StOla:


It is your own misunderstanding to think that a low cut off automatically means no singular student from those states made decent scores in the common entrance exam. It only means not enough students scored high to fulfill the state quota, so the bar is dropped low and then lower to capture more students who can take up the state quota.

In no way has this method of dropping the bar in Zamfara prevented a boy from Anambra or a girl from Ogun to take up the slots that was already allocated to their respective states. No one has cheated Emeka or Folake.

Emeka is competing with Chinyere, Folake is competing with Segun, Umaru is competing with Aisha. Their respective states already have guaranteed quota in the unity school admissions.

That you will suggest putting a uniform cut off mark, already betrays your ignorance and refusal to learn about the purpose of unity schools.

You think these people even care so much about these things?

It is we Southerners that carry this unity school cut off on our heads, as if our states do not already have many state owned public schools and private schools that students already attend.

Those Northern states also have many public primary and secondary schools owned by the state, so whatever the academic problems that continue to haunt those states, has nothing to do with their continued cutoff mark into Unity Schools.

Their low cut off mark only help to inform that their level of education in that part of the country is abysmal. The cut off is a symptom not a cause.

You will need to see a shrink after engaging these people. Their logic is right upside down .. Even the affected people are really not happy nor comfortable about these things,but u see these their cousins? Them go defend infinitely undefendables


That's how they defended bughari all thru the 8yrs..even when northerners were not even comfortable with the man's litany of goofs,but these people defended every single one of it

But today before u say Bulaba..they will tell u bughari caused everything from war in Ukraine to earthquake in Taiwan

StOla:


And your solution is to do what exactly besides complaining about their quota in a unity school system that is based on diversity and not up to 5% of secondary schools in Nigeria?

StOla:


Zamfara should keep retaining their admissions quota in the unity school system. No unity school can promote a student that did not pass.

Or is there a quota for promotion from one class to another in the unity school system? Only admissions have quota, not promotion/progression within the system.

The low score is a function of educational backwardness that the state governments do not care to address enough.

What about their state public schools? Have you considered how terribly low the entry requirements and even promotion would be?

Even with all of these, those educationally poor states do not fulfill all their guaranteed slots in the unity school system, which then fall back to other students from other states.

StOla:


I will never support quota system in anything else except the Unity School system.

If you understand that the objective of the unity school is to always have a diverse mixture together and all enjoying subsidised education, then you will appreciate why it is a quota based system.

Otherwise, quota does not allow for the best.

Unity school is not for the best, it is for unity in diversity.

It just shows Yorubas are alert now more than ever..
I laighed when I saw Igbos clamouring for Military to take power from PBAT, a Yoruba man through coup.. like they expect over 80 million Yorubas including those in the diaspora to just sit down, fold their arms and do nothing. They feel they'll sit down comfortably in Lagos and other parts of Yorubaland and be doing their business while pretending as if all is well.

DeLaRue:
Nobody is unsettled here.

Just a few misguided fellows and ladies.

If anything, people feel sorry for the trouble their actions will get them into.

Nothing more than that.

The overwhelming majority of people all over the South want serious changes in how the machinery of the Nigerian state works. But, any call for separation has no traction at all in the SW.

Richtaiwo:

When you finally get your biafra, you can ignore any part that is disadvantaged in any form. But in Nigeria, the national resources can't be concentrated in the training of a singl section who claim they are not even Nigerians. Unity Schools are for the benefit of all Nigerians. If you don't like it, nobody is forcing you.

Richtaiwo:

But some people who claim they are not Nigerians will rather prefer all the slots be allocated to them to the detriment of educationally disadvantaged Nigerian states. Nigeria really dodged a big missile.

The same quota system they apply to federal jobs and then sometimes make the ones who scored low in charge of those who scored high.

Then you wonder why the country is the way it is...

The quota system has proven not to be effective, because it only makes some states lazy to believe that whether they improve or not is not a problem, because their slot is always there...

What encouragement would be the basis for Zamfara that only needs 2 to gain admission?

