DexterousOne:
I'm very sure......

Are you a JAMB official? Or the faculty dean?

From what you wrote, I can tell you for free the ethnic group that you belong to. That is in case, your parents have not told you before.

One can even guess the shape of your head too

johnpablo541:
So it is safe to say that "All the states in the North fall under Educationally less developed states" then the people in that region needs to have their heads checked

From what you wrote and its tone, one could easily guess your ethnic group you belong to. One could also guess the shape of your head.
True or false?

manlawal:
How did you know unibuja cannot boast of students from 774 local govt and there are no staff from each 36 states of Nigeria even with the fct? Just shut up your mouth and prove your point as you don't unibuja as I do, I graduated there and I know how it is face your ABU and the underage girl am sure she is part of the underage voters in the north

According to standard dictionaries, beliefs that are not backed by reasons are fanatical.

fof1:
STORIES FOR D gods. WINDOW DRESSING EPISODE. THANKS FOR DEFENSE. FANATICAL RELIGIOUSITY IS STILL AT PLAY IN ABU'S ACTIVITIES. IF U LIKE SPEAK IN FERNANDAPO...

Yes. Including Rivers, Bayelsa, Cross-Rivers and Ebonyi. And it based on enrollments and completion rates at primary, secondary and university levels, and on literacy rates among adults.

ursamajor:
So you for exposing the charade called catchment catchment area in admission process in our schools.
You mean all the nineteen northern states are educationally disadvantaged?

Hmmmn

Educationally Less Privilege States (ELPS):

If you come from any of these states and you passed your JAMB. Your chances of gaining admission is 65% (45% Merit + 20% ELPS). All things being equal.

These are states in which they are educationally less privileged. Adamawa, Bauchi, Bayelsa, Benue, Borno, Cross-River, Ebonyi, Gombe, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Kastina, Kebbi, Kogi, Kwara, Nasarawa, Niger, Plateau, Rivers, Sokoto, Taraba, Yobe and Zamfara.

Those making discriminatory and bigotic comments should use their brain, if present and functional, to note that the ELPS states are not 100% northern or muslim.


Interestingly, even those from southern and mostly Christian states enjoying this FG privilege shamelessly or ignorantly join to insult aboki. Na wa o!

GANDUJE CLAIMS 35 CSOS ASK HIM TO DETHRONE EMIR SANUSI



The governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje Thursday said 35 civil society organizations (CSOs) have asked him to immediately dethrone the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, for disobedience to constituted authority in the state.

Ganduje’s chief press secretary, Abba Anwar, wrote in a statement he circulated that the CSOs have expressed fears that Mr Sanusi’s activities amount to attempts to create a state within a state. the statement was silent on the identity of the CSO’s.

The full statement is reproduced below:

Kano Emirates: Gov. Ganduje Receives Letter From CSOs Urging For Immediate Dethronement of Emir Sanusi II

Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano state has received a letter from a coalition of 35 civil society groups urging him to, in the interest of protecting the sanctity of the rule of law, and the mandate given to him by Kano electorate, as a matter of urgency, start the process of dethroning the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II.

The letter titled “Kano State Emirate Council Law, 2019 : Demand Letter” states clearly that, “The coalition of 35 Civil Society Groups under the above-mentioned group (UMBRELLA OF KANO CONCERNED CIVIL SOCIETY GROUPS) are curiously studying the unfolding events in the running of Kano State affairs especially in recent time, as it relates to the lingering face-off between the Government of Kano State on one hand and the Emir of Kano on the other hand.”

Reminding specifically that, matters that arose from the aftermath of Kano State High Court decision nullifying the Kano State Emirate Council Law, that was enacted by the State House of Assembly, which eventually paved way for the enactment of another Law, creating additional 4 First Class Emirates, which also empowers the Governor to take disciplinary measures against any erring emir, “…should be effected,” according to the letter.

The letter was signed by Comrade Ibrahim Ali, Chairman of the Coalition, which continues that, “Soon afterwards, the same Law which repeals all the existing Emirate Councils Laws, and consolidates it in the Kano State Emirate Council Law 2019, was again been challenged first by the purportedly 5 kingmakers from one of the 5 Emirates established by the said law.”

