Why are Nigerians okay with different cutoff marks for different states in Nigeria?

“Igbo can never be president”

But you give their children highest cutoff mark to get into schools.

Logic is just upside down, at every turn in Nigeria.

May God help us, and most importantly, grant us a place in heaven at the end of our labored lives, in Jesus name, amen!

Yes.



Bigger tasks for Bigger Brains... .

Must every discussion be about Igbo's?

A lot of you guys love complaining over nothing.

Unitary schools belong to the FG, every state has a quota to fill. A boy from Anambra is not competing with a boy from Borno to gain admission into a unitary school. A boy from Oyo is not competing with a boy from Taraba to gain admission into a unitary school.

If you're from Abia state, you will only compete with indigenes of Abia state for a slot in a unitary school. If the cutoff mark for Abia state is 100, the cut off mark will only affect students from Abia state.

A student from Ondo state is not competing with a student from Abia state. A student from Ondo state is competing with other students from Ondo state just the way a student from Imo is competing with other students from imo state.

If the cut off mark for students from imo is 90, it does not mean the cut off mark for Ogun or Kano students will be 90.

I believe Ndi Yoruba and Ndi South South too have high cut off marks and at some point have had the highest.

Some even much higher than some Ndigbo states in fact.

By the way, the fact that a few Batists are responding to taunting by Obidients by saying that does not mean it is a Nigerian wide thing.

Just like Ndi Yoruba were frozen out from the centre for a long time during Awolowo's lifetime, same is happening to Ndigbo. Ndi Yoruba overcame this by reaching out to other people.

Obidients meanwhile are insulting and abusing other people for questioning Peter Obí, you won't become President that way. Also despite continously voting PDP en masse, Ndigbo were never given the presidential slot, maybe time to stop voting PDP.

Finally, I myself want an Ndigbo president and I believe Bianca working with an APC government is the very first steps towards an APC and APGA merger that will achieve that.

Yup, Lagos cutoff is high, but all this is irrelevant.

Why not make a unitary cutoff point? Why is merit so frowned upon in Naij?

Anyways, I do not want an “Igbo” president. Left to me in my fantasy world, all candidates for governance would write exams, like serious exams like trying to become a pilot.

Whoever comes out top will be my guy regardless of origin. What would be the gain if a monkey, that is regarded as human, happens to come from some Igbo state and is made president, but is still a monkey, all to fulfill, “at least Igbo has been president”.

Like what the fuk is wrong with us?

Anyways, it is what it is! Have a blessed day yo!!

But when it comes to appointment no more quota... It's only the things igbos excell in you have quota abi?

There's a reason unitary schools were created by Gowon, let them serve there purpose please. There are lots of state government and private secondary schools in the south east that students can attend instead of wailing over nothing.

Sadly, we live in an imbalanced country so we do need to try and adjust the balance somewhat. Unitary schools should have as much spread as possible, it's only fair.

Per the merit thing, Nigerians are not serious. Look at president Tinubu's appointments that lack federal character as they are seemingly based on competence and see how Obidients are railing against it.

At this stage, I don't mind how incompetent the Ndigbo person is, let them be President so we can rest bikonu. They can't be as bad or as ineffectual as Bubu or Goodluck.

Per your exam thing, good shout but let's continue this democracy thing for now as practised in other countries.

Have a blessed day ahead yourself.

The highest cutoffs were for Ekiti, Ondo, and Ogun for several decades, yet their was no weeping nor crying

Read the explanations of area boys on this beautiful thread & clear your doubts that they are indeed miscreants

Nigeria’s problem is not just illogical.

it is an engineered, self-sabotaging nightmare, a system designed to ensure perpetual dysfunction. There is no steady standard, no fixed goalpost, only a chaotic game where the rules change depending on who holds the ball.


Quota systems were introduced to rig federal college admissions, ensuring that excellence is punished while mediocrity is rewarded. When it comes to appointments, party politics and tribal favoritism take precedence over national interest. Before elections, the political elite from a certain notorious part of the country screamed about power to the South, but the moment they got into power, it becomes all about who the president personally favors.

This is Nigerian system is not built on reason, fairness, or progress.

It is an elaborate, ever-shifting scam designed to keep the country in a cycle of stagnation.

Nigeria’s crisis is not one that can be solved by logical thinking because logic assumes a baseline of fairness, consistency, and national interest—none of which exist here.

The solution must be as radical, ruthless, and unorthodox as the dysfunction itself.


They are about to do another scam census where people will be counted based on state of residence and not state of origin but when it comes to distribution of dividends from the census population of states , you will start hearing of state of origin as the baseline.

Igbo child is not competing against a child in sokoto. I've explained this in my post but you're still arguing blindly. I won't be shock you're one of the people who believed Nnamdi Kanu when he said Buhari is dead and was replaced by someone from Sudan.

A student from Anambra, Imo, Enugu, Abia or Ebonyi is not competing with a student from Sokoto. A student from Anambra is competing with a student from Anambra

A student from Sokoto is competing with a student from Sokoto.

Anambra has a slot to fill in each unitary schools likewise Sokoto and other states across the federation. A student from Anambra is competing with a student from Anambra, a student from Sokoto is competing with a student from Sokoto.


Unitary schools were created by the FG under Gowon, there's a reason they were created, let them keep on serving there purpose. There are thousands of state government schools in the south east, there are thousands of private secondary schools in the south east, I wander why all this unnecessary tears over a handful of unitary schools located across the federation.

This happens when you write nonsense inspired by tribalism
You were insinuating that nothing was wrong with the cut-off mark and admission processes because an Abian will compete with fellow Abians, Lagosians with fellow Lagosians and Northerners against fellow Northerners.
If that was the plan, why were they named unity schools?!
An Anambra person shouldn't apply to FGC, Kano. A Plateau person shouldn't apply to FGC, Okigwe?!
Make it make sense, bro!

The education system in Nigeria is dead

So if you're ask to summarize my post, this is the nonsense you will write out? Chai!

Where in my post did I claim a student from plateau state shouldn't apply for admission in FGC Okigwe?

Kindly point out where in my post I wrote this

Some of the comments here clearly confirm what some of us have always known.

It is pretty obvious that Nigerians hate themselves, and the only reason this pretense of a country still exists is the oil and gas in someone else's backyard.

The Yoruba have clearly shown their true colours as predicted, and I hope they will be as grateful to receive as they are to shove it at Ndịgbo.

Nuff said!

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.

Is that an acceptance of defeat?
Why do you think so?
Was there something (s) igbo did/are still doing that made u lose hope?
