The Council announced the ratings in the report of the ad-hoc committee it set up to assess students' performance.

Headed by the Lagos State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Ade Ipaye, the committee had Prof. J. A. M. Audi, representative of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA); Prof. E. S. Olarinde, Provost, College of Law, Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti; Dr. Y. M. Yusuf, the Dean of Law, University of Maiduguri; Mr. Emeka Obegolu, representative of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA); Prof. M. O. U. Gasiokwu, the Dean of Law, Delta State University, Abraka; Mr. S. A. Osamolu, Director/Head of Academic, Nigerian Law School and Mrs. M. M. Stanley-Idum, the Deputy Director (Academic), Nigerian Law School, as members.

Accordinf to the ratings, coming second behind UNILORIN is the University of Lagos (UNILAG), followed by the University of Ibadan (UI), and the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) in the third and fourth positions respectively while the University of Uyo (UNIUYO) and Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA) share the fifth spot..

UNILORIN came second in the 2012 and 2013 Bar Final Examinations

The committee noted in the report that the "“inability of various Faculties of Law to have uninterrupted academic activities in a semester... contributed to the declining standards" which affected their performance in the exams.

“In a bid to meet the Nigerian Law School calendar, some Faculties of Law abridged their programme to compensate for incessant strikes and other disruptions," it stated.

The Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali, described the feat as monumental.

He called for similar rating exercise across other faculties in Nigerian Universities.

X-Rated Teacher This teacher had sex with three of her teenage students

A former high school teacher accused of having sexual relationships with three of her teenage students took a plea deal Wednesday, crying as she accepted the agreement in court.

Two of the boys were 17 while a third was 16 when they were having sex with Brianne Altice, 35. One testified that he considered her to be his girlfriend during their yearlong sexual relationship.
But that won't keep her out of jail as Utah law also says a person cannot consent to sex if the other person is in a position of special trust. Altice, who taught high school English, pleaded guilty to three counts of forcible sexual abuse in exchange for prosecutors dropping 11 other counts, including several first-degree felonies.
The school authority knew about Altice's inappropriate behavior and didn't do enough to protect the students, the boys and their parents said. In a lawsuit against the Davis School District, they say the running joke at the high school was, "Who is Ms. Altice sleeping with now?"
Davis School District spokesman Chris Williams said he would love to comment on the allegations but that the civil lawsuit precludes him from saying anything. Prosecutor Susan Hunt said the three victims are on board with the plea deal.
Altice is scheduled to be sentenced on May 28 with each count carrying a possible sentence of 1 to 15 years in prison.
Altice's attorney, Ed Brass, said his client wanted to resolve a case to avoid risking an uncertain outcome at trial. Brass previously defended Altice, saying she was no longer the boys' teacher when the sex occurred.
Altice was first arrested in October 2013 after a student reported having a relationship with her. Two more victims later came forward with similar allegations.
Altice was out on bail during most of the criminal proceedings until allegations emerged earlier this year that she had sex with the third victim following her 2013 arrest. A judge ordered her to jail, where she's been for the three months.
Brass asked the judge Wednesday to let Altice out on bail until her sentencing, but the judge denied the request.
Altice was hired by the Davis County School District in 2004 and had been teaching at the high school since August 2012. She was put on leave from the school after the allegations came to light and later fired in February 2014.

Assistant principal gets 'lenient' sentence for having sex with student

(According to Pulse.ng) Mark Steven West, 32, a married man with one child, was given a 'lenient' sentence on Tuesday of four months in jail followed by eight years probation after pleading guilty to the improper relationship while working a Spring High School in Spring, Texas.
He had previously claimed the girl initiated his actions, seducing him by saying she was 'feeling horny'.
She also told police she encouraged West to have sex. his
Despite the light punishment, the judge was scathing in handing down the punishment, saying that just three weeks after the incident the girl would have graduated, which would have made their encounter legal.
'You did it because you enjoyed the attention of young girls,' State District Judge Catherine Evans said.
'We're talking about a razor thin margin of three weeks between what separates a felony crime from a poor decision to have an inappropriate extramarital affair.'
Texas law prohibits educators having sex with students.
West apologized to the court, saying he made 'bad decisions made on impulses' and was being 'selfish'.
School officials were first tipped off to the allegations after hearing rumors and seeing inappropriate interactions between West and certain students at the school on separate occasions, according to court documents.
She also saw West 'body slam' a female student, in a playful manner, on a couch in the lobby office.
Students told investigators about rumors that West had sex with a student at the 2012 Project Prom event.
The woman, who is now at college, told investigators she seduced West.
She told investigators that she came on to West first and that he initially refused her advances, according to court documents.
She said she started to flirt and talk with West, allegedly telling him that she 'was horny and wanted to have sex with him'.
He tickled one girl, lifted up another, and was accused of making inappropriate comments to two others.
West was interviewed by a senior staff member at Spring High School in Texas in December 2012 after administrators heard that he made a sexual remark about one female student and possibly had sex with another.
He was also investigated in the 2011-2012 school year for inappropriately touching a female student on her lower back.
No charges were filed due to lack of evidence but he was ordered not to have any contact with female students.
One staff member said she was extremely uncomfortable by the number of lengthy 'closed door meetings' West was having with female students.
The staff member said she observed students leaving his office, smiling and laughing, with their clothes and hair disheveled.

