Education is not taken seriously in Nigeria. The problem is with the government. They have no plan, no program, no interest in education. They would rather send their kids and relatives overseas to study instead of fixing our educational system with good programs. JAMB / WAEC are not supposed to be the only entrance to the University. There should be other qualification exams to act as substitutes like in other parts of the world especially in Europe and America.
