Osun state with its 'opon Imo' is the worst performing state in the south and in the bottom 10 states nationally

Kudos to Ndi Abia. Abia has toppled Anambra. Imo improved from 9th position last year to 5th position this year. This is a welcome improvement.

While I thank those that did well in the just released WASC examinations, I must point out that all 5 Igbo States made the top 10 and 8 out of the  top 10 are from Eastern Nigeria. Ekiti came first for core Yoruba states at the 11th position. Kudos to the performing Governor Fayose.  But where does all this lead to in Nigeria. Right now we have a President without WASC from Kastina which is number 33 on the list. Supreme court Justice from Gombe at 34. Vice President from Osun 29th position and so on. How does the scores reflect on the National equation.

They are Adamawa, Osun, Sokoto, Bauchi, Kebbi, Katsina, Gombe, Jigawa, Zamfara and Yobe. Lagos with 68, 173 out of 141, 963 candidates that sat for the examination placed sixth on the rankings."Analysis of 2015 WAEC results

Pastor Joe and Vin:

I was just going to make the same comments on Opon Imo.
It appears that the hundreds millions of Naira spent on opon imo
have not yielded the expected results.

It is unwise to depend too heavily on digital education
in an environment in which electricity supply is
in adequate and irregular. Chalk and blackboard,
paper textbooks and exercise books still have their places in modern education,

The best value adding investments in education are the following:

a) ensure the children are well nourished no matter the socio-economic status
of their parents before going to school and during school hours.

b) provide conducive environment for education with well maintained and weather protected
class rooms as it is difficult to achieve excellence in education when the children/students have to take
most of their classes outdoors protected only by shade of the trees or in ramshackle
classrooms with thatched roofs.

c) train and employ ONLY well qualified and well trained teachers in adequate numbers and ensure that their remunerations
are commensurate with their training and their jobs and that such remunerations are paid when due.

It is quite possible that the a more detailed analysis of the WAEC results would confirm the following:

1) students from private secondary schools would have done much better n aggregate than children from
public schools.

2) the higher the socio-economic status and the level of education attained by the parents, the higher the performance
of the students in WAEC and vice versa

The results of the WAEC exams mirror the socio-economic development status of different regions
of Nigeria as they are inversely proportional to the poverty rates in across Nigeria.
Northern Nigerian states have the highest poverty rates in the country. Not surprisingly they also have
the worst results in the WAEC exams.

The journalist who analyzed the 2015 WAEC results would probably not have scored that highly in Geography or
Civics as I noticed that he has shifted Osun state to the Northern Nigeria:)

The year in year out WAEC results constitute an indirect measure of the state of the nation in Nigeria and how
the citizens in her component states and zones are fairing socioeconomically now and how well or badly they would perform in the future.

The most marginalized zones in Nigeria are the NW, NC and the NE. These zones need a "Marshall Plan"
in the form of additional socio-economic stimuli or else they would continue to deter the socio-economic progress in the rest
of Nigeria.

Bye,

Ola

I am not surprised that Osun came 29th out of 36 states in the released WASCE result.

But goons like Afis want us to keep praising Ogbeni who prefers to build an airport that will be overgrown with weeds above building teachers and minds.

Pity!

"Stay thirsty, my friend," Fayose, for more achievements for your state.
 
Governor Fayose is really a blessing to Ekiti state. He deserves the honor, but he should stay thirsty for more advancement of that state.

"Vice President from Osun 29th position"......Chikwuikem Abobaku-designate Ihediwa.


You are talking from your ass again, blowing hot air also known as farts, kidding yourself you are bright.
Is the Vice President from Osun?
I won't waste my time telling you where he's from, because as Odua House concern it is unnecessary.
But stop farting calling it smartness.

And you just woke up now, Dead Boy Otuonye?
Who's competing with Abia or any Onyeoshi States?
I don't think Ogun is competing with Abia on anything except a Dead Boy Otuonye coming out to unearth a Fact about Crowther on how he taught Inyanminrins how to wear loin cloths even if they love leaves and branches.
It wasn't Ogun competing with Abia, since Ogun is light years ahead of all Igbo states, rather it is a Deadhead Otuonye rehashing Crowther's records in translating the Bible into many languages include Igbo.

Vin Otuonye, stop being an ignoramus, Ogun is NOT competing with Igbo states, Afis is not here to represent Ogun in front a moron like you.

A modification is in order. It should read that those who took the exam in Abia and Anambra are tops in the country. And has nothing to do with the state of origin. Conceivably, there are so many Osun state indigenes who sat for the exam in Abia and Anambra and were responsible for excellent performance of the guys who took the exam in Abia and Anambra. On the other hand, the poor showing in the exam in Osun state can be blamed on non indigenes of Osun who took the exam in Osun. Take Ezeana for example. I never attended high school or higher school in my state of Anambra. Akwa Ibom and Abia stole the credits from Anambra. Just as Anambra and Abia stole the credits from Osun state.

Granted Geography was not my favorite subject, but is Osun in the north? It should be noted also that northerners were not the only ones taking the exam in the north. And if Boko Haram could kidnap Chibok girls as they were about to take the exam, that fact weighed heavily on the minds of candidates in the north. How could you concentrate on an exam when you know Boko Haram were on the prow? 

The venue for the exam should be moved to saver Abia and Anambra, where there are no APC Governors. APC is not good to education. Their president is rumored to have no certificate. If he can make it without certificate, others from the north only can also make it without certificate. All those flunkies from the north will aspire to be your presidents in the years to come. All you guys from Abia and Anambra, with your certificates will not aspire to be presidents. Who says crime does not pay? As Dasuki.

"Abia state topped the chart with 33, 762 of its 52, 801 candidates getting five credits and above including Mathematics and English thereby securing 63.94 per cent. Anambra followed with 61.18 per cent as 28, 379 out of 46, 385 candidates performed well.

Edo state came third with 38, 052 of its 62, 327 candidate getting five credits and above while Rivers, Imo, Lagos, Bayelsa, Delta, Enugu and Ebonyi rounding up the top ten in the performance ranking.

Only 646 candidates from the 14, 784 that wrote the exam in Yobe got five credits and above the thereby coming last with 4.27 per cent. Northern states occupied the rear positions with nine northern states in the last ten positions. They are Adamawa, Osun, Sokoto, Bauchi, Kebbi, Katsina, Gombe, Jigawa, Zamfara and Yobe. Lagos with 68, 173 out of 141, 963 candidates that sat for the examination placed sixth on the rankings...." Culled from Newstory.


Afis BirdsEyeView:  I hate non-thinkers. In fact, I see them as time wasters. I don't care when people are wrong, I just check their contribution and see if any Thinking was put into it. 
All my jobs where I headed people, I never fired anyone for being wrong, but I never kept a non-thinker. 
That brings us to this WAEC thing.

Really, I wasn't interested in the above excerpted WAEC crapola because firstly, I know Naija educational system and I don't place too much on it; secondly in my best of judgment like all Nigeria's numbers and satanic verses, I never believed it would represent the real situation of education progress in Nigeria.
I did not read it at first, however, after reading no-brainers from the usual suspects like Vin Otuonye and Joe Attueyi, people who do not allow their minds to mull issues before jumping happy, I decided to actually open the numbers and read it.......my own way.....well I am right again, there ain't nothing there but losers Cheering on National Mediocrity and Shame of a Nation.

Let's break it down:

1. Abia: Out of 52,801, only 33, 762 passed with 5credits.
2. Anambra: Out of 46,385, only 28, 379 performed well.
These are the firsts of the best. Right?

Here is 19th on the Satanic numbers:
Ogun State with 75,994 candidates 25,006 candidates, comprising 12,059 males and 12, 947 females, obtaining five credits and above including English and Mathematics......this looks awful right?

Let's get it straight again: 
25,006 students passed with 5credits in Ogun, and it came 19th.
28, 379 passed in Anambra, and it came 2nd.
33,762 passed in Abia, and it came first?
WHILE EDO CAME 3rd WITH 38,052 PASSED?

Wait a minute, 38,052 passed in Edo, 5,000 more than Abia, but it came third having 10,000 passed more than a state which has 28,379 (Anambra), if you bean counted the numbers!
 
And this is the kicker:  68,173 STUDENTS PASSED IN LAGOS, AND IT CAME 6th.
More students passed in Lagos more than the whole 53,000 that took the exam in Abia!

I wonder what is the noise here?
How high are the differences in the actual students that passed without throwing some "fools paradise" percentages?

Out of over 1,000,000 students in Nigeria, about 500,000 passed in Nigeria as a whole. And Joe Attueyi the fake pastor and fake Nationalist, with another fake Nationalist called Vin Otuonye, are happy about Abia and Anambra.
Who are they kidding?
Are they real Nationalists or Igbo Tribalists with Hate-filled minds?

Our Nationalists are concerned about Yoruba states alone, trying to point out free education started not more than five years ago, and Opon Imo just on its maiden voyage, are the Cause of a National endemic.

THE HALF EMPTY PHENOM:
They are happy about Abia coming first, I ask them to focus on Abia's failure.
Is it a good thing when in Abia about 20,000 failed?
And the morons in Igboland are patting each other on the back just on coming 1st among National Mediocrity.
Is it a good thing when about 50,000 failed in Ogun?
Even when 68,000 passed in Lagos, is it a thing of pride when about 70,000 failed?
And let's not forget that while about 28,000 passed in Anambra, about 20, 000 failed. What are these fools happy about?

Are Nigerians crackpots or they just act that way?

However,  I will recall the following news items of serious exam malpractices in both NECO and WAEC in 2013 (113 schools blacklisted) and 2007 (324 schools blacklisted), in which in many cases the top performance was also correlated with the extent of malpractice in the given states.  

The incidence of miracle centers is real. There is even 2013-black-listed school that I can almost see from the window of my Otuoke VCs office; Community Secondary School,Otuoke, Otuoba.

Read too:


There is a lot of desperation out there, some more desperate than the others because of the differentials attached to the stigma of academic failure.  Not all that glitters is gold....and  success in one level of cheating leads to attempts at success at other levels of cheating.....

So I ask that we suspend the applause, until more evidence is in.

And there you have it.

WAEC blacklists 113 schools over exams fraud

By GABRIEL DIKE

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has withdrawn recognition for 113 secondary schools nationwide, as punishment for examination malpractices. Also, results of 30, 654 candidates, who sat for the May/June 2012 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) have been cancelled. According to Saturday Sun findings, WAEC has also cancelled individual subject results of 83, 745 candidates, released the results of 1, 549 and barred for two years 3, 321 candidates from sitting for the council examination over misconduct during the school exam, in line with the rules and regulations guiding the conduct of the examination.

The cancelled results were among the 112, 000 results of candidates withheld for their involvement in examination malpractice out of 1, 695, 878 candidates that sat for the May/June 2012 WASSCE. Only 38.81 per cent (649, 156) of the total candidates that sat for the May/June 2012 WASSCE obtained five credits in English Language, Mathematics and three other subjects, thus were qualified for admissions into universities and polytechnics.

The Nigeria Examinations Committee (NEC) of the council took the far-reaching decisions in Lagos after it deliberated on evidences (exhibits) produced by the council, which were seized from some candidates involved in examination malpractice. Other decisions taken by NEC include recommendation for sanctions against 97 supervisors/principals/other examination personnel identified and reported to their various state ministries of education, while 21 supervisors also indicted were blacklisted.

The WAEC committee also recommended that 465 secondary schools be warned for aiding and abetting examination malpractice during the 2012 May/June WASSCE, granted clemency to eight candidates even as the certificates of 12 others were withdrawn after they asked for restitution. The NEC, which was chaired by the Director of Basic and Secondary Education), Ministry of Education, Abuja, directed that the allegations against 930 candidates be further investigated, while their results are withheld.

Also, the council withdrew the recognition of six schools and commended one staff. A breakdown of schools sanctioned nationwide revealed that majority came from the South-South, followed by those from the North, South East and South West. Government-owned schools top the list of those involved in exam fraud. The NEC recommendation shows that recognition for 21 schools were withdrawn for two years. Also, recognition for 43 others were withdrawn, along side the principals of the schools.

Saturday Sun learnt that the council has communicated the decisions of NEC to the state ministries of education, which is expected to take action against the schools and principals indicted by WAEC.

    Wait a minute, 38,052 passed in Edo, 5,000 more than Abia, but it came third having 10,000 passed more than a state which has 28,379 (Anambra), if you bean counted the numbers!
     
    And this is the kicker:  68,173 STUDENTS PASSED IN LAGOS, AND IT CAME 6th.
    More students passed in Lagos more than the whole 53,000 that took the exam in Abia!

    I wonder what is the noise here?
    How high are the differences in the actual students that passed without throwing some "fools paradise" percentages?

    Out of over 1,000,000 students in Nigeria, about 500,000 passed in Nigeria as a whole. And Joe Attueyi the fake pastor and fake Nationalist, with another fake Nationalist called Vin Otuonye, are happy about Abia and Anambra.
    Who are they kidding?

    UNQUOTE


    May your tribe of thinkers increase tremendously!  Of those who failed, some tried to cheat, and they would even have failed more.  Of those who passed, quite a number of them would NOT have done so if they had not used "miracle centers."

    So, we should be concerned at:

      (1)  the number who failed;  both nationwide (1,029,871 failed out of 1,590,284 total candidates)  and on a state-wise basis (eg, in my Ekiti State, 12,379 failed out of 21,333 total candidates), they are SIMPLY too many, and is a national crisis.  We should always remember that some of the candidates who passed or failed in other states MAY be indigenes of Ekiti or other states.

      (2)  of those who passed, where do they go next?  Every year, our universities and tertiary institutes can only absorb 400,000 out of 1.5 million that take JAMB every year - and many of those absorbed are not into courses of their choice, but just want to get into university by any means necessary.

    So chest-beating over these numbers is egregiously jejune.....

    And there you have it.

