If it's pilgrimage you ask, well I have news Flash for you. Shia Muslims don't go to to Mecca for pilgrimage. ask and find out yourself.

Cc that nigga called fiznation who claims he is not a Sunni.

It's now clear that you re a Sunni with this explanation.

Thanks buddy.

fiizznation:
Ayatollahi kameni you mean? Well people say in karbala(a place in Iran), but that's his problem. Muslims are only guided by the teachings of the holy Quran or the hadith and that's that. And the holy Quran said we should perform our pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia(makkah/medina/mina) and this is final

Ok,where does all his supporters do their hajj?

fiizznation:
You see, you are very ignorant my friend. I'm not a Shiite neither am I a sunni. I'm a practicing muslim. And Uthman(a.s) isn't even the person the shiites are following.


Saudi have the Ka'abah in it and that's why Muslims from all over the world pay homage to makkah

Where does ayatollah performs his hajj?

fiizznation:
lol. And who are the Sunni Muslims? You guys are comedians. I'm a muslim, not a Sunni or Shiite muslim. And that's how many Nigeria Muslims view themselves.

Liar , u must be a Shia or sunni.
U must see Iran or Saudi as your mentor.
U must believe that uthman or abubakar should av taken over after Mohamed saw.

Proudlyngwa:
So front page is no more about intellectualism.
Seun your site is loosing it.
How can only ten posts make front page.

Learner...

Check all those post again and see if u won't be jotting the point they have made.

With what I am seeing it will be too easy to defeat apc in 2019,unless things changes.

An average northerner will defeat Buhari.

I am saying this because the south east will vote massively against Buhari(a huge number of s/easterner,Massob and upon members did not vote simply because they believed that nigeria is not their country, this time they, I mean 95% of all Igbo anywhere in the country will vote unitedly against buhari.

2. A northerner contesting against Buhari can take only 30% of ne and nw,then that's fine by all calculation,fielding dakwambo will get more than 45%

3.the nc and ss will go against a Fulani man,moreover they are even minority anyway.

4. The Sw......... unpredictable as amala and red oiled soup.

adonbilivit:
why do u want to know?

Whoever performed last is likely to be the biggest and most expensive star for the night.


So do u know who?

Who performed last?

Who performed last ?

[quote author=thinkative post=52178617]regarding the ranking. she ranked 103 among the jambites. 100 students were admitted in all for medicine. but those 100 were not all jambites. direct entry admissions were included. ur logic here does not take the direct entries into consideration.

and I don't think its nice to call the provost names. he should be applauded for showing concern (if its really is true that the reply is from him). most university dons I know wouldn't care a hoot cos they know there's nothing anyone can do about it in this Godforsaken country![/

how did the de now get 75. something? how did they divide theirs too.

you dont have sense! trying to bting excuse from fowl nyarsh.

This is coming from a nairalander with d Monika Adesegunfat


My name is Adesegun Fatusi, and I am the Provost of the College of Health Sciences, OAU, Ile-Ife. The case of the Aror Oghenerukewve has just been brought to my notice. To throw more light on her case, I will present the detaild fact here.

With a score of 320, her mark from UTME amounts to 80% (i.e. 320/400 x 100)
Her school cert results are: English A1 (=8 marks); Biology C4 (=5 marks); Chemistry B3 (=6 marks); Maths B3 (=6 marks); Physics C4 (=5 marks); Physics C4 (=5 marks); Further Maths B2 (=7marks), and Civic Educ A1 (=8 marks). That gives her 45 points, or 70.3% (i.e. 44/64x100)

So her overall average - as OAU did a combination of 50% mark from JAMB and 50% mark from School Cert - is: (80+70.3)=75.15% (which we rounded up to 75.2%).

With that mark, she ranks number 103 on the list of the students who took Medicine as first Choice.

The total admission quota for Medicine in OAU is 100, and that includes UTME and Direct Entry).

