What next after Jamb and when will Jamb start giving admission? This is another question asked by two set of persons; those who failed Jamb 2017 and those who passed.

For those who failed Jamb, it is very simple. Get a job or learn skills even as you prepare for next year Jamb (Jamb 2018). Also, understand that failing Jamb is not the end of life and it doesn’t mean that you are a failure. Time and chance happens to everything. You can still make it if you mean it.

For those who passed Jamb, it is not the end of the journey. You must put structures in place so that you don’t fail to gain admission. After all, passing Jamb is not a guarantee that your admission is sure.

Back to the question, what next after Jamb? That’s exactly what I am about to tell you. Take a glass of water and let’s begin.

Eight ( 8 ) Things To Do After Jamb 2017


1. Check Your Score And Your Choice Institution:

Check your Jamb score and see whether it can take you to your choice of institution or not. If yes, good… But if no, go to number 3.

2. Check Your Course And Cut Off:

Cut off mark is an agreed score set by a particular institution as a basics of admitting students into the department of study.

After confirming that you have crossed your school’s general cut off mark, the next step is to see whether you can be admitted with your score.

3. Consider Whether To Change School Or Course:

The Jamb change of course and institution is the next gist every interested Jamb 2017 candidate would want to be updated about, especially now that Jamb results are released.

If your score is not enough for your first choice school, then consider getting a change of institution form.

4. Be Patient

After Jamb, there usually this zeal to go to school. And you are like, “my school should release admission list na”. Calm down so that your blood pressure doesn’t rise above normal.

5. Enjoy Yourself

I know that so many aspirants will be on fast until their names are in the 2017 admission list. This is not necessary.

You are not the one to admit yourself. Therefore, leave trash for lawma.

If you have done the necessary things, then forget that you wrote Jamb and continue with your life.

6. Learn A Skill

Jamb will release first batch admission status around September. You don’t have to waste time. Develop yourself.

7. Be Updated About Your School’s Screening Date:

Sign up to my newsletter below this article so that you don’t miss any information concerning your school’s online and physical clearance, plus other admission updates.

8. Learn About Your School’s Calendar, Admission Process And School Fees:

You need to know what’s up in your school of choice. Remember, it is what you have in your head that takes you ahead.

KEN SARO WIWA - My lord, since my arrest on the 21st of May, 1994 I have been subjected to physical and mental torture, held incommunicado and denied food for weeks and medical attention for months. My seventy-four year old mother has been whipped and arrested,

my wife beaten and threatened with detention, the three telephone lines to my office and residence cut and the they remain cut to this day, my office and home have been ransacked on three different occasions and personal and family property, official files and documents taken away without documentation. I have been calumniated in the press and on satellite television before the whole world by a Rivers State government anxious to prejudice the mind of the public and to convince that public of my guilt even before trial. Only recently, before the United Nations Committee for the Eradication of Racism and Discrimination in Geneva, an official delegation of the Federal Government which included the Special Adviser on Legal Affairs to the Head of State, Professor Yazudu, declared me responsible for the murders which are the subject of this Tribunal, even before Tribunal has found against me or anyone else.

The fact that a case of homicide is being charged before a Tribunal set up under Decree No. 2 of 1987 speaks for itself. I am aware of the many strictures laid against the decree and this Tribunal by local and international observers. All the same, I
have followed the proceedings here with keen and detailed interest, not only because I am charged before this Tribunal, but also because, as a writer, I am a custodian of the conscience of society. I regret that the legal counsel I freely chose, Gani Fawhimi, the human rights hero and pride of this country, was forced to withdraw. His withdrawal has denied credibility to this
trial.

With the permission of the Tribunal, I would now like to make a filmic representation which will graphically demonstrate all that I have said here and amplify the details thereof.

