Using of statistics released by WAEC as a yard to measure success in education in each region is very wrong and it can never be use as a medium. Success in education can not be measure based on statistics released by examination bodies like WAEC, NECO, JAMB .et.c. The statistics did not show the true fact of what is on ground or the reality. Nigeria is a country where things are manipulate easily by going through the back doors. Nigerians are aware of the special centres, where examination malpractice is carried out. With the alarming rate of examination malpractice, the government enacted what is called Examination Malpractice Act - which stipulate 21 years imprisonment for whosoever caught in examination malpractice
I read it in one of the dailies that over four hundred special centres were shut down in Anambra State by the state government. Statistics from WAEC, JAMB, NECO, can not be use as a measurement due to level of examination malpractices in Nigeria irrespective of regions. Though, there are few out of the students that their examination result really reflect the ability.
If WAEC statistics is used as yard stick, does the majority of students from the region that top the WAEC statistics or index maintain this form of excellence to the tertiary institution?
If statistics from examination bodies like WAEC, NECO, JAMB can be used as a yard stick to rank region on literacy level, can it also be use, the index of university ranking in Nigeria done by bodies concern with educational matters within and outside Nigeria to measure the literacy level. Universities from particular region always top the list.
Assessment of brilliancy or literacy level in Nigeria can not be based only on the primary or secondary...but also to tertiary institution level...
If we are to based achievement or success in education matters on statistics ... then the best and proper parameter to use should be statistics on university ranking in Nigeria because at the tertiary level, malpractice is a grievous crime... If a student use a crook means to scale through the hurdle of WAEC /NECO, JAMB such student do meet his/her water loo in the Post-UTME, the reality is down on such students when he or she is eventually admitted
If students in south eastern part of the country probably the south southern too, can achieve such excellence in WAEC , what is stopping them to repeat such at the tertiary level in their region?
Statistics from examination bodies can never be used as a parameter...

jealousy and bad belle instigated write up because your supposed most educated, sophisticated region is being trashed by other regions. exam malpractice is a national malaise that has been proved to be more endemic and organised in your region by a national body.
we can discuss on the result of the tertiary results when you make the tertiary education results and data available.
don't be so envious and pained OP because it has been established that the region that leads the WAEC table has the highest average IQ in Africa and even beat the Asians in UK.

Cry me river and tell that to the marines of south west.

Cry cry baby

The truth remains that deficiencies in the WAEC and JAMB prompted universities to introduce post JAMB to weed out cheats. Cheating in some places in the south is sophisticated and involves collaboration between teachers, parents, students, schools and exam bodies. When I see fools boasting that their states boast of the most brilliant students I often wonder how that has ever translated to more development in their states. These fools hide behind those so called brilliant students to explain away their uneventful lives.
