it pains me when people talk out of sheer hatred and ignorance. do you mean that a school with 8 of her alumni currently serving as vice chancellors is substandard? I can tell you with full confidence that these first class merit it, infact ntayi bandawa graduated from unimaid with 3.93, i repeat 3.93 but went to law school and bagged a firstclass, are you still doubting there products? ask unilorin students how unimaid law students distinguished themselves during a program held there. I'm a yoruba boy with this orientation that schooling in north is easy but believe me I was disappointed cos it wasn't easy at all but I'm happy cos am a student of unimaid and I'm made and i can compete with any graduate from any southern university infact I have a friend in uniben who's a 4 pointer that will share questions with me on whatsapp and I'll do it happily and easily.. Therefore, please get your facts right before casting aspersion and for your info unimaid is ranked number 9 by NUC so deal with it..

University of Maiduguri will be honouring 172
graduates who made First Class, the Vice
Chancellor of the institution, Prof. Ibrahim Njodi,
has said.
Briefing journalists ahead of the joint
convocation and 40th anniversary
of the university billed to hold next Saturday,
Njodi explained that the 172 exceptional
students graduated between 2010 and 2015 but
would be honoured at a joint convocation
covering the time.
He said: “The university will finally hold its 22nd
convocation and 40th anniversary for the award
of degrees, diplomas and certificates.
“Summary for the statistics of undergraduate
students shows that a total of 37,259 will be
graduating. It is gratifying to note that 172
students obtained First Class degrees in the five
sets that we are graduating.
“Similarly, statistics for the Postgraduate degree
showed that, 823 students will be graduating
from the school of postgraduate studies. Of this
figure, a total of 192 students will receive
Doctorate Degree, 1,498 Masters Degrees while
2,133 will receive Postgraduate Diploma.”
He also disclosed that 362 students are
expected to receive certificates, while 6,926 will
bag diplomas from the consultancy
services, saying so far the total number of
students who graduated from the university
since its establishment 40 years ago, stood at
101,5141.
According to the VC, during the ceremony, the
institution will confer Honorary Doctorate
Degrees on three personalities, comprising the
former head of state, late Gen. Murtala Ramat
Mohammed, who will be conferred with Doctor
of Laws (Honoris Causa) posthumously.
Others were Prof. Russell Galen Schuh, a
renewed linguist from the University of
California, Los Angeles (UCLA), who would be
awarded a Doctor of Letters (Honoris Causa) as
well ad the Emir of Kano, His
Royal Highness, Muhammadu Sanusi II, who
would be conferred with Doctor of Science,

Commodity Price Declines in an
Oil Dependent Economy “

This is the view of daily trust editor on the proliferation of firstclass degree. do you agree with it? do you have a counter-claim on it? share your views to know the way forward.

