5 Reasons Why Nigerians Are So Religious

An average Nigerian is a very religious person. It is common place to find most Nigerians spend a productive part of their day in the church or at the mosque. Nigeria as been rated as one of the most religious nations in the world and to think that this very religious nations also ranks as one of the most corrupt in the world leaves any logical mind in confusion. A lot of people (even Nigerians themselves) may have wondered why Nigerians love religion so much! In helping the curious minds, INFORMATION NIGERIA in his piece brings you 5 reasons why this is so…
Religion is an escape: The Nigerian state is structured in a way that it offers no alternatives for its people. With high unemployment rates, improper social amenities, family and societal struggles, the church or mosque becomes an escape for the average Nigerian.
Motivational institution: Church/religion in Nigeria has become some sort of motivational institutes. Pastors are usually more of motivational speakers thank they are preachers of the good news. Because the state of Nigeria has left many downtrodden, they find succor in the motivational talks even though they know it only edify their body, not their soul.
Miracles: Nigerians are always in constant search for miracles. With horrible health facilities and high cost of hospital bills and medication, religion have been the last resort. Nigerians will gladly troop to churches and mosques or any other religious outfit that offer miracles to heal their diseases which would have cost a fortune to heal by doctors.
Laziness: People nowadays do not want to work, they just want to go to use religion as a front to make easy cash. For Christians, they would rather fast and pray 7 days of the week than go out and make a living and earn their daily bread.
Societal pressures: The pressure from the society to be prosperous like our mates, be married at a certain age and so on, has driven many Nigerians to become religious. You see religious leaders promising husband to unmarried ladies or the prospect of finding one in their religious gathering if only you would join and be loyal and committed.

Kwara Poly Student Shot Dead By Suspected Cult Members

Report reaching us confirmed that a National Diploma (ND) II student of Kwara state Polytechnic, Ilorin was on Monday evening shot death by suspected cultists.

9ja School Gist Team gathered that the victim was a suspected member of another rival cult group.
It was reported that the victim was shot at a far distance without any effect on him, a development that reportedly prompted the ‎assailants to chase and grab him and then fired several gun shots on his head to kill him and then ran away.

The security guards on duty were said to have quickly alerted the police who immediately came to the scene of the incident to carry the remains of the ND2 student away and deposit it at the mortuary of the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital that same monday night.

The Registrar of the Polytechnic, Pastor Moses Salami, who confirmed the development, said that since the incident happened on Monday the men of the Nigeria Police and that of the Directorate of the State Security Service had been mounting surveillance on the campus to check likely reprisal attacks.

“It’s true that after the staff have closed for work on Monday around 7.30pm, we learnt that one ND2 student was shot dead and the police was immediately alerted.

“They arrived the scene of the incident and took his corpse away to University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital. Since then, the security agencies have been coming to our campus to investigate the incident”, he said.

Also, the Police Public Relations Officer in Kwara state, Ajayi Okasanmi, confirmed the development, saying however that he was yet to be officially briefed.

“Yes, I heard that a student was killed in the Kwara state Polytechnic on Monday, but I’m yet to be officially briefed”.

Beware!! Doing This On The Internet Can Send You To Prison – NCC

The Nigerian communications Commission (NCC) has warned Nigerians that the cyberspace is not aan venue to promote hatred as there are laws guiding against such.
This was made known by Mr Tony Ojobo, the director of public affairs of the commission on Monday, February 22 during a discussion on what the new media has to do with cybercrime act.
The programme which was part of the week-long Social Media Week was geared towards examining the issue of cybercrime and how it affects the new media.
Ojobo who was part of the discussant explained that a lot of laws were available which internet users have failed to familiarize themselves with.
He noted that people misuse the cyberspace by making xenophobic, comments, hate speech which are contrary to what is allowed.
He cited an example that if a person receives contents that contained child pornography and shares with other persons using the internet; the person is likely to go to prison even though he did not produce the material.
Speaking with naij.com, The NCC public affairs director encouraged the use of the cyberspace with sense.
“Developed countries don’t want regulation of the internet but it is necessary in developing countries to prevent cyber-crimes.
Nigerians are not reading the law which is why media users, bloggers and journalist are sometimes sent to prison when they don’t get their facts right.”
Ojobo explained that the laws were not there to deny Nigerians their freedom of expression but to prevent people from inciting hatred.

WAEC to Commence CBT Examination Mode Soon

West African Examinations Council, WAEC perfecting plans to migrate into the Computer Based Test (CBT) mode for its examinations.

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) is considering migrating to the Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode of examinations for it examinations, the Registrar disclosed in Lagos.

The Registrar of council, Dr Iyi Uwadiae, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.

