Chibok Girls: Why Nigerians Are Being Inquisitive Rather Than Thankful by timibofa1: 6:10pm On May 20, 2016
The recent success music played around the Chibok girls is supposed to have raised the shoulders of our dear president high and the Nigerian army by Nigerians but it has rather induced mixed feelings, opinions and reactions from concerned Nigerians. Although nobody refutes their truthfulness but only question the authenticity of the music. That does not, however, imply all Nigerians believe in the music that has been released recently.
The average Nigerian, like me, believed that indeed these girls were kidnapped at Government Secondary School, Chibok, on April 2014 because, to them, such an event is possible with regards to the current security status of the country but the radicalist objects to its truism while contending that it is not possible for those huge number of students to be captured on a broad day light and within a busy area like Chibok. They argue that it is all an attempt to raise propaganda in other to get cheap votes. However, the realists, like me, believe in the song, although not into heart.
But the recent music played around it have induced many of us to swallow the truth, though bitter, that it’s all an attempt to secure political votes from Nigerians as earlier argued by the radicalist.
Recent reports reveal that after a fruitless toiling of several days, weeks, months and years to recover the over two hundred girls, the girls have suddenly started emerging from the same Sambisa forest that has been reportedly ransacked and bombed severally by the Nigerian Army.
Of course, Nigerians are happy about the release, but have also asked salient questions owing to reports had about the released girls.
One of the major issues is concerning the girls’ is their inability to communicate in English as journalists arrived the scene to interview them. Nigerians argue that it is not possible for a SSS student in a government school not to communicate in English. This is because it was reported that this girls were SS3 students. If it is so at least, even though she cannot communicate fluently, she should be able to understand elementary English since it was the language with which she wrote all her examinations from primary to her present class.
Secondly, there had been earlier reports that these girls have been maltreated and sexually abused by their captors and, in fact, some have been impregnated but reports reveals that the physical appearance and outfit of the released girls do not prove that indeed they were under such torture. They seemed to have simply been “married”. More so, it was also reported that the first girl escaped with one of their captor whose reports says has denounced his faith.
The questions arising from the above are:
1. How have they survived in a forest that has been bombed severally by the Nigerian Army?
2. What gave the captor the mind to disclose his identity by escorting her home?
3. What makes him believe that if he discloses himself, he will not be executed but honoured?
4. How did this girl wrote her Junior WAEC?
5. Does she have her Junior WAEC certificate?
6. Are their friends within Chibok especially junior students that know her within the neighbourhood and also who knew about her capture that can identify her?
7. Can the school provide the receipt of her last school fees payment?
8. How come that a SS3 student cannot speak simple English?
9. Can the school or WAEC provide the last papers the girl wrote before her kidnapped?
10. Can the school provide her last attendance on the school register before the capture?
11. Can the girl’s parents provide any of her either JSS1 one or SS2 promotional examination results?
Nigerians believe that if the above questions cannot be answered by the government, WAEC, Chibok School, the girls and the parents, then they are forced to tow the radicalist path that sees it as a myth by tricksters to secure cheap votes. It then means it is a scam of the ages that must be in the Guinness Book of Records.

These are the fundamental questions yet to be answered. Let them continue propagating evil and hogwash all in the guise of 'change'.

Cos merely remembering the lies they told in their electioneering campaigns, nigerians now know that they could have gone to any length in order to get into power. It's clearer now.

A graduate from the south not being able to speak English.

[b]So much has been written about the falling standard of education in Nigeria over the past few years, that one cannot fail to appreciate the severity of the situation for Nigeria as a nation.

Last week there was a case of a Professor of computer science in court who could not answer basic questions about computers, today we read about a lady who was supposed to have completed primary school, secondary school, and then Enugu State University before enrolling in the NYSC.

The only problem was that somewhere along her educational pathway, somebody forgot to teach her English.
No matter what her paper credentials say, it's obvious that she never really learnt to communicate outside her mother tongue. Once again, this is not a problem limited to Enugu state university graduates( I know many excellent Enugu State university graduates), or Ondo computer graduates, it's a national disaster.

Very soon, Nigerian companies would be going to other countries to recruit messangers, clerks, cashiers, not to talk of accountants, engineers, or doctors.

Anybody who agrees that this is a national problem deserving urgent and quick action is welcome to share his/her opinion, also anybody who disagrees and thinks that this is another case of Nigerians in diaspora bashing Nigeria their motherland is also welcome to contribute, but as for me, I fear for naija!

NYSC member can’t speak English’

‘NYSC member can’t speak English’

Page 1 of 2
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Gombe State has rejected the posting of one Miss Ikpeama Doris Ifeoma, over her inability to speak the English language.

Sunday Trust learnt that Ikpeama, a 28 years old Accountancy graduate of the Enugu State University of Science Technology (ESUT) and a serving corps member in the state could not communicate or write in English.

Speaking to Sunday Trust, the state coordinator, Dr. Ogo-ochi Agbo Emmanuel, said she had undergone three weeks orientation programme without being discovered until she was posted to Government Girls’ Secondary School Doma Gombe for her primary assignment as classroom teacher.

She was reportedly screened by the school principal who found out that she could only speak her native language, Igbo.

She applied to the NYSC state secretariat before any complaints from the school principal that she could not go on with her primary assignment on health grounds.

While making the complaints, she was asked to lodge a formal complaint in writing by the state coordinator, Dr. Emmanuel, after some difficulty in communication with her.

Dr Emmanual said she could not write the letter, adding that the state secretariat later got the rejection letter from the secondary school, complaining of her inability to speak English.

He said the NYSC secretariat alerted the NYSC headquarters, saying that Ikpeama is now at the state secretariat pending further directives from the headquarters.

He added that she claimed to have attended the community primary and secondary schools Eziagu, her hometown, before enrolling into ESUT

This comparison is baseless because we all know that education in the South is marginally better than that in the North. Apart from that, Southerners use English and Pidgin as lingua franca due to our heterogeneous polity. In the North, Hausa is their "pidgin"!

Nigerian government under APC took it upon herself to scam the governed. This is ridiculous that Nigerian military under APC wants to confuse 180 million Nigerian. It is a shame. APC is indeed a lie..... I beg them to forget this their Chibok lies for we are far too advanced than that.

You make it sound as if GEJ and PDP did not scam Nigerians on several occasions too, even on this same Chibok matter!

Well, I dont want to go into the past. My point is that this is not an APC/PDP issue. If the said girl is a scam, then we should direct our purviewing lenses to Buhari and not politicise it.

I will keep mentioning you for as long as you keep spewing bunkum. That way, the thread gets longer.

I just detest people who tribalise everything. Must everything have a tribal underpinning?
Is it normal for an SS3 student not to be able to speak ENGLISH in NIGERIA There is nothing tribalistic about that question.

Buhari must bring back my vote, I voted for this man because of this scandal. I thought they were missing until this after when the Chibok community, the principal came out to disown the girl as part of them.
Pls Jonathan forgive me. However I am not saying Jonathan was good but I just realized Buhari was never an option.

Zombified mind.

There is no graduate that can't speak English! Trust me, if the graduate can't speak English then the school the person graduated from must be probed! This is not the same case with ss3 students in the North!
