Do you now see your mindset?If a Northerner should have a high score in jamb, you quickly believe the exam is written for him or her.But you and I know that the champions of examination malpractices are mostly Southerners. The hatred and stereotype against the north would definitely cause this country more harm than good.I have taught various tribes in Nigeria and I can testify to you that northerners are not as dumb as many of you. I am a christian from the South West. The girl should rather be encouraged to take up the alternative offer or put in for another jamb. Even UI or IFE will not give her admission based on merit because there are many from her state who have more than 302 and are seeking for MBBS admission. We should not allow sentiment to make us look stupid. prodigyevans: |

State government or well meaning individuals or organization should please give scholarship to students with such performance rather than frustrate them by the kind of flimsy excuses given by ABU ZARIA. Don't be surprised that students with less than 200 are admitted in that same department because of quota system. Where are all the billionaires in Nigeria? They should invest their monies in students like this. What is our Senators doing with all the millions they get on the monthly basis? Those who amass wealth and neglect the needy will all rot in hell like the rich man who despised Lazarus. |

OGHENAOGIE:Are you a malabite? That's by the way. The Op told so many lies in his write up and I feel the public deserve to know the truth. As competitive as we think medicine is, facts results from jamb had shown little percent made above 300, and not all who made above 300 applied for mbbs. Also, northern states present the least number of students for mbbs and most southerners who studied medicine didn't study in the core north. Reason? Insecurity. How did I arrive at this? Check the booklets of nysc that had all the corpers passing out in a batch, especially doctors and the institution they attended and tell me how many doctors did their mbbs up north. Collect as many booklets as possible, from friends, different batches and state ; then you will have a glue of my point. I served in Kano state in 2006 and I know the north don't post the few medical officers of northern extraction, out of the north. But even at that, my batch had 15 medical officers and 1 was from the north. There's no way this girl should be denied admission except on religious grounds. If not on merit, Niger state is among the elds, and could still made it on that ground. |

MoIbrahim: Abubakar Ranfidadi is actually very myopic, going by the recurrent use of, "Only in ABU Zr...." in most of his references! Well, until you have visited someone's else's father's farm, you would think your father's farm is the best! The analysis of the admission policy you have laboured to credit to ABU Zr, is the template for admission into all federal universities in Nigeria. Meanwhile, in northern universities, they sometimes reduced it to a mere paper policy. They, another time, use it to their own advantage. Whereas most federal universities in the south are not comfortable with the 180 cut-off, the northern universities quickly adopted it to gain advantage over the southern students. From your analysis, there's obviously no merit cut-off in ABU Zr. You only pick the best 2 or 3 from each state. That's ridiculous! In the South, there's a merit cut off. And if 10 candidates from the same state make the cut off they will be admitted. That's how to reward excellence. It occurs to me, from your analysis, that ABU celebrates mediocrity! So, if the highest scorers from Kano state had 210 and 205 over 400 ; you would now put them on merit list with candidates with 350 and 345 over 400 from Anambra state as merit list? That's balderdash! It's a known fact that northern universities tailor their programs to accommodate their people. Some of them might not even have the mandatory 5 credits in WAEC!. I remember the case of Dino Melaye, from all we saw , on the media, while the case lasted he had almost graduated from ABU Zr before he even passed WAEC. So, what are you talking about? No universities in the South would allow that. So, Mr Abubakar, stop formatting the mindset of the gullible ones on this forum! 2 Likes |

Pes13: am a medical student in UI, UI doesn't have catchment area, 100% admission slot is by merit. Can't ABU adopt same procedure for medicine? 100% admission slot should be by merit without all those extraneous considerations like catchment area and what have you. 1 Like |

since these northern states have started scoring high in jamb too, it means the educational gap between north and South is closing, can we now go back to unity schools where cut off for them is below 10 while above 130 for southern states? and yet they still deceive us with educationally less developed states....

[quote author=MoIbrahim post=85057661]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. The writer if these piece would have scored more points if all the argument put forward for the girls denial if admission is backed up by evidence to proof the fact.He should have shown us the list and qualification of the 120 candidates given the admission. Instead he spoke characteristically like Nigerians after they have denied you your right. And we can't trust these people in charge of admission in schools. Are they not the same people selling admission to the highest bidders and they'll deny qualified candidates placement after they have finished selling all the admission. It would surely very easy to believe his argument if we see enough proof that the poor girl was not cheated because she didn't know anybody in the society. And whatever system that denies some one who score above 300 in jamb and gives admission to someone who score 200 in the same jamb is trash system. |

More than 20 applicants from her state that applied for MBBS have average points of 330+ compared to her 287. She is from Kogi State and had been offered admission in Department of Human Anatomy. It is just propaganda to tarnish the image of ABU Zaria. Prof. U. A. Danbatta, Deputy Director Academic Planning. Copied. |

MoIbrahim: This way of determining the merit list is faulty. If ABU is meant to admit 300 students into their MBBS programme, 45% merit list should mean the best 0.45 * 300 = 135 applicants, irrespective of where they come from. Consideration of states of origin should be done in the locality quota. I was a HOD in UNN years ago and I headed the admission process in my department. 1 Like 1 Share |

Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. 18. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. - Bible Offline Kill women, children, suckling and animals: 1 Samuel: 15. 3. Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. 4. And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah. - Bible Offline I though you said no killing if they don't accept, what's this?: 2 Chronicles: 15. 13. That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. - Bible Offline But you may say it's in the Old Testament, but was it not God that commanded it? and since you believe Jesus is God, then you must believe Jesus did so ![]() Kindly explain those three, then I will bring more.
