Scam is in many format and virtually every human being engage in it including CEOs, religious leaders. Some scam are considered legal while some fall into the category of illegal means. For instance, I see no difference between a Yahoo guy who convince a lady with a fake love to extort money from her knowing fully well his intention is just to get the money with a pastor who convince congregation to drop money into offering box if they want to receive job,get married this year, gain admission, secure Visa etc. The IELTS exam is a scam that was projected to look like a legit means.

If University of Ibadan can tell their graduate's to write an English proficiency exam to gain admission to study a master's degree. Then I don't blame this people. Imaging a school where I was taught in English. I did many presentations to demonstrate my speaking skills, wrote project, assignments and exams to demonstrate my writing and reading skills. Took notes in class and seminars to demonstrate my listening skills. And after graduating from the school with second class upper, I was told to come display these skills in one stupid exam before I can pursue a master's degree.

Is that not a shame.
Aptly put my brother. Isn't that ludicrous? So let's not blame these foreigners for requesting we write English proficiency tests when our government and institutions we graduated from don't even rate and trust us enough.

This test shouldn't be applied to Nigerians. A lot of Nigerians speak English fluently more than the native Americans, British or Australians.

Do you really and truly believe what you've just written lol grin

How exactly can you speak English better than English speakers. Who judges what is better?

We can speak Nigerian English better than everyone, but English in this context is British English and Nigerians don't and can't speak it better than British people

Some of you claim to be educated but can't prove your education. What's all the ranting and talking down on waec for. That waec is nonsense?
Nigerians always talking down on their own to feel fly and posh.

Let it be known to you that many high school students of those countries will fail waec if they take the exam.
well Waec is nonsense, with all that is going on with them… no one even trust their result to be legit

Was it on scholarship? How did u manage to sponsor yourself? Cos I almost got admitted to University of Plymouth but chickened out after seeing bills
Baba, I still dey trenches in Abj, Nigeria undecided. I got the admission this last December but the scholarship didn't work, if not I should be in UK cos we are supposed to resume on 24th of January embarassed. But we go again this year. Just get cheap schools in UK and most of them don't require you to pay all at ones. I don't know if student loan is available to international students in UK. E go be, I just know this is my last year in this country. Check Hertfordshire University and University of Kent, UK, with 2m you will leave this country; £2000 for CAS and £450 for Visa then get proof of funds. Yeah 2m will take you to UK with this two schools, then you pay the rest in instalments.

Lol. Immigrants who will never smell airports. We do not only speak English but also write UK English version. Rip-off!




@Peacejoylove, do you care to explain why this English proficiency dey expire at all and after just two years?

You want to study or migrate, hmmmm.... 2 years is enough to make a significant step. And if you dont make it then, yowould have seeing it is for you or not. So, 2 years is ok.

English is official to you, but there are many nations there where they dont speak English. E.g. it takes 2 years for swedish to drop from advance to upper intermediate if such doesnt use the language again. And you that is using it as official, your accent can kill you, so you need to keep improving your pronunciation. If you do not practise after two years, you will lose it, and you cant pronounce clearly in such a way their own citizens can understand you. I know many who dont understand British accent. They cant cope with watching British movies, they only just follow pictures only. Lol.

I think you arent exposed enough. You actually wanted to look smart, next time, try to take it easy.

Most Europeans taking the test dont complain, but Nigerians are. Your naira is bad. But when you sgsrg Earnings £, would you remember the amount of naira you paid for the test?

He's right, a significant percentage of UK schools accept at least a credit in English in your WAEC in place of IELTS, some even accept NECO.
Admissions in the UK is pretty easy to get as the regulations are favourable, once you can afford it

We asked you why the test on use of English expires, and after just two years? That's two questions for you but look at your answer! It didn't explain any of the questions.

What weren’t you properly taught in school? Please, stop this nonsense. Nigerians on the average are very good English speakers.

Averagely you mean ... Pronouncing words with an accent different from English is not good enough . Do you know how many Nigerian confuse "their & there" , been & being and those words are so simple to differentiate. Stop your nonsense too

I also wrote to IELTS asking how possible it was for proficiency in a language used everyday to be reduced within 24 months? No response
They won't respond because they know you come from a shiiitt country without a government & they are making cool cash.
