Exam cheats cannot succeed without the help of their lecturers. If the teachers and lecturers would make up their minds to put an end to exam malpractice, they will succeed. What they lack is the zeal, committment and conviction to do so. Not when a student could give nothing less than N10000 per course to scale through exams.

If teachers are made to reap what they sow, then they would have more at stake. What happens when you deny a teacher/lecturer a new job simply because he/she last taught in a school/department where exam malpractice is the order of the day.

As an undergrad, I had a particular lecturer who has received countless death threats simply because you CANNOT cheat in his exams. However, while he never advocated for expulsion, he would make sure such a candidate repeats an entire session. Once you hear him tell anyone to GO HOME during an exam, that's the end of the story. Even a State Commissioner's son was not exempted. The man knew no fear, and made as many friends as enemies. But his integrity remained intact until he retired.

I would readily advocate the following as a minimum for exam malpratice irrespective of the level of education:

Student: Repeat that class until he/she can pass the exam without cheating. Expulsion from the school after two unsuccessful attempts.

Teacher/Lecturer: Sack. He/she should never dream of any future as an academician.

If a student that cheat in exam should be condemned to death, i wonder what will be the penalty for those that false their certificate. Don't forget that sometime ago, it is a minister or a senator was got with fake result and was sentence to 1yr imprisonment with a fine option of N500 which he paid the fine and few months latter he was given presidential pardon.

So, Seun don't bring up this idea because it's only the poor that it will binds

supported. Why should others sweat to make it and other go to cheat? an eye for an eye. if u cheat, be prepared to face whatever consequences.

why kill an ant with a sledge hammer?if the punishment for exam malpractice is death then what happens to those looting our treasury?to those peddling drugs?i mean this country sickens me,why not let's start by killing all our looters,all the drug barons and all the bad eggs in our country and see if there will still be a student that will look over his or her shoulder during a class quiz

seun e never reach like that oh! cool down!!

The fact that some people are taking this seriously shows how much we need to learn in this country.

Seun, sorry ohh if it was supposed to be a joke,
just that i can't tell the difference between when you're jokin and when you're not

I believe in living and letting others live. If I express an opinion that's the opposite of that, then I'm joking.

Also, if I say "alright, it was a joke" in my second post, then it's probably a joke.

i'm glad it was a  joke

imagine u being the president of Nigeria, with death panalty (for any crime whatsoever) 
you'd have to live there ALONE 

No!try think of some other measures.if you will reason with me,malpractise is the aftermath of corruption and bad governance.The whole system is sick.Besides,THOU SHALL NOT KILL!

Sorry to break it to you but we are no longer in the Dark Ages so exam malpractices cannot be punishable by death.

As a matter of fact,how many people can beat their chest $ say they never cheated in any form in any exam even u, frm pri. to unv. level?am not siding malpractice but death penalty for exam malpractice is not a solution. let d govt $ all of us come out and address educational system.

Na wa for u o Seun. Death penalty?!!

you no even talk 21 yrs imprisonment with hard labour.

I quite appreciate your concern, but that would be making fun of our legal system.

I wonder y we talking of dealth sentence for Mal practice when we leave those that steal billions of naira and get away with it by being sentence to Six-months sentence or those that left Nigeria cos of catarrh for treatment abroad wen they ought to fix our health system here .Pity!!!

na wa 4 person way post this topic o.

he jokes, he jokes
he kids, he kids

maybe we should see this as a serious joke.
seun must have changed his mind because of the reactions by members of this forum.
I suggest no one should post things like this again.
I almost hammered on him,before I realized he said it was "serious" joke.

Why are people so slow? It's obviously a work of satire. I don't even believe in the death penalty for armed robbery. The willingness of people to believe that I would propose the exact opposite of what I believe in scares me. Because it means that if someone claims that I did something I could never do, you would believe that person.

Kolomenta!!!!!

The originator of this idea must be a very wicked and mean hearted fellow or how on earth can someperson have such thought as death penalty for exam cheat for as little as primary school pupil!

Haba! spear me the blabladash.

Seun, if this is your idea, it is very foolish.

'Na wa ooooooooooo'
'The guy say na joke, yet people kept on shouting crucify him, crucify him '

Well, here is my own joke.

I wonder if heaven were to show a video clip of each of the exam every nairalander have sat for, how many of us will be GUITLESS of EXAM MALPRACTICE

Hey wait, don't dash for your weapons of vengeance, I pre-informed you that it is only a joke!

malpractice is here to stay in this country as long as our leaders refuses to change or better still ask
ALAMIEYESIEHA FORMER BAYELSA STATE GOVERNOR. WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO , A MAN CAN STILL TIE WRAPPER AND BIG BLOSE MORE THAN A WOMAN.

I composed an exquisite work of satire and ******************* to appreciate it. Shame on Nigeria.

shu na wa 4 n u ooooo.u wan kill everybody 4 nija.make u take ti ooooooo.find anodatin talk

from my opinion, i think if death sentence is d answer, if we are to be sincere, seun u should be the first to be killed. Because there's no way u can tell us that u've never cheated in your life time. so i think if u can surrender your life, i'll now decide whether i'll surrender mine.

ki la gbe ki le ju.

ki la gbe ki le ju.

no be only death penality .make dem include death free kick .kolomenatlist

Well, Seun you are right. I mean, not the death bonnaza, I propose if anyone is catched malpracticing, His parents should br flogged, and if na old man, his old papa should, because charity should come from home.

If na teacher pickin, ticher should be flogged, principal pikin, him papa should be flogged on assebly ground, if na minister pikin, him papa should be flogged, if na OBJ pikin self, him papa should be flogged, if u can't flog him, bring him to me, I swear, I will lash him real good.

If u pass death sentence to any offence in Nigeria, na innocent people go remove, because with 700 million, like can be there!

Can't stop laughing. Plssszzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Death Sentence??  lol Seun your hilarious

Thanks.