'I Dropped Out Of School' Poverty, boredom pushed me into rape, robbery gang — 26-yr-old Suspect

A 26-year-old school dropout arrested for fraud and rape,Uchenna Ugwu, has said he was pushed into crime by poverty and boredom.

Ugwu, an Enugu state indigene, was paraded at the Awka, Anambra State office of theDepartment of State Service, as a member of a syndicate of fraudsters who pretend to be spiritualist and then rape and defraud unsuspecting women,PUNCH Metroreports.
The group operated in Asaba, Delta State, and Obosi, in the Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State.
He confessed to the crime but blamed his case on poverty and frustration.

“I joined this business to fight boredom because my former work was not going on fine and had shut down," he said.
The suspect said he was forced to stop his education very early because his parents were too poor to finance it.

“My parents, who are still alive, are poor and because they cannot sponsor my education, I had to stop at primary six.”
He begged for mercy, promising never to engage in crime again.
“I have suffered a lot in the hands of these people (DSS) and I promise not to indulge in this act again in my life; this is a lesson to every young man that doing evil is not the best,” he said.
Student Pulse gathered that the gang lure women into an arranged prayer house, where she would be tricked into disclosing their ATM PIN codes and compelled to take an oath of secrecy.

One of the gang's victim toldPUNCH Metroshe believes she must have been hypnotized.
“To be sincere, I did not know what I was doing. I lost my sense of reasoning during the process until after he raped me," she said.
The Director of DSS,Alex Okeiyi, warned members of the public to be cautious.

UNILAG Students, Enugu Youths Protest #Xenophobic Attacks

University of Lagos, UNILAG students and Enugu youths protest xenophobic attacks on foreigners, especially Nigerians, in South Africa.
The latest protesters included the students of the University of Lagos and members of the Youth Action for Success.

The UNILAG students on Monday staged a protest at the South Africa’s High Commission, Lagos, while the YAS members took to the streets of Enugu on Tuesday.
The UNILAG students delivered a protest letter to the South African High Commissioner, Amb. Lulu Mguni, giving the South African authorities a 24-hour ultimatum to either stop the attacks or face a boycott of businesses and products from the country.
The students came in three buses, one of which had ‘Aluta missile’ on the number plate.
One of the students that participated in the protest told our correspondent that the demonstration had been planned to move on to major South African companies on the Lagos Island but that the police stopped the protesters.

He said, “We issued a 24-hour ultimatum for the appropriate authorities of South Africa to stop the attacks or they risk a boycott of their businesses and products in the country. We will be the ones to champion the boycott.
“We were to go to a major South African company on Tiamiyu Savage Street but armed policemen resisted us and we cancelled our trip.”
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Nwosu, confirmed the protest.
He said, “The students, under police protection, demonstrated at the South African High Commission. They made attempts to go to the DSTV and MTN offices but were appropriately advised in the interest of security.
“They peacefully departed after a hitch-free protest.”
In Enugu, the youths, who protested on the streets of the coal city, demanded an end to the attacks within 48 hours, failing which South African investments in Enugu State and other parts of Nigeria would be destroyed.
The youths, under the aegis of YAS, carried placards with various inscriptions. Some of the placards read, “No to mindless killing of Nigerians”, “Stop this xenophobia now” and “Don’t tempt our patience”, among others.
Speaking to journalists during the rally, the leader of the group, Jesechai Okezie, said the South Africans had not been grateful for the hospitality of other Africans.
He said, “We are not happy that Nigerians are being brutalised and killed in South Africa.
“We allowed South Africans to come here and operate; they have Shoprite, Multichoice, MTN and a host of other investments here.
“So why are they killing us? Why are they brutalising us? Why are they denying us of our economic rights?
“We love other nationals here in Nigeria, we treat them with the highest level of hospitality, but this is what we have got in return.”
Demanding an immediate end to the attacks, Okeke said, “These killings must stop forthwith.
“We are giving the South African government 48 hours to ensure that these killings and looting come to an end.
“The President of South Africa must assure the world that the lives and properties of Nigerians are safe; if they don’t do that, we are going to react and our reaction will be disastrous.
“We are asking Nigerian youths to remain calm.” (Punch Newspaper)

