My fear is that the chairmen themselves are another class of corrupt individuals. We are most likely going to start witnessing them building palaces in Abuja in an event this succeeds. Nevertheless, it is our hope they apply the funds specifically to what they are meant for.

Just a little project here and there is what Nigerians are asking for. We are the least demanding citizens in this world if you ask me but our politicians are just too lazy and corrupt to meet even the tiniest of demands.

So unfortunate.

I guess one area to trace the use of such funds is why daily withdrawal limit is set to 500k, and every other expenses through cheques and wire-transfers. Let's see how it plays out.

Okay, If you say so..



Keep that mentality, it will lead you no were. I wonder why you would believe that it is with a fat bank balance. Most Visas don't cost up to A $1000.

Are you seriously talking of cost of visa here? Chai! That should be the least of your worry. Greencard is cheap, approval is what you should be more worried about.

Imagine if I were to travel to America on a student visa. Your sponsor has to be rich and that would reflect on his bank statement and bank account balance. Imagine if I were my own sponsor, same requirement and of course, proves of how you amassed such wealth 'cause they'd carry out a background check on you without your knowledge.

All these would come up only if you provide a probable cause for "suspicion". If you're going on a student visa, pay all fees or pay almost all and have guaranteed accommodation. Show this evidence even before they ask you any question. It is when something is yet to be answered or probable doubt that leads to these extended question.

Meanwhile, why do you want to use a "sponsor"? Don't you think that even the so-called "sponsor" will not want you to know his values worth, as such may give you "watery bank-statements"?

obviously you've not gone out of Naija. Abeg, stop saying it's easy to get a visa.

I know it's very easy with a fat bank account which isn't the only criteria used.

Okay, If you say so..

@Madam GrabHisBalls (some name sha ),

The most important thing is to have the right and legitimate reasons and resources(I make provision for creatively achieving this as well). If not, you have no business wanting to "travel" in the first place.

My wife and kids got their visa to the US years back based on one simple answer - "We are going to Disneyland in Cali".....as simple as that.

GrabHisBalls: :
Try getting one and come tell us how easy your experience was. grin

How else did you think I knew?

Go there with the Right Documentations, Don't pray or rely on your pastor Jesus or God.. Be honest with them . look Them straight in the Eyes and Answer their Questions truthfully, Trust me you will get the Visa.

You beat me to this.

dejibanjo:
Apt analysis bro. The poor masses in Nigeria aren't angry at the political elites because they are corrupt and living lavish lifestyles with the country's resources, they are angry at them because they covet the wealth of the elites.
Until this changes, there really is no hope for the country.

Sense kee you dia

gypsey:
Scary, i must say. The problem with Nigerian Males is they take on Too much Families Responsibilities. A whole clan, village or kindred depend on one Male Finacially, It isn't fair.

I think this is by choice o.....and people should wake up, learn to say no when it is necessary. The days of "ba mi to omo mi" or "lo ba buoda re l'eko" should be over. Each person should shoulder his/her responsibility and not drive people into problems

GrabHisBalls:
With the rate of poverty in Edo state, I now understand why they have to trek through the desert.

Virtually all families have one/two persons abroad.

My cousin was talking to one whose father is ill to the point of death. Dude is in Spain and was called upon to pay the dad's hospital bill. All he could send was 20k. My cousin began mocking him that if abroad isn't working for him, he should come back, but they would rather die than come back.

I was like, do you guys know what he does for a living there? Make una manage the 20k as e no get. LOL.

My dear,

1. There is not "rate of poverty in Edo state", it is more of people that should get their priorities right. What is an uneducated and under-skilled person going to do in Europe, if not drugs and prostitution? I remember circa 2000 when Eki Igbinedion launched a foundation to discourage Edo girls from their famed Italy misadventure and rehabilitate returnees. Word on the street then was that a good number of women were against Eki; case of trying to deny their daughters an opportunity to become "land-ladies" like other families

2. The "what he does for a living" becomes the koko of the matter. Many of our "diaspora brethren", become "heart-less" when they go through the "suffer-head" wey dey dia. When you consider the menial jobs they do through snow, how they have been "voraciously-sexed" and how they've moved from "homeless" to dingy-apartments.......then sending 20k in this context should be celebrated.

