Iceberg3: Listen I have zero patience for idiotic talk and have no qualms about being banned Where and when did I talk about Obi? If you do not know what is involved then keep quiet Unity schools were set up on day one as a quota system enterprise No state is entitled to more than its quota To come out now saying we are scoring more and they are cheating us is dishonest and greedy If we do not want unity schools we can scrap them They were never set up as a centre for the best and brightest That is not the purpose They were supposed to have quota for disabled people and also for those children whose parents served abroad in Embassies or other government business Why then bring up this lie and nonsense about Iboes scoring more? Was it ever a competitive thing The reason Iboes score more I repeat is their greed They saw that the Federal government spent money on these schools and had more demand per capita than their quota. Are their no secondary schools in their states why must they be so desperate to dominate schools that were set up FOR UNITY 1 Like |

izombie:Yes That is what it is about We all know so why come up trying to pretend you are being cheated? It is set up for quota system That is why it exists in the first place If we set up an ECOWAS school of unity or African school of Unity will it not be quota system? Because the schools were better equipped than state schools some people want to change the purpose and pretend they are being short changed 1 Like |

aswani: There has never been a time where cutoff for any southwest state was even near the lowest of southeastern state. |
Re: Is It Fair To Give Igbo Children The Highest Cutoff Marks?? by Alusiizizi(m): 5:08pm On Mar 06 |
Owontime: We Igbo's are superior to every other major tribe in Nigeria. They need to put the cutoff marks for the southeastern states so high so that those top federal schools don't get over-run by Igbo children. Igbo people are possessed of a higher natural IQ relative to the other tribes. There is no metric of academic intellectual power/aptitude that any other tribe comes even close to Igbo people. We dominate the Nigerian economic landscape, despite the combined land area of the southeastern states being smaller than most other states in Nigeria. Continue hating us, continue with your jealousy, all these have no import to our affairs, we will continue kicking your collective asses in education, continue driving our various businesses to increasingly higher levels and continue smiling at you on our way to the bank as we watch you worthless cone-heads stand at the sidelines and beg us for handouts.

SWATMan:Keep on crying over unitary schools as if there are no other options across Nigeria. There are numerous state schools you can attend in your state, you're busy crying over nothing. There's a reason unitary schools were created, they will keep on serving the purpose. |

Re: Is It Fair To Give Igbo Children The Highest Cutoff Marks?? by Gajagojo: 5:24pm On Mar 06 |
Iceberg3:You are an illiterate There is no evidence Igbos SCORE MORE that is not what the figures indicate The figures indicate THE DEMAND for slots among Iboes and among others The cut off only tells us there is a high demand for slots among Iboes and so it is more competitive You obviously are an ignorant OMATA boy If One person from Lagos state applies and He scores 1 then the cut off will be 1 It is as simple as that Now where thousands are applying the cut off will be calculated based on quota, and the scores of applicants What is Obvious is Ibos apply more than others thereby raising their own cut off scores they they start moaning It does not indicate Iboes score more than anyone not even more than the state with a cutoff mark of 2 This is not analysis an OMATA boy can understand A higher cut off indicates a higher demand above allocated quota slots If in any given year There are zero applicants the cutoff will be Zero How many of those so called low cut off states are being admitted to FGC Enugu, Okigwe, Port Harcourt or Kings College?[b] |

tishbite43:You're just getting unnecessary aggressive Kindly point out where i said this in my post. tishbite43: Each state has a quota to fill. An Indigene of Kano state sitting for the exam is competing with his peers from Kano, an Indigene of Anambra sitting for the exam is competing with his peers from Anambra state. This is my position on the issue, I don't know where you're seeing what you're talking about. |

helinues: Why not, now? Why do you accept 12 mark from your region and demand 250 from Igbo kids? Finally accepting that your brain is inferior? |
Re: Is It Fair To Give Igbo Children The Highest Cutoff Marks?? by Gajagojo: 5:29pm On Mar 06 |
eagleu:Your brain is inferior because you have no understanding of the figures How many of those so called low cut off states are being admitted to FGC Enugu, Okigwe, Port Harcourt or Kings College? The cut off is higher only means they are OVERSUBSCRIBING more than their allocated quota 1 Like |

