The New Education Curriculum: Distinguishing Rumours from Facts. In 2010, former President Goodluck Jonathan convened a National Summit on Education. The Summit unanimously agreed that the Nigerian basic education curriculum is unwieldy, about 20 subjects at the time, and recommended a reduction in the number of subjects offered at the basic level of education. ~~~In 2012, the Federal Government approved a curriculum reform aimed at rationalizing the subjects offering in public schools in line with global practices and standards and the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC) was mandated to effect that. ~~~In 2014, NERDC came up with a 9-year curriculum with the subjects arranged into groups, producing a maximum of 12 subjects at the lower basic (primary 1-3), 9 subjects at the middle basic (primary 4-6) and 10 subjects at the upper basic (JS 1-3). a) For primary 1-3: the subjects are: English Studies, Mathematics, Nigerian Languages, Basic Science and Technology, Religion and National Values, Cultural and Creative Arts, and Arabic Language. b) For Primary 4-6 add (a) plus Pre-vocational studies. c) For JSS 1-3, add (b) plus Business Studies and French Language. NOTE: English, Mathematics, French language, Arabic Language, and Business Studies (at the upper basic) are the only subjects that stand on their own. All the remaining 17 subjects in the Curriculum have been respectively listed under various subject groupings: Religion and National Values, Nigerian Languages, Basic Science and Technology, Pre-Vocational Subjects, and Cultural and Creative Arts. ~~~2015 was the year slated for the implementation of the reform across the nation. NOTE: While all the other subjects are core, Arabic Language at all levels is OPTIONAL. NOTE: All the above (from conceptualization to formulation of the policy) happened under Goodluck Jonathan, immediate past President, Nyesom Wike, then Minister of Education, and Prof. Godswill Obioma, the former NERDC Executive Secretary. ~~~In 2016, in the spirit of continuity of government’s policies and programmes, the current Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu gave directives as appropriate for the implementation of the reform. Now let us look at the bone of contention, which is related to the teaching of CRS and Islamic Studies. Under the reform, as noted above, five subjects have been grouped under Religious Studies and National Values. These are: A) CHRISTIAN RELIGIOUS STUDIES (CRS) B) CIVIC EDUCATION C) ISLAMIC STUDIES D) SECURITY EDUCATION AND E) SOCIAL STUDIES The Christian Religious Studies (CRS) under the Curriculum has three themes, namely: (i) God and His Creation (ii) God’s Call and (iii) Keeping God in our Relationships Also, Islamic Studies has three themes: (i) Qur’an (ii) Tawhid and Fiqh and (iii) Sirah and Tahdhid NOTE: CRS and IRS are offered alternatively as a student is not allowed to offer both. QUESTIONS: a) Where did the CAN leadership and its otherwise discerning fellow travellers now threatening brimstone and fire get their idea that Christian Religious Studies was removed from the school curriculum and that Islamic Studies is being foisted on the country? b) Why should religious leaders engage in beating the drums of war on such matters as curriculum review and playing bad politics with our educational system? c) Are there no better ways of engagement, even when we have misgivings about a government policy? What purpose is all this overheating the polity supposed to serve? People showing forth ignorance on my wall should desist. There are more important issues to discuss.. copied from facebook |

ASUU’s mindless attacks on Oloyede-led JAMB April 24, 2017 0 By: Moses Agwu The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has somehow managed to take time off churning out half-baked graduates as it savages the Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) over reported failings in the mock test scheduled by the examination body. Its angst has nothing to do with the glitches that were caught in the test run of a new system being put in place by JAMB but rather has more to do with a long running animosity against the agency’s current leadership and a desperation to maintain a status quo that has not done the country’s tertiary education any good. The union’s chairman of the University of Ibadan chapter, Dr. Deji Omole, alternated between demanding the scrapping of JAMB and calling for the resignation of its Registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede. In other moments of frothing rage, Omole asked the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu to call Oloyede to order. As if to remove any doubts as to the quality of teachers that Nigeria relies on to train our youths, the ASUU Chairman betrayed the deficit in the analytic skills of his likes and co-travellers by suggesting that JAMB was exploiting prospective candidates when in actual fact the entire cost of the entrance examination is way below the amount that ASUU members charge for one set of printed substandard study material. Omole’s tirade also exposed and confirmed a fact that many Nigerians had expressed