5. Read the passage below carefully and answer the questions on it.
“Water Meandering”! The mention of this topic usually takes me retrospectively to my secondary school days. It also reminds me of our geography class. We were a set of three streams: A, B and C, and I see myself in our class with my classmates well seated. The subject we never liked was geography.
This was quite surprising to our Guidance Counsellor who worked hard to ensure that most of us offered geography up to the School Certificate Level. Not only our Guidance Counsellor, our school Principal was also surprised at our attitude towards geography.
He had always encouraged us to choose geography as one of our subjects for the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE). He once boasted: “In the near future, I shall travel by air with one of you seated as my pilot.” We had received this encouragement with thunderous ovation, but our old geography teacher became the spoiler.
Our old geography teacher killed in us the zeal of becoming future pilots, or, would I say, he destroyed our urge of becoming useful citizens of our fatherland.
When this teacher left and Mr. Udenkwo was posted to our school to handle geography, we realized that “Water Meandering” was not the only topic in geography.
In fact, we discovered that “Water Meandering” was not even a topic on its own. But before this time, the only topic we knew in geography but which we could not really explain, was “Water Meandering.”
Also, with the coming of Mr. Udenkwo, as young boys and girls, we began to ask questions about the competence of our old geography teacher. From these questions, we realized that our old geography teacher was not a subject specialist after all.
We realized too that this teacher only had the Teachers’ Grade II Certificate. Whether he studied geography at the Teachers’ Training College (TTC) or not, was another thing we could not uncover. On the other hand, we discovered that Mr. Udenkwo had a bachelor’s degree in geography.
But before Mr. Udenkwo was posted to our school, much harm had already been done. So, all his efforts to bring us back to the subject proved abortive. Only one of us heeded his entreaties.
To demonstrate his ingenuity in the subject, Mr. Udenkwo took his only ‘apostle’ from the scratch. When we finally took the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE), surprisingly, this student made a distinction in geography. Today, this same student is a professor of geography.
Our story is typical of what obtains in most secondary schools in Nigeria; many teachers are made to handle subjects they do not major in, thereby “killing” the morale of their subject specialists should be made to handle their areas of specialty, especially at the School Certificate Level.
(a) According to the passage, why did the students hate geography? (2 marks)
(b) Why was the school Guidance Counsellor astonished at the
behaviour of the students? (2 marks)
(c) What did the students receive with thunderous ovation? (1 mark)
(d) What is ironic about the principal’s statement? (2 marks)
(e) “… who had worked hard …”
(i) What grammatical name is given to this expression?
(ii) What is its function in the sentence?
(f) Why were the students compelled to investigate the old geography teacher?
(2 marks)
(g) How, according to the writer, could students’ performance be enhanced in subject areas?
(2 marks)
(h) Find one word or phrase which is nearest in meaning to and can at the same time replace each of the following words as used in the passage.
(i) retrospectively
(ii) thunderous
(iii) zeal
(iv) specialist
(v) entreaties
(vi) scratch
One mark for each correct answer, i.e. 1 mark x 6: = 6 marks
SECTION C
SUMMARY [30 MARKS]
You are advised to spend about 30 minutes on this section.
6. Read the passage below carefully and answer the questions on it.
When Nigeria returned from the London 2012 Olympic Games without a single medal, the refrain among the country’s sports administrators was that the lessons of the bad outing would serve the nation well in going forward.
Never again was the general cry from the Nigerian public, who felt that the country with a youth population of over 70 million deserved better than a barren show at the world’s biggest stage.
The London 2012 Olympic Games was the first competition since the 1988 Games in Seoul that Nigeria would participate in without winning a single medal.
Following the outcry that trailed the poor performance, the then president convened a sports summit where all the experts pointed at poor preparation and low morale as the reasons for the country’s shameful performance in London.
After the summit, the general consensus was that for Nigeria to get it right again, the country must drop the fire brigade approach to preparations for major competitions. There was also the agreement that preparations for future Olympic Games should start early and thus many youth programmes should be lined up by the National Sports Commission (NSC) to nurture and produce champions.
However, shortly after the summit, the then sports minister was replaced. Thus the programme and the path to success laid by experts at the summit were put aside. First to go was the Nigerian Academicals Sports Committee (NASCOM), which was supposed to/ champion the youth development programme expected to lead the country to the podium in subsequent international competitions.
Following that, was the total blackout of the majority of the federations from international competitions which were supposed to help the athletes gauge their standard, as well as ease the upcoming stars on to the world stage.
The reason for the neglect of the federations was lack of funds, but surprisingly, the resources always managed to be available whenever it is football programme. With the exit of the last administration, most of the sports federations heaved a sigh of relief, believing that the new regime would treat all the federations equally.
However, such expectations have been hampered by the continued apathy to the needs of the Nigerian sports in an Olympic year. To feature at the Olympic Games, athletes are expected to go through qualifiers with their mates from other countries.
Absence from the qualifiers means that the athlete or team has automatically been ruled out of the games. So it has emerged that, Nigeria may not feature in some of its core events due to its athletes’ inability to participate in some championships that served as qualifiers for the Olympics.
(a) In two sentences, one for each, state the reasons advanced at the sports summit for the poor performance of Nigeria at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
(10 marks)
(b) In two sentences, one for each, state two resolutions that were reached at the sports summit.
(10 marks)
(c) In two sentences, one for each, state the developments which hindered the implementation of the resolutions reached at the summit.
(10 marks)
