Wot dey mean " at d time of taking up d award " is dat u must nt be older dan 24 yrs of age to d time of award. E.g let say u r 24 now n ur nxt birthday is may. Dey award arnd june datz meanz u r disqualify base on age issue

are you trying to say that a 17 year old candidate to be 18 in June (late june ) should normally not be awarded ? UG

Minimum age is 18 AT THE TIME OF TAKING UP THE AWARD ...
does this mean candidates must be 18 before they are called up or before the academic session starts ??

Can you people see crowd? A reasonable northern should count back and judge the achievement of their pasted leaders and compare with what they have been favoured with under this dispensation. Troubles in the north is never Jonathan's making, but, their brothers and sisters in politics, their brothers and sisters that have governed them; their brothers and sisters that are religious extremists. The power to stop whatever that is befalling them now, is within them if they believe and stand for the truth.

A reasonable person without sentiment and selfish aim should be able to ask himself or herself a question ever he or she was born, if he or she has seen...


* any school built in his name.
* any borehole constructed by him.
* Is there any record of scholarship awarded by him or for him nor through him.
* him use his popularity to canvass for any charitable work nor any humanitarian
effort, not even at the height of the polio scourge where other purposeful and prominent leaders lead the campaign for immunization.
* No single text book has been donated to any school either by him, for him or through him.
* Asides from doing nothing, he has not improved himself since his exit from office.
* No book written, no memoirs, no lectures,nothing.
* The only thing of note he can point to are his numerous interviews on the BBC Hausa station.
* He's never championed for a university in his state nor has he ever been involved in any kind of programme to better the lives of the Almajiris in Daura both in and out of office.
* His entire existence has not led to any meaningful development in Daura, yet they say he can change Nigeria.

Charity as they say, begin at home.

* No wonder he was referred to as being ''perpetually unelectable''.
* He is not a patron to any organization, group or association.
* No professional body in Nigeria has ever invited him for their lecture, convention or gala night.
* The only time any known form, body or human assemblage ever chose him to do anything for
them was when the Boko Haram terrorist sect nominated him as their spoke person in the proposed talks with the Fed. Govt in Saudi Arabia...
He recently joined twitter because of election...he recently went to a church service because of elections
