Just like yesterday
Can students do that now?

pongwa:
I see nothing wrong in quota system

So letting the best mind run our society is what you're not in support of?!

Fiscus105:
Wen Yoruba had been agitating, others were being spoon fed, why won't be clear gap during maturity.

You make too much mouth as none of this your claims is showing anywhere

oluwaseyi0:
South west as always want the best for this country and that is merit based appointments and admission same can't be said of North

Why are you avoiding mentioning the East? It was clearly stated that they were an accomplice in the report, stop being clever by half

Built2last:
Before they succumbed to Northern hegemony

Now when North coughs, The south Freezes

Why won’t they finally succumb when while they were agitating for meritocracy, the other southerners were being silly and unreasoning?
Check the reports again, SE and SS universities voted in support of the silly northern proposal. They even planted a northerner to head the body when the Yoruba man resigned in protest. Shame on the South!

DeLaRue:
UNN supported.

Ironically, the South East are now a staunch critic if the so called quota system in Nigeria.

Every history of Nigeria that I have read, I struggle to find a single time when the Yorubas have been on the wrong side.

Just like Azikwe opposed Awolowo's inclusion of freedom of exit of any region from Nigeria.

Now they are suffering the consequences.

mcquin:
But that isn’t the issue of concern and yes I get to support Tinubu from time to time.

The question is, why do you guys now support quota system? On very many national issues inclusive the quota system problem, even when northerners fail to defend it, certain southern elements (they know themselves) will be out in full support. Same persons supported a Buhari who knew next to nothing about improving economy, for good 8 years.

Who and who support quota system. This is record staring you in the face that the Yoruba rejected quota system. Present your document that state they have changed their stance

For the sake of argument, let us agree Igbos supported it then, seeing the wisdom in meritocracy, they have leaned in that direction.

Why would those who at the start saw the wisdom in merits, switch to quota system? We Dey go back or front?

How did the Yoruba switch to support quota system. Be specific and stop mumbling words.

The wrong rannation many of you want to pain on SM requires immediate rebuttal.

The people that were sharing wheelbarrow as constituency project want to measure SW in governance. Yet they were fleeing their region in droves, from Akure to Indian to Abeokuta has become their heaven on earth.

Buhari is a product of the system and yorubas in their numbers supported him on here for 8 years.

I cannot begin to comb threads here where concerns have been raised about quota system especially in admissions into our schools. It’s always “your side” supporting the lunacy.

It serves me no good arguing this as it is akin to asking me for proof whether yorubas supported Buhari, a total waste of time.

The guy can't answer that.

You still chose to defend the most stupid and indefensible thing despite the facts and evidence staring at you straight in the eyes. Now imagine it was the South Westerners who voted in support of this very quota system, were you and your kinsmen going to be this calm? Wouldn’t this thread be filled with biles and tantrums already?
Now we know who and who are the true fulanis’ slaves. They dance to the tunes of the Fulanis from time immemorial.
Which juju did the Fulanis even use on those other southerners who supported it when the sane ones walked out?

Stop ranting and speak fact. SW still maintain the highest entry requirement into the university up till today.

Bring your fact that show SW support quota system.

Maybe Nigeria started in 2015.

Who support Shehu Shahari a mere nursery school teacher and even deputized him.

Who support and organize 1million match for Sanni Abacha

Today you are presenting a 3rd class graduate of Philosophy to come and govern Nigeris

How does that relate to the question?

Na Buhari start quota system?

You dey mind him. They were in government right from the 80s and throughout the military regime and up to Jonathan regime eating, dinning and wrecking the economy, today they are crying because they lost and now trying to change the story.

DeLaRue:
UNN supported. The great South West universities opposed.

Ironically, the South East are now the staunchest critics of the so called quota system in Nigeria.

Every history of Nigeria that I have read, I struggle to find a single time when the Yorubas have been on the wrong side.

Mr Awolowo argued for the inclusion in the constitution for each region to have the right to secede. Mr Azikwe took the side of the Northern Premier in front of the colonialists in London to argue against it. A few years later, Mr Ojukwu went to war fighting for the Mr Azikwe's East to secede from Nigeria, but the Nigerian government refused on the ground that no region has a right to secede. The same secession right that Mr Azikwe had, a few years ealier, staunchly opposed. Another irony.

At Independence, Mr Azikwe parnered with the North and the British to solidify power in tge North despite the opportunity to align with Awolowo to design a modern, progressive foundation for Nigeria. Today, the South Easterns are the ones protesting 'Norther domination' the most.

