All this u are seeing is by number of magic centres. The top states have higher number of magic centres for malpractices. IMO states serves the whole eastern states while Lagos candidates where spreaded over 3 western states. Osun , Oyo and Ogun. Else how would one rationalised Lagos state not on list with population of close to 20 million people.

Just from this thread

West : 257,815 candidates

East : 179,121 candidates

North : 142,380 candidates

Middle-belt : 139,066 Candidates

South South : 81,108 Candidates

Wake up bro.

Western education in Nigeria is indeed western.

It is not about individual perfomances rather it is about the quest for post secondary education

MysteriousAnn:
Wait a sec! You mean to tell me that there are more jamb applicants in Kano than in Lagos? Shior.

Abagworo:
The good news here is that the North is rising. There is hope for a more educated North in the future and 2ndly Aregbesola is a success as far as education is concerned. Osun has never been in top 3 since its creation but now overtook Ondo, Delta and Anambra. It's definitely not a coincidence.

I will like to confirm this list though because I doubt how Benue, Kogi, Kano and Kaduna would top Ondo, Ekiti, Rivers, Enugu,Edo and Abia. This list.................

chiefolododo:
About 6 States form the YORUBA nation ; osun, Ogun, delta, kogi , Oyo and Imo

kernel504:


Hahahaha... That's illusionary figure of yours was just gotten by adding 2 Eastern states against 3 of the States Western, why not three?

Please check states with the highest performance over the past twelve years, you won't comment ever again.

NOTE: It must be from a reliable source not just one useless blog.

Until Imo State repents from its corrupt ways when it comes to getting admission into higher Institutions,
they will continue to produce the highest number of Jamb applicants..

This is my state where anything goes...
Even the Jamb new method of admission in order to curb corruption cannot work here..

To all these corrupt lecturers and administrators, from course reps to HOD's continue hampering the future of you sons and daughters.
Imbeciles..!

That's what you are seeing na.. or think cows also registered for Jamb?

Kayrich:
Dont worry lagos. You will head the list of numbers of examination centres for sure.
I dont blame you because nobody hailed from lagos.
And situations like this no one dares denies his/her state of origin

Freiden:


I cant see whats funny here. If there are 3 western states in the top 10 and only 1 eastern state....that should ring a bell in your ears unless you want to look away from the truth.....Everybody but you know when it comes to western education, you give it to the Afonjas.

I challenge you to prove that i am wrong!

Statsocial:
The list is not by State of Residency but by Origin and I'm sure indigenous Lagosians are not more than Kano indigenes. Also, I can bet that a large proportion of those Ogun, Oyo and Osun folks reside in Lagos, even some of those Imo and Anambra folks too. But their data would accrue to their respective states of Origin. If it was done by residency then Lagos would have nearly taken 1 million of the candidates.
I would have loved it if the data for state of residency was put side by side with this one. Then we can measure the educational trend of each state and commend their respective government, but of what use is data reflecting for instance 20,000 candidates for Borno if 90% of those candidates are residing in Abj or Lagos.

Imo is doing something good about education! I Love it!
