ShowYourCertificate: During the Cambridge exam years mathematics was not a compulsory subject. if you know someone that schooled during that period you can confirm. As it affects the military then I'm not sure. But I guess it should not matter cos you don't even have to sit for the subject. 2 Likes |

CaptainAmerica1:. It doesn't matter. High School is meant to give adequate general education including literacy (Language) & Numeracy (Maths) PLUS other subjects of your interest to make 5 credits minimum. Even law schools ask for maths credit. If military didn't need maths, why did his school principal's prediction letter state that Buhari was likely to get Credits in Maths & English Plus three other credits? He was obviously saying Buhari will meet the grade required. In UK, same grade prediction system is still used to apply to university. 9ja system was still similar to British then. Admission is provisional, you begin your course if you meet the prediction. Because results come out about 6 weeks before university first semester starts. It's not about politics, APC or PDP. It's about integrity, honesty, merit & constitutional requirement. The same constitution a president will swear to uphold. |

TCD:i agree with you but would you tell me that the system we are using then says "faill not even pass" in mathematics is ok to enter a federal system especially the military which was a priced/respectable body ven then.... Food for thought: Which system of administration(UK) are we using in Nigeria in our Education and Military, so check what is obtainable there also |

Before dis time the Nigerian Army was purely a professional field dat dealt more on proficiency but recently d NDA became a tertiary academy institution wit degree awarding status like d University for core cadet not 4 short service. For dis reason u c core cadet awarded BSc, BA and so on. 4dis category dia entry requirement is same with d university and dey spend 4-5ys academic work wit 1yr core military training. In d case of Buhari's era, dis was not d case as u were commission after 1-2yrs and no award of standard degree only promotional courses. D4, dia entry requirement could not have bin d same. 1 Like |

Obinoscopy:The question here is what was (as in the 1960s), not what ought. During time Buhari got into the army, a credit in mathematics was not compulsory. |

Mathematics is very compulsory if you want to grow in the military. However, maths is not required for the infantry. |

ShowYourCertificate: Nigerians can't stop amusing me. First, it was, 'Buhari has no Certificate', now it has gradually shifted to his failure in mathematics and whether mathematics is a prerequisite for enlisting into the army. Now, I ask "who said that a man with failures in Physics, Chemistry and Biology cannot end up as one of the best Surgeons in the World if at some point, he resits his exams, makes those papers and get admitted into medical school ?" Besides, these are not issues, let's concern ourselves with who has the willpower and determination to deliver this Country from going further down the drain 1 Like |

TCD: I hereby , back date today's policy to 1961! Talk about tyranny, backdated a decree just to kill! Back tot he issue, maths shows ones ability to think and reason, if it was not compulsory as then, no wonder Nigeria is like this. |

Remember that some social science courses does not require mathematics to study. As at 1999 mathematics wasn't compulsory for most social science courses. Tks |

TCD: The question is, if mathematics is compulsory for military recuitment, and there is nothing like military in the 60's and now, how do you as a military man calculate in terms of aiming @ your enemy, even ploting a graph to see how far or near your ememy territory is, involves a high level of mathematics, in otherwords mathematics is highly needed to do dat, geographical calculation nkor? Mathematics is needed. |

All I know is that the law in 1961 is not the law in 2015. If Maths is compulsory now,that doesn't mean it was then. If he was drafted to the army then maths wasn't a compulsory subject. Even Cambridge said it in their report that then,English was the most important subject that one mustn't fail and not Maths,so y'all should just let this case rest |

Some courses in Nigeria Polytechnics and Universities still accept somebody without a credit pass in their admissions not to talk of military in 1960s. U are here asking WAEC Certificate in JAMB office even when constution did not mention mathematics as requirement. Grow up dude.... 1 Like |

IVORY2009: Guy what you should understand is that failing maths doesn't mean you dont know it and you can't apply it. After all dont white students also fail English in their own exams? Does that mean they can't speak it? The maths they'll teach them in the military in terms of bearing and all that is practical therefore easier to understand,compared to calculating on paper. Using a sniper to calculate the distance of the enemy is easier than solving it on paper. Hope you get my point 2 Likes |

[size=15pt]PLEASE BEFORE WE JUDGE OTHERS, LET US TRY TO PUT OUR HOME IN ORDER. I THINK THIS ESSAYIST FAILD ENGLISH[/size]. [s]Is Mathematics A Compulsory Requirement To Be Commissioned Into The Military?[/s] ( The sentence really asks a fundamental question here. Is it Mathematics who wants to be commissioned or somesone ? I ask this question because Buhari's Military Officers are meant to be knowledgeable in quantification of military Also mathematical terms such a Bearing, Longitude and So I wonder why someone with an F9 in mathematics should be commissioned into the Military. 1 Like 1 Share |

Shekau that is sacking our military which school did he attend and wat qualification is he using to calculate the bearing of range to fire an RPG. Anyway I I still don't support quota system, if nigeria is one country and we want to move forward then we should talk of merit and equity not this bullshit quota system. 1 Like |