    South-eastern states lead as WASSCE releases 2015 May/June results

    By John Owen Nwachukwu on February 5, 2016














    States in the South-eastern part of Nigeria have retained their lead as details of the May/June 2015 West African Senior School Certificate Examination results were made public on Thursday.

    The region is leading in the performance chart of candidates who obtained credits in at least five subjects, including English Language and Mathematics. Abia State topped the chart with 33,762 of its 52,801 candidates.

    In four Federal Government colleges, no candidate obtained five credits and above, including English and Mathematics.

    The schools are the Federal Government Girls’ College, Bajoga, Gombe State; FGGC, Bauchi; FGGC Gboko, and the Federal Science and Technical College, Kafanchan.

    To ensure university admission in the country, a student must obtain credits in five subjects and above, including English Language and Mathematics.

    In the chart, Anambra State came second with 28, 379 out of 46, 385 candidates. While Abia State scored 63.94 per cent, Anambra got 61.18 per cent out of 100 per cent.

    Edo State emerged third with 38, 052 of its 62, 327 candidates getting five credits and above. It had 61.05 per cent. Rivers and Imo states came fourth and fifth respectively.

    Meanwhile, with 4.37 per cent, Yobe State came last on the 2015 rankings list with only 646 candidates obtaining five credits and above including English and Mathematics. Fourteen thousand, seven hundred and eighty-four pupils, comprising 10, 807 males and 3,977 females, sat for the examination in the state.

    Apart from Yobe State, seven other northern states took the bottom positions in the rankings involving the 36 states and Abuja. They are Zamfara (36th), Jigawa (35th), Gombe (34th), Katsina (33rd), Kebbi (32nd) Bauchi (31st) and Sokoto (30th).

    Lagos with 68, 173 out of 141, 963 candidates that sat for the examination is placed sixth on the rankings. In fact, 32, 595 males and 35, 578 females obtained the required benchmark for university admission.

    The statistics as obtained by Punch on Thursday showed that Osun and Oyo states placed 29th and 26th respectively. While 8,801 candidates out of 48,818 obtained the basic entry requirement for university admission in Osun, Oyo State recorded only 21.03 per cent success in the examination.

    Of the 78,896 candidates Oyo State presented, only 16,588 of them obtained five credits and above including English and Mathematics.

    According to a WAEC source, the breakdown is the consolidated results approved by the council following its National Examinations Committee meeting held in November.

    One million five hundred and ninety thousand, two hundred and eighty-four candidates sat for the examination in which only 562, 413 candidates obtained credits in five subjects and above including English Language and Mathematics.

    Put differently, 1,029,871 representing 64.63 per cent failed to obtain admission requirement to the nation’s universities.

    Mr. Charlse Eguridu, the former Head of National of the council, announced the release of the results last August.

    A further breakdown of the 2015 results, revealed that the seventh, eighth, ninth and 10th positions went to Bayelsa, Delta, Enugu and Ebonyi states in that order.

    Ekiti State is placed 11th with 8,954 out of its 21, 333 candidates that sat for the examination getting the required admission benchmark.

    Kaduna, Ondo, Abuja, Kogi, Benue, Akwa Ibom, and Kwara states came 12th, 13th, 14, 15th and 16th in that order.

    Ogun State with 75,994 candidates occupied the 19th position. The state bagged 32.89 per cent with its 25, 006 candidates, comprising 12,059 males and 12, 947 females, obtaining five credits and above including English and Mathematics.

    In the 20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th and 25 slots are Cross River, Taraba, Plateau, Nassarawa, Kano and Borno states in that order. While 15,903 candidates out of 62,511 obtained the benchmark in Kano, 5,347 out of 21,695 got the same results in Borno.

    Adamawa and Niger states seat on the rankings list ahead of Osun State. They are on the 27th and 28th. While Osun State recorded 18.03 per cent success, Niger and Adamawa states got 19.66 and 18.08 per cent respectively.

    Meanwhile, the federal Government Girl’s College, Benin outshined the others with 230 of its 232 candidates meeting the University requirements in the performance register for the 104 Federal Government colleges in the same examination.

    The Federal Government Girls’ College, Kazaure, occupied the second slot with only two of its pupils also missing the benchmark. But while FGGC Benin, obtained 99.14 per cent, its Kazaure counterpart, got 98.10 per cent.

    The breakdown showed that the Federal Government College, Rubochi, came third with its 146 candidates, comprising 94 males and 52 females, out of 156 that sat for the examination putting up good showings.

    The Federal Government Academy, Suleja; FGC, Okigwe, and the FGC, Nise, came fourth, fifth and sixth.

    From the Unity schools in Lagos, the FGC, Ijanikin, which occupied the seventh position in the rankings, emerged the best in the state with 357 out of its 387 candidates that sat for the examination obtaining the basic university entry requirement.

    It came ahead of the over 100-year-old Kings College (18th), Federal Science and Technical College, Yaba (21st) and the Queens College (54th). While 361 out of 452 candidates obtained their papers at KC, 181 out of 413 females succeeded at QC.

    Occupying the eighth, ninth, 10th, 11th and 12th positions are the FGC, Okposi; FGC, Ikole-Ekiti; FGGC Efon-Alaye; FGGC, Minjibir, and the FGC, Jos, in that order.

    From the statistics, it was observed that of the 74 candidates that sat for the examination at the FGGC, Bajoga, no one got the basic admission requirement.

    It was the scenario at the FGGC, Bauchi and Gboko. Whereas 143 candidates sat for the examination in the Bauchi school, 144 females did the same at the FGGC, Gboko.

    For the FSTC, Kafanchan, of the 40 candidates, comprising 29 males and 11 females that sat for the examination, no one also obtained the minimum entry requirements to the university.

    Of the 26 Unity schools occupying the bottom positions on the performance chart, 22 of them are located in the North. The other four colleges are the FGGC, Ikot Obio Itong, Ukam at 89th position; FGGC, Calabar (92nd); FSTC, Uyo (93rd) and the FGC, Idoani, Ondo State occupying the 96th position.

    In the May/June 2014 WASSCE, 529,425 candidates, representing 31.28 per cent of the candidates, obtained the minimum university entry requirement. One million, six hundred and ninety-two thousand, four hundred and thirty-five candidates sat for the examination that year.

    In May/June 2013, 639,334 candidates, representing 38.30 per cent, qualified to seek admission to university in the country. One million five hundred and forty-three thousand, six hundred and eight-three candidates sat for the examination.

    Dr Kassim,
    In fairness to the students of Osun state, less than 30% of them got 'opon Imo'. It was an opportunity to award a contract to the governor's son. And pay 'mobilization ' to the pay-per-post vuvuzulas who went about praising it as the next best thing after sliced bread. There is nothing you wrote below that was not apparent before the fact to any student of public policy

    In addition to yours below, one thing that has worked is the return of confiscated schools to their previous owners/ old students association. Just imagine that St Charles is returned to its previous proprietors. It's old students like Ayo will rally round to return old school to its old glory. This will not only relieve the state of some of its burden but will indirectly tax some of the citizens to give back to society through rebuilding their alma mater 

    Since Gregs was handed back to the Catholic mission, the old boys have spent in excess of N100 Million revamping its infrastructure and standards. States should borrow successful ideas from each other 

    You wrote:
    The most marginalized zones in Nigeria are the NW, NC and the NE. These zones need a "Marshall Plan"
    in the form of additional socio-economic stimuli or else they would continue to deter the socio-economic progress in the rest
    of Nigeria.

    My own suggestion is a 'marshal plan' for education nationally. Free , compulsory , quality education for every Nigerian child up to at least JS3. Compulsory in the sense that if your child is found begging or selling akara or not in school it will be a crime committed by the parent or guardian 

    If we have to tax fuel N10 per liter and tax every house higher than a bungalow and tax every car bigger than 1.2 liter engine and put 100% levy on private jets etc to fund it so be it. In one generation we will drastically reduce illiteracy. And who knows, may produce our own Bill Gates etc

    We should all be ashamed of the poor level of education in Nigeria as a whole. 

    In that poor level, the bottom 10 states should even be more ashamed of being bottom of the poor pile

    But the worst shame should be reserved for Osun state and its paid vuvuzulas. A state that has the heritage of Awo's free education, has regaled us of having gone digital with educating its children through opon Imo and lo and behold Borno state under the constant threat of Boko Haram has performed better than Osun. 

    Very shameful.

    Ola, Joe Attueyi:

    Let me second Joe Attueyi's ideas, and outline them as follows:

    1.  An educational emergency should be declared in the ENTIRE country.


    2.  In the PRIMARY school, the MINIMUM number of different subjects should be taught and no more:

          (a) English (writing, reading, comprehension, speaking)  
          (b) Arithmetic  
          (c) one native language (spoken)
          (d) Social Studies (Civics, History, Geography)  
          (e) Hygiene and Nature Studies, with a strong experimental science bent (f) etc
          (f) Graduates without jobs should be heavily recruited such that the 20:1 ratio (or so) per class is achieved.
          (g) Public primary school should be FREE to all.

    etc,

    3.  In the SECONDARY school:

           (a)  strong emphasis on Scientific Education (Problem-solving) and teamwork, with emphasis too on Science education.
           (b)  all NGOs and other PROPRIETORS that want their schools back should be given them back.
           (c)  all Alumni and private companies should be encouraged to ADOPT-A-SCHOOL.
           (d)  all others can be retained for LOCAL GOVERNMENT control, and a few as STATE secondary schools.
           (e)  Education to JSS 3 should be free, with ALL students mandatorily CERTIFIED in one WORK-SKILL or other, otherwise no graduation.
           (f)  In SSS, parents should be urged to pay one-third of the fees, with students certified EITHER in a DIFFERENT skill
                from their JSS one, or in a HIGHER CERTIFICATION in the same skill with which they graduated in JSS.
           (8) Tertiary education slots should be GUARANTEED to at least 70% of SSS graduates.
    etc.      

    4.  In the UNIVERSITY 

            (a) all universities (old and new) must show a plan of having NO LESS than 50 - 1000,000 undergraduate students total within a 10-year period, otherwise they won't be approved (if to be newly established) or their continuation (if old) is threatened.
            (b)  school fees should be charged, but scholarships, grants and loans should be offered.
            (c)  enforcement of 60-40 or even 70-30 STEM-nonSTEM course (STEM- Science, Technology, Engineering, Math)
            (d)  two-year NYSC, followed by post-NYSC disbursement of a Special Enterpreneurship Fund for New Graduates.

    etc,

    Other ideas are welcome.

    And there you have it.


    Bolaji Aluko

    PS:  I remind everyone about my Education Template.  We have ALWAYS to address each of these eleven items below HOLISTICALLY at each level of education:

                  - students 
                  - academic staff
                  - non-academic staff
                  - curriculum
                  - teaching and learning facilities
                  - living and recreational facilities
                  - finances
                  - governance structures
                  - community relations
                  - standards, quality control, examinations and accreditation
                  - post-graduation opportunities

    Prof Aluko,
    I truly wish that folks like you and Abba Gumel will get an opportunity to run Nigeria's education policy at the highest levels. Anytime I read your educational policy proposals ( or in Abba's case discuss with him his ideas) I keep asking myself : if the folks that run our education don't have these ideas don't they read ? Or can't they bring original thinkers as advisers ?

    Then I remember Nigeria is the place where the cream never rises to the top

    My People:

    Here is an example below of how ALUMNI can change the face of their SECONDARY SCHOOL - Methodist High School, Ilesa:

    If the state or federal government were to institute an an annual revolving multi-billion-naira ALUMNI-MATCHING FUND - one-third to be spent in secondary schools, and two-thirds in universities -  whereby for every one-naira spent by alumni, the federal government would add one- or two-naira until all the funds are EXHAUSTED in a given year, you will see many alumni fall over themselves to chip in.

    And there you would have it.

    Old students lift school with new learning facilities

    AUTHOREric Dumo
    February 6, 2016

    Pupils and members of staff of the Methodist High School, Ilesa, Osun State, were left in awe last Saturday when old students of the school presented facilities and infrastructure worth N35m to their alma mater.

    The presentation was the highlight of events to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the school’s establishment.

    Joy was clearly written on the face of the principal, Mr. Daramola Oluwole, as dignitaries arrived the premises of the school to inaugurate the newly refurbished six blocks of building consisting 37 classrooms, school hall, principal’s office and the main gate now housing a security post.

    The historic occasion was made more colourful by the presence of some prominent Nigerians, which included the Owa Obokun, Oba Gabriel Adekunle Aromolaran II and the state’s Deputy     Governor of the State of Osun, Otunba (Mrs.)Titi Laoye-Tomori.

    Before the intervention, many of the classrooms in the school had almost completely collapsed, making learning for pupils a Herculean task. According to Oluwole, many of the pupils had been sent home because of leaking roof on a few occasions.

    “If you had visited this school before it was fixed by the old pupils, you never could have believed what your eyes would see. Learning was very difficult for the pupils and even teachers found it hard to discharge their duties in classrooms with almost no roof.

    “But the new look of the entire school has brought renewed energy into not just the pupils but the teachers who are willing to give the best of their abilities,” he said.

    The rebuilt blocks of classrooms were fitted with new doors, windows, ceilings, roof and were also given a new painting.

    According to the President of the Old Students Association, Mr. Dideolu Falobi, the entire project which was fully funded by the alumni of the institution, cost about N35m.

    He said it was their own way of giving back to the school that laid the foundation for the success many of them now enjoy today.

    “For many of us, this is where it all started. The Methodist High School, Ilesa, is where we were put on the right track as young boys and girls and prepared for the journey ahead.

    “We thought of many things to do for the school but we realised that nothing would count more than rebuilding the learning environment itself because we found out that no meaningful academic exercise can take place under such place.

    “The future of the present crop of pupils of the school means a lot to us including those that would still pass through this institution and that is why we have tasked ourselves even in this difficult period of cash crunch to also lay the foundation for many generations to come. We are extremely proud of this,” he said.

