GREAT MAKURDIAN I HAIL YOU ....Enuf jamo

I guess dis will put an end to d perpetual strike baa?? If not den no be our business

We no go gree.
We go pursue this Abokis

That doesn't change the fact that Buhari got it all wrong in the appointment of an ordinary mallam as Minister of Education and a Professor (and former VC) as Minister of State for Education. How can a Prof. be answerable to a Mallam in the Federal Ministry of Education? Well, what do I know. It's the Northerner's country and power.

me fear fear o! So na Hausa come go school pass east ? This appointment ehh!

MOUAU I see u dia

this appointment sef not only did Aboki appoint all the ABOKI I even saw a man that bears Aboki

Northern list

See list. Federal character is only remembered when they can't compete fairly

This is prejudice of the highest order, the south-east University was allocated with the northerners but Northern university was not allocated with the Easterner rather the same northerners. This is undemocratic and unacceptable.

Northerns don finish Nigeria.

@Prof. Ibrahim Gambari is double sided. That's the founder of the Masters in International Studies And Diplomacy in the great Ahmadu Bello University Zaria. Proud of prof

bye bye to prof kucha...what a relief

seen

I thought I was the only one that saw this.
Gradually like it is required in their IOC law, almost all educational institution is headed by a moslem either directly or indirectly.
It is more than politics.
if they have their way, all university vice chancellors will be moslems and from the North.

Tribal bigots everywhere,
I am very sure most of the people that commented above me are Igbo's

if you know that you are Igbo you are free to qoute me.

No, we will not take it.



Congratulations to the them all.
