jelani01:I totally agree with you. I really dont know what this thread is turning into. It was just yesterday one baby factory guy came here and started abusing Hausa/Fulani and blaming them for the delay and here is DmainMan dropping rubbish who i thought was not in anyway a Tribal jingoist, but i was wrong. To say 70% of southern graduate are fake is an understatement. DmainMan should confine himself to giving scholarly advice if not he will be dealt with squarely too. 4 Likes |

jelani01: Common man. Don't be rude and dont allow emotions control u. Do you even know my tribe? Who told you I dont acknowledge intelligent Northerners? Please change your mentality, argue and think like an educated person. Dont play the tribalism card here. You can go to the politics section and do this. The main reason why PRESSID was scrapped is because so many northern candidates failed and did not make the list. There is nothing like federal character in Pressid, only d best gets it irrespective of your state. Since Nigeria governance is based on federal character, hence it had to be scrapped for peace. http://www.peoplesdailyng.com/alleged-bias-reps-stop-presidential-scholarship-awards/ https://scholarships.myschool.com.ng/news/14957/arewa-consultative-forum-condemns-nucrsquos-presidential-scholarship-list.html http://www.peoplesdailyng.com/pressid-sanctity-of-the-constitution-must-be-preserved-house-education-cttee-chair/ https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/daily/news/53270-presidential-scholarship-how-northern-candidates-were-excluded 19 Likes 2 Shares |

Adamsfunakaye: If the below comment from DMainMan was what ticked you off like a time bomb, then something must be wrong somewhere. This is y Pressid was curbed since only d highest ranking candidates gets it thereby Northern states were not included due to their poor performance therefore scrapped. Our leaders are not ready to make Nigeria better. jelani01: I am still looking for where you read what you interpreted above. Where did you school? 10 Likes 1 Share |

Let me interject here. Everyone seems to have an opinion, even on matters they know nothing. Did you take the PRESSID qualifying tests? The results are displayed at the end of your test. The test result is combined with your O level results - 70% and 30% respectively. You can calculate your score and know if you made the grades or not. The pass mark for the second edition was about 66%. The PRESSID scholarship was the one of the most transparent exercises ever carried out by the Nigerian government. Unfortunately, a session of the country consistently outperform another session since no Federal character assurance, only merit. I had many friends that made the 2015 list and these scholars were never sponsored. Merit in Nigeria died on the altar of Federal character. It is high time everyone grew at his or her own pace.

Who is talking about First class here? Can't you reason like an intellectual for once and deal in peace. So because I disagree with your notion and argument, based on this, it means I automatically hate you and your tribe. See me see trouble o!. I don't need to argue with you because it changes nothing.

I wonder why some people who disagree with him (and there is nothing wrong with disagreement) are now coming for him with torrents of invectives. All they needed to do was offer a counterargument if they got one. Anyway, all I can say to you DMainMain is keep balling... 6 Likes

DMainMan:I am very disappointed in you @Dmainman, I always thought you had the capacity clear, coherent and unbigoted thinking but it appears I am wrong. Many Nigerians from the south erroneously believe that Northerners are uneducated, this is far from reality. If you have travelled around Nigeria and have interacted with graduates from the North and South, you will realize that talent and academic potential is spread across the length and breadth of Nigeria. Being a northerner does not make one dull and being a southerner does not make one sharp. Yes, there have been northerners who got the PTDF Scholarship without merit but there are also southerners who got the same PTDF scholarship without merit. I don't know why Pressid was cancelled but I believe if there was true merit in the process almost 50% of the 102 recipients would be northerners. If your position is that there was merit in the Pressid process then you should also agree that there was merit in the recent DSS recruitment exercise that yielded 51 recruits for Katsina and 5 for Akwa Ibom. The reality of Nigeria is that every ethnic group in Nigeria tries to outdo the other when someone from their group occupy any office whether in public or private sector. If a Hausa man occupies an office most of the recruits for that office would be Hausa, same thing happens if an Igbo man occupies the office. Every Nigerian is marganilized and no Nigerian is marginalized. This is the reason for over 50 years of Royal Dutch Shell's operations in Nigeria no northerner has made director or even manager. It is the reason why for over 50 years the Igbo produced a Chief of Army Staff just once. If we want to build a new and better Nigeria, we must move away from painting one group as culprit in our collective failure. We must admit how we have wrong one another and collectively resolved to change our ways. 7 Likes |

Nobody is saying northerners don't have intelligent individuals. The point is that if there's an academic assessment between them and the southerners at any level without any partiality, the southerners will perform overwhelmingly better This is a simple truth 5 Likes |

I had to go back and reread what DMainMan initially posted to understand what triggered this argument and I still do not understand how some of you interpreted it as Northerners not having first class graduates or the North not having good schools. He said a program was discontinued because applicants from the South were outperforming those from the North. If you think he's lying, you should say so but even with that he provided links to buttress his point. Come on guys, we are all applying for advanced degrees which means we should be capable of logical reasoning and what's up with the insults? Can't you disagree with another person without cursing or being obnoxious? 14 Likes |
