Everyone agrees it’s a necessity to look good, that’s why we take our time to visit a barbing saloon for a cut.

Imagine having to spend hours waiting in queue for a barber with lots of other customers also waiting in queue just like you. Well, that time is Past!

There are lots of online platform you can instantly get a professional barber with just a few clicks and Workclick is just my favourite of such platform.

The 2017/2018 JAMB forms might start selling anytime soon. In fact, it might be out for sale anytime from next month(November).

Whining about the negatives of the new JAMB policy is not alone, it is also very important to brace prospective applicants for this new development should this law be approved by the executive.

Here are things to do that can help you secure an admission place in the coming JAMB exam.

Start Studying Now
As the old saying goes “the earlier, the better”. Whatsoever you intend doing successfully, it’s a must you start it as early as possible. This will keep you on a better pace ahead of others. This does not, however, mean reading every text books and notes you have at home; SMART reading is the key here. Study past questions, attempt questions on your own, attend extra coaching if you can afford it, create or join a study group (this increases your level of commitment), create a study plan and follow it religiously, etc.

Research well on choice of school
This is where almost all applicant gets it wrong. I bet by now every applicant should have been able to identify his/her week points, know his/her abilities and as well understand how far/well they can do in a test. This is very necessary in making the right choice when selecting a school.

Not everyone can be admitted by the likes of UI, UNN, Unilag, Unizik, Unilorin, OAU and other first generation universities. Moreover, it’s now a well-known fact that these schools always have large number of applicants that far…far exceeds their admission capacity. Why still gamble with a whole year of your time trying to secure admission in such schools when you know you’re probably of average performance. There are other quality federal/state universities scattered across other parts of Nigeria that have equally good facilities and learning environments you can apply to.

In reality, the emergence of good private universities like Covenant, Babcook and others in that regard have exposed the inadequacies of our so called big guns. They are now only leaving on past glory that majority of their present graduates cannot defend. Schools like ATBU, Usman Dan Fodio University, ESUT, IBB University Lapai, LAUTECH, EKSU, AKSU, and others can give you all you need to be a successful graduate.

Consider Private Universities
We now have private universities that have relatively cheaper fees compared to Covenant, Babcock etc. Schools like Paul University, Awka, Oduduwa University, Salem University, Madonna University etc. should also be considered. You are almost certain of automatic admission if you choose these universities as long as you meet the JAMB national cut-off.

Get Good Grades in O-Level Result
This is another serious thing to consider. First make sure you have good grades in your o-level results, as it’s well known that almost, if not all institutions now make use of o-level results to calculate their screening. It is thus very important to make sure you secure good grades in your forth-coming SSCE Internal/External examinations.

Prayer
Prayer is the last but not the least of things to do. Studying hard alone cannot make you achieve success, there are other factors that also determine success some of which at times are beyond human control. Committing your plans to God’s hands make things easier. When you have played your own part completely, then God will know he has a part to play and as far as He is concerned, he would never want to be the cause of anyone’s failure.

That’s it. Study, Research, Weigh your options and pray. It is the surest way to be an undergraduate by 2017/2018.

MizMyColi:
Please Help.

My windows start menu, cortana, volume, edge and most microsoft applications no longer open.

What do I do please

Download and install windows 10 Pro. I had the same issue, in my own case the sleep option disappeared, I was unable to reduce or increase the screen brightness and a lot of my software i.e antivirus all stopped working. I tried updating all the drivers all to no avail until I finally reverted back to win 8.1 and did a fresh installation of the new win10.ISO I downloaded.

SagePAUL:
how do we contact the admin
give a link to the portal

@SagePaul by now you should have known that that poster is a scammer. JAMB... I repeat JAMB will never ask you to contact ANYONE for ANY INFO concerning admission those guys don't even reply e-mails nor complaints lodged to them by indeviduals. I know this cos I have tried severally to send them mails to get direct info about the posting stuff, and there was no reply. Instead their portal was updated for more clarifying info. Always visit their official website as EVERY INFO you need about jamb can be gotten from their official website www.jamb.gov.ng. Anything aside from this is SCAM! @Mr. Fabian the scammer, GOD is watching you and I will not only leave it to God alone, I'm also duty bond to educate and alert unsuspecting admission seekers who out of desperation have lost their sense of rational thinking of who you are or your Modus Operandi. "Silence is a crime where their is injustice."

