Calling a Spade a Spade!
I saw this and decided to share… please drop a
comment after reading.
There has been a great deal of complaints about
the 2016 CBT. The complaints being that quite a
few students did not pass the exams as
expected.
We live in a country where, unfortunately,
students and their parents alike want the easy
way out of everything:
a) They would prefer handouts to copying notes.
b) They would prefer reading short notes to
reading the full novel for an exam.
c) They would prefer to hire mercenaries to pass
their exams.
d) They would much rather have someone do
term papers and group assignments.
In trying to find the reason for the outcry on the
past 2016 JAMB CBT two main reasons are
deducible.
The first reason I deduce based on the
complaints is that instructions, for the most part,
were not followed. As with most exams, there
are instructions and we need to adhere to them
throughout the exam.
The advantage of the computer test is that with
the computer what you input is what you get.
In other words, the test will not act contrary to
what you ask it to do. Going further in these
tests I really advise we stick to the rules.
Secondly, and the saddest of all reasons is that
we are upset that we cannot "fix" the tests.
There have been quite a few owners of CBT
centres and parents complaining bitterly. The
truth is our children MUST read to pass. Why
would JAMB be blamed? The syllabus is there;
past questions are there; your children's schools
or lessons are there so where is JAMB in all
this.
The suspicion is that many of us did not know
that: no student had the same sequence of
questions. What candidate 100 had as his/her
number 2 question could be candidate 090's
number 50 question. Light bulb moment… If you
(hypothetically) decided to stand at candidate
001's computer and start calling out the
answers, there will be a total failure in the
centre.
We write tests for foreign schools and accept
whatever result comes but here it is a different
ball game. It is not a question of the marker
drinking or falling asleep while marking your
papers. The computer marks your test and gives
the score of what you filled. We CANNOT
manipulate in any way!
The JAMB CBT is a step in the right direction.
We need to give our support to this great
innovation that is putting us into the present
age.

A couple had been married for several years
without a child. For the purpose of
companionship, they bought a Rottweiler puppy,
named it Hatchi and loved her like a child. The
dog had access to all the rooms in the house.
The puppy grew to become a large, beautiful dog
and had on several occasions saved d couples
from robbery. Hatchi was always faithful, loyal
and defended its owners against any danger.
Seven years later, the couple was blessed to
have the long-
awaited son. They were very happy with their
new son and decreased the
attention they had been giving the dog. Hatchi
felt neglected and began to get jealous
of the baby.
One day the couple left the baby sleeping
peacefully in his cradle and went to
the terrace to prepare a roast. They were
shocked as they were heading
to the nursery and saw Hatchi in the hallway
with a bloody mouth, wagging its tail. The dog's
owner thought the worst, pulled out a weapon
and immediately killed the dog. Rushed to the
baby's room and found a beheaded snake close
to the baby. The owner begins to mourn and
exclaims I killed my faithful dog!
How often have we misjudged people without
finding out facts.
The next time we are tempered to judge and
condemn anyone remember the
story of a faithful dog Hatchi.

The function of education is to teach one to
think intensively and to think critically.
Intelligence plus character - that is the goal
of true education.

The president of Association of Tutorial School
Operators, Mr Shodunke Oludotun has stated that
the reason many candidates failed the 2016
Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination
(UTME) was due to the fact that the Joint
Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) used
the wrong software to mark the exam.
According to him, JAMB used the software for
2015 exam to grade the students in 2016.
Mr Shodunke who equally called for the
resignation of the JAMB Boss, Professor Dibu
Ojerinde stated that there is evidence that
virtually all the results of candidates they have
collected bear 2015/2016 and not 2016/2017
which it was suppose to be.
He stressed that from their findings, it was
revealed that the software of 2015/2016
interfered with the 2016/2017, which led to the
massive failure of the students.
He said they were not against the use of the
Computer Based Test (CBT) but said it was full
of irregularities which led to the mass failure of
candidates.

what did you guys have to say about this ?

