MODS
Can we please have a modal names (the names occurring most) so we can see the regions that have defrauded us most

nagoma:

You have my full support on points no2 and 3 - a big shame to those people.

However on no.1 you know in Anambra they don't actually pass the exams - honesty is not their strong point and everybody knows that. As for no.4 we have seen our friends in Ebonyi happy to kill each other, with no promise of virgins at all, just for land which they may not even get.

Although I do not support the means through which some of them pass but u cannot compare their resilience (given that education is not free) to the docile nature of some northerners.
People in Ebonyi are fighting for land which is all they have and think is legitimately theirs (even though its wrong) but not killing peopl for some hallucination of virgins in an after life which they are not sure of. MAN there is no room for comparison

ismhab:
nye mu mmiri,
but you forget to tell us, that they are in the business of buying and selling of jamb question papers, how about making fake university certificate? Arm robbery, taking part in nysc, for more than 5 times, because of the monthly allowance, nye mu mmiri love money more than God.

I hope you know that its only those that finished sec school that write JAMB. So that shows you that the literacy rate between the 2 regions is not comparable. On the issue of exam malpractice its wide spread around the country.

FYI Anambra state is one of the very few states that do not offer free basic education but the people still go to school unlike in the north where a whole school may become empty just because students were told to bring #50 for a subsidized textbook.

In summary northern Nigeria is one of the most under-developed areas in the whole world. So you have no business referring to Igbos as second class citizens while your people live worse than slaves

ismhab:
arrest all the nyamiris, they are second class citizens.

BUT i hope you know that the number of people that take and pass JAMB from Anambra state each year far surpass that of any 4 northern regions added together.
I dont even want to go into maternal mortality rate of the so called 1st class citizens
What about giving birth to children and allowing them roam the streets
Or killing your fellow man and expecting god to reward you with 7 virgins.

Haters, religious bigots and tribalists stop hating.
MASSOB is just helping the FG achieve the #97 per litre pump price. If the FG had fully deregulated nobody will disturb them afterall they sold at whatever price before the #97 cap

No you did.
A child that asks his mother not to sleep is also asking himself not to sleep

@sexlog your picture analysis na 100% accurate

wow! This is getting interesting.

@op nobody is withholding you from going on with the protests.

Eko Ile:
What else is new? We know ibo and the creek losers are lazy and incompetent people, they have no self worth, no sense of belonging. Why not just come out and say what your dumb and tribal a//ss wanted to say.


I can't believe we have these tunnel visioned and tribal clowns in government.

And the Yoruba folks are so hardworking, competent, full of self worth and with every sense of belonging.

I think you should learn to accommodate other peoples opinion without resorting to insults.
I personally was in support of subsidy removal but I didn't call those with other views names

@op nobody is withholding you from going on with the protests.

Let us see the next 6 months. If there is the desired improvement then the whole subsidy should be removed

I'm not being sarcastic but I can't see the large crowd

mayorteeny:
Your friend probably had an "accident" along the way. Unibadan has one of the fastest medical school calendars in the country, I am a witness to that.

Unilorin does not go on strikes but after the first MB they spend months at home before going to clinical school

He didn't have any delay. Although I agree that uni ilorin do not go on strike. I think their academic year is usually longer than normal and also their breaks may be long. All these contribute to the delay

Feraz:
So i heard @ the bolded. . . .would tell you not to put your hope there. . .besides, all those people saying my school is fast should know it's not about how fast you are but how well you finish. . .

I don't agree with you. They both matter (speed & quality).
Ok lets say you spend 9years in skul, them 3 years for house job and youth service (cos of the likely delays). That is 12yrs alone. Then you now have to think about specialization which in Nigeria is far tougher and may be longer than med skul. That brings you to about 18-20 years studying. Man that is worrisome
For me anyting above 7yrs for med school (without resit) leads to diminishing returns. You can ask students in schools which give 6 months break after each exam

olawalebab:
No, Unilorin is on 11 years uninterrupted academic calender
It affects the objectivity in each post

Ok will withdraw 'only' and replace it with 'among the few'. But then the calendar of UI is slower. A class mate of mine in sec school who got admission together with me is about 6 months slower and will be approx. 1year on graduation

But like I said most of what I know about other schools is by interaction with other med students and not a 1st hand experience

Hahahahahahaha
Where is the Yoruba led PENGASSAN

@poster I can't speak of others but UNIZIK med school is good.
1. Its the only school which never goes on strike (including the current strike).
2. They have a steady and fast academic calendar. Infact from my interaction with med students around the country, I can say its the fastest. Also I can confidently tell you the almost exact time for all the MBs which never change.
3. In academics its not lacking
4. Admission is by merit. And if you are Yoruba you have a better chance cos its a federal uni and very dey western folks school in the south.

