Dear Nigerians, the reasons for mass failure of our teenagers in public exams are not far fetched.

1 FACEBOOK,YAHOO,TWITTER,MYSPACE and generally browsing on the internet instead of reading their books

2 ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE and EUROPEAN FOOTBALL LEAGUES, it is easy for an average nigerian teenager to know the names of all chelsea players but same youths cannot tell you the square root 25 in mathematic. Worse still is that these days instead of seeing inscriptions like UNIVERSITY or SCHOLARS on the exercise books, what you see are pictures of paloma,Drogba,Beyonce,Omotola etc

3 DSTV,Home video and african movie magic, watching television and films endlessly.European champions league,English premiership,Barca,Blues,Chelsea,MAN U etc

4 GSM and BLACKBERRY, the average nigerian teenager uses the latest and expensive gsm phones just to show off that they belong,when they are actually nothing.

5 GSM TEXT LANGUAGE, I will not be surprised to see students write words like ur (for YOUR), 2moro,2mao( For tomorrow) in their EXAM sheets

6 QUEST FOR CHEAP FAME AND WEALTH, The government,electronic media(tv and radio) and companies have not been helpful at all.The average Nigerian youth especially the girls want to BE silver Birds most beautiful Girl and get cheap money and fame(Nobody has remembered all the previous miss world,but we still remember MOTHER THERESA),they want to win IDOLS WEST AFRICA, they want to be in NOLLYWOOD, they want to be TWO-FACE,they want to win maltina street dance ,they want to win starquest and GULDER ULTIMATE SEARCH
Warning is that wealth gotten by vanity shall DIMINISH.

7The new craze of TALENT SHOWS: Suddenly The only talents our youths now have are music,dancing,acting and stand up comedies, they no longer have talents for maths,physics and entrepreneurship.

lack of reading habit contributes to the continuing failures in the public examination. When i was in secondary school, i used to read from beinging to the end of every subjects i was offering.

abeg make we hear word.the truth is that this exams are getting tougher these days or should i say the marking scheme is now harder.the way my brother read for the exams hen i didnt read half of it to pass.nevertheless he still tried an made 5credit.but during my time hen i nack A! as if its free of charge.

You people sould just stop all these twitter,facebook,2go blame as reason for mass failure. Its becoming an annoying stereotype honestly!

If i may ask,arent their american/european e..tc counter-parts also exposed to such stuffs,if not even more in this jet age? Also to mention the fact that our society is less exposed to technology and mordern distractions compared to those societies.. How come mass failure(s) is predominant mostly in this part of the world?

I am not ruling out the fact there's also some un-seriousness on these kid's part but the curriculum/teachers and the way students are being taught in this part of the world plays a dare i say--- bigger role..

The joke is on you if you think a reduction on internet activities and other causes you mentioned will improve performance..

Why should the kids take 100% blame when some, if not most of the problem comes from how the educational system has been poorly engineered over time to relate with some of these kid's imagination?
