Lol bros, u dey chest beat about ur secondary education performance. Make we yan university level na. Don't deviate too abeg. All na still education.

you are getting it all wrong by using university ranking. you should talk about achievement of people from the different states irrespective of which university they are. FG can pump money to any university they deem fit irrespective of the academic performance of that region

I personally know two girls studying medicine in UI all the way from Imo,everything on nairaland is now competition.... God help us I hope

Am brother, I don tire 4 these people oo

Brother mesef tire oooo.

The real deal is not wassce, many have passed wassce without gaining admission into any tertiary institution.

While some will gain admission but won't be able to cope in the higher institution.

So leave them let them celebrate primary school and secondary school achievements.

Olabisi onabanjo university in ogun state is currently the best State University in Nigeria. Their students are the best in law schools.
A Yoruba holds the record of the highest graduating CGPA.

South west universities are top ranked.

Even none of their polytechnics can be compared to yabatech.


Just leave them, let them enjoy wassce results.

During my days in secondary school.

Abeokuta grammar school, Baptist boys high school, African church grammar school, Mayflower ikenne, iganmode grammar school Ota, abeokuta girls grammar school were all fighting over the overall best student in west Africa not even in Nigeria oooo. And all these schools have produced overall best student each.. Abeograms have produced more than five times, BBHS more than four times. Afrograms produced once so also AGGS and others.

My brother leave them make them enjoy.. Na their time

Atleast one of them told you they have caught up with us, that means they have already agreed south west were better.. .so let them Continue to play catch up

old news! this is 2015 result.

Southeast has been leading in Education since 1996


[b]From 1996 when the late military dictator, Sani Abacha, created 36 states out of Nigeria, the three states that have been producing the highest number of applicants in the examination organised by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board have been Imo, Anambra and Delta.
The Guardian of August 26, 1999, page 31, had some statistics about the 1999 UTME examination. It showed that the six states with the highest number of applications were: Imo (44,274), Delta (36,375), Anambra (34,206), Ogun (33,375), Edo (29,057), and Osun (22,950). Conversely, the states that produced the least number of candidates were all Northern states: Borno (1,572), Katsina (1,054), Taraba (882), Sokoto (782), Kebbi (794), and Yobe (535). The Registrar of JAMB then, Prof. Bello Ahmad Salim, lamented the poor showing of the Northern states, noting that the 65,000 applications from the 19 states of the North were just 20,726 higher than the number of applications from only Imo State. If Imo and Delta states’ applications were combined, that would amount to 80,649 applications: over 15,000 higher than the applications from the 19 states of the North.
In 2007, The Guardian newspaper of June 1, page 3, published the results of the 2007 University Matriculation Examination. The top six states with the highest number of candidates were Imo (93,065), Anambra (64,689), Delta (61,580), Edo (57,754), Akwa Ibom (47,928), and Ogun (47,227). The last six were: Kebbi (4,682), Sokoto (3,925), Taraba (3,832), Zamfara (2,904), Jigawa (2,541), and Yobe (2,516).

For the 2012 results released by JAMB and published by Vanguard of March 31, the top five states were: Imo (123,865), Delta (88,876), Anambra (84,204), Osun (73,935), Oyo (71,272). The least five states were: Jigawa (11,529), Kebbi (7,364), Yobe (6,389), Zamfara (5,713), and Sokoto (5,664).[/b][/quote]stop posting rubbish on this forum. the waec result is that of 2015

wristbangle:
This year's result shows tremendous improvement from SW states. Though I admit our standard of Education has fallen because most of the state governments ain't investing much in the sector hereby discouraging teachers to perform their duty effectively. It's a wake up call for us in South west and this Is why the latest result released by NECO shows ekiti took the lead. Gradually we will reclaim our spot in Education sector.

the result the op posted is for 2015.

