ishmael y are u particular about state univerities in the east are u saying they are not good. see guy the federal universities have lost their glory they only carry names and a lot of students who do runs to get 2.1 or first class, even 2.2 in quote are more in the federal universities. ther are some few state universities that produce better graduates than the so called high class, over hyped federal universities.though we have a lot of mushroom state universsities so also we have a lot of lost gloried federal universities. so do not just condem state universities alone. capishe.
hope u did not do runs for your certificate. grin

Kano state is touted as having 9.4million citizens and yet only had 10,807 applicants for the 2006/07 UME examination, Ogun with a population of 4.05million had 41,377 applicants alone! more than 4 times the number from Kano which purportedly is 2ce the size of Ogun in terms of population!
Don't use that to make conclusions or else your conclusions will be wrong. Try and find out how many kano state indigenes are there in Unilag, UI and IFE and also try to find out how many Lagos state indigenes or Oyo state or even Ogun state indigenes are there in BUK or ABU Zaria, you will see d difference. Most people from the north need not write JAMB before gaining admission into universities; JAMB is for southerners my brother. Don't be suprised that 90% of those who put in for JAMB in Kano state were southerners who live in kano.

You obviously don't know what you are talknig about.
Is it the same UNILAG that records not less than 70 first class every academic year?
(as though its that easy to make a first class)
Or is it the UI that recorded 4 first class graduates( & the rest of the class 2.1) from Computer Science debt at one sitting? (a friend was one of them).

How about UNN where every body graduates with a 2.1 (try to make a survey).
@ Ishmael
Dont just go to that angle because you are in no position to castigate.
A friend's friend graduated from UNILAG with a first class in Bus Admin. She is a high class runz girl who never attended lectures or wrote exams. She paid for all her A's and very few B's.She is presently in d highest paying oil company. She did not write any apt test. The rest has become history.

So don't start a topic you are not well grounded in.
That means anybody can make a 1st class against what someone posted earlier that you cannot bribe your way to get a 1st class.

So mean you have never seen people with 1st class Degrees and they still can't major up with some people with 2.1 and even 2.2 sef?? I'm laughing grin cheesy grin cheesy Dem plenty for Nigeria my brother. Some 2.1 and 2.2 graduates from UI, UNILAG, IFE, ABU and UNN are better than many first class graduates from Abia state uni, Imo state uni, Ebonyi state uni etc. if you want me to name them. I see them everyday.
EducationRe: Diff And Relationship Between Mathematics And Statistics by ishmael(m): 7:44am On Jan 12, 2007
Statistics is a branch of applied mathematics and must always go together with mathematics. Mathematical methods are used to solve statistical problems and to develop new methods/techniques of solving statistical problems. Statistics cannot be on its own but must always stand with mathematics. Without mathematics statistics will never be, because mathematics is its foundation. The difference between statistics and mathematics is not too significant because most Mathematicians to some extent can act or work as Statisticians and most Statisticians to some extent too can work or act as Mathematicians. Statistics deals mainly with sampling and probability theories which of course involves the use of mathematical methods.

I'm not really suprised lagos and kano have similar figures

It's very obvious in the case of lagos because it is small and very congested especially on the main island But not too obvious in kano because its quiet big and they have many villages especially on the way to/from zaria and other states around it.
Please help me tell them o!! i was almost crucified for saying that it was possible for kano to have the highest figure in the 2006 census; funny enough the difference between Kano and Lagos is not very significant.

Hey don't get me wrong ladies are wondaful people, but Bro Paul, led by the Holy Spirit made him instruct the church not to allow women preach.Reason:women are easily led astray by the devil. Simple. I love u ladies in the house. God bless u all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMEN
Yes, you are correct. That was exactly why God said they should keep their mouths closed in churches, because he does nt want them to lead some men astray again.

