Of course peoples mindset could be all muddled up in thinking there is something wrong with girls who attend this kinda churches, but come to think of it, wouldnt the weirdness (or let's say the fact that the mode of worship does not conform to what we used to) and every other feature attached to white garment churches affect her as a person?

I have always wanted to write about this wicked practice that has been going on for about a week now. over here in kano where i stay, i suddenly found out that thousands of people are rushing to open bank accounts especially first bank, i mean this are people who are supposedly not literates, have no businesses or source of income yet are rushing to get email addresses and passports for opening of a bank account. Not long after then, a friend walked up to me and asked if i had a BVN number, to which i said yeah!, he then asked if i was interested in opening a bank account with first bank and i would be paid five thousand naira monthly but i would hand over my atm to them and they would be sole signatories to the account. I was surprised and inquired what the account would be used for but he refused to tell, i was opportune to speak with another friend in the day who told me that, these accounts were opened for the sole purpose of making withdrawals abroad, and that when accounts has been opened the atm are handed over to someone who deposits money in those accounts, get them converted to dollars at the bank rate, then makes withdrawals outside the country and when they are back they change hard currencies to naira at black markets, making a profit of One hundred and twenty naira over Every one dollar invested. This is a 61% profit, all coming from the governments purse. I mean the trend just got worse with these scammers getting to open accounts for kids, just so as to use their BVN for scrupulous activities. And i am very sure banks are aware but they dont care as they are making huge amounts of profit from these activities. I mean what is this country turning to, everyone is complaining about how bad the economy is and yet some people feel its an avenue to enrich their pockets. For crying out loud the government is the one funding these profits, cant they see what its going to do to the economy. If this trend continues i believe there is no way the naira is going to bounce back against the dollar, so something must be done.

Dr Fabian Benjamin, the JAMB’s Public Relations Officer has disclosed that the board ahead of the 2016 UTME had invested in the training and acquisitions of softwares that will reduce the possibility of candidates guessing answers correctly.

He said "Technically, what we were using before to test students was what we called Classical Test Theory, but now we have adopted what we call Item Response Theory.
The difference is that the Item Response Theory reduces the percentage of guessing.The tendency for students to guess and guess right is minimal with this software."

With this development, Candidates who are experts in guessing answers to questions during examinations, may find it hard to cope unless they studied hard

In Response to this i attempted to find the meaning of IRT (item response theory) and how it might eliminate guess work as claimed.
" It's a style of test administration that became possible as a result of computerized testing. Theoretically it was possible before but the amount of labor it would have required from the test administrator made it impractical. The computer keeps track of your test performance in real time and adjusts the difficulty of your questions accordingly. The benefit of this approach is that it reduces the number of questions you need to answer before your test results can give you a meaningful rank by skipping questions so easy you would have gotten them all right and so hard you would have gotten them all wrong" Will Northup, M.S. in Psychology

"Item response theory is a method of developing and scoring tests that attempts to have questions of different difficulty in such a way that the total test maximally differentiates people in terms of ability on the underlying trait. "

I think this means instead of actually marking your answers, the computer sends you a group of questions which might be easy or hard to answer, then attempts to measure how knowledgeable you are on the subject by gauging your correct responses to how hard the question might be. Would like to encourage nairalanders to research more on the subject and make appropriate comments as the thought of not being able to guess answers right is kinda driving some students crazy. lolx
N.B. I am not a jambite, just a nice guy.

