Talking about anioma and porthacourt state, is that feasible ? and then we ought to care about our delta area brothers cause what affects them as our neighbours might indirectly affects us too. What do you think ? yeah the would be feasible or anioma might be merged with vibrant anambra while pH will be merged to abia. in this country every tribe is on his own just as the I jaws made us know. the greater Igbo have been fighting for the betterment of the old eastern region but some groups in our region have been sabotaging this effort I might be in south south but region don't make people ethnicity do. do you know that the Igbo properties seized in pH was done by the I jaws after the war there is nothing the ss can do because some of us enjoys sabotaging the other. this is Nigeria and the minorio are always the pawns in every political game. look at the kanuri Minority in born as a case study |

You are not the first person to serve in this part of the country and complain the same way. I once met a lady, serving NYSC member whose admission year to her university was the same with my niece. At that time my niece was in 300level so I asked how come she could serve that fast from IMSU I think taking cognizance of the fact that there were many nationwide ASUU strike at the time which affected all schools. To my amazement, she said they usually would resume to write exam once any strike action was over in order to keep pace with the school calender.I was shocked! That is not the type of graduate I want in my office, its a no no to me. My friends that served in Anambra complained on worse scenario and most of the moneybags guys there just pay to pass SSCE.
Don't get me wrong exam malpractice is widespread in Nigeria but the extent is more in that part of Nigeria that if it should be copied elsewhere virtually all will be making five credits.
I often laugh when guys cone here to post how their states or region is leading in education or results etc, when the time comes, you will see the result.
I will advise government and examination bodies need to pay serious attention to how exams are conducted, but when principals and teachers are seriously involved, what else can you say? I just don't under so the problem you guys. you can't just say that malpractice is more in this side of the country when you have no Fact to back it up. my cousins have served in the western part of the country and they also experience bad and wrong things with their educational systems. there was this my guy that travelled to Ogun to write his wassce in a remote part of ogun. he told me that when the exam paper is served some of the students takes their scripts outside the examination hall to the back of the school were mercenaries write the exam for them and the invigilator will do nothing because he has been bribed with huge cash. I have also heard many things about western states from many people but I won't just come to the internet because they are doing educationally great than us. when you guys were leading we took it in good faith so just do the same for us. you guys need to understand that u can't lead for ever so just accept that. |

I came across a media shocker few weeks ago, maybe it was a shocker to me because I had an on-the-spot assessment or because I truly knew what happened as to what the media reported. I need to say that our media has lost focus entirely; the days of investigative journalism are almost forgotten. Journalists take stories and report hook, line and sinker without cross-checking facts. Facts are sacred and they must be sought out since they do not appear on the surface, you dig them out.
The shocker was “South East Leads Again in WASSCE Exams” and most ridiculously Abia state was leading the chart. I gasped for seconds when I saw the news but quickly recovered myself.
Brief History
I was posted to Abia state and reported to duty on the hills of Umunna Bende around Ohafia LG, camp opened on August 5, 2014, after the usual rigor, we were posted out to our PPAs. I was posted to a secondary school in Umuahia north; Umuahia north housed the state house, assembly complex and the capital itself, Umuahia north was supposed to be the best part of Abia. I resumed teaching after the Ebola break from the Federal Government was over. I was supposed to take Economics. Quickly for fact checkers, Umuahia north has schools like Ibeku High school, Government Gollege Umuahia, Holy Rosary Secondary school, Williams Memorial Secondary school, among others. I taught Economics in One of these schools. When I resumed and the Dean of studies saw my grade and school, he said I was going to take SS2 and SS3 Economics. I asked if there was no Economics teacher in the school. He smiled and said there is but I would take the two classes. When I met the supposed Economics teacher and we talked for a while I understood why the man smiled. He was better off as Home economics teacher.
Fast forward to teaching my students Economics, I saw exceptionally dumb students with pride in SS3, I had to routinely take the ones in SS2 some maths topics before I introduced some concepts in Economics to them. The same students had the highest credits in WASSCE with Mathematics and English. These was the same time that T.A Orji (Most Useless Governor apart from Fayose) was owing teachers salary for months and arrears for years, I was shocked because I saw the teachers come to school a times once or twice a week since they were being owed salaries, so they had to do other jobs, so who taught these students to such outstanding performance in WASSCE? How can teachers not be adequately trained and taken care of, and their students come out in flying colours. I am beginning to think if this is what obtains in Abia and they still come out tops, then the same exists in other South Eastern states. I was around when the NECO and WAEC exams were taken, I was surprised. From Principal to Vice principal to school gatemen; they were partners in exam malpractice. I saw bogus arrangement of exam malpractice I hadn’t seen before in my life. The students begged me to come on the day they had Economics but I declined. I asked a serious student about what obtained on that day, it was super malpractice. I was in school on days they offered subjects like Maths, English and Physics and I tell you it was horrendous. Those guys are shameless. It was pathetic. I saw the VP (Academics) giving expo to his daughters that were writing the exams. If I decide to write down the length and breadth of exam malpractice I saw on that day. I would bore you.
Whenever I teach the SS3 students and I ask a question, they would reply in Igbo until I shut them up and tell them to speak in English, and these are the same guys that had credits in English language. I dey laff.
They would gladly tell you that they can’t wait to get done with school and go into business (with the exception of a few who were serious, say 30 percent). They love cutting grasses that staying in classes, they would gladly jump out to play football matches when they are supposed to be in class. They lacked content, no functional laboratories, the libraries are non existent, the teachers more concerned with their business outside and holding staff meetings where they talk about farm lands allotted to them and how another teacher was stealing their crop. At a point I stopped attending the meetings. I had an encounter with a Professor at ABSU (Abia State University), which is the best University in Abia, this man can’t stand me if we were to meet at a paper presentation. You are supposed to meet Professors and see a repository of knowledge, an avalanche of information, but it was the opposite. In fact check out the ranking of ABSU in Nigeria’s University index. You will laff. When I visited MOUAU, it wasn’t different. The students were not better than my SS3 students. If South west should be worried, then South east is doomed. Education reflects, it shows, it is tenable in what you do and how you do what you do. How can you claim to always have the highest number of credits in the country when those credits translate to producing fake Aba shoes or a disjointed opinion of reality. I remember speaking to a lecturer at ABSU about why Buhari has my support before the elections took place, he said Buffon Goodluck Jonathan was the best man. I asked why and told him to state one thing that he has enjoyed from GEJ, after he bowed his head he said well although he hasn’t gained anything from GEJ but Buhari has an Islamist Agenda and he is not suitable for the job. Look at that line of thought. Shallow, myopic and that was the norm there I tell you. Sentiments, not Superior arguments. Most of my Corp mates were handling subjects as Physics, Maths, Chem, Biology because they virtually had no qualified teacher in this subjects and yet they had credits. I dey laff.
Education is supposed to be a means to an end, how can you tell us you won a match when the referee was your team coach, stop deceiving yourselves with high credits that do not transmit to University achievement. Anybody can cross check these facts; I challenge the media, WAEC (Nigeria) and concerned bodies on vetting these claims. I just had to do these to straighten the records. If I hadn’t served in Abia, I would have believed these lies too. Abia state and South east should do some home checking, deceit would only injure their generation in the long run.
I typed this quite fast, so some errors might be inherent. Pls ignore.
Cheers. Playdude. the problem with you guys is jealousy. that you had such experience (assuming it is true) with few schools should not make you generalise all the schools in abia. even such things can be experience in any state. the south west s state started from 6th position. if truely that the abia state and South east students are not bright academically why do the achieve great feats in overseas? why do south east have the greatest cut off mark for federal unity schools? and if you can't tell me why south east is leading in federal unity schools and attaining their mdg goals and making best grades internationally mandarin:

