I have also seen graduates that can't write properly, some can't even spell some simple words.

I'm a teacher with one of the Government Secondary School schools here in Kaduna s State and I can testify,the case is similar here.
From JSS (now UPPER BASIC School) to SSS ( Senior Secondary School) more most especially (in) the rural areas,( you'll hardly see students that can read.
Dem plenty for my school.

It’s a normal thing in the north. Majority of the students can’t read and write. They are only good in Arabic.

It’s an open secret that the north is seriously dragging Nigeria behind in everything. If you have lived in the north before you will understand why am talking about.

Omihanifa:


The problem is their leaders. ( political and religious). Their leaders don’t tell them the truth. And they keep feeding them with wrong information so that they can continue to ride over them. I’m my area dominated by Hausa, they see it as a sin if a girl that’s not your wife come to visit you. They will just believe it’s sex that’s joining you guys together.

They're students but can't speak English in this country!

Angelfrost:


Okay.... So, what should be the common language of communication across the nation?!! Arabic?!!

If a Chinese, Belgian, and French can commit to learning basic English to ease communication at their foreign jobs, why should that be difficult for a person schooling in his birth nation where that language is the main Lingua franca?!

Zulum, who was, last Thursday, at Malam-Fatori, the headquarters of Abadam Local Government Area, located along the shores of Lake Chad in the northern part of the state, paid a surprise visit to the town’s Central Primary School and carried out an aptitude test on about 100 students at the Junior Secondary School section of the school.

Peter Obi has a lot of work to do in the North if he wins. These are talents wasting away. God help us.

You might not be correct, for me I think they are more patriotic to their indigenous languages.

You see on TV where Ukrainians can even speak little English, or is the problem perculiar to Africans alone?

Some European countries won't give you job without speaking their language.

lawrenzooo:

Are you surprised? Some of their teachers cannot speak English that's how bad the situation is.

boldtruthalways:
And this is the same Zulum they have been hailing to be a wonderful VP if Osibanjo was selected. These people should stop deceiving themselves. Look at the appointments of Buhari, it's still the same North that are occupying critical positions. Its time we get a President that will fix the educational issues in the North. Its actually dragging the nation back. When greater number of our populace are educated, people can't be deceived. Lack of education even basic one is what the terrible politicians are using to enslave the people.

eazyduzit:
Like seriously,this Northern children are wizard and brilliant but the foundation is there problem or do I say (priority if getting knowledge).If only their parents give priority to both Western and Islamic education,I tell you this guys will do awesomely well.
Just imagine what a kid from the North who can recite a whole Holy Quaran (written in Arabic) will do if given the support to embrace Western education.....
Just imagine.

ppogba:


Have you forgotten that English is the official language in Nigeria?
Perhaps, govt agencies and ministries should adopt arabic when interviewing candidates or maybe WAEC and JAMB should translate all subjects to local languages?

klonboi:


My dear English was imposed on us because Africans were taken as slaves.

Haven't you noticed that the only countries who's leaders speaks English are those from USA Canada and British ?

It is totally untrue that English was imposed on us because AFRICANS were taken as slaves.
Rather, the colonialists that colonised the various countries of African imposed their official languages on the various countries. Hence, you see Mali and Ivory coast speaking french, Angola speaking Portuguese etc.
