Wrong question, is the typical Yoruba person capable of selling their soul to the devil just to be side kicks to Northerners?
Ask Tinubu, ask the Yoruba elders who went to receive Abacha handout after the death of Abiola, ask Osinbajo...

You just earned yourself a ban for bigotry over a matter that was not tribal.

Even Sowore is an Ijaw man from Ondo, but you just had to show us what traumatizes your family most.

May her soul rest in peace.

Can't the friend be a civilian? They are not mutually exclusive and there's nothing contradictory there.

Secondly, they didn't say that the driver dropped her friends. They said that the driver gave she and her friends a lift, but they only said that the driver dropped her off when the incident happened.

You actually think too highly of the comprehension skills of Nigerians.

Many used to score so low in that type of weekly assignment for English studies in primary and secondary schools. Just a 1 page comprehension passage with answers to the questions lying in plain sight, would still be bungled.

Nbotee need to return to school and correct his past failings.

helinues:
The only condition Apc can give their presidency to SE is only when 5 big central mosques each are erected in the 5 SE states...

Hahahaha.

If Christian Igbos can become Jews because they want support of an Israel that is still fighting for its own international boundary, they can as well become fervent Muslims to be considered by the Islamizing Janja.weed APC.

fulanimafia:
That's how to do it Ndigbo.

Demand your ticket from the PDP.

Don't take No for an answer.

You deserve it.

Hahahaha!

Ewedu party has turned to their only hope in 2023.

The Islamization agenda of the Janja.weed party is about the be embraced for the sake of 2023 presidency.

This is the humiliation of ignorant arrogance.

Village people!

They can strike with any weapon.

He enjoyed the wealth of many, he must likewise suffer the agony of the many.

OP has successfully closed the case on this matter.

Anyone who claims any contrary narrative, should provide the release orders issued by Ojukwu.

Osagyefo98:
I submitted based on his statement.

So he has cancelled himself out early

Whose statement? Did you see any statement credited to Osinbajo?

“I’m his spokesperson and we have not talked about what he is going to do in 2023. What’s the point?”

Even the aide talking said they've not discussed such, not that he has said he will not contest.

The headline was deliberately crafted for simple minds like yours.

Only problem is such simple minds will later make reference to their own poor comprehension, and when asked to give evidence of their claim, they will provide you with the same false news headlines a la Buhari promised to make $1 equal to N1.

Ok

Nigeriabiafra80:
Now you can attest that south east have high intelligent quotient to its counterparts hence the high cut off mark now
Save this in ya brain

Did anyone ever say the SouthEast was the dullest in Nigeria?

Besides the Biafran almajiri zombified miscreants who cannot reason and are always ready to swallow their own propaganda, the rest have good heads on their shoulders.

At least you go away with a consolation to still chest beat over, but I know you would have preferred to be seen as a victim of federal marginalization.

Nigeriabiafra80:
Am sorry to tell you
I have no such time to waste reading these nonsense
Please try use your time for something profitable

Be sorry for yourself and your zombified ignorance.

You will never appreciate any enlightenment that robs you of your opportunity to wail as a victim.

You love being a victim - it is a pathological obsession. Find your fellow sorrowful wailers and console each other over a failure to take what belong to others.

As in a lot of Ignorant people exist in this country. They just see cut-off mark and run online to talk without knowing the reason.

However in some part of the North, I can only but weep for those guys coz how do we reconcile a whole state having 2 as cut-off mark? Are they not even ashamed to fix that kind of mark. So we mean a state can't have students that will score an average of even 50 in exams into unity school.

I think looking at those states with low cut-off mark, the southerners will dominate the schools because they have to satisfy the 30-60% requirement of students from other zone or states.

Gowon's dream when he created it was to foster unity which explained why they had to make sure it accommodates every Nigerians.

You have said it all and educated the ignorant Biafran who was already poised for battle.

I hope he will allow the education percolate his ignorance.

Nigeriabiafra80:
A cockroach will always be guilty in court of lizard
I don’t expect you to condemn that ,cos your hatred for Biafra is soo rooted that you won’t mind loosing your life just to see they don’t get what they want
While dying slowly from ya slavery

Your problem is that you see a competition where there is none.

Let me come down to the basic level of your zombified and bigoted Biafran logic.

The federal Unity Schools Programme is a contributory system where each state sends delegates to represent them in the objective of the federal government to engender unity among Nigerian kids, as a aftermath of the Nigerian civil war.