[quote author= post=51165897]Education: Why South-West and North should be worried

Last week, the 2015 West African Senior School Certificate of Education result was released. The Punch chose to publish the story with an attention-grabbing headline: “Again, South-East leads in the WASSCE performance chart.” The report showed that Abia State dethroned Anambra. The states were ranked according to the percentage that had a minimum of five credits, including in English Language and Mathematics.
But the surprise in the report was that almost like in 2014, no South-West state except Lagos was on the top 10 of the chart. The top 10 states were the five South-East states, four South-South states and Lagos: 1st – Abia (63.94 per cent), 2nd – Anambra (61.18 per cent), 3rd – Edo, 4th – Rivers, 5th – Imo, 6th – Lagos, 7th – Bayelsa, 8th – Delta, 9th – Enugu, and 10th – Ebonyi. Ekiti was 11th; Ondo was 13th; Ogun was 19th; Oyo was 26th; while Osun was 29th. In 2014, the top 10 states were similar: Anambra (65.92 per cent), Abia (58.52 per cent), Edo (57.82 per cent), Bayelsa (52.83 per cent), Rivers (52.78 per cent), Enugu (51.91 per cent), Lagos (45.66 per cent), Imo (40.64 per cent), Delta (40.12 per cent), Kaduna (36.12 per cent). Ebonyi was 11th with 36.05 per cent.

For 2014, the states with the least performance were Northern states: They were Yobe (36th), Zamfara (35th), Jigawa (34th), Gombe (33rd), Katsina (32nd), Kebbi (31st) Bauchi (30th), and Sokoto (29th). In 2013, the result was similar: 28th – Katsina (10.45 per cent), 29th – Adamawa (8.75 per cent), 30th – Jigawa (7.47 per cent), 31st – Sokoto (7.12 per cent), 32nd – Zamfara (6.65 per cent), 33rd – Kebbi (6.30 per cent), 34th – Gombe (5.68 per cent), 35th – Bauchi (5.28 per cent), and 36th – Yobe (4.85 per cent).

Someone from the South-East or South-South could see it as a reason for chest-thumping, but for me, it portends grave danger. Why do I say so? I will explain shortly.
Those who had not been following the trend in education could dismiss this as a flash in the pan. But it is not so. I have followed the trend since the late 1980s. From 1996 when the late military dictator, Sani Abacha, created 36 states out of Nigeria, the three states that have been producing the highest number of applicants in the examination organised by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board have been Imo, Anambra and Delta.
The Guardian of August 26, 1999, page 31, had some statistics about the 1999 UTME examination. It showed that the six states with the highest number of applications were: Imo (44,274), Delta (36,375), Anambra (34,206), Ogun (33,375), Edo (29,057), and Osun (22,950). Conversely, the states that produced the least number of candidates were all Northern states: Borno (1,572), Katsina (1,054), Taraba (882), Sokoto (782), Kebbi (794), and Yobe (535). The Registrar of JAMB then, Prof. Bello Ahmad Salim, lamented the poor showing of the Northern states, noting that the 65,000 applications from the 19 states of the North were just 20,726 higher than the number of applications from only Imo State. If Imo and Delta states’ applications were combined, that would amount to 80,649 applications: over 15,000 higher than the applications from the 19 states of the North.
In 2007, The Guardian newspaper of June 1, page 3, published the results of the 2007 University Matriculation Examination. The top six states with the highest number of candidates were Imo (93,065), Anambra (64,689), Delta (61,580), Edo (57,754), Akwa Ibom (47,928), and Ogun (47,227). The last six were: Kebbi (4,682), Sokoto (3,925), Taraba (3,832), Zamfara (2,904), Jigawa (2,541), and Yobe (2,516).

For the 2012 results released by JAMB and published by Vanguard of March 31, the top five states were: Imo (123,865), Delta (88,876), Anambra (84,204), Osun (73,935), Oyo (71,272). The least five states were: Jigawa (11,529), Kebbi (7,364), Yobe (6,389), Zamfara (5,713),
and Sokoto (5,664).

In the Unity School admission of 2013, the states that got the highest cut-off marks were:
Anambra – Male (139) Female (139)
Imo – Male (138) Female (138)
Enugu – Male (134) Female (134)
Lagos – Male (133) Female (133)
Delta – Male (131) Female (131)
Ogun – Male(131) Female(131)
Abia – Male (130) Female (130).
The states that got the lowest cut-off scores were: Zamfara – Male (four) Female (two); Yobe – Male (two) Female (27); Taraba – Male (three) Female (11); Sokoto – Male (nine) Female (13); Kebbi – Male (nine) Female (20); Bauchi – Male (35) Female (35).

