Good day Bro.
if you have been following recent posts on the thread, we have discussed about how UI postume system is being run.

Bottom line-
You need a minimum of 200 to write the postume, irrespective of the course youre applying for.

its only your postume score that determines if you will get admission.

Your O'level -just make normal credit requirement.
Bro, please my sister, had 201 in jamb, and when we did the final point cut off mark, she had 54.35 and she chose linguistic, based on last year's cut off mark, she didn't meet the cut off mark.
Please just teach us how to add the cut off mark now that post utme is included

Ajet001:
University of ibadan admission last year was rigorous.
The point grading system was adopted where o'level was 50 and UTME 50

*O'lEVEL
A1-6points
B2-5points
B3-4points
C4-3points
C5-2points
C6-1point
Students o'level grades in the five relevants subjects were added together divided by 30 and then multiply by 50 I.e x/30 *50 =50

UTME
Jamb score was divided by 8
I.e y/8 =50
So your weighted score =50+50=100

Hope this is helpful..!!
Please what of now, that we're gonna do post utme?

Romance / Re: Reasons Some Men Want Submissive Ladies by Singingbae(m): 2:43pm On Oct 01, 2016
Miladi:
@OP, submission is different from servitude. There's no evil in a man expecting an earned submission from his wife. A sane and virtuous woman can never denies his altruistic man his well deserved submission. It takes a responsible man to be altruistic.

Ignorance of law excuses no one. All you wrote up there are balderdash (no insult intended towards your person). Your choice of subject word is what made it a balderdash. There's nothing wrong with anyone be it man or woman, but more importantly a man, expecting submission from his wife. The only problem is when a man fails to differentiate submission from servitude, just as you have done here.

Petty men are different from real/altruistic men. Now to the points you raised, I concur. But those attributes are the hallmarks of petty men; they are egomaniacal, predacious and domineering. They have inferiority complex, thus they demands and expects servitude from their women instead of exhibiting strong characters that would earn them their wives submission/respect. They are dictatorial and abhors reason, and denies their women right to exercise their freewill. Even in a circumstance of a decision that would spell doom for them, they had rather live up to a stupid idea just for ego sake, rather than to accept a superior fact from their women.

They are not proponents and practitioners of primus inter pares, rather they are for master-slavery relationship. Also, they don't believe in reciprocation; they expects their women to swallow any form of abuses they meted against them and top it up by worshipping them too. They do no evil.

Submission is good and absolutely mandatory to achieve and sustain a healthy and happy union. But of course, it can't exist on its own; altruism from the man (who's the natural head of the family) must come into been first, before submission from a wife would be expected - organism cannot exist without a membrane.

Sports / Rio: Kenyan Coach, John Anzrah Sent Home After Posing As Athlete by Singingbae(m): 8:49am On Aug 12, 2016


Kenya coach John Anzrah was allegedly carrying 800m runner Ferguson Rotich's (above) accreditation
A Kenyan athletics coach has been sent home from Rio after posing as an athlete and giving a urine sample.

Kenya said sprint coach John Anzrah "presented himself" as 800m medal hope Ferguson Rotich and "even signed the documents" for the doping test.

"We cannot tolerate such behaviour," said Kip Keino, chairman of the National Olympic Committee of Kenya.

Rotich, who finished fourth at last year's World Championships in Beijing, is set to race in the heats on Friday.

The athlete's agent, Marc Corstjens, said Rotich lent Anzrah his pass so the coach could get a free breakfast in the Olympic Village on Wednesday.

Anzrah, 61, was then allegedly approached by a doping control officer who was looking for Rotich and asked to provide a urine sample, which the coach did.

"Ferguson is completely confused as to why he would do this but the good news is that he found out straight away and went to the drug-tester and gave them blood and urine samples," said Corstjens.

The International Olympic Committee has opened disciplinary proceedings into the matter, but praised Kenya's Olympic body for its "swift action".

Chairman Keino said the committee had not facilitated Anzrah's travel to Brazil, adding: "We don't even know how he came here."

Anzrah is the second Kenyan official to be sent home over doping issues after track and field manager Michael Rotich.

He was dismissed following allegations that he was prepared to warn coaches about drugs tests in return for £10,000.