Anambra, Lagos, Kano, Yobe, etc have the specified number of delegates to provide the federal government to achieve the objective set out. For every student who participates, you get a fairly sound education that is heavily subsidized.

Anambra has a high cut off because a lot of very bright students are jostling for the slots of student delegates already available to Anambra even before the exams were set, which is called the state quota. The cut off mark set is just the margin that allows the state to screen off the rest who will not have any slot to occupy in the Anambra team of delegates.

Yobe has a low cut off because very few and academically poor students are jostling for the slots of student delegates available to Yobe even before the exams were set.

From experience, Yobe will never be able to meet up with its number of allocated student delegates, because even those who score above 2 will not be interested in furthering their education, while a sizeable number will proceed to better private schools as it also happens in the South.

So sheathe your sword and stop agonizing over a marginalization that does not exist in this specific matter.

Let Chinedu and Segun who did not make the cut off set by Anambra and Ogun, proceed to other schools and continue their education.

It is not the end of their academic exploits that they could not be delegates to the Unity programme, while Mairuwa made the delegate slot of Yobe with only a score of 2.

At the end of the day, the Federal Government has ensured that each state sent delegates to achieve the unity agenda amongst a diverse people.

Stop wailing over what was never yours.

trutharena:
Let me educate you guys:

Why was Unity School Established?
To foster national unity through the interactions of pupils from different part of the country.

What is the mode of admission?
Admission into unity schools is based on a quota system; 30% of candidates are selected on merit irrespective of their state of origin; another 30% from other states; then 30% from the host state; and the final 10% are admitted based on exigency.

So based on this the scores does not matter much because 60% of students will be chosen on merit from the other states in any host states. That means the school in Borno will still be dominated by at least 60% of students from other part of Nigeria with the cut off mark and will be based on merit.

Why do some states have high cut-off mark?
Excluding the educationally disadvantaged North, other states have cut-off mark to reflect sometimes the population of student and number of schools in the zone. If for example 20,000 students scores 140 in a zone with more schools, the cut off mark will be lower since there are extra school to accomodate them. If the 20,000 student scores 140 in a zone with lesser school, the the cut-off mark need to be raised reduce number of students to enter the scool.

Number of Unity Schools By Zone:
NC: 24
SW: 18
NW:18
NE: 15
SS: 17
SE:12

So SE with that much population and few unity schools will have a high cut-off mark that their counterparts. Especially when talking about the South.

Note: Some Northern state are anomalies and nothing can justify a state having just 2 as cut-off mark. I am as shocked as Buhari in this.

Please educate the ignorant who yearly wail as though they were denied their birth rights.

It is indeed shameful for the North to have such low marks in an attempt to utilize their own quota. The academic development is very appalling till date.

Even with those low marks, most Northern states cannot still fulfill their own quota of student delegates to contribute to the federal Unity programme.

Nigeriabiafra80:
Which way out Nigerians?

I am not surprised that a Biafran is the one lamenting. Always greedy to a pathological fault.

Like I have posited many times on this forum, Federal Unity School cut off marks are the only quota system implementation that I agree with.

The cut off mark of 139 for Anambra versus 2 for Yobe, is what it would take for both states to have say 200 students each in the Unity Schools.

The higher score in Anambra is only a testament of the educational development of both the state and the academic prowess of the students whose origin is Anambra regardless of which state they actually reside or school.

No state is cheated in having reasonable and equitable number of students benefit from the special schools, which were set up after the civil war to unite children from diverse ethnicities, religion and states, to learn together and grow in harmony, and benefit from the federal government subsidy that such schools enjoy with the subsidized education at a fairly good standard.

Any child from Anambra who does not make it to such Unity schools despite scoring higher than a fellow child from Yobe, has only failed to get onto the quota already reserved for Anambra. Even the quota reserved for Yobe and other Northern states will never be used up and will still be shared by Southern states.

It is not a denial of education not to attend Unity Schools, as they do not even make up to 1% of secondary schools in Nigeria that are more populated with State public schools and private schools.

Enough of this yearly wailing over a quota that belong to others and for which you have already received your own share to allot with higher scores because of the stiffer academic competition among the candidates from that state.

I never went to a Unity School, yet I did not miss out on anything tangible or prerequisite to my future accomplishments.

Brooklynsouth:
magu must face the wrath of the law anything again ?

What did your uncle do to have courted the attention of the EFCC?

And why do you complain about his treatment in the hand of the law?

Whenever they are committing the crime, they never fall sick, but when caught like your uncle, good health suddenly departs them?

