You have migrated this your zombieism to a higher pedestal.

Chibok is a semi urban community and not a rural village. Even a higher primary school pupil from schools in those areas communicate in basic English language, talk less of an SS3 student writing WAEC, which is a regional exams set in English language only. Were they supposed to write or have written the ones they wrote in Hausa or Fulfude language? Were they taught Newton's law of gravity and other Physics theories in Hausa also, if so, show me one Physics textbook written in Hausa language.
I believe they wrote junior WAEC before they were promoted to SS classes, was that written in Hausa also?

So they forgot how to speak all the English they learnt in school during their 3yrs of 'captivity'? Even a baby will laugh at you ridiculously, do those girls look like people kept in isolation and are looking so healthy and well kept, do they not converse among themselves?

Guy I dey shame for you oo!!

Have you ever been to the north?

You think it's by mere chance that unity school cut-off points for Borno or some other far northern states is 2/200 while that for Imo state is 140/200?

You claim you're out of school and your field of study isnt English. So what language do you communicate with in your current school and what language are you communicating with at the moment?

By the way, quit the shorthand writing; it's very tacky and could ruin your writing skills in future.
What is all this unity school cut-off marks yi.

Make we hear word jare.

Na only you dey north ni.

Can you imagine?
1. They were kidnapped on the day of physics paper. And they have that large number of only female student writting WAEC in chibok village, not state capital (Maiduguri) even in developed and populated states/city like Kano, Lagos, PH, Ibadan etc physics students (female) can't be that much for physics paper.

2. No specific number of kidnapped physics student from the media........though, they all report 200+

3. Report has it that they were all/ 95% Christian and all forced to be Muslim. Video was released within 2 weeks of kidnapped, and those girls were reciting Arabic fluently. It is not possible for a non-muslim to mimickly recite Arabic fluently within shortest time of the released video.

4. I believe there was a chibok girls student kidnap, but the story/report has k-leg from day one.
No single kidnap, just an APC movie being played out. undecided undecided undecided

I laugh at the ignorance of people who keep wondering why waec candidates from a village in Borno cant speak good english.

Obviously you are oblivious of the kind of country you live in. Even in the more educated and enlightened south, we still get cases of even university graduates who can't speak English. But here we are, talking of secondary school teenagers from a deep village in Borno, but some enlightened Nigerians still wonder why English is a luxury for these kids.

People seem to be ignorant of the existence of that thing called federal character which places unity school cut-off points of 2/200 for students in places like Borno and Yobe. They obviously do not think such a policy can affect the abilities of the students. Meanwhile the teens have been locked up in captivity and away from English language for 3 years, and we still wonder why a drop of English language shouldnt be in them.
Sir, no one is ignorant. Chibok is a LGA headquarters, it's a town not a village. The school has a hostel, it has a principal and above all, it's a WAEC accredited center. Please let us face facts this is all a scam.

stop fooling yourself, during my Nysc, I taught ss3 students, some of who could not construct a simple correct english sentence at the ohuru comprehensive high sch in ukwa east abia state.
They could not even add x+x(because I was teaching them maths), a particular girl could not spell her own name, now back to the chibok issue,before now it could have sounded like a russ to me but after my experience in abia, I have stop thinking things are the same everywhere.
Re: We Are Teaching Chibok Girls To Speak Good English – Aisha Alhassan by Mcreloaded(m): 11:56am On May 31, 2017
I wrote before about the first chibok who journalists interviewed but had to use a translator to translate to the girl and back to the journalist even though the journalists spoke English even if it is broken English the chibok girl would have tried when even my grandfather in the deep village can speak broken English.watching in 3D

Please take it easy. I served in the North (in an all girls boarding school) and I know how things are over there.

The government is just trying to tell us​ the obvious. In the school where I served, the answers are passed across to the students during exams by their teachers. An average S3 student there cannot tell you what the past tense of SIT is. Gaskiya walahi!

Let me tell you something, this is not about politics, and it's not even about the issue of kidnap of anyone. Let's be focussed and talk about the ability of students in non-urban centres in Nigeria speaking 'good English.'

I am from an internal village in Imo state, and I can tell you for a fact that there are several SS3 students where I come from who still struggle at speaking and writing in English language. I am very sure the case is similar wherever you are from. But be reminded, we are talking of the more enlightened SE where even in the remotest location, a stranger can never get lost due to language barrier because everyone on the street speaks at least a bit of English.

Now we're talking of the north, the far northern state of Borno to be precise. We are talking of kids whose lingua franca from birth to date is Hausa. Hausa is their default language from their homes to their markets and to their churches/mosques. Even in their schools, Hausa is still their default language of communication to their peers and to even teachers and other school staff in 'informal' scenarios; they only get exposed to English in standard classroom lessons and once the lessons are over, they revert instantly to their comfort zone. Now these ones have been separated from these classrooms for 3 years and tucked in an environment where they probably haven't spoken a word of even broken English for 3 years and you wonder why speaking proper English is a luxury for them?

There's a very good reason I asked the other dude if he's ever been to the north, cos anyone who has wouldn't find it so weird or surprising that final year secondary school students from a non-urban area can't speak good English. A simple word of advice, 'travel and see things for yourself,' not everything needs a political interpretation or explanation. Can even Hon. Kazaure who sits comfortable in your National Assembly speak a straight sentence in English language?.... Can your president even speak good English?

This isnt politics, this is a common sense debate. Every issue mustn't be desperately politicised. I asked a simple question requiring nothing but common sense, can every secondary school child from your village speak proper english?... Give me a simple YES or NO answer.

When you answer the question, you can also proceed to tell me why you think it is weird for secondary school children from a northern non-urban area who have been in captivity for 3 years (away from every semblance of English) should be able to speak proper English.

You are obviously the one throwing shit at yourself by substituting common sense for political sense. You can also do well to highlight the exact sentence I made which is a lie.
