Amen. And We pray for more space in the universities that would at least take up to 75% of these applicants

Wait a sec! You mean to tell me that there are more jamb applicants in Kano than in Lagos? Shior.

That's what you are seeing na.. or think cows also registered for Jamb?

That's what you are seeing na

The list is not by State of Residency but by Origin and I'm sure indigenous Lagosians are not more than Kano indigenes. Also, I can bet that a large proportion of those Ogun, Oyo and Osun folks reside in Lagos, even some of those Imo and Anambra folks too. But their data would accrue to their respective states of Origin. If it was done by residency then Lagos would have nearly taken 1 million of the candidates.
I would have loved it if the data for state of residency was put side by side with this one. Then we can measure the educational trend of each state and commend their respective government, but of what use is data reflecting for instance 20,000 candidates for Borno if 90% of those candidates are residing in Abj or Lagos.

Highest number in the history of JAMB.


More than 50% are those who are repeating JAMB every year...

Lol. Jamb don tire Lagos people. Na Lagos you go see person wey don write jamb seven times and still dey try. Too much competition for the few schools.

What's happening to Rivers? It should be one of the highest with its population and metropolitan nature.

Kano, Kaduna . filled with Igbo , youruba and other tribes. No surprises.

Unfortunately, only about 300, 000 of that N1.7 million will gain admission, while the rest will either try again or join bad gangs.

Buhari why? Jamb wasn't like this under GEJ

Some states might even register non living things just to be on the list

I dont belive it

Did buhari register for jamb?

Wer dis ones wan see job after school

Expectedly Imo State but sadly our minds are being trained to seek employment not create!

I know say Osun go dey top 3 before opening the thread .....Osun and schooling be like ........

Lagos shiidreen no wan go school again, after waec na to enter studio record track to get thier own taaaarty billion or join the Malay boiz for the hustle. issorait

My dear Oyo state will be there, considering the numbers of our brother from the land of the rising sun that just dey useless for our place

Statsocial:
The list is not by State of Residency but by Origin and I'm sure indigenous Lagosians are not more than Kano indigenes.

Oh! No wonder. Don't compare Lagos to Kano, The Centre Of Fertility.

As usual........ imo state

admax:
Imo is doing something good about education! I Love it!

It is not about the State Government but imolites zeal for education, our family settings pushes one to aspire for educational excellence right from the national common entrance level examination.