    Speaking at the event, a former student and current Vice-Chancellor of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Osun State, Prof. Bamitale Omole, said the day marked the beginning of a new and prosperous era for the school. Apart from having the potential to improve the academic performance of pupils, he said the new infrastructure would also provide an atmosphere conducive for quality mental development.

    While commending the efforts of the old students in transforming the school, Laoye-Tomori pledged government’s support for the education sector in the state.

    If you were from the north, and your bread is already well buttered, and Buhari is the president, you say what the heck, why bother. Western education is trumped by being from the north. After all, GEJ has his Ph.D., but look at Dasuki? $2.1 billion and nobody knows or cared if he attended elementary school when a guy from Bayelsa with a Ph.D. let him manage $2.1 billion. And Dasuki defense attorneys don't know the best defense strategy? What do you expect from someone without even elementary education when you give him $2.1? And what do you expect from someone without a certificate? Disaster. And that is exactly what Nigeria bargained for and got. I will rule Dasuki innocent on account of no education. If someone can be judged innocent on account of insanity, somebody ought to be ruled innocent on account of lack of education. 

    Let me tell you something. It can be depressing to excel in academics and roam the streets of Nigeria as unemployed while  folks without credentials are heading departments where all they have to do is use their thumb print to approve anything waved across their faces. That famous $2.1 billion may yet be $21 billion. The guy with education kept the difference because he knew that Dasuki could not possibly know the difference. When I look at all those buildings in Dubai and who owns them, I say, it is not $2.1 billion. It was $21 billion. If you can command that much without western education, why bother going to school? Can you imagine? GEJ with Ph.D.  Ngozi with Ph.D.  Dasuki with $21 billion. Abia first in education. The guy from Yobe with $21 billion. And the guy from Katsina wants to borrow $billions from IMF. IMF better not look at the list. Because if they do, that loan application will be thrashed.

    The southerners are not taking advantage of their education. Will someone from Yobe or Katsina know the difference between $2.1 billion and N2.1 billion? That is why I get angry when I recall that Soludo was succeeded by Sanusi and Sanusi is Emir and Soludo was attempting to tell the guy from Katsina how to run CBN. If there is no money at CBN, IMF and World Bank have money with which to restock CBN with real money, dollars.

    Are you insinuating that the few guys who were successful in Osun were the 30% who were given Ipon Imo in Osun? That matters could have been worse in Osun without Ipon imo? If only 30% got Ipon imo, how do you think the other 70% felt? Dejected? Of course. And they let Osun get it. If Osun really want success, every student in Osun state must be given Ipon imo. You will never determine if Ipon imo is a successful tool until Ipon imo is furnished to every student in Osun state. Okorocha probably tried Ipon Imo in Imo, and that was why Imo improved from last year. 

    Here is a question. What the heck is Ipon imo? I forgot. Did they get their funding from Dasuki?

    Not so fast. Only 30% got Ipon Imo in Osun state. But some students in Osun state had passing scores in the exam. Have you considered that maybe only the students with Ipon imp in Osun state passed the exam?

    Look. Buhari has been in office for almost a year now. The economy is tanking and he is gone on vacation. You keep telling us to give him. Time and everything will eventually turn out fine. But why are bad mouthing Ipon imo without equally giving it time to prove itself? I believe that Ipon imo just needs some tweaking here and there and Osun will soar from bottom of the pile to top of the pile. People laughed at the Wright brothers when they thought of a flying machine. Now, I can spend a night in Chicago and the next you know, I am with my aunt at Enugu. Ipon imo is getting a wrong rap.

    Always remember that this has always been the case. VC Aluko and JUI knew what they were doing when they sneaked into aka Igbo to go to school. Are you surprised that UNN is highest rank university in Nigeria. VC Aluko and JUI are part of the proof. If they had gone to school elsewhere, would they be working today?

    VC Aluko:

    Not so fast. In my era, in class of 30 students, if five students passed in grade 1, the parents of the other 25 had a problem on their hands. They would wonder what they and their children did differently from what the other five did? If every student failed, the system was to blame. I remember the teachers preaching the gospel according to parable of the sower. I told you I had alpha in RK. The sower would sow the seeds. Some of the seeds fell on fertile grounds, like in Abia and Anambra, some fell on the rocks, like in Osun, and some got gobbled up by the birds, as in Yobe and Katsina. As long as the students are passing in some parts of Nigeria, don't blame the system. There will always be dunces among us. 

    Not any more are the parents and students blamed for their failures, the entire system is blamed. Why? How many students from Abia and Anambra have ever been to Dubai? How many students from Yobe and Katsina routinely spend their weekends in Dubai? Instead of blaming the system, why not blame the failing students for not doing what students in Abia and Anambra have done consistently: study. You can only take the horse to the river, but you can never force the horse to drink. 

    If Abia and Anambra students are consistently outperforming others, I keep wondering what would happen if folks from  Abia and Anambra were running the joint called Nigeria, what would happen? Remember now that Aba is in Abia and Nnewi is in Anambra. When you talk of made in Nigeria, you are talking of Abia and Anambra. I just put in an order for those Biafra brand shoes from Aba in Abia. Ghana imports Innoson cars from Nnewi in Anambra. Outsource the management of Nigerian affairs to Aba and Anambra and Nigeria will begin to look like obodo Oyibo o.

    Education is like food. Some have the appetite but no food, as those students who really want to go to school but can't because they can't even afford the fees to take the entrance exams. Then there are those who have the food but not the appetite, talking about Yobe and Katsina and Osun. But thank God and the gods for folks who have the appetite and the food: Abia, Anambra in Igbo land. I am going to drink to that. No wonder Biafra is a done deal.

    There are times when it is inappropriate to gloat
    in public over one's successes especially when there are others
    in the audience who are less fortunate.

    At least 32% of the students in Abia and Anambra the two best performing states
    in the 2015 WAEC who
    despite 'having the appetite and the food for education' as you implied
    also did not get enough credits to have 'passed' the WAEC exams,
    if the benchmark is the minimum requirement for admission to a university.

    The goal of education in Nigeria should not necessarily be to have each and every'student
    get enough credits so he or she could attend university. The goal of the educational system
    should be to train all students in a manner that maximizes their potentials so that they could
    use their natural abilities to pursue vocations in all fields of life.

    Nigeria, just like all other countries in the world need not only university graduates--but also
    less well formally educated graduates who have obatined requisite skills in carpentry, bricklayering,
    farming, crane operators, tool and dye and other vocations and fields of life. A world full of only university graduates, most of whom only push
    pen and paper would be a boring, unhappy and economically unproductive world.

    And the reason a 'whole' me will pander to Prof Aluko and/or Abba is? I doubt you know the meaning of the words you throw about. 

    Here is the bio on the current minister of education:

    '...he was a Personal Assistant to the late Solomon Lar, who was the pioneer National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and former Governor of Plateau state, on the platform of the Nigerian People’s Party (NPP) during the Nigerian Second Republic.

    He has been an ardent follower of President Buhari for many years and it is for this reason many see Adamu as anti-PDP.

    He was part of those who accompanied the Rtd General Buhari to Bauchi State during the 2007 elections to sell the candidacy of Governor Isa Yuguda as the then ANPP gubernatorial candidate."

    And you think Prof Aluko or Abba will not be a substantial upgrade on this gentleman as minister of education?

    "I truly wish that folks like you and Abba Gumel will get an opportunity to run Nigeria's education policy at the highest levels." - Joe the Panderer

    I do NOT!

    These two gentlemen have excellent apex education, but it doesn't follow that - on the strength of that alone - they are the best in their field among Nigerians, even though, for Abba Gumel, I cannot imagine another better Nigerian (or any other person I know) mathematician who is. The quy is just phenomenal in his field judging just from his work on the mathematics of HIV pandemics, a disciple I was, myself, very involved in and, indeed, was on the US National Institutes of Health (Laboratory of Tumor Cell Biology under Dr. Robert Gallo) team that discovered HIV in fall of 1984 in cooperation with Dr. Luc Montagnier's Pastuer Institute in France.

    Bolaji is a different story because his professional reputation is only self-verifying, even though he is the best political bric-a-brac blogger I know!

    Google both and you'd see what I mean.

    Even if they are the best in their field, their contribution should be limited only to curriculum development in their fields since their qualification and professional experience cannot include the needs of other disciplines, like music , art, religion, and philosophy or administrator skills.

    The qualification to lead an education system requires a different set of skills, just as the administrator of a hospital or health care system requires a skill set that is completely different from those that make the best surgeons or diagnosticians.

    Therefore, as far as qualification to lead any educational system is concerned, Bolaji wouldn't qualify to be a chair of the Montgomery County (local government) - the local county in the US that he lived in before he found a way to relocate to Otouke - Board of Education because his qualification as a lecturer in chemical engineering hardly qualifies him to do so. hat alone wouldn't even qualify him to be the principal of his local high school!

    This is clearly demonstrated in his recommendation to improve school curriculum for Nigerian schools in which the only things he emphasized are things that help you make a good living (scientist; science education and mathematics) and a good politician (civics and history), with no mention of philosophy and sociology - the bane of liberal arts education (which he never benefitted from) and is the mental infrastructure of an educated mind and good public citizenry.

    More importantly, you (Joe Attueyi) are no way qualified to know the qualifications of the best person to lead public education policy in Nigeria because we are not talking about fishing in Ajegunle creek!

    Most of the problems in the Third World countries derives from the the selection of those to lead them in different aspects of societal leadership because they are not based on qualification and the matching of those qualification to the skill sets needed for the positions they are appointed to. They are based just on who they know and who they claim they are.

    The result is that, after their appointments, they are constantly improvising because they really don't have the skill sets to allow them to perform as they should in their positions.

    A person with a high school general science eduation is better in a position that requires science knowledge than a Harvard or Oxford graduate of history or even economics that has never had any science education; Nigerians just focus on he Ph.D and what the charlatan (or their admirers and promoters) claims!

    Nigeria will work well if round pegs are put in round holes and square pegs left in square holes.

    There is no difference between an Osun student who failed his/her exams and an accountant who says he will retain a wrong conclusion even when faced with CORRECT FACTS. Since both of them would not respond to correct answers because of a lack of comprehension skills; one could therefore not question the other. They both lack the same abilities--just that the current situation is now obvious while the previous is not so. One became an accountant not necessarily because of "education"; the other could also therfore become "somebody", as long as Nigeria is "working" the way it had been since at least the 80s, when the accountant became so.

    Dear Afis and Prof,



    This is how irrendentism blinds people.  Instead of
    lamenting fake Pastor Attueyi and fake nationalist Vin
    Otuonye are jubilant.  The products of cheating are useless
    to themselves and to the country as a whole and their so
    called states in particular. 
    The are the cultists in the making.  The ballot box
    snatchers and the treasury looters.  This is the exact same
    process that produced the ineffectual buffon these two were
    routing for because he is Ijaw and he presided over the
    worst rape of Nigeria.



    It is times like this that I want to give serious
    thought to the people like Afis who want the Yoruba
    nation.  The omoluabi nation where we do not have to mix
    with cheats and thieves and those who celebrate cheating and
    mass corruption.  An Onummonu came
    here the other day and wanted to die for Ibori and wanted
    us to follow him in die-ing for a common thief.  This is
    the reason why a whole President presiding over the heist of
    government finances will say stealing is not
    corruption.



    How many of these students will get into the
    universities and get a worthwhile education that will lead t
    national development?  We are looking at the next
    generation of state ruin-ers being unleashed and instead of
    serious thinking we are seeing misplaced
    exultant foolish celebration of future disaster.



    We are in serious trouble.  I see so many Fayoses
    among these Abia students.



    Cheers.



    IBK

    Anambra battles common enemy: illicit drugs



    Of the 235 Nigerians jailed in Thailand for illicit drugs, 200 hail from Anambra State. That is why the state, in conjunction with National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) is fighting to reverse the trend. 

    NWANOSIKE ONU reports

    Banned drugs are wreaking havoc in Anambra State. The government and the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) are battling to tackle the problem. 

    There may be some success in the war against Indian hemp but harder drugs such as cocaine and heroin seem to be proving tougher to contain. Two hundred of the 235 Nigerians in Thailand’s jails hail from the state, said Governor Willie Obiano at a forum organised to fashion out new ways to stop the illicit business.

    Obiano was represented at the event by the Secretary to the State Government Prof Solo Chukwu-lobelu, who noted that some communities in the state had become havens for drug addicts.

    This is frightening, he said, and must stop.

    At the forum, stakeholders agreed that the fight against doing trafficking and abuse should be continuous adding that all hands must be on deck.

    They spoke at the Prof. Dora Akunyili Women Development Centre in Awka, the state capital. They regretted the agency’s lack of resources to effectively to crush the illicit drug business.

    The theme of the lecture was “Curbing Abuse and Trafficking in Illicit Drug in Nigeria, how far, how well”. Dr. Kabir Mato of the Department of Political Science and International Relations, University of Abuja was the guest lecturer.

    In a paper, he advocated that states and local governments should provide more money for the NDLEA in order to effectively tackle the menace.

    He said, “This support could come in form of logistics and monetary support in a coordinated manner, that would assist in confronting drug cartels, because such cartels are often financially very strong and willing to deploy huge resources to deal with any opposition as may come from the agency.”

    He also said state and local governments should maintain and enforce drinking age limits and constantly monitor retailers for compliance as well as stop selling alcohol to drunks.

    “State and local governments should enforce legal requirement for installation of ignition interlocks in the vehicles of those convicted of drug use and abuse-impaired driving,” he said. “State and local governments should strengthen and monitor prescription drug programmes and facilitate controlled drug disposal programmes, including policies allowing pharmacies to accept unwanted drugs.”

    The state commander of NDLEA Mr. Sule Momodu said the aim of the lecture was to partner with communities and local government areas to see how to end the menace in the state.

    He said in 2015 the command convicted 30 suspects, adding that the huge challenge was for the agency and the government to re-strategise.

    Momodu asked, “If cannabis sativa challenge is reducing, why are heroin and cocaine on the increase in the state?” He said there was need to address the situation.