Re: Is It Fair To Give Igbo Children The Highest Cutoff Marks?? by Paraman: 5:32pm On Mar 06 |
SWATMan:Lol A lot of you need to really find out why unitary schools were created. You're just here arguing blindly. Every state in Nigeria have a quota to fill up in unitary schools. An Indigene of Anambra state sitting for the exam is not competing with students from Osun or Kano, he's competing with his peers from Anambra state sitting for the exam. 1 Like |
Re: Is It Fair To Give Igbo Children The Highest Cutoff Marks?? by eagleu: 5:34pm On Mar 06 |
Gajagojo: Messed up reasoning. The school has a criteria for admission, and you say that the criteria doesn't really matter? If Zamfara has a cut off of 10, Imo has 230, and the school wants at least 100 in order for the student to succeed, your evil system now has the school dropping requirements just to accommodate a candidate who is not even prepared in the first place. Well, the results is what we have- messed up. |
Re: Is It Fair To Give Igbo Children The Highest Cutoff Marks?? by Gajagojo: 5:35pm On Mar 06 |
eagleu:What is the criteria? |
Re: Is It Fair To Give Igbo Children The Highest Cutoff Marks?? by Paraman: 5:37pm On Mar 06 |
izombie:If it's 120 in Yobe instead of 2, how do you expect Yobe state to fill her own quota in unitary schools? Unitary schools were created by Gowon to serve a purpose. If you understand the purpose it was created for, you will stop having issue with the way the system is. |
Re: Is It Fair To Give Igbo Children The Highest Cutoff Marks?? by Gajagojo: 5:49pm On Mar 06 |
Paraman:That Yobe has a cut off of 2 does not mean the highest score in the exam nationwide is not from Yobe What that information tells us is what the person with the LOWEST score from that state scored to meet their quota So the quota is more an indication of the DEMAND for slots in Unity schools from Yobe ESPECIALLY OUTSIDE of its catchment Area There is something called Environmental quota in the Locality If Yobe students are not applying for FGC Enugu we will see this picture If Anambra students are overapplying for FGC Kano we will see this picture I know of at least One Ibo guy that attended a unity school claiming to be Tanko Bala or something like that from a Middle belt state until it was time to register for WAEC then he transformed to Chinedu something Why this? The schools are for Unity not this nonsense that Iboes are trying to introduce |

tishbite43:Na you get time and energy to waste on that idiot |
Re: Is It Fair To Give Igbo Children The Highest Cutoff Marks?? by SWATMan: 6:18pm On Mar 06 |
Paraman:. Exactly my point. The student from either osun, or Kano should score the same grade from his/her state to secure the same entry score for them to be admitted! Giving preferential low score does not encourage hardwork, and resilience the key ingredients needed to succeed in academics. |
Re: Is It Fair To Give Igbo Children The Highest Cutoff Marks?? by Paraman: 6:24pm On Mar 06 |
SWATMan:Unitary schools were for a purpose. It's going to keep on serving the purpose. There are lots of other options like state schools and private schools |
Re: Is It Fair To Give Igbo Children The Highest Cutoff Marks?? by Gajagojo: 6:45pm On Mar 06 |
SWATMan:Actually a cut off mark does not indicate preferential treatment it is clear you do not understand statistics and are poorly schooled A cut of of 2 may indicate that hardly anyone applied from that state .Without figures you are jumping to an unfounded conclusion The school is not set up to encourage hardwork Secondary school provision is not about hardwork Secondary school education is a basic right for all children. All over the world that is the general principle If we wish to establish centres for exceptional children there is nothing wrong with that but that is NOT WHAT UNITY SCHOOLS ARE Children do not attend secondary schools only for English and mathematics which is the main component of those exams It is not the role of the Federal Government to provide secondary school education If they are doing that it is not because they wish to ENCOURAGE HARD WORK That is the job of state governments The Federal Government opened these schools for ONE REASON NATIONAL UNITY The schools are NOT centres of excellence or hard work They are centres of diversity and Unity If we think we don't need that we should scrap them and share the money back to the states 1 Like |
