Young man,that list you are talking about is the merit list. And merit list comes purely from the best jamb scores of these applying for each course.
Compete with them on jamb scores, if you beat them,nobody will deny you the admission.
....and you know igbos will always excel when things are done on merit system. But am sure other supplementary lists can accommodate other 'interests'
fvkin lies ma bro wch merit wen was d last time merit was considered ...pls lets not just talk unreasonable plssss lets change nig plss

...Oga OP...UNN is still better,atleast dey chose frm five igbo eastern state,dt dominated d list


Go and check UNILORIN 2007 list,90percent of d candidates admitted dt same year were from Kwara,7percent from Co-north(like kano,katsina,zamfara,borno,jigawa and d rest),d remaining three percent were picked from d remaining state.If u are a kwaran dt year,even if u re not up to d cut off mark,u were guaranteed and admission
I was denied admission despite beating d cut off mark,wc made me to claim Kwara d following year and I was admitted
So op,No b only UNN dey do,UNILORIN too is a culprit

[b]So, I was just in my office in the US relaxing (jejely) after a meeting, when I saw the post of UNN, Nsukka's provisional admission list released by the registrar Chris Igbokwe. So, I took a few minutes of my break time to peruse the names. I observed that over 99% of all the newly admitted students are ALL Igbos. Out of the over 15,000 admitted students I could only count about 10 confirmed Yoruba names. In fact, many of the departments do not have a SINGLE non-Igbo student admitted. This is a federal University for God sake! 99% from the same region! We understand that its situated in the East but haba take it easy Igbo people. When the Hausas do it, you are always the first to condemn them. The problem is that my Yoruba people in the SW will be the ONLY ones admitting people based on merit from across the country to the detriment of our own people - because we want to be seen as decent human beings. The Hausas and the Igbos do not give a fvck. The are just too tribalistic. We should start doing in the SW what the Igbos are doing in Nsukka - No more admission for Igbo students in UNILAG etc. until the Igbos change their ways.[/b]
did u also gone thru the list of those who applied to find out how man non igbos applied for admission at UNN, why would u just criticize without having well back evidence to prove ur claim. those non igbos that apply for UNN are they up to 10% do they merit it, why are u guys this tribalist, when will this ur pull down the Igbo syndrome end.

Son,merit list comes from jamb. And honestly,most tribes don't like filling schools in the east because they feel its too competitive,for example,i just heard that the cut off for medicine and surg in that UNN is 311. Now tell me if you have anyone who made that score and put the school for that course. And jamb will not put the name of anyone who didn't fill the schools in their choices.

I have made the explanation as elementary as possible, if you still find it hard to grasp,then know its a case of deep seated tribalism in you and there is nothing any clarification made here can do to help you

UNN never release the cut off, so tell me where you got the 311 cut off for medicine from undecided

How many Yoruba students are you aware of that applied and passed and weren't given admission. Most of my friends are Yoruba, and when we were preparing for jamb, not one of them included unn as their first choice. Are you saying that the school should be looking for or begging yorubas to attend. Kindly give me just a 100 Yoruba students who applied and passed but weren't given admission. Mtcheeeeeeew. angry

B
Be there and be correcting grammatical errors, you know very well the op has raised an irrefutable fact. Haba federal university with 99% indigenous admitted students. It speaks very bad of your people.

The OP said 15,000 names. A source from the institution says 3,653 names. Give me a reason not to consider the biased nature of this information.

VhatAmazingDude:


Whether the post is in bold or not; It doesn't make much sense if certain information are not added: Meanwhile you can help the OP provide the information I demanded Earlier

Firstly, where is the source(are the sources) of your information?
Socondly, what is the percentage of each tribe that sought admission in the institution?
Finally, the JAMB score of each applicant with respect to the Institution's Merit list.

Only then can we test your '99%' marginalization hypothesis.

Till then, this is akin to the reality of N-Power Scheme.

