Mrshape: I posted my review of the JAMB UTME mathematics examination and my expectations, but unfortunately, that result was put under investigation, and the exam was later cancelled. A new date was set for the rescheduled examination. I have been posting updates about the examination.
This morning, I checked the result, and here is the score I obtained. My physics and chemistry were within my expectations, but my mathematics and English were below my expectations. Well next week I will be participating in the David English competition winning prize is #500,000. Any one is qualified to join, I invite you all to join me, this week edition of the David English competition was won by a young secondary school girl of less than 16 years of age
Hello @Mrshape, congratulations are in order. Your confidence in your ability, consistency, and self-belief is out of this world! Of notice is your calmness when being called out regarding this JAMB issue on this forum. I presume you already bagged a B.Sc in another field, since you do teach mathematics and also own a school, based on your previuos post. If this is true, would you consider using your first undergraduate degree to apply for M.Sc in Data Science in the United States. I have no doubt that you will blast the GRE and get a GA with full tuition waiver and monthly stipend. If it's something you would like to consider, please, let me know. Please, pardon me if being an enterprenuer already ( a school owner ) , this is not in your list of priority. Once again, congratuations. I wish you the best!
Mrshape: My exam was scheduled for Friday, the 21st at 6:30 am. I had to lodge in a hotel. Fortunately, the center I was posted to was the WAEC international CBT center, and WAEC has a hotel inside the compound called the Academy Guest House. The room was legit; I would rate it 10/10. That evening, I started playing my audiobook for "The Life Changer" and revising some points by scrolling through the syllabus.
By 6:00 pm on Thursday, I went out to get more food, but the road was flooded. Fortunately, I saw an auto rickshaw heading to the junction. Originally, I planned to buy beans. A portion of beans was #1,500, but something told me to buy other things as their beans might not be good. My favorite beans are from Kilimanjaro in Aduwawa. One time, they even asked for my name because I often called to order beans, sometimes up to four times a week. Their beans used to be 10/10 four years ago when they used pomo to cook it. Now, I would rate it 8/10, but they are still the best. However, Kilimanjaro at Benin City Mall is still okay; they are onion specialists, with a 1:1 ratio of beans to onions, I perceive. So, I decided to buy pounded yam and vegetable soup, sardine Bread and also shawarma.
The shawarma was very big, about 25 to 30 cm long. For those not familiar with the size, it was as long as a long ruler, with a base area of approximately 16πcm². For those not familiar with area, you can think of it like the base of a Coca-Cola bottle.
When I got back to my room, I started with the beans, but the taste was not good at all. So, I switched to the bread. The sardine bread was amazing; I had never tasted anything like it. I was almost dislodging the bread to 50% when I remembered I had not eaten the shawarma, It tasted very nice. My stomach was already rebelling against my wishes at this point. I had to pause eating and put the beans, pounded yam, vegetable soup, and the remaining two-thirds of the shawarma in the refrigerator. I went to the bathroom and took a hot shower. Afterward, I came back to the room, switched on the AC, and lay on my bed. The white soft duvet was very helpful; I buried myself in it and started using my phone. I used my phone until 2:00 am the next morning, then plugged it in and slept off. I woke up around 5:30 in the morning. I got some bread and went to join the queue for biometrics verification.
When I got there, I observed they were calling names. I asked another mature candidate if it was names they were using now. He was also surprised, so we decided to check the situation. We went to the third floor and inquired from the biometrics woman. She said it was just two names; I assumed they were special students or students with special needs. I told the guy we should go back, but he said he couldn't and jumped the queue, standing in front of a small boy. I simply went down and returned to my original place in the queue. After some time, I was reflecting on something that came to my mind: how old was Bint in the novel "The Life Changer"? My mind was reflecting on 8 or 9 years. I took an excuse from the person ahead of me, ran back to my room, picked up my phone, and checked. I found out that Bint was five years old. I quickly put my phone under the bed as I don't trust hotel rooms, and went back to the queue.
