[b]NIGERIA IS CURSED AND DOOMED. THE UNWILLINGNESS OF ABU TO DISCLOSE WHETHER OR NOT MELAYE GRADUATED FROM THAT INSTITUTION IS A SHAME GIVEN THAT LSE AND HARVARD, THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY FROM NIGERIA, SWIFTLY CONFIRMED MELAYE NEVER GRADUATED FROM THEIR RESPECTIVE INSTITUTIONS.

IN SANER CLIMES, THIS GUY WOULD BE FORCED TO PROCEED ON GARDEN LEAVE FOLLOWING WHICH A TASK FORCE WOULD BE SET UP TO FORMALLY INVESTIGATE.

I'M NOT SURPRISED AT ALL. BUHARI COULDN'T PRODUCE HIS GCE CERTIFICATE. FOR ALL I KNOW, THE EXAM BOARD THAT CONDUCTED THE GCE BUHARI CLAIMS TO HOLD STILL ISSUES COPIES OF RESULTS/CERTIFICATES DATING BACK TO THAT YEAR AND BEYOND. LIKE OBAMA, WHEN CHALLENGED TO PRODUCE HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE TO VERIFY HE WAS BORN IN THE USA, THE HONORABLE THING FOR BUHARI TO DO IS REQUEST THE EXAM BOARD -- INTERNATIONAL CAMBRIDGE EXAMINATION SYNDICATE -- TO ISSUE HIM WITH A COPY.

MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHY IS MELAYE STILL CARRYING AROUND SOR RATHER THAN CERTIFICATES AND ARE THERE NO NIGERIANS WHO GRADUATED THAT YEAR WHO CAN FISH OUT THEIR GRADUATION BROCHURE TO SEE IF HIS NAME IS ON THE LIST. AFTER 20 YEARS OF GRADUATING FROM A NIGERIAN UNIVERSITY, I STILL HAVE MY BROCHURE (BY THE WAY UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES AND REGISTRY KEEP COPIES). WHAT STOPS SAHARA NEWS OUTLET AND OTHER NEWS MEDIA FROM SEEKING HELP FROM THE PUBLIC. FOR A PRIZE CASH, ASK THAT ANYONE WHO GRADUATED THAT YEAR FROM ABU AND STILL HAVE A COPY OF THE GRADUATION PROCEEDING SHOULD MAKE IT AVAILABLE FOR SOURCE TRIANGULATION.

THE RANK AND FILE OF NIGERIAN LEADERS IN BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTORS ARE SHAMELESS ROGUES.[/b]

How many times will this talk of Buhari's certificate be regurgitated? Is it that some people don't follow news or just don't care?

PMB's results had been clarified since 2015 pre-elections yet some folks still drip on this matter.

The man lost the original certificate during the coup that removed him from power, the supervisory exam body, Cambridge, released the result sheet confirming PMB's results in 1961, following which his school in Kaduna issued him a fresh certificate. All of these since 2015 and people still foam in the mouth on this matter??

getting good grades is being smart?? funny!!! you are a sure dummy, am sorry but this is the reason why the First Class work for the third class cos they think with good grades, life will bring everything to his /her table

Do you know what it takes to get good grades? It takes smartness, steadfastness, discipline,hard work, name them!

It is only in a jungle like Nigeria that 3rd class graduates bribe their way to the top.

This is not the Nairaland I joined way back in 2009.
Most of the nairalnders now are blinded by sentiments. They think they know much but in reality they are ignorant.
The last I checked google is not charging a dime to search for you.
ABU as a University offered Geography as as an Arts and Social science course. For those of you forming 'Eisten' saying it can NEVER be so. Bury your heads in shame because your education nd literacy was snatched by hatred and ego.

Some brains are just empty
Before I graduated from LAUTECH in 2009, transport management dept was under faculty of technology. Currently, it had been relocated to faculty of Management sciences as at 3 years ago now. So why the fuss about melaye's faculty brouhaha. Rubbish

Hasmos:

Listen to yourself! Someone!? Are you for real? The last time I checked, anyone with access to Nairaland has access to Google.

