Long live Pastor Oritsejafor! long live CAN!

The Olu of Warri you mentioned is late and there is a new Olu now

Can Nigerians vote since we are all Africans

She was indeed a legend. Where are her kids/family members?

Do these young ladies have parents at all?

Okowa is placing most projects in the Delta North and has abandoned Delta South and Central; he is not a good man

It has tayed that she's is fine.

Her Toski is fat o

God bless the new couple.

Fat

Great move! These Chinese Companies misbehave in the country. They treat Nigeria citizens like slaves and now they endangering the populace by cutting corners

In my opinion, empowering beer sellers is way better than paying Fulani herdsmen to continue to murder christians in southern Kaduna.

Kendzyma:
This is coming from a nairalander with d Monika Adesegunfat


My name is Adesegun Fatusi, and I am the Provost of the College of Health Sciences, OAU, Ile-Ife. The case of the Aror Oghenerukewve has just been brought to my notice. To throw more light on her case, I will present the detaild fact here.

With a score of 320, her mark from UTME amounts to 80% (i.e. 320/400 x 100)
Her school cert results are: English A1 (=8 marks); Biology C4 (=5 marks); Chemistry B3 (=6 marks); Maths B3 (=6 marks); Physics C4 (=5 marks); Physics C4 (=5 marks); Further Maths B2 (=7marks), and Civic Educ A1 (=8 marks). That gives her 45 points, or 70.3% (i.e. 44/64x100)

So her overall average - as OAU did a combination of 50% mark from JAMB and 50% mark from School Cert - is: (80+70.3)=75.15% (which we rounded up to 75.2%).

With that mark, she ranks number 103 on the list of the students who took Medicine as first Choice.

The total admission quota for Medicine in OAU is 100, and that includes UTME and Direct Entry).

Clearly although Aror did well, her mark was NOT good enough to earn her admission on merit to read Medicine in Ife. Her mark of 75.2% is clearly below our cut-off mark (which was initially 78%, but we later reduced to 77.7%). Between her mark of 75.2% and 77.7%, by the way, there were 56 other candidates who scored higher than her but did not make the cut-off. For example, two people had 77.6%, two other people had 77.5%, four people had 77.4% etc.
Having presented the detailed facts about Aror's case, let me also help the many young Nigerians who may be accessing this site with more information on admission as I see a lot of misrepresentation, falsehood, and misunderstanding from the comments that various people had made on this case.

1. Admission into Nigerian Universities are considered on three grounds based on the nationally specified criteria (which I think ought to be reviewed now, by the way):
A. Merit =45% (This covers all candidates from the country - and it is automatic admission once you meet the cut-off mark)
B. Catchment = 35% (this refers to those in the states specified as catchment area for each University: For OAU, that is Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Oyo, Osun and Ekiti)
C. Educationally disadvantaged states (ELDS)=20% = This refers to all the 19 Northern States, and Ebonyi, Rivers and Bayelsa.

So, someone from Delta such as Aror with 75.2% will not get admission into Medicine in OAU automatically as she is only considered on merit criterion and she does NOT meet the specified cut-off, but someone with the same mark from Kwara (which is in the North Central zone) may get automatic admission with the same mark based on the consideration of ELDS if 75.2% is the specified cut-off for ELDS for Medicine.

2. When a candidate chooses a highly competitive course like Medicine in a top-rated University like OAU, the competition is very intense. Believe it or not, many of the candidates that made our merit mark had an average of six A1s in school cert coupled with very high UTME mark (above 300). So, a candidate must carefully think over his choice of course and university. For example, if Aror had chosen ANY other course as her first choice for OAU, whe would have made the merit mark and gotten automatic admission, and she would have made the merit mark for Medicine on merit for most Nigerian universities too (but NOT OAU unfortunately).

3. Because of the high demand and competition for very limited spaces, the College of Health Sciences does not consider second choices as a general rule. OAU, for example, was only able to offer admission on UTME platform (Merit + Catchment + ELDS) to less than 3% of her applicants for Medicine, and less than 2% of her applicants for Nursing Science this year.

4. For cases like Aror where the candidadte has made a high mark but does not make the cut-off, what the candidate can sometimes do is to come to the University and try and see if he or she can be considered for other courses. A candidadte DOES NOT get considered automatically for a course she has not applied to in JAMB. A candidadte is ONLY automatically considered for the course he or she has applied for with respect to a particular university.

Unfortunately, Aror has left her case too late as all admission lists have been submitted for this year.