Finally, we all did the biometrics and went to the waiting room, there was seats for everyone to sit in the waiting room and even extra. A man who looked like a Northerner, based on his attire, addressed us and encouraged anyone who was impersonating to leave the hall now, as it was safe to do so. He said that impersonators and those with technical issues were the reasons for the delay. Nobody left the hall, so he said if they caught anyone impersonating, they would be sent to Abuja. Finally, they directed us to the computer room where we all took turns to find our numbers and sit in our seats, the computer screen was big and better than the one in my previous exam. They said the exam would commence at 8:30 am, but the waiting time felt like up to 2 hours. I can't be sure because there was no device to tell the time.
Finally, the exam started. The first subject displayed on my screen was Mathematics. Jesus! Christ, the math difficulty was quadruple that of the previous exam. Not that they couldn't be solved, but they required time. Some questions that really surprised me were the median of grouped data and special trigonometric functions. Math shouldn't be a problem for me, but this time, it was consuming all my time. At the end of the math exam, I had about 55 minutes left, so I went to English. The English difficulty level was normal compared to the previous one. Then came Chemistry. Its difficulty level was the same as the previous exam. In the end, I was left with about 11 minutes for Physics. Physics was very easy; I regretted not starting with it. Unfortunately, I didn't solvesome of the calculations that will take much time; I eliminated options to get the answer, while the non-calculation questions were straightforward.
After the exam, I went to my room, but I couldn't find my phone under the bed where I had hidden it, and I think my bread has changed position and now tightly tied, I went to the front desk to complain. They said nothing gets missing in the hotel and started calling the person who cleaned the room. Then I decided to check the locker and found that the person had kept the phone in the locker for me. I felt so humbled. I hid the phone from the hotel staff in case they came to clean the room and might steal it, but they found it and kept it safe for me.
Immediately after I left the hotel, I checked my result, hoping to see it immediately. Unfortunately, it wasn't out yet, and it still isn't out at this moment.
Expected score
Math 98±2 English 85±8 Chemistry 72±10 Physics 85±10 Total = 340±30
Whao, nice diction! I am optmistic that you will do very well. Fingers crossed regarding the result. I hope all will be well this time. Thanks for the update.
Mrshape: My UTME result which was under investigation by JAMB for more than a month has just been rescheduled, To be written on the 22nd of this month. I am happy it was rescheduled, because I no longer have confidence in the integrity of the result that would have been released, due to the delay it looks suspicious (personal taught though).
Another reason why I am happy is that this time around it will give me opportunity to get 100/100 in mathematics, as they will be very careful with the questions they are going to set and make sure it follows the syllabus, as this exam is to test the ability of those who they think where involved in examination misconduct maybe did to their high score (person taught though).
For all those that have followed me on nairaland asking for updates, thank you, and tis is where we are now. I must finish the journey.
Hello @Mrshape, could you, please, provide an update regarding the re-written JAMB exam? Some of us are interested in your enthusiasm and positive outlook.
Pmedia7787: This person doesn't have any other skill set apart from the above ?
Hello, thanks for your comment. However, a fresh graduate from the university may not have all the hard skill sets of an experienced individual. This individual does possess soft skill sets . Not all undergraduate courses have the internship (SIWES) components. Of course, fresh graduates are expected to have the regular soft skills plus being computer literate, which my acquaintance possesses . Aside being good in the area of communications, this individual also learnt cosmetology ( hair styling, skin-care, nail care, make-up, and marketing of beauty & care products). Getting a PPA in any media or beauty outfit is kind of perfect, though the primary aim is to get a PPA in Ibadan so as to be in close proximity with the resource centers for personal development. In case you could be of help, it would be much appreciated.
An acquaintance of mine just got redeployed from one of the states in the North-Central to Oyo State. The individual needs a PPA within Ibadan metropolis due to some personal developmental programs they intend to undertake simultaneously while serving their fatherland. The resource organizations for achieving this are located within Ibadan. The field of study is English Language/Communications (B.Sc). Please, any referral for a place of primary assignment within Ibadan will be highly appreciated. Thanks
lhordspy: Good evening sir. The thing is if you wear a mask go too long, one day you will remove your face while trying to pull it off.
