Why would they not fail?
They are always busy sexting, texting, chatting and watching Nollywood & Blue movies….  24/7.

How can they pass when they no longer spell words correctly and everytime spending hours in Facebooking and watching porn movie online instead of reading. Students of nowadays abbreviated everything as thus and most of the words mean something else:
Thing = tin
Great = gr8
Father = fada
Mother = moda
,,,,,@ericwilly,, I agree with you, , I hv warned one of nephews about abbreviations wich might lead to exam disaster but all to no avail, ,, dis is just the Genesis b4 it will reach to malachi, hmmmm, , trouble de oooo to our youths
