Eyeah, d tin dey pain me, see as pesin papa dey mumu, cum 2 tink of it, evn d name sounds barbaric (ATIKU), receive sense sir

lemmme not insult you, cos i respect elders, buh you as a leader has contributed to the decline of our educational sector, rubbish talk from you! if you wanted its improvement you would have done something about it. Nonsense! this man just made me angry

Hmmm..... why say all that and his university is named American University of Nigeria?

EreluY:
[size=16pt]I carefully read what Atiku reportedly said. Whilst I neither love nor loathe him, I totally agree with everything he reportedly said. Most Nigerian university graduates are certificated but uneducated. To cite an example, the other day, the HOD of English at Uni Ilorin, one Dr Idiagbon, responded in a video recording to allegations of sexual misconduct. It's hard to believe that guy was HOD English. Besides, many Nigerian university graduates lack critical thinking and logical reasoning. I've written here in the past about shoddy publications of Nigerian university lecturers and professors - the quality is simply abysmal.[/size]

While some of the points you made are accurate, mastery of english language should not be an expectation for a non english person. Those who attain expertise in its usage should not be ranked above those who struggle to communicate in it. In other words, we need a new lingua for mainstream communication, one through which we find comfort and true expression for the range of emotions and impulses in our spirits. English language comes short for full expression of our emotions through the tongue.

Moreover, those who saw private schools as cash cow were instrumental and made it possible for total cannibalization of public schools. By decreasing the odds of failure in public schools they increased the odds of success in their for-profit schools and we ended with a very wide gap, a differentiator that has now become an involuntary tool for oppressing and eliminating poor children from secured future.

Must you start the tribal war? How is your comment related to the insult that the rich, senseless and power hungry VP passed on the common man?

You can imagine how they have succeeded in dividing us and still trample upon us with their ill gotten wealth

BjDreamchaser:
“I was in the University of Zik in Akwa in Anambra State on Wednesday on the invitation of the university. There is no student in public UNIVERSITIES that can speak English in an error-free manner like the head boy of my secondary, who just finished addressing us now.


Watch as the Ipob youth would blast Atiku for the above statement. Confused set of people.

Take note of the word in capital letters.
You lack comprehension skills.

Atiku just made me understand he is a coward for his statement, what has he done or what did he do when he was the vice president to improve the education sector.

What an irony! our politicians will never cease to amuse us! they stole public funds and invest in private business and then turn around to insult us.
What a country! the same public school that Atiku attended and became Vice President for 8 years. What impact did Atiku add to our Education Sector as VP.

Repping my secondary school

SirJeffry:
Maybe he was referring to some Northern Universities where they teach Accountancy students with Hausa language.

God bless you!

I don't blame Atiku. Only d boy & his teachers knew hw long it tuk dem 2 deliver d speech. Lyk say na IMPROMPTU.....mtchewwwww!

If u had an atom of sense,am sure u know what an atom is, den u'll be able to easily spot a typographical error.

The money spent on sending u to school should have been invested n MMM, that's a better return on investment.

God bless you! Atiku himself is an illiterate.

Silumi:

arrhh my brother u stole d words from my mouth like imagine the insult..

Ahh, it's terrible, there's nothing we wouldn't c n dz country..... It's because we have decided to be slaves n our very own country, nobody is talking, everyone is silent afraid of his head. In those days u can't go to a tertiary institution n d presence of students and make such comments.... They will stone him. But this is what we have been reduced to by our politicians

Churchillsaug:
ur English na die

Yours isn't better either... This is the message I have for you

Am not too disappointed if the likes of Atiku truly spill out such....Weeping for the nation going to moribund. They are rich because we are poor, God shamed and silenced them all.......With all the irreversible damaged they caused Nigerian Government owned institution graduates are doing VERY GREAT...Anywhere,Anytime, Everywhere.......Great Nigerian Student!!!!!!!!!

Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one. However that man up there has a shitty opinion.

can't make a simple point without being insultive. Lol. If I decide to respond to what you have said am sure it will only lead to further insults.. I have more serious things to think about. Have a great day

TruthisGOD:
Educated fool. He thinks that the mere speaking of English shows how intelligent one is. That is how they ruined the country with their warp and poor mentality thoughts. Try those kids in Physics and Maths quiz in a neutral enviroment, you'll know how intelligent they are.

