Some that scored 130 won't be admitted while some with less than 10 would be admitted on merit. When are we going to do away with this madness and let human capacity development be on merit only basis?

Congratulations to the girl for lifting the name of Sokoto.

Congratulations to Lagos for being a good host.

Now based on equality, the 78 candidates from Kebbi might get admission even if they're among those who scored 1.

You don’t need anyone to tell you that she’s Yoruba claiming Sokoto. A lot of folks do this to gain admission. I have a friend who’s name is Albulahi Osazuwa Osayande from Borno state. All so he can get Medicine at Unimaid. A soothsayer doesn’t need to tell you that this person is an Edo guy and not a northerner.

It’s a common occurrence in the south due to the unfair advantage the North has. No one asked the north to continuously be educational less developed. We all gain independence together, even the Igbos that fought a civil war and had everything destroyed doesn’t have a state that is classified as an ELDS.

LienwaltAbel:

Ebonyi is an ELDS oh. Just that no one takes it seriously

Nozino:



I didn’t know. But even that is understandable. If the North that didn’t fight a war and has had people at the hems of affairs in this country, decides to be backwards, how does it concern us if they intentionally decide not to grow? Let’s all take advantage of ELDS. In admission, employment etc. we in Benin already know this. Most people have lga certificates from the north.

PresidObi:

Congratulations to the brilliant young girl.
Peter Obi increased the quality of education in Nigeria.

Dear Christians, especially the Yoruba
Christians, what is the matter you have
with Muslims? Honestly, the way some
of you are going about religion calls for
serious concern. Some of you are
fanatically attached to your religion. Yet,
you pretend to be moderate and neutral.
Wallahi, if Yoruba Muslims should
behave the way some Yoruba Christians
are behaving, no Christian will ever
become governors in Oyo, Osun, Ogun
and Lagos States. Those states have
higher percentage of Muslims.
There was a time in Osun, which is a
predominantly Muslim state, had a
Christian as governor (Olagunsoye
Oyinlola) and a Christian as deputy
governor (Erelu Olusola Obada). Did
Muslims complain? No! We did not even
care about their religion. I remember
how happy I was the day Oyinlola won.
Are you telling us that we are fools?
After all, Awolowo (a Christian) ruled
Yorubaland while Akintola (another
Christian) was the Premier; no Muslim
raised any eyebrow. I don't want to speak
much on this issue. God bless Nigeria.

yet after looking at the above information some gullible zombies will believe Nigeria can become great in their lifetime

All the south eastern states have very high cutoffs followed by the southwest then the middle belt follows and the northerners take the last position.
