KwaraRat:
The word "Yoruba" does not have any meaning in the language of the Olukumi People but traces it's origins from the mockery the Hausa/Fulani jihadist used in describing the once great race after they had sacked Oyo Ile (the capital of the old Oyo empire) and annexed Ilorin for the Sokoto Caliphate.

The word Yoruba is derived from the two words: Oyo and Oba and from the Hausa/Fulani dialect was pronounced "Oyoroba" and was a direct mockery of how they (Hausa Fulanis) captured Ilorin, killed Afonja and the Oba of old Oyo.

How the Olukumin peope will accept a known derogatory mockery as the name of their race baffles me.

Are you surprised? For someone who actually thinks 97% + 5% is equal to 100%.

There are some people you meet in a day and relate with as if you have known them for years so it doesn't mean. If he has come to apologize for the misyarn that it's all lie then let's believe it.

An English man said he runs to fight another day is a hero
He also said he that is alive to tell a tale deserves respect
He also said that a soldier who is alive at the end of a war is a brave soldier

But he said that anyone who took his life inorder to avoid a self afflicted humiliation is a coward
Suicide are for cowards
Bible condemns it
Koran condemns it
Even paganism condemns it

Suicide is an act of stupidity

Talkmore of when you took a life you can't create via rat poison

Iscoflexxman:
The truth about Awolowo's death, how and why he committed suicide [A] Obafemi Awolowo contested in 1983 for presidency but failed. He later died in 1987. [B] Assuming Awolowo was unhealthy, that means he would have died in his 4th year as president. [C] However, Awolowo contested because he was not sick and not too old, health-wise - he was healthy. [D] In 1987, he was questioned by IBB after evidence came out that he plotted to overthrow his government. [E] IBB gave Awolowo 3 options as punishment for the plot: Death by firing squad, Life imprisonment, or go on exile. [F] The Awolow family and friends pleaded for forgiveness to IBB,but he remained resolute and the please went on deaf ears. [F] Awolowo was later found dead in a room from an overdose in medications.

Shebi today he wants to raise 2billion dollars. When Gej was raising his during the last presidential elections his media were talking trash up and down. Ntoor

ItzChinnex:
You need school in your life, not these rubbish childish display you're exhibing here trying to should obnoxious. With all these grammatical blunders, I believe you're a product of Awo's free education.

Love how the Yoruba media was silent on Buhari's calamitous administration and Government, until SDP was formed.
Now shots are being fired left, right and center.
Yet they wonder why people call them treacherous snakes.

NafeesaAA:
Why is it that only Igbos wail about the inequal cut off mark for admission into Unity Schools? Are they the only tribe in Nigeria. Is it by force to send your Children to Unity Schools?

There are only 104 federal unity schools in Nigeria.

Meanwhile there are tens of thousands of secondary schools in Nigeria - State and public owned, why not send your highly intelligent kids there. Better still why not lobby your governors to set up dis-unity schools in your region, and set up whatever criteria you like for admission.

joudini:
This clown drawing parallels with FIFA world cup doesn't realise that despite representatives from all continents, merit is maintained and that is why you have UEFA having 13 countries outside the host and you have CONCACAF with 3 direct slots.

This clown...hahahahahaha.

Obi1kenobi:
If you have no other argument other than drawing parallels between a serious, consequential national issue of policy and football, stop wasting my time.

Chukazu:
I don't understand your reasoning .

Panama belongs to A FIFA FEDERATION(CONCACAF) that has only 3 and representation in World cup and you compare them to ITALY that belongs to a FEDERATION (UEFA) THAT HAS about a whopping 16 and you still asking why PANAMA got a slot


ARSENAL belongs to a country (England) that has 4 champions league slot and BASIKTAS belongs to Turkey that has 2 champions league slot you still asking why they are allowed to be in the competition?

Count you see a question of competition driven Arsenal and Italy out and and merit keeping Panama and BASIKTAS? Is that too difficult?

Obi1kenobi:
They named them "Unity schools" as Northern propaganda. I grew up simply knowing them as Federal Schools. Nobody claimed it undermines the educational standard of others. Unity schools give quality education at an affordable price, which is why many people from across the country want to send their kids there. When someone from Anambra or Imo or Ogun who scores 65% is unable to get admission in such a school, the parents might resort to either very expensive private schools they can barely afford or affordable, but substandard private schools. That is the effect.