The appointments of the Registrar of Benue
State University (BSU), Makurdi, Dr Timothy Utile
and the bursar, Mr Aondoakaa Kwaghfan have

ALL PRAISES AND ADORATONS ARE DUE TO
ALLAH, THE LORD OF THE WORLD, The Muslim
Students of Rivers State University of Sci & Tech,
Port Harcourt are facing lots of challenges in the
school, problems ranging from Demolition of the
only makeshift mosque on campus, threatening
and harassing of
Muslim students by the lecturers, fixing lectures
during Jumaat time, Examination on Eid day
( Muslim festival day).
There is no freedom of worship as a Muslim in
the school, whereas there are more than 28
fellowships on campus with over 4 gargantuan
building for their worship. This is a sideline as
the Muslims constitute all the departments in the
school even in the faculty of law.
The struggles for the acquisition of land for
worship started back in the late 19's and early
20's, since then there have not been favorable
response from the school
management. The chief Imam of the University,
Imam Oloyede Muhyideen & Our Staff Adviser
Engr B.I Bakare have tried their capable best for
us to secure a place of worship but all have
been fruitless.
Different letters were written to state governor,
the NUC (National Universities Commission),
NSCIA (Nigeria supreme council for Islamic
Affairs), but all ended like a blowing wind.
After a period of time, a space (no structure)
was adopted by the Muslim community after
which they erected a canopy, by this medium,
Muslims on campus converge in their large
numbers to observe their prayers, until a day
which cannot be forgotten in the history of the
Muslim students in the school which was the
demolishing of the makeshift mosque on 25th
Jan 2012.
Islamic materials and personal belongings were
rubbished
to the extent that 2 of the Muslim students were
locked up during the scenario by the school
securities. This prompted the Muslim community
to take the matter to the public, press
conference were made and ended up in the
federal high court
in Port Harcourt with a suit no FHC/PHC/
CS150/2012 after which victory was ascertain by
the Muslim.
The court gave its order on Feb 19th, 2013.
Ordering the School to allocate a piece of land
to the Muslims. Despite the court injunction, the
matter still continues as an appeal was sought
by the University management which took us
back to the Federal court of Appeal, Port
Harcourt.
The matter has since then been adjourned and
later now till next year. From May 2014, then to
March, May & to October 2015,and then to March
15, 2016 and from March to Jan 17, 2017. The
Muslim students are very law abiding as we do
not protest or destroy belongings but we have
been discussing with all agents to ensure that
the land is acquired. We are imploring on all
persons who have one way or the other to assist
in the issue to put forward their assistance. We
pray Almighty Allah guide everyone of us and
admit us in AlJanat
Firdaws.( Amen )

I learnt that so many prospective applicants do
not have all the credits they need in one sitting
in either WAEC, NECo, NABTEB, GCE. As a result
of this, many of them may need to combine two
sittings either from the same exam (WAEC &
WAEC, WAEC & NECO, NECO & NECO, WAEC &
NABTEB and so on).
Unfortunately, not all universities in Nigeria
accept a combination of O'level result. So, you
may need to research on those schools that
accept it before you apply if you are planning to
combine your result.
To ease the stress, I have compiled the list of all
Universities that accepts combination of O'level
results. We have done in-depth research that
discovered that they do accept it.
See the names of universities that can allow you
merge WAEC and NECO results.
Of course, the list is not complete and we will be
updating it regularly once we are able to verify
other schools. However, if you know any school
that accepts two sitting of o'level result but not
listed here, endeavour to submit it in the
comments section below. We will be glad to add
them accordingly.
Here is the Universities that Accepts
Combination of O'Level Results – WAEC and
NECO.
Obafemi Awolowo University– accepts WAEC &
WAEC, NECO & WAEC, NECO & NECO

Plateau State University has received full
accreditation for 17 of its academic programmes
from the National Universities Commission
(NUC).
This was disclosed by the Vice Chancellor, Prof.
Doknan Sheni.
According to him, the university the institution
needed the accreditation to operate as a full-
fledged university and was confident that with
the accreditation, the university would admit
more than 1,000 students in the 2016/2017
academic year.
He revealed that before now, the university
usually admit 300 to 400 students but now can
admit 1000 to 3000 students.

We have received complaints from JAMB
candidates that the much publicized 40 marks
purportedly added to candidates' scores
especially those that wrote on the 27th and 29th
of February has been withdrawn as the board
has revealed that it was actually a technical bug.
Candidates are therefore advised to re-check
their scores as to be sure of the right step to
take.
For instance, if you are one of those who initially
received the 40 marks, now that it has been
deducted, your score may likely fall below the
cut off mark of your choice institution or course
which implies that you may need to go for a
JAMB Change of Course and Institution.
It is obvious that some candidates must have
exceeded the number of times that they are
suppose to check for their results free on JAMB
portal. For such candidates your only option now
is to get your JAMB Original Result Slip (the one
that has your passport photograph on it).
As a matter of fact, every candidate is advised
to get his or her JAMB Original Result Slip as
this will be needed during admission processing.

