Kagarko:
I don't think it's true.

Because candidates perform poorly in 2017 JAMB.

XketchDesigns:
i dono how you guys are looking at people from the north o.. the funny thing is that most of you that are looking at northerners in a condecending manner probably had 182 in your jamb result o.
it only shows how ignorant you are to title threads and go as far as thinking in this manner.



there are loads of good as well as bad students both from the north and south and every part of nigeria. the northerners are probably shy of the social media and dont make alot of noise about their accomplishment dont mean say you look down on them.

Maybe 1 out of 10 is sound academically

XketchDesigns:


The word "academically" is subjective here. Do you know how to speak, read or write in arabic? i am going to take a wild guess and say NO.
safe to say that you are also not sound "academically"

those boys you see around carrying plates and beging for food, a huge amount of them have some portion if not the whole Quran memorized. To them thats academics. academics doesn't have to be a law degree or engineering degree.
A lot of multinational companies in Nigeria employ expats with no higher academics to be bosses of people with masters.

phemmyfour:
Arabic is a language like yoruba, igbo and hausa and its adopted in the North due to religious influence.

It doesn't make them sound in academics. I ve seen Mathematics solved in SW using Yoruba. Explaining some scientific principles in physics using pidgin in the East but you can't boast of the same about the North.

How does memorizing the whole Quran add to the GDP of the country....

XketchDesigns:


so a person with a PHD in Yoruba is not "academiclly" sound?



It has a moral influence which indirectly influences the GDP. However, the point i was trying to make there was that they are not illiterates as many people ignorantly assume them to be.

Mcowubaba:
I don tire for some Nairalanders sha..

Someone is saying that memorizing part of the Quran is equated to being Academically sound or educated

Some kind of comments you see here on Nairaland, makes you marvel.

How can you even compare a PhD in Yoruba language with a good knowledge of Quran , Quran ke

I'm no religious bigot, but let's call a spade a spade....
Having knowledge in Quran has absolutely no reasonable benefit on Nigerian economy
