Marshal2000:I was surprised when the dude said 2nd class graduate from the North can challenge a 1st class from the South. Though, I'm not given to classes of degrees because I know the length people go, I couldn't help but laugh at his dellusion. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Paretomaster: It's not only about having first class. After applying with your first class degree, you go through a battery of tests and interviews. Even after that, you have to get admission for yourself in one of the top 25 universities in the world. Are you for real that the standard of education in the North has risen? And Yobe state still require 2/200 ie 1% as cut off mark for admission into Unity colleges? How do you explain that? |

PassingShot:I work in NUC and I can tell u that pressid is purely on merit.I have seen students from ABU who are of northern extraction that bagged the award but majority are southwest,southeast etc.the purpose of the scheme is to sort out the best brains and trained them in the best schools abroad who will in turn return back to Nigeria to impact their knowledge for the social economic progress of the country.mind u,its targeted for specific areas of discipline.if merrit. Were to be jettisoned in favour of quota system,then I can tell u that the aim of Pressid is already defeated. 13 Likes 2 Shares |

Sibrah: The prof said only first class graduates were involved. Take note that he said it in defence to the accusation of bias. What does that mean? Let him produce the list of applicants, evidence of advertisement and the criteria for making the top list. It is farfetched to imply that no northerner would make that list. |

SLIDEwaxie:my brother calm down joor...a niger deltan would never marginalize any region especially in matters like this...a niger deltan would even displease his own people so that other regions have their way...this scheme is strictly based on merit...and if the north cant produce first class students which is a requirement to be enrolled then I think they should start doing the needful by flowing with the tides of education as the rest of the regions do... Stop blaming wike...how can wike remove or rejecct the names of northerners??..what did the north do to him??... 5 Likes |

B-R-E-A-K-I-N-G News!!! "My Campaign Promises Can Be Changed". - Buhari. **our promises of Change and APC manifesto, are not Quran or Bible, they are subject to change to meet reality. The President-elect Gen. Muhammadu Buhari has shocked Nigerians when he announced that the promises that the All Progressives Congress, APC, made during the nationwide presidential campaign which were contained in the Party’s manifesto were not words from the Quran or Bible, adding that the pledges are subject to change. Buhari who stated this during an interactive session with journalists on Television Continental, TVC reiterated that the party’s manifestos were subject to modification, as they are only made for election purposes only. The Buhari-led APC had promised fundamental political reforms and improvement in governance, more transparency and accountability. The party also promised to urgently secure the territorial integrity of the Nation. It said it will never leave the defense of the nation in the hands of hunters, children, and civilian JTF. The APC presidential candidate had also said that he would ensure that the Naira was equal to the Dollar in value, if elected president. During the interview Buhari emphasized that on ministerial appointment, the party has a great role to play. “I would ask Nigerian political observers to study our manifesto; it is not a Bible or Quran which you can’t change to meet reality. “Our manifesto was made by very experienced Nigerians but it’s subject to modification. “It took several months to arrive at it, so whatever we said in our manifesto, people must accept the fact that we have to modify it. ‘’On my choice for ministerial appointment; my party has a role to play, but most importantly we need seasoned technocrat, people of professional and personal integrity.’’ In reaction, an advocacy group, Lawyers for Change, has charged the President-elect to focus on his campaign promises, especially with regards to recovering the Chibok girls abducted over a year ago. National Coordinator of the group, Mr. Adesina Ogunlana added that Buhari must not take Nigerians for granted, but have to live up to his earlier promise adding that his comments after the general elections contradicted his promise before the elections. On President Jonathan calling to concede defeat even before the announcement of result by Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Buhari who have never accepted any election result in his life, stated “What the President did by calling me even before the announcement by INEC, shows a remarkable statesmanship and that has stabilized the politics of this country.” |

Let the FG forget this whole Federal Character issue and encourage meritocracy,it'll go a long way in encouraging everyone to be up and doing.. Putting Federal character first only discourages those that are willing to be educated, makes life harder for them and encourages those that are not willing to be educated,also makes life easier for them... |

Wsdm:i agree with you dear but where i have a problem is in this. If a pupil from anambra state will have to score at least 137 to gain admition into unity school (fed gov col) & a pubil from zamfara will score 20 to get admition into the same school. Dont you think that tells us more than we are hearing? The difference between 137 & 20 is 117... Some of us would want to believe that the north is not backward but what we see in reality affects our believe about the north & attitude towards education. 3 Likes |

Wsdm: What a comment ! While it is true that those who haven't been to the north will have no idea of the rot up there, your claim of a second class in north challenging a first class from south is folly, because the northerner always lag behind in every merit based federal programme. 1 Like |

SLIDEwaxie: Who exactly is favoring their side here ?? The majority of last year winners are Yorubas from the SW, your own region. And no person from Bayelsa won last year. I guess GEJ wanted to favour Yorubas and disfavor his own Ijaw people in Bayelsa. If you have a 1st class relatively recently from a Nigerian University, you are less than 30 yrs old, and have completed your NYSC, you are eligible to apply for the PRESSID scholarship. Every single one of them (they are usually an average of 600) then writes a test, and then ONLY the top 109 candidates in that exams are selected STRICTLY ON MERIT. That was why Ogun and SW had the highest No of beneficiaries while Bayelsa, and most of the NW and NE had none or very little. But people like you still complain cos your lazy and indolent 'masters' are complaining too. Why am I even surprised?? Didn't your Lord Buhari get into the Military on the strength of his Principal' recommendation cos he was Hausa-Fulani when others from the other parts of the country had to present their WASSCE results?? Even when he eventually presented the result and failed Maths, wasn't he made an Official, rose to the top in that institution and was just elected again to the very top by people like you?? Yet you chaps are the 1st to complain about the condition of Nigeria. Bladdi HYPOCRITES!!! 9 Likes 1 Share |

People just see the north as backwards even in rankings I watch the way people here are biased in Universities ranking, I will state this without any fear of contradiction and doubt that top federal universities in the North give grades on merit strictly let me be specific ABU for instance it is what you give that'll be given to you take this statement anywhere you cannot graduate with a 2.1 if you're not qualified to but you guys in the west and east don't know this if you've got a close relation coming from Lagos, Enugu or Other state ask them, you can even take the issue to NUC. 1 Like |
