Craigston:
I phoned UNILORIN today and my suspicion was confirmed. The man at the other end of the telephone told me to help myself, that this is nigeria where everything is possible. He said that some persons who scored 20% in post UTME had been admitted already, that the cutoff mark doesn't matter. He said he already had his own candidates to help. Terrible.

Dats nigeria fr u Bro.its rily tiring

engrjacuzzi:
GUS of course! My reasons are; GUS is about your mental fitness as well as adapting to life from a challenging view while MTN is all about showcasing talent of an already made star and not really a true picture of the contestant's identity.

Yea,try tlk.

A Federal High Court sitting in Kano state on
Tuesday, convicted and sentenced two men,
Mohammed Mansur and Mohammed Auwal, to
21 years imprisonment after they pleaded guilty
to three counts of conspiracy and obtaining
money by false pretences preferred against them
by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission.
The commission said in a statement on Tuesday
by its spokesman, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, that the
convicts were arraigned on July 9, 2013 for
conspiracy and an attempt to defraud one Alhaji
Auwal Ayagi under the guise of procuring plots of
land from him for Visafone Communications
Limited.
According to the charge, they had claimed to be
agents of Visafone Communications Limited,
located at Zoo Road, Kano outlet, and had been
assigned by their company to help purchase plots
of land from the complainant.
The deal was to be worth N30m, for which the
duo demanded that 10 per cent be paid into their
bank accounts as commission. Upon arraignment
they pleaded not guilty but, in the course of trial,
after the prosecution had called one witness, the
two men dramatically changed their plea and
owned up to their crime.
Consequently, the prosecuting counsel, Idris
Haruna, urged the court to convict them
accordingly.
“Justice Fatu Riman of the Federal High Court
Kano consequently convicted the accused
persons and sentenced them to 21 years
imprisonment each without the option of fine.
The sentence of the first convict who has been in
prison custody since arraignment for failure to
meet his bail terms is to start from the date of
arraignment,” the statement read.

Nice one op..my opinion is dz..too much of everytin is bad..left for me I actually filter my face buh its simple and beautiful..dias sometin dy call flawless makeup..I thinksome ladies nid to adopt it

At least a female agreed wth me. hmmm simple and beautiful and flawless.u MST be rolling our heads.lolz

I didn’t realise until quite late in life that some
women don’t just wear make-up, they wear a full-
on disguise – the sort you might adopt if you were
evading capture. At university one of new
flatmates came downstairs late one night and I
thought we were being burgled.
It had been obvious before that she wore a lot of
make-up, but I naively hadn’t realised that
without it she would look like a completely
different person. On a later occasion I overheard
her, in unpainted form, opening the door to a guy
who knew her quite well and having to overcome
his puzzled expression by saying: “John, it’s me
Surely, if taking off your lady-mask means having
to continually provide voice recognition to people,
this would be some kind of sign. Not for her, she
carried on as before. And according to a new
survey it seems that the only unusual thing was
that she allowed other people to gaze upon her
unmade-up face in the first place.
Apparently half of women admit to doing their
make-up at least four times a day and a whopping
67 per cent only go bare-faced twice a month.
These findings are presented as part of a
campaign to give women the confidence to “pare
back the amount of make-up they wear” and to
let their “own natural radiance shine through”.
Shouldn't natural beauty be the on thing now.

Admission into nigerian tertiary institution is like. A game where one has to b sharp and not nonchalant waiting on the nigerian huzzling to crumple u.
This applies to the applicant and parent