So, for those from the South-West and North who may give the excuse of the South-East and South-South states getting these results by the help of “special centres,” it is a case of trying to hide behind a finger. Instructively, the South-West, which was the first to receive Western education, and was ahead in education, has lost its place in education in Nigeria. Something is killing the interest of the South-West children in education. The six South-West states need to see this as an emergency that transcends party affiliation. This scenario is a source of danger because the South-East and South-West have been counter forces to each other. Whatever feat the South-West produces, the South-East counters it, and vice versa. We can see it in the literary feats of Chinua Achebe and Wole Soyinka, the football feats of Shooting Stars and Rangers, the political feats of Nnamdi Azikiwe and Obafemi Awolowo, the academic feats of University of Nigeria, Nsukka and University of Ife, Ile-Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University), and so on. This healthy rivalry enhances stability, peace and growth in the nation.
But if this downward trend continues, in future, that balancing of forces between the South-West and the South-East will no longer exist. And given that the indigenes of the South-East and the South-South dwell in large numbers in the South-West, a time will come when the South-West could feel angry that the indigenes of the South-East and South-South are taking over positions that the South-West indigenes should occupy in the South-West. This may cause problems as witnessed in the xenophobic attacks in South Africa last year. So, it is in the interest of all that the South-West stage a come-back in education.
The case of the North is scarier. Many commentators keep quiet about this worrisome issue because of political correctness, but only someone who loves you can tell you that you have mouth odour. It is dangerous that there are 10 million youths in the North with no formal education.

If you know the kind of malpractice going on in the east ehn!! I served in Anambra state. In a school where all you need to pass is to pay the school levy(which is a meagre sum by the way). You can decide not to come to school till the next term self.
Of course there are bright lads over there, but I'm certain those figures exaggerates the level of education in the east.

Teen gets accepted by all eight Ivy League schools

By Gabrielle Sorto, Special to CNN

Story highlights
This is the second year an Elmont Memorial High School student has been accepted to all eight Ivy League schools.
Augusta Uwamanzu-Nna plans to pursue a science-related major.


(CNN) — There must be something in the water at Elmont Memorial High School.

For the second year in a row, an Elmont Memorial High School student has been accepted to all eight Ivy League schools. Last year, the Long Island high school's salutatorian Harold Ekeh chose to attend Yale University after having his pick of all eight Ivy League schools. This year, Augusta Uwamanzu-Nna, Elmont's valedictorian, will face the same decision.

"Having two students get accepted into all eight Ivy League institutions in back-to-back years is humbling but also speaks to the incredible commitment to children by the families and staff within the EMHS Community," said Kevin Dougherty, Elmont Memorial High School principal.

Teen accepted by all 8 Ivy League schools chooses Yale

Uwamanzu-Nna was also accepted to the four additional schools to which she applied. The experience has been surreal, Uwamanzu-Nna said in a press release.


"My recent accomplishments reflect the hardworking ideals of the town of Elmont, my supportive parents and my dedicated teachers. I am elated, but most importantly, I am thankful," she said.



Ekeh and Uwamanzu-Nna are both Nigerian. Ekeh was born in Nigeria and came to the United States when he was 8. Uwamanzu-Nna is the daughter of Nigerian immigrants.

"Though I was born here in America, I visited Nigeria many times," Uwamanzu-Nna told CNN affiliate WABC. "And I've seen that my cousins don't have the same opportunities that I have. So definitely, whatever I do, I want to make sure that it has an impact on Nigeria."

Uwamanzu-Nna plans to pursue a science-related major. She was a finalist in the 2016 Intel Science Talent Search for her research on cement that could help prevent underwater oil rigs from rupturing. On Monday, she received an invitation to the White House Science Fair.

She is hoping to attend a school where she is able to combine her varied scientific interests, which include biochemistry and environmental studies, she said in the press release.

There are no secrets to academic success, she said. Her 101.64 weighted GPA was earned through hard work.

"I've struggled with numerous classes in the past," Uwamanzu-Nna told WABC. "But I guess what allowed me to be successful ... is my persistence and my tenacity."

Uwamanzu-Nna hasn't made a final decision on what school she will attend, but with acceptance to 12 schools, she has a tough decision to make.




http://edition.cnn.com/2016/04/05/us/ivy-league-student-2016-irpt/index.html


High school senior Harold Ekeh didn't just get into one Ivy League university. He was accepted into all eight.
Now comes the really hard part: Deciding where to go. He actually got into all 13 schools he applied to, including MIT and Johns Hopkins.

