A video clip showing a primary school teacher in Edo State, Mrs. Augusta Odemwingie, who failed a reading test conducted by Governor Adams Oshiomhole, has continued to generate a debate on YouTube.
The clip is currently the most viewed out of the 68 videos available on the state government’s YouTube channel. It has attracted about 51,000 viewers as at the time of writing this report.
In the video — which is also a subject of debate on various social networking sites — the teacher could not
read her own sworn affidavit during a teachers’ verification exercise, though she was alleged to have spent over 20 years on the job.
At a point, the woman pronounced ‘registered’ as ‘registrated,’ ‘declaration of age’ as ‘decreation of age,’ while she struggled to pronounce words written in the sworn affidavit that she allegedly submitted as part of her credentials.
Oshiomhole kept correcting her pronunciation errors, and then, he paused for a while and asked, “Who is the teacher?” Unable to restrain herself from laughing over the development, Odemwingie replied the governor, saying, “You are the teacher, sir.’’
There has been reactions from people on this. Gistplaza.Com took time to see that despite many insults I still discover few people kicked against the act calling it barbaric.
Below are the comments on YouTube. More of the blames are against Gov. Oshiomole and the failed educational system
