Breaking News!! FG Scraps Post-UTME, Pegs Cut-Off Mark At 180

ABUJA - The Federal Government has scrapped post-
Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations, UTME, as a
pre-condition to gaining admission into universities in
the country.


The government and stakeholders in education sector
also pegged 180 as benchmark for 2016 admission into
universities, polytechnics and colleges of education to
improve quality of education in Nigeria.
These decisions were reached at the 2016 Combined
Policy Meeting on Admissions to Universities,
Polytechnics and other higher institutions in Nigeria.

The Minister of Education , Malam Adamu Adamu, while
declaring open the meeting, said since the federal
government and stakeholders had confidence in the
examinations conducted by the Joint Admissions and
Matriulation Board, JAMB, there was no need for other
examinations to be conducted by universities after JAMB
exams.

He said: "As far as I am concerned, the nation has
confidence in what JAMB is doing, the universities should
not be holding another examinations and if the
universities have any complain against JAMB, let them
bring it and then we address it.

''But if JAMB is qualified enough to conduct tests and
they have conducted test, then there will be no need to
conduct another test for students to gain admission.

“We Reject Scrapping Of Post-JAMB Exams” – Muslim Rights Concern

The Federal Government yesterday scrapped the conduct of post
Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations for candidates seeking
admission into tertiary institutions.
The Muslim Rights Concern rejects the abolition of post-JAMB. It is
reactionary, myopic and irritating. It is JAMB itself that should have
been abolished.


Our position is based on the bitter experiences of Nigerian youths and
their parents over the years. Post-JAMB examination was introduced
after the general public and tertiary institutions lost faith in the national
examination body.

There were allegations of bribery and corruption being rampant among
staffers of JAMB who swapped candidates' marks for the highest
bidders.

There were also alleged cases of impersonation whereby parents who
could afford it merely bought high scores for their children who never
wrote any examination. Many brilliant candidates allegedly got low
marks.

Excellence was compromised on the altar of mediocrity. JAMB was
ruining the future of Nigerian youths.
It was the poor performance of JAMB candidates who scored amazingly
high marks but who could not justify their high scores in tertiary
institutions that attracted hue and cry.
They performed woefully after gaining entry into institutions and it was
natural for the schools to do something about it since it was obvious that
JAMB was dumping dullards in the universities and polytechnics all over
the country.

It was an alarming situation. Many undergraduates could not write a
single correct sentence. The quality of education in Nigeria was
deteriorating.

University graduates were performing woefully in job interviews and
prospective employers had problems getting genuinely qualified
graduates. The lion share of the blame for the fall in the quality of
education in Nigeria today should go to JAMB.
Post-JAMB examinations emerged as a corollary of this ugly situation.
The universities and polytechnics needed to separate the wheat from the
chaff.

MURIC is not quite comfortable with government's explanation that all
tertiary institutions were at liberty to conduct screening for candidates
seeking admission into any school because ordinary screening without
written examinations cannot be effective enough. FG should also note
that any type of screening at all must cost the institutions some money.

We call on FG to grant tertiary institutions some level of autonomy
particularly in the area of admission requirements.

FG should also stop JAMB from exposing the lives of teenage Nigerians
to danger through its early morning examinations. It is most irrational
for JAMB to slate its papers for 6.30 am in a country where insecurity is
still a far cry.

Many JAMB candidates who went out to write the 6.30 am during the
last exercise had ugly experiences. Many were forced to travel far
distances and sleep overnight in strange and unsafe places.

Two allegedly lost their lives as they were attacked by ritualists and
armed robbers. One was allegedly raped by hoodlums.
Another was kidnapped and the parents were made to cough out a huge
amount of money. JAMB must put on a human face.

In conclusion, we submit that post-JAMB examination is part of the war
against corruption. It is part of the change mantra.

It has come to save Nigerian youths from the monster called JAMB. It is
therefore JAMB that should be scrapped, not post-JAMB.

Being a statement by Prof. Ishaq Akintola, the Director of Muslim Rights
Concern.