According to him, the council is considering all variables available to ensure that the entire process is not messed up.

He, however, noted that the council was not in a hurry to migrate because the council basically conducts achievement tests and not selection tests.

“We have looked at the issue of CBT and found that this is not a selection test, where one can deal with paper and pencil.

“With that, you can easily migrate to CBT, but for an achievement test where you train people to become engineers, medical doctors and others, there will be need for practical experience.

“So, they do not just train them practically in the class, they equally need to be tested on theory.

“Again this background, therefore, we are collaborating with other examination bodies and experts outside Nigeria to ensure that when we start, we will not mess up the entire process.

“And what is expected of the candidates can still be achieved,’’ he said.

Uwadiae noted that the council was being cautious in getting it done because there were many things involved.

“We are not in a hurry to move in there but with time, we are going to migrate into it and start with the objective tests.

“We have to still do the practical aspect because we want to be sure that all schools are on the same level.

“They must be on the same level in terms of learning and all other aspects so that we can be able to have confidence on the reliability of the continuous assessment and practicals, which their teachers will give us.

“For now, we cannot say what we get from these teachers are reliable as we insist on continuous assessment.

“We need to go to these schools and match them against any standard tests,’’ the registrar said.

On the persistent poor performance of candidates, Uwadiae said the issue was not peculiar to Nigeria alone.

He noted that effective teaching and learning were no longer taking place in schools, coupled with the issue of dearth of infrastructure.

According to him, students seldom stay in the classrooms; they spend more time on the internet and do not read and all that.

He explained that such students were not expected to perform miracles during examinations.

“We compare our standards with that of other examination bodies in Nigeria and internationally and so we cannot lower our standards.

“Our examinations are taken by candidates of five different countries and it is the same examination.

“We have our own internal mechanism, as well as a very functional research outfit.

“For every examination, we do a research to find out why candidates perform poorly and if after this, we still have some doubts, we do what is called post item analysis.

“Invariably we find out that our items are not bad.

“The teachers are the ones who set the questions, moderate and mark them; we only collate and release results as adjudged by the experts,’’ the council boss added. (NAN)

LASU students clash with touts - The Nation Nigeria

Students of the Lagos State University (LASU) yesterday clashed with motor park touts (Agbero) at Iyana-Iba, on Lagos-Badagrt Expressway. This is even as the LASU Students Union prepares to conduct the union election today.
The row, which had subsided as at the time of filing this report, allegedly triggered traffic snarl on Volkswagen/Okokomaiko and Iyana-Iba/Igando, leaving many motorists stranded for hours. Others were forced to trek long distances.
A worker in the varsity’s Physics Laboratory who pleaded for anonymity told our reporter that the agbero prevented buses branded in the students’union logo from operating yesterday owing to what the drivers of those vehicles consider as outrageous levies being charged by the agbero on daily basis. The case was reported to the students who in anger stormed the park to release the vehicles back to the drivers.
Mr Adekoya Ademola of the university’s information unit confirmed the incident, adding that no injury was recorded.
“It was just a little issue,”Ademola said.“The agbero stopped vehicles belonging to the students union and the students went back in anger. But as I’m talking with you, the scruple has subsided because the Ojo Divisional Police Officer (DPO) intervened and everything has been brought under control.”
“As regards the traffic snarl, there was an accident along Igando road yesterday and it was pretty serious but was unconnected to the issue.. This is what led to the traffic situation along that road and not that LASU students are demonstrating as it is being rumoured,”Ademola added.

