How do you accredit without admitting students?
Okay you just employ staffs and keep paying them salaries without work till those students gain admission and get to that level?
That's waste of money on the school path and the lectures will be bored with lack of work..
Help us retweet and loud this #stagnanteksumed

You're so funny..In Nigeria where things don't work out easily as planned,Everything that's connected to medical school must be on ground before admitting students...The teaching hospital,laboratories must be well equipped.. Staff must be in a reasonable amount... Atleast,The 3rd phase of accreditation must have been finalised before admitting..Just imagine yourself spending 9 years and you're stuck in 300L, isn't it suicidal?

If you want to study medicine in any state govt institution in Nigeria most especially as pioneer intake, It's your choice but don't come and weep later.
A word is enough for the wise. �

It's time Federal Govt starts penalizing any school that admits students into medicine without full accreditation from the regulatory.
personally,I wouldn't even advise my enemies to study medicine in any state govt school but out of desperation and anxiety,some students fall to their bait...
Most of the state institutions are only interested in your money,they don't care about your future nor the output.
Take for Instance,university of Ibadan pharmacy school lost its accreditation recently and the school did well to inform the general public and warn candidates to change their course or Institution...This is what a honest and transparent Institution does.
It's very rare to find any state govt institution that doesn't have problem with medical school accreditation.
Students should make enquiries before making choices because they are to suffer the consequences later .

I don't why you guys derive joy in creating confusion... There was no where it was stated that it has been cancelled.it seems some people ''s accounts were deducted more than once, hence the need for refundment...Verify your news before pasting.

It is obvious you can't digest previous posts, since you are sure it negative marking then analyse how possible it is to be negatively marked 17/40.

It would have been better of if they had sticked to their pencil and paper Test rather than subjecting innocent people to frustration and anguish... This is what you get when you want to copy others at all cost...

While Barca prevailed 3-0 on Sunday the win was a hollow one for the defender, who broke down while speaking to reporters after the game
An emotional Gerard Pique offered his resignation from the Spain national team following a day in which the Catalunya region was engulfed by violence between referendum voters and police.
The world was shocked on Sunday by footage of Spanish national police striking out at protesters across the region, with some of the bloodiest clashes occurring in Catalan capital Barcelona.
A controversial referendum on Catalan independence was the flashpoint for incidents, with more than 400 people so far reported injured and Barcelona's La Liga clash with Las Palmas played behind closed doors.
And even though Barca strolled to a 3-0 win , Pique could not hide his indignation having voted himself before the match, and challenged critics of his pro-Catalan stance in the RFEF and national team.
"If the coach or any director of the Federation thinks that I am a problem for the national, I will step aside before the World Cup," the defender, visibly moved by the day's events, told reporters at the final whistle.
"It has been a very hard game to play, the worst experience of my professional career.
"I am and I feel like a Catalan and today I am proud of the people of Catalunya.
"We are not a minority, there were millions of us. We are not the bad guys, we just want to vote."
Barcelona had requested that their Sunday game not go ahead in light of the widespread police crackdown on voting in the region on a referendum that the Spanish government had branded illegal.
La Liga, however, had insisted that the game go ahead without any access for supporters
due to fears of violence within Camp Nou.
Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola, who has played for and coached Barcelona, expressed his dismay at how the team had been forced to play against Las Palmas.

Hmm

youngvc1:
Are you among those students who will read, read, and read ; or study for eight stretch hours and nothing to show for it. You get to exam hall and discover you could not remember anything. Oh! I see, you have concluded that your memory isn’t good enough, or maybe you don’t know how to learn fast.

Yeah you are right! Some of us used to think like that. But the truth is there is no such thing as a “bad memory”, and everyone can improve their memory, as long as you are not suffering from memory loss as a medical condition.
It is easy to master and memorize anything you want all you need is to figure out the type of memory you have and the learning skills that work for you perfect. As individuals differs in outlook, character – so do they differs in learning skills. Haven’t you noticed it that it is not everyone that love studying in the night or are you not aware that scientist proves that night is not the best time to study.

To memorize fast or to improve your learning skill you need to understand the kind of learning group you fall in the learning
system. I will discuss the three major learning system and you be able to figure where you fall in. However before that,
understand that learning fast requires you to:

Have a Positive Mindset: Stop thinking that you have a “bad memory.” Convince yourself that you do have a good memory
that will improve. Stop seeing others as having better memory than yours, stop thinking you are only good with reading
(English, related objectives) and never with math or quantitative.

