It appeared that majority of JAMBites this year devoted more time to reading the two recommended novels for use of English namely The Potter's Wheel and The Success than other aspects. But we have found out that it was a hoax from JAMB just to make candidates buy and read them. So what is your opinion about this issue?

Tobexin and others your opinions

Are you serious? No questions from both novels?

^^^ yap... They just allow people wastemoney and resources.

I think it'll help in other aspect.

zameen: I think it'll help in other aspect.

infact what pains me most is devoting 2days out of my precious time reading the so called novels !!! To me o it's just a waste of time and resources!!! anywayx they have their reason though"

-but why did they include it in their syllabuse when FULLY know that nothing is really coming out of it's side NONESENSE!!!!!

criminals, they only use dat avenue to xtort money frm students rubbish

Well i think they just want the Nigerian students to cultivate the habit of reading

Its probably another scheme they devised to reduce the gross number of canditates seeking admission. But i personally believe its unfair, pple should learn 4rm this deceit o

when i checked the english question, i couldn't find anything relating to that novel, chei i was like, eeeeh!!! JAAAAAAMMMMBB

[color=#990000][/color]Only God knows, the authors might have even connived with jamb to share the proceeds from the illegal sales

am a novel reader myself and i read the potters wheel while in secondary school and i think its a great book so i wont consider this a total loss for the candidates. but then thats just my opinion

Not to worry, they'll fix the 2 novels in post ume exam... Wish all'ya success

if you didnt gain anything from reading those novels, then your written English must be impeccable and you shouldnt have any problem getting 85% in the Use of English. you guys shouldnt be short sighted as to think that they would lift questions from t he book.
i m guessing that the reason why they had to recommend those novels is that even the standard of English in our media stations [print media, television and radio] has fallen so badly that you are no longer sure you are reading/hearing the right thing by listening to the news and reading newspapers.
this is pathetic. dont blame JAMB for that.
during my time, we could still learn English by listening to the news and reading newspapers. reading novels was also one of the avenues for learning English.
We did it back then, you guys dont complain now.

How do you know that Or, you just feel/think they will do that

yeah yeah you just reminded of the question in the use of english in this just concluded jamb, passage II, where the writer was talking about poooor reading culture amongst nigerian.... Was that why they introduce those two novels It may they brougt those novels So that people start to develop habit of reading, my guess..

Bayils: in what aspect o....?

It is because of terrible written English like yours and a whole lot of your peers out there they recommended those novels.

They wanted you generation of today youths to at least read "in details" at least two novels even if that's the only two you will read throughout your entire lifetime.

Youths of today pay leep attention to their written and spoken english is near dead. With everyone short typing even the shortest of words.

At least through that novel, you kids have managed to know some news words and their meaning?

They simply scammed Nigerians: See http://thewilfreds.com/aftermath-jamb-scams-1-5-million-nigerian-students-again/

It is, to say a least, painfully sad that a reputable body like JAMB can pull this kind of stunt on a million+ Nigerian students.
It is not just fair cos so many Jambites stressed themselves almost to breaking points trying to read these novels at the last hour, following the buzz the novels generated online, with the hope of getting 25 marks.

dis jamb registrar or register self,i just dont knew d verb 2 qualify him self,last yr no calculator,dis yr novel whala afta wastin my precious time readin d novel self,afta i scan tru al d question,inshot he b lik say i dey dream,afta cramin al d xter in d novels frm obu 2 ifenne down 2 dat stuborn silence and david(d richest man)i wil continue 2 say dat coruption starts frm d grasrut and i dont belive it wil end so soon..just fèd up.