    He thanked Governor Obiano for helping the agency in the state, adding that the governor had been in the forefront of NDLEA activities in the state.

    It was suggested that building rehab centers might be necessary given the prevalence of the use and effects of prohibited drugs in the state, but Obiano said the state would want to be the first in the zone to do so. He would rather get Anambra residents off such drugs than herd them into rehab institutions.

    retain a wrong conclusion even when faced with CORRECT

    answers because of a lack of comprehension skills; one
    could therefore not question the other. They both lack the
    same abilities--just that the current situation is now
    obvious while the previous is not so. One became an
    accountant not necessarily because of "education";
    the other could also therfore become "somebody",
    as long as Nigeria is "working" the way it had
    been since at least the 80s, when the accountant became so.

    Quote from below:

    And another reason not to celebrate or gloat over the WAEC results in Nigeria is the following that was shared with me a few months ago:

    "The brightest students in high school in Nigeria will end up attending universities and become professors, physicians, engineers, lawyers, nurses, bankers,  etc.

    The second tier of bright students will become entrepreneurs and administrators in the public and private sectors of the economy and occupy positions in which they would be the bosses responsible for the hiring and firing of the brightest of their classmates who have become professionals and professors. 

    Some of the third  tier of Nigerian students on the academic scale would be those who either failed WAEC completely or failed to make the WAEC benchmark, but nevertheless manage to become rich politicians who will rule over the first and second tier of students who were much brighter than they were in primary and high schools and other former classmates who have entered less financially rewarding but nevertheless important vocations such as artisanship, mechanics, bricklayers etc.."

    And who says democracy is a perfect form of government when it allows the near morons in the society to rule over those who are much brighter than they are!"--Ola

    UnQuote

    Bye,

    Ola

    Vin:

    If we were to stretch  your logic a little bit farther it is quite possible
    that each and every one of the approx. 32% of the students
    in Anambra and Abia state who did not make the 2015 WAEC benchmark
    were children of non-Igbo migrants in these states!:)

    Ethnicity should be declared a NO GO area in all areas of human
    endeavour in Nigeria, considering our tendency to bastardize each and
    every diversifying characteristi c that the Almighty God has purposefully created 
    to make the human experience on earth a less boring one.

    Can you imagine a world full of only Igbo or Yoruba men, women and children.
    Such a world would be a boring one in my own opinion.

    Please learn to embrace diversity in every form.

    No ethnic group in Nigeria was created to be brighter than any other.

    Give the children in Yobe the same life time oportunities as the ones in Anambra and Abia
    state and you will soon discover how much better they would perform in the WAEC exams.

    I agree with Dan that there is nothing to celebrate in these results by any state unless we consider
    it worthwhile to glorify  the best products of a woeful educational system that has continued to rob Nigerian
    children of their future.

    What is there to celebrate when over 50% of the students who obtain the WAEC university admission benchmark
    and are admitted to universities in Nigeria cannot write or verbally express temselves coherently in English and their
    own mother tongues?

    What is there to celebrate when the 60 to 70% of the graduates from Nigerian univeristies wiuld have no real jobs to
    look forward to beyond their NTSC years up to ten years following their graduation.

    And another reason not to celebrate or gloat over WAEC results in Nigeria is the following:

    The brightest students in high school in Nigeria will end up attending universities and become
    professors, physicians, scientists, engineers, lawyers, nurses, bankers etc.

    The second tier of students on the academic scale would become entrepreneurs and administrators in the public and private sectors of the economy and coocupy positions in which they would be the bosses responsible for the hiring and firing of the brightest of their classmates who have become professionals. 

    The third  tier of Nigerian students on the academic scale would be those who either failed WAEC completely
    or failed to make the WAEC benchmark, but nevertheless manage to become politicians who will rule over the first and second tier of students who were much brighter than they were in primary and high schools.

    And who says democracy is a perfect form of government when it allows the near morons in the society to ule
    over those who are much brighter than they are!

    Bro Veee,
    The overall WAEC result is horrible and deserve no celebrations by anyone whether his or her state is rated first or second.
    I have no pride in such statistics on the result because 50%  or more  national failure rate in 
    that exam  is abysmal.

    The quote does not include ethnicity, and that makes the quote an inaccurate assessment of the true situation. An Igbo who failed WAEC is not going to rule anyone in Nigeria. An Igbo is not going to rule anyone in Nigeria. Period. An Igbo who failed WAEC and became a politician is going to be probed and prosecuted in a hurry. An Igbo who passed WAEC and got into politics is going to be probed and prosecuted in a hurry. Metuh readily comes to mind for now.

    Please don't stretch anything I say. I just want to heap it on the tribalist,  Afis, who see ethnicity in everything in Nigeria. I hope the live coals I have on his head is burning him. I am not from Abia. Neither am I from Anambra. I am a Nigerian. The WAEC result is a national shame. With respect to what you wrote below,  it is a universal phenomenon. I remember George Bush Jr once saying that even "C" students end up becoming POTUS.

    Afis,


    Smart and reasonable Yoruba  agrees with Igbos and encourages  Igbo success in education as  you can see from their comments below, but  people like you with your tribal hate Kindergarten reasoning,  and tamper tantrum episode always want to use Nigeria notorious corruption prism to examine and discredit good things  that is happening in Igboland today and forever- I say Amen.

     

    For 30 years now, Igbos have done well in education and health advancement like girls education, infant mortality and literacy levels as the best and  highest in Nigeria and among the best in Africa. fact is that if you add the high population of Igbo Students score and grads who lives in Lagos, Oyo, Ekiti, Kwara, Kano, Kaduna, Edo, and in all parts of Nigeria.  and add it to the score of  Students in  Igbo land of  South East, the rest of Nigeria will look miserable bad like Yobe , Zamfara, Afghanistan and Gombe in their poor performance.We don't want to do that yet and that is why you are talking. If we do that you will be shamed.


    This trend has been happening for over 30 years and since after the uncivil war  showing that South East Igbos in the last 30 years have been leading and beating every region both in boys and girls education in enrollment and graduation from elementary to University levels.


    This brings into question on what Nigeria population should be facts or false population. Nigeria population count Is a fraudulent exercise and will always be. The is no way  South East Igbo tribe for over  30 years now  and in every year since then have lead by wide margin in enrollment and graduation  every year for 30 years  from primary school, secondary school and University level education can have a small population than the North or West as Nigeria population and INEC election vote registration falsely claims. I have an article posted below with links and references on Nigeria false population and Igbo school enrollment as far back as 2002. That is 14 years ago and Igbos were still leading and beating all regions and tribes in Nigeria in education in 2002 despite the doubting Thomas and blackmailers like you and the rest of the gangs.


    Igbos have been leading in education for over 30 years now in enrollment and graduation from primary school, secondary schools to university level. Again, I  posted two articles and links at the end of this post to educate you on the false population count of Nigeria, voters registration and school enrollment in Nigeria as it affects Igbos.


    School enrollment all over the world is used to measure the population of  a region, of a group of people or tribe, but Nigeria uses false index to count their fraudulent population and fraudulent voters registration. When it is time for election or population count Nigeria will use false and fraudulent population count and false voters registration numbers, but when school enrollment time comes it exposes the false population count and false voter registration , because the population of  Igbos are constantly falsely  manipulated and their population count less during the voters registration and population census, but during schools enrollment in Primary, secondary and University enrollment Igbos for over 30 years every year Igbos post high numbers in schools enrollment numbers and graduation by far with wide margin than all tribes and region and groups in Nigeria.


    Nigeria by  their corruption has manipulated and screwed up all metrics and index for  decent development and economic  planning, because of false  tribal sentiments that's messed up the population and school enrollment counts.


    For example, the Northeast of Nigeria is the hot bed of Boko Haram war,  but during election voting and population estimation the North East is given high numbers in a war zone despite that millions of people have ran away, refuges crisis and  millions of displaced person moved  over to other  zones and regions, but still it is falsely given high numbers on population and voters registration including under age voters, but when it is time for school enrollment which is what is  used in world standard to measure population, the North East, North West and Middle Belt numbers will score less than South East Igbos in schools enrollment to  less than 30% of what it claims the North East, North West, and Middle Belt population is. This is also the case for Northwest and all the Northern States and many States in the West.

    This  inherent diabolic corruption on population and voters registration have made it impossible for Nigeria to have a reliable development plan that tackles issues of healthcare, education, infrastructure  development and national development. With  situation like these no wonder Nigeria does not move forward but declining.

    to Nigerian, Omo
    Kola,
    The annoying thing is that Anambra and other states that do well in WASCE don't spend as much per student, and they don't make noise about their Education policy. One does not need to be a rocket scientist to know that mega-schools (merging schools) cannot be as conducive to teaching and learning as smaller schools and smaller classes. It is obvious that people's pockets and not improvement of education standard was the driving force behind the so called education reform.

    Dear All

    Congrats to the Govs of the SE and SS states and probably also to the Gov
    of Lagos state the latter until we can ascertain the states of origin and ethnicities
    of those students who almost pushed the pass rate for English
    and Maths to almost the half mark!

    For the rest of Nigeria, it is worth noting that we are breeding a nation of illiterates!

    The educational system like everything else in Nigeria is in shambles.

    We need to go back to the basics to discover what is wrong with the system.
    Teachers who are barely literate are unlikely to teach and nurture high school graduates
    who can read and write enough to function in the modern world.

    The CBN's call for total cashless transactions in Nigeria probably has not taken
    Into consideration the extremely low literacy rates even by third world standards, in
    some regions of Nigeria.

    Even Ekiti state, the Fountain of Knowledge could only boast a paltry
    33% while my Ogun state barely managed to reach 25% passes rates for
    English and Maths!

    Nigerian News from Leadership Newspapers



    Nigeria Sitting On A Time Bomb — Aug 29, 2014 | 3 Comments
    The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) released the results of the May/June West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) 2014, in which approximately 70% failure was recorded. 145,975 out of 1,750,976 candidates’ results are being withheld on the grounds of examination malpractice. These malpractices were reported during both the conduct and the marking of the exams.
    The percentages of failure recorded in the past four years range from 75.06% in 2010, 44.66% in 2011, 61.19% in 2012 and 35.74% in 2013, up to a whopping 70% in 2014.
    According to the result statistics for WASSCE 2014 summary, Anambra, Abia and Edo states have the highest percentages of 65.92%, 58.52% and 57.82% respectively.
    In Anambra State, students who scored five credits and above including Maths and English were 34,094, with 19,109 female students and 14,985 male students. In Abia State, a total of 32,947 students made five credits and above including Maths and English, with 15,347 male students and 17,600 female students. In Bayelsa State, 37,242 students scored five credits and above including Maths and English. 18,479 were male students, 18,763 were female students.
    WAEC-RESULT
    However, eight out of the 36 states in Nigeria recorded a score less than 10%. These states include Adamawa, Jigawa, Sokoto, Zamfara and Kebbi. Others are Gombe, Bauchi and Yobe.
    While Adamawa State recorded 8.75% for those who made five credits and above including Maths and English, Jigawa, Sokoto, Zamfara and Kebbi recorded 7.47%, 7.12%, 6.65% and 6.30% respectively. Gombe State recorded 5.68%, Bauchi 5.28% and Yobe, 4.85%.
    In Adamawa State, out of the 30,235 candidates who sat for the examinations, 1,510 males and 1,136 females made five credits and above, including Maths and English. Out of the 17,793 candidates who sat for the national examination and made five credits and above including Maths and English in Jigawa, 944 were males and 386 were females. In Sokoto, 25,391 candidates sat for the examinations. 1,193 males and 616 females scored five credits and above, including Maths and English.
    In Zamfara, Kebbi, Gombe, Bauchi and Yobe, students who scored five credits and above including Maths and English, male and female, were 1,954, 1,676, 1,107, 1,548 and 743 respectively.
    Meanwhile, the scores for Borno, Taraba, Niger, Nasarawa and Oyo states fell within the 15-24% range. Others within this bracket are Plateau, Osun, Cross River and Kogi states.
    Scores for Benue, Ogun, Kano, Kwara and the FCT fell within 26-45%. Within this bracket also are Akwa Ibom, Ondo, Ekiti and Ebonyi, Kaduna, Delta, Imo and Lagos states.
    Proffering reasons for this mass failure, the deputy vice chancellor of the Tai Solarin University of Education, Professor Joseph Olusanya said that there were many factors responsible for the decline. He said, “Students’ nonchalant attitude towards school is very appalling. We also have a vicious circle of teachers, which means that most teachers at the primary and secondary school levels are half-baked.”
    He went on to say, “The level of unseriousness (sic) of students is on the high increase, because the introduction of modern technology has taken their time. Due to low remuneration of teachers, they combine business with teaching, which also affects the output.”
    The president of the American University of Nigeria, Professor Margee Ensign, reacting to the mass failure said, “Nigeria as a fast growing country must invest in the training of teachers as already, there is a population explosion, which has led to 11 million out-of-school children. The training of teachers must be done consistently, as 200,000 are needed this year and by next year, an additional 500,000 will be needed to curb the menace of mass failure.”
    While many have said that this is not the time to find fault or apportion blame, causes of unacceptable performance in exams can be attributed to bad or inappropriate legislation and leadership, bad parenting, over-burdened curricula and the negative influence ‘texting’ and ‘chatting’ has on students’ command of the English language. Inadequate infrastructure such as classrooms, learning and teaching resources, insufficient teachers of Mathematics, English and other core subjects can also be blamed.
    Then there’s the issue of teachers’ apathy. A student, Carmella, speaking for herself and her schoolmates said, “I feel that my teachers are no longer motivated to teach us. They usually come to class angry and are always on their BlackBerrys. They always seem distracted and give half-answers to questions asked in class.”
    In an interview with LEADERSHIP Friday, Dr Irene Osemeka, a renowned educationist said, “Of course the poor quality of our students manifests in many ways. The commonest is the poor grammatical expression in the use of tenses. Most students begin their sentences with ‘As in’, without necessarily making a comparison between two subjects or issues.
    “There is also poor examination conduct. Cheating during examination has become the norm and regrettably, with connivance of parents and teachers. There is no doubt that the quality of education is failing drastically despite the effort of government and the major stakeholders in the sector.”
    Osemeka also noted that the failing standard of education hinders the nation’s graduates from securing good jobs. “Most graduates are unable to scale through the first leg of an interview, even though they have graduated with honours. As a result of this, it has become fashionable for parents to send their children to schools outside the country. The phenomenon also comes with the Age of Information; an age where there is unprecedented access to information via the various electronic devices,” she said.
    Osemeka explained that students can make use of ICT in a way that would increase their knowledge and also assist them in their education.
    On the puzzle over why then the revolution in the telecommunication sector, for example, has not had a commensurate and positive effect on the quality of the Nigerian student, she averred that the telecom devices were being used more as a source of entertainment than as a tool to complement class work.
    Dr Mohammed Khalid Othman, a lecturer in the Department of Agric Engineering, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, speaking on the issue however said, “I feel that the result should be investigated. It is off the shores of normal. I know several good schools whose students didn’t make the five credits and above including Maths and English.”
    In a more cheering development, though WAEC has not released all the results for public schools in Borno State because the state government allegedly has not paid its bills for the students of public schools, the results of some candidates from public schools are very encouraging.
    At the Future Prowess Islamic Foundation School, one of the private schools visited by LEADERSHIP Friday, the management celebrated the performance of the graduating students, which, according to them is impressive, considering the ongoing Boko Haram insurgency.
    According to the head teacher, Malam Suleiman, a female student of the school, Aisha Tijjani Mustapha, made three distinctions and four credits, while Aisha Usman Isa, another female student, made a distinction and six credits, including Mathematics and English. Yet another female student, Amina Lawan Musa, scored five credits.
    “We are really proud of our students, especially the female ones. Our most outstanding student is Aisha Tijjani, who scored C-6 in Commerce, C-6 in Financial Accounting, C-5 in Store Management, B3 in Economics, B-3 in Islamic Studies, C-5 in Civic Education, C-6 in Mathematics and B3 in English Language. Aisha Usman Isa got C6 in commerce, C6 in Store Management, C6 in Economics, C6 in Islamic Studies, C6 in Civic Education and B-3 in Mathematics. Amina Lawan Musa, Financial Accounting – C6, Store Management – B2, Economics – C6, Islamic Studies – C6, Maths – B3,” he said.

