PassingShot:I suspect they are Kwara or Kogi. Though they may be Southern.Kwara state has a high academic tradition especially in the legal field But this exposes the hypocrisy of the North ,when it suits them they won't see Kwara as North |

omonnakoda:I swear that was the first question that went through my mind when I read the story on vanguard. What were the Southern representatives doing when that man was demanding the suspension of the program? |

eCollynzo:It happened exactly the same way last year .Go to Facebook and investigate but then it is not only reps but you and I what are we doing. The Sulan of Sokoto actually had the effronter to go and make noise in front of GEJ then. Anyway it is very convenient for Eboes and Yorubas to keep hating each other so things like this are never tackled |

Ethnic sentiments and religious fanatism is the bane of our problems in this country. Scholarships were given to the best 102 candidates irrespective of their state of origin as far as they're NIGERIANS. At least i know of the dude on Number 10 on the list AYODEJI, AVIS ADENIRAN, we graduated from the same alma mater (UNILORIN) in 2012 and i can confidently say the guy is a genius cox he finished as the overall best grad student in the faculty of Engin with a FIRST CLASS in MECH ENGIN and he truly merited this scholarship after proving himself again. So pls lets stop all the bad blood and witch-hunting and c ourselves as ONE NIGERIA. |
| Re: Pressid 2015/2016 List Of Successful Candidates by omonnakoda(op): 4:40pm On Apr 24, 2015 |
yuskanovic:I suppose the form of the argument is not that your Ayodeji fellow is not a genius but that there are other geniuses from the North who have not been recognized. I just say this for the purpose of debating . Your argument is inchoate because it either does not recognize the issue or ignores it. That is not to say I agree with the Northern premise but your offering is not a refutation but a parallel piece of information. We need to improve the quality of our debating generally |

ArewaWarrior:My friend, take it easy. PRESSID is a different kind of scholarship. The are different stages of the shortlisting. There is age limit. 30 yrs for masters applicants. Most of the Northern first class graduates i know are over 30. Another criterion is the O level result. Then an aptitude test dat is not based on wat u were taught in skul so no tym for cramming. D process is purely on merit though the test for dis edition was flawed with leakages of questions because the organisers of the exams have a commercial software which contained all the questions. Those who knew and could afford it bought and they are d ones on that list because most of them scored above 80%. |

omonnakoda:I have met a lot of first class graduates from the north and all i can say about them is that they are very studious not intelligent. Passing the PRESSID test requires u to be very intelligent and fast. |

ArewaWarrior:did you see last year's list ? It is on Nairaland. Look for it . It was dominated by the SW with almost 50% the next zone which was the SE was about 20% . This year the gap has closed. That is what the North should aim to do instead of whining like spoilt brats.What does population have to do with anything. The educational gap between the North and South is well known and documented. China should dominate world football based on their population according to your "LOGIC". The reality is in the south we have learnt not to expect eductional assistance from the government unlike in the North where for many years under military governments .The state government could still afford University scholarships.In Unity schools those students travelling south from the North got grants from their state governments.There was no such thing in the South. Somebody today was talking about "JEGA" as if he is some great scholar. He may be so in the North but down south he would be average and unremarkable. At any level where there is academic competition from primary to University the North CANNOT compete with the South and when we say south we mean SW and SE not by a mile for that to happen based on what is on ground now you will need another 50 years because we are not standing still. What happens is you get privilege after privilege in Nigeria. How many Northerners with Phd s are unemployed ? You will find that number in just one state. Already Buhari is taking photos with one Youth leader Adamu because he has a Phd. He can be assured of fast track career and that makes the rest of you complacent and entitled in your thinking. There was an aptitude test and you were outclassed,deal with it and stop moaning. The Minister of Education was from Rivers state and the President Bayelsa. I did not see any names from Bayelsa though there may have been(ARGUABLY) a few Ikwerre names. I don't think the North are ignorant but at the top,top level you are not there. No matter how much you stamp your feet in protest |

Bants:What do you mean by'fraud'? That Igbo names are more on the list only shows you how sound the Igbos are educationally. Tell your people to read & study harder. We are gradually moving away from your retrogressive quota system where a brilliant southern child who scored 260/300 will be denied admission while a student from the north who scored 60/300 is giving admission. To me that's the real 'fraud'. Think. |
| Re: Pressid 2015/2016 List Of Successful Candidates by ArewaWarrior: 10:39pm On Apr 24, 2015 |
omonnakoda:You are operating on a pretense that is both backdated and simply non existent regarding your image of Education in Nigeria. The south after the coming of the white man embraced both his education and way of life (that is why your women have lost all modesty in dressing). The North was too advanced back then having complex empires that backdate to when your ancestors were running round stark naked, the trans saharan trade route has been around for over a 1000 yrs, so ur inferiority back then gave you the advantage that you have this day. What is with this south that you speak of? Do we not mingle in both the private and public sector? I will never accept a southerner in this day and age as a Northerners superior except in drug dealing, 419, Internet fraud, kidnapping et al. Things that make me ashamed of carrying the Nigerian passport. Do not take the population that I talk of in the wrong context, it is just to stress the abundance of skilled, semi skilled and unskilled inhabitants. There is a reason why the North has more than 75% of the nation's landmass, back then the south was no challenge and the only reason we didn't stop at the coast engulfing all of Nigeria with conquest was because the terrain made mobility very unfriendly. So ur not sleeping? Well neither are we. Lastly sir if you've forgotten.... were back in power! |