Something I do not understand; she ranked 103 and 100 candidates were admitted... there are 56 other candidates ahead of her who didn't meet the cut-off mark. If 56 candidates scored below the cut-off and also beat her in aggregate scores, how come she missed the list by 3 steps (103-100=3)?

OP your thought on the project is impressively shallow and wicked, and this is the sort of thinking that triggers unrest in the Niger delta. Why should the project be halted just because some few people allegedly diverted funds?

The maritime institution is meant for the common Nigerian youths and not for the old men that may have diverted funds; it is inappropriate for the common Nigeria youth to continue to pay the price for the misconducts of one or two persons.

Has the president been deprived of his monetary entitlements because the last administration misappropriated funds?

Just as this government is handling issues relating to funds diversion, the maritime funds issue should also be investigated while the project continue.

Shiit dey catch her

It seems this administration spends more time cooking lies than thinking how to fix the copious problems bedevilling the country

This is a gain to Buhari

While the dullard Buhari from Futa-Jallon is travelling to assorted countries, the mere commissioner Prof. Osinbade is visiting the ghettos in west Africa. It is well!

Smart kid! Congrats.

Thanks for providing those links; will go through the contents when I'm disposed.

Nope, that is incorrect. The gencos are already able to provide more power than the discos can transmit. Take a look at this Economist report for more info.

In other words, the installed generation capacity is already more than 2 times the distribution capacity.

Distribution is at the bottom of the problems we have in the power sector. The key issue in our power industry is generations. The DisCos does not own power plants and therefore can only supply power to consumers once they have procured it from GenCos. Metering at the consumption level is largely for accounting purposes; so it doesn't have a strong correlation with power supply improvement. Even the transmission grid, operated by the TransCo, have a much stronger effect on power supply improvement than the distribution network and consumption metering.

By forcing the discos to only charge for what they actually deliver. This will provide a much stronger incentive for them to upgrade their distribution infrastructure, whereas they could just sit back and collect flat-rate fees without the meters.

The problem is not our ability to make these things; the problem lies in the honesty in terms of the quality of materials used. Most Nigerians will use low quality material or conceal a deficiency in the product, and then claim the product is without blemish.

..
see mugu..anyway as i said earlier they guy isnt jus a criminal but a mad one..before we deviate from the point how has he been different or better than the case of father mbaka ?
if not for the stupidity of the CAN president *if e pain you go hug tx*
how can a supposed religous leader who has forsaken his leadership duties , romance with known corrupt politicians on the eve of a general election.possibly he was expecting another jet from gej from the public treasury..
on the issue of efcc mentioning his name..its to early to hang your self over it.and we dont expect mr president to arrest the CAN thief even if he is found wanting..considering how irrational we can be when it comes to religion in this country.

Can you substantiate all the infantile bile you just spewed about the revered CAN president, or you submissions are based on bear parlour and lowlife gossips?

Can you tell me how he abandoned his leadership duties? Amongst other responsibilities, a vital role of the CAN president is to ensure that Christians are safe in every part of the country; you and northern Muslims hate him cos he stands for the truth!

hamzeiy:

all this because he said gej will loose an election abi...
but when CAN president the criminal oritsejafor or wateva his name is did that wasnt part of politics abi..your type should keep deceiving them selves ..it wasnt an issue then

You are mad for calling the CAN president a criminal. Has he ever stolen from you and your miserable family? With the anti-corruption war going on, have you heard his name being mentioned? Or you think Dullard Buhari wouldn't have instructed the EFCC to carry out thorough checks on him in a bid to pin him down because of his firm stand on the marginalisation and killing of Christians in the North?
Once again, you are mad man for using such words on the revered CAN president!

Is it just me or there are others out there who have noticed the glaring misuse of the English diction in this write up? If this is the best our so called first class graduates can do then we are certainly on a long thing!

If you can understand the issue raised, that's enough; there is no rule that says all first class graduates should be perfect in writing. Your English diction may not be perfect too.

Videoshopped!

Nice background; mean the third pic

Dont unearth sentiments that cant be settled here. Please enjoy this thread and retract your insult on the Op and let it be! The monarch is the Olu of Warri and that has been gazetted. What more do you want, harbingers of discontent.

The OP gave a slightly wrong information, and he needed to correct that. This is a fun cum educative platform, and therefore giving accurate information is imperative. HRH, the Olu of Warri is the only recognised King in the warri kingdom; the other kings mentioned are offshoots of agitations of Urhobos and Ijaws; Urhobos and Ijaws claiming they own part of warri.
