Education / Breaking News Jamb Withdrawn List by emmaraphael(m): 6:09pm On Jul 31, 2016 |
The News came few minuites Ago
.
BREAKING NEWS: JAMB withdraws 2016
admission lists sent to varsities, others
.
(JAMB) has withdrawn the list of recommended
candidates for admission earlier sent to the
tertiary institutions, the Board said in a
statement on Sunday.
“This is to ensure that the University Senate
perform its statutory responsibility of conducting
the selection of candidates and refer it to JAMB
for confirmation in line with the admission
criteria of merit, catchment and educationally
disadvantaged states as directed by the Hon
Minister of Education at the policy committee
meeting,” Fabian Benjamin, the organisation’s
head of media, said in a statement sent to
PREMIUM TIMES.
“The earlier list was sent to help fast track the
process of admission so as to allow other tiers
of institutions also conduct their admission.
“Candidates should not panic because this is
part of the process of the 2016 admission
exercise. JAMB regrets any inconvenience this
decision would have caused the tertiary
institutions
“The Board regrets any inconvenience it’s
proactive step would have caused the tertiary
institutions. |

Education / UNN FOSSA Election...what Really Happened by emmaraphael(m): 2:44pm On Jul 10, 2016 |
WHEN FOSSA UNN MADE FOOL OF EVERYONE, NO ITSELF It is always the claim of the Faculty of the Social Sciences Association, (University of Nigeria, Nsukka) to be the largest faculty in the Sub-Sahara Africa. But the question is, largest in what, number or character? But must count base on quantity or quality? In the absence of the latter it is a mass of junks which invariably means that the Sub-Sahara Africa is plagued with a swarm of men with questionable characters. The recent but botched FOSSA election speaks volume of the character of persons the faculty is made of. The election was a mere insult not only on the entire student who abandoned their works in a like this (exam period) to exercise their civic rights but got themselves messed up by some deluded elements, but also an insult on the leadership of FOSSA, and the citadel itself. Yes it questions the caliber of persons the institution is pushing into the society yearly as graduates. And when the higher institutions failed to produce resourceful materials for the society it then means the hope and survival of the country is dashed to pieces – when the youths, the assumed leaders of tomorrow were corrupt and “fantastically corrupt” (if I were to borrow a phrase from David Cameroon), and worse than the cabals in power that means the country is gallantly diving into a greater quagmire, a situation that calls for re-visitation of the school curricula vitae for upgrade so as to save the nation from a more serious danger. Yesterday, July 9 marked the Election Day for the Faculty of Social Sciences Association, University of Nigeria, (FOSSA UNN). As scheduled, as early as 8: 00 GMT people trooped out to exercise their civic right. But up to 12 noon nothing was happening, no accreditation, no voting, though the electoral officials were very much around. The students being determined kept on waiting patiently until about 14:30 GMT when they were asked to come forward to vote. Immediately, voting started in earnest even without (proper) accreditation to ascertain the total number of voters and all the rest of them. The worst part of it was that the agents to most of the contestants complained of not being allowed to see the ballot boxes before the voting commenced. In less than 20 minutes into the voting, the students could no longer contend with the electoral process thus they started chanting in disgust, banging on the doors and seeking ways to penetrate into the hall to show their disapproval of the fishy process of the election but they were prevailed upon by the security men (part of the school security agents) at the entrance. However, the security men were only able to stop the aggrieved students from breaking into the polling units but not to control the rowdiness that enveloped the milieu which the latter attracted the presence of the team of school security from their office who when on arrival put the voting to a stop according to the yearning of the majority of the students. Then they parted with the ballot boxes. But when they came outside the hall and tore the ballot boxes the students could not believe what their eyes saw: several hundreds of ballot papers ticked “right” in favour of two persons, Okenwa Kingsley and Ezeh Friday for President and Financial Secretary, respectively. By this means the election was abruptly canceled. Meanwhile, when I pondered over the whole matter, it reminded me of a piece of advice I overheard a former Faculty president in the school (but not from FOSSA) was giving to his younger brother in FOSSA who has a political ambition as a FOSSA president on how to go about the ambition if he must enjoy his administration “do and undo and yet go free”. According to him, “the post that matters to you a lot as a president is the post of the Financial Secretary. Do all your best to make sure your personal person emerge the Financial Secretary because he is the one to keep financial records and