A total of 178 out of the 5,472 students
graduating from the University of Lagos
(UNILAG) during the institution’s convocation
ceremony holding this week are graduating with
First Class degrees. Vice Chancellor of Unilag
Prof. Rahman Bello disclosed this at a pre-
convocation press briefing in Lagos. The
convocation ceremonies are scheduled to
commence tomorrow, March 1. A total of 10,907
graduating students will receive degrees,
diplomas and certificates at this year’s
convocation. While 5,472 of the figure will be
awarded first degrees, 5435 graduating students
will receive postgraduate degrees.
The high number of first class degrees with
which students are graduating from Nigerian
universities in recent years is raising serious
concerns about the credibility of our universities’
examination processes. Besides Unilag, other
universities have also awarded excessive
numbers of first class degrees in recent times.
They include Covenant University in Ogun state
which awarded 140 graduating students with first
class degrees; Babcock University also in Ogun
state which awarded first class degrees to 52
students out of 1,059 graduating students;
Adeleke University in Ede which awarded first
class degrees to 10 per cent of its 125 pioneer
graduating students; and Afe Babalola University,
Ado-Ekiti which awarded first class degrees to
65 graduating students.
When the proliferation of first class degrees was
first noticed at our private universities, the trend
was believed to be a ‘recompense’ for the huge
tuition fees charged by such institutions.
However, the trend has become more disturbing
now that public and first generation universities
have joined the bandwagon of the first class
degree rain. For instance, Ahmadu Bello
University, Zaria at its 38th convocation
ceremony which held recently awarded 89
graduating students with first class degrees.
Before now, first class degree from a university
was a rare honour bestowed upon very deserving
graduating students whose intellectual capacities
are beyond reproach. There were fewer students
(whose total number rarely exceeded one digit)
graduating with first class degrees at a time
when universities in Nigeria had well-equipped
libraries and laboratories, adequate number of
high quality lecturers who were committed to
teaching and research, comfortable classroom
and hostel accommodations, and stable
academic calendar. In the past, many
universities had convocation ceremonies that
were without one first class degree graduate.
In those glorious days, a brilliant student who
never missed his lectures and who presented his
facts in tests and examinations in a particular
course still ended up with a ‘C’ grade, equivalent
to Second Class Lower Division. A student
earned a ‘B’ grade which is equivalent to Second
Class Upper Division if he or she, in addition to
what a ‘C’ grade student did, further read
textbooks for more facts of knowledge. An ‘A’
was an exception student who impressed and
dazzled the examiner with his grasp of the
subject matter.
It is thus amazing to find more students
graduating in the first class division now that
most Nigerian universities suffer from poorly
equipped libraries and laboratories, poorly
educated lecturers and very unstable academic
calendars frequently disrupted by long periods of
strike action by the Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU) and the Senior Staff
Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU).
The main reason advanced by ASUU for many of
its strikes was dearth of teaching and learning
facilities in the universities. Employers of labour
have equally complained of the relatively poor
quality of graduates from Nigerian universities
these days. It is therefore amazing that a rain of
first class degrees should accompany this
situation.
To give credibility to the degrees awarded by
Nigerian universities, there is need for the
institutions to strengthen examinations and
results processing procedures. Like the
examination questions, results for every course
should be duly subjected to internal and external
moderations by competent hands. Departmental
and faculty examination boards as well as
Senate members in universities should sincerely
be seen to uphold the trust bestowed upon them
by the ethical principles of their profession. We
call on the National Universities Commission
(NUC), which is the regulatory agency, to ensure
that first class degrees awarded by universities
do not contradict the realities of the human and
material resources that obtain in the institutions.

Multiple explosions have been heard from the
Kayamala and Dalori areas of Borno State,
prompting panicked residents to flee the areas
on Sunday.
“The sound of bomb explosions is being heard
from Kayamla and Dalori along Bama Road since
around 7:00 am today,” said Kursi Yusuf, an
employee at the nearby University of Maiduguri.
“We are not sure whether the terrorists are
planning to invade the town but the sound
vibrating is devastating.”
Khadija Mustapha, a resident of Dalori Quarters,
said she had fled her home with her three
daughters for fear of being caught in the
explosions. “I don’t know what will happen. The
sound of the explosives is really disturbing,” she
said. “Many of us… have vacated our homes.”
A military officer who did not want to be named
confirmed the series of blasts but said troops
were on top of the situation. “The terrorists will
not have their way,” he said.
Boko Haram has repeatedly attacked Maiduguri;
with at least 10 people killed and 39 others
injured on Thursday night when four suicide
bombers blew themselves up in the city.
Two explosions that ripped through the outskirts
of Abuja on Friday left 18 people dead and 41
wounded, rescue officials said on Saturday, in
the latest bloodshed blamed on Boko Haram
Islamists.
President Muhammadu Buhari condemned the
attacks, as did the US embassy in Abuja.

