The admission list into the Federal Government Academy, Suleja aka Suleja Academy (a special school for the gifted) for the 2014/2015 academic session is out and a cursory analysis of the list shows that students of Igbo origin make up 46% of the list.

I'm so happy for my tribe

Hehehehe. Sunnybobo, you are giving ''them'' heart attack

Do we have these colleges in Ibadan and Ogbomosho? If so who are the leading merit candidates?

46%? To me that is poor!!!! what happened to 75%?

Interesting!
So, you are saying that 46% of Nigeria's Gifted Children are Igbo.

guy,abugodim onye igbo

Dominating the north and the sw educationally.

other nigerians dont attend such low standard schools again...maybe na mostly ur peeps do attend...

tobtap: other nigerians dont attend such low standard schools again...maybe na mostly ur peeps do attend...

Those other non Igbo names are not Nigerians, abi? Ostrich yoruba living in denial since eon.

see your teeth, as brown as Ibadan roof

u didn't see the king's college %? Even with our states having d highest cut off for both boys n girls. This is low compared to that. For d brown teeth, sorry i am not into online insults.

Let merit be the primary consideration for the day-to-day running of this country, that's all i ask......then watch where this country will be in the next 10 years! When regions/zones realize they're being left behind and that there's no free lunch anymore, they'll put in the extra effort and catch up with the rest!

Those that feel they need quota-system and federal character to get on in life are doing themselves no favors! Think i'm joking?.......Just take a look at the North: they've been aided with these twin retrogressive policies to stay in touch with the rest since the end of the civil war, and it's made them believe they can still get on in life without putting in the effort! The world doesn't work that way!

I counted 62 Igbos out of 138 students that passed the written n oral interview leaving 76 for other Nigerians to share, I am elated. Being Igbo is a privilege and I love being Igbo. Federal character is what is killing nigeria, if we can compete favorably nigeria will be a better place. Oganihu ndi Igbo is all I pray for each day. Ya gazie umunne m.

Excellent.

The developed world is so because they believe and abide in meritocracy.

Quota system is an aberration of the normal natural selection (that betters a society) and must stop.

Notice a somewhat similar pattern to WAEC.

they would rather die than abolish the quota system.
they would rather die than allow a level playing ground where its obvious who would come out tops.
they call it Igbo domination when they can't compete.
it scares them sh**tless.

Orlandoowoh, saxywale,bayo, decemberiv, size38, arysexy you are all needed on this thread.

Lol, the competitive spirit of an average igbo is never in doubt. Give us a level playing ground devoid of quota system and ethnic bias and watch my people come tops.

This still prove the kings college dominance in their backyard is no fLuke let them keep living in denial

No surprise because suleja is a mini-eastern state.

And that is after applying tribalism, federal charachter and quota!

Eko oni ogbanje ooooo.

Dude are you a Nigerian at all? We are talking about the only school for the gifted and hyper intelligent children in Nigeria and you are referring to Suleja town? SMH!

They thought that killing our elites in 1966-1970 (and beyond) will keep us down. They have yet to realise that being on top is genetic.

Nigeria is drawing Igbos backward with quota system. All we needed is fair n equal play, make the country competitive so that Igbos can take their rightful place.

It must be a such a rare exception for it to be this celebrated. Anyway merit is another word for miracle centre in the SE. One would wonder why such a prestigious academy that is supposedly dominated by Ibos is located in the North and established by Northerners, even more puzzling is the absence of similar gifted academies in their own land. If only you jokers know how silly you look to other Nigerians when you engage in your empty chestbeating rituals , inferiority complex in its purest form.

It's called one nigeria. lol.

If you like, place it in Sambisa forest, Igbos will still dominate.

no am from timbuktu! I was refering to the location of the school and the numerical strength of Igbos in suleja

JEITO: no am from timb uktu! I was refering to the location of the school and the numerical strength of Igbos in suleja

I understand that but they don't get their students from the local populace.

How's life in Timbuktu?

Established by northerners? I think you need a neurosurgeon to examine you properly.

Primary school pupils have invaded Nairaland.

So so so proud of my tribe!!

PROUDLY IGBO.

GOD BLESS UMU IGBO!!!

Cool

Back then in King's College, most of the kids from that 'Federal Character' region got into school but didn't graduate. I can count on a mutilated finger the number of those who were able to sustain the academic rigors of the College. For instance, when I was in JSS 1-2, we were more than 80 in my class and we had A-H arms per level (i.e 80x8). However, when I finished there, we were a little above 50.

This same thing repeated itself in my Uni where the Chancellor is a Prominent Northern Traditional Ruler. He 'encouraged' students from the North to study in that University even when they couldn't beat the requisite marks. Most of them got admitted by hook or crook but the experiment ended in total failure. These guys had the largest collections of Fs around. Most of them actually dropped out in their Second year.

Imagine walking to the hospital and you have an option of being treated by a doctor who qualified on merit or who qualified based on quota. Which would you choose?
