Just like the Chibok girl, is English too hard and what do they use to write ssce ane jss3 exams. Sigh

Na dem way!

Arrangee system

1.Not enough nursery schools up North. Kids are just rushed into Primary one sans nursery shcool. Nursery school is where you learn the rudiments of English....

2.Northern schools have a high student to teacher ratio. A TV crew once visited a school a rural area. There were 400 students in two classrooms and 3 teachers. Not enough teachers, not enough time to learn English

3.In the South, english is used on a daily basis.

4.I blame the colonialists. They also kind of discouraged Western education for a while up North, which contributed more to the education gap. Also, indirect rule was a thing in the North..meaning that English was not necessary for administrative purposes....until close to independence. In the South,. English was more necessary due to rule being more direct.

5.Hausa is a widely used language across the West African continent. It is what is called a trade language...kind of playing the role Greek used to play in large areas of the middle east for centuries, for example. One can travel across wide swathes of West Africa without using French or English...just Hausa.

6.Lack of interest in Western education.(Boko did not come from the sea). The Colonialsits too also played their part by restricting establishment of mission schools in Muslim areas.

7.Let's be honest, poor teaching of the English language. To learn any language effectively, you got to immerse the kid in that language for hours. English is not taught well in many schools in Nigeria...and it gets worse up North.

8 English in itself is a foreign language. The harsh truth is that many kids learn better when taught in their native tongue, but for the purposes of national integration(and better interaction with the wider world), we have to teach our kids in a foreign language which most of us struggle to learn, Hausas included.

you see this guy above eh. na the set of people were them go say answer 4 out 6 question but e go answer all the 6 question.

English is not a measurement of intelligence

Maybe they are taught in Hausa language.

Reasons why people from that region should not be producing this country's Presidents.

and to think those kids are students

NOTE : English is Haram

Do they teach them in English?

You be big fool I swear.

Is english your mother tongue
All the more reason hausa should always produce president. The others are educated yet lost

let me start by quoting Thomas Fasokun he said "we all know that literacy has been internationally recognised both as a human right in itself and as a crucial instrument for the pursuit of other rights"

... in the north, there are two predominant literacy,
Arabic education and hausa languages. The little northern kids has early access to the former and acquire the knowledge easily since it is a precursor to their morals and religion.

So you can't much blame a kid in primary/secondary schools in the north who is unable to speak fluent English compared to the southern kids who's primary school students even speak better English than the teachers who taught them.


if all things were perfectly balanced, people wouldn't demonize a Western Education. We would be learning Greek, English, Arabic Yoruba Hausa and Igbo
The child was told to speak in hausa so that he would be able to explain himself properly to avoid speaking in tongues .
I have. never seen Lionel Messi speak English after a post match interview

Lol. Hausa is a trade language..

English is a what??

That's the excuse of people not ready to learn anything new

None of their textbooks has hausa author

Yes

I am a Yoruba Man, but let's be honest here.
I will speak in regards to the SW, our colonial master did not


They let us believe English is superior to our local dialect and we believed it dogmatically. They looted out resources, looted our brain and made us believe we are superior to others by losing our core identity, so in order not to look foolish alone we crucify those who kept theirs.

Who made us believe speaking English equals to being educated, our brothers in the east with little academics education excell excellently in businesses and the academically elites are making waves globally.
They their, they speak English, while people are making difference, contributing to humanity.

Finally those people who doesn't speak English determines the destiny of this country, and they control you and I who speaks English with our degree.

shebi dem say na BOYS SCIENCE SECONDARY SCHOOL? n.a. him dem no fit speak English....N.a. wa oo

It's a Miyetti Allah FULANI HERDSMEN PLOT.

it's only in North that you teach English with Hausa

What's with your obsession with British Colonial Language

Language is a means of communication not a show of intelligence


They spoke in their mother tongue to communicate and share their feelings and experience with every of their people



.

They barely speak english in the north and why does it matter to you?

Is english more important?

Boys science secondary school cannot speak English. So how is chemistry, physics, further maths, biology taught

Hausa isnt a second rate language like igbo and yoruba. Hausas use it in everyday life including academics

History555:

how are they taught in japan?

If you've ever marked or vetted Weac/Neco scripts you'd know the North aren't the brightest in terms of book literacy.

It's not surprising the quota system exists.
Legal loopholes created specifically for this purpose

After answering the 6,he'll now write "choose any four"

Dem curse us Yoruba to dey defend these people?
Have you listened to the children of Northern elites speak English?
You better shut up if you don't understand what is going on,

Nigeria has two official languages: Hausa (de facto) and English (de jure)