As the cash crunch continues to hit the federal and state governments across the country owing to declining global oil prices, SUNDAY PUNCH has gathered that 11 private jets and helicopters, worth N36.54bn and owned by seven state governments, are being maintained with about N6bn yearly. The jets and helicopters are owned by Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Cross River, Bauchi, Taraba, Osun and Lagos states. Rivers, which owed its workers between three and 10 months’ salaries as of June 20, 2015, has two private jets and one helicopter. They are: Bombardier Global 5000 acquired for $45m (N8.9bn); Embraer Legacy 600, which goes for about $16m (N3.152bn); and an Augusta Westland helicopter, which goes for about $10m (N1.97bn), according to aircraftcompare.com, an online aviation portal that provides estimated prices of aircraft. The Taraba State Government, which does not owe its workers owns: two Embraer ERJ 145, with each going for $21m (N4.13bn), Akwa Ibom, which as of June 20 had cleared all outstanding workers’ salaries, owns: an American-made Gulfstream G450, which according to aircraftcompare.com, costs $38.9m (N7.66bn). Osun state,which as of June 20 owed its workers seven months’ salaries, has: a French-made Eurocopter ASS 355 helicopter it said was acquired for N500m ($2.538m at the current official exchange rate of N197 to the United States dollar). Cross River owes some of her workers six months salaries, others have two months’ outstanding. They have: a Bombardier Dash 8 that industry experts estimate to worth $10m (N1.97bn). Bauchi State, which as of June 20 owed two months’ salaries, has: one Embraer ERJ 145, which costs $21m (N4.137bn), according to aircraftcompare.com. Lagos, which is not indebted to its workers, has: two Bell 412 helicopters, with each costing $6.7m (N1.319bn), according to aircraftcompare.com estimates. Thus, the two helicopters cost around $13.4m (N2.64bn). They were acquired under the Lagos State Security Trust Fund platform, an initiative of the state government and private partners. The total cost of the 11 private jets and helicopters is estimated at $198.80m (N39.17bn). According to airline chief executives and industry experts, airlines spend between 15 and 20 per cent of the cost of an aircraft on its operations yearly. This means not less than $29.82m (N5.875bn) is spent every year as running costs on the jets by the seven state governments. This is coming just as cash-strapped states seeking the release of President Muhammadu Buhari-approved bailout funds have indicated that they have no plan to sell their private jets and helicopters in order to ameliorate their ravaging economic condition. Osun and Cross River states, which are currently seeking N34.988bn and N7.856bn respectively in loans from banks through the Federal Government bailout package, said rather than sell their private jets and helicopters, they had put them into commercial use by leasing them to some aviation companies. The Chief Press Secretary to the Cross River State Governor, Mr. Christian Ita, said: “We have put the aircraft, Bombardier Dash 8, under Aerocontractors Airlines for commercial purposes. We bought it so that it could be used to convey people to the Obudu Ranch.” The Director, Bureau of Communications and Strategy, Governor’s Office, Osun State, Mr. Semiu Okanlawon, did not pick calls or respond to text messages sent to his mobile telephone, but the All Progressive Congress Chairman in the state, Mr. Adegboyega Famodun, had a few months ago said the state government had put the Eurocopter ASS 355 helicopter into commercial use by leasing it to an airline. He, however, said the state normally recalled it whenever it needed it. Bauchi State, which is seeking N8.6bn in bailout funds from the Federal Government, could not readily comment on whether it would sell or put for lease its Embraer ERJ 145. The plane is expected to return back to the country from Morocco any time from now, the state government said two weeks ago. However, Lagos, Rivers and Akwa Ibom states, which have yet to apply for bailout funds perhaps because they have no need for it, declined to comment on whether their private jets and helicopters would be sold or put into commercial use. The spokesperson for Governor Akinwumi Ambode, Mr. Habib Aruna, did not pick calls or respond to a text message seeking enquiry on the state’s plan for its two helicopters. The Special Adviser to the Rivers State Governor on Media and Publicity, Mr. Opunabo Inko-Tariah, said he had not been briefed by the governor on the plans for the jets. The Chief Press Secretary to Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State, Mr. Ekerette Udo, and the Commissioner of Information, Mr. Aniekan Umanah, neither picked calls nor responded to text messages sent to their telephones on the state’s Gulsstream 450 aircraft. The Federal Government bailout for the states, coming as loans from commercial banks, is repayable at an interest rate of nine per cent over a 20-year period, according to the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo says the
present crop of northern leaders is
responsible for the backwardness of the
region, saying they have abandoned diligence
and selfless service and resorted to personal
aggrandizement.
Osinbajo made the remark at the opening
ceremony of Northern Reawakening Forum
(NRF) Summit, held under the theme
“Building a Safe, Secure and Economically
Inclusive Northern Nigeria” and held at the
Transcorp Hilton, Abuja, on Saturday.
He regretted that the elite had jettisoned the
foundation set by the founding fathers,
leading to the challenges confronting the
country.
“Our history reminds us of the visionary
leaders in Nigeria, who fired our imagination
through their vision, diligence and selfless
service, who did not live or fight to enrich
themselves; they did not leave vast personal
estates behind, but their names and legacies
live in the hearts of the people”, the VP
said.
“Sir Ahmadu Bello, Sardauna of Sokoto, Sir
Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Mallam Aminu
Kano, J. S. Tarka and countless others
clearly understood the varied issues
afflicting the region, thought through them,
laid the plans and worked selflessly to
realize them”.
He explained that in the 19 northern states
of Nigeria, the human development indices
“are by far poorer than the rest of the
country”.
Osinbajo said the Northern Nigerian
Economic Summit of 2012 was the first
forum to draw attention to some of the
depressing statistics about the condition of the north.

