Quota system

Which one is quota system again? You guys never miss an opportunity to weep.

Even some of the lecturers in the northern part of Nigeria cannot write and speak English language very well. Western education is a taboo to a real Muslim.

klonboi:


My brother is not bad, I have chatted with a European professor who can't speak English

Not when English is the official language in our schools.

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 ?

Sir, you do realize you haven't answered any of my questions?!!

While English proficiency shouldn't be a total measure of learning and education, shouldn't an educated person have a good grasp of his nation's main language of communication across diverse ethnic groups?!!

VeeVeeMyLuv:

lol. Dem donkearn Arabic.

God bless Governor Zulum for his personal efforts on turning things around in Bornu State.

If all our governor's and leaders can emulate this gesture, ASUU won't be on strike till now.

Many student like obi 3rd class student. I don’t like listen to obi he speaks bad English and he express himself for 10 minutes he will speak in tongues.

The only reason why English was adopted in Nigeria is because of our colonial history.

English is not the primary language in Nigeria. It is secondary and it was adopted because over 300 tribes were fraudulently merged to form Nigeria.
Personally I would prefer if I was taught at school in my language and I get to decide whether to learn English or not.

You listen to zelensky,Putin and Macron on CNN, do they speak English? Aren't they doing better than Nigeria?

No qualms Mr governor,in as much as you have bought exotic cars for the traditional rulers ba komi,they don't need to know how to read and write after all quota system and educationally disadvantaged, terrorists ravaged zone will cover them . Like teacher like students.

That was the case even before boko haram. Even SS3 students majority can't write their names let alone pass an exam

lawrenzooo:

Not when English is the official language in our schools.

Were you part of those that made it official?, The answer is NO and is simply because the colonial Master said it should be your new language and some of you even pay to get the certification

jaeyking:
Yea there are students who can't speak English
Only their indigenous language, either pigdin, hausa, igbo or Yoruba.

Well he should flush out the teachers and employ new ones

And who will go there to teach? Do you have an idea where they are talking about?

Nonsense plus rubbish

eazyduzit:
Teachers are not the problem,their foundation is........
Majority of their parents don't give a damn about Western education but rather they prefer Islamic education,this children sometimes go during break (11:00am) and their parents will send them to go and sale tomatoes, peppers and other food essential ( we call it Tale) and they'll not return to school until the next day.
So many negative issues that I can't explain going on in the northern part of NIGERIA concerning the development of education.

If it's North, let the teachers share in the blame also.

I taught in the North during NYSC, most of the teachers were the same. To the extent they didn't even enter classes, just stay in the staff room conversing in Hausa language, then go home at the end of the day. The students didn't like calling them because they knew even if they came to class, nothing will be taught.

I think the Northern governors should do what Almakura did in Nasarawa state. He employed non-indigenes and started them about two levels above the normal level they were supposed to start or so... That's why Nasarawa have a lot of non-indigene teachers, mostly from Benue and the South east

And the fools will later find their ways to gorverment house rulling intelligent people

I don't know why he is surprise or embarrassed while some senators from that axis cannot speak or read in English too.

Generalwoodz:
Half of my class couldn't read or speak intelligibly.

That's if you want to gauge brilliance using the English language as a Yardstick.

I needed to help these kids I said. I went out of my way and for the love of humans and humanity, stopped all of them from one thing you and I relished from way back. Which is? Break time.

For months, when I looked into their eyes all I saw were vile, hateful, and unwell wishes cast and gazed at me. In their teenage eyes, a couple of them had clouds of tears, and fountains of perspirations on their Temples, and I could well picture stress in their bones when I drilled them intensely.

Even outside the high school, when I encounter anyone of that select group I inculcated whatever I thought could go a long way. Titians clashed. I cared less and would make sure I drilled you while I haggled prices of yam in the market.

I saw myself as a Titian. And collectively, I saw them as one too. And all together we were a war. Unspoken war. And uncompensated.

These kids from Kaduna progressed and the changes were marked. I was elated in my heart and directed the joy to knacking 3 of their sisters. Call it compensation?

Well, lately I heard some Sad news from that State. Elrufai cut the school days from 5 to 4. Meaning? Kids from public schools stay at home every Friday.

A rear gem.

You still haven’t made any points
Even if we allow the fact that you said colonial masters influenced dominance of English language in the country.
The fact of the matter still remains the northerners still reject western education whether taught in their native dialect or not. And at this point it is to the detriment of the country as a whole.
Also by the way Putin, Macron, Zelensky and co speak good English amongst other international languages too. While Nigerians president only speaks Hausa fluently and English partially

So how come they gave statistics of how borno perform highest in 2021 waec examination

lilfresh96:
It's common here in the North

And even those that know how to speak English don't want to because they are shy or Alfred of being judged by their colleagues. It's so discouraging.

In the North Hausa language is considered as the lingua Franca. And it is degrading educational system

But you will find them to be very intelligent if you speak their language and reason with them

It's not degrading our educational system sir!

I can bet that if the textbooks in our various universities were translated in our dialect and we were also taught in our various dialect, you would have understood better and implement ideas better too.

This is what you find all over the world, books are written in indigenous languages.

But I noticed that in Nigeria and Africa the only book that was translated for us into our various dialect is the Bible.

That was were I got to understand that we actually mess up as a group of people and we were being punished for that.

Normal, Friday classes start by 9 and end by 11 when I was there... So it's almost the same as nor going at all

They could have gotten teachers from the other parts of Nigeria to boost their ill equipped teachers.

Are you for real ? Na wa o

Chibok girl’s writing waec that year could not speak English

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

Experienced this first hand teaching in a village in Nasarrawa State. I gave a test to write A-Z. Only about 5 out of about 25 could.

This is an SS1 class.

Imagine implementing ligua Franca in a country with indigenous tribes, it's not like these tribes migrated from somewhere else, they are indigenous to there land.

Don't you think it's a crime?

That's the people ATIKU IS BANKING ON TO VOTE FOR HIM PEOPLE WITHOUT SELF DECISION

Your last line is quite hilarious . Reading and writing is not exclusive to English language. If you were born into a Hausa or Igbo family and you are not learned, you'll still not be able to read or write in Igbo or Hausa language.
