public against him, assuring that they would not succeed.

According to him, the opponents, he said were afraid of Buhari’s candidacy hence the smeared campaign against him.

He wondered how a former military Head of State and three times Presidential candidate in previous elections would suddenly be found wanting in his academic qualifications.

“There should be no iota of doubt about General Mohammadu Buhari’s qualification. The records are there. He was not just a school prefect but a Head Boy. In the ages past, you can not enter the military school if there is any questionable mark about your school certificate or WAEC result as it were.

“So, that is clear. Your entry must be on acceptable pass mark before going to the military academy. Of course, the records are there both in Nigeria and outside Nigeria for anybody to cross check. We thank God we now live in the age of online.

“You can google everything. I mean, he couldn’t have run the presidential election for three times…and each time his documentation must be assessed by INEC. But now is the first time they are coming up with that.

. He was not just a school prefect but a Head Boy....

You can google everything?..

So where in the world is Buhari's certificates?

The guy, Maduekwe, who appeared to be another Joe (Ngbati) Igbokwe

is not helping the coupist and sharia brute, Buhari.

Just paste his certificate in plain view for everybody to see.  

If the man has none, which looks like the subtle messages here, say so.

It is on record that all the Hausa-Fulani Islamic army coupists who took turns to 

overthrow Nigeria government, 1970 to 1999, have no college degrees.

Their highest qualifications were "First School Leaving Certificates,"

(FSLC), a primary six certificate.

Buhari is a fraudster, he wangled himself in three times to

contest presidency of Nigeria without required qualifications.

But, he is out of luck this time.  He should withdraw and wait for 

arrest for his numerous crimes.

OE.

My People:

All of the people in the following table in red who ran in 2011 should be able to tell INEC that their certificates (or certifications) are "ON FILE" with INEC,

since they were cleared in 2011.

And there you have it.  We should really move on to more important issues other than burnt or lost certificates.

Is that what applies in your Uni?

The students who passed JAMB but were unsuccessful in your post JAMB test when reapplying simply tell your admissions dept that their school certificates 'are on file'?

Nebu

Why so?

Please hold my hands , as Dominic would say , and explain to me.  

And why don't we extend it: The candidate like Jonathan and his running mate who were cleared by INEC in 2011 should not need to fill any INEC forms in 2015. Same candidates same party. They should just say to INEC our particulars are 'on file'. No?

Joe:

There is no point bringing up my university here.  The analogy is  inappropriate.

If I don't respond to you here, you will think that you have scored a bull's eye.  If I respond, there will be more openings.

So I move on.....INEC has the credentials in question from 2011.  All of these nit-pickings are silly school-boy one-up-manships and njakiri.  Our country is in more serious trouble than certificate veriifcations.

And there you have it.

[Wilson Iguade]

In as much as I love VC Aluko, and respect him a lot. I dare say that Pastor Joe's analogy is very appropriate. I bring this up NOT for the benefit of VC Aluko, but for the benefits of those that look up to him.

My concern (a reasonable one) is to ensure that best practices are applied. Every elections stands alone or is independent from others, thus the rules and guidelines for that election must be adhered to, as promulgated by the agency. So, if INEC says submit fresh application and documentation, just comply - no one forces anyone to serve or hold PUBLIC office. It MUST be done with FREE will and not with an attitude of doing the citizens a favor, which was deeply suggested when Buhari refused to comply with INEC's rules. God bless, and happy new year 2015. Peace! "I"

Wilson,

You "love and respect" VC Aluko, yet you disagree with his' above? You have just confirmed why you should be ignored. If you disagree with straight-forward, obviously-sensible statement of someone you love and respect, whose statement will you ever agree with?

Folks,

Am glad others are saying something similar or exact to what I indicated, here is it:

"The fact that he has run for president on three previous occasions is irrelevant. What if no one at those times bothered to check his academic qualifications? Besides, it's ridiculous to argue that Military Board has his certificates. My guess is that even if they have the certificates, it would NOT be the originals. The onus is on Candidate Buhari and his supporters to put this matter to rest once and for all. Otherwise, it will stick harder than his Islamist and "indiscipline and corruption" public image."

Happy new year all, and God bless. "I"

Dear Prof Aluko:

Happy New Year! I trust you had a Merry Christmas.