REMINDER! REMINDER!! 20 THINGS YOU MUST NOT FORGET TO TAKE TO NYSC ORIENTATION CAMP

Helllo intending Otondo and Otondo to be . Batch A 2015 would be off to your nysc orientation camp very soon . So for the love i have for you all as a tiny expert in that area. i would be giving some tips from this post till Monday before you leave.
So Today post is concerning things you just cant live without in camp except you intend on borrowing or stealing?(hmmm) .

1.PHOTOCOPIES OF YOUR DOCUMENTS: just make up to 10-12 copies of every document required . There would be photocopiers at the nysc orientation camp at maami market but trust me , it is double the price and it saves time. Statement of Result (Original and Photocopies) , School ID Card (Original and Photocopies)

2.COPIES OF PASSPORT PHOTOGRAPHS: This is very important . from experience i would say you make up to 30. Reason being that you would need them at every registration point mostly. Then those of you who would likely redeploy , you would need more than others . It is always advisable to have extra copies of them too.

3.CALL UP LETTER: This is a vital part of camp and the only evidence that you are a corper (otondo) and you are not impersonating anyone. so if at all you even forget you luggage (lol) never forget this. Word of advice—-keep it like its your life, do not laminate it o. i know someone who was sent back because she forgot hers. and also someone who had to beg and beg before his letter was collected because he laminated his own copy. So please o avoid all these stress and make enough copies of this letter like 15 .

4.STATIONERY :BIRO , PAPER , GLUE , TIPPEX AND STAPLER :Yeah this saves time and lots of unnecessary begging. also do not forget to include pins in your stapler.

5.ROUND-NECKED WHITE T-SHIRTS : this is an essential outfit in camp in fact in most camps this is the only allowed cloth to be worn throughout your 3 weeks . Even to church , you might not be allowed to wear colored cloths. You would be given 2 pairs of white t-shirts at camp to just fulfill all righteousness which surely would never be your size especially our very slim and small otondo in size . So you can bring extra pairs

(3) . Word of advice: do not carry more than 2 pairs of colored clothes because you wont need it .

6.WHITE SHORTS: i beg you please do bring yours , you would also be given 2 pairs of shorts which are really poor in material . they tear easily and are thick . it can be annoying. so my dear otondos bring like 4 pairs of shorts . Trust me also you wont like to wash everyday ,so bring enough to last you like 3 days so that you wont be stranded.

7.PLAIN WHITE SNEAKERS/TENNIS SHOES: This is a very important outfit. you would also be given a pair of low quality tennis shoes customized for nysc. Its either you are not given your size . After the first wash it starts tearing . So just buy yours. They also sell this in camp , so in case you are not able to get you could buy in camp just carry extra cash for that because the price would be higher cos they know you have no choice than to buy.

8.WHITE SOCKS: Just get extra pairs . you would also be given 2 pairs.

9. A PAIR OF SLIPPERS

10.DETTOL : This is very very essential . firstly the bathrooms can be very annoying and dirty and you would not like to have infection from camp. Bad idea. Also the water can be dirty.Most people always have reaction to it.

11.MOSQUITO NET: you would do not want to fall sick in camp from malaria. Just bring yours. Also bring ropes you would use to tie it o. i also used mine as a room to protect my box and properties from thieves and also from some insects and ants

12.OTHERS: Towel , bed sheets Pillow Cases and A Pillow . you could also get pillow from mammy market.

13.NOVEL :For those who get bored easily , please carry some . And for guys psp or chess. also iPod and mp3.

14.CASH: extremely important. you would need between 15000–20000 for the extravagant spenders and for those that can manage say 10000-15000. There are lots of things that take up money . Things like food(for those who don’t intend eating camp food) , recharge cards, charging of phones , pleasures e.t.c NOTE—- you wont be allowed to leave camp o. So do not be stranded , trust me not a good idea.Just budget 1000 per day . You could carry your ATM incase.