Dr. Bennet Ifeakandu Omalu is a big deal in America. He is so big a deal that he is the subject of a critically acclaimed Hollywood movie called ‘Concussion,’ which was released on December 25 this year. But chances are most Nigerians reading this article would say ‘Bennet who? Who is that?’
That was precisely the response I got when I spoke with a group of Nigerian journalists in Abuja and Kano during a British Council-sponsored workshop I facilitated about a month ago. Not a single journalist had any clue who Omalu was.
In the course of the training, our conversation veered off into the topic of the wacky, delusional intellectual scammer called Dr. Enoch Opeyemi who falsely claimed to have solved the Riemann Hypothesis and misled the incredibly credulous Nigerian - and British - media into undeservedly celebrating him before the facts of his misrepresentation became apparent.
I wondered why Nigerian journalists - and everyday Nigerians - ignorantly celebrate all the notorious, scorn-worthy intellectual scammers - Enoch Opeyemi, Philip Emeagwali, Gabriel Oyibo, Michael Atovigba, etc. - but ignore genuine heroes of Nigerian descent who are doing truly outstanding things outside Nigeria.
One of the journalists asked me to name one genuine Nigerian hero abroad who has been ignored at home. I asked if they knew about Dr. Bennet Omalu. I got blank stares. Strangely, I wasn’t surprised. To be noticed in Nigeria, especially in Nigeria’s traditional media, you need to understand the art of bluster, of vain and empty conceit. Omalu apparently didn’t reach out to the Nigerian media, and Nigerian journalists obviously don’t give the time of day to anyone who doesn’t court and cultivate their friendship and attention.
But who is Omalu and why should we care? So much has been written and said about this man in America that I don’t even know where to start. Well, I think I should start with his claim to fame. Omalu became famous for being “the first to publish findings of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in American football players.”
This sounds ordinary on the surface. But it’s actually a lot bigger than what it seems. The National Football League (NFL) is America’s richest and most popular sport. No one takes on this American financial and cultural behemoth and comes out alive. But Omalu did - with his brains - and is alive to tell the story. Through careful, studious, self-financed research, Omalu demonstrated that American football players were susceptible to the kinds of brain injuries that boxers and war veterans suffer.
The NFL was outraged by this. Omalu’s findings threatened NFL’s multi-billion dollar industry. If it is established that playing American football rendered people susceptible to permanent, irreversible brain injuries, the future of the sport - and the billions of dollars it rakes in - was in grave danger. As you would expect, the NFL fought back - and they fought dirty. Omalu’s credibility and competence were called into question. He was accused of “practicing voodoo,” a subtle racist dig at his Nigerian origins and the supposed intellectual inferiority that this fact implies.
Big-name American medical researchers at the NFL demanded that Omalu’s paper, which was published in the prestigious Neurosurgery journal, be retracted. They said the paper’s findings were flawed. But here is where it gets interesting. Neurosurgery is a double-blind peer reviewed journal, which means articles sent to the journal are normally reviewed by two anonymous expert reviewers who usually don’t know each other and who don’t know the identity of the researcher who submits a paper for consideration.
If the two reviewers agree that a paper is worthy of publication, usually with minor or major revisions, the paper gets published. If one of the two anonymous reviewers rejects the paper, the journal’s editor will send it to a third anonymous expert reviewer whose decision is crucial to accepting or rejecting the paper.
Although Omalu’s paper was accepted by the first two anonymous reviewers who first examined it, because of the sensitivity and momentousness of its findings, it was sent to more than 18 other expert reviewers! That is highly unusual. But there was unanimity of opinion that Omalu had pushed the boundaries of knowledge in ways no one had, and the paper was published in 2005. So if Omalu’s findings were wrong, more than 18 top-notch American medical researchers who reviewed his paper must be wrong as well.
Omalu published subsequent papers on the same subject-matter to build a convincing case that playing American football (which isn’t the same thing as ‘football’ in British English) exposes people to the danger of brain damage.
When NFL doctors lost the intellectual battle against him, they shifted the battle to the emotional plain. He was accused of “attacking the American way of life.” ‘How dare you, a foreigner like you, from Nigeria? What is Nigeria known for? The eighth most corrupt country in the world? Who are you? Who do you think you are to come to tell us how to live our lives?’ Omalu quoted NFL officials as saying to him in an interview with the (American) National Public Radio.
After sustained attacks on his credibility, competence, and nationality, the NFL gave up. In 2009, the NFL publicly admitted that Omalu was right. As a consequence, he has become a celebrity here. A book about his accomplishments and struggles, titled ‘Concussion,’ was written by an American writer and professor by the name of Jeanne Marie Laskas. The movie about him that was released yesterday is based on the book.
Omalu’s success is every bit Nigeria’s. A native of Nnokwa in Idemili South local government area of Anambra State, the 47-year-old Omalu earned his first medical degree from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, in 1990. He first came to the United States in 1994, and it is safe to say that Nigeria provided the backdrop for his genius.
I hope the Nigerian government will recognise and celebrate genuine heroes like Omalu whose genius is rubbing off on Nigeria internationally.