There is no better life for them in the desert, or as an illegal immigrant in Europe.

Nigerians must confront their domestic issues. It is odd that millions of people have the same problems caused by the same tiny group of people but do not have the backbone to hold them to account.

You've made a lot of sense.

However, I disagree on the problems being caused by a tiny group.

Take out everybody in power or civil service today and replace them with a completely different set, you'll end up with the same problems.

The average Nigerian needs a reorientation.

Our values are warped and we lack sincerity.

Nobody can change Nigerians except Nigerians.

Until we begin to imbibe logical, scientific and truthful ethos, I'm sorry things would be the same or even worse.

1. One thing comes to mind, imagine we go to church and people will be putting "visa" in "prayer-points" and "testimonies".
2. People making references to families who may be have one person abroad as "prosperous". We once had to look for a looooooong lost cousin in the US. It was when the services of private investigator was got that we found him. Guess where? Prison.......
3. We as Nigerians need to collectively OWN our fate, situation and future. It would seem the default orientation of an average Nigerian is to blame someone else for his own problems. We don't have team spirit. This "culture" seem ingrained in us from childhood. Check this out! back then in school when we played "set" football, we were too individualistic (dribble needlessly instead of making a simple pass, blame each other virtually throughout the set etc). Today, if it is not government, it will be your parents, some would even accuse their parents of witchcraft or the witches and wizard themselves. The Youth will sit lazily, accuse govt of not providing jobs, hence the reason they are in to yahoo-yahoo.......we are not wont to put in required sacrifice.

AfonjaBoston:
These yeebos from potoPoto yeast and their grammar fit kill person

In fact when I read this......

He kept up that it would be of most extreme significance if the national administration of the gathering swam into the emergency shaking the group with the end goal of taking mental soundness back to the group and locate an enduring answer for the initiative tussle shaking the Lagos PDP.

I was like wtf......simple "help resolve the difference....." he went on a "grammatical-round-about"

TheTruthRaw:
You seem to be senseless, in a poverty stricken country such as Nigeria, people properties are been taken away from them. and you say EFCC is working. when they were broke did EFCC investigate the source of their "Brokeness".

I read this and I am like...... God, we need a miracle. Sense is getting scarce...

Bestboy11513:
Please the next time you quote me try saying something remarkable. Boring old fool!!

Unintelligent Cheat....

Bestboy11513:
So where are the results of the people that didn't cheat? Or did everyone cheat?
Your just a senile dog. I'm getting tired of you.

Dodoyo, the answer to this draft question of yours in already in the news report..... but alas it must be rocket science for you to figure that out as well

Bestboy11513:
So because your supporting JAMB in it's crusade means you could not have cheated? Your more stupid than I thought. Have you ever heard of the word Hypocrite? That's exactly what you are!


And are you this naive? JAMB has been releasing results of people who cheated since it's inception.

Here comes a confessed cheat. Sorry there is a new Sheriff in town who is attacking cheating in exams

Bestboy11513:
Elementary reasoning... Are you maaaaad? it's almost a month since the JAMB exams and you want us to still use Basic reasoning?.... Nooooo we will not! we are not children for Christ sakes we will now reason in a more advanced manner and try to understand what is really going on.
Simple logic is that when people write exams results of such exams ought to be provided.

Cheats have no results. With the way you reason, you are a child...

Bestboy11513:
Any rational thinking man can easily see that something somewhere is amiss. The Story JAMB is cooking up simply does not add up.

It's either your a JAMB official or you are just trying to be difficult or your just plain stupid!

While you are struggling to reason, try elementary steps at it.
1. JAMB alleges cases of massive malpractices, collusion of test centers, parents and officials....caught on CCTV.
2. JAMB states that those found suspicious would have their results withheld and will be thoroughly investigated

What else is their to struggle with in a simple logical issue. Of course it will not add up and something will be amiss to you.... Just try reasoning at elementary level, you will get it.