I'm a bit puzzled at the (partisan?) rationalizations folks (including you) are making regarding General Buhari's non-compliance with INEC requirements for candidates for elective office to submit their certificates. Please reflect on and/or consider the following tit-bits:

1) In the 1960s when a certain cadet and two of his Northern Nigerian compatriots flunked their promotion exams at the Nigerian Military School, Zaria and were withdrawn from the school, the then Defense Minister, Alhaji Ribadu ordered the British Commandant to reinstate those cadets. The Commandant refused, and an incensed Minister Ribadu ordered the Commandant to leave Nigeria within 48 hours, and he did. The cadets were reinstated and went on to become Major-Generals and coup-plotters and destroyers of Nigerian fledgling democracy.

2) It is not true that cadets had to pass the GCE/WAEC to be admitted into foreign military academies--at least not for cadets from certain parts of the country in the 1960s, any way. There were very many that went on to become commissioned officers in the Nigerian Armed Forces who never had more than G-4 (Government Class Four) testimonial from their school Principals.

3) It is also not true, either, that all military officers who "passed through" local military academies in Nigeria must have passed their School Certificate before their admission. Here's why:

(a) Quite a number of serving officers today do not have their degrees from the Nigerian Defense Academy, Kaduna because they either never completed the required course work or did not have the requisite entry qualifications in the first place, contrary to the admissions criteria. NDA became a degree-awarding tertiary institution in 1985.

(b)Participants (students) who must be army Colonels or equivalent ranks in the Nigerian Air Force and the Nigerian Navy who pass their 48-month Strategic Studies Course at the National Defense College, Abuja at C+ or better grades (very rarely do they award B, let alone A grades) are selected to go on to the University of Ibadan for a six-months top-up course for the Master's degree in Strategic Studies. In 2013, the University of Ibadan rejected a number of these Participants/students because they did not have their School Certificate (particularly a credit pass in English) to the embarrassment of the military authorities in Abuja!

4) In July 2014, the son of a former Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) in Nigeria was shipped back to Nigeria from Pakistan's National Defense Academy with the rank of Sub-Lieutenant. He was in the third year of a four-year degree and commissioning course, but his hosts had had enough of his unruly behavior and they didn't want to jeopardize relations with their Nigerian counterparts by withdrawing him empty-handed (At NDA, Kaduna, you don't even get a transcript if you're withdrawn a week before graduation and commissioning!). Meanwhile, the lad's course mates were still Third-Termers (3rd Year cadets) at the Nigerian Defense Academy--and the brat insisted they must salute him because he's now an officer!. I'm not sure what became of him, but since he's already a COMMISSIONED officer, he's probably going to stay and possibly become a Rear Admiral (equv. Major-General) years from now.

From the foregoing, you can understand why I'm of the opinion that we should not sweep the issue of Maj-Gen Buhari's certificates under the rug. The fact that he has run for president on three previous occasions is irrelevant. What if no one at those times bothered to check his academic qualifications? Besides, it's ridiculous to argue that Military Board has his certificates. My guess is that even if they have the certificates, it would NOT be the originals.

I don't understand, how can a university withdraw a certificate? Am assuming one attended classes or completed the courses, passed the examination - I mean go through the process before earning a certificate. So, how does a university (as indicated below) threaten to "withdraw" a certificate, makes no sense to me, unless the university issued it in error to begin with, and if so why the threat, just correct the mistake and take back the certificate. 9ja sef, nothing is straight there! Hehehe!

Could it be that some of these political candidates may have had their certificates "withdrawn" at some point? Or is it that these certificates never existed? Just curious.

Are you saying the certificate or degree in question was honorary or when a honorary degree or certificate was awarded? If so, it would fall under it being issued in error as I previously indicated, then it can be withdrawn.

Record or no record Nigeria will never return to the CALLIPHATES again. The country is free after almost fifty years of nothingness. Long live FREEDOM.

[Ezeana Igirigi Achusim]

If a university withdraws a certificate, do I have to return the paper? No. But if any inquiries are made at the university, the university will confirm that the certificate was withdrawn. 

And I am

INEC has cleared GMB. The same Vanguard the created the sensational headline is only trying to make amend. 