No Going Back On JAMB Result Validity Period, Says Saraki

The Senate President Bukola Saraki on Wednesday said there was no
going back on the amendment of bill to extend the validity period of the
Joint Admission Matriculation Board examination (JAMB) result from
one year to three years.


Bukola Saraki made this known after the passage of the bill to amend the
JAMB Act on the floor of the Upper Chamber. He said: "It is technically
already a fiat accompli and senators should help the average Nigerian
student.

"It is the hope of Senate that the JAMB amendment bill will reduce
financial and psychological burdens on Nigerian students.

"JAMB has been saddled with the responsibility of ushering in young
school leavers into tertiary institutions for many years.

"However, due to several factors, hundreds of thousand of candidates
that sit for JAMB exams do not secure their admission into higher
institutions in the same year. They have to sit for same exam following
year. This is unacceptable.

"It is our hope in the 8th Senate that this amendment will go a long way
in reducing financial constraint on parents and psychological burden on
students who have secured pass mark but unable to secure admission
same year," he added.

Nigerian Students- Does Masturbating Create Herpes Or Disease?

Aunty Julie,
I am a 29-year old man. I have been in a relationship but
distance is separating me from my love who is now living
in a far-away state. I get tempted to date other women
but couldn't bring myself to do it. I cannot cheat on my
love because we love each other and hope to re-unite
very soon. We have vowed to live together and not
betray each other. Although we are not yet married, we
are keeping it in view and besides, she is a good
woman. But I masturbate and it worries me. Can one get
any form of sickness from masturbating because I feel
drained after engaging in the act?
---------Dominic, Lagos

Dear Dominic,
A lot of people feel guilty after masturbating and some
see it as cheating on their partner even though the act
does not involve another sex partner. Besides, there is
perceived spiritual dirtiness associated with the act. But
the wonderful thing about masturbation is that you can't
catch a disease from yourself (or we must already have
the disease). Sexually transmitted infections (STI) have to
be caught from someone who has the infection. They
spread by rubbing of skin-to-skin or transferring of body
fluid in sex with a partner. This is a reason why condoms
protect because they prevent body fluid going from
partner to another and reduce skin-to-skin contact.

Touching ourselves for pleasure with masturbation is
something most people do especially if they don't have a
sexual partner. It's natural to feel some pent-up sexual
frustration and masturbation can relieve that. There has
been a lot of fears and claims that masturbation was bad
or a risk. But this has usually been a moral or religious
view that it is wrong to masturbate.
Herpes has to be caught from someone who has it. What
might confuse people is that herpes is usually around
the mouth but can be spread to the genitals by touch or
oral sex. But we don't usually spread our own herpes
further because our body has made antibodies to
control the virus that causes herpes.

School, ND, etc programmes into second year of their chosen courses.
All Federal, State and Private Universities in Nigeria accept Direct
Entry for Admission, provided the candidate in question is qualified
(possessing the relevant pass grades for the program of interest).

Depending on the institution, some schools insist on upper credit
benchmark while others may be a bit liberal and may accept lower
credits.

The first step to gaining admission through DE is to first purchase
JAMB Direct Entry Form, and thereafter register online. Although 2015
DE form is not yet out on sale (as at the date of this publication),
for latest updates regarding the sale of form for 2015/2016
admissions. This particular article you are reading is to get you
informed on requirements for getting admission into any University
through DE.

If you want Students Nigeria to notify you when the 2015/16 DE forms
are on sale, simply comment "NOTIFY ME" in comment box below. Make
sure your email address is correct & valid!

Qualifications For Admission Through Direct Entry
As earlier mentioned in first paragraph, admission though DE gives you
access to 200L of your degree programme without passing through first
year. Online application is usually done via
www.jamb.org.ng/DirectEntry. To apply via this method however you need
to have any of the following qualifications:-

– Ordinary National Diploma certificate (OND)
– Higher National Diploma certificate (HND)
– GCE A Level, HSC, DALF certificate
– An acceptable Baccalaureate certificate

– IJMB
– Institute of Chartered accountants of Nigeria (ICAN)
or equivalents of these from accredited Polytechnics and colleges of education.

