National Merit Cut-off Mark – 68
Now, could anyone tell me the meaning of "National Merit Cut-off Mark: 68"?
If a people do not want to go to school, na by force? Why ruin the viability of the Country with degenerating practices?

This is no imaginary victim mentality as u put it, it's calling out the authorities over education in Nigeria and demanding sanity and parity in their dealings. How do these disparities in marks help students to buckle up and compete with their peers? Why is there a distinction in marks between males and females in some states? What message do they drive by that?

It is the worst practice to keep this up! Even if it's supposedly to close educational gaps, why is the wide disparity on cut off marks still maintained? For the number of decades this has been practiced, does it mean that aim had not been achieved? What is being done about it?

So what if unity schools are no longer the best? Do they automatically belong to some more than others? Is this how to go about fixing the fallen standards?

There's a fix quota for each state.....
A child is suppose to compete with peers from his/her state.....
Failure to do so doesn't give her the moral obligation to blame the child of an aboki for her own inadequacy......
The aboki child also has to compete with her own peers from northern states to get in.......
Look here, we can argue from now till eternal, but the fact remains quota system is deeply entrenched in every system worldwide......
It's in the Olympics and world cup.....
No matter how good a nation is in a sport, there's a limited number of athlete/team it can present for that particular event......
It's in American educational system.....
Ever heard of affirmative action.....
Great black men like Ben Carson benefitted from it and it's still operational till today.....

Quota system and affirmative action both wrong. It's idiotic abd just implies certain minority or set of people to dumb to compete on level playing field without crutch. I would look at scores and discrimate based on school rank. If the standards are so low in certain part why consider them.