Niger Delta Leaders are the problem of this our region.
-look at bayelsa, a state with just 8 local govt. Has been receiving up to over 6billion naira monthly as allocation, what have their governor done with it?
- another factor is the "OUR OIL" lazy mentality that have caged many ND youths.
- Niger Delta have been used and about to be dumbed, anyone waiting for FG to clean up enviromental pollution in his/her area is living in delusion.
Clean Water is like a costly asset to many Bayelsa communities that I visited.. We got to a place that Cold pure water is #30 while warm one is #20.
- I am happy that my Delta North(Anioma) shifted our attention to Education and Human capital.
Our land is not polluted, We don't have time for OUR OIL Nonsense! yeah that is the true emblem of the Igbo nation " HUMAN CAPITAL" Ugomba:

I don't care for any Niger delta region. when the going gets tough I believe we will merge with other Igbo vibrant states that have well developed human capital and resourceful,creative population and we will keep going. though development is encroaching into my area(obigbo) but my regret is that since we were carved into rivers state our oil mentality has beclouded most of our youths and the are not as hard working as our ndoki brothers in abia state. come to aba and see how our brothers in abia is hustling and majority of their population are educated.
with time due to the dwindling oil price I believe that the politics of, and the political influence of our region will be no more(the bitter truth) but that will be a blessing in disguise for the Igbo people of south south because anioma and porthacourt state will be created and annexed back into south east and then we will drop our lazy mentality and embrace what the Igbo nation is known for "RESOURCEFULNESS" just like I have always said "the resources of the Igbo nation is her HUMAN RESOURCES" well, I still pity the other minorities in our region whose lands have been grossly polluted. |

I mean men, those guys have been done with the law of Gravity.
It has reached its crescendo and its coming down.
The fact that guy begins to preach violence against my people ensured he'll never get its heart desires.
Fighting an accommodating friend who do not wished you evil but whom you wished so much evil is antithetical to inviting GOD'S wroth.
The day IPOBIANS decided to go against Yoruba's, I knew they've signed their will.
Though calm, they are known to be more smarter and can wreck havoc on their enemies yet with the least violent route.
Their page is very scanty. Those still commenting are not even in Nigeria but overseas.
I even heard they now use cables and its not affordable by all.
An IPOBIAN WILL ask why I know much?
Well, its much more wise to learn more about your sworn enemies than your friends.
IPOBIANS have tagged themselves enemies and I shall endeavor to bring them down with others!
Till they leave Yoruba's out of their hates, I will deplore all means to bring down those miscreants.
They chose the wrong tribe to fight. We shall ensure they are blackmailed, destroyed, routed and blacklisted throughout the whole world.
As for my Igbo brothers, it shall be well with you all. abeg stop beating your dry chest. who do you think you are? do you think that this is the 1990s when your "conical" tribe had monopoly over the media? abeg park well |
