i am happy for them jare. I hope ekwensu abi na esu can rest now?

AlanSugar:


I find it unnecessary for now to abuse you but pray tell before I do, did melaye graduate from abu in 1962 when the school offered BA honours in geography as an option?! If melaye could do nysc in 1999 and graduate in 2000, i guess it's also possible for him to obtain his geography degree with BA honours in 1962 while gaining ission into the campus in 1995 or thereabouts! House, let's give a shout out to melaye and his gang of praiseworshipers!

from the drivel you have up there, i can see how you graduated (that is, if you have). So from the paragraphs above, all you could deduce was that it was only in 1962 (an indication of when the faculty was established) that they offered BA in geography, abi?

clap fo yasef, you are very good in reading/comprehension.

slow.pokes come on this forum and be vibrating with confidence in their ignorance. go back and read those paragraphs again, this time read slowly and follow the timeline of events progressively before spewing your imbecilic drivel.

FYI - i don't give two shits about anybody including dino, just giving slow people like you, who are too lazy to do little required digging and compare available facts to arrive at relative truth, an opportunity at a little bit of understanding. The school system in any given part of the world keeps (and will keep) evolving to meet market/industry/social needs of the day. Even the nigerian tertiary school matriculation system has evolved dramatically in the past three years not to talk of 20/30 years ago. what you meet in your time may not be obtainable or remain a valid process 10years from now. Get that into your skull and review your position on like issues objectively (i.e. if you know how) .

I matriculated at ABU the same year (2000) this Dino fellow claims he graduated and as far as i can tell, never before in the 50 plus year history of the institution has geography department awarded a B.A degree and never has the department been under any other faculty than the sciences. I can swear that in the year 2000 Department of geography ABU Zaria was a department under the Faculty of Science and so could not have awarded a B.A. degree. Dino should better tell us who gave him the certificate he is currently parading. Come, does it even make sense to classify geography as an Art?

with all you said above, you must have been one dumb student..

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 ed the Department as the first Professor of Geography in 1963 from the University of Glasgow and was later ed 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.

That result is fake. This may not be related but take a look at this page on abu zaria web site

At the bold phrase, he got a bsc in geography in 1986. How come Dino's statement of result in 1999 is reading B.A Geography.

ekolina:
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 ission 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.

OAUTemitayo:
Can you please swerve.
Dino claimed a different faculty from what is on his certificate

what a shame!!

Hasmos:
This is not the Nairaland I ed 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.

separator:
I presume the so many nairalander that are ing Dino Certificate forgery are either thief, uneducated or scammers like him, because i cant see why a legitimate educated hustling Nigerians will be in of people like that, for what soever reason, be it on political or ethnicity affiliations. Nigeria will only be good when we all stand together in calling these thiefs thief. [color=#990000][/color]

so.. with this thing you jumbled up there, you too are forming educated?

Hasmos:

U are the one to be real with yourself dear.
Someone that knows something is talking. You keep mute if you can't comprehend.

Pastis:
DOES ANY OTHER INSTITUTION IN NIGERIA OFFER GEOGRAPHY AS A COURSE IN THE FACULTY OF ARTS? HAS ANY OTHER INSTITUTION IN NIGERIA OR ANY WHERE ELSE EVER OFFERED GEOGRAPHY AS A COURSE OF STUDY IN THE FACULTY OF ARTS? DID ABU AT ANY TIME TRANSFER GEOGRAPHY FROM SOCIAL SCIENCES TO ARTS? ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS I BELIEVE WILL PUT OUR CURIOSITIES TO REST. DINO OR WHATEVER YOUR NAME HAS CHANGED TO; YOU CAN'T FOOL ALL THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME.

I suppose engineering and sciences are related, can you relate between arts and sciences? Are you sure you're a graduate?

that is the question you should be asking yourself. As a graduate, you should find it easy to do simple research and would have saved yourself some level of embarrassment...

ocloud81:


Maybe Geography was once under faculty of Art before Dino graduated. And might have changed to faculty of Sci after he graduated. My own opinion

Eldersege:
Change or not, department of geography can never be under faculty of art. It is science. At most under social sciences which should still be questioned.

Sahara will win the case because the issue with this case is not whether the shameful senator went to school or not. The issue is, he was never legitimately itted to the school so how could he have legitimately graduated?

He probably forged the WAEC result to get is ition and got to NYSC with another forged letter.

By the way, P8 in a major subject? Which school accept that? Definitely not ABU. Check his WAEC result, he should have gone for Agric instead not geography or so.


This guy is fruadluent. He should safe us all the trouble and come out clean.

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.
