UNILORIN VC Says Varsities will Stop Post UTME Provided ……

Post UTME will become a thing of the past if the computer-based examination conducted by JAMB continued to be efficient, says UNILORIN VC.


Vice-Chancellor, University of Ilorin, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali

The Vice Chancellor of the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN), Prof. Abdulganiyu Ambali, during an interactive session with journalists in Ilorin yesterday has said that universities in the country may review their position on the post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination if the current computer-based examination continued to be efficient.

Ambali said, “The University of Ilorin was the first to start CBT and I am glad that it is being embraced nationwide, especially by JAMB.

“So, let us give JAMB a couple of trials and once the board restores confidence in the system, many universities may review the need for their post-JAMB. But in the meantime, we will continue to watch JAMB to see how consistent it would be in handling its CBT.”

MUST READ: 5 Things You Must Do If You Have Unprotected Sex

Unprotected sex is sexual intercourse without the use of a barrier method of contraception. This can be either the male or the female condom. Unprotected sexual intercourse increases the risk of contacting/ transmitting HIV, STD and unwanted pregnancy. I have seen a lot of people overwhelmed with anxiety after having unprotected sexual intercourse with some indulging in acts that does not only sound ridiculous but also increases their chance of contacting STD or even affecting their health adversely. Douching is one of such. Generally, women are discouraged from douching because it alters the normal bacteria flora of the vagina which keeps it healthy and free from invading pathogens. If you douche after sex, it increases the chance of contacting STD and it doesn’t prevent pregnancy and HIV infection.

Myths like ingestion of herbal medicines, insertion of caustic soda, ingesting OTCs like ampicillin and aspirin have not been proven scientifically to be effective in preventing unwanted pregnancies and infection with STD. In this article, we will review on things you must do if you have unprotected sex.



1. Take Emergency contraceptive pills

This is one of the surest ways of preventing unwanted pregnancy after having unprotected sexual intercourse. You will have to take emergency contraceptives in form of emergency contraceptives pills. Emergency contraceptive pills also referred to as morning after pills are is used to prevent pregnancy. There can be obtained with a doctor’s prescription or as an over the counter drug (OTC) in drug stores. A commonly used form of EC is Postinor 2® which is taken within 72 hours after having unprotected sexual intercourse. It contains Levonorgestrel which is a synthetic form of a female reproductive hormone that prevents implantation hence pregnancy doesn’t occur.

2. Ask for an Intra-Uterine Device (IUD)

If after 72 hours, then you must contact your health care provider for an emergency IUD. IUD is tiny rod-like devices inserted into the uterus (womB-) by your doctor. There distort cervical mucus and prevents the implantation of the egg. If inserted properly and within 5 days, it is highly effective with an efficacy rate of about 98%. It is important to note that EC and IUD don’t give any protection nor prevent STD and HIV infection.

3. Test for STD and HIV

Fears of infection with STD or the dreaded killer disease HIV is heightened after unprotected sexual intercourse. It is mandatory that you test to screen for STD and HIV. If possible, such test should be conducted with your sexual partner. STD to be tested for includes Hepatitis B and C, gonorrhea, syphilis and chlamydia. This can be carried out with blood samples or via a vaginal/ penile swab. However, results gotten from an early test are inconclusive hence test must be repeated after 6 months for cases of HIV and Hepatitis. Testing after having unprotected sexual intercourse allays fear/ anxiety and increases the chance of early diagnosis, prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted disease.

4. Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)

PEP is essential after a high risk unprotected sexual intercourse. This includes cases of rape by an unknown assailant, sexual intercourse with an individual living with HIV or unprotected sexual intercourse with a partner with known multiple sexual partners. You must visit a health facility that provides such services and after counseling and series of test, you will be commenced on PEP for a duration of one month. The drugs have been noted to be 99% effective in preventing HIV if commenced within 72 hours. PEP provides protection against HIV but not to other STD. However, you will have to do another HIV test after 6 months to be declared free from the deadly disease.

