Can you imagine; in this time and age someone from sokoto needs only 7 to get admission over a person from Anambra that scored 65 and some morons sees nothing wrong with it

and wen it coms 2 appointments dey suddenly remember dat sokoto has land mass bigger dan 3 eastern states put 2geda n all datt manner of silly arguments.how will d country not be in perpetual reverse wen competence is sacrificed for all d ridiculouss xcuses u can tink of

Ballmer:
Some of all this Biafran wailer just won't stop frustrating well meaning Nigerian. Igbo should be careful with all this war mongering and wailing. What your Kanu is doing on radio was what led to about a million death within only three days in Rwanda.

If Igbo state do not want to be cheated they can lower their score to zero, every state as the prerogative to dictate what is desirous to their state. Kudos to Igbo States the highest required score. It's a bench mark for future succes.

Seeking self-determination doesn't equate to call for war! It's not a must for us to co-exist under an entity.

As per your thought of Igbos lowering their score to zero to avoid being cheated in the Unity Schools admission; such thinking is rather appalling and highly regrettable to state the least.
It's too shallow for comfort as to share the same country.

Ndi Igbo are the best, in all legal ramifications, while others lead in terrorism and ritualists

personally I don't like dis toga of 'being best among d rest' much.I bliev oda nigerians r just not being competitiv enuf.its evn slowin us down.witout competition pp don't improve...but d prob is dat majority of nigerians esp from d 2 oda major tribes r just too at home wit mediocrity ...n den spend d little energy left in dem tryn 2 pull odas down.imagine d illiteracy in d core north..n dia leaders are mostly unperturbed.because dey knw dey can always cheat d country via dia d active co operatn of dia allies in d south

sokoto 15 and 7 ...hmmmmmmm

based on merit howw many Africans would study abroad even in eastern state we all know of catchment area between states of the same region .

virtually all schools in Nigeria have quota system except UI i guess .

all schools have different requirements for their students ..
even in neighbouring Ghana marks and even fees for their students are far different ..

.stop making noise ,only empty barrel do.
atleast you are deemed more intelligent if u keep shut.

But you wouldn't worry employing wicked propaganda to get undue political advantages.

Igbos were not the only ones with high cut off mark. People should stop complicating issues. Am also Igbo.

StOla:
Each state is filling its guaranteed quota in a federal education scheme designed for unity. It is not an admission based on academic merit but on compulsory NATIONAL representation.

It is nobody's business what low score or high score you require to fill up your own state quota. The high score only suggest better literacy indices in the South as opposed to the North.
No state is cheating the other, neither will any state yield its quota to another state until there's no candidate from the original state to fill their rightful quota.

The high cut-off score in the South is what internal competition demands to fill up their quota, while the low cut-off score in the North is what the low literacy levels ensure would fill up their own quota also.

Anyone who has no space to fill in their state quota can always try the myriad of state owned public schools or private school.

Lastly, what has the released marks got to do with a specific targeting of Igbos? You guys should please shut the hell up.

Enough of this unnecessary misinformation.

what is the misinformation in this? Why should Anambra state which are popularly know for their illiteracy score higher than any other state in Nigeria?
Is it not the same certificate that would be awarded to all these student at the end of the day?

Buhari appointed his brothers based on their competency, is this not how those mediocre where all produced?

Bros wake up from this your pretence and hypocrisy... The south is being cheated and the north kept producing half baked people in everything...

I am not complaining and glad that I am from Anambra State. It is a sign of our superiority to other states in Nigeria. That's why we progress in everything against all odds...


Long live Anambra State
Long Live Ndi Igbo

Bros,

1. I am very happy each time I see some idiots get schooled by people like you. It gives hope that sane people still do exist.
2. If someone's brain has regressed to the point of "Igbos are this-and-that....." then a translation from neurosis to physchosis is on the way.
3. Unfortunately other idiots will latch on to a flawed position, established by a prior idiot and then idiocy is perpertuated...

You are the idiot here because both Students can't be and are not naturally meant to be in the same class without those failures limiting the capacity of the ones with higher IQ thereby destroying the potentials of gifted children

all you just said there is what we all know but the questions are, is the margine in cut off mark between these regions logical and morally sound?, is there no other way to bridge these gap without been bias?...

