Heard they shortlisted again@yday

Even today

MrJavaS:


ATBU Bauchi

Well I asked because I've seen the way you and some persons here have been making some grounds and predictions to draw or reach a conclusion that the seplat shortlisting is biased or something.

I'm an OYO state student who study CIVIL ENGINEERING in ABU and I'm shortlisted. So forget all those delta, medical, southern Universities assumptions. It's not true. I think the shortlisting is just by LUCK since no documents were required during the process of registration.

Xandre:
Has anyone been able to take the Seplat Test?

I think you should create a thread for it

MrJavaS:


Seriously,and I am sad about that. I'm schooling in a top federal university in the north and have high hopes of being shortlisted but still not shortlisted yet. We just have to keep praying

Which university if I may ask?

hAlexandro:
Omo I know this dude growing up in the subsurds of Agbowo in ibadan very dedicated to making it out of playing football rest on man. You lived

I've been looking for someone to make this kind of claim since. You surely know him. I think he's called "Henry" self. His mum sells bean cake at that same Agbowo. May his soul rest in perfect peace.

You that know all these, how rich are you now?

Congrats to all the new MTN scholarship awardees... More wins by Allah's grace

Xup bro. I just want to inform you that we have successfully registered for the putme. Thank you very much. The phoenix browser was of immense help.

You're welcome. I wish your niece best of luck in her Putme exercise.

clockwisereport:


I have not tried it at midnight. I will give it a trial this night. Thank you

You're welcome. You might want to use Phoenix browser instead of chrome too.... Most people have no problem using the site with phoenix.

clockwisereport:
@mujibson, why do I always get the error message "server error" anytime I want to access your school's post utme portal.

I want to register for my niece but I have been getting the error message for some days now.

A lot of people complained about same issue. I thought it has been rectified. Have you tried accessing the site at midnight?

Although none of them has the interest of students in mind, ASUU has been more consistent with their dealings, what they want and why they want it. FG has not given any logical reason as to why they shouldn't accept UTAS.

One of my lecturer wrote something and there is an atom truth in it, I think I should share it:

Authored by Dr. Abdelghaffar Amoka, ABU, Zaria

ASUU strike, Insincere Government and the public that refused to be schooled…

What interest me about our people is the fact that it is so easy for us to take side with our oppressors depending on where our loyalty lies at that moment. They asked why ASUU is on strike but never asked why education is never a priority of the government and why the government refused to honour an agreement they willingly signed. A lot have been written about ASUU and the current strike action but same questions that have already been addressed are still popping up on the same issues. Should we just give up on those that have refused to be schooled? As Teachers, we can’t just give up on you. We’ll still assume that you genuinely don’t know and still asking the questions to know. Even though IPPIS seems to have taking the centre stage of the struggle, some of the reasons why ASUU is on strike at the moment are:

- Implementation of 2019 MoA,
- The release of the 1.1 trillion naira Revitalization funds as agreed in 2013 MoU,
- The release of Earned Academic Allowance (EAA),
- Renegotiation of 2009 agreement. This renegotiation include the salary package of Lecturers,
Then, the added distraction called IPPIS and the payment of the withheld salaries.

There are lots of questions on the “University Autonomy” and the funding of public universities. There was a question that “How can you claim to be autonomous when you are funded by FG?” It is called “public university” because it is funded with PUBLIC FUNDS and it is autonomous because University is a system that need to be shielded from external political influence and interference. That is why NASS find it necessary to enact the Universities Autonomy Act No. 1, 2007. "The Universities (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Amendment) Act 2003 (otherwise called the Universities Autonomy Act No. 1, 2007) enacted by the National Assembly and signed into law on 10th July 2003 and later gazetted by the Federal Republic of Nigerian Official Gazette No. 10, Volume 94 of 12th January 2007 as Act No. 1 of 2000, has vested the powers of managing personnel and payroll system issues in the hands of each university’s governing council".

That means that by this Act and Nigerian law, the University's Governing Council, the managers of personnel and payroll system of the university, chaired by an appointee of Federal Government are empowered by law to hire Adjunct and Visiting Professors if the need arises but Buhari's government policy want to abolish it.

Meanwhile, the university has different management levels to checkmate the excesses in the system if properly utilized by the government who retains the ultimate power of control over the Universities. The management headed by the VC oversees the affairs of the university. The University Council hire the VC after due process, oversees the activities of the university management, vested with the powers of managing personnel and payroll system and can fire the VC if the need arises. The Visitor (President) hire the University Council Chairman, frequently send visitation panels to the universities to check the activities of the management and council and can fire the council chairman or even dissolve the entire council members if the need arises.

So, public university draws its funding from public funds and autonomous (freedom to govern self) to liberate the Universities from the bureaucracy of the Civil Service and to enable the Council exercise its powers and perform its functions without undue external interference or influence.

