She may be going through a hormonal crises probably due to contraceptives she was taking in Dubai. It makes women put on weight.

If you don't Gerrit, for Gerrit!

At her age, she doesn't need contraceptives.

Most likely, she is suffering from renal issues.

Are there non Yorubas in state house of assemblies ? Are there non Yoruba ministers in state governments ? Can you buy land and build without anyone harassing you in the south west . What kind of acceptance do you want again ? You can marry a Yoruba lady . You can run your business . You can vote. I don’t understand what you mean by “never accepted “

It is good for teaching . The research is there .

The answer is no to your first three questions.

The psychedelic experience

A lot of people here were taught French in primary school. Imagine you started secondary school and now all your studies are in the French language. Do you think you would cope well?

That's exactly how it would be if you educate a child in primary school with Igbira and then in secondary school, the child has to learn in English.

Simply put, unless you are going to pick one language (like in China) and use it from primary till university, this policy would have way more disadvantages than advantages.

What's more, they already do this in the North. You can listen to your president speak to tell you all you need to know about the success of the policy.

Once again, the mother tongue should be learned at home. Don't handicap people in a global marketplace of ideas. Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Nupe are not global languages. No shame in admitting that.

You are a moronic cretin.

On your brighest day, you are not as bright as one enzyme in my spit that landed in a gutter.

Sorry, the paucity of variation in your diction reflects many things but certainly not intelligence or brightness. Your vacuous thoughts on this forum tell every discerning observer what they need to know: that an idiot is easy to spot and that regardless of how many times you use the word "cretin" there is no better exemplar of the term than you.

Sagamite:
You are a moooronic cretiin!

What stuupid questions are these?

Are these the answers to the questions you were asked?

I will ask your dumbass again:

What is the relevance of how many languages are in Scandinavia?

What "discussions" will primary school students be having beyond their primary school friends?

They would be going for state conferences for discussions?

In your thick head you think because they say the language of instruction will be in a local language that means English will not be taught at primary schools?

The number of languages in Scandinavia is important because it explains why a policy may be good for them but not good for Nigeria which has over 200 languages.

You may not be well travelled in Nigeria and as such may be forgiven for your ignorance on the topic. In the south south states of Edo and Delta, there are close to 20 languages in each state with neighbouring villages sometimes having very different languages.

People change locations sometimes and having children relearn in different languages will not be ideal.

Simply put, you cannot compare Sweden or Denmark to Nigeria. Those countries have one language and years of linguistic development to support such a policy. Nigeria did not choose to use English as a language of instruction for early instruction by accident. It was a deliberate choice borne out of the peculiarities of the country.

Many primary schools in the Northern part of Nigeria use Hausa as a language of instruction. We can see the outcome in the poor performance of many of these students in competitive examinations. We can also see it in their inability to be fluent in the general lingua franca because of the poor foundation.

Of course, a great deal of introspection is necessary to understand my points and if it misses you, I would not be surprised. You have often manifested a dearth of intelligence.

If you had an IQ in the triple digits, you will not be asking these asinine questions and if you still fail to understand these points, you would have confirmed what I have always known you to be.

Sagamite:
What a fooolish statement!

You have a well known propensity for being stupid but i will oblige you. So you think if English is the language of instruction means that your "mother tongue" will not be taught in primary schools? You are having this discussion in English, why not resort to your mother tongue?

Starting children in local languages would affect them later in academic life. We see a lot of Nigerian politicians engaging in code switching and other forms of poor communication when speaking and one big reason for this is their early training in their mother tongue.

The world is global now and this faux patriotism or "Proud Nigerian" nonsense is not going to help you. One would have expected you to have a Yoruba username given that you are so overjoyed with your "mother tongue".

Sagamite:
There are actually two options:

1) Make local languages the compulsory languages of instruction.

2) Make it compulsory that each kid (raised in Nigeria) must pass a primary school exam in a local Nigerian language to progress or gain entry into any secondary school in Nigeria.

The second one might even be a better policy in my view. That would provide some sense of equity for those not living in their native land but simultaneously force useless parents to speak their mother tongue to their kids; otherwise they would be funding private lessons for 1 or 2 years, after primary school, for their kid(s) to learn a local language before being able to progress to secondary school.