Clearly although Aror did well, her mark was NOT good enough to earn her admission on merit to read Medicine in Ife. Her mark of 75.2% is clearly below our cut-off mark (which was initially 78%, but we later reduced to 77.7%). Between her mark of 75.2% and 77.7%, by the way, there were 56 other candidates who scored higher than her but did not make the cut-off. For example, two people had 77.6%, two other people had 77.5%, four people had 77.4% etc.
Having presented the detailed facts about Aror's case, let me also help the many young Nigerians who may be accessing this site with more information on admission as I see a lot of misrepresentation, falsehood, and misunderstanding from the comments that various people had made on this case.

1. Admission into Nigerian Universities are considered on three grounds based on the nationally specified criteria (which I think ought to be reviewed now, by the way):
A. Merit =45% (This covers all candidates from the country - and it is automatic admission once you meet the cut-off mark)
B. Catchment = 35% (this refers to those in the states specified as catchment area for each University: For OAU, that is Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Oyo, Osun and Ekiti)
C. Educationally disadvantaged states (ELDS)=20% = This refers to all the 19 Northern States, and Ebonyi, Rivers and Bayelsa.

So, someone from Delta such as Aror with 75.2% will not get admission into Medicine in OAU automatically as she is only considered on merit criterion and she does NOT meet the specified cut-off, but someone with the same mark from Kwara (which is in the North Central zone) may get automatic admission with the same mark based on the consideration of ELDS if 75.2% is the specified cut-off for ELDS for Medicine.

2. When a candidate chooses a highly competitive course like Medicine in a top-rated University like OAU, the competition is very intense. Believe it or not, many of the candidates that made our merit mark had an average of six A1s in school cert coupled with very high UTME mark (above 300). So, a candidate must carefully think over his choice of course and university. For example, if Aror had chosen ANY other course as her first choice for OAU, whe would have made the merit mark and gotten automatic admission, and she would have made the merit mark for Medicine on merit for most Nigerian universities too (but NOT OAU unfortunately).

3. Because of the high demand and competition for very limited spaces, the College of Health Sciences does not consider second choices as a general rule. OAU, for example, was only able to offer admission on UTME platform (Merit + Catchment + ELDS) to less than 3% of her applicants for Medicine, and less than 2% of her applicants for Nursing Science this year.

4. For cases like Aror where the candidadte has made a high mark but does not make the cut-off, what the candidate can sometimes do is to come to the University and try and see if he or she can be considered for other courses. A candidadte DOES NOT get considered automatically for a course she has not applied to in JAMB. A candidadte is ONLY automatically considered for the course he or she has applied for with respect to a particular university.

Unfortunately, Aror has left her case too late as all admission lists have been submitted for this year.

1. she came 103 while tge cut off was 100, there were Just 2 CAndidatea that did better than her but werent shortlisted

2.in another statement she said the cut off was 77.7 while sshe scored 75.2 and from 77.7 to her 75.2 there are 56 other candidates before her

you see there is no perfect liar.

Bros, instead of making assumptions just go to google and verify for yourself.

he actually tithed 10% and not 6%, these were his words....

"if I had not tithed the first dollar I made I would not have tithed the first million dollars I made".

True, He did many charitable works but He also tithed.
Both are not exclusive of each other.

Explorers:
Mr Karlov (right) was about to give a speech at an art exhibition when the gunman burst in and began firing at him, shouting about the situation in Aleppo.

But from the video he was at his back,maybe he is his body guard.

because of he is not ,then where is his body guard,why was there no response for over 30secs after the first shot,?

The solution: preach condom aggressively
I wonder how many girls I would AV impregnated if I have done it without my best friend on, "condom"

The reason for the mutiny is senseless,the world military will laff @ us if these affected soldiers are not court martialed summarily.

But APC government made a political base of the last mutiny,so everything goes.


If these are not checked,even a bloody unsuccessful coup will go unpunished.

When you Dont have a house of your own but has 3 or more policemen protectinq yhu..

