I wondered just HOW some of my coursemates gained admission into the school when I was an undergrad.
They can't even string simple, error-free sentences together!

They are all around us. Garbage in, garbage out!
Was it not one of them that posted "I am a CORPSE member" on Facebook some years ago? Then, they defend/console themselves with "English is not our mother tongue" and "Na who pass sabi book!"


Y'all quoting me to say it could be Auto-correct, I thought it might be, too. So, I checked out his previous posts. Dude dropped more bombs than North Korea!


And no, he ain't a Northerner.

ObaKlaz:
Don't mind the dummy.

Myhusband:




I've a friend who can't speak fluent English, he doesn't even have English accent but he can construct good sentence while writing, he's very intelligent but speaking of good English is usually a big deal for him


so speaking and writing I think is a two different thing, so far is 2.1 is prove through written then I can't rule the person out except if na shortcut person

PhDinView:
He should have been specific:

Many Hausa and Fulani Nigerian graduates FROM THE NORTH can't read and write.

Folks don't know how important it is to train teachers. You train teachers the way you train students. Teaching needs skills. It's one thing to be versed in a field, it's a different thing to have the requisite skills needed to impact knowledge. An educated person who lacks the skills to teach is almost as useless to the students as an illiterate. It's a good teacher that raises good students. This is why the teachers training colleges that have been perennially underfunded need to be revatilised. . It's there that you mould the teachers with the skills and mannerisms needed to be great teachers. Again, this idea of recruiting corpers straight out of the universities into teaching roles because it's easier and cheaper, without any formal trainings might be counterproductive as most of them can't impact knowledge effectively..

Once I see those "Am" instead of "I'm" or "is" in place of "It's", I just turn to the next page.

Lol. "Is ma bufdae"

Especially the 'Am'

womenareapes:
you people will just come here and be speaking rubbish

Did you think all graduates are meant to be teacher?

Do you even know what is professional courses or career?

If you graduated as a medical doctor, engineer or some other professional courses, you expect these graduate to be teaching?

Because you leave in this shithole you expect others to Reason like you?

If you are talking about people who graduated from the department of education I would have reason otherwise..

I'm an educated person and graduate on medical related courses, you expect me to acquire the skill of teaching whereby teaching is not my field

Use and tiny brain and Reason!

mustyguy:
bro you be fool, so you mean say education minister no fit read and write, that was why he graduated from an ivy league University in US which is rated among top ten best Universities, keep wasting your time insulting northerners on nairaland while they are achieving what you can never achieve, if English is the measure of intelligence most countries like china, Korea, France, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Japan, India will be behind nigeria.

Jeromejnr:
Why don't they actually pump money into education and stop spending money on the acquisition of SUV's?

A country with Crab mentality.

Akalia:
Ever heard of the word dyslexia? Many of those that can't read and write might have that condition, not that they are daft or something. Dyslexia does not mean that they are not intelligent, it is only a mental condition that impairs one from being able to read and write, it can be managed however but not completely treated medically.

Amarisco:


Funny you say that.

The situation is actually so terrible that international universities don’t even consider Nigeria an English speaking country, despite it being our national language .

Prospective students have to pay and take additional English exams to prove their literacy, even if they have a PhD - all because it’s obtained in Nigeria. Imagine the insult.

9jayes:
Hes right, graduates from yoruba land

womenareapes:
I swear this people no get sense!

In science you don't really need English because science is logical and universal!

Those eediots up there who are obsessed with English, check there their lives! They are all art students who graduated from mass communication, English, art and drama!

Unfortunately for you, the world does not speak 'Mathematics'. Science is still expressed in English.

You may console yourself all you want, though.

The Minister said the graduates cannot read or write. You automatically assumed it is in English language. He didn't mention any language. You are one of the illiterates he talked about.