Ekeh was born in Nigeria and came to the United States when he was eight. He wrote his main college essay about the struggle to adjust, including being clueless in U.S. history classes at school. He said he would ask his parents repeatedly why they moved.

"We had a fairly comfortable life in Nigeria, but they told me we moved to America for the opportunities like the educational opportunities," he recalled.

He wants to major in neurobiology or chemistry in college and later become doctor and, ultimately, a neurosurgeon. He was named a 2015 Intel Science Talent Search semifinalist earlier this year for his research on how the acid DHA can slow Alzheimer's.

For Ekeh, the cause is personal. His grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's when he was 11. One of his proudest moments was running home to tell his mother and aunts about the breakthroughs he was finding with DHA.

Outside of the lab, Ekeh directs a youth choir at his church, plays the drums, is part of Key Club and Model UN and was elected to the Homecoming court. He speaks Igbo and Spanish and has a 100.5% GPA.

On March 31 2016, Chioma Onuoha learned she got admission into not one but THREE Ivy League schools-Harvard University, University of Pennysylvania and Princeton University. It is a great feat because Ivy League schools are hard to get into.


Sharing the wonderful news on twitter along with her admission letters, Ms Onuoha wrote:

"I 'm in complete shock #Harvard20 #UPenn20 #Princeton"

She has been receiving congratulatory messages from friends, family and twitter users.

This is the second year an Elmont Memorial High School student has been accepted to all eight Ivy League schools.
Augusta Uwamanzu-Nna plans to pursue a science-related major.


(CNN) — There must be something in the water at Elmont Memorial High School.

For the second year in a row, an Elmont Memorial High School student has been accepted to all eight Ivy League schools. Last year, the Long Island high school's salutatorian Harold Ekeh chose to attend Yale University after having his pick of all eight Ivy League schools. This year, Augusta Uwamanzu-Nna, Elmont's valedictorian, will face the same decision.

"Having two students get accepted into all eight Ivy League institutions in back-to-back years is humbling but also speaks to the incredible commitment to children by the families and staff within the EMHS Community," said Kevin Dougherty, Elmont Memorial High School principal.

Uwamanzu-Nna was also accepted to the four additional schools to which she applied. The experience has been surreal, Uwamanzu-Nna said in a press release.


"My recent accomplishments reflect the hardworking ideals of the town of Elmont, my supportive parents and my dedicated teachers. I am elated, but most importantly, I am thankful," she said.



Ekeh and Uwamanzu-Nna are both Nigerian. Ekeh was born in Nigeria and came to the United States when he was 8. Uwamanzu-Nna is the daughter of Nigerian immigrants.

"Though I was born here in America, I visited Nigeria many times," Uwamanzu-Nna told CNN affiliate WABC. "And I've seen that my cousins don't have the same opportunities that I have. So definitely, whatever I do, I want to make sure that it has an impact on Nigeria."

Uwamanzu-Nna plans to pursue a science-related major. She was a finalist in the 2016 Intel Science Talent Search for her research on cement that could help prevent underwater oil rigs from rupturing. On Monday, she received an invitation to the White House Science Fair.

She is hoping to attend a school where she is able to combine her varied scientific interests, which include biochemistry and environmental studies, she said in the press release.

There are no secrets to academic success, she said. Her 101.64 weighted GPA was earned through hard work.

"I've struggled with numerous classes in the past," Uwamanzu-Nna told WABC. "But I guess what allowed me to be successful ... is my persistence and my tenacity."

Uwamanzu-Nna hasn't made a final decision on what school she will attend, but with acceptance to 12 schools, she has a tough decision to make.

High school senior Harold Ekeh didn't just get into one Ivy League university. He was accepted into all eight.
Now comes the really hard part: Deciding where to go. He actually got into all 13 schools he applied to, including MIT and Johns Hopkins.

Ekeh was born in Nigeria and came to the United States when he was eight. He wrote his main college essay about the struggle to adjust, including being clueless in U.S. history classes at school. He said he would ask his parents repeatedly why they moved.

"We had a fairly comfortable life in Nigeria, but they told me we moved to America for the opportunities like the educational opportunities," he recalled.

