heynew: If the above is enough to cheat and bribe for your child then i agree to would be parents taking a lesson in parental class and child upbringing before they can be allowed to keep their kids. Any parents who bribes for their kid has single handedly with out the devil's help messed their child up for a long time ! No child is a slow poke, kids who have been diagnosed with slow learning and muddling up their letters go on to become doctors FACT. For the Almighty's breathe in every human we all are great: help your child to find his greatness or bribe and further push his greatness into oblivion. such parents need the sharia koboko.  |

As far as am concern, there is no such thing as dull child, only the child that has not yet be discovered, Most parent have the mentality of "school only" examine your child, involve him or her in vocationary training, what he she can do practically. At least u can start from there.

Platnum!:majority of the parents that bribe for their kids are educated and influential. Most humble parents hardly have enough to pay for their kids school . |

Look do not blame a parent that bribed for their children. Blame Naija system for everything. If you would observe, you would find out that most of these parents do not bribe for common entrance exams because ordfinarily there kids would pass it. They do not also bribe for promotional exams for at the end of each academic year in the secondary school. Okay so the big question should be that WHY IS THE BRIBERY ISSUE PECULIAR TO ONLY JAMB AND WAEC? this and that parents have smartened their way thru for their kids and u are aware what they did but they kept it secret. Now their child is almost finishing in the university and ur own child is still battling with extra mural classes which u are paying a lot for. At the end on the day, the society would see their own child who is almost graduating as better than urs and that is why more and more are tempted into it. Who do u blame. Clean up the system and give the student good quality education, and be more reasonable with how waec and jambs are marked. then bribery would die naturally/ |

Anvaller: are there not kids whose parents did not bribe and who passed, We Nigerians are the system, our attitude is the system, mindset like yours is the system, the Queen of England is too busy too clean up our system for us we will need to clean it up ourselves. I once employed a school cert leaver and one day was discussing with him and he said though o passed my WAEC i was very ill at the time and i replied Wow!!! for you to have been ill and still managed to pass this well, You should be proud of you. Only for him to say No o , I was too ill to go to school so my mum asked my elder brother to sit for my exams for me albeit to say i made sure he never handled money again, His moral barometer was contaminated in my opinion. He said it with pride and i must admit he had the tendency to be daft and take short cuts.   |

I think that every parent needs to read Dr Ben Carson's classics; Gifted Hands and Think Big! There you'll see how the dumbest kid in the class turned out the best medical student and today, a renowned Neuo-Surgeon You can't raise your kids on 24hr television and expect them to pass WAEC or UME! Book kmnowledge is acquired by diligent study. Imagine if Ben's mum bribed teachers for his grades, he will never have amounted to anything! |

I would never do that. Like several people have already noted, the self esteem of that child would be crushed. Infact the truth is, the child has already failed, the parent is sending a message to the child that he doesn't believe in him. Having said that, there is an adage that says a lizard can only gain entrance to a house that has an opening somewhere, people who cheat are not being punished. A law not enforced is equal to 'NO LAW' and where there are no laws, there are no crimes. That's my opinion about these rampant exam malpractices we have been plagued with. Finally some unfair employment practices can contribute to the desperation to pass exams at all cost and on time, I know that developed countries have a law against employment discrimination based on age. We don't have that in 9ja rather coys openly advertise that they'll only employ fresh grads below a certain age. An evil minded parent can latch on this and say I need to make sure my child finishes school on time. I posit that no parent should engage in such despicable behavior and at d same time, the authorities should enforce laws that can curb this malpractice while also ensuring fairness in the society. |

Nigeria is just creating bundles of cretins like LoveKing, premechaz, JUO, eggo, tuto, Pennywise, LesbianBoy, leggoo and komek. We need to take people like these to the woods, put a bullet in their heads and build a new nation. |

May GOD forbid it, my parents NEVER did it, why should I? All these folks on here saying they will do, you are setting a dangerous precedent for your kids; sooner or later you will reap what you have sown. You cannot sow bribery into a child's life and expect to reap blessings in the future; the child will follow after the parents footsteps and once they cannot get it, don't be alarmed at what happens next. Rather than you corrupt parents sow such seed of bribery into the child's life, how about you enrolling the child into intensive learning exercise? Bribery is the underlying core of corruption. We blame politicians at the national level, yet, at the grass root level, corruption is taking a different phase. What makes you any different that the speaker of the house yall blamed that time for corruption? Whatever his name is. |

