Anyone in possession of a university certificate with the inability to read or write, let the certificate of such an individual be withdrawn and let the school from where he/she graduated be queried cos that's a huge fraud.

A secondary school leaver shouldn't even be found lacking basic communication skills let alone a graduate...

These things happen because we don't have proper checks in place and we glorify certificates too much. The only reason I have a degree today was because I knew the system in this country wouldn't reward you adequately without a university certificate... I was already a genius after secondary school doing what most graduates couldn't do.

Even NYSC should start screening the so called graduates, especially those from Benin Republic/ Nigerien or Ghanaian private universities, even some from Asian countries... Most of those schools are certificate mills.

parkervero:
Graduates in the northern part are mostly in this category.

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.

Fuckingmallam45:

He might have his shortcomings, but that doesn’t mean that he cannot states out what’s not proper in the Country. Even the ones that enrolled for the Npower, who told you that, they can read and write?

Fuckingmallam45:

Well said bro. You might be intelligent but your presentation is nothing to write home about.

Mrbenny001:
Mostly northern graduate including himself

ojuu4u:


What happens to his presentation sir? Is it because of one or two errors? I guess you read it from ur sleep!

Amotolongbo:


Truth

I think the problems lie more with the government, so they have the major part of the solution to offer, not the teachers and students.

The known fact is that, apart from the unity schools in Nigeria, government hardly takes care or show concern to the other public primary and secondary schools.
In the past, there are always inspectors from the LIE(Local Inspectors of Education) and School Boards who always make emergency and unnoticed visitation to primary and secondary schools to spy on the teachers and the Principals, check the lesson notes and the teaching skills, where are they now?
Are they still doing these?

Reading and writing in a tolerable manner are learnt during the course of Basic education (6-3). If a student can’t get it right during the basic education course, he may not likely get it right again.
How then is it justified moving these students to University through quota system in our tertiary education admission, neglecting the place of the mean cut off marks?

Government also has to make sure there is a solid body or council with the task of registering qualified teachers and annual upgrade of teachers that will be recruited into the private and public schools. Not any Tom, Dick and Harry can teach and impact knowledge.

See this one.

During NYSC, the kind of mediocrity that Igbo students from South East display is beyond description.

Their men can only smoke like chimneys and their women can only copulate like donkeys. They sleep with everything for anything.

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:

Lol I have always been told that northerners are not sound academically and the southerners are the opposite and I believed it till i went to the NYSC orientation camp. I saw the southern corpers speaking pidgin English up and down, I thought they were being casual, I laughed when I realised most of then couldn't communicate properly in English.

joyandfaith:


Oh!! Nice one. We should not blame governments both schools that produce such graduates

anataala:
That’s is why 90% fake results and exams malpractices traced to them.

nnamdi640:
China don't speak English and yet they are great.....
Speaking English or writing in English is not a ticket to success. Hope you know that your boss who choose you as minister is a case study. Bubu own is worst because he doesn't understand English,that is why he speaks off point whenever they interviewed him.

Fuckingmallam45:

I’m not referring to him sir, I only buttressed his point.

Weneda:

My brother there was this guy that serve with us during our Nysc days at Oyo state, ogbomosho north precisely. He said he graduated from Benin Republic but I doubt if that guy finished secondary school self. His writing, english communication, the way he behaves say it all. What he moves around with is rubber coke mix with codeine/ tramadol

ojuu4u:


Buttress? But you wrote, his presentation has nothing 'to write home about'. What an absurd!

obyrich:
This is very embarrassing. Some graduates cannot write simple sentences in an email correspondence. You wonder how they managed to graduate.

MadeMan01:
So true. When they sort and sex their way to degrees.

PhDinView:
He should have been specific:

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

Japanese students can't speak English.
Chinese graduates can't speak English or Japanese.
German graduates can't speak English...

This guy just didn't learn English. Simple. Go and find out where he is now. He's speaking whatever language he knows and doing his business. he just doesn't give a fxxxx about English doesn't mean he is stupid.
