No need to be worried until d SE start developing their own lands.. and stop roaming about

what's d benefit of profs. bookworms when you have nothing to show for it... only eroded lands etc.

SW is still da bomb puleasee

SW and SE candidates migrate to the SW after their education and secure lucrative employment. It leaves the SW with sizeable 'migrant' labour population and diminishing control of their resources. The last election exposed the possibility of political control of Lagos by candidates with SE ancestry.

To enter unity school for north you need to get just 10 Chisos..... Still these illiterates full federal service. I noticed that when job hunting I never come across hausa people..... To find an hausa man in multinational company is looking for pin in a haystack. All they wanna dobis ride okada mtschew

My brother, i grew up during the time of 4pm - 10pm/12am TV shows and my parents were actively involve in my devt. Also, they will rather tell you to go outside and play than watch TV all through. In hindsight, 24 hrs TV is beginning to look like a curse.

The standard of education has fallen in every part of Nigeria. Testimonies of corpers posted around the country says it all. Special centers are abound in all parts of this country especially the private schools.

I think that is what should be addressed, an average secondary school student doesn't want to read to pass anymore they all want the easy life but they can sing all the lyrics of songs, they know all the telemundo characters etc etc but basic things about books they dont know.

Also the smart phone has done more harm to this generation of primary/secondary school students than good. They spend all the time chatting etc etc.

Youth corpers are the ones that can tell that the rot is real and honestly its in all parts of the country, forget all the stats. Educational sector is in a danger zone.

I still feel the real deal are the students in the Unity schools, stateschools (some of them) , military schools,navy and airforce . At least they dont do special centers, a lot of private schools and some state schools are spoonfeed their students with answers during these exams to protect their reputation.

2013 I was in a bus going to mile 2 and it was during WASCCE there was a young girl with uniform inside the bus. I think she had an afternoon/late morning paper (Economics).

There was terrible traffic and some elderly people asked her what time is her paper she answered. We all checked the time and it was past time she mentioned,and we were saying come down start trekking or jogging( We were stuck in traffic at volks bustop and her school was a private school barracks bustop opposite Ojo barracks) Then she made a statement I can never forget "they are writing it for me".

I felt as if someone slapped me I put myself in that same position. I attended CDSS OJO at that same barracks and I am sure if it was myself or my classmates were in that position what we would have done was to drop and start running seriously because we know nobody will write for us.

God will help us

But the south west would still dominate in the bussiness and labour sector because all we the south south and the south east think is only school while the people from the south west after or before schooling are going for other proffesional training and leadership certifation programmes to boost their cv, therefore beating you with 9 A's in the labour market any day any time.

We can beat them in exams, but they calculates the bussiness and the labour market more than us.

SW people are educating their kids abroad. No self respecting SW middle class guy I know is not asking his kids to do UK exams equivalent of GCE and the US exams as well. The problem is more than idiotic and shallow inter tribal rivalry. The low IQ politician that dumbo made Minister of Education is still in Rivers Government house speaking his poor english without shame.

There is definitely going to be a tribal war on this thread.

But I got my little contribution to make. I live in the south west, and I did my youth service in Anambra...and I have to say, the people I taught sure weren't intelligent. They laughed at me when I told them men had gone to the moon before. Girls came from outside to write exams in the school cos they received assistance. I really don't know what is going on though...Educational standard might really have fallen in the south west, but when I think of all the people that excel academically in our society that are from the south west, I wonder if all these data are accurate.

I lived in Lagos and I served in Ibadan. If I tell you the things I saw in both Lagos and Ibadan esp. all these big private schools in Lagos,teachers give their students answers to WAEC questions so that the school has a high pass rate and they can boast about their level of success in WAEC and I mean very expensive and popular schools....pls leave all this talk abeg,it happens everywhere and the effect of this cancels out in all regions when checking the statistics. The region that still comes out tops after the effect of malpractise has been cancelled out should be commended and other regions should try to find out how they go about it. All this unhealthy rivalry and always looking for reasons to discredit other people's achievements does not help anybody.
I know for a fact that anambra has the best govt schools in Nigeria now. Their govt has pumped so much into the educational sector and it is seriously paying off.

From the south-east to the south-west and down to the north education is generally bad in Nigeria and needs urgent attention. Apart from the lack of infrastructures and incentives from the government to teachers, kids these days do not show any desire to learn. How can one explain the fact that an average eight-year-old in lagos knows the lyrics of efejoku off head but doesn't know how many continents we have in the world ?. Take a trip to any jamb center most prospective undergraduates students writing the exam are more interested in any expo they can lay theirs hands on before the exam starts. The moral decadence social media has caused is a topic for another day. That was how one jamb student boasted to me how he scattered post ume exam immediately after the test. well, I was curious to know the type of questions that was asked. He told me in the current affairs they asked "who the senate president was", I was like the questions are cheap oo. something just told me to ask him and when I did he said " is it not David mark" I shook my head in disbelief with all the news of saraki then when his corruption case just started with CCT I knew he would fail and yes he failed woefully.

efejoku off head? Abi off hand

[quote author=HomeOfMe post=42755713]In my opinion,I think one of the reasons why Lagos is doing so badly in waec is because of social media and gadgets. In the east,you hardly see secondary school students with expensive phone;the highest you'd see with them are those phone which cannot browse that they sell for 1500 or 2k. Lagos has the highest percentage of smart phone users among junior high and senior students. This in my opinion is making them lose concentration in their studies. Since my husband bought my 10year old son a smart phone,he dropped from 1st position to 3rd,and his teachers and headmistress sent for me just yesterday to complain. That same yesterday the headmistress said they caught a girl in jss 3,same class with my son watching pornog.raphy in her class after school hours with her phone. What has the world turned into. They should start by banning the use of smart phone by high school students until after WAEC![/quote

Very concise. While technology has its own merits , it would be undoing of nigerian youths if things are not put in place. you are still talking about phones I know of some 10 year old that can sing shakitibobo from begining to end. I had to warn my sister to guard against her kids. my nephew knows almost all the adverts on tv word for word. while it is good in one aspect , if not watched it might turn to an addiction. we tend to take things with levity. we are too lax with other inanities such as pdp vs apc, igbo vs yoruba to see the danger that lies ahead

Fact! Many Nigerians errorneusly believed that SE is only interested in business simply because they dominate in the SME's & retail sectors nationwide. In reality, both in the private & public sectors eg in places like Lagos, P.H, Abuja etc, there are as many Igbos as there are others, even the indignious ones. In times past, business was seen as a means of livelihood for semi illiterates but today, things have changed, many Igbos after acquiring university degrees, discovered that there no jobs or even when they are employed that what they earn is just a fraction of what those in business earn! Today many Igbos on graduating now take over family businesses or branch-out in a more modern way. Yesterday, I went to buy laptop but during discussions, I learnt that he graduated from FUTO(same as I) in 2008, his outlet is just like office, he drives a honda EOD, is married & living very comfortably. I also ran into my old course-mate, he is almost through with masters but sells stock-fish!!

so expect you expect an African to be able to speak English more than their own language... you're smoking british weed... the main problem we have is Nigeria's unity... Nigerian education should be in local language.. so that people like will not exist and think they are better than people who speak their language better than a foreign language...

I understand you..but there is nothing as good as you can speak your local tongue as fluent as you can speak English,waec subjects are not written in our local tongue but in English,how do you intend to pass well without been able to express yourself in English,so far as it is our lingua franca we should be fluent in it.
