GENERAL MUHAMMADU BUHARI IN GOLD – A LIVING LEGEND WITH IMPECCABLE AND ENVIABLE RECORD RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING

Of average intelligence, Buhari is sober and balanced. Straightforward, simple and mature. He expresses his views freely when asked. Keen to learn. Sociable, though somewhat shy. Pleasant and cordial. – MAJOR GENERAL SP. MALHOTRA

I have taken the time to read carefully through, and transcribe the recommendations he got from when he was a youth, because I’m an avid student of history. Whatever was written back then is the real truth, the only truth, forget politics. This below, is what I could make out. My eyes are very good, though his principal’s scrawl is tough to read. I pray that a genuine human being leads this country. A compassionate and balanced individual. May God make our wishes come true. Anyway, please read below:
