i remember my mum and dad telling me that if i didnt pass my WAEC exams at 1 sitting, that they were going to send me to be the apprentice of a mechanic. i read like my life depended on it cos i didnt want to be a mechanic. looking back now, i can see that they were not really serious and just wanted me to buckle up, but i believed their threat and passed my exams in 1 sitting.

i wonder what is the way foward for parents these days cos such threats would not work with kids of these days

Are you guys kidding me?
All you people blabbing about PS3, DSTV and home videos have got to be out of your minds. A huge number of those who failed cannot afford such luxuries. And even those who can, efficient parenting can easily eliminate too much distraction.
There's a critical flaw in our educational system, there are critical gaps in parenting these days and there are motivation related issues with many of these kids.

I thought they started NECO because they said WAEC was very difficult and many people failed?
Now they are failing NECO too? They should get another one, NECOling that will be easier.

Instead of tackling the decadence in education they are busy looking for a cheap way out.

Here we are!!!!!!!!!!!

olas2u:
It will really be so painful

OlowoTee:
these days, there are so many distractions for these young people, and strictly speaking who are we to blame them for the mass failure in WAEC/NECO exams? Distractions in the home, , especially on TV screen we've got Maltina Family Dance Hall, Naija Sings, Great Talent Hunt Show, Who want to be a Millionaire, Project Fame, Peak Talent Show, West African Idol, Nigeria Idol etc. (all promoting music!) [s]as if music is the only talent that we've got in here!!![/s]. I tell you most of these programs are not helpful,

SHEAU:
It just occur to me as a message this morning that IBB may be killed by hamg!!g

~Bluetooth:
I remembered those days when the front of our exercise books used to have inscription like '' scholars,exercise books and many other motivational captions'' but these days,what you see are pictures of paloma and diego,terry G,Timaya,Aki and paw-paw,Drogba,Rooney etc.how would these children learn when they are surrounded by bad influence.

I think failure to have at least 4 credits should attract death penalty.

THE National Examination Council (NECO), on Monday, released the results of the June/July Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE), which showed another poor performance by candidates that sat for the examination.

While a total of 1,143, 169 candidates registered for the examination, 1,132,357 actually sat for the examination.

A breakdown of the results showed that only 244,456 candidates passed English Language at credit level while 279,974 passed Mathematics.

Forty-three per cent of the number of candidates that sat for the examination passed at credit level in Biology, just as 29.49 per cent attained the same level in Physics and 36.18 per cent in Chemistry.

The analysis also showed that apart from Financial Accounting and Music, in which 40 per cent of the candidates recorded credit level passes, credit passes in other subjects were below 40 per cent.

The implication of the results, according to education experts, is that by virtue of the results released, over 60 per cent of the 1,132,357 candidates that sat for the examination would not gain admission to any Nigerian university.

Registrar and Chief Executive Officer of NECO, Professor Promise Okpala, who announced the release of the results but declined to give a summary of the outcome, described the results as fair, but said it was not the responsibility of the body to determine candidates that would gain admission into universities.

Okpala said that the level of malpractices had also reduced as only 615,010 cases were recorded, adding that Ekiti, Rivers, Kaduna, Enugu and Nasarawa states topped the list.

The registrar advised candidates that sat for the examination to check their results on the examination body’s website, using the scratch card and examination numbers used for registration and the examination.[/size] [/b]

WTF is up with these religious nutjobs? False Prophets!

Religion is the bane of Nigeria. I say. . . These so called religious people are buffoons. Both Christians and Muslims.

THE Provisional Apostle of the Eternal Sacred Order of Cherubim and Seraphim Church, Awka, Anambra State, Prophet Elisha Aseigbu, on Monday, called for inter-faith prayers to avert the death of President Goodluck Jonathan.

The cleric said the tragedy might occur before or after the 2011 general election through a plane crash.

Prophet Aseigbu said the death of President Jonathan had already been planned to äppear as a plane crash, adding that a suicide pilot had already offered to die in the crash to execute the plot.

He told reporters that Christians and Muslims should pray fervently to forestall the impending national tragedy.

According to him, “during prayer on Friday, last week, a day before the president made a formal declaration to contest the 2011 presidential election, I got a message which said Nigerians should pray against a serious plane crash.

“That accident is mainly directed to the president and if it happens, people will see it as a plane crash.

“The plane crash is planned by some people and Nigerians should pray that the president should be very careful with the workers in Aso Rock and those around him.”

He advised the president to “look into our airports and monitor what is going on there, especially the presidential wing of the airport and the presidential jet.”[/b]
