For him mind,him don win award o....

Shift abeg...mtcheeee

This sucide of a thing is getting out of hand o..
mostly students, that shows how our higher
institutions ae frustrating students.

This is not cool at all.

That school is good in frustrating students for nothing, yet they're always at the bottom when it comes to Nigerian Universities ranking.

Believe me, if you're above averagely intelligent, this school will make you look as an or below averaged intelligent student.

Oh my ATBU, this school can so frustrate students! I wish this young man did not commit suicide, rumour has it that he missed I.T that's why he resorted to killing himself.

Proud to be a Balewite!
