WAEC Official Says CBT Not Feasible for Now

West African Examinations Council, WAEC will not be adopt Computer Based Test (CBT) mode due to lack of some variables that are necessary for the adoption. “Problems such as inadequacy of internet connectivity and constant electricity in the country, especially in rural areas, would make such a venture almost impossible.”



The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) on Tuesday said that it would not adopt the Computer Based Test (CBT) mode fully for now, considering the variables involved in conducting its examinations.

WAEC’s Head of National Office (HNO), Dr Charles Eguridu, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that the CBT mode being demanded by some people was not feasible for now.

NAN reports that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB-) had, during its 2015 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) recently, migrated fully to the CBT mode.

JAMB said that it migrated to the CBT mode to eradicate impersonation and other forms of examination malpractice.

According to Eguridu, those making the call are ignorant of the socioeconomic variables that are necessary for the adoption of the CBT for WAEC examinations.

He said: “WAEC examinations involve the use of multiple choice questions, essay and practical, in which case we test various domains of learning.

“And with this, it is not going to be valid to test certain domains of learning with CBT.

“Or can you use CBT in measuring proficiency in certain trade subjects such as carpentry and others? ’’

The official said that the inadequacy of internet connectivity and constant electricity in the country, especially in rural areas, would make such a venture almost impossible.

Eguridu said that the huge capital outlay that would be required to provide computers and its accessories for every candidate nationwide makes the cost of the venture prohibitive.

“All what I am trying to explain here is that it will not be possible for us to adopt the CBT mode for our examinations at least for now.

“Probably what we will do as an organisation is to adopt the CBT for certain aspects of our examination and not all the areas.

“ We are already trying to work out something based on that,’’ he said.

7 Important Things Women Want You To Do In Bed

It is easy for men to focus on the act of receiving pleasure when it comes to intimacy, but the things that can make a girl truly swoon can be very surprising.


If you are not doing these things listed below, then you are most probably not satisfying her the way she expects:

1. Foreplay: A woman needs to get adequately turned-on before the actual sex begin. While a man is usually always ready for action without preamble, a woman needs some time to warm up. She would be completely grateful if you take the time to please her through means like dirty talking, kissing, touching and so on. When she is ready, you would know it, and it would become a better experience between the both of you

2. Comfort: Another way to make sure she is satisfied is when you give her an opportunity to relax and let go. A woman needs to get comfortable with herself and what she is about to do for her to be able to give you her best. Make sure you consider her comfort level. Avoid situations that would leave her feeling pressured or nervous

3. Take Your Time: Making love to a woman often requires a lot of patience. Be in control of her pleasure and avoid rushing her through the process

4. Know Her Body: The difference between good and bad sex, for women, usually comes down to ability to listen to her body. While pleasuring her, remember to keep notes of what she likes. When you do hit the right spot, keep going until you are sure she is completely under your control. Be sure to focus on her as much as yourself (even more) and work with the cues she provides

5. Use Your Tongue: Never underestimate the power of the tongue during intimacy. A lot of women usually do not orgasm from penetration alone but most women would swear by a good tongue action being their ticket to achieving climax. Ravish her with your hands and tongue and she would find it very difficult to say no to being with you.

6. Ladies First: Speaking of orgasm, a truly great sex partner makes sure his lady achieve the ultimate peak of pleasure before he does. There is nothing as disappointing to a lady as leaving her hanging after you have attained your own pleasure. If you have issues lasting long in bed, find other ways to love her that would leave her feeling satisfied before you shift the focus on yourself.

7. Be A Gentleman: Instead of just turning over and going to sleep after the act, take a moment to cuddle her, compliment her and basically make her feel good about what you both just did. No woman wants to be left feeling like a used piece of meat after sex.

It is discovered that most men do not take their time to know their kind of woman before going intimate with them and as a result, most relationships do not last as most men becomes selfish, when they are in bed.

Do You Know There's Now A Competition For Virgins In Nigeria?

In a world where so many things have been taken for granted, it has been made known that there is now a competition for virgins.


Lagos state born Princess Adunni Adediran who has always had a thing for influencing the society is obviously full of great ideas. The successful businesswoman, mother and philanthropist who will be clocking 70 in few months to come spoke to Vanguard about her project called ‘Nigerian Virgin Girls’. The project is geared at rewarding chastity among young girls in Nigeria.
Read excerpts below:

How did celebrating virgins come about?

At a point, I started thinking of our old people in this country, so I published ‘Fragile Fit’, a magazine that was dealing with weak limbs of the elderly. Alhaji Lateef Jakande loved it and said the publication was even over due. As I was doing that, I dreamt 11 times where I organised ‘Recognising and encouraging the virgins in Nigeria’. That is how I started the project in 2007.

Why has there not been consistency in organising the annual event?

I spoke to the who-is-who in this country for sponsorship such Princess Erelu Dosunmu, Late Ambassador Segun Olusola and many others. A lot of them indicated their interest to help but we did not get sponsors except for the owner of Emily Millionaire cosmetics, Joe Brown, who was giving us cosmetics.