5. Keep calm and watch for symptoms

Unprotected sex may happen unexpectedly or as a result of carelessness from both partners. Once it has occurred, there is little of no need for panic. You should keep calm and watch out for symptoms after undergoing the initial screening test for STD and HIV. Symptoms make take 2 weeks or more to manifest. If after unprotected sex, you begin to experience vaginal itching, vaginal or penile discharge, severe burning pain on urinating, sores or ulcers around your external genitals then it is advisable that you consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

FEMALE CORPS MEMBER MISSING AFTER ROBBERY ATTACK

Impersonation: 88 Post-UTME Candidates Under Prosecution

Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, UNIZIK revealed that 88 post UTME candidates are being prosecuted, other 400 on the run.
During the last post UTME conducted by the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka (UNIZIK), about 88 candidates were arrested by the university and handed over to the police for alleged impersonation. The arrested 88 are being prosecuted in Anambra State.

The university’s Vice Chancellor, Prof. Joseph Ahaneku, stated this, on Monday June 1, 2015 while briefing journalists on achievements of his administration within one year in office.
He said the candidates were arrested by the university and handed over to the police that were now prosecuting them, adding that about 400 candidates who had come to impersonate during the examination were on the run.
“We had to track down the impersonators because we have upgraded our admission process. We have digitized almost everything by introducing biometric machine which we will continue to bring sanity not only in our admission process but in controlling our students,” he said.
To ensure early release of results to students, the vice chancellor said the authorities of the institution resolved that lecturers who failed to release their result to students after one month of the examination would forfeit their salaries.
Ahaneku further stated that the university had not increased school fees for students and did not intend to do so, adding that the issue of hostel accommodation was being tackled headlong.

Boko Haram, Religious Intolerance Check radical Muslim clerics, UNILAG lecturer urges NSCIA

A lecturer at theUniversity of Lagos(UNILAG), Dr. Tajudeen Yusuf, has urged theNigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs(NSCIA) to always monitor the activities of radical Muslim clerics.
Yusuf, who was delivering the pre-Ramadan lecture organised by theFountain University, Osogbo(FUO), said clerics with radical views that may be contrary to Islamic teachings and inimical to national development should be checked.
He said the NSCIA should encourage Muslim clerics to promote religious tolerance in the interest of unity and harmony, noting that it was the failure of Islamic leaders in to check such individuals who spread dangerous views that caused the emergence of the Boko Haram sect.
"What brought about the Boko Haram?" he asked.
"It is lack of leadership. Anybody can just say anything or teach anything,
"Everybody turned themselves into Muslim clerics, nobody cautioned them."

He noted that the effect of the activities of such dangerous clerics is suffered by everyone.
"But when the Boko Haram came, didn't they kill Muslims?

"People were praying inside mosques and they opened fire on them.
"Leadership failure brought about the emergence of Boko Haram."
The don also called on clerics to make comments statements on political, economic and religious issues at every time, not just during the Ramadan period.
Yusuf teaches at UNILAG's Department of Actuarial and Insurance.

FRAUD ALERT: Advice to Desperate Admission Seekers

Several “desperate” admission seekers have lost billions of naira to fraudsters who use the internet to dupe them. Studies have shown that the group of people that is most susceptible to internet fraud is the desperate or the greedy. While the desperate would go to any length to get what they want, including parting with the little resources at their disposal at any point in time, the greedy ones are forever obsessed with the acquisitive tendency until they are dispossessed, in the process, of huge financial and/or investment assets.

Cloned websites which scammers present as that of most sought-after Nigerian Universitiesare now live as Post-UTME of various public universities are about to start. An unfortunate scenario is currently playing out whereby some candidates have been made to part with as much as N25, 000 each ostensibly to be eligible to take part in the post-UTME screening test of some universities! On this phantom site, the applicants were told that their respective institutions of choice had released the cut-off mark for the 2015/2016 admission exercise and advised to start “processing” their applications.

Note of Warning to Admission Seekers.
No public varsities in Nigeria will ask you to pay “processing fee” for admission. The only pre-admission charge is very meager and it is for registration for the post-UTME test. It’s always between N1,500 – N5,000. And in any case, it will not be paid into an individual’s personal bank account.
It is obvious that it is this allure and desperation by admission seekers to enter the University that scammers have continually exploited. However, prospective candidates and their parents and guardians should not allow this allure to becloud their sense of reasoning to the extent of falling cheaply for fraudsters!
Want to be the first to know when your institution(s) of choice released the 2015/2016 post UTME screening application form? Bookmark and keep checking ‘ MySchoolGist Post UTME Updates Page‘.
