Did you just say Cultism??

You don't need to open the thread before you know it's ABU. My Mum graduated there too. In the next generation, Unilorin might have similar records.

ABU try no b smal... My skool has done beta...

End time?

I agree with you, turai yar'dua can't speak good english, most of them didn't perform well anyway! I only apreciate Fmr president yar'dua.

what i can see are graduates who ruined d nation, probably except d president. nonsense!!!!

Creative and thoughtful, but the race is not to the swift, neither battle to the strong!

It's about northerners ruling this county. Not definitely about the school. If these same set of people had gone to ui,they'd have achieved the same thing just cos they're learned northerners which was a rarity back then.

see list of alumni for ABU alone

Brace yourselves. The bigoted and ethnic jingoist views are coming. Ah Naija

NaturallY Ahead.......

Exactly brother. Even an educated yoruba, ijaw and igbo men are far better than those listed. How mana masters has all these people ? Abi they better pass mugbue of Zimbabwe ? How many scientist, great doctors, great writers have they produced ? Abi na only politician dem dey produce ?

Wooow


Check my profile to loose belly fat

Endtime University

i hear.

Northern nigeria best ever.

I'm next, i mean next prof in medicine

Testing my invisibility potion. if you can see this post, you're a ghost.

I want to see them producing technocrats from different fields of endeavour and not just born to rule Northern politians.

This university is the reason Nigeria is like this, no thanks to the type of leaders she has produced