concerns about severally. It is the fact that our so called citadel of learning have nothing to show by way of innovation and ASUU’s kick against the digitization of the registration of students aspiring to be undergraduate clearly proves that its members would rather keep the entire country in the era of paper, ruler and thick back notebooks for registration, which is not only retrogressive but opens the pathway for manipulation and corruption. The anger against the computerization of the entire process therefore apparently has more to do with anger about growing efficiency in tracking the number and performance of students that eventually get admitted as opposed to the past when schools and ASUU members conspired under different guise to scheme out those that pass the Unified Matriculation Examination (UMTE). Admissions were in that dark era usually based on some funny criteria that have no bearing on performance. In such instances, it was not unusual to hear of “(ASUU) chairman’s list” that was usually populated by persons that have parted with thousands of naira in bribe to their would be lecturers to secure admission. It is apparent that even as supposed academics and educationists, ASUU members caught up with news about the mock examination from the media. It is gratifying that members of this union still retained the capacity to read news and catch up with events in the real world as opposed to the utopic fantasies of perfection they have woven for themselves in the various citadel. The leadership of ASUU must have therefore also seen in the news how the police apprehended its members with firearms and how they are implicated in promoting cultism and campus gangs that have killed several undergraduates. They must read how their colleagues have graduated from cash for marks to salacious sex for marks. The news space and national discourse are replete with the harrowing experience of having to deal with the unemployable graduates that are being churned out while ASUU hunts for rats in a burning hut. If they as much as appreciate the national imperative of reforming our education system in a bottom-up approach, they will understand that the changes that Professor Oloyede is implementing in JAMB are in national interest. The mock examination, in case the lecturers’union has forgotten, is meant to build candidates’confidence ahead of the real deal – it was a system in place in the heydays before the current crop of jobbers messed up the tutelage process with intractable strikes that achieved nothing. We must as a nation free ourselves from the tyranny of vocal minorities like ASUU who raise dins each time they sense groundbreaking reform is afoot simply because they know such change would block the loopholes they exploit to game the system. Professor Oloyede must in the interest of the rest of us refuse to succumb to the blackmail of these charlatans that have made a career of holding the rest of us hostage. Agwu is a public affairs commentator and contributed this piece from Lagos. http://news360.info/2017/04/24/asuus-mindless-attacks-oloyede-led-jamb/ |

Brian Banks, a promising high school football player who had committed to play at Southern Cal, was an innocent man accused of rape. He remembers sitting at the defendant's table 13 years ago and not one person in the courtroom would look at him or talk to him or acknowledge him. "It was like I was not even in the room," he said Monday. "I felt like I wasn't a human being. I was a number." He naturally has been paying close attention to the rape case of Stanford swimmer Brock Turner, 20, who was convicted on three felony counts related to a 2015 sexual assault on an unconscious and intoxicated woman, who is now 23. Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Aaron Persky sentenced Turner on Friday to just six months in county jail — he could get it reduced to three months with good behavior. Banks, who works in the NFL's Los Angeles office, was 16 years old when he was accused of rape and tried as an adult. He was sent to juvenile hall for a year before his case came up. He faced 41 years to life in prison and first turned down plea deals for 25, 18 and nine years. Why? He didn't do it. He finally agreed to undergo 90 days of observation in Chico State Prison with assurances from his attorney that he would then get probation. It was a better option, he was told, than a young black kid facing an all-white jury. Instead, Banks received six years from the judge. "It was like he was ordering McDonald's at a drive-thru window," Banks said. "It was like he was ordering food and took off." Persky elected not to send Turner to state prison and came up way short on the maximum 14 years he could have handed down. He will have to register as a sex offender. "A prison sentence would have a severe impact on him," the judge said. "I think he will not be a danger to others." As if a prison sentence and living among hardened criminals twice his age didn't have a severe impact on Banks. "I would say it's a case of privilege," Banks said. "It seems like the judge based his decision on lifestyle. He's lived such a good life and has never