This is ridiculous.
If she killed your brother or sister and tried to get off by paying a mere 100k, will you still be singing this song?

I am sure she is remorseful, as am I. . . . . but 5 years in a Nigerian jail is no justice. As a European citizen, she should request extradition to Europe.

You can read about her uncle and his heroic actions in Rivers State here:

Her family will always remain highly esteemed in Okrika and Rivers State.

How do we know how much blame to apportion to her sef, considering the state of Nigerian roads, traffic and highway violations, both by drivers and pedestrians?

debosky:
Ibime wey your own Bentley?

I dey come London for March o, and you MUST cruise me around in it!

In March, I shall be preparing to go to Gambia to see Mukina. I gasto spend this yahoo money before they clock on to me.

MrCrackles:
He deserves to rot in jail!!

My friend sharrap! No be the same work you dey do for London?

Why is RQ sulking?

Who is that black guy sitting behind Lamps. Has Baptista joined Chelsea?

RA is really involving himself these days. The future looks bright. I hope he will dip hands in his pockets small this summer.

They are throwing money down the drain. In the future, Nigeria will be too unstable for foreigners. It already is. They are better off putting their money into Gambia or Ghana. Militants sef would soon start travelling to Badagry to kidnap the foreigners.

Yeah my brother, I just glanced at it now. Imo girls really performed for una. However, I haven't checked the percentages yet to confirm.

Chei, my sister!

Why una dey celebrate? Ibinabo is well known to our family. The amount of charity she does in Okrika is amazing and she comes from a lovely and well respected family. Her uncle Dima Fiberesima was a guy who gave sight to hundreds of blind people in PH through free eye-clinics he used to hold in Civic Centre. He was also regarded as the most forthright politician in Rivers State, when he got Gov Adeleye impeached for trying to coerce him into bribery. One mistake, and they finish her off. Would the same happen to any other daughter of such a well respected family? Or is it because her family refuse to engage in corruption?

You crunched numbers, right? . . .and you want me to provide statistical report using the numbers, am I correct? Well, send them to me with the MOVING RANGE and limits.[/quote]You must be attention-deficit. What do I have to do with the original poster? I didn't even read the OP's post. Did I speak for the original poster? You have been concentrating on University Matriculation all this while and I am looking at test scores in individual subjects. Why? Because 2008 is the first year where JAMB has provided a subject-by-subject breakdown of test scores.

You said my analysis is fraudulent - so far, on this thread, I have only conducted a percentage ranking for States in Maths and English for 2008 - a percentage ranking which actually goes against the assertions of the original poster. You must have noticed that Kano came second when the percentage of A students in Maths were ranked and Lagos came third. You would also have noticed that Bayelsa had the second worst fail-rate in Maths. (but they still came eighth when the percentage of A students were ranked sha.  )

Does that support the original poster?

So all this while, you have been fighting against an imaginary enemy. Like I said, you must be attention-deficit. I am not interested in University Matriculation without first knowing the census figures for State population. Thats like saying more people graduated in China than in England. That kind of data is useless.

If you want the UME matriculation figures for 2002 - 2007, they are on the UME website which should be on the first page. You can conduct wharrrever analysis you like to dispute the OP's claim. I would like to see you actually produce something - and you determine your own moving range and limits, lets see what you can do.

BUT RIVERS STATE WHOOOPED YOUR ASS IN MATHS, ENGLISH, PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY AND BIOLOGY in 2008!

Can you dispute that?

Negro Nuts,

What is the fallacy in the charts? If the charts say 8% of Rivers students got A in Mathematics, what is false about that? All you are saying is the data is not robust enough to carry out some more indepth analysis, which is what I have been telling you since you stupidly started mentioning attribute control, process testing and percentiles.

The question I have asked and still ask is the same: why are you asking for infeasible analysis with the static data we have been given for 2008? You are asking for continuous processes for discrete data. That alone shows your practical deficiency.

The data we are given can still be analysed and block-data like this is used in analysis everyday. The question is - what can you do with it? Why should we know the attributes when we are simply comparing one state to another? We do not care about the reasons. Stop telling me about riots in Kano. That is not the question. There are riots everyday and gunshots in Naija-Delta. No matter what data you come up with, someone will always say it is not robust enough. What is there to dispute about percentage failure in Ogun State? Isn't that how Government presents data to us everyday? If you are given any kind of data, you are supposed to make some immediate sense of it, not talking bollocks on a public forum about something which can never be analysed and explained in layman terms to forumites. Like I said, we were provided with data for 2008. Do some analysis for 2008 and stop blabbing about moving ranges from 2002-2007! Also stop blabbing about percentiles when you have been given block-data!

Now, prove my figures are fraudulent or shut the phock up!

