Some days ago i watched a video posted by Channel Television,Lagos
on a visit by the Edo state Governor Adams Oshiomole during an exercise to screen over a thousand teachers
involved in fraud of falsifying documents to get into service at Asalogun
Primary School in Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area of Edo state.
I was so happy when i saw
a woman who claimed to be a teacher that was unable to read a simple affidavit
of decleration of age !!! My happiness
is not based on the fact that this woman was caught frauding the state government...far
from that am happy that its shows glaring to the whole world that Nigeria is
indeed a very corrupt nation on earth
Secondlly, it also
crystal clear that a lot is wrong with are system. I remember in the 70s while
i was in primary school, the Inspector of Education are always visited my
primary school then in my village, Ijebu-Ife un-schedule....to look at the
performance of the teachers, the school environment, the pupils performances,
and the hygienically of the whole in general.
I still remember vividly,
that all teachers do submitted a NOTE OF LESSON to the Headmaster’s office every
day for verification on what he or she will teach the pupil everyday of the
week till the end of the term and year....but i dont think that is obtainable
any more. Teachers are now petty traders, they have turned the school premises into
a mini-supermarket where buying and selling are the order of the day.
I am so happy again to
watched this vedio in the sense that it shows that , there are a lot of collaborators
that are need to fish out...one of them is the Head-master or Headmistress of
that particular school, who never detect this woman or covering this woman up
since, the Inspector of the Education in that locality, and all the pannel that
interviewed this woman then before she was employed....all these people are
also guilty of defrauding the state and waste tax-payers money on wasted
effort.
A situation that a
teacher of 20 years of experinced cannot identified I from 1(ONE), pronounced JUDICIARY....judishi!!!......unable
to pronounced distinctively....Christian, Citizen of Federal Republic of
Nigeria and mumbled it up as ....Christian city of whatever!!!!
What really baffled me is
when the governor asked her to re-read one paragraph and as a typical Nigerian
that always answerd the question with question....and she asked ‘’MAKE I READ
AM FRESH?’’ a teacher that is speaking a pidgin-English in the presence of the
first citizen of the state....and she even laughed!!!
However, hope is not yet lost,
but the falsifying of documents are not only peculiar to teaching proffesion
alone.....all the state governments in Nigeria need to carry-out this excersice in all departments to fish out
the perpetrators and their collaborators, and employed the capable hands that
can move our country to next level, Abi make i say am again?
