I understand that death marks the end of a person's life and had seen that dead people are only remembered for what they did while alive. Curiously, I had seen some prominent icons whose birthday anniversaries still keep being celebrated long after they are gone. The most recent is the November 16th Achebe birthday anniversary. Please, what do you think is the origin of post-humus birthdays?

So, politicians now have such 'respect' for traditional rulers? What do you make of this picture showing 'humble' former Vice President Atiku Abubakar sitting on the floor in Emir Sanusi's palace?

Minister of Education, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau, in a keynote address at the 60th National Council of Education has identified lack of skilled Mathematics and English Language teachers as one of the reasons why pupils performed woefully in 2014 West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examinations.

Of the 1.7million candidates who sat for this year’s WASSCE, only 529,425 obtained credits in five subjects and above, including English Language and Mathematics, The Punch reports.

This implies that about one million pupils will not secure university admission in the country this year.

“There is no doubt that we have several challenges, among them, the non-availability of skilled teachers of Mathematics and English Language.

“As part of the efforts to support quality education outcome, the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council has introduced e-curriculum, which I inaugurated in September. It would ensure that teachers, learners and other relevant stakeholders have easy online access to the prescribed national curriculum in all subjects," he said.
