MAYOWAAK: Are you simply fascinated by this obviously plagiarised essay or you lack comprehension of the crux of this thread. There is no modicum of correlation between your post and the subject/topic. Your point lacks the needed constructive and logical link to the debate. It does not come as a suprise that Nigerians are now disenfranchised from taking the exams (TOEFL/GRE). Critical comprehension askills and analytical views to topics are always lacking. The avarage Nigerian student just cant do without 'copying and pasting', claiming to be smart when apparently, they know next to nothing. So annoying 2 Likes |

adexsimply: What development of the country are you talking about? Is it students who last tasted lecture almost 4 months ago that will develop it? When it's time, who will recycle those corrupt old guys that got part(s) or all their education outside the country? Credibility is lost, you're here talking about development. |

A while back, I was at work, and there was a colleague of mine, and from even up close, you'd swear she was of excellent moral standing, calm and good. She was singing a christian song as we worked and then she broke halfway through her song to turn to us and ask "please do you know where they write GRE on the mainland?". Most people suggested the island, and then she replied "no, I want the mainland. I need someone that can supply me the answers for the exam beforehand. VI location, I'm not sure they would. Someone said the Ikeja one he got complete answers to the test before". Then she turned back to her computer screen and christian song. The only good, non-corrupt Nigerian is a dead or an unborn Nigerian. Just forget morals, ethics or anything. I'm glad they're scrapping the exam. 9 Likes |

The greatest problem we have is the urge to garner societal acclaim. Nigerians spoil every good thing and make it hard for themselves and others. It is amazing. |

The problem of depravity is human problem not nigerians alone & religiousity does not necessarily means uprightness though that's how it ought to be.That aside, there are still many well meaning unbending morally tall nigerians that cant stand the sight sight of gross decadence we witness everyday everywhere in this nation. |

I started this thread https://www.nairaland.com/1508449/what-going-nigeria-im-confused yesterday. Was feeling a little better this morning before I read the news of 1 NSCDC officer owning 61 houses and now this! I think we're in serious trouble in this country. I wrote TOEFl some years back and even supervised so of the exams, it very easy, to think people will cheat. They make the exams simple enough and have a lot of checks, but Nigerians are still breaching the system. I guess its a message the US is sending us as a whole, that has people we've failed and support corruption! I think this people monitor our media and social networks and have found that we do condone corruption. Please all the e-warriors, cyber special assistants and social network ethnic defenders pls kindly tone down on your activities a bit, not asking you to stop completely but tone it down a little, you're the ones causing the greatest harm to this country and the generation yet unborn. Please I'm really begging! |

victorv12: It seems like these westerners doesn't want Nigerians again in their country. We scare them! Thesame in India, Ghana, China, South Africa, Kenya and the UK. If they can suspend these Two exams, and at thesame time, the US Visa lottery, we should all be at alert! Something terrible is about to happen in this country. The signals are too glaring. Not long ago, the British goverment nearly imposed a 3000 pound visa bond on us. Our sensless rulers should wakeup from their slumber. Something terrible is being planned by the imperialist and the colonialist. It seems like they want us to die in our ignorance!

cezeozue: Hey guys, God bless you bro. Signed. This news is very painful. To think that I've been on my friends' necks to take the GRE soonest. Thankfully, one of them took her GRE just last week & did very well. I'm 90 percent sure I wouldn't have taken the GRE in 2012 if I had to go to Ghana to take it & consequently won't be where I am today. US admission hopefuls, let's hope this is reversed soonest. However, if you can, please go to Ghana to take the exam if you r sure of doing very well & plan to study here in the US, particularly potential grad students. It's a sacrifice that can be worth it in some cases. To the morons doing TOEFL runs and the condemned dullards asking for it, na una fault o. Fo.olish people. |

I am so saddened by this news. I applied for a scholarship and intend to write the exam in Feb 2014. Where should I travel to Ghana to write an exam when there's a centre a stone throw from my office in abuja. First it was western union now TOEFL and GRE examiners, next it will be mastercard and visa and then the UN.

bigheart2013: Poor Kids, sorry! The price of coming from a corrupt nation. However, I never had to write TOEFL when I did my post-graduate in USA. The admission office of the Uni insisted, but I went to the Dean's office and argued it out that Nigeria is an English-speaking country. I was very courteous, never raised my voice but remained adamant and passionate. During the course of my discussions she was paying attention to my use of English Language. At the end she agreed with me that I didn't need it, and sent email to the admissions officer to allow me register. Maybe I was lucky. But sometime if you can prove yourself USA administrators are very hands-on & believe in merit. You just need to prove yourself. You are right, they waive it if you make a good case. I have a Grad schoolmate that didn't have to do it. I did it. As regards the cancellation, i know something has been going on in those test centers. Some close relative few month ago sent me his GRE and TOEFL scores and i can tell that this guy's intelligence doesn't match the score. Well, when corruption has been legalized by the Govt., what do you expect from the younger generations? this is so sad, we are not trusted on anything. ETS is too embarrassed to admit that they have been duped. Which insecurity? |
Re: GRE & TOEFL Testing Suspended In Nigeria by Akiika: 7:06pm On Nov 08, 2013 |
Most of you kids need to change your ways, fast lane is not always the right way. You have all accepted corruption and cheating to be the norm. Those test centers have been compromised, it ain't nothing about security, they are just too embarrassed to admit they have been compromised. |
Re: GRE & TOEFL Testing Suspended In Nigeria by Akiika: 7:17pm On Nov 08, 2013 |
pato405: lol...i think he may have plagiarized too, but we are not sure. I think the point of the writer is that majority of Nigerians are corrupt and we only condemn it hypocritically. The testing centers have been compromised and the so called sharp guys have been paying for high GRE and TOEFL scores. I have a close relative whose GRE and TOEFL scores are suspicious, they don't just match his intelligence!!! |
