Your arguements isnt true, i was even praying my students in kebbi state understood pigin back then as a corper, u need to have a tleast a formal education before you speak pigin.

His argument is very true. Anyone can speak pidgin without going to school just as anyone can speak hausa.

Hausa is the lingua franca of the north while pidgin is the lingua franca of the south. Standard British English is our official language.

Almand:

I still repeat not in the east. Those who attend schools among them go there to learn. you can't rule out some few dull ones through. Is like me telling you those in Ibadan can not speak good English simply because in my secondary school than, we were still being taught what is pronoun in SS3

@ the highlighted, if that is the case, what makes u think that all the classrooms in the north are as displayed in the report? Haven't u seen worse cases in the East?

zionmade:

Am ashamed that am in d same country with Hausas. I suffered in north for common bike man to carry me to my destination he will take me round d whole town because he cant even understand drop me for park.

U northerners are too backward. Even the Hausa teachers cannot speak good english talk less of d students.

For our Bible we memorize only in sunday schools unlike ur people dat spend from 2pm to 8pm memorizing koran everyday. And at d end of d day they still do all sorts of evil
Western education is not for northerners. NYSC should stop punishing us

This is the dumbest comment av heard in my life.
When u are in Rome u behave like the Romans. U should have made efforts to learn hausa.
Hausa is the lingua franca of the north just as Pidgin is for the south. Besides in most parts of yoruba land, u must learn to speak yoruba to get by everyday.

Why didn't u just redeployed when u knew u were not ready to learn the hausa language which is the lingua franca of 17 states of northern Nigeria?

You are the one who was generalizing, though the situation is pronounced in the north, there are schools in every part of this country whose story is not different from the op's

Bia Abokina i told u before that u re a fool. And u re here still exposing ur foolishness. Why dnt NYSC post only hausa graduates there to teach ur illiterate brothers and stop punishing us by subjecting us to teaching bunches of Ba turanchis. When u were in south how many times did u hear dem tell u dat they dont understand English. have u heard Anaghi m anu ihe ina asu before. Anyway u can hardly differentiate most Hausa graduates from Hausa illiterates. If u want to know wat is paining me. I just came back from sokoto. God help me punish NYSC

Tell that to the NYSC. Northernerns are not the owners of NYSC, u should have redeployed when u knew that u were not ready to learn the lingua franca of the northern half of Nigeria.
When you are in Rome, learn to behave like the Romans, as long as all southernerns cannot communicate in standard british english which is the official working language of Nigeria, then u really have no right to fault any northerner for not speaking British English.
Pidgin is not our official language.

WINNERMENTALITY:

Bro am not here to argue with u who speaks correct english or not but what am saying in essence is that your people literacy level is too low because your type prefer selling them to the socalled english south u stated as English literate whereas they are just good as your local champions that believes that Nigeria starts and end in Hausa land with Hausa language.

Just to correct your ignorance. Hausa language is not used in Hausa land only.
Hausa land just covers only the northwest. Most parts of the northeast and northcentral are not hausa land, they belong to different ethnic groups who have all adopted hausa as their lingua franca.
So hausa serves as the lingua franca for about half of Nigeria and it's good you learn it if you ever want to cross over from the southern half of Nigeria or just remain in your southern half of the country.

Almand:

I agree with the emboldened, but that's not what the op is saying.

that corper is a total fool! olodo rabata!

he thinks he is creating awareness for them! if only he knows the mentality of an average aboki!

to them this guy has insulted them! lets wait and hear how the story ends!

they will track him and slaughter him like ram!

he thinks the other corpers tht goes there do their service jeje and go back home are mumu!

he will take his eyes and see his ears for this rubbish he did!

he doesnt know aboki mentality is totally different from ours!


ode!

Stupidity at it's peak.

Likewise most northernerns in the south have to tread carefully too due to the high numbers of human ritualists, kidnappers, 419ers and armed robbers all over.

Gbam. 10/10. Say the truth and the truth shall set you free.

menwongo:


Don't be decisive any person speaking pidgin can understand English.
Am from south south, served at Benue state then. The north is zero when it comes to education!

This is wrong. Not everyone who speaks pidgin can understand Standard British English well.
Benue state has higher literacy rates than many southern states.
I also served in the southwest and most of them there spoke only yoruba.

Of course. Don't mind all these southern hypocrites. They always condemn the north as if their region is as safe and free from negative vices as the United Kingdom or Switzerland, not knowing that they have some of the worst in their areas.
Every region has it's negative vices.

Where did this one come from. Who gives a poo about learning Hausa. U must be anoda so called graduate.U arent ashamed dat ur northern brodas have Hausa as their lingua franca dats stupidity. So i shud learn d useless language and teach dem mathematics with it. pls get out of here

See u talking of redeployment because its very easy for u guys to redeploy back to ur desertous north afterall our kids in d south are d ones to even teach u guys dat call urselves corpers. Imagine an Hausa man teaching my kid. Rubbish

gamargu:

Typical southerner arrogant beyond measure yet completely ignorant about life. You think you are better than northerners yet whenever we meet in school, we always beat your crappy ass. What do you know about the north someone who has been to only a single state suddenly becomes and expert about how things are in the north. You are minuscule speck in a far bigger world, what have you achieved in your life that has made you so arrogant

I laugh in swahili. Ask universities in north to make admission fair u guys wouldnt even get admission even in ur own state schools. who doesnt know dat most SS3 hausa science students can state Charle's law. In waec afterall all d help and expos d worst 6 performing states are in North

Pidgin is not our official language.

