I understand the proposals, but i dont know the implications. Will it make admission easier for the poorly connected? Because my mind is telling me something else

Hey! let the poorly connected study well. All we are saying is that the exam environment/condtions become fairly equal. So there is no point talking about CONNECTION again. If nobody cheats then the highest score becomes the reference. We should expect say, 220 as the cut-off for medicine, depending on general performance in a well-monitored entrance exam.

Another good part, once you are not sure of your chances after an exam, you will be on the look-out for the next school that will sell Entrance form so you can apply. And it goes on and on.

Please to everyone mentioning merit admission as one of the benefit of this new policy then i have some questions to ask.

1) What happens to admission based on catchment areas and different cut off points in place right now?.

2) What about these so called educationally less developed states and the need to reserve a certain quota for students from these states?.

3) What about schools cooperating to conduct exams that is valid in all of these schools ?.

[b]Hello bro/sis, let me attempt to answer these questions

1.) Catchment area admission policy is not in any way going to be affected. The thing most of the schools will do is to consider a slightly lower cut-off mark for candidates from the catchment areas. If you outrightly beat the cut-off of a course for any school you applied to, you can be sure that you will be offered admission. Do not forget that for every Entrance Exam conducted JAMB will now have the list of the applicants, their scores and then the various cut-offs of each department. So, there is no way you will exceed the cut-off and be left out of the admission list.

2.) About the so called educationally less developed states and the need to reserve a certain quota for students from those states. This will be based on what policy JAMB puts in place to govern all institutions about this type of case. But surely, they will still be taken care of.

3.) Schools cooperating to conduct exams that is valid: No school Vice Chancellor will want his/her name soiled. They will definitely have no hiding place as JAMB will now be their EFCC to oversee (as king of external observer) all the Entrance Exam activities.
What I foresee is serious competition of exam standards.
Also, I do not see a group of schools coming together to conduct same Entrance Exams. Those Professors will never agree. IT PROMISES TO BE VERY INTERSTING[/b]

[b]As a graduate of Elect/Eletct. Engineering, an Enterprenuer and a CEO of one of the Organisations Accredited by JAMB for Online UTME registration since it started, I talk authoritatively in support of this plan to scrap JAMB from the following facts:

1.) JAMB does not have enough personnels to undertake the task of conducting Exam for the huge no of candidates
ii.) JAMB does not have adequate facilities to undertake the task of conducting Exam for the huge no of candidates
iii.)It is impossible for JAMB to do a thorough supervision of Exams conducted at too many locations.
iv.) JAMB still hires corrupt Individuals (teachers, letcurers, etc) to conduct exams on its behalf
v.) (iv) above leads to malpractices that is almost becoming the norm in UTME
vi) Candidates do no longer read as they only make sure they go to Exam centres with enough money to give to supervisors
vii) As many as the number of Exam centres so is the no of standards or conditions under which students write exams.

JAMB-UTME is not just in any way effective and can never be effective in conducting credible exams for all nigerian students

The only way out is to scrap UTME and allow the Universities conduct their Entrance Examinations under a SINGLE supervisory agency or body such as JAMB.

I am very sure that when this is done, it will now be a matter of EGO for a Tertiary Institution to allow her Entrance Exam Questions leak. The particular school where instance(s) of leackage(s) is/are found should be brought to book by JAMB and other relevant agencies.

Benefits of scraping UTME

i.) Examinations will definitely be better monitored since exams takes place right their on the schools campuses
ii.) Examinations will definitely be better coordinated since each school will use their own staff to supervise
iii.) Schools can also choose whether to use Essay + Objectives OR the normal OBJ questions for their exams
iv.) Schools can now generate legitimate money from selling Entrance forms
v.) Candidates will be forced to be more serious with their studies
vi) Admission will be easier as a candidate can now write as many Entrance Exams as possible
vii.) Admissions will then be more "BY MERIT"
viii.) When the standard of Entrance Exams and Coordination are raised it will definitely tell on students attitudes in Secondary schools.
ix.) Also as an academician, most lecturers I know would ensure strict compliance in Exam halls during Entance Exams.
x.) This will ensure that the very serious students gain admission which will eventually produce BETTER QUALITY OF GRADUATES FROM OUR TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS.

