am not sure it is. just as exam malpractice is prevalent in secondary schools. so it is also prevalent in banking. many of my colleagues do it. its like an open secret. management implicitly indirectly encourages it because it helps them meet their liquidity drive.

one of my line managers used to say this:

bring any type of money to the bank from any source, we will accept it, but do it smartly and don't allow the regulatory authorities catch you, or we deny you!

To let you know how prevalent it is in banking, a colleague of mine was implicated in a fraud scheme busted by the FBI all the way from USA that made headlines last year. her crime was that she did not do due diligence when opening the fraudsters account. the bank hired the best lawyers and fought her case, indirectly protecting the interest of the fraudster. after the whole ordeal she was promoted instantly to a branch manager. grin cheesy

I was in a police station some years back to renew one of my vehicle paper and Ila woman came to bailed her son who was arrested by police for involving in Yahoo. And I saw the guy in question begging the policeman that, never in his life be involved in anything related to Yahoo ever again. At the end of the day when the guy was released, two of the police called him and said give us your number so that when next you collect money, will won't need to come arrest you, you will just send us transfer.. and the guy said, he meant it when he said he won't get into any related to Yahoo. And both police said to the guy, even if you know dey do Yahoo again, we go still come arrest you, wetin you want make we dey chop. So it better for you to commence where you stopped.. na one of the police con dey tell me, Bros close your mouth abeg..

The owner of this number is a 419 07031886892. If he meets a lady he will promise to marry the lady now now and once he marry you in court, he will ask the lady to give him all the money she has because he wants to be in charge of your life. Once he get hold of the money, you won't see him again and he moves to his next victim. He has done so to many ladies.Please be careful of any man that wants to marry you now now and always make sure you meet his family.

I remember when I served (NYSC) some years ago in a village secondary school. The experience was amazing because i gave everything that I had intellectually, to see that the students learnt something good and new. I was the only one using YouTube to teach (thanks to the good glo network in the village).

One day, I sent most of the students out because of their attitude. The principal saw them and started shouting "Corper, allow them to go inside the classroom" I had to shout back "Sir, I cannot allow them to go inside...I told them to stay outside." The principal was weak and surprised

Weeks to exam, the principal called me and told me this is a village school and I want you to show the students 5 questions out of the 6. E shock me wella. I couldn't do it because I believed it wasn't right.

I believe even though we all sinners, we should always do what's right...best.

OP, I salute you.
Lol, u should come and teach in a village school in the north were student barely understand English, the principal doesn't need to ask u to show the students question b4 exam, only you will show them by yourself and many will still fail. The school I served was hopeless abeg.

I was taught in a school where examination malpractice was the order of the day! I taught introtect ,I took it upon my self to impact knowledge not just teach! Junior waec came the principal told me to solve the questions on the board, I bluntly refuse, told him I had confidence in my pupil, I was just in the hall to give little assistance, like formulas they forget , 85 percent of them passed my subject my salary was increased , years after I left the school my student with meet me on the road and ask me to define ohms law ! I was nicked name uncle ohms law ! Most teachers teach without impacting knowledge ... besides I did education

During my PPA, we were forced by the principal to pass everyone after the 3rd term exam. The pain of wasting your starched shirt coming to school Monday to Friday, teaching SS1 blockheads that can't recite 36 states and capitals couldn't allow me to obey the principal's order. I added extra 10 marks to all of them out of my benevolence yet none scored above 50.
The principal asked me to re-mark the scripts, I refused. My head teacher did the wayo for them. The principal refused giving me clearance form for that month.

I graduated some years back, and never wanted to teach in secondary school‎ because of the trends in Nigerian education. I took to the labour market and focused only on primary schools. As the job did not come, I decided to include secondary schools.

One later came my way and it was the later. Having stayed long in the unemployment line, I accepted the offer. I started teaching and it was as I thought before. Having the hindsight, I did not bother. After all before the examination I will have gathered some amount. 

My colleagues were particularly vulnerable to the impact of our boss. Whenever they discuss, they always say all kind of things about the pressure from the boss. They saw it as an act of routine expediency that had to be done.

First term passed, second term passed, at this juncture, she called a meeting and we mustered. The major thrust of the meeting was the strategy to engage to pass the children.
She did not call it exam malpractice. She used a euphemistic language. At the end, she asked if we understood. Everybody nodded yes and gave an affirmative answer. This was at the end of the second term.

Soon it was time for the exam and the staff time table was out. It was arranged such that every teacher on duty will be supervising exam on the day his subject was to be taken. 

Choosing principle of expediency, I refused to take part in the exam malpractice I was uncomfortable with. 

The woman called and persuaded me to engage in the shady deal. I kept mute but inside me I had already made up my mind like the biblical Shedrack, Meshack, and Abednego.

The next day, I was on duty and I insisted on my principle of expediency. She simply gritted her teeth and moved on with it. 

Sometimes it is desirable for people to be free of fear of attack or sack as the case may be in order to invoke honest opinion.

The woman endured it because she did not have choice than to continue with me. Guess what! Some parents were ready to go with me! 
She endured it until the term ended. I was not surprised when she called me and announced my exit. 

Today, I am happy that i'm teaching in primary school where I am not forced to do exam malpractice. I'm even happy to have my pay raised.
I have ever picked up a very huge amount of money, when I returned the money, the security there thought I was mad or something was wrong with me. But I was happy I did. After sometimes I ran into one of the security he said I made a big mistake that I should have given him the money,that the money would have change his life.

My experience was in 2015 immediately after NYSC.

I got a job with STARTIMES in Abuja as a Call Centre Agent. We started in-house training of their CRM templates

Quite a number of us are fresh graduates then. When it was time for tests after the training, I saw people bringing out their phones and copying answers in order to score high marks.
My conscience wouldn't let me join them and so I finished the exams.

When the results came out, I was below by one mark. Regardless of this, I was happy and contented with what happened afterwards.

The corruption in Nigeria is just too much.

As a HOD, there are these two deligent, beautiful and married ladies working under me. They have been confiding in me, one after the other, pertaining our GM, who wants to forcefully bed them. i tried all i could then to make them ignore and face there duties.Not until the GM mandated me to sack the ladies. Which i refused and after some months, a board meeting was called and the issue pertaining the sack was raised. I stood my ground insisting that if the ladies should be sacked for just no reason, i was going to resign. A month later the ladies were sacked and i made good my threat. Till Today the coy still wants me back with better incentives to the extent of calling the ladies back so as to entice me to come back. Of course they did not go back as i made sure to fix them where i am today with better working condition and incentives.

I was going to read in school when I saw a new phone (infinix not 4) which someone forgot where we keep our bags before entering the library. I picked up the phone and the mistake I made was giving it to the security men at the entrance of John Harris library, uniben. About a month later, I saw one of them using the phone at the school canteen where I went to eat!! I was shocked!!