Dane argument, how can you compare pidgin with your hausa language. Now I understand why Nigerians Never tally.
Pidgin in countries like Sierelone has been adopted as formal language and English visitors needs to learn it inorder to communicated fluently with the people.
With your Argument it means Nigeria can never adopt pidgin as formal language cos folks like you believe Pidgin is to South while Hausa is to North.

Like an intensive and unkempt chicken pen. Tell me what are they going to learn in an environment like that? How to be moronic zombies,of course.

Nigerian education lacks common sense and it is the core reason why it is unproductive.

I sympathise with the children for the system they were born into but NORTH ISSUE NORTH SOLUTION

nextprince:


I have come across corpers from the south who cannot piece up few words to make a simple correct sentence. It will interest u to know that majority of nlders are from the south and if their level of education is anything to go by, hmm. There was a corp member then at my orientation camp who was busy telling one of the soldiers "oga I want go sh_it". And that is the only way she could express herself. When she wanted to correct herself, she said " oga I want to go and sh_it", can u imagine? And that same 'graduate' will be somewhere saying the north is educationally backward. Abeg I no fit laff jawe.

Yes you may be telling the truth. But most of the northern states have been to is a sorry story.
I don't want to argue here because I understand the situation there: Students travel miles by legs to school, to and fro. On coming back they need to help their father in farming. Where is the time to read. Northern state have large land mass.
After all the stress they ain't gonna read trust me.

Deicide:
They have money for war but not for Education... If Nigeria gets in conflict with another country and War starts thats When you would know Nigeria has money. Trillios will just be poping out from no where

IN THAT CASE, I NEVER WANT TO KNOW IF NIGERIA HAS MONEY OR NOT

Brother! Lets not argue. I know what I saw when help most of they to fill Npower application online

Those kids you're seeing already have dia names on payrolls at different ministries.
I just love my days at koko besse,kebbi no stress service.

The children of the government officials and politicians that stole plenty money go to proper schools.

Most of the comments show that there's no hope for the nation.

Instead of talking about ways all Nigerian children can have equal access to quality education, the foolish "future leaders" have managed to turn it into a tribal issue.

I can't believe some idiöts think one must learn Hausa to teach their children. Hausa, like any other primitive local language, simply doesn't have the vocabulary for STEM education.

Bro, I served in the East and I will tell u that many SS students can't speak English either.
Meanwhile, don't mistake pidgin for English. Pidgin is predominantly spoken in the East and as far as I'm concerned, it is vernacular just the way Hausa language is.

East is far better. They speak pidgin English in the East. You ll agree with me that its easier to communicate with someone that speak pidgin than Hausa.

Somehow they ll still get the message you are trying to pass across.

No wonder we have the kind of Buhari and Solomon Dalong as decision makers in Nigeria affairs...
Itz easier 2 deceive a stark

I did my service in a JSS in a village called Karaye in Maiyama LGA of Kebbi state.

The mathematics I teach JSS3 students goes thus:

1+ 1 = 2

3* 2 = 6

They will be asking me what is the meaning of "plus" and *. But they had good learning materials like desk, exercise and textbooks, etc.

Maiyama here too. Maiyama town.

lirusehn:
i tried talking to a JSS3 student the other day and she was like 'ba English'.
Awon olodo oshi

u re talking of Jss3, I am currently serving in Jigawa St, Over 80 of ss3, ss2, n, ss1 don't understand English. #TeamBaTuruci.
And their Hausa indigent teachers are the cause, they re not helping matters at all, they use Hausa to teach them even English language.
They are just customised to understand only Hausa Lang.
if u ask them a question, they will be like "Uncle walahi, ba turuci"
So pathetic!

What u said z true Bc I am from East, but u can't compare the ratio of those that don't understand English in East to that of d North, I'm currently serving in Jigawa St.
Up to 80% of the students are #TeamBaTuruci, though some do understand but can't speak, They indigent teachers are the cause, they customised them to only understand Hausa Lang, as they even use Hausa to teach them English language.
When I asked d principal if he can enforce the use of English language in classes, he just acted like a politician trying to impress d people with promises, while he lacked the political will to implement/fulfil them.
Hausa z an Official Lang here in d North.
Some state owned high institutions, even use it atimes.

Guy, i know you are trying to help but left for me i will advice you pull down your name and state code. Cos when the chips are down, NYSC may deny and blame you. This country is a joke

You are not better than the northernerns, so shove your bitterness up your ass.
Dont step your stupid foot on thr northern half of Nigeria if u know you are not ready to flow with the lingua franca of the region. NYSC or whatever notwithstanding.
If i want to go to the south i make sure i speak or understand at least pidgin, yoruba or Igbo because majority of southernerns do not understand standard british english.
Coconut heads!

See this ignoramus.
The British broadcasting corporation (BBC), Radio france, German deutschewelle and other international radio stations broadcast in hausa because hausa is well spoken by over 150 million people in 5 different countries of Africa as a first language and lingua franca, so it is not just comparable to pidgin but it is better than pidgin.

Pidgin is a structureless language which does not have it's own writing system in Nigeria.
Almost half of Nigeria on the other hand use hausa as their lingua franca, even down to Ghana, Niger, Cameroon, Benin republic, Sudan, Chad, hausa is spoken and understood.
