A monumental waste of resources. He should donate his money to indigent young men and women desirous of being educated.

Cheiiiii, you get mouth o.

What will his education fetch him apart from making headlines of major dailies? He is too old to reap a substantial benefit from his present investment.
Meanwhile there are thousands of brilliant but poor students all around lacking financial means to be educated. Let him shelve his plan for PhD and donate his proceeds to indigent students.

Congrats sir. Enjoy your success.

The same way your brain is a waste of resources. You should donate your daft and wacked brain to goats desirous of reasoning like monkeys.

An eighty-year-old Amodu Alimi has
received a bachelor’s degree in
Sociology at Lagos State University. Pa
Alimi who gained admission into the
university in 2007, underwent a full-
time course. He was among the 22,033 others who graduated, among
whom were 41 who made first class. The Faculty of Science produced 13
first class graduates, while faculties of
engineering and communications
produced 10 and seven first class
graduates respectively. Speaking at the convocation
ceremony for the award of diplomas
and degrees today, the Vice-
Chancellor of the University, Professor
Oladapo Obafunwa, said that 8,903
graduands who underwent full-time programme, received diploma and
degrees while 13,130 others
constituted graduands from the part-
time programmes of the institution. He said that the university had put in
place a number of innovations to
curtail financial leakages and channel
the savings towards promoting
academic excellence. “Since my assumption of office in
2011, we have ensured accountability
that would be channelled towards
activities that are germane to the
primary roles of a university, which
includes teaching, research and community service,” Obafunwa said. He noted that the state government
had also embarked on infrastructure
development in the institution to meet
human capital development
requirements. “With the development, we would be
able to meet the requirements of the
National Universities Commission
(NUC), for institutional and academic
programmes accreditation,” Obafunwa
said. He said that already, the institution had
begun preparation for the take-off of
new programmes such as Agriculture,
Aeronautical Engineering and Civil
Engineering. Obafunwa also noted that in line with
the ongoing transformation agenda in
the university, the institution would
ensure that students were able to
access their results and academic
profiles on time..

How do you browse the internet? Why not use the money you spend on doing so to feed hungry people or sick people who can't afford the cost?

Yoruba ppl and education

A big Gbosa to this great man. You are a shining light in this society. At less than 30, I am complaining of the stress of doing an MBA. Now, no excuse!!
For all the "To what ends?" and "why not give it to a lot of young indigent Nigerians rather than waste it"- You just sound like Judas condemning a woman anointing the Lord's feet. How many people have you sponsored in the least manner? Save us the pseudo-charitable hypocrisy.
Many young Nigerians should begin to understand that money is not everything. The sole purpose of education is not to enrich you. It is to enlighten your mind and refine your person. Many rich people are not school educated.

Once again Baba, you don do well!! Your picture becomes my desktop Background

where is he gonna use his skills? in his grave i think! it would have been better if he used the money to send an orphan child to school.

I know Τ̲̅ђe baba,he Ȋ̝̊̅§ a seroius student I̶̲̥̅̊N̶̲̥̅̊ skool, always busy reading....I know he will make it.

Congratulation youngest papa.i'm highly happy 4 u.

[quote author=kunle75]i knew this old man very well during my days in Lasu as an undergraduate in 2003/2004 i was in my final year, we read together alot in the library and what surprises me most about him was that the librarians would have to chase us out when ever they want to close for the day and he would be there with us ,he just wanted to know everything....... i like his resilience...... CONGRATS PAPA AMODU.He is indeed a role model.[/quot


[b]this man is a bookwarm indeed,they do send us out of the library together then at close of day,and you will see him everywhere with a textbook and a bag in his hand in his white cap as usual. reading was sweet for me then, i know thats the same this man was enjoying. CONGRATS BABA

congrats to a great man

Your education has failed you. I won't be surprised if you graduated from one of these useless polytechniques or mushroom universities called state universities. What's the correlation between internet and a man that can barely see in class wasting monumental resources that can at least help shape a good future for the brilliant but poor students around him?

Why you are rambling about nonsense, please take special note that I don't spend even a cent for internet. Is your papa 80 on scholarship?

You have failed more than failure. If the old man motivates you, goodluck to you.

To some of us who can see the other side of coin, it is not difficult to see he's not just wasting his time but also enormous resources that can be of help to others. Let him continue his attention seeking nonsense until he collapses on campus and transit to great beyond.

You reveal the depraved, uncouth and drunken state of your mind with every additional post you make. It is very belated, indeed a pure waste of time, to at this time attempt to correct a bumbling, ill-bred and abrasive person like yourself.

Your comments on the value of the old man's education (for him and the society) and the determination of the cost of the internet you use show that you have an extremely poor knowledge of economics and sociology. It also shows the quality of your education or lack of it. You have clearly demonstrated the narrow, shallow and parochial perspective from which you view events and activities in this complex world.

I pity you and those under your arrogant, boastful and vacuous influence.

[size=8pt][/size][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]Honestly,baba u're unique. U've just set a legacy in contemporary Nigeria and beyond. U may appear hoary outwardly,but ur inward youthful adventurous and exploratory vigor has distinguished u. May God grant u long live in sound health and fulfillment in ur heart desires.
