CALEB UNIVERSITY [quote author=. post=29314817] Caleb University is a private university located in Imota Lagos Nigeria. The systematic history of Caleb University dates back to 1986 when Prince Oladega Adebogun planted the initial seed for a nursery and primary school in the heart of Mainland Lagos. The seemingly intractable falling standard in public sector education and the demand amongst most parents for schools with high academic standards, as well as the inculcation of Christian values served as the necessary impetus for the creation of Caleb Nursery and Primary School. The high academic attainment within the school, coupled with the exemplary moral behaviour of the students increased demand for places in the school. Parents also began to yearn for a secondary institution that emphasizes the same objectives, ambitions, values and teaching methods. This, logically, paved the way for the establishment of Caleb International College in Magodo GRA, Lagos, in 1995. The college served as a natural transition path for many pupils who have attended Caleb Primary School. Within a few years of establishment, the performances of the college students at the Junior and Senior Secondary School Certificate examinations (JSCE/SSCE) quickly established Caleb amongst the ranks of high flying secondary schools in the Country. The college expanded its extra-curricular programme, expanded its music band, and included overseas study tours for its students from 1999. In 1999, application for places at the College reached unprecedented level, with full applications to every available place. Such positive interest agitated the need for a bigger location. Caleb International College continued the rich tradition of moral and academic excellence and sometime in 2003, a branch of the College was established in Lekki to cater for parents residing in the Ikoyi, Victoria Island and Lekki axis of Lagos. To maintain its position as a prime provider of qualitative education and respond to the industrial demands for staff of true international calibre, the establishment initiated the necessary process for the introduction of a Cambridge O level programme and International General Certificate of Education (IGCSE) in 2004. Caleb's position as an international organization was truly recognized in 2004 when it was admitted as a full member of the International School's Association (ISA). Prince Adebogun also felt deeply inspired to establish a university that will do for tertiary education, what Caleb has creditably done for primary and secondary education and in response to the invitation of the Federal Government of Nigeria through Act no. 9 of 1993 to allow Private Corporate bodies or individual Nigerian Citizens to establish and run Universities, subject to meeting approved guidelines such as having an approved Academic Brief, Master plan, University Law and proven ability to finance such a project. By 2005 much progress had been recorded with the production of the Draft Academic brief, Draft University Law and purchase of over 100 acres of land in Imota, Lagos State. By November of the same year, the first NUC- SCOPU verification visit took place while the final NUC-SCOPU verification was held in May, 2006. To the Glory of God, on May 17, 2007. The Federal Government of Nigeria granted probational operational License for Caleb University to operate as a private University. The University started full academic program with admission of its first set of students, a total of 83 male and 58 female students on Monday, January 7, 2008. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caleb_University [/quote]

THE ONLY NIGERIAN TO HAVE PRODUCED THIS LAUDABLE MATHEMATICAL SETS BEING USED BY WAEC IN WEST AFRICA... Without contradictions, Nigeria is adjudged as the giant of Africa considering her vast demography and massive population. Despite these known endowments, the country does not have a globally recognized product to its name. However, turning the tide for good, Mr. Babatope Agbeyo, CEO of Cornfield Transnational Limited, a parent company to Media Concept International and Botosoft Technologies recorded a major milestone through the development of intellectual patented property known as KAPTEK set of mathematical instruments with an in-built scientific calculator. KAPTEK set of mathematical instruments with an in-built scientific calculator The made-in-Nigeria product is certified to be of high quality that meets international standard with a patent number: WO 2015063586 A1 as published by google. The calculator is a non- programmable computer having in excess of 400 functions and is manufactured with examination and/or learning situations in mind. Such a computer, particularly one for use in examination conditions, will be silent with no audio or noisy keys, cordless in the sennse of not being dependent on a mains power supply, and including dry nonprogrammable batteries. The computer will preferably have no facility for a magnetic card input ‘or plug-in modules of program instruction. The product seamlessly has the capacity to help examination bodies like WAEC, NECO, JAMB etc, to curb malpractices. Moreover, the instrument case includes no calculator secured to or built into its lid. In this embodiment, the entire upper surface of the instrument case is transparent. The side walls and base of the instrument case is transparent. One main advantage of instrument cases in accordance with the invention is that they assist invigilators in preventing examinees from carrying into an examination unauthorised items which could provide unacceptable assistance to the examinee to answer examination questions. The transparent lid of such an instrument case will either discourage items being brought into an examination or make such items more apparent to invigilators. KAPTEK set of mathematical instruments with an in-built scientific calculator Besides, the transparent lid also has the advantage of enabling a student to recognise if an important item is missing from his or her instrument case. It is envisaged that instrument cases in accordance with the present invention containing only instruments relevant to the examination to be undertaken will be handed to examinees as they enter an examination venue, no other instruments not permitted can be brought to the respective examination by the examinees. This invention emphatically relates to a closable instrument case for retaining inter alia a calculator and various drawing and other mathematical instruments used particularly by students and more especially for use by students or candidates in examination conditions. It would be recalled that the West African Examination Council had once emphasized that it will inaugurate West African Senior School Certificate Examinations, “branded, non- programmable calculators and mathematical sets” for all its examinations. The initiative, the Council said, was to stop the increasing use of “programmable calculators” by candidates during examinations. However, Mr. Agbeyo’s innovation has the potential to help WAEC and other examination bodies and even Universities that conduct post UME tests to achieve their impervious or foolproof set objectives. http://www.newsghana.com.gh/babatope-agbeyo-and-his-original-mathematical-instruments/ |

