The former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on electronic media, Pastor Reno Omokri has said that the former President made a total of six “A”s and two credit passes in his West African Senior School Certificate Examination, WAEC which he sat in June 1978.
He however advised critics to think twice before casting derogatory remarks at the ex-President, saying he(Ex-President Jonathan) was indeed a distinguished student during his school day and afterwards.
Omokri made the statement, sequel to a report published in a popular newspaper that the ex-President was once involved in a certificate scandal. Recall that both the duo of Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan and the Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose had both debunked claims that they had any certificate scandal hanging on their necks. They had given the comments in separate statements they issued last two weeks.
Jonathan had said that he had never been linked to any sort of certificate scandal as reported by the popular newspaper, urging that facts about his educational documents could be traced to the University of Port Harcourt or St. Michael’s Primary School, Oloibiri and Mater Dei High School, lmiringi where he obtained his Bachelor’s degree or First leaving school certificates respectively.
He had however, also said that it was wrong to have mentioned his name among prominent Nigerians that were said to have been involved in certificate scandal. Moreover, to further prove that the ex-President does has no certificate issue, Pastor Omokri who revealed the WAEC scores of the former president asked Dr. Goodluck Jonathan graduated with a Second Class Upper degree in Zoology from the University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State. ”
In June of 1975, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan sat for his West African School Certificate Examinations and made the following results.
A2 economics
A2 biology
A2 chemistry
A2 Geography
A3 CRK
C6 English
C5 physics”
“Mathematics was canceled, so the next year he wrote GCE in November and got A3 in mathematics.
So before you call my Jonathan ‘clueless’, please show me your own champion’s School Certificate result. NB: We have the original certificates!” “In the year of our Lord, 1981, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan graduated with a Second Class Upper degree in Zoology from the University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
At that time, there was nothing like blocking in Nigeria. If you were not intelligent you could not graduate with such high scores.” “And yet, a Senator who has been exposed to have a Third Class degree and a former (?) dictator whose School Certificate status is yet to be determined had the temerity to once call such a man ‘clueless’.
Yet in less than a year they turned the prosperity Jonathan gave us to recession. Now, who is really clueless?” “A corruption fighter who hides behind 13 SANs instead of showing his WASSCE certificate and behind National Security instead of revealing how much of our money he spent on his London doctors, and writes a letter defending his appointee caught red handed in corruption, is that one a corruption fighter?” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteSomeone with 9 "Fs" at the O/Level stage would had done a far better job than Mr Clueless figurehead Jonathan
ReplyDeleteUpon it all, he was still clueless and a puppet in the hand of cabals in his presidency.
ReplyDeleteJust like your father in your mother's hand.
DeleteReno, WASC, BSc, PhD, etc do not necessarily make a competent president. If it did, John Major would never have been British Prime Minister because he could not make 5 Credits in his School Certificate in UK.
ReplyDeleteReno, you can defend Goodluck Jonathan as much as you like, but you cannot change history - that his government wrecked Nigeria's economy. He took billions from the nation's coffers, shared them among his friends and came to brag that he made more billionaires than any other Nigerian president. Who cannot make billionaires by stealing and sharing the loot?
Coming back to qualifications, the question people have raised about Jonathan was never his WASC. It has always been about his PhD. One thing you can do to debunk the rumour of an unearned PhD is to publish his PhD dissertation, and the external reviewer's recommendation that led to the award. These are standard to any genuine PhD from anywhere in the world - I know this because I have a PhD as well.
One thing that puzzles me about you, Reno, is that I believe you are a Christian, born again. But I struggle to reconcile your penchant for outright insincerity with the demands of your faith. You see black and call it white, just in the name of politics. People like you make many genuine Christians run away from politics - believing that every Christian gets corrupted once they enter politics.
I pray you have a fresh encounter with the Christ whom you profess.
I know where you come from. That tribe that swallows any lies and propaganda hook, line and sinker so far it does not regard one of their owns. Berebe nie!
DeleteWhat has the post got to do with tribe? Can't you grow up and deal with issues? The writer made some profound statements and all you could see is which tribe he/she might come from! Amazing!
DeleteRead the response of this @Bukarolz Collins to other posts in this thread and you'll see the kind of person he/she is. The fellow is not interested in any intelligent discourse; he/she just wants to insult anyone who suggests that Jonathan is less than perfect. No point discussing anything with such people - they are paid by how many pro-GEJ and anti-PMB posts they make online!
DeleteWhat ever certificate he has just as you published his O level, publish his PhD and the name of his external observers. After all you said he studied zoology ,he should seek appointment in zoo or Fulani's should employ him to be examining their Cow's, not to govern a country.