The letter lamented that, even the “…second litigation was initiated by the so-called Kano State Elders who indulged their group in their understanding that, the Law was aimed at distorting 1000 years of heritage or thereafter of Kano.”

After narrating all the disagreed areas in the letter, the group demands that, “That the action of the Emir of Kano Malam Muhammadu Sanusi II of continued undermining the constituted authority of the government of Kano State and its organs, is not only unconstitutional, but is an effort to create a state within a state. Which no responsible leadership will tolerate and allow toremain unabated.”

After dismissing the “Kano Elders” claim in making reference to “1000 years of heritage” the group deems it to say that that position was diversionary and only an attempt to derail from the reality, “…that the so-called elders making reference to 1000 years old heritage are completely derailing from the reality.”

They suggested that “With the recent decision of Kano State High Court, His Excellency shall proceed and ensure the full take-off of the Council of Emirs in the State. So as to stop the current distraction and generation of controversy.”

The letter seeks that, “If the Emir of Kano fails to submit to the authority of the government of Kano State, we call on the Governor of Kano State on the strongest term, to act strictly in accordance with the provision of Kano Emirate Council Law 2019 in order to heed the state forward.”

They concluded that they hope their demands and recommendations get the governor’s attention, noting and further necessary action, as provided by the Law establishing all the 4 Emirates in the state.

MODs for balanced reporting, I suggest this response should also go to the FP

Honestly *the person who wrote this piece “Injustice to one is injustice to all” is completely ignorant of the process of admission in Ahmadu Bello University Zaria,*

For those of us that wrote Jamb 3 times passed all and failed to secure admission whom also are from the catchment area of the University felt the same way but later got to understand the process & how it works!

There are some unique facts about ABU that we must appreciate which includes among so many others; ABU is the most cosmopolitan University in the whole of Africa not even Nigeria �� it’s no news that ABU Zr has students from each and every of the 774 local governments in �� which makes it a mini ��.

When it comes to teaching staff, ABU is the only record holder of having atleast 1 senior staff from each and every of the 36 states in Nigeria and it has remained so till date. So in essence not even the University of Abuja that is in the heart of Nigeria can boast of having students from all the 774 local governments or a staff from each of the 36 states in the Country. Then we should be proud of ABU Zr.

I can personally attest to the fact that in each and every Departmental admission guideline clearly spells out three criteria’s and is religiously adhered to which includes: 1. Merrit list 45% of the total students admitted to the dept (Atleast 2 to 3 students with the highest score from each state). 2. Catchment area list 35% (like any other university in Nigeria ABU considers students from its selected States as it catchment area). & 3. Less Educationally developed states list 20% (in other to give candidates in some selected states that are not as educationally developed as the others a chance to be in ABU as they are at a disadvantage and cannot stand their colleagues from the opposite side) which makes 100% for each department and in doing this no state is left out. Please tell me which other University in Nigeria can say same of their institution? I’ll tell U the answer for free “NONE”.

As regards the case of one *Goodness Thomas, she would have made it for the MBBS Merit list from her state but unfortunately she was number 7 on the list in terms of jamb score from Niger state* and only the first two were picked as it is in d case with all other 36 states and the FCT, she also wouldn’t have made it for the 2nd & 3rd criteria for admission as the number from the Medical and Dental Board limits ABU MBBS to only 120students per session so please do the maths how would U have admitted Goodness into MBBS and justify it even if U are on the admissions committee?

It is also important that I call the attention of the writer of this mischievous piece, that Goodness Thomas was quick to change her 1st choice to ‘Anatomy’ from MBBS seeing she didn’t make the 1st list and she was admitted in the 2nd list of admission which she accepted gladly and quickly, so why are people been mischievous and sharing very wrong information on social media?

I have seen the list of about 25 candidates this year alone from Kwara, Benue and Kogi states who scored above 300 and didn’t make the list for MBBS but unfortunately their representatives don’t have social media handles to speak out on their behalf.

This year alone ABU received more than 40,000 qualified candidates which is the largest number of applicants for any university in Nigeria and Jamb gave ABU the clearance to take in 11,000 candidates which is also the highest number any university is taking in this year, so who will speak for the over 29,000 qualified candidates? Even ASUU is crying that accademic staff are over stretched due to the number of lecturer to student at the moment.

