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.

If you are now teaching English language to girls who were about to take WAEC examination before they were allegedly kidnapped by Boko Haram terrorists, what should be the fate of students who are not yet at the point of taking WAEC examination in Chibok? Please I pray you to start teaching English language to girls who now in the school. What a country.

Summary of it all is that the educational system (especially up north) is worse than you can ever imagine.

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...