Everything you type up there sums up who you really are and your reason for your choice. You are nothing but a religious bigot.
Nothing less, nothing more. Shalom.
Peace be unto you. The substance of the matter remains what it is. I put it you that when Datti becomes a real 'political nightmare', your nice comments about him will change. That's all. Have a good evening.
omonnakoda: If Obi did not visit any SW Oba that would be different This seems to be passing a message Lagos is No Man's land
This comment, ' Lagos is no man's land' , is very wrong. If you want to state this based on the fact that Lagos was once the FCT of Nigeria, what about Abuja? Can someone just go to Abuja and be bragging that it's no man's land? Lagos has the original indigenes (natives). Go and read the history of Lagos. At least, it's more reasonable for the Yorubas to lay claim to Lagos, but for other tribes, this is not correct. I am sure no Yoruba person can go to Onitsha or Kano, and be bragging that those two mentioned cities are nobody's land!. You know what the consequence will be! I amPeter Obi's supporter but this statement is very annoying.
That being said, Nigeria is our dear country, and as Nigerians, we have equal rights to live, reside, trade, and work in any part of the country irrespective of tribes and culture.
omonnakoda: So why did Peter Obi come to Lagos and refuse to pay homage to the Oba. He has visited other SW States and paid homage to Obas Instead he came to Lagos to engage in a street walk,obstructing traffic and causing unfinished hardship for commuters
Is this part of the Lagos is No Man's land agenda of Ibos who insist Lagos is not Yoruba land? Is this what Lagosians can expect from him if he wins
Did Tinubu visit Oba of Benin when he campaigned in that state? How many Traditional Rulers did Tinubu visit when he went to South East to campaign? Even if Obi did, it won't still increase his number of votes. Besides, why visit an Oba who is not only obviously partisan but also an individual whose public comments about other ethnic groups leave so much to desire regarding the unity of this country? Oba of Lagos is inside the pocket of APC; even the APC politicians do not respect him. I'm very sad as a Yoruba guy to admit this, but it is what it is!
Ttalk: It is said that Peter Obi attracted the worst of people who believe Buhari is dead and replaced with El Jubril of Sudan.
You just confirmed that assertion, you are too slow
Incoherence as been transmitted to you by Baba Emilokan, who will be digressing from the focus of discussion. You are as confused as Tinubu who always forgets and gaffes. You definitely need help, SULEY.
NEXTIER, PETER OBI AND THE FARCICAL ELECTION POLL RESULT
We are constrained as a matter of public record to react to another farcical Presidential Election Poll result released by an organisation that calls itself Nextier, a public policy advisory firm that overnight turned itself into a Nigerian Gallup Poll or Ipsos.
We are reacting for the sake of unsuspecting Nigerians, so that they are not misled by the Patrick Okigbo-led organisation, which appears to have the agenda to create confusion and chaos in our country.
For a start, Nigerians should know that promoters of Nextier are members of Mr. Peter Obi’s Presidential Campaign Council and active campaigners for the Labour Party Presidential Candidate.
Any poll conducted by such intensely partisan and prejudicially tainted organisation should be taken with a pinch of salt.
This is apart from the fact that the sample size of the so-called poll and methodology employed cannot stand any integrity test.
It is quite ludicrous that Nextier Poll that projects a clean sweep of the South East Region at over 90% of registered votes also puts Peter Obi ahead of APC Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the six South West States including Lagos.
Assuming without absolutely conceding that Peter Obi will enjoy home advantage in his part of the country, we then wonder why the pollsters at Nextier, if they have any modicum of respect for the intellect of Nigerians, thought the factors that will propel landslide victory for Obi in South east will not work for the APC candidate in his own South West base.
Nextier Pollsters also put Labour Party ahead of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party Candidate in his home state of Adamawa.
How more ridiculous can Nextier Pollsters get?
Nextier Pollsters called the entire South South Region for Labour Party at 60% in Akwa-Ibom, the base of Chairman of PDP presidential campaign council.