experienced anything serious in his life that would prepare him for prison. He was sheltered so much he wouldn't be able to survive prison. What about the kid who has nothing, he struggles to eat, struggles to get a fair education? What about the kid who has no choice who he is born to and has drug-addicted parents or a non-parent household? Where is the consideration for them when they commit a crime?" It wasn't until 2012 when the Banks’ accuser recanted her story that he got his life back and was declared an innocent man. He wound up serving five years and two months in prison and five years of high custody parole. Turner didn't have a criminal history. He is white. Banks didn't have a criminal history, either, didn't even have a speeding ticket. He is black. He was making out on his high school campus in Long Beach, Calif., with a 15-year old girl during the summer of 2002 and by the end of the day, she accused him of rape. To this day, Banks doesn't know why. Turner's father, in what amounts to an insensitive admission of guilt for his son, wrote a letter to the judge that included, "These verdicts have broken him and shattered our family in so many ways. His life will never be the one he dreamed about and worked so hard to achieve. That is a steep price to pay for 20 minutes of action out of 20 plus years of life." He later said in a statement to the Huffington Post, "What I meant with that comment is a 20-minute period of time. I was not referring to sexual activity by the word 'action.' It was an unfortunate choice of words and I did not mean to be disrespectful or offensive to anyone." Banks was sent from prison to prison, but said the Los Angeles County jail was the worst. He was a big kid and well known in the area for his football ability, so he never was physically abused in prison, even though those charged with rape and sexual assualt are typically assaulted behind bars. Black inmates don't ask other black inmates why they are in prison, he said. Banks is "surprised" the courts found a way to consider Turner's background and that "he wouldn't know how to deal with career criminals." Nobody took that into consideration for Banks. He was just 16 and he was an innocent man. "You know a man is guilty, so why aren't we unleashing half of the punishment that was unleashed on Brian Banks when he was innocent and there was no evidence?" he said. "They gave me six years. They gave him six months." Banks feels the female victim in the Turner case "has been totally ignored. She has to live with her hardship and tragedy for the rest of her life." He has to live with 10 years being taken away from him, losing a college scholarship and a potential NFL career. In addition to working for the NFL, Banks has gone from client to board member of the California Innocence Project, which helped clear his name, and he gives inspirational speeches as a life-coach. "I wasn't physically raped, but I was raped in a sense of my freedom," he said. "I was kidnapped, taken against my will, placed in a box for five years and two months. I was denied all human rights. When I screamed and pleaded and begged, it fell on deaf ears. It's a different form of being assaulted and taken advantage of. I know what she is going through." But Brock Turner won't know what Brian Banks went through. He served hard time. Turner got off easy. False accusation of sexual assault In the summer of 2002, Banks was arrested and charged after classmate Wanetta Gibson falsely accused him of dragging her into a stairway at Polytechnic High School (Poly) and raping her. Faced with a possible 41 years to life sentence, he accepted a plea deal that included five years in prison, five years of probation, and registering as a sex offender. Wanetta Gibson and her mother Wanda Rhodes sued the Long Beach Unified School District , claiming the Poly campus was not a safe environment, and won a $1.5 million settlement. [18][19] In March 2011, Gibson contacted Banks on Facebook, met with him, and admitted that she had fabricated the story. Banks secretly recorded Gibson's confession, but she refused to tell prosecutors that she had lied so she wouldn't have to return the money she and her family had won in court. Nevertheless, with Gibson's taped admission and help from California Innocence Project attorneys, Los Angeles County prosecutors overturned Banks' conviction on May 24, 2012. [19] On April 12, 2013, the Long Beach Unified School District announced it was suing Wanetta Gibson for $2 million in an effort to recoup the $1.5 million she received, along with attorney's fees and punitive damages .[20] On June 14, 2013, the school district won a $2.6 million judgment against Gibson, which includes the $750,000 settlement initially paid to her along with attorney's fees, interest, and $1 million in punitive damages. [21] Banks now serves as a spokesperson for the California Innocence Project and is working on a documentary about his story. source: www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/wrongfully-convicted-brian-banks-disgusted-brock-turner-ruling-article-1.2663595 cc lalaticlala myd44 Seun tosnyetoomuch modath. smellymouth.