Lt – Gen Tukur Buratai: The Conqueror Of Boko Haram


Tukur Buratai, soldier and historian, has a place in history. If it’s correct that no list of the greatest people of the 20th century is complete without
General George C Marshall and that of the World War II without Winston Churchill, the world will
remember Buratai as the ‘organiser of victory’ and ‘the last great Nigerian soldier’ in the fight against
terrorism. His choice as the Chief of Army Staff was spot on. Not because he hails from the terrorism-ravaged
state of Borno, but because of the professionalism and military dispatch with which he carried out the assignment of routing the mindless Boko Haram that slaughtered children, men and women in the
North-eastern part of the country. Courageously foxy, brutal in mien and disposition and deliberate in the deployment of troops,
Lieutenant General Buratai will enter the pantheon of war heroes, if as the Defence Headquarters said, the expedition will be over before the three months deadline given to uproot the terrorists by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Unlike his predecessors who barked orders from
the comfort zones of their offices in Abuja or
preferred to grandstand in Aso Rock to enunciate strategies, which more often than not failed, Buratai
was on the field with the troops. Wednesday morning, he led Nigerian troops on a
field inspection of the recaptured strategic town of Gamboru Ngala in Borno State, crossing a bridge to
Fatokol where a huge crowd of Nigerians received them with cheers and tears of joy.
An appreciative director of defence Information (DDI), Col. Rabe Abubakar, enthused, “these
terrorists have been subdued, even if they are adopting other means and are re-strategising, we are also doing the same and pre-empting them.
“So, right now, they are completely in disarray,
have no command and control of where to plan. We have even taken over their camps that most of them abandoned and are attempting to blend into towns and communities. We have also apprehended some of them and very soon, innocent Nigerians can move back to their communities.”
The war against terror took a different turn since July 13 when the rotund service chiefs were replaced with new ones, who, apparently more apolitical, discharged their duties as officers and gentlemen.
Buratai, who had been in the trenches with the
troops as the commander of the Multinational Joint
Task Force which has its headquarters in
N’Djamena, Chad, all the same came to the fore, shooting from the hips and with all barrels. He exhibited the uncommon canny to identify with the troops. He exercised with them, ate with them and boosted their morale through welfare packages, including adequate supply of drugs, equipment,
compensation with accelerated promotion for deserving gallant soldiers on the field and ensuring that those unjustly court-martialled were given
reprieve. At the last count, 3,032 officers and men who would have either been sent to their early graves or imprisoned have regained their love for
soldiering, for God and country. But the 20th Chief of Army Staff could also be weird.
Said to be an accomplished infantry senior officer, he enjoys the company of wild reptiles and rears
snakes. He has two snakes farms in Nasarawa State and keeps some in his personal house in
Mararaba on the outskirts of the nation’s capital. Commissioned in 1983, there has been no time that his multiple command, administrative and
instructional appointments over his 34 years illustrious career has been called to service more than now. His meritorious discharge of the
responsibility at once, restored the confidence of the civil populace in our military as it called to question the judgement, integrity and professionalism of those who had superintended the
fight against terror since it broke out in 2009 and for which over 15,000 lives have been reportedly lost.
Born November 24, 1960 in Buratai town in Biu local government area of Borno State that has suffered greatly from the brutal threat of the Boko Haram group, General Buratai is a highly decorated officer. He is a Member of Historical Society of Nigeria, with two Master’s Degrees, one in History from the
University of Maiduguri and another in Philosophy from the Bangladesh University of Professionals, Dhaka.
Buratai attended the Disarmament, Demobilisation and Reintegration Course in the year 2000 at
Cornwallis Park, Annapolis county, Nova Scotia,
Canada and the United Nations Staff and Logistics
Officers Course, India. At the height of militancy in
the Niger Delta, he was also called upon to quell the
uprising. These must have equipped him for the
assignment that will place him in the nation’s hall of
fame as a soldier-statesman.