Have an organized life: An organized life leads to organized memory, if you hardly remember where you keep your notes,
documents, wrist watch and others items how would you remember, what you just learned. Improved organization can help
free up your powers of concentration so that you can remember less routine things.
Why not set a routine for everything you are doing. Decides to keep all your note in one place, your pen, bangles and others in
specific location that way you will be more organized. Plan your activities before hand.

Have a Healthy Lifestyle: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is a key to developing an improved memory. Get enough sleep.
Sleeping improves your neuron-plasticity – your brain’s ability to grow – which enhances the brain’s ability to control behavior
and memory. The amount of sleep we get affects the brain’s ability to recall recently learned information according to study
carried in Harvard university .

Exercise regularly: Study has shown that regular aerobic exercise improves circulation and efficiency throughout the body
including the brain and can help ward off the memory loss that comes with aging. It is also argued that exercise makes you to be more alert, improving your picture – mental memory.

Mind your eating habit: Understand that eating heavy meal before reading is more like a waste of time, because your body will surely send signal to your brain that this body needs rest – then comes sleep. Also never try to read on an empty stomach except where you don’t have choice. Try taking light meal, snacks or even fruit to reduce the urge for food.

Three Kinds of Learners With Different Learning Skills

1. Visual Learners: These are the group of people who visualize things faster with their mind power and object like information seek in the head faster than others. You fall in this group if:
You visualize things as you learn them, you picture the whole situation as if you were there when it happened.
Information on pictures, charts, or diagrams is much easier to remember than the same information presented to you verbally.
You remember pictorial information faster than verbal, audible ones, you understand better when you read than when you listen to same.
You’re able to read and understand people by their body language, knowing what they’re really thinking, even as they say something else, and very much aware of your environment.
Tips For Effective Learning – Visual Learner
Stay away from distraction:[i][/i] Always stay away from fun catching object, no TV, Group of people, Cinemas, always look out for quiet environment. If possible live outside the school hostel. When studying in the library, face the wall as the last person in the library to be sure you are not seeing people entering and leaving the library.
Highlight the keyword when reading: [/b]This technique work perfectly well for my friend. When he is reading he highlight every key word with his pen and ensure they stick in his head. During exam time he scan his note with those keyword. It work perfectly well for him.
[b]Try chewing gum during mathematics. It is one of the secrets of mastering and solving any math problem. It works really well to improve function in the Hippocampus, an area in your brain directly related to memory
Draft out your own study note: Developing your own note from your lecturer materials help you to read fast and understand with speed. As you are preparing that note you are getting used to it. So it gives you opportunity to say it in your own language and style.
Move around. Pace around the room while studying and repeating the information to yourself. By walking around, you will use both your right and left brain and will memorize the material much easier.
Highlight your points with arrow or image: [/b]Just represent all your point with visual object that will help you remember so fast.
For instance, let say one of your point is “improved memory leads to happiness, you can simply draw sketch image of a happy person close to the point.
[b]2. Auditory Learners: These are the class of people who perform better by hearing things, and can retain information that comes to them orally, you’re. You fall in this group if:
You have musical talents, and the ability to hear tones, rhythms, and individual notes in a chord or an ensemble setting.
You easily remember verbal information that you hear either in conversations or during your lecture hours.
You have a well-developed vocabulary, an appreciation for words, and strong language skills, picking up new languages relatively easily.
You’re a good speaker, and can carry on interesting conversations, articulating your ideas clearly.
Tips for effective Learning – Auditory Learners
Pay attention in class and during conversations: This kind of individuals learn fast when listening to the wordings and audio. You must always be in the class and avoid any form of distraction while in the lecture room.
Record some of your lecture note: Start by recording some of your lecture note, listen to it and see how you perform on it after some self-test. If you learn better then stick to it and take advantage of same. Just take your note read them aloud and record it as you read out, play it often so you get used to it.
Also try taping lectures to help you both fill in the gaps in your notes, and to hear the information presented again. Listening to it a second or third time can often be enough to cause the information to stick without much more effort. This is a practical skill in making first class in the university.
Take advantage of repetition: Use verbal and listening repetition to help you remember the order of things. Take sentence by sentence and try repeating them one at a time until you’re able to say them without the paper.
Repeat this process until you no longer need your note to answer basic question without your note. Practice this step time with time then until you are good to go.
Take a short break walk. It’s important to keep your mind fresh, so once you think you have something roughly memorized, take a 20- to 30-minute break. Do something that makes you feel relaxed and happy, like playing game, watching jokes, anything to relax your brain.
Memorize your favorite song or poem until you can say it to yourself without any help. Try to do this often
3. Analytical Learner: This group belongs to individuals who learn faster by acting. They learn faster with demonstration/practice. They are often more mathematically inclined than the other two type of learners. You fall in this group if:
You learn best when you are hands-on––moving, doing, and touching help make the information real to you.
You love demonstrating .our view with body movements.
You remember events by what happened, but not necessarily what was said or seen.
You tend to be adventurous and easily distracted, finding it hard to stay put for long periods.
You don’t like sitting in classrooms when there are things you could do that would teach you more. Or you hardly stay two hours reading but can stay a whole day practicing something.
Tips for effective Learning – Analytical Learners
Practice and learn: Try writing what you learn as you are learning it, if you are reading on how to design web, try every step you learn practically that way the process will stick into your head. Always do a self-practice test in the process of learning.
Be creative: Act out or pretend to be the object, trying to mimic every detail of the object. Try using your hand to read, figure out other approaches to what you are reading. If you discover other steps – ask yourself if your own point relates to the others one
Break down objects: For instance, if you want to memorize list a phone number. 123446332067 you can break this number down into 1234-4633-2067. This way it becomes very easier to memorize the number than it original state.
You can use acronyms: This one work very well for me while in the university. What I normally do is to take each point keyword first alphabet and make word from them. Let say you have four points why university education is good. Take the first alphabet of each point keyword and thereafter make word at of all of them.

