  1. Why wouldn't they fail when social media has become people's major pre-occupation. Check out the type of pidging English flowing with trepidation,mien and gusto from the mouths of undergraduates today. Broken English is now our lingua franc a and Students, teachers and Broadcasters have even taken it to another high when you hear the type of broken English flowing from their mouths like water.Radio commentaries are now run in pidgin in some stations.stations. What more pinging and Facebook have taken the place of studies as some students even fiddle with their phones pinging and messaging while lectures and classes are going on, Others have their MP3s on and enjoying music on Bluetooth ear piece while lectures are going on. Is that how they will make fantastic results. The truth is that it is only the beginning of what is to come if nothing is done about the general rot in the educational system . People now parade various certificates and degrees that at the end of the day says nothing about the competence of the holder.Others simply go and acquire a Toronto certificate even several teachers in some state have been sacked for having fake certificates.certificates. In fact, the situation is really bad.
