As expected. Tobi is likely to be stripped. Whites can't just bear being beaten by blacks.

They are about to rob Tobi of her glory.

Tobi won Gold medal in two major events so it wasn't her

No named was mentioned and you are already calling her out

Global technology giant, Microsoft has appointed a Nigerian as the new head of its Africa transformation office.

Kunle Awosika who has been with the company since 2000 takes over from Wael Elkabbany as the head of the Africa Transformation Office (ATO).

Kunle has held various positions at Microsoft, including being one of the three pioneer team members when Microsoft opened its office in Nigeria.

Reacting to his appointment, Kunle noted that he is devoted to helping Africa to tap into its digital potential.

“I am passionate about Africa’s incredible potential to become a truly connected continent that exports digital goods and services to the rest of the world. I am delighted to have the opportunity to meaningfully impact this growth and help unlock the continent’s full digital potential.”

“I look forward to playing a role in unlocking Africa’s potentials as the ATO develops and steers strategic partnership with governments, international organizations, and partners to accelerate digital transformation agendas and fuel a knowledge-based economy,” he said.

HDI and GDP per capita are a better measurements of good governance than IGR. You cannot tax yourself into prosperity

HDI and GDP per capital

So you believe Anambra people earn more as Income than Lagosians? And beat Lagos that is home of professionals in human development index?

You must be really delusional to compare Lagos to Anambra lol

You must be a crazie to compare Lagos to Anambra lol

What is the population of Anambra?

How many sources of income? Employment opportunities and business opportunities are in Anambra?

What about the Industry? How many Industries are in Anambra compare to Lagos?

What about the Real Estate? What about the economy?

You must be really delusional to believe Anambra beat Lagos in any of the things I listed so why are you beating around the bush when you see the facts staring at you. Even Ogun state and Oyo state are not Anambra's mate when it comes to the things I listed.

tamdun:
Hope the gullible yoruba are reading this, these people will always fight for their own, they do not care if u are a Christian or not,see how dey pushed opaleke out despite being a fellow Christian, they pushed him out just because he's a yoruba man

He is not a Yoruba he is also Igbo like them but they rejected him because he was not from their local government, so they would do worst if he was a Yoruba

inoki247:
They Criticize what dey don't understand

At Least Abia isn't dere what's stopping Abia from Developing


Ogun state sef no dey still dem no get road...

Abia is there check again

Ogun state may also be there that's not all the state

Lol even IPOBians states are using Alpha Beta
If Tinubu lose next year it won't stop his revenue generation company from generating money for your states government in Nigeria because they know quality and the real deal.

blazesam:
That Afghanistan. Those Taliban's should come into USA and fight also win let see bro..... Question is , will they win?

Nigerian soldiers is the opposite

The situation can never be the same, terrorists are difficult to uproot because they are part of the people and population they terrorize, same Reason USA is finding it difficult to contain school shooters and mass shooting because they are Americans, somewhere else they call them terrorists but in USA they are mass shooters and school shooters.

blazesam:
Nawaooo. No wonder boko haram are always fighting. The cars are not bought in US or any of those first and second world countries.

US army used US weapons and equipment and still couldn't eradicate Taliban from Afghanistan in 20 years.

Good Rome wasn't built in a day
Nigeria will get there oneday

Antimarraige:
I thought of this too, if Tinubu could kill Funsho Williams without justice then I fear for our Obi..

and yes Tinubu is behind Funsho Williams death

He was behind funsho Williams death because you were there and saw him ?

If they traced and picked you up for interrogation now you will start wailing, social media has given you the chance to type trash.

Temptee101:
Useless talk

Do Nigerians enjoy one-quarter of what saner climes enjoy?

Tinubu is bad news

Did Europeans just start enjoying what they are enjoying now without any sacrifice? Without tax and development plans? Rome wasn't built in a day

You want to enjoy what the Europeans enjoys without the sacrifice and discipline they inculcate into their system.

Building good school doesn't translate to academic performance although it is one of the factors that contribute to students performance.

redPUSSY:
I thought Yoruba is Yoruba

So you don't see the Pastor name?

Mercy Okocha?