That you have access to Google does not deny or affirm an answer to the question re abu having geography course under sciences in 1986! What year did your father Dino, graduate from abu in geography with BA degree again? Pls remind me.

doctokwus:

Probably faculty of arts in d dimwits village university.
Even the disparity in names in the WASC,statement of result,actual course results sheets and d other stuff he has been parading,shud tell any sensible person that there is sth fishy.

I only know of Geography under social sciences, art I have never heard of.

Dino claimed a different faculty from what is on his certificate

emfaldo:
For all of u shouting d department was moved....maybe u shld check Dis link and u will see Dat even someone Dat graduated in 1986 had Bsc and not BA...which shows d result is really a fake

Ghen ghen!

Check this out Dimwits.

'Geography Department was under the Faculty of arts and Social Sciences offering the degree of B.A (Honours) and B.Sc (Honours) in geography respectively. Presently, the department is under the Faculty Science offering only B.Sc in Geography.'

shut up, this thread treated the issue and exposed buhari's forged certificate worse than that of Dino https://www.nairaland.com/3701512/buharis-waec-certificate-vs-dino/5

The Director of Army Public Relations, Brigadier-General Olajide Laleye, who said the army has been inundated with request for the General’s credentials, added that it was only in possession of a letter from the Principal of the Provincial Secondary School, Kastina, recommending Buhari as fit for military commissioning in 1960.

Buhari Certificate: Army Deny Possession Of WASC
He said that the Army also have in its possessions Nigerian Army Form 199A where the General indicated after commissioning that he obtained credits in four subjects and a pass in another. However, it is not in possession of a certificate to prove same.

In the document passed around to journalists for sighting, the letter reads in part; [size=14pt]“I recommend him fit for military commissioning, I consider that he will pass the WASC examination in English, Math and three other subjects.”[/size] how can ''i consider he will pass'' repace a statement of result? At least Dino there is evidence for Dino passing his SSCE


http://www.channelstv.com/2015/01/20/army-deny-possession-buharis-wasc-certificate/

Buhari enters Army 'only on presumed recommendation' Never was his result sighted or any evidence that he passed his Exams'


here is a copy of compromised reccomendation replacing Buhari statement of result

This is getting very interesting and I am excited that journalism is playing its role in nationhood.

LOL. PMB's case was overlooked to avoid trouble and war in Nigeria.
We can't be deceived Mr. Man. Only Katsina state educational board STATEMENT of result was released.

Madam, FYI the stamp and signature below shows he has either collected his original certificate or it is fake.I will go with the conclusion that he has collected his original cuz of the date there.To your number 1 question, in the 90s people gain admission with just 2 credits and are required to remedy it before graduation through O level IJMB. If Dino has not collected his original certificate I would understd with him cuz if u are not in a paid employment, u will have no need for original cert.

These are the pertinent questions begging for answers:

These Are For The Institution, He Claimed To Have Graduated:

1. How come someone with deficiencies in several subjects including The Said Geography, was given admission to Study Geography?

2. Did the paraded statement of result by Dino emanate from you?

3. If YES to number 2, How come it bears BA instead of Bsc?

4. What is delaying you from issuing a Statement to clarify the issues as being sorted by different media organizations?


Questions For Dino Melaye:

1. Why are you still parading ordinary statement of result, 20 years after graduation? What happened to Certificate Awarded to you, if any by the University?

2. Why do you keep changing your names from one stage to another?

3. Dino, You claimed to have served in Kaduna State in 1999, how come the paraded discharge Certificate is bearing 2001? Did you serve Nigeria for 3 years?

4. Why have you not responded to the foreign institutions who had denied your claimed status with them?

"23 January 2015

The University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate (UCLES), now known as Cambridge Assessment, in response to requests to authenticate a candidate’s exam certificate, today said: “We can only confirm or verify results at the direct request of or with the permission of a candidate.”

“This is in accordance with the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998 and section 40 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.”

The organisation also confirmed that according to the Regulations for 1961, African Language papers, including those for Hausa were set for the West African School Certificate.