Politics / Re: How Nigerian Army Violated Own Rules, Sacked Officers For Not Helping APC by Singingbae(m): 8:30am On Aug 12, 2016
Impunity everywhere
Politics / How Nigerian Army Violated Own Rules, Sacked Officers For Not Helping APC by Singingbae(m): 8:29am On Aug 12, 2016
Majority of the 38 officers compulsorily retired by the Nigerian Army
two months ago were sent away without recourse to the rules of
disengagement in the Nigerian military,” PREMIUM TIMES can
authoritatively report today.
The army had in June announced the compulsory retirement of 38 officers
on different ranks on the grounds of alleged professional misconduct
during the 2015 general elections, as well as involvement in the $2.1
billion arms procurement scandal.
The affected officers include Major-Generals F. O. Alli, E.J. Atewe, I. N.
Ijoma, L. C. Ilo, TC Ude, Letam Wiwa, SD Aliyu, M.Y Ibrahim, LC Ilo
and O. Ejemai.
Others were Brigadier-Generals D. M. Onoyeiveta, A. S. O. Mormoni
Bashir, A.S.H Sa’ad, A. I. Onibasa, D. Abdusalam, L.M. Bello, KA Essien,
B. A. Fiboinumama and I. M. Lawson.
Also affected were Cols. M.A. Suleiman, I. O. Ahhachi, P. E. Ekpenyong,
T. T. Minimah, O. U. Nwonkwo, and F. D. Kayode, Lt-Cols C. O. Amadi,
K. O. Adimogha, T. E. Arigbe, O. A. Baba Ochankpa, D. B. Dazang, O. C.
Egemole, Enemchukwu, A. Mohammed, A. S. Mohammed, G. C. Nyekwu,
T. O. Oladintoye, C. K. Ukoha and Major A. T. Williams.
In the June 9 letters, seen by PREMIUM TIMES, to the affected officers,
their compulsory retirement was hinged on “provisions of Paragraph
09.02c (4) of the Harmonised Terms and Conditions of Service for
Officers 2012 (Revised)”.
The referenced section – 09.02c (4) – of the Harmonised Terms and
Conditions of Service for Officers 2012 (Revised), shows the officers
were laid off “on disciplinary grounds i.e. serious offence(s)”.
Emphasizing “service exigencies” and that the “military must remain
apolitical and professional at all times”, Army spokesperson, Sani Usman,
a colonel,on June 10, released a statement, disclosing what could have
constituted the “serious offences” which warranted the 38 officers to be
compulsorily retired.
“It should be recalled that not too long ago some officers were
investigated for being partisan during the 2015 general elections,” the
statement said.
“Similarly, the investigation by the Presidential Committee investigating
Defence Contracts revealed a lot. Some officers have already been
arraigned in court by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC),” Colonel Usman said.
Although, some of the officers, who were shocked by their sudden
retirement, had alleged ethnic cleansing, the Chief of Army Staff, Tukur
Buratai, said the army embarked upon the exercise to remove those “who
in one way or the other jeopardized the fight against insurgency and other
issues bordering on national security.”
He also said that there was no better time to send the officers away than
the time they were retired.
But PREMIUM TIMES investigations revealed that the Army breached its
own rule by retiring most of the officers without query or indictment by
any panel, thereby raising question of arbitrariness.
However, contrary to the claim by the Army, our investigations showed
that only a few of the affected officers were queried, tried and indicted.
Others had their careers abruptly cut short for reasons that smacks of
high-level arbitrariness, pettiness, witch-hunting and partisanship by
authorities of the Army.
While officers cleared by either arms procurement panel or election panel
were retired, others who were not questioned at all were also sent away.
Our findings revealed that nine officers, holding the rank of Major
General, 11 Brigadier Generals, seven Colonels and 11 Lieutenant
Colonels, amounting to 38 officers in sum, were laid off.
Highly placed sources in the Army told PREMIUM TIMES that out of the
Major Generals, only one – E.D. Atewe (N/7674) faced a panel and was
indicted. Mr. Atewe was indicted by the presidential arms probe panel,
and he is currently being prosecuted by the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission.
Although S.D. Aliyu (N/7711); M.Y. Aliyu (N/8114) GOC 7 Division;
Fatai Alli, (N/7914) a former Director of Operations in the Army, also
faced presidential arms panel but they were cleared. Yet they were laid off
for “serious offence”, our investigations revealed.
Other five Major Generals – L. Wiwa (N/7665), who is late Ken Saro-
Wiwa’s brother; I.N. Ijeoma (N/8304); T.C Ude (N/7866); L.C. Ilo
(N/8320); O. Ejemau (N/8340) were neither queried nor indicted by any
panel.
On June 9, they received letters via emails, directing them to proceed on
compulsory retirement.
Brigadier Generals had to go because of their loyalties
The cases of the affected Brigadier Generals are not different; only one of
them – A.I Onibasa (N/9072) was indicted by the presidential panel on
arms procurement.
Sources told PREMIUM TIMES that the remaining 10 officers were
simply retirement because they were suspected to be have failed to help
this regime to power.
For instance, two officers were laid off because of their ties to the
embattled former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, our sources
said.
The two officers – A.S.H. Sa’ad (N/8392), who was at the Directorate of
Military Intelligence; and Mormoni Bashir (N/8396), former principal
staff officer to Mr. Dasuki – were retired without indictment. Although,