If our education serve us right we should know that a clueless person can't achieve a General in the Army. Especially with the tough requirement of the various academies and war colleges. 

 Once again Buhari attended & graduated from the United States Army War College 1979-1980, graduates earn a Master's Degree in Strategic Studies.

Wilson:
 
Those are your words, not mine. I never said the certificate in question is honorary. You said that.
 
I am only replying to your earlier post when you said "I don't understand, how can a university withdraw a certificate?", to which I said: If the certificate or degree awarded by the University is honorary, don't you think the University can withdraw it?

Buhari Listed Among World’s Top Army Generals

December 31, 2014 • By admin pmnews

ShareTweet+ 1Mail

General Muhammadu Buhari, the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, has been ranked among the top 25 war generals by the famous U.S. Army War College Alumni.

Buhari is number six on the list. Others are: Generals Colin Powell, a former chairman, U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff; Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe during World War II and one time U.S. President; Walter Bedell Smith, Eisenhower’s Chief of Staff at Allied Headquarters; James Peake, a former U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs and the 40th Surgeon General of the country and Buhari, in that order.

Born in 1942 in Daura, Katsina State, Buhari was trained at the Nigerian Defence Academy, Mons Officer Cadet School, Aldershot, England and the U.S. War College which did the ranking.

One of the criteria for inclusion on the honours list, according to ranker.com is the people must “have gone to U.S. Army War College and be of some renown.”

This list is currently trending in the social media to counter the allegation that Buhari did not have any certificate and that he never passed his military examinations.

Others on the list are: John J. Pershing who led America’s Expeditionary Froces in World War I; Mark W. Clark who, in World War II, Commanded the Allied Fifth Army and Norman Schwarzkopf, who led the coalision forces in the Persian Gulf War.

Also included are Omar Bradley Anthony, Mc Auhffey, Walter Krugger, Lyman Lemnitzer, Richard Myers, Charles T. Menoher, Dean Johnson, Dwayne Alons, John Pappageorge, Walter Shorf and Hubert R. Harmon.

Jack Keane, Floyd Lavinius Parks, St. Clair Streeth, Scott Perry, Frank Corte Jr are also on the list.

That makes him a better soldier and not a politician.. We have had enough of military leadership.

Dear asukuj:

You can be a staunch Buhari partisan without misinforming the public--thereby suggesting that you're simply "padding" your principal's resume.

At the time Maj-Gen Buhari attended the US Army War College, it was NOT a degree-awarding institution. It was only in 2010 or so with the reorganization of the US military institutions (that made the National Defense University the apex military school) that graduates from US Army War College began to obtain degrees--if they write the Master's thesis. Most foreign students (many of whom are on a slightly different track) choose NOT to work for and/or earn the master's degree.

Besides, nomination to study abroad by Nigerian military authorities is one of the most corrupt decisions made in that institution. Sometimes, officers that rank in the third tier of the class are the ones nominated to study overseas or become Nigeria's Defense Attaches abroad. This was especially the case under the watch of folks who became "Generals" merely because they shot at Biafran kwashiokor babies during the civil war.

Perhaps the next time you file your federal income taxes (and you have filed numerous times before), you should simply say your social security number is on file with the IRS (instead of providing it on the tax form).

There is no point bringing up my university here.  The analogy is  inappropriate.

If I don't respond to you here, you will think that you have scored a bull's eye.  If I respond, there will be more openings.

So I move on.....INEC has the credentials in question from 2011.  All of these nit-pickings are silly school-boy one-up-manships and njakiri.  Our country is in more serious trouble than certificate veriifcations.

And there you have it.

Is that what applies in your Uni?

The students who passed JAMB but were unsuccessful in your post JAMB test when reapplying simply tell your admissions dept that their school certificates 'are on file'?

Does Nigerian law (rightly or wrongly) require that candidates for office produce their earned certificates?

These guys can lie. It will be a great danger to hand on the country to APC.

The panel beating of a religious fanatic. Show me the money! One cannot show what he does not have. Just show it and shame the Boko Haram

[asu...@gmail.com]

Well I don't it is too much for an agency to ask for proof of claim as stated in the application form. Come to thing of it the qualification requirement is WASC/GCE whether u pass or fail
