Seriously we need to introduce federal character in the way results are published. The idea of just publishing results plainly as they come is hardly helpful in the Nigerian sense. For instance how would the people of Yobe feel with this result? they must be feeling cheated. Even the people of Ekiti who self styled themselves the most educated people will be forced to ask their goats to write the next WASSCE. it is quietly rumoured that the southwesterners are thusly gifted in book learning that domestic livestock can pass a flimsy WASSCE with flying colours. They say the northerners allow their livestock to participate in the National Census Exercises so why won't others be allowed to do same? Finally I want to suggest that the results of anambra and abia state be reviewed downwards with a view to limit their performance going forward as was done in the Army those days. while that of the north be reviewed upwards. This is to promote equity fairness and balance across the country. 3 Likes |

The general performance of this year WAEC is very bad and shld be a concern to all well meaning Nigerian,it seems our politicians are devoting more time in self serving politics than in pursuit of standard education for our populace?this calls for sober reflection,however of more worrisome is the south-west states where it seems the governors are only good at propaganda and self interest,how fast are the legacies of Awolowo fading into oblivion! Hence we as a people must hold our leaders to accountability and make sure we never play into their elitist,class and self-interest struggle and only then can we hope that our children will be blessed with the grace of light...God Bless Nigeria! 4 Likes |

Which region? Be specific! Since when has Lagos became yolobarland or yolobar developed enclave? Igbos only go to Lagos which an FG developed enclave and not yolobar. Please learn to know the difference Lagos (FG enclave) and traditional yolobar enclaves. Igbos are not found in such rural areas as Ibadam, Abeokuta, Oshogbo etc.. Come here in the East all what your yolobar people are doing here is selling something that looks like concoction called 'agbo' medicine. But Igbos don't even patronize that dirty stuff they hawk around. All the tailors and taxi drivers in the East are all yolobar graduates. T8ksy: 2 Likes 2 Shares |