15.ALMIGHTY WAIST POUCH/BAG:Very very essential . This served as my bank and locker for important items. Things like phones, money , id card , keys , ATM cards e.t.c I even know someone who sleeps with hers on because of people on the loose to steal .

16.TORCHLIGHT OR RECHARGEABLE LAMPS: Most or in fact all camps do not give light except at a specific time of the day . Its very essential . especially at night when you need to use the bathroom , early in the morning when preparing for morning drills and meditations. at night in case you need to do anything . At mammy , there is always light till they close . You can charge them there at a little fee.

17.BASIC DRUGS: like panadol or paracetamol , allergy medicine , menustaral pain drug , nausea relief drugs , antibiotics e.t.c . The camp clinic is always inadequately filled with drugs so help yourself.PADLOCKS : please lock your boxes and bags to avoid regrets and crying o . i know people who lost things to theives due to carelessness

18.Toiletries/Sanitary Pad .

19.Bucket, soap dish (buy at the camp site, don’t stress yourself taking one to the place, they always sell in the camp)

20.PLATE , BOWL AND CUP: For eating . Important for those who intend on eating

Happy Camp in advance all

"Not A Good Swimmer" 22-yr-old undergraduate dies while swimming in ocean

Police sayDamian Parks’ body was found on the beach early Monday morning, almost a day after sea waves swept him away.
According to aU.S. Coast Guardreport, Parks and four friends were swimming in the ocean nearSun Splash Parkin Daytona Beach on Sunday morning lost grip of a friend’s hand.
He yelled for help but the waves swept him away and all attempts to find him proved abortive.
Rescue crews searched with a helicopter and jet skis for hours but could not locate Parks until his body was found on the beach shore.
The deceased's mother,Carolyn ParkstoldWESH 2that she cannot understand why he decided to swim in the ocean because he is not a good swimmer.
“I don’t know why it happened, why he would go into the water like this because he is not a good swimmer," she said.
"I had talked to him just before he came out here and he told me he was tired and was going to rest, not knowing he was going to come out here to the beach."
In a statement posted on the BCU Facebook page, the institution’sPresident, Edison O. Jackson, said the student's death is a 'sad moment'.
“This is a sad moment for our university. We never want to hear of a student losing their lives," Jackson said.
"I grieve not only as the president of B-CU, but more importantly as a parent. My condolences go out to

Young Hacker Police arrest 14-yr-old student for changing background of teacher's computer to kissing gays after stealing password

Police in Florida have arrested a teenage student who stole an administrative-level password to access his school's secure computer network and change a teacher's desktop background to an image of two men kissing.

A 14-year-old Florida student has been arrested and charged with felony hacking charges after he changed the background of a teacher's computer to photo of two men kissing using a stolen password.
Domanik Green, a student of Paul R. Smith Middle School in Holiday, committed the crime on Tuesday March 31 and was subsequently charged with felony offense against a computer system and unauthorized access.
According to Pasco County Sheriff,Chris Nocco, the teenager stole an administrative-level password to access his school's secure computer network.
Nocco told theTampa Bay Timesthat the student's action may be seen as a prank but it has more consequences.
"Even though some might say this is just a teenage prank, who knows what this teenager might have done," Nocco said.
Green said he learned the password, which is the teacher's last name, by watching a teacher type it in two years ago.
He toldWTSP-TVthat he would not have played the prank if anyone had told him it was illegal.
"If they would have notified me it was illegal, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. But all they said was, 'You shouldn't be doing that,'" he said.
His mother,Eileen Foster, said the charge levelled against her son was undeserving, noting that her son could have done more damage than just play a prank.
"He had the chance to get into the FCAT files, he had the chance to change grades, to do whatever you can do in the FCAT files and he didn't take it," she said.
"I think that alone proves he doesn't deserve a felony charge."
Green confessed that he played the prank on a teacher he doesn’t like.
He has been suspended for 10 days.

Bad grooming Students prevented from writing WASSCE due to overgrown hair and nails

Some eight students of the St. Johns Grammar Senior High School, inAchimota, were prevented from writing their papers in the ongoing West Africa Senior Secondary Certification Examinations.

The confidence of these students were completely shattered when they were sacked by their invigilators that their hair and nails were overgrown.
The affected students became extremely angry and could not understand why the authorities would subject them to what they termed as ‘inhumane treatment’ albeit they have a few days to leave the four walls of the school.
The students explained that, they stood outside the examination hall with the hope that they would be called after thirty minutes to write the papers but the authorities refused to allow them write the exams.

