No doubt certain people from the north get things on a platter, things way above them in terms of qualification but you can't tell me there are no first class graduates from the north!

You guys should stop this nonsense.

There are Northerners both on the eligibility list and the final list. They were just few cos it was based on MERIT. Even Bayeksa, President Jonathan own State, didn't have a single beneficiary in the final list cos no Bayelsan came tops in the 1st 109 candidates after the test. Simple!!

The north should go else where and cry over their backwardness in education, and leave this program alone

To say there are no norther first class is pure fallacy. Let us remove tribal sentiments,we all know its impossible. I graduated from ABU zaria,and I know how many northern first class students appeared on the convocation list. Expecially in the field of statistics,computer science,and other sciences. Let the ministry come out with the list of applicants to make the whole process more trnasparent.

If you have never been to the North before, ask those of your friends who have. Any student from the North who got second class can challenge any of you with first class. We dont give out degrees in the North through prostitution and cultism. Ask Jega.
The house leaders simply asked for transparency in the schorlarship scheme and you are tailking of federal character. Why are you people so boastfull of wrong doing?

I work in NUC and I can tell u that pressid is purely on merit.I have seen students from ABU who are of northern extraction that bagged the award but majority are southwest,southeast etc.the purpose of the scheme is to sort out the best brains and trained them in the best schools abroad who will in turn return back to Nigeria to impact their knowledge for the social economic progress of the country.mind u,its targeted for specific areas of discipline.if merrit. Were to be jettisoned in favour of quota system,then I can tell u that the aim of Pressid is already defeated.

In my post, I've not indicated that merit should be jettisoned neither have I said the PRESSID was involved in a shaddy deal.

What I've however said is that, the House is right in asking for clarifications to clear their suspicion that something was wrong. The documented evidence requested for by the House will vindicate PRESSID if they tender such.

Nigeria, promoting mediocrity since the days of Ahmadu Bello. I'd like to see all the 'non tribalistic' Southwesterners who voted Osibanjo not cos he's a Yoruba to stand up against mediocrity in this issue.
I'm yet to see where federal character doesn't play a role apart from when the Northerners and Southwesterners want to head all oil blocks and parastatals. It's always convenient then to look the other way, just like this issue when we shamelessly agitate openly for mediocrity based on federal character.
We're not really ready for change, was just a campaign slogan to push another out in my opinion.

The reason for this is to ecourage people who have interest only in Islamic education to buy into the western one. But those who are willing to study are truly bright. Know that it is only the core Northern states that have such nonchalance towards western education. The Ebiras, Nupes,Ighalas, Idomas,Kajes, Birom, Gwaris etc are all tribes in the North that do not play with book. Why not extend the hand of presidential schorlaship to all those other tribes?
these tribes you mentions are doing great in schools and they also struggle like any other person in Nigeria to get admition, however. Believe it or not; when people talk about backwardness of the north. These people you mentioned never comes to mind because they dont have the privileges some other people in the same north have.

Bros the truth is that i am always tribal or sectional when these kind of issues are raised. What happens in federal civil service cos of federal character & quota system is killing me.

Most Hausa/fulani people that heads us are nothing but...(wont say that here)

They laugh at us even, wondering why we should be working so hard for the promotion that most times doesnt come while they gain promotion doing little.

My dream for all in Nigeria is for us or our children to have equal oppotunity to compete without anything like federal character or quota system coming into play.

Federal character & quota system have killed motivation that drives personal (for n individual) & collective (as a country) growth.

Some states could not even qualify in the first place based on the first class criterion.


Even the Presidents state didn't qualify last year! I can't picture this happening under a Buhari; he may not be involved or may want the process to be above board, but his kinsfolk under him would almost certainly make sure the process is skewed one way or the other! The unwritten rule is that the muslim core north must always be included in anything!

Abegi shattap there, guy.

