Ironically, that's the person the broom wavers are banking on to fight corruption, when himself is the emblem of forgery and perjury.

Unfortunately, the broom guys will deliberately avoid discussing this issue.

And he just returned from the UK a few days ago!

coolscott:


[size=13pt]But I will post here just to keep it on the first page.
More people ought to see and remember what negative precedence he is trying to set[/size]

coolscott:
[size=13pt]It is hard that being the man of integrity that Buhari claims to be, he does not consider it appropriate to step down from the presidential race on account of his failure to meet one of the basic requirements for running (provision of his secondary school cert).

How does he intend to ensure Nigerians comply with specified requirements on all levels when he popularly failed to comply with specifications that applied to him?

How won't they make light of his efforts (or even laugh at him) when he tries to enforce compliance considering we are talking about Nigerians, whose chronic desire to cut corners in processes is known?
[/size]

mikolo80:


so in your mind a retired general,former governor,former minister,former ptf chairman is not fit to lead because of waec result
wetin your waec result add to you as a person
do you really want us to continue under jonathans less than inspiring leadership(almost three weeks before he acknowledged chibok)
ignored ASUU strike for 6months

[size=13pt]It is simply the laid down requirement.
And somehow he cannot fulfill it. Do you think we knew all these years that he did not have his WAEC?
His failure to clear that issue has painted him in bad light and for somebody who supposedly abhors the breaking of rules, his choice not to do the right thing (either comply or step down) cannot be reconciled with the person he wants us to believe he is[/size]

1stly why not allow the masses choose btw a PH.D holder and the supposed illiterate as you call him?

Why is this supposed illiterate causing your(PDP's) camp so much heat. GEJ should simply go test his popularity against GMB now. Atleast in 2011 when GEJ enjoyed wide support, he never complained of GMB not going to school, why now?


Lastly allow the court decide whether or not GMB is setting a wrong precedent. Don't play the judge.

mikolo80:


how'd he become a general without waec
hell how'd he get admitted into nda without it
and if the incumbents are banking their winning strategy on a "technicality"
then it means they have nothing to offer
yeah we have to choose between two not so great choices
but fact is we have to choose

jamace:
Buhari is enjoying private jets purchased with looted Nigerian money.

coolscott:


But we can see how he became a general without WAEC.
In his file, the military can still not find his WAEC but a recommendation letter from his principal stating “...I consider that he will pass Maths, English and three other subjects."

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/01/army-speaks-buharis-certificates/

What does that tell anybody?

The question is did he ever go back to do the examination?

mikolo80:


so basically you would rather go with 4 more years of jonathan
fine if you are enjoying him
me i am not and will vote almost anything but him
i just want a more competent hand involved
not claiming the general is the best
but he definitely the best for now

dein77:


It seems you're deliberately missing the point. If Buhari is riding on the stunt of his bogus integrity, then he's got NOTHING different from the current

mikolo80:


so whatchu saying that you are holier than the pope
that he claims to be holier than the pope
no,he saying he is holier than jonathan
and guess what
we willing to take that risk
we seen all that gej has to offer
we can't have fashola(sw) and nobody will vote fr any ibo man(true story[heck they won't even vote for themselves
so in the absence of a best option
we will manage the better option
as opposed to a really really really....really bad one
my point buhari better(in my view) than jonathan

but hey if your'e ok with jonathan then by all means vote for your man
but if your'e not then you're stuck with buhari
personally i think he will only reduce corruption
and maybe follow power reforms to a logical conclusion(which will pay we the masses) as this will create jobs
but with jonathan all i see is more immigration recruitment type wickedness
more ignoring of blatant corruption by his concubines and abandoning nigerians to our own security fate

so yes i prefer the general at least there is a chance that things will get better
but with jonathan its guaranteed to get worse

if you want to keep nitpicking instead of looking at the bigger picture ,you have a right to do so
but to ask me to join you in said ignorant behaviour is not going to work

dein77:


Pls write more clearly next time. It was pretty difficult going through what you've written above!

mikolo80:


forgive my net etiquette
never been much of a writer
but you get the gist

dein77:


My dear, I get the gist. At the end of all these talks is the fact that we all want a better Nigeria.

coolscott:


[size=13pt]Firstly, you don't firstly allow the masses to choose. You firstly ensure only qualified interested candidates contest.

Secondly, if you or the APC needs anyone to convince them that blatantly refusing to comply with the country's laid down requirements in vying for the top office is setting a bad example to the rest of the country, it is no wonder you are deeply disrespected by many and your call for change only feels like a fraud.

Thirdly, what Buhari did is clearly classified as perjury under the Nigerian penal code
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perjury_in_Nigeria#Classification_of_perjury_under_Nigerian_law
So beyond whether he had his certificate or not, his actions now get into the zone of punishable crime under the penal code.

The question is... How can we reconcile all these with his claims to be forthrigh and a man of integrity?[/size]

omenka:
The earlier you people accept the fact that jonathan/PDP is not getting a free ride home on this contest like they have been in previous ones, the better for you all.

Jonathan, you people claim, is as popular as JFK, so what's the fuss about?? Wouldn't you people rather have him "disgrace" an unpopular Buhari whom you people are c0ck sure is gonna lose the election than have him step down and retain some integrity

I find it so hard understanding how your minds process your thoughts honestly.

mcquin:


Niccur if your candidate believes he is popular enough, he shouldn't be bothered after all he would still win right? So get your pvc and go show how popular your candidate is, except he is scared.

Like i always say, this same GMB contested in 2011, how come your candidate never bothered about bad precedent then? Huh

coolscott:


And that summarizes your utter disrespect for the laid down Nigerian process. You and people like you.

mcquin:



Cut the crap. I hate selective justice. When Jona chased House of Rep members with police, when he claimed 16>19, when he use Mbu as thug against Amaechi, his recent contracting with Tompolo to secure pipeline instead of the relevant agencies etc; you lots never considered those as unconstitutional and disrespect of the process; na simple go test your popularity at the polls against a said illiterate nai be unconstitutional? Bros you no get conscience? Desist from selective justice.
