SeaGold: During my primary school days in a remote community in IMO state, I usually come "middle" of the class in my report card until my dad was transferred to Ogoja in cross River state and I went with him. I was again registered in a primary school to continue Form 4. I was so shy and intimidated among my school mates because I couldn't speak the English language then. Infact my classmates make jokes of me with their "Oyibo" language since my lingua franca is the IbO language.

What surprised everyone was that in my first term, first examination I took first without speaking the English language. My form teacher was so surprise she began monitoring me to see who writes tests and examination for me until I prove her wrong by coming top in her class and I continued till I left for secondary education.

In eastern Nigeria, being brilliant is a tough contest among pupils and students

Exactly. You captured it all. Education in the east is very tough competiton. I went to secondary school(GSSO Owerri) and university(UNN Enugu) in the east and it was all tough competition all the way, with everyone competing to outdo the others and the antics involved and so on.

new2020: [b]You can only hold a people temporarily against their WILL. The Igbos have been held down in this country for too long; a war that delayed their divine emergence as the true face of Nigeria, a people who were carved the smallest land area of all regions in Nigeria with calculated intent to marginalize and stifle their divine dominance and leadership. In all, they accepted it in good faith. In less than 45 yrs, coming out of the war with virtually nothing, they have become the true face of Nigeria and lead in all strata of human achievement....individual wealth, education, business, number of technocrats in government and agencies, pageants, e.t.c. Coming from a Calabar man, you Igbos are the light of Nigeria, we fought and bled with you people during the war because we know that a country led by the Igbos, will bring about a new dawn in Africa. It's evident no region is a match to them. In the words of moses I say...let my people go! It's time to let the Igbos assume their divine position to lead this nation!

Congratulations to all SE and SS states![/b]

^^^Thank you my brother!

Igbos have always considered Efik/Ibibio/Annang as not only agbata-obi but indeed our equals and brothers in this shithole of a country!

eaglechild: What could be responsible for the falling standard of education in the SW.

Or is it that the SE is just taking its rightful place?

Just look at Ebonyi state, some years back it was classified as educationally disadvantaged.

But just within a space of about 5 years it has leaped into 11th position.

Anambra is widening the gap.

What are other regions doing wrong?

education isn't 'falling' in the SW.

The SW lied to everyone and started saying they were educated when they weren't. Started saying they have free education when they don't, and started telling everyone Ekiti was the 'brain box' of Nigeria when it was the most educationally disadvantaged state in their region. They believe is just saying things instead of making it happen.

They then turned around and tried to use their gossip economics to say igbos were uneducated, that they were just into trading spare parts etc etc. Still for the past 10 years Igbos have dominated JAMB, WAEC, and NECO by significant and staggering margins. Even Lagos with all of it's federal built modernity can't beat the Aba Southwesterns like to gossip about.


Continue gossiping and spreading lies but keep your illusions to yourself because nobody is buying them anymore.

I pity them though.

If our people really put what they have learned in schools into use...some comments here arent supposd to be posted in any sense...so please wise up and say NO to tribal and religious differences. EDUCATION IS WHAT DISTINGUISHES YOU FROM TOUTS.

okotv: to all those bashing states, remember sometime this year, the secondary schools had a quiz competition with Imo coming first and Ogun second, a lot of this results are just group results which doesn't really have any effect in the real sense. Have you checked the top students list before, if we were to go by tribe, i would say Yoruba's rule but no, why because the country's results are dwindling and we are claiming tribe..don't we understand that the problem caused by an uneducated population would affect even the learned...see Bornu for example, we might have a very low number of educated folks there but they cant even prove it cause the conditions are lackadaisical. Lets promote unity with our utterances and leave tribalism cause it does not help matters.

so because you were looking at porn0 on your Ipon Imo instead of studying the rest of us can't be happy about our success? Go and talk to your kindred that were labeling Igbos illiterates. The average yoruba man still believes his people are more educated than Igbos and will spread this lie in a heart beat.

CHAI REST IN PEACE BINGO #SUICIDE THINGS

sorry if i offended you with my comment...am Nigerian and i have to say things the way they are...forget my tribe but see me as a brother...is that too difficult to request

Anything new about the with held result?

n

not true........ ? Y ekiti not in top three? fayami, daris God
ooo

WITH ALL THIS STATS i dont understand why we have lot of graduate working an roming our street for me the rule is simple in as much as in good to have good grade i think i rather remain smart.....settle for enterprenuaring even as student.

atlwireles: Is this the results that were just released?

