MrsAnyanwu:Sincerely speaking anyone that accept 2.6 bt I know of Bayero University, Kano, they accept minimum of 2.7 |
llawal:Y must he do pgd? If he had a good 2:2, he doesn't need to go for pdg. Some uni accept minimum of 3.00, while some accept 2.7, 2.5 or 2.6 |
osifred:That is not true. It may come handy in applying for college of education and it is not even compulsory there bt compulsory for you to go higher in position there. Bt for university, it is not a must at all. All those lecturers in Faculty of Engineering, Science, Medicine and science based department and even arts and commercial based don't have background in educational courses or Post graduate diploma in education. |
Demigods:She should pretend as if nothing is happening bah and then later get STIs |
Mordyb:Guy, the Aminu's are not northerner ooo bt Yoruba. Conc Yoruba. While one is called Al Farouk Aminu, the other is called Alade Aminu |
BUHARI: TURNING APPOINTMENTS INTO DISAPPOINTMENTS By Jaafar Jaafar Ponder over this Hausa proverb: “sawun keke ba’a gane gabanka”, which roughly translates to “a bicycle’s contact patch does not tell where it comes from or where it heads to”, and see how it aptly describes Nigeria’s president, Muhammadu Buhari. Bearing in mind the current realities in our polity, how would you, in your wildest dream, think the Secretary to the Government of the Federation will come from the North? The very North that has a President, a Senate President, a Speaker, an SGF, a Head of Service, a Chief of Staff, a Chief Justice, and what not? While Mr. President is likened to the proverbial “sawun keke”, the pigmentation of his appointments may be likened to “birgimar hankaka”, literally meaning the wallow of a pied crow. When a pied crow wallows, the Hausa say, you will see both the white patch on its gullet and the black plumage that covers most of the bird’s body. In the appointment of the GMD of NNPC, President Buhari showed Nigerians the “white” patch on his gullet. But like crow, as he lurches and rolls over yesterday, Nigerians saw the “other” – thank my euphemism – side of the president. I was working on a story in the newsroom when I received a call from someone close to the president complaining bitterly about the political danger of frustrating politicians in making political appointments, and also the skewed nature of the appointments. “Haji Jaafar,” he said after exchanging pleasantries, “you have to say something about this issue. The president wants to appoint Abba Kyari as Chief of Staff. Why are most of the appointments mainly going to North East.” I can sense his bias. As usual, I bared my mind, telling him that the president should watch his step as “there is election after every election”. I also told him, matter-of-factly, that the president’s appointments should bear political colour since politicians bankrolled his campaigns and worked for his success. Few hours after we spoke, the president’s spokesman, Femi Adesina, formally released the story. Adesina himself is one of the wrong appointments President Buhari made. Adesina may be professionally competent to handle the job, but as I said previously Dele Alake, Dele Momodu and Abike Dabiri-Erewa are both professionally and politically competent to handle the job. Buhari suffered for 12 years trying to prove to the world that he was neither religious bigot nor ethnic champion nor clannish (the very word I often used to describe Jonathan). During campaign, in a bid to show that he was true a Nigerian, Buhari wore all manner of dresses – from Yoruba’s kembe, dansiki and sokoto to Igbo’s okpu agu hat, ukara, wrapper and corals, down to Ijaw’s bowler hat and knee-level black kaftans. It is surprising to note that President Buhari never dressed in this manner since he won election. Wearing these dresses tell a message. His failure to wear them today is not a crime, please. But remember, he wore them for a reason, which is still relevant. It is also surprising that after battling the ethnic agenda stereotypes for 12 years, Buhari’s actions, especially in making appointments, have ethnic bias. Buhari made no clear attempt to free himself from the stereotypes that swarmed, like bees, around him and stung his presidential ambition several times. It makes me angry when I see those who gave Buhari the antidote being relegated. But the Buhari defence league, especially on social media, always argue that “there are over 6,000 appointments at his desk”, and so Nigerians should be patient with him. What I always tell these drummers is that the president is causing unnecessary image crisis for himself, especially in a section of the country. I would also add that even military regimes gauge public perceptions in key decisions. About a week or so I lamented in this column about Buhari’s failure to make key appointments three months after assuming office as president. And here we are – lamenting after he made the appointments. Of course he filled the key vacuums but not the way every right-thinking person would expect. The outcry that greeted the president’s latest appointments is even louder than his failure to make the appointments. It is wrong for a diverse nation like Nigeria to have a President, a Senate President, a Speaker, an SGF, a Head of Service, a Chief of Staff, a Chief Justice, from a section of the country. It is also politically wrong to go beyond any one in the trio Rotimi Amaechi, Obonnaya Onuh and Chris Ngige when appointing an SGF or Chief of Staff. Every right-thinking person would think President Buhari will pick one of them. What is the fault of these Nigerians who were abused by their kinsmen for teaming up with Buhari? What is the fault of these Nigerians (particularly Rotimi Amaechi) who committed their resources to making the dream of Nigerians of having Buhari as president come true? What is the fault of these Nigerians who were abused for telling their people that Buhari was not a tribalist, Buhari is true Nigerian, Buhari loves Ndigbo? I remember a lie told that Buhari’s daughter is married to an Igbo man – all in a bid to tell the world Buhari is detribalised! If after waiting for three months these are the characters Buhari is vetting to appoint, then I am really disappointed in his appointments.

