EHI9ICE:
Aliyu333 please Tell me more about Sokoto.I am from Edo State so i know almost to nothing about Sokoto save for the basic fact that its a State in Nigeria.


Anything you say will be most helpful-Be it Pros or Cons.

Dunno much but sokoto is among the farthest of the northwest states. It is very close to kebbi and a hausa majority state. It is actually one of, if not the post peaceful states in the north.
Things are relatively cheap and sokoto people are accommodating ( just respect them and their culture). It is a sandy place since you know its close to the sahara and kinda sunny, yes sunny. The city of sokoto is okay and sokoto people are very rich in culture, so their is alot of cultural and reserves game for sightsaw. And yea it houses one of the good university in the north UDUSOK so you can say there are more of other tribes and religion as compared to states like Jigawa, Kebbi or zamfara.
Remember its not in the northeast so it is not extremely far. Sorry for typos and sorry I dont know much.

WEARING CLOTHES IS ONE THING. ATTACHING MORAL VALUE TO CLOTHES IS ANOTHER THING. CLOTHES ARE CLOTHES. WHETHER YOU COVER YOURSELF FROM HEAD TO TO IN CLOTHES OR WHETHER YOU DON'T DOES NOT DETERMINE WHETHER YOU'RE A GOOD OR BAD PERSON.
TO BELIEVE IT DOES IS JUST DUMB

To believe it doesnt is even more dumb. Opinion vary.

STUPIDITY DOESN'T DESERVE RESPECT. IF YOU THINK WRAPPING YOURSELF UP LIKE A MUMMY MAKES YOU A BETTER HUMAN BEING THAN THOSE WHO DON'T, THEN YOU'RE EXISTING ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL OF STUPIDITY THAN NORMAL

“Man in The early times was almost naked, and as his intellect evolved he started wearing clothes. What I am today and what I’m wearing represents the highest level of thought and civilization that man has achieved, and is not regressive. It’s the removal of clothes again that is regressive back to ancient TIMES.” --- Tawakkul Karman

Wetin be muslim woman?? So everything must be religion battered. I dont see ... woman or ... man when it is people of other religion. Woman na woman, point na point, you must not hide under religion to prove that.

ZestAri:
6th June?! This is too bad.
Almost 1 month after call up letter? Quite unusual.

Yea, though even the call up letter date is tentative. It might be shifted closer to the orientation.

Nairalane:
Donveek, good work out here. But am suggesting a WhatsApp group if there is none yet. This reloading of pages will make some miss vital Infos: they left nairaland on page 107, and coming back to see, page 274, they will just move to last page swiftly.....leaving the updates in between.....

And whatsapp inko? You will leave 10 message and come back to a thousand since it is very easy to just comment and send there in.

Nairalane:
Hello guys, is it not high time we created a WhatsApp group for constant and consistent updates......

Honestly no, whatsapp will be filled with unnecessary comments since it is a chat forum, therefore many important message will be lost in the process. Secondly, I think whatsapp groups has a total number limit, so what will others do when the group get full??.
Whatsapp will be cool once we have seen our call up letter, so each state cm can join their respective posted state group.
And finally not all phones that have access to internet can whatsapp, so what will happen to those using small phones

DonVeek:
Yes that's also true. Are u a student of ABU?

Yes

DonVeek:
Thus far, students from UNILAG, UNI ABUJA, OAU, UNIPORT, POLY IB, FUNAAB, MOUAU, UNN, Benue state Uni and Bida Poly have all confirmed that their schools have either pasted or uploaded the mobilization list. Pls if you're from these aforementioned schools do well to go and check or verify your names and start getting your documents ready. Avoid fire brigade approach!!!

To those whose schools are still yet to release the list, pls remain calm and collected. We'll all see our names in due time. Hence, there's no reason to start getting anxious over nothing.

Lastly, are there no students from UNILORIN or those from private universities/polytechnics on this platform?

ABU too.

What If na she win am?? Una for carry her fly go romania?? Bloody wannabes.

amiibaby:
Okay that's cool

with the way people dey yab tboss na how she take get 16%?

lilzcee:
the school changed the question, i used the past question to do revision buh they changed the question

sorry but this made me laugh, laugh really hard. More often than not questions are changed than repeated, all you try to do is understand the pattern of how they are set, minutes given and all that and sometimes you can plead with the lecturer with that year's marking scheme. You can turn the tides in your favour man, I know a girl who started with 2.0 and a carry over in our first year, and the second semester, man she made a perfect 5.0.
You have what it takes, try to like the school, forget it is in a village, talking of strict? Have you being to ABU or OAU?? And students are making good grades despite the odds even there.

Coolboi05:
Sure I did.. More than 160 in my dept

congratx

Sodiq3:

CarolineOlawale:

useless Olosho with a thousand fathers!

Seriously you are avoiding ban? You call me Stupud and someone else beat you at your game and now you are playing the victim. Your cheap insults are weak so I won't stoop so low to do same.

Ashleydolls:
In summary please

in summary oh no dino didnt know. To read isnt too hard.