Arabia's civil defence authority has said.
Eighty people were injured when the crane fell on
the Grand Mosque, the civil defence authority
tweeted.
Few other details are available. Images from the
scene showed part of a huge red crane had
crashed through the roof of the mosque.
Mecca is preparing for the annual Muslim Hajj
pilgrimage.
Hundreds of thousands of people are expected
to arrive in the Saudi city from all over the world
later this month.
Construction work has been going on at the
Grand Mosque for years to make it big enough to
cope with the huge numbers of people who
come each year, the BBC's Arab Affairs analyst,
Sebastian Usher, says.

I think dating a working class lady is better but one needs to be careful in choosing one because some of them find it difficult to be submissive.

sammysammy111:
many guys ask questions such as: a. Is it OK to date an undergraduate with the aim of marrying her? b. How old is modest for a girl to get into a relationship? 3. I caught my girlfriend with another guy, should I break up with her? A lot of salient and underlying factors exist why relationships of many years ‘dilapidate’ in a twinkling of an eye. I’m not against dating an undergraduate but I’m against dating one with an undergraduate’s mindset. There are quite many who believe they are not yet ready for this whole relationship saga hence doing you a favour hanging out with you. Shocking, but true. To such, I say, Bon Voyage! As the age long mantra says, Only time will tell. When these girls behave that way, some times, you don’t get to blame them even as Ladies in general believe you know what you’re up to coming to ask them out…The crux of this thread is Dating a Working Class Lady Has More Advantages And Better Chances Of A “Safe Landing”Than Dating An ‘undergraduate’. Let’s see some of my reasons: 1. Good Money Management Skill. A working class lady better understand how hard it is to make money. Yes, she buys shoes and some times engage in profligate spending but with caution. She tries to keep a part for the rainy weeks, LOL. With this attitude of hers, you can hand your ATM to her without worries 2. Maturity Maturity is built in her through the stress at work. Though girls will be girls but there are some things you won’t see her get involved in. Imagine her working and schooling at same time, you’ll hardly even see her in social networks sef. How we need mature ladies in the dating game and not just recharge card beggers. 3. Her Generosity Is Heightened It is expected she has conquered the “Me Alone” attitude because a part of her salary goes to her family, supposedly. Some times, she sends some to her siblings. Most times, she is left with a little. At those moments, her dp will change, “Family is everything”. True! Those guys in her work place wondering, “what’s she doing with her money?”. Now you know. You can be sure she will be of financial help to both in-laws. 4. She Has A ‘better’ Idea On What She Really Need In Her Man. She has met several kinds of guys, so her choosing you is more of her “last resort”. Having dated “many guys”, you’re one lucky dude . o: You can’t count on an undergraduate that much. She still has many choices to make: Uni, Masters, NYSC, Work place etc. Oh mehn! 5. Financial Assistance She can be of great help when the burden of pre-marriage activities come knocking. Also, she won’t just come into your house with her GMG, but with some of her things too that will benefit all. It’s not compulsory but it’s relieving, you know. 6. Less Time for Casual/Childish Stuff It’s hard to find a working class Lady who is engrossed with work find time to live carelessly (partying). It might exist but only in rare cases. More often than not, she spends time with her closest besties not with any T, D & H. If she is ALWAYS on Social Network, forget it. At least, you can tell she has a dream, a passion, a drive. Even if she is less busy, she tries to perfect her tailoring, dancing or designing skill. She hates being idle. Above all, childish stuff like being the FTC or making money out of guys on internet or real life disgusts her. 7. Work Exposure Having to work with other married colleague of hers, she gets to know the real needs of every man thus coming into marriage with some form of relevant information. Just hope she doesn’t meet the wrong women sha.
