go to a bank and make an inquiry on how to open a master card account

try any of the two sites,there is nothing like scam there,you are covered when you are using them as long as you are genuine,you can file a case if anything happens to your purchase.i only buy new and used phones there,i have never bought a refurbish phones there so i wouldn't know if what you are asking is if the seller is lying about the faults the phone had.well if that is your question.you can ask seller questions about the item before buying and if at the end it didn't match what you paid for you can work it out with the seller or file a case if the seller is proving stubborn.

marleygab:
you can try www.buylaptopsinnigeria.com. i assure you it works, you'll have to pay to a bank account though but your purchase will definitely be brought to you intact.

muyoto:
they are both correct.

Abolishing post-UME, not the answer

Due to the increasing gap between the numbers of candidates seeking admission and available admission slots, there has been increased pressure on the process. This pressure led lead to increased cases of admission fraud. The announcement by our lawmakers to abolish the post-University Matriculation Examination (UME) test has been raising dust. While some oppose the motion, many support it.

The question now is, if post-UME is scrapped then how credible is the UME results? Will the House of Representatives make sure examination malpractices are reduced to the barest minimum? The examination and admission procedure has indeed failed.

I witnessed an ugly event in 2009 on the day of the UME examination somewhere in Obiagu, Enugu State. I was drawn close by a youthful crowd; they were clustered and running about. I was curious then I joined the crowd. Behold our prospective undergraduates were busy getting solutions to the same UME questions they were about to write. I was not surprised owing to the fact that some officials of JAMB were their willing collaborators.

Just like the American Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) and the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), the UME test should to an extent be used to predict a potential students’ performance in the university. A candidate with a high GRE or SAT score is a potential candidate for financial aid and scholarship opportunities; such candidate is also expected to graduate summa cumlaude in the US colleges. In Nigeria this is not the case; many high scoring candidates in the UME perform very poorly in the university.

In my just concluded project, I sought to find out the correlation between the UME scores and the post-UME scores and the correlation between UME scores and the students Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA). The results indicated a weak relationship between the entry examinations and the students’ performances. I went further using Regression Analysis to develop a model which was to be used to predict the students’ CGPA using the CGPA, UME scores and post-UME scores as the variables. The study revealed that the predictive model developed cannot be used to predict the students CGPA since the scores were found to be unrealistic indicators of the future performance of the students.

Undergraduate students’ performance in the university does not really depend on their scores in the entry examinations; be it UME or post-UME. Other factors like excellent learning environment, good accommodation, supportive lecturers and security of lives and properties play very important roles in the students’ academic performances. A friend at the Abia State University complained to me that he would be writing his first semester examination. He was sad; the reason was that he was going to write seven courses in four days, worst of all writing courses which have not been introduced by the lecturers. This and many other factors result in poor grades. For these reasons the female student go the extra mile to get down with male lecturers, all in the name of "marks". So, even when JAMB and the universities test the student’s knowledge, they get to the universities to contend with unfriendly lecturers; lecturers who do not respect their customers (students).

Post-UME candidates have had to put up with different challenges encountered in the name of writing screening tests. Commendable are the University of Ilorin, University of Lagos and University of Jos that stepped higher to conduct computer-based tests. They were really applauded for doing this, yes! But the managements of these universities did not consider candidates coming from disadvantage backgrounds. Some of them didn’t know how to move the mouse! The aim of a computer-based test is to enable the candidates get an on-the-spot result after the test. This was not the case at the University of Jos; the university released the admission list without releasing the scores of the candidates. A candidate has the right to know his or her performance, pass or fail, in an examination.

Candidates who have written post-UME in other schools have complained of writing subjects outside the programme they applied for. In 2008, candidates who applied to study English Language and other Art related courses at the University of Abuja were made to write Islamic Studies as part of the post-UME test. For me, this was done to shelve away candidates of a particular conviction. Yet the university prides itself as a catchment area for the all states in Nigeria. Accommodation is another challenge these young Nigerians face during the screening test.

There is more to abolishing the post-UME, if the test must be scrapped, JAMB must put its house in order and conduct a malprac
