Education / Re: ABU Didn't Admit Goodness Thomas Into MBBS Cos In Niger Alone She Ranked No. 7 by abjonline(m): 11:07am On Dec 20, 2019 |
MoIbrahim: Honestly *the person who wrote this piece “Injustice to one is injustice to all” is completely ignorant of the process of admission in Ahmadu Bello University Zaria,*
For those of us that wrote Jamb 3 times passed all and failed to secure admission whom also are from the catchment area of the University felt the same way but later got to understand the process & how it works!
There are some unique facts about ABU that we must appreciate which includes among so many others; ABU is the most cosmopolitan University in the whole of Africa not even Nigeria �� it’s no news that ABU Zr has students from each and every of the 774 local governments in �� which makes it a mini ��.
When it comes to teaching staff, ABU is the only record holder of having atleast 1 senior staff from each and every of the 36 states in Nigeria and it has remained so till date. So in essence not even the University of Abuja that is in the heart of Nigeria can boast of having students from all the 774 local governments or a staff from each of the 36 states in the Country. Then we should be proud of ABU Zr.
I can personally attest to the fact that in each and every Departmental admission guideline clearly spells out three criteria’s and is religiously adhered to which includes: 1. Merrit list 45% of the total students admitted to the dept (Atleast 2 to 3 students with the highest score from each state). 2. Catchment area list 35% (like any other university in Nigeria ABU considers students from its selected States as it catchment area). & 3. Less Educationally developed states list 20% (in other to give candidates in some selected states that are not as educationally developed as the others a chance to be in ABU as they are at a disadvantage and cannot stand their colleagues from the opposite side) which makes 100% for each department and in doing this no state is left out. Please tell me which other University in Nigeria can say same of their institution? I’ll tell U the answer for free “NONE”.
As regards the case of one *Goodness Thomas, she would have made it for the MBBS Merit list from her state but unfortunately she was number 7 on the list in terms of jamb score from Niger state* and only the first two were picked as it is in d case with all other 36 states and the FCT, she also wouldn’t have made it for the 2nd & 3rd criteria for admission as the number from the Medical and Dental Board limits ABU MBBS to only 120students per session so please do the maths how would U have admitted Goodness into MBBS and justify it even if U are on the admissions committee?
It is also important that I call the attention of the writer of this mischievous piece, that Goodness Thomas was quick to change her 1st choice to ‘Anatomy’ from MBBS seeing she didn’t make the 1st list and she was admitted in the 2nd list of admission which she accepted gladly and quickly, so why are people been mischievous and sharing very wrong information on social media?
I have seen the list of about 25 candidates this year alone from Kwara, Benue and Kogi states who scored above 300 and didn’t make the list for MBBS but unfortunately their representatives don’t have social media handles to speak out on their behalf.
This year alone ABU received more than 40,000 qualified candidates which is the largest number of applicants for any university in Nigeria and Jamb gave ABU the clearance to take in 11,000 candidates which is also the highest number any university is taking in this year, so who will speak for the over 29,000 qualified candidates? Even ASUU is crying that accademic staff are over stretched due to the number of lecturer to student at the moment.
As it stands, ABU is among the 1st generation of universities in Nigeria and there has been plans from the management under the leadership of Prof. Ibrahim Garba with support from the Nigerian Universities Commission (NUC) and the Ministry of Education for ABU Zr to Migrate into a fully pledged Post-Graduate University and that can only happen if the number of undergraduates intake is cut by more than half the number its currently taking in.
So please let’s call all mischief makers to order and if anyone has any issue on admission of a candidate to write to the University rather than embarking on campaign of calmuny on social media to dent the reputation of a University we all hold Dear.
Abubakar A Rafindadi.
Saying that no other institution use the same admission procedure as ABU is incorrect. I'm privy to know the admission process in FUTMINNA and what they do is exactly the same as the one you reported about ABU 2 Likes 1 Share |

On 27/11/19, Wednesday morning, I tried recharging my Glo with #500 airtime using a scratch pin only for me to see an error message. I tried using the pin again, they said the card has been used. After my attempts to call the customer care, they finally picked up my call and there told me that the card has been used by me. I told them I can't see it reflecting on my account and they said their engineers are carrying out maintenance and I should call in an hour time. The summary is that after each call they kept telling me to call back in an hour up till this morning. I'm even afraid to do another recharge because I don't know if the same thing will still happen. Pls guys, what can I do? |
Religion / Re: A Sin Without Forgiveness by abjonline(m): 3:26pm On Nov 10, 2019 |
emmyid: In the Catholic faith, there is something called Mortal Sin, sin like killing another human. This Sin is stuck on you till death. If peradventure you change your ways, you go to purgatory after death.
So I was taught in Catechism. That's what you were taught but there's nothing like purgatory. Hebrews 9:27 KJV And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. Hell is the destination of sinners. Heaven is only for those who are righteous (whose sins are forgiven) here on earth. 1 Like |
Religion / Re: When The Grace Of GOD Becomes A Roller-coaster To Hell. by abjonline(m): 3:21pm On Nov 10, 2019 |
Toks2008: GRACE AS A ONE-WAY TICKET TO PARADISE.
Grace says even if we have sinned, we sin, and will sin, God will forgive us each time we ask for forgiveness in Jesus' name — Meaning the past, present, and future sins are forgiven after you believe in Christ and continue to believe in him. So easy and convenient...A one-way ticket to heaven I must say.
