Executive Secretary of National Universities Commission ( NUC ), Prof. Adamu Abubakar Abdulrasheed on Monday said that reports showing ratings of universities in Nigeria by NUC are fake.
Abdulrasheed said that NUC had not conducted no such exercise for many years now .
The NUC boss stated this while fielding questions from journalists after 2018 budget defence session with the senate committee on Tertiary Education and TETFUND .
He said that NUC has just constituted a high powered committee headed by the erstwhile Executive Secretary, Professor Peter Okebukola to advise the Commission on the ranking of Nigeria universities.
He noted that a group of people would use social media to publish fake ‘ranking of Nigerian Universities.
He said, “The NUC has constituted a high powered committee to reposition Nigerian Universities.’
“They include prominent academics to help produce good, quality post graduate studies.”
“The Committee which is chaired by former Executive Secretary, Professor Peter Okebukola will help to review our curriculum for Nigeria Universities.’
“NUC has not ranked any University for several years. The Committee will advise us on ranking of Universities because we have not done that for several years”, he explained .
He added that the NUC has drafted a document that will reduce academic period for PhDs to a minimum of three years.
He also disclosed that Universities in Nigeria were being positioned to ensure that PhD holders would be retained after graduation, saying, other African Universities have expressed their readiness to cooperate with Nigeria.

I know most of us are likely to have one or two things that turn us off when we see a lady.

For me, I am not perfect and am not saying all ladies should be perfect, one of my turn off is a lady that looks/ behave like a man. It's a great turn off for me.

Secondly, extremely flat chest is also a big turn off.

Thirdly, I also dislike the opposite of flat chest which is excessive boobs, I mean over sabi boobs walahi na turn off oo. Am sure you guys have one or two to say.

Oya let us know

If the certificate is issued by a recognized institution such as a Nigerian university, it should work for you. Some, (if not most) professions require you to attest your certificate by UAE Consulate in Nigeria to be accepted here in Dubai for Visa application. A potential emplyet may not require this but the visa application is likely to need attestation. Its better to get certificates attested before you travel to Dubai or use one of thw several companies in Dubai that specialises in certificate attestation.

US: Muslims to become second-largest religious group
aljazeera.com Jan 4, 2018 4:13 PM
About 3.45 million Muslims were living in the US in 2017, representing 1.1 percent of the population [Julie Jacobson/AP]
About 3.45 million Muslims were living in the US in 2017, representing 1.1 percent of the population [Julie Jacobson/AP]
Muslims are expected to become the second-largest religious group in the United States after Christians by 2040, according to a new report.

There were 3.45 millions Muslims living in the US in 2017 representing about 1.1 percent of the total population, a study by Pew Research Center found.

At present, the number of Jewish people outnumber Muslims as the second-largest religious group but that is expected to change by 2040 because "the US Muslim population will grow much faster than the country's Jewish population", the report said.


American Muslims will total 8.1 million, or 2.1 percent, of the population by 2050.

The number of followers of Islam in the US has grown at a rate of about 100,000 per year because of the migration of Muslims and higher fertility rates among Muslim Americans, Pew Center found during its demographic and survey research.

"Since our first estimate [2007] of the size of the Muslim American population, the number of US Muslims has been growing rapidly," it said.

Christianity is by far the largest religion in the United States with different denominations representing about 71 percent of the population.

