Buhari requests school to make certificate available

                               

Below is Buhari's statement on his certificate scandal culled from his twitter page: 

Good Morning, Gentlemen of the Press. I only consented to address you this morning because of the genuine concern expressed by many supporters and other well-meaning Nigerians that that the issue be addressed. Otherwise, I would have dismissed it for what it is – sheer mischief and would not have considered it an issue worth the Nation’s while.

I had assumed all along that all my records were in the custody of the Military Secretary of the Nigerian Army. Much to my surprise, we are now told that although a record of the result is available, there are no copies of the certificates in my personal file.

This is why I formally requested my old school, the Provincial Secondary School, Katsina [Which is now known as Government College, [Katsina] to make available the school’s copy of the result of the Cambridge/West African School Certificate. This will be made available to the Press the moment this is available.

However, before we obtain that, let me say for the record that I attended Provincial Secondary School, Katsina. I graduated in 1961 with many prominent Nigerians, including General Shehu Yar’Adua, former chief of staff at the Supreme Headquarters, and Justice Umaru Abdullahi, a former President of the Court of Appeal. We sat for the University of Cambridge/WASC Examination together in 1961, the year we graduated.

My examination number was 8280002, and I passed the examination in the Second Division. And although the ruling party may want to wish this away, the issue in this campaign cannot be my certificate which I obtained 53 years ago. 

The issues are the scandalous level of unemployment of millions of our young people, the state of insecurity, the pervasive official corruption which has impoverished our people and the lack of concern of the government of anything other than the retention of power at all costs.

Thank you very much

THE LAW (Part 1)

Some people get it wrong when we speak about the Law. Some spiritual folks have concluded under Antinomianism anyone who exalts the place of Grace as God's new way of dealing with man, on the basis of the Finished work of Christ and the complete satisfaction of God's righteous judgement on Christ as our Substitute.

The Law is good but every one who lives under it is Bad. 1tim 1:8,

The Law is spiritual, but to live under it, is carnality. Rm 7:14

The Law is holy, But those who live under it, are deemed unrighteous. Rom 7:12, Phil 3:9; isa 64:6, Rom 3:10.

The Law demands perfection but it can make nothing perfect. Lev 11:44; Heb 7:19.

You may ask, why this sharp contrast??

The biblical answer is, that was not the purpose of the Law. The law was not designed or given by God to give any man a right standing before God. Rm 3:20. The gospel has been about-faced over the centuries, and an innocent attempt to balance Law and Grace, has made a total mess of the gospel of grace. Matthew 9:17. The Law was not given to place man in a justified state by reason of his own merit. In fact, the opposite will be accurately true. The Law in itself is good, holy, perfect. It was given by God, delivered by Moses. The commandment is a perfect reflection of God's Love and Righteousness- His two predominant attribute as seen from man's point of view. But its place in our present dispensation is the bone of contention among bible students. By the help of the HolySpirit, I hope to throw more light on this subject.

For better apprehension of this wide subject., I will like to touch the following points:

1. What is the Law

2. The Law and its Purpose

3. The Law and its Limitations

4. The Law and the Believer

5. What was abrogated- Its commanding power OR condemning power.

6. The New Law.

Remain blessed. 

THE JOURNEY - A POEM BY A GREAT POET

I cannot say how far I need to go

Perhaps, millions of miles yet to cover

My mind can't conceive how much I have to do.

But on Him I rest whose promises never waver.



My goodness could worth the toilet.

May be a little more fidelity can wash my rag

Yet the shackles of my depravity grew wilder

But at once made free, now I raise His victory Flag.
