Some prisons needs total overhaul. I hope ikoyi prison is one of them.

Ikoyi prison will be closed down and relocated to either Badagry or Epe axis

The reason Unity Schools were created does not justify an unfair admission system. If .

There's a reason unitary schools were created and it will keep on serving the purpose it was created for.theres thousands of state, private and missionary schools across Nigeria

nnamdi640:
This argument ignores the core issue—setting different cutoff marks based on state of origin promotes inequality and lowers standards. Education should reward merit, not be dictated by geography. Instead of justifying a flawed system, we should push for policies that ensure every child, regardless of state, competes on a level playing field. Complaints about injustice aren’t "nothing"—they are necessary for progress.

There's a reason unitary schools were created by Gowon. Unitary schools are not the only schools in Nigeria. There are thousands of states, private and missionaries schools across Nigeria students can choose from

SWATMan:
.

Exactly my point. The student from either osun, or Kano should score the same grade from his/her state to secure the same entry score for them to be admitted!
Giving preferential low score does not encourage hardwork, and resilience the key ingredients needed to succeed in academics.

Unitary schools were for a purpose. It's going to keep on serving the purpose. There are lots of other options like state schools and private schools

Defeating an incumbent, especially one who stole the mandate in the first place, needs multiple political parties to collaborate. If it means sharing power like they did in the 60s, let’s go back to that

Since Atiku just wants to answer president, he can take that while PO becomes prime minister

Lol

Nigeria was running a parliamentary system in the first republic. The Nigeria constitution does not recognize the position of a prime minister.

And here is the problem with nigeria. All cut off marks should be the for all federal schools in nigeria. If it's 2 in yobe it should also be 2 in Anambra and ogun, Not having 2 for yobe, 120 for Ogun then 190 for Anambra in the same exam, the same questions to qualfy for the same university. Abegii

If it's 120 in Yobe instead of 2, how do you expect Yobe state to fill her own quota in unitary schools?

Unitary schools were created by Gowon to serve a purpose. If you understand the purpose it was created for, you will stop having issue with the way the system is.

SWATMan:
This is the most stupid analysis I have ever seen on this forum. His question wasn't ambiguous in he's post, but because of the anomalies he wanted answers to, your level of understanding couldn't comprehend his write up. Why wouldn't there be competition for the best as it's obtainable in other clime? Why would a student from Abia be given a cut off mark of let's say 100, and the another student from osun 70 for the same examination? Why not the same cut off mark for all the students taking the exam, and then the competition restricted to the individual states, to present their best candidates who are able to attain the score? Why the preferential treatment? I need answers to these questions just like the ones he posed.

Lol

A lot of you need to really find out why unitary schools were created. You're just here arguing blindly.

Every state in Nigeria have a quota to fill up in unitary schools. An Indigene of Anambra state sitting for the exam is not competing with students from Osun or Kano, he's competing with his peers from Anambra state sitting for the exam.

Read your trash again
Clown

You're just getting unnecessary aggressive

Kindly point out where i said this in my post.

tishbite43:
An Anambra person shouldn't apply to FGC, Kano. A Plateau person shouldn't apply to FGC, Okigwe

Each state has a quota to fill. An Indigene of Kano state sitting for the exam is competing with his peers from Kano, an Indigene of Anambra sitting for the exam is competing with his peers from Anambra state. This is my position on the issue, I don't know where you're seeing what you're talking about.

AustineE1:
This is the most illogical argument I have heard in recent times,why have some of you chosen to be daft or out rightly senseless,I do not think you read what you wrote.
A man requires say 200 Mark's to get into school and from the same country, another 2 Mark's to get into the same school .Simply because he is adjudged to be from an educationally backward state,however another young Nigeria with 198 marks from Anambra is denied admission because he didn't make 200 Mark's and you justified it.
You spoke about quota,admittedly they dont fill in there quota in some northern states and yet out of the 104 unity schools in Nigeria,South East has only 12.Our children travel from the East to say Maidugari,just to attend a unity school in an Area where most classes are empty and will need far higher cut off to make the admission list.Why allocating the least number of unity schools to South East and yet they are they ones who are willing to attend at a very demanding cut off.
You are justifying it but you are not worried that when it comes to employment,they are largely relegated because of where they come from.

