Sai Baba!!! Long life and prosperity to you. I am Igbo oooh, but I wish Buhari wisdom, grace, mercy and prosperity in Jesus name. Amen

why shout 'I am Igbo o'.. Igbo's are not aversed to praying for and wishing anybody well... Goes to show u are most likely not Igbo. For you to feel the necessity to exclaim you are Igbo in this case

efighter:
No Igbo man will ever rule Nigeria

what makes u say so?

They are not Nigerians?

Throwback:
The rationale behind such admission is Unity Schools. I suspected your ignorance of this rationale, yet with my enlightenment you are still afraid to exit the darkness and be illuminated.

Education is a right, Unity school is not a right.

So pursue your education elsewhere if you fail to meet up with your State cut-off marks to be part of the State contingent to occupy already allocated and guaranteed slots.

I repeat, the Federal Unity Schools do not even make up to 1% of secondary schools in Nigeria. So why wail over a government programme that is never going to be accessible to all but must have representation from all corners of Nigeria?

Take your high capacity brain to a private school where there is nothing like quota, and all you have to do is to pay without any federal subsidy according to the quality of education provided.

If you can devote the energy you use to wail over what is not your right, to pursue your academic dreams, you would not need to lament in future as a parent of a child who has failed to meet his State cut-off mark, but is economically handicapped to pursue more qualitative education that abound everywhere and that is not subsidized for general affordability like the Unity Schools.

If you still do not understand, then look yourself in the mirror and you will see a glutton who wants to have what belongs to others, having already taken possession of what belong to him.

And if my arguments that have been canvassed with simple words and appropriate punctuations, are meaningless to you, then it is not my fault you remained illiterate when others were getting sound education. It is not uncommon that some people do not have the mental capacity to read beyond a sentence, before they tire out. To them, everything is an epistle, hence the ignorance that follows them like a shadow.


Is it your fault that Igbos discard federal character when in high office or don't the respective Igbos have a name? Was Stella Oduah not accused by other tribes of favouring Igbos in the aviation ministry?

Is it my fault if President Obasanjo or ministers Ogunlewe of Works or Femi Fani-Kayode of Aviation, discarded federal character while they held sway?

It is he who is in power that chooses to discard federal character and practice nepotism and favouritism. Azikiwe was a master of that as Visitor to University of Ibadan.

So don't pretend you are not as bad as every other tribe. You were not lamenting when Jonathan was in Power and favoured Igbos, that time others lamented. Now is your own turn to lament, while others are keeping quiet like you did then.

And then, the cycle continues.

Una hypocrisy na gold standard.. When it comes to unity schools,everybody must get his share,eben the most unqualified,but when it comes to federal appointments or presidency then the word Igbo becomes a taboo... When it comes to presidency,the most cunning and the most manipulative should carry the day..federal policy fizzles out.. U start hearing igbos dont build bridge,they didt vote apc in block etc.. But when its unity schools rules will be made to accomodate at all costs.. Hypocrites like u wont advocate for them to tighten up their educstional belts,bearing in mind dat its from this same pool of students that important future position holders of the country will be picked...positions that affect the nation..Oya write another meaningless epistle again. The thread needs to be kept alive for more ppl to see and judge for themselves

Every well meaning Nigerian will vote an igboman come 2023

Throwback:
What is the anomaly in having dedicated admission slots for a school that is meant to unify and integrate diverse tribes in Nigeria?

Is it that Igbos are excluded and do not have their own slots which are already allocated even before the exams are written?

Why do you find it a mental difficulty to understand that the robust competition for these slots with students scoring very high marks, is what makes the admission cut off for Southern States higher to occupy already awarded quota? While the apathy to education is what makes the very poor scores of Northern students to result to very low cut-off marks for Northern states to occupy their already awarded quota?


I wonder why Igbos who have already fulfilled their own States allocation of admission slots, are always wailing about the slots that are allocated to other states.

Is it a must to have it all?

Can't you let this unity agenda schools thrive in integration of diversity as it was intended?

Is it that there are no good schools in Igboland that every year you must find an Igbo weeping profusely about unity school admissions like it is the end of secondary schooling opportunity for the Igbo child?

Learn to curb your gluttony and stop coveting what does not belong to you, especially when you have yours already. Your greed is the something that is wrong and it is with you Igbos that is the somewhere.

Greedy lots!

If u can't harness a fraction of the energy and zest u use in writing these meaningless and unreadable epistles to explain the rationale behind admitting a child that scores 10 ahead of a child DAT scores say 130 just for the sake of filling up slots,but conveniently discarding the so called federal character when its time for appointments into federal agencies ,Then I am sorry to say that you are just a mischievous noisemaker with yet to be deciphered motives..