This is to inform all 2015/2016 aspirants of Yaba
College of technology (YABATECH) that the
supplementary list of admitted candidates is now
available on the school portal.
Candidates are to check their admission status
on JAMB website now via this link:

The Registrar Joint Admissions and Matriculation
Board (JAMB), Prof. Dibu Ojerinde has stated
that candidates who missed their examination
because they were relocated will be given
another opportunity to sit for the examination.
Also candidates who had system failure during
the examination would retake it, once it is
proven by the board that their complaints are
genuine.
On the issue of conflicting results, Prof. Dibu
said, "Let me use this opportunity to offer
explanation on the issue of the much-publicized
two results. The process of our marking involves
transformation and other qualitative
programming.
In the process of these configurations, we had a
little challenge which we quickly corrected and
ensured that this never happened in subsequent
results. This challenge was only associated with
the candidates that sat for this examination on
Saturday, 27, and some candidates of Monday,
29 February, 2016."
He also disclosed that out of the 1,546,633
candidates that sat for the 2016 UTME, 145, 704
had issues of multiple results which have been
resolved by the board.
He however stated that results of Uromi
approved UTME Centre in Edo State, were being
withheld as a result of massive malpractice and
invasion of the centre by armed hoodlums.
He blamed the technical hitches experienced in
some of the centres on the operators of the
centers as some of them hired equipment just to
pass the accreditation process only to be found
wanting on the examination day.
He further stated that reverting to Pencil-Paper
Test as directed by the House of
Representatives will invariably amount to taking
one step forward and two steps backwards.
"Even the physically challenged are taking the
CBT examination. One of the blind candidates
scored 286, so why should others complain? He
queried.

The National Universities Commission (NUC) has
discredited the reports that medical students in
Nigerian universities would henceforth study for
11 years before obtaining an MBBS degree.
This was disclosed by the NUC Executive
Secretary, Prof. Julius Okojie, in Abuja,
According to him, the new Benchmark Minimum
Academic Standard (BMAS) for Medicine and
Dentistry, which had since been made public by
commission, only provides for a seven-year
training, leading to the award of MBBS/MDS.
"A seven year MBBS programme that encompass
a seamless four- year acquisition of the B.SC.
Basic Medical Science with interest in either
Anatomy/Physiology/Biochemistry."
"At the end of seven years, students would have
acquired the Bachelor of Medical Science,
Bachelorof Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery
degrees. In case of dental programmes, students
would have acquired a degree in Basic Dental
Sciences and Bachelor of Dental Surgery."

The best graduating student of Imo state
University at its 7th Convocation ceremony held
recently could not have believed that his hard
work as a student will ever give him the much
attention and reward he received during the

What happened at IMSU convocation ceremony. That moment when Governor
Rochas Okorocha asked Dr John chigozie ekenze the best graduating
student from the department of optometry with a CGPA of 4.7. "What
shall I do for you "? And the boy said "I want an automatic employment
and a scholarship to do my master abroad". In reply, Rochas said,
"Your wish has been grant. You shall do your masters any where in the
world". Rochas also gave him a prize of one million naira.

In gratitude, Hon Uche nwaosu gave him 500 thousand and Hon Chike
okafor added 500 thousand naira to it. The new Chancellor, Chief
Innoson (chairman Innoson motors) Donated a brand new car to him.

In addition, the Vice chancellor, Offered him an automatic

session in 2916 Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination (UTME) are advised to explore the
window for change of course and institution

session comes up tomorrow being March 21st, 2016.

The agitations from candidates may have started
yielding fruits as the House of Representatives
has asked the Federal Ministry of Education to
direct the Joint Admissions and Matriculation
Board (JAMB) to revert to pencil-paper method
in the conduct of UTME or adopt both PPT and
CBT so that candidates can opt for any one of
their choice.
This followed a motion moved by a lawmaker
from Lagos State, Mr. Oghene Emma-Egoh, on
the "conflicting" scores of candidates who took
the examination.
The law maker stressed that the technical errors
experiences during the examination has
invariably dashed the hopes of many of these
candidates in gaining admission this year.

The law maker further pointed to two cases of
conflicting results. One is that of Ibrahim
Shawulu from Kogi State, who was said to have
scored 399 out of 400, and in less than 24 hours
his score was reduced to 199."
Another is that of Foluke, the 17-year-old girl in
Ejigbo-Lagos, who scored an aggregate of 156
and when the result was checked again she had
an aggregate of 196."
Based on these and other technical flaws that
marred the conduct of the 2016 UTME, the
house of Representatives is of the opinion that
JAMB does not have what it takes to manage
the Computer Based Test.
what is your opinion to this?
