Dear Prof Garba This Should Not Happen In ABU Zaria

It was Martin Luther King Jr who said that “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.'' it was on the premise of this that I decided to open this thread when I stumbled on a post by my journalist friend and brother George Onmonya .

I was Pained by the details of the post and decided to draw the attention of JAMB and Prof Ibrahim Garba the current Vice Chancellor of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria an astute administrator in who I strongly believe will act in the Spirit of justice equity and fairness.

I Have decided to reproduce the facebook post George Verbatim in order not to dilute it's content

Attention: Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria

*Goodness Thomas*, the Valedictorian of St. Clement Secondary School, Gbaiko Minna, Niger State for year 2019.

This girl scored 302 in her JAMB, 274 in Post UTME at the ABU Zaria. She has 6 A1s (including Maths, Biology, Physics and Chemistry) in her WAEC yet ABU Zaria denied her admission to study her course of choice, Medicine and Surgery.. rather she was offered Human Anatomy.

ABU Zaria cut off mark for Medicine and Surgery is 250. She surpassed that score by 52 points.

She is currently demoralized by this act and we need to fight for her. She is only 16 years old and does not deserve this trauma."

It is unimaginable that in this age someone with English , Mathmatics , Chemistry, Biology and scored one of the highest scores in recent times in both JAMB and the Post UTME will end with a course she never when those who scored half of what she scored will end up as medical students.

To deny this girl this admission is to cement the the wrongly held notion that the ABU of today no longer values merit . Using religious quota under any guise is a sacrilage that no Nigerian Muslim or Christian should be subjected to.

Those charged with the responsibility of correcting this error should remember that the tenor of human positions no matter how highly exhalted will one day come to an end only Gods tenure is eternal.

Citadel of corruption abhors knowledge but glorifies nepotism.

This is very unfair except if ABU has some other meaningful reason which I can't think of now. Perhaps she should do change of institution and try another university.

That's to avoid victimisation if she gets into ABU.

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

The available slots for that discipline was purchased by those with money.

There's nothing like merit in Nigerian Universities and work places too.

Admission and Jobs are being sold.


Meanwhile, if you're ready to leave naija or you've someone already outside naija and you need a cheap calling service that'd enable you contact family and friends here in naija for as low as 10kb/s. Check my signature for contact.

Since she's not from that Region. Even the President is known for doing that too.

The question is what happened and why she was denied admission. She has a very high score. You cannot tell me that everyone that got admission into that course in ABU Zaria had above 302, NOT POSSIBLE!

Most times we keep shouting injustice because we want to trend and forget to ask for the full story. Let us ask what happened first, was it ethincity motivated or because she is female or what? Then we know where to head from there.

I'm saying this because I don't see any special reason the school will deny her admission.

When her name is not hauwa or Aisha..why will they give her admission... Don't be surprised...they might even offer her Islamic education instead!!

Your name is Goodness Thomas and you expect to be given admission when there are a lot of Zainabs, Rukayats and Rashidats out there from ELDS states.

This country needs to be balkanized, I swear. We can never be one.

Maybe her waec no qualify her

She's a Northern Christian. They are considered lesser beings

That school wey dey tribalistic pass anything, if you like score 500/400 nothing for you
I'm a witness, they'll waste your time until you start growing white beards and make you consider starting a family
Oshi ati iranu

What you wrote sound like a joke but they are actually using it to admit freshmen,school fees and cut of mark of indigene is always lower than student from other states

This is Nigeria Money never pass hand...nothing go happen

Let her park well, there are people that scored above 310 gahn nd they didn't give them admission. She no even happy say dem no give her admission, make dem throw her go computer education with her jamb score she go know wassup

I hope they are not using catchment area as way of denying her? We don't appreciate merit in this part of the world.'Sad.

Islamic agenda

Bloody useless school, it's very hard to get a course like medicine in this school if you're a southerner

Useless glorified abokiiiii secondary school



Breaking news..

A Federal High Court in Abuja stopped Trump's impeachment....

Congrats to Seun Osewa......His site no longer pop Error 500 Cloud 9

They'll surely look for a legitimate reason behind their action. It's best one leaves this country to study. Baba bless your boys biko.

What is wrong with the country ?
Seems meritocracy is no longer in our dictionary. Smh

This is Nigeria

Really crazy

Very very unfortunate. This has been happening for a long long time. At least give some room for merit, irrespective of the region the candidate is coming from. Nepotism will kill this country faster than anything.

Too bad

Please read sir.

That's how they change peoples destiny in this zoo.

A girl like that should not settle for ABU.

The world is her oyster. She or her parents should get in touch.

Even though she beat the cut off mark?
Nigeria when??
