I am saying that people can learn scientific principles in their native tongue. So a teacher who can communicate in a native dialect can teach in the native tongue of the child.

TheGoodJoe:


Stop all these, families are going through pain and they are praying for their children's return.

Things like these can deflect attention from them while the families and friends go through pain.

We need to put pressure on the government to help reduce the pains of the families.

The teachers will obviously help them communicate their answers. That is why there is the word "CHALLENGE" in Educationally Challenged.

It I a challenge for the students and teachers.

Ndifereke:


The embolden is where you are getting it wrong. People's issue is not that Amina can't communicate PROPERLY in English, but that she can't communicate AT ALL in English, not even in Pidgin. Two different scenarios.

Topiipii:

I am quoting you because your name indicates that you're either from Akwa-Ibom or Crossriver. I served in A/Ibom, Adadia in Uruan LGA and there were students who can't speak English at all, I taught three subjects one of which is Physics and during the exam they didn't know what to write (you're free to doubt this though, but there's only one Sec. Sch. in Adadia if you want to confirm).
My point is this: they will sit for the exam because their results from the previous classes were padded in order for them to gain promotion, but they will not pass even with cheating most times because they won't be able to write anything meaningful (sitting for an exam and passing it are two different things); this is the reason we usually have massive failures in the rural areas. States like the one described above are referred to as Educationally Less Developed States (ELDS) for a reason.

Joe save us the crap. U are really out to defend this scam. Who paid u to do so and for how much?

TheGoodJoe:
These people are really joking with the lives of Nigerians. Imagine this man saying they engaged shootouts with no body count or arrest. What were they shooting, blank bullets?

It is baffling that the President is yet to speak and condemn the attacks. This makes whatever integrity President Buhari has worthless.

Very soon, some people's Cup will be full.

One Day, Bush Meat Will catch the hunter.

TheGoodJoe:
When the Government is not ready to defend the people, the people will defend themselves.

President Buhari, be a President. Be the Soldier who swore to protect the lives of Nigerians. Condemn this publicly.

TheGoodJoe:


There are many Educationally Challenged people in Nigeria who can not communicate properly in English or Pidgin in SS3.

I remember in my secondary school where many of us scored very high to gain admission. A lot of Northern boys came with full scholarships with cut off marks not up to 1/4 of our scores.

There are remote areas that need a lot of educational assistance. It I not the kids fault but the absolute neglect from our so called leaders.

Iykopeeee:
My only question is; how come a 13yr old sat for WAEC? Can anybody break it down pls?

kaka74:


Bro see understand this I studied abroad russia to be precise it jst like english dey start teaching u from primary school nah common abc nd d rest its all part of dem and its the official language, dey learn every subject in dat language jst like we do with english be sincere how can you teach physics in hausa are u genius ? Won't you use a textbook? Dat textbook will it be written in hausa? Reason am

Ndifereke:


Unlike those Educationally Challenged people, Amina can't communicate AT ALL. Big difference.

TheGoodJoe:


By now, you should have known is not a scam. After CNN visited the town, showed the school and the destruction done. We are still talking scam. The CNN interviewed some of the families and shared their family pictures and you are still talking scam.

Thank God every body does not reason this way.

boujaye:
You are typing crap, are you saying WAEC is fake and has no integrity?

Ndifereke:

You are missing the point, bro. Those students you taught that you opined can't write anything meaningful can at LEAST understand ordinary Pidgin language. Amina can't write, speak or even understand English Language talk more of Pidgin. These are two different scenarios.

omakay:


THIS IS A SPECIAL KIND OF SCAM.

There was actually a raid in the school by the boko haram sect.
About 300 girls were abducted.

But where the scam lies is that THERE WAS KNOWLEDGE OF THE ATTACK even before it happened.
It's like organising a bank robbery and also being a victim of the robbery at the same time.

APC/GMB/AntiJonathan Peeps planned the whole thing using BokoHaram as their tool.
Now the whole aim has being acheived and all these drama is only a CLEANUP EXERCISE.

Kai My guy, you failed me big time with this post. Simple reasoning will answer your questions.

There are northern sections that are educationally challenged and they do not operate educationally the way other sections do.

NYSC former members have verified that there are a lot of SS3 students in the North who can not speak English.

I am yet to see a concrete report that says Amina can not speak English at all. She is more comfortable in her native tongue.

If the army shows a hundred Aminas dead, does it prove that this girl is not Amina?

She was identified by members of her community who knew her. She talked in the market Square. The Vice Principal of the school described her as a quiet and humble girl.

Her mum is with her. Yet you are spreading what I do not understand.

This is one of your weakest posts.

TheGoodJoe:


The Hausas in the educationally challenged regions have been coping and they will continue to cope. They have their means to test the understanding of the principles being thought.

Just as a Chinese man who can not speak English can understand physics principles or a German who can not speak or write in English can understand Chemical laws and theories.

So is your problem the educational challenges some Northern communities face or is your problem the fact that a girl kidnapped, tortured and raped is found?

Thank God Amina Ali is alive and found.

#WelcomeBackAmina

did they ask her question in pidgin? for she to answer in pidgin,

so who is to be blamed for the probable scam

I hardly comment on Nairaland by I think you need not explain further as I have observed a lot of people here are "set in their ways", wisdom is profitable but sadly only to a reasonable few!

cramjones:
While I believe that Chibok girls were kidnapped, in addition to hundreds more that the media never really focused on as the sensation that met the Chibok abduction, I have reasons to believe the girl being paraded might just be a scam to justify all the foreign aid that have been poured in for their rescue. Or a political tool to increase favorability ratings in this trying times. I hope it is real, but there are pores in this narrative to make one have some degree of doubt. Here are two reasons why I think we should all ask real and factual questions.


1. According to the official report, Amina and her colleagues were in school to sit for physics WAEC exams. She was an SS III student. The Amina that was "rescued" can cannot speak in English. She is being translated even when English is spoken to her. Do we have a Hausa version of physics? Was she really a student? Or is she simply a fake?

2. Two years ago, someone whol looks exactly like Amina was paraded by the military with a bomb strapped around her, as one of the child suicide bomber Boko Haram had sent to cause havoc. Is this just a coincidence or is that girl really Amina 2 years younger that the Amina that resurfaced two years later as a rescued girl. Kindly examine the picture and make your conclusions. What are the odds in a country of 180 million people that two girls connected with Boko Haram would look exactly alike? (Refer to the pictures)

3. Think about it, in a rescue operation of about 200 girls, is it possible that just one can be rescued at a time? I understand they maybe in splinter groups, but the army rescuing just one is very very doubtful. Amina Ali was kidnapped no doubt, but was she even a student? Was she just rescued now. Why does she look exactly like the girl kidnapped by Boko Haram that was strapped with a bomb?

There have been so many scams with Boko Haram. From a few individuals stealing 2.1billion $ to Generals carting away millions of USD in private jets, to Mama Peace becoming a Nollywood sensation on her "there is God o" mantra. I just hope that this is not another scam.