OP, I must say am very disappointed in you, you claim to be enlightened but your reasoning leaves a lot to be desired. Firstly, the list is called MERIT LIST, only those that hit the cut off marks will be admitted not minding your tribe. The questions you should ask yourself is that how many of the Yorubas actually chose the university? secondly, for those that chose the school, how many beat the cut? Or are u expecting those that didn't meet the cut off to be on the list while those that did should be denied just to please an ethnic group? You should make research first before you come online and start causing trouble and saying what you know nothing about. The UNILAG you are talking about, I wrote JAMB three times for the school and each cases I was never more than two points their merit cut off, I beat all the catchment cut offs but was never given admission. Be careful when you talk
Re: A Federal University Where Over 99% Of The Admitted Students Are From 1 Tribe. by PINES: 5:26pm On Sep 20, 2016
There is a high degree of competition in eastern universities; or should I say in universities located in the East? And UNN is one of them. Even the igbos are afraid of going there because your chances of getting the admission are slim. It is no gainsaying that the west as well as the north and south do not have as much competition.
For instance: I sat for UNN's screening three times, and I was not given admission. My first average score there was 207. Second, 241 and Third, 221. I put law the first time and political science the other times. My wish was never granted
But for the first time, I put a southern University, I scored 300 in their screening exercise. My jamb score was 213. And I gained provisional admission under merit (first list).
I trust you understand.

I graduated from that university about 15years ago and I can tell you that authoritatively that every new academic session we used to see the supplementary cut offs for quota system(this comes after the merit list) and in this you see cut off marks for each state pasted in each department.
While you saw states like IMO,anambra,abia and Enugu gets cut off at 245(a few western States like sad Oyo and ogun too at this level),most northern States will have cut off like 130 for the same course. Yet,only very few of them will make it!
Note that this is for the various supplementary lists. The merit list is purely from jamb scores. And that one is pure and unadulterated and that's what you saw.

I normally don't respond to anyone who digresses to insults but made an exception on your case for the sake of many uninformed and over zealous kids who would degenerate this into tribal bigotry without having an iota of idea on how admission processes are structured

Op you are very economically with truth. You probably wrote this with anger because your post is all prejudice.

UNN is situate in my village, both I and my sister weren't able to make UNN even after applying for two years.
My average scores for both years were 224 and 218 but I didn't get Political Science and same is the story for my sis.

But when we tried other schools, I discovered that with my first average in UNN I would have gotten my dream course in many other schools in other parts of the Nigeria. Nobody in my house and my area puts all hope in UNN. That's UNN for you.

Change your mind and begin to think positive and keep trying maybe next year you will make it.
UNN no be beans.
Am happily studying in Benue.

Fools like this op should just be ignored. No need arguing with him because probably he expects the management of UNN to go on their knees begging people from other tribes to apply for admission.

I remember when I first came to Benin, many of my friends from Benin held that erroneous believe that universities in the east don't offer admissions to people from other region except Igbo's. I had to make a bet with some huge amount of money for any of them who could show me one person from Edo who applied to any of those eastern universities, beat the cut off point in both JAMB and PUTME but was denied admission on the grounds that he/she wasn't Igbo. Of course, non of them could provide one person.

Some people in their selfishness will just come up with very biased opinions about a tribe and gullible minds will not try to find out the truth in that opinion before using it against the tribe.

The east is dangerous and na them do runs/sorting pass. I dont think, there are universities in Nigeria like eastern one. Especially, IMSU, ESUT and ABSU (call them osu 3). Them students dont even know, states in this country and many cant spell, speak or write properly.

I almost fainted as Isselu-Ukwu NYSC camp, when one ultra fine babe' could not fill a form ... omo east na die oooh
my brother you might not be lying because it's your personal experience.
where I work a so called graduate from the western could not write an application letter, she cannot even re- write an application given to her to write and she is a westerner.
You like it or not the education system is corrupted with undefendable results.
The average westerner believes in propaganda a northerner in religious Canadian, an Igbo man what comes out of it financially.
I remember when I was looking for admission in unilag to study actuarial science in the list based on highest scores I was number 10 but was never given admission because i am not Yoruba Yoruba.
Then there were only 2 schools that do that in Nigeria unilag and Nnamdi Aziiwe university aka. if I had chosen NAUA I would have been taken.
Come down north here and see worse, take the admission list of Bayero university and see, also take the admission list of OAU, unilag and compare before conclusion OO

funny enough, at least 50% of University of Benin (non igbo university) merit lists are Igbos even with the higher cut off marks given to them.
..

The ugly truth is : Igbos will always dominate if things are done on merit
