Abba my fellow Ajegunle resident:On a serious note the Northern elites have to address the issue of ACCESS to western education to the Northern poor. Unless that problem is resolved BH or another incarnate will always have a ready pool of uneducated idle young hands available for recruitmentThe North's school enrolment does NOT align with its census figures. You have to get the kids in school first before they can write London GCSE!There should be a Marshall plan for education in Nigeria that makes it compulsory and free for all children under 16 to be in school. Fuel 'subsidy' can fund this planJoe

Subject: Re: [NIgerianWorldForum] RE: ||ABBA|| 13 Northern states and WAEC results....
My friend Colly,
Thank you for elevating me to the exalted title of the ``defence secretary" of the mighty North region-:))).
Next time you land at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, I shall ask my boys at the airport to ``show that I, indeed, reign supreme"-:))))...and that SLS (as he then was) is now our most-beloved Emir of Kano. I am sure the last bit of the last sentence would make your blood boil....na bad belle dey worry una-:))).
On the WAEC result thing, I pay little or no attention to the whole system...the exams are almost always compromised; the so-called States that tend to do ``well" do so for reasons that have always been obvious. If we come to office next year, I will suggest to the President to abolish WAEC and replace it with a standardized international exam (such as London GCE). Any exam conducted in Naija's of today is, by definition, suspect...this is sad for me to admit so, but it is true. You know it. I know it. We all know it. The culture of corruption instituted by the PDP, for those 15 or so agonizing years, has permeated into every sphere of the Naija conciousness/psyche. No be so?

That the Northern states did so poorly should not come as a surprise to anyone --including the Defense Secretary of the North, indomitable Abba G. Until the North learns to educate its women (instead of putting them in Purdahs) and do away with almajirism, it will continue to harvest what it sows. More poor results.
But what continues to surprise me is why Taraba state --an arguably southern state-- continues to post terrible results. That state should be doing better --like Imo, Oyo, Anambra, etc.
Mister Shekarau does have a job to do for better results out North.

Fellows
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...Ogun, Kogi, Cross River, Osun and Oyo states
there should be a BLUE RIBBON PANEL set up to find out what is going on here .
Mr Wike should take over the education of these northern states and make adjustments.
One of the thing IGBO will do for these people is to let them know that BOKO IS NOT HARAM.
The FED will declare a state of INTRA STATE Emergency and use a huge chunk of the state allocations for Education.too many school building ...but...they are not learning anything.
All these Northern states are bent on Arabic studies but they are no ARABS but all are wanna bees.
they should stop going to Pakistan to recruit people to teach in these schools at high salaries while we have people in the south that can do the job cheaper.
Sambisa forest + 74 virgins + Chibock girls are not the way to go.
Because 2029 is almost around the corner.
they must have brains to pilot nigeria when it is handed to them from the Middle belt.
These people want to learn.
They should give us the number of hausa who took these Exams in EAST.
They all passed because EAST are ahead ...this include every body in it EAST+ HAUSA + YORUBA + invaders.
They just need EATERN GUIDING LIGHT.
How are they going to fill those Universities up North?
They do not have the students.
How is Atiku filling his private University in YOLA...
These Crazy private MEGA University out on the other side do not have the students either.
they are busy raising school fees to N120,000.00 a year. ..
OtioOoOooooOoO
Every one is looking EAST........Universities + Police + army + customs + Presidency + Mega Churches
We own the damn place.
tell them I sad so.

13 Northern states trail in WAEC results
by SAIDAT ALAUSA on Sep 23, 2014 | No comments
Posted under: Highlights, News
… Anambra, Abia, Edo top list
… over 1m unable to make varsity admission requirements
Statistics of candidates' performance in external examinations, especially in the West African Senior Secondary Schools Certificate Examinations, WASSCE, has always found Northern states at the bottom of the ladder.
It is no different this year as most of the states in the northern region, except Kaduna and Kano, have again shown abysmal performance in the performance chart for this year's WASSCE results released by the West African Examination Council, WAEC, recently.
Surprisingly, some of them could not even record up to 2,000 candidates in the entire state who scored credit passes in five subjects including English Language and Mathematics, the requisite subjects combination that could secure prospective undergraduates admission either in the country or overseas.
No wonder, most of these states are still being referred to as educationally disadvantaged states several years after the country's political independence.
For instance, Yobe, which took the last position among the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory Abuja, has only 743 out of its total 15,310 candidates, who sat for the exam that obtained credit passes and above in five subjects including English Language and Mathematics.
Bauchi which is next to Yobe has 1,548 out of the total 29,332 candidates that passed the requisite subjects combination. Gombe, 35th on the chart, has 1,107 from a total of 19,502 candidates that secured the mandatory five credit passes. Following them are Kebbi (34th), Zamfara (33rd), Sokoto (32nd) and Jigawa (31st).
From Kebbi, 1,676 had five credits and above out of the 26,615 candidates that sat for the examination this year. In Zamfara State, out of the 29,366 that sat for the examination, only 1,954 obtained five credits and above.
For Sokoto State, out of a total of 18,321 male and 7,070 female candidates that sat for the examination, only 1,809 had five credits and above.
Also, only 1,330 obtained five credits and above out of a total of 17,793 candidates that sat the examination in Jigawa. Adamawa was 30th on the list with only 2,646 students obtaining five credits and above out of a total of 30,235 candidates that sat for the examination.
With 4,549 candidates that got the result that could secure them admission into university, Katsina placed 29th on the chart while Borno came 28th on the list with only 4,868 candidates out of the 31,983 that sat for the examination in the state.
Taraba, Niger and Nassarawa states were 27th, 26th and 25th respectively on the chart with 3,762; 9,211 and 8,621 obtaining five credits and above. Also National Mirror gathered from the statistics that Kaduna and Kano were able to move up the chart leading states like Ogun, Kogi, Cross River, Osun and Oyo states to make 10th and 17th position respectively.
Kaduna and Kano had 36,514 and 18,603 candidates obtain five credits and above respectively to keep their place. Oyo, Plateau and Osun states got the 24th, 23rd and 22nd positions respectively on the list.
Also Cross River, Kogi, Benue, and Ogun states occupied the 21st, 20th, 19th and 18th positions respectively. Kwara State (16th) with 9,999 candidates obtained five credits and above and Abuja (15th) having 2,612 male and 2,956 female candidates obtained the required credits for admission.
Others are Akwa Ibom (14th), Ondo (13th), Ekiti (12th), Ebonyi (11th), Kaduna (10th), Delta (9th), Imo (8th), Lagos (7th) and Enugu (6th). A total of 33,968 candidates from Rivers State made the required five credits and above while 10,529 made same from Bayelsa State. Edo and Abia were third and second on the list while Anambra topped the list with 34,094 candidates obtaining five credits and above from a total of 51,718. Out of 1,692,375 that sat for the examination, only 529,479 made the required credits for admission into university.
