JAMB Blacklists 3 CBT Centres

Three CBT Centres usaed for the 2015 UTME has been blacklisted by JAMB.

According to JAMB’s Public Relations Mr Fabian Benjamin, “We noticed that owners of these centres, out of greed, presented to us facilities that did not belong to them just because they wanted to be part of the examination.

“They were not sincere enough to let the organisers of the examination know that they did not have all the necessary backups needed by JAMB as a prerequisite for the accreditation of any centre that would want to host the examination.

“These centres posed challenges to candidates who were to write the examination there, due to the inadequacies, and we quickly swung to action by relocating them,” he said.

Commenting on the success of the 2015 UTME , Mr fabian said that in spite of the initial hitches the outcome of the examination was generally good. He stressed that the board will improve on certain areas before the next UTME.

Students Warned About Campus Marriage

We never wanted to talk about this, but the truth must be told no matter whose ox is gored.
Campus marriage is bad, hazardous, perilous, risky, high-risk, unsafe, unpredictable, precarious, and insecure.
What is Campus Marriage?
Campus marriage is an act of living together under same roof by two opposite $E% students. They eat together, read together and even have sexual relationship without legally being married.
This form of unrecognised marriage has eroded morality among Nigerian students in tertiary institutions. Sadly, this type of relationship does not lead to a recognised or formal marriage between the partners as it ends at the school.
Majority of the students have unrealistic reasons for engaging in such relationship. Some say it’s as a result of lack of sufficient accommodation, other say they choose to be close to each other for security reasons.
Some even say it’s due to emotional feelings. In essence, it is born out of the want for pleasure and excitement that could be occasioned by living together.
However, the resultant effects and benefits of such a relationship have shown that most of the students who engage in it are withdrawn from their study. Some carry over their courses, while many other female students have unwanted pregnancy. Such students are also observed to lack discipline, self esteem and receive low recognition from among their peers.
Regrettably, some of the girls who get pregnant and try to terminate the pregnancy die in the process.
Of course, it is needless saying that abortion is considered immoral by the two prominent religions in Nigeria, Islam and Christianity.
Students of higher institutions are, therefore, admonished not to engage in cohabiting, it does not pay and it does not necessarily lead to a lasting relationship or end in proper marriage.

Ondo State Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, on Tuesday, received a letter conveying the approval from the Executive Secretary of the NUC, Prof. Julius Okojie, in Abuja, according to a statement by the Ondo State Commissioner for Information, Kayode Akinmade, on Wednesday.

While congratulating the governor and the people of Ondo State on the establishment of the specialised university, the NUC boss advised the government on the need for the NUC to assess the readiness of the institution before the enrolment of students.

Mimiko commended the NUC for the recognition, saying that it showed that the agency was truly committed to human capacity development.

The governor said that the Trauma Centre of the university had been accredited by the National Postgraduate College for residency training in orthopaedic and general surgery.

“We have put in place world-class facilities that have already received recognition from requisite professional bodies in the medical sciences,” he said.

UNILORIN Post-UTME Possible Questions on Current Affairs

Having studied the current affairs parts of unilorin post-UTME, past questions from 2006 till date, I was able to deduce the following likely questions.

- #Questions on Nigerian constitutions- go and note the years of constitutions we ever had in this country.. e.g In 2009, A question like " Sir Richard's Constitution was introduced in Nigeria in what year A.1946 B.1950 C. 1964 D.1864. The correct Answer is A.1946
So, read up the dates of those constitutions.

- #Question on Nigeria History- they includes, dates of
independent, when Nigeria became a republic, when queen
Elizabeth visited Nigeria, Nigerian civil war date,amalgamation, names of past presidents and years of rule (starting from Lord Luggard),who designed the Nigerian Flag,who composed the Nigerian first and second anthem.

-# Nigerian Historical "First"- first ceremonial president, first hospital in Nigeria, first secondary school, first newspaper, year of movement of Federal capital from Calabar to Lagos and Abuja,first place where oil was discovered in Nigeria,first Nigerian prime minister.

- #Nigerian Financial Sector-when CBN was established, first CBN governor, current CBN governor, when Nigerians stop spending shillings and when Naira was introduced,when #10,#20,#50 polymer,#100,#200,#500,#1000 notes were introduced.

When paper money became a legal tender in Nigeria, when NYSC was established.

Read about this aspect very well, you cant afford not to answer at least 3 questions from this area. So smash it and make it a walk over.

-#Nigerian Coat of Arms and what each part depicts-

-#Nigerian states-the most populous, the state's slogan e.g Lagos as centre of excellence, Oyo as the pacesetter state, kwara as state of harmony, Benue as the food basket of the nation. try to know all the 36 states including the FCT. The state capital of all states,The no of local govt in Nigeria, no of
senators and house of representative members,the current speaker and senate president.

- #Full meaning of acronyms like NAFDAC,INEC,ECOWAS,TETFUND,NFF,UNESCO,WHO,FIRS,ASUU,HIV,JAMB e.t.c also along with this,know the name of INEC Chairman, its Prof Atthairu Jega from Kebbi state not Orubebe ooo...lol! ok

You need to familiarize yourself with the name of current Jamb Registrar (Prof Dibu Ojerinde), current EFCC chairman (Ibrahim Lamorde), current CBN gov (Godwin Emefiele), current minsister for Eduation, (Ibrahim Shekarau), NAFDAC BOSS (Paul Orhi) e.t.c

- #Foreign and contemporary issues- when US white house
was attacked (Sept. 11,2001),When Ebola entered the country, Patrick sawyer entered Lagos (July 20th 2014,was announced Ebola positive five days after), first outbreak of cholera, When Chibok girls were abducted (FGGC, Chibok April 14th), dates of the last presidential election and gubernatorial one, largest
country in Africa by landmass (Algeria), by population
(Nigeria),no of countries we have in the world (196), no of African countries,when Mandela died.........e.t.c

- #History and Facts about UNILORIN itself- Even though YOU are too lazy to read about the aforementioned points and clues, please I beg you in the name of God, don't joke with this, even this part is all you can answer in the current affairs section, do it and do justice to it. Likely Questions under this includes;

-when Unilorin was founded Sept. 1975

-first vice chancellor (called principal then)-prof T.N Tamuno, sadly this man died last week Saturday at age 83.***Adieu to an academician u may say**

-the current VC (Prof Abdulganiyu Ambali)
-the current Registrar (Mr E.O Obafemi)
-the no of faculties, the school chancellor (king of Agbor kingdom) e.t.c

Now, I know many would be wondering do I have to know all these? No you can't know all, but you can only try to know few ones (depending on your learning skills). Funny enough, most people run away from mathematics (because it is perceived to be hard), yet English grammar and tenses usage coupled with current affairs ain't our friends either...
