Hello everyone, Following the highly successful outcome of the maiden edition of the Xfire Nairaland Undergraduate Quiz Competition held last year, I hereby formerly declare open the 2nd Edition. The first edition was highly competitive with about 300 screened applicants partaking in the online test. The eventual winner, a 400 level Medicine and Surgery student from UNIBEN (exe0) received a total cash prize of N170, 000 (N60,000 from myself supported by N100, 000 from InvertedHammer and N10, 000 from Ariel20. The 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th placed winners also received various cash prizes while the 6th to 15th placed winners received N1, 000 recharge cards each courtesy of GraceBestowed who contributed N10, 000. In the maiden edition, final year students were exempted. But in this edition and subsequent ones, it will be thrown open to all undergraduates. So expect the program to be more competitive.

hmm. But the issue is that, will the question for each level differentiated? cause telling a 100level student like me who just got his first lecture yesterday to go against a 200 level+ student is a suicide mission. 1 Like |
