Still trying to figure out? Let me save you your time. Nigeria has never played India in a football match.

Buhari was not part of the coup conspirators that overthrew Shagari but he ended up becoming Head of State afterwards this is tantamount to knowingly receiving stolen goods.

Buhari never stole money but some how was able to single handedly float a political party and contest for presidency three times in a row both at the polls and at the courts up to the supreme court

4. That Sokoto calls itself “born to rule.” At no point in history has Sokoto ever called itself “born to rule.” As I pointed out in my January 10, 2015 column titled “The Stubborn, Undying ‘Born to Rule’ Falsehood in Nigeria’s Political Discourse,” “Sokoto State’s official license-plate catchphrase from the beginning was and still is ‘Cibiyar daular usmaniyya,’ which is Hausa for the nucleus or the navel of the Usman Danfodio caliphate. The English version of the slogan has been rendered as ‘Seat of the Caliphate,’ which I think is a great idiomatic translation

Are you aware that " born to rule" was once on the vehicle licence plate of Sokoto state?
When naija decried this they changed it, and you it is outright lie. Do you also know that River state slogan was once, " a dedication to God and man (?)"

Buhari not having a certificate was that also a lie?

Buhari statement about the blood of bamboos and monkeys flowing if he loose the election was that also a lie?

Buhari showing his mathematical skills in the 97% / 5% statement was that lie as well?

Putting the record straight, No 2 wasn't a lie nor a guess work but a careful planned and well funded project. It was Jonathan's concession to the 2015 election defeat that keep Nigeria as one and make it look like its a lie.

Buhari and his APC band of rouges were ready to unleash terror on Nigerians if not Goodluck Jonathan which said 'his ambition does not worth the blood of any Nigerian' and stood by it.

Some people are unteachable. Someone just corrected a myth and you are debunking his correction with same myth he debunked.

There was never a plate like that anywhere in Nigeria.
