Must you show your phoolishness on this forum?

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!!

I don't know ooo but sincerely I observed that even some public school students in Abuja can't speak English...

When you see a grown up man crying for help, it is inhuman to finish him off.

Just see how all the BMC abandoned him to his fate, while they liter other threads shouting IPOB.

I am just trying to be humane.

This is one of the reasons i will never believe this apc government and also sure that chibok saga was a scam just to tarnished GEJ government. Students that were about to write Waec in federal government girls college could not speak English.

even if is nt a good english atleast they speaak englsh be it wrongly if really he or she is an ss3 student thr

Federal government girls secondary school can't speak even Pidgin English?

bros, may bi u re under spell to ave belived all dis apc lies..they cant even speak pigin..dt woman dt said they cant speak good in english was only being diplomatic

I don't think the report mentioned it anywhere that they couldn't speak a single English word. Without going too far, you can google and examine the stellar English speaking credentials of Hon. Kazaure.

It's sickening that everybody in Nigeria now views everything from only the political perspective. I'm sure there are many on this thread who actually did their NYSC in the north and can testify to the English communication skills of secondary school students in northern rural areas. For anyone to be surprised that SS3 students from a rural community in the far north (who have even been away from their classroom for 3 years) cant speak fluent English, such a person is simply ignorant of the state of the sorry state our educational system or the person is just feigning ignorance for silly political reasons.

Na lie oo.... According to what I've learnt from the wise and intelligent people on this thread, every SS3 student learned enough to write WAEC knows how to speak and write impeccable queen's English. I've been labelled unprintable names and mocked by some of these 'wise and intelligent' ones on this thread for daring to think and suggest that students in some northern rural areas may not be able to speak English fluently.

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.

please, shut up!

What language were they to write physics. were they taught physics in hausa or kanuri language?

mistarsam:
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!

Unless you learned Hausa overnight, if not, i wonder the language you taught them with if you are a corper from a different tribe.

herkeym001:
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.

Can you just imagine ?

What exactly is your point?... That every SS3 student in Nigeria, including those in rural areas speak and write impeccable English fluently?... A question I keep asking is, have you been to the north before?... If you haven't kindly go ask friends or relatives or whoever you know who's served in the north, most especially those who had to teach in schools in rural areas, and then you will have glimpse of the true nature of Nigeria's educational system.

These girls were supposed to be writing physics exam. In what language have they been thought the physics equations and in what language was the exam? There is no need to be political here.

Just wanted to know if they weren't the ones that were supposed to take WAEC? In fact, telling us here that you were trying to teach them how to speak English language is what I cannot comprehend.

Were they supposed to have used which language to write the WAEC? 3 yrs is not all that much long time to now make them not to speak English language.

In what language did Hon. Kazaure write his own English and Maths exams?... Travel to rural areas in northern Nigeria and you will get the answer to your question; you will also be properly informed on the true nature of Nigeria's educational system.

I have not only been in the north, but I lived there for over 10 years and have the opportunity to travel to most of the big cities/places except Yola and never heard of physics being thought in The Hausa language but am aware that Some part(s) of the north are backward in education even my colleagues prefers to speak Hausa language but I must say they all speak sound and good English because the least of them have at least a secondary school certificate.

You said you have lived in big cities, then you definitely haven't been to the rural areas where they simply write answers on the board for them but they still fail exams cos they still can't even copy the written answers. Even in Imo state (educationally most-advantaged state nationwide), there are SS3 students in my village who can't string together 3 to 4 correct sentences in English language let alone in a northern rural area. Oh yes! they are taught in English language and we have even made jokes on social media about teachers teaching English with Igbo in some Owerri rural schools; "Obi is a boy, ashim nini?"

Now we're talking of the far north. These are kids whose lingua franca from birth is Hausa in their homes, markets, streets, churches and mosques. Oh yes! they are 'officially' taught in English in their schools, but their only English exposure starts and ends in that classroom. Now these ones have been away from 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?... I believe my explanation on why they can't speak proper English is clear enough and this should have nothing to do with politics.

The North is always the most qualified when it comes to appointments into federal positions. no matter how you try to defend nor make us to understand thier inability to speak English, I find it very hard to believe that an SS3 student prepared to write waec can't speak English or forgets the language he used to speak within 3 years. I have been to so many northern states and communication in English is a barrier there but a lot of them who are students are always there to help out.

Okay that's fine, and that's your own experience. And mind you, I'm not defending anything, I'm only saying in my opinion, there's nothing shocking or strange about an SS3 student from a rural village in Borno being unable to fluently converse in English; it is actually a norm in that part of the world. Of course they would be able to speak some very horrible cut-and-join broken English. But after 3 years in the wilderness without any opportunities to converse in English, even that little ability they had would be greatly eroded.

The bone of contention on this thread is that SS3 students writing Waec cant speak fluently in English, a lot of people here have claimed it is impossible to have SS3 students who cant speak English. And my point is simply that that is a bullshit assumption. Any Nigerian who understands Nigeria's educational system especially up north, knows that it is a nonsensical assumption to think every SS3 student can speak English fluently.

Even in my village in the most educationally advantaged state of the federation, there are SS3 students who cant string 3 straight English sentences together without help. Let alone some students from a girls school in a rural neighbourhood in the Borno. Meanwhile these girls haven't been exposed to any English speaking for up to 3 years and people actually expect them to automatically be fluent in English?

And yeah, I do have lots of common sense, and from your comment, I doubt you have any, hence you think I have to be paid by someone before making a commonsensical comment. Sorry boy, I'm not as hungry as your generation who expects a toss of a few peanuts before speaking sense. Not everything is politics and hence, not everything should be viewed from the shallow perspective of politics. Let's hear your mature response...

My own point is not based on the premise of fluency in English but still cannot see how all those so-called students who are meant to write physics exam suddenly cannot speak English. I agree that there are some students where ever they are either east, south, west or north who may not be fluent in English but I have a problem if someone tells me that their physics exam is not in English.

So what language were they using to write the physics exam before they were allegedly kidnapped?

This Nigeria is filled with mysterious lies.

I'm not sure I read it anywhere in the report where it stated that their exams weren't in English. The exams are definitely in English and the students would have been taught in English; but their exposure to English ends in those short hours in the classroom.

For a rural dwelling child whose mother tongue and lingua franca is Hausa; Hausa at home, market, in school (with peers), in the churches/mosques etc, there's nothing surprising about such a child being unable to speak English fluently, especially after they've been separated from classroom (the only place they get exposure to English) for 3 years. So I wonder what the fuss really is on this thread and why I'm being insulted for stating my mind.