TEYA:story FYI the owner of the land owns the property on it. I am a witness to this |
One of the biggest taboos in the medical field is
that our life cannot last more than the lifespan
of our material body.
The spectre of Frankenstein's monster, since
1818 when Mary Shelley wrote the novel , has
been in medical science the deontological line
never to trespass. To cross that line would lead
to the consequences would be like the one
lived by the unfamous Johann Conrad Dippel.
But now almost 200 years since the novel was
written, and with the latest improvements
(especially in the last 10 years, with news of
the 100% artifical 3D printed heart and
potential future trasplant of the living brain) the
question of whether are life will last longer than
our human body is re-emerging. Last year the Italian brain surgeon Sergio Canavero was able to successfully transpant a monkey brain from one body to an another, and on the 26th of April of this year he has confirmed that will make the first brain transplant on Mr. Spiridonov, a Russian man who suffers from Werdnig-Hoffman disease. If this operation is successful will we be (soon or later) immortal? And if yes, how will it affect our life as we used to know it until today? Of course only the future will tell us if what Canavero is going to do will be right or wrong, but as long as we know at today the brain is one of the few parts of the human body that can not be trasplanted or replicated - (the pancreas is another one, for which Steve Jobs died because of) and it is 'legally' the real essential part of the 'personal' jurisdicial, as a non replicable part (not as a robot hand). It is, in a few words, what in religious terms we would call the 'soul'. 1970s Japanese anime ShinzÅ Ningen KyashÄn had characters continuing to live after their physical bodies were destroyed Alcor, a US company that 50 years ago forsaw this field, has been the first company to invest in the idea that a “second life" will be possible. And that is because the idea that one day anybody could be able to continue to live, theoretically, forever in a new body is massive. Psychological, deontologically and socially it is a barrier so big that if it fell it would be as big as '89's Berlin Wall. And, right or wrong, Canavero's trasplant could be the turning point, the first step in that direction. Of course it would be just a first step, but as Neil Armstrong used to say about his first walk on the moon: "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind." Also, this would no-doubt give a boost to the robot industry, with the the 'storage' of our brains in machines as seen in movies like Ghost in the Shell, or in videogames such as Natural Ultimate Digital Experiment on Xbox. The intersting thing is that this movement was forseen too in the 1970s in many Japanese animes like Go Nagai's 'Kotetsu Jeeg' or Tatsunoko's 'Casshern' , where the fathers or mothers of the main characters fallen in battle keep living inside computer machines. Japan, to this day, believes strongly in this field, and last week Prime Minister ShinzÅ Abe reserved a huge sum of money for new investments in this field. Indeed, in the past alone we have already seen the HAL (Hybrid Assistive Limb) createded by Cyberdyne's Prof. Sankai shown off (with Intel's funds also), who invented a first neuro-nerve prototype robot which can read our mental signals (outputs) through our nerves to move our body and muscles. So something believed impossible until yesterday (the ability to live in an another body) may soon become possible, and create a different 'concept' of life as we perceive today, as all circumstances that regulate and surroud us in our every day life could change. Life expectancy is the 19th century was 40 years old. In less than two centuries, thanks to the medical advancement, the human kind has experienced a growth in terms of longevity and better living standards. Now we have a life expectancy of almost double that figure (approx 70 years for men, and 80 for women). This lengthening of our potential lives is interesting as the societies we now live in are all geared around humans living 70-80 years. For example, banks dictate loans and mortgages to a degree based on guessed lifespan. Governments too plan taxes and retirement ages also based on when they expect you to die and nation and inter-nation policies are also often crafted based on average human lifespan. If this lifespan was to suddenly dramatically increase, massive reforms would need to take place to take them into account, while the entire structure and model of society would have to be altered. So the question is not just if a life after life is possible, but also how all these big advancements in the medical field may or will revolutionate our every day life and the structure of society. In the end, are we near a new medical revolution as happened with Alexander Fleming's penicillin ? Time will tell, but one thing is for sure, what we have seen in Star Trek: The Next Generation (ambassadors living 200 years) may be in the near future actually possible. www.t3.com/news/made-in-japan-special-edition-r360-the-new-arcade-frontier lalasticlala. mynd44. let people know what's going on in medical field. |

