Mrs.Chima:


And what are my preceptions dumb ash?

this dumb ass thinks that you, Mrs Chima; are an intelligent, strong and promising woman of high quality who despite her great attributes has for some reason best known to her chosen to judge all men harshly and wrongly instead of individually,there is no reason in existence that is valid enough to justify your mentality. how do you expect to be happy in life when you feed your soul poison everyday? There are men out there that you can build a successful relationship with and i personally think you have a lot of good to offer. So dear, open your heart.

Yield:

Of course, men's cultural upbringing and background will vary. But I disagree with you that all men are the same. It's a cliche and a stereotypical way of thinking. You're telling me the only differences amongst men are "cultural differences"; maybe in your book, but definitely not in mine. Anatomy and physiology-wise, yes, there're commonalities, but even with those factors you will still find differences if we were to look at each man individually (e.g. while they may have similar organs, that does not mean that in turn, they all function similarly). Personality-wise, they're definitely not the same. I like to look at people individually, not put them into unfair and false categories.


you are the kind of lady/woman that turns me on...sensible, trite judgements that are free of sentiments, mature, and intelligent. i too do not generalise all women as the same though i have seen a lot of deadly ones, it is an immature, insecure way to live life. everyone must be given a chance. You will definitely go far in life. itS obvious. I am happy you dont buy into Mrs Chima's perceptions...good gracious angry angry angry

Godian45: so y are 2nd choice aspirant still complaining if they wrote?

It is possible that what you are saying is the fact; maybe Unijos decided otherwise but that would not be fair after giving them hope of writing. If i wasnt there myself when the info was given at the ICT complex , I wouldnt have been so sure they wrote. As you have suggested, I will ask around to confirm. Thanks a lot.

Godian45: bro only 1st choice wrote d post ume don't say wat u don't knw here pls ask d 2nd choice aspirant if he wrote d post ume

My dear Godian45. Like I said, i have reason to BELIEVE so. I went to the ICT unit when i had problems with my POST UTME registration and i was listening when it was said that the 2nd choicers MUST be included in the post UME. The staff said that registration for the second choicers would begin the week before post ume and that everyone who chose UNIJOS as second choice would commence registration as from the 8th of July . He was talking to second choice candidates in my presence so if something happened along the way, you cannot blame me since I heard from the horse's mouth. And except if the second choicers i met have been lying to me (which would be unfortunate), they said they registered and wrote! undecided

1martinez: Pls i choose unijos as my second choice.is there a second thought for us?

I believe so. Afterall both first and second choice candidates wrote the post utme. UNIJOS CANNOT just ignore all second choicers!

OJABS_: Hon.PATRICK OBAHIAGBON on ASUU strike:
This ASUU strike is a miasma of a deprecable
apothesis of an hemorrhaging plutocracy,
cascadinly oozing into a maladorous
excresence of mobocracy. With all
tarmangant ossifying proclivities of a
kakistocracy, our knowledgia centura is
enveloped in a paraphlegic crinkum
crankum. Therefore, ASUU, cest in dejavu,
dejavu peret ologomabia.
Pls who will xplain dis better undecided

grin grin grin this is the translation, my english is still a bit ok after suffering from JAMB grin HERE GOES:

The ASUU strike is a bad atmosphere and SHOWS the perfect example of an internally wounded democracy (in Nigeria), the evil is seriously pouring fast and transforming it (Nigeria) into a stinking place where mobs and madmen are in control. With all the disgragefully shameful habits and hardening/increase in evil tendencies of a bad government where only the rich prospers and rules , our collective sense of reasoning has been caged in a paralysed state. Therefore ASUU should remember, remember vivdly how boring the government is, how it repeats it bad actions, ASUU must not forget how government treated it in the past....the peret ologomabia is old italian language, i think it is old Latin and i am not sure of its meaning! undecided

Goddon32: wht did u mean by dat? Wht of d strike? Wil d list b realis whn ASUU strike is stil ongoin?

Yes it is possible. Especially when the school administration and ASUU are not on the same page. Sometimes, after ASUU has called off the strike, some schools admin usually make peace with ASUU to accept the admission list so in some cases, it is possible. The school admistration just needs to be wise about how they handle their ASUU branch, if not, then there is usually a disruption in the academic calendar. IT HAPPENED in Unilorin in 2001 and i think UDUSOK sometime ago too.Yes, UDUSOK. Let's see what unfolds.

THESE ARE UNILAG'S authentic 2013/2014 CUT OFF MARKS. you can just glance through and so sorry for the misinformation about Kwara not being a catchment of Unijos, it was a horrible mistake. I was looking at another school entirely from the south west. The error is regretted.

ferdimako:

You better go and join National Open University of Nigeria. I don't think 60% for Math is tenable.

You are very correct, ferdimako, math didnt have many applications this year, it definitely will be lower than 50% for sure.

