Okay.

You mean the court halts the sacking of illiterates being paid teachers' salaries? We are in serious trouble in this country. Okay o.

Who employed them in the first place?
I think those that employ the unfits should be probed. But I can tell you, do this competency test in other sector, millions more will fail. Country where everything is who you sabi, my brother, my tribe, our son, our turn...I'm not surprised.

my question is how can u sack 20,000 teachers at once? y not atleast sack 1000 in months?
no wonder the governor is refered to as 'hell rufai"

The court should pay their salary too now. I do not see a problem once that is taken care of.
