Was Wole Soyinka Right? Maybe;
Maybe Not- Read This!

The recent war of words between the first
lady and Professor Wole Soyinka, if true by
any means, calls for serious caution!
But where these statements really made?
Because I never heard them personally:
1. My Husband and Sambo is a good people
2. The President was once a Child and the
Senators were once a Children
3. My Fellow Widows
4. A Good Mother takes care of his Children 5.
The people sitting before you here were once a
Children
6. Yes we are all happy for the effort,it is not
easy to carry second in an international
competition like this one – Addressing Press
men after Female Under 19 Fifa World Cup
7. The Bombers who born them? wasn’t it not a
woman? They were once a Children now a
adult now they are bombing women and
children making some children a widow
8. My Heart feels sorry for these Children who
have become Widows by losing their Parents
for one reason or another
9. We should have love for our fellow
Nigerians irrespective of their NATIONALITY?
10. vote UMBLERRA and press your finger for
UMBLERRA .
11. We all have HIV. Some Negative, some
positive
12. I rather kill myself dan commit suicide
13. My Husband Is The Best Couple On Earth.
14. Even though Ojukwu is dead but his
manhood lives on 15. I want to thank my father
and mother and even my parents.
I don’t think so? But if they were, then don’t
you think there should be a debate between
this grammarian and Prof wole Soyinka?
All For Laughs!!! ( Sarcastic And Humorous)

Many would have noticed the absence of The Polytechnic Ibadan from JAMB Online registration, while some who registered earlier and where able to choose the school would have the slot wasted!
The reason is this!

The Oyo state government have decided to establish a University of their own and they tend to anex all available resources they have, including all Human and material resources at Poly Ibadan, and some other institutions that are financed by the state government so that is why the poly was removed from JAMB website.

The problem arising from this is that it will leave so many student buying change of course if they don't want that slot wasted in their quest to gain admission.

And the students in the school are not sure what will become of them as the student in the main Campus think they should go "Uni" with the school and the other students at the Ojere campus are treated outside the case.

What ever the case may be, all the already admitted student in the school should be treated fairly and even if the NUC, Nigeria University Commission, have to come into it.

Let's just hope the good happens and the bad does not manifest!!!

Recently, Jamb has made some people really crazy, just like Most mails we’ve recieved from our Beloved readers, it says that their Jamb examination Day was fixed with their Waec Examination date.
However, there are only two Solutions.

→ Contact Jamb board.
→ But the best option is to meet the Principal of the school you’re writing the Waec Examination and explain things to him/her, i bet Most will understand You andhelp in any way they can.

But if you choose to contact JAMB, well, there’s good news for you, because JAMB has branch in almost the 36 States Of Nigeria.

But if you’re faced with any problem in the course of your JAMB UTME examination date, result or registration online?
Or if you have any question that no one can solve or don’t have an answer to, then you’ve got to visit the JAMB offices in your state or anyone nearest to you for more information.

Just like we’ve said above, the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) offices can be found, almost in every town in Nigeria.

Officials of the State Security Service, Niger State command, has apprehended 18 lecturers of the Niger State College of Education for alleged admission racketeering.

The provost of the institution, Professor Faruk Lawal who declined to speak on camera, told Channels Television that the syndicate was discovered when the school authority on suspicion of a foul play in the admission process decided to change the institution’s admission process.

He maintained that the lecturers who had been involved in the practice for more than 10 years were collecting money, ranging from fifty thousand to hundred thousand naira to admit students who did not have the Senior Secondary Certificate (S.S.C.E).

Professor Lawal disclosed that over 1000 students were affected, adding that investigation into the racket was on-going with a view to unmasking other members of the syndicate.