Lol

The way some of you guys are just complaining over this issue eh Every state in Nigeria have a quota to fill in every unitary school. There's a reason unitary schools were created by Gowon.

A lot of you are either confused or just fraustrated

You haven't proved anything I said to be false with this. Each state have a quota to fill in every unitary schools

Keep on crying over unitary schools as if there are no other options across Nigeria. There are numerous state schools you can attend in your state, you're busy crying over nothing. There's a reason unitary schools were created, they will keep on serving the purpose.

To serve as a deterrent to others, they shouldn't pay her aids.

She's only throwing up her baseless accusation just to tarnish the image of Akpabio for reasons best known to her

Archtype:
Anambra State elections is always at the grassroot, with the people, as it stands now, nobody can win Anambra State elections without using APGA... APGA has the grassroot and they are doing everything that government aught to do in the state. I am not a fan of any political party but this is a sincere review of Anambra State

This is what a lot of Ibos on nairaland politics should also understand about Lagos politics. As it stands now, nobody can win Lagos state governorship election without using APC.

Built2last:
what if this woman is right?

Just think, what if it's your sister that got home and told you that a man in high authority harrased her. will you tell the man that he was lenient on your sister

Is she also right when she accuse Reno Omokiri of sexually assaulting her?

Built2last:
Nigeria is a joke.

I can just imagine any western country where a woman points at anyone. whether false or right. Proper investigation is carried out.

You can see the high handedness in this issue. and Akpabio who is bigger is wielding his stick all over.

shame

A lot of you have no knowledge about the issues you're dabbling in. This is how some of you guys end up in jail.

The issue she is going to be suspended for has no correlation with the sexual assault issue at all.

The Senate president is lenient on her

Salewa97:
I hear they wan knack her six month suspension.

It's too small

Are you sure Dangote is also producing gas

100%

Kharol1234:
Meaning?

Kharol1234 Dangote is producing gas, the importers cant increase price scandalously. They will get burnt badly if they try to do so. Before Dangote started producing diesel, diesel was sold for 1800/litre, the week he started producing, the price crashed below 1200/litre. Price of gas can't shoot up because Dangote will run the importers out of business.

gidgiddy:
And the question is why is Nigeria producing all these groups?

What is it about your country that is making people take up arms against the country?

Of course we know you can't ask that question, it's you guys that are benefiting from insecurity

Shed more light on the bolded

izombie:
Actually they are competing each other. It's the same exam, same questions. Explain to me how they are not. Maybe i missed something.

Each states have a slot. Indigenes from each state have to fill up the slots for each state. A student from Kano state is not competing with a student from Enugu, he's competing with his peers from Kano state.

izombie:
And here is the problem with nigeria. All cut off marks should be the for all federal schools in nigeria.

There's a reason unitary schools were created. There are thousands of state government and private schools in the south east.

Cut off mark in unitary schools is not the same for all states. A student from Anambra is competing for Anambra slot alongside side students from Anambra

A student from Yobe is not competing with students from Anambra, he's competing with students from Yobe state for Yobe state slot.

Mercy Chinwo behaves like secular musician who is consumed with the greed for money.
.
I can't see evidence of being born again in her...,,it will be understandable if she was a secular musician.,.,Jesus dint die for us for all these mess she's creating of herself. As a Christian Jesus told us we can be cheated, hated, maligned and persecuted......our response shouldn't be running to court, but we know manybp of those gospel singer are too greedy for money that why she's in this trouble...yet she dint understand

What is Mercy Chinwo doing that is bad?

wellmax:
Mercy for just ignore, say the truth of the matter and move on.

This will only set her for dragging

Let them drag her. If VDM can't prove his case, the Judge should ask him to pay at least #150m

It seems there was no Oro masquerade festival this year, or even last year.

During the 2022 Election period, we were told Oro festival is done around February March yearly, but what happened this year?

Or do we have Political Oro now??

Hope the Oro Masquerades are not waiting for 2027 to come out again?

Your people who do cry Yorubas love interfering in Igbos internal affair will be no where to be found

The truth is that the desire to make America Great Again is burning in the heart of President Donald Trump. He is passionate about their country while our leaders are grossly self centered.

Tinubu is also doing everything within his power to make Nigeria great.
