How big is that pot?

No beef, no chicken, no fish. You are asking how big the pot is.

tnerro1:
Why not make addmission to university uniform. Why will some from the north get 80 out of 400 get admitted while some from the south with 150 can’t get admitted.

The Minister Of Education is from the North where underaged marriage is allowed. What has he done about that? Sick people in Government. 16 cannot go to the University but can get married and have kids when they should be getting an education?

superjaks:
Don't make your people weep over you soon😡

It is your portion. It is you that your family will weep over soon. Sadist.

You should be at least 65 years old to become a Lecturer. So that your blokos go don tire. Our children will be able to learn in peace. Awon oloribu.

superjaks:
You better come make I teach you work before you give birth to unfortunate children ONKR

Go.and teach your children your tips on nipples which I can see on your profile. Dead brain. Na you go born unfortunate children. Eranko, omo gutter jati jati.

God punish anyone who says Nigeria will never get better. We will one day be the envy of the world. God bless Sanwo Olu and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

God punish all those looting Nigeria's funds and money

Donaldoni:
Allow Nigerians in
That's all

Deport him too

Gentlesoul2021:
Skills acquisition pending he or she will be 18...

What skills did the Minister Of Education' acquire? Skills acquisition is not mandatory and can be acquired in 3 months during their long holidays. Two years lounging is a disadvantage to the youth and can adversely affect them. Their brains are active. Let them be.

superjaks:
They're ready to acquire skills under the tutelage and guidance of their of boss

Now, say something else oloriburuku omo

Oloriburuku ni awon to bi e. Under the tutelagee of their boss my foot. Na mechanic go boss your pikin. Werey.

So sad.

superjaks:
Why are you pained? 😭

16 year old is not mentally ready for the rigor of a public university. I stand by my statement!

But they are mentally ready to work, drive and acquire tailoring and mechanic skills? Daft people have no sense. I am not surprised.

superjaks:
I support this gesture from FG

We need mature minds in the universities not babies

Imagine a lecturer shouted at a student and the next thing is the student starting crying 😂

More reason we're having weak men in the society now

What about the 32 year old student cultists?

You are supporting rubbish. So because one student cried all students should be set back by two years even intelligent ones?

So you can start Civil Service work and Skill Acquisition by 16 but not University Education? People are daft in this country. Very backward too.

integrity16:
Don't you think you are gradually turning to a cyber bully?

Just.checked The Minister Of Education's Profile. He finished school at 30 and he is still working at 70. No wonder.

integrity16:
Apparently, you lack home training and you are not ashamed to display it to the whole world to see. I hope you have not raised your children this way. May God have mercy on your embittered soul.

Failures like you don't irk me. You are the bitter soul and I am certain you did not even have the opportunity to attend a University and your children are academically backwards. So you are the bitter one and will remain bitter and set back for the rest of your miserable existence. You can start work by 16 but can't start University at 16. Dumbrats everywhere.

Hmmmn.

integrity16:
Don't you think you are gradually turning to a cyber bully?

Ask your father when you receive your set backs with your children too.

integrity16:
You are turning to a cyber bully oh!

Another daft statement from an ignoramus. Set back is your destiny.

MrBrownJay1:
but imagine the audacity.... so out of all the solutions to sort his child's OLODOISM, to cheat his way forward is the only solution he chose. coupled with teachers who want sex for grades then no wonder there are so many people out there (with diplomas) who are clueless about their own field.

Are you also not clueless?

integrity16:
It is my shallow thinking, not yours. When your child gets to 16, send s/he to the UK/Canada/USA for their secondary education and please stop pouring salival on my mention. I am not the one who came up with this policy, I only supported it which is within my right to do so.
:-
This policy has come to stay, at least for now until you are able to summon the courage to approach the ministry to reverse this. Please lay this matter to rest, don't quote me again.

This is a democracy not Military rule where dictatorship thrives. So nothing "comes to stay" automatically. JAMB is created by law and all amendments to the Act must be by law. You see why so many people in the helms of affairs are backward.? Lack of common knowledge. You are one of the dumb ones who just talk without thinking deep enough. Enough said I don't bandy words with nit-wits.

integrity16:
S/He should go and skill up. Digital skills are all over the place.

Digital skills don't have to take two years. I hope sincerely you will.also.be set back by two years or more. In all spheres. Your children included. I am certain you are one of the political demons tormenting this country.

MrBrownJay1:
with yeye mentality like that, then some people still wonder why Nigeria is not moving forward.

