The earliest kids leave primary school is 8years old.....no how a kid 8year old will breeze through secondary school in two years.....The man dey lie joor.....he just wants to justify the cutoff age....

LegendHero:


I finished secondary school at age 14. So I believe him when he said a 10 year old is possible.

I entered JSS1 at age 8 and finished at age 14. Mind you, I went to Ibadan Grammar School. Back then in Ibadan, it was one of the best school and hard one to enter.

I got double promotion and used only 3 years in primary school. From Pry 1, they put me to pry2, from pry 2 to pry 4. From pry 4 I did common entrance.

I no even use reach 2 years for nursery school.

in nigeria? and how good is this your cousin ?

wman:
Lol. A dirty liar.

Exaggeration too much. That 18 years rule is stupid. 15 is fine.

We have impromptu ASUU strike in Nigeria.

Many of the top guys in my OAU set that graduated with first class entered at the age of 15/16. Some even 14 . And they are doing fine in their careers today.

So what.?
We always like to dramatize
There are exceptional children across the world
If a. Child is able to develop an app like WhatsApp at the age of are we supposed to hold him down?
Rather what is required is a regulatory framework for such kids

Just Google
Youngest graduate Harvard, Cambridge etc
Let us stop unnecessary sensationalism

Ishaq Oloyede, registrar of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), says some tertiary institutions in Nigeria were found to have illegally admitted candidates as young as 10 and 12.

The ministry of education earlier pegged the minimum age for university, polytechnic, and college of education admissions at 18.

Oloyede, during JAMB’s policy meeting in Abuja, spoke on why it became necessary to adopt a minimum age for admissions.

He said some universities had admitted candidates as young as 12 and 10 outside JAMB’s central admission processing system (CAPS).

Oloyede cited the case of a Nigerian institution he did not name and a postgraduate applicant who was looking to study in Germany.

He said the student, documented to have enrolled in the university at 12 to graduate at 15, was discovered after they attempted to pursue a postgraduate degree in Germany.

Oloyede said the European Union, whose scholarship grant the student attempted to apply for, had contacted the board to verify the student’s credentials.

“The candidate applied for a postgraduate scholarship under Erasmus Mundus. The body found it strange that the candidate’s date of birth was 2007,” he said.

“By her passport, she started studying at a university in Nigeria when she was 12 and graduated at 15. The selection committee contacted Nigeria to confirm whether the candidate studied at a university.

“The EU asked if it was possible to graduate candidates at such a young age.”

Oloyede said such cases could negatively affect the perception of the larger pool of degrees awarded by Nigerian tertiary institutions.

“In the next two to three years, the EU could tighten its requirements and all graduates of Nigerian universities would suffer it,” he said.

“We found that [JAMB] never admitted the candidate because she was underage. The university admitted and registered the candidate. I couldn’t respond to the EU because I was embarrassed. I didn’t know what to write.

“Ignorantly, the vice-chancellor confirmed that the student attended the school but that they weren’t the VC at that time.”

TheCable cannot independently verify the identity of both the student and the institution cited in Oloyede’s anecdote.

A child who begins basic school at 6 and undergoes 12 years of education is expected to be around 18 when they get into university.

At the policy meeting, Oloyede said JAMB was alarmed at the participation of a large number of underage candidates in the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

“The enrolment of underage candidates is inflicting serious damage on the university and the education system,” he added.

Babathanks:

Thats my problem with you guys o😉. So Naija university resemble Harvard or USA?. Don't u know this thing would make us have strict admission with the European countries because they would think our education is flaw. And if they restrict us now. People like you would still be the first person to blame the government.

LegendHero:


See someone in USA for example, boy entered college at age 8. He used only 1 year in high school.

Another British-Naija girl Esther, enter college at age 10.

BABANGBALI:
My cursing got admitted into the university at the age of 9 and finished at the age of 14 after reading law. He then went to law school

Please leave my mentions.......u don't have point.....u are desperate....where is the naija proof....??

LegendHero:


Bro I finished primary school now, it was more than 2 decades. At that era, kids enter secondary school at an older age compared to now that kids enter school at young age.

If someone have double promotion in a private school and use only 4 years and did his WAEC in SS1, do you think it’s not possible?

Even during my time, people do WAEC in SS2 wella, so why can’t they do in SS1.

If he finish primary school at age 6 or 7 and used 3-4 years in secondary school, why is it not possible?

Oga..which school admitted 10year old in 100level naaa...?? Sebi u saw the proof

All these restrictions are not necessary at the end of the day ...education shouldn't be by age naaa..it's by brain.....

Who typed this crap I screen shot?
Where did Prof. Ishaq Oloyede ever lied?
You just hate the Prof. Ishaq Oloyede and you are only trying to malign him for nothing other than the Mmesoma saga.
Many SE have been attacking Prof. Ishaq Oloyede without justification all because he is good at his job and he was able to catch the young crmininal called Mmesoma and he has dismantled all those miracle centres scattered all over the southeast.

It's like hating and blaming the police for arresting a rapist just because the rapist is from 1GB0 tribe
