EXAMINATION MALPRACTICES: A CAUSE FOR ALARM



Some sets of students (names withheld)  in Nigerian Institute of Journalism, Ogba-Lagos, are no longer studying their books because miracles are happening in their various examination halls. Examination malpractice has spontaneously dominated the school during exams.

In an exclusive and explicit interview with three students of the Institute, here were their point of views; An ND2 student, Ajibade Tofunmi said that "Examination malpractice is any irregular behavior exhibited by a student charged with the conduct of examination before, during or after the examination that contravenes the rules and regulations governing the conducts of the school".

Also an HND2 Student Ogunowo Samuel  added that "Though examination malpractice is neither a recent phenomenon nor peculiar to Tertiary Institutions in Nigeria, the alarming rate of increase in examination malpractice in Nigerian Institute of Journalism, Ogba-Lagos, calls for concern"

“Some lectures are the corrupt masters and mistresses of education in the campus. They are the platform of examination malpractices among the student nowadays in the school.”

 She went further in saying that "When the lecturer breaks the board, what will be the action of the student? If the lecturers fail to implement the school curriculum as required, what will the students do rather than engage themselves in examination malpractices in order to pass their examination"

"Many lecturers encourage examination malpractices because they lack the zeal to work but want to be praised for job not done" she added.

Examination malpractices lead to irreversible loss of credibility. A student that becomes noted for examination malpractices loses credibility. The implication is that certificates/documents emanating from such student will be treated with suspicion. 

Certificate is becoming valueless in this country because of this social malaise that has become inimical to educational development in the country.

Finally a Student who pleaded anonymity urge the fellow students to desist from any form of examination malpractice no matter who is urging you to be involved. What you sow today, you must reap tomorrow whether good or evil. If you sow the wind, you will reap the whirlwind.

FEMALES GO AND LEARN HOW TO COOK

Femi Joseph One of the mother’s important responsibilities is to teach their female children how to cook, take care of their husband and make their homes. Whether you (female) want to be married or not, and not spending all time teaching you the art of Make-up, Bead making, Gele tying or going for Owambe (parties) every weekend, don’t say its because you’re surrounded by domestic staff and super-domestic mother who would rather do thing herself. Mothers on the other hand are also advised to send their female children to Catering School without wasting time during a short holiday because it will be better for them (one way or the other), even if your mother is dead and there are no aunties around you to teach you, what in the world happened to Google? You can google up virtually every food that exists and learn how to cook them, all the time you spend pouting and posing and taking selfies could be wisely spent on this.