There are Northerners on the list. Just like they are few cos the selection is strictly based on MERIT. The North as it is constituted today cannot function if MERIT becomes the operating condition in Nigeria in stead of Nepotism and Federal character. That is just what this argument us all about. Nothing else. Buhari himself could NEVER had entered the Military and quickly become an official and then Head of State if the rule was not bent for him and his Hausa-Fulani mates.

Please type carefully and read before you click "Submit".

The academic abilities of Northerners is the actual bone of contention. That was what the Honorable hinged his argument on. That was what you were talking about in the previous post when you wrote "backwardness".

It is curious that the Prof used that line (about it being a first class graduates programme) in his defence.

The prof has so far failed to produce evidence of transparency (proper advertisement, details of the panel of judges/examiners, criteria for selection, etc). The House only needs him to explain how no Northern first class graduate made the top 100.

Yes; these are internal wrangling when it comes to the 'whole of the North'. So when other regions are talking about the North, they should understand that there are othe tribes like we have both agreed above. To generalise the whole thing is what i dont like. Jonathan tried to explore that 'wrangling' for political gains but he failed to understand that when it rain ice, every one is affected. Had it been he did it with pure heart, he would have succeeded. The 'other' tribes in the North feels more comfortable with the Hausa/Fulani than others because they(Hausa/Fulanis) dont eat with both hands- if you know what that means.

The slaves and Vultures from the South come here and defend your masters.
Both of you are the one keeping this country backward.


I have said severally it here but you seemed to have failed to understand that your fathers: Nnamdi Azikiwe, Alex Ekwueme, Ojukwu(his fate of coming back home was solely determined by your master) and Ewerem were all slaves to the same Northern Oligarchy for years.

You were born and raised in this slavery until Yorubas decided not to be in opposition again and slavery rhetorics started as soon as Yorubas formed alliance with Northerners. We are playing your game now but with better and excellent outcome.

The most painful aspect of your years of serving Northern Oligarchy as hopeless and worthless slaves was the fact that your brothers and sisters who lived in the land of your masters were brutally maimed and murdered as result of your stupid utterances, tribal, divisive actions and chest-beating attitude; it was a well deserved and welcomed payback moment though.

However, what did Yorubas get in return for being in opposition over the years? The answers are: Excellent education, excellent inter-tribal relationship, excellent integration of south western states, economy boom and peaceful environment which has attracted so many immigrants from the East to feast on our limited and allocated resources.

I have always advised your generation to pick up Nigeria history books to read so as to bail your sorry ass out of this predicament. I have advised you guys to pick up Nigeria history books and read with open and unbiased mind though, otherwise you ll still remain like your progenitors who had failed in all political engagements.

Yorubas are 100 yrs ahead of you and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.

Did you learn a lesson from last xenophobic attack in South Africa? No I presumed. Alright, I ll assist you with my observation during that fracas.

Nigerians are in South Africa in their thousands cos they find South Africa economy and environment much more better than Nigeria economy

But reverse is the case here in Nigeria. Do we have South Africans here in Nigeria? Yes but few executive personnel of multi international companies.

What does that tell you in logic? It tells you that South Africans are proud of their country and know that their country is far ahead of Nigeria in terms of social infrastructures, business viability and basic amenities.

The above analysis is example of Yoruba Nation and Your Nation; Yorubas see themselves ahead of you and that is why they don't come to your land and preferably travel to UK, US, Ireland and of course Canada while Yoruba land is your kinsmen dreamland.

But the north never copy in the exams my brother, if I may suggest here, why not subject all graduates from all regions to a test an select the best among them. The level of examination malpractice in the north is negligible compared to south, so making first class ( that cannot defended) in the south is common. Imagine a 50% of graduating students in private university graduated with first class! How is that possible. And when you meet most of them during service you will be like CHEI how comes?

What the House has requested the PRESSID to submit are in order. The requested evidence will go a long way in establishing whether fairness was employed in selecting the beneficiaries.

At least if you say no first class candidates from a certain part of the country applied, then present the list of applicants to verify your claim. As simple as ABC.