NOTES:

Examination results were classed in grades by 1 to 9. 1,2,3,4,5 & 6 indicate a Pass with Credit; 7 & 8 indicate a Pass; 9 indicates a Failure.
To pass the School Certificate, candidates had to pass examinations in a variety of groups. It was compulsory to pass English Language, but not Maths, in order to gain the Certificate.
The number of candidates who sat for the WASC Hausa examination in 1961 was 152.
Our records show that Hausa was set in the Northern Region in 1961."

SmartchoicesNG:
Dino has been exonerated!

How? is Bsc not different from BA from different faculty? Maybe you should try and read again.The result was apparently forged.If the guy can lie about graduating from Havard,then I think we should be careful what we believe.

SmartMugu:

No I don't mean it like that. I personally don't think people's school grades come first. What happened to those with many years of experience in those areas? Mining for example, many people have a lot of experience in that area and have probably written books and theses around the problems that area is facing. Why bring a random person with no prior experience of that area to lead the actual professionals?

now I got your point bro

Come to think of it, what is delaying ABU from verifying if he graduated or not?

They probably want him to come and settle them wether they should tell the truth or forge a lie

cktheluckyman:

You are looking at an authentic statement of result and you are still waiting for someone to verify. You are obviously waiting for someone who will tell you what you want to hear

How foolish are you, so any piece of stamped paper is now an authentic document...........in which jungle do you leave.....did you attend school at all. Pls how much did they pay you to come online and be spewing crap.....I hope the money is worth you conscience.......

Dino Melaye first Degree is Not controversial as confirmed by SR themselves as a graduate with 3rd class. Till today. INEC NEVER POSSES MUHAMMADU BUHARI WASC CERTIFICATE. which our supposed president Sworn AFFIDAVIT INDICATES

Now lets check some facts on those documents

you need to zoom the images below for full understanding)

1.super imposition of one document on another (sample 1 and sample 2) (pupple and pink color only for illustration pls note its ours)
2. yellow lines 'D' in (sample 3) are Added lines to cover-up traces of imposition of specimen (H1) and column lines where names (specimen H1) are printed do not align with the blank columns (note; rectangular tiny line was only for illustration and nor part of doc)
3. sample 4, more on column lines where names (specimen H1) are printed do not align [/b] with the blank columns (note, yellow highlighted lines was introduced only (as an) illustration and 'not part of doc' )

2: what interferes does Daniel has to do with Dino, or is Nick name accepted by the
federal government of Nigeria? if there was change of name, where are the evidence?

3: what stop him from providing copy of the original result instead of statements? or is 17 years( from 2000 the claimed year of graduation) not enough to get the original?

History of the Department of Geography at ABU ZARIA


The Department of Geography, Ahmadu Bello University started on September 26th 1962 using the classrooms formerly used in teaching ‘A’ Level Geography at the Nigerian College of Arts, Science and Technology. The first two lecturers were M.B. Thorp and M. Mortimore from Liverpool and Leeds respectively. Prof H.A. Moisley joined the Department as the first Professor of Geography in 1963 from the University of Glasgow and was later joined by P.N. Hore as a Senior Lecturer with a Ph.D from the University of London. By the time the first class of undergraduates moved into part III of the degree programme in October 1964, there were four academic staff in the department. The staff strength has grown to 26 academic staff, 6 technologists, 3 library staff, 7 secretarial staff and a driver.

The Departmental Library is the largest Geography Departmental Library in the country. The Department also has a comprehensive map Library.

Staff-Student relation is friendly and undergraduates run the socially and academically active National Association of Geography Students (NAGS), A.B.U Chapter.

Geography Department was under the Faculty of arts and Social Sciences offering the degree of B.A (Honours) and B.Sc (Honours) in geography respectively. Presently, the department is under the Faculty Science offering only B.Sc in Geography. Apart from the undergraduate degree, the department offers Postgraduate Diplomas in GIS and Rural Development respectively and Masters of Science in Geography, GIS, Transport Management, Population and Demographic studies, Rural Development and Environmental Management respectively. We also offer Ph.D in Geography and Rural Development.

These courses have made the Department a haven of postgraduate students that are eager to attain the training and have been tremendously relevant in all spheres of their endeavours.
