Despite her fake islamic name, notice her thick Yoruba accent, as in for e.g., ''hawa'' for ''our''; ''fron'' for ''from'', ''heverything'' for ''everything''

When ACN does its BOT meeting, does exconvict and drug-pushing Chicago certificate forger, Tinubu, not attend?

kettykin: Just found that Mali is bigger than Britain ,Germany,Austria, Belgium and Ireland all put together

Hahahahaha. Yes oh! This is the season of empty land masses comparing with productive human beings

musiwa7: FSU most of what the govt claim for land size are not correct.. how did the nigeria get those figure explain. satellite picture show they are wrong

Niger State is bigger (or almost so) than the entire SW

Baby mama: I think we should commend the Ogun state government for fishing these dubious characters out.Every state ought to emulate them.
Andy Uba is not from Ogun State
.

At this rate, the entire university ''graduate'' corp in SW will be eliminated as almost all have forged documents. They bust them every year; it is an endless cycle.

Prof Ojerinde

Withholds 27,266 results in eight states



The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board has released the results of the 2012 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, with only three candidates scoring above 300.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the results of 27,266 candidates across eight states were withheld for various reasons.

This was stated by JAMB Registrar/Chief Executive, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, at a news conference in Abuja.

A total of 1,503,931 candidates were registered for the 2012 UTME, which held across the country on March 24, making it the one with the highest number of registered candidates since the existence of JAMB.

Contrary to earlier fears that the Boko Haram sect would disrupt the exam in some Northern states, Ojerinde, said the State Security Service and other security agencies had been engaged to deal with any security threat.

The exam proceeded on the set date without any security problem.

At the news conference, Ojerinde, the JAMB Registrar, listed Abia, Benue, Cross River, Delta, Imo, Lagos, Nasarawa and Rivers as the affected states, due to malpractice such as extortion of money by some examination officials.

“In 2012 UTME, we had some disturbing news of extortion of money from innocent candidates by greedy proprietors and supervisors all these persons will be brought to book,” he said, adding that the outcome of investigation would determine if more results would be released..

Ojerinde said 72, 243 scored 250 and above while 336,330 scored below 170.

He said 374,920 candidates scored between 170 and above, 601,151 candidates scored between 200 and 249 while 901 scored between 270 and 299.

“In 2010, 96,451 results were recorded invalid, while in 2011, the figure reduced drastically to 28,069, due to sensitisation on 2011 UTME.

“For the 2012 UTME, the number was drastically reduced to 5,161; the board will continue to work to ensure that the incidence of incomplete and invalid results is totally wiped out,” he stated.

Ojerinde said that Imo had the highest number of applicants with 123,865 candidates; Delta came second with 88,876 candidates while Anambra placed third with 84,204 candidates.

Conversely, FCT recorded the lowest number with 3,380 candidates, Sokoto placed next with 5, 664 candidates while 5,713 candidates sat from Zamfara.

He said the University of Lagos recorded the highest applicants with 83,865 candidates; Nnamdi Azikiwe University came second with 82,148 candidates while University of Benin came third with 80,048 candidates.

He said arrangement had been made for candidates to check their results online using JAMB web site, www.myjambonline.com, and using the scratch card used earlier for registration.

It is now quite well established that Imo, Delta and Anambra parade the most graduates in Nigeria. This record is consistent (except for delta and Anambra swapping places from time to time) for the past 20 years.

Do You Know That Oyo State Or Former Ondo Or Kwara Are Bigger Than Igboland

Do You Know That Oyo State Or Former Ondo Or Kwara Is Are Bigger Than Igboland?

This is what we have been saying about the average Yoruba university graduate: half-baked, semi-illiterate.

Its all about looking for money, riding on the back of regional gullibility (like Yoruba claiming to be the most sophisticated)to form mushroom schools
Same way most pastors milking the people dry are Yoruba
Same way most Imams doing the same are Yoruba
Same way most certificate forgers are Yoruba
These private universities will be a venue to forge as much as they like

Nothing una no go do to get paper certificate

Funny enough most of the students in all those fed, state and mushroom private schools are Igbos. JAMB records confirm that over and over and over.

manny4life: @OP, I guess someone has answered your question for you.

