 Everyone is tired or fatigued at some time. The major cycle in your life is work, fatigue and
rest in that order. Fatigue is characteristic of your body. It does not occur in a man-made
machine which operates as long as its parts are intact and it has fuel. But your body, a living
machine, has a definite limitation - its work continues, it gradually loses its responsiveness,
becomes less irritable, turns out less work and finally may not respond at all. The feeling of
fatigue usually expresses itself in three ways: first, there is a feeling of tiredness and a
marked desire for rest. Second, efficiency is greatly reduced. Third, there may be definite
physiological changes in your body, low blood pressure, loss of muscle tone, tremors, and
poor muscular coordination, and in other ways. Fatigue, however, may express itself in many
ways for there are many different forms of it. The fatigue of a student. For example, who has
worked all evening on a difficult lesson, is different from that of a labourer who has worked
all day at a back-breaking task, or that of a business executive who worries with the stress

52
and strain of organisation.

28
It is normal in Nigeria to use proficiency in the use of English language as a barometer for
evaluating the height of any person's educational attainment. Today, many teachers resort
quite often to the use of vernacular in the teaching of their subjects. One is often dismayed
at the incompetence of many teachers, even graduates in the use of English language.
Throughout the colonial period, up to 1960, Nigerian formal education was patterned after
4
the English system. The "accent" was in English and an educated Nigerian was one who
was only African in colour but English in thought and culture. The ability to speak English
74
fluently and if possible with an Oxford accent was the hallmark of excellence even if the
speaker was empty of thought and ideas. In those days it was a serious offence for a
secondary school boy or girl to "laugh in the vernacular". But we now swung to the other
extreme. Nigeria would say they are not English people, some would say they did not
2

specialise in English in the university. But the country has adopted the English language as
its official language, the language of instruction at schools, parliamentary proceedings,
80

conduct of official business and indeed the lingua franca. If the language is to continue to be
used, then it is imperative that we all agree on the pattern of correctness in the language so
that communication can be effective.

D. English language is the official language in Nigeria

QUESTION 86
During the colonial period, according to the passage, an educated Nigerian was one who

A. has travelled to Oxford

B. is English in thought and culture

52
C. looks African in colour
D. has the English accent

28
QUESTION 87
From the passage, it is evident that

A. 4
we need to agree on the pattern of correctness in the use of English language
74
B. fluency in English leads to empty thought and ideas
C. Nigerians would say they are not English people because they hate the language
D. Every undergraduate needs to specialise in English.