NB: It doesn't really matter where u get your MBBS certificate from. Once its a federal university its ok for me. You will soon discover that most of what u know as a Doctor is what you read on your own and not necessarily what you were taught. The lecturers are just there to guide you.

Fear don dey catch dey. I thought they were forming strong men for the militants

why are there usually no front page links for serie A matches as we have for other leagues

either way the government still has the upper hand.
GEJ is beginning to gain my support

@jmaine
Are you saying that all the local stations that sell fuel at N65 are directly involved in importing and subsidy collection?
I think that the Government subsidizes fuel to importers in such a way that they can decide to sell it to consumers at N65 or sell it to other local marketers who will now sell at N65 with both parties making profit. Afterall most of the local stations are not listed in the list of importing companies and vice versa

megastu:
These protests are beginning to die a natural death.
Seems to me that the NLC & TUC are beginning to loose support and also 'negotiating power'
GEJ welldone on this. Atleast you have answered your critics who said you have no balls

@jedisco, the comments above shows you are either living in space or you and jonathan get the same fish brain. Come to Ojota, Lagos and see what is happening.

1. It will be better if you can engage in discussions without resorting to insults to drive home your point
2. This issue is a national one and so protests in Lagos or the SW generally wouldn't do much. You need atleast 4 out of the 6 regions ACTIVELY involved. You can refer to my post immediately above

madprof:
On the contrary, jedisco, the protests are gaining momentum. Series of protesters are marching past my street as I write this - sorry to disappoint you. Several proTests are still being held across the country. And, of what importance are Jonathan's balls in this matter? Remember that you are a leader only for as long as the people allow it. If and when you cease to be useful they will throw you out, balls or no. It is probabaly reaching that point for GEJ.

I really dont think so
In the SS and SE its almost nonexistent because the few people who came out wont achieve much.
With the curfew in Kano (the major state in the north) almost half the effect of the protest has been wiped out. If you say Kaduna and Jos (also Maiduguri, Adamawa and Yobe) these states are too volatile and any protest going on there will be mild. The remaining northern states (except Sokoto) will not exert enough pressure as a region.
The middle belt is not that active
So the only region really involved is the SW. This will further help the Government give the protests a political picture.
All in all the whole stuff seems to favour the Government

These protests are beginning to die a natural death.
Seems to me that the NLC & TUC are beginning to loose support and also 'negotiating power'
GEJ welldone on this. Atleast you have answered your critics who said you have no balls

Justcash:
So, you are implying that they should stay and die there because they have houses and businesses there? Can businesses not be liquidated? You have not made suggestions. What are you advising them to do? Stay put and get gunned down, slaughtered like rams and bombed at will? Just to protect properties? You gat to be kidding.
They should empty their houses, and relocate down south. Most Igbomen up North are business men. Few are civil servants. Civil servants should protest enmass and seek for transfers out of those troubled areas. If they really cannot return home due to wealth concerns, then they should be ready to bear the consequences of their decisions.
Nothing beats having life. You must have life to be able to enjoy wealth.

Before i reply you i think i should tell you that
1. my family lives in the north so all these things happening interest me very well
2. I am not equating life to money but like i said earlier imagine if the Yorubas told Igbos to leave Lagos. How easy do you think it will be

Shame on all you Igbo folks arguing here. I just returned from Kaduna to Osha now. Immediately we got to Asaba we were all startled at the amount of hausa folks returning in trucks and the likes. Only to get home and see this.
Most times i wonder at the ignorance all my Igbo brothers who have never crossed to the north.
Do you think Igbo people can return with leather-bags just like hausa people i saw today
Let me use this analogy- Imagine Yoruba people telling Igbos to leave Lagos.
Here is my point wherever Igbos settle they own houses and businesses. So telling someone to sell all his property and come and begin from the scratch is hard. If you say life is more important I will ask what is life without value

look at how easy it is 4 these eediots to leave. This is because they are mainly security men and petty-traders who contribute little or nothing to the society. While Igbo folks in the north have chains of landed property and businesses running into millions.
They should be stopped and used as 'collateral' incase their brothers misbehave
