It is quite unfortunate
and beyond pitiable pity that the educational standard in Nigeria is
depreciating by the day. I have heard well meaning Nigerians blame the
government for this but the truth is that the educationists (teachers,
lecturers, deans, provosts, rectors and vice chancellors) and Nigerians are also to be blamed.
The other
day, I read online how the best graduating student of the University of
Calabar (UNICAL) went home with the sum of ten thousand naira (#10, 000). As if that
wasn't enough; days later, I read how the best graduating student of the
University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) was given the sum of #250 as a prize. For Christ
sake, these are persons who had spent years of sleepless nights and hard work
trying to make themselves useful to the society. Rewarding them that way would make the younger generation lose appetite for education.
On the
contrary, some persons will spend three months somewhere, playing immoral games
and are given millions of naira at the end. Surprisingly, you will even see
prominent members of the society eulogizing and promoting these persons for
their actions. Something you will never see them do for a best graduating
student of any tertiary institution in the country. Nigeria, which way? Well,
let's leave that for another day.
Today, I will
be presenting to you a list of English graduates who graduated with first class
and second class (upper division) from the Niger Delta University, Bayelsa
State. In the School of Arts and Humanities, they are known as readers. They have read
lots of books and novels and above all, proven to the white man that his
language is well understood by them. "Dem try sha. To study English no be
beans oh." This list comprises English graduates from 2008/2009 - 2014/2015 academic sessions.

Although English is not our mother tongue, these persons tried their best to write and speak the language even more than their native languages. With their results, I am very sure they possess higher degree of competence in the language though there might be some performance errors.
They deserve more than this. Congrats to them!
