The last days at Forcados College is the official literature text for JAMB 2015.

DESCRIPTION
Genre: Teen Fiction

ISBN: 978-0718157807
No of Pages: 89
Size: 130 x 198 mm

Publishers: Cassava Republic

The Last Days at Forcados High tells the story of Jimi Solade, the most popular boy at the elite Forcados High School. As he begins his final year in senior secondary together with his friends, the sweet-hearted and devout Nene and Ansa, the nerdy art genius, he’s determined it’s going to be his best year yet. But Jimi’s rogue brother, Wole, is back – which means trouble can’t be far behind. Then there’s Efua, the beautiful and mysterious new girl in class who seems to have no time for boys – including Jimi. But when Jimi’s mother falls ill, he realizes that things are about to change - and not necessarily in a good way.

A funny and honest book about self-discovery, family, friendship, tolerance and the highs and lows of life as a modern Nigerian teenager. Told in straightforward language, A.H. Mohammed never talks down to readers. Instead, Last Days stands out with its realistic situations, original characters and deft storytelling. It is at once entertaining and deadly serious, tackling a range of difficult issues including drug abuse, discrimination and loss, with intelligence and great writing.

AUTHOR
Abayomi Hanif Mohammed was born in Lagos, Nigeria. He obtained his medical degree from the University of Lagos and is currently a junior resident doctor at Lagos University Teaching Hospital. The Last Days at Forcados High is his first book.

REVIEWS

The last day at Forcados College thought a very valuable lesson. It reveals the disconnect between teachers and their students. It is thoroughly enjoyable; readers can relate with the story. - Tunde Femi

Chapter One

It was early in the morning and still dark when Jimi Solade woke up to someone shaking him roughly. He groaned and mumbled to himself, half asleep.

‘Jimi!’ He jerked fully awake at the sound of that familiar voice, it was is his brother.

‘Wole!’ Jimi said in surprise.

‘Yes , it’s me’ and his brother smiled in a way that showed only his upper teeth.

‘Man! What…?’ Jimi began. They stared at each other, delighted.

‘No greeting , little bro?’ Wole smiled again.

‘Sorry, but does anyone know you’re here? Does Daddy…?’ Jimi did not complete the sentence; instead he embraced his brother tightly,’I’ve missed you!’

Wole was thinner. Jimi could feel it.

‘Mum knows I’m here,” Wole said. He too did not mention their father. Just then, the alarm clock sounded. It was time for Jimi to get up, and he released his brother.

‘Go on, get ready for school,’ Wole said, stretching on the bed. ‘At least you seem happy to see me.’ He looked round the room at the carelessly flung shirts, jeans and boxer shorts over the chair, to the poster of the Manchester United football team on the wall above Jimi’s bed. A typical boy’s room. Another worn-out poster of Tupac Shakur was pasted on the opposite wall.

‘I didn’t remove it even though it’s an eyesore,’ Jimi said, grinning. ‘Everything’s is just as you left it.’

Wole squeezed Jimi’s arm lightly. He picked up something on the bedside table beside Jimi’s music CDs, chemistry and mathematics textbooks. ‘Man, this is some watch. Must have cost a mountain. You always get all the nicest things, why…?’

‘Wole, don’t touch my watch.’

‘What’s your problem? Can’t look at a watch?’

‘I’m sorry bro,’ Jimi muttered. ‘I’m glad to see you back – really – but,, you know…’

‘My cute, spoiled little brother… You grow taller every time I see you.’ Wole got up walked towards the door. ‘Don’t worry about the old bear. Better get ready for school. Er- I took some cash from your drawers, hope you don’t mind.

Sighing, Jimi plodded to the bathroom. Trust his brother to always collect things, but he was happy he was back. It was a new day and the beginning of his final school year. Like his brother, he was as tall and long-limbed as an athlete, though, unlike his brother, he had dimples when he smiled. He was sixteen years old and he was already sprouting a beard. He flexed his right arm noting that he had developed muscles. Good.

He whistled as he took his shower, refusing to think about the morning’s surprise. The reason why was long story; too long to think about on a brand new day.

Wole squeezed Jimi’s arm lightly. He picked up something on the bedside table beside Jimi’s music CDs, chemistry and mathematics textbooks. ‘Man, this is some watch. Must have cost a mountain. You always get all the nicest things, why…?’

‘Wole, don’t touch my watch.’

‘What’s your problem? Can’t look at a watch?’

