Dear Nigerians, the reasons for mass failure of our teenagers in public exams are not far fetched.

1 FACEBOOK, YAHOO, TWITTER, 2GO, ESKIMI, MOBO,
BADOO, SMOOTHIE
and generally browsing on the internet instead of reading their books.

2 ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE and EUROPEAN FOOTBALL LEAGUES, it is easy for an average Nigerian teenager to know the names of all Chelsea players but same youths cannot tell you the square root 25 in mathematics. Worse still is that these days instead of seeing inscriptions like UNIVERISTY or SCHOLARS on the exercise books, what you see are pictures of Paloma, Drogba, Beyonce, Omotola etc.

3 DSTV, Home video and african movie magic, watching television and films endlessly. European champions league, English premiership, Barca, Blues, Chelsea, MAN-U etc

4 GSM and BLACKBERRY, the average nigerian teenager uses the latest and expensive gsm phones just to show off that they belong,when they are actually nothing.

5 GSM TEXT LANGUAGE, I will not be suprised to see students write words like ur(for YOUR), 2moro( For tomorrow) in their EXAM sheets

6 QUEST FOR CHEAP FAME AND WEALTH, The goverment, electronic media (tv and radio) and companies have not been helpful at all. The 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 world,but we still remember MOTHER THERESA),they want to win IDOLS WEST
AFRICA, they want to be in NOLLYWOOD, they want to be 2-FACE, they want to win maltina street dance ,they want to win star-quest and GULDER ULTIMATE SEARCH. Warning is that wealth gotten by vanity shall DIMINISH.

7 The new craze of TALENT SHOWS: Suddenly The only talents our youths now have are music,dancing,acting and stand up comedies, they no longer have talents for maths, physics and entrepreneurism.

8. Most of them just wanna be like me
