� *HOW TO SCORE 300+ IN JAMB*

What are the advantages of scoring 300+ in the 2020 UTME?. You think it is not easy?, it is quite easy!

If you score 300+, it will give you upper hand over those that are with low JAMB score and it could land you your dream course.

Now, let’s dive into business, how can you score 300+ in 2020 UTME?, applying this simple hints will make it possible with no stress

Here is how to score 300+ in JAMB

*1. Slap Use Of English on the face*

Yes, you heard me right, the *easiest* subject to pass in JAMB is Use Of English because it is simple and it is also the best subject to fail, because it is *very tricky*, some students believe that English is really simple and easy to pass

Since I can speak correct English, I shouldn’t have any problem with English na, I don’t have to read it at all sef

Please and please, if you have this mentality, drop it! What I learnt from my senior reporter at Team Plato Reports, Taiwo Olalere Premier is that;

*_The correctness of a sentence can never be determined from the way it sounds while pronouncing it, most of the correct English are absurd to hearing_*

Let’s take a look at this question
*I want to _______ my hair (a) barb (b) cut (c) barber (d) barbing*

If a question like this is presented to us, definitely our answer will be option A, barb, yes na! It sounds okay to us, *I want to barb my hair*

If someone choose barber, you will laugh at the person because it sounds absurd to *tell a barber that you want to barber your hair*, lol.

BARBER is actually the correct answer, you can check your dictionary.

You may speak English very well, but that doesn’t make you a good English students, drop the I too know and get one of *Dele Ashade books (invisible teacher, A-Z in English, A1 in English etc)*, study it carefully and I promise you that you will definitely score 85+ in JAMB Use Of English.

*2. Know your weak point*

Are you weak in one subject?, please just try and know the topics/subjects you’re weak in, talk to someone that know it more than you and let the person guide you, remember nobody is an encyclopedia of knowledge, so always be humble to learn and never be shy too.

*3. Know your strong point and exploit it*

My best subject then was mathematics, so I know mathematics to be my strong point, I read all I could in mathematics and answered all questions neatly in the Exam, I was expecting 100 but scored 85 instead. Well that is still manageable, the point is, know what you are good at, let your best subject boost your score.

Assuming you scored 85 in Use Of English and now 85 in........ Read more https://www.tipsmint.com/how-to-score-300-in-jamb/

YCS Episode Six - YCSHUB
Good day to you famz, welcome to this week’s edition of YCS blog show.

Today as usual, I’m having a great man with me here, he will be taking us on the challenges facing youths, the causes of the challenges and how they could be solved.

P: Welcome sir, it is an honor to have you here with us.

Guest: Thank you.

P: Looking into the society today, youths are facing lots of challenges like financial, academic, moral, ethnic, unemployment challenges and some others.

These challenges have rendered lots of youths useless for themselves and also the society at large, because they are trying to seek illegal/immoral ways to solve them

A case study is the high rate at which youths are involving in money ritual and yahoo yahoo now for the sake of countering financial challenges.

That’s why elites like you are needed to discuss and analyze these challenges and also suggest solutions to solve them.

Sir, what can you say about the moral and the academic challenges facing youths in the society?

Guest: Thank you for inviting me for this discussion. My name is Omoyele Oludotun, a Chief Legislative Officer at the Lagos State House of Assembly.

Please kindly indulge me to start this discussion from an angle you have not mentioned which is the religious angle.

You see, while the government on one hand has particularly failed the youths, the religious institutions have played a fast one on the psyche of Nigerians to make them think the socio- economic problems the youths are facing can now be solved at the religious houses.

I am sorely disturbed by this development.

They have failed to inspire the youths to be patriotic and dedicated citizens. Rather than telling them to study hard and be morally upright they inspire them to think their problems can be solved personally and spiritually through magical financial success and materialism. So while clerics failed to question the source of wealth of the youths, the youths further sink into corrupt practices.

We need to be very honest with ourselves here. We are unnecessarily sentimental when it comes to being frank with hitting the nail on the head. Nigeria is ranked as the most religious nation on earth and yet Nigeria in the latest global corruption index is ranked 146 out of 180 countries, dropping even further despite all the noise about fighting corruption by the government. What is there to show for our religiosity?

If you look at the least religious countries in the world, they are essentially one of the most progressive and developed countries. When I say least religious I do not mean they are atheistic. They believe in God but they don’t solve their problems in religious houses. They approach and hold the government accountable, their academic institutions are functioning and frequented more than religious institutions, their scientists are the ones doing night vigil with research in their laboratories, there is discipline, rule of law and high level of patriotism. They don’t pray against witches or wizards, rather they consistently work towards solving the problems of humanity including that of Nigerian clerics who travel abroad for medical care and use the modern technologies invented by seeming atheistic countries.