Why should a Nigerian citizen enjoy same benefits with a UK citizen? What kind of low thinking is that?

You don't need to begin comparing orange with apple to lay credence to a wicked policy geared towards short-changing certain people.

The quota system is basically needed in political appointments for equal representation. Not when it suits you you discard quota system and appoint your next-to-dull kinsmen and still claim it was done on merit or that they are people you can trust.

Do you care to know that the bulk of the crude oil money budgeted for the Unity Schools comes from the Eastern region. The revenue is not from ground nut, cocoa or rubber.

You can't be robbing Peter perennially to pay Paul and still be talking about equity, justice and fair play.

we are talking abt nigerian internal affair and u are talking studying abroad.

basilo101:

we are talking abt nigerian internal affair and u are talking studying abroad.

dont mind him...he forgot to tell us also that the high cut for those outside the country is because the institution wants the citizens of the host country to have an advantage over their foreign counterpart

Is an indisputable fact that in Nigeria, the Igbos are the most brilliant as far as education is concern. The Igbo potentials are far beyond their imagination. The Igbo pple are really blessed and gifted by God, that why they can exalt in any environment. Respect to you all ...

Radio Biafra for this night go sweet wella

Another irritant brain.......... Your explanation is as useless as you come. I know you cannot comprehend, neither can I help.....

Bros,

Let me respond to your points.

1. If you flip this knot around as we try to understand it better, we should be realistic with our position on what is feasible. Even with the low cut-marks, some nothern states will not take up their quota. They will simply be under-enrolled.
2. The magnitude between the cutt-off marks goes beyond a moral questions. Under the current arrangements we run as a government, every states deserves their quota of the national cake; be it oil, ministeria appointment or Unity Schools.
3. A way to "bridge the gap" is for government to sell off all these schools and allow private owners to run it. There and then you will have cutt-off marks that is regardless of where you come from..........

from my pov, this is just common entrance, how many Northern pupils do u see in your classroom in the east? I believe the disparity in the cut-off marks is meant to reduce the high level of illiteracy in the north and at the very least ensure that children in the north get at least basic education to form 5 or ss3.

it means children from the south are at an advantage academically with easy access to education.
could remember when I served in Plateau state, some schools depended totally on corpers otherwise they wouldn't be opened for the session.

if we are to reduce illiteracy then this might actually be a good idea. it will give the northern children an opportunity, a shot to get secondary school education.

what they do with that education depends on them though. I think WAEC operates with a different standard. as well as UTME.

it would be interesting to compare the cut off for WAEC and NECO as well as post UTME.

besides I see cut off mark like 63, 64, 65 in the west and nobody is screaming blue murder.

Hypocritical reasoning...

Kinganaba:
Igbos were not the only ones with high cut off mark. People should stop complicating issues. Am also Igbo.

Bros,

Thank you very much. Some Igbo folks here on NL are just showing your crude they are in reasoning. Quota system had been in existence before virtually these little minded folks were even concieved. How can you as a citizen expect that it is only your tribe that should benefit from a federal government arrangement and expect there will be peace?

If these folks don't get it, tell your state government to make the cut-off marks for Notherners 350/100 in Eastern state-owned schools, if that will pacify their jaundiced and myopic thinking.

That igbos are the best and the most intelligent in the world......Oh! shove it. It is only idiotic fools that celebrate such "ridiculous" feat, celebrating cut-off marks as if they are results. Bunch of Illiterates!!!. I would imagine that this is coming from shallow, inferiority-complexed or illiterate folks. Educated and decent (Igbo) folks will be more interested in engaging in enobling discuss and creating value.

One would have thought that you will celebrate the fact that these cut-off marks are good indicators to encourage our children to work hard, knowing fully well that provided they beat the cut-off marks, they develop a winning mentality. My daughter went through these exams 2 years ago scoring 179/200 and the cut-off was 120. Most important thing was the preparation she got that molded her into a champion..............