    In Ekiti State, even when those who 'won' the election knew what they did to 'win' it, part of the reasons the elements attributed to Gov. Fayemi's 'defeat' was his effort at repositioning the Education Sector.

    The analysis of the performance of states in the 2015 West African Senior School Certificate Examination has emerged with south east states again topping the chart with their candidates obtaining the most credits in at least five subjects, including English Language and Mathematics.

    Abia state topped the chart with 33, 762 of its 52, 801 candidates getting five credits and above including Mathematics and English thereby securing 63.94 per cent. Anambra followed with 61.18 per cent as 28, 379 out of 46, 385 candidates performed well.

    Interestingly, candidate obtained five credits and above, including English and Mathematics from four federal government colleges meaning none of the candidates from the school are likely to secure university admission. The schools are: Federal Government Girls’ College, Bajoga, Gombe State; FGGC, Bauchi; FGGC Gboko, and the Federal Science and Technical College, Kafanchan.

    Edo state came third with 38, 052 of its 62, 327 candidate getting five credits and above while Rivers, Imo, Lagos, Bayelsa, Delta, Enugu and Ebonyi rounding up the top ten in the performance ranking.

    Only 646 candidates from the 14, 784 that wrote the exam in Yobe got five credits and above the thereby coming last with 4.27 per cent. Northern states occupied the rear positions with nine northern states in the last ten positions. They are Adamawa, Osun, Sokoto, Bauchi, Kebbi, Katsina, Gombe, Jigawa, Zamfara and Yobe. Lagos with 68, 173 out of 141, 963 candidates that sat for the examination placed sixth on the rankings.

    The analysis showed that 1,590. 284 candidates sat for the examination in which only 562, 413 candidates obtained credits in five subjects and above including English Language and Mathematics while 1,029,871 representing 64.63 per cent failed to obtain admission requirement to the nation’s universities.
    See the ranking below:


    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    14 YEARS AGO IGBO SCHOOL ENROLLMENT AND LEADING ALLL REGION IN 2002 DESPITE THE BLACKMAILINGS  

    Nd'igbo and school enrollment 
     

    By

    Chinedu Anekwe 
    Enugu, Nigeria

     Sept 2002
     

    In the 10th of July, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) released the results of the 2002 Universities Matriculation Examination (U.M.E.). According to JAMB Registrar, Prof. Bello Salim, 1,007,326 had completed and returned their admission forms to the Board out of which 975,060 candidates sat for the examination. 
     


    Giving a breakdown of the entries, Prof. Salim said Imo State presented the highest number of 95,984 or 9.84 per cent of the total entry. Delta State is the runner-up with 80,448 or 8.25 per cent while Anambra State came third with 64,296 or 6.59 per cent. Edo, Ogun and Ondo had 61,897 (6.37 per cent), 54,272(5.6 per cent) and 46,592 (4.7 per cent) applicants respectively, to occupy the third to sixth positions. States with the lowest number of applicants for UME included Borno with 4,358 , Taraba with 2,934 , Katsina 2,530 , Kebbi 2,438 (0.24 per cent), Zamfara 2,169 (0.22 per cent) and Yobe having 1,178 (0.12 per cent). The entries of Imo and Anambra States alone
    amounted to a total of 160,280 or 16.43 per cent of the total entry, with the remaining 34 states and the F.C.T. making do with the remaining 83.27 per cent. 


    It should be noted, for the sake of emphasis, that Imo and Anambra States are in South-East Nigeria while Igbos make up about a quarter of the population of Delta State and Rivers State. Igbos in Delta State can be found in Agbor, Anioma, Asaba, Ibuzo, Ndokwa, Ogwashi Uku,Okpanam, Oshimili, etc. 
     

    For long, there has been this erroneous notion created in the Nigerian media that the quest for intellectual improvement by sons and daughters of Igboland has been poor in recent times. However, statistics from JAMB and the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) as regards the registration of candidates from different states of the federation points to the contrary. The trend as regards the registration of JAMB students in the last five years has shown that the Igbo rank tops. In 2001 U.M.E. entries, according to states of origin, Imo State equally took the first position. It is equally noteworthy that the first position for the 2002 U.M.E. JAMB examination went to John Uchenna Efidi of Ebonyi State who scored 326. Chike Collins-Gregory Ndive from Anambra State came second with a score of 325 while Henry Tolulope Jibodu and Ashimuyi Babatunde Durojaiye (both of Lagos State) jointly took the third position by scoring 319. 
     
     


    The truth of the matter is that there have been drop in male enrolment in schools in Anambra and Abia States due to the commercial nature of the states. Young boys in these states who see their mates doing business and who seem to be "making it" (in the short run though) tend to abandon school for business. That notwithstanding, these states still have many of their indigenes spread across different parts of the country, likewise other Igbo states. 
     


    Writing in an article on the Back page of Thisday Newspaper of 25th March 2002, Olusegun Adeniyi stated inter alia : "...a region (South East) where most young people are driven by the urge to make money with little or no value attached to mental self improvement". This can no longer be accepted by Ndi Igbo. It is an intimidation of the Igbo race. Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu complained of this intimidation of in an interview with Newswatch Magazine of April 8, 2002. On page 29 he said: "Ifound that there is an orchestrated attempt at intimidating the Igbo with their own shortcomings. And these are shortcomings that are rampant across the entire country". 
     

    A halt must be put to this mixture of tribal sentiments to obfuscate crystal clear facts. Just to digress a little, we all saw the kind of encomiums that was poured on the Nigerian coaching crew to the Japan/Korea World Cup even though it is visible that that coaching crew were inept. Just because the head of that crew comes from a particular section of the country. I thank Mr. Emeka Odikpo of Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) for putting facts in their proper perspective in the July 13 edition of "Sports Spectacular" on Radio Nigeria. Did Onigbinde perform at the World Cup? Odikpo's Verdict: CAPITAL NO. 
     

    In conclusion therefore, I think the onus now lies on the objective press and Igbo sons and daughters in the media to correct this erroneous claim, now given life and which seems to have worn the garb of validity. As the Igbo would say, "aru gbaa afo, o ghoo omenala" (when an abomination lasts for a year, it becomes anorm).

     IGBO POPULATION ISSUES AND NIGERIA FALSE POPULATION

    My people,
     
    During the last census, it was obvious that awusa's have a hidden agenda when they shut down the inclusion on state of origin as one of the question. It was also very painful that some of our purpoted wise ones did not see this as a way of decimating igbo numbers, hence the call for a total boycot of the census. However, when it came to counting awusa women in purdah, it was agreed that the enumerators dare not enter the hidden rooms to count how many wives an awusa man has, but would rather take the word of the husband as to how many wives they have.
     
    Also, when the religion of folks were removed, it helped bolster awusa argument that there are more moslems than Christians.
     
    Nija is a mess and unless we all seek the total restructuring of that hell hole, we will always complain after the fact.

    The comments below, on the lowest registered voter count for ndi Igbo renews the pain and agony of the latest census reports showing the South East as the list in population, far behind the South South. The refusal of OBJ and his administration to allow Nigerians to indicate their state of origin on the census forms while not allowing them the option to become indigenes of their resident states in Nigeria is a classic example of Igbo suppression and hostile gerrymandering. The perspectives of the sad reality of the South East minority status presented in the comments by Inno Uzuh and Agumba Law (see below) offer some hope that all is not lost. In deed the Igbo pattern of migration for economic enhancement of self and family has put other ethnicities in Nigeria at a political disadvantage, if only the Igbo can respond with unity, to the tacit rejection of their cultural acceptance of one Nigeria, by their competitors. A single  Igbo candidate for Nigeria's presidency will be the only candidate for that position easily meeting the requirement of 25 % in 2/3rds of the 36 states. This South East advantage can not be neutralized as long as Nigeria remains one nation, even with the most hostile policies put in place in every state to minimize  Igbo success and progress in competitive private and public opportunities.
     
    Ndi Igbo just need to work on strategies to maneuver the anti Igbo economic and political policies installed through undemocatic channels in Nigeria. The greatest Igbo challenge in overcoming this new and recent reality of the Igbo being a political minority in Nigeria is the difficulty in post civil war South East to forge a common and unified strategy in their pursuit of regional or zonal interests in Nigeria. The other ethnic groups in Nigeria have since learnt that you can not easily crush the Igbo and their zeal to succeed.  
     
    Joe Eto.
     
     
    Inno Uzuh ‎@Elomba perspective:
    I truly feel your pain concerning the low voter registration recorded in igbo land. The truth is that a majority of our igbo men and women are domiciled outside igbo land. It's simple socioeconomic reality. That was why most people insisted that state of origin should be included in the census data in order to truly get a picture of the ethnic population of the constitution of Nigeria. Of course this suggestion was short down by the powers that be for a purpose. Truth is..when the votes for the presidential elections are counted, believe me , the effect of our population will be felt.
     
    Agumba Law:
    Let other tribes not gloat at the registration figures. 40% of Lagos Residents are Ndigbo..ditto in Kano, Jos and other places...No matter where they are domiciled, on election day,Ndigbo could still vote their interests.

    THE IGBO HAVE OPPORTUNITY
    In his today's opinion piece, Mr. Daniel Elombah wrote:
    "…Ndigbo Nwere Problem!!!..." (Translation: the Igbo have problem)
    Mr. Elombah's dire prediction was based on the publication of the registered voters by zone by our Independent National Election Commission which was published as follows:
     
    1. North-West Nigeria 18 Million
    2. South West Nigeria 15 Million
    3. North East Nigeria 8 Million
    4. North Central 8 Million
    5. South South Nigeria 8 Million
    6. South East Nigeria 7 Million
    Total 64 million
    On the surface it would look as if Igbo have problem especially when taken from the point of view of Idowu Bobo 
     
    All road the presidency of Nigeria runs through Northwest and Southwest, 50% of the voters are from these two regions of the country.
      
    In other words 2 zones make up 50% of registered voters. If you convincingly win both you will just be scrambling to win 25% from a few more states and you are in.

    Several things stand out from this analysis: 
    1. NW (21%) of the population has 28% of registered voters 7 points higher than her share of population.
    2. NW registration (61%) is 20 points higher than the national average of 45.7%.
    3. SW with 19.7% of the population has 23.4 % of registered voters or 5 points higher than her share of the population.
    4. SW registered 54% of it citizens compared to the national average of 45.7% or 10 points above national average.
    5. SS and SE have the lowest registration percentage except for NE and considerably lower than their share of the population.
      
    Compared with other data from the Nigerian government the oddity of the registration exercises become more apparent. Take a look at college enrollment table. 
    1. The 2 zones with the highest percentage of college youths (SE 34% of all Nigerian college students and SS 25%) have the lowest number of registered voters. In other words college education is an impediment to participation in politics or access to political information. In no other place in the world has this phenomenon been observed.
    2. NW with a mere 5.3% of college enrollment has almost a 2:1advantage over SS in registration 61%:38%. Their youth have more access to political information than SS or are more politically aware.
    3. NC which has the highest level of college education in the North has the lowest level of registration for this election.
    This is just a one minute analysis of the published results. We shall look at the details as the registration exercise results are published. The State numbers would highlight where the most fraud was compiled as would city and constituency reports. 
    Areas of further research: 
    • Comparison with prior registrations
    • Comparison with the prior voting numbers
    • The state registration currently with the amended voter registration in the rerun elections in Anambra, Ekiti and other states.
    • Tax collection from the states such as number of payee
    Mr. Elombah and his Igbo compatriots would serve Nigeria better by purring into the statistics and proving them fraudulent. It will be much better than throwing up hands and saying that: "Ndiigbo nwere nsogbu." What Ndiigbo nwere is opportunity to unmask fraudulent practices in Nigerian polity. 
      
