shosilva: The most important part of the program is their coming back. The investment on them is to come back and use it for the development of Africa. The aim of YALI is to raise the next generation of African Leaders who will save us from the doldrums we currently are in. Not Africans who want to flee. These are young men who are already doing great things by themselves with little or no support. Google and read about them |

Ariani: See this guy pontificating in ignorance! I was part of a similar program by YALI. The government knows nothing about it. If it was about political, social and financial connections, almost all the people on that list wouldn't have been there. Stop saying what is beyond you as is you know. YALI is meritocratic and Yoruba has always been on the highside since inception in 2014 and even in the newly created YALI RLC WEST AFRICA! |

Ariani: Ariani, you are ignorant on this topic. Even a fool is thought wise when he kept quiet. YALI is so strict that they don't consult with even themselves. YALI Nigeria runs its own show independent of YALI Ghana. Many of us have been there. We've benefitted from the program and don't know where your Conspiracy Theory is springing from! |

Roseey0: Sister, everyone on that list schooled in Nigeria. The YALI/MWF is a very competitive program. Your friend lost out at the interview stage to fiercer applicants. Not because he attended a Nigerian University. The University in front of their names is where they will be trained for the 6-week stay in the US |

NeuroBoss:Oh it is the usual "If Ibos are not on top then there must be a conspiracy and typically truth is just an inconvenience so they manufacture their own version of truth shamelessly. Imagine all the nonsense he wrote up there about FG approving a list. The question is where did he get it A. Google B. CNN C. Radio Biafra D. Al Jazeera E . He just made it up on the spot. Yea E he just made it up and that is typical . Just tell lies that should make a 5 year old ashamed and do so with no remorse,no contrition. It is the same mindset that drives teachers to write Common Entrance Exams and so on for children at Miracle Centres. Well the Americans do not like miracles apparently and the chickens have come home to roost. The same mindset that tell us Onitsha market is the largest in the Milky Way and tthe US marines come there to buy boots while the US Navy buys drones, I am not joking . The mindset that said Orji UZor Kalu is so rich Banks in Nigeria including the CBN could not cope and begged him to take his Money to the World Bank which could only accept half while the other half went to the IMF for safe keeping. You hear this nonsense from an "adult" who says it without blinking and you wonder what is going on. Does he believe this BS? That is the funny thing. The moment he says it it becomes reality. 1 Like |

omonnakoda: Bother,dont you think it will be arrogant for you to call them your second in command or junior brother? How did you determine who is the first and who is not.This attitude of seeing the other tribe as second in command or junior brother did not and will not take Nigeria anywhere.There is no second in command or junior brother here. |

ariesbull: When the stats start coming in from miracle centres our brothers from the east have no rivals. They are experts in JAMB WAEC and common Entrance but what happened here https://www.nairaland.com/3092048/nigerians-selected-2016-mandela-washington/3 What happened in the Goodluck Jonathan scholarship scheme Why did your folk studiously avoid this illuminating thread https://www.nairaland.com/3092048/nigerians-selected-2016-mandela-washington/3 |

omonnakoda: What exactly are you talking about? |
Re: Nigerians Selected For 2016 Mandela Washington Fellowship by omonnakoda: 7:18pm On May 20, 2016 |
Ariani:Your absurd claim that people were selected by politicians in APC when it has been demonstrated it was on merit and competitive.Have you no shame? |
Re: Nigerians Selected For 2016 Mandela Washington Fellowship by Ariani: 7:25pm On May 20, 2016 |
omonnakoda: How many Igbos and how many Yorubas applied for this Mandela Washington stuff, maybe that's where to start from. Never knew of this Mandela ish, until I saw it here. On the other hand, Jamb, WAEC,NECO, Etc that Igbos top, are all encompassing, everyone takes them. On the PRESSID, Yorubas topped the first edition because of several factors, the main being that you have to score first class to qualify for PRESSID, with so many private universities scattered all over Yoruba land, dishing out first class like Akara, the most being covenant university, I can guess that Yorubas had more candidates sitting for that PRESSID than everyone else. In that case, the best way to measure their performance would have been to take averages. Nevertheless, the Igbos quickly closed the gap in the last PRESSID and toppped Yorubas. With the current proliferation of private universities all over Igboland, who would no doubt share first class certs to gather more customers, I had no doubt that the Igbo would have gone on to continue topping the list on consistent basis, if the scheme continued. The bottom line is that both PRESSID and this Mandela stuff are not all encompassing, to make any sense of the data, we would need to know how many Igbos and how many Yorubas applied for them. |
Re: Nigerians Selected For 2016 Mandela Washington Fellowship by omonnakoda: 7:31pm On May 20, 2016 |
Ariani:How come you did not know ? Eboes are the most widely travelled ,most knowledgeable Nigerians? Pressid went on for at least 4 years Is it then your argument that Eboes are not represented because they did not know about it? That's a what I call Ibonalysis omonnakoda: |
Re: Nigerians Selected For 2016 Mandela Washington Fellowship by Ariani: 7:51pm On May 20, 2016 |
omonnakoda: PRESSID was only open to first class graduates, private. Unis that share first class started proliferating recently in the East. With more private unis in SE, Igbos steadily got more candidates qualifying for the PRESSID and that started reflecting on the over all performance of Igbos in the scheme, as we saw in the last PRESSID list. Unless you provide the list of qualified first class graduates that applied for the first three editions of PRESSID and their ethnicities, as to take the average performance, you stats is at best useless. Same applies to the Mandela stuff, it's useless without the list of all Nigerian candidates that applied to take the average performance of each group. Below is an example of the law of averages I was talking about:https://www.nairaland.com/2613463/igbos-most-brilliant-black-african/1 Only 15 Igbos applied for that exam, whereas 90 yorubas did. If we are to take just the numbers, it would appear that Yorubas did better, but a take of the averages painted a picture of Igbo dominance once again. p://www.lambeth.gov.uk/rsu/sites/lambeth.gov.uk.rsu/files/Raising_the_Achievement_of_Black_African_Pupils-Good_Practice_in_Schools_2013.pdf |
Re: Nigerians Selected For 2016 Mandela Washington Fellowship by omonnakoda: 7:55pm On May 20, 2016 |
Ariani:Ibonalysis. According to your logic Yoruba do not do well in JAMB because they apply more to private universities? Where is the list of people that apply for Common Entrance. Ibologic is understood only by Ibos |
Re: Nigerians Selected For 2016 Mandela Washington Fellowship by Ariani: 8:10pm On May 20, 2016 |
omonnakoda: Cut off marks for unity school entrance are done using law of averages. The average performance of each state determines its cut off marks. States with high percentage of high performers have high cut off marks and vice versa, this is not a rocket science, average performance is gotten by taking the average scores. My logic is that since the organizers didn't tell us the average performance of each Nigerian region, we can only get that by seeing the total number of Yorubas that applied and their average performance. Without that info, there is really nothing we can make out of this your thread. |

Ariani:Very Ibo kind of logic,intelligible to.................Ibos |

Eboes are silent or silenced? |