ArewaWarrior:I seem to have hit a nerve which explains your need to lash out spitefully. I talk only about education as it is today .The facts are not a secret to anyone. Before Nigeria there was no North South politically and so many of your premises are flawed. I do not state what I say out of hatred for you.We are in the same country and I tell you what I do out of love ,truly. Today in 2015 as far as education is concerned Your region is backward.Emotional tirades will not distort that. The issue of women ,dressing and morality is a strange and bemusing addition to the discussion No one is asking you to accept anyone as superior just face the data that has been overflogged as far as education is concerned. You talk of complex empires people running around naked and all that and in the same breath want to dispel conceptions of the north as backdated. Okay LET US TALK ABOUT THE PRESENT AND FUTURE. IT is funny . I am Yoruba proudly so. We are complete . We do not look across the ocean for validation. Your idea of civilization coming to you on camel's back across the Sahara is quite revealing We Yoruba have a proud history that does not need external validation. Do not hide under NORTH be specific please So you are in Power lol. Well you have been in power for most of our history much good it has done you .It only holds our development back, You can boast all you like but you contribute NOTHING to Nigeria you only take Whether your ancestors sent spaceships to the moon is of no relevance in 2015.Why are you afraid of separating from Nigeria since you have it all.Today you are not sending rockets to the moon but women to blow themselves up in markets is that something to make anyone proud of the Nigerian passport? I would very gladly school you about all the rubbish you wrotewith regard to history but let us focus on Education.The north is a liability and a parasite and to change that you need to educate your folk. |

omonnakoda:Watch what you write as you are loosing focus and simply all over the place. if Hausa-Fulani have held your country back as you claim, please go on and claim that all past, present and future southwest governors, senators, members house of reps, local govt chairmen are all hausa fulani, yes, we have mismanaged all federal allocation to the southwest from inception to date. The truth is besides the education advantage the southwest is no America or Europe, Ibadan has the crown as the dirtiest city in West Africa, that's a lot to be proud of. So of all your shenanigans besides Lagos which is Yoruba/Igbo/Hausa territory, no southwest state can support itself without the help of the federal government, your education has always been useless in terms of wealth creation that can impact on reasonable economic growth. Your assertion that the Yoruba don't look across the ocean for validation is laughable and stinks of hypocrisy. Did the Yoruba make western education? Answer is that affirmatively western education made the Yoruba, ironically that is the root of your amusing arrogance which you passively downplay. Poverty, parasites, backwardness bla bla bla in the North, calm down... the southwest isn't really that great. |

ArewaWarrior:I think it is clear who is l Personally I do not like that approach but it is still objective the real danger is when hundreds all score 100% Instead you come here to tell us how the GREEKS gave the world Geometry whilst the Germanic people were in caves. Well what is happening today? You are the one losing focus. Stop restricting the education of women and stop marrying them off as children.IF you do not educate your women you will forever remain backward We are used to not getting anything from government whereas you folk go around with a sense on ENTITLEMENT through quotas. What next will you be asking for quotas in the Super Eagles? Go and do some research. This is not a new programme.It was very well publicized with several threads with dozens on contemporaneous pages around the time of application and testing.Then when you FAIL as usual you start shout TRANSPARENCY. Why are you so afraid of competition |

I must admit that I'm kinda stunned reading some comments here.. Tribes who didn't dominate the list dey talk say na foul play and the one wey plenty for there dey form champion .. Just because someone made the list doesn't make he/she better than the rest and just because someone didn't doesn't mean he/she be wash!!! It could have been anybody on that list..I be yoruba but does it really matter if it is yoruba, igbo or hausa names on that list ni?? I sat for the pressid too and i didn't make the list. Alhamdulillah, I'm still proud of myself as ever . Better Days Ahead by God grace ![]() |

The northerners should pls go and study harder and stop talking about marginalization. When u don't get up to the cut off point and ur from north, so they should just exclude the Igbo's who made better grades and give it to u ppl abi? |

omonnakoda:Hahaha, I've hit the bullseye. Empty threats, baseless arguments, counterproductive contradictory assertions, my Yoruba friend your sanity is debatable as u have lost it totally. I have no intention of further dialogue with a person highly infected with the stupidity virus, its contagious and I reject it. Good riddens. |

@Omonnakoda I love the way u countered is arguement, urs was rather fact based and very convincing.I think the nothern guys should STFU and face their studies it Sims even DElta state has more rep than NW and NE combined.Congrats to d Lucky ones tho |

ArewaWarrior:Funny is this what you have been reduced to? An incoherent vituperative wreck. You are a disappointment to the moniker "Warrior" having run out of ideas I am now "stupid" . My youngest boy can do better than that come on Mr Warrior? D not disgrace the house of Arewa. You said earlier you are a champion scholar from the North ,civilized by years of wisdom and breeding from Arabia brought to you on camel back and this is all you can say? Data data data , my boy that is what counts, Highest rates of illiteracy, vesico vag.inal fistula,child marriage(oh that is your religion) ,lowest rates of immunization, in short every objective measure of Humanity and civilization finds you wanting. %0 years and counting of quotas , affirmative action and every other kind of encouragement and what do we get in return? Boko Haram You, you airy headed nitwit tht you are then have the effrontery and shamelessness to talk of comparing Northen graduates . Did you drink too many bottles of cough syrup or smoke too much of that Lizard dropping that is the favourite drug of your kids? We are not coevals even if you were given two scholarships you cannot catch me . If you fall asleep you cannot dream it how much more in real life. It is achievement enough that you get a degree so there is no impetus no drive to excel as you said you are "in power" so that should give you all the jobs you want deserved or not. That is like a pregnancy no matter how much she denies the stomach will speak its truth. If at independence you were 50 years behind now it is hundred and we ain't easing up any time soon Anyway the the term "north" means nothing. I am not a southerner I am Yoruba . What are you ? If you are not a coward declare your ancestry so I can put you in yur rightful cage. None of you anywhere in that North should open your mouths when the Yorubas are talking of education |