Rado was giving us wrist watches to distribute to the virgins. The one that really touched me was the help we got from the former Arch Bishop of Lagos, Diocese, Olubumni Okogie (rtrd). I am glad he appreciated that we are doing something good.

We wrote a letter to the Lagos State Government but didn’t receive a reply but they gave us the Banquet Hall where the event took place. Financially, an important personality in the Lagos State Government gave us N250,000 in 2009. We would also like to collaborate with NACA. This project is supposed to be a collective responsibility of every Nigerian.

In spite of the challenges we are facing in organising the annual celebration, a lot of virgins came from Enugu, Aba, Delta, Onitsha, Port Harcourt, Lagos, Kaduna, Kano and Abuja. I even sold my house in Ikorodu, Lagos to host and encourage virgins. We also got threatening phone calls from some highly placed men in society threatening to kill me if I did not stop celebrating virgins. They said I am disturbing their fun.


So what changed your mind?

For years, I was walking like a living corpse because I could not continue to host the annual event for virgins. It is unfortunate.

To see a virgin in the modern day Nigeria is not common. How do you ascertain their virginity?

A gynaecologist, Dr. Naheem-Deen Ekemode, who has practised for more than 40 years, was doing that for us. Within a second, he will know whether someone is a virgin or not but some parents started frowning about it.

But are there still virgins amongst ladies of marriageable age?

I have virgins even in my home. My own daughter got married as a virgin at 29. There are many virgins in this country but they are shy to come out because their wayward friends mock at them. They call them fools because they want to spoil their lives before marriage and there is nothing more interesting and good one would be proud of than keeping one’s virginity. In fact, God loves it because I heard the voice several times, urging me to go and encourage virgins and I will not stop it till my demise.

Most men complain that marrying a virgin gives them concern. To them, it is like relating with somebody who cannot satisfy them sexually.

They are saying it because they are in doubt of the authenticity of our claim that there are still virgins. They know that if they marry a virgin, they have assurance that they are marrying somebody who has not tampered with her womb or who has not contracted sexually transmitted diseases. You cannot compare used engine with a brand new one. Men are not realistic. All these they are talking that it is difficult to get virgins is not true. Some men will use these girls, de-flower some of them and at the end of the day, they will jilt them and run after another girl.

We are in year of 21st Century with internet associated sexual activities. How do we check that?

Our business is to encourage virginity, to wake up parents and tell them to make a change in life of a girl in their hands. It is like Sodom and Gomorrah. Men will do it and go free, although some of them will contract virgins and won’t be able to impregnate their wife. Men too should remain virgins till they marry. In pre-marital sex, men will waste important children including presidents in their body before getting married.

What do you teach these girls?

How to keep away from the prying eyes of their uncles, teachers, lecturers and friends. We will teach them how to minimise going to places where they will put something in their drink and rape them.

But how long can one remain a virgin?

It is not good to remain a virgin till above 30 years. When you are in your 20s, pray and ask God to give you a husband. Don’t go in the late hours. I have a 21-year-old virgin living with me. I always advise her to keep her virginity.

Have you ever been challenged because of this project?

I have got a lot of embarrassing questions and comments but I am not perturbed.

Some people sent me text messages and some of them called me and said that I am crazy. One of them said, “Why are you blocking us from enjoying the virgins God made available for us?”

What are the criteria for winning the first prize at the Miss Virginity Contest?

The intellectual prowess, legs, faces and carriage are parts of the criteria. We are more interested in the beauty from inside so we want to know how intelligent they are.

What advice do you have for ladies in Nigeria?

If you are a virgin, remain so until you are married. If you are not, put a stop to having sex till you get married. If you have been cheated by an opposite sex, take heart.

We want to catch them young and make sure that some sexually transmitted diseases are reduced to the barest minimum in Nigeria. They are doing it in Ghana, South Africa, Japan and so on.

I want Nigerians to come together and help curb sex before marriage to save our future.

Five others managed to escape with injuries.

The deceased and survivors were said to be working with the Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, Oyebanji branch, Lagos Island, Alhaji Mustapha Adekunle (aka Seego).

He said: “As they left after the party, a group of boys shot at their vehicle. They entered the bus and started slashing their throats.”

The head of Songa, who beat up Yellow, was reportedly cut off by the attackers and they took the head away with them, but left the other corpses.

Those who managed to escape later identified their identified their alleged attackers to include Tunde Yellow, Small Kuramo, Sharon, Abbas, Olokodana, Ade, Ibafo John, Orji Mass, Baba Raji and one Ejo Ilaje.

The incident led to chaos in the area as more than 100 hoodlums took to the street on Thursday, searching for the men for their alleged involvement in the killings. They burnt properties, firing shots in the air.

The police later arrived and were said to be arresting innocent people.

Confirming the incident, Kenneth Nwosu, the police public relations officer, said only two people died while three others sustained injuries.