Again, your World Cup analogy is just silly. World Cup qualifications are regional based to make the qualifiers manageable in number of matches played and geographical travel. Else, over 200 countries will be playing each other home and away. It has nothing to do with a "quota system".

Chukazu:
You were the one that brought the issue of quota by UEFA .
Like I mentioned earlier, there are a whole lot of things we can do to increase school enrollment in the North, not quota system.

1.We need to address unsustainable population explosion( our birth rate must be in tandem with available resources and projected growth.)

2. religious beliefs as a barrier to Western Education has to be addressed.(you know the meaning of Boko Haram)

3. The Sense of entitlement of using politics to control resources and rule the rest of the country has to be checked.-- Northerners will do anything to manipulate election figures and census figures to their advantage but do little to invest in Education.

I remember a particular year that an Emir in the North told parents not to allow their wards to be immunized against Polio , his reason been that "the West wanted to reduce the population of the North"
That is how daft our leaders can be

Obi1kenobi:
That's a pretty silly analogy. To bring back professionalism, competence, efficiency and any semblance of meritocracy and prestige to our Federal institutions, the majority of intakes must be subject to rigorous, fair selection criteria and then perhaps a small percentage (like 30%) may be devoted to assist the educationally disadvantaged areas (disadvantages that they brought on themselves). Constituents/indigenes of some states needing grades of between 60% to 70%, while some states can barely scratch 10% is an absurd mockery of the system.

Further making the system unwieldy and self-destructive is the fact that for decades, this quota system has yielded no results in bridging the significant education gap between the North and South. Disadvantaged states in the South like Ebonyi have made significant progress, but many of the core North states have made no evident progress after decades of quota systems and federal character. The gap remains as wide as ever, so what is the point? If they are not willing to go to school, it's not the end of the world. There are plenty of trades and professions requiring little education. Dangote is not exactly a professor.

0monnak0da:
He wants Northerners completely eliminated from the schools

Stingman:
Not true. If it were, why is that the northerners are everywhere in DSS, Police, Army, Airforce, Immigration, EFCC, Customs, NNPC, etc, etc...and also why is it only the northerners that head those organization? Why do they retire other people from other regions and allow only those from the north to get to the top positions? Of the 36 state police commissioners how many are from the eastern region for instance?

Is it not the reason why the easterners make it to the top, globally, but hardly in Nigeria...despite having better qualifications.

Remember we are talking of our country here, not any apartheid discriminatory country.

QuotaSystem:
That's what I've been saying, QS also applies to recruitment into those military and paramilitary agencies...but it's like talking to a brick wall.

joudini:
You should have ignored that clown. The filth is even using as an example a system that rewards merit by expanding the number of eligible participants.

That is why I do not reward these filths by responding to their mentions. They are illogical.

Stingman:
Violent death : 1,351 killed in 10 weeks:

North-East remains the killing field with 591 deaths.
It is followed by North-Central, 270;
North-West, 193;
South-West, 136; and
South-South, 131. At the bottom of the list is
South-East, 30.

Chukazu:
Quota system by EUAFA actually works in the opposite of the discuss.

The teams from countries that perform better in competitions are rewarded with extra slots.

For example ITALY had for the past four years ,3 clubs representing it in the Champions league, while the likes of England, Spain and Germany had four.

That is because Italian clubs were doing badly in the competition.
So their's is a reward system for extra motivation

Stingman:
You don't get it...

We are for justice.

There is nothing wrong in giving advantage to those who are behind...but we are saying that this principle should apply to all sectors..like giving the easterners opportuinity to meet the north in the military and paramilitary sectors as well.

Is this wrong?

Chukazu:
In that case it will be just to increase the slot allotted the states with the highest cut off.

There are better things we can do to increase overall access and interest for education...not the way FG is going about it

If some people don't want to go to school, you don't force it .

Firstpage:
Do you realize that quota system is practiced by uefa and FIFA?

why would Panama be in the world cup at the expense of Italy?

why would Besiktas be in the champions league at the expense of Arsenal?

answer: quota system.

You ibos should learn to live in peace with others and not put greed into everything.

mercyville:
Don't you think quota system is harming everyone taking into cognisance that some of these quota system products may eventually become leaders and it even makes the Northeners complacent. I think it is high time this system is revisited.If it were not for the killing spirit in the Hausa/Fulani,I really pity them too but they have really affected Nigeria negatively, if I must say.