In addition i ask how many of the elites send their kids on the "almariji"
The poor and uneducated masses in the north have been brain-washed, that is why they believe anything the mallams and the politicians tell them. All still boils down to poverty; how do you see it?? That is why it is only the children of the poor and uneducated that go to almajiri school to learn how to read the koran, while the children of the rich stay in their houses and a hired koranic teacher comes to teach dem in the house when they come back from school (school = western education).

what happened is that the north really prepared for the census.They know that the southern states are lukewarm about the census.We have to realise that the north are good planners,when state governors in the south weren't serious at all,the northern governors were making arrangements so that everybody was counted,they left nothing to chance at all.
You have said it all. Now that we have the figures whatz going to happen?? Are they going to use it to put food on our tables?? Are they going to use it to create jobs for nigerians?? Are they going to use it to repair East-west road?? are they going to use it to dualize Abuja - Lokoja road?? What of drugs in our general hospitals, are they going to use the figures to make drugs available to the masses??

have you ever lived in kano b4?? The average southern belives that the north is a desert and so kano state is a desert. Sorry go to kano state and see for yourselves.

why should it surprise people that kano state has more people than lagos state?? Is kano state not 2 times bigger than lagos state in size?? Is kano not a very big commercial city?? Kano has been a centre of commerce even before lagos was discovered. I'm not surprised that kano state has more people than lagos state. Lagos is small but highly populated, but that does not mean that kano cannot be bigger than it in terms of population. Make una no count ogun state join lagos o, because some people dey live for ogun state and dem dey think say na lagos state dem dey. But come to think of it, will the census figures change our corrupt country into good??

why are you so concerned about infant mortality?? Please try and look for the meaning of mortality rate before you make any post again.
PoliticsRe: Kano State Has The Highest Population In Nigeria? by ishmael(m): 11:10am On Jan 10, 2007
buluti:
@ ismael

Please "unnatural causes"" you are talking to an educated person. Infant mortality rate is highest where in Lagos? and life expectancy in Lagos. If you are talking of civil unrest and accidents theres a fair share everywhere.

Life expectancy and infant mortality rate determines the death rate, i.e how mayn children die at birth and how long people live, arguing that kano has a low death rate than lagos is not logical. My statement that death rate is low in lagos is comparatively compared to its likes Kano etc not the international world.

The credibility of the census is questioned thats the point.
Pally understand wetin person dey talk before you respond; please do not crucify me for nothing. I did not talk about infant mortality o!! ,i was talking about mortality in general. Ok no vex, i think i should use death rate may be u go understand me better.

PoliticsRe: Kano State Has The Highest Population In Nigeria? by ishmael(m): 8:05am On Jan 10, 2007
Why are you people surprised about the population figures of kano and kaduna?? Kano use to be the second largest city in nigeria after ibadan, and again the second most populated city in nigeria after lagos, and again the 2nd most commercialised city in nigeria after lagos; why is it then a surprise that kano has more population than other states in the country?? what if the population has increased geometrically (sorry exponentially) over the years?? Or have you all forgotten that fertility rate in the hausa northern part of nigeria and kano especially is very high?? one woman can give birth to 12 children or more. Hausas marry more than one wife and one mallam can have more than 30 children from these 4 wives and send some of them to almajiri school which is not obtainable in the south. As for kaduna do not compare kaduna in the 80's with what is on ground in this millenium. The population of kaduna has increased in such a way that social amenities have become insufficient. If you've ever lived in lagos, sometimes in kaduna you will think you are in lagos because of the motor-vehicle hold up and traffic jam as well as human traffic jam in the city. But as for katsina i find it very hard to believe that katsina's population is more than that of oyo state.

hahahaaha, there are tens of first class graduates without a job. We should rather focus on if it is the degree or the person that does the job. I have seen efficos who are extremely brilliant but anti-social, they can't mix with people. Are you now asying that this kind of persons would give optimal productivity in an organization? Absolutely not! Guy third or first class does not matter if not for the perculiarity of the Nigerian Job market.
Have you also asked yourself some of this third class graduate the way and manner the finished school? Some of them were extremely poor and couldn't afford a simple lecture note. So guys stop all these ramblings.
Please help me tell rusky o!!. e be like say the guy from Ghana or Chad dats why him no fit know the condition of Nigeria.
