Former Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha seems to be serving it in the red chamber ever since he emerged a Senator.

During yesterday's plenary, the ex-governor fired his distinguished colleagues why everybody is talking about payment of salaries, roads and neglecting the standard of education in the country, even the kind of graduates our institutions produce.

In the video making rounds online, web users seem to be liking the new Rochas who have now graduated to a Senator.

How many productive Chinese can speak English? Yet they make footprints worldwide.

I taught ss2 and ss3 in a public school in ayetoro,yewa North,Ogun state in my nysc days. I can attest to the fact that though my ss3 students were about writing waec/neco exams,more than 80 percent of them could neither speak nor write in English language even though they "copy notes". I have always wondered if it is the same waec,neco and jamb that every part of the country is writing!!!

We should start with our president as an example, his inability to communicate fluently in English is a big barrier for Nigeria as a nation. The politicians have a big fault in this poor education system we have in the country, they send their kids abroad and leave the one in their country uncatered for, ASUU keeps going on strike and students time for learning in class reduces. It is just a pitiable state for a country that has gained independence for almost 60years.

I knew this man was going there to disgrace us. From ministry of happiness to this. Please if Owelle has nothing to say he should just warm the bench

Latest information reaching me is that we are already producing such graduates. Double wahala for dead body and the owner.

Check my Sig.

That'll be innocuous, provided that they've cognitive ability. Cognition breeds competence - competence over articulacy any day and anytime. I don't mean to encourage inarticulacy in any way though.

It takes one who's competent, not articulate, in his/her chosen area of trade/expertise to produce effective (real) result. This should be the right time to encourage people to stop glossing their ignorance with articulateness and focus on being competent, especially when left with an option to choose one from the two elements.

As all dese articulators and orators wey abound for our country so far never make am betta, so we no need more of dem, unless dem go acquire de two elements together.

Which President
Do you even know what English is??

I would advise him to stop living in the past because we already have such graduates since the time I can't even remember.

What's this one saying? That he lied? There was a time some ESUT graduates were deployed to serve in bakeries when they couldn't teach even the nursery school pupils.

You are trying to be correct, but you are wrong because you are hitting the wrong spot.
Oya, look at it from this perspective.

Apart from the fact that Nigeria as a country rely on the West for her civilization, have you asked which language the graduate was taught to become a graduate in the first place?

Even the China you talk about has a well large population of English speakers.

So tell me why any graduate who was supposedly taught in English from nursery, primary, secondary and to tertiary institution should not be able to speak English?
Why

Make huna dey use our mother tongue dey teach students for school na, English na huna papa language? Those wen sabi speak English huna don give dem work? Mumu man wen dey drag for say make INEC release him certificate only to go dey sleep for senate I hate nonsense!!

English died a long time ago in Nigeria

Too late, Okoro. We’ve started producing some already.

Na today? It has tey awa graduates cannor speak simple English na

Is that why while u were Governor, went around telling lies to the media that u were paying corp members 15000naira as allowance?

What! Nigeria is already producing graduates who can't speak English. A visit to the north and you'll get first hand evidence

Pls gain understanding. What is our official language sir? And what is theirs

Who English epp...Do you sabi know how to speak English?

Who English EPP?..as far as they can calculate money..

They will definitely know how to speak your type of English *iberiberism*.

It is already happening.
Our education system has taken a nosedive.
No wonder most of our graduates are unemployable.

Terribly sad.

That one is small.

In Kings college, they conducted aptitude tests for Youth Corpers posted to teach there. Many of the Corpers posted there couldn't string two sentences of correct English together.
