If there is a North, there should be a South. You cannot claim the whole3 regions of the North are the same and try to differentiate the South

The difference between Kogi, Jos Borno and Sokoto is as wide as the difference between Ibadan, Onitsha, Calabar and Warri

Who is "YOU"

No one imposed the identity on the " North" they have a CHOICE
They voluntarily created bodies like
AREWA
Northern Elders forum
Northern Governors Forum
etc

No one forced them

Also at independence There was a Western region but The Midwest said they want no part of it. They had a vote and the Midwest region was created

No one is forcing anyone to be anything

You do not know how to reason

What do you mean by

If there is a North there should be a South?
So if your children have measles your neighbours children should have measles?

Those In the northern part must make their own choice and no one can choose for them
They cannot choose for others
There is nothing like southerner

Obviously, North don’t want their females to be educated.

Na dem go still come be Ministers, Perm Secs, Directors, etc

The west was magnanimous enough to grant the desires of the Midwest to be separate other regions found a way to suppress the minorities

There has always been a middle belt group that sought a separate identity, Just lik Adaka Boros people tried to

How is that relevant to the foolish claim that if there is a north there must be a south?
The west was not magnanimous and that statement makes me wonder how old you are

Find out exactly how the Midwest came into being


Fact is there is nothing like southerner such a consciousness does not exist

Actually, Nigeria was created from the southern protectorate, northern protectorate and the colony of Lagos, in that sense there was a southern and northern Nigeria.

North shouldn't look at as a monolithic group the same way the south is not monolithic by the point of discussion is a quota system is detrimental to the development of any country

This one is nothing nah. MelesZenawi entered secondary school with 0 cut off mark. He is a typical aboki.

I like us to move this thread to the front page so more people can gain insight into the handling of the nation's educational policies

You are not well informed

The Colony of Lagos was a term that included what was later known as Western region while Souther Nigeria protectorate was what later became Eastern Nigeria

Don't ask us again

You are grossly misinformed bro! Lagos colony only covers Lagos Island while mainland and southwest was known as Yoruba interior which was together with south-east in what was called southern Nigeria

"The southern protectorate was divided into two provinces in 1939—Western and Eastern—and in 1954 they, along with the northern protectorate, were renamed the Western, Eastern, and Northern regions as part of Nigeria's reconstruction into a federal state"

tartar9:
Well,nothing wrong with this,everyone has to be equally represented.Lets not forget that here in the South(the South East especially) cheating is involved in almost all centers such examinations are conducted.

That Is In The Spirit Of Federal Character? Then What Appointment Of Service Chiefs? Hope Nothing Wrong Too? Changing Goal Post.

Guy the Colonialists recorded annual reports of The Colony of Lagos every year .


They are available online and on some nairaland threads

This is the one for 1898

Schools funded by Federal govt is assumed that the income comes from all states, So why shouldn't indigenes from all states have a chance at it not only those with superior academic backgrounds

FGN is not in the business of secondary education, Those Unity schools were for a specific purpose. You don't have to attend a Federal secondary school, there are over a million non-federal secondary school. There are state schools, private schools etc

You know in America If an Asian(Chinese and Indian) scores the same marks as a Hispanic in the SAT. The Hispanic student has a better chance of admission because of Affirmative action a law that seeks to have equal representation of educationally disadvantaged groups

SMH. You're trying to defend an appalling situation in northern region. The leaders need to change the status quo. The literacy gap is getting wider and wider. Just like Sanusi said, a time will come when quota system will not help the region.

franchasng:
it's the norm, I am no longer bothered

This excercebates why a referendum is a national urgency

raumdeuter:
All these are emotional arguments and lacking logic

The purpose of the creation of Unity schools is to have equal representation from all states in Nigeria. Full stop

The admission is not solely based on the highest marks its to have every part of the country represented in the class to foster Unity. That is the purpose for creating Unity Scholls
So cutoffs are set to ensure that happens

What is the point of a Unity school if all the students are from Anambra and Ogun state, what is the Unity in that

I agree with you however the cut off for those northern states continues to remain low from immemorial. Don't you think those scores need review ?

It is through this process that Mohammed tanko accidentally became the CHIEF JUSTICE OF NIGERIA

WHAT A SHAME

franchasng:
it's the norm, I am no longer bothered

This is one of the reason why Emir Lamido Sanusi is asking the core northern Nigeria to jettison the defective quota system concept but will they listen?

During higher institutions intake, they will remember that they are educationally less privileged but after school, they will readily get all the federal min and parastal jobs without adverts.
And the speed with which they promote them is shocking.

One Nigeria my foot.
Sometimes u enter a supposedly federal parastatal and the official language is Hausa.

Mtcheeew

Have the number of students getting beyond those cutoffs increased? whats the purpose of increasing cutoff if students still dont make it

This is so sad. It's wrong to sacrifice academic excellence on the alter of federal character.

have you considered the major ministries are headed by Southerners in this same regime? Works Power Transport Foreign affairs petroleum even Finance until Kemi Adeosun left

Do you think that is fair?

These are the major ministries: Defence, Interior, Finance, Agric, Education, Works, Foreign Affairs.

They are a mix of northerners and southerners. And even if they arent, it is the President's responsibility to fix it.

Now, plzz respond to my comments on the security make up of the country currently.

What were you expecting That marks the difference between South and North I hope my statement is understandable��

The uneven competition is spurring our kids to greater conquest.

The only downside is that the poorly educated and academically deficient north will later come to rule over their better south, with the help of the Yorubas
