Cit101 has no Tma yet why, anyone having the same problem.

Check your GST portal and look for GST103. Both courses are supposed to be the same.

You seized this rice telling us they were not good, but you distributed the same rice to be consumed by the people..





This govt is wicked ehhhh

Who told u it was seized because it wasn't good? Importation of rice has since been prohibited. Any rice, good or bad will be impounded.

Hi
I need someone to help or give me idea on how to
set up an online radio station

Begin by doing a Google Search. Then break it down into steps.

Yes. Last week, my friend tested positive in the UK. Throughout the time he was isolated, we kept chatting and he shared how he was feeling with me. He has recovered though and set to resume work on coming Monday. The virus is real but if your immune system is strong and you have no serious underlying illnesses, you may even suffer it and not know it is coronavirus.

my dear those defending Ippis are not civil servants BC if they are they will know that lppis is a frued. I enrolled in Dec 2019 but have seen my salary deduced 5k and 7k and no explanation too but d keep saying sorry and d following month d will still do same

IPPIS is another fraud which they set up to checkmate fraud. I am in fact planning to collect comments of people about this IPPIS (those enrolled) so those yet to enrolled rise up to never join the fraud. Still looking for the best means.

okomile:
Good news oooooo

They should enrol and get their salaries on time

Did you read that even those enrolled wants to pull out? Since I enrolled in December 2019, I have had my salary cut by about 23k monthly with no explanation. Don't comment what you don't know oga.

Greetings Nlanders. There's this lady I'm in relationship with. I tried my best to be fair nd caring to her, her close friends always get jealous how i treat her so nice, we've been dating for about 6 months now, Ive my flaws nd she has too, I was just pushing to see how things will play out, If she will worth my ring . But anytime we have a small misunderstanding,she flares up and became angry, And threatens to end the relationship. And she denies being hot tampered. Just this morning i engaged her on a healthy argument through chat. Was expecting her to use her senses well,she resorted to emotional and anger and threatened me again with this exact words again.

"If you bring up the issue about status again, Or trust or any other rubbish, I will break up with you .That's the final warning "

I felt really bad and worthless, Am having missed feelings on how to end the whole thing. I just cant believe a gal i was planning future with will utter this words.

Please guys i need a strong word, somebody should advice me. I dont want to look back on my decision this morning. I want to hear something, i cant follow my hrt again, i want to see outside that fake love.

Nb.she doesn't have another bf for now.

You are probably dating an immature lady. You can't change that overnight. You either choose to continue bearing those kind of childish things till she grows up or you quit.

Good day fellow NL, how is the lock down is your part of Nigeria. Hope you're all getting along.
A brother needs help /advice. I decided to bring this issue here because I there there are well meaning Nigerians out the who who has useful knowledge to contribute to or impact to my plight.

I am a man in my twenties, born and brough up in a Christian family. My parents are godly and as such impacted the right morals in me. after my secondary school, I decided to move to the city to learn a trade, a hand work. I've learned the work and currently currently excelling in the work. Ever since I started living an independent life, I've never been spiritually stable. My spirituality is wavering.
To cut the story short I hardly engage myself in Christian activities, the worse of it is that I don't even pray to God again. I think I'm going astray spiritually, I'm lacking behind. I don't want to blame anyone for backslide. What's your advice

The struggles of life is often responsible for such. It is good however that you noticed this decline and ready to push forward.

I suggest you join a unit in your Church once this lock down is over

Secondly, try and put a goal of how many chapters of the Bible you want to study daily and try and meet the goals.

Lastly, keep friends that can help you. Those that are more spiritually sound than you. Iron sharpens iron.

Stay strong.

With the symptoms, I think it is anxiety. However, you can be drinking plenty of warm water (recommended for early signs of Covid-19). Stay safe.

In other credible institutions like Uniben for example, whether you present ND, HND or you are applying for a PG program, you must get the DE/PG form and sit for a test. That test is an important part of all admissions which all good institutions handles thoroughly.

For the aspect of online facilitation, the school should do more by making it an essential process for all students. More qualified tutors should be employed to handle the different courses, and there should be a way to detect defaulters who wouldn't participate in it, plus setting a penalty for not taking part. These are some of the things the conventional institutions are doing which gives them all the hype.

