Yes, A successful essay entry is the qualifying criterion for the quiz competition.

As for ur second Question, based on my understanding of the whole event, The questions for the quiz is going to zero in on the history of Nigeria

Then coming to the word length, the instructions says 100, It is expected of us to abide by it no matter how incomplete we feel our essay would be.
