It does seem that when a politician is popular people overlook
his sins and when he becomes unpopular they want to examine his faults. In
2015, the Buhari-mania and its mantra of Change would not allow anyone
examine the matter of Buhari’s certificate but it does seem that with the turn
of events, those who were ready to accept recharge card and NEPA bill in place
of a certificate are insisting they want to see the real certificate.
Those who regularly respond to calls for
proposals in the humanitarian and development sector know that one of the first
places you must read through are the guidelines for application. These are more
or less criteria for eligibility. If among the things required are audited
reports for five years and you are only four years old as an organization, you
simply know ipso facto that your organization is disqualified; and if they
require only a ten paged summary and you go ahead to make it fifteen, or they
want an anti-terrorism certification attached and you forget to, or attach only
two out of three required letters of support from established organisations,
then you must already know you are out, being that the first step is to prune
the applications and without even reading the proposals, screen out those who
had not met the criteria.
