Barewa College: The Secondary School That Has Produced 5 Nigerian Presidents! by Jarus(m): 6:04pm On Jan 23, 2009
I like reading biographies of eminent people, right from my primary school days. I can remember coming across this college in the biographies of prominent Nigerians, especially northerners. Curiously, I searched for it wikipedia, via google that I learnt this secondary school produced:
5 Nigerian Presidents:
-Gowon
-Murtala
-Shagari
-Buhari
-Umoru Yar'adua

Nigeria's only Prime Minister

-Tafawa Balewa

Most influential Northern politician/Ex-Premier of Northern region
-Ahmadu Bello


2 Chief Justices of Nigeria:

-Muhammad Bello
-Idris Kutigi

Ex-IG
-Ibrahim Coomassie

. . .of course the two brightest northerners of this generation:
-Nasir El-rufai
-Nuhu Ribadu

I understand that that was obviously the only secondary school in the north at that time, but could any school be prouder?
Kudos to whoever thought of teh idea of forming that school at that time.

You just beat me to it, I wondered what was the purpose of this thread in the first place. The clowns this funny college had produced as Presidents contributed massively to the present state we found ourselves collectively as a Country....just wondering what makes them 'eminent' undecided I will rather celebrate colleges that produce the likes of Gani Fawehinmi, Wole Soyinka, Chief Awo, ZIK etc

We also learnt that buhari was a senior perfect of the school, which translates that he must be one intelligent geek.


All I ask for is "show me my next president's WAEC result"

Is that too much to ask?