The Yoruba culture encourages caution, think8ng before acting, and being philosophical about life. I think all these qualities make them more likely to take the right decisions more often than not.

Can it be that Ayédèrú Tinubu is not a Yoruba person and that he is actually a Fulani man

Tinubu rules out alliance with CPC

Prospect of a possible alliance between the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN and Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, was dashed yesterday in Kano as the leader of the party and former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu described CPC as parading “expired leadership.”

Tinubu told ACN supporters in Kano during the party’s Presidential rally that: “What Nigerians need now is a transformation in leadership” as obtained in the advanced economy.

The two-term Governor of Lagos State explained that the leadership of ACN was offering Nigeria the brilliance of Nuhu Ribadu who, he said, is in the class of Nicolas Sarkozi of France, David Cameron of Britain, Medvedev of Russia and Barack Obama of the United States of America.

“What has CPC got to offer? We certainly don’t need expired leadership as we are offering the best in terms of brilliance, courage and patriotism in the class of Sarkozi of France, David Cameron of Britain and Barack Obama of the USA.”

Tinubu’s position came on the heels of Ribadu’s declaration penultimate week in Kaduna when he hinted during a political rally of a joint ticket between the two opposition parties to confront the dominance of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

The national leader of ACN criticised President Goodluck Jonathan for shying away from the national debate held last Friday, stressing that”that singular act exposed Jonathan as a coward who has nothing to offer.”

Can you explain how Igbo have leaned in the direction of meritocracy

Why should any sane person even agree to such a ridiculous idea? Let’s start with that.
This is not me assuming or insinuating that they (those in support of it) are/were sane but c’mon, why agree to such a silly arrangement in the first place?
What exactly are you on about with your “switch to quota system” when the SW universities still have the highest requirements/cut-offs for admissions in the country?
So at what point exactly did they support quota system? Do you even know what quota system means because obviously you don’t because I can see you keep mentioning Buhari . So I’m forced to ask, how exactly does democratically electing a man into a political office translate into quota system my friend?
HE WAS ELECTED INTO THE OFFICE BECAUSE HE MERITED IT AFTER HAVING WON THE MAJORITY OF THE VOTES CAST, HE WASN’T GIVEN!.
I just broke it down for you in the most elementary way possible.
If your region hadn’t supported the quota system and you were properly educated, you wouldn’t be making this blunder.

csamii:

how do you characterise 'the best'?

SeeWahala:
This is exactly what the aboki shinning shoes in front of our street says too

You two must have so much in common 😏

yes, you are right. The quota system ensures fairness not equality. That's all that matters

SeeWahala:
Hehehe 🤭

This protest was done immediately before the government made them aware that the "system" was actually enacted against the Igbos who naturally merited everything

Once the junior RoNu students found out the gimmick they all folded their placards and vacated the streets to celebrate their 'One Nigeria'" with their Hausa/Fulani brothers 🤗

una too like cry sha……even from the simple knowledge of history that clearly shows Yorubas have always been an advocate of justice and equality and will never support oppression of anyone and have always been at the forefront of justice just like we have been known to have a large number of human rights activists that have always championed that course, such as the late fela, gani, falana, Soyinka etc just to mention a few…..while your tribemen are nowhere to be found but always active online crying while Yorubas are sticking their neck out for the rest of the country.

The same freedom and Biafra you clowns are crying for now would have been achieved without having to go to a senseless war that claimed the life of 3million of your ancestors if your kinsman Azikiwe had listen to voice of wisdom and foresight when Awolowo also propose the referendum clause should be added to the constitution but instead, due to his short sightedness he refused and made it a treasonable offence and here you are today cry and begging for what you should have had on a platter.

It’s good history like this keeps reminding us of the people or tribe that really fought for the development and advancement of this country and history will always be kind to the Yorubas just like we have it here now……so you should rather learn instead of always turning logic upside down, in your usual characteristic and trait and I hope the FG can bring back history to our curriculum and make it compulsory so ignorant clowns like you and your kind out there can learn.

Fairness/equity over equality

Yorubas, always at the forefront of radical protests against government imposition of regional and ethnic centric policies.

If you can’t see the nexus between the Buhari question and the quota system considering the premise made earlier, I’m sorry I can’t engage further.

So why is the quota system still operating till today, when all formerly backward regions and ethnics are supposed to have educationally and developmentally caught up with each others?

Blindsided trash talks as always, just for maniacal hatred of Tinubu.

What a waste it would be if you continue doing this for the next 6 years, when your assumed enemy will leave his presidential post.

the problem is not the quota system, blame the political actors