This system is total rubbish... At least before a candidtate seat for an exam he or she must have been informed about criteria needed for admission...every candidates priority before JAMB was to score above 180 or 200 and above in other to create eligibility for PUME... Now the stupid FG just popped up with a very useless idea where candidates that score 186 will be admitted leaving behind another that scores 220 a in the name of a particular course cut off mark... If this candidates where informed about this blatant system and at least let them know every course now has it cut off mark, I bet you 90% will opt in for a change of course to further their chance of admission in relation to their jamb score and course cut off mark... Now those with 220 won't be admitted and some with 189 will be admitted... Like I use to say, the destiny of any average Nigerian lays In the arms of our government. They now decide our future...

This is sensible

neocortex:
Tell me which reasonable government dictates to the universities
on how to admit their students ?

Change is evil if the result will be chaos.

The only people happy with this directive are those afraid of failing
Post-UTME.
Tertiary institutions must be allowed to determine their own admission process.

Seconded

This policy is too secretive. As I type I've seen someone with 181 a score lower compared to mine being posted for admission same school, same course. How come? Note I'm from a state which qualify as both catchment and ELDS for the said institution.

JOOHEL:
if

What's your jamb score,were you posted to your institution of choice, and given the exact course you applied for?

Prepme:
More University POST-UTME materials have been added, those preparing for the exams should make good use of the materials at www.study-preps.com

Also appreciate the work and effort put in making the materials accessible in one place by commenting there.

I'm very familiar with the school, and from their uniforms, it certain they are both boys. Their females put on this "Simbi" kind of uniform. Seem more to me like they are probably play fighting or at worse fighting for real.

Farewell president Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan. To evreythin there is time Thank you for availing yourself. Thank you for showing us the step. Thank you for changing the course. Thank you for carrying the cross. You bear the pain. You accepted the blame. You were faulted in all. You were mocked. You were insulted. You were hated You were dishonored. You were disregarded. You were riddiculled. You were reduced to nothing. Yet you absorbed all. What kind of man? Nigerians were horrified running,waiting for the fate of the nation in 2015 election. Africa was on the watch perhaps to create a refugee camp. The world was waiting perhaps to send peacekeapers. Then you made that call,one call that changed the whole scene. Those that supported you looked like dreamers. Those that were against you pondered a long time in their heart. What kind of man? I never thought it could happen, I never thought. You dignified Nigerians before Africa and the world. You changed the story of the nation. You sacrificed all,all,your dignity, your immunity,your honor,your respect,your title,your power,just to save this nation from drowning,and you saved her. TODAY,as you bow out,we pray the peace you left behind will follow Nigeria,I can see your footprint on African political soil,Wherever Nelson Mandela is mention,GEJ will be mentioned,I promise to tell my children and anyone who cares to know,about you,In this last minute I say to you sir 'farewell' farewell, farewell. I salute you.

God bless you for this write up. I'm thinking of posting a farewell message for him on my facebook page too. Permit me to use some of your words, it's so touching.

Demmocrats:
The man that humbly bowed out so me and you will enjoy peace.



The same man that never reply obj even when the beast attacks him of the same type of crime him obj has committed in a more amplified manner.



The same man that have taken all the blames of others even when he never committed the crimes.


I know he failed in some areas but his still human and still deserve our respect which those governors are doing.



The summary of everything his still human with weakness just like any other human and I still respect him to the core for his humility which is also a quality from God.


A true statesman unlike the other one that still rants his mouth like a nagging old woman

God bless you for this post, you just spoke my mind.

He still remains one of the few Nigerians I love cause of his humility not to forget that my Dad so much love this man like hell all cause of his simplicity.

dokyOloye:
I was in Niger state for 2 weeks recently and I was shocked by what I saw.
Very well educated and mannered ppl wt better standard of living.
I am talking of ppl living in d villages,but U can't say that for D whole of Kano state.

Where in Niger State did you visit? cos aside some areas in the state capital(Minna), majority of the rests are uneducated. I even visited a village about 20 minutes away from the village and lots of peeps I met on the way can neither speak nor understand English even the so called students in their uniforms.

Though I'll agree with you they are well mannered.

Please, I scored 193 in my CBT test, and I want to study computer science in Lautec, is there any hope for me?

Government alone shouldn't take the blame. I'll also blame it on the student for their careless and inconsiderate attitude towards the maintenance of the school premises, and the teachers for not doing their duty of enforcing sanity.

A simple look at one of the picture with the inscription "EKO Project 2012/2013" is enough pointer to indicate that the school has experienced the intervention of the government recently. I'm not trying to defend Fashola's administration, but with a clear conscience would you blame the government for broken chairs littered all around, ceilings obviously destroyed and classroom looking tattered and dirty? or should we always expect government intervention on a yearly basis.

If you are familiar with Sari Iganmu Secondary school, you will understand what I'm talking about. It a school I've known before it was renovated and even after renovation. Try and visit the school and you would be surprised.

I vote Amefrica.
