The only problem is that they only give land to loyal communists so I propose you get an Ak47, starve in the bush for a few years chasing shadows and only then will the CCM party consider you as equals and lease you some land.

Investors are allowed to get leased farms for a period of 33 years,or 66 years,and it can be renewed.Or otherwise, foreigners are allowed to partner with a Tanzanian and get a leased farmland.

That's what I said. If it's not my land I won't invest much in it, just exploit, ruin and move on to the next leased plot. Communism is a failure.

6000 skeletons have just been unearthed in Karusi province, Burundi dating from the early 70s. Fyi,unlike Rwanda the Tutsi controlled the army til 2015 when the forces were divided along ethnic lines.

The commission chairman Pierre Claver Ndayicariye told journalists on Friday that the remains of 6,032 victims as well as thousands of bullets were recovered. Clothes, glasses and rosaries were used to identify some of the victims.

The tiny East African nation is struggling to come to terms with a violent past, characterised by colonial occupation, civil war and decades of intermittent massacres.

Referring to a massacre which is believed to have targeted people from the Hutu ethnic group, [/b]Ndayicariye said families of the victims were able to “break the silence” that was imposed 48 years ago.

Mkenya2019,gallivant and mtis the qubit,I've been telling you for the longest:the common narrative on the Hutu/Tutsi thing is complete BS!? This episode,not as bad as other mass killings,eg Rwanda 1994 killed at least 100,000 Hutus and is referred to as the Ikiza.

Conservative estimates place the death toll of the genocide between 100,000 and 150,000 killed,[10] while some place it as high as 300,000, roughly coming out to include 10–15 percent of Burundi's male Hutu population

Btw,after this massacre [b]THERE WERE NO MORE HUTU TEACHERS IN BURUNDI!?

It is no secret that Kenyans are intellectual Thiefs, always depending on Nigeria and Nigerians for everything like their failed KQ, dwindling real estate, loss making companies and banks....this time around they are depending on our intellect....

Aisha Balarabe Bawa's Thesis Plagiarized By Amos Ngaruiya, A Kenyan Lecturer by Biodun556(m): 3:28pm
Dr Aisha Balarabe Bawa is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of History Usman Danfodiyo University, Sokoto. Recently, the Kenyatta University in Kenya reportedly revoked a PhD awarded to one of its lecturers Amos Ngaruiya and sacked him, having been found guilty of plagiarising Dr Aisha’s thesis. In this interview, Aisha Bawa, who won the best graduating student 1997 B.A History Award, reveals how she discovered the academic fraud, how the issue was handled, among others.

Your thesis was reportedly plagiarised by a Kenyan lecturer. How did you find out?

On the14th March last year around midnight, I couldn’t sleep, so I decided to surf the net for materials to read particularly on the area which I want to specialize on, Nigerian first ladies. As a specialist on gender history with particular focus on Nigerian first ladies, that was the area I wrote my thesis on.

So I came across a work titled, ‘The Transformation of the Institution of First Ladies in Kenya’, written by Amos Kariuki Ngaruiya from the Department of History, Kenyatta University, Kenya.

I was impressed knowing that Kenya also acknowledges that this area hasn’t been developed. This area of study is new, looking at the composition of first ladies and perception of people on why write about a woman whose power is based on her husband’s, but her position is just because her husband assumed a position of power.

This area has been developed in America for a very long time. There are professors, scholars who specialize in presidential history and under that, they also study the wives of the president. But here in Africa, the area has not been developed and that is why I went into that area in Nigeria. I was so impressed and opened his work. It is a complete dissertation that was awarded to him in July 2018 so it was a new thesis.

However, I noticed his acknowledgement page was exactly like mine. The only difference was that he acknowledged different people from mine but it was the only difference. I went ahead to open the abstract section and again, noticed the same language I used, I now went into the table of content similar structures, but where I put Nigeria, it would be replaced with Kenya.

Though you know what we mean by plagiarism, it is not a complete adaptation of the work but any idea, which translates to intellectual fraud, for someone to take the idea of another author without acknowledging. Most of the materials I used, he used them without acknowledging the sources and when I checked the references, I found out that a lot of materials which I got – interviews, for example with Mrs Maryam Abacha. I had the opportunity in the course of my research to stay with Mrs Maryam Abacha for almost a week at her house. She gave me lots of documents which she had in her possession for me to use.

I also interacted with a lot of people that she worked with during her tenure as First Lady. All those documents reflected in his references which I very well knew he couldn’t have had access to except through my work. I got worried, so when I got to the office the next day, I discussed it with a colleague, Dr Murtala Rufai. He was frightened, even more, stating that if Mr Amos had published his work before mine it will be evident that I was the one who plagiarised it, however, if I published before him with my copyright, he would be the one to be accused of plagiarizing my work.

Can you shed more light on your work and his?

The title of my work is ‘Women in the Corridor of Power: A History of Nigerian First Ladies in Governance 1966-2015, I started with the era of General Yakubu Gowon and ended with the tenure of the late President Umaru Musa Yar’adua with Turai Yar’adua being a very powerful First Lady at that time. That was the terminating period of my work while Amos’ work is titled,‘Transformation of the Institution of First Ladies in Kenya 1953-2015.

When we finished in 2014, the university uploaded our dissertation and thesis online. That was 2015 and his admission number shows that he got admitted for his PhD in 2015 while I finished in 2014. But we submitted it in early 2015 that was the time the university uploaded it on the internet.