If the quota system is always there, if they know they will not gain admission if they don't score 139 like Anambra, do you think the state government will sit down docile each year?

You now see part of the reason why the north is lagging behind in a education and so many other human development index indices...

The truth is they are relaxed that their slot is always there in almost every aspect of governance, from presidency down to primary schools....

StOla:
Straight answer is quota.

Every state has a quota, so whatever it takes to fill that quota versus the scores of the students from that state, is what you see as cut off mark.

No state has cheated another state. All have only fulfilled their respective quotas to benefit from the subsidised education that the federal government is providing to aid their unity objective of those Unity Schools.

It is not by force to attend a unity school which does not even constitute 5% of all the secondary schools in Nigeria.

Unity School system is a post civil war programme of the federal government to engender harmony and unity in Nigerian children.

I did not attend a unity secondary school and I made it in life.

That I did not enjoy the subsidised secondary education provided by Unity Schools, does not mean I did not enjoy the heavily subsidised public tertiary education that Nigeria provided that landed me a job in a multinational firm.

For that, I am grateful and free of student loans my foreign counterparts are paying.

badoh:
The lawlessness in the Nigerian justice and legal and social system is mind-blowing. How could citizens be bold enough to loot public funds and the justice system will be so weak to try and find them guilty. You can't try this rubbish in the advanced countries whose legal system is very strong like UK. Corruption is everywhere but that of Nigeria is beyond human comprehension.

Obakoolex:


And don't you think Tinubu being the president is the best thing that happened to your lazy ass
At least you work harder and make more money.

seunmsg:
lol. Illiterates everywhere. The ways and means Buhari did is a loan repayable by FG with interest. If FG is not servicing the interest, the loan keeps increasing whether new loan was taken or not. The increment in the last 6 months is the accumulated interest and not a new loan

Lifestone:
But Wale Edun told us they have not borrowed from the CBN since the inception of this Administration.
Our leaders are not sincere.

No bi today Peter Obi be President for Social media. . Let's be honest. Outside the Cyberspace does Peter Obi have any significance?!
People don't discuss him in the public domain outside the Cyberspace. THAT'S THE TRUTH. Everything na online.

GoodLife4live:
Oga don't derail the topic ...focus on what Reno said is it true or false ?

Another challenge for obi sue him if he sure for obi

Reflect7:


BUT HE IS SERVING THE PUBLIC BY REVEALING THIS STUFF ABOUT OBI.

I FOR ONE NEVER KNEW THAT ANAMBRA WAS THE CENTRE FOR EXAM FRAUD.

Khyrvxjzy:
straight to the answer

bmaster2000:
All the haters of Yoruba people will folk this thread and be typing gibberish.

They hate anything related to Tinubu and Yoruba people...I just cut ties with some of them....they pretend as if they like you but they hate you with passion because you are from Yoruba tribe

LegendHero:


I don’t think there will be any in the nearest future.

All the other Yoruba leaders currently don’t have the strong will and foresight of Tinubu. How many Yoruba leaders can we even point to currently and say “This guy built many men”?

Check all the current and past governors we have in Yorubaland, do those one look like anyone that can command respect that transcends states let alone have a base in the Northern part to officially wield the Jagaban magic.

chopnaira:

Wrong. It's a title bestowed on President Tinubu by the Bariba people of Borgu. Hence, The Jagaban of Borgu (meaning The Chief Warrior of Borgu).

The title was conferred on President Tinubu in February 2006 by the late Alhaji Haliru Dantoro who was Emir of Borgu in New Bussa from 2002 to 2015.

Below is a recent picture of the current Emir of Borgu and Emir of Kontangora with the president at the Villa.

PHIPEX:
Someone will wake up 20years from now to tell us FG did not develop Abuja butnonly the tiny 3 arm zone
What exactly is wrong with you people and propaganda? Name the entire bridges in Lagos and mention anyone that was not built by the Federal govt excluding Ajah, Agege and Cele bridge??from the 2 Airports, to the entire expressways to the Seaports, oil facilities around Apapa, Federal infrastructure all over the state. Were you trained to revise history at home?
