Should have been one of the best in the world but Tinubu's greed makes it impossible.

You can't just think anything without vomiting Tinubu from your mouth. You left ranking of university in your state of origin because it has no Academic traces in the world map, but only to attack Tinubu for your misfortune. Which of the universities in your zone makes the list? Why must all the best ranking federal, state and private universities come only from South west only since centuries ago?

Hatred in your heart towards Tinubu never allow you to ask question about position of your own state universities. Why not allow Tinubu to become president first so you can reduce your wailing to exactly 8years if his reign instead of beginning from now?

I think it is Ahamadu Bello Zaria that is the pride of the North. I have seen Bayaro graduate that can't speak broken English (don't understand even broken English).
