How many northerners are even allowed to study in your regions university? Why don't you call the Biafra governors to celebrate her? You are talking of forceful abduction and conversion when we know that hundreds of northerners are abducted and eaten up in your cannibal region every year. We contribute to your nutrition in many ways.

thats my ALMA MATA too, that sch wont grow beyond what it is o!, some of us {MY set}were the ones majorly responsible for the publicity that sch got till dat bro.the records we produced in that sch still remains un beatable. but politics too much for that sch.the abokis there wont allow any southern man cme take over his assets.i left that sch on 4.9, but politics no allow dem se road, but i was also into lots of things and so so busy up stairs that i never was ready to get distracted by some silly politics in thst sch.perhaps, i was also one of them{born and bred in the North}, so i understood what they were up tp while there.several attempts were made at my life while studying there, but God really helped me.the vc then was like a big dad to me,{he was my dads class mate in EUROPE way back then} [color=#000099][/color, he told me to forge on as he has oders from the top to ignore the southern students with excellent results, thus, i styled away.so no be today politics for northern universities start o!

the shallow mindedness of some people baffles me, you just pick up ur phone to comment on any post without reading in between the lines. For information the OP is also a graduate of UDUS and he got his fact right before writing this, the convoc took place 2 months ago and till now no contact from the school.you may never know what it feels like to be denied of your right coz u dnt knw what it takes to hit 4.86 CGPA in a course like that in a school like UDUs, you may never understand. lets stop hating and be sincere and put ourselves in her shoes.it is not a must to comment.

Whose fault is it that mental minions rule mental giants?

Name one country where mental giants rule mental minions.

...and please, understand that I'm in support of the idea that academic excellence should be encouraged, I just don't see it as a birthright.

Injustice To The Best Graduating Student Of Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto.

Recently it has been trending over the internet about academically outstanding students who backed first class in different Universities with an overwhelming CGPAs. Some of them like IMSU and UNILag first class graduates are very fortunate to have received adequate media attention and corresponding rewards from their School and corporate bodies which they unequivocally deserve because it is not an easy feat.

Unfortunately the reverse was the case for the 2012/2013 academic set first class graduate of Applied Chemistry of Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto in the person of Miss Stella Chinelo Emelife who turned out to be the overall best in not only her faculty but in all the faculties of that academic year, backing a CGPA of 4.86.

Universities have been organising their convocation and recognizing their best graduating students, giving them employment offers, scholarships, cash,cars etc. Nobody heard anything about Usmanu danfodiyo University because it was nothing to write home about from we the graduants point of view. This is how it happened:

This prestigious University recently organised their 32nd, 33rd, and 34th convocation on March 19 2016 where the likes of Tinubu, Governor Ambode, Oba of Lagos, Fashola, and host of other dignitaries graced the occasion. Miss Stella was also invited to come and receive her award, but the convocation later turned out to be a political affair which wouldn’t have been an issue knowing what convocations are like in Nigeria just that in this case it was all about conferring Honorary Doctorate Degrees to those invited politicians. Miss Stella and other Graduants were totally ignored, they were left to sweat in their convocation gowns while they feebly clapped and cheered the politicians. It was a total mess.
Finally after the day was almost gone and some graduants have left in anger, the M.C merely rushed through the names of graduating students only pausing briefly to mention “the best graduating student of 2012/2013 academic session is Miss Stella Chinelo Emelife. Congratulations”. We were expecting some kind of standing ovation and Stella mounting the podium to collect her award but just like in a movie the M.C continued calling the names of other first class graduates of various departments!

After the event she was called and given the sum of fifty thousand naira (50,000) but her recognition certificate was not given because it was yet to be signed by the V.C. No employment offer, no scholarship no recognition was given to this young lady. Despite all she passed through, all the persecution yet she came out as the over all best, the first female non Hausa Christian to achieve such academic feat in Usmanu Danfodiyo University. It is now I know why this University which is also my alma mater has not attained national recognition which it much deserved because the school does not recognize its graduates. There are lots of intellectuals this University produce every year but none are recognized. In other university Miss Stella would have been automatically retained coz no sane institution would want to lose such academic asset.

I use this medium to call on the management of Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto, the government, corporate organisations to do something and correct this injustice and indifferent attitude meted out on this young lady and let the right thing be done. Let tribalism not cloud our sense of judgement.

Awards and rewards for these special few must be treated like Divine right. Only a few know the mental, emotional and social costs of attaining such a demanding academic height. If you haven't been there, you can never understand it forever!

My brother you said it all. Usmanu Danfodiyo is a great institution that parades the best brains, good structures and everything a federal university should have but unfortunately it is not given the recognition it should have. this is a University that is supposed to be mentioned alongside ABU Zaria, OAU and other top federal universities but that is not so. I dont know whether to attribute it to the conservative nature and cultural orientation of the school environment. Yes the school is termed the most peaceful university in Nigeria, of course they earned it but they have inadvertently become 'the most silent' too. so na who their peace help? It is high time we the graduates of this great institution do something to save her image by pushing her to the lime light.
proudly #Danfodite. If you are one pls show yourself

I beg to disagree sir. Who will pay the best graduating student when employed Or will the best graduating student work for free

This stuff requires planning -most likely, the school would have known the Best Graduating Student before the convocation date and rewarding such students has financial implications which someone has to approve of its expenditure. Otherwise, we'll see the same person crying out few months later of being cheated after experiencing all the paparazzi on convocation day.

Isn't it this same country that Buhari's promise to athletes were just being effected after three decades Pronouncements etc are not enough; letters and contracts can do the talking.

Aminu Tambuwal is the Governor of Sokoto State.

UDUS is a Federal School.

Oba Rilwan Akiolu (of Lagos) is the school's Chancellor.


Btw, OP, it's "bagged" and not "backed". Additionally, all I have seen here is the lack of media attention and recognition on the supposedly best graduating student. The OP has given a narrative that it is due to bigotry.

I hope the person in question has collected her certificate because I would not advise putting her into 'more trouble' if you have not made steps or efforts to ask the school authorities. Don't let social media users lure you all the time with the "picture or no proof" voices. You need to be tactful in dealing with certain matters.

Here is a one-sided conversation which unfortunately I cannot rely on for good reasons. What are the procedures involved in giving employment to 1st class graduates? Has she completed her NYSC? What plans does the school authority have for its best graduating student? What plans (if any) do you know they have for her?

Methinks that aside the media celebration or glitz which you're disappointed in (and which could be ascribed to poor event management as seen in your narration), the other issues are ones you can't quickly conclude.
