Stop Donald Trump from doing what exactly? Don't make me laugh. We don't need to work towards ANYTHING. When we are seperate countries nobody will need to be told to respect the other.

Reality will dawn on you when the time comes. No be by mouth.

The reality is that you guys will be deported and nothing will happen... Atleast we still have abandoned properties in Ph today and nothing has happened

sashash:
this guy sabi Abeokuta very well .. being honest what ever u do ..do it well...some Ibos are doing in Abeokuta even in the civil service where an Ibo man is the P.S ...

It's funny how igbos are forming accommodating, tolerating etc on this thread. .. . Is it not the same igbos that banned kumuyi from coming to aba? Is it not the same Igboland where non indigenes are sacked from the civil service while igbos are permanent secretaries, directors in the Ogun state civil service.

joeyfire:
Afenifere would disagree with you. Your type are good for carrying placards and typing grammar but have no influence in any decisions.

Life is a layercake and you are the crust wey heat dey turn black

You put your trust in afenifere?

The generality of the yoruba populace can't wait for that your nation to happen... And it's quite funny all those things you said about United nations and sanctions bla bla... Why didn't United nations stop Donald Trump? Or why didn't they stop Nigeria when Ghanaians were asked to leave?

Nigeria is a sovereign state and all matters relating to trade and immigration will be determined by the state and not UN.

That's why you folks need to work towards achieving your dream country devoid of insults and hate speeches, so that there can be a peaceful negotiation.

But if statements like "We developed lagos" We own 99% of landed properties in lagos "" igbos are the landlord in lagos while yorubas are tenants" etc then don't expect sophistication this time around from the island boys in lagos

I'm not surprised at all.. I have always known Ipob to be criminals... the few igbos that wants Evans punished only wants that because Evans's victims were mostly igbo

fiizznation:
This VP is too petty for my liking. Who goes to a densely populated market and allowed himself to be almost mopped by some women? In Nigeria where there is serious security challenges, you as the acting president is roaming around in a place were a sniper can easily snipped you out even before the blink of an eye, and maybe put the nation in chaos by your silly act.

Osibanjo is classless and too petty for my liking. Just look at the foolishness he did last week, making one inconsequential miscreant that called himself a freedom fighter feel a little important by giving some useless reasons of why he(the miscreant) wasn't invited to a dialouge meeting.

You don't have to appear too petty just because you want people to like you. And no, I don't dislike osinbanjo, but is just that his pettiness turns me off.

Ode ma ni eleyi ke

Fulanis shouldn't expect any form of sympathy from other tribes

Freemancipation:
The Chinese, American, Lebanese, Indians etc all leave their countries and come to Nigeria to do business. They even beat and Abuse their Nigerian workers yet igbos are always the ones Nigerians are always worried about.

The Americans, Chinese etc had already developed their lands before helping others to develop theirs.. unlike igbos who don't develop theirs but claimed to have developed lagos, Abuja, kano, Kaduna, Indonesia, Malaysia

Grundig:
Honestly, gej and OBJ got this power issue wrong. What ambode is doing is exactly what they should've created. Every state should provide its electricity need.

Nonetheless, I see good news all round. When this Lagos initiative is complete, they'll leave the national grid thereby making more megawatts available for the parts of the country.

That policy is one of the things hindering the power sector.. . No state wants to invest in power generation as long as there's national grid. . FG needs to decentralize power generation

Earlier today, on a thread, nonsobaba, an anambra supremacist has this to say

[/b]"Allow hausa into your land and you will regret it for many years to come. They come to your land and don't want to obey the prevailing laws. There is a reason why Anambra state is the only state in Igboland where there is no where the hausas are given land. We chased the ones at headbridge into asaba, Delta state and the ones at amansea into ugwuoba, Enugu state. Look for the black goat while it is still day." [b]

I think hes naturally dumb

1960s banking for dat matter

Lol

raker300:
what do you get off telling all these lies for?