I will be very brief, giving just the
important things to do.
1. Request from your child his UTME
result. See what he scored. If he has
anything 160 and above, depending
on a number of factors, he may be
admissible into a university, but
even with slightly lower marks, he
can gain admission into other types
of tertiary institutions.
2. Weigh your chances, if need be a
more inmformed person. If your
ward has high scores like 240 and
above, your worries may not be
much, again depending on the
course he applied for and the
university.
3. If the scores are low, you may,
depending on your assessment of
chances, even need to change the
course or institution he applied for,
or both. Fortunately, even if your
child was over ambitious in his
choice, because children usually fill
the forms while they are at school
without consultation with their
parents, you now improve his
chances of admission by buying a
GREEN CARD at the nearest JAMB
office and making the necessary
changes online. Please inquire from
the JAMB office the dateline for
effecting the alterations or else it
may be too late. Just do it as quick
as possible from the week following
the one in which the result was
released after taking an informed
decision.
3. FIRST CHOICE of a polytechnic,
College of Education or University, is
what is used for admission. Hardly
would any university listen to you if
your child has chosen it as a second
choice. From my experience, they
often get annoyed with you. The list
of applicants sent to the universities
by JAMB is usually of the first
choices of applicants only. Be very
careful on this. It is a golden rule.
4. If you find out that your child is
not likely to be admitted into a
university, you may wish to try your
luck in a polytechnic or college of
education of his FIRST CHOICE.
There, the cut-off points are usually
much lower. This is one of the
dividends of unifying the
matriculation examination. Kudos to
NBTE, NBCE, NUC and JAMB.
5. Also, play it safe by restricting
your choices to your CATCHMENT
AREA. The entire country is a
catchment area for UNIABUJA.
Apart from it, I don't think there is
any with that wide net. Please let me
be corrected on this if I am wrong.
Then ABU is a catchment university
for all states in Northern Nigeria.
The same thing I think are UI,
UNILAG and IFE to the southwest.
Then other universities and
institutions have their respective
catchment areas in their zones and
neighbouring states. If you are an
indigene of Bauchi for example, BUK
is not your catchment university, but
UNIJOS and all universities in the
former Northeast are, as well as
UNIABUJA and ABU as we
mentioned. Please pay attention to
this golden rule too, unless you are
sure that your child has the high
scores that will place him on the
national MERIT LIST of the
institution he has applied for.
6. Once you have finalized on where
the child has the best chances of
admission, immediately establish a
link with someone you know in the
university or higher institution of his
FIRST CHOICE. If you don't know
anyone, please find one by taking a
trip to the place and meeting with
someone in the department he
applied for or in the academic office.
Make sure you EARN his goodwill if
you want him to be picking your
calls and giving you the correct
information. And depending on how
well you EARN that goodwill, he may
even be the one calling you and
intimating you on the stage of the
admission process. As a Nigerian
you know what I mean. Haba! A beg,
me I no dey for wahala if Lamorde
catch una wo. But if you have a good
friend there, ah, you may not need
to go that far. It could even backfire
especially in Northern Nigeria.
7. Maintain a regular contact with
your link. Enquire from him when
the admission exercise of the
university will commence. (Note that
different institutions in Nigeria have
different academic calendars)
Disturb him. Be on his neck, until
your son is through, of course
softening his mind with your polite
mouth and smiling pocket, if
necessary.
8. For universities especially, the
post-JAMB, or post-UME test as it is
called, may be necessary. Don't miss
it. Don't joke with it. Ensure that
your ward prepares for it as he
prepared for UTME and WAEC, in
fact even more. The post-JAMB
scores are pooled with that of the
UMTE to determine the admissibility
of your child. But not all universities
conduct it, and hardly do
polytechnics and Colleges of
Education.
9. Do whatever is possible to ensure
that the name of your ward appears
on the first list of admitted students;
otherwise get it on the second. Even
with the best promises, banking on
the third list, or "VC's list" as it is
called, must only be the last resort
for people with long legs. If you are
an ordinary Nigerian, your final
chance is the second list. Otherwise,
better start preparing for the worst.
10. Finally, for universities that do
not conduct the post-JAMB test but
admit solely on the basis of UTME
scores, ensure your child works hard
during the first semester. If he
doesn't earn at least a certain GPA
aggregate, he may be withdrawn
immediately the results of the first
semester are out.

Ur own advice will b highly invaluable
