In response to a video that shows individuals writing professional exams for others, activist and commentator Mahdi Shehu said Nigeria lacks the moral authority to denounce such behavior while political figures defend forged and fraudulent credentials. Shehu ridiculed what he called the system’s hypocrisy in a post that was posted on X on Tuesday along with the video.
Exam impersonation, he contended, is merely a reflection of the greater decay in Nigerian politics and society. In a nation such as Nigeria, this media trial is self-incriminating. Shehu wrote.
He drew attention to the fact that some politicians have falsified credentials that courts have subsequently deemed authentic, presented phony results, and even made false academic claims using certificates from nonexistent institutions.
He claims that honoring leaders with dubious educational backgrounds has become a national and international disgrace. He asserted that it is impossible to experience the sweetness and freshness of a fried fish whose head was rotten in the water.
He emphasized that the suspects’ actions in the video reflect the type of nation that Nigerians have built.
Shehu added cynically that those implicated in the exam malpractice scandal ought to receive the GCON national honor “for a job well done.”