NB: Only students whose cumulative grade point average (CGPA) meets
the requirement for the intended course of study will be considered.
The JAMB Brochure contain specific requirements for courses and
schools. Normally, candidates who gain admission into the University
through DE start from 200 level except for a few departments/courses
in some schools that insist that DE students must start from 100 level
with UTME students.
Candidates who have any of the above requirements/qualifications and
wish to gain admission into a university degree programme through
Direct Entry (DE) are to wait patiently for the commencement of sale
of forms by JAMB. It should start hopefully after the completion of
2015 UTME. We will keep you posted.

Amount (cost of) for JAMB 2015 DE form, where to purchase the scratch
cards for online registration, how to apply online via JAMB website,
and how to decide on which school to choose will be reported later on
this same website. We are hoping this article on JAMB Direct Entry
Requirements for 2015 helps.
In summary, to gain admission through DE…

1. You must be qualified to apply.
2. You should stay updated to know when registration start.
3. Decide on the school to choose.
4. Apply through JAMB first (DE).
5. While registering JAMB DE, select your choice school.
6. Wait for your choice school's post DE Screening.
7. Pass the screening in (6) above and wait for 2015 DE admission list.
8. Matriculate with 100L students, then enter 200L classroom!

4 Ways Of Making Money Online With Smartphones – Click Here!

I'll show you ways of making money online with your android phone as a
Nigerian Student. Don't worry, the options listed here have been
verified and can be trusted.


Making money online is one thing that so many internet users want to
do at one time of the other. Or who don't want to make so extra cash?
Many articles had been written in the past on how to make money online
but they are mostly focused on the use of computer systems to access
the internet and make money than the use of mobile devices. It is
therefore important to discuss how to make money online using
smartphones as the primary tool for online jobs. The internet is now
been accessed more through the use of mobile devices than the regular
computer system. According to a report released in the year 2014,
about 60 percent of all internet connection is done over mobile
devices. This is a reflection of the improved capabilities of the
mobile devices like smartphones, phablets and tablets. Personally, I
believe the emergence of Android and Apple IOS are contributing to the
increased use of mobile devices over personal computers.

Making money online is not as easy as most people want it to be. So
many internet users believe that with the correct secret, you can
begin to earn top dollar with little or no hard work. I am sorry, but
I am yet to have access to such secrets. The only secret I have been
able to discover involves the hard work and dedication of the course.
Once the mind is set to work hard, there are numerous ways whereby you
can earn online using your mobile devices.

The 4 Ways Of Making Money Online As A Student With Android Phone:

1. Blogging
Blogging is one of the sure paths to making real wealth from the
internment. I use the word "wealth" because blogging can bring you
great riches. The two major blogging platforms available at the moment
are; wordpress and blogspot. You can download the android application
for both from the Google Play Store. I have used both on my smart
phone and with a few trick; you can get almost all your blogging jobs
done over the two mobile applications.
Blogging has become harder to monetize with the popular Google Adsense
and if you are playing for it, I will advise you to get ready for a
hard journey ahead. You can check back for my article on how I blog
using my android smart phone alone.

2. Android Application Development
Most people are not aware that they can quickly and easily build a
simple Android application. They usually felt it takes rocket science
to build an application for their Android smart phone. You can build a
website based application in less than 2 hours. I build the GSMGist
Android application in less than one hour " you can download it here".
Or build one from Appsgeyser if you have a website or a blog too. You
can make money by placing your finished application of Google Play
Store, Amazon App Store or even on the Appsgeyser market. You can sell
you application or make money by running advertisement on the
application using Admob or any other mobile ad services.

3. Freelance Jobs
This is the most popular means of making money from the internet. A
lot of websites make available jobs you can do to earn a token into
your account. The jobs come in various forms like filling a form,
registering on a website, writing an article or even interpreting
website content into another language. A good and reliable example is
microworker but you can check online for other sites. Payments are
mostly small but when accumulated for a period, it becomes something
of significance. You can collect your earnings through popular online
payment platforms. Apart from having mobile sites, which you can
access on your smartphones, you can access the standard website using
a very good mobile browser on your smart phone.