Zik was a product of his experience. He studied in America and saw the racist treatment of black peoples. Just like kwame Nkrumah, he was a an Africanist. He wanted a united Africa.


Looking back now, it was a fantasy and a big disaster. We may all have different shades of black skin but we are not the same.

We have fundamentally different value systems.

A thousand and one likes for this... Even tho it doesn't translate to a penny to yo account

Throwback:
Do you know understand the agenda for which the Unity Schools were set up?

Consider the illustration below.

African Union (AU) decides it wants to promote international integration among citizens of member nation states.

It decides to set up a secondary school in each of 5 regions of Africa, namely:

-North Africa (Algeria Egypt Libya)
-West Africa (Nigeria Ghana Mali)
-East Africa (Kenya Uganda Tanzania)
-Central Africa (Cameroon Gabon Congo)
-South Africa (Angola Zambia SouthAfrica)

Each year each school would admit 25 students, so 5 schools would admit total of 125 students.

A quota is set that each of the 5 African regions would have 20 equal admission slots, while the remaining 25 admission slots would be shared unequally to favour the African regions with higher population or higher rural to urban ratio.

If we assume that due to Nigeria's population, West Africa is given 10 more slots to make 30 slots in total. Then we assume North Africa has the Hughes rural to urban ratio and is given 12 more slots to make 32 slots in total. The remaining 3 slots out of the initial remainder of 25 slots is then shared equally among the 3 other zones in Africa so they have 21 slots each in total.

The final distribution and guaranteed quota even before any exam is written is:

-North Africa 32
-West Africa 30
-East Africa 21
-Central Africa 21
-South Africa 21

After staging a general exam conducted in every country in Africa, we can assume the results recorded are:

Many West Africans scored above 90%, such that the least score of the 30 students required is 93%, it becomes the cut-off mark for West Africa to meet its own quota of 30 admission slots.

Many North African with the rural predominance and apathy to education, score below 50%, such that the least score to populate their quota of 32 slots is 22%. It becomes the cut-off for North Africa.

Other 3 zones also manage to score above 80% such that in populating their 21 slots, their cut-off marks are all 87%.

It simply means that the cut-off marks for the 5 zones to achieve the international integration plans of the AU is:

-North Africa 22%
-West Africa 93%
-East Africa 87%
Central Africa 87%

After this strenous but irrelevant epistle,..I was hoping to see you commit a fraction of this energy to rationalise the skewed appointments into federal parastatals in Nigeria afterwards ...but alas,...

I wonder why Yorubas are all over this thread defending this glaring anomaly.. Sth is grossly wrong somewhere.. One is even running amok here digging up irrelevant posts to back up sick views, smh

Hotfreezer:
Are you not the same person here?


You're an idiot of celestial proportions.
If you are pained, go and elect sensible leaders not Ikpeazu, Ugwuanyi, Obiano and Ihedioha to build schools in your village and stop making animal noises online.

You fools would cry blood today but nothing for you. Bayelsa people are happy Apc won, the slaves ate crying more than the master.

Why single out my post? Or i posted spontaneously? You should have pasted the idiot I was referring to on that thread or even bring the whole thread to fore... A thread where a known Yoruba tribalist tries to ridicule Igbo's living in Russia.. What better way to bring back his senses than reminding him that his very own is under undue oppression and he could do sth about it rather than ridiculing others.. Stop being dubious and clever by a tiny fraction

Difrent:
Tell your child that these unity schools are FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OWNED
that Anambra you are from has thrice the number of schools in Katsina
That Anambra has 10x the number of educated citizens than katsinas.
That even at that low marks, there are still more southerners in unity schools than northerners.
Tell her Anambra state has schools far better than unity schools and she will go to one of those schools and that it's NOT a must to attend unity schools as not up to 1% of Nigerians get to go to those schools anyway.

So how do u rationalise katsina having far more slots in dss than anambra. Why not device a way to fill in and balance the quota like u did in the unity school admission. Why should certain parts of the country swallow up most of the slots when its time for recruitment,despite being (deliberately)educationally disadvantaged.. Are u encouraging perfection/growth DAT way? How can the country now harness its best brains and strive to be at par with the world?

Stop being clever by half mister

EmekaMD:
No I'm not saying the same thing with you man.

you have dropped your point,you don't have to banter with fools.. U can engage intelligent and reasonable folks on the thread when they come

Medical tourism outside Nigeria's borders has to stop, let's improve our health system. India has a population synonymous to Nigeria but they are doing great in respect to health facilities.

Imagine if Buhari was an Igbo man. Closed south west Borders and northern borders. Jet out to London to relax. And his brother, jets out to London with 30 Igbo friends and family members to celebrate birthday.
Back home, his DSS refused to released an activist who has met his bail conditions.

What do you think would have been happening all over Nigeria by now?

placards and destruction of lives and properties everywhere