My lord, we all stand before history. I am a man of peace, of ideas. Appalled by the denigrating poverty of my people who live on a richly-endowed land, distressed by their political marginalization and economic strangulation, angered by the
devastation of their land, their ultimate heritage, anxious to preserve their right to life and to a decent living, and determined to usher to this country as a whole a fair and just democratic system which protects everyone and every ethnic group and gives us all a valid claim to human civilization, I have
devoted all my intellectual and material resources, my very life, to a cause in which I have total belief and from which I cannot be blackmailed or intimidated. I have no doubt at all about the ultimate success of my cause, no matter the trials and tribulations which I and those who believe with me may encounter
on our journey. Nor imprisonment nor death can stop our ultimate victory.

I repeat that we all stand before history. I and my colleagues are not the only ones on trial. Shell is here on trial and it is as well that it is represented by counsel said to be holding a watching brief.

The company has, indeed, ducked this particular trial, but its day will surely come and the lessons learnt here may prove useful to it for there is no doubt in my mind that the ecological war the company has waged in the delta will be called to question sooner than later and the crimes of that war duly punished. The crime of the company's dirty wars against the Ogoni people will also be punished.

On trial also is the Nigerian nation, its present rulers and all those who assist them. Any nation which can do to the weak and disadvantaged what the Nigerian nation has done to the Ogoni, loses a claim to independence and to freedom from outside influence.

I am not one of those who shy away from protesting injustice and oppression, arguing that they are expected from a military regime. The military do not act alone. They are supported by a gaggle of politicians, lawyers, judges, academics and businessmen, all of them hiding under the claim that they are only doing their duty, men and women too afraid to wash their pants of their urine.

We all stand on trial, my lord, for by our actions we have denigrated our country and jeopardized the future of our children. As we subscribe to the sub-normal and accept double standards, as we lie and cheat openly, as we protect injustice and oppression, we empty our classrooms, degrade our hospitals, fill our stomachs with hunger and elect to make ourselves the slaves of those who subscribe to higher standards, pursue the truth, and honour justice, freedom and hard work.

I predict that the scene here will be played and replayed by generations yet unborn. Some have already cast themselves in the role of villains, some are tragic victims, some still have a chance to redeem themselves. The choice is for each individual.

I predict that a denouement of the riddle of the Niger delta will soon come. The agenda is being set at this trial. Whether the peaceful ways I have favoured will prevail depends on what the oppressor decides, what signals it sends out to the waiting public.

In my innocence of the false charges I face here, in my utter conviction, I call upon the Ogoni people, the peoples of the Niger delta, and the oppressed ethnic minorities of Nigeria to stand up now and fight fearlessly and peacefully for their rights. History is on their side, God is on their side. For the Holy Quran says in Sura 42, verse 41: "All those who fight, when oppressed incur no guilt, but Allah shall punish the oppressor." Come the day.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has dissociated itself from a social media account on Facebook calling on candidates to come for their UTME score upgrade.

The board warn the public and desperate candidates against falling victim of this scam and being defrauded of their hard earned money.

According to a statement by the Board’s Head of Media, “We wish to state unequivocally that the statement was not from JAMB, its Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, or any of its offices nor has he authorized any persons or group to post such an inglorious request and statement.

“JAMB therefore want to state that the results gotten by candidates from the 2017 UTME were the true reflection of their performance after going through a full proof scoring mechanisms. As such, it did not intend to review the scores or commissioned anybody to do that. JAMB has also not been directed by any organ of government to so.

“JAMB wants to use this opportunity to state that its examination is not a fail or pass examination as there are other variables that are considered outside the examination to arrive at a successful admission. There is no need for this desperation as getting “high” scores as being touted by fraudulent characters is not a guarantee for admission.

He finally stated that effort are being made to arrest the perpetrators of this scam, and called on the public to visit the closes JAMB office if they have enquiries.

This is a Story of four people who became very Close Friends by Circumstances. I used to call them the "MOVING TRAIN" till It became Imperative that They had to separate because in Politics, There are no Permanent friend or Permanent Enemies.. ONLY PERMANENT INTEREST

I wouldn't want to bore you with stories How they met and How they helped each other to great heights but let's put the story aside and face reality

They are

1. Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi
2. Nyesom Ezenwo Wike
3. Magnus Abe
4. Dakuku Adol Peterside

Let's keep politics aside and Face Reality.. These four people Alongside a few others came with the political Ideology and slogan then "I BELIEVE" in 2007.