Dont mind the fool. Nigeria, too is bigger than Switzerland

''Female literacy is seen as the key to raising living standards for the next generation. For example, a newborn child is far likelier to survive if its mother is well-educated. In Nigeria we see a stark contrast between the mainly Muslim north and the Christian and animist south. In some northern states less than 5% of women can read and write, whereas in some Igbo areas more than 90% are literate.'' BBC

obitwo: No one mentioned Taraba here and what do you mean by Rivers Igbo? So we should add Edo and Itshekiri land to Yorubaland? We'll add one LGA from Osun to Oyo and it makes just one state in the whole of the SW bigger than the whole of the SE. So next time you guys decide to compare Enugu to Oyo, just be sure that you could do better by comparing the SE to Oyo in which case Oyo's GDP is even higher than the GDP of any SE state

Is Oyo still bigger than SE? (SE is not the entire Igboland even)

You are an illiterate, like most Yoruba people are.

GDP is wack. Measure poverty in real terms. An average Igbo man is far less poor than an average Yorubaman.

OYINBOGOJU: SouthWest is the Intellectual pillar of Nigeria.

SW cherish education more than fighting for plot of land as inheritance.

What does JAMB records say?

obitwo: This thread is for intellectuals and not your bigoted illiterate self

Let me give you an example of bigotry. You have been going about disparaging Igbos. Now you will stew in your own broth, fool

Oyo = 28 454 km sq

Anambra = 4844 km sq
Enugu= 7161 ''
Imo = 5530 ''
Abia = 6320 ''
Ebonyi= 5530 ''

Total = 29, 385 sq km
Not to add Delta and Rivers Igbo to Igboland

And by the way Taraba and 13 other states are bigger than Oyo.

obitwo: http://macosconsultancy.com/Lists%20of%20Nigerian%20State%20by%20Landmass%20and%20Population%20Densityyy.html

And when you consider the fact that 50% of the rest of the land has been washed away by erosion, you begin to wonder

Now I see why they wanna push Biafra's borders as far as Bayelsa, Rivers, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Delta and even Kogi and Benue states

Just like erosion and flood have taken over 90% of Yorubaland, so Fasola is buying land everywhere outside Yorubaland

Can we get the facts?
What is Igboland? is Igboland = SE?
Is Oyo really bigger than SE?

Ogun teacher wins US visa lottery, replaces herself with her daughter

An ongoing verification exercise in the Ogun State Teaching Service has opened a can of worms, writes ADEOLA BALOGUN

There are strong indications that the fate of about 800 Ogun State teachers is hanging in the balance, going by the current audit in the state.

A total of 19,146 teachers' records are being vetted in the screening and accreditation exercise, which began last September.

Some teachers may however be lucky to return home having lost their means of livelihood if found wanting, but others may not be so lucky, because they may end up in jail for various acts of forgery and cheating.

Documents obtained by Saturday PUNCH from the exercise showed among others, a bizarre case involving a former teacher, who won the US lottery and relocated to the United States.

But, rather than informing her employers about the development, she instituted a regime of cheating in her family. She recruited one of her daughters to replace her, regardless of her educational status.

Unfortunately for her, her daughter was caught when the verification exercise commenced: she could neither present any certificate nor mention any higher institution that she had attended.

Instead, the young lady wept profusely and pleaded for leniency. She confessed, explaining that it was a plot to sustain the family while her mother was away.

Saturday PUNCH found that this scenario is a reflection of many other cases of teachers, who have been drawing undeserved salaries for years and compounding the problem of their pupils.

In another case, 620 teachers claimed that they had graduated from the same institution (name withheld), but it turned out that only 484 were certified to have studied there. The remaining 136 had only tried to deceive the audit team by presenting forged documents.

In a rare show of desperation to retain her job, one of the teachers reportedly confessed to have paid N30,000 to procure her forged certificate.

To start with, the teachers were asked to present their credentials and other academic records for biometric documentation. About 223 of them boycotted the directive for fear of being exposed, while some absconded midway. Originally, the exercise was meant to last for just two weeks, according to the state Universal Basic Education Board officials.

But with the unearthing of disturbing revelations, the state government decided to employ the services of a consulting company, Corporate Institutions Training Consult, to confirm the various higher institutions attended by its teachers.

Overall, about 62 universities and colleges were contacted to confirm the validity of attestation letters and statements of results presented by the teachers.

According to a SUBEB official, some of the teachers, who claimed to have graduated as far back as 1978 presented statements of results and attestation documents in lieu of certificates.

"It was a harvest of absurdities of no mean measure," says Yusuph Olaniyonu, the state commissioner for information.

The consultants were said to have compiled the papers of the 19,146 teachers in the state's employment and forwarded same to the various schools that they claimed to have attended and graduated from.

In some of the documents obtained by Saturday PUNCH, out of the 35 names and documents sent to the Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education, Oto-Ijanikin, Lagos, for verification, the school wrote back that it could only confirm 25 to be authentic. It said others could not be traced and labelled them as fake.