jamcyd:I know nahhh bt it is the first semester of second session this year. |
jamcyd:Hey gal, BUK is stilk far better in terms of school calender. I finished from there and also doing my masters there now and moreover they are about running almost 2 session this year alone. |
blaqoracle:So is it the SW that wish him death? I haven't seen any tangible post that he has appoint the SW apart from spokemanship. It is the South westerners that brush up his image for him to be acepted across the nation and this is how he is paying them back. Is it only the northerners that are competent enough? His sentiments is getting too much. Where is this Tinubu self to talk sense to him? |
Atlantian:Hey hater, can't u comprehend? That practice has been abolished many years ago. Y are u trying to be intolerant, bigot and stupid at the same time. |
otokx:It seem u have a comprehension problem or u didn't understand that post or u just tend to ignore it. The victim was handed over to the lecturer who was his friend. The father of the victim trusted the lecturer. It is not the gal that went on her own, so stop blaming the gal and rape victims. It seem u are a rapist also. |
BishopMagic:Ur idiotic self keep abusing muslims when the OP is a clear Christian, u can even deduce that from his name. But cos u are a bigoted fanatical fellow, u keep on calling him a christian cos u are a big time fool. Hatred of the Muslims will only give u hypertension. |
Onyi42:Stop lying abeg. Which year did UNIZIK get the highest applicants from JAMB? It is always, Unilorin, Unilag, OAU and uniben. |
CyberWolf:Guy, if you have the means, better u go to abroad evem if it is South Africa. Although the fees can be scaring sha. I too although intend to do mine abroad bt couldn't get the means, that is what delayed me in starting my Masters on time. All what we have here is theory and more theory, it is annoying sincerely speaking. But u can still get it by attending some organisation that give thorough practical experience bt it is expensive also and u can only get them in places like Lagos and Abuja. May God see us through with this our Nigeria system of education. |
CyberWolf:My guy, that is the problem with most Nigerian university. What we have been doing so far is theory, theory and theory. Don't know how second semester will look like bt I think it still going to be theory. Bt this Prof U G Dambatta is good both practically and theoretically cos he do tell us about his designs that he made. Mind u he schooled abroad right from his undergraduate to Phd level. So u can't compare him to a 9ja trained engineer. Bt how I wish we could have the much practical knowledge, cos that is the koko |
But this same man has been Chairman of NCC some few years ago. Anyway, congratulations to him and I am proud of his achievements. I am currently running my masters program in Communication engineering in Bayero university, kano and he is taking us Radio frequency and Microwave communication. We even had his lecture yesterday. This man is good and very funny and approachable. Goodluck to him. |
strongerthaneva:SE and SS are not relevant abi but their resources is relevant for the survival of 9ja. Is that not hypocrisy? Let their be justice pls. We voted for change, so let see the change cos what am seeing is not change bt bigotry. |
jay2pee:Anf everything about the south is positive abi? Bigot like you |
freecocoa:U are wrong u know. So those arab christians in Palestine, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq that write, read and converse in arabic are also not literate? |
freecocoa:freecocoa, check what u initially wrote before this. What u are trying to say then was that reading and writing in arabic does not qualify someone to be literate. |
freecocoa:so it is only reading and writing in English that make one to be literate? freecocoa, u disappoint me. |
Sincere9gerian:Check my moniker, I have already done mine. ![]() Sincere9gerian:Check my moniker, I have already done mine. |
mu2sa2:Nope, not only in the SW bt mostly cos of his high handedness nt tribal sentiments. |
May Almighty Allah save us |
enomakos:What is the meaning of this? This is a chauvinist statement |
No matter how we try to twist it. Indecent dressing in wrong. Those countering the OP should think and check deep into their heart, they will see they are on the wrong side. All of you countering the OP will never all your sisters, daughters or wife to dress anyhow and go out. This is hypocrisy. Will u allow ir sisters to wear pant and bra and go to the market all in the name of it is her body. Remember dress the way according to the way u want to be address. |
smemud:Guy pls stop blasphemy pls, do u know the meaning pf Jehovah for u to be saying such nonsense? Try to get some knowledge. By the way, am a muslim like u too. |
madenigga:Which war in their country? Where have u been reading ur news from? Or are u mistaking Iran as Iraq? Iran has not fight any war for many many many years. Its a peaceful country, they only have sanction problem cos the nuclear issue ish |
WombRaiders:U too know that u are such an unrepentant idiotic slowpoke. Don't worry, till Almighty God get hold of u. |
WombRaiders:Go and sit down for one corner abeg with all ur hypocrisy and bigotry |
Ayameze2015:Morell is from Borno State. |
