There is nothing to brag about here Kogi is doing relatively well when it comes to formal education without making noise. Another ignorance laden thread.

Just from this thread

West : 257,815 candidates

East : 179,121 candidates

North : 142,380 candidates

Middle-belt : 139,066 Candidates

South South : 81,108 Candidates

Wake up bro.

Western education in Nigeria is indeed western.

So Kogi and Benue are now Middle-belt but when an appointment is given to anyone from either of the two states they will definitely be called Northerners. To flog you with pankeré dey hungry me aswear.

Already They Are Saying That 1,200,000 Out Of One Point Seven Million Jambites Will Not Be Admitted Into University This Year... I Just Tire For NIGERIA

Bensmart04:
Amen. And We pray for more space in the universities that would at least take up to 75% of these applicants

dream dream dream.

No cut off till after the exam so they can cut off 90% of candidates

Chiefpriest1:
Lol. Jamb don tire Lagos people. Na Lagos you go see person wey don write jamb seven times and still dey try. Too much competition for the few schools.

What's happening to Rivers? It should be one of the highest with its population and metropolitan nature.

Kano, Kaduna . filled with Igbo , youruba and other tribes. No surprises.

Unfortunately, only about 300, 000 of that N1.7 million will gain admission, while the rest will either try again or join bad gangs.

Bro, Lagos has never for once top the list of highest applicants. This list is base on state of origin not state of residence. U can do ur research if u doubt me.

Imo, Delta, Anambra are always there. Tanx

As usual, Imo State will top the list. But Ekiti nko? Or is it no longer a 'Fountain of Knowlege' State? Ayam not understanding.

The North has 3 regions just like the South

MysteriousAnn:
Wait a sec! You mean to tell me that there are more jamb applicants in Kano than in Lagos? Shior.

it is released based on the state of origin. How many people are from lagos?

Statsocial:
The list is not by State of Residency but by Origin and I'm sure indigenous Lagosians are not more than Kano indigenes. Also, I can bet that a large proportion of those Ogun, Oyo and Osun folks reside in Lagos, even some of those Imo and Anambra folks too. But their data would accrue to their respective states of Origin. If it was done by residency then Lagos would have nearly taken 1 million of the candidates.
I would have loved it if the data for state of residency was put side by side with this one. Then we can measure the educational trend of each state and commend their respective government, but of what use is data reflecting for instance 20,000 candidates for Borno if 90% of those candidates are residing in Abj or Lagos.

so far,this is the best comment I have ever seen on nairaland

If it is election now they will Carry first. They hate Education like d way they hated GEJ that built free schools for them.

IMO is always on top for over 4 years now.in my village at least 7 out of 10 people wishes to be in the university once they finish secondary school without delay.I love My state

Wake up bro.

Western education in Nigeria is indeed western.

Yet who carries "highest JAMB score" and "Best WAEC result"? Igbos.
2019 JAMB, the highest was in Lagos State whose name was Ekene Franklin (He hails from Abia state). Igbos even oppressed and succeeded over you in your land