Now let me talk about the moral angle.

Many youths have lost their sense of moral decency and this is not really their fault. It is the fault of the homes. There is growing indiscipline amongst youths. Growing up as youths we had our models and people who inspired us to strive for excellence. The opposite is the case these days. There is hardly anything we want to do today without the parents telling us they can get anything done so long as there is money to influence people. When students fail their entrance exam to government secondary schools they still find a way around to get them through even when the child knows he or she failed. Many young ones are enrolled into higher institutions while they are under aged as against what the law says. They are being taught corruption already. These are children who are still supposed to be nurtured at home. Now when some of them begin to fail in schools they turn to cultism or begin to bribe lecturers, some with the active connivance of their parents. Some females on the other hand would end up indulging in sex for marks. When it is time for jobs the same problem persists, it is not about merit but whom you know. These in turn would grow up to believe money and influence can achieve anything.

This takes us to academic problem. Recall that I mentioned earlier that the challenges facing the Nigerian youths is not exclusively their own making. It’s the fault of the homes, the government and religious institutions. If you check the last rankings of world best universities, no single Nigerian university made the first 500 list. Why? We should check out how much the government invests in education. Is it in tandem with world best expectations? How qualified are the lecturers? How standard are the schools? The youths are just a victim of the nation’s unfortunate circumstances.

Let me tell you this disturbing story. I was aboard a plane sometime in 2018 on my way to the US when I suddenly woke up to some disturbing noise. I looked around and I saw myself surrounded by lots of young Nigerians. They were so unruly. Completely undisciplined. While some were loudly campaigning for one of the young presidential candidates others were discussing politics while others engaged in heated arguments and fights. I felt deeply sad as I wonder what future lies ahead for our dear nation with these set or kind of youths trying to get into politics and direct the affairs of the nation. You see, if we don’t train our children they could become failures and embarrass us in the future and we would not be happy. The same applies to the government. Otherwise, why would most politicians or high ranking government officials send their children abroad for better, qualitative education? Because they know our own are not well funded and functional. Do you realise that there are many university students who cannot write or speak good English? How did they pass their WAEC and JAMB? How did they graduate successfully? Many of these who probably may not be employed by serious companies may eventually end up riding commercial motorcycles. To me they didn’t need to force their way into the higher institutions to waste their time. But they had no choice because there are no other choice such as functioning vocational centres.

Let me conclude, if you permit me, on this note because all the issues affecting the youths are interwoven. On the report given by Transparency International about Nigeria, please never mind all the noise and condemnation of the report by the Nigerian government.

Until all those in government at all levels believe in the fight against corruption and actively support the fight against it then we can condemn Transparency International. But sadly, people don’t even know what is corruption again.

Like William Shakespeare said in his Macbeth “I think our country sinks beneath the yoke; it weeps, it bleeds; and each new day a gash is added to her wounds”

P: Nicely and well said sir.

You really tried with the analysis and buttressing the said points with reasonable instances sir

All these are very correct I must say, but the next question is.

What is the way forward?

On the first point raised concerning religions contributing greatly to the problems battling youths.

What can be done to quench the fire of greediness burning in the heart of the youths that is compelling them to embrace the illegal ways of getting fortunes.

Guest: I think well meaning youths like you need to start speaking up to break the shackles of superstitious beliefs and spiritual gullibility.

People like Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and Rosa Parks were youths who changed the American racial landscape with their conviction, commitment and consistency.

Drawing inspiration from these great civil rights leaders, yes, our youths can. And we must understand that it may require paying the ultimate price, because that is what Martin Luther King and Malcolm X did. And judging from the words of Thomas Jefferson who was one of the founding fathers of America, ” The tree of liberty must be replenished from time to time with the blood of tyrants and patriots “.

To liberate this country may certainly not be easy, but believe me, we can, if we believe it. We need a forum like this, I mean the YCS Blog Show to start the talk and inspire the need for a change, speak up against obviously corrupt religious leaders without hate speech. Let them know that it is the failure of government that has made them superstars.

The youths should see the need for political participation as way to influence change and not to perpetuate the corruption. The youths are leading in many western countries in France for instance. So why can’t we? I think we should start the talk now. We should also let the religious leaders preach more of fear of God, morality, honesty, patriotism and less or zero prosperity themes. Let’s challenge the government through all relevant avenues, non violence please, to do more for education, encourage entrepreneurship more, tackle unemployment, build and equip vocational training centres.

P: This has clearly answered all my other questions and cleared me of any doubts or uncertainties.

Thank you so much for imparting us with your knowledge sir.

Guest: Thank you for the opportunity to speak up as well.

Over to you my readers, do you have anything to say? What have you learnt in this? Let’s hear from you through the comment box, we are waiting.

Thank you, see you next week.
