rigarmortis:
the prerequisite to a higher degree/diploma is your SSCE, but if you were smuggled into NDA by quota system, after maybe 2years in secondary school without even attempting WAEC, all other certificates become null, till you present the minimum certificate with is the o' levels.

now knowing all this why does the able general still find it hard to show us a copy, even if its lost, a man of his calibre can request DIRECTLY from WAEC, the worst is that the will bill you from the time issued till date, surely the ''at least'' one million naira will pay for that.

another option is to visit his secondary school, collect a testimonial or statement of result with a covering letter attached to an affidavit, they will be very willing to do so, he can even write through them to waec to request for his papers.

after NDA any other military degree is based on your country's recommendation, so you are not screened and it is a certificate course, just like your company recommending you for training overseas.

all said, I still wonder why our able general is pussyfooting about this cert issue

It is crystal clear on the website of the war college that you will be screened. Go there and educate yourself.

Anybody that schools in the US understand that a plaque with the name of a class will only show the list of the graduating students (either as an international fellow or an instructor or whatever)

who cares if your name is in the international school of Kafanchan?

You cant even type simple and correct English and you want to see a certificate. Are you sure you wold be able to read it?

a typo of "thing" does not make me buhari who called his running mate a man of impeachable character

Kundagarten:
Is this a joke or what?

Only in Nigeria will a presidential candidate present this as certificate, what happened to the original copy? He can't get the war college to give him another copy?

And why did he go with Shekau?

Mischief maker. Continue

Academic Policies and Procedures

Undergraduate Transcripts

The USAWC requires students to submit verification of a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited institution. Official transcripts must be sent directly from the undergraduate institution to the USAWC Registrar's Office. Students are responsible for requesting their transcripts in time for them to arrive no later than 31 July. Have transcripts mailed to: Registrar's Office; 122 Forbes Avenue; B 21; Carlisle, PA 17013.

Note: The USAWC is a Master's granting institution. We are required to maintain proof of students' baccalaureate degrees. Do not send any graduate transcripts.

Eligibility and Admissions

Military
Military students are selected to attend the USAWC by their respective Services. Selected students are considered to hold considerable potential for promotion and future service in positions of increasing responsibility. Officers are eligible for attendance after being promoted to O-5, through their 25th year of service. Applicants must have completed the Command and General Staff College, or equivalent, and should possess a baccalaureate degree. The USAWC does not accept individual applications into its Senior Service College programs except through special exceptions. Students are centrally selected by their component, thus USAWC receives its list of students by component, rather than receiving and processing individual applications. AR 350-1 governs Senior Service College selections for active duty Army, U.S. Army Reserve (USAR), and U.S. Army National Guard (ARNG).

Senior Service College is voluntary for all Troop Program Unit (TPU), Individual Ready Reserve (IRR), Individual Mobilization Augmentee (IMA) officers, and Active Guard Reserve (AGR) officers. Eligible and interested AGR officers and non-AGR officers must submit a packet per the annually published "application instructions." Application instructions reside on the Reserve Human Resources Command web page under the HRC-St. Louis section at www.hrc.army.mil.

Within the USAR, the Chief, Army Reserve (CAR) convenes a board annually in October that selects and ranks by competitive category qualified officers in the AGR program, TPU program, and IMA program. The board lists selected officers as either a primary or an alternate in an Order of Merit List (OML) for either the resident program or distance education program. The CAR is the approving authority for the board's recommendation and the results are usually announced in mid-December to early-January.

Within the ARNG, the annual selection process starts with each state inviting all eligible colonels and lieutenant colonels to apply and submit required documents. The application and documents, along with the individual's personnel 201 file, are reviewed by a state board of colonels with the Assistant Adjutant General presiding over the board). The board develops an Order of Merit List (OML) that the Adjutant General approves.

Each Adjutant General provides the list to the National Guard Bureau where a national board is convened. This board is made up of colonels and presided over by the Deputy Director of the Army National Guard. Two OML are then developed: Resident OML (with an alternate OML) and Distance Education OML (also with an alternate OML). The Chief, National Guard Bureau (CNGB) approves these lists.

The Resident and the Distance Education OMLs (but not the alternate lists) are released to the states. The State Joint Force Headquarters of each state notifies the selected officers for both programs in the beginning of the year. The officer will accept or decline enrollment for the following academic year. Final lists are released to the Senior Service Colleges in March for both programs.

International Fellows
The Chief of Staff of the Army invites International Fellows (IF) from select countries to attend the USAWC REP and DEP each year. These programs offer an opportunity for IFs to participate in seminars, study, research, and write on subjects of significance to the security interests of their own and allied nations. The IFs establish mutual understanding and good working relationships with senior U.S. officers and senior officers of other foreign countries and enrich the educational environment of the USAWC. Since the IFs are immersed in U.S. culture, they have an opportunity to improve their firsthand knowledge of the U.S. and its institutions through study and travel throughout the Nation.

Civilians
Department of the Army Civilians (DAC) who wish to attend the program must apply according to the standards in AR 350-1. Other services should contact their appropriate personnel office to determine eligibility and admission procedures.