Mr. Sa’ad faced a panel, he was not found to have engaged in any
wrongdoing.
For his alleged close ties to a former Army Chief, Kenneth Minimah, D.
Abdulsalam (N/9169) was sent away.
Koko Essien (N/8794), a former Brigade Commander, 2 Brigade, Port
Harcourt, faced the election panel but was cleared. Mr. Essien was laid off
nonetheless, like Bright Fibioinumana (N/8399); L.N. Bello (N/8799),
former Brigade Commander, 34 Brigade Owerri; and M.G. Alli
Moundhey, former Director, Campaign Planning in the North East
Operations, who were even not queried in the first place.
Although, the Nigerian Army said the affected officers were retired for
either involvement in the 2015 general elections or arms procurement
fraud, our investigations showed that officers who were not in Nigeria at
the time of the elections were also sacked.
That was the case of I.B. Lawson (N/8812) and G.O. Agachi (N/9363) who
were Defence Attaches at Nigeria’s missions in China and Benin Republic
respectively.
According to a document seen by this newspaper, they retired for
allegedly committing “serious offence”.
But they were never informed of their offences nor were they invited to
face any panel of inquiry, army insiders say.
“They aided PDP to get votes”
Many Colonels and Lieutenant Colonels who were laid off on June 9 were
merely suspected of failing to cooperate with the All Progressives
Congress to garner votes in the 2015 elections, sources told PREMIUM
TIMES.
In one instance, T.A Williams (N/11469) a Major; and A. Mohammed
(N/10659), a Lieutenant Colonel, both attached to the 195 Battalion,
Agenebode, Edo State, with the latter as Commanding Officer, were said
to have been flushed out because of complaint of not cooperating with the
APC, brought against them. But Mr. Mohammed was said to be away in
the North-East at the time and played no role during the election. Yet he
was retired.
Similarly, in Rivers State, Army insiders said, APC officials accused four
officers attached to the 332 Air Defence Regiment (B. Odiankpa –
N/10417) and ; 5 Battalion, Elele (A.S. Mohammed -N10662); 2 Brigade
Garrison, Port Harcourt (A.Adimoha – N/10421); 29 Battalion Port
Harcourt (T.O. Oladuntoye (N/10338) of aiding the PDP in the state.
Our findings revealed that these officers, accused of partisanship, were not
queried or investigated before they were asked to forced to leave the army.
In one curious case, documents seen by this newspaper revealed that Lt.
Col A. Mohammed was in the North East, not Agenebode, but somehow
his name was among those listed for alleged partisanship.
The former Commanding Officer, 93 Battalion, Takum, O.C. Egemole
(N/10423), who was also compulsorily retired, was also accused of “not
doing enough” to avert APC loss in Taraba State. He was also neither
queried nor investigated.
Seven colonels on the list of the compulsory retirees had no formal charge
issued to them nor did they face panel before they were laid off.
For instance O.U. Nwankwo (N/9678) was studying at the University of
Ibadan while M.A. Suleiman (N/10030) was in Chad as Defence Attaché
before they were suddenly retired.
Then, C.K. Ukoha (N/10319) was in Abuja during the elections, insiders
told us, but was accused of taking part in electoral fraud in Benin and was
retired.
Also, without probe or indictment for any offence, T. Minimah (N/10185),
brother to former Army Chief, Kenneth Minimah, was also removed from
his post in Benin and retired.
Did the retirements follow due process?
PREMIUM TIMES checks indicated the army violated its own rules in the
ways the officers were disengaged.
The Harmonized Terms and Conditions of Service for Officers whose
paragraph 09.02c (4) was relied upon to remove the officers, originates
from the Armed Forces Act.
The section cited by the Army provides that an officer may be
compulsorily retired “on disciplinary grounds i.e. serious offence(s)”
without defining what constitutes “serious offences”.
But the principal law – the Armed Forces Act – establishes all actions that
constitute offences in the Military.
The Act prescribes steps to be taken in punishing offences, and a review
shows no section empowers the Army Council to arbitrarily punish or
compulsorily retire officers for any offence.
In fact, the Army Council, in Section 11(a-f) of the Act, has no power to
retire any officer on disciplinary ground without compliance with the
steps prescribed by law.
“Army did no wrong; affected officers can seek redress”
The spokesperson for the Army, Sani Usman, a Colonel, however insisted
the officers were properly retired.
“Those that were compulsorily retired had one problem or the other that
warranted their compulsory retirement from the Army,” Mr. Usman told
PREMIUM TIMES.
“Basically that’s it. And whoever is not satisfied with that should please
seek redress. They are quite familiar with the terms and conditions of
service.
“None of them was arbitrarily retired and they know. Army can’t just
retire you without any offence or because the Chief of Army Staff does
not like your face.
“It is not for them to go to newspaper. They were advised to write the
Commander-in-Chief through the Chief of Defence Staff to seek redress.
Their records are there and they will be given cogent reason why they
were asked to retire compulsorily.”
Mr. Usman was evasive when asked whether all the affected officers were
queried or formally indicted before they were forced out of service.

