“I’ve hated exams since I was a child. Studying Law just made the hate a whole lot deeper. All my courses are 4 units so I know if I fail, I’m finished. When I sit in the exam hall, it seems like everything just goes away and I’m in a blank slate until I get myself again.”
“One time in 100-level, I looked at the questions and assumed I didn’t know anyone so I started crying. Nobody saw me, and I just cried for a long time. When I was tired, I stopped and did the exam, I didn’t fail.”
“The most dramatic thing I did during exams was when I wanted to write Contract Law. I sat in my room on the day of the exams and started crying. But that wasn’t enough, so I broke my chain. But even that wasn’t enough, so I cut my hair for the first time since I was a child. When I got into the exam hall, I cried some more, and then I wrote my exam. I didn’t fail.”
What would you do if the Nigerian government blocked all social media apps for days because of some troublemakers?
Well, in Ethiopia, the most embarrassing exam leak happened when questions to an end-of-year exam which was to be taken by 254,000 university students leaked all over the internet in May.
And like typical Nigerian parents, the Ethiopian government blocked all the popular social media sites for few days, as per the students like pressing their phones too much.
Na wa o! Instead of them to tackle the exam malpractice problem directly.
Technology didn’t kuku stop people from cheating in exams before Twitter and Instagram were created.
But sha, can you imagine the Nigerian government taking this sort of ‘disciplinary action’ on its citizens? Very possible, right?
Nigerian students when they see leaked questions on the internet…
However, Ethiopians aren’t keeping quiet, the ones who currently have access to social media outside the country have condemned this action.
This is nothing but an unconstitutional State of Emergency. The Ethiopian government have no legal basis or… https://t.co/ISMZTd9v8U
Almost everyone can relate to how strict our lecturers and professors can be sometimes. But Twitter user, @Nnenna shared pictures that prove otherwise.
She shared pictures of this professor of a university in Cote D’Ivoire backing a child with a wrapper.
According to her, the thoughtful lecturer decided to help one of his students look after her crying baby so she could concentrate on her exams.
He’s basically the kindest professor we’ve seen because…
When you bring your child to an exam hall, Nigerian lecturers be like…
How they look at you when your child starts crying.
You can’t even beg them to help hold your child when they’ve not finished holding your CGPA for you.
We hope this child’s mother aces her paper after her professor went an extra mile to help her focus.
The West African Examinations Commissions (WAEC), the major examination body for West African secondary school finalists is currently under fire.
As a result of an anti-corruption crack down on the examination bodies in Nigeria, a financial discrepancy was discovered by the minister of finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun
And while Nigerians were stilll processing that information, these tweets dropped on Twitter.
This NGO requested the list of best student in each state in Nigeria from WAEC for Scholarship. See WAEC's response. pic.twitter.com/ACWLFHRHr5
As expected, the tweet generated massive reactions from Nigerians. They mentioned how convenient it was for WAEC to announce the failure of the candidates at no cost.