    One can lie with statistics but such lies are often revealed by statistics.

    "Most Osun State SSCE students possibly cannot construct simple sentences in English language and cannot solve simple mathematical problems. Buildings without well-thought-out educational reforms amount to empty noise by pen robbers and their supporters who are shallow not to see beyond the ruse.".......Kola Onifade.


    Afis comment: No true Yoruba believes Iyiole Omisore and his gang of would-be Treasury Robbers would have done anything better than Aregbesola's govt that is there now.

    Aregbesola is rebuilding and rehabilitating both the people and the State. It's not a day's work, it's not a hurry up job, and it's not an eight years work.

    People like Kola Onifade want us to forget that the rot in education just started yesterday because Aregbe became governor.
    Well, fools can accept his lies, but I won't because I know better.

    I know better that before 1999, education was already downhill in Nigeria.
    I know better that in 1999 on, schools close in Nigeria more than they stay open.
    I know that PDP had done zilch since 1999 to improve education in Nigeria, it is therefore unreasonable to think the same Akotileta Alainikanse Group in PDP would improve education now.

    Aregbesola will get things done better but don't expect "faster".
    It took Aregbe two years to convince the Muslim population in Ede, Osogbo, Ogbomosho, Ikirun and others that Western Education is NOT a bad thing, that education is NOT Boko Haram.....not evil.
    Those who understand Osun landscape know that Osun is a land populated by many Muslims who are very fanatical about their Islam.
    No government have more to be inclusive, to bring Muslims into education than Aregbe.

    For Yoruba of faint hearts, go and study your people and know what is going on.
    Yorubaland is not for Christians alone, you must understand the Yoruba Muslims, and pull them into full education in all their communities. You must be flexible by accepting some of their nuances, because when enlightened most nuances will fade all by themselves.
    Don't force Muslims to react.
    That's the tinderbox that Aregbe is tiptoeing along, with time he will fix it permanently.

    And another thing, stop listening to Dead-persons like Kola Onifade, a supporter of Iyiole Omisore. Stop listening to Igbos, only in Nigeria anyone would hailed a State where 30,000 failed WAEC.

    I forget to add: As Aregbe keeps encouraging Muslims to attend schools just as their Christian counterparts, let us not forget that the Christians sponsored by Omisore and Kola Onifade were using Religion to destroy his intentions.
    Kola Onifade, Onigbinde and Odumakin were sponsoring court cases to stop Aregbe's progress. They were campaigning against him on Religious basis, telling Christians Aregbe hates them, whereas the guy was just trying to create a leveled playing field for all to accommodate the wary Muslims.
    Mind you, PDP pulled the same stunt in Ogun against Amosun but Ogun Christians did not accept their lies.

    Aregbe as a Muslim realizes you cannot build a peaceful Osun without accommodating the Muslims who are already left behind due to lack of interest in Western Education.

    Anyways, you all by now got my drift!

    Ibiakwa. I did not publish any statistics on the exam. I am merely commenting on the published info. If a state did poorly in the exam while another did better, is the system to blame or the folks? Yes, there are folks who are more motivated to study harder and there are those who are not. The question that I raised and you neglected to address was why would some in the class taught by the same teacher pass while some don't? Do you blame the teacher or the students? If all failed, I would blame the teacher. I implied that any student anywhere has the capacity to pass if only they study harder. Or is there any reasons you know of why a student from Yobe who studied as hard as a student from Abia should not succeed? 

    Let me tell you something. You all gloat when you talk about the Biafra war. You all gloat when you talk about Kanu and his detention. You gloat when you talk about the agitation for Biafra. You all gloat about Metuh in chains while Dasuki was not. But now that WAEC results show that Igbo state excel and beat the butts of all other states, I am supposed to bottle my emotions for fear that Ola will accuse me of gloating? Here. Mohamed Ali said it. It ain't bragging if it is true. I don't brag. I just tell the truth. Did Igbo states do better than Yoruba states in WAEC? Did Igbo states do better than northern states in WAEC? Did any state do better than Igbo state in WAEC? Do other states have reasons not to be as motivated as the Igbo? Will an Igbo with excellent academic credentials excel over anyone without academic credentials in Nigeria but from the privileged tribes? Hell no. 

    Ola. Igbo are in hell in Nigeria and you know it. It makes a lot of you happy. You are not even happy that your down trodden Igbo did well in WAEC. So you get on here to lecture. If Abia had come last in the ratings, the forums will be awash with Igbo centric negative commentaries for ever. To the delight of all the Igbo haters. 

    Here. The bible is one of my favorite books of reference. Awash with sagacious adages. Even the translation into Igbo amazes me. The cadence was translated too. I forgot which psalm, but I remember what was written in one of the psalms. Jekuru danda, gi onye ume ngwu. Go to the ant, thou sluggard, and learn his ways to be wise. It is right there in the bible. Ezeana did not author it. I merely quoted the bible and you say I am gloating? Let me give it to you again. Go and learn from Abia and find out why their children are excelling and others are failing. Go to the Igbo and find out why they are excelling and others are not. Not just today. I told you about ASPAU. Yinka married an Igbo. Dr. Ojo married an Igbo. Or did they not? Lol. 

    Ola. Why do you want to rain on my parade? You ignore infrastructure in the SE. You wish the Niger bridge would collapse with many Igbo dying in the mishap. If not, why has the Niger bridge been neglected by successive presidents? You don't want Biafra. You don't want equal treatment for Igbo. But there is something that you cannot do. That is beat Igbo on any level playing field. They whip asses when the playing field is level. That is not gloating or bragging. Because it is a fact all over the world. You massacred millions of Igbo and you gloat about it. You brag about how Gen Adekunle massacred Igbo. But I cannot show my excitement that Igbo continue to whip asses on every level playing field? Oh no. I will celebrate Igbo excellence every time I smell one. Igbo have had so many things to moan about in Nigeria. And you you don't want Igbo to celebrate their excellence? I am not perfect. If celebrating excellence is a sin, listen, you Igbo out there, send Ezeana to hell by excelling in everything in Nigeria so I can commit more sins by celebrating. Ola. Are you still there? Ezeana is going to hell for celebrating Igbo excellence. 


    And I am

    Quote from below:

    And another reason not to celebrate or gloat over the WAEC results in Nigeria is the following that was shared with me a few months ago:

    "The brightest students in high school in Nigeria will end up attending universities and become professors, physicians, engineers, lawyers, nurses, bankers,  etc.

    The second tier of bright students will become entrepreneurs and administrators in the public and private sectors of the economy and occupy positions in which they would be the bosses responsible for the hiring and firing of the brightest of their classmates who have become professionals and professors. 

    Some of the third  tier of Nigerian students on the academic scale would be those who either failed WAEC completely or failed to make the WAEC benchmark, but nevertheless manage to become rich politicians who will rule over the first and second tier of students who were much brighter than they were in primary and high schools and other former classmates who have entered less financially rewarding but nevertheless important vocations such as artisanship, mechanics, bricklayers etc.."

    And who says democracy is a perfect form of government when it allows the near morons in the society to rule over those who are much brighter than they are!"--Ola

    Bro Veee,
    The overall WAEC result is horrible and deserve no celebrations by anyone whether his or her state is rated first or second.
    I have no pride in such statistics on the result because 50%  or more  national failure rate in 
    that exam  is abysmal.

    Pa Ezeana:

    I am happy that the Igbo are excelling
    in all fields of human endeavour both at home
    in Nigeria and across the globe. I am even doubly happy
    because the Igbo are Nigerians. This is the reason I would like
    the Igbo to remain in the Nigerian family where
    they truly belong.

    You mentioned that Yinka Odumakin and our late brother
    Dr Val Ojo married Igbo women just like thousands
    of other non- Igbo Nigerians do every year.
    Considering that marriage is a two way street and that water
    tends to find its own level, there must be a reason
    why more and more beautiful and bright
    Igbo damsels are choosing to marry outside their
    ethnic group. There must be something that attracts
    these young women to their handsome and equally brilliant
    grooms. More and more Igbo young men are also
    marrying Yoruba women. The same theory as above
    probably also applies!
     
    It is more important to spend our timlooking for ways to
    improve the standards of education across Nigeria than
    to gloat about one ethnic group or the other doing better
    than the rest.

    If the students in Borno, Yobe and other
    states with poor performances in WAEC
    are offered the standards of educational facilities,
    well trained teachers with supervisors who can design and
    supervise curricula and if these students do not
    have to dodge bullets and bombs from the Boko
    Haram every day as they walk 2, 3 or 4 mms each way to and from
    School and may be if they are just as well fed
    and they had proper seats and desk at school
    and at home so they could complete their homework
    -they would have just an about equal chance
    of doing just as well as the kids from Ananbra and
    Abia states.

    Let us congratulate the states who scored
    the highest without resorting to gloating!

    Bye,

I am not from Abia. Neither am I from Anambra. I am a Nigerian. The WAEC result is a national shame. With respect to what you wrote below,  it is a universal phenomenon. I remember George Bush Jr once saying that even "C" students end up becoming POTUS.

    For a mathematician like you to stoop that low in interpreting the published statistics is disappointing. Of 10 people in a class, nine passed in grade 1. In another school with 50 students in a class, 10 passed in grade 1. Mind you, 10 passed in grade 1 in the second school, 1 more than the other school. Where would you prefer to send your grand children to school? The one with 90% rate or the one with 20%? 

    Look here VC Aluko. You cannot boil the thermometer to raise the room temperature. A student in school in Abia is more likely to pass WAEC than any student anywhere else is the only honest interpretation of the statistics. Shame on you for thinking otherwise. Get it. Igbo whipped asses in the WAEC.

    Wait a minute, 38,052 passed in Edo, 5,000 more than Abia, but it came third having 10,000 passed more than a state which has 28,379 (Anambra), if you bean counted the numbers!

    More students passed in Lagos more than the whole 53,000 that took the exam in Abia!

    How high are the differences in the actual students that passed without throwing some "fools paradise" percentages?

    Out of over 1,000,000 students in Nigeria, about 500,000 passed in Nigeria as a whole. And Joe Attueyi the fake pastor and fake Nationalist, with another fake Nationalist called Vin Otuonye, are happy about Abia and Anambra.

    May your tribe of thinkers increase tremendously!  Of those who failed, some tried to cheat, and they would even have failed more.  Of those who passed, quite a number of them would NOT have done so if they had not used "miracle centers."

    So, we should be concerned at:

      (1)  the number who failed;  both nationwide (1,029,871 failed out of 1,590,284 total candidates)  and on a state-wise basis (eg, in my Ekiti State, 12,379 failed out of 21,333 total candidates), they are SIMPLY too many, and is a national crisis.  We should always remember that some of the candidates who passed or failed in other states MAY be indigenes of Ekiti or other states.

      (2)  of those who passed, where do they go next?  Every year, our universities and tertiary institutes can only absorb 400,000 out of 1.5 million that take JAMB every year - and many of those absorbed are not into courses of their choice, but just want to get into university by any means necessary.

    So chest-beating over these numbers is egregiously jejune.....

    And there you have it.

    South-eastern states lead as WASSCE releases 2015 May/June results

    By John Owen Nwachukwu on February 5, 2016




    States in the South-eastern part of Nigeria have retained their lead as details of the May/June 2015 West African Senior School Certificate Examination results were made public on Thursday.

    The region is leading in the performance chart of candidates who obtained credits in at least five subjects, including English Language and Mathematics. Abia State topped the chart with 33,762 of its 52,801 candidates.

    In four Federal Government colleges, no candidate obtained five credits and above, including English and Mathematics.

    The schools are the Federal Government Girls’ College, Bajoga, Gombe State; FGGC, Bauchi; FGGC Gboko, and the Federal Science and Technical College, Kafanchan.

    To ensure university admission in the country, a student must obtain credits in five subjects and above, including English Language and Mathematics.

    In the chart, Anambra State came second with 28, 379 out of 46, 385 candidates. While Abia State scored 63.94 per cent, Anambra got 61.18 per cent out of 100 per cent.

    Edo State emerged third with 38, 052 of its 62, 327 candidates getting five credits and above. It had 61.05 per cent. Rivers and Imo states came fourth and fifth respectively.

    Meanwhile, with 4.37 per cent, Yobe State came last on the 2015 rankings list with only 646 candidates obtaining five credits and above including English and Mathematics. Fourteen thousand, seven hundred and eighty-four pupils, comprising 10, 807 males and 3,977 females, sat for the examination in the state.

    Apart from Yobe State, seven other northern states took the bottom positions in the rankings involving the 36 states and Abuja. They are Zamfara (36th), Jigawa (35th), Gombe (34th), Katsina (33rd), Kebbi (32nd) Bauchi (31st) and Sokoto (30th).

    Lagos with 68, 173 out of 141, 963 candidates that sat for the examination is placed sixth on the rankings. In fact, 32, 595 males and 35, 578 females obtained the required benchmark for university admission.

    The statistics as obtained by Punch on Thursday showed that Osun and Oyo states placed 29th and 26th respectively. While 8,801 candidates out of 48,818 obtained the basic entry requirement for university admission in Osun, Oyo State recorded only 21.03 per cent success in the examination.

    Of the 78,896 candidates Oyo State presented, only 16,588 of them obtained five credits and above including English and Mathematics.

    According to a WAEC source, the breakdown is the consolidated results approved by the council following its National Examinations Committee meeting held in November.

    One million five hundred and ninety thousand, two hundred and eighty-four candidates sat for the examination in which only 562, 413 candidates obtained credits in five subjects and above including English Language and Mathematics.

    Put differently, 1,029,871 representing 64.63 per cent failed to obtain admission requirement to the nation’s universities.

    Mr. Charlse Eguridu, the former Head of National of the council, announced the release of the results last August.

    A further breakdown of the 2015 results, revealed that the seventh, eighth, ninth and 10th positions went to Bayelsa, Delta, Enugu and Ebonyi states in that order.