The universities are necessary, but they should be made to satisfy certain criteria
With the recent approval by the Federal Executive Council of six additional private universities, several pertinent questions have come up. The questions speak to the concerns of critical stakeholders as a result of the proliferation of these institutions of higher learning in our country and they include: What are the standards? Who is accrediting the courses? What are the minimum infrastructure requirements? Is there a national minimum standard for university education?
Ordinarily, the increase in the numbers of universities need not be a matter for alarm if other questions are posed and answered satisfactorily, namely: Are there adequate and equal numbers of high quality technical colleges? Are there competitive ‘community colleges’ supported by, and relevant to, needs of local authorities for training locally required personnel? Are local communities involved in monitoring the quality of the culture of learning, quality of favourably remunerated teaching and administrative staff? Are local primary and secondary schools endowed with high quality staff, infrastructure, teaching material and innovative teachers?
There are many more questions to pose but the main worry stems from the fact that the sheer incompetence in tackling the problems in the existing public universities is being waived by this reckless recourse to all manner of ramshackle private universities with the attendant lowering of standards. Lecturers who can’t hold their own as senior lecturers in respectable universities are being hired as professors and even vice-chancellors in some of these universities. The same thing that happened with the banks when we had close to a hundred of them is now happening with universities.
We must point out here that we are not opposed to the idea of private universities and we appreciate the critical roles many of them are playing. What we abhor is the current cynical approach to education in Nigeria and that explains why we have been calling for a total overhaul of the sector. That of course will go beyond the universities, private or public.
The late Tanzanian President, Mwalimu Julius Nyerere once argued that since the vast majority of Africans work in the agricultural sector, and since room for training youths are severely limited in pyramidal tertiary educational sectors, it is vital to invest the largest percentage of budgets for education in providing very high quality pre-primary and primary schools so that the products can creatively transform rural economies with their inventions and local manufacturing and processing activities.
The competition between the United States and the former Soviet Union was manifested in the former copying the focus by USSR on community libraries holding high quality books including classics from ancient cultures worldwide. The communist ideology of developing higher quality human beings / citizens fuelled this investment. In the United States, the belief that the defence of democracy depended on well informed citizens also drove the focus on holding high quality neighbourhood libraries.
Rulers of feudal Britain were as fearful of educating their low classes as the Hausa ruling classes whom Mallam Aminu Kano attacked and fought against. This fear warps education policy. Fear of foreign domination pushed Japanese leaders in the same direction for reasons of producing local personnel who can match feared invaders by also using their own model for training leaders.
While Africa needs a combination of the two models in an age driven by innovation and knowledge, the ideological guide needs to be openly discussed by critical stakeholders. In as much as we cannot continue to shut out millions of Nigerians from gaining access to university education, the high numbers of private universities must be matched with ensuring high quality teaching and learning within their precincts.

The Rural Electrification Agency wishes to make clear that the planned Energizing Education Programme (EEP) which aims to provide dedicated and reliable electricity to Federal Universities is on course for delivery in 2018, and is already part of the 2017 budget.
Allegations that the MD/CEO made any statements to the contrary are patently untrue and are at best, a misunderstanding and at worst, a campaign to deny our federal universities the opportunity to access uninterrupted power. Mrs. Damilola Ogunbiyi stated in fact that a majority of the Universities under the EEP are located in rural as well as underserved communities, hence the REA’s involvement.

Over one million out of 1.7m UTME candidates in 2017 have not gained admission and JAMB wants over 2 millions to register for the 2018 edition.

Almost all admission seekers want to be in UNILAG (NTA)
The Registrar of the joint admission and Matriculation Board, Prof Is-haq Oloyede on Monday, January 1 announced that the exam body expects over two million candidates to sit for the upcoming UTME exam.
That announcement sounds like the exam body is going to do admission promo for admission seekers this year. After all, the cut off mark has been reduced to 120 for University and 100 for Polytechnic candidates.

In 2017, 1.7 million candidates sat for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination UTME but only a few of them gained admission at the end, and that was not because they didn't meet JAMB's cut off point.

Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, JAMB Registrar recently announced reduction of UTME score to 120 for universities and 100 for polytechnics and colleges of education

It wasn't because they didn't score high in their post UTME screening either. Admission into higher institutions is just what it is in this country.

Some schools didn't offer admission to qualified candidates
In 2017, admission process in some of the universities across the country was fraught with so much disappointment that some parents had to come out to fight on behalf of their children.

A lot of the candidates were turned down by the tertiary institutions they chose during their UTME registration because they do not have the capacity to take all the candidates.

For instance, over 32,000 candidates chose the University of Lagos in the 2017 edition of UTME but the university was willing to admit only 8000.

The University of Ibadan in a bid to expand admission spaces for postgraduate students admitted 3,500 out of 20,949 applicants that scored 50 and above in their Post UTME.

Lagos state University, which is touted as the best state-owned higher institution in Nigeria also admitted only 3,500 candidates out of 36,000 admission seekers whose found the school as their best choice.

Prof. Idowu Olayinka, Vice Chancellor of University of Ibadan vowed he would not admit any JAMB candidate that scored 120 in UTME.

And apart from the universities rejecting these prospective students for one reason or the other, JAMB too was very aware that most of the 1.7m candidates that sat for UTME would not gain admission.

JAMB Registrar, Is-haq Oloyede made this known in October when he said only 30% of the 1,7 million candidates will gain admission.

It is sad that JAMB was aware of the deficiencies of the public higher institutions in Nigeria and allowed 1.7million candidates to register for UTME in 2017 only to come back after the examination in October to drop a bad news that almost 1.2 million of the candidates will not be admitted.


Sadly, hundreds of thousands candidates that wrote UTME last year are yet to know their admission status at some of the universities they chose.