Bestboy11513:
Mr JAMB official

Because you cheated when you wrote yours, you now think everyone did huh?


And how does this answer the question I asked you?
Where are the JAMB results?

I cheated? and I am supporting JAMB in its crusade against cheaters? Has reasoning so left you?

How will any sensible person expect JAMB to release results of those who cheated?

Simpsonrocket:
Did you take time to type this for this guy. I hail thee. Keep up the good work.

I gat to do that when I did. I hate to see young talent go to waste for "school boy errors"

Bestboy11513:
I don't need you to tell me what part I have to play in securing admission into higher institution. I know It all too well and as I have done my part, why haven't JAMB done theirs?


Where are the results of the exams they conducted?

Did you cheat? �

cyberguy72:
U re the dumbness thinking u are smart .So u cant decode that all those Jamb explanations are shit,they are just trying to take students for a ride

Unlike you, I don't "decode" what is elementary. Meanwhile, might I ask; are you yet to write JAMB, if so, do you intend to cheat?

cyberguy72:
JAMB AGENT ALERT!

You must be dumb. No wonder you lot here are unintelligent and incapable of rational thinking

Bestboy11513:
Like I've said earlier, JAMB doesn't care whether or not Nigerians get into Higher institutions, Their sole purpose is make money off of us.

Why should JAMB "care" whether you get into higher institution or not? JAMB's business is to conduct exams that stands the test of time and standards. Yours is to prepare adequately.....

seborrhic:
Thought the registrar gave the impression he was the fabled man of integrity coming to stamp out all ills bedeviling jamb and that his era would see the best and most credible exams ever conducted.
The reverse is now the case.
Never in the history of jamb,even during the paper and pencil days has so much malpractice been perpetuated in an examination.
Even Neco and waec,despite how much easier it is to perpetuate malpractice have never witnessed 10% of what is now going on in jamb.
They are reversing the gains nigeria has made in all spheres of life and in all institutions.

.... and the JAMB Registrar is to blame for this? Gosh!

boyfwend:
I have already forgotten that I wrote jamb this year. They keep frustrating innocent people.
Nonsense with jaMB REGISTRAL

..... This one will now be blaming someone else for failing exams....

peacettw:
I am beginning to believe stronglg that something went wrong with the JAMB servers. It explains why the results are not yet ready and the possible cover up with these unproven allegations of exam malpractice that will lead to HALF of the results cancelled.

My apologies to the affected candidates. It is best that you consider the private universities

1. It saddens one's heart when folks seem to live in denial. Reading the report should have helped, except you naturally condone fraud....

He said the “fearless display of fraudulent tactics by some individuals including parents and centre owners,” would leave many people dumbfounded.

While giving reasons for the delay in the release of this year’s UTME results by JAMB, the source said Nigerians would be shocked if they were privy to the recordings from the Closed Circuit Television cameras installed across the about 700 centres used during the examination.

That this is an evidence in itself is less of the issue; that an average Nigeria is a potential cheat is more disturbing

psucc:
If I may ask, will JAMB conduct another test for the affected candidates? Would the cancellation not affect the innocent ones who did not know or were not interested in doing any 'business"

JAMB is about to cause another round of depression, frustration, suicide and heartbreak for people. They should look explore other means the meting out corporal punishment

1. Can you please read the report again and this time slowly so that you can understand the context and why those results will be canceled.

2. The last time I checked, cancelation of results (of cheaters) does not fall into the category of corporal punishment

Naija sef,,,, why them no comot the nylon wey the chair...

When we were young, when our egbons buy brand new cars, they don't remove the nylon until they take the car to their father or elder in the family with a bottle of schnapps for prayers. After the prayers, the elder or father will now "launch" the car by removing the nylon.....

If Lear was the president's daughter, she would have been treated as a war casualty and left to die and be taped. How did they negotiate for the other students and felt that one daughter of a nobody was an insignificant collateral damage.

We all know how national resources was used to treat one boy who recklessly drove his power Ike to accident.

What we are saying is, let benevolence be without prejudice!

A cultured person doesn't rain verbal abuses over disagreement of points of view