If this is implemented, people can no longer bash the school for not holding physical classes to teach the students. Naturally, Nigeria isn't used to this kinda system of studying, and this is another reason the public still look down on the school. Nigerians always want things to come hard, and yes, the harder it is the more valuable it would be for them. This is the mentality of most Nigerians.

I just need something to shun all blabbers up, and let them know that NOUN also produces good graduates like other conventional institutions.

Great piece mahn. I have noted all you said and I know whenever, wherever I have the chance to make my input.
The facilitation is quite new and till now, not all students are even aware of facilitation. This semester, the students are doing TMAs without orientation, without guide. So many of them asking questions that are so... While they keep adding and strengthening weak sides, they shouldn't allow the strong policies to weaken. Gradually, the facilitation will get better. Remember also that many of the students cannot even afford data to be able to participate fully in the classes. Not even all the Study Centres have the required facilities. There have been improvements really but they is a lot still left. Thanks mahn for the insight.

ade2291:
What measures do you think the school can put in place to ensure this issue is curbed?

Most NOUN students are far better than some students of conventional institutions. But because of the way the school was instituted, our lips are sealed, we cannot boast with our school when in public. It's absolutely bad for us.

You are right from your perspective though, but there are even more challenges which I think the school should look into. Talking about TMA, except you are suggesting that it should be scrapped completely and make the exam over 100, there is no other options that wouldn't bring severe disadvantages when implemented. The main aim of that assignment is to ensure that students put more seriousness having knowing that the TMA score will go long way on total grading. So from the school perspective, students are expected to put more seriousness in studying. To me it's difficult getting a perfect solution to curb the issue while maintaining the relevance of the TMA.

Your three bullet points are essential points the school must deliberate on, and ensure that they provide better solution to restore the school's dignity. But if they must start, when deliberating in the aspect of discrimination, what must first be considered is the mode of admission by NOUN. Just admitting students without setting a proper test is the first thing affecting the school's reputation. If at all they don't want a test, they should use jamb(with a fixed cut-off mark e.g 160 above) as part of the prerequisite for admitting students. Restoring the school's dignity and allowing the employers and the general public value the school's products must first start from my above illustration. Even if TMA is scrapped, people will still discriminate the school and look down on its products. The mode of admission is worst than that 30/30 you are even talking about.

Another one is the aspect of online facilitation. There are much more issues with the school jare...

Nice input. You made clear points there and I agree with you completely on the issues raised and your views. Remember though that HND holders gets 200L in NOUN as against 300L I'm most institutions. And PG admission is like other institutions as well. So, the admission you are referring to is 100L specifically.
The aspect of online facilitation, can you please throw more light please.

Let's argue this as intellects and not as market women jor. Present your points without insults. And.. Enough of those pictures. We don't need them.
Mrvitalis has spoken well. He presented his case well.
DanArrewa... Present your points and don't mind those pictures.
PrivateNsofor Bring your points, let's shake the table. Shake the table with points and not yabs. LOL.
Simplyleo bring points pls. Na points we need.

As for me, I will be among the panel of judges.
Happy coronation my guys.

DanArrewa:
just Thank God for the north... If not for the north na una flesh una for dey chop for this country!!

You have to even thank the north more than you're thanking Jesus... Cos northerners are the reason you're alive today...

Bring out your point let's see. You were called out because they believe you will have points to counter their statement but you come dey quarel instead of presenting points.

SimpIyleo:
Where is DanArrewa goon.

Come tell us how malnurished people feed healthy people

You bad gan.

OP
You know what is right but you lack the will to do the right thing. Your life is like a Sign Board showing people direction but yourself have never been to the place.
You need to stay around with like-minds, those that will always be putting you right anytime you are tempted to do the wrong thing. The figure you are in the lives of others, look for someone who will be such figure to you and attach yourself to them.
Finally, see what the Bible says in Jeremiah 10:23
"O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps." Keep praying to God and be more committed. I wish you the best.

