This CV shows Buhari worked his way up to that level through hardwork both in Nigeria and Diaspora. He is a Security Expert, He uses resources available at the moment to deal with issues in his regime people can testify to this. He saves his country from International Disgrace . . .

SAI BUHARI

One is an experienced leader the other academician

Ishilove Lalasticlala Seun TheRealMrStan You made people doubt the Education of Buhari. Please move this to the FrontPage for the same people to know about him and his opponent and he also holds a Doctorate Degree.

True Talk we can't keep trying one thing for 15 years and expecting a different result. CHANGE

The difference is clear. Sai Buhari

Pls let's compare the vp`s asap

Op, GMB is also a clever loser. I say make I remind you.

Look at buhari CV like he is aspiring to govern North Korea and GEJ cv leaves us doing Oliver Twist.

How can GMB have that Cv and thinks he can rule a country where down South 90% of the youths are graduate. Why didn't GMB enrol in NOUN when OBJ was enrolling.

Education is not just staying in a classroom

Knowledge is quite different from wisdom. Being an academician doesn't mean you will have wisdom. Jonathan is just an academician that lacks wisdom. Being contumacious, He is a fool who sorrounds himself with fools as advisers. The most foolish leader Nigeria ever produced.

Everything about jona has to do with animal
. No wonder

I didn't see Chris okotie CV or has he lost even before election will be conducted.

I strongly doubt if CV qualifications is what Nigeria needs at this point in time.
During the 2011 election, some people did not see anything good in Jonathan but I really respect those people now because they were correct, rather than bring about or set in motion the much desired paradigm shift, he has decided that he would rather maintain the status quo of business as usual.
Therefore, let's leave educational attainment and asses these two major contenders for the number one office of the land based on what each one of them as an individual can use the office to achieve for posterity.
The question is; what are the issues confronting the nation? issues like corruption, infrastructure, economic instability, unemployment, insecurity etc, is Buhari going to able to tackle these issues head on given the present circumstances

Watching

Joining the Military at the time of Buhari is just for a katsina State Man to indicate interest and he is there but as a fine officer u take exams as u proceed. Buhari failed all his exams thats why he obviously Don't have all those academics titles to his name and from what we have above its all honorary see this link https://www.nairaland.com/2054206/buhari-failed-all-exams-ibb#29055758
Moreso when Buhari was anouncing his running (failure) mate, he called him a man of impeachable character instead of impeccable. i laughed and fell of the chair..
Illiterate Abooki want to rule Nigéria in 2015. lie lie

Let the insults begin

There should probably be a presidential debate.

Why compare the two of them?.....They are accomplished in their different fields, Buhari is an experienced and seasoned military man while Jonathan is an experienced academic, Lecturer and politician, There's no basis for comparison. If you want to compare Buhari to someone, compare him with IBB Or OBJ, Then you can compare GEJ to Atiku or Osibanjo.

M

Critics where you at? After seeing this,am like wtf,#GEJ TILL 2099 A.D

donmalcolm21:

Truth is that most of our past presidents never wanted to become one, they were "forced" to contest in the 1st instance eg Yar'adua, GEJ, OBJ etc. The ones that wanted to become presidents never made it eg. Awolowo, Abiola, Atiku, Buhari etc

HMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!











Speechless

Buhari na only waka come.

Buhari till angel of God blow the trumpet for the second coming of christ.

Buhari has more professional and leadership qualities/award. GEJ is without any academic awards from Bsc-PhD

See buhari achievement as e boku.
even those GEJ no sure cus no one to back dat up.

who are his course mate ?

When he was receiving award, Jonathan still dey kindergarten.
When he dey fight for Nigeria, he still has no shoes.
When he finally becomes president, Jonathan will be a fisherman at otueke.

Buhari for President

Buhari's Cv doesn't change anything about him...



We know who he is...Aboki na Aboki




GEJ till Buhari gets comfortable wit his 150 cattle!

Hahahaha, that moment when you check your CV with your competitor and you have to use larger fonts and quadruple spacing to make sure your pages reaches his own despite no spacing in his own.

Why quadruple spacing in JonaTAN own na?

Wetin b this. Sometimes cv don't matter abeg. There is a huge diff with being schooled or being professional and having leadership skills. So many leaders in naija lack leadership skills. Also since alot didn't get it on merit rather through lobby, it's really bad.
N I think we r making too much noise with this GEJ n buhari 's matter abeg.
I do tire. Let's let d buhari man resume office first that's if he wins n stop hyping him. Wat if he fails us or do less? Ever thought of that? Na naija we dey o. Where politicians lie o.. ha am just saying.
