Exam Preparatory Questions by chr1s(m): 1:17pm On Aug 12, 2015 |
If you are in possession of a book which contains past Post Ume questions, then you must have come across some sort of Maths questions which seem too strange and time-consuming. Do not feel disgruntled. There are easy ways to walk your way through these. Let me give you an example: If today is Tuesday, what day would it be in the next 50 days?. ...... Here is the solution: First, you need to know that if you keep adding 7 days to that Tuesday, you will keep getting Tuesday. For example, today is Thursday, 7 days from now would be Thursday, 14 days from now would still be Thursday, and so on. No matter what, adding 7 days would keep giving you Thursday. OKAY? Same goes with Tuesday and any other day. So, if you are given this sort of question above: "If today is Tuesday, What day would it be in the next 50 days?". Just divide 50 by 7 and add the remainder to Tuesday. It would be like this: 50/7 = 7 Remainder 1. The remainder 1 means you should count one day from Tuesday. Hence, the answer would be a WEDNESDAY. You see? Not that hard. There are easy ways to calculate all these sort of questions without wasting your time. WISHING YOU GOODLUCK!!! Atthairu Jega from Kebbi state 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 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 QUESTIONS ON NIGERIAN CONSTITUTIONS 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.

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.

For PostUtme candidates, I think this will help you. If you are in possession of a book which contains past Post Ume questions, then you must have come across some sort of Maths questions which seem too strange and time-consuming. Do not feel disgruntled. There are easy ways to walk your way through these. Let me give you an example: If today is Tuesday, what day would it be in the next 50 days?. ...... Here is the solution: First, you need to know that if you keep adding 7 days to that Tuesday, you will keep getting Tuesday. For example, today is Thursday, 7 days from now would be Thursday, 14 days from now would still be Thursday, and so on. No matter what, adding 7 days would keep giving you Thursday. OKAY? Same goes with Tuesday and any other day. So, if you are given this sort of question above: "If today is Tuesday, What day would it be in the next 50 days?". Just divide 50 by 7 and add the remainder to Tuesday. It would be like this: 50/7 = 7 Remainder 1. The remainder 1 means you should count one day from Tuesday. Hence, the answer would be a WEDNESDAY. You see? Not that hard. There are easy ways to calculate all these sort of questions without wasting your time. WISHING YOU GOODLUCK!!! Atthairu Jega from Kebbi state 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 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 QUESTIONS ON NIGERIAN CONSTITUTIONS 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. S |
