Buhari a Semi-illiterate? See His Full Educational Qualifications

Some folks are misguided; to think a man
who did not attend a university for a BSc is
not a graduate. lol!

A Rejoinder to ‘Semi-Illiterate’ PDP Secretary Prof. Wale Oladipo by Dr. M.K. Hassan

   I was shocked to read a press statement
from Wadata Plaza issued by a so called
Professor Wale Oladipo, secretary of the
PDP, saying that General Muhammadu
Buhari is a semi illiterate jackboot. It is no
wonder that our education system has
fallen so low, else how can one explain a
professor making such a statement? How
did Wale Oladipo become a professor to
start with? It is quite astonishing that he
can say this. The professor doesn’t seem to
understand the basic rudiments of learning
and what it means for one to be literate or
not.
Buhari attended the best military schools in
the world. In case the professor doesn’t
know, Buhari graduated as a military
officer (Lieutenant) in Royal Military
Academy, Aldeshot UK. He attended the
Defense College India. Col Buhari attended
the US Army War College Carlisle in
Pennsylvania from 1979 -1980 and earned
his command as a Brigadier General. The
respected General Collin Powel attended
the same school in 1976 to become
Brigadier General. Some of Buhari’s
classmates include General Beltson,
General Thomas P Carney, General Bill
Matz, General David E.K. Cooper etc. all of
them are alive and can be reached and
they will give glowing tributes of the man,
Buhari, they know as their classmate.
The curriculum at the U.S. Army War
College earns one a Masters Degree in
Strategic Studies and that is what Buhari
has.
Anyone interested in verifying Buhari’s
academic credentials can write the school
instead of reading jargon from a deranged
Wadata Plaza Professor of Politics of
Destruction Party (PDP). I have checked
Google Scholar hoping that Prof. Wale
Oladipo’s name and publications will show
up and nothing is showing up, that says a
lot about him as a Professor than Buhari as
a retired decorated General who served his
country so well and has not claimed any
scholarship.
For somebody to claim that a graduate of
such a prestigious school is semi-illiterate,
means something is very wrong with that
person’s brain. By all academic and
military standards, Buhari’s education is
superb and the best any general can get in
the world. Therefore, for Wale Oladipo to
claim Buhari is semi-illiterate speaks
volumes about his understanding of what
education is even all about. The unlearned
professor thinks education is about earning
paper degrees only, and even if it was the
case, Buhari has them from the most
respected military institutions in the world.

    General Muhammadu Buhari has the kind of military strategic education and
experience to deal a decisive blow on Boko Haram and end the insecurity challenges facing Nigeria. Buhari is the only army
officer with the opportunity to command 3
out of 4 Nigeria’s army divisions as a GOC.

      In 1983, when rebels from Chad took over our land, seizing more than 19 villages (much like what the Boko Haram is doing now), Major General Buhari led a
successful operation as the GOC to push
back the Chadian rebels and reclaim our
territory.

   In 1984, when the Maitatsine sect decided to declare war on Nigeria like what Boko Haram is doing now, Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari wasted no time in crushing them. Boko Haram is a
descendant of the Maitatsine sect with the same extremist ideology and anti-western education philosophy. It is surely President Buhari that will be able to handle them:
eliminating these terrorists when he comes to power like he did before. Muhammadu Buhari as a captain fought in the Congo
Civil War and won the Congo Medal. He
was there during our civil war to bring
peace and keep Nigeria one. That is true
patriot: a man that gave his life to another
country not only his fatherland.
Since the goons in Wadata Plaza have
started the literacy debate, it is very
appropriate to ask them that they produce
Dr. Goodluck Jonathan’s Ph.D thesis and
publications in renowned journals.
Goodluck’s speeches, attitude, and
interviews with international media don’t
portray him as a Ph.D holder. His past
interview with Christiane Amanpour was
quite embarrassing; he couldn’t even make
eye contact with her. Nigerians are eager to
read his thesis and publications.

  In conclusion, it is obvious to all Nigerians that the PDP government and its illiterate
professor are only interested in playing
dirty politics with the lives and properties
of Nigerians. Nigerians now need Buhari, a man with international military education
and experience, a seasoned administrator
with zero tolerance for corruption to end
this insecurity, bring prosperity, and place
Nigeria at the seat it deserves in the comity of nations.