Do not be surprised that some of the parents will not buy textbooks for their children, yet they will find money to bribe for them to pass. Others do not have the time to help or encourage their children to do their homework, yet they will find time to seek out someone to bribe for their child to pass. From morning till night, kids are watching movies and yet their delinquent parents expect them to pass. There is no parental upbringing as most kids are solely responsible for their own upbringing. Most of what our kids know today are things they learn from other kids or on TV or other media. The few things they learn from us are often negative like bribing, lying, making trouble with neighbours, gossiping, etc. Some people are talking about the Nigerian system. Who created the system? Is it not the same delinquent Nigerian parents like [size=20pt]You[/size]? Politicians, Ministers, Law makers, Commissioners, WAEC/NECO staff, lecturers are they not mostly parents? That is why there are no jobs, no power, bad roads, broken down refineries, hunger, and insecurity. The funny thing is that some of us are expecting that things will get better in future. If the current crop of leaders who went to school when there was some little sanity in the Education system cannot fix Nigeria, is it the bunch of cretins that we are pushing through school that will fix it? That is why I encourage parents and kids who still believe in the power of knowledge. They should not be deterred as I foresee a future in Nigeria where there will be so many cretins and olodos that the few who patiently apply themselves to acquiring relevant knowledge will become like [size=24pt]Gods[/size] (in hot demand). We must begin to think about the consequences of our actions on our future. You can not cheat nature, you can only cheat yourself, for [size=16pt]whatever you sow you shall reap[/size]. |

One thing some Nigerian parents fail to realize is that WAEC/JAMB is the least of the many exams kids have to pass in life. If you're already bribing to have your child pass JAMB/WAEC, what are you going to do when they finally graduate and have to compete in the work place? I am yet to see any exam that can't be passed with patience and consistent diligence if the child's foundation is solid. I would NEVER bribe for my child to pass. Instead, I'll use the opportunity to teach that child the importance of hard work and patience. |

Nigeria is corrupt. What happens in situations where one gets his Jamb result and "Absent" is recorded on it even though he sat for the exam?  |
| Re: Would You Pay Bribe For Your Child To Pass Exams? by ifyalways(f): 10:09am On Aug 29, 2011 |
jennykadry:Gbam.How do you rectify that?Go to court,due process or pay something and get your kid going? Who does not offer bribe or collect Bribe in Nigeria ? The name might change(tips,kola,greeting,envelope,Ghana-must-go,airline ticket,landed property,car,etc) but the motive remains same . . in exchange for something, to gain favor,to jump queue,to bypass due process,to avoid long tori and stress. Na ghosts dey pay for Jamb/GCE special centers? What about "desk/table fees" collected at every exam center? Drinks for the external invigilator/examiner nko? @Topic,Ideally I would not pay or offer anyone cash or kind bribe for my kids education but I won't cos of a desperate and hungry m.oron somewhere gamble with my child's future. |

^^^^ It actually happened to me not a "He". I cried like crazy. I left high school very early all thanx to the double promotions I received in primary school. My father dropped me off at one school in OJO lagos, sat under a tree very close to the building where I sat for the exam and waited for me to finish. I remember him buying me pure water and begging my invigilator to give it to me before I die of Hyperthermia . After writing this exam, I was so excited then cos I was looking forward to going to unilag(2nd choice) or uniben(1st choice), only for the result to come out then with " ABSENT , CANDIDATE DID NOT SIT FOR THE EXAM". My old man and I went to Jamb office, for where? they kept insisting that I did not show up in the exam center. The wahala was too much, the waka we wakad for this case no be small one. Na after the waka my parents decided to send me elsewhere for studies. The fact that most parents bribe people for their kids to pass does not mean that child is dumb and silly. Nigeria is a very terrible country. You cannot take a step without dropping something for some people. Just for me to collect my statement of academic record from WAEC was hell and I had only a few days to submit it in the embassy. Make una no judge abeg, I have been there and know what it is like. |

Sagamite, a lot of people's good results are given to other people's dumb kids. A science student will write an exam and at the end of the day receive the result of a commercial student with the science's name student on it. The most important thing is finding out why the parents paid the bribe in the first place. Some parents do not pay for their kids to pass exams because their kids are dumb, they pay because they know that, that's the only way their child is able to move on to the next level academically. |
| Re: Would You Pay Bribe For Your Child To Pass Exams? by Sagamite(m): 11:20am On Aug 29, 2011 |
jennykadry: The question on this thread is will you pay for a child to pass an exam. Basically will you pay if they are dumb or have not made an effort or have not been prepared well. Don't let us creep into other spheres. AjanleKoko: Oga, I am sure you are aware that is the result of our culture of cheating. That is why I complain when the state is cheating egregiously in age-grade football using players even the citizens know are outrageously above the age limit and we all celebrate these cheats and give them national honours. I am not sure because of your technical background if you have ever heard of this thing call Cultural Web, but I wouldn't be surprised if you have. The cultural web is a framework that highlights how cultures are developed and Nigeria fails in it if I applied it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_web#Factors_and_elements [img]http://3.bp..com/-DhUdyGLnrFQ/TbG8JIMfGcI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/hw2vzwPakJA/s1600/image023.png[/img] Our Stories and Myths are of yahoo yahoo boys and over-aged "world champions", that is what we teach people to value. Our Symbols are of people of questionable source of wealth who possess expensive cars and houses. Our Rituals and Routines are to do very little but expect to be rewarded BIG TIME. Our Control Systems are incompetent or there to exploit the populace or to be exploited by the populace at the detriment of the nation. |