NB: Memorizing is not cramming: Cramming only works to put information in your short-term memory. You may remember the information for your exam the next day, but you will barely recall the unit when it’s time to take the final.
Have a more effective way or the one that work for you share it with us, so that others can benefit from your wide range of
information.

Chewing gum has been my secret in recent times,I learnt that from a First Class student in my department...Chewing gums most especially makes you more relax in an exam hall.. It enhances rapid flow of oxygen and blood to the brain,thus enhancing retention and cognitive prowess..I mostly used it during exams not while reading... My results so far have improved tremendously...I attribute every success to God anyways.

They are looking for cheap labour, why not permanent workers as they are only seeking house officers, pupil pharmacist and intern lab scientists

I'm sure you're not even a graduate of medicine nor a medical student..If you're, you need acute re-orientation.

Emu4life:
wat tha hell!!! Only God knows how many have lost their lives cuz of diz POST-UTME struggles.... Govt should scrap this post (extortion) exercise ASAP.
RIP to the dead.

So Everyone that has died from accident went for post utme?If the person gains admission,will he/she be studying from home? Death occurs anywhere....Next time, think deeply before you utter anything...
RIP to the lady.

Sorry you didn't stay In Uniben hostel,if you did I am guessing you won't even bother typing this shit...hall 1to 3 was so dirty...na only hall 4 and 5 good, and of course the ones NDDC and other banks built

I never said Uniben Hostels are world class, I've only said they are better than these shits from the so called Great Ife.I've stayed in Hall 3 and Hall 4,so I'm sure of what I'm saying.

Hollad100:
HELLO GURUZ.
I need advice and clarification please?
I choose UI and applied for MATHEMATICS been the course I'm currently studying in school , trying to change school due to consistent strike in my current institution.
Now that PUTME application has ended, is it advisable for me to change Course via JAMB. Don't know if it will be updated with UI before admission process commence.

You're funny o.. Nothing will be updated..Send me the money that you want use to effect the change and I'll joyously pray for you.

newsynews:
It appears bed bugs are really troubling students of Obafemi Awolowo University as they are pictured below spreading their mattresses outside cos their hostel is getting fumigated.

https://www.wotzup.ng/bed-bugs-oau-students-hostel/

Uniben Hostels are far better than these dunkyards...And If you see their students bragging,you'll think OAU is on the same level with Oxford.

ennydammy11:
if UI is to use utme & o lvl + p.utme scores won't it affect those peoples with low point in jamb and waec going for med related courses?

Surely,It will.

EngrBello:
Hmmm...lets hope for the best

I'm not even in support of using utme scores because I'm sure many scored above me.. But it seems this year admissions may take a new dimension from the way events are unfolding.