Nigerian email scammer stung by his own malware The rise in 'wire-wire' scams has led the FBI to issue a warning. With more and more internet users now wise to email scams, scammers are utilizing increasingly advanced techniques to stay one step ahead of their targets. A pair of researchers recently stumbled on a new a "wire-wire" technique that earned a 30-strong group of Nigerian scammers as much as $3 million a year, at least until one prominent member accidentally infected himself with his own malware. IEEE Spectrum reports that SecureWorks security experts Joe Stewart and James Bettke were alerted to this new kind of attack in February after they stumbled upon a keylogger that was sending unsecured data to an open web server. They watched for months as the ring collected keystrokes and screenshots of important documents from unsuspecting users. But because the malware was running on the scammers' computers too, it also gave them an important insight into who was behind the thefts, the tools that were used, the names of the affected businesses and the sums of money being transferred to third-party accounts. Unlike traditional email scams, which rely on spoofing a business email to trick respondents into sending money to a fraudulent account, wire-wire scammers grab a collection of email addresses from publicly available sources and then target them with malware. Once that target is infected, they are able to access to their email account(s) and begin identifying clients or suppliers that they have a relationship with. The ring is then able to intercept any emails containing invoices, substitute the target's details with their own and force the supplier to unwittingly credit the scammers' account. The technique is a lot harder to trace because it happens behind closed doors, but there's been enough of a rise in business email scams that the FBI has been forced to issue a warning. Since February, the Secureworks team watched the scammers reroute transactions averaging between $30,000 and $60,000, mostly from small and medium-sized businesses that mainly conduct international deals. IEEE notes that in one case, thieves successfully rerouted a $400,000 payment from a US chemical company to its Indian supplier. Often, neither company knows something is amiss until a delivery or payment is marked overdue. Stewart and Bettke even tried to tell some of the targets that they were being scammed but were mistaken for scammers themselves. That said, they were able to successfully notify Nigeria's Economic Financial Crimes Commission, which is now conducting at least one active https://www.engadget.com/2016/08/08/nigerian-email-scammer-malware/ |

Traffic around the Stade de France is expected to be high tonight after union bosses extended their industrial action into a 10th day Rail bosses have urged fans travelling to the Stade de France for the Euro 2016 opener between France and Romania tonight to arrive as early as possible due to a massive strike affecting trains in the area. The SNCF strike has entered its 10th day after union bosses renewed action on Thursday. RER B and RER D lines – operated by SNCF - serve the Stade de France and the industrial action is set to disrupt supporters on the first day of the European Championships. Up to 80,000 fans will descend on the northern Paris venue while another 50,000 “every day” users of the trains will also be attempting to make their way home on the affected lines. SNCF has pledged that one train every six minutes will run towards the Stade de France on the RER B line from Gare du Nord, while one train will run every 10 minutes on the RER D line. Shuttle services will be provided from three hours before kick-off until three hours after the game. Meanwhile Air France pilots will start a four-day strike on Saturday June 11 after union bosses turned down a deal on Thursday. Unions expect 70 to 80 per cent of medium and long haul flights to take to the skies on Saturday but massive disruption is expected. Workers at Paris’s biggest waste treatment centre at Ivry-sur-Seine remain on what is now a 12- day strike meaning garbage around the French capital is not being picked up. Private waste disposal operators who operate in 10 of Paris’s 20 districts have been asked to do more to help. That industrial action is expected to last until June 14. There is also an 18-day strike in place at the Le Havre oil refineries – which take 40 per cent of France’s crude imports and serve Paris’s airports – but the government has guaranteed a minimum service since the end of May. source m.goal.com/x/en-gb/news/7134/euro-2016/2016/06/10/24474312/rail-strikes-to-cause-massive-disruption-ahead-of-euro-2016 |
