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.

Buhari Addresses NYSC Members At Swearing-In Ceremony

President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday addressed members of the NYSC urging them to cooperate with his government in the fight against corruption. And not only.


The country leader spoke on June 4, Thursday, at the National Youths Service Corps orientation camp in Iyana-Ipaja, Lagos state, Vanguard reports.

Buhari delivered speech through Akinwunmi Ambode, Lagos state governor, who was on his part represented by aide Aderemi Desalu.

Buhari stressed the importance of the occasion, which was the first swearing-in of the NYSC members for one-year service under his administration.

“My dear compatriots, the time has come for us as responsible citizens to come to terms with the prevailing realities in our national life. Without doubt, the current situation in our country calls for unity, commitment and hard work to help its development.

“As we have promised Nigerians, my administration will soon unveil a comprehensive National Youths Empowerment Programme, anchored on the model provided by the NYSC scheme, our goal is to comprehensively address youth unemployment, insecurity and other social vices prevalent among our youths.

“Let me assure you all that change for us is not just a political slogan, it is the dawn of new order, sough for by majority of our people. The true change we desire must start with everyone of us, especially you, the Nigerian youths.

“On our part, we are prepared and determined to lead the nation with sincerity of purpose. We will continue to support and encourage corps members and the NYSC scheme by quick intervention and fulfilment of statutory obligations at all tiers of government.

“Corps members must be ready to participate fully and join hands with all Nigerians to fight the scourge of corruption. I call on you to cultivate the spirit of hard work and selfless service.”

Five Die After Attending Naming Ceremony In Lagos

Five people have been killed in the Ajah area of Lagos state by unknown hoodlums suspected to be working for a political party in the state.


According to Punch report, the victims were returning from a naming ceremony on June 3, Wednesday, when the hoodlums waylaid them and opened fire on their bus.

They also slit the throats of some of the bus occupants with cutlasses and knives.

Those who lost their lives were identified as Ganiyu Lawal, aka Ebe; Idris Kolapo; Samsudeen Osoja, aka Songa; Rafiu, aka Ralph; and Ladi.


The building, and three of the victims Kolapo, Songa, Lawal

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).

Trouble was said to have started on Sunday when Seego and the leader of a rival gang, Tunde (aka Yellow) met at a function. “During the event, he sighted Yellow and asked him to bow to him. When the latter refused, he became angry and ordered his boys to deal with him. Yellow was beaten and his clothes torn by Songa, who works for Seego,” a source said.

Another source identified as Pepe John said, on the day of the incident, the wife of one of the boys in Ajah had a naming ceremony and men from Seego’s group went there to party.

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.

7-feet Cobra Scares Students At ABU Hostel

Palpable fear has gripped the students of  Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria following a 7-feet long cobra sneaked into Room 49, scaring students of the hostel.



An eyewitness, who did not want his name in print, confirmed that the snake was seen shortly after Isha’i prayer by a student lying on his bed.
“The snake might have come through the thick bush at the back of the hostel,” he said.
The snake was killed through the combined efforts of the occupants of the room and others.


A student, Mr. Ibrahim, said: “It’s a sad event, just a coincidence people will say. But one of the factors that could be responsible for the development is the lack of light in the hostel.
“It would have been disastrous had the cobra bitten somebody. I am appealing for constant supply of electricity to hostels.”
Another student, Ben, residing at ICSA, added: “The ICSA/RAMAT Hostel is located at the outskirt of the school and surrounded by bush. One would not have expected this kind of snake, very big snake, to sneak into our room.”
He appealed to the school authority to guard against similar incidence.
“Although, the management has been doing its best to ensure constant electricity supply to hostels, more needs to be done,” he said.

UNN Students Feared Dead In Nasty Car Accident

The University of Nigeria, Nsukka has been thrown into mourning following the death of some students who lost their lives in a horror road smash.

The students as gathered by liveschoolnews.com.ng were traveling home after the University authorities ordered them out of hostels.

It would be recalls that the University was suddenly shut down on Monday, a move believed to have been aimed at averting a planned riot by the students who had suffered acute water scarcity for over three weeks.



The gory incident occurred at the Nsukka-9th Mile Express way.

Although the Enugu State Police Command put the death figure at three, eyewitness account said the number is higher.

In a statement by the spokesman of the Enugu State Police Command, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, DSP, he said “three persons have been confirmed dead while five others sustained various degrees of injuries”.

He added that “the auto crash, involves a diesel truck with registration number AWK 311 XB, which is believed to have lost control as a result of suspected brake failure and had hit two buses with registration numbers UWN 406 XA and UWN 57 XA and also a motorcycle.

“The injured are being attended to at our Saviour Hospital, 9th Mile corner Ngwo, while the dead bodies are also deposited at the same hospital mortuary”.

A student, who was traveling when the accident occurred blamed the University authority for the development.

“It was very sad to see our fellow students die like that; we were chased out of school and now they have also been forced out of the world. This would not have occurred if we were not ordered out of school”, he lamented.

NYSC Members Recruited For Prostitution In Minna

Disgusting report reveals how a cartel in Minna, the Niger State capital, has turned National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) orientation camp into a recruitment ground for “young prostitutes.”

The cartel, according to findings, consists of elitist group; politicians, journalists with the active connivance of some NYSC officials, who approve the requests of the cartel to post selected female Corps members to a particular government agency, boards and parastatals.

The unsuspecting female Corps members soon succumb to their wishes after promises of not only posting them to Government House or choice areas with mouth-watering incentives, including furnishing house for them to stay throughout the duration of their one year national service for sexual satisfaction.



Selected/recruited Corps members by the cartel from the Paiko NYSC Camp are always included on the list of those posted to serve in the Protocol Department, Government House to cover their tracks, the source said.

As a way of rewarding the girls, parties to celebrate birthdays by each of them are organised if they wished, end of their service year is usually celebrated for them as they are quickly replaced with new intakes almost immediately by the cartel, the source said.

To avoid the prying eyes of unsuspecting public, the male partners under the cover of being part of the Government House Corpers’ lodge behind the Idris Legbo Kutigi International conference centre, Minna visit their partners in the unholy act at odd hours.

Investigations reveal that the dislodgement of the journalists and their politician collaborators from the Government House Corpers’ Lodge began when they started having issues among themselves and their activities became an open secret. This, the source said, almost cost one of the protocol officers in government house his job.

Reacting to the developments in an interview, Niger State NYSC coordinator, Mr. Steven Ehoda-Adi, said that he was not aware of any such cartel existing in the state.

Steven however told our correspondent that the NYSC in the state ensures proper documentations for Corps members deployed to government and recognized corperate organizations when it becomes absolutely necessary with reasons in accordance with the laws establishing the NYSC.

Steven however added that the NYSC has little or no control over the private life of Corps members. He said, “I am not aware of any cartel recruiting Corps members for the purpose of prostitution. I am rather shocked hearing that some of your colleagues, journalists are actively involved in this unholy act”.

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.
