So they shouldn't advertise the exams. They should let only a few take the exams. You prefer that thousands would complain of not taking the exam. You don't think everyone should be given a fair chance of proving he/her self.
You said they don't cheat with CBT? You know nothing Jon Snow.
Job snow kor Ed stark ni.

Cheating with CBT is minimal.

What is the difference between JAMB'S inefficiency and the corruption happening in these Schools where the ratio of Merit to Connection on the admission lists is 20:80%?

You don't get it.
They refused to include these new courses in the admission package because they already had a devious plan to generate almost 200 million Naira with fresh forms when the students got desperate after missing out on a few lists.

Why was there uproar about the shady Immigration recruitment exercise where multitudes were invited to an exam with very few slots?

I'm sitting on the fence as far this decision is concerned.

Nigeria always has a way of making even the best policies look haphazard.

But to cite cheating in JAMB as a reason for the opposition against scraping Post-UTME is mostly unreasonable.

As far as I know, cheating in JAMB is almost unachievable these days with CBT.

The funny thing is these corrupt and hypocritical schools also accuse JAMB of corruption, when in fact they are the masters of corruption.

A student scores really high, then sits back to see people with much inferior scores getting admitted into the choicest courses while the better students get nothing!

If it's only for the benefit of students, why do they generate massive amount of money from the scheme.
Many schools generate over 500 million Naira from the scheme and everyone is ignoring such blatant extortion.


These rogues even keep extending application deadline when it's obvious they have very limited slots.

FUTA last year, released a supplementary form for new courses late into the admission processes just to capitalize on the desperation of students who had already missed earlier lists.
They raised the fee of course generating close to 200 million Naira. even though they needed to fill just about 800 slots, they advertised all over Social and print media and ended up getting around 26,000 applicants.

Let FG scrap Post UTME as from next year and work really hard to ensure JAMB rewards students proportionally to their efforts.

funny!

The petition is filled with misplaced priorities.

If we are to talk about injustice and selling of admission to less worthy candidates, these schools are to blame.

They admit 10 on merit and 80 on 'connection'.

SAT is entirely different. Plus not all schools in America require SAT. Plus you can rewrite SAT up to 6 times a year
What is entirely different about SAT aside the format?

Don't they also require meeting a school specified cut off? (for schools that need SAT)

It's even written up to six times a year.

More like certain Man UTD fans are already looking at a "Pep failure" as a basis for giving Mourinho an "initial pass". I don't give two fvcks about Pep. The only reason this pains me is because, as with LVG's start, VERY FEW gave David Moyes this kind of "initial pass". Sacking that man, is the root cause of UTD's woes and will continue for some more seasons still!
Moyes that took us to 7th from first?

I even stopped watching football then. Lol

No matter how patient a club is, you'd get fired in that circumstance.

Only dull students speak this way... have you written an international exams before Eg SAT or GRE. If you get below the required point, you are going no where. Education is standardised anywhere in the world.

If one is not sound academically, he/she should go for vocational schooling.
SAT is the equivalent of JAMB.

Why is there no Post-SAT?

You are wrong! schools set Post UTME cut of mark according to the number of available slot and number of candidates that beat the particular scores,if you beat the scores you will get admitted that is 100%
School want best candidates so they will never deny you if you fly very high
No matter how poor your family is if you score very high,they'd have no choice than to add your name to first batch
You're wrong.

I know of a federal university that admitted close to 100, but not more than 20 made it through merit list.
They had insane cut offs that suited that 20, when they could have just made life easier by using cut offs instead of 'Connection' for the rest of the over 60%.
Nigeria is more evil than you think.

all of a sudden,u just started liking mou because he's your new coach
Lol..

I've always liked Mou!
I even enjoy his antics cause they make football interesting, eg calling Wenger specialist in failure. tongue

I like Pep too, but these guys make it seem he transformed Bayern into something more precious than a Unicorn. undecided even though he actually failed since didn't make a final, especially as any decent coach would win the League with Bayern right now.

I mean even LVG made the UCL final and also won the league with Bayern, so what the hell?

Pep hasn't ever had to work with a squad many United fans call mediocre, yet they want him.

Well let's forget it Sha.

Now that the dust have settled, let's get to more important things like who the club should recruit in the transfer window.



I think we need at least a striker, 2 wingers or attacking midfielders, and a centreback.



Higuain
Payet
Mahrez
And a centreback



In other news, be like citeh go soon announce the signing of Gundogan
Mahrez is my dream right winger for next season.
Pogba In midfield.
Any ball playing Striker, though we know Mourinho will prefer his languid strikers.

I hope he becomes less pragmatic.

SIRcumalot:
this na my problem with this thing.
the man himself has never claim to be one.
in fact he has always taken time to credit his team,
he isn't a miracle worker, he never was,what he is,is a great manager with full understanding of the greatest Team ever and he used it to terrorize Europe for 3years in a manner that we may never see again.

the work Pep is about embark on is what LVG did in first season.

let me ask you this question as a Utd fan or any other utd fan.
if we had somehow gotten Pep has a manager what would your reaction be like ?
I suspect that the fan base will be happier with Pep than Jose.
What he thinks of himself is his business bro.