    Ekiti State is placed 11th with 8,954 out of its 21, 333 candidates that sat for the examination getting the required admission benchmark.

    Kaduna, Ondo, Abuja, Kogi, Benue, Akwa Ibom, and Kwara states came 12th, 13th, 14, 15th and 16th in that order.

    Ogun State with 75,994 candidates occupied the 19th position. The state bagged 32.89 per cent with its 25, 006 candidates, comprising 12,059 males and 12, 947 females, obtaining five credits and above including English and Mathematics.

    In the 20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th and 25 slots are Cross River, Taraba, Plateau, Nassarawa, Kano and Borno states in that order. While 15,903 candidates out of 62,511 obtained the benchmark in Kano, 5,347 out of 21,695 got the same results in Borno.

    Adamawa and Niger states seat on the rankings list ahead of Osun State. They are on the 27th and 28th. While Osun State recorded 18.03 per cent success, Niger and Adamawa states got 19.66 and 18.08 per cent respectively.

    Meanwhile, the federal Government Girl’s College, Benin outshined the others with 230 of its 232 candidates meeting the University requirements in the performance register for the 104 Federal Government colleges in the same examination.

    The Federal Government Girls’ College, Kazaure, occupied the second slot with only two of its pupils also missing the benchmark. But while FGGC Benin, obtained 99.14 per cent, its Kazaure counterpart, got 98.10 per cent.

    The breakdown showed that the Federal Government College, Rubochi, came third with its 146 candidates, comprising 94 males and 52 females, out of 156 that sat for the examination putting up good showings.

    The Federal Government Academy, Suleja; FGC, Okigwe, and the FGC, Nise, came fourth, fifth and sixth.

    From the Unity schools in Lagos, the FGC, Ijanikin, which occupied the seventh position in the rankings, emerged the best in the state with 357 out of its 387 candidates that sat for the examination obtaining the basic university entry requirement.

    It came ahead of the over 100-year-old Kings College (18th), Federal Science and Technical College, Yaba (21st) and the Queens College (54th). While 361 out of 452 candidates obtained their papers at KC, 181 out of 413 females succeeded at QC.

    Occupying the eighth, ninth, 10th, 11th and 12th positions are the FGC, Okposi; FGC, Ikole-Ekiti; FGGC Efon-Alaye; FGGC, Minjibir, and the FGC, Jos, in that order.

    From the statistics, it was observed that of the 74 candidates that sat for the examination at the FGGC, Bajoga, no one got the basic admission requirement.

    It was the scenario at the FGGC, Bauchi and Gboko. Whereas 143 candidates sat for the examination in the Bauchi school, 144 females did the same at the FGGC, Gboko.

    For the FSTC, Kafanchan, of the 40 candidates, comprising 29 males and 11 females that sat for the examination, no one also obtained the minimum entry requirements to the university.

    Of the 26 Unity schools occupying the bottom positions on the performance chart, 22 of them are located in the North. The other four colleges are the FGGC, Ikot Obio Itong, Ukam at 89th position; FGGC, Calabar (92nd); FSTC, Uyo (93rd) and the FGC, Idoani, Ondo State occupying the 96th position.

    In the May/June 2014 WASSCE, 529,425 candidates, representing 31.28 per cent of the candidates, obtained the minimum university entry requirement. One million, six hundred and ninety-two thousand, four hundred and thirty-five candidates sat for the examination that year.

    In May/June 2013, 639,334 candidates, representing 38.30 per cent, qualified to seek admission to university in the country. One million five hundred and forty-three thousand, six hundred and eight-three candidates sat for the examination.

    "People like Kola Onifade want us to forget that the rot in education just started yesterday because Aregbe became governor. Well, fools can accept his lies, but I won't because I know better." - Afis Odidere

    Afis,

    The rot in education started far before 1999. But your "performing governor" is not doing anything to get Osun State out of the quagmire. If anything, he is only interested in projects that will add to his bottom line; not projects that build minds.

    You and your orchestra of name callers can find all excuses in the world to explain what is happening in Osun State today. Your lying conductor is always talking about a "national problem." You can also lie about attempts to disorient the governor by fanning the embers of religious crises. 

    The unassailable truth remains that none of the states in the SW has a sustainable, credible, futuristic plan for the education of our children. Osun State is worse because its limited resources is badly managed; while debts are further incurred to satiate the greed for wealth accumulation.

    Of course, never in history has the state witnessed what it is presently undergoing. Demoralized unpaid teachers and civil servants are unable to put food on their children table. Hungry and poorly fed kids attend schools where no knowledge is imparted. The children turn to terror with rampant cases of riots, brigandage, destruction and death.

    A once peaceful state is now a bedlam of violence.

    But Afis and his band leader "Leye Ige" keep shouting down critics. "All is well in Osun State and the SW," they enthuse. 

    However, we know better. 

    I am never bothered by claims that the SE is doing well at the WASCE. Whether they cheat to get the results claimed is their own cup of tea. All I ask for is honesty in governance in my own neck of woods.

    "Most Osun State SSCE students possibly cannot construct simple sentences in English language and cannot solve simple mathematical problems. Buildings without well-thought-out educational reforms amount to empty noise by pen robbers and their supporters who are shallow not to see beyond the ruse.".......Kola Onifade.


    Afis comment: No true Yoruba believes Iyiole Omisore and his gang of would-be Treasury Robbers would have done anything better than Aregbesola's govt that is there now.

    Aregbesola is rebuilding and rehabilitating both the people and the State. It's not a day's work, it's not a hurry up job, and it's not an eight years work.

    People like Kola Onifade want us to forget that the rot in education just started yesterday because Aregbe became governor.
    Well, fools can accept his lies, but I won't because I know better.

    I know better that before 1999, education was already downhill in Nigeria.
    I know better that in 1999 on, schools close in Nigeria more than they stay open.
    I know that PDP had done zilch since 1999 to improve education in Nigeria, it is therefore unreasonable to think the same Akotileta Alainikanse Group in PDP would improve education now.

    Aregbesola will get things done better but don't expect "faster".
    It took Aregbe two years to convince the Muslim population in Ede, Osogbo, Ogbomosho, Ikirun and others that Western Education is NOT a bad thing, that education is NOT Boko Haram.....not evil.
    Those who understand Osun landscape know that Osun is a land populated by many Muslims who are very fanatical about their Islam.
    No government have more to be inclusive, to bring Muslims into education than Aregbe.

    For Yoruba of faint hearts, go and study your people and know what is going on.
    Yorubaland is not for Christians alone, you must understand the Yoruba Muslims, and pull them into full education in all their communities. You must be flexible by accepting some of their nuances, because when enlightened most nuances will fade all by themselves.
    Don't force Muslims to react.
    That's the tinderbox that Aregbe is tiptoeing along, with time he will fix it permanently.

    And another thing, stop listening to Dead-persons like Kola Onifade, a supporter of Iyiole Omisore. Stop listening to Igbos, only in Nigeria anyone would hailed a State where 30,000 failed WAEC.

    Did the Boko Haram ravaged Borno state also 'cheat' in order to do better than Osun state?

    Our elites have lost every sense of shame. How can a state with the heritage of Awo's free education and all the propaganda of opon Imo and mega schools be so poor educationally? And instead of the vuvuzulas to try and redeem themselves by offering reasonable ideas to their principal on how to revamp the state's educational infrastructure they are business looking for excuses

    The rot in education is nationwide. Does it affect Osun anymore than it affects Borno state? Not to talk of its neighbours like Ogun, Lagos and even Kwara? Why not at least be the 'one eyed' man in the land of poorly educated?

    It is a matter of priorities. Aregbesola is more interested in buying helicopters, building airports and settling the jagabandit

    While I thank those that did well in the just released WASC examinations, I must point out that all 5 Igbo States made the top 10 and 8 out of the  top 10 are from Eastern Nigeria. Ekiti came first for core Yoruba states at the 11th position. Kudos to the performing Governor Fayose.  But where does all this lead to in Nigeria. Right now we have a President without WASC from Kastina which is number 33 on the list. Supreme court Justice from Gombe at 34. Vice President from Osun 29th position and so on. How does the scores reflect on the National equation.   
     
     
    Kudos to Ndi Abia. Abia has toppled Anambra. Imo improved from 9th position last year to 5th position this year. This is a welcome improvement.

    Beautiful Naija scenario:
    Work for govt, stole lots of dough the Naija way, donate to church to buy "Duru" with one's name carved into it, then decides conscience still pricks man, turns to do what no one has ever done in town before before.......Gbam!
    So therefore, is OK for real for real.......Alumna finds other Alumni to build sukulu with stolen money from Citizen Muda, to raise her own name higher so that the same oppressed Citizen Muda would stay oppressed by alumna for eternity!

    PS:  I remind everyone about my Education Template.  We have ALWAYS to address each of these eleven items below HOLISTICALLY at each level of education:

                  - students 
                  - academic staff
                  - non-academic staff
                  - curriculum
                  - teaching and learning facilities
                  - living and recreational facilities
                  - finances
                  - governance structures
                  - community relations
                  - standards, quality control, examinations and accreditation
                  - post-graduation opportunities

    Dr Kassim,
    In fairness to the students of Osun state, less than 30% of them got 'opon Imo'. It was an opportunity to award a contract to the governor's son. And pay 'mobilization ' to the pay-per-post vuvuzulas who went about praising it as the next best thing after sliced bread. There is nothing you wrote below that was not apparent before the fact to any student of public policy

    In addition to yours below, one thing that has worked is the return of confiscated schools to their previous owners/ old students association. Just imagine that St Charles is returned to its previous proprietors. It's old students like Ayo will rally round to return old school to its old glory. This will not only relieve the state of some of its burden but will indirectly tax some of the citizens to give back to society through rebuilding their alma mater 

    Since Gregs was handed back to the Catholic mission, the old boys have spent in excess of N100 Million revamping its infrastructure and standards. States should borrow successful ideas from each other 

    You wrote:
    The most marginalized zones in Nigeria are the NW, NC and the NE. These zones need a "Marshall Plan"
    in the form of additional socio-economic stimuli or else they would continue to deter the socio-economic progress in the rest
    of Nigeria.

    My own suggestion is a 'marshal plan' for education nationally. Free , compulsory , quality education for every Nigerian child up to at least JS3. Compulsory in the sense that if your child is found begging or selling akara or not in school it will be a crime committed by the parent or guardian 

    If we have to tax fuel N10 per liter and tax every house higher than a bungalow and tax every car bigger than 1.2 liter engine and put 100% levy on private jets etc to fund it so be it. In one generation we will drastically reduce illiteracy. And who knows, may produce our own Bill Gates etc

    Kola,
     
    As my people would say Ndewo, thanks in Bekee or oyibo.
    Sometimes last year I posted that young people of secondary school age are hawking minor items on the streets of Lagos on school days (morning) and Afis was the first to start defending Lagos state government, telling me that it is all over Nigeria.
     
    Sometimes I wonder where we are going with all these. Today it is our job to make sure that the government in power does not take us for granted but Afis and his likes think otherwise. I say Oti ooo.
     
    It does not matter when Osun educational system went barrack, the issue is what are we doing to fix it. Buying a helicopter and reforming education in Osun state which one is more important?
     
    Thank you, I was thinking that all Yoruba people are gone-ho with this APC thing. There is salvation if people like you are there.

    Imperial:

    I hate intellectual dishonesty. When you are honest, if the points I make are indisputable, why not just stay off the subject? In the example I gave, the 9 with grade 1 from one school and the 10 from the other school should first get the jobs, if only there is a level playing field in Nigeria. An Hausa with no certificate but can pronounce his name will get a job before an Igbo with impeccable academic credentials. And you know that.In numerical terms, of course Lagos theoretically will have more employed from their pool. But what if the 28,000 from Abia beat the first 28,000 of Lagos students? Should the 28,000 from Abia get hired first before a single person from the Lagos multitude is hired? 
    Look. CIC Enugu had a reputation of every candidate passing Cantab. Your chances of passing Cantab were much improved if you went to CIC. I did not know the percentage of those in grade 1.  Schools that had anything less than 100% pass rate were not same as CIC. 

    Lagos effort was not as rewarded as Abia or Anambra. The pass rate proves it. If you gave Lagos and Abia 10 students each, more of the Abia students will pass than Lagos students. If need be, I will calculate for you the number of Abia students who will make the grade as opposed to the much lower number of Lagos students that will. Everything being equal. 

    But let me reiterate. Igbo states' students did very well compared to others, despite the obstacles you guys put them through. Since you guys don't want to congratulate the Igbo and let it go, let me remind you of something else buried in statistics that I did not want to bring up so as not to hurt your feelings. But since you want to rain on Igbo parade, I am going to hurt your feelings. You know damn well that Igbo are everywhere. Where do you think they take their WAEC? Where they go to school of course. There are plenty Abia and Anambra and Edo students resident in Lagos. Are you sure all those successful candidates in Lagos are not also from Abia and Anambra and Imo and Ebonyi and Delta and Edo and Ekiti? Igbo are in Yobe too. The successful candidates in Yobe could be all Igbo. Btw, I took my ASPAU exam at Kaduna. I don't know if any one from the Kaduna exam other than myself cut it. But I represented the north. Lol.

    annoying thing is that Anambra and other states that do well
    in WASCE don't spend as much per student, and they
    don't make noise about their Education policy. One does
    not need to be a rocket scientist to know that mega-schools
    (merging schools) cannot be as conducive to teaching and
    learning as smaller schools and smaller classes. It is
    obvious that people's pockets and not improvement of
    education standard was the driving force behind the so
    called education reform.