Most of them are anxiously waiting; undecided whether to obtain another UTME form to try their luck again or continue to wait till the institutions say they are not admitting them again.

Moreover, since UTME was conducted in May 2017, most of the institutions are yet to admit freshers because the academic calendar of the Universities and polytechnics across the country was frustratingly disrupted last year. No thanks to ASUU and ASUP strike.

The admission status of most of the 2017 UTME is hanging and dangling like a sluggish pendulum of a useless wall clock, while JAMB is happily glorifying the N7.8 billion it made from the candidates.

Incessant ASUU Strike strangulate academic performance
Incessant ASUU Strike strangulate academic performance (Evatese)
In an ideal setting, JAMB is not supposed to be a revenue generating agency but an exam body that conducts examinations and regulates admission procedures in higher institutions.

However, when a body like JAMB is more interested in how much it remits to the government at the expense of admission seekers, then there is a huge problem.

Instead of expecting two millions candidates that will not be admitted at the end of the day to register for 2018 UTME, JAMB should focus more on how all qualified candidates will gain admission after every UTME and POST UTME exercise.


There is no point expecting to million candidates to register if there are no universities or polytechnics to take them.

Since JAMB knows the quota of each school, it is expected that JAMB registration should have a sizeable limit that takes admission problems in our higher institutions into consideration, after all, the exam body was established for this purpose and not for revenue generation.

Muslims in Nigeria have demanded for their own equivalent of January 1, which is the beginning of the year.
In Nigeria, January 1 is observed as a public holiday to mark the beginning of the year.
There have been arguments that the January 1 holiday is largely that of Christians as Muslims have a different calendar for the year.
Some State Governments have in the last few years been declaring holiday to mark the beginning of the Islamic calendar year.
Restating the positions of Muslims on Monday in a statement, the Muslim Rights Concern said the time has come for the Federal Government to give Muslims that own January 1.
In the statement signed by its Director, Prof. Ishaq Akintola, MURIC said: “As usual and since colonial days into Nigeria’s post-independence period, the Federal Government declared today, 1st January 2018, as a public holiday.
“The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) observes that today’s holiday fully consolidated the two-day Christmas holiday and enabled Nigerian Christians to kick off the 2018 Christo-Western Gregorian calendar.
“However, conscious Nigerian Muslims, particularly stakeholders in the welfare of Muslims as well as the growth and development of Islam in Nigeria, approached today’s holiday with mixed feelings. First and foremost, we express happiness for our Christian neighbours who were able to spend the day giving full practice, expression and manifestation of their faith. On the other hand, we experienced a feeling of despair, isolation and marginalization.
“Our feeling of marginalization arises from the reality of the Nigerian situation which has conditioned Muslims in the country for religious segregation and subjected them to spiritual apartheid.
“Here we are today, enjoying January 1st holiday which was declared by the Federal Government (FG) of Nigeria in recognition of the Christo-Western Gregorian calendar. But the same FG which recognizes this Christian calendar is yet to declare 1st Muharram a public holiday in recognition of the Islamic calendar despite several petitions and appeals to it dating back to the 60s. Surprisingly, some people still complain that Nigeria is Islamised!
“For the avoidance of doubts, only two of the world’s nine calendars have either survived or remained relevant to us in Nigeria. The first was the Egyptian calendar which came into existence ten thousand years ago. This was followed by six other ancient calendars, namely, the Babylonian, Hebrew, Mayan, Chinese, Greek and Roman calendars.
“Due to human errors in the Roman calendar discovered by Numa Pompilius (715 – 673 B.C.) and Julius Caesar in 46 B.C., the Council of Nicea of 365 C.E. came up with its surgical abracadabra by moving back the Roman calendar by four days. Thus March 25, 365 C.E. became March 21.
“But even this historical razzmatazz was not good enough for Pope Gregory XIII (1502 – 1585) when he discovered on Thursday, October 4, 1582 that the equinox fell on March 11 instead of March 21. By royal fiat, Pope Gregory quickly slashed off ten days from the year 1582 and the next day, a Friday which would have been October 5, 1582 became Friday, October 15, 1582. It is this Gregorian calendar, which was a product of gymnastic make-belief, that the Western world uses till today. It was this same calendar, a sheer hocus-pocus that the British Christian colonialists forced on Nigeria.
“Why is FG granting holiday for a false god of Rome and denying same for Allah the Creator of all things (Qur’an 2:29), the Judge of all Judges (95:, Master of all masters (51:58) and the King of Kings (3:26).
“We do not wish to be misunderstood: we are not agitating for the cancellation of anything which FG has given its over-pampered favourite, whether 1st January is based on falsehood and idolatory tendency or not is not our business, let them continue to enjoy it. But give us our day for crying out loud!
“Fortunately MURIC has successfully resisted the collective amnesia which is rampant among Nigerians. We recall the torments suffered by Nigerian Muslims under colonial rule. The most relevant of these inhuman treatments was the denial of holidays for Muslims on their festival days.
“Although the colonialists declared holidays for Easter, Christmas and 1st January, they bluntly refused to give any Muslim festival an equal status. Muslims were therefore forced to go to work on Id al-Fitr and Id Al-Kabir days. While Maulud an-Nabiyy was an anathema to the colonial master, 1st Muharram was blue murder.
“Whereas Nigerian Muslims were able to secure public holidays for some of its festivals in post-colonial period by dint of struggles and determination, 1st Muharram remains a pipe dream till today. The question on the lips of Nigerian Muslims today, 1st January, 2018 as Nigerian Christians savour the sweet sensation of the holiday and relish in the euphoria of spiritual fulfillment is, ‘When will our own come? When will the Nigerian state treat Muslims as complete human beings? For how long shall we remain second class citizens?’
“Research reveals that 1st January is in honour of Janus, the Roman god of gates whom the Romans believed protected them from invasions. This is an incontrovertible fact. Why should FG force us to idolize the false god of Rome? MURIC charges FG to drop its colonial garb and to don a truly nationalistic identity. On the contrary, the Islamic hijrah calendar is divine (Qur’an 9:36; 2:189; 10:5 and 17:12).
“Nigerians enjoy a total of eight ( public holidays in a year. These are Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Id al-Kabir, Id al-Fitr and Maulud an-Nabiyy. Five (5) of the eight holidays belong to Christians (Christmas Day, Boxing Day, 1st January, i.e, New Year Day, Good Friday and Easter Monday). Only three (3) holidays belong to Muslims, viz, Id al-Kabir, Id al-Fitr and Maulud an-Nabiyy.
“It is time for FG to add 1st Muharram to the number of Muslim holidays. This will bring the total number of holidays enjoyed by Muslims to four only while Christians still continue to enjoy five. This year’s 1st Muharram is likely to fall on Tuesday, 11th September, 2018 or thereabouts.
“Finally, we advise FG and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to interact with the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) for the exact date of 1st Muharram this year and declare it as a holiday.
“For Nigerian Muslims to feel a sense of belonging, FG must close the gap between Christians and Muslims. There must be a conscious effort to fully integrate Muslims into the Nigerian project otherwise we may be sitting on a keg of gun powder. Justice is the soul of peace and whoever denies one can never enjoy the other.”