Shuzzi:
In Ogun:
Sat for the exam: 43851
Scored 5 credits and above including English: 24891 (57%)
Scored 5 credits and above including Maths: 27259 (62%)
Average Number: 26075
Average Percentage (performance): 59.5%

In Ebonyi:
Sat for the exam: 14880
Scored 5 credits and above including English: 13788 (93%)
Scored 5 credits and above including Maths: 14067 (95%)
Average Number: 13928
Average Percentage (performance): 94%

Its easy to have higher numbers because you have a higher population.
Like I said no one cares about the numbers but the performance.

Its not about having 100m students the question is how many in the 100m were able to score above credit (i.e their performance)

South west now have higher population lol

How come registered voters in the East is more than South west if you remove Lagos?

It is only you that doesn't care about numbers

The Numbers says South west will always have higher numbers of students gaining admission, higher numbers of graduates gaining employment

[quote author= post=115979866]Out of school children South-east lowest [/quote]You are not current with the latest statistics

Latest statistics Anambra led state with the highest numbers of out of school children

Shuzzi:
Lagos alone has a population of about 23 million (Wikipedia)
So why won't South West have the highest number of students that sat and highest number that passed?

Who cares about numbers/population?
The end result isn't it their performance percentage?

Go and check the chart again

Ogun and Oyo are also among the states with the Highest numbers of students that sat for Waec and the highest numbers of students that passed with 5 credits including English and maths.

This man is more capable than Peter Obi

Unbiased1:
At least read the topic you posted Na. Imo state government is owing Innoson so how is Innoson in debt? Innoson that was able to supply cars to a state government for up to 3 years without getting paid is a strong company. Innoson supplies the Nigerian police, Army, Anambra government, Enugu govt, Imo govt and even Mali.

Read the top post again and understand


“The inability of the state government to pay the N2.5 billion purchase price of the vehicles supplied has resulted in Innoson Vehicles having difficulties in fulfilling its loan repayment obligations to Keystone bank and Bank of Industry,” he said.

“More so, it has led to the loss of profit arising therefrom and the accruing interest.”

Unbiased1:
Elizade imports cars, it does not assemble. NORD motors does not have the kind of market that Innoson has, even the SW governors are focused on patronising Chinese GAC instead of their own NORD. ProForce also does not generate as much money as Innoson, a look at the ProForce factory that looks like a welding workshop says it all.
The South East has Innoson that churns out lots of cars yearly and even their Nnewi factory is no longer enough to meet the demand hence the reason why they are building a new factory in Imo. Peace Mass Transit also assembles its own buses in Enugu. There is still OMAA Company that also assembles vehicles in Anambra and it's also a new indigenous company and they just started rolling out their new products.

Typical Igbo always making claims without fact, the same Innoson that is in debt and finding it difficult to service the debt you are comparing to Proforce that West Africa countries and even United Nation patronized.

Unbiased1:
Lonton is largest distributor of torch light in Nigeria and its CEO is an Igbo man, Peter Chukwudi Ifedia. You can't tell me that you don't have a Lontor reading lamp or torch light in your house. Same applies to UBA, Fidelity, Emzor Pharmaceutical etc. So I don't understand how you guys dominate the Igbos.
Oyo and Ogun have the highest number of students that passed and FAILED than Enugu, Ebonyi and Abia combined.

I hardly find any information about Lonton CEO online

Yoruba dominate when it come to CEO of banks in Nigeria, check https://cibng.org/bank-directory

Don't let me even start mentioning companies with Yoruba Ceo

Don't forget that those that failed Waec in those states might also done other exams like Neco and NABTEB to supplement it but the crust is having higher numbers of those that passed with 5 credits in Waec.

vincentjk:
We aren't bitter bro

Far from boasting and making mouth, igbos built the largest market in west Africa which is situated in onitsha from scratch, you need to visit this market and see the revenue being pulled there each day.

The largest truck spare parts market in africa is also in Anambra, many people haven't heard this tho. It's called mgbuka, to mention but a few.

If igbos aren't hardworking and focused they wouldn't be able to achieve all these after having a ravaged region due to the civil war.

In the whole of the 36 states in the country, igbos are dominating the market in distributing, wholesale and retail sales while the indigenes consume. I was raised in the north amongst hausas that's why I like hausa people so much because they accommodate and transact business with me but I'll have to tell the obvious truth no matter how it may sound.

Major distributors of dangote goods are from most parts of the country but you need to see what igbo distributors are doing for him. I know because as a retailer, I buy cement in trucks from them.

