Andre Uweh: Beaf hardly attacks any one who critiques Delta state. He himself has on numerous occasions spoken about some ills of his state.
I hope people from Osun and sorroundings should learn grom him.

Qaslay: Bashar Assad, Syrian president, is also on the list. So i guess "important" can be both in the positive and negative senses.
Sure GEJ is one the "not-positvely" important person on the list.
Thats the only logical explanation for his inclusion.

sheyguy: Beaf, can u do us all a favour by presenting facts like Gbawe did when comparing Osun state to Akwa Ibom and stop using Okorocha u r ''probably'' not sure of to argue blindly. If possible give us population, land area, average monthly allocation and major projects since Alams time of Bayelsa state, and let's see how PDP is performing there.

Aregbesola is doing a sensible thing by constructing new and strategic roads as well as upgrading sub-standard ones built by PDP govt of oyinlola.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, Friday indicted eight states over alleged extortions and special centres just as it has withheld results of 52 centres thus affecting the timely release of results of 27, 266 candidates in those centres.

Registrar of the board, Prof Dibu Ojerinde at a press briefing held in Abuja Friday, told newsmen that the release of results of the 52 centres is subject to findings on ongoing investigations being carried out by the board which is expected to be concluded in a forth night.

Ojerinde said that of the eight states from which the 52 centres’ results were withheld, Rivers State top the list with 24 centres, followed by Lagos with 11 centres while Imo had state 6.

Others are Benue and Delta states with 3 centres each; Abia and Cross Rivers had 2 centres a piece while Nasarawa had only 1 centre results withheld.

The JAMB boss noted that of the total of 1,503,931 candidates that sat for the 2012 UTME exams, 833, 082 were males with 660,522 females thus representing 55.78 percent and 44.22 percent respectively.

181 prisoners

Of the total figure of over 1.5 million, 181 prisoners took part in the March 24, 2012 exams. The JAMB boss stated that the prisoners were from Kaduna and Ikoyi prisons in Lagos.

States with highest states/lowest candidates

Ojerinde noted that six states top the list of highest number of candidates with Imo leading by 123, 865 candidates; Delta, 88,876; Anambra, 84,204; Osun, 73, 935; Oyo, 71, 272 and Ogun with 71, 173.
Also, six states mostly northern, recorded the lowest number of candidates while all other states fell within the average.

The six states are Jigawa with 11, 529 candidates; Kebbi, 7, 364; Yobe, 6, 389; Zamfara, 5, 713; Sokoto, 5,664 and FCT with 3, 380 candidates.

Candidates’ most preferred universities

Also Registrar said that candidates have preference for some universities than the other, stating that 11 varsities stood out as the most preferred. They are University of Lagos with a total candidates of 83, 865; Nnamdi Azikiwe, Akwa had 82,148; UniBen, 80,048; UNN, 79, 398; Unilorin, 76,276; OAU, 64,702; ABU, 56,708; Uniport, 48,439; UniUyo, 44,397; Imo state University, 43,353 and UI, 40,011.

JAMB chief said, “Our experience this time is consistent with the previous trends- that Nigerians have a higher preference. For some universities ahead of other tertiary institutions”

“Unfortunately those universities still have constraints with 83,865 candidates recorded the highest applications of 99, 115 in 2011 UTME and from the carrying capacity figure given by National Universities Commission, NUC can admit only 9,507. Thes figure are only for most preferred choice and do not those who chose Unilag as their second choice”

Exam malpractices

Ojerinde said that the board was still battling with exam malpractices as candidates have device other means to out smart examination boards including JAMB with supposed answers in gsm phone and fake calculators..
“We also Know that those engaging in examination malpractices will not stop at nothing in achieving their aims in this 2012 edition, we have made some discoveries and new tricks on display by these crooks”
Some candidates smuggled gsm phones to the hall while two had specialised slippers on with phones containing answers were buried inside the slippers save for metal detectors that uncovered their dastard arts.

Incomplete/invalid results

901 candidates scored above 270 – 299; 71,339 made 250 – 269; 601, 151 scored 200 – 249; 374, 920 scored 170 – 199 while 336, 330 scored below 170.

However, the board recorded a significant reduction in the number of invalid and incomplete results of 5,161 this year compared to 2011 figure of 28,069 which was also far below 2010 figure of 96,451 invalid results which might be cancelled at the end of the day.

LaughterNoon: I dont blame Ciroma, El-rufai nor other holier than thou cows who open his or her mouth to spit poo becos the geo-graphical expression called Nigeria gave them the liberty to hide their own shame and criticize another of their type, GEJ no doubt has make some blunders while discharging his duties as the President of the republic but my question is who among the formal President has covered himself in glory without serious blunders, just like some racist Americans who sees Obama as the genesis of US problems and are fighting (through the media) to exonerate Mr Bush who is the chief architect of their problem as if to say Bush never ruled America before Obama.

My blame rather goes to the political thieves of the SE/SW/SS and the MB which has for so long sold their being and to a larger extend that of their people to the Political wolves of the northern Nigeria which in turn gave them the impetus to think that the whole nation cant move unless they are in the drivers seat or the nation will know no peace if anyone dare relegate them to the background, this sense of born to rule or the self styled king maker has eaten deep into them thanks to the political pr0$tituti0n of the SE/SW/SS and identity crises prone Middle belt region.

