Hi, I thought you're already earning money from what DinaGlory showed you, why do you still need a "sponsor" for your music?

olabodesamdex:
I have written some music yet to be recorded and I really want to start recording this year.

If you can sponsor me to record my songs, please send an e-mail to me on gd128729@gmail.com or call 09018998745.

Please state if there are anything involved if you sponsor me, also let me in on any details I will need before we start so as to avoid any misunderstanding later on.

Music is gospel.

Thanks.

These are some pictures of the robots. If Benin Republic had done this, we would praise them to high heavens & pump our fist at our own country but now that it's in our own backyard, our cynicism won't even allow us acknowledge that we at least did something right here.

Na wa o. Filter & all the other stuffs some ladies do really help enhance their appearance. See as this Shyngle be like one bouncer. Damn!!

Am I the only person who felt somewhat "irritated" by the images; especially how the snow/ice formed? Wished I hadn't opened this particular thread.

I guess this is one major reason why newly born babies are referred to as "bundle of joy". See as dem wrap the baby true true like parcel congratulations to Ogbonna & Laura.

Ehen? Okay, perhaps this is one of the reasons his very imposing & popular mansion on Gana Street was marked "Under Investigation" by EFCC? I see.

Maxymilliano:
So sad!!! Why shooting into the air when there was no immediate threat to the life of his principal

How does one wraps one head around issues like this ?

The thing weak me. One can only imagine how a moment of wild celebration has led to the loss of valuable life.

I hope celebrities, politicians, socialites & the likes who condone such juvenile & primitive displays by their security aides as a form of celebration would learn from this unfortunate tragedy.

immaculatesense:
Proof ur point...I still go with Tambuwal with the point dat he was a former speaker of d house of rep during dos period mentioned and he is one of the governors just vindicated by the court...plis tell me ur point...I will admit if u proof me otherwise...I always learn with points

Who is arguing with you? Believe whatever you want, your headache, not mine.

People won't read nor digest the information properly before mentioning Ihedioha, Uzodinma, Bala Mohammed or Tambuwal.

The serving governor (who mustn't be named) in question is Bello Matawalle of Zamfara.

Premium Times did an extensive report on this particular matter & the findings are mind-blowing �; the level of corruption in this country ehn, it'll take more than EFCC, ICPC or any other commission for that matter to put a stop. The system is riddled with too many loopholes that makes sleaze very easy to perpetrate.

Oh dear!! Nigeria failed you Leah... We failed you... Being kidnapped and held in only God knows conditions wasn't enough, the terrorists had to forcefully marry you off to one of theirs, most likely raped you & now you're forced to become mother to a child you probably never wanted. What a life

May God punish Boko Haram and their sponsors.

The North unfortunately, is reaping what it sowed. The downturn is it'll mostly affect the downtrodden, vulnerable, innocent, generations unborn & even have a spillover effect on other parts of the country.

May the security agencies rescue those abducted alive & give their abductors a slow but painful exit.

I've got the same phone with just a burnt motherboard. No thanks to the huge voltage charger. If your motherboard is still OK, can we discuss a trade?

Ok. Motherboard confirmed in good condition. Let me know how this works. Cheers.

When the issue of Goodness and A.B.U came up, many, who should've based their arguments on facts presented or merits/demerits of the case, decided to turn it into an ethno-religious matter for obvious reasons.

Now, the argument is sort of balanced & no one is bringing up the candidate's ethnicity or religion into the matter; if the situation had been different, we all know the direction majority would've gone with their argument.

I don't know if the motherboard is ok as that would be determined by a phone technician but I'll find that out ASAP.

OnPointMan:
You have used it for 2years. It has served you enough now.

Lol. True. That's why the thing no too pain me only that it packed up at a time I least expected & was broke. But that particular incident taught me a valuable lesson; no more patronage of relatively unknown & new entrant mobile phones.

I'm on this table. Towards end of 2017, bought this seemingly "cheap" phone Oukitel K6000+ (nice specs with very good battery) for N22,000 inclusive shipping. Sometime last year the phone just shutdown & all efforts to bring it back to life failed as most technicians I took the phone to didn't have the software.

Forgot to mention that the phone dropped & had a cracked screen, which was still working except the fingerprint scan until it suddenly shut down. Even getting the screen replaced locally was a problem as it was unavailable in shops.

The phone is somewhere I don't even know again sef

Elzak:
But some people who don't know how admission works in ABU were shouting religion up and down.

They will still come to comment without reading the post.

I read all the responses to your submission & it's obvious, all didn't bother to read the news item, read it but couldn't comprehend or read & decided just to remain in ignorance.

From the report & evidences allegedly tabled before the JAMB boss, the lady in question wasn't denied admission to study medicine based on "quota" as some have claimed but merit; that much was confirmed by Prof. Oloyede who said A.B.U gave admission to the best two candidates to study the course based on merit.

From Niger, based on the average scores, the lady came third (by JAMB score, she obviously is the highest from her state but when the Post-UTME scores are factored in, she is third).

EFCC's modus operandi will never cease to baffle me. I mean, the ex-AGF/Justice Minister had reportedly been on the anti-graft commission's radar for a long time & one would've believed that during the period he stayed away from the country, all the investigations on his alleged corrupt deeds while in office would've been concluded & evidences needed to build a solid case for conviction in court would've been gathered too but they still have to keep him in custody for 14 days??

Meanwhile, for those trying to turn this thread into a tribal disco, can y'all just stopeeeet already? For Pete's sake, Adoke is from Benue State & in the eyes of the law, presumed innocent until proven guilty.