By The Hand of God and Their collective effort(Whether One of them contributed 0.1%, they all contributed one way or the other), On 27th October 2007, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi emerged The Governor of Rivers State and These were the only friends He could count on.

THEIR BOND OF TRUST AND LOVE WAS EARNED. Let me give you a run down of what they had achieved in Politics before they merged to form what I called "THE MOVING TRAIN" in 2007..

1. Amaechi became the Youngest speaker of The Rivers State House of Assembly at 33 in 1999 to 2007

2. Nyesom Wike Became The Chairman of Obio Akpor Local Government Council at 32 in Year 2000 to 2007( 2nd richest LGA in Nigeria with allocation nd IGR bigger than some states)

3. Magnus Abe became a Member of The Rivers State House of Assembly Representing The People of Gokana Constituency at 34.

He Emerged Minority leader given to the fact that He belonged to the Opposition party then- ANPP. In 2003, He defected to the PDP and He was appointed commissioner of Information by the Dr.Peter Odili led adminstration.

4. Dakuku Peterside became The Chairman of Opobo/Nkoro Local Government at 31 in 2002 and Then Later S.A to the Rivers State Governor on Works at 32 in 2003-2005. In 2005-2007, He became The Executive Director of Development and Leadership Institute.

In 2007, Amaechi became The Executive Governor of Rivers State and This His "Cartel Men" took the stage in the Grand stance

- Nyesom Wike Became His Chief of Staff
- Magnus Abe Became The Secretary to State Government
- Dakuku Peterside Became The commissioner of works

There Has Never been a Squad like this since the creation of Rivers State till Date. They were so Powerful that Everyone even had advised Governor Amaechi to push them to Abuja because Rivers State could no longer Contain them. The Power was too much yet They Blossomed.

In 2011, There was no opposition in Rivers State except Some Adults playing in the sand

-Amaechi Returned as Governor for a Second Term
-Nyesom Wike became Minister for state for Education
- Magnus Abe Became A Senator
- Dakuku became the Member House of Representatives

In 2015, The Center could No Longer Hold but Today

- Amaechi is The Minister of Transportation
- Nyesom Wike is The Executive Governor of Rivers State
- Magnus Abe is Back to the Senate
- Dakuku is the DG of the Big Cash Cow "NIMASA" after running as The Gubernatorial Candidate of the APC in 2015

WITHIN THE LAST 10 YEARS, THESE FOUR FRIENDS HAVE BEEN IN CHARGE OF RIVERS STATE. They might still be in Charge for at Least The Next 6 Years

AMAECHI is the Leader of APC in Rivers State

Wike is the Leader of PDP in Rivers State

From a Little Beginning, They bonded and later became The Strong Men of NOT JUST RIVERS POLITICS BUT Nigeria Politics

The Alliance for Democracy (AD) has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not to register the newly launched Advanced Peoples Democratic Alliance (APDA) over claims that the Party unduly appropriated its logo.

This was made known in a statement signed by the National Auditor of the Party, Ismail Ayodele.

According to the statement, AD said it has already called the attention of INEC to the association and the need not to register it as a political party.

The statement reads in part: “We write to protest and strongly oppose the use of the logo launched today (Monday) in Abuja by a new association known as Advanced Peoples Democratic Alliance (APDA) looking for INEC registration to become political party.

“Alliance for Democracy (AD) is not against the coming of APDA but we are strongly against the snatching of 95 per cent of our existing logo which has been in use from 1998 to date.”

“We have already called the attention of INEC and the need not to register APDA as a political party.”

It could be recalled that APDA was on Monday floated by the founder of Daar Communications Plc, Raymond Dokpesi, alongside other notable politicians in Abuja.

Responding, Mr. Shettima assured that the state government would provide necessary support towards take off of the institution.

The governor expressed confidence that when fully operational, the university would be a reference point for other universities in Africa.