A senior lecturer at the University of Ibadan identifies 12 universities that bets offer Computer Science.

Computer Science students (Jigpoly)
If Computer Science is the course you choose to study in the university, then you've got to choose the university that best offers the program.
Recently, Pulse informed admission seekers about institutions that best offer Law and Medicine in the country and many UTME candidates are taking advantage of the guide Pulse Student dishes out on the universities that best offer certain courses.

Unlike Law and Medicine, there is no professional body that rates the study of Computer Science in Nigerian Universities, but lecturers with years of experience in both field and lecture rooms can authoritatively recommend the best school to study this course for admission seekers.

Dr Roberts Charles, who is a Senior Lecturer of Computer Science at the University of Ibadan is one of such authorities.

The lecturer who has been teaching the course for 17 years at the premier University identified 12 universities that have proved to be very good at teaching the course.

In a chat with Pulse Students, Dr Roberts said he drew his conclusions based on his interactions with the graduates of the schools who came for master's program at the University of Ibadan.

Here are the Universities he recommends for admission seekers who want to study computer Science.
University of Ibadan

Federal University of Technology, Akure

Federal University of Technology, Minna

Obafemi Awolowo University, Ife

University of Calabar (UNICAL)

University of Benin, (UNIBEN)

Covenant University, Ota

Lagos State University, Ojo (LASU)

Kwara State University, (KWASU)

Ladoke Akintola University, Ogbomosho

Ekiti State University (EKSU)

University of Lagos, Akoka

Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.

The lecturer however blamed incompetent lecturers in the universities for the half baked computer science graduates in the country.

"Most Computer Science students in Nigerian Universities today are not practical oriented and it is because they don't have lecturers that are very competent and that is a problem. When the lecturer is not competent, the students too wont be confident in themselves.''