By force, by force, we go remove that colomentality.

Look at P-Square and go check their children's names. Serious colomentality.

The flaw here is that you think fluency in a language can only be achieved by compulsion when it is clear that children assimilate languages without even trying. You don't need to make Yoruba compulsory for a child growing up in Akure to understand it. There is also no indication whatsoever that teaching a child in Yoruba would make the child get better basic education.

Also, Nigeria is a multilingual country, something which is lost on many people. In my mother's local government, there are over 7 languages. A common language has to be the language of instruction to ensure uniformity. Nigeria is not Sweden with one language that has years of linguistic development behind it.

The policy is hinged on the usual faux patriotism. English is a global language and the earlier Nigerians start learning it the better. China, with its technological might, values ESL (English as a second language) teachers as much as engineers.

blaise26abj:
Nothing bad in allowing your child to learn the predominant language of your host community . Most Igbo kids that grew up in the south west can speak Yoruba fluently .
It is actually a great move if well implemented . In terms of integration of the country and ability of students to understand better what they are taught .
I see it as a baby step towards removal of state of origin and having state of residence .

Your last line is a lie.

I was born in a South West town and it is written in my birth certificate but I will never be accepted there no matter how fluent I am in Yoruba. That's Nigeria.

Also, Yoruba language didn't need to be compulsory before I became fluent in it.

The problem with Nigeria is the reliance on orders and compulsions for their policies. An Igbo family in Bariga will find that their children can speak Yoruba and Pidgin without needing any formal instruction.

Sagamite:
Continue talking nonsense.

Do you "perfectly" speak your mother tongue?

Scandinavian people are taught in school, their whole lives, with their mother tongue from early life, they are far better than you in speaking English and have a better future than you have. You can't compete with them.

How many languages are in Scandinavia?

You guys talk rubbish without considering the peculiarities of your country. Edo state alone has close to 20 languages. If you were typing your missives in your mother tongue, would I be able to have a discussion with you?

Stupid policy.

What is the dominant mother tongue in the community?

Akoko Edo LGA in Edo state, just one local government, has 7 languages. Do the same for communities all over Nigeria and you are running into over 150 languages and dialects.

Then several years later, these pupils will not be able to understand a global language like English, leading to poor competitiveness in the global marketplace.

The Chinese are paying huge sums to learn English and here is Nigeria wanting to destroy a good advantage by making a nonsense policy that is not backed by any research.

People can learn their mother tongue at home. Get them started with global languages the moment they start formal education. In addition, make French compulsory as well given that we are enveloped by French speaking countries.

All this faux patriotism will not help anyone. Well, what kind of educational policies do you expect with an Adamu Adamu as Minister?

You are ignorant.

The person in question was born in that country and is not from elsewhere. It's like saying Kanye West is from somewhere else because he is in black. It is sheer idiocy to argue as you have been arguing

Okonandmary:
you can see how you are contradicting your self.

Where is the contradiction?

Lots of idiots in the front page. And that's why Nigeria will never be peaceful. Someone who was born in the UK and you are saying she should have said where she is from? Really? That's like asking 50 cent which African country he really is from.

No wonder some idiots will say Lagos is their land even though they were born in Arakeji, Osun state just because they speak the same language with the original inhabitants of Lagos. And they will call someone who was born and bred in Festac, Lagos a foreigner because his name is Ikechukwu.

So much idiocy in this country, almost drives me to tears.

Idiots getting married

If it's not stupidity, why did you get married after 4 kids and even had two extra ones.

Numbskull.

Even the mere act of becoming an embryo is luck. Out of millions of sperm, one fused with the ovum. So everyone here already won a lottery.

The south east and selling of children.

Opposing position? People like you are easily deceived.

Lol.

Another delusional fellow

Mikel, one of the useless Captains, who made Messi to win some undeserved award. Every year, regardless of performance, Mikel always voted Messi.

This is why I don't really put much stock in those awards. Most of the time the voters don't consider performance in making their choice, just personal preference. If Mikel was still a voter last year, he would have still voted Messi despite Messi's shambolic season.

A journalist once voted TAA, Van Dijk and Salah as his choices during 2019 balon d'or. No prizes for guessing which club the journalist supports.

BluntCrazeMan:
I will go straight to the point.
..
..

