Seven (7) Reasons for the Worsening Mass Failure in WAEC, NECO and JAMB 1. FACEBOOK, WHATSAPP, 2GO, YAHOO, TWITTER, MYSPACE and generally browsing on the internet rather than reading their books. 2. ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE, UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE and EUROPEAN FOOTBALL LEAGUES. It is easy for an average Nigerian youth to tell you the names of all Chelsea or Man Utd players but same youth cannot tell you the square root 25 in mathematics. Worse still is the fact that rather than seeing inscriptions like UNIVERSITY or SCHOLARS printed on common Nigerian exercise books, what you see are pictures of Messi, Mikel, Drogba, Beyonce etc 3. DSTV, Home video and African movie magic, watching television and Nollywood, Hollwood and Bollywood films endlessly. 4. HANDSETS/PHONES: An average Nigerian youth uses the latest GSM phones just to show off that they belong, when they are actually nothing. 5. SOCIAL MEDIA TEXT LANGUAGE: Dont be surprised to see students write words like ur (for YOUR), 2moro, 2mao (for TOMORROW) in their exam sheets. 6. QUEST FOR CHEAP FAME AND WEALTH, The government, electronic media (tv and radio), coporate organisations, telecom operators and other companies have not been helpful at all. An average Nigerian youth especially the girls want to be Silver Birds Most Beautiful Girl and get cheap money and fame (Nobody has remembered all the previous Miss Worlds, but humanity still remembers Mother Theresa), they want to win IDOLS WEST AFRICA, they want to be in NOLLYWOOD, they want to be TWO-FACE, they want to win maltina street dance, they want to win starquest and GULDER ULTIMATE SEARCH. 7. THE NEW CRAZE OF TALENT SHOWS IN NIGERIA: Suddenly, the only talents Nigerian youths now have are music, dancing, acting and stand up comedies. They no longer have talents for maths, physics and entrepreneurship etc -From Paul Leramo.
