The names on the list are in the following order: Firstname, Middlename Surname

Internationally and in official documents, when you write a name and put a comma, the name proceeding the said comma is the surname.

omonnakoda:
Scholastica is a female name

Internationally and in official documents, when you write a name and put a comma, the name proceeding the said comma is the surname.

so its either they have made a mistake, or that name is altogether fake.

zungum:
none frm north-east

But they said book is haram. Any way this program is on merit not federal character.

What rubbish!
And that format applies only to SCHOLASTICA and not the other names on the list?. Did the programme start this year?
Do you think you are talking to your villagers. Please shut up and go and sit down.

sauceny:


Maybe they don't deserve it¿

Maybe their governors and ministers were busy stealing money when other governors and ministers were sending names for the list.

I wasn't stating my observations based on the component of the name as against others, I only responded to someone who said the person must be Yoruba and of Igbo mom. The name as written in the lost suggests differently at least according to the standard format of arranging names.

You don't need to get angry over what you don't know about. Also, pls learn to read and understand the context of ones argument before putting forth emotional put downs.

I'm done with this as I've made my observation known and anyone can easily see the point I'm making. You won't get a reply after this..

I got angry about your fabricated protocol "internationally" with regards to writing of names. You just made that up and it is silly and juvenile. I challenge you to provide any corroboration. Any intelligent person scrolling through that list who is Nigerian will realise that the surnames are Last.Yes it may be confusing but that does not justify concocting a non existent convention just to be "right" in argument.

nkwako:
im not a tribalist but pls this hate on ibos needs to stop....just from waec records alone u need no magic to know that south easterners are sound. It was clearly based on merit .....lots of graduates from the north are nothing to write home about so pls tell ur leaders that send their children abroad but tell u religion is number one to improve education in the north..... plsss pls leave ibos alone

And how is this a hate on the ibos? Please show me the part of the OP that shows hatred to ibos.

You are correct Shinebabe but this list is not so. I don't know why NUC has to go with first name first. Anyway, there isn't quality standard on organisation's order of names.

D south re busy educating dere youths,while d north re busy using dere youth for dere sellfish political interest.according to mdg rating on education,south east scored d highest rate,d whole north scored d poorest. Mind u d north hav been wt power n wealth ever since d creation of dis fake nation.

PEOPLE'S COMMENTS.....

ArewaWarrior:


All of your likes that talk of the North do NOT know the North, most have never been there but comfortably sit behind a keyboard and talk rubbish like yourself.

Even if Federal character is pushed aside and whatever criteria is deployed in a selection process, the north will have ample representation. The population is superior to all other geographical zones, regardless of poverty and almajiris that wonder about, a decent portion can challenge on an international level talk less of national.

This stereotype of ignorance in the North and intelligence in the South which you promote says alot about how poorly wired you are my friend.

The PRESSID list is unacceptable and it stinks of foul play. Mark me next years list is going to be very very different.

Many of us who 'talk' have served in the north and as you know most of youth corpers who serve there end up teaching in schools, so we are very well placed to talk about the level of education in the north, it is quite frankly nothing to write home about.
As for you phantom superior population, quantity isn't the same as quality. The first class graduates from the north and every other part of the country are brought together to write a test and the best 100 graduates are selected based on their performance in that test. If the north is not well represented, it is because their first class graduates aren't as good as those from the south.

bright007:
As far Nigeria is concerned, almost all these first class students were professional crammers in school.


Not beefing them though because I also tried to cram my way to first class only to get 4.35 as final GP.

Hard work pays because cramming is really hard work

congratulations to all of them.

lmao...what is hard work without cramming?? Not everyone is like that though.

nifton:

Shoro niyen.

oro gidi ni oooo

Bants:
Igbo names are too much this look like a fraud

Z beta dis nation divides,deres no unity,a particular region sees education as irrelevant,and a sin,now dey want 2 pertake in it. Go browse abt MDG statistics on education,and see y d ibos name re in d list.

Honestly, I'm not even against going for first name first. That can be attributed to the use of American based software or that those who compiled the names don't know the rules about proper format.

But what I wanted to point our is the use of the comma after a name. Usually the name that precedes such is the surname. If they put all the names there without any comma, then I can accept they are using the american format, which isn't the internationally accepted format too.

@omonnakoda, I realised that all the names had the surnames last. In that wise, you may have a point. However, the list isn't properly arranged is my point and that can be misleading. To foreigners for instance, how will they know the surname? You could pick out the surname cos you're Nigerian.

shinebabe:

Yes, we all know that. But go on the list and check, the first name was put first, then comma after. Haba!! Even a dumb fellow knows Scholarstica is a female name. And I also went through the lists. At least I can categorically tell you that the Yoruba ones amongst them had their last name last, and not first as it is universally done. Their motive for doing this, I dunno

Bolded. The American software could not have done that. It was the person that wrote the list. Yeah, Americans write in the format of First Name...Middle Name...Last Name, but in any situation that warrants writing in that format above, then the Last Name or Surname (in Nigeria) is written first, (Usually in Block letters and with a comma) then First Name and Middle Name after that.

True.

The reason why I said American software is because most of the data are collected using software and the scholarship recipients only fill what spaces are provided for their names; the software does the rest. Maybe its a faulty software though cos softwares are written by humans too and can have errors.

Oghenetega This is good news..

Not even 1 Kalabari name ... Na wa ooo