4. Social Media Promotion
You sometimes wonder why somebody you know is building up his number
of friends on Facebook or doing everything to increase his followers
on twitter. It is mostly based on the desire to engage in social media
promotions. A lot of media organizations are ready to pay you to use
your social media accounts to send out their messages. Like an
endorsement, you promote their products and services to
the general public using your accounts. The scheme is mostly common to
Twitter and Facebook accounts. This is another easy task you can
undertake using your smart phone alone and you will be paid well for
doing a good job.
Warning and tips: I need to warn you that not all the websites or
companies offering jobs can be trusted. Some will always find a way of
cheating you and they might avoid payment altogether. Before you sign
up with any organization, kindly read other people reviews of the
organization performance.

20 English Words To Avoid When In Other Countries

Lola Bailey Reveals 20 English Words To Avoid When in Other Countries

If you travel abroad frequently for work, or if you have an e-commerce
store with customers from all over the world, it's worth noting that
there are a number of English words that, phonetically, don't work in
other countries and can lead to double entendre or unintended offence
territory. Here are 20 of them to help you ensure that your
communication isn't lost in translation.


In France
"Preservative" Avoid asking about preservatives in France; you'll
probably be met with strange looks. It means 'condom' in France.
"Bra" Do you sell luxury underwear? Whilst you and I might initially
understand the word to mean a garment that covers the breasts, if
you're in France your French colleagues might think you're selling
arms. Literally.

In Norway
"Pick" If you're visiting Norway, don't use the word 'pick'. Your
Norwegian colleague is unlikely to be impressed – it means 'dick' over
there.
"Fitter . Does your business specialise in fitness products? Be
mindful that in Norway, the word 'fitte' refers to a woman's genitals.
In Turkey
"Peach" Going to Turkey? Avoid asking for a peach in the supermarket
or anywhere else for that matter. It means 'bastard' in Turkish.

In Germany
"Gift" 'Never look a gift horse in the mouth', we're told; perhaps
more so in Germany where the word means 'poison'.
"Latte" In Germany, latte doesn't mean the frothy, milky concoction
you get from your local Starbucks. It means 'erect penis' in some
German quarters.
In Korea
"Salsa" Out for a Mexican in Korea? It's probably best not to ask for
salsa: it means 'diarrhoea' in Korean.

In Sweden
"Speed" Try not to talk about speed when in the company of others in
Sweden. It means 'fart'.
"Bump" If you've had the misfortune of a bump on your car, note that
the word 'bump' in Swedish means 'dump'.
"Speed bump" Put the above two words together and you have the phrase
'speed bump', which in Swedish means fart dump.
"Kiss" If you ask your Swedish host or hostess for a kiss, they might
very well direct you to the toilets. In Swedish, the word means 'pee'.

In Portugal
"Pay Day" If you're in Portugal, refrain from singing with happiness
that it's 'pay day'. No one will be impressed. In Portuguese it means
"I farted".
"Exquisite" Extend a compliment to your Portuguese host by describing
something belonging to them as 'exquisite' and you might be met with
askance looks: 'esquisito' in Portuguese means 'weird'.

In Hungary
"Cookie" If you're visiting Hungary, whether on business or for
pleasure, avoid asking for a cookie. It means 'small penis' in
Hungarian.

In Japan
"Jerry" It's perhaps a little late for Ben & Jerry's ice cream, but if
you're in Japan, avoid using the word – it means 'diarrhoea' over
there.

In Italy
"Tremendous" Refrain from boasting about the tremendous prices you
offer your clients. In this country, 'tremendo' is the word for
'terrible'.

In Netherlands
"Bill" Asking for the bill might raise a few guffaws in the
Netherlands: 'bil' means 'buttocks' there.
"Lager" It might confuse your Dutch colleagues if you were to ask for
a 'lager' when having a few drinks with them after work. Lager means
'storage' in Dutch.

