During our days, WAEC was a near test of knowledge. We wore pocketless shorts and perforated singlets to exam halls in St Charles Special Science School. We knew those that would clinch 9A, and those that would depend on luck. But WAEC is no longer what it used to be. Nigeria has happened to WAEC.

I met 2 young people last year. Both were in SS 3. Unfortunately, both cannot write 2 readable sentences. One could hardly read. I wondered how they made it so far.

When their WAEC result was out, to my surprise, they cleared their papers. To give them the benefits of the doubt, I asked for their grade in the English language. The one that could not read got a B in English.

Not wishing them ill, but something was missing. The system failed it there. Years ago, this chap cannot make up to 3 Credits in WAEC. I consoled myself with these words: the university will be the gatekeeper. They can’t beat the system all the time.

But I overestimated the system. I don't know the latest.

2 weeks ago, at a NIN center, a man in his mid-50s walked into the center with his daughter. The man looked worn out, and the daughter wasn’t more than 19. They wanted to register for JAMB. The girl didn’t know the course she would study at the University. The owner of the center asked if she did Arts or Sciences, and chose a course for her.

He told the man that he could secure an admission for the girl in the almighty UNN. He explained that during finger-print capturing, the girl should put her thumbs, the person who would sit for the exams would complete the remaining 8 fingers. That person would sit for the JAMB and the Post UME. All will cost the man N350,000.00.

I could not believe this man had seen 100k in his life, it shocked me when he priced N200k.

Can’t this girl sit for that exam and fail and sit for it again? Can’t the father invest a quarter of that amount on lessons and encourage the young girl? What is wrong with getting admission at 22? What are we teaching our children?

We are sitting on a time bomb. Soon, we will have doctors that cannot tell drugs apart, Engineers that cannot read a design. We should not be afraid of the guns we see in the street. The society we abuse today will take revenge on all of us tomorrow.

Nigeria is like used oil. Anything it touches turns to grease.

Reason why UI will never bank on your olevel in pursuit of admission.

Lol

The man ignorance will make him just waste hard earn money to scammer, they will just edit and print jamb format out for them since they know they don't know anything

Corruption seems to be encrypted in the black man's gene. If we and the Whites should switch places such that Africans move to Europe and the Caucasians migrate to occupy our lands in Africa, Negros will degrade London to Lagos.

Hmmm....it should begin by asking how a Junior Minister got the 100 million to purchase APC form. From TOP to BOTTOM, the country is gone!

Our educational system is going down the drain everday...May God help us

UNN I laugh

These things are happening already. The other day, i saw an extract of an interview on channels TV. The interviewer was Ṣeun and the guest was the Ogun State governor. From what I learned, that man never graduated and he even told the anchor he would stop answering questions about his education lol..the really funny thing here is that as much as the people realize this abomination, it doesn't bother them.

Everything about our society is decaying real fast. I seen many many things. I worked with a religious institution, and i confirmed that we have really ruined ourselves and openly pretending we're being positive. I seen religious HRs employing incompetent employees because they belong to the same church or denomination. I seen where those that call themselves pastors tell lies to cover their incompetency. Parents does not have the knowledge/time to raise their children in the right way..and later those children become slaves to religion, dogs to politicians...etc.

It's done already...the way out of this abyss? I know not.

Those guys are just doing donation.
When people asked how APC funded their campaign, they will tell you how many people bought their #100 million form.
The word corruption should be replace with APC.

After some washed out people will now come and blame ASUU and the Universities for producing half bake graduates.

Whereas the whole Education sector is in shambles... Even parents aiding and abetting...

The Government is in shambles

Nigerians just corrupt and greedy

Cbt for WAEC is the answer chibok girls were writing waec and could not speak English waec na scam.

I am ashamed to say it's true.

But Jamb are trying their best to fight these things recently.

Even VC's of Universities claim they are given slots and they give admission to undeserving candidates, Imagine someone who scored 250 not getting admission to Uniben, some were given fine arts and other almost irrelevant courses while someone who scored 152 gained admission to study Engineering, I was surprised and felt bad for those intelligent students and somehow the school officials told me and a fried who had the audacity to query the situation that admission was based on luck, I no fit talk again.

I gained admission to Uniben twice but I didn't like the school, the corruption I saw drove me away, I didn't like the environment and some money factors happened too but if I had known I would have accepted it since, the school I am studying with now, their own corruption pass House of Senate own.

I wrote Jamb three times and it was only the first time I read seriously for like 4 months, the public library was my second home then, other times I just did revision of two weeks, I didn't even attend those jamb lessons before because the Jamb exam was a platter of gold for me, somehow parents these days escort their wards to exam centres to look for who to bribe, instead of them to make sure their wards were fully prepared, students call school scam, lecturers and examiners collect bribe, libraries are empty, you can only find old men and women there, imagine.

I don't even know how to say it all but corruption has eaten deep into the society, someone at the NIMC Office ( a corrupt official I almost wanted to slap) once told me that it's a culture now in Nigeria and I can't do anything about it, Individually we all need to fight corruption, we can't wait for the government to do it alone, the little ones we can do will go a long way, students no longer read again, I know many graduates who don't know how to read and compose simple English using pen and paper sometime I wonder he they got there.

My Mum who went to the hospital recently felt disgusted and insulted the corper who she met there because he female corper asked her that didn't went to school (my mom) to spell her name, Florence. To stop all these it has to be collective efforts, the government can't do it alone.

You spoke very well, intellectually balanced opinion, glad you did.

You now see the reason we keep shouting that the government , Parents are not doing the right thing. Shifting the goal posts to the academia.

Morals have gone to the dogs in this country.
It's very rare you see any individual born in this indomie age that can vouch they wrote their exams by themselves, what magic will they now do in the higher institutions.

The bottom line is, since the President of FRN is ruling over 100 million intellects with WAEC certificate, reference is always given to this in heated debates .

What can we do? Nothing but watch, or better move to saner climes where knowledge is valued as many Doctors have done.
I rest my case.

Floret in Aterum
Is this Anieto I know?
SCOBA 10

Finally, we are having this discussion.

If you ask me, i'd say this is singularly the reason why Nigeria is the way it is today.

Since early 2000s, majority of those that wrote WAEC did so in special centres or were aided in one way or the other to sail through the exams.

Public schools.
Private schools.
Missionary schools.... Same, same.

To secure admissions, they bribe their way through and are admitted with 180 when those with 270 - who can't pay through their nose - are either given undesired courses or are denied admission.

Vroom, they are out and the society wonder why there are corp members that can't piece three words together to form a sentence.

We know how to solve this problem if we want to solve the problem.

I don't like the way most Nigerians see corrupt practices as norm,, it's annoying. What pained me most is a lecturer dishing out answers to some set of students for a course he taught in the class in the exam hall, at that moment I knew the education system in Nigeria is gone. This same lecturer will be forming "Mr integrity" when teaching in the class, my respect for him decline for such corrupt act.
Some students in my class reserve money for sorting of courses during exam period. People hardly take education serious

Nigeria is finished sincerely, the op made important points I wrote SSCE and GCE altogether 3x before making and jamb once an I made 200+ but nowadays what they do for WAEC is runsing exam when those who the runs the same for could not defend it and when they maneuver they way to the higher institution they strongly depend on bribing there ways to the detriment of the society. Truly, Nigeria is on keg of gun powder waiting for explosion.