Politics / The Niger Delta Crusaders, And The United States Of Nigeria (part 1)-ffk by Singingbae(m): 12:13am On Aug 09, 2016
5th AUGUST, 2016.
It is no longer news that the new leader of Boko Haram, Mr.
Abu Musa Al Barnawi, who apparantly has the backing of
ISIS, has said that he will target only Christians and burn
down all the Churches in the country.
He has also said that Muslims and mosques will no longer
be targetted and that Mr. Abubakar Shekau, the erstwhile
leader and principal voice of the terror group, is no longer
the leader.
Mr. Shekau has responded by saying that he will continue to
slaughter whoever he pleases and that he remains the
authentic leader. There appears to be a very serious rift in
the ranks of Boko Haram which is good news.
As far as I am concerned the two factions can do us all a
favour by destroying one another and burning in hell.
Anyone that targets Christians and Churches, or indeed any
innocent civilians for slaughter, is not worthy of life. They
are nothing but vermin and, like the cockroaches that they
are, they must be crushed.
Mr. Shekau is evil but Mr. Al Barnawi is even worse: he is the
devil incarnate. He represents ISIS and we all know what that
means.
Whichever way we look at it and whatever is going on within
the ranks of Boko Haram we must not loose sight of the
bigger picture. And that bigger picture points to one thing:
Nigeria is in a mess.
Quite apart from the poverty and hardship that has afflicted
the land coupled with the total destruction of the economy
and quite apart from the shattering of peoples dreams and
the drastic reduction in their standard of living by the
ineffectual and barren fiscal and economic policies of an
inept and incompetent government, our President did not
stop there.
He also went as far as to appoint as his Minister of Sports a
man who is clearly (to use Donald Trump's words about
Hilary Clinton) "unbalanced and unhinged".
This is a man that can barely speak english and who, during
the week of the Olympics, publicly referred to our country as
"the United States Of Nigeria" whilst reprimanding our
Olympic football team for getting stuck in America and
arriving late in Brazil.
Someone should tell Honorable Minister Solomon Dalung
that it was HIS job to get our boys to Rio De Janeiro on time
and that it was something of a scandal and a national
embarrasment that it took the last minute intervention and
assistance of Delta Air, a private American airline, to get
them there in time for their match with Japan.
Whilst our boys did us proud by going on to defeat Japan
and later Sweden, the video of the Minister disparaging
them and spouting nonsense about some fictitious and
imaginary country called 'the United States of Nigeria' whilst
wearing his ridiculous red beret went viral on the internet. A
fool goes by no other name.
In normal climes the Minister would have been forced to
resign the following day and he would have been compelled
to apologise to the nation that he is purportedly serving for
forgetting its name. Sadly though there is nothing that is
"normal" about Nigeria or the Buhari administration.
Equally abysmal was the recent outing of Governor
Babatunde Raji Fashola, President Buhari's "super Minister"
of Power, Works and Housing, on BBC TV's Hardtalk.
Before millions of viewers from all over the world, the
Minister told his host Mr. Stephen Sackhur a shameless and
pernicious lie by claiming that he never promised Nigerians
an increase in power generation and supply.
It is his inability to be forthright, to appreciate the virtues of
telling the truth and to keep his election promises that has
earned my aburo Tunde Fashola the nickname of Minister of
Darkness.
Since he was appointed 'super Minister' the power
generation in our country has dropped from 5000
megawatts at the time when President Jonathan left office
just over a year ago to under 2000 megawatts today. Worst
still he has not managed to construct or complete the
refurbishment of a single road.
Yet it is not the crippled economy, the erring and dim-witted
Minister of Sports, the intellectually dishonest and lying
Minister of Power, Works and Housing or any of the other
numerous foibles of the Buhari administration that gives us
the most concern today.
It is rather the gradual and systematic generation and
invocation of a frightful and cataclysmic atmosphere of war
and the looming threat and increasing likelihood of a great
and violent ethnic and religious conflict, the likes of which
Africa has never seen before.