Goddon32: Na wa o, if dat is it den it is realy a serious tin bt sha i trust in God i 40% in post ume n 193 in jamb goin 4 po sci

from what i see, political science might also shoot up this year in fact to about 55% or even above 60%, like sociology, many also seemed to have applied for it but you have to wait for the admission list, if you are not given pol sci, you ll be given something else so you dont have to be sad at all.

Isjaymoh:

Is this cuttoff marks for this year admission? because i scored 44% and am going for Sociology and Socoilogy cuttoff mark is 45%. What are my chances of gaining admission with 44% for a course like Sociology? And am also from a catchment area, am from Kwara state. Advice.

The truth is that sociology candidates might be much this year, the cut off will shoot up to 60% if many do well. that is for sure. advice is to wait for the admission list. you never can tell and yes; Kwara is in UNIJOS's catchment.

sakaguchi: @Nyles and @Wittywizard I pray both of you school/schooled in Uniabuja, because that would torpedo a lot of impression I have formed while following this thread ever since the OP opened it. The write-ups and grammar I have seen here are just terrible, the only time you get to see articulate grammar that makes sense on this thread is when a certain dude Mrpresido and Richiez (I guess) COPY AND PASTE newspaper publication (apart from the copy and paste, even these duo are nothing commendable), every other thing here are eyesores and it is betoken of the fact that Uniabuja is gliding down the ramp to hit rock-bottom when other schools are soaring. Our school can no longer lure bright minds to it, I must say that the applicants here do not give me any reason to cheer and this malignant problem plaguing uniabuja is not the fault of the Government, why is it that the best of best of applicants would rather fill in Unilag, OAU, UI, UNN, Unilorin and leave uniabuja with the least of applicants in all federal universities, that means that our lecturers are also to be blamed in the collapse of education structure here and nationwide, afterall, no Nigerian University is among the elite institutions in Africa, Government and ASUU together with its affiliates (NASU, SSANU) are to be blamed.
January 2012 when ASUU
was on one of their many
strikes, there was this joke
circulating on twitter that
between (ASUU), matchstick
and thunder, who strikes
more? Funny as it sounded, it
only brought humour to an
issue that should be looked
into by our lecturers with a
sombre introspection. ASUU
formed since 1978 are yet to
learn how to combat the
Govt. over its insouciance on
Nigeria's education, in its 35
years of existence, it is yet
to come out with measures
that speaks to the Govt. in
the language they
understand while leaving the
innocent Nigerian students in
schools and in classes
learning the art of life.
Funny how all their industrial
actions are centered on #
MONEY with every other
issues being relegated to the
back-burner. ASUU cannot
claim to have the interest of
the Nigerian students at
heart while they are directly
culpable in adding additional
years to their stint in school.
Even if ASUU were to speak
on the quality of education
and infrastructures available
in our ivory towers, they
consciously avoid mentioning
those far more important
issues in the same breath as
their #MONEY.
Come to think of it, it is not
as if they are not partners in
crime in the deplorable state
of our educational centres
today. Our truculent
erudites are ever willing to
down-tool, a practice that
has seemingly become an
annual event.
Who for God-sake will go on
strike over the poor
knowledge delivery from our
lecturers, it is not new that
harassment of female
students have become a
perennial practice in our
institutions, just last month, a
scapegoat was caught by the
horn in ABU, but these are
practices that occur
everyday in every Nigerian
University.
Who will strike on these crimes committed by ASUU members?
Or that handouts are still
being traded in our schools
and lecturers miss lectures
with impunity.
Who will strike on this?
They talk of salaries and
allowances and yet some are
(unfortunately) barely
qualified to lecture on the
courses they teach.
Back then when I was in
100L, I was lectured in
physics and chemistry as do
many of my colleagues, I can
bet that we could easily swap
position with our lecturers so
that they sit and listen while
we do the talking.
Annoyingly, our knowledge of
physics came entirely from
reading textbooks in that our small library in gwagwalada are not from
our strike-happy lecturers
who with due respect could
do with some lectures
themselves.
So the question still
surface for the umpteenth
time,
who will strike over all
these impropriety by ASUU members?
That being said, it is an
embarrassment that we have
a president who is suppose to
have passed through a
university, if this assertion
is true, it is inexcusable that
he treats education with
such levity. Words on the
street is that he was once a
lecturer,meaning that he too
would have, like his peers,
down-tool severally over this
perennial quagmire, then why
would he display this boorish
actions over legitimate
demands from our teachers?
Ofcourse an easy-to-bring
answer to this last question
is that our leaders have sent
out their wards outside the
shores of this country while
leaving our barely surviving
institutions to plunge into
decrepitude.
So the ultimate question still
remain unanswered,
Who suffers in these
frequent and incessant
strikes ASUU embark on?... #
The Nigerian students
ofcourse...
ThankGod its only ASUU
that is embarking on strike,
not the #INTERNET, that
means our main and primary
source of learning is still
working.
When next ASUU decides to
downtool, they should spare
us the long rhetoric and
state the obvious, their
strike centres on their
already tumescent pockets
not on our best interest. Let
us graduate in peace and in
time and leave our fight for
us to take.
If GEJ who was once a lecturer acts this way, it
brings into askance if your
reason(s) for striking is
internecine among ASUU
members, don't be surprise if the current ASUU chairman (Faggae) becomes a governor and personally see to the death of his state university. @Wittywizard, these people are not sincere jaare,
one thing still stands out as
TRUTH, the Govt officials
are overpaid...
ASUU are (supposedly/
controvertibly) underpaid, so
too is the Military, Police,
Teachers, Nurses etc, if all
these are to down-tool
annually as ASUU is incline
to, I wonder what will be of
our country.
This same ASUU were in
UniAbuja while
administrative incompetence
which led to horrendous
hardship of Medical, Vet and Engineering students
festered right under their
noses while they carried out
their ASUU meetings
unperturbed.
Sha! They should Keep it up!!!
Federal Govt and its
partners in crime (ASUU,
Police and co) are steadily
fanning the flame and Embers of
revolution in this country.
.......Emmanuel.