Nobody is drawing any conclusions from the data we provided, but if I say Rivers State had the higher percentages of A's in all the core subjects and you say it is fraudulent, I expect you to show me another state that topped Rivers State in this category or hold your peace!

If the data is not robust enough for you, I can upload a robust data set from my USB for you right now and we will all see if you can really do statistical analysis or you are just theorising like you always do.

I have told you - never assume that anything I do is the limit of my intelligence, even if I do 1+1 for you. I thought you would have learnt your lesson from the sonning you received on the Keynesian multipliers thread by now.

Idiot!

Negro Nuts,

I am done arguing.

No be today wey we start JAMB analysis. We have studied the figures from 2002 JAMB on previous threads and the trend is definitely in favour of the SS and SE.

We are tired of you talking around the subject like lawmakers.

In which way did I misrepresent the data?

I will give you the link again:

http://www.jambng.com/subject/MATHS.pdf

Disprove my percentages. I did not claim that my analysis was the only statistical measure, after all I only looked at failure rates and distinction rates, but it is by all means a statistic measure, and in no way is it fraudulent.

Not percentiles of one state against the other as I assumed you were talking about. . . . but percentiles ascribed to the performance of individuals within a state. . . . .OK, you have won back some respect. . . . but lets assume we wanted to assign percentiles to the performance of individuals within a state. . . .  don't you think that only an idiot would be asking for intra-state percentiles when we are given the data in blocks of 10 (eg no of students who scored between 50 and 60, 60 and 70 etc). Only an idiot would go around talking about percentiles when presented with data in that format. Any normal person will simply do what I have done and represent the data in Percentage ranking.

Intuitively, just by looking at the data, I can tell you Rivers State will outperform all other states even if you look at the percentiles? Why? because they have the lowest percentage of failures and the highest percentage of A's. It will take a voluminous data shift toward the lower end of the pass mark for any other state to eclipse Rivers State.




Again, This is the link JAMB provided for us:

http://www.jambng.com/subject/MATHS.pdf


There are many ways of analysing the data, not just by looking at the percentage A's and the percentage failures of each state as I have done. Show us one of the numerous ways of analysing the data.

Lets see if you are a man of your word or a punk.

Ibime:

Yeah, thats right, 36 states is too small a sample set to be talking about percentiles when we can just as easily represent the data in deciles or quartiles. Doofus!

When will you give up? Or do you like to argue for the sake of argument? You are doing nothing but entrenching my perception of your stupidity.

(1.) First, you came on talking about "attribute control" which is completely irrelevant to the data we have been presented with. I quickly silenced you on that.

(2.) So, you decided to change tack and started talking about process testing. Again, I showed you that process testing is for continuous data, not the static 2008 data we have been given. Again, I silenced you on that.

(3.) Next, you started asking me why I didn't use percentiles. After I shot that down in flames, you yourself turned 360 degrees to concede thus:

Bigger mumu,

the FG can take any land from State Government if it so wishes. Otherwise, Rivers State would be keeping all revenue from oil produced from its land.

Mumu, the FG already owns all lands in the South. Any amendment of the Land Act can only transfer some indigenous rights back to the Southern land owners.

In Science, if you say someone's analysis is fraudulent, you must prove why it is so by your own analysis.

You have not even done a single data analysis here - simple reason is you can't!

This is not an anlysis of passing grade or university entry barriers.

In half an hour, I can extrapolate all the data from all the subjects to excel and blow all your nonsense theories into the water. Rivers State is leading on all core subjects (Maths, English and the Sciences), both in percentages and in numbers. Although numbers are not a valid statistical tool for measuring performance, percentages are largely indisputable. If you ask me why Rivers is doing so well, I will point to our colonial history and the fact that English is our lingua franca, so we have no problems with comprehension; unlike other states where they speak their native language day in, day out.

31,500 Ogun indigenes took the test, yet only 745 scored above 70+ in Mathematics. 20,645 Rivers indigenes took the test and 1710 achieved 70+. In English, the no of 70+ students in the whole Yoruba nation does not equate to Rivers State alone.

SS and SE indigenes are winning places in UNILAG just as well. This your university theory should be long discredited by now, since our data only looks at test scores, not university acceptance statistics.


I shall say it again - South West need to get their act together! 

@ Topic,

There is a saying in Igbo land: "Igbo enwe eze" meaning "the Igbo have no King". Thats just the way it is. Make una lef am. Igbos were practising real democracy in the jungle way before this contraption called Naija. There is no need for an Igbo King, a council of elders will suffice as it has always done.

Sauron's assertion that democracy can never work in Naija because people like to hold on to power is correct.

For example, look at Kanu Nwankwo. The guy just refused to retire! So tay, he is now playing in midfield as he did against Jamaica. How can you go the WC with 42 year-old Kanu in the team? When are we gonna get rid of these power-hungry old men who keep bringing our country down?
