From your logic and reasoning it then means excluding the SE from the 40 important political appointments made so far by the present administration is rocket science.

Try some other tales...

tevinsolt:

it seems to be, because you killed yourselves politically, so swerve with that political bullshit.
I bet you think Jonathan's administration is the best thing to have ever happened in your life too.

obailala:
I have never supported the quota system... and I also dont support your continuous insinuations that only Igbos are the victims of this.

xtrorse:


From your first comment you shouldn't have bothered concealing your hypocritical bigotry while appearing to be objective defending the indefensible Quota System on Unity Schools admission.

From your trainings you understood by books that exercising one's franchise right in a democratic setting is tantamount to killing oneself politically.

I don't need to blame you for how low you can sink to support injustice. I blame myself for being made to be in the same country filled with hypocritical bigots with bizarre understanding.

Time shall tell...

warrior01:
This is so disheartening as the injustice continues where even a female child from Anambra has to score 66 and above to get admission while a child from sokoto has to score only 7 to get same. Is it fair? Where is the merit in this case?

shizzy7:
Why are you like this
What is not fair?? is it only Igbo that is high what of Yoruba..

Have you ever lived in the north before??
Sokoto has the HIGHEST poverty and Illiteracy rate in Nigeria.....

***Free school they don't want to go not to talk about giving them high Cut off marks....and you're the same person that will say they little girls are getting married...

Their mentality is different from that of the South that takes education as "A MUST" affair.....the low cut off marks is just to encourage them....

EVERYTIME you guys are always Coming up with Sectional and tribalistic threads,,,..

StOla:


Go and change the laws that established the unity schools and stop making noise where it is of no relevance. It is not a school of merit or for the gifted. It is a unity school for National Integration.

If you are not interested, get your kids into private schools where you may actually get admission by academic merit, but you would also pay the true worth of the education received, unlike the subsidized unity school.

Why must you always covet what does not belong to you?
You have your quota, they have theirs, is that too difficult for a greedy soul to deal with?

I have no time for tribal arguments on a Monday.

Do you ever give yourself any rest from tribal agitations?

StOla:


Let me give you a final education as I do not want to be tied up with Igbos who are determined to whine about other people's property, while trying to appear as a victim of injustice.

If the North picks up overnight and start scoring high in these entry exams, their cut off mark will be as high as Lagos or Anambra or Delta, but the number of Northerners admitted would still be the same because they are only filling their guaranteed quota without taking away what belongs to another.

If Anambra state or Abia state suddenly starts scoring low, by extension their cut off mark could fall as low as 20, but they will still fill up their guaranteed quota with that low mark, without any state taking what belongs to them.

Is this very plain principle of quota too complex for the educated Igbo to grasp?

I am a full blooded Igbo but that is not injustice it shows superiority.

NoMoreTrolling:



it seems you are plugged in, so you are not grasping what the theme of this thread is, what the implications are and what the rectification should be how am I supposed to get through to you when you are so steadfast in your belief in mediocrity

nonetheless, i'm still gonna try

we are arguing, not based on the technicalities and implementation of the quota system, but based on the rationale behind it

let me state an example for you in practical terms. when i was in ss3, we had a junior student in ss2 then that couldn't do simple multiplication. like he couldn't do 4 * 4 and so on and I and my friends wondered how he kept rising through school with failed class reports. being much younger then, we probably just laughed it off as we had more pressing school issues to think about like light, water... however, now it does sink in a bit.

i ask you, would a student who scored 7 be learning the same material as the one who scored 60

would the material be dropped down to the level of the "7" student, or brought up to the level of the "60" student

if it's brought down to the level of the "7" student, then the "60" student would have wasted a great potential in that school and if it is brought up to the "60" student level, then how would the "7" student compete

do you now see how delirious the current system is

here you are giving me numbers and statistics of how the current bad implementation of the quota system is being carried out and you expect that to serve as some sort of justification you even mention about a state not being cheated! that's how far down the rabbit hole you've sunk.

you need to first unplug dude

Time shall tell who will be rueful...

gbemtrol:
To my fellow Ndi Igbo, people will not take us serious if we do not show basic understanding and we cry foul anytime we hear "North" in any conversation. It's quite ridiculous.

Let me break it down; Some call the system "Quota System" others call it "Affirmative Action" (you may search for that). It's primarily designed "to encourage" participation in an activity, usually when a particular group of persons or people have been found out not to partake in that activity as much as other persons or people. Everyone knows Northern Nigeria is the least literate part of Nigeria. So how can literacy be encouraged? Simply by increasing the number of participants by LOWERING their cut off marks which by the way doesn't infringe on any other region's "share".

