Cut off mark my foot! Recent average cut-off mark in South-west is 128, and 131 in South-east. It has been rotating from southeast to southwest for decades. Does that stop the fact that kids from Lagos, Ondo, Ogun and Oyo always dominate common entrance results since 1989?

What you typed, is it sensible to you ?

PDP have governed the SW longer than any party. Even in ondo state.Ondo state (2003-2009)---- PDP (6 years)

All ACN governors in SW excluding Lagos have spent 2 years + and shown signs of fixing the rot in the education sector

Sunny_bobo:

Bloody lie. It has never rotated between SE and SW st least not since 1988 when I became conscious of the cut of marks into Unity schools. The South East has always been on top just like in JAMB performance. The data for JAMB performance (actual admission and not applications) were available from 1999 on JAMB website until Prof. Dibu Ojerinde took over as JAMB registrar and it disappeared. Also, has anyone noticed that the usual release of application statistics by state of origin after each years JAMB UTME exams wasn't done this year. Is Ojerinde trying to hide something?

Good you have the latest data for cut off which I believe is the one for 2013. Now, for last year, checkout the link below;

Gbawe: Sad that so many Nairalanders are hateful creatures into mocking and attacking each others like uncivilised apes and barbarians. It is only the bigoted elements , unable to give credit where due, who will pretend not to know that the ACN Governors are all replacing the mess of the PDP (typified by the picture OP supplied) with modern, well-equipped model schools as part of a holistic and comprehensive policy underpinning a return to greatness on sound, qualitative and comparatively robust education.

Below is a model school being built by Amosun. One would hope that amidst all the tribal and jingoistic jousting going on here, we should all still have the decency in us to support administrators who are doing well - wherever they are from - and leave them out of these childish, petty and senseless mischief that can only make non-Nigerians view us as highly warped.

The bold part of your statement above clearly shows that you are either a teenager or your brain cells are fast degenerating. PDP never governed any south west state for 8 years. They were only in office from 2003-2007. Get your facts right before posting.

The cut-off mark does not prevent a student from Akwa Ibom or Kogi from scoring 200. The cut-off mark average between southeast and southwest is relatively the same when you average the states.

Garri the 1st: I dey laff ooo.

So the OP and his gang don't know that PDP's years of ruling in the SW destroyed and took the region decades backward...

asha 80: i was not even refering to cut off marks.i was refering to where he said that ogun,lagos,osun,oyo kids have been topping common entrance exams.this reminds me of the link you provided when this cut off bruhaha came out about an examiner that said if admissions where done on merit that anambra kids would take up one sixth of admissions.if not that i am typing with phone i would have provided that link now.people should stop making statements based on conjectures.

gramci:

lol, what do you expect from someone with garri brain

amarilo: If we keep on showing the world the school picture you described those gov will think they have arrived that is why the ugly pictures need to be shown so that they will not forget. But then I did not see you castigate when your clan was showing schools from pdp governed states. You will do well when you balance your views if you really mean well for Nigeria irrespective of who is in power.

Sunny_bobo:

I have supplied him with the info in my last post before this but you know most Nigerians suffer from selective amnesia.

Sunny_bobo:

The list you have above is for 2013 bro, the link I provided was for 2012. Did you read it at all? Ok, I'll help you out.

First of all, admissions into Unity schools are carried out thus;

1) 40% on merit (here a national cut off is used ie the same cut off for all candidates)

2) 30% on state of origin (equal numbers of students from all states); this is where the cut off marks are used to get equal number of students to fill the 30%

3) 30% on catchment area.

Now, in 2012, Anambra and Imo states alone took a sixth of the merit slots;

He said if merit alone was employed the Unity Schools would not achieve federal character.
“For instance in the last examination out of 6,000 candidates that made the national cut-off, Anambra State had the lion’s share. Between Imo and Anambra, they took a sixth of the national merit. You cannot blame them for being brilliant. However, if all Anambra candidates are admitted there will be no unity colleges,” he said.

Merit my foot! How come the best students who sit for Common Entance, and WAEC always come from Southwestern States? Personally I don't rate Nigerian colleges but the best colleges are located in the southwest also; UNILAG, OAU, UI, UNI ILORIN,.......... then UNN. In 2003, I tried to help a girlfriend of mine to study at University of North Carolina at Greensboro, suprisingly the school refused to accept her transcripts because she was a student at UNICAL. UNCG let her know they only had three schools on the list of schools in Nigeria that accept their transcripts. The three schools happened to be OAU, UNILAG and UI.