Niger Delta University ‘Lesbian’ cultists drug, brutalize 'born-again' 17-yr-old for refusing initiation

Suspected female cultists at the Niger Delta University brutalized a teenage student, allegedly because she refused to join their lesbian cult. They have been caught.

A 17-year-old student of the Niger Delta University (NDU) is recuperating after suspected female student-cultists attacked her for allegedly refusing to join their cult.

According to a Leadership report, the unnamed victim, a student of the institution's Economics Department, was attacked in her room at Hostel “F” of the institution around 4am last Tuesday.

She is rumoured to have become a target due to her strict Christian ways and refusal to accept their invitation to join the cult, alleged to be notorious for lesbianism and other vices.

A final year student of the Education Department, identified as Annabela, was said to have led the attack.

They allegedly injected their victim with an unidentified substance and subjected her to severe torture.
A source who identified herself asClairespoke toLeadershipabout the attack.

“She was tied to a chair and severely beaten by four girls. Her hair attachment was forceful removed and she was injected with substances that made her behave in a crazy manner for days," she said.

"When the attackers saw that the girl had fainted, they brought her out of the room in the early hours of morning, and they were apprehended.”

NDU'sStudents’ Senate Disciplinary Committeehas begun investigation into the incident and is expected to present its finding to the institution’s authorities.

9ja School Gist gathered that the victim father is also a lecturer at the institution.

ASUU has urged the Governing Council of the Lagos State University to reopen the institution and end the 'illegal' "election recess" imposed by embattled VC Obafunwa before the general elections.

Nearly one month after theLagos State University(LASU) was shut down for what the institution called "election recess", the local chapter of the chapter ofAcademic Staff Union of Universities(ASUU) has called for the resumption of activities.

The union appealed to the institution’s Governing Council to direct the reopening.
Embattled Vice Chancellor of the institution, Prof.John Obafunwa, had called for the “election recess” in a statement, asking students to vacate the university with immediate effect until a contrary announcement is made.
The elections have been concluded for over a week and no official resumption date has been announced.

In a related development, ASUU-LASU chairman, Dr.Adekunle Idris, has insisted that the vote of no confidence passed by the congress against the Vice Chancellor remains effective.
Idris, who went into hiding early April after alleging that the institution’s management plans to attack him with student cultists, advised parents to monitor their children and ensure that they are not used to ferment trouble.
Idris noted that the "election recess" aborted academic activities without Senate approval and is thus illegal in a university system, especially as all other universities in the country remained in session.

Muhammudu Buhari President-elect urged to abolish Government foreign scholarships

The Commonwealth Youth Council chairperson, Ahmed Adamu, has urged Nigeria’s president elect, Muhammudu Buhari, to abolish foreign scholarships in country when he assumes office May 29.

The Commonwealth Youth Councilchairperson,Ahmed Adamu, has urged Nigeria’s president elect,Muhammudu Buhari, to abolish foreign scholarships in country when he assumes office May 29.
According to Adamu who holds a PhD in economics, close to N100 billion is spent on foreign scholarships annually by Nigerian government which he claimed has caused over supply of Nigerian currency, triggering the continue decline of the value of the Nigerian Naira.

“This figure is extremely higher when adding the cost of other self-sponsored foreign education and I am using this medium to call on the Nigerian president elect to consider this as one of the immediate policy he will adopt in the first 100 days in office”.

He, in a statement issued on
Saturday from London said Nigerians and other internationals studying in UK contribute 2.3% to the GDP growth in UK and their patronages contribute 2.6% to the overall UK employment and maintained that the funds injected into foreign economies should be invested in Nigeria.

“How different are foreign Universities are from Nigerian Universities, you will talk about access to energy, IT, resources, facilities, conducive atmosphere, and efficiency. All these can be provided in all Nigerian Universities with the savings that will eventuate from abolishing foreign scholarships. If you divide N100 billion by the number of federal universities, you will see that each university will get N2.5 billion a year”.
He held that Nigerian universities can perform to the international standard if for five years N2.5 billion is injected in them annually and that those who were already trained abroad can teach in Nigerian universities.
The economist also said Buhari must cut down government expenditure by 50% in one year, increase bank rate and taxes and the extravagance and wastages during the political campaign had caused unnecessary inflation in Nigeria, which he claimed is now at 8.6% from 7.9% in November.
“The money in circulation must be controlled. It is commendable that the president-elect has proposed to reduce government overheads by proposing to scrap unnecessary political appointments.
“All the money saved from the austerity measures should be invested in manufacturing and industrial sectors as well as education, science and technology. Small skills labourers should have a coordinated wage system, so that cost of production can be predicted, and small skill labourers who contribute immensely to the economic growth will not be underpaid” he stated.

