USA Africa Dialogue Series - Buhari's burdens are too much for Nigeria

"One day, we woke up to the earth-shaking news that Buhari had applied to his school to release his School Certificate. What came out must have made the operators of "Oluwole" forgers park in Lagos livid with rage at the bastardisation of their trade by incompetent amateurs. It was a "cut-and-join" affair bearing the letterhead of Katsina State Ministry of Education, with Buhari's old man 2015 photo superimposed! To the best of my knowledge, Katsina State was created in 1987 and Buhari claims he took his WASC in 1961. Yet, Buhari's supporters cacophonously chorused that we should move on, the man has produced his certificate.
Why this issue is important is that Buhari lied under oath that his certificate was with the military. He has presented none. That is perjury, a serious offence that could get him disqualified and even jailed if we had functional rule of law. Secondly, it means Buhari became a Major General and later Head of State without valid evidence he was educationally qualified for officer commissioning. I am afraid, even if Buhari manages to produce the genuine copy of his WASC, his famous claim to integrity has already been injured beyond repair as a result of his perjurious lies under oath. The evil that northern political leaders committed by bringing uneducated individuals into our state institutions has shown in the fact that these chaps ran the country aground.
Buhari was one of such individuals inflicted upon the nation. During his time as Head of State, goods disappeared from the shelves, and food was being rationed in an otherwise capitalist state! Draconian laws were made, backdated and used to murder drug suspects – Bartholomew Owoh, Lawal Ojuolape and Bernard Ogedengbe. Buhari ruled Nigeria like a bushman. The Press was put in chains."

Hehehehehe! Now, this is how to write, entertain, and educate! We still have writers in Nigeria. I laughed and cried from beginning to end.

APC has learnt a valuable lesson in its impending loss: It is a new world, some of us don't forget and we will hold people accountable. Better lock next time - without Tinubu, Atiku and Buhari! BTW, whatever happened to Atiku since they robbed him of the candidacy?
