Let's have your reactions. Are they justified?
Very interesting write-up.

How did he grow up to be like that with boldness to beat his own dad? Drugs or Cultism suspected.

Please include Prof Oloyede of JAMB. He is making money for FG at the expense of the student's parents. Why can't he reduce the price at this time of economic hardship. Parents pay for change of course several times, pay to print admission letter, pay to print JAMB result, pay, pay and pay for everything. Money, the parents could have used to ease the economic hardship. They have succeeded in impoverishing many parents just to prove that you can make money for the FG.

Even now many parents are yet to get the money to buy the 2018 JAMB form that was extended for just five days. The Prof has promised to punish such impunity with late fee payment. The Prof should know that many parents cannot afford the money due to economic reasons and not because of impunity. A sensitive regime can find ways to provide loans or subsidy for its populace to register or reduce the amount to make it more affordable in the face of excruciating economic hardship.

His system of operation creates so much difficulty for students and had become insensitive to their plights especially during registration. Why should it be so difficult for students to register for a simple examination that is entirely online? Other examination bodies registration like WAEC, NECO, etc are way much simpler. It is obvious that the registration centres are not enough and cannot cope with the pressure.

I must say parents are also angry at this time. And that anger is directed at PMB

Since, Nigerians cannot change the Prof, they can change the one who appointed him and consequently change him.

Next who do you want to be changed?

In support of University PUTME for all jambites. Make everybody go do competition for uni.

Nice apartment.

This is for last year!

@paleo and kaysy, so how did you resolve the problem the capturing of fingers with the biometric capture. I'm experiencing same here using U&U digatlpersona. Thanks for your response.

Biometric fingerprint capture is going round the exams. First was JAMB then NECO and now WAEC. PUTME may soon follow.

If they use ATM to cash the money it will be difficult to trap them. All the info they used to open account will be fake except the passport. The police can only display wanted in newspapers with fake name used.

Not Original, just sharing. Really funny.

The Lecturer said, "let's begin by reviewing some
Nigerian history." The Lecturer asked who said, "I
shall return to die in the land of my fathers?" She saw
a sea of blank faces, except for Mensah, who had his
...hand up. Mensah replied: "King Jaja of Opobo, 1875"
"very good!" said lecturer. Then she asked again, who said,
"The land use act will feed the nation?"
Again, no response except from Mensah: "Obasanjo, 1976."
The Lecturer snapped at the class; "class, you should
be ashamed. Mensah, who is new to our Country,
knows more about our history than you do."
The Lecturer heard a loud whisper: "Ghana must go".
"who said that?" she demanded, Mensah put his hand
up, "Buhari 1984." At that point, a student at the back scornfully said;
"Hmmm, you think you are smart?" The Lecturer
glared and asked; "All right! Now,
who said that?" Again, Mensah
said,"Babangida to Abiola, 1992." Hmmm, a Student at the back smilled
" I dey laugh ooh" mensah smilled back and said Obasanjo to Atiku
2001. Now furious, another student yelled; "Oh yeah! Eat
this!" Mensah jumped out of his chair waving his hand
and shouting to the Lecturer, "Indian mistress giving
an apple to Abacha, 1998" Now, with almost mob hyseria, someone said; "You
little shit. If you say anything else, I'll kill you."
Mensah frantically yelled at the top of his voice;
"Chris Uba to Ngige, 2004!" The Lecturer fainted, and as the class gathered
around her on the floor, someone said; "Oh shit, we're
in Big trouble now!" Mensah whispered; "Chimaroke Nnamani, Ayodele Fayose
and Lucky Igbinedon 2007" Someone angrily said; "Dont answer him, he is a fool"
Mensah smiled replied; "Obansanjo to IBB, 2011"
Now the Lecturer manage to get up and asks Mensah; pls, who're you?
Show your self..Mensah jumped,
yelled and said; Jonathan to BOKO HARAM, 2012.

@monie, send an email to CDHC asking them for the status of your application. Quote your file file no, full name, date of first application DofB, school resumption date and other details. They will give you an auto response and later another email asking you to defer your admission if there is no alternate date for your resumption. Attach this email with the deferment letter from your school and submit to the embassy. That's what you need to do now, before they return your docs.

"If your acceptance letter has an alternate start date, you will be advised as soon as your application is finalised. If your acceptance letter does not have an alternate start date, you are advised to defer your admission to the next available start date."

