What is Emir of Minna FFS ? I know of Etsu Nupe but no emir.
BTW I served in minna and my girl friend taught at one of the best govt schools there, Day secondary School Maitumbi. She and her friends told me many of the teachers there would not pass GCE, so how is it possible that the students from there too would be able to pass ? The school is just a few meters from  Maryam Babangida's private school where it was said the teachers were being paid by the state govt.  though the school fees for her school were over a hundred k. Hope she's enjoying the money they made from that fraud.

The dude got it wrong about Neco failures. That said, there is nothing more annoying than switching to AIT and BANG!!!. . . Those fools are there talking about Man U, Chelsea and Arsenal as if Nigeria is in the UK or somewhere else in Europe.

The FG should ban such daft TV programmes.

@edoyad, why is it that you cannot contribute logically on any thread without insults, anyway you're a northerner like or not, and a second class northerner at that, so if YOUR LIFE SUCKS, THEN YOU DIE NIGGA. shege alade.

ziddy:

The Emir has a point.

ReachRich:

It all depends on the individual.A good student who knows what he or she is doing will not watch telly when he or she should be reading.There is tim to play and time to work.But what is happening now is that our students who are mostly in the secondary schools dont want to bend down and study.They guys prefer runnung after girls,joining cult groups,playing video games,smoking and drinking when they should be reading.The girs prefer watching Africa Magic and Nollywood channels.Our parents are not helping matters.They prefer sending their wards to Special Centers for the GCE and WAEC exams where answers to exam questions are written on the board for the students during examinations.

ElRazur:

Oh please give those of us who are intelligent a break.

I watched TV when I was supposed to be reading.

I chased after ladies when I should have used the time in focusing on my study

While I was never in a cult, I hanged with the "Gang of Friends" etc and look at me now.

My point? Regardless of what, those who will pass will do so.

hardywaltz:

How are we sure what you turned out to be?

hardywaltz:

I concur with the Emir, however the bulk of the blame should be heaped at the door steps of Parents. While growing up video games (Sega, Super Nes etc) almost derailed me but for the ever watchful eyes of my Mother.
Today we have the EPL, Laliga, Seria A, Facebook GSM, Blackberry, Twitter, Nollywood, AfricanMagic, internet etc. as distractions, Parents (career mothers) now leave their children to house helps and lesson teachers.
My friend's youger brother who is in SS1, cried his heart out and has not uttered a word since yesterday's defeat by Manchester to Chelsea, he can practically tell you everything about EPL since 1876 or thereabout, his execesize book is practically filled with Manchester past and present. and adds Rooney to his name in school.

Sun of god:

He should be blaming the referee's and linesmen only

Not the whole League.

Some of their illogical decisions are messing up our srudents sense of reasoning.