This definitely ranks as the dumbest question I've seen on Nairaland so far. Damn.

mustymatic: I hope you all passed yours before posting these nonsense...Mumus, people like you write waec yearly...like ya birthday, biatches

E pain am!

76Naira: Even with all the question leakages.
The northern states need to sit up. Well, maybe Boko Haram would be happy with their poor performance.

Unfortunately for miscreants like you those nothern states folks dont go for exam malpractise heard this leakages arre sometimes procured by state education ministry at government expense .

Ikengawo:
this is true. the the old eastern state parents used to use their life savings to send their kids to school in Umuahia.

I'm ashamed at Imo's position. We're not supposed to be under APC. I'm worried that this worthless stipend is causing kids to go to school thinking about money and not their studies.




Anambra needs to be studied. It's not that it's the best, it's the best by an almost 10% margin, the widest gap between two states[/b], so obviously something unique is happening here. Normally Anambra is #1, but with a smaller margin. I'm willing to say that this is due to [b]Peter Obi handing the schools back to the churches and taking the government's hands out of educational affairs. I bet the bulk of the failed students there came from abandoned federal schools.

I would agree, with the bold in your comment, then, you have Edo and bayelsa states, with very strong government support, doing very well too.

My Anambra fellow folks, uni di egwu.. Congratulations to Anambra students, you made us proud. Congratulations to the SE states that trumped us to the height, I say great job. Finally, congratulations to my fellow SS, SW and everyone who scaled very well, God is your strength. As for those who failed, next year is another years.

was just passing by

Bleep U

Percentage in states where we don't have correct and accurate population, my foot!

Why not just list the numbers of students with 5 credits from each state? Ohh!! You know that won't favor you.

Did you attend elementary school at all?

The percentages are percentages of the total number of candidates that sat for the exam and not of the population of the states.

Anambra comming first after closing so many miracle centers. Meaning that they will forever remain at the top.

where is osun

MOBJECTIVE: States With Percentages over 50
1) Anambra, as usual: 65.92%
2) Abia, also as usual: 58.52%
3) Edo, new comer: 57.82%
4) Rivers, as usual: 52.78%
5) Enugu, as usual: 51.91%

yeah! these are the states where exam mal-practice take place in nigeria, believe me, i know what i am saying. 75% of eastrners come to edo state to write exam.

passion007: Also Ebonyi ate Ekiti for breakfast and de.fecated Oyo.

#saynotofreeeducation

Man you kill me with laugh,oh my God. LMFAO.

See the kind gap wey Anambra give Imo, even Abia, nna mehn! Imo no try atall

MOBJECTIVE: States With Percentages over 50

Ndiigbo have done it again o
Ndi anambra our good in laws,unu di three much

[size=28pt]As usual SE and SS leading in intelligence and smarts

Igbo kwe nu
Ndi SS kwezuonu![/size]

Our brothers and sisters from other zones,keep hating and carrying last
Don't go and look for ndiigbo and ndi south south to tutor you

Next WAEC,you may be getting 10%

whitecat007: Percentage in states where we don't have correct and accurate population, my foot!

Shameful ileke -idi from ekiti.

What has inaccurate population got to do with performance?

5 credits won't favour who? U are shameless. You can't gain admission with 5 credits without English and maths that's what waec considers pass.

Pray tell me how ur sw candidates that couldn't pass English and maths would do better than those that trumped them.

From experience, most students that got credits in English and maths clear their remaining subjects since it takes good communication and calculating skills to scale art and science subjects respectively.

Let me hear any person from the SW open mouth and call northerners dunces
kaduna state and Benue outperformed Ekiti and oyo respectively
Imagine that.
Tufiakwa

Ekiti 33% choi
Ondo 32% chai
ogun 26%. Hai
Oyo 19% Kai
Oshun 19% Chei

MOBJECTIVE: States with percentages over 35
1) Kaduna: 36.38% which represents 36 514 students-about double the number who passed in Imo state
2) Ebonyi: 36.05% representing just 9 170 students out of 25 436

I think we can consider anything below 35% utter disappointment

You can say that again
We know the zones that fit right in
If na to abuse person,they will be beating their chests and hyperventilating

I bet you the 45% pass that Lagos state got is because of the SS and SEasterners in Lagos bringing the numbers up
Take them off,Lagos will be in the neighborhood of 25% like neighboring Ogun state
