Successive Nigerian Military governments headed by Northerners deliberately created structures to promote, protect and enshrine their Northern interests. They deliberately enshrined the Federal Character in our constitution which has permeated and bastardized the educational system in Nigeria. An average northern youth believes strongly in the Federal character as a guarantee to secure a placement in federal schools and employment in Federal establishment irrespective of his educational inadequacy as compared to his southern counterpart.
A system so flawed by admitting a dullard who scored less than 15% in an exams ( and who can't even spell or write his name correctly) into a Federal school should expect to churn out Students and Teachers who knows next to Nothing.
Little wonder El Rufai is bent on sacking over 22,000 teachers who couldn't even pass a pry 4 exams.
The backward North has always been a draw back to the contraption called Nigeria.
Same reason they told the Colonial Masters they weren't ready for Independence in 1957 and inevitably condemned us all to additional 3yrs of colonial rule.

I can bet my 30,000naira that 90 percent of nairalanders bashing these teacher will not get a hundred percent score in a primary 4 exam!! We all need to understand that the north uses hausa as their lingua franca in their daily activities and this usually makes it difficult for them to interprets communication in English unlike most of you who claim you are civilized by dumping your native languages, bearing silly foreign names and adopting everything western. I am proud of the hausa man he is proud of his origin and you know what? The westerners prefers them to you anyday any time.

EdCure:

Did you miss the point, or you're just being deliberately diversional?
The idiot is a teacher!

Barthley:
you for kuku type it in your native language naw.. Finding an excuse .

omoelerin1:
Are things working in your state which is under the Christian cloak of truth? Mumu.

Mockaroo:
must we blame to find a solution?

sexybbstar:
I believe these teachers are brilliant but they find it hard to express themselves in English language. Maybe vernacular should be adopted. No be by force to teach with English language... Most of them have good things to offer but to express themselves is the main issue.

JayCynic:
Dullards with a difference. Im only pitying the young students. When a dullard teaches a dullard, and one of the dullards eventually become a President. What do you think the Country will be like. What even baffles me the most is that the same fools saying that Western Education is forbidden are using the knowlege of western education to make bombs.


We need to confirm Prophet Mohammed's WAEC Certificate, maybe he had parallel F9s

EdCure:


My Christian state has been making the top 5 list in WAEC and NECO rankings in successive years.
The same cannot be said about your state that is infested with educationally handicapped moslem subhumans.
Gambari slave!

dainformant:
why dont you type this is ur native language instead of English

peteromenihu:
For them BOOK is HARAM.

piagetskinner:
lol...the guy is a "motherer"..


I begin to even question the credibility of universities and other higher institutions of learning up north...

those guys graduating with 2.1 and 1st class in UDU or BUk will not survive 2.2 in UI

IYANGBALI:
After corruption north is another major problem of Nigeria

misano:


This one confirmed Boko Haram... With their comment U shall know them

ACE1010:


What do they know apart from killing and bombing

CharleyBright:


Jeez, I can't believe this arrant myopic thinking.
You call someone who can't express himself in English brilliant? Isn't English the dominant language in Nigeria?
And you even shamelessly suggested that vernacular should be adopted.
Whoever spent money to send you anywhere close to the 4 walls of a school made a mistake and wasted his resources.
You are a monumental apology!!!

quiverfull:
The fundamental misjudgment we've made as a country is to assume everyone is cut out for the formal education. Some of these peeps up north will do well as semi skilled artisans.
And the North needs not compete with the South by forcing their people to be educated; they should concentrate on their strength and focus on agriculture.

EdCure:
I keep saying this: the south is a hundred years ahead of the north.

This shows that the education system in the country needs total over-haul... Imagine teachers who are to impact knowledge into students can't even express themselves in English especially on social media platform. While Nigerians are still recovering from the situation in Kaduna were many teachers were sacked after failing basic competency tests, a teacher in Sokoto state is in the limelight after "releasing a banger" on Facebook. See below;

No, formal education is never the yardstick to measure success.

AreaFada2:


Tor! You just mentioned what many refuse to see. No matter how take it, English is till a borrowed/second language. You realize that when you go to USA/UK/Canada, etc.

If we had a proper regional system, we could use one regional language each alongside English in formal education.

That way the problem of comprehension & pronunciation of English many face would not hinder their ability to be effective in their job.

A journalist wrote something similar years ago. He witnessed a SW teacher struggle to explain her subject to her students in English. After the lesson, he was discussing with the teacher in Yoruba language. He said he was amazed how fluent and articulate she was in Yoruba. His conclusion was that the teacher would have been a far better teacher if the language of instruction was Yoruba.

It is the same across Nigeria. Maybe just a bit more in the North because of the dominance of Hausa in daily life.