Sincerely speaking it is between N200-N600 daily as a business man. And it is because my rates on MTN and Etisalat are both N12 per minute to any network.

Bad news spread faster than good news

Please, I like to be sure if NYSC allow Pregnant ladies to Serve. Any details about this special case. I also like to know the AGE at which one is no longer eligible to serve. Thanks in advance for your useful comments.

1 Corinth. 2:14
"But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned"

I guess the moderators need not block anybody's post or comment. Our posts and responses tell others our attitudes to things and who we are and most importantly it helps the servants of God here to know how well people are receiving God's word so we know how to intensify our efforts at preaching and teaching.

Not all of us are beleivers (if not Jesus would have come back). Not all of us know what/who we beleive. Not all Nairalanders know why they should even beleive in Jesus Christ. So, please, let the forum be open to all and sundry to comment on anything expecially that has to do with salvation.
God bless this forum and its moderators.

[b]Many of those who say they do not want the word of God on a particular site are limiting the spread of God.

A man who limits God limits his/her destiny. It is written "In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He will direct thy path - Prov 3:6'
Where then do we get true direction if not from God's word?

Every other post we read on NL gives us information and most of these do not really add to us in any way.

[size=16pt]Why do we celebrate information and despise divine direction/wisdom?[/size]

But "the word of God will Heal us, Keep us, Guide us, Correct us, Build us, Fight for us, Change us, Help us, Profit us in every aspect of our lives. The word of God is God. Psalm 107:20, Heb 4:2

Are we saying we dont want God on NL?
Are we resisting God?
Are we limiting God?
Are we pursuing God away from this forum?

[size=14pt]May God have mercy on everyone who has contributed directly or indirectly to resisting HIM on this forum[/size].

Whatsoever a man soweth so shall he reap. A man who limits God is hopeless.

So, repent now and be forgiven. God bless us all who fear Him.[/b]

I advise that you check the other Cafes already existing in your area to see the ISP they patronize. Please dont gamble with your hard earned money ooo.
However, there is no such thing as "Best ISP". You only try and get the ISP that is currently doing well in your area and subscribe. At any time "t" and without prior notice that "Best" ISP may develop problem and you will soon have to determine the next "Best" ISP to patronize. This is the reality of today's cafe business. Best of luck.

As an ambitious enterpreneur, I have been brainstorming to get possible areas where Small Scale Businesses can benefit from the PHCN privatization when completed finally. What are the areas where we can possibly invest and what skills or basic will be required in the privatised PHCN operations. Thanks

Show me two marriages that exhibit similar trend in a particular religion.

If truly religion is a true reflection of marriage, then religious marriages should be the most successfull.

Going to church and mosque is just a routine for most people, it really has no effect on their personality.

I quite agree with your words now. However a comparison could still be made on a general level considering those who profess to be either christians or muslims. This is another way of measuring the effects of religion teachings on people. In essense, IN REAL LIFE, WHAT HAVE YOU WITNESSED? THAT IS WHAT I NEED YOU TO SHARE. Thanks.

@k2039

Marriage is based on the individuals involved and not their religion

But religion has proven to have so much influence on the choice of who we marry or desire to marry. Majority of us profess we are muslims or christians. I beleive that religion teachings have gone a long way in the making of many of us. I beleive that we cannot be separated from our beliefs. OR Do we just go to Church or Mosque or profess Christians and Muslims just for the fun of it? Even at the registry The Bible or The Quran is usually used to join intending couples together. Come on let's be practical here. If you are a muslim or a christian tell us your experience from your relationships or those of others you have seen.

I need nairalanders who are married or have observed various marriages / homes, whether christian or muslim to share their experiences here as we compare these 2 mariages in practical terms.

1.)
Muslim wives, Christian wives

Which ones are more submissive to their husbands? Why?
Which wives tend to be more arrogant and stubborn? Why?

2.)
Christian husband, Muslim Husband
Which ones love their wives more? Why?
Which ones show less love to their wives? Why?


3.)
Christian Marriage, Muslim Marriage
Who suffers most in a marriage? (a)Christian husband (b)Muslim Husband c)Christian wives d)Muslim wives
Which marriages have higher divorce rates? Muslim/Christian

Please be 100%practical in your responses.