As it stands, ABU is among the 1st generation of universities in Nigeria and there has been plans from the management under the leadership of Prof. Ibrahim Garba with support from the Nigerian Universities Commission (NUC) and the Ministry of Education for ABU Zr to Migrate into a fully pledged Post-Graduate University and that can only happen if the number of undergraduates intake is cut by more than half the number its currently taking in.

So please let’s call all mischief makers to order and if anyone has any issue on admission of a candidate to write to the University rather than embarking on campaign of calmuny on social media to dent the reputation of a University we all hold Dear.

Abubakar A Rafindadi.

sweetonugbu:
Northern Nigeria thrives on mediocrity, see the kind of president they gave us, someone who never address Nigerians or Nigerian press directly what we are always hearing is this.
The president was ATTRIBUTED saying that no no haram has been defeated
As narrated by Garba shehu he said Mr president when he was about going to his private quarters made this statement
As was narrated by Lai Muhammad the president said that the boko haram sect has been technically defeated he was in London when he made the statement
As was narrated by Demi Adeshina the president was sitting down and was watching the super eagles match when he said that and I quote" insha Allah boko wil
l be defeated
As narrated by Lorita onochie, it was when members of ohaneze came to see him with some Palm wine in daura that he said boko harms was collaborating with IPOB to destabilize the country but they are on their way to be defeated, he was on his palour
And this statement was made same day, our president is a DEITY

Yes, Sir!

porka:
Well, you may be right.

However, the Editor-In-Chief (may be the publisher) of the Daily Nigerian is the guy called Ja'afar Ja'afar.

You remember him right? He is the guy who leaked Ganduje's alleged bribery videos.

It's called antecedent.

Just as the Daily Trust is Arewa's the Punch, Daily Nigerian is Arewa's Premium Times (or even Arewa's Sahara Reporters)

You better pay close attention to what you see in those media.

Many are commenting as if they have verified the information.

Naija yoot

Wayo to corner the Republicans who are majority in the senate. She wants them to finish announcing their agenda, then she drops the documents. This way they won't have created the room for manouvering

Politricks!

Kubernetes:
Nancy Pelosi is considering not handing over the Articles of Impeachment that were SOOOO NECESSARY to "security of this nation" so that the Senate can conduct the trial.

Just say a prayer

Intrepid01:
But he's.not going anywhere...Donald the Trump is a cat with many lives.....

Good for him. They should please jail him again, for like one year.

In Nigeria, they would announce "Your phones should remain switched off until the doors have been opened, you'll see people shamelessly switching on and making calls". Simple safety measure we can't follow, later we'll put the blame on satan.

...yet

Hope not like Robinhood sha

If it is soft, it is most likely a lions. Removed through a minor operation that does not require admission.

2extremes:
This has been on my back since last year. Its not painful but its disfiguring. I can't pull my shirt in public without feeling embarrassed.
I have applied many creams and ointments but non worked.

So you want others to consider this a wise post, coming from an elder? You interpret the move of a politician with so much certainty and finality that you allow yourself get arrogant and abusive in the process. Well done o, Oga Elder.

By the way, where were you when others were growing up learning that politicians work based on give and take?

ORIENTATION101:
kids everywhere.....
It doesn't have anything to do with2023

Already happening sef. Obj visit El-Rufai is not for ordinary greeting

aolawale025:
Lots of alignment will happen before 2023

If this were in the northern part if the country, all sorts of human right activists would have been springing up as usual with protests, and even yeyebrities joining in protests and social media campaign, tagging it hum right abuse ir attempt to force a belief on others.

Hypocrisy no good o

Olachase:
See I don't have much to say buh

It depends on your definition of success

After all IBB made him

So this matter don turn tribal again?

And so?

Is it not the speech that leads to the action?

Are the Igbos really desirous of anybody's support?

That should be answered first.

This is the link to the youtube video of the real interview. It shows that Aisha Buhari did not say she no longer has pillow talks with her husband. Her words were deliberately twisted.

Please watch and listen.

Make your findings. I watched it live and she never said that. She said, "there are no pillows in Aso Rock".