1. At earliest stages (Nursery, and Early Basic Stages), pupils should be tested with examinations that ascertain their motor skills, and every other basic skills and basic abilities..

2. At mid stages (Basic Classes, and Junior Collage Classes), The students should be tested with examinations that dwell more on ascertaining the strength of their retentive memories.

(2b. Then, at Senior Collage, the students should be gradually introduced to “knowledge-based examinations”, which test the residual and acquired knowledge of the students on the subject, and not necessarily what the students remember. Thus, the exams should be in forms that allow and encourage the students to give their answers in their very own words, and not necessarily the way it was presented inside the textbooks.. In fact, anybody who presents an answer similar to what was contained inside the textbooks shouldn't have any score.)

3. At later stages (Higher Institutions), the students should be tested with examinations that ascertain the “Applied Knowledge” of the students (Starting from their First Year in the Institutions). This type of examination is known as “Application-based Examination”, and it tests the “Problem-Solving Skills” of the students.
At this stage, examinations should be more of “solving” real-life situations, and the students are even allowed to use textbooks if they wish - because the answers are not even inside the textbooks to start with - the answers to such examinations are in the internal ability of the students to apply their knowledge.
For Instance, an examination that contains a “problem” that was well described, and the students were required to provide a solution to the problem based on their knowledge of the subject in question - is an “Application-based Examination”.
Thus, no two answers are supposed to be the same.

***WITH ALL THESE SAID...
Nobody can leave the Higher Institutions of learning, and still be feeling like he has absolutely nothing inside him.


It pains me deeply whenever I see University Examination Papers with Objective Questions, and such examinations would be expecting the so-called University Students to fill in the gaps or blank-spaces with the required missing words or phrases or sentences..
Meaning that, they are still testing the retentive memories of such students of higher institutions??

It even pains more when one sees a so-called “graduate” of a higher institution of learning, who doesn't even know the practicability of the course he read and graduated from.

You are not an educational specialist, that's why you made those misconceptions in your post.

Objective or multiple choice questions are useful at almost any level. Do you not ask yourself why they are used in every standardised examination?

Foolishness.

How does the denomination of the note affect the value? There is a 500 euro note and a 1000 CHF note, has that caused inflation in the euro zone or Switzerland.

Emefiele will be giving market woman analysis because he knows many Nigerian illiterates would believe him. Tufiakwa.

Before Elon Musk the staff strength is dominated by the female but now with Musk it is male dominated work force. I think there should be near gender balance.

He asked who wants to work hard and the women quit.

He also fired a lot of people in useless positions.

A lot of those women were diversity hires anyway. He can't pay 44 billion for Twitter and not cut out some fat.

Lebanon is loading! If you think you're smart by keeping Dollar in your Dom account and withdraw to sell high to Aboki, you economic saboteurs will suffer. Las laa, na Naira you go collect for your Dollar.

Yeah and the people in Lebanon are happy, abi?

Oponu.

Lebanon's government reversed decades of economic progress by seizing people's accounts and you are referencing them like it was a great decision.

zanebaddo:
I thought about this not too long ago. I was telling myself that soon they gonna ask banks not to allow people withdraw dollar meaning thier money will be converted to naira and be paid at official rate.

If this is done, the economy would be ruined and all foreign investors will leave. Nigeria would also be sued and the judgment amounts would bankrupt the country.

Simply put, the government cannot do such.

What does the story require?

Have you watched any movie or TV series about Pablo Escobar? Why do they select actors that have similar body structure to him?

BATified2023:
This one thinks it’s all those over hyped bullshit he’s always dishing out to his mumu fans

Jim iyke will kill it just like a poster above said

Jim Iyke finds it difficult to speak pidgin let alone Yoruba. It will also be difficult for Jim Iyke to look like the overweight fool that Hushpuppi was. No, Jim Iyke won't be a good fit.

danoloworo:
When Hushpuppi gets out of prison, he better write a book and profit off it.

Cap the book at $20 and sell a million copies, that's 20 million dollars hommie.


He gonna be rich as Bleep !!!

Funds will be seized.

He still has money to pay to victims.

This is a sign that Tinubu would probably win. The more gaffes you make as a Nigerian contestant, the more likely you are to win.

Case in point: Buhari.