What steps did you take?

With the help of my colleague, Dr Murtala, we got the email address of the Dean Graduate School and the Vice-Chancellor of Kenyatta University but I decided not to go to the Vice-Chancellor first. I instead emailed the Dean Graduate School in the person of Professor Elishiba Kimani on the 15th March 2018, explaining my findings regarding my thesis being plagiarised in his Faculty by Ngaruiya Kariuki Amos and also attached my thesis so that he could verify and get the matter sorted. I didn’t receive any response until 18th, that is three days later. She responded indicating that their university takes seriously the issue of plagiarism and that she is going to discuss with the Vice-Chancellor on the matter. She promised to get back to me.

On March 29, I got a mail from Professor Micheal Gicheru, Dean School of Pure and Applied Sciences, stating that an investigation process has been instituted and he was the chairman of the committee. He requested to ask me a few questions which would help the university to probe the matter further. I was also asked to shed more light on my thesis. The letter also assured that once it is confirmed to be plagiarised, the thesis will be taken down from the university’s website. I responded by enquiring first from the library because when I checked again when this investigation started, the soft copy of the thesis was not online. So, I called the librarian here in our university, who is also a friend and also undertaking her PhD in FUT Minna. I told her about the plagiarism case which I was asked to prove but could not find my thesis online, which I knew was online. She asked me to inform them that a software known as D-Server crashed and since then they were unable to upload it and that was why my thesis couldn’t be found online, but it has been there. I then replied Professor Michael based on what she told but sent him a soft copy of my thesis to verify. For someone writing on Kenyan first ladies, I see no reason why Maryam Abacha would appear in the dissertation.

What happened next after your response?

The last communication I had with them was on the 29th March 2019 and at a point I felt that they had abandoned the investigation. That was why I tried to source for the fund and publish my thesis even though it was not the complete thesis. I made it in the form of a book. I had to rush to be able to publish my thesis in book form for fear of not being accused of plagiarizing his work. But for anybody to look at the period he graduated in 2018 while mine is 2015 can vividly see it, but you know, I was scared; I didn’t want a situation that my work will be looked at as that of Amos. That was what happened until August 2019 when the issue came up. A lot of people particularly my colleagues who knew that it was my thesis that was plagiarised, sent the write-up about the outcome of the verdict from the university in Kenya for withdrawing the PhD given to Amos as well as the work, he was also disengaged.

Was there a formal communication to you on the outcome of the probe?

No. I only saw it in the media. The very day the information came was the week that I was thinking about if I should remind them as it had taken long from March to August.

How did you feel after receiving the message on the outcome of the case?

I felt relieved in the sense that judgement has been passed, and punishment has been given to this type of issue, academic fraud. I know what I went through to be able to develop my thesis. I know how much resources I used to get to these first ladies. More so the issue of interviews in History, we conduct field interviews into rural areas. I interviewed rural women. I interviewed elite women. Imagine women in the legislative house, how do you get access to them? I stayed in Abuja in a hotel, they would give you an appointment, and they would tell you that they have one commitment or the other, so you have to wait. Imagine people like Femi Falana; I was asked to interview him. I know what I went through to see this type of people. So, for someone to steal my hard-earned labour, I felt very relieved over the verdict given by the Kenyatta University. It shows that universities are taking issues of plagiarism very seriously and with that, it has served as a pointer to others.

What do you think can assist the system in checking plagiarism?

Well, from what I have seen from the press, even the university had a plagiarism checker, but he outsmarted them. He connived with a colleague who was in charge of the software. Each university should have that software. You can use it to check even write-ups. There are many things that people do not know are acts of plagiarism. You can even plagiarize your work in the academic circle if you take your work without acknowledging even yourself as a source, it is plagiarism, it is called self-plagiarism. Even if you have taken parts of the work, you must cite where that work is from and mention the name and the title of the work where it is coming from. We have been hearing about so many universities where these cases are found and they have been punished. They should take the issue seriously when the same case is found in Nigerian universities. We have a union. It frowns at every act of plagiarism. Majority of the universities are using it that is how they check even the publication of journals where you plagiarize work of somebody, it can easily be detected now. So, it is no longer business

Jiln5 can you see what I have been saying...

Sometimes you just want to argue blindly.....

Sam, that dog you quoted is black South African. I have tackled him here before when he was claiming that black south Africans were Africa's first black doctors. I exposed the idiot and he has not resurfaced until now. He is black. The same way the suffering man is Nigerian from the Niger delta. That one became mad the day Jonathan lost to Buhari.

Lagos of course...but at random tho

You are a LDC nation, your conditions are just on paper. Great nations have been built on the premise of property rights as the building blocks to success.e.g the expansion of America westwards. Russia, Ethiopia, Ukraine all let go of communism for a many reasons. That leaves you and Cuba, the poorest nations on their side of the hemisphere.

I also wonder why Nigerians bleach and think they are the best looking 'blacks'.

Kenyans don't bleach? your sister vera Sidika is the queen of bleaching.

She has never hidden that fact publicly. It's generally upto personal choice but when you start using bleach and start trolling others over it that's where I feel it is extremely annoying. Most Nigerians are widely known to bleach and its a common undeniable fact. Don't substanciate that nonsense.

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), 77% of women in Nigeria use skin lightening products, the world's highest percentage.
