Dr. Mohammed Goge on Saturday, shared this inspiring story of a First Class graduate, from a poor family, who makes a living as a chicken dresser in Yobe, while awaiting his NYSC.

The young man, Ali Shuaibu Baba graduated from Yobe State University this year. His family's source of income is from slaughter and dressing of local chickens. It was through the business that he paid his school fees. Read his story below:

Meet ALI SHUAIBU BABA, FIRST CLASS GRADUATE of Computer Science
Picture: Consent approved
"i tot i met just a POULTRY DRESSER, later I realize i met not just a Computer Science graduate but a FIRST CLASS"

On our way coming back from a wedding with a friend Suleiman Dauda we decided to branch and pick some local chickens for the December break, after buying the chick we proceeded to the meet a skilled poultry dresser for slaughter and dressing.

Upon arrival, I was surprise when the owner of the stand called my name: He said Dr ina wuni (Good afternoon Dr), I was like, may be is one those people who knew me through social media, as he started his work, I know became curious and asked him, have we met before?

He said yes sir, ''I attended the occasion of the launching of your scholarship program'' and I was like, are you a student? then he said yes sir, but I have graduated this year (2018) waiting for my NYSC.

I was impressed and became more curios, I asked further, what did you study?
He said sir, I studied COMPUTER SCIENCE
I ask again, and your class of degree please?, and he drop the SHOCKER!!!!
He said, Sir I graduated with FIRST CLASS.

I now moved closer and below is some excerpt of our conversation.....
Ali Shuaibu is a determine young man from a family who are poor by Economist Index but rich in heart and determination to succeed by all odds.

The family source of income is from poultry slaughter and dressing and a times retail of local chickens.

He attended FGC Azare but almost missed his WAEC because of N 36,000. He then resolved to come and write WAEC at the Government Secondary School Kukuri but his Father (whom I also met today) insisted that he will work hard to raise the said amount before the WAEC, Ali came home before WAEC, work along with his father until they meet the 36000 requirements. He wrote his WAEC and got one of the best results.

After WAEC he applied,sat and pass Remedial science. He said:

"I don't know anything about computer, because we don't have it in our house but I still applied for the course, in my part 1, it’s all science courses so I have no much challenge to pass them. During our part 1 break, I worked so hard and saved 30,000 Naira, upon resumption a friend of mine who is studying Biology and has a used Tokunbo LAPTOP computer from LAGOS decided to sale the computer to me @ 30,000 Naira”.

Ali use the computer to study through the 4 years and graduated with FIRST CLASS.

I now ask Ali for a consent to snap with him, he said Yes, why Not...

“This is the business that paid my school fees,” he introduced me to his father.

I asked him further what he does beside this work,
He said while I wait for my NYSC, in the night I browse a lot and read a lot on IT.
We exchange contacts, we advised him further and promise to provide him some MENTOR SHIP.

The story of Ali, Is that of inspiration and perseverance
This is the Story of a child Born with no Silver Spoon but proceeded to get the Gold Spoon
ALI HAS MADE IT TO FIRST CLASS, ALL HE NEEDS NOW IS MENTORSHIP, NETWORK OF THINKERS AND A LITTLE PUSH UP
………. And take note: There is more talent hidden beneath what the eyes sees.

It is well. He has bills to pay

Better than stealing or do internet fraud

Only in Nigeria

Why can't the good Doctor give him the money he spent on sewing that babaringa to better his life?


Charity begins at home.

He has made it in life then.

Only in Nigeria. A CSC graduate still doing that, when there re hundreds of computing skills to learn wey go give u job with 100k salary

Something is not adding up, you can't be dressing chicken professionally and be that neat. I don't doubt his story though.

that's something these book worms are yet to figure out. With basic knowledge of computer you can earn a good sum legit. Then imagine a first class. If he choose let him slaughter snails for all I care

I don't understand this story, i mean was he supposed to sit his ass at home and be lazy doing nothing just because he got a first class in school?

I feel like slapping them

Nigeria Nigeria Nigeria. See the future leaders of tomorrow. God help us

I have four laptops, all I do is charge them, play Pes and watch movies with them. Anything more??

Please help a sister.

I am currently studying computer science too.... it was in my second year that I realized that the course it not just about the book work but the skills you acquire....i got bored with the book work and decided to learn skills... I had to learn AutoCAD, Photoshop, article writing and Ruby... currently I am making money out-of these while even still in school....so I wonder why a first class COMPUTER SCIENCE student should be looking for work when he can get paid by using his laptop

How can someone wear packet shirt and be slaughtering fowls and yet be this neat.
May be he uses VIRUS cleaner
Anyway, I wish him Well

The story didn’t add up


Meanwhile...

God bless your hustle broda. Better than engaging in crime.

our education model need attention, a first class computer science graduate? I'm sure he's doing that because he doesn't know how to really repair computer which is more profitable, but Uche who learnt how to fix computer in a shop by the road side will probably perform better than himwhen it come to fixing computer, vocational study should be added to our curriculum so we can be independent as a graduates.

My guy there is a difference between computer science and computer engineering. It is like the driver of a car and mechanic of a car. Computer science student deals on software and how to drive computer like the driver of a car while computer engineering are into the hardware and repair of a computer like the mechanic of a car. So it is very easy for computer engineering to also repair and drive a computer like mechanic do to a car but some one who studied computer science may only be concerned with the driving alone just like drivers of a car



That is my course though

But wetin dey make me vex na all those old boring programming language fotran and Pascal when uniben dey subject us to learn

Proceeds of 20m jobloss...

that is life

First class work for the uneducated.
Be a good student so you can get employed by dropouts.

I don't believe this... Either he is lying or he is not completely truthful

Northern universities are very very under staffed and would kill for a first class student

There also alot of scholarships for people like him... I don't believe this

He can't work until after NYSC

It can be proven that most graduates with 2nd Class to Pass are more successful than first class graduates.