Woman withdraws 6-yr-old daughter from school because alleged sexual assault by another pupil

A mother has removed her six-year-old daughter from a primary school after she was allegedly sexually assaulted by a boy of the same age.

The girl was allegedly abused by the young pupil both in the playground and at the classroom of the school in Blackburn, Lancashire.
But the girl’s mother has criticised school bosses for an apparent lack of action, and says that they made her daughter ‘feel like she was in the wrong.’
Although police have confirmed that they received a report of the issue, they are effectively powerless – as the age of criminal responsibility in England is 10 years old.
Instead, Blackburn with Darwen Council are now working to support those involved with the allegations.

But the girl’s mum said there needed to be a change in law, as children were become increasingly ‘sexualised at a younger age’.
‘I informed the school and social services straight away, and rang the police’, she said.
‘I had to keep her off school because the school said it was appropriate for the boy to remain in classes.

‘They said they needed to speak to the boy’s parents and find out his side of the story.
‘My daughter didn’t really understand how bad it was. It has left her feeling very vulnerable. The way the school has acted makes her feel like she was in the wrong’.

A spokesman for Lancashire Police has confirmed that they received a report of sexual assault from the girl’s mother.

The reason why students fail Mathematics revealed

churned out in qualifying examinations across the country can attest to this fact. However, there are still quite a number who have excelled greatly in the subject. Prof. Mohammed Ibrahim is one of such.

Many students are not best friends with Mathematics. The statistics of mass failures churned out in qualifying examinations across the country can attest to this fact. However, there are still quite a number who have excelled greatly in the subject. Prof.

Mohammed Ibrahim is one of such. He has spent his whole life around the subject-studying it, teaching it, and teaching people studying to teach it. In this interview, the President of the Mathematics Association of Nigeria gives insights into why students fail mathematics.
Tell us about the Mathematics association of Nigeria?

It was established over 53years ago in Nigeria with branches across the thirty-six states of the federation and FCT. M.A.N boasts of over a hundred thousand active members nationwide being the oldest of Mathematical bodies across the nation.

Many students see Mathematics as a difficult subject, as a result, the mass failure of the subject in WASSCE, NECO, UTME and other qualifying examinations. Why do you think this is, and what can be done to improve the situation?

Mass failure of students in Mathematics may be attributed to many factors which can be categorised under two sub-headings namely; Teachers’ influence and Students’ mentality. Teachers’ influence in mass failure of Mathematics can result from poor teaching techniques, inability to make the subject practicable and simple, poor knowledge of the course and so on. Student’s however contributed immensely to mass failure of Mathematics due to apathy or hatred for the subject; Laziness/Lazy attitude to studying the subject; Seeing the subject as abstract or non-practicable; Working in isolation or neglecting group studies; Having a negative attitude towards the subject or the teacher; Lack of textbooks/teaching materials among others. The mass failure can be eradicated if the following measures amongst others can be taken by updating the teacher on new teaching techniques of the subject; equipping the library with recent and updated textbooks; making the learning environment conducive for both the teacher and the students/pupils; and making the learning of the subject practicable for the pupils to admire it.

Apart from some students’ apathy towards the subject, what other challenges are facing Mathematics in Nigeria?
Other challenges facing Mathematics education in Nigeria are the lack of qualified teachers, poor learning environments, lack of teaching materials/textbooks and small scale Mathematics competition among students.
Why is Mathematics important for every student?
Mathematics is important for every student because it is the bedrock of other subjects. Another thing to note is that adequate knowledge in Mathematics boosts reasoning faculty of students. Knowledge of Mathematics helps students to understand their environments better through thorough analysis of the existing fact.
These challenges can be surmounted by upgrading the standard of education through equipping each school with necessary textbooks, employing competent teachers for the subject and providing adequate infrastructural facilities for schools. Another area to be looked into is that of providing competitive platform for students to rub minds and grow; just like the Mathematics competitions I mentioned earlier. Improving the welfare of Mathematics teachers and giving scholarship to the best Mathematics students’ at all levels- primary, secondary and tertiary will serve an incentive for students to strive to do better.
What are the upcoming programmes of the Association?
We have our 52nd annual conference coming up between August 30 and September 1, this year. It is holding at the University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus, UNEC. The conference is themed: ‘Mathematics as a tool for research, governance and service to humanity.

