THE THREE BEST GRADUATING MEDICAL STUDENTS OF AFE BABALOLA UNIVERSITY ADO EKITI ARE ALL IGBOS, THE FIRST ONE GOT A BRAND NEW CAR FROM THE SCHOOL PLUS 1M NAIRA FROM OONI OF IFE, THE SECOND STUDENT GOT 1M NAIRA TOO WHILE THE THIRD STUDENT GOT 500K.

THE POINT TO BE MADE IS THAT THERE WAS OBVIOUSLY NO FEDERAL CHARACTER OR QUOTA IN DECIDING THE BEST STUDENTS. ANOTHER LESSON ESPECIALLY IS THAT ETHNICITY WAS NOT A FACTOR IN A SCHOOL OWNED BY A YORUBA MAN.
ONLY MERIT WAS CONSIDERED. THAT IS THE NIGERIA OF OUR ORIGINAL DREAM. THE NIGERIA THAT IS UNITED WHEN THE NATIONAL SOCCER TEAM IS PLAYING AND NOBODY CARES WHERE THE ELEVEN PLAYERS COME FROM.

NIGERIA LOSES FOR AS LONG AS MERIT IS SLAUGHTERED ON THE ALTER OF NEPOTISM.

Our 36 States must be fully autonomous in order to tame mediocrity, idleness, large Scale Corruption and keep righteous competition always afloat.