9 Reasons JAMB Candidates Fail UTME Yearly

It is not an unknown fact that some Nigerian students after their JAMB examination will end up scoring zero over 400.
Two years ago when I wrote my first JAMB examination, I had this feeling that I was going to smash the exam with a high grade like at least 350 over 400 but finally I found myself scoring 192 over 400.
But I thanked Almighty Allah for making me among the lucky candidates that saw their results. Some of my colleagues didn’t even see their results and others scored 150 over 400 while others were even below that. So, from experience I will say nine of the reasons why we fail JAMB in this country are:
1:Fear:According to H.P. Lovecraft, Supernatural Horror in Literature: “The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.” Honestly I was afraid then, the fear of JAMB made me think I was going into a do or die affair.
I could also remember that the very day of the examination it took me about 10 minutes before I could even start shading some answers all because of fear of what the outcome of the exam might be. So I believe fear contributed to my failure. So my fellow students be bold, courageous and never think of failure in your JAMB examination. JAMB is just like any normal examination, even if very tricky.
2. JAMB syllabus:It might sound funny but believe me, JAMB follows some syllabus topics in setting their examination questions. My advice here is that you should adhere to JAMB syllabus because that is where their questions are coming from.
3.Power of JAMB past questions:My dear colleagues never neglect the power of past question papers. They reveal some tips and sample questions on what you will be facing in your examination. After the examination that day, some of my friends that wrote theirs about four years ago, told me that about 20 questions each came out from JAMB past questions. I was shocked but no second chance for an amendment.
4.Miracle centre believe it or not:This is an open confession, the fear of failing made me to get some A,B,C,D and E from a lady sitting beside me that very day. She registered in a miracle centre. I am very sure my score would have been better than 192 if I had not copied from that girl. After the examination, she showed me the answer her boyfriend sent to her but to my greatest surprise the English language paper type is A but mine is B. Unfortunately to me I carried my Use of English over, so BE CAREFUL.
5:Invigilators of nowadays:Invigilators in some centres usually frustrate students to pay or there will be no communication inside the examination hall. For instance I can remember that day, an invigilator was said to have asked to be paid N2,500 by each candidate to allow them share and communicate with each other but if you fail to pay automatically you will become No 1 Suspect in the hall. They will try anything possible to make you fail unless God saves you.
6:Late coming:Yes, I will advice you all to be at your centre one hour before the examination starts. Try as much as you can to be the first student at your centre. Coming late to any examination will make you feel that you have lost it all; not only lost but you will be disorganized.
7.Breakfast:Yes, we know that a hungry man is an angry man. Before leaving in the morning please take something; at least one cup of coffee or tea with bread will be nice to hold you. Sometimes, your exam will even start later than planned.
8.Long distance:The possibility of a student living in Nasarawa State (Doma) to meet up with an examination that will start around 9.00am in the FCT, Abuja, is just 40/100 because anything can happen. Some students will tell you that they will meet up but along the line, they will be held up along the way.
The question is: What if the car breaks down on the way? (I don’t pray for such). What if you don’t locate your centre before the exam starts? The only possible solution for this is just to be in the state/local/town/village where your centre is located a day before the examination date.
9.Randomized Questions:It is also important that candidates note that the questions generated for candidates are jumbled in such a way that they appear differently for each candidate.
For instance, your number 1 question may likely be different from that of your neighbour. That simply means if you choose "A" as your answer just because your neighbour says the answer is "A", you may have only succeeded in shooting your self in the foot as two of you may be answering different questions.

We Won’t Extend 2016 UTME Registration Deadline —JAMB Filed in JOINT ADMISSION AND MATRICULATION BOARD

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has rule out the possibility of extending its 2016 UTME registration deadline.


9ja School Gist recalls that hundreds of prospective applicants for the 2016 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) staged a peaceful protests in Benin City, Edo State, demanding extension of the online sale of UTME forms that closed recently.
The protesters, who stormed the Benin secretariat of the Edo State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), said they were unable to purchase the scratch card for the online registration due to the scarcity of the access cards.

The protesters consisted mainly of young school leavers and brandished placards with inscriptions such as, “JAMB Don’t Deny us Our Right to Education,” Extend Registration,” and “We Want Tertiary Education”.

In a statement issued by JAMB and signed by head media, JAMB, Dr Fabian Benjamin, in Abuja, the examination body said though the board sympathised with the candidates, they were given about seven months to register, adding that the board needed to prepare for the examination that would start on February 29, 2016.

Some students, on Friday, in Edo and Lagos states protested against an alleged sudden closure of the JAMB online registration portal.

The statement read: “The attention of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has been drawn to the protest by some alleged UTME candidates in Benin and Lagos. The candidates were said to be protesting over the closure of the board’s registration portal in preparation for the 2016 examination which is due to begin in less than a week from today.
“The board sincerely sympathizes with the plight of these prospective candidates and states that it’s the wish of the board that Nigerian youths desirous of tertiary education are given ample opportunity to register for its examination. This was why it began the sale of its application document last August, that is about seven months ago.
“In the advertisement for the sale of the registration documents, the board clearly stated that the sales would close by January, but due to public appeal it extended the registration process to February.
“It’s imperative to disclose that the closure was also to allow the board to prepare adequately for the examination slated for the end of February. The board cannot allow candidates to register perpetually. It has a time table and it adheres strictly to it to allow the tertiary institutions begin the process of admission early. We all must work to enshrine the culture of discipline in the system.”
The board said it was quite unfortunate that some candidates waited until their website was withdrawn before making attempts to register.
“The scenario looks very suspicious, for a candidate who is billed to sit for an examination slated for February to suddenly appear in the same February protesting his inability to register less than a week to the examination when he knew that the registration was to close in the same month.
“Through this same process, over 1.5 million candidates have applied within this period and the board has made adequate preparation for them to sit for the 2016 exercise.