Brooklynsouth:
Nigerians are hypocrites so this slowpoke knows the meaning of health condition but failed to release my uncle oh goodness block the ears and stiffen the heart of those that are detaining him

Now with you we see proof that the corrupt have their family on social media fighting back and disparaging the government.

I hope your uncle was thoroughly dealt with and shown no mercy?

SLAP44:
Changing the goal post to tribal rants.

Very Typical.

But you were the one who made a tribal rant and he replied you highlighting your tribal hypocrisy with words of a notable clansman.

As typical of clansmen you replied and accused him of what you started.

I am not surprised.

Many joined at a time they thought the job was an avenue to tyrannical power over bloody civilians, and a source of income while daily engaging in idleness and parades.

They did not see the inherent battles and death that lurks around such a job.

Now they have seen, so lacking any original patriotism or motivation to continue with what is now an insufferable job, they must abandon a job that is not their destiny.

MASTAkiLLAh:
You left your life duties to study Twitter feeds and nairaland posts, op you need help


Nothing was stolen here though, the numbers are open facts

Reno is this you?

You couldn't resist the temptation of defending yourself.

OP is wondering why someone will sit abroad and fabricate lies?

Because they are outside while pissing in.

The OP should be embarrassed by his own senselessness.

Only a criminal is afraid of the tenets of the law.

Osinbajo is a lawyer, and he will seek redress in the legal system.

Stop crying on behalf of the false accuser.

Galactico4ever:
Seems the man was a jealous ethnic bigot and that motivated him a lot.Continue Resting In Peace, Premier.

To the Igbos, every other Nigerian who doesn't let the Igbos have their greedy way is an ethnic bigot.

Mmuoojukwu:
See how Afonjas wan fight corruption. They wan fight corruption with bullion vans. Hypocrites!

Is Tinubu that much of a threat despite already being an IDP?

What does the fellow traumatize so many who can't seem to stop thinking and talking about him?

eagleu:
Unexplained sudden wealth.
So sad.

One person is in prison while his counterpart is trying to use his stolen money to vie for president.

You just described Atiku the billionaire Customs Civil Servant.

PrecisionFx:
I didnt read beyond the first line.

Because money that should have been spent on Suya was wasted on an emotional mind that will wail over a loss till the agony is shared even by the grandchildren.

You already inadvertently revealed why you rant and criticise, so no point debating someone who has already admitted to being in the offside position.

I was alive and observant then.

Truth is Onu won APP Presidential ticket. Olu Falae won AD presidential ticket. Both parties did not know their political strength yet as those states each party won had not happened before the AD/APP alliance was reached.

Onu did not support being dropped to allow an alliance with AD, but his party went ahead with the alliance which had its own agreement that AD will provide the Presidential candidate while APP will provide the vice candidate.

It was not considered politically possible to have 2 southerners on the ticket. So Onu was dropped from being the vice candidate on the ticket, while Umaru Shinkafi was put forward as APP's representative on that alliance ticket.

What I cannot remember is if Shinkafi had been the runner up to Onu when the APP had its original presidential primary, or if a separate selection process was undertaken by the APP to arrive at the predestined emergence of a Northerner that would occupy the junior position on the alliance ticket.

Onu did not accept it, but eventually came to terms with it and supported the alliance and remained a loyal party member in APP to ANPP, till it merged with others to form APC.

We are doomed as a community with folks like throwback.

We are doomed when everyone is lynched physically and electronically because someone makes an allegation without any single evidence connecting the accused.

You have a brain, you were educated, please use it to be rational and objective in your submissions.

I used to wonder why Nigeria could not also adopt a jury style of criminal justice, until I encountered many irrational minds on Nairaland and realised the doom it would spell if such minds were allowed to pass judgement in a matter that deals with available evidence.

PrecisionFx:
Now u have suddenly turned smart n started looking for evidence...wen th same Sahara reporters were reporting bloody lies without proof on GEJ, u never ever cared for evidence but rather u believed everything they said

So you admit your criticism is just an avenue to vent your frustration that a corrupt and lying regime was sacked by another that has turned out not to be any better?

So you admit you are deliberately playing dumb and stupid due to your partisan prejudice?

Shame on you and your wasted education.

Your father should have spent his money eating suya.

Since you cannot move on with your existence, your grandchildren will also inherit your agony over a useless Jonathan that was duly and democratically sacked by the majority who found him incompetent.

As for me, I await the evidence that the accuser has yet to provide before I can join the chorus of the mob.