Wait....... So u guys are now comparing yourself to the "Dullards" You guys described them as beasts but now they are geniuses C'mon brother, stop this tribalistic ish

Hey, hold it there before you spill more trash... At this age you should be in the know that SW has the highest illiterates in the South of Nigeria despite the over-hyped Awo's free education and Yorubas' much taunted 'sophistication'.

Google will unravel some truths to you. Just follow the steps hereafter and search for:

1* the States/region in Nigeria with the highest enrolment rates into the universities in Nigeria

2* the States with the highest JAMB cut-off marks for universities across Nigeria

3* the States/region with the least out of school children in Nigeria

4* the States/region that are required to have very high score for admission into the Unity Schools in Nigeria in the last decade

5* the State with the highest number of professors in Nigeria

6* the region with the best MDGs attainment

If you don't find your Yoruba tribe leading in any of the 6 categories it then means your ranting is senseless, and as far as the Igbos are concerned you remain a piss in the wind!

Ignorance indeed is a disease and an educated illiterate is even worse off.

zimoni:
...

I forgot to describe the so-called Immigrants living in SW.

Igbos call us various names(both good and derogatory), yet I don't see them as our enemies rather our competitors who challenge us to wake up. Anambra have been leading in Neco, Waec, Jamb and Unity School exams for four years.

Igbos will call you ofe.mmanu, fear fear, yoloba cowards, Yoruba Yoruba, owambe, abok.i slave, red-oil eater and various derogatory names. Yet, they have never attacked our people.

Yes, I can say it anywhere. Apart from goading and taunting Yorubas, Igbos are good people. I personally don't see them as our enemies. I also know they call us names because they are angry of what happened between 1967 and 1970.

I have never seen Nl internet warriors bash Hausa/Fulani, it's always been about Igbos. Did you notice how they avoid Fulani related threads like plague?

We really need to wake up in Yorubaland. A guy in agric section opened a thread and lamented about how the herdsmen destroyed his hectares of cassava farm when he was preparing to harvest. He reported to the police but police did nothing about it. Hectares of cassava gone just like that.

I'm angry. It's quite unfortunate. We don't take this shitt from anybody where I come from.

The Time To Wake Up and Defend Our Ancestral Land Is Now. Nobody will help us, we are on our own.

Utuleeeeeeeeeeeee nde ugwu wu nor itiburibor

kaycid77:
IGBOS in this forum should not complain.... this will only do us good in the long run, When the competition is high the IQ grows.its now obvious that an average Igbo child is more intelligent than other children including the sophisticated ppl from the West..... Igbo brain is beginning to look like bundling the brain of a Japanese, Chinese, Jews and Russian into one skull,....what do you expect.

I attened Unity school ( one of the best 5 unity schools in Nigeria then) and I dont want any of my kids to go to any one, the standed now is lower than what an Average Igbo man can give his kids

"All Igbos must praise this policy". Although, it was motivated by evil and wickedness but the outcome is priceless. This policy, I believe has been in place since early 80s. Igbos, I don't want to reveal to much, but this one policy is at the core of your success to day in this world after the genocide. It touches on migration, accelerated economic progression, progressive diasporan community, outstanding academic performances all over the world, backwardness, underdevelopment, bokoharam, failed state, rise of nollywood, 20 billion dollars remittances back into Nigerian economy yearly, increase in per capita income for others and lower for others and etc. Yoruba and hausa/fulani brains can never connect the dots on this one.

StOla:

You are truly disgusting

So we say goodbye to merit just like that

What kind of country is this men YYyyyyyy me

I'd rather give children with low scores some sort of pre-schooling aid to help bring them up to par with others so as to make the most of their education, than tell them that its okay to not even try hard

...unless of course maybe certain schools in areas affected by closure due to insecurity...

Indeed!

The bulk of the Northern quota will still not be met.

The unity schools can only attempt to bridge the gap.
The responsibility for that lies with the respective state governments at the primary education level.

As someone opined, if the East or West feel cheated about the poor scores of the North, it is in their power to lower the bar if that will make them happy.

Last last, it is still their quota that will be filled, so nobody will deny them what is theirs.

so what you mean is that every northern candidate should be admitted because they have low/under enrollment or simply put the quota system is for the advantage of the north...||(that makes the OP right in his claim about injustice againist some region in favour of other regions)
