sigba: I think Rochas juicy promises to Imo state indigenes schooling in the state affected the number of people that enrolled into IMSU.

Another confused dude.

Kai! Internet is really not for everybody.

oraclefemi:

Youre wrong, a lot of students migrate to place where you can write the exams and cheat easily, my sister went to a village in ijebu to write waec, migration occurs i am sure of that

Sagamite: It is quite foolish to conclude which region has the most educated based on JAMB enrolments or which university is of the highest quality based on selection popularity.

All the data from the table are only (at best) indicative, not conclusive.

If anyone is foolish enough to disagree with my assertion, feel free to challenge it.

chmod777:
Dear oraclefemi, by oracle I feel u are an IT expert, u are more mature than the argument you are posing. Have u been following the threads ? State of Origin is used by JAMB , not state of residence or no of exam centres. Why not accept the fact that IMO people have over 40/% educated piple than most SW states, check it out from the link from nano.
Suit your self

Nnenna1:

Are you sure about this?

Cameroon has long viewed her giant neighbour as an
imperialist-in-the-making, especially given Nigerians'
ballooning population. They began arriving Cameroon
in the early colonial days as fishermen, traders and
administrators. Their population is now estimated at
more than 4m out of a population of 19.5m.

War in the Central
African Republic has driven more than twenty thousand
refugees to Cameroon's Adamawa and East provinces since
2002. Nigerians, especially Igbo, make up the largest group
of foreign nationals.

Funkymallam:

U still have not answered his question, even with ur geography degree.
I advice u read d question again, this time, slowly for better understanding.

Goodluck.

I know a number of traders who are graduates in Alaba and Ariaria markets. They go into buying and selling for lack of corporate jobs.

kcswat: mumu. Since 1980s imo state has always bn ontop. So maybe rochas declare free education then? Rochas free education has not even implemented.

Yeske!:
The north is unarguably the most backward in education.

Onlytruth: But by far my biggest shock of these is that NAU is now the second most popular school in Nigeria, second only to UNILAG.
When did this happen?

Abagworo:


1) Anambra is clearly more populous than Imo.

2) Imo is more education minded than Anambra at least in recent generation.

3) The JAMB statistics is based on State of origin and not State of residence. That is why the figures for Abuja and Lagos are too insignificant.

4) If a census is done based on State of origin, Anambra is very much likely the most populous State in Nigeria followed closely by Imo, Akwa-Ibom and Delta.

Onlytruth:

Exactly! Honestly I strongly believe that Imo state is being undercounted population-wise somehow. My statistical hunch tells me that the state is actually more populous than it is being credited with.
These figures are powerful.
The gap between Imo and Anambra (in enrollment) is almost 40,000; yet Anambra is about 1.8 times the population of Imo (per the official population figures!).
I know that Anambra is not as education minded as Imo, but not by that much. Honestly I don't know any Anambra kid THESE DAYS that is not sitting for JAMB even if there is no money to pay for the university. Before it used to be that kids just chose trading, but these days, they would pursue education first before returning to trading.
What the published figures say is that Imo kids are about [b]4 times [/b]more likely to enrol for JAMB than Anambra kids. I honestly don't believe that.

Onlytruth: I know there was a time that University of Ibadan was in the same rank as UNN and OAU and UNILAG; how did UI only manage to rank lower than Imo state university in student preferrence? What happened to UI?

Areosapien:

Now, this is another classic proof to show how ignorant and dumb you are.

Sapien is for HUMANS and not apes, my dumb empty headed friend, while AREO is a prefix to denote anything related to the planet MARS. In other words, my name stands for "Martian".

You see? You're too much of a DULLARD to be engaging in serious political discussions, fella. Why not sit this out?

Imagine. Akwa Ibom, 3rd most populous state in Nigeria. LMFAO!

nanos: I will post newspaper reports for a number of years to prove the consistency of Imo and Anambra. JAMB website contained these information until Dibu Ojerinde destroyed the website (was he hiding something?). This is evidence from 2006.

JAMB Cancels 108,769 Results
Kolawole Daniel, Abuja - 08.07.2006

THE Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has cancelled the results of 108,769 candidates out of 806,089 who sat for this year’s Universities Matriculation Examination (UME) for engaging in examination malpractice.


A 38-year-old, Mr. Lymangee Agirafo, Benue State, headed this year’s list with an aggregate score of 330, while Mr. Ade Maliki, 46, from Kogi State with an aggregate score of 324 was also among the top ten.


Briefing newsmen in Abuja, JAMB Registrar, Professor Bello Salim, said it was quite unfortunate to note that the board was being forced to cancel many results because of large scale irregularity and malpractice discovered during the processing of the results.


Professor Salim also put the number of candidates whose scripts were unscannable at 7,430 due to multiple shading; incomplete shading, incorrect shading and leaving the scripts blank.


“This is quite unhealthy for the education sector and the board will continue to de-recognise examination towns and centres where wholesale malpractices were discovered,” he said.


The JAMB board registrar also announced that it has delisted about 1,700 examination towns where malpractice were perpetrated.


The analysis also showed six states who had the highest number of applications this year with Imo State topping the list with 83,895 applications, Edo State with 57,754, Anambra State with 57,607, Delta State with 54,522, Abia State with 39,054 and Akwa Ibom State with 36,054.
