Please lets call a spade a spade,i know she's a lady and all but really this is "rubbish"whoever designed it for her must have been HIGH!...

It's high time we stopped I'll street encouraging mediocrity, really! That project there is below par to say the least. Yes, she can definitely improve on that, but this attempt isn't worth celebration or showcasing.

Deapexboy:
nja need more of this

More of this?
God forbid!

This head reminds me of those Lawn balls we played, those days

we used to call it "okolo"

12million??

Nice.. Is this also autobiography??

u guys dont understand me, u keeping refering to last yr, which i said that those guys were lucky cus der was mass failure, unilag recorded the lowest number of candidates for putme last yrs ever since putme started, cus of d failure in jamb, in 2011 where candidates blasted jamb, over 2500 candidates score 300+, none of those btw 200-260 make d merit list for medicine and surgery that yr (got a witness), cus of the outrageous mark score by some candidates in jamb, infact the cutoff mark in 2011 was 76%, a candidate with 230 in jamb need to score 38/40 in putme to make that 76%, which make such a candidate chances very slim

hmmm.. True talk! I remember that 2011 year. Not only medicine sef, most courses. A lotta pple had to do CoC.
I get your point very well, I understand you perfectly. but you see ehn, that 2011 was like that because most of those with high Jamb scores also did very well in putme! Imagine someone with a score as high as 285 also, would have needed to score about 32 out of 40 to get that same 76%. So assuming majority of those with high scores that year didn't do very well in putme, definitely the cutoff wouldn't have been that high, and people with lower scores like that 230, who then did well in the putme would have had greater chances.

But the fact remained that everyone (above 200, yes) still had the opportunity to write that putme. After all, the cutoffs were determined based on the overall performances in the putme.

I hear Unilag/Jamb might still reverse this whole eligibility ish though??
Let's await the outcome.

Are u kidding me. Yes jamb has lost its credibility but this has been reduced with the introduction of CBT not eliminated though.
As for unilag MBBS, Unilag post jamb isn't the best at all. As a medical student, u are most concerned with Phy chem bio, what's their biz with maths and general paper. You think the current crop of MBBS are the best we could have gotten, u are extremely wrong. It not my opinion, its the fact. You wanna study English or Law, and maths is compulsory for post jamb.

Same point i'm tryna make here man! See, OK, still using MBBS as our reference point, let's assume this case:
A student, an average one perhaps, happens to score 270 in jamb, (due to hard work or sheer luck) and another student, a brighter one scores 220 for whatsoever reason, (Probably error on the student's part or from the exam body itself).
Now note that math is not one of the jamb subjects for MBBS students.
Both students proceed to the post utme, and the former, with higher jamb scores (270) manages to score 55%, but the other gets a whooping 80%!

Hope you get what I'm driving at fully now?!

Left to JAMB, the poor guy with the 80% score will not be eligible to write the exam in the first place. Sadly.

Well... @the bolded, I don't think that should be a problem at all. That is why it's an entrance exam, isn't it? Unilag just has to reduce the number of applicants to the barest minimum and that is a good way of doing that. At least the method has been working fine? Instead of giving each applicant same UTMe subjects. It is now left to the applicant to buckle down, prepare for it, since that is his/her choice.
But After all they all did math and English in the o levels, didn't they? Lol.

It's a different thing entirely if you're advocating the SAmE questions per examination day for putme in those three subjects...

labodinho:
Yes but I'm hearing unilag is intervening in the eligibility stuff.Unilag is requesting their candidates back frm jamb so probably monday or tuesday,we should get good outcome.So post utme might be postponed. #Unofficail news frm unofficial source.

Lol @ #Unofficial news... Heard it too. Hope it becomes official soon though....
Then maybe other schls will follow suite. This whole eligibility ish doesn't make sense now, a thousand and one things are wrong with tha policy.

ariyibiyomi:
that was because they was a mass failure in jamb last year, if it has been this year, am sure the guy cant make the merit list with dt 35/40 and 70%, cus the cutoff mark cant be 70, where guys are having 280+, 290+, let be realistic, those with 240+,250+ have a slim chance

Lol.
Like @FrancisTony was trying to point out earlier which I agree, JAMB as an ex am body has lost its credibility a long time ago. Forget about CBT or what have you, it's all crap (I know what I'm saying bro), as a matter of fact.
You see, the truth of the matter is, taking Unilag for example, majority of those who often gain admission on MERIT are those whose scores range between 200 to say, 250. (I personally know at least 4 of the top 10 on the merit list, for MBBS last year), and like only one of them scored 250, the rest 22* to 2 thirty something. But they all blasted the postutme exam, obviously!

This whole new policy wasn't well thought about, to me.
Everyone should still be given a level playing ground like they have always been doing, after all, even if its 200 students an institution can take out of 9000 applicants, they can still arrive at that. All they need to do is to select them based on the cut off marks and their performances, after the post utme exams that is. Isn't that the method they've been using??
Majority of the 'ineligible' students might even be better academically than the others. I'm not trying to encourage mediocrity here or say that 'average' students shouldn't work hard for excellence, but the
truth of the matter is that in Nigeria of Today, Jamb/UTMe scores (forget the CBT of a thing) cannot be said to be a true reflection of one's academic ability or one's actual performance during the exams itself, (there are exceptions to this though).. (Though the Jamb CBT exams is still the best method to eradicate any malpractices both on the part of the candidates and JAMB itself, it still has a long way to go...)

Or isn't that the reason the POstUTme exams were initiated in the first place??

I just wonder why people just comment what is not meaningful simply because you wanna make first to comment. Get a life! Reports are suppose to be read and opinion pointed out respectfully. This symposium is for us to be informed, it should not be a race to know who was the first to comment on a post..

*Yawns* !

Lol. Congrats!
But she wasn't as 'white' as this when she won the Mbgn though! #Justsaying

Hmm... Cool stuff.
