This goes to tell the quality of graduates our education system is producing!

If it is true that she is a graduate, she should return her certificate to whatever institution she graduated from. I am sure the institution would readily and gladly return all the fees she must have paid.

JSayin:
Most people want to write a book but they make two huge mistakes.

1) They think they have to write it all by themselves.
2) They never pay for a professional editor to edit their mistakes.


Prolific writers like J.K Rowling and Chimamanda Adiche are not infallible and make mistakes even with spell checkers and Grammarly.
Their editors are handsomely paid to bring the book up to date.

Even the bicycle repairer in your village with Primary School education can write a book. If he pays a professional editor, it will look as if Achebe wrote it.

Someone I wrote a book for wanted me to spell check, grammar update, format for kindle, design the book cover, and other things in order to save costs. I told him I do not specialize in such services and suggested he outsources to Fiverr. He insisted, I did the best I could and got paid for it but I cannot guarantee it will be error free.

Another one insisted and after 3 spell checks and plagiarism checks, there were still errors in the book that needed professional touch.

I am trying to write my own books for sale on Kindle now. I have paid almost $40 for initial research and I will budget about $100 for professional editing. You cannot be a jack of all trades. A fresh set of eyes can save you local and international embarrassment.
nice one

This is a disgrace from the writer, to the school she graduated from and the publishers. The Nigerian Guild of Publishers needs to wake up from her slumber.

Are you surprised? ANSU students like sorting their lecturers. It's legal and any student who isn't sorting is seen as a fool.
gbam!!! There are extremely brilliant students down there how ever they produce very terrible graduates in the name of sorting,i engaged a corper from ESUT last week and I was really shocked

This book must not be used in any primary school. The author and the publisher need to be flogged.

God of Mercy!!!! Na wa oooo!!! What can we call his now?

This is unbeliveable!!!
This is a big time insult to the educational ministry of this country.

Though as a writer that I am I understand that the mistake might have come from the typist or the printer. But I know that before we take our works to the publishing company (the finishing stage) it might have under gone different pre-reading and editing.
That is why we have editors who edit our books.