If one is advised to defer admission to the next available date which happens to be one year away for a particular course. This is not  feasible option. Is it advisable to change course that has a nearer date, or change to another college that has the same course? Are these two options acceptable to CDHC?

I just want to know what happens if you are denied student permit at the POE for whatever reason. Would they allow you stay freely in the country until your TRV expires or detained pending deportation?

The issue is about judicial credibility. Already, Justice salami has supporters and opponents which cannot be good for the judiciary. ACN supports him because they have won all their cases under him and PDP opposes him for the same reason. I think it's good to bring in a neutral person as the President of Appeal Court. That should be fair to all. The Judiciary is not a Political Party and must not seen to be partisan or politicized but fair to all.

.

It has become a habit for ACN to be the first among the parties to defend Justice Salami every now and then. They see him as the perfect judge and there seems to be such strong tie between the duo that is susceptible. I think it is good for the judiciary if both Justices Katsina-Alu and Salami retires so that the judiciary can gain some level of public confidence which had been eroded by the two bickering at each other.
But ACN wants Salami back at his table as President of the Appeal Court at all cost. ACN should understand that every judgement that comes out with him as the president will always be tainted in the eyes of other stake-holders.
I think the proverb that says: "When the hand-shake extends beyond the elbow, it is susceptible", apply in this case.
Read tribune writeup below:

The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has urged President Goodluck Jonathan to rescind his decision on Justice Ayo Salami which was based on the recommendation of the National Judicial Commission (NJC) .

The opposition party said a reversal of the decision would end the controversy generated by what it described as the unconstitutional act of the NJC.

In a statement issued in Lagos on Monday by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party also criticised government’s attempt to rationalise President Jonathan’s action, describing it as futile and a pointer to the quality of advice being given to the president by his advisers.

ACN said it agreed with Emeritus Professor D.A. Ijalaiye (SAN) of the Obafemi Awolowo University that a competent, patriotic and selfless Attorney-General of the Federation would have advised the president appropriately.

http://tribune.com.ng/index.php/news/27401-acn-urges-jonathan-to-rescind-decision-on-salami

The party said Jonathan should have ignored the recommendation of the NJC that Justice Salami be retired from office.

The party contented that Justice Aloysius Katsina-Alu should proceed on the natural retirement from August 28, 2011 and that Justice Salami be left as the President of the Court of Appeal till he reaches retirement age.

The speed at which the NPF solved this case is abnormal in Nigeria. Mikel should tell us how much he paid the police. That would be normal.

This Lawan and his caucus should be taken in for questioning by an independent security team formed by GEJ since the security outfits have been implicated, unless GEJ himself is in the know. If GEJ is in the know then this is a case of abracadabra, Nigeria the land of Magic, what you see is not what you get.

From the NASS, the bolded part should be seriously investigated by the FG.

http://www.businessdayonline.com/NG/index.php/news/76-hot-topic/24681-nass-borno-caucus-wants-presidential-amnesty-for-boko-haram-sect

The Borno caucus in the National Assemby on Friday passed a resolution urging President Goodluck Jonathan to offer unconditional amnesty to members of the Boko Haram.

The caucus, led by Sen. Maina Lawan, told a news conference in Abuja that the resolution became necessary after a careful analysis of the security situation in Borno. Flanked by his colleagues in the Senate and members of the House of Representatives from Borno, Lawan said the amnesty would signify government genuine efforts for dialogue with members of the sect.

Lawan, who read the resolution of the caucus, urged the President to order the withdrawal of the military from Maiduguri and its environs. ``The caucus resolved to conduct an on the spot assessment to ascertain the extent of damage to lives and properties as a result of the losses.

``The Federal Government should engage the Yusufiya Group in dialogue in order to find a lasting solution to the crisis. The caucus commiserates with the victims and families of the innocent citizens who lost lives and properties in the unfortunate incident.”

Lawan expressed worry over the mass exodus of the people with its attendant effect of rendering people refugees. ``We are also worried by the closure of academic institutions, banks and other businesses as well as relevant agencies.

Asked how it would be possible for government to dialogue with faceless members of a sect, Lawan said while the caucus could not identify any members of the sect, security agencies knew who members of the Boko Haram were.

I think say una wan do d pidgin version now, dis one small now.

Ok pls translate this to pidgin.


Gen.
2:21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he
slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead
thereof;
2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made
he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my
flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall
cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

2:25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not
ashamed.