This is because they.only want old ogres in Universities. That is why.the father was able to show face in the first place.

integrity16:
The reason for this is stated in the report, please go back and read it. Stop calling this new policy senseless, I believe this policy decision was unanimous amongst stakeholders in the industry.

It is an opportunity for me to ensure my child get some form of informal education before she turned 18. Not everything is taught inside the four walls of the university. So for me, it is a welcome development.

If you are angry at the policy, log on to the website of the ministry of education, you should get the Minister's contacts there, write to him to reverse the policy.

Informal Education aka Skills Acquisition can be concluded in 3months or less. Two years is a lot of time to hold down anyone's progress or academic prowess. In civilized countries 16years is the norm. This is why Nigeria is backward because people with empty heads are often placed at the helm of affairs due to "long leg syndrome". How can a 16 year old be allowed to start driving, working and learning skills yet they are deemed to young for academic pursuit in a University? You must be very shallow to think at 16 your child is incapable of being in the University and at the same time acquire skills during her long holidays. Woe betide those who are trying to force this useless policy on our children. Woe betide them and their children if they ever started University before 18 or are overseas studying. Daft policies all the time. A 16 year old will cope hundred percent. They shouldn't turn them into idle miscreants and poke their mental health.

Mopolchi:
I don stop to recharge since this January

I hope everyone follows suit
Boycott loading.

Offpoint1:
Good one... Next is banning creches and kid should start schooling at minimum of age 3.

Their parents need to go to work and make money in order to take care of their needs. Talk like someone with a functional brain please.

thesicilian:
If they strictly enforce their law of minimum 6yrs entry into the primary schools and outlaw "double promotions", everything else will fall into place.

If you can start work and drive at 16, you are mature enough to enter Uni at 16. You don't need to waste TWO years of your life learning a skill. 3 months skills fetch people money. ASUU strikes already set them.back in University. They should put that into consideration too.

Let geniuses thrive and shine bright like it's done in civilized countries.

Government should focus more on developing the Education System to world Standard first. That should be their goal. A 16 year old will cope 100% in Uni and they know it
They should face other important issues.

Lounging around for two years instead of academic preoccupation can affect their mental health. We have enough mad people roaming around already.

Fake story. A figment of the OP's imagination.

GoWithGood:
The frustration is getting out of hand. Except mass death soon.

Garri which is the last resort for the least in the society is now unaffordable?

Tinubu do something.

2023Blessed:
Rubbish policy. Allow them to graduate young and add value to the system while their brains are still very active.

I graduated from the University at 18 and I have never regretted it for a day. It took me several years to get my first full-time job that I was truly satisfied with. So government ought to factor that also.

You want to waste their productive years in a country where employers will be asking for 4 years work experience at 22.

They didn't also put strikes by ASUU into consideration. 16year olds are allowed to drive, learn skills, so how does attending University at 16 affect anyone. Most of them even do better academically than the older ones in University at the end of the day. Wasting two years of their lives for absolutely no reason. Will Nigeria ever move towards the light and away from darkness. The norm is 16 years worldwide. Let geniuses thrive and shine. Don't dim their lights. Sadists.

integrity16:
Very Good

Until it affects your children. If you are allowed to drive at 16. Why should you be deemed too young to enter Uni at 16? Senseless.

Mercury12:
Hmmm good one.
I only fear desperate parents that would go extra mile to manipulate their child age 15,16,17 go turn 18 with with just another falsified birth certificate.
I doubt this new law would work.
Nigerians are experts in age falsification.

What makes it good? How is a 16 year old allowed to drive yet deemed not mature enough to be in Uni. Dumb policy. 16year olds are mature enough for University. The Ministry Of Education should focus more on improving the Education System in Nigeria to World Standard first. ASUU strikes already set these children backwards enough. 16years old is the age worldwide. The younger they are, the smarter they are. Let Nigeria have sense abeg.

Amfem:
If enacted and implemented... It's still the law givers' sons and daughters that would flaw it.

Private secondary schools and universities are mostly defaulters.

Let's wait for what the elders have to say on this.

I hope these "elders" are going to prove to us that they do not lack wisdom. 16 year olds cope well in Uni. I am a living example. If you are allowed to start driving at 16 then you are mature enough to be in University.

Setting millions of children backwards by 2 years is dumb, insensitive and inconsiderate. If you think a child should go learn a skill at 16, then he should cope well in University as well. 16 is the norm worldwide.

Nigeria should not prove to the world that she thinks backwards. We don't want our children roaming around for TWO whole years. It can affect their mental health.