endorse the movement of money. With him on your side you can do and undo.” To them, their stock in trade in politics is nothing but to enrich their pockets from the student body, no wonder they run their administrations without budget and leave office without rendering any financial account; and where one is rendered it will be nothing but deficit accounts. And this same reason might have formed the foundation for the attempt to rig yesterday’s FOSSA election in favour of the President and the Financial Secretary. Come to think of it, how was the election rigged? Who and who were responsible? Were the departmental presidents that made up FOSSA and who were also present as electoral officers not aware of it? In the same vein, was the Faculty Officer Representative who also doubled as the presiding and returning officer not privy to the plot? Even the resident security agents have a lot of questions to answer concerning the rigging. If these people mentioned here were ignorance of the rigging, then who was responsible? What brought about the delay of and the shady accreditation and the voting proper till about 15:00 GMT (maybe so that the students after being in patience can angrily go home without voting to give them full chance to execute their whims and caprices)? One more question is that if none of the people mentioned was a party to the rigging, why was it that when the students became skeptical about the electoral process and insist to see the ballot boxes before the voting and the number of eligible voters all the officers turned a deaf ear? Nevertheless, while we wait for the answers to the above questions, it is a high time that transparency is incorporated in FOSSA election and students fully allowed to run their affairs without any interference from the ‘high places’. And pending when the re-run election will be announced, I am of the opinion that the two candidates, Okenwa Kingsley and Ezeh Friday should stand disqualified in the re-run election. Once again, our tertiary institutions still have a long way to go in producing credible human resources for our society. In this, I suggest that a compulsory course on “Character and Learning” is needful to be introduced in the school scheme of work for every department in order to see a way to fine tune the crude character of most students, all for the well being of our society. |

Religion / What Really Happened Between Bishop Obinna And Pro Biafra People by emmaraphael(m): 6:41am On Jun 22, 2016 |
In Onitsha for a funeral not protest march For the sake of those who may have been misled by internet or media reports about Archbishop Obinna's presence in Onitsha on the 30th May 2016, it has become necessary to give the true story." On Monday the 30th May, Most Rev. Anthony J.V. Obinna, Archbishop of Owerri, left for Onitsha for the funeral of Rev. Sr. Innocentia Ehirim at the Immaculate Heart Convent, Nkpor. He was accompanied by a good number of priests, religious and laity since the late Sister Innocentia had worked for ten years in the Archdiocese of Owerri, before her later postings. From Ihiala, signs of unrest began to be seen with unusual road blocks. In any case Archbishop Obinna and his entourage arrived at their destination without much inconvenience. After the Holy Mass and the burial of the Rev. Sister, in the process of returning to Owerri through the Nkpor-Onitsha route by which he and his entourage came, he found that burning tyres had been set up by youths blocking and preventing the normal flow of traffic. The Archbishop was constrained to stop in order to plead for passage for himself and those who accompanied him. On getting past this first blockage he ran into a bigger road-block with more massive burning tyres and a greater crowd of youth. On sighting the police ahead of him, Archbishop Obinna made his way beyond the milling and shouting youth in order to seek a possible safe- passage. In spite of the armored vehicle standing there and the police in battle-gear, Archbishop Obinna made his way to the Commanding Officer. After speaking with the officer and being advised to turn back and find another route because of the apparent tension, Archbishop Obinna walked backward only to be besieged by the pro-Biafra shouting youth. From mildly charging that the Catholic Church and CAN should speak out on behalf of the Biafra cause some of the youth descended to abusive and threatening talk in expressing their joblessness, poverty and frustration. Trying to respond calmly to the now angry youth turned out to be needless. As he further trekked to get back to his car, those among the youth with camera-telephones photographed him in the midst of all those youth. The Archbishop eventually got into his car and had to find a back-way route to Abatete and on to Nnewi from where he then returned to Owerri. This is the true story behind the lying and deceptive photographs and stories on the internet and some newspapers falsely claiming that Archbishop Obinna either came from Owerri or Rome to join the protest march of the pro- Biafra youth. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=703392693131951&id=261670477304177&refid=8&_ft_=qid.6298885036364552569%3Amf_story_key.5790494546409067750&__tn__=%2As |