Over 750 Computers Will Be Used For FUNAAB 2015 Post Utme

The Head, Information and Communication Technology Resource Centre (ICTREC) of The Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB)Dr. Olutayo Ajayi, has disclosed that with the recent conclusion of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), across the country, the University Management had put necessary machinery in place to ensure the smooth conduct of the Post-UTME.

According to Dr. Ajayi, the University would be expecting at least 15,000 candidates to take the electronic examination (e-exams), using about 750 computer systems for one week at three sessions per day. A future innovation plan is that the centre aims at ensuring that the examination be conducted within a shorter period of time, adding that probably by the time the University collaborated with some external testing centres, it would be possible for candidates from Lagos, the East or other distant places to write their examinations without necessarily coming to FUNAAB.
According to him, “by so doing, we will be able to finish what we hitherto used to do in a week in one or two days, giving us the opportunity to serve them better. Students can take the exams at their convenience, that is, very close to their domain, instead of having to travel down, because during the exams, we notice that people travel down, stay around the campus and the neighbouring communities loitering around. But all these will be eradicated if we begin to implement the new idea that we have”.

On his assessment of this year’s UTME result, being the first time that JAMB would be conducting a fully electronic exam, Dr. Ajayi said information reaching him on the performance of students of the University’s Institute of Human Resource Development (INHURD), indicated that the results were better than that of last year because almost all the students scored well above 200 points. He opined that the examination has come to stay because “people have invested so much on it and we found out that there was less malpractice and things went on well. Secondly, in a situation whereby an examination is conducted and within a short period, students can have access to their scores, I think this is a pointer that it is sustainable and so I don’t see it being stopped in the nearest future, but I see it being improved upon”. The way I look at it, the West African Examination Council (WAEC), might even come on board, whereby their examinations will be e-exams”.

The Head of ICTREC added that another innovation his Centre was proposing, would involve the introduction of a platform on the web, which will give room for candidates to go and practice past questions for a token fee so that by the time they sit for the exams, they would be more knowledgeable and have a feel of that examination. He said that although the candidates would have had some experience after taking the UTME, the JAMB platform was different from that of the University in terms of the software, he said.
Speaking on the security of the University platform for post-UTME, Dr. Ajayi said it was very secure because FUNAAB has a unique style of bringing its examination questions into the server room few hours before the exams, hence it is not possible to hack into an off-line platform, because it is local and is solely within the University. He also commended the adoption of the e-examination, stressing that it had added value to the nation’s system of examination. He said the e-examination enabled students to read more broadly, as they are tested with multiple choice questions, which could come from any part of the textbook or lecture notes, unlike the conventional way of using the normal testing, whereby people could just chose not to read a topic, adding that e-exams also made students to be computer-literate, because they would be forced to learn how to use the computer.
Concluding, Dr. Ajayi however disclosed that the national cut off point was yet to be determined by JAMB which will assist the University in choosing its own cut off mark and date for its Post-UTME.

Are you a Unical aspirant hopefully and patiently waiting for the forth coming Unical 2015/2016 POST-UTME examination?

Are you looking forward to the date of the Post-UTME and yet don’t have valid information as regard that?
If you have been surfing the internet for information on when University of Calabar 2015/2016 Post-UTME will hold and how to do your registration then I congratulate you because you are at the right place. And I assure you that this is the best thing that will ever happen to you in the history of your academic race as we will make everything easy for you and help you gain admission into University of Calabar this year.
So my advice for you is to read this Post from one line to the next and paragraph to paragraph because if you miss a single sentence in the article you might miss the most important information that will help you succeed.