And this too:

3:14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done
this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the
field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the
days of thy life:
3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the
woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head,
and thou shalt bruise his heel.

3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and
thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy
desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

3:17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice
of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee,
saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake;
in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
3:18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the
herb of the field; 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread,
till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for
dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

But pls note that pix showing goat voting is actually photoshopped, it is not real. If you zoom close, you would observe that the goat is not holding the ballot paper. So pls stop circulating the pix. Just my two cents.

FRUSTRATION and exasperation oozed from every pore in their bodies. The six of them looked despondent, deflated and dejected, like children whose balloons had been burst by a bully. As they addressed journalists at the Press Centre, Iyaganku, Ibadan, that Friday, they were visibly agitated, and if not for their level of exposure and training, they probably would have gone violent, unleashing terror on everything on their path.

They were governorship aspirants on the platform of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in Oyo State. Their grouse was the manner in which the party’s flag bearer in the gubernatorial election, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, was selected by the party leadership. They all; Professor Wale Oyemakinde, Chief Olufemi Lanlehin, Dr. Adebayo Adewusi, Professor Wole Akinboade, Honourable Soji Akanbi and Honourable Kazeem Adedeji, lamented the absence of transparency in the process. They complained that the party leadership, rather than following the respectable process of having a primary election which would afford party delegates to decide who their choice would be, decided to pick just one of the aspirants as the consensus candidate without recourse to the rest of them.

As pointed out by one of them, “How can we have a consensus candidate without at least a discussion? It was not a consensus, it was an imposition and we shall resist it with everything at our disposal.”

The aspirants whose hopes were wickedly dashed groaned that if the party leaders knew that they would not allow a level playing ground for all the contestants, they should have refrained from collecting money from the aspirants.

One of them complained that the most worrying part of their ordeal was that the leaders were not even saying anything, “just as if what has happened is normal, just as if my feeling does not matter.”

He stated, “Up till I am talking to you now, nobody has told us the criteria used to choose the party’s candidate. If we had had a contest and I had lost, I might have felt disappointed but I would not have felt bad. It will mean to me that I need to improve on my politics. But now that I paid for a contest and I was not allowed to contest and I was given a result, how do they expect me to feel? How do they expect me to remain loyal to the party? What all that has happened means to me is that the party leaders are just out to fleece the people. They are not democrats, they are merely impostors.”

A grossly disappointed Professor Akinboade, in an interview with unday Tribune said, “what the national leaders of the party have done is not right; it is not just and justice is the slogan of our party. We are appealing to them to let justice prevail and nullify that decision which has no support and justification.”

Perhaps the most worrying case of imposition in Ogun State remains the announcement of Senator Ibikunle Amosun as its gubernatorial candidate. While the aspirants had been preparing themselves for a primary election and selling their programmes to the delegates, the leadership of the party went behind their back to announce a flag bearer. The announcement of Amosun has united all the other aspirants against him.

“Is this democracy?” One of the enraged aspirants asked. “Then what is the purpose of having delegates if at the end of the day the delegates will not be allowed to do their work? Amosun is not the choice of the members of the party, he is the choice of just a few leaders and we shall see if the votes of the leaders will be enough to install him as the governor of the state. If this decision is not reversed, ACN will lose in Ogun State. You can take a bet on that.”

The worst hit state by the insistence of ACN leaders on imposition of candidates is Lagos because it was really a contest between the governor, Raji Fashola; and the one called governor emeritus, Bola Tinubu. All the supporters of Fashola that contested one seat or the other lost. All members of his cabinet that sought the ticket to contest elective posts lost.

The Speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly, Adeyemi Ikuforiji, the champion of ‘Fashola Must Go’ campaign, is from Epe and has run two terms. His constituents in Epe are fed up with him and want a fresh representative in the state legislature. Seeing this, the leadership of the party, bent on having him back in the House, ostensibly to continue as Speaker, arranged for him to pick the Osodi-Isolo Constituency 2 ticket but found out that the incumbent, Omowunmi Olatunji-Edet, was uncompromising, so they forced Babatunde Ogala of Ikeja Constituency 1 out of the contest to enable the Speaker pick the ticket for that constituency. So, Ikuforiji will be seeking re-election to the House, not from Epe, as was the case in 2003 and 2007, but from Ikeja Constituency 1.