As for we in the east whenever we give birth to a child what we're thinking of 'is which school the child will attend and not if the child will attend school or not. That speaks volume, it means there is HIGH PARTICIPATION, so how can we encourage excellence? By raising the cut off mark.
After achieving high participation the next goal is excellence.

ArodewilliamsT:


Why do enjoy deceiving yourself? you will become Igbo the day my dog becomes a Horse.

tevinsolt:

Of course only time shall tell, you have the right exercise your ideas and beliefs, Those with opposing views also have the right to same, when the opposing view supersedes then it only makes sense to bring people with same ideals on board.....Majority of Igbos supported Jonathan, so why bring them on board when they have opposing views.

xtrorse:


You tribe or mine, we shall surely know who is mischievous or making sense and who will be rueful eventually...

tevinsolt:

The endgame is gonna be a split, like your people are already abusively Demanding for, you can then sail off into the sunset and show the world what the Igbo spirit is made of.

xtrorse:


Nice to read that fact from you. Kudos!

Ever since you were born, have you seen or heard anywhere Igbos are on rampage, killing people and destroying means of livelihoods for no just cause?

Have any prominent Igbo personality insulted or maligned your father or tribe?

Before 2015 general elections certain persons like FFK, Fayose, Fashola, Tinubu, Lai, El Rufai, Junaid Mohammed, Obj and Sahara Reporters made careless utterances thereby heating up the polity. Is any of them Igbo? Did you and your folks ever countered them?

During the build up to the general elections, did you condemn the highly inciting Radio Chanji in the North?

During the June 12, 1993 saga, Radio Kudirat was hitting the airwaves and inciting the public, did any of your elites dared express their disapproval?

But while at it, have you and your elites ever countered the hate messages being preached in various mosques and the unconscionable, cold-hearted waste of human lives and reckless destruction of means of livelihoods that have been going on for decades in the North and the Middle-belt?

If your answer is in the negative it shows that you've only survived and flourished at the expense of others by virtue of the injustice, inequity and lopsided arrangement in the polity coupled with your cowardly and slavish mentality and reasoning...

TIMEISWISDOM:
you made sense only to the gullible, unpatriotic or tribalists.
I thought we are all born equal?
These are mere children for Christ sake!

warrior01:
Why target Igbos? This shows Igbos are far ahead others academically in this country but when it comes to appointments they are sidelined. Shame on Nigeria

meccuno:
will it take 100 years before they start participating in education? They don't like education but they want to rule in perpetuity

CSTR2:
I am not someone you can bullshitt your way through.
Nigeria is a nation of tribes. There are always different interests playing.
Even your national leaders are often tribal. The most de-tribalized Nigerian knows when to play the ethnic card. It is a matter of survival.
I have gone through your posts, there is no semblance of igboness in it.
I have never seen you defend igbo interests even when it is the right thing to do.
You are either an imposter or not very smart.

badnature:
expect the awusa/fulani slaves (yolooba) to come and defend the action of their masters.the never see anything wrong in anything,provided that thing is against igbo people

xtrorse:


Hold it there! Enough of your diatribe and false accusation!

Since the sojourn of this country which tribes have continually displayed sectionalism and tribalism in national affairs?

Which tribes have used every available media outfit at their disposal to malign and paint other people black just to get undue political advantages?

Over the course of Nigeria's political life whose leaders and elites have used the media to fabricate and spread lies, falsehood and propaganda, which have fuelled the heating up of the polity?

Is it fair to place Quota System as priority in merit-related issues than in political appointments?

Is it fair that SW personalities were amongst the 40 important political appointments made so far by the PMB administration without any consideration for the SE?

Is it fair that when it comes to revenue sharing you remind me that it shall be based on the number of the disproportionately acquired, numerous LGAs, which in your sparsely populated parasitic State is 10 times bigger in land mass than my densely populated State?

Do well to provide the necessary answers to see if your last statement holds any water and for a robust discourse.

AlPeter:


yes they are! And the school's a Unity school every state is given a chance to benefit. Each state has it's quota simple! Stop this victim mentality

shizzy7:
What is this unity school? Is it not like any other federal or state school??
What is special about the school?

gbemtrol:


Obviously you never attended one. And no, it's not like any other school.