Ephesians 2:8-9 ''For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast''
WHEN GRACE BECOMES A ROLLER-COASTER TO HELL
The grace of God is so awesome that we can easily take it for granted by sinning with impunity and at first we may feel guilty and ask for forgiveness until it gets to a stage where we become so comfortable with sins and we begin to make excuses for ourselves for committing those sins.
And each time we sin, our fellowship with God breaks. It’s not His fault. It is our fault and it is up to us to correct the situation. The Presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives will help us understand that we have grieved him in words, thoughts, or actions, but GOD will not force us to again enter into fellowship with him cos it's up to us to find our way back to his fellowship. But because we have become comfortable in our sins, we may take it for granted and continue in our sinful ways until death and eventually end up in hell.
Romans 6: Verses 1 and 16 "Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace? -Don’t you realize that you become the slave of whatever you choose to obey? You can be a slave to sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God, which leads to righteous living."
Lord Jesus, We pray this day that you give us the power to stand firm till death and never to take your grace for granted...AMEN! Pls note that when you repent of your sins, only your past sins are forgiven NOT YOUR FUTURE SIN. As soon as you sin, you loose the Grace of God on your life. However, repentance restores the grace. |
Religion / Re: Which Of These Two Sounds Like Good News To You? by abjonline(m): 3:14pm On Nov 10, 2019 |
alBHAGDADI:
Imagine someone walks up to you and says he wants to give you a 50 storey skyscraper on Eko Atlantic City. He then says you will be the one to build it from scratch i.e dig the foundation, mix the cement bend the irons, mould the blocks and build it up to the 50th floor all by yourself without highering labourers. Will you consider that to be good news?
Now, imagine someone offers you the keys to an already completed skyscraper in Eko Atlantic and says all you have to do is believe it exists. is this good news?
The latter is the good news because you don't have to do any work before you get the promise. All you do is to believe, unlike the first which gives you a list of hard work to do, which you can never finish, before you can attain promise.
With heaven, you don't have to do any work other than just believe in Jesus. You don't have to ensure you do not sin before you can make heaven. All you need is to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.
But some people believe that works is required for salvation or to make heaven. Yes, works is required but what kind of work is that? Let's ask Jesus Christ
John 6:28-29 28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
What did Jesus also say in the most famous bie verse which is John 3:16?
John 3:16 (KJV) 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
What did the disciples of Jesus preach? Did they preach work based salvation or faith/believe salvation?
Acts 16:30-31 (KJV) 30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house
As seen so far, the work God requires from us to do is to believe on his Son Jesus Christ. The disciples went further to state that work based salvation is false whereby you rely on your own works of righteousness. There is nothing like my works of righteousness plus faith as requirement for salvation. What salvation requires is believe/faith, not works of righteousness e.g not signing, doing good etc.
Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
The disciples also added that even if you do not work at all but believe on Jesus, you are still seem as righteous before God.
Romans 4:5 (KJV) 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Why is God still considering you a righteous man and would allow you into heaven despite your many sins? That's because Jesus has taken your sins upon himself and has given you his righteousness.
2 Corinthians 5:21 (KJV) 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
What did Jesus do exactly on the cross? His action on the cross made him the saviour of mankind. When you appear before a judge for horrible sins, he will definitely sentence you. Now, imagine someone shows up from nowhere and bails you out of the judgment. That's exactly what Jesus cries does with his blood. He bails those who believe in him from the consequence of sin when they die.
There is no eternal punishment for you if you believe in Jesus. You already have eternal life once you believe.
John 3:18 (KJV) 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God
Can you now see that it is easy to make heaven just as it is easy for you to drink water? Yes, it is easy as saying...
"Lord Jesus Christ, I believe in you as my Lord and Savior. Save me today and give me eternal life. I no longer rely on my works but your work on the cross".
You see how easy that was. Isn't it good news that heaven is easy to make and it is done once. There's nothing like losing your salvation.
Philippians 1:6 (KJV) 6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
God who saved you today is not like an earthly bank that will lose what was saved. That's why he's a mighty God. He won't have sacrificed Jesus if he knew his blood won't be capable of keeping what it saved. The power on that blood can't be quantified. Those who believe they can lose their salvation don't really believe in Jesus. They are just paying lips service. They don't believe that Jesus the same yesterday, today and forever is capable of taking away their sins of yesterday, today and forever. They believe he only has power over their sins of yesterday, that's why they hold themselves responsible for the sons they commit henceforth. They've condemned themselves.
Can you now see how the good news is truly good news and pleasant to the ears? That's the good news Jesus said we should spread from Judea to the ends of the Earth. Pls let's be careful of the above write-up. Romans 10:9-10 KJV That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. [10] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. BELIEVING ON JESUS ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH! YOU MUST CONFESS YOUR SINS TO HIM. Many people have believed on Christ, yet they are not free from sin. Even many arm robbers believe in Jesus but that is not enough. After you've believed on Him, you have to confess your sins and be ready to repent. Repentance, not just believing is what qualifies an individual for Heaven. That's why the Bible says: John 3:3 KJV Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus believed on Jesus but he was told that except he his born again, he cannot enter Heaven. How then do one become born again? 1. Acknowledge that you're a sinner and that you can't help yourself. 2. Believe in Jesus that He died for your sins and can save you. 3. Confess ALL your sins to Him. 4. Plead for forgiveness and grace to sin no more. 5. Ask Him to come in to you heart. ALLELUIA!! You are born again! 1 Like 1 Share |
