JAMB should even be scrapped. Most stakeholders understand that.

I got admitted into Oklahoma State University, USA, years ago after my SSCE. I didn't write any foreign exam whatsoever to gain the admission. I later wrote SAT just for scholarship.

Nigerian education system na big trash!

you see. Nigeria is the only place where you write three exams just to gain admission

This man is very correct. you don't write any exam again abroad provided you have your five o level credits, but here after spending six years to write waec you will still jamb and write post UTME again. haba una wan kill persin

From the recently concluded policy making meeting, and the eventual release of cut off Mark by jamb, it will be observed that the inferiority of HND to Bsc is caused by the govt not employers.If not why will the cut off Mark of universities be 120 and polytechnics 100.If the govt wants employers to rate HND the same as Bsc,the cut off Mark for admission should be uniform between universities and polytechnics

armadeo:
Rubbish.

Any score below 50% of the total is complete nonsense for any ReaSon. If only one person passes then he should gain admission others should come back next year

This is what happens when standards are compromised. We then get half baked graduates who don't know their left from right. After all they hold a certificate.

Nairaland topic be like see corpers statement on the social media or see graduate's application letter.

Let's call a spade a spade.

If you support this then go learn a trade you shouldn't be educated.

Nonsense

Modified..

The dude above me is very funny. An examination body tells you not to admit anyone who scores below 25%. Does that make sense?

The registrar or whoever came to this decision should be fired for incompetence.

You that is educated, look at your use of English

Nijablog:

dimeji877:
Its the norm
If u mention Jesus (peace be upon him) and other prophet of God, its the norm to chant this short prayer for them.

I thought it's Koranic

Good evening all, please for a long time now, i always observe that any time Mohammed name is mentioned, peace be upon him is always attached. why?

At home, you can't sleep without switching off your small radio to silence the atmosphere but you can sleep in the church with 8 speakers blasting in your ear... It is called "Demonic software".
Repeat after me.....
Demonic software!!!

Patriotic Nigerian

God bless our country

I have been monitoring your post for a long time and have discovered that you are one of the problems of this country. can't you reason?

Hmm the world is really ending ooo.Till now i don't still know the person even with the name

nextstep:
To be honest, the tuition is worth 1Mil. (about $3000 USD). The cheapest public universities in US start at $9000 or so; UC Berkely, at a higher end is $50,000 for tuition and fees for non-residents. Public, not private. 1 Mil is a minimum to employ good professors, pay for electricity (gen) and other going concerns, get and maintain standard equipment, computers, libraries, buildings, security, groundskeeping, etc. This is for quality education that is recognized worldwide.

The alternative is that parents spend upwards of $20,000 USD to send children abroad to get that same quality.

Our public universities have been heavily subsidized for so long that they mask the true cost of education in today's world. I'm not saying subsidization of education is a bad thing, but the government has proven its incompetence to provide services of value.

oga did you consider the value of money. if our fees should be #20,000 because naira is our currently, $1000 is nothing there but something here. so if you want rate school fees use naira not another country's currency that is cheap for them there

debbycreamy:
hmmm its confusing buh give your maths teacher to solve it na
I will go with 9 or maybe 6

the blood of jeroboam!, you mean you don't know the correct answer?

Sometimes i wonder what kind of government we have. why will they sign an agreement they can't keep? OK let's say the signing of the agreement was done by the previous administration, why has this present administration not called a meeting to look into the agreement considering the economic challenges? The answer is simple. it's because they don't care about education, it's none of their business.A state governor once said any sector that is not generating revenue for the government is not worth his attention. And education is the sector he was referring to because he said it when there was strike in the university

Wizklynd23:
C yhu!! your even a aspirant self!!! Sha what u said is true but what can we do about it. If we go on a protest now they will bring policemen to torment us... Well I can't blame ASUU even for ones, because this are higly educated pple involve before they should making such conclusion I believe they must had series of talk which they belive watever will come thereafterward will favour there actions...I just pray this strike mey e no last upto to 2 week..... Well 4 the main time make i rest while I see wat will happen between ASUU and FG...

am just weak because of the strike

As i write this piece tears is dropping from my eyes. This country has been paralyzed totally, the wickedness of humans is unbecoming. We have a government, people we stood under the sun for hours to vote for, yet they will sit down and watch and allow ASUU declare an indefinite strike because their children are not involved, what a wicked government, a government without conscience.They send their children abroad and they see how a school calendar is,continuous.But here in Nigeria is none of their business.The cause of GOD almighty will always be with them. am an aspirant, i don't even know when we will be given admission. I also blame the USELESS SUG across all the universities, youth that should stand for justice have turned themselves to thugs fighting among themselves because of money.It is a time like this that the SUG $NANS stands for the students future,protesting peacefully and preventing all government activities until the strike is called off, even if it means preventing the president (acting),governors from going out, stopping the national assembly from sitting.
THIS IS PURE WICKEDNESS
the heart of men is filled with evil when the one i call a pastor heading the nation's affairs currently. please forgive any grammatical error (s)

Destined2win:

You are 28 and she is 18

You have graduated without a job while she is still in school

Her parents are in the US while yours are retired

And you are still asking us what you can do? To slap you just dey hungry me


Love is never enough for marriage. Marriage needs to be planned for or prepared for. You need to find a direction for yourself and show it as a proof to the world. How can a man give out his 18-year old daughter to an unemployed 28-year old man, simply because he loves her?

i crave your indulgence to please allow me to faint
