Prof. Garba, while appearing before the Senate ethics committee on Monday said "Yes, from records, Dino formerly known as Daniel Jonah Melaye graduated from the Ahmad Bello University with BA Geography."
However, ripples the controversy has generated goes beyond ascertaining his studentship or graduation.
Below are 5 questions the VC failed to answer today:
1. How was Dino admitted into ABU without 5 'O' level credits? Did he tender a result different from the one that surfaced online?
2. To study Geography, shouldn't he have obtained a better result than P8 in the subject?
3. Why was Dino's name given as 'Daniel Jonah MELAYE' in his statement of results; and 'Melaiye Daniel Jonah O in the Senior School Certificate with which he was admitted?
4. How could Dino have participated in the national youth service in 1999 when he graduated in 2000?
5. Why is Dino's certificate not yet issued 17 years after graduation? Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

How did he graduate? Anyone can say just anything. The online news media Sahara reporter never said, he did not graduate. Sahara reporter said that he failed some courses that needed to make him graduate and that he bribed his way through to graduate. Which means that he did not authentically graduate. Then we read that the school authority at that time granted Dino Melaye and others a waiver to leave or graduate from the University so that peace could reign. Since he has gone to court, we are now interested to see how things will end. Truly, he did not graduate legitimately. Why would they do that to some students? It's a shame and the university allowed him to continue to thrive in such behaviour. If the university has not graduated him and rusticate him for failing to meet the necessary academic requirements, he would not be troubling Nigeria and Nigerians in this capacity. He would have practically leaned that thugery is not rewarding.
ReplyDeleteNigerian eye should go and sit down in case he is standing, this is my 12yrs after graduation and i've not gone to collect my certificate despite making 2.1.
ReplyDeleteMy O'Level certificate bears 4 of my name while my degree statement of result bears only 2.
One needs only 5 credits to gain admission into the university, it was until some few years after year 2000 that maths and english became compulsory.
Now i know that NE is part of the media outlet propagating this evil scandal against an innocent soul.
I hear you.
DeleteEvil collaborator.
Dino is a thug and should be shown the way out of civilized environment
The guy was granted waivers at entry and at exit. Praise the Looooord!!!
DeleteDino Melaye had just 3 credits and rest subjects were Pass
DeleteReally Anonymous 4:34pm? English has always been compulsory for Arts students while Mathematics has always been compulsory for Science students. You and ABU VC have not answered the question whether or not Melaye had the 5 O/L requirement that would have enabled him to pursue a university education.
ReplyDeleteWhat made u think he didn't combine 2 results?
DeleteDino did sgrs. Remedial before getting into first degree
DeleteIf ABU have confirmed that DINO Melaye graduated from the institution, it means his certificate is authentic,what else do they want to know, if I may ask how many of those holding political office today are 100% clean. Please let DINO Melaye be.
ReplyDeleteBro i tire for people here oh! They were all disappointed cos what they heard from the vc wasn't what they expected, now they can go and hug a transformer close to them.
DeleteDo we say because many are not "100% clean", we overlook falsehood? C'mon, stop destroying Nigeria! Pertinent questions are being asked and you think we should not seek answers because many are not "100% clean"?
DeleteI can understand why one may not collect a degree certificate for many years. I can even understand why the same person can have different names on documents - we are at liberty to change or spell our names as we wish. But I would not understand how one could serve NYSC in 1999 when he graduated in 2000. I cannot understand how someone with only 3 O-Levels Credits that did not include English Language, Mathematics and Geography could be admitted to study Geography in a Nigerian university, especially when he comes from one of the states counted as educationally developed. Yes, Kogi and Kwara States are two northern states that have always been counted as educationally developed and never enjoyed the lower admission requirements into universities the rest of the northern states enjoy.
Melaye does not have to possess a degree to be a senator. But it is unacceptable for a senator to be lying about his credentials. And it does not matter if 90% of them lie - it does not make it acceptable!
NO, the questions are clear How can Dino graduated in 2000, while he did his NYSC in 1999????. And why his certificate is not ready after 17years????? .
ReplyDeleteLet the VC come out and explain why dino served in 1999 and graduated in 2000. This one na another super story o.
ReplyDeleteO boy,dino did NYSC before graduation? Wonders shall never cease. And another question for the VC,does the school award BA or BSC for Geography?
ReplyDeleteHow did he get into ABU? How come he graduated after the NYSC
ReplyDeleteThere is discordance within ABU Senate. Ordinarily, it should not have been the VC that went to testify at the Senate - it should have been, perhaps the Dean, Head of Department or one of the Examination Officers. But these other people refused to testify because they had the facts to the effect that Melaye did not meet the requirements for graduation. The VC went because no one else was prepared to tell the lie. And of course, with good "Ghana-must-Go" at the VC's doorsteps, anything can be arranged.
ReplyDeleteYou aptly got the scenerio here. I've been wondering too. Why does it have to be the VC appearing before the ethnic committe of the Senate and not the HOD.
DeleteWho even said he did his NYSC in 1999? You only saw his picture and not the date, did melaye show you his discharge certificate? Those trying to destroy ones reputation should remember the law of karma.
ReplyDeleteYou people should leave Dino alone. I graduated over 25 yrs ago from Unilag and didn't go for my certificate for another 12yrs after leaving the university. When I was leaving, the university could not find results for 36 units of my results that were pasted on the walls when the exams were sat for in my final result tally. Had I not gone physically to get results for 12 units, I would never have received my "to whom it may concern" from my department. Suffice to say I couldn't go for nysc that year cos camp had closed by the time I got my call up letter. Returning to the same university a few years ago to regularise my nysc, I was told i never graduated from the uni. Initially they wanted me to pay money to start looking for my results and when I raised some hell, they finally got to doing it themselves (after 2 yrs of continuous pressure). They finally got my results and awarded me the same degree I had been awarded many years ago with the same classification. The people I was in class with were put in the graduation manual as having to have graduated studying another course in another faculty. The university system in Nigeria is a joke. Dino, don't mind all these idiots looking for blood from stone. They will get nothing. Even Sowore causing all these wahala, we were the ones that rescued him when he was almost killed at Sodeinde hall many years ago. He knew the many people he went to lobby to help him get the votes he got to be elected as SU president. We know his history
ReplyDeleteSo, if you assisted Sowore when he was a student, does it mean he is also parading a fake result like Dino? What is sure is that Dino will be disappointed in the courts. Of course, he is likely to drop the suit against Sahara reporters, because he stands no chance. Behind Sahara reporters are political heavyweights that will ensure Dino is drowned.
DeleteWhy are u guys making noise about how many O'level Dino used to enta skul? Have u forgotten how to enter sku in d North is different from D South and east and west?