This is such good piece of writing! Well you are right in so many ways especially with the tumescence and insouciance going on. Do not judge all Abuja students too quickly although i have met a couple and i am not proud of them at all...I MEAN at all. I still believe that there are worthy students in this university even with the situation of things. Lets Just be a little optimistic in the midst of this nasty hurly-burly and keep developing ourselves in the process. As for ASUU, I do know that most of them are not sincere in their pursuits but there is nothing they can do to impede our future, THAT'S for certain.

to make tertiary education world
standard , you are call on
ASUU to return to you
dirty, ill-equiped classroom
and labs. The mere fact that
you are satisfy with the
status quo and want to
go back to it means
that you have no

Whatever the case is, ASUU will come back to classrooms, the FG or ASUU cannot truncate anyone's future. Both parties have no choice, they cannot keep us at home forever. it is still left to us to develop ourselves on our own if we want to succeed in life, ASUU or no FG! I HAVE FOLLOWED this problem for years and i know something is not right somewhere within both parties! This is the kind of post that takes away God and faith and hope from the hearts of men, instead, you should say positive things to encourage people in the face of this stand off! Please restrict your weeping, it is not for us! A man is fighting to cross a river of crocodiles and all you tell him is that wild animals will devour him even if he succeeds??!! We all are aware of the tense situation on ground but some of us have made a decision to stop complaining around and start maintaining determination. it is only us that can change things starting with ourselves. whether you like it or not, those who work, contribute and stay positive will rise above all this confusion and bring Nigeria pride and those who like to analyse without raising a muscle will fade into obscurity Please try to encourage people, you need to see what people post sad, no one will need to tell you that some are close to suicide, not everyone is strong that is why so many need words of strength; dont increase the depression index for our youths, we have a future by God's grace! angry undecided .

Joeprince2nd: what looks like punishment for the poor faculty staff? If u are 2 convert that average % into jamb standard it will be 55.8*4= 223.2, but if d % is approximated to 56 it will be 224.
I gat this from a unijos staf, i don't what department he is specifically but i over heard him telling a lady on phone that, that's how unijos give admission.

ok then.if you say so. we ll wait for the list. Thanks for your effort. smiley
Education / Re: University Of Jos 2013/2014 Admission by nyles: 9:29pm On Jul 28, 2013
Joeprince2nd: Guys and ladies i just conferm the way in which unijos is given admission. It's as follows
60% of ur jamb score + 40% of ur postutme score.
This is no joke.

Are you serious? wow. undecided People are expectant so they need concrete information. Is your source reliable? If what you say is true then the calculation becomes jamb score/400 x 60 + putme score/100 x 40 so if someone scored 224 in jamb and 56% in putme, the calculation would be as follows: 224/400 x 60 = 33.6 out of 60 + 56/100 x 40 =22.4 out of 40. 33.6 + 22.4= 55.8%. Are you sure this is reliable? It looks like punishment for the poor faculty staff embarassed undecided

That's why i am saying that it is difficult to really know how the admission criteria is determined! There are several ways to calculate percentages so one cannot really tell. The awaiting result candidates cannot benefit from the above calculation. There should be a better easier way because this method is quite lengthy...quite but who knows, it just might be it...but i doubt.
Education / Re: University Of Jos 2013/2014 Admission by nyles: 11:01pm On Jul 23, 2013
God leads: Pls hw does unijos calculate aggregate?

I THINK its the average of both utme and post utme, the utme is either scaled to 100% (your jamb score divided by 400 then x 100%) or so before adding the answer to post utme score and dividing by 2. Thats how some schools do it but the post utme seems to be important and i dont know about unijos's calculation style. i m not sure.