He wants to major in neurobiology or chemistry in college and later become doctor and, ultimately, a neurosurgeon. He was named a 2015 Intel Science Talent Search semifinalist earlier this year for his research on how the acid DHA can slow Alzheimer's.

For Ekeh, the cause is personal. His grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's when he was 11. One of his proudest moments was running home to tell his mother and aunts about the breakthroughs he was finding with DHA.

Outside of the lab, Ekeh directs a youth choir at his church, plays the drums, is part of Key Club and Model UN and was elected to the Homecoming court. He speaks Igbo and Spanish and has a 100.5% GPA.

On March 31 2016, Chioma Onuoha learned she got admission into not one but THREE Ivy League schools-Harvard University, University of Pennysylvania and Princeton University. It is a great feat because Ivy League schools are hard to get into.


Sharing the wonderful news on twitter along with her admission letters, Ms Onuoha wrote:

"I 'm in complete shock #Harvard20 #UPenn20 #Princeton"

She has been receiving congratulatory messages from friends, family and twitter users.

Congrats Chioma!!!

US studies show igbos to be the most brilliant african ethnic group, check the pics

all the advantage yorubas took because of the war is now over, they are hoping on Buhari administration to help prop them up again but it aint happening

Chai, too long mehn.. Unfortunately no time to respond to all these fabricated stats

Okay, we don hear, UNN is better than UI and OAU. shey be that's what you want to hear abi

You can accept whatever ranking but no state is as good as Lagos State educationally.

fabricated ke?? the websites are included for verification. stop thinking you own UI and OAU while igbos own UNN, you are limiting yourself. we all own the world equally. people like ogbonnaya onu and willie obiano are UNILAg first class, Okezie Ikpazu is University Of maiduguri PHD holder

wristbangle:
Lol no mind am. Why him no show us 2016 statistics na. We all knew 2014 and 2015 belongs to SE in education.

Even 2016,igbos have it in the waec.
Unless you are talking about Ekiti neco.
Una Fit take neco sha

wristbangle:
Did I mention anything that involves malpractice? Even if we want to discuss that, such ill practice is everywhere but the pendulum swings more in some region and we all know which region falls the major culprit.

Pendulum swings to the west.
The only region in the south that doesn't conduct class positions termly.
Each year, students in SW public schools move to the next class spontaneously

bros i noticed this while serving in Ekiti. people don't fail. i was surprised

[quote author= post=51171266]it's hard for you to comprehend Southeast produce highest numbers of undergraduates, large number of them are admitted in Nigeria high institutions not just in the east, when states like Imo produced (93,065), Anambra (64,689), Delta (61,580), Edo (57,754), Akwa Ibom (47,928), that performed HIGHER in JAMB than their counterpart in north and west large number of them are favored in federal institutions in west and North, unlike West and North in eastern institutions, Top universities has never been used to measure regional performance in education, no credible board that supervise universities rating in Nigeria[/quote]Imo has the highest number of professors in Nigeria.
It means that as they write jamb in large numbers, they also graduate in large numbers

Unn produced the guy that won the highest American award in medicine recently.
So much for a substandard university, in your terms

This thread is just "sweeting" me.
Chai! O ka ife nlacha si ato?

Arunma Oteh, world bank VP is a UNN alumni. ranking or no ranking an intelligent person is intelligent, even though their nigeria ranking reeks of amala and ewedu

wristbangle:
Do you have statistics to show the number of SE students admitted in SW universities against the number of SW students admitted in SE region?

See whether the statistics favours SE or not, the quality of university education in your region can never meet that of SW. You may have higher number of graduates from your region but the quality of these graduates at labour market is a far cry from what we actually expect.

So tell me why a SW student will go to a region with lesser education quality when the best in the nation is concentrated at SW region. Abi wetin person wan go for Awka university when UI, OAU, FUNAAB, UNILAG, UNILORIN, etc dey here?

UNIVERSITY OF NIGERIA
FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY OWERRI
UNI ZIK
UNIVERSITY OF CALABAR
University of Agriculture Umudike
UNIVERSITY OF PORT HARCOURT
Most of the Universities in the West are living on past glories

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Imo has the highest number of professors in Nigeria.

Exactly... Most Igbos in Uniosun are from Imo and Anambra state.