plessis:QUESTIONS FOR IPOB When Ojukwu was here and he declared Biafra, he was a governor of the East, he had a territory he could control, he had provisional secretaries and all that under him but all these boys talking about IPOB or whatever, what do they have? They even tell you they have supporters but who are their supporters or are they keeping it secret? Let me tell you, let it not be like the support France gave to Biafra. France will never come out in the open to say we support Biafra, they never even recognized Biafra in the United Nations. So if you are not strong don’t dare anybody and even if you are strong, the best thing is to use your might and negotiate. There was a time Ojukwu could have negotiated and got something, he would have got a confederation. During that conference Ojukwu said Biafra was not negotiable and that is why the things fell apart. It was he who said no power in Black Africa can destroy Biafra and when the chips were down he was on his way to Ivory Coast, leaving us to die. So you can see! Let no body be taken for a sucker; that is what I am telling the youths. Where is the land, the terrain you will put your troops on? Where are the people you are going to lead out of Nigeria? Is it Ebonyi people who most of them don’t believe they are Igbo to start with? There is only one snag about it, if Abuja will stop this nonsense about unitary system of government. When Ironsi was in power he had decree no. 45 by which he made Nigeria unitary government not federal government and the north killed him because of the unitary but no sooner than Ironsi was out of the way, the same north under Gowon started practicing unitary system.

ificatchmodeh:Nigerians are quick to forget events so here is a recount of some of the famous crisis from 1999-2007 Alaba traders vs Opc, Oduade traders vs Opc, Ladipo traders vs Opc, Ijaw vs Opc, Police vs Opc, Mushin fracas, Ojo crisis, Okoko crisis, Mile 2 crisis, Mile 12 crisis, Yoruba vs Hausa Fulani. These events were recurrent at least every three month but the SWner's were always cut to size in their own fights, that's why they didn't sing about them like they did with the Ife vs Hausa Fulani crisis. They have been more ethnic related crisis in the SW than any other region in the federation. Are these what you called facts? ![]() Let us see newspaper clips of these your facts and the enormity of the fracas.Give us links. |

ificatchmodeh:I do not know why you Igbos are not so intelligent...I am sorry for this...but whenever we are having an argument,you people are the first to insult and then vrooooom...Yorubas will release just a little from their arsenal and you will begin to complain.We are all young people and passionate about our people or so I think.Just answer your self....have you ever thought why some indiscernible Igbos call Yorubas(who have fought wars both locally and internationally for 100 years,Yorubas who had not been defeated both locally and internationally,Yorubas who are the only people to have prevented the marauding Fulanis from running over the South defeating them but losing the town of Ilorin due to the help of Afonja who had no option but to save his own life then from the Alaafin of Oyo by aligning with the backstabbing Fulanis who later killed him,Yorubas who are the major winners in the civil war that was forced on them to fight between Igbos and Hausas,Yorubas who defeated battalions of Biafrans at Ore even Yorubas are the only ones in Nigeria who had defeated the Hausa/Fulanis time and time again in year 2000,2011 etc.Everything I have said here is on nairaland here)cowards? IT IS BECAUSE OF OUR 'LIVE AND LET LIVE' CULTURE AND ACCOMODATING MIEN WHICH MOST OF YOU ARE TRYING TO BREAK.We are slow to react but when we do.... You can live in the SW for donkey years and nothing untoward would happen to you unless you ask for it.Do your research properly,a Yoruba man seldoms start an attack on visitors and gets support from his fellow Yoruba people unless those visitors had repeatedly done the deed without abating.The little animosity you perceived from any Yoruba person or persons is due to your mouths and behaviours.We seem not to attack the Hausa/Fulani because in a sense,they are very intelligent not to be unruly with their mouths and behaviours.No matter what you think or say,everybody knows that the SWesterners are very accomodating and peace loving but very dangerous when pushed to the wall the way you have been doing.A tiger does not shout its tigritude.A word is enough for the wise |
ificatchmodeh:Only a dull people would be learning how to wear clothes so late into the century and even the white people know that the west side,the best side is the most accomodating reason Ogun state only attracts 75% FDI into Nigeria and SW attracts Igbos like honey attracts flies ![]() |
