ezebunafo: The question is, why would a child be out of "basic" by 16? If you enroll your children in school at the appropriate age, 18 is exactly the age they should finish at, as is done almost everywhere in the world. So where are the parents rushing him or her to, and why? Do you realize that mental development occurs in stages and the average child is not ready for university life and university-level work by 16? |

Nigeria is a backward country, how do we get young aspiring people when we have limited the age they are supposed to progress in their life? Honestly, this country is not for me 6 Likes 2 Shares |

It appears that your perspective does not take into account the nuances of child development. It is unfortunate that our government insists on rigid age requirements, such as waiting until 18 to take the SSCE, rather than recognizing individual readiness. This approach seems to be a departure from reality, focusing instead on arbitrary goals. CyrusVI: 1 Like |

This policy is a stupid one because WAEC and NECO exams are not only for JAMB and admission to universities. Make 18 the minimum age for JAMB and admissions, but not for WAEC and NECO exams. If you like, write WAEC and NECO exams at the age of 14. Use the next 4 years to learn trades, basic computing, tailoring, painting or any other skill. This will shape your career and help you to make wise decisions when choosing a program to do in university at the age of 18. One other thing that should be made illegal in this case is sending kids that are below the age of 3 to school. 7 Likes |

I support FG on this one. Too many kids going to higher institution these days. The worst part is that most of these kids are products of Ignoramuses. Parents who can not even address a crowd. Parents who doesn't know what education entails. All they know is to keep pushing the child. This is the major reason we have so many yahoo boys in most higher institution today. Teens who buys car, furnished their houses, while their parents are poor at home. |

Gboom: That is how u will know that these e-diots making policies in this country are so far detached from the reality of the common man. The fact that their own kids don't even look for jobs but just get employed at CBN,NNPC,NUPRC and other elite government agencies automatically does not really make them understand that this senseless policy will only lead to more average Nigerian youth not getting jobs upon graduation.

Silly policy. I know young people who could have been going to uni at 14 to 15 and mentally mature in my time. No magic centres then. Yours truly's dad insisted on waiting for peers, like many parents did back then. All the old men in govt today, how did their "mental maturity" help them fix economy, insecurity, inflation, poverty? In 9ja, if some region is not dragging others down, govt is dragging the people down. At least 5 to 10 % of kids fall in the brackets of gifted people. Should it not be on individual basis? An American scientist that I have met, entered uni at 15. Although he was later disgraced due to racial nonsense later in life, he played a big role in making one of the biggest discoveries in science ever. He collected all possible awards for it. He is approaching 100 years of age as we speak. 4 Likes |

This is simply a ploy by the Muslim North to draw the South back, since majority of their people never go to school. They give their daughters aged below 15 in marriage but require Nigerians to wait till 18 before writing WAEC and JAMB. They want to discourage our children from pursuing education. This is an evil and Satanic agenda and must be resisted. If this evil decision stands the consequences are hydraheaded. This will cause millions of teens in the South who graduate from secondary school before 18 to roam the streets for years and you know the implications of that. Why APC is so devilish is beyond me. Go to other countries and see youths who graduate from University at 17-18years.Here evil APC is saying Nigerians should only write WAEC at 18. Knowing fully well that man y won't make it in one sitting. So potentially many will enter the University at 20 and above and graduate at 30. It's only in a Tinubu Presidency that you hear this sort of wickedness being the focus of a government. Even Buhari wasn't as evil. 4 Likes |