The partisan pollsters gave Bayelsa 62.9% to Labour Party and also claimed LP would win Delta 65.9 %, home of PDP Vice Presidential Candidate.
The jesters in Nextier also claimed Obi would win Rivers by 77.8%, Edo 76.9% and Cross Rivers 63.2%. It did not matter to them that in these states, Labour Party has no serving councillor in any ward.
The summary of Nextier's so-called face-to-face nationwide poll is that Peter Obi is the preferred candidate of 37% of Nigerians with a conclusion that the Presidential election will go into a run-off.
We make bold to say this is wishful thinking without any basis in fact and reality.
It is important to alert Nigerians and the international community that the Pollsters at Nextier are working for the Labour Party and their poll results are all cooked up, far away from reality.
We suspect that their first and second fallacious poll results are pretext to cause political crisis and riots in Nigeria after the February 25. They may be preparing ground for violent protest by Obi supporters who will allege rigging when their candidate is roundly defeated at the election, in which he is not likely to even come a distant 3rd.
We want to state categorically that Peter Obi is not a major contender in the coming presidential election in Nigeria and no fantasy and fairytale poll can change the material facts.
We want to put it on record that Nextier Poll is useless for three reasons:
First, the sample size of 3,000 is statistically too insignificant in an election with over 93 million registered voters and admits greater margins of error than claimed.
Second, the distribution of the sample neither reflects voter demographics nor variations in voters turnout across states.
Third, the main objective of Nextier Poll is to report a predetermined conclusion so that when Labour Party loses by wide margin, its rabid supporters can embark on another violent protests, similar to the destructive #ENDSARS riots of 2020.
Bayo Onanuga Director, Media and Publicity APC Presidential Campaign Council February 5, 2023
Bayo Onanuga and Dele Alake's job is a difficult one. All they do is to spin stories around Tinubu; his gaffes, his outbursts and those esoteric behavior of his. I don't envy the job of these guys at all; it's a brain racking one, which ends up depleting one's level of previously built integrity
cocolacec: The Igbo Muslim association of Nigeria herby declare our unflinching support for our brother,father,leader as the next President of Federal Republic of Nigeria. A vote for Asiwaju is a vote for progress,stability,unity and development.
[quote author=Mfetenang post=120670247][/quote]You can say that again, brother. Majority of Yoruba Christians say NO to MUSLIM-MUSLIM Ticket, and to a Paul Biya wannabe!
blamingthedevil: I will become president of Nigeria before Obi- Deji
Make him go contest for Counsellorship election first so that we can estimate his political value. 'Deji is simply a political jobber. He is currently out of real political free money job. Hence, he wants to use Obi to trend. No one currently knows where he belongs. Peter Obi is a two-term governor in Nigeria, and a former Bank Chairman. Let . 'Deji, joor mu resume e wa na, mo fe wo nkan kan ( please, Deji, bring your resume, I wanna check something)
FreeStuffsNG: You are playing too much on the social media. Nobody takes lp and Mr Obi serious so all your fake polls by lp and lp proxies have no meaning. Below is what awaits lp based on the last Osun state election which APC officially won in Osun.
Ogbeni, that was a governorship election. Even if the LP guber candidate, Lasun, had contested under PDP or APC against either of Adeleke or Oyetola, he would have been defeated still. He doesn't have the clout. Presidential election is different from guber. That does not mean Obi will win Osun but he will definitely put up a decent performance in Osun; not as bad as that LP guber. In the whole of South West, Osun and Ekiti will be where Obi's performance will not be that significant, but he will still score close to 25 %.
Whao, this is very refreshing. A new Nigeria is, indeed, POssible. See as I dey dance where I dey. It reminded me of the cultural troupe of high school days. Many thanks to my wonderful Yoruba people for choosing character, competence, and capacity over Baba Emilokan, whose demential is getting worse by the day. We can't afford to have another Paul Biya of Cameroon or Salva Kiir of South Sudan!