University of Calabar Post-UTME is usually schedule exactly two months after the release of UTME result, the reason for the two months delay after UTME is simply because JAMB as a body regulating admission of all the University and tertiary institutions in Nigeria, including University of Calabar have to send the information of all the candidates that are eligible and qualified to partake in the post-UTME for that year to the various institutions before such institutions will go ahead to conduct post-UTME.
This normally take JAMB about two months to carry out. This information is contained in a list known as the MASTER LIST it bears the name, passport photograph and JAMB registration numbers of all candidates eligible to participate for post-UTME in that institution.
If by any means your name is not found on the list you are automatically disqualified and that means you have to wait for another year. That is why JAMB takes time to compile the list before sending it to the various schools and I believe you won’t mind waiting for two months after UTME rather than rushing and find your name missing in the master list.
DATE AND EXAMINATION VENUE FOR UNIVERSITY OF CALABAR 2015/2016 POST-UTME
University of Calabar Post-UTME last the duration of two (2) days, and the venues are arranged according to the departments and faculties. The venue and sitting arrangement will be posted on Unical official website about ten (10) days before the Post-UTME which I am going to help you with later.
Remember, I said the exercise will take two days, the venue and sitting arrangement will also be made available at the school main gate with directions on how to locate your venue so that you can identify your examination venue. You will be given 20minutes grace for those that are perpetual late comers.
So if you arrive your exam venue exactly 21 minutes after the commencement of the exam it means you have been disqualified and there is nothing you can do about it. If you know what is good for yourself you go to the school two hours before the commencement of your paper so that you can be familiar with the environment and easily find your way to your venue. Mind you, we start calling names and arranging all the candidates according to their sit number an hour (1hr) before the time scheduled to start the examination, so you just must be at the venue for at least one hour, 30 minutes (1:30 mins) before the commencement of the exam.
I know you are curious and anxiously waiting for when I will mention when the University of Calabar Post-UTME for 2015/2016 academic session will hold. For now there is no date yet and I believe I’ve explain why the date has not been fixed yet, as regards JAMB list and others.
In no distance time the school will make a public announcement via the school website and news papers to inform the public on the date of the University of Calabar Post-UTME.
THE BRUTAL TRUTH ON WHAT YOU MUST DO AND HOW TO GAIN ADMISSION INTO UNICAL THIS YEAR.
Most people, including your very self make this huge mistake of believing that you can easily write and pass Unical Post-UTME because you passed UTME. It doesn’t work that way. There is a very big difference between UTME and POST-UTME, most especially Unical post-UTME. In JAMB UTME questions are set in line with your secondary school strategy and marking scheme, but in Post-UTME the questions are not set in line with your secondary school scheme and the marking scheme is totally different.
The question will be so confusing that even if you know the answer to the questions you will not be too sure if you are Wright or wrong, because it will be coined in a logical manner that require your logic reasoning. Normally you will be required to answer only twenty (20) questions on the day of your examination. The twenty questions equal 400 marks, which means each question equals 20 marks.
If you fail 10 marks out of twenty because of how confusing the questions are it means automatic failure. Why do I say so? Unical Post-UTME is different from all other school’s Post-UTMEs because it is very easy to fail. In some other schools what they use is only the Post-UTME result, but in Unical your post-UTME score will be added to your JAMB score and it will now be divided by two.
ADMISSION PROBABILITY POST-UTME SCORE + JAMB SCORE/2
The result of the above formula is called the Average score. Your average score is what will determine whether you merit the admission or not.
The only way to prepare for Unical 2015/2016 Post-UTME is to get the UNICAL POST-UTME PAST QUESTIONS AND ANSWER MANUAL. It contains all the questions of all the Post-UTME s held in University of Calabar since the inception of Post-UTME. With the past question I guaranty you 100% success at the end of your examination.
Another mistake that most of you make is that you don’t make hay while the sun shine, you like looking for miracle at the eleventh hour. What I mean is that you don’t do the right thing early; you do it late, when all hope is almost lost.
Some of you know that you need the past question but you will wait until the week you are going to write the Unical Post-UTME before you get it and at the end of the day you find yourself not performing well in the exam despite the fact that you have the past question. The truth is; there is no how you can perform excellently well when you get the past question at the die minute.
You must have covered the past question for at least three times before the examination, with that I can assure you that you will pass well and merit your admission on your own without having to stress yourself.
You may be wondering why I am laying more emphasis on this. Last year I had about seven hundred (700) candidates and I ask each and every one of them to obtain the past question early, but most of them think I was preaching while some got it early and start preparing for the exam, and the rest of them got it very late.
After the Post-UTME only five percent (5%) out of all the 700 candidates were able to merit admission and those were the people that got the past question early. The rest just wasted their money, time and effort to come for the Post-UTME and go back home while i later help about 70% of the rest of them to gain admission by follow ups and logistics.
These are the category of candidates that are financially buoyant. They pay huge amount of money before they could gain admission which they would have avoid if the got the past question earlier.
And as for those that does not have the money to run their admission, they lost hope and promise to prepare well the next year, and now they have been calling me to help them to obtain the past question even before they wrote JAMB.
If you are wise you will make sure you get the past question now and start reading intensively ahead. What will it profit you if you are not prepared and you come and write the exam and fail after spending all your money and precious time?
Let not your heart be troubled as we are here to help you with everything it takes for you to gain admission into University of Calabar this year