There was also this question that “How can ASUU be dictating to his employer on how they should be paid?” In the University Autonomy Act; Section 2AA states that: “The powers of the Council shall be exercised, as in the Law and Statutes of each University and to this extent ESTABLISHMENT CIRCULARS THAT ARE INCONSISTENT WITH THE LAWS AND STATUTES OF THE UNIVERSITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO THE UNIVERSITIES.” and Section 2AAA states that: “The Governing Council of a University shall be free in the discharge of its functions and exercise of its responsibilities for the good management, growth and development of the university.”

ASUU happen to be a group of intellectuals who don’t just follow but find reasons to follow. IPPIS is a policy that is against University Autonomy Act and INCONSISTENT WITH THE LAWS AND STATUTES OF THE UNIVERSITY and SHOULD NOT APPLY TO THE UNIVERSITIES. That is why ASUU is against IPPIS. ASUU made it clear in 2013 when IPPIS for universities was first mentioned that it cannot work in the university and will kill the system. The Accountant General of the Federation in 2014 realize and wanted to setup a committee to develop alternative solution for the universities that will achieve the objective of IPPIS. ASUU submitted names of their members for the committee and OAGF never responded till 2019 when the Office decided to force everyone into IPPIS. A government policy cannot override an Act of the National Assembly, somebody need to challenge that. Meanwhile, tell us of a country around the world that use a platform like IPPIS for their universities? Tell us of a country around the world with university payment system that close the door for Visiting and Adjunct Professors in their universities? Tell us of a University in the world that shut its door to international scholars but wish to attract international students? Tell us of a university around the world that introduce new programs in their universities without the help of Adjunct and Visiting Professors to nurture it to maturity? You can decide to choose to be a Zombie but any country whose intellectuals are Zombies is doomed.

ASUU has requested that the withheld salaries should be paid with GIFMIS which government is still using but the government rep still insisted ASUU members should enroll in IPPIS and migrate to UTAS later. And the ASUU President asked if that makes economic sense. I have not seen an answer to that question. You can't trick the Dons. As unanimously echoed by ASUU members across all Federal Universities, we are not in a rush to get paid the withheld salary. If they don’t want to use GIFMIS, they can keep the salary as savings and pay us when UTAS is ready. But that means the students will have to stay at home till then.

There was also a question of what is the university doing with students’ tuition? Why can’t university pay Visiting and Adjunct professors from students’ tuition? Unfortunately some of our students and graduates asking this question still don’t know that our university is tuition free. The N21,000 registration fee paid once in a year in ABU for example is not tuition but charges for medical fees, ICT fees, library fees, municipal services, sports, Examinations, faculty charges, registration, etc. For university to be able to pay the Adjunct and Visiting Professors from students fees, students may have to pay a minimum of N300,000 per annum. I am not sure of the percentage of Nigerians that can afford that under the unrealistic average salary structure and harsh economic reality.
Festus Keyamo on the 29 Oct 2018 tweeted “At the time Obasanjo and Atiku were building their Universities whilst in office, other Nigerian public Universities were constantly going on strike because of poor infrastructure and funding. Yet, they heartlessly carried on. May we never see their type in power again!” During PDP era, ASUU strike was every 4 years. And strike is now on yearly basis. Is this government handling of education better that OBJ/Atiku that improved the salary of Lecturers through strike after several years? Is this government handling of education better than Yar'adua's government that signed 2009 ASUU-FG agreement that was suppose to be renegotiated after 3 years? Is this government handling of education better than GEJ’s government that set up a committee for the NEEDS ASSESSMENT of public universities, recommended 1.3 trillion naira to revitalize all public universities (federal and state), and released the first tranche of 200 billion naira after 2013 ASUU strike?

During the FEC’s Special Retreat on Education that was held on the 13th November 2017 at the old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa in Abuja, the Minister of Education, Mall. Adamu Adamu said, “Mr. President, to achieve the desired CHANGE that education needs, there is the need for improved funding and a measure of political will in national governance. Such is the weight of the problems that beset our education and the deleterious effect it has had on our national development efforts that I believe that this Retreat should end with a declaration of a STATE OF EMERGENCY IN EDUCATION so that we can face the challenges frontally and squarely". The president, Muhammadu Buhari in his speech responded that "We cannot progress beyond the level and standard of our education. Today, it is those who acquire the most qualitative education, equipped with requisite skills and training, and empowered with practical know-how that are leading the rest. We cannot afford to continue lagging behind. Education is our launch-pad to a more successful, more productive and more prosperous future. This administration is committed to REVITALIZING the country’s education system and making it more responsive and globally competitive. We must get it right in this country. To get it right means setting our education sector on the right path. No nation can achieve economic, social, political and cultural prosperity without a sound and functional education system".

This is 2020 and about 2 years to the end of his government and it is still no clear how President intend to REVITALIZE EDUCATION to achieve economic, social, political and cultural prosperity. The government policy on education is still shrouded with uncertainty after 5 years. Can the IPPIS policy for Universities, a policy against University Act, all we need to get education right? They can't declare state of emergency in education like it was done for COVID-19 because quality and affordable education for the people is not their priority.

