luvinhubby: 1, I grew up in a barracks with an Hausa friend called Bella, went to primary and secondary school together, was so close that we decided to attend same university, sat together for JAMB. Bella scored 205 while I got 233. Both of us did not meet the 245 cut-off mark but Bella was given admission for the course because he was from `educationally disadvantaged state` and i was offered a lesser course or try next year.
Why should I remain a part of that country?

Kenny4lyfe:

That there isn't fair my friend

noblezone:

Children from Anambra who scored 138 (69%) in Unity school entrance exams were not given admission, they must score 139 but those from Yobe who scared 2 (1%) were admitted.

That is one the things that make Nigeria "one". Such things confirm that we are the "giant" of Africa!

Afam4eva:
Chai...This is a sad commentary on how ugly Nigeria has degenerated. How can this even be explained?

The aboki up North'll wobble out an explanation somehow?

Oh gosh!
What's the essence of our continued existence;

»When everyone can't be treated as equals?

»Where opportunities can't be granted to you based on merit?
»Where due attention is only given to your plights if you're killing with guns and machete?

»Where political leadership is by genealogy?
»Where politicians and bureau chiefs are more immune to convictions than a phone thief?

Nonso23:
who is to blame for the ''educational disadvantage'' these states are wallowing in?
Every geopolitical zone in Nigeria was given a chance at getting their people educated throughout the colonial era. Why should the people who made good use of this chance be made to suffer instead of enjoy the fruits of their decision?
That certain sections have less educated individuals is not a reason strong enough to slow down the progress the more educated regions are making all in the name of ''nationality''.
I agree '' let every region be allowed to develop at their own pace''.

abbakacici: and your so called gods the uk and america are still using the same formula when giving admission or employment that a latino or black with lower sat marks will be admitted agiant white with higher marks

The question is, has it helped??
If our self-made gods from whom we copy this system haven't gotten it right even now, why should we thread on that same path??
I say we should define our own destiny in a way that'll work best for us! Shikenan! .

dmalam: i wrote jamb and got a score of 283 my igbo frnd got 271, he was offered medicine, i wsn't given any admission bcs i am not frm dt region (east)....................rubbish, its a nrmal practice to consider less educationally developed regions wen it comes to admission , it is practiced even in ur so called 'perfect'USA....

I AM FROM THE NORTH AND I AM FOR DIVISION

Rexyl:
