I think if you do well in your exams and your name is not an Igbo name you shouldn't have any problems getting admission to any University in Nigeria.

What about Igbo names?  I think it depends on your scores and the school.

Answer is simple - too many students competing for fewer schools. Result? Schools boost their admission scores to weed out people and of course, in true naija style, bribery is the norm as well.
How to overcome? Allow more private schools, sell off govt schools to the private sector. Competition will ensue and I bet the status quo will return.
as always, my 2 cents

A friend of mine had 6 A's in his WAEC , 281 in his JAMB and he still couldn't get admission in Nigeria until I hooked him up with a family friend who works in UNILAG. In Nigerian Universities, once you know somebody in high postions in the University, admission into the University is like child's play!!

It is unfortunate when we have to rely on "connections" to go into school. In my opinion, it is the result of indoctrination from the womb which dictates that we are all outcasts if we don't attend university. Granted one who does stands to do better in life than one who doesn't, but what do connections achieve? To me, the answer is clear: a dumbing down of Nigerian Education as well as the encouragement of brain drain.
Too bad, so sad.

gettin into a university is not as difficult as u think. don't be deceived and try as much as u can to go to the right university that is either not tribalistic or briberyristic. because i noticed get to western university if your igbo is almost second to impossible- quote me any where. i graduated formt he university of port harcourt and i can beat my hand on my chet to tellu that admission process in the school has been so much sanitised that if anybody tells u to drop money just know he is lying there are various ways to enter uniport firstly score very well in jamb. then go write the aptitude test if u pass your in if u fail. register for the basic- predegree program it runs ony for one session although the school fees is between 50 and 75k but i tell u 70% of uniport students come in through this way because the school actually needs the money more than u well there is also a 1 year certificate program if your not in sciences, medicine or engineering because the basic is strickly for these 3 faculties i mentioned above. the certificate program is for arts/humanites and few social sciences and of course education faCULTIES. BOTHE THE basci and the certificate program are simple and straight forward only if u would read but 90% always pass most times if u don't make it to your department min scores they reschedule u for instance medicine cut off point is 65% electrical is 65% other engineering is 55% while sciences is 40% so if your in med /electrical and u don't meet up the 65% u might be sent to sciences. mind u i said it is easy but we all know uniport is a fun luving university the best in nigeria in that aspect now tell me will u concentrate??? because the parties are almost every weekend expecially in 2nd semester, and men u sure must be a genious to attend the parties and still meet up with class work u have to decide which u belong. like i said decide because the schooltransform u wont know when u have drifted i had a lot of friends with extra years in school they did not know when they lost it and the peak period expecially in engineering thats if u succeed is year 1 and 2 so try uniport next jamb have your waec i bet u u woulthankme later kaecy