Meanwhile, Alhaji Lai Mohammed as APC Interim National Publicity Secretary in August 21, 2013 said; "What we are saying is that if the Federal Government would reduce its profligacy and cut waste, there will be enough money to pay teachers in public universities, as well as fund research and upgrade infrastructure in such institutions. Hungry teachers can neither teach well nor carry out research. And poorly-taught students can neither excel nor propel their nation to great heights." I agreed with him then and still agree with him now. If we set our priorities right, there is enough money to fund quality education at all levels in Nigeria”.

People wonder why ASUU members are so stubborn to go on for months without salary just to prove a point. As University Lecturers, the University is our immediate constituency and we have a responsibility to protect it from collapse for several reasons. We are ready to go back to work by tomorrow if the government play its part. If you want students to get back to school after these months of staying at home, tell the government to drop their ego and do the needful and we’ll all be happy.

To my colleagues in the struggle that have gone for at least 4 months without the payment of their legitimate salary, it is an ideological fight and a fight to finish so that we don’t have to go on another strike in few months. The weapon of starvation and hunger that the Elitists think they've got cannot break us. We have to be resolute and continue with the sacrifice. Victory is very near.

Every Jambite has 400 UTME score target until Jamb says otherwise.

Thecreatorx:

I finished my paper around 11:44 pm

Same you that said everyone should write before 2pm.

Now that you finished 11:44pm, were your questions HAVARD level?

.....

I still don't understand what the Facebook poster meant by " the repercussion of evil is evil". Did he mean to say the repercussion of being a NIGERIAN (EVIL) is SUICIDE (EVIL)?


Well as it is, if your father is a Politician, Police officer or SARS, you have to be very prayerful because normally, E NO SUPPOSE BETTER FOR YOU.

Ahumanbeing:

I don't think it's solely about CGPA....

My classmate with 3.54 is shortlisted..

The exam will be hyper competitive

Profayomide1:
It really help bro

Have you guys seen the PQ? Please share it here

....

Good evening bosses. Is there any specified file size for uploads? Someone said it shouldn't be more than 200kb, is it true?

Secondly, I've filled the scholarship form and I've uploaded all the necessary documents but I had to 'Save and continue" instead of "submitting" due to a reason. But I notice anytime I logged in back, every details I filled is always the way I saved it EXCEPT THE UPLOADS. I always have to reupload everytime I log in. Does it mean my uploads weren't saved in the first place or what could be the reason for that?

And lastly, I live in Ibadan and I school in Zaria (Kaduna). Now we're meant to choose exam center incase we're shortlisted. Now I'm confused as to which center to choose between Ibadan and Kaduna because of the ongoing ASUU strike. I don't know if we'll resume before the proposed exam date or not. What do you guys suggest?

CRUISETOPIAVP:

But the same person reported your 7 figure deal as 15M
Safe to say they are both fake news

Both are fake khe? No, they chose to believe what they want.

We will also believe what suit us too.

So the 15M news is fake while Linek- Kidd issue is true!

Imagine, a whole billionaire kid and his manager fighting over just 5M shior.

Anyone who believe that Pigwaya billionaire father is not audio would also believe whorelites are also created in the image of God.

Whorelite around 11:59 pm: Post one edited picture of Erica then according to them she's the most successful housemate in the history of BBN/BBA

I don't want to believe the way those idiots reason online is exact way they do offline. If so, then there are still many people who need that mental GoFundMe.

Who else notice all those low budget nairaland seers who fortell future during the show that one useless kidwaya sperm reservoir would be the most successful housemate because of her borehole and fine(cum filled) face have disappeared all of a sudden.

They even went as far as putting Laycon among the top ten least successful post BBN housemates.

Now I understand the saying that 'like begets like.'

An unfortunate person will always attract another unfortunate being.

A LovePeddler will always relate to a fellow LovePeddler.

LAYCON is an embodiment of GRACE, I'm happy I associate myself with him.

I've not seen Laycon in my trending list today o.

Something must be wrong somewhere fah.

Some people really need to shed some tears seeing our achievements today

Titaniumental:
Yh
Here it is.

"We're looking at Laycon and Nengi b4 and Vee cos she is Laycon's friend."

Buh it seems dey later decided to pick the 5.

https://twitter.com/i/status/1313096830067134468

M prayer is may God provide me with friends I need. Someone said could anyone have given Tolanibaj a deal because she's Erica's friend?

I've forgotten Whorica herself still dey hustle for one.

When you're big, you're big.

Vee is big
Nengi is bigger
Laycon is biggest.

It was Phy 111(Mechanics). That was the first time i sat on floor to receive lesson � A hall tha was meant to accommodate max 350 students was struggling to sit about 800. Las las, i realised that going to those crowdy lectures was mostly counter productive. I used to sleep jejely in the hostel, then catch up with the notes later.

Are you an Abusite?

Interviewer: Vee, now that you have seen that the reason why most viewers don't like you is cos of the way you stood by Laycon during his issue with Erica, any regret now?

Vee: Nope. I will do it again and again. I will forever defend Laycon.

And one Jeleosinmi nairaland teacher was betting with his useless life that Vee will apologize.