Ikuforiji’s case is similar to that of Wahab Alawiye King. King represents Lagos Island Constituency 1 in the state legislature but because his constituency rejected his bid for another term, the party leaders dropped his colleague in the House representing Lagos Island Constituency 2, Ayoola Shakiru Ahmed, and imposed King on the constituency. Again, the leaders swapped constituencies for their preferred candidate, for him to continue in office without any regard for the preference of the constituents. All the complaints and threats by the people of Lagos Island Constituency 2 that they will vote against the party if the imposition is not reversed have fallen on deaf ears.

Deputy Minority Leader in the Senate and one of the most versatile and productive members of the upper chamber of the National Assembly, Olorunnimbe Mamora, was forced to withdraw from seeking re-election to pave way for the preference of the party leadership for the Lagos East Senatorial District, Gbenga Ashafa.

While announcing his withdrawal from the race at a press conference, Mamora, who described his withdrawal as a sacrifice, said he was withdrawing from the race to avoid confrontation with the party leaders.

He added, “My decision was informed by the need to respect the party supremacy,  If from all indications you are getting feelings that you are not favoured in the race why would you want to go ahead against the will of the party?”

But compared with the experience of his colleague, Senator Muniru Muse representing Lagos Central District, Mamora had a better deal. Muse was said to have been told in plain terms that he would have to forfeit his re-election ambition for the aspiration of Tinubu’s wife, Oluremi, to seek election to the Senate.

When Muse wanted to raise a dust, he was reminded of the withdrawal clause in his nomination form. With that, the man was cowed and he agreed that the wife of the governor emeritus should take his place.

But Oluremi is not the only member of Tinubu’s family foisted on the hapless party members in Lagos State. There is also his daughter, Folashade Tinubu-Ojo, to whom was donated the Agege Federal Constituency ticket. [/b]Mrs Tinubu-Ojo, who holds a Master of Business Administration degree, is currently the Deputy Chiarman, Lagos State Market Development Board, while Tinubu’s mother, Alhaja Abibat Mogaji, is the chairman.

Also, [b]Tinubu’s son-in-law, Oyetunde Ojo, got the ticket for the Agege State Constituency. Ojo, an erstwhile aspirant for the Ijero-Efon-Ekiti West Federal Constituency in Ekiti State, was compensated with the ticket to the Lagos State House of Assembly, when he lost out on his bid to represent his home state at the National Assembly.

Another member of the Tinubu household who benefitted from the situation in the ACN is Lola Akande, Mrs Oluremi Tinubu’s elder sister. Honourable Akande, who is a current member of the state House of Assembly, was endorsed to continue for another term.

In Ekiti State, though the party conducted a primary election for the Ekiti Central Senatorial District, for whatever reason, the party never announced the result. This has left room for insinuations that the party leadership is bent on circumventing the will of the people by imposing unpopular aspirants as candidates.

This has resulted in violent reactions from party members with several people maimed.

In one of the protests, members of the party converged on Fajuyi Park and marched round Ado-Ekiti streets, chanting war songs and raining curses on those who were determined to rob the people of their chosen representatives. The protest forced the state party chairman, Chief Jide Awe, into hiding for several hours as he was afraid that the irate protesters would not hesitate to lynch him.

Alhaji Jimoh Ibrahim, an Ado-Ekiti Central Federal Constituency aspirant, while addressing a press conference on the issue of imposition of candidates by the party leadership lamented the decision of party leaders to withhold the result of the primaries.

According to him, he won the election in the constituency and the ticket was allegedly given to the Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Opeyemi Bamidele, who he claimed won the primary in Ekiti Central Senatorial District.

Ibrahim, therefore, called on the party leaders to give Bamidele the ticket to the Senate, since he won the primary, and give him his own ticket to the House of Representatives since he won the primary.

He added that though the party had refused to make public the list of its candidates, he had confirmed from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that the name of Babafemi Ojudu was sent as candidate for Ekiti Central Senatorial District while Bamidele was sent as the candidate for Ado-Ekiti Federal Constituency 1.

Ibrahim claimed that that was injustice since Bamidele never obtained the form for the House of Representatives primaries.

In Edo State, the aftermath of the alleged imposition of candidates and rigging of the primary election by the leadership of the ACN was bloody with at least four people killed in subsequent protests. Since the conclusion of the primaries, the party’s secretaiat has remained locked for fear of attack by discontent members of the party. Many party members have accused the governor, Adams Oshiomhole; his deputy and the party leadership  of being the brains behind the wave of imposition of candidates and rigging of the party primaries.

