U didn't remember to put what Ogun State Governor Studied and the year Lagos State Governor Graduated... Oya

rumours:


I can't place your point really. What reality? I just told you the harm the reality of quota system is doing to our system. I'm NOT also saying that there are no quality and qualified people from ABU and the North. Really I don't get your drift. The fact remains that considerations/criteria are usually watered down to accommodate mediocrity in the North. And ABU is not an exception.

Sometimes i wonder where you guys get all these lies from. During my time i had friends that scored up to 250 in Jamb but they were still not admitted. Stop listening to what namdi kanu says and use use your brain

rumours:


Yeah. I have issues with QUOTA SYSTEM. In fact I hate it. That is part of why Nigeria is not working. I want merit to be the basis for every consideration in Nigeria. Are you aware that in Northern Nigeria, people score 10 and less to get admitted into the Federal Govt Colleges? Whereas in Southern Nigeria, people score 139 - same exam, same admission. Does it make sense. It is the same thing even in their higher institutions. You and I know this except you are pretending.

I believe that your bible preaches against lying. Can you tell me when such a thing happened? My sister who is from Zaria scored 299 in Jamb and 307 in her post ume yet we are still praying that she gets admitted and you are here comfortably posting LIES. You guys need to stop fooling yourselves. It is true that the vast majority o f northers are not educated but there millions of us that are on the same level with you. Do even know that if ABU should decide to admit all its qualified Northern applicants there would be no room for southerners?

rumours:


Forget that thing. Your Alma mater where you get quota system support abi! We need to know how they got their admission. Who said they wouldn't have preferred the great UniLag, UNN, OAU or UI. I think they focussed on catchment area where quota system will favor them. You know you guys are into quota system wella! You hardly get considerations on merit. So leave that matter of ABU being naturally ahead. Don't take things by their face value. It is good to be deep.

Among those universities which one is convincingly better than ABU? In fact if you had checked the list you would have noticed that some governors even left their regions to come to abu. One of my course mates did his masters in UI and when i asked him, he said that ABU is much better than it so stfu

This brilliant piece by Gani Kayode Jr Balogun might give you a better understanding of Dinogate

ABU AND ABUSES

Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria started its existence as a regional university, just like its contemporaries, University of Ife, now Obafemi Awolowo University, ile Ife, established by the government of Western Region, and the deceitfully named University of Nigeria, Nsukka, established by the Eastern Regional government.

Please remember that as at that period, the only University in the country, the University College, Ibadan, was then just a University College, whose admission policy and curriculum were closely tied to its parent university in the UK.

So, the three regional governments, in pursuant of their manpower needs, set up regional universities, even the federal government joined the train with the establishment of University of Lagos, Akoka, on the fringe of the then federal capital territory of Lagos.

Now, while Ife was established to accommodate the products of the free education programme, and Nsukka because, well, if the West can do it, why not the East?

The case of ABU was different. The North had a massive manpower deficit, both in the regional civil service and in the military. To meet those needs, the regional government had to lower entry qualifications for most northern youth to qualify. That was why people like Buhari got drafted into the army with what we popularly call Awaiting Result(AR), and people like Abacha got in despite not meeting the height requirements demanded from candidates from other regions.

For ABU, they had to create so many back bending programmes to meet up with their mandate. This of course led to the establishment of so many remedial programmes that it was referred to as the Remedial University.

Even after it was taken over by the Murtala/Obasanjo Administration which took over regional universities, the original purpose was never jettisoned. In fact, it got to a point where universities in the North were offering Certificates in Law! Which is used as an equivalent of an A/Level or OND, and are used to get into law programmes, cleverly sidestepping the very competitive JAMB entry requirements for Law!

One of the reasons for the stranglehold by the North on the judiciary and the civil service is the application of state officers to fill their state's quota in the federal civil service.

Imagine if you will, two lawyers, one from either side of the confluence, who did NYSC together, and joined their state's civil service the same day.

The southern lawyer would move to Level 9 in 3 years, but the one from the north was employed on level 9, promoted to Level 10 two years later, and level 12 after only five years, while his counterpart at that point is looking forward to his level 10 promotions exam.

If both officers now applied for transfer of service from state to the federal service, one is already three levels ahead even though they graduated the same day!

What makes it worse is that the Northern lawyer probably had only three credits, did a certificate course in Law, and then studied Islamic Jurisprudence, which is not applicable in about fifty percent of the states of the federation!

This man will now become a judge at 30, Appeal Court at 35 and Supreme Court at 40, sitting pretty to become CJN while his Southern mate was just be elevated to the High court.

There are even courses in UK colleges designed specifically for intellectually challenged northern politicians, their wives and their children!

So, those of you showing righteous indignation about Dino's three credits must have been living on Mars, because if you go down that path, the very foundation of Northern education, that has produced numerous presidents, permanent secretaries, Generals, Ambassadors, and majority of Directors of institutions, will be called to question.

Please stop judging some people with your own standards, I am certain if we scrutinize the qualification's of most northerners in public office, the military, the police, customs, immigration, prisons, ports and sundry federal agencies, you will realise that Dino is just one in a million.

ABU is just fulfilling its mandate of producing low level human resources to fill the northern quota in a skewered federal system. It does not deserve your abuse, but your pity.

So after the epistle you couldnt even give us a source? who is gani kayode? Your jealousy is blinding you.