Saturday PUNCH gathered that the authorities of Emmanuel Alayande College of Education, Oyo, were said so alarmed and invited the police when they discovered the number of forged results and certificates of the school presented by some of Ogun State teachers.

Giving a background to the exercise, which exposed a harvest of fraudulent practices in the state, Olaniyonu, a former editor, ThisDay on Sunday, told Saturday PUNCH that the exercise affected every worker in the state, government, including Governor Ibikunle Amosun.

"We started with a biometric data of every worker of Ogun State. We started first with the civil servants. The governor underwent the exercise despite being the number one worker in the state.

"The actual purpose of the exercise is for the state government to scientifically and physically determine how many people make up its workforce; their biometric data and to capture other details. After the biometric data of the civil service, it was decided that it would be reasonable to have the teaching personnel in the state detailed and verified to determine their suitability.

"But along the line, the state government decided to examine the suitability of its teaching employees, particularly with a view to taking education to the old era when Ogun State used to be number one in the country.

The commissioner said that the quest to upgrade the teaching personnel and its efforts to revive the educational standard in the state led to the current exercise, which eventually threw up the fraud being perpetrated by some of them.

"After the final results of the exercise from our consultants, we may have to hand over the file to the police to handle the criminal cases. Those involved cannot run because we have them captured; we have their addresses, their bank accounts and other documents.

"They may have to face the consequence of their fraud. When a teacher is fraudulent, you can imagine what such would impact on his pupil," one of the top state officials told Saturday PUNCH.

But Olaniyonu said the state government would consider the next line of action after consulting all the stakeholders

So they can have unbridled access to forge certificates and bestow on every Yoruba a paper certificate. 99% of certificates in Yorubaland are forged.

Pa Ayoola Oyesiji and the drowned stepdaughter


advertisement

A 62-year-old retired lecturer, Pa Ayoola Oyesiji[b][/b], has been arrested by policemen from Agugu Division of the Oyo State Police Command for drowning his two-year-old stepdaughter in a bucket of water, thereby killing her.

The incident, which occurred at Atipe area of Ibadan in the evening of Friday, 16 Novemeber, was reported to have been the aftermath of a quarrel between the man and his 22-year-old wife, Barakat Akeem, over sex.

The young woman, who is currently nursing a two-month-old baby for the retired lecturer, was said to have given birth to the deceased child before she married him in December 2011.

Sunday Tribune gathered that the woman lived in the man's family house at Atipe area, and that the man used to come there to visit and to carry out his conjugal duties.

However, things were said to have gone awry, when the man, who came to his wife on Friday, approached her for sex, and the woman refused, claiming that her baby was still young, in addition to the fact that she was in her menstruation.

Pa Oyesiji, who was said to have retired from the University of Ilorin in June, reportedly got infuriated and tried to pull his wife back into the room, but the woman fled, dropping her wrapper in the process.

Her two-year-old daughter, Aishat Mohammed, was said to be sleeping in the room then with her two-month-old baby being tended by a neighbour.

The woman reportedly raised the alarm which made neighbours to rush out of their rooms.

She pleaded with them to help her bring her daughter, Aishat, out of the room where her husband had remained.

However, their attempts to do so proved abortive as Pa Oyesiji refused to open the door, a development that resulted in the neighbours forcing it open.

After a quick scan through the room, the little girl could not be located.

This development got the mother and the neighbours agitated over what could have befallen her.

However, they were shocked when they later discovered the body of Aishat in a half-filled bucket of water in the unlit room.

As the news spread in the neighbourhood, an irate mob was said to have descended on the retired lecturer with different objects, beating him almost to the point of death, until he was rescued by a team of policemen from Agugu Division.

Sunday Tribune gathered that Pa Oyesiji is an habitual drunkard and was already drunk when he approached his wife for sex, another reason which reportedly made the young woman to have rebuffed his advances on the fateful day.

Though he admitted that he was drunk, Pa Oyesiji told Sunday Tribune that he only wanted to prevent the girl from running about, by putting her in a bucket, adding that he did not know that the bucket contained water.

When reminded that the baby was already asleep when he reportedly picked her from where she was, the man could not put up any further defence.

It was learnt that the police were yet to inform the man about the girl's death, so that he would not harm himself.

He was also taken to a private hospital for treatment of the injuries he sustained in his eye during the mob action.

Oyesiji, a holder of MBBS degree, also lectured at the University of Ibadan before transferring his services to the University of Ilorin in 1996.

Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of administration, Mr. Clement Adoda, confirmed the story, saying that the remains of the girl had been deposited in a mortuary for autopsy.

He added that the case would be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Iyaganku for further investigations.