CARITAS used uli airport to bring in food. Nigerian govt seeked to destroy said airport for years but couldn't cos it was a well hidden airport.

Now, you mean to tell me nigerians used CARITAS to bring in food then tried to bomb the airport being used to bring in food?

Are you this blank? Wow!

Google RED CROSS and CARITAS, they're an international body..nigerians don't "control" them

Shut up.. . You are an illiterate.. Who told you Nigerian government needs to control the red Cross and caritas before sending food to Biafra?

In the event there's war, organizations such as red Cross, doctors without borders serve as third parties.. they partake in war negotiations..

raker300:
you mean cbn has no records of companies, coperate bodies and banking details from each state?!

Wow...I think this level of ignorance is inbred

Quit displaying your ignorance here... Why would the central bank of Nigeria keep records of bank transactions involving individuals and business organizations?

Are you naturally dumb or it's you that have decided to be dumb

raker300:
This man is a bloody liar.

"After the war, bank documents of the igbos were burnt":
mr. Man, the documents were at Cbn at the time Wch was in Lagos. Lagos did not witness the war because it was the capital of nigeira.
How come only documents belonging to igbos were burnt?

"I did not know who was in the panel or what they agreed, I just signed the documents";
this man is a masterminded criminal. You a minister of finance don't read documents before signing? God have mercy.

Good thing this crook is in hell fire!! Burn forever!!!

You are unintelligent my friend, you mean to say CBN had documents of daily transactions relating to customers of commercial banks or cooperative banks?

Go back to your secondary school Commerce or economics textbooks and read up the functions of the CBN

sean1000x:
Didn't Awolowo kill 3 million children by starving? Is that not worse than Even's kidnapping? Answer me Afonja and your hypocrisy.

You had a country, ojukwu was your leader. . Why didn't your leader provide food for you? You expect the enemy to continue feeding you?

Blame ojukwu that cornered the foods sent to Biafra for himself and his cronies..

Why were soldiers feeding fat and civilians suffering in the war? Ojukwu starved your people and not awolowo

raker300:
This crook is actually claiming to send food through CARITAS?

Jesus Christ, this man is possessed!!

CARITAS WAS OWNED BY THE CHURCH. Nigerian government did not have a hand in that.

The same Nigerian government shot down these planes conveying food stuff.

This man will forever remain in the hottest part of hell

You don't have sense, so you think the Nigerian government will convey the food themselves to Biafra their enemies.. . Of course third parties like caritas, red Cross will be used

sean1000x:
Who did he kill? He only kidnap. Was Awolowo executed for killing 3 million children?

C'mon where is your sense? Must everything be seen as marginalization? What has awolowo got to do with Evans the kidnapper from Nnewi, anambra state?

durentchigozie:
and ofe mmanu students dont cheat ? https://www.nairaland.com/976009/unilorin-expels-13-students-misconduct

I understand the average yoruba man is dumb but try to be different

I think you are the dumb person here, we are talking about JAMB, 2017 and not disciplinary actions taken by unilorin on erring students

durentchigozie:
your hate for Igbos is visible even from ur profile picture. Keep hating afonja, we soaring higher.

Soaring in examination malpractice. .

I attended a meeting recently at the headquarters of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board in Bwari, Abuja: the post-2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination review meeting chaired by the JAMB registrar, Professor Ish-aq Oloyede. Participants included Professor Oloyede and his technical team, field officers and other staff, all the Chief External Examiners who supervised the 2017 UTME, across Nigeria, mostly Vice-Chancellors of universities, and provosts/rectors of polytechnics and colleges of education, in addition to major stakeholders from civil society.

The JAMB Registrar presented a detailed report on the conduct of the 2017 UTME, matters arising were identified and the meeting took certain decisions about the way forward, the details of which have since been published. The 2017 UTME was conducted throughout Nigeria between Saturday 13th and Saturday 20th May 2017, at 140 examination centres, 642 Computer-Based Test Centres, with 7,000 invigilators and monitors and 1, 722, 236 candidates.