In Spain
"Cool" The word cool is too close for comfort to the Spanish word
'culo'; a crude term for 'bum'. Best avoided.
That some words can be misinterpreted not only has relevance for those
who frequently go abroad on business, but as Tictail point out , also
for online businesses where 'borderless' transactions take place. So
if you've often wondered why your "exquisite Madagascan chocolates"
fly like hotcakes everywhere in the world except Brazil and Portugal,
perhaps you now have the answer: weird, dodgy chocolates just won't
sell.

10 Questions To Ask A University If You Want To Study Abroad

Studying abroad may be one of the most beneficial experiences for a
college student. By studying abroad, students have the opportunity to
study in a foreign nation and take in the allure and culture of a new
land. Studying abroad seems prostrated when you don't have necessary
information about the school you want to study, probably because you
did not ask or you did not know what to ask.


Don't really know what to ask a university? Don't waste this
opportunity. Below are some things you really should enquire about
when deciding where to study abroad.
As you may know, you can ask a university any questions which you have
about them by clicking on the 'Contact institution' button whenever
you see it on our site. This way you can begin a conversation with
them; let them get to know you; and obtain all the information you
need to make an informed decision about where you study.
But what should you ask?

It can be easy to simply ask about the scholarship opportunities they
offer. However institutions receive hundreds of such enquiries, so
your message won't stand out. The more unique or personalised your
question or enquiry, the more likely it will resonate with the
university staff member who reads it; it will be something different
from what they see normally.

There are a lot of other things you should be asking. Just think of
everything which you would want to know about a university you might
be studying at (especially one in a completely different country from
your own).
Here are some ideas to get you thinking about what you may ask…

Here are Questions To Ask A University If You Want To Study Abroad

1. 'Where can I live?'
Do you know what accommodation the institution offers? Is this
accommodation on or off-campus? How expensive is this accommodation
and what's included? Are you guaranteed a place in on-campus
accommodation in your first year? What support is there to find
accommodation off-campus?

2. 'What's the international student body like?'
What proportion of students currently enrolled are from overseas? What
countries do these students come from? Are there many students from
your own country? If so, are there any specific clubs or societies
which are tailored to students from here?

3. 'How is the course taught?'
Is the course taught through lectures, lab work or seminars? How many
students are in these classes? What is the structure of a normal
lecture/seminar? Will you work independently, or with one or more
students as part of group-work? How many hours can you expect to spend
on campus each week? Does this include face-time with your professors
in their office hours?

4. 'What would you study specifically on a course?'
Can you get some specific details on the material you'll be studying
i.e. specific authors or cases? How much depth would you go into? Do
you get to choose the modules you take? Or is there a core curriculum
which is mandatory for everyone?

5. 'What have previous graduates on this course gone on to do?'
Does the university have any notable alumni in your field? Perhaps
someone famous who you look up to? What companies or organisations are
these alumni now working for which you might be able to apply to later
too? Could you get work experience with one of these companies or
alongside one of these individuals? Are there any unusual paths which
graduates have gone down which might not be obvious?

6. 'What should I study if I want to study at a higher level later?'
If you have aspirations to study at postgraduate level or a further
study level, what should you study before that (i.e. at undergraduate
level)? What courses does the university offer which you could study
which would allow you to make this progression? Are there pathways or
pre-masters courses available?

7. 'Can you confirm the application deadlines?'
When are these deadlines? Are there different deadlines for students
from different countries? What are the deadlines for scholarship
applications for these courses? What do you need to provide by this
date?

8. 'What's the local area like?'
Why should you study in that region? What are the main attractions? Is
there much of a nightlife? How easy is it to get around by public
transport? Is it a major student town, or a mix of ages and
backgrounds?

9. 'How can the university help me find employment after I complete my course?'
Does the university have links to local, national or international
industries or organisations? Are any of these in the same field as
you're studying? Is there a careers department or service on campus?
Are there are opportunities to complete work experience or practical
work as part of your course?
