1. My son, currently in 400 Level Medicine and Surgery scored 333 in JAMB but his name did not even APPEAR on the Admission List. I was later told by the Institution that, my son could be offered Micro Biology. I told the Registrar of the institution POINT BLANK that, "I have spent HUGELY (Several Millions of Naira) to get my Son to this Point of Entry (PoE) to become a Medical Doctor and not to become a Biology Teacher through her offer of Micro Biology. This Registrar was so MEAN. She simply told me, we are very sorry, Micro Biology is the BEST we can OFFER your son.
2. At this Juncture, I proceeded to JAMB Headquarters, Abuja to meet with Prof. Oloyede who swiftly asked for my son's JAMB details, punched these details into his laptop and everything concerning the university came up on his screen.
3. Prof. Oloyede said and I quote: "Dr. Muyiwa Kayode, please go back home and sleep with your two eyes closed. From what I am seeing on my screen, your son is No.3 on the List of Medicine and Surgery of this institution with a JAMB SCORE of 333 which comes behind two other JAMB scores of 348 & 334 respectively. Unfortunately, none of these chaps, including your Son (i.e JAMB Score 348, 334 and 333) made the Admission List"
4. Prof. Oloyede continued and I quote: "Dr. Muyiwa Kayode, in SANE countries, this Institution should have sent the College Driver with an official vehicle to go and fetch your son from Ekiti to campus having projected himself into the MERIT LIST of this Institution but unfortunately, the endemic corruption in these institutions will just not allow them to follow Due Process"
5. Right in my presence, Prof. Oloyede put a call through to the Vice Chancellor of this Institution, setting his phone on speaker and spoke angrily at the Vice Chancellor, lamenting on the endemic corruption under his nose as it concerns university admission. This Vice Chancellor apologized to Prof. Oloyede saying what has just happened must have been an ERROR of OVERSIGHT on the part of his Management Team & promised Prof. Oloyede that he will personally ensure the Error of Oversight is corrected.
6. Within 24 hrs of that conversation between Prof. Oloyede and the Vice Chancellor, my son checked the university's Admission Portal and discovered his name has been INCLUDED as Number Three on the admission list while the names of the other chaps that scored 348 & 334 also appeared on the admission list as Number One and Number Two respectively.
7. The good news in all of these is that, my son that would have been CRIMINALLY denied admission ab-initio now TOPS his class with a G.P.A of 4.85
This is neither Federal nor State government doing... Every sector of the economy in Nigeria is corrupt.

Back in 2002, 16-year-old Brian Banks was a straight-up football phenom at Long Beach Poly High School. USC scholarship locked in. NFL dreams right in front of him.
Then a girl named Wanetta Gibson accused him of raping her in a school stairwell. No DNA. No witnesses. Nothing. But they had him facing 41 years to life. His own lawyer pressured him into a no-contest plea. Just like that, his future was gone.
He spent five brutal years locked up and another five on parole as a registered sex offender. All of it was a lie. In 2012, Gibson finally admitted on camera, that she made the whole thing up so she and her family could sue the school district and pocket $1.5 million.
This is a picture of Brian in that courtroom when the judge exonerates him. A grown man collapsing in tears after a decade of hell. And her? Zero jail time. Not one single day. She destroyed an innocent Black kid’s entire life for a payday and walked away like it was nothing.
This is straight-up evil. False accusations like this ruin lives, crush dreams, and the system lets the liars skate every damn time. How many more Brian Banks are out there right now😭
Nicki try and face your music. It is disinformation that Christians are persecuted in Nigeria. Bandits dont discriminate whether you sremuslim or Christians . They bomb both places of worship. Both you and Trump should get educated. Am a Xtain
Reading this made me feel a deep sense of gratitude. We live in a country where we can freely worship God.
No group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion. We don’t have to share the same beliefs in order for us to respect each other.
Numerous countries all around the world are being affected by this horror & it’s dangerous to pretend we don’t notice.
Thank you to The President & his team for taking this seriously.
God bless every persecuted Christian.
Let’s remember to lift them up in prayer.
@AdejokeEwaede Very good idea. If we cannot wear what is ours then we can get there. Take your project to the entertainment industry. Adire industry is multibillion dollar industry
Davido's dad is in the electricity business, he owns power plants & working on owning more; Of course it's news, but I strongly believe that essential utilities like electricity should be owned by a country's govt, otherwise we are slowly heading towards monopolising the power sector, thereby encouraging capitalism. Again this is why Nigeria as a nation is relying heavily on Dangote's refinery, a situation we have unfortunately found ourselves cos the govt has failed to fix its four state-owned refineries.