If it is not Boko Haram that is slaughtering our people it is
the Fulani herdsmen. Worse still they are doing these
despicable things with the active connivance and support of
a few people that are in the corridors of power today whose
objective is to islamise our nation, plunge us into a fiery
abyss and create chaos.
The bible says 'there is no fellowship between light and
darkness'. We have said it before and we will say it again: we
must restructure Nigeria before it is too late. If we fail to do
so we will have no choice but to reconsider our so-called
unity.
If things don't change quickly we must consider the
possibility of dividing our country and renegotiating our
union.
We cannnot afford to wait any longer because we are
playing with fire and we are sitting on a keg of gunpowder.
We must attempt to do whatever needs to be done
peacefully and we must not allow the butchers and those
that kill in the name of their god to provoke us into another
civil war.
Nothing represents the danger of the war that is looming
more than the response of the Niger Delta Revolutionary
Crusaders (an affliate of the Niger Delta Avengers) to Al
Barnawi's threat.
They responded by saying that if Christians and Churches
are targetted by Boko Haram they will kill all the Muslims in
the Niger Delta area and they will burn down all the
mosques. It is a simple case of "action" and "reaction" and I
sincerely hope that those that are use to killing others and
not being killed themselves take them seriously.
Clearly we are living in dangerous times and I sincerely hope
that those that brought religion into our politics in 2015 and
that used Islam and the Boko Haram offensive as a political
tool against a southern Christian President are seeing the
fruits of their labour.
When you invoke the proverbial genie and let it out of the
kettle you must be prepared to live with the consequences
and whatever follows.
Yet the folly does not stop there. As if our sensibilities were
not already sufficiently provoked President Buhari took the
religious dance to yet another level last week by directing
the Central Bank of Nigeria to sell foreign exchange to
Muslim pilgrims that were on their way to Saudi Arabia for
hajj at 197 naira to 1 USD.
This whilst everyone else, including students, manufacturers,
businessmen, Christian pilgrims, the ailing and holiday-
makers, must continue to buy at 400 naira to 1 USD. When
the math is done this amounts to a whooping N7.9 billion
naira concession for Muslim pilgrims.
And all this in a country that is not only impoverished and
whose people are suffering from the worst economic
hardship and poverty crunch since independence but also
one that is meant to be a secular state.
Such is the national outrage that President Buhari's forex
concession to his Muslim brothers and sisters has provoked
that a well-known political commentator and activist Mr.
Paul Achalla wrote the following on his Facebook wall on
August 5th:
"N410 to $1 for business, education, entrepreneurship, food
processing, manufacturing, etc. and N197 to $1 for pilgrims
going to Saudi Arabia? Bluntly put, Boko Haram ideology
won Nigeria's 2015 general election!!!"
Paul Achalla is right. How can this sort of nonsense be
justified in a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, multi-religious
secular state? Is Buhari's Nigeria crafted only for the Muslim
north? Is Saudi Arabia now the spiritual headquarters of our
nation?
If it is not the Sultan of Sokoto declaring public holidays, it is
the President giving subsidised rates of foreign exchange
and preferential treatment to members of his own religious
faith.
If it is not that he is leading our country into a sinister and
dangerous military coalition of Sunni Muslim nations it is
that he is holding conferences in Abuja with foreign Muslim
clerics whose stated objective is to "spread sharia
throughout Nigeria" and islamise our country.
Worst still virtually all his Service Chiefs and principal
commanders in his Armed Forces together with his National
Security Advisor, his Minister of Defence, his Minister of
Internal Affairs, his Inspector General of Police, his Chief of
Defence Intelligence, his Director General of State Security,
his Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, his Commander of the National Civil Defence
Corps, his Comptroller General of Customs, his Comptroller
General of Immigration, his Comptroller General of Prisons
and ALL his other security, para-security and intelligence