EngrBello:
[left]
I'd be happy,if you've reasoning with me..not just jumping into a dement conclusion. According to JAMB, the new CAPS is a market place where institutions can go and request for students who meet their cut off mark.
Now listen: Do you think Ui will go into any market requesting for students after the conclusion of p.utme....? No matter how influential they are¿

Less competitive Schools can go on requesting for students not Ui,Unilag,unilorin,ABU and so on...

And with the C.A.P.S ..am not saying ui won't follow it...just that, they'll comply with the aspect that institutions will write a letter to JAMB to request for students and also give the students up to 3 days to reply. that is;. For students who have passed p.utme and a guarantee Admission....

JAMB SAID;
[s]The new policy will also give the academic board or senate of an institution the power to ‘allocate percentages to JAMB, the school and O’level results as these will be calculated to get the students’ cut off marks for post-UTME.[/s]......if you believe the last paragraph(said by jamb) ? Then you need to wake up¡ You must be dreaming...

Is it not the same way people were saying UI would not follow their directive last year? Anything can happen;Utme scores may be used also.

bukdan:
OAU putme question was just 40. I think this people are serious about the C.A.P.S. O'level is 10%, utme 50% putme 40%. Expect something similar from UI if not the same.

Cc Engrbello
Cc MrHistorian

Utme is 60 percent.

OracleE:
He is more experienced than most of the defenders we have now and he has played at the top level more than all of them. So it would b e wise to keep him on for now

You dey watch Chelsea match? Experience no help cahill oga.

Samwise001:
Hello guys . Please I need your help asap.
I ignorantly clicked accept without been given admission on the jamb caps of a thing...
Now my current status is Accepted.
What should i do pls help asap....

Just pray it's not complicated...I just pray people won't reject their hardearned admissions with this caps of a thing.

aceOpace:
I no vex o, I think you're right about high scoring students in the UTME coming out with low scores in the post UTME, I'll put that in mind and work towards scoring high in the post UTME to avoid such. But it's not necessarily because of that that I made that post, I just think it lacks logic, not to talk of the emotional stress candidates have to pass through. Imagine, there isn't a well laid down procedure to follow, everything is just been introduced randomly.

Examination is not really a true test of Knowledge..It's just a yardstick to get what you want.. Ofcourse, Questions from utme and putme are always different.It all boils to you being favoured with some many questions you know.. Another person may not so lucky with same questions you were both given. Even the guy that had 90 putme might not be even be in the top ten in his class currently... performances in Examinations are influenced by some many factors. We should all prepare well and pray whatever they bring favour us.

DammyBizEnterpr:
Have been trying it since yesterday. Once I click on the portal , it will take me back to home page . please what is wrong

You're toiling with your future..Where were you since it started?

aceOpace:
Thanks bro. Basically, SSCE qualifies candidates for admission, UTME ranks the students according to their performance, the school sets the admission quota, and candidates are filled in according to their rank in the UTME exam, why write post UTME then? Since SSCE has certified the candidate qualified, and the UTME has ranked the candidate. Of what use is the post UTME then? OK, I understand that schools like UI do it to separate the wheat from the chaff as it seems they don't trust the UTME results, but is it necessary?

It's not a bad idea using only UTME to rank students.Using O level results to rank students was the only parameter I strongly abhorred..I think why putme is still uphold is because of the massive number of applicants that cross the 200 mark every year so the universities have to devise other means of reducing the population and further scrutinizing the applicants to get the best.. personally,I love it that way because I couldn't prepare well for the jamb Utme and my jamb score wasn't that high that's even if UI still use both.

aceOpace:
Confused. It seems the people in charge are confused too.

Generally most schools use Utme and putme scores to input aggregates. I think UI is only one of the few exception but might follow suit this year because jamb stated that jamb score must be 50 percent...Nobody knows what will happen though.. But based on my understanding,O level is meant for qualification and not ranking.

CondomSir:
From my own observations, I even think O'level grades will also have a percentage in the total admission score.

I don't think so.... If jamb takes at least 50,,So putme and o'level will split 50..I don't think so.... O'level scores was not emphasized as much as utme and putme.

Nphzzycute:
LMAOO


Dude is so desperate or what should I call it?

One has to be smart... If I'm sure of only 50 questions,will it be enough for me?I just pity that guy... It seems Devil is playing chess games with his head... You can only be marked wrong and not one mystical negative marking.