It was the first examination to be conducted under Professor Oloyede’s watch as JAMB Registrar. He was full of appreciation for the efforts and contributions of everyone, including the civil society and security agencies who helped to ensure the success of the examination. The meeting noted that Oloyede and his team had also done an excellent job in organizing a commendable Computer-Based Examination across the country. In recent years, JAMB has insisted on computerizing its examinations, and under Oloyede, there has been not only an emphasis on this but also on the integrity and credibility of the examination. The Report presented by the JAMB Registrar was comprehensive, confident and informative.

In 2017, JAMB examined the highest number of candidates in its forty years of existence: 1.7million, with the highest number of participating external officials and monitors. The first point the meeting noted however, was that the figure of 1.7 m does not actually reflect the true number of candidates who sat for the examination. More than 300, 000 of the candidates engaged in double or triple registration, and where it could be established that any candidate sat for the examination more than once, such a candidate was automatically disqualified. A total of 666 cases were reported in this regard.

For planning purposes, the figure of 1.7 m was misleading, a fact that was worsened by the fact that more than 50% of the candidates do not even have the pre-requisite qualifications, and in reality, more than 70% of all candidates applied for courses in the Arts and Social Sciences, whereas for national manpower development purposes, the expectation is that the Sciences should produce up to 70%.
The message here is clear: higher education admission processes ought to reflect the country’s manpower needs, and there is no doubting the fact that at the moment, there is a mismatch between our country’s manpower production processes and the job market, and this is perhaps in a way responsible for the country’s unemployment crisis. As it were, Nigeria’s higher education system produces graduates that do not fit into the demands of the job market.

Oloyede was more agitated about matters of integrity, credibility, accountability and transparency. He asked the meeting to take a close look at cases of examination irregularities and malpractice and take a decision. We were informed that a total of 1, 386 candidates all properly identified and documented were guilty of the following offences: impersonation, possession of prepared answer scripts, smuggling of foreign materials into the examination venue, possession of electronic gadgets including telephone, copying and spying from foreign materials, unruly behaviour, violent conduct, collusion, multiple registration and examinations. We were all shocked when Oloyede asked his staff to present to the meeting, concrete evidence of examination malpractice. We were shown shirts, with presumed answers written out in the inner lining, slippers, belts, handkerchiefs, and all kinds of strange devices that candidates across the country smuggled into examination centres.

It turned out that a criminal gang had developed around the UTME, involving persons who deceived candidates into believing that they had access to examination questions. Such questions with prepared answers were sold to candidates ahead of the examination. But according to JAMB, this was meaningless, because the examination questions were sent electronically to the centres only on the day of the examination, and JAMB did not use the same set of questions, at any time, either in the morning or the afternoon.

The bigger problem came from the operators of the Computer-Based Test Centres, who colluded with candidates and parents to compromise the examination. Many of these CBT centres collected gate fees, ranging from N2, 000 to N20, 000 and higher, they recruited thugs, they deliberately created technical problems to assist candidates to cheat (in some cases, the CCTVs installed by JAMB were either switched off or covered up); some centres also ran parallel communication cables to secret rooms where ghost candidates who had done what is called 8 x 2 fingerprinting, involving a candidate and a substitute, ghost-wrote the examination. Oloyede reported that JAMB did its best to track down all the fraudulent centres, across the country, 25 centres were involved in centre-induced malpractice, with 57, 646 candidates. Some other centres had technical issues, and in total, JAMB proposed that 72 centres in 18 states of the Federation should either be delisted or suspended.