‘I’m sorry bro,’ Jimi muttered. ‘I’m glad to see you back – really – but,, you know…’

‘My cute, spoiled little brother… You grow taller every time I see you.’ Wole got up walked towards the door. ‘Don’t worry about the old bear. Better get ready for school. Er- I took some cash from your drawers, hope you don’t mind.

Sighing, Jimi plodded to the bathroom. Trust his brother to always collect things, but he was happy he was back. It was a new day and the beginning of his final school year. Like his brother, he was as tall and long-limbed as an athlete, though, unlike his brother, he had dimples when he smiled. He was sixteen years old and he was already sprouting a beard. He flexed his right arm noting that he had developed muscles. Good.

He whistled as he took his shower, refusing to think about the morning’s surprise. The reason why was long story; too long to think about on a brand new day.

Having read selected comments on this post, i am afraid about the future of this country. With majority purporting that this is the best Nairaland can be....I disagree!

Rather than criticize the author of the post or rub mud on LIB why cant we focus on how to make Nairaland better?

Seun, lets put "Faces" to Nairaland. by this, I mean organise a social fora where members meet. say twice a year. the event will be funded by donations from members of this forum and companys who will agree to support the event.

I volunteer to write a comprehensive help page for Nairaland-I will like to have a contact who i can direct my questions to when scripti ng the page.

Nairaland can be better than what it is, instead of rubbishing this post, its author n LIB, lets join hands to make Nairaland better.

As a Nairaland user what do you have to offer?

Finally, Seun u n your team should make out time to read all the comments to this post with the aim of sieving the valuable comments from the "empty" ones n map out a strategy to implement the ideas, suggestions put forward by the right thinking members of the forum.

I cannot agree less with some of the points mentioned in the post, like Nairaland's frontpage contains trashy topics - When i compare the valuable, important information on nairaland with the less important information that makes the frontpage, i sometimes feel like shedding tears.

I hope this post will make the admins strike a balance between amusing and valuable posts. For example, there is a post about GRADUATE TRAINEE IN JAPAUL OIL AND MARITIME SERVICES - WHOSE DEADLINE IS SEPT 19, 2014. What stops the admins displaying it on the frontpage?

On several occasion, I have created posts on the need for Nairaland to introduce sponsored posts, like you have on facebook, linkedin, twitter - to increase the value users can get by using the portal and increase Nairaland revenue. I am still waiting to see its implementation.

Of course Linda Ikeji earns more than Nairaland, but you know what, Nairaland has the potential to earn as much as Linda Ikeji or more. But alot needs to be done. Like it has been pointed out, the appearance of the front page needs to be improved on - I beg the core users of this portal to be open to change, positive change.

I know that Nairaland has been a source of valuable information to many of us here, if my assumption is true, lets make Nairaland better than it is, by contributing ideas on how it can be better. Administrators, kindly provide a thread for this purpose.

As a webmaster, one of the problems i have with advertising on Nairaland, why I have not advertised on Nairaland is that there is no metrics to the success story of those who have advertised on this platform. Metrics like, conversion rates, unique click rates on adverts etc This measures needs to be put in place.

Also, the advert rate should be regularized to allow its users to place adverts. If linda Ikeji has wealthy users, it may be OK to put her adverts at exorbitant rates. If Nairaland users are mostly Middle or low income earners has claimed, NL should factor that into their advert rates so that more individuals can advertise. I bet you if this is done, you will be amazed at the result you will get in terms of increased revenue. For instance, I pay for sponsored advert weekly on my facebook fanpage. The payment is structured in a way that there is a plan for everybody.

Please, it is not enough to just visit Nairaland, its put heads together to think how we can make it better, services, revenue generation wise etc.

GOD BLESS NAIRALAND

There is a Yoruba adage that says, “A child who is good at asking questions will never lose his way”. Asking important questions is paramount to success. Ensure to interact with others who have passed through the level you are on the important things you ought to know.

Having the lecture time table for the semester is also essential. This is used in mapping out how to engage your free periods and to accustom yourself to the lecture venues and time.

AFTER GOAL SETTING AND PLANNING – WHAT NEXT?

ACTION AND EVALUATION.

After goal setting and planning, the necessary line of action spelt out in the plan must be executed. Also, it is important to review (evaluate) our goals regularly. This helps us to measure our progress. To see how many goals we have been able to achieve. To know what lapses there are with the aim of effecting change where it is required. It also helps us to consolidate on our strengths.

When a soup is being prepared, the cook tastes the soup to see it if tastes just right. Evaluation should be an ongoing process. “Too often, people think that evaluation should come only at the need of something. But, an evaluation at the end only helps one to plan for the future it comes too late to help you change if it’s done at the last hour” (Navamaga). Therefore, self-evaluation needs to be carried out as regularly as possible.

