I hear you.

Even if WAEC is to release a detailed list of subjects offered in 1961 you guys will say they also have become politicized like the way you labelled the Nigerian Army early today.

Don't worry nah. More revelations will emerge before Monday. Just advice your Buhari to shut his mouth about anything relating to this fake result.
if you can,please getd detailed list of subject so all this ends...you can't convince them........it's like you trying to impact knowledge into a zombie

Keep hiding from the truth.

What I know about the truth is that it will never hide and if you try to run from it, it always has a way of sneaking up to you.

The article is an academic paper published by a federal university citing an authentic source.

The facts don't care if you like them, that's why they are referred to as the bitter truth.

Now run away and come back when you have cooled down and have grown some brain cells.


So where is the comprehensive WAEC list of subjects offered since 1961?

The Journal was conducting a research based on 13 SELECTED subjects.

I will ask you again, WHERE IS THE FULL COMPREHENSIVE LIST? grin

My friend, 'maybe' you'll eventually be 'right' on your suspicion but that PDF document doesn't support your claims here.

see the paragraph preceding that list you posted

During the year immediately following independence, the W. A. E. C. undertook a gradual revision of the School Certificate Syllabuses, especially in History, Mathematics, French, English Language and Literature (now Literature in English), Physics, Chemistry and Biology (W. A. J. E.VII/2 1964). It also increased the number of its examinable subjects. Secondary Schools in the country accordingly revised their own curricula. This gradually led to a swing of candidates from the traditional subjects to the new ones, and also to such science subjects as Physics, Chemistry and Biology, presumably because there are now better qualified teachers of this subject and better equipment for teaching them. Table 3 shows the direction of enrolment of Nigerian candidates in [size=18pt]13 selected subjects,[/size] for 1961 and 1974.

they focused on only 13 selected subjects for the purpose of their research. It didn't mean Nigerian students only offered those 13 subjects at WAEC level then.

Like i said earlier, you might be right eventually but this paper doesn't support your insinuations at all

The term selected is because not all candidates participated for every subject other than English which is compulsory.

Look at the break down for English and you will see that the total percentage of students that sat for English was 100%.

Would the records take a selective view for some subjects but still include English which recorded 100%?

I believe the term "selected"here states candidate choice.

OP You are a clueless human being. How can you base your judgement based on a project? Do you know the meaning of "Sampling" when doing a project? Do you think that an investigator will include irrelevant materials? Common sense should tell you that "IF" Yoruba is offered, Igbo and Hausa too would. How can WAEC offer only 13 Subjects? Why not write Waec? You are not smart at all. Pls stop tagging me in such foolish thread...

Do you think Agricultural science wasn't a subject until after 1975?

What about Government? Fine arts? technical drawing? You think these were not WAEC subjects until after 1975?

The particular paragraph preceding the list which i quoted was concerned with the most popular subjects among Nigerian students hence the percentage enrollment. The authors knew what they wished to achieve and the 13 subjects they listed sufficed for that purpose

Do you sit for all 13 subjects?

A candidate is meant to select a list of courses to sit for with English being compulsory.

Do I need to spell it out for you dunces?

Did you sit for every subject WAEC had on offer? Where you not expected to select a choice of subjects?

Selected here is descriptive and that is why the percentile distribution for each subject varies other than English which recorded 100% sitting.

I see civility settling in, that means you are seeing the truth.

When you wrote your WAEC did you sit for all the subjects? Or did you Select a choice of relevant subjects?

You have no argument.

Buhari has dug his own grave with this.

In a few days, I can guarantee you more revelations will emerge tht will make him a ridicule and a national embarrassment.

Don't insult the person. Write officially to WAEC requesting the said information and when you come back here, you'll have a genuine argument. This excerpts you're culling out from a recently written article citing information from 1960 is really laughable.

I will disagree with u
Selected as used in the journal has diff meaning

1 is how u used it,the number of subjects available/vyed for is another meaning

This journal is about the trend of education as far as 18th century before pulling this out if u go tru d journal no Nigerian language was mentioned before transition occurred

If no Nigerian language was mentioned before evolution into what happened in 1961

I don't see why such a well detailed journal should hide a new subject and include new ones

'13 SELECTED SUBJECTS' means the authors selected 13 subjects for the purpose of their paper and the paragraph preceding indicated they were more concerned with subjects that had more patronage. I want to hazard a guess that Yoruba had more patronage than Igbo and Hausa then hence it's listing.

Also, there were 31 subjects listed for 1925-1950. Are you saying WAEC reduced it's subjects on offer to 13 by 1961?

Like i asked earlier, do you think fine arts wasn't a subject then? what about technical drawing? Agric science? additional mathematics? if they were, why were they not included?