We considered the report on every affected centre on a case-by-case basis, with each Chief Examiner responding to further enquiries, and at the end, the meeting resolved that 48 centres involved in extortion and malpractices should be delisted, while 24 centres should be suspended for a year. [/b]The statistics on 2017 UTME malpractice is noteworthy. Most of the affected states are from the South East and South South as follows: Abia (381 cases), Imo (193), Anambra (152), Enugu (114), Cross River (78), Ebonyi (48), Akwa Ibom (44) while the states with the lowest number of cases are from the North viz: Kebbi (1), Kaduna (16), Kano (29), Katsina (2), Kogi (7) Sokoto (25), Taraba (4), Zamfara (1). Yobe and Jigawa states had no reported case of examination malpractice, only 2 cases of multiple registration from the latter. Could it be then that students and CBT operators in the North are more honest than their Southern counterparts, or perhaps less computer savvy? Does the 2017 UTME say anything about national character?[b]




Our deliberations did not cover this particular detail, but the meeting became more exciting when the involvement of parents, particularly mothers, was reported. In one centre, a mother was said to have approached the Chief Examiner to ask him to assist her daughter to pass the examination. The Chief Examiner reportedly told her to leave the examination venue, but she insisted that if the Chief Examiner was ready to help, as requested, she was prepared to pay in kind. The alarmed Professor and Examiner told her it was not part of his function to do what she wanted. The UTME, he said is a merit-based examination.


The woman, not giving up, asked for the hotel where the Professor was staying. She offered to join him in the hotel later in the day! In another state, an invigilator lured a young lady to the control room with the promise that if she would co-operate with him, he would help her to pass the UTME. Other invigilators caught the two of them and promptly reported the matter. When the young lady’s mother was informed about what had happened, her response was most unusual. She was not willing to press charges, or talk about the scandal. She was in fact not bothered at all. She would rather talk about something else. What did she want? She wanted JAMB to compensate her daughter with additional 10 marks or more, to make up for the sexual harassment. We were all alarmed. Strange things really happen.


Someone then remarked that JAMB should take a decision and ban mothers from following their children to examination centres and all husbands should be advised to keep an eye on wives who will go to any length to mislead their children. Again, the meeting did not concentrate on this delicate subject. But someone made a point: “You see this thing called corruption. It starts from the home. Many parents are setting very bad examples for their children. There is too much desperation in our country. The anti-corruption campaign should start with parents.”




Nonetheless, the meeting resolved that JAMB should introduce the use of electronic jammers at examination centres as part of measures to discourage centre-induced malpractice, the results of 1,386 candidates found guilty of examination malpractice should be cancelled, 57,646 centre-induced malpractice results should also be cancelled, while a supplementary examination should be held on July 1, for candidates who lost time due to the malfunctioning of servers, technical and log out issues, Biometric Verification related issues, late registration due to no fault of theirs, incomplete results and candidates of centres with mass malpractice but who are deemed innocent.



The JAMB Registrar further informed us that the examination body was ready to go to court where necessary to prosecute persons involved in examination malpractice, and that should any manager of a CBT centre find it necessary to challenge JAMB in court, he and his team would be glad to meet such persons in court. I like Oloyede’s spirit and the enthusiasm of his freshly energized team. The larger question is why examination, something considered a serious routine in other countries, is such a nightmare in Nigeria. Students cheat, parents collude with agents to help their children to cheat, examination consultants are worse, the kind of reports we receive daily about examinations in Nigeria sound fictional but they are worrisome because they are real. It is tragic that our public examinations are no better than Nigerian elections!



Just before the meeting ended, the representative from Akwa Ibom stood up and said he had a letter for the JAMB Registrar – one of the JAMB officials who served as a Proctor in Akwa Ibom state would need to assist the police with investigations into a case of examination malpractice and give evidence in court


“I heard about that case. I have directed that the lady should leave for Akwa Ibom and stay there until you are through with the investigations. Who is her direct supervisor?’, Oloyede asked​.​


One of the directors raised his hand.


“Ha. Doctor. That lady is excused from work until further notice. She should relocate to Akwa Ibom and assist with investigations. We will pay her DTA and provide whatever support she needs. Wherever there is any reported case, we must follow it up to prove that we will not tolerate any form of corruption or malpractice where our examinations are involved. The examiner from Akwa Ibom, you can keep her for as long as you want until you get to the root of the matter. Meeting! Approved?”
