andrewbaba44:
Martinelli still get small flair compared to these ones

AirBere:
Madueke and Neto are the most predictable wingers since Antonio Valencia. At least Valencia won the EPL as a key player though.

Roland17:
It is why on this forum, I never hesitate to express my disappointment with Southern politicians and influencers.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]And that is the problem, not the purpose of Unity schools

The goal is not to carry any academically poor person because of Unity.

The schools are actually decent and competitive to study, so your opinion of admitting anybody is flawed.

There is Gusau Comprehensive High School, if 4 is your standard. There are still people in Zamfara that can make 150. [/color]

TemporaryHansel:
The southern and northern parts of this country have never been compatible. Not culturally, not ideologically, not even fundamentally.
What’s baffling is the deafening silence from southern politicians. With all the chaos, all the imbalance, they’re still clinging to a fantasy of unity that’s clearly past its expiration date.
This isn’t diplomacy, it’s betrayal. The country’s barely holding together with duct tape and denial, yet they won’t lift a finger to push for separation.
History will not be kind to their cowardice.

raumdeuter:
This is pedantic because the marking scheme of their time is different from now. In my time we had students who scored 570 etc. So should we compare to now when the marking scheme has been changed?

raumdeuter:
I guess that is where the Nigerian factor and corruption came into it

For my set, after The National common entrance, they never announced the interview ate till today. When we don already start JS1, Some people with Influential parents just went to Federal ministry and got their letters to Ikot-Ekpenne, Katsina, Jos or Okigwe

raumdeuter:
A lot of great Nigerians who finished from Unit schools will also tell you they had classmates who were not up to their own academic standards who didnt score s much as them in the common entrance but having these people in their class enriched their Unity school experiences

These Unity schools even have separate cutoff for females an Male from same state.because they want a balance. Ogun cutoff for Male might be 120 while female cutoff will be 110.

Same reason to encourage diversity in the school as much as possible. Otherwise why should Damola a boy from Ogun who scored 115 b denied admission and his twin sister Damilola who scored the same 115 be admitted?

Roland17:
This is where I was going next. Nigeria has expended Billions, if not Trillions since the establishment of the Universal Basic Education Commission. If despite the investment we are still expecting a score of 2, then maybe we need a detailed fishbone analysis on what is going on. We can't use Unity to excuse mediocrity that continues to cost the Nation's growth, not especially if we expect students from that school to continue with education.

monerozi5590:
This looks too basic to be arguing about. All you need do is to look at the intent. Look up for why was unity schools established in the first place and raumdeuter answered correctly.

raumdeuter:
Why do you think FIFA is still allowing Africa Asia and Oceania into FIFA competitions?

Going by your logic they should suspend those teams until their standard catches up

FG already has a school for academic excellence ONLY but we are going to poke nose in one that is First for Unity claiming some people in the country should not be qualified for this UNITY

raumdeuter:
Same reason why FIFA is allowing Oceania Africa and Asia into their competitions instead of addressing why their representatives dont do well at the tournaments

Roland17:
I mean, how did we get here? I bet you that score standard is well over 10 years without any improvement in academic expectations. I mean, I can entertain an argument about unique dynamics in the north but 2/4?

Even Gaza that has been bombed for over 3 decades with no stability can't set up such disgraceful score standard.

raumdeuter:
Those who checked the data of the historical results decided to peg the cutoff at 4 for Zamfara and used a different score for Kogi

Roland17:
Schools are established for the primary purpose of "EDUCATION"/ "SCHOOL". Irrespective if they are Unity schools or not, schools aim to impact educate and impact academic knowledge. There are several avenues and opportunities to promote National Unity without this shameful standard established for our secondary schools in the North.

Education is not entertainment like Football, WWE or any other sport, it is a critical factor for National Development. Education is an imperative factor used to measure and project the growth and development of the Nation. No one is debating matching scores across the country because of unique dynamics across the country.

However, a standard of 2 is quite shameful and speaks more of the rot in the system. Maybe we need to ask what is going on with primary schools there. How can we improve some of the controllable factors that can help in improving test outcomes and standards in the North.

raumdeuter:
That is because the school was created for Unity not for academic performance. There is a different school in Suleja created for excellent academic performance

Roland17:
Again, you are excusing the poorest of the poor standards in education for Nigerians. If there are inherent controllable factors then lets fix them. But setting up a standard of 2, irrespective of gender or type of school is absolute failure.

To a degree, this is essentially similar "Leave No Kid Behind" education policy here in the States (which I have serious problem with) and going by your historical conservative position, I am 10000% sure that you do not support it.

raumdeuter:
Which is why its important to know the reasons for creating Unity schools in the first place, So we don't mislead others

Roland17:
Where is the Unity in these cut off marks? Abi Unity don get another meaning?

We have states with single digits, heck lower single digits.

raumdeuter:
The purpose of Unity schools is to have a representation of all states in School whether the best students from the states can score 10 or 200 is immaterial

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I understand the law. I am only responding to what you said here.[/color]



[color=royalblue]Yes, people carry cash in excess of 5m around because it is a much better method for disbursing payment (for them) than transfer.[/color]

iamoyindamola:
https://x.com/lemekeosborn1/status/1923015745996218796?t=Jswi0_R8kKpyGbFCGWdy9A&s=19[/quote]Lolz . So the lady’s source is speed Darlington’s lawyer ? 😂

I’m sure speed darlington’s lawyer too will claim he heard it from a top EFCC official .

The truth is if it is not codified in the law, EFCC cannot arrest and prosecute u for doing more than N5m transfer in a day .

The lady just misinformed the public with that video

iamoyindamola:
If it's this one we know the law before , what I read is transaction of 5m in a day for personal account is money laundering
I am wondering how those in idumota will cope with this news

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I know the law exists. It is not new

I'm just answering your questions on why someone will move around with such cash

Yes, they do. People who work in construction sites in very interior regions almost have to deal on cash.

They don't even source it from Banks. Petrol stations, POS, etc, and they'll gather that much to pay who they have to pay.[/color]

izzou:
[color=royalblue] People still need such methods oh.[/color]

iamoyindamola:
Now you are twisting it
Shey nah cash or transfer btw who get the time to they carry cash around and how will efcc know you have such cash na

GloriousGbola:
with inflation , this law is moot imho

efcc cowboys are obtainers first and foremost so yes one needs to be wary.

Theflint1:
I think it's fake news, or an outdated law that hasn't been updated to reflect current economic realities.

iamoyindamola:
If you never sin before, cast the first stone
Imagine those kids at this age and they are already experiencing Nigeria in 8k under their parents guidance

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Okay

I thought they were writing today.[/color]

iamoyindamola:
Have also seen someone like this that's 16, i am using his face to judge
