Miracle centres is just euphemism for exam malpractice centres...It is not same as tutoring centres, nothing in common.. WAEC fees is 10-15k, miracle centres add 50k "exam facilitation" fees to it, the students on exam day don't have much to do beyond transcribing from the already prepared answer sheets to their own papers.... WAEC is like your SAT or is it GED? Final exam in high school... Jamb is the pre requisite to gain admission to college / university. .. You need both... WAEC is easily manipulated but Jamb is CBT, results are ready in quick time so the room to manipulate is non existent... I already highlighted the major fault line behind why our students are failing massively, " HORRIBLE ELEMENTARY STANDARDS".. It then gets carried on into mid school & high school, when my kids are reading to me , i ask them to point at the exact word & not joint rush through... I am not one to brag about my kid is doing pry 4 work when I'm actually the one doing most of it.. It is a cycle that needs to be broken.. I get your point. If these miracle centers are "known facts".....why isn't FG putting an end to it? Or JAMB/WAEC.
That's part of the corruption we are talking about na. The educational inspectors who should close them down get settled handsomely by these centres. One of my wife's aunties has refused to be promoted away from her desk in the inspection dept because she doesn't want to lose those extras. During my NYSC in jos, to make extra bucks, i taught Chemistry @ owoblo educational centre run by one Mazi Ikechukwu like that. The guy na first class runs man

When they put an end to Fake drugs, sale of adulterated/substandard products & stop open/uninhibited sale of pirated intellectual properties publicly on the streets.. Ileke, na naija we dey, dazall... Thevoice (my greatest gbagba, gbogbo bros) don finish the marra.. nothing to add.. Bros, i have a girl that will be 7 in January as well, she is primary 2 & has about 4 other pupils who are a couple of months older than she is in her class of 23.....We are not bowing to pressure to skip a year, she lost that one year cos i made sure she didn't start pre nursery till she was 3, Age 2, we left her to watch barney in playgroup.... Like you, we are not rushing anywhere... BTW, she's been class monitor since Nur 1, & best student as well... I'm so happy such a smart child is my progeny.. A frenemy of mine claims it's cos she is older than most of her classmates, i have refrained from pointing out that her daughter (6mths diff)can't do homework & class projects unassisted....

Well you know I am a numbers man, so the table does not surprise me in the least. I remind folks on NL that because I know where ALL the bodies are buried, the fact that I don't jump into the fray on those ethnically-charged threads should not be confused with ignorance. Ilugunboy is another handle who used to issue regular admonition to the self-styled Lekki Big Boyz, who own ALL OF LAGOS. Although he has dropped enough hints that his day job provides access to verifiable figures which speak to a different reality, the seeing-blind and hearing-deaf nitwits are programmed to think otherwise. That a tiger does not boast of its tigritude (to borrow a phrase from Uncle Wole) does not make the truth malleable.

Yoruba Unis just swallowed the top 5. Where would Nigeria be without the Yorubas, despite the fact that we're just scratching the surface of our potentials? True words.OAU is still standing strong by the way.Please what will we remember Jagaban for when he dies? No doubt about it, a very literate society helps in pushing the frontier of societal peace and development and if not for anything? the relative peace and development we have continuously enjoyed in the SW cannot be overlooked if not for the many pro educational activities dotted across the SW of Nigeria which has kinda helped her people to think outside the box and pursue peaceful co existence by and large . . . . . . . enough respect to the Universities that made that list.
My worry again is we are yet to seamlessly transfer this so called enlightened or pro educational inclined society of ours into a job creation society and boost the wellbeing of our kindred. Creating jobs that will swallow up this army of graduates and unemployed youths should be our main focus cos no need spending a fortune going to this universities and jobs are not available to apply this knowledge garnered.
As regards what has Tinubu done for the SW? in my humble opinion i feel he has done a whole lot albeit intangible benefits more like, amongst his many achievements remains how he engineered a serious paradigm shift in our political landscape on how a small opposition party was able to wrestle power from a behemoth party like PDP. . . . . . . . . .unheard of in Nigeria political history mind you.
It might look not far fetch NOW but if we recall, Tinubu was the only opposition governor during OBJ tenure in the SW, firstly he had to build a party machinery including men/woman that will help fight off the PDP machinery who were trying all they could to swallow him up and muscle him down withholding due revenue allocation to Lagos State amongst other volte face attack on his government . . . . . .that couldn’t have a being a walk in the park for him/team with all seriousness my people. . . . . . .?
I think his first term in government was more like building the party and headhunting/fine tuning men/women that have now gone on to become cornerstone members of this present democratic dispensation as ministers, governors, commissioners, senators etc. and forming alliances across the divide . . . . . .intangible benefits all the way.
He may not have built another Cocoa house and provided a free education policy but we can’t deny the fact he gave us a new brigade of political leaders who by and large are a far cry from what the PDP brigade of yore would have assaulted our sensibilities with, folks like Obanikoro, Bode George, Akala and company would have being the poster boys of all things political leaders of SW should never be by now. . . . . better imagined than experienced you would agree!
Within the sphere of contributing positively to our political journey, Tinubu has done his best and it’s bemoans on this new brigade of leaders to leverage or build on what he did, if Tinubu can give us all this guys, each and everyone of this guys should replicate this feat too and am sure the tangible benefits like big infrastructural projects would be seen across the land in no time working in unity of purpose by them all.
Lets just put Tinubu in the mold of a farmer that came to plant, watered the seed and kept the goats at bay, now left for this seeds to go on and bear good fruit but we cannot deny the fact he has done his own quoter, history will have to be kind on him as a purveyor of political mentorship and party alliances, something Awolowo was unable to achieve despite his much touted success regionally and his many tangible legacies . . . . . . a tree does not make a forest especially in this 21st Century where people skills, connectivity and atimes reaching a compromise matters a lot to get things done.
Ahmed Tinubu in my books still a remain a political enigma, could have being better but he still fought the good fight considering many of his contemporaries have now disappeared to oblivion. . . . . . . . .some staying power he certainly has eh? . . . . . . . . .thoughts