I quess you need to see TB Joshua for prayers..

how do u know he doesnt have a house?

people like that might have estates in not so developed area or in their states but due to proximity to work he chose to stay in surulere.

i have houses in ABA and onitsha but i pay rent of 1.3 million naira in surulere.

he said they were not student doctor,he didnt say if they were corper doctor or not...

this guy is a snake,an unrepentant venomous black mamba with a red hair.

we no dull na,we sef serve na,we know say doctors for camp na fellow corper,its a different arguement is we say they have adequate experience for non-surgical treatment placing our arguement on having done workmanship and teaching hospital training(which i dont think is enough experience).

seun,you are a good man.

ever since i joined nairaland,i hardly visit any other forum and news sites because i believe we have it all here in nairaland.

but,there is still one major thing left,this major thing is why i still visit facebook,twitter and linda ikeji social etc...

thats the chat and communication issue,why should i not be able to chat instantly with those i am following and those who are following me.
its understandable for security reason not to chat with any one on nairaland,but the very moment you follow some one,that will to some extendt build a relationship that is worth instant chating.
arent u happy when nairalanders marry themselves? dont u want to see more of that?

this amechi is biting more than he can chew.

• Governors to issue orders to CPs
• We’ll enforce the law, say Police
• Obasanjo, Amosun seek support for officers
• Control by govs recipe for disaster

Nigeria’s Senate is stepping up efforts at saving democracy from executive abuse. It plans to amend the Constitution to decentralise the police force, whittle down the powers of the President over commissioners of police by giving state governors the power of the ‘last command.’

Through a gazetted Senate Bill 346 sponsored by Solomon Olamilekan of the All Progressives’ Congress (APC) from Lagos East Senatorial District, the Upper Legislative Chamber has given full powers to governors to issue unconditional directives to the Police in their states.

A copy of the Bill obtained by The Guardian, specifically deleted the proviso in section 215 (4) of the 1999 Constitution as amended that empowered the President to overrule any orders given to a Police Commissioner by the state governor.

The Bill also seeks to nullify the provision in section 215(5) which had prevented any court from entertaining cases arising from such orders issued by the President to the police.

Greater control of the police by states will douse tension between the presidency and state governments over local policing, bolster efforts at fighting crime and ease governance. Effective policing at that level would also help states build the required infrastructure to create jobs.

There have been loud calls for political restructuring of the country for effective policing at the state and local government levels in response to rising spate of crime, including insurgency, armed robbery and kidnapping. The idea of state police has received increasing support despite Federal Government’s insistence on total control of the force. It was also part of the recommendations of the 2014 National Conference convened by former President Goodluck Jonathan which the current government has refused to implement.

Security experts have however said, without appropriate checks and balances in place, governors’ control of police commissioners in their states would be a “recipe for disaster.”

Managing Director of Beacon Security Consulting, Kabir Adamu, expressed worry that the political situation in Nigeria does not favour the decision, as its implementation would help political and self-serving interest prevail.

He said: “But I think it would be better if one sees the checks and balances the Senate intends to introduce in the new law and to ensure that this very vital institution of law enforcement is not used to serve either political party or self interest. If they do not introduce checks and balances, then it is a recipe for national disaster,” Adamu argued.

Aliu Umar Babangida, who manages the Abuja-based Goldwater &Riversand Consult, a defence and national security firm, agreed with Adamu. “It is necessary but not yet the right time to allow governors exercise control over Commissioners of Police,” he told The Guardian .

The Police force in its reaction said it would simply enforce any law made by the Legislature and signed by the Executive arm of government.

“I can’t comment on political decisions; we are professionals and law enforcers. Whatever law comes into force, we would obey, Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), Don Awunah, told The Guardian.

He described the Police as an agency vested with the responsibility of enforcing the law, while the National Assembly makes the laws.

The specific amendment that removed the obstacle on the way of state governors in directing the police commissioners reads: “The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (in this Bill referred to as “the Principal Act”) is altered as set out in this Bill. Section 215 of the Principal Act is altered by deleting the provision to subsection 4.”
The same section 215 is also altered by deleting immediately after the word “shall” in line 3, the word “not” in subsection 5. 3.”

The Bill, when successfully passed by the Senate, will face little hurdle in the state legislatures which are required to endorse any amendment of the constitution by the national legislature before it becomes valued. But with the governors already itching to enjoy powers similar to having a state police, the amendment could have a smooth sail in the 36 Houses of Assembly.