Sorry for the insult, u guys can push someone to d wall sometimes with ur comments........ Have a great day too

not even secondary school. bring the so called private university first class students of the same field to challenge their public university counterparts, you will be maniacally bewildered on how the public university students will spank their asses!!

perfect gentle man. Nigeria will be a better place with more of your kind. All it takes to avoid wars and fights at times is just a sincere apology. Sorry if my earlier comment annoyed you. My bad. Once again, enjoy your day sir

He is insulting himself, he was one of those that caused the mess on ground. Never will I vote for him if he comes in 2019.
Nigerian graduates that will vote for him in 2019, are those he is referring to, not we the intelligent Nigerian graduates.

sava2:
May be in the east where goodluck Jonathan comes from.

It shows.

They cheat in exam in the east. That why they score high marks.

They too many as minister in Buhari govt that why they are not doing well

You must be a professor in hausa language. Your English is as terrible as you tend to be

Oga Atiku which mean ur Secondary School
Students is more brainier than you well I'm not doubting you ooo.... ur "Secondary School
Students can be a VC in Northern public Universities.... Awusa people and iberiberism TUFIAKWA

Abuleoshi:

If Atiku sees your comment, "he will say didn't I say it". You said That is how "the" ruin the country...
Abeg always read your comments well because Atiku is a member of Nairaland and he sees these mistakes and laughs at us Nigerian graduates!

Am not trying to impress him, but tell him the unclad truth. I can choose to interchange 'the with they'; 'ruin with ruined'; not his business. For him to judge my intelligent on how fluent I speak English is the of height stupidity.

unclezuma:

Dont mind atiku. what he is really talking about is northern university expecially the far north where lecturer will teach you math, chemistry, physics, computer science and english. all with hausa language. that is why when buhari is speaking you will hear what he is talking about.

That was when educationa was still good not now


Anyway thunder fire atiku and his 2019 dream

My friend education is more better now than then but it depends on you. You have access to modern educational system now. You've acess to information, software, etc with just a click on your laptop. You can even stay at the comfort of your home and learn any related things on your field via your laptop and internet. You've access to the best textbook in your field. Its only the lazy ones that wait for lecturer to give them an uncomprehensive handouts on a subject.

Maybe former VP Atiku isn't in the best position to castigate public educational institutions, more so that he was a huge stakeholder in governance for a period sufficient enough to herald change in the nation's educational system but failed except that together with his boss went ahead to establish private universities. He must admit without fail that he was a major contributor to the decay so much mouthed you think nothing good can come out of our Galilee.

However we must shamefully admit that he spoke the truth, at least somehow. Let's look to validate his statement; admittedly if you don't have some knowledge of English especially in comprehension, you may have problems passing some exams in various fields say for instance in liberal arts, business and even in medical sciences and engineering but, that's not the only thing you need to succeed.

Let's also look at the contents of his message, simply put, the educational standards of most public schools are now questionable. Well, that is true. Primary and secondary schools education may have differing standards across Nigeria but much more different is the standard across universities.
If am to express an opinion which is by no means a wish away based on my industry experience, exposure and my expositions to different geopolitical zones of Nigeria I think among public universities in the Southeast I can mention UNN, FUTO and Umudike as those with at least 50% expectation of trusted products. The problem is education is a political issue in that region and because there's an unseen competition going on the rate of examination malpractices doubles the national average(my opinion) whether at school leaving level or at higher levels. Aside examination malpractices is what I call social neglect of acceptable standards at the higher institutions.
The North is a place needing more attentions, education is picking up though but really abysmal. The rise of Abuja has helped the elites but at the university level, ABU, UniJos and FUTMinna comes to mind but you can reasonably say at least 40% of their student population are from the south. There are exam malpractices too but within the national average.

The southwest has had some golden years but such have been seriously challenged in the last 20 years and its the region with overwhelming private forays into education. Examination malpractices are around national average while it maintains its grip on the most respected higher institutions in Nigeria and more than half of those with better standards in Nigeria with UI, OAU, Unilag,Funaab, Unilorin, FUTA etc coming to mind. Even their state universities are better among their equals, so also non degree awarding institutions such as Yabatech, Polytechnics Ado Ekiti, ibadan etc.

The South south has continued to improve and you can bank on UniBen ,Unical, and Uniport in this region. However Delta's examination malpractices is above national average.
Nigeria has a long way to go as a country but private universities such as Atiku's school are filling the gaps. I can testify of good products from Convenants, Babcock, RUN etc

i dnt blame him...