I'm only concerned about what his fans think about him.
I still read an article not more than a week ago claiming he is the best tactician alive.

I like Pep, but I hate the fact that Jose's achievements are undermined by haters who think he's done nothing asides Spending his way to victory.

This guy won the La Liga against the best team in decades after just a year.
Won the UCL for Porto about two decades of drought.
Won the UCL for Inter after over two decades of drought and near irrelevance in Europe.

Pep is just getting his biggest test, and I'm interested in his progress.
---------------
No!
I wouldn't be happier with a coach that made Bayern lose 5-0 to Madrid a year after they walloped Barca 7-0.

I tire o. Some even said Mourinho has nothing to prove

Pep must win a treble next season or he is a failure but Mourinho only has to make top 4.

I love how it exposed the illogical reasoning of people here

This season, Man utd and city finished on same points, Man utd even beat City on head to head this season, both have money to spend, In the same league, In the same city

I wonder why the expectations are different.

Now some are saying they agree pep is better, or Mourinho is not better than Allardyce just to prove how illogical they have been since
You guys don't get it!

Yes, Mourinho is expected to succeed, but the fact is this is Guardiola's first testing job.

Mou won the champions league with teams that hadn't won it in over two decades.
This is the touch of a Genius!
A team Mancini couldn't do shitť with in europe?

Pep took over two teams already feared in European football, so there is a big difference. ( Barca won the UCL just two seasons before he took over)
Infact Pep turned Bayern into Serial losers in Europe, always getting rubbed on the floor by Spanish opposition time after time after time.

If he made almighty Bayern retrogress, we want to see him perform his miracle at City by winning the league, after all, there was a derogatory Mourinho article on Goal which described Pep as the greatest tactician on the planet.

No be by to dey wear designer suits.
We want to see him conquer EPL and Europe.


Meanwhile there is no excuse not to succeed for Mourinho, but the world is looking at Pep.
Is he truly the 'Master' or the 'Fortunate one' we shall see....... cool

i am not a Fan of Glo, don't even have a Sim, but I don't share your sentiment. Mtn didn't care when Glo reduced data cost, but the result was Mtn dropping on the internet provider chart, Mtn had to reduce data cost after NCC released it last report which shows Glo is controlling data market in Nigeria. glo had to reduce cost again cause lots of people ported to Mtn after the last review. even I may be porting soon too.
Feel free to port if you value quantity over quality.

I almost cried when I visited Osogbo and almost broke my sim when I couldn't get higher than 30kb/s( on a good day ).
Even where I live, Glo network is so poor that it will make you weep grin

We even lost signal for about 5 days last month.

I guess glo is fast where you are, that's why you're contemplating a switch.

TheGoodJoe:

Look at the pictures in the front page. Look at the height difference between Iheanacho an his Super Eagles Coach, Salisu Yusuf and tell me you grew that much after eighteen.
He might have been 15-16 there.

3 years is enough for rapid growth.

At 15, I was very small too, but I'm quite really bigger now at 23.


Also I'm considering the fact that he might have been malnourished (no offense) back then, which might have hampered his growth. And people also have different growing patterns too.

Anyways even if he messed with his age, it should still be close enough.


All these are maybe though...... Even though I believe the guy who said he was a teammate.

In terms of height, not many grow after 18. They can become more muscular or fatter but no change in height.

In my secondary school, only 2 people obviously grew taller after we graduated from a class of almost 100.
I grew taller after 18.......

lets leave out sentiments GLO is good. I take courses online, watch videos, and do skype and some still call glo slow? All the networks are the same. Glo is still the best when it comes to competition and the network though not perfect is matching the demands in terms of subscriber base and internet subscription.... You wait and watch how MTN and the rest will crash their data prices..
Glo is slow in most places.

When we way a network is fast, it means it's fast in your average location.

I've tried Glo in many places.
I tried it in three southwest Capitals, but the speed was nothing to be proud of.

Shame on Glo.

MTN is not even scared of Glo cos they know they have nothing to fear from a network with poor quality almost everywhere.
Glo has been running their 1k for 1.5gb since last year, and no Network gave a damn, not until MTN did theirs that prompted everyone to reduce their prices immediately.

I keep on telling people. Glo speed is not bad, the network is simply not reliable. Their speed is actually very fast ; you can stream a whole 30 mins YouTube video without any thing like buffering. But if it ever disconnects you're on your own cos it might take over 1hr to come back.
Bro, Glo is slow in most places.

I get 30kb/s max speed on Glo.
Even when I visited two state capitals, it was the same bad story.

Music/Radio › What Is The Best Music You've Heard This Year? by Elxandre(op): 10:30am On May 30, 2016
I was listening to radio a few days ago, that was when I heard Lucas Graham's song[b] '7 years'[/b] for the first time.

Though released in 2015, I liked the lyrics, which I can only describe as philosophically reflective.
A strong departure from the likes of Adele's slow brand of music which I find one dimensional with it's majorly only Romantic content.

There are other Great songs indeed, but I like slow songs which aren't overly romantic themed.
