Nobody will see this and be ok with it and some of us are not Igbos so please stop that nonsense of Igbos playing victim card.

And again you opened your mouth and talked about them being greedy,where's Obj from? Where osinbajo from? Then tinubu came and said "Yoruba lo Kan,emilokan."

I guess if tinubu were an Igbo person, people like you will write epistles upon epistles about how greedy,how selfish the Igbos are!!!!
You kept attacking Obi over his so called "yes daddy" blshhht but kept mute over a muslimuslim ticket after a muslim already did 8 years....
Well it's not today that we know you Nigerians are very horrible people and just to let you know, your post up there is completely empty,you said absolutely nothing

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

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

I believe Ndi Yoruba and Ndi South South too have high cut off marks and at some point have had the highest.

Some even much higher than some Ndigbo states in fact.

By the way, the fact that a few Batists are responding to taunting by Obidients by saying that does not mean it is a Nigerian wide thing.

Just like Ndi Yoruba were frozen out from the centre for a long time during Awolowo's lifetime, same is happening to Ndigbo. Ndi Yoruba overcame this by reaching out to other people.

Obidients meanwhile are insulting and abusing other people for questioning Peter Obí, you won't become President that way. Also despite continously voting PDP en masse, Ndigbo were never given the presidential slot, maybe time to stop voting PDP.

Finally, I myself want an Ndigbo president and I believe Bianca working with an APC government is the very first steps towards an APC and APGA merger that will achieve that.

There has never been a time where cutoff for any southwest state was even near the lowest of southeastern state.

You mean those IPOB children who sell pure water and gala bread? grin

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.

This is the most stupid analysis I have ever seen on this forum. His question wasn't ambiguous in he's post, but because of the anomalies he wanted answers to, your level of understanding couldn't comprehend his write up. Why wouldn't there be competition for the best as it's obtainable in other clime? Why would a student from Abia be given a cut off mark of let's say 100, and the another student from osun 70 for the same examination? Why not the same cut off mark for all the students taking the exam, and then the competition restricted to the individual states, to present their best candidates who are able to attain the score? Why the preferential treatment? I need answers to these questions just like the ones he posed.
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.

This is the most illogical argument I have heard in recent times,why have some of you chosen to be daft or out rightly senseless,I do not think you read what you wrote.
A man requires say 200 Mark's to get into school and from the same country, another 2 Mark's to get into the same school .Simply because he is adjudged to be from an educationally backward state,however another young Nigeria with 198 marks from Anambra is denied admission because he didn't make 200 Mark's and you justified it.
You spoke about quota,admittedly they dont fill in there quota in some northern states and yet out of the 104 unity schools in Nigeria,South East has only 12.Our children travel from the East to say Maidugari,just to attend a unity school in an Area where most classes are empty and will need far higher cut off to make the admission list.Why allocating the least number of unity schools to South East and yet they are they ones who are willing to attend at a very demanding cut off.
You are justifying it but you are not worried that when it comes to employment,they are largely relegated because of where they come from.
Lol

The way some of you guys are just complaining over this issue eh grin Every state in Nigeria have a quota to fill in every unitary school. There's a reason unitary schools were created by Gowon.

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]

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.

And here is the problem with nigeria. All cut off marks should be the for all federal schools in nigeria. If it's 2 in yobe it should also be 2 in Anambra and ogun, Not having 2 for yobe, 120 for Ogun then 190 for Anambra in the same exam, the same questions to qualfy for the same university. Abegii
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.

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?

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.

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
