The stupidity of the people in our legislative cannot be quantified. And other countries have 20yrs old who are already professors in core areas. Why have they not made age for marriage 18years. Why will the military and other government jobs place maximum age limits for jobs then? We just have idiots as leaders in Nigeria. 1 Like |

Ynix: That's a very very tiny minority of kids. Plus some of those kids eventually break down. One of my siblings went to secondary school with a girl who entered at the age of 8 years old. Naturally, the child was still a child....and she still repeated the year. Let kids develop slowly, not quick quick. 1 Like 1 Share |

Why not leave Universities to determine that age benchmark for entry instead of this time-wasting endeavour |

This country will always frustrate someone.... 18 in a country that is not working? I believe 16 is still fair. You get to secondary school at 10 and finish 16. But with 18, you might wait several years doing nothing and with this our employers that will request you have 10 years experience at the age of 24 before you can be shortlisted for a job, then we are on a long thing. |

What concerns them with that? Is that Nigeria's pressing issues at the moment? I'd like to know how they arrived at 18. JS 1 at 11 years SS 3 at 16 years Most write jamb at that point. Most fail and rewrite at 17. |

SUGARCyprian247: And replace it with what? Before there was JAMB, universities held their matric admission exams separate from each other. You know what that means in today's Nigeria if government brought that back (at least in the good old days before Jamb there was some meritocracy)..unrestricted nepotism, and too much power in the VC's hand to do and undo. JAMB is the least worse of several bad options. |

Re: Senate Proposes 18 As Age For UTME Candidates by kayuseful: 3:27pm On Jul 13, 2021 |
One point they raised is that age has a lot to do with learning.. But don't we have 16yo who are more intelligent than 20yo? Yet companies are not prevented from age limiting when recruiting When you consider ASUU strike, plus covid break, plus school shutdown due to fear of bandits, plus nysc delays you better start in time. Even if you have to set age limits, 18 is too much. Many children comfortably begin secondary school at 10. Plus 6yrs secondary, that's 16yrs at graduation. Many students are in this category. But, hey! Since the politicians don't even have their children schooling here, they don't care |

Finished Secondary at 14 , gained admission at 15 , I was done with school by 20, served at 21 and started working at 22. Most.entry level jobs now have age limit of 25yrs and below.. how would people survive. Yet young girls are married off at an age of 12yrs.. 1 Like |

Am not surprise at all, a country that don't value education at all. They can get married to a girl child at 12 but the same child has to wait till 18 before writing an exam. What a messy we found our self in this country. 2 Likes |

Yet another form of stupidity. There is no need for a minimum age. There is need for minimum performance. 110/400 getting admitted into Bayern University should be more concerning to them. |