Who proclaimed markets in Onitsha as the biggest in Africa?

Where are the statistics and figures to back it up?

Unbiased1:
Lol. Yoruba domination? Lol. Even in your Lagos, do you know how many companies have South Easterners as their CEOs? Do I also remind you that there are Igbo students who also make up the list of students that passed from the South West and will also be gaining admission like you said? The surprising thing here is that you guys in the SW are not even concerned about the terrible performance of the public schools in your region despite boasting about free education bla bla bla. Public school education in the East is much better than what I am seeing from the South West.
As for that admission, most of the students who wrote exams in the SE will definitely be applying to go to Universities in the East and the Eastern Universities will give them priority over students from other regions based on catchment area so your analysis is flawed.

Mention those companies with Igbo CEO lol

Even the CEO of Gala and Bigi drinks companies that Igbo hawks in Lagos traffic are Yorubas

Oyo and Ogun also have the highest numbers of students that passed with 5 credits including English and maths and highest numbers that sat for Waec, I thought Igbo are only plenty in Lagos only when did Ogun and Oyo also become no man's land?

vincentjk:
Believe it or not.

When I was schooling in nasarawa state, most competitions weren't won by the indigenes, in fact looking at results, one will think the schools are situated in between southsouth/south east.

I'm not making mouth bro rather telling you pure facts, go to schools in kaduna, abuja, jos, nasarawa... And see for yourself.

We are leaving our region to settle in every single region in the world because we are hustlers, if you think we are running away, maybe you need to visit the east and see things for yourself.

So you are the only hustlers in Nigeria?

Which type of work are you guys doing that you can't do in your region if your economy is buoyant?

Well you can't blame other regions for that, stop claiming every positives development of other regions.

Whenever there is any negative things about South west you guys would forget that there are many Igbo in South west then and wouldn't hesitate to gloat and mock South west but you want to claim every positive development of South west. How is that Possible? only bitter and jealous people does that

Unbiased1:
Anambra had a pass rate of 91.23% in public schools and 92.84% in private schools.
Enugu had a pass rate of 93.9% in public schools which is highest pass rate in public schools in Nigeria and had 91.2% in private schools.

Now compare the results above to the following:

Lagos: 75.83% for public schools and 87.64% in private schools
Ogun: 55.19% for public schools and 93.05% in private schools
Osun: 32.55% for public schools and 65.99% in private schools
Oyo: 54.77% for public schools and 79.93% in private schools

You are really delusional, you keep boasting about pass percentage and forget that Lagos, Ogun and Oyo have the highest numbers of students that sat for Waec more than any state in South East and also the highest numbers of students that passed with 5 credits including English and maths.

Which means more students will be gaining admission in South west, later graduating and getting corporate jobs. After that you guys will cry marginalization because of Yoruba domination

Unbiased1:
Check the full list well and do your calculations, the South West also has the highest number of students that failed the exam. Look at the list that has the State by state breakdown and see how useless the public schools in the south west are. Please upload the pictures that have the full list of states and their performance in both public and private schools to see how students from the South West failed.

The crust of the matter is that South west also have the highest numbers of students that passed with 5 credits including English and maths which means that South west we also have more students gaining admission into higher institutions, later graduating and getting corporate jobs, after that you guys will cry marginalization because of Yoruba domination.

vincentjk:
Don't also forget that their are a handful of south easterners residing in the south west.

Every school in the south west must've people from the east schooling there and south southerners as well.

So they help make up the figure you just posted.

SE/SS people there could not be more than 15%

Also Oyo and Ogun state are among the top 3 states with most students that sat for Waec and also those that passed with 5 credits including English and maths.

Is that also the reason why North Central also have the highest numbers of students that sat for Waec and passed more than South East?

You always want to claim every positive things about South west, South west is not the reason why you guys are trooping out of your region like it is barren.

AmehTsaev:
No South West states among the top 10, even Ebonyi of yesterday made the top 10 list...Awolowo must be rolling in his grave right now, so much for free education.

Gloating on propaganda

4 out of the 5 states of the people they call 5ive percenters made the list and imo should be sitting on 11 or 12 position, that's commendable.


Isn't it surprising to say that Peter obi will win in these 10 states up here?

Any right thinking people will always vote a good leader for the bettermenet of education as well.