Exclusive101: Yorubas are no long hiding but speaking out on chosing to vote Tinubu as the right candidate to lead Nigeria.
See attached, even on Tundeednut page the push back is now in full swing. I told foolish ipob Igbo insulting Yorubas the insult will online alienate Yorubas from supporting the Pandora criminal but they think they overwise.
Oh, you guys now believe in online polls and activities, right? Anyways, I guess those are the regular APC and Tinubu's beneficiaries. Many Yorubas like me will not vote for Tinubu. Peter Obi is miles ahead of him in terms of capacity, character, competence, and sanity. Character is everything! We know the primary school and secondary school Peter Obi attaneded. However, Tinubu's trajectory only started from the USA. We know what he's hiding; his true age and real identity. Everything about him is very shady. What kind of President will he become?
Ttalk: It is said that Peter Obi attracted the worst of people who believe Buhari is dead and replaced with El Jubril of Sudan.
You just confirmed that assertion, you are too slow
You must be a scammer who likes to shift the goal post. Go back to the initial conversation and plot the graph of correlation, and see what the pattern looks like. Your level of comprehension is damn sickening to say the least!
Obi will get more than 25%. In 2019 election PDP won the state despite APC being the leading party in the state. This time, it's gonna be between LP and APC. PDP is out of the equation, trust me. Not even now that the likes of Mimiko is against Atiku. He will definitely work against his own party. So, the battle is between APC and LP in Ondo state. And it's going tobe between Christians and Muslims! I know people don't like to hear that but it is what it is!
Ttalk: You are very stupid, when you were creating none existing dichotomy and inciting religion hatred among Yoruba you didn't see anything bad in that but you are called out for your foolishness and you start to form in the mouth.
The hands of UGM will soon visit your family if you don't leave SW out of your delusion and senseless opinion
In case you are suffering from amnesia, I will remind you again that I be Omo Yoruba atata! I won't descend so low in cursing you and your family because we are not the same. It does not cause me anything to reply you same way, but I won't. May you and your family be protected from evil people, and may Nigeria find peace!
Ttalk: Nyanmiri have never won any battle in Nigeria, be it physical or in politics, so shift
There is always the first time. People called Buhari a perennial loser of presidential election in 2014/2015 election but he later won. The narrative will change. Watch out. I need not tell you again that I be Yoruba ponbele but my vote goes to a more competent person in Peter Obi., who happens to tick all the boxes: competence, capacity, and fairness.
Ennoloa: Did the people that killed Dr Akunyili's, did they kill her because of religion i.e Blasphemy, or it's a political assassination
That is exactly what I'm trying to point out. Killers of Akunyili never killed him due to religious blasphemy. Killers of Deborah killed because of religious blasphemy. It's that simple. So, I don't understand the similarity the guy is trying to point out!
Ttalk: You are dumber than the dullest in your lineage.
I talked about SW that voted Christians as governor you saying another thing.
I can see that you lack manners. I won't talk about your lineage because they are never part of this conversation. Doing so, will make me be on the same low level like you.
On election day you would start accusing Yoruba Christians for betraying you after that you accuse the Northerners for voting Atiku as El-Rufai is already panicking
I suspect you are not worth the time based on your level of thinking! How can you be comparing apple and yam. The killers of Dr Akunyili's husband were not religious fanatics. The killers of Deboral are religious fanatics who killed in the name of their GOD, fighting for their GOD. IS that too hard for you to comprehend?
Ttalk: Your epistle is not needed, you are a grade a IPOB general. Yoruba Muslim and Yoruba Christian is only idea that emanates from IPOB and would remain with IPOB, your nonsense dichotomy has no place in SW
Again, I have no point to prove to you. Even though I invited you to the palace of Osemawe, and he confirms to you that he knows my parents, you will still argue, and shift the conversation saying maybe I was a bastard!
You will experience the Christiann Muslim dichotomy for the very first time in SW and this will shock you!
Education › Re: My Supplementary Utme Result Has Been Released by Abelai: 11:54pm On Jun 27, 2024
