This is the alleged Statement of Result of a fellow who was said to have been admitted into the University of Maiduguri in 1991.
A picture is worth a thousand words, so I won't say much.

There's no way anyone can be allowed to study for 28 straight years at a university. There was probably a dispute with the person's certificate issuance back then in 1991 which was never resolved until the concerned person took a step... It happens you know.

I doubt if such rule exist.Though I have not seen 28 before. It is not so uncommon to see 14, 15 years in medical school.

Most universities in Nigeria have 10 years as the maximum number of years for a bachelor's degree completion. Contrary to what you said, it is highly uncommon to see anyone who spent 14-15 years of his life on a degree...

Ah eduman 14-15 years in medical school is as common as common. For example. Without repeating any year i spent 9 years. (ASUU + school internal problems) And we have people repeating almost every level. Sometimes even in schools that run smooth calendar , they may consider it too dangerous to withdraw someone from medical school after spending 8years for example. So they can leave the person their at one level , repeating till he passed. There are also cases of people who where sent out, went to court and won and then return.

Bro, when you talk about it from the angle of strikes, it's another thing entirely. Also, if a school calender is the major reason for a delay, we really can't count that as a delayed or overtime studies.

With regards to the basic duration of a degree, internal factors not considered, most schools have a maximum duration of between 4-10 years. Medicine itself is a long duration course, coupled with strikes and internal issues is another thing, but saying someone spent 28 straight years trying to get a degree is insanely impossible. Cos that would mean that person failed every course, every year for like 3-4 times and was never advised to withdraw or dropped from the department, especially for a course like medicine? Naah!

He was likely suspended from the university until further notice. So it's now they revisit his matter. But I believe he might have gotten another degree elsewhere since because once you are suspended from university, na to look for alternatives especially if the degree of your accusations is weighty.

That dude was suspended and the school later revisit his offense and reinstate him.

Yes, we need it to be regulated for reasons like this but the ulterior motive of the tyrant Buhari is the reason why many are opposed to the idea.

Under a Buhari-led government, the disadvantages of social media regulation far outweigh its advantages.

The bill was sponsored by a Niger state senator, its not an executive bill or executive order, chances are buhari hasnt even read the content, this is a legislative bill and lawmakers elected across nigeria must redefine it and pass it before it can even get to buhari...

i personally have read the bill and i have my reservation especially death sentence but overall the bill is actually good and would work against Liar Muhammed, Onnochie and many social media rable roosters, and the best part anybody can use the law against anyone you just have to take the matters to court

1. The fact that the bill was sponsored by a legislator doesn't mean it's devoid of executive influence. There's lobby of the parliamentarians anywhere in the world.

2. Of what use is that kind of bill in a country where rule of law has been suspended and the 'presidency' is now the rule of law? It would be naive of anyone to think the like of Lauretta & Liar Muhammed could be prosecuted should they violate the social media act. They can only be prosecuted if their allegiance is no longer to the 'presidency'.

The bill, if enacted, is only meant to gag the anti-Buharis. No Buharideen will be convicted. The act is just going to be another tool to fight the opposition like the EFCC and SSS acts.

As much as you have every reason to be alarmed..

the bill wasnt lobbied for as it was first introduced during the 8th Assembly, if the presidency wants to introduce a bill they have every right to send in an executive bill to the senate

now to clear your doubts and worries, the law can never gag a law abiding fact given critics of the government, its similar to libel or defamation of character laws , no matter how powerful the executive may think they are only the court of law can interprete the law on all issues and even if the Executives decides to boycott court orders, the law remains sacrosant.. just as in the case of Kanu getting bail, elzakzaky and now sowore

As much as you might not like the Executives and their rascality this bill is far more broad than limiting it to buhari alone
as a matter of fact if we dont regulate our social media soon, we may soon witness another genocide

I'm sorry if anyone feels offended by the pictures of the Result. This story is actually a hot topic of discussion on various SM groups especially up north. I only brought the issue here seeing as it wasn't on NL.
I have modified the post and erased the bearers name in order to respect his privacy.
Once again, no offense meant.

Fake news he probably had some issues with the School......
Re: Student Spends 28 Years Studying Medicine At Nigerian University by adeememman(m): 12:25pm On Dec 09, 2019
He/She mustve been admitted in 1991 for a different course and graduated. Before going back for medicine many years later. For example he did biochemistry in 1991 and graduated 1996, then went back for medicine in 2012 or thereabout and the school maintained his matric number since he/she had a record with them. Im sure the owner of the result never said he spent 28 years studying medicine. These evil bloggers carrying fake news about.