According to Matthew Urhokhide, an Edo South Senatorial District aspirant, “The list of our candidates in the party including the one for Edo South Senatorial District was already sent to the party headquarters in Abuja before the primaries results were announced at about 8pm in which case the pre-condition to my mind was already determined. There are no figures to us to check as to how the decision about the choice was made.”

Another aggrieved aspirant, Dr. Mrs Inumidun Idehen, alleged that the leadership of the party in her constituency subverted the will of the people.

According to her, “l did so many things some of them could not do and at the end of everything they want to impose somebody on me after I won. My people gave me the support; they said let the people lead and my people voted for me. If my mandate is not given to me I will go to court.”

In Owan Federal constituency, there was a clash between two members of Governor Oshiomhole’s cabinet. The Commissioner for Arts and Culture, Honourable Oroh Abdul, who aspired to represent Owan Federal Constituency, alleged that the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Hon. Pally Iriase, used the instrument of government to thwart his ambition, despite his victory at the primaries.

The situation in Osun State was not a departure from the pattern as aspirants whose ambitions were truncated by the leaders of the party through imposition have been complaining over the development.

While addressing a press conference at the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Press Centre, Osogbo, recently, the aspirants expressed consternation at the decision of the party leadership to pick some people as the candidates without allowing them to go through the primaries despite being subjected to a rigorous screening.

The spokesperson of the aspirants, Hon. Femi Kehinde, a senatorial aspirant on the platform of the ACN in Osun-West, said that the imposition of candidates by the party leaders without allowing the aspirants to go through primaries was undemocratic and was contrary to article 5 (11) of the party’s constitution and section 87 of the Electoral Act 2010

The aspirants stated that “Chief Bola Ige, Chief Michael Ajasin, Master Oluwole Awolowo were selected through primary election in 1979, while Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu emerged through a primary election in Lagos State in 1999.

“We are, therefore, surprised, bewildered and deeply consternated that our party, that claims justice as its motto could be rooting for something that is repugnant to natural justice, equity and good conscience,” they said.

The aspirants however urged the party to immediately release the result of the screening committee led by Mr. S.O. Ojo conducted for the aspirants while primary election should be conducted for the aspirants before 31st of January 2011 as stipulated in the INEC time table.

But the national chairman of the party, Chief Bisi Akande, does not see anything out of place with the decision of the party leadership to impose candidates, saying “imposition is our style.”

In a well-publicised interview during the celebration of his birthday, Akande said, “We are in a democracy. So, what do you mean by imposition,  This is not a matter of an individual but the party. Nobody should accuse ACN of imposition because that is our style. Anyone that is not comfortable with that should go and contest in another political party. So if you see anyone carrying placard around, he is wasting his time. We know the efforts we made before the party became what it is today and where are(sic) they when we were making the efforts.

“It is when they see that the party is popular that they were attracted to it and we don’t expect them to come and hijack the party because of their dirty money. We won’t allow anyone to hijack our party and that is why we take decisions in the interest of the party.”

Sound as the ACN national chairman’s argument may appear, the former governor missed out on a very vital issue and that is that democracy is not just about the leaders; it is, much more importantly, about the people. Really, it is a process that allows the people to have a say in who leads them. But the way the ACN went  about arriving at its own candidates, had stifled the voice of the people. The conduct of its leaders shows that the party has scant respect for democracy. How can a political party demonstrate uncommon contempt for something as basic as election? If the ACN lacks democracy can it give democracy? If the ACN is undemocratic, is it really a party?

The question the party has to answer as the general election draws close is; can a party that is not fair to its members be fair to the public? Can a party which finds it difficult to ensure justice among its members ensure same for the general public? What manner of party will not care about the feelings of its members and ask them to take a dive into the nearest lake rather than assuaging their feelings? Can such a party really fight the cause of the poor?

Buhari maybe a weaker leader than GEJ. Reason: IBB was able to overthrow his regime only when Idiagbon was on pilgrimage to mecca. And it was even a palace coup at that. The man fell when Idiagbon was not around to protect his regime. He looks physically tough, though.

In the issue of Party's internal democracy, PDP (despite the flaws) is miles ahead of ACN. Think guys, if ACN is as big as PDP, what will the party look like?