Department of the Army Civilians 
Student allocations are available in the REP and DEP each year for DACs. Civilians are selected through a centralized selection board similar to Army officers. To attend the USAWC, DACs must be at the grade of GS/GM-14 or higher. Civilians under the National Security Personnel System (NSPS) mustbe in an equivalent p

I am just an observer,not a supporter of either candidate
However,l think APC and Buhari are not being smart about this certificate thing
The whole drama is becoming worse;could play into the hands of PDP,and undermine Buhari's credibility
lf you have the original certificates,why don't you just present it and silence the detractors once and for all!
Citing honours list and former classmates won't cut it
The only credible proof of school attendance is certificate
Just present the damn certificates and focus on other aspects of the campaign,lest you be derailed
Then again,what certificates did he present in the previous elections?
why the certificate drama this time around??

GEJ can never get an international fellowship with his PhD in the US.

At best he would be a security guard.

He should thank his stars that he is a politician presiding over a nation with hopeless and dumb citizens

Aigipan:


And he has a sworn affidavit that his academic records (since his credentials are missing) are with the military. Are they denying it?

the army said they have his military records not his original certificates, which implicate Buhari as a certified liar but your Oga can go ahead and contest

and are you his brother or certificate keeper to know if he really had any?

APC apologists are dullards, this is a scroll of honour due to his participation in security research and study on nations security. He was only fortunate to have been selected to represent Nigeria in 1980.

Arrant nonsense....OP is dis how ur certificate looks like

tit:
It looks like Buhari was not a student at the US War College.
He went there to either teach the generals there or do some research.

You people can never be tired. So, an 'illiterate' can teach Generals and do research.

rozayx5:

So since they have his records (academic and military) and his sworn affidavit listed enough credentials that allows him to contest for the president of the republic. What are you asking for exactly?

Are you too slow to see how illogical your argument is?

kelvin100:
Quick questions:

1:Does it mean that attending an institution is equivalent to obtaining a certificate/degree?

2: What is stipulated in the constitution? Attendance or a certificate?

3: Will this now set a precedence that I can now apply for that job I like that requires a Doctorate Degree because I can present a verifiable list of my classmates though I didn't graduate?

Please I still need answers for my questions.

temitemi1:
We asked for his cert nt the list of his war class mates... Buhari where is ur certificate?? GEJ till 2019!!

Thank you. The OP has just made a fool of himself by posting a plague as substitute for Secondary School Certificate. One major fallout from this is that most APC supporters on Nairaland are hypocritical, mischievous and myopia-afflicted. My only regret is wasting my data replying some of their inconsistent, malicious and incongruous posts. GEJ TILL BUHARI SWEARS ANOTHER AFFIDAVIT SAYING HE DOESN'T HAVE WASCE.

tit:
this people want make i laff fall comot from table!

Olorun! them tell you to bring your certificate you go bring plaque!
Next your go bring convocation program!
You never hear of people wey them print their name for convocation program but them no graduate?

Buhari is an illiterate.

if you have proof that he graduated from any secondary school which is the minimum requirement, present it - if you dont then hide your head in shame, have a nice day

sucotina:

So an illiterate was selected to represent the country in a program that include areas ranging from military concepts and doctrine to national and theater level strategies?

I asked my uncle who went to the same US War college with Buhari, and he said admission is usually granted to men with experience in the absence of a certificate. And just so we are clear, my uncle attended his with certificates, 4years after Buahari and co. Hope I cleared the air? GMB is still not cleared.

Oklander:
Its a proof that he HAD the certs as at then.

Bro you are daft as in eh.

Now I know you guys are sick. Mtcheew!

Ifecomumito:

Who told you that the military is with them?
As far as I know the military denied having anything to do with his certs.THAT'S ALL

As far as you know? Stop showcasing ignorance then and go learn more!

Missy89:
Now this should put the matter to rest

From the list it can be seen clearly that he isnt a graduate....... but an international fellow.





he came, he saw but he didnt graduate.




APC you guys need to try harder than this.




last bullet: NA USA college dey give school leaving certificate for nigeria now

This is irrelevant. School certificate is the prerequisite and the foundational base of other certificates whether Msc or PhD. Buhari must produce his school certificate to ascertain his educational base or he will be deemed to have worked his way out into the military through corrupt practices.

Let him submit his primary school certificate

Is this a joke or what?

U haven't read the interview of 1 d mad Men that screened APC presidential candidates... Saying that a final year drop out and the the eventual graduate are in the same educational standing

I then recollect the song we do sing back then in sec school days if we realise our classmates are teaching each other rubbish or dating. Our yoruba teacher use the song on my friend and his girlfriend then
Obo(monkey) ngbe (carry) obo(monkey) gun (climb) ope(palm tree), odo (dullard) nko (teaches) odo(dullard) ni odo((zero)

Ape pee see screening :dullards screening dullard

Nija I hail thee,but is this the first time this man is contesting as a presidential candidate in this country? So all this years back no certificate is needed to contest. Don't politician to turn us into a fool. U may decide not to vote for GMB but don't cast ur vote into a lake of corruption again. Vote wisely.

NOT your certificate!