Our oldest turned 14, had been asking for a mobile phone, and following a fair amount of discussion and postponing the inevitable, we graciously relented. Here is the contract we asked him to sign upon relenting

Dear Son,

Happy birthday buddy! You’re now the proud owner of your first mobile phone. You’ve proven you can use your agency to make good decisions, and we’re excited to see how technology will enhance your decision making.

Below are rules and guidelines to be followed by owning a phone. Failure to comply with these rules will result in the termination of ownership.

1) Until you’re 18 and living on your own, all decisions about technology and ownership of devices will ultimately be at the discretion of Mom and Dad. We can take away your privileges at any time. We’ll know your passwords. We may check your device or browsing history from time to time. We’ll learn together and counsel with you on decisions. But what we say is final.

2) It may sound trite, but you really do hold more computing power in your hand than the entire Apollo 11 module that landed on the moon. Use it to do equally amazing things!

3) Create, don’t just consume. Avoid the trap of mindlessly consuming others’ thoughts and productions. Contribute to the global community by acting, not just being acted upon. To paraphrase Amy Petersen Jensen, leave an incredible “digital footprint” in this wonderful world you’re a part of.

4) Always remember that real life is better than any photo, status update, tweet, story, or video you’ll ever find online.

5) Digital technologies “need to be our servants, not our masters” (M. Russell Ballard). Be a master of the technology at your disposal. Not just your phone, but all technology.

6) Unless you become an undercover cop or Bruce Wayne’s protégé, you won’t mask your identity in real life. So don’t do it online either. Use your full name in usernames whenever possible. Exposing your true identity is a great way to keep virtual behavior in check.

7) “Do not text, email, or say anything through this device you would not say in person” (Janell Burley Hofmann).

“Download music that is new or classic or different than the millions of your peers that listen to the same exact stuff. Your generation has access to music like never before in history. Take advantage of that gift. Expand your horizons” (Janell Burley Hofmann).

if you are a student, undergraduate run to http://.com/resources make the best of the free resources provided there n failure will stay clear in your academics. thats not all find out the rest yourself

https://www.topuniversities.com/sites/qs.topuni/files/Norway%20student%20visa%20requirements.jpg
To study at an education establishment in the UK, such as a high school or university, students will need to get a visa. Prior to applying for this the institution where you intend to study must issue with a Certified Acceptance of Studies (a CAS) – our counselors can explain this further.

The number of CAS’s are tightly controlled as universities are responsible for the students they issue them to. Furthermore, the universities are given a limited number and they have to pay for each CAS they issue. The institution will only issue a CAS after you have applied to the university and been made an offer, and any deposits have been paid and other conditions fulfilled.

Once you have obtained the CAS and all the necessary supporting documents, you can start the application process. Be careful, too few documents may get your visa rejected! But at the same time too many may also get your visa rejected! The bottomline here is that you need the services of a professional to help, guide you through your VISA application process.

There are some documents, such as financial proof of funds which must be in particular accounts for a minimum number of days! As each student is different, it is important that you have a professional check that you have all the required documents you need.

To begin the application process, you need to go online and register an account and complete your personal details. When you have completed this and the account has been verified you then need to determine what Visa you need, a student visitor’s visa, tier 4 general student visa or a child visa.

The next step is to complete a variety of questions as what authority issued the passport, previous passports you have had, do you have any other nationalities, and where you live. The process will also take into account your travel history, where you have travelled to, when you have spent time out of your country and have you ever been deported from the UK or any other country, or have you been subjected to an exclusion order. The visa process will also assess whether you are a threat to the UK, so will be asked questions regarding links to terrorism or criminal activities. It is VITAL that you do not make any mistakes or omit any answers to these questions.
https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/u-h7agvv4b/bureaux-intro-image680x380.jpg
It is best to have these details checked by a professional. And be careful – do not simply rely on what your friend did, or what your parents think is the best answer. The visa regulations change frequently. Only rely on an organisation that keeps up to date and handles many visas to ensure you have the top chance for success.

When the application has been completed you will need to pay for the visa application and make an appointment with the visa office for the purpose of giving your biometrics and interview. The interview can be very daunting as the visa officers have been tasked to probe you and ascertain t he veracity of your application. To do this, they will assess your finances, how long they have been in your account, and where the funds originated from. Should you have travelled overseas before, you will be questioned over this and the reasons why.