    All
    Congrats to the
    Govs of the SE and SS states and probably also to the
    Govof Lagos state the latter until we can
    ascertain the states of origin and ethnicitiesof
    those students who almost pushed the pass rate for
    Englishand Maths to almost the half
    mark!
    For the rest of
    Nigeria, it is worth noting that we are breeding a nation of
    illiterates!
    The
    educational system like everything else in Nigeria is in
    shambles.
    We need to
    go back to the basics to discover what is wrong with the
    system.Teachers who are barely literate are
    unlikely to teach and nurture high school
    graduateswho can read and write enough to
    function in the modern world.
    The CBN's call for total
    cashless transactions in Nigeria probably has not
    takenInto consideration the extremely low
    literacy rates even by third world standards,
    insome regions of Nigeria.
    Even Ekiti state, the Fountain of
    Knowledge could only boast a paltry33% while my
    Ogun state barely managed to reach 25% passes rates
    forEnglish and Maths!

    Comments                     The West
    African Examinations Council (WAEC) released the  results of
    the May/June West African Senior School Certificate
    Examination (WASSCE) 2014, in which approximately 70%
    failure was  recorded. 145,975 out of 1,750,976
    candidates’ results are being  withheld on the grounds of
    examination malpractice. These malpractices  were reported
    during both the conduct and the marking of the
    exams.The percentages of failure recorded in the
    past four years range from 75.06% in 2010, 44.66% in 2011,
    61.19% in 2012 and 35.74% in 2013, up  to a whopping 70% in
    2014.According to the result statistics for
    WASSCE 2014 summary, Anambra,  Abia and Edo states have the
    highest percentages of 65.92%, 58.52% and  57.82%
    respectively.In Anambra State, students who
    scored five credits and above  including Maths and English
    were 34,094, with 19,109 female students and 14,985 male
    students. In Abia State, a total of 32,947 students made
    five credits and above including Maths and English, with
    15,347 male  students and 17,600 female students. In Bayelsa
    State, 37,242 students  scored five credits and above
    including Maths and English. 18,479 were  male students,
    18,763 were female students.However,
    eight out of the 36 states in Nigeria recorded a score less
    than 10%. These states include Adamawa, Jigawa, Sokoto,
    Zamfara and  Kebbi. Others are Gombe, Bauchi and
    Yobe.While Adamawa State recorded 8.75% for those
    who made five credits  and above including Maths and
    English, Jigawa, Sokoto, Zamfara and Kebbi recorded 7.47%,
    7.12%, 6.65% and 6.30% respectively. Gombe State  recorded
    5.68%, Bauchi 5.28% and Yobe, 4.85%.In Adamawa
    State, out of the 30,235 candidates who sat for the
    examinations, 1,510 males and 1,136 females made five
    credits and above, including Maths and English. Out of the
    17,793 candidates who sat for  the national examination and
    made five credits and above including Maths and English in
    Jigawa, 944 were males and 386 were females. In Sokoto,
    25,391 candidates sat for the examinations. 1,193 males and
    616 females  scored five credits and above, including Maths
    and English.In Zamfara, Kebbi, Gombe, Bauchi and
    Yobe, students who scored five  credits and above including
    Maths and English, male and female, were  1,954, 1,676,
    1,107, 1,548 and 743 respectively.Meanwhile, the
    scores for Borno, Taraba, Niger, Nasarawa and Oyo  states
    fell within the 15-24% range. Others within this bracket are
      Plateau, Osun, Cross River and Kogi
    states.Scores for Benue, Ogun, Kano, Kwara and
    the FCT fell within 26-45%.  Within this bracket also are
    Akwa Ibom, Ondo, Ekiti and Ebonyi, Kaduna,  Delta, Imo and
    Lagos states.Proffering reasons for this mass
    education.On the puzzle over why then the
    revolution in the telecommunication  sector, for example,
    has not had a commensurate and positive effect on  the
    quality of the Nigerian student, she averred that the
    telecom  devices were being used more as a source of
    entertainment than as a tool to complement class
    work.Dr Mohammed Khalid Othman, a lecturer in the
    Department of Agric  Engineering, Ahmadu Bello University,
    Zaria, speaking on the issue  however said, “I feel that
    the result should be investigated. It is off  the shores of
    normal. I know several good schools whose students didn’t
    make the five credits and above including Maths and
    English.”In a more cheering development, though
    WAEC has not released all the  results for public schools in
    Borno State because the state government  allegedly has not
    paid its bills for the students of public schools, the
    results of some candidates from public schools are very
    encouraging.At the Future Prowess Islamic
    Foundation School, one of the private  schools visited by
    LEADERSHIP Friday, the management
    celebrated the  performance of the graduating students,
    which, according to them is  impressive, considering the
    ongoing Boko Haram insurgency.According to the
    head teacher, Malam Suleiman, a female student of  the
    school, Aisha Tijjani Mustapha, made three distinctions and
    four  credits, while Aisha Usman Isa, another female
    student, made a  distinction and six credits, including
    Mathematics and English. Yet  another female student, Amina
    Lawan Musa, scored five credits.“We are really
    proud of our students, especially the female ones. Our most
    outstanding student is Aisha Tijjani, who scored C-6 in
    Commerce,  C-6 in Financial Accounting, C-5 in Store
    Management, B3 in Economics,  B-3 in Islamic Studies, C-5 in
    Civic Education, C-6 in Mathematics and  B3 in English
    Language. Aisha Usman Isa got C6 in commerce, C6 in Store
    Management, C6 in Economics, C6 in Islamic Studies, C6 in
    Civic  Education and B-3 in Mathematics. Amina Lawan Musa,
    Financial Accounting  – C6, Store Management – B2,
    Economics – C6, Islamic Studies – C6,  Maths – B3,”
    he said.

    Dear All
    Congrats to the Govs of the SE and
    SS states and probably also to the Govof Lagos
    state the latter until we can ascertain the states of origin
    and ethnicitiesof those students who almost
    pushed the pass rate for Englishand Maths to
    almost the half mark!
    For the rest of Nigeria, it is worth
    noting that we are breeding a nation of
    illiterates!
    The
    educational system like everything else in Nigeria is in
    shambles.
    We need to
    go back to the basics to discover what is wrong with the
    system.Teachers who are barely literate are
    unlikely to teach and nurture high school
    graduateswho can read and write enough to
    function in the modern world.
    The CBN's call for total
    cashless transactions in Nigeria probably has not
    takenInto consideration the extremely low
    literacy rates even by third world standards,
    insome regions of Nigeria.
    Even Ekiti state, the Fountain of
    Knowledge could only boast a paltry33% while my
    Ogun state barely managed to reach 25% passes rates
    forEnglish and Maths!
    education progress in Nigeria.I did not read it
    at first, however, after reading no-brainers from the usual
    suspects like Vin Otuonye and Joe Attueyi, people who do not
    allow their minds to mull issues before jumping happy, I
    decided to actually open the numbers and read it.......my
    own way.....well I am right again, there ain't nothing
    there but losers Cheering on National Mediocrity and Shame
    of a Nation.
    Let's break it
    down:
    1. Abia: Out of
    52,801, only 33, 762 passed with
    5credits.2. Anambra: Out of 46,385,
    only 28, 379 performed
    well.These are the firsts of the
    best. Right?
    Here is 19th on the
    Satanic numbers:Ogun State with
    75,994 candidates 25,006 candidates, comprising 12,059 males
    and 12, 947 females, obtaining five credits and above
    including English and Mathematics......this looks awful
    right?
    Let's get it straight
    again: 25,006 students passed with 5credits in
    Ogun, and it came 19th.28, 379 passed in Anambra,
    and it came 2nd.33,762 passed in
    Abia, and it came first?WHILE EDO CAME 3rd WITH
    38,052 PASSED?
    Wait a minute, 38,052 passed in Edo,
    5,000 more than Abia, but it came third having 10,000 passed
    more than a state which has 28,379 (Anambra), if you bean
    counted the numbers! And this is the
    kicker:  68,173 STUDENTS PASSED IN LAGOS, AND IT CAME
    6th.More students passed in Lagos more than the
    whole 53,000 that took the exam in Abia!
    I wonder what is the noise
    here?How high are the differences in the actual
    students that passed without throwing some "fools
    paradise" percentages?
    Out of over 1,000,000 students in
    Nigeria, about 500,000 passed in Nigeria as a whole. And Joe
    Attueyi the fake pastor and fake Nationalist, with another
    fake Nationalist called Vin Otuonye, are happy about Abia
    and Anambra.Who are they kidding?Are
    they real Nationalists or Igbo Tribalists with Hate-filled
    minds?
    Our
    Nationalists are concerned about Yoruba states alone, trying
    to point out free education started not more than five years
    ago, and Opon Imo just on its maiden voyage, are the Cause
    of a National endemic.
    THE HALF EMPTY
    PHENOM:They are happy about Abia coming
    first, I ask them to focus on Abia's
    failure.Is it a good thing when in Abia about
    20,000 failed?And the morons in Igboland are
    patting each other on the back just on coming 1st among
    National Mediocrity.Is it a good thing when about
    50,000 failed in Ogun?Even when 68,000 passed in
    Lagos, is it a thing of pride when about 70,000
    failed?And let's not forget that while about
    educationin an
    environment in which electricity supply isin
    adequate and irregular. Chalk and
    blackboard,paper
    textbooks and exercise books still have their places in
    modern education,
    The
    best value adding investments in education are the
    following:
    a)
    ensure the children are well nourished no matter the
    socio-economic statusof their parents before going to school and
    during school hours.
    b)
    provide conducive environment for education with well
    maintained and weather protectedclass
    rooms as it is difficult to achieve excellence in education
    when the children/students have to takemost
    of their classes outdoors protected only by shade of the
    trees or in ramshackleclassrooms with thatched roofs.
    c)
    train and employ ONLY well qualified and well trained
    teachers in adequate numbers and ensure that their
    remunerationsare
    commensurate with their training and their jobs and that
    such remunerations are paid when due.
    It is
    quite possible that the a more detailed analysis of the WAEC
    results would confirm the following:
    1)
    students from private secondary schools would have done much
    better n aggregate than children frompublic
    schools.
    2) the
    higher the socio-economic status and the level of education
    attained by the parents, the higher the
    performanceof the
    students in WAEC and vice versa
    The
    results of the WAEC exams mirror the socio-economic
    development status of different regionsof
    Nigeria as they are inversely proportional to the poverty
    rates in across Nigeria.Northern Nigerian states have the highest poverty

       The analysis of the
    performance of states in the 2015 West African Senior School
    Certificate Examination has emerged with south east states
    again topping the chart with their candidates obtaining the
    most credits in at least five subjects, including English
    Language and Mathematics.Abia state topped the chart
    with 33, 762 of its 52, 801 candidates getting five credits
    and above including Mathematics and English thereby securing
    63.94 per cent. Anambra followed with 61.18 per cent as 28,
    379 out of 46, 385 candidates performed
    well.Interestingly, candidate obtained five credits
    and above, including English and Mathematics from four
    federal government colleges meaning none of the candidates
    from the school are likely to secure university admission.
    The schools are: Federal Government Girls’ College,
    Bajoga, Gombe State; FGGC, Bauchi; FGGC Gboko, and the
    Federal Science and Technical College, Kafanchan.Edo
    state came third with 38, 052 of its 62, 327 candidate
    getting five credits and above while Rivers, Imo, Lagos,
    Bayelsa, Delta, Enugu and Ebonyi rounding up the top ten in
    the performance ranking.Only 646 candidates from the
    14, 784 that wrote the exam in Yobe got five credits and
    above the thereby coming last with 4.27 per cent. Northern
    states occupied the rear positions with nine northern states
    in the last ten positions. They are Adamawa, Osun, Sokoto,
    Bauchi, Kebbi, Katsina, Gombe, Jigawa, Zamfara and Yobe.
    Lagos with 68, 173 out of 141, 963 candidates that sat for
    the examination placed sixth on the rankings.The
    analysis showed that 1,590. 284 candidates sat for the
    examination in which only 562, 413 candidates obtained
    credits in five subjects and above including English
    Language and Mathematics while 1,029,871 representing 64.63
    per cent failed to obtain admission requirement to the
    nation’s universities.

    view of Idowu Bobo  All
    road the presidency of Nigeria runs through Northwest and
    Southwest, 50% of the voters are from these two regions of
    the country.  
    In other words 2 zones make up 50% of
    registered voters. If you convincingly win both you will
    just be scrambling to win 25% from a few more states and you
    are in. 
    Below is a one minute
    analysis of the registration results in tabular
    form 
    ZONE POPULATION

    TOTAL% of
    population.NW registration (61%) is 20
    points higher than the national average of
    45.7%.SW with 19.7% of the population
    has 23.4 % of registered voters or 5 points higher than her
    share of the population.SW registered
    54% of it citizens compared to the national average of 45.7%
    or 10 points above national average.SS
    and SE have the lowest registration percentage except for NE
    and considerably lower than their share of the
    population.  
    Compared with other data from the
    Nigerian government the oddity of the registration exercises
    become more apparent. Take a look at college enrollment
    table. 
    The 2
    zones with the highest percentage of college youths (SE 34%
    of all Nigerian college students and SS 25%) have the lowest
    number of registered voters. In other words college
    education is an impediment to participation in politics or
    access to political information. In no other place in the
    world has this phenomenon been
    observed.NW with a mere 5.3% of
    college enrollment has almost a 2:1advantage over SS in
    registration 61%:38%. Their youth have more access to
    political information than SS or are more politically
    aware.NC which has the highest level
    of college education in the North has the lowest level of
    registration for this election.This
    is just a one minute analysis of the published results. We
    shall look at the details as the registration exercise
    results are published. The State numbers would highlight
    where the most fraud was compiled as would city and
    constituency reports.

    Oga:

    Why do you guy lob these easy questions to me? The Abia student in Abia and the Abia student in Osun have same characters. They are both determine to succeed. Did I not tell you that Igbo succeed everywhere. In Abia and in Osun. Failure is not an option for the Igbo.

    To answer your question, Abia students in Abia passed. Abia students in Osun passed. Osun students in Osun failed. If not for Abia students in Osun, Osun and Yobe would tie for the last position.

    And I am

    That's exactly the response I expected, although the wonder is why Abia did not score 100% if "failure is not an option for the Igbo". Anyways, congratulations.