Let's wait for the North advocates

We have so many persons who come here dropping their contacts for TMAs and none of you writing all these have ever raised any issue against them. The students are simply OK with the way things are.
MrJaay call them out and tell them to stop making a joke of NOUN and you too should quit patronising them. When they don't get business from you, and other students, the biz will die.
Pyrated Your idea is fine but remember TMA is not an online test. It is an online assignment. Unless the name is altered to begin with, you cannot put timing on the TMA. Note also that with the current level of digitization, our country network infrastructure is still quite poor. If they put a time and your network is poor, what happens to the person?
Ribasandez Let's tackle the issue from all sides. The management has a role to play to ensure integrity of the TMA, avoid leakages. But the students have more role to play because NOUN cannot disallow a student who wants to give out his assignments to be done by another. When it comes to an exam, you know how it is. You can't sit for another person. And that's the definition of exam.
As for those advertising TMA solutions for students here and in other platforms Samisha50, anthonyo, rrreer etc... You are also not helping the students. Sanitizing the system is a collective responsibility especially when it comes to ethics and not rules and regulations.
Peace to everyone who made salient contribution to the issue of TMA raised here.

MrJaay:
But the university system gave the enabling environment for the abuse of TMAs, so faulting the system as the main article has done is justifiable.

I don't understand HOW though. The truth is that an average Nigerian doesn't believe in integrity. And we are all part of the system. There won't be a market if there are not sellers and buyers. Why not on your part refuse to patronise those advertising for them to do your TMA? The change begins with you and me. Peace.

MrJaay:
Only that in this case, the assistance is not in form of tutoring, teamwork, mentorship, or anything that requires the said student to participate or learn.

Also, we're not talking about just one or two courses, but the entire courses that the said student is taking for that semester.

If anything, this practice makes for why they end up doing guess work and failing in the final exams, because they need not read the course material or anything even, to get their 30/30.

I do get your point though, not every student fall under this category.

That will be the fault on the side of the student, don't u think so cos the main article points to the University and the system forgetting the lazy student who gave out all his assignments to be done for him/her by another person.

MrJaay:
doesn't justify the free 30 marks they got unethically

U gave an assignment to your student in the University, and he take the assignment to his friend for instance who assists him and and he passes. Tell me, is it unethical? This is not a test but an assignment. I hope you see some light from my points sha.

MrJaay:
You share your login details with someone, sit back and await your 30/30 guaranteed marks. Isn't that free?

Remember what I said earlier... TMA remains an assignment and if u choose to do yours like that, remember it's not all of the students that does that.

MrJaay:
That the exams are difficult doesn't justify the free 30 marks though. Nothing does.

How do you rationalize this to outsiders (employers, colleagues from other universities), who do not know about NOUN exams?

Free 30 marks? Can u define that? How free is the 30 marks? The so-called free 30/30 is by implication that students should be passing very well. But is that the case? What is the significance when UG students still struggle to get 40/100 and PG students the required 50/100 even with the so-called free 30 marks?

Ribasandez:
God knows TMA assistance is making NOUN lose credibility and respect in the eye of the public. Hardly anyone takes NOUN graduates seriously these days. Scoring 30 marks freely is becoming the major talk of the town, and this is doing plenty of damage to both the institution and the body of students/alumni.

Many of us do not know the impact of this. Soon, many employers will stylishly discriminate against NOUN graduates, with the belief that they earned free marks without putting in the required effort. At the end of the day, the students who are seeking free 30 marks will be the one to suffer for it.

I just wish there is a way to put an end to all this. I am not taking a shot at any businesses doing this. But I'm just stating my observation and the adverse effect of these things in both the short term and long term.

Seems no one talks about these things these days. But no matter how much we choose to keep quiet about it, it will come back to bite us all.

You made great points however, if you have ever seen the general performance of students, you will wonder what happened to the TMA scores. TMA as the name implies is an Assignment and in any assignment, it doesn't really matter how the student get to find the solutions - textbooks, peer groups, lecturers, etc.
I have seen how students perform during exams. You see many students not able to score 10/70 in an e-exam. The system is still very difficult for majority of the students thereby making the 30/30 almost insignificant. Distance learning is different in many aspects to the classroom system hence you cannot fully operate like the other conventional Universities.
I have students whose results are so terrible in spite of the so called 30/30 TMA. I advised one 200L Public Administration student to start all over because out of 17 courses she has sat for, she has passed only 4. The remaining are F. I later found out the student went ahead to continue this semester though. Many PG students cannot graduate even after passing all courses because their CGPA is less than the required 3.0.
My conclusion is that, the system is still quite difficult in spite the ease with which students can score a high score in their TMAs which makes it insignificant to be considered.
