 WHY NIGERIA STUDENTS FAILED THERE WASSCE....... 

Its widely known today in our dear Country that we'v all terminated our artful grieving over tragedy'which many fake tears label the mass failure our  children in the May/June 2014 West African Examination,WASSCE.

 Please, answer these questions; is there any parent or guardian in Nigeria who has ever register his or her child or ward in the English Premier League Grammar School here in Nigeria?what about Chelsea football club comprehensive college,or Inter Milan high School,or Barcelona International high School or Real Madrid Community High School?is there any parent who taught his or her child  or ward to ,cram,the Book called ''Lionel Messi'', or ''Christiano Ronaldo'' or ''Heden Hazard'', or Fabrigas'' or ''Arsene Wenger'',or ''Sir Alex ferguson'', and the' Bundesliga'or' La liga'or the Serie A'? but,Why do our primary School pupil in Nigeria knows more about all these than he or  she does about Nigeria! many of them cannot tell the date when Peter Ayodele Fayose was swear-in as  governor of  Ekiti state,many secondary school student cannot tell you the names of the capital cities of the cited states, or what 'Democracy' means.indeed, many of them do not know the difference between' Complement'and ' Compliment'.They do not know because it is not their bussiness,it is not their filed of 'specialization'.What, then is their 'field of specialization' ? I have already cited the football leagues of many foreign countries.Many of our children are versed and fanatical fans of many of those foreign clubs,and belong to there fan clubs and spend scarce money buying their jerseys, bandannas bracelets wristwatches,photographs and many many more.Then there are Nollywood,Bollywood, gollywood and Hollywood, i am talking about home movies ,the secondary school student in Nigeria is an authority in all these , a prodigy, a professor,a veteran.What about music and dance?the Nigerian secondary school student can tell you when Beyonce was born, and when she was married Sean Carter,alias JAY Z.The secondary school student who goes drowsy merely by opening a text or a note book can sing along,flawlessly,the song, 'Skelewu' or 'Show me your particulars,or" Critizice" by "Bloodbrothers" she knows that 2face as just bought a customised car,and has five children from as many ladies.he knows that faze is working on another single,and that D'banj and banky W and Psquare are ''Wow''Then there is the internet! even though there is wikipedia,a great "school",the Nigerian secondary school student would rather browse for pornographic or musical materials than for ,amoeba, or ,paramecium', ,budget,' ,inflation,' or democracy. And the closest pal or companion of the Nigerian secondary school student is neither his teacher nor his book;it is his telephone handset,in the handset are many heavenly 'games'.There is Facebook,there is Whatsapp.there is Tango. there is Badoo,there is Instagram,there is SMS and many many more.Away from the virtual world to the real there is fashion ....saggy pants that reveals the anus....and beautiful babes who must be impressed and lured with money, recharge cards snacks and with daddy's 'ride'. Then there sex.this is a natural function but, to secondary school students it is ''fun'.Condoms are not available by miracles ;the secondary school student must,therefore,look for money to buy packs of them because he is hyper-sexy and because girls do not pay a kobo when dating  ''guys''. Am  i lying.?  When last did Nigerian secondary school student approach you with a Maths or English language, or Physics, or Biology or Chemistry or Integrated science problem ? When last did you catch your child or ward with a novel or a respectable news magazine? he or she is busy'caressing'a smartphone,Pinging !Chatting!Texting, Face-booking,Whats Apping, Googling for scores in football matches in Italy,Spain, Germany,England, the Netherlands Belgium or France. All the while, he cannot name four clubs or players in his own country's football league.And then, cock your ears for the infinitely degenerate''broken English 'leaking from mouth of the Nigerian secondary school student! it is 'motor park 001"!,Conversing with them in standard English literally causes them to bleed from their mouths'.'.But even then,Nigeria has a long way to go to resurrect and reform and revitalize our education.we must relegate obscene materialism we must be caught READING by our children and wards. They must hear us communicate in simple and standard Englsh. I say this because many parent and guardian who claim for the 'prestige' of it,to  speak English to their children and wards,actually make it difficult for the discerning to distinguish their laguages or dialects or pidgin English  from Queen's English they will swear they are  'blowing'. It is not that any one language is superior to others but the very wide distribution of English in today's world has all but appointed it the world language ,even though mandarin chinese  is spoken by more human beings. So, to be able to read and understand the question in an exemination, and to know and communicate the answer and score pass marks students can not read!  They must read.We all must read. When our children catch us reading....because they are inimitable imitators...they will read, also. And when they read, ''70% failure in WASSCE ''will pass away. Until then i am ashamed.
