75 year old Beatrice Oyesolu, the mother of twin brothers shot dead on Saturday by a trigger-happy policeman guarding Paulson Hotel on Anibaba Street, Ketu-Ikosi, Lagos, says the promises her children made to her had been shattered.

The twin brothers, aged 34, who hailed from Oro, Kwara State, were bachelors. The drunken policeman, Stephen James, with Force number 217884, had opened fire on the brothers and their friend, Jeje, who was celebrating his birthday on the fateful day. The trio had cautioned him to stop harassing customers, who reportedly declined to buy him bottles of beer.

James, said to be a drug addict and notorious for shooting sporadically, killed the twins and their friend before he shot himself dead.

It took entreaties from residents around the hotel to stop the angry mob who wanted to set the facility on fire. Sympathisers thronged a house in the community, where the twins’ mother, who lived in Mile 12, was brought to. The sympathisers rallied round her as she cried uncontrollably.

Last year, we organized a programme on Nairaland, called Nairaland Jamb Tutorial centre {NJTC} www.nairaland.com/2015333/nairaland-jamb-tutorial-centre-njtc . It helped a lot of jambites in their preparation towards the tides of the exam. It was great indeed as it's a good method of encouraging good performance in the 21st century exams. It is nothing short of success as it saw almost 33 participants gave testimonies of their UTME and PUME success with 19 admission testimonies despite all odds in the course of organizing the programme. What do you think? Great?
This made my team and I to carry out an analysis on the causes of students mass failure in external exams like the recently released results of WAEC GCE. AND we found out that it's not lack of appropriate reading, but lack of information, misconceptions, overconfidence, lack of technical know how among others.
Therefore, in the bid of reducing failure and averting such occurrence in these year UTME,
Lode-star Network brings to you Jambites' Online Conference '16. A programme organized to educate candidates on some subject matters, by elites in the field. There will also be a session of interaction between speakers and participants in the maiden event. Everything will happen in a convenient and conducive manner.
Aims of the Conference
To enable Jambites to have smooth interaction among themselves and sharing ideas on some necessities.
To dish out our findings on the causes of candidates' failure to you.
To allow people willing to reduce failure have a platform to do so.
To make people who has verse knowledge on some subject matters share with you.
