Yes, but what critera does ABU really follow in admitting candidates? Is it by average or PUTME score?

Politics › Re: Restructure Nig. & Place Politians On Civil Service Salary Structure-nweze, Baje by barackodam: 12:29am On Oct 02, 2018
I've always opined that our lawmakers are the problem of this country.

Imagine them collecting millions of naira monthly, and they're struggling to pay minimum wage.

Those states owing salaries, I'm not sure they owe lawmakers any salary, but they're owing the peasants.

And what do the lawmakers do,
seat down in the chambers,
sleep,
read punch newspaper, which of course they collect allowance for,
stand up to say one or 2 things,
may not say anything for the day even,
collect bribe to pass budgets into law,
never do anything in their constituents for years,
I'm not sure they even do charity events

So, what do they use all the big fat cheques for?

The earlier we realize the senators and house of reps constitute a bigger problem. The earlier we get to solve a lot of problems in this country.

I can't even believe they're dragging minimum wage.


It's a pity, smh

Sir, thanks for this vivid explanation, it is really eye opening I must say. Sir, can u please enlighten me concerning Direct entry admission, since they don't write exams, what is the criteria? You can narrow it down to engineering. Thanks in anticipation.
Honestly speaking, I don't know the criterion behind it. Asides from the minimum requirements of upper class.

It was this semester I realized that my mate who joined us in 200 lvl, actually graduated with upper-class HND, he applied for special admissions, he was supposed to get 300 lvl, but he got 200 lvl instead, and he's from Katsina. So yeah, I was shocked, but I saw his admission letter and know, there's no lie behind it

Very well sir, I get u.... I really appreciate, more power to ur elbow...
Bt on d issue of being d highest scorer for d course frm one state!! This is serious..
Wot can u say abt an average of 304, Civil engineering, Oyo State? any chance? Wot if one or two candidate frm my state hav higher aggregate, will I b given anoda course?
Bruh, I'm telling you, if you get 399, if someone gets 400,and you're both competing, he gets ahead of you.


A friend currently in 300 lvl, civil, lost by 1 mark, the following year, he beat the nearest guy by 1 mark also. Now, if you're going to be given another course? I don't know about that. I don't know criteria behind that
Education › Re: Abu Zaria Admission Threads by barackodam: 9:02am On Sep 30, 2018
Also, when it comes to catchment state, they use Educationally Less Developed states ish.

Someone from a very local lga has a higher chance of getting than you. Example.

I scored 212, I applied from Kwara State, Offa LGA, I got deflected to Agric Engineering...
He scored 180 something, can't remember, applied from Kwara, Kaiama LGA, he got it.

People from his locality aren't so much educated, compared to those from mine, so, the little ones who want to study are always given the chance to, in hope they can develop their places. I hope you get me?

Pls sir, how exactly does abu go abt her admission, I knw they use catchment bt how sure is their merit? We've seen a lot of scenario on facebook whereby an aspirant hav a certain average(high/low) nd he's been told by stalite that it's nt by high average, it's by CONNECTION which is d paramount and major criteria for gaining admission in Abu..... So sir, is it that our average doesn't count at all? we hav to seek internal help before being admitted?
I dunno about other schools, but I can proudly tell you, we're one of the schools who prioritize merit most...

Yes, some people get high score and are not admitted, while others get low score and are admitted. It's a normal occurrence. All you have to do get a score higher than everyone who applied for the course in your state. Simple isn't it? But complicated also, truthfully.

You could get 257, and someone else gets 258, the person is in pole position ahead of you, someone else from another state would get 185, and is the only aspirant from his state, unarguably, the person would get admitted. Now, that's where the lamentations come.

Imagine, I got 257, and didn't get admitted, someone else got 185 and got admitted. Connection, connection, bla bla.

Those whom are from the catchment areas have higher chances of being admitted, because they can take as many as they choose, 5, 6 whatever amount.

My class for example, there are 2 Kwara students, but only 1 ogun student, only one Edo student. You get now? Those from non catchment have to battle it out for just one spot, so, someone can get 180 and get admitted, yet, you who scored 250+ may not get admitted. All you should put in your mind is, get as high as possible and try to beat everyone from your state and you'd be rest assured. Like I mentioned, they take as many as they wish from catchment states.

At 100 lvl, my class had 2 students from Kwara, civil engineering had at least 5, mechanical had about 3 or thereabouts. Civil engineering itself has about 7/8 students from Kogi, same with mechanical, but my department had just 1. So, it's not about favoritism or anything, it's about the protocol they follow, don't let anyone lie to you that they favor Hausa's more too.

Kwara, Kogi and Benue are 3 of 5 most populous students in ABU Zaria, I'm pretty sure none of them is an Hausa or Muslim state

Every good player wants a platform where not only they can shine but where playing time is assured too... Lookman don't look like he'd break into that senior team any time soon, more so he no even get assurance for club side!
Exactly the reason why he's now willing to go for Nigeria.

Afterall, Nigeria has a flair for foreign based

So far you've not represented the senior team in any competitive match, you can represent another country.