To salvage Nigeria from the grip of the few northern oligarchy is as simply as ABCD but the question is can the other regions set aside their $tupi-dity, ego and quest for cramps that falls from the "masters" table and form a formidable force to confront a common enemy that has sworn that Nigeria will remain in gear one till thy kingdom come.

Gbawe: A d.u.n.c.e and a Cow rolled together. Not a good combination. Akpabio: 5 years in charge with monthly allocation of 18 billion (13 billion from 13% derivation) an estimated population of 4.8 million and total area of 7,081 square km.

Meanwhile Aregbesola : 16 months in power with monthly allocation of 4 billion an estimated population of 4.1 million and total area 9,251 square km.

Even the dullest rebrobate should appreciate the statistics to note that Akpabio has far more money to play with to the extent we can expect similar to what he has achieved over 5 years. Aregbesola on the others, considering the decay on ground and poor fiscal condition of Osun , has to plan meticulously, be inventive and extremely frugal. Aregbesola recieves around 1/6 of what Akpabio gets and his State has similar population to Akwa Ibom with a bigger land mass to manage yet he is is expected to achieve what Akpabio has in 16 months? Idiocy of the highest order.

The better comparision would be to look at the State of your hero GEJ that gets approx 12 billion monthly with an estimated population of 2 million and a total area of 10,733 square km yet nothing on ground to justify such a comparatively large federal allocation. You are too dishonest to see that the likes of Bayelsa deserve far more scrutiny than a State where the Governor is actually doing well trying to juggle scarce resource and the huge debt left by the PDP. You are not too smart but hopefully you should now appreciate the statistics enough to desist from childish and senseless spamming that only expose you as a dul.l.a.r.d.

You people have a way of convincing yourselves with stup!d talk. How many have even been to Bayelsa? How can anyone in their right mind compare Aregbesola's Osun to bayelsa?

“I am, however, very disturbed by his political antics as far as my state, Ondo, is concerned. By my reading, Rauf is the arrow head of the ACN onslaught on Governor Mimiko of Ondo State. Consistently, with the latest being yesterday (Tuesday), he had been launching political assault on Mimiko, boasting that ACN would flush him out in next year’s election, because he believes that South-West states can only achieve regional and developmental integration only under one political party, to wit, ACN.

“Apart from the fact that I find this position quite preposterous, I take serious objection to his consistent irreverent attack on a fellow governor of same Yoruba stock just because you belong to a different political party. That is the bane of the supposed enlightened Yoruba politicians who believe that things must be seen only from their narrow and jaundiced prism.

“If you look at the configuration of the political setting in the South-East, there are two APGA governors but the majority PDP governors don’t insult Okorocha and Obi just because they belong to different parties. The South-East governors meet regularly on issues concerning their Ndigbo interests, irrespective of their political parties. South-South governors, when they meet on the interests of Niger Delta, don’t discriminate against Adams Oshiomhole just because he is in ACN.

“The Northern Governors Forum, dominated by PDP, don’t discriminate or attack the ANPP and CPC governors in their region. It is only in South-West that this nonsense takes place and we have to confront this shenanigan. With its phalanx of political foot soldiers, ACN could have used these people instead of a sitting governor, who ought to face his own state, rather his main interest and priority is to unseat Mimiko.

“In any case, who gave Rauf to be speaking on behalf of us Yoruba and to determine our political destiny? I don’t mind if Dr Tunji Abayomi, Olu Agunloye, Boroffice and others who want to contest for Ondo State governorship under ACN are attacking Mimiko. That is understandable because they want his office. But, not a sitting governor of another state. Does it bother Rauf that ACN lost the House of Reps bye election last month in Oyo State?

afrodiva: I can't speak for Delta state. But at least rivers and bayelsa have been able to live for centuries with minimal internal strife and even when present was mostly
between the igbani ijaw groups who also sorted themselves out.the annags,efiksand ibibios
also have been able to live peaceable with minimal stress.

jedisco: The post is not full.

Well congrats to UNIZIK (2nd most preferred university) and the eastern states in general.

As for the north, their movement to abolish western education is really yielding results.

Abuja recorded the lowest number with 3,380 candidates, Sokoto placed next with 5, 664 candidates while 5,713 candidates sat from Zamfara

bashr8: your crying for delta, what will you say about lagos that should be the first position with its population and virtually everything including schools located there.

[size=22pt]Aregbesola best known for useless talking!
Where are the roads? Dry season wan finis o![/size]

Aregbesola waited for "dry season" to appoint commissioners.
He waited for "dry season" to start working and stop slapping people. Now we wanna see proof.
[size=16pt]WHERE are the roads?
These are from Akwa Ibom (no be maut ), WHERE are AregbeRASCALS roads? Or is he building them with his large mouth as usual?[/size]

Kayi: Core North has taught you politics and leadership and GEJ knows better than you know that [b]without north there will be no Nigeria.[/b]If I'm wrong tell me what get you stuck with (parasites) as you always prefer to refer to the north.May be you enjoy your self inflicted wahala

lonamy: Oloriburuku...Olosi... Apa... were

Gbawe: You are a totally shameless and disgraceful liar who should be banned permanently. Did I present the picture of that road as "as progress in Osun" as you claim here or did I supply it as an example of a rural road targeted for upgrading under the RAMP scheme? Nairalanders can judge for themselves. Surely it is obvious what you are.

[size=14pt]Make unu celebrate e! Aregbe has borrowed money to build roads for bicycles!!!
Come dance o! Ewedu and poundo full ground remain![/size]