Fola Ojo

Nigeria is a land of the miraculous. With or without God, all things wonderful, whacky, and weird are possible. More miracles occur in Nigerian politics than they do inside millions of synagogues that litter Nigerian streets. If you live outside of Nigeria, make sure you don’t die until you visit the country. My beautiful nation is a fecund land where the milk and honey of the miraculous flow without end. I am not faintly enthralled scribbling about Dino Melaye; the lawmaker representing Kogi West in the Nigerian Senate. I have heard about his exploits at the Ahmadu Bello University where he has sturdily defended his study of Geography. Dino’s story is a good movie script even for America’s Hollywood.

Dino is boisterous. Sometimes, he cracks me up with his flailing antics. He flunked flat in his High School final examination. So, what? I flunked my first attempt too. I was not just as lucky to secure a plum spot in a Nigerian university with a failing grade. My parents weren’t that connected to big men who made such nausea happen. More than that, I am from the South-West, not from the North. There has never been any special treatment for my kind of breed in Nigeria. I had to get it straight before moving on to greater exploits. I had to sweat blood to become what I have become; whatever it now is. Many of us from the South-West; albeit, the entire South, had to. Our children will also have to. It is a generational have-to.

Our honourable senator found his way into the study halls of ABU with flunked test results. If that is the cream of people ABU fantasises nourishing; it’s none of my business.

What is new in Nigeria? Once upon a time, a man was behind bars; and from seclusion, he won an election into the Nigerian Senate. A man in jail can run for office in Nigeria and win. Another guy in the same Senate was reportedly convicted abroad for drug-dealing. His party and people were privies; he ran for election and won. He is a senator in Nigeria today. A wanted man serving in a body that makes laws for 170 million people? Different kinds of human beings in the Nigerian Senate; can you believe that?

Today, a man in serious corruption infraction presides over the body. Bukola Saraki has succeeded running rings around President Muhammadu Buhari. Saraki has more loyalists both in the House and Senate than does President Buhari. Even some men who serve at the pleasure of Mr. President genuflect before Saraki. Dino’s braggadocios and blusters are driven by the stout stand-by Saraki accords him. As long as Saraki is Senate President, Dino will be Dino!

Saraki and Dino co-run the Senate with ex-governors who once depleted their states to the red while serving. Some of the ex-governors built hospitals worth billions of dollars from where they cannot seek care for a broken toe-nail. They enjoy retirement benefits for life for doing nothing but sleazing and mooching off the back of hungry and poor Nigerians. This Senate is not only sinning; it is sickening and sick. Can a sick Senate heal a dying nation?

Anyone who thinks for a nanosecond that Dino is the only rhino in the attack on decency and orderliness in the present political arrangement in Nigeria must be on opium. In my father’s country, there are many DINOS. Both the Senate and the House of Representatives may be full of men and women who do not possess the credentials they boast and brag about.

If there ever will be an audit of credentials in our governors’ mansions and Houses of Assembly, there will be a tsunami. Artisans with no qualifying schooling experiences are Speakers in our Houses of Assembly. Militants with elementary school credentials are Majority Leaders in others. Herdsmen whose birth places and credentials are not verified are writing laws and budgets for many Nigerian states. Illiterates and unlettered rule and make laws for the lettered and learned. In Nigeria, you may have to be a lawbreaker to become a lawmaker. And these lawbreaker-lawmakers who took oaths to serve Nigeria may not have an understanding what they swore to.

Democracy has become a mockery in a land full of clowns and men with crowns. I never imagined Nigeria will be in this state of emergency when we chanted hoarse for change in 2015. Very many rules, laws and regulations which emanate from our legislature are self-serving and self-deceiving. A nation in self-deception is heading into self-destruction. Lawmakers who are jumping up and down defending Dino may be defending themselves against the day of judgment that’s about to come because their credentials and creed lack credibility. If they can succeed squelching this one against their friend, they have killed two birds with one stone.

Very many men in Nigeria’s political leadership are not who they say they are. That saddens me. The certificate saga rumbling in the Senate is not the illness by itself; it is a symptom of deeper trouble Nigeria is in today. There is a pattern of fraud, corruption, gangsterism and profligacy across the land. Will Nigeria ever get it right?

Did Dino Melaye err? We may never get a straight answer. Big men in error are never penalised in Nigeria. A politician may be a forger of certificates, a robber of the treasury, a padder of budgets or a cutter of grass; if he is big, or connected to a big man, he will not go to jail. Big men rarely go to jail in Nigeria, and they do, they can speedily obtain a ‘black market’ bail even after conviction as a former Adamawa governor did last week; little people frequently do. Big men don’t lose their jobs for work-related offences, little men who know no men do for the thinnest infraction.

Did Dino know that a day such as this will ever come? Did he ever think that the world will be discussing his uncertified and uncertifiable certificate? No! Dino didn’t know! I am sure Dino didn’t care. Big men always get away with “murder”. Nigeria!!! A country so blessed, so bountiful, so buoyant, yet so bruised and battered by brutish bandits! Before I conclude, let this be ingrained in your memory; after all the hues and cries; after all the hollers and howls; and after all the slams and whams on his person and politics; Dino Melaye will remain a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