It's sad really that the young lady didn't get admitted to study the course of her dreams. But what's even more saddening is reading responses from those who have no idea how A.B.U works to use this opportunity to expose their preconceived ethno-religious biases.

There's no perfect university anywhere on earth but it's also not a hidden fact that A.B.U is the most cosmopolitan public university in Nigeria.

EMDIEY:
Thank you o, people dont even know what they are saying, this is MEDICINE o where the bests of the best meet. Y'all will be shocked that there is someone from her region with score higher than hers. No doubt the girl is good and deserves something good, but the score that looks unattainable to u people is a common occurrence in medicine. Except if ABU has changed, there is always room for merit, then another factor is catchment area, and all in all there is fairness. Her average score if post utme and jamb are added is 288 is a very good score but i bet u there are score on average of above 300 that apply for same course from her state, if not she would have gotten. Don't forget the slots are so limited that in some states u only have 1 candidate taken, ofcourse has to be the best.
I'm really sorry for her predicament, but don't be so hasty in passing justice without indepth knowledge of what happened. The VC wouldn't even flinch cos he know he would win if u people sue him.

abusurv:
You are absolutely right,I remembered then when we are in school, people looking for admission go to the extends of getting local government birth certificate from kogi state just to get admission into ABU,it's so bad 20 years ago

Wow!! You say 20 years ago?? Didn't even realise the practice went as far back. E don tey wey people don dey scramble to enter A.B.U be dat.

That's another factor some institutions take into consideration but knowing A.B.U if she was below the age limit, she wouldn't even be offered any admission at all, let alone, Human Anatomy.

crazygod:
I guess nobody is stating the obvious. She was probably denied because of her age. Some institutions have age limit for admission

If you're ignorant of the fact that candidates that pick any University as "first choice" while filling their UTME forms are eligible to write Post-UTME of such varsities - whether they're from the "catchment areas" or not, it means my response is way above your level of understanding.

gaskiyamagana:
Story, story, stories.
When she is not from their catchment area why not disallow her from post UTME?

Read most of the responses to this story & majority spoke from an emotional point of view - which is understandable - considering how religion and ethnic jingoism have taken centre stage in present day Nigeria.

However, anyone who is very familiar with the admission process in A.B.U (I speak now as one who was born, bred & educated within the vicinity of that citadel of learning, not as an "uninformed" commentator) will tell you straight up that while "catchment area" (a policy the President has directed should be abolished forthwith, don't know if the institution adhered to it) plays a great role in securing admission especially if you're from the "core" northern states, meritocracy is also a contributing factor.

It's on the basis of the latter that I suspect Miss Goodness didn't secure admission to study the course of her choice. Before you get me wrong, let me explain further; the young lady had very good UTME/Post-UTME scores as well as excellent grades in O'levels according to the author but for someone who comes from Kogi - which is a catchment area - trust me when I say her grades/scores probably paled in comparison to other candidates from the state who applied to study medicine.

Anyone who knows will tell you for free that candidates from Kogi State applying for admission into A.B.U are the most competitive & probably hold the largest number of applicants. In fact, due to the clamour to gain admission into A.B.U. many applicants from states in the Southwest (outside the "catchment area" now claim Kogi (similarly in names between Yoruba & Okun peoples) to help brighten their chances. And many of these "acquired" indigenes have very good scores/grades too, thereby, swelling the ranks of those seeking admission into A.B.U from the state. In contrast, other less "intelligent" candidates from the state, due to the stiff competition, have in turn acquired "certificate of indigene" from other "core" northern states (similarity in names as well especially when it's not a tribal one e.g the names Khadijat Yusuf or Abdullahi Mohammed can be borne by any northerner or Igala/Ebira/Okun Muslim without telling the difference their real states of origin) to help increase their chances of admission.

Finally, Miss Goodness may not have gotten admission to study Medicine & Surgery, she's perhaps fortunate because she could've been flung to "far away" Faculty of Sciences to study Biological Sciences or even Biochemistry or whatever they're called these days. It's a good thing she's still within the Faculty of Medicine (or is it now a college? Not sure anymore) & if she's still determined to study Medicine, the experience & additional knowledge she'll gain in her first year as a student of Human Anatomy would've prepared her to retake her UTME/POST-UTME & earn very high scores (higher than what she initially scored) that even if she hails from Mars, those in the admission's office will have no choice but to offer her the admission.

I've discovered a long time ago to just read & pass on some comments coz to reply is a waste of time. The person sat in their house, office or wherever & concluded a man, who was clearly favourite to win re-election (with all the intra-party squabbles that plagued Malam's opponent's political party) didn't win and even has the temerity to bring God into the matter.

BabangidaHamza:
So who won the election?

Someone who actually knows how Banire was appointed has spoken. As at the time the ex-national legal adviser of the APC was appointed, BAT was never in support coz he'd a well publicised spat with Banire & far as I know, they've not reconciled.
The same way people saw the non-renewal of Fowler's tenure as FIRS Chairman as a spite to Tinubu is the same way they're interpreting this particular action of the President but anyone who knows will tell you both men's appointments in the first place, was without the blessings of the ex-Lagos governor.

fyneguy:
Banire actually has a rift with Tinubu. In fact, Tinubu was against his appointment.

Carry me along oo. Iya Oyo, here we come

DeNovo:
So Obasanjo Sat in ota and influenced the composition of observer teams from Japan, France, EU, the African Bar association etc? Then in my opinion there two possi bilities:

1.Someone must be taking us for fools

Or

2. Obasanjo must be a god!!!

You decide which is likely.

The thing weak me... The way OBJ is being mystified, he may just have a say in who becomes the next U.S President.
