SCHOOL MATHS WITHOUT FEARS
There is no reason to pretend that Maths is easy. To be candid Maths requires a lot of effort and hard work and consumes a lot of energy and cognitive power. Maths is a language with a unique vocabulary, written sometimes with a dizzying array of often incomprehensible symbols. No matter how simple it may be, solving Maths can also be a challenge for quite a number of persons. Not all students are gifted mathematicians. Maths is not easy to be friendly with until most of the anxiety and fears are removed as being proposed by us below.
For Maths, no single text can make all the difference needed by students. They need far more help than what their recommended books or classroom teachers can give them. Nevertheless, we feel that readable handbooks like ours, arranged appropriately to motivate them towards having a friendlier relationship with Maths would be a partial solution to removing their anxiety, fears and sometimes ignorance about the subject.
It is with great pleasure that we introduce our four books specifically written to assist and reduce the anxiety and hatred of Maths by students. We assure every reader, whether student, tutor or even parents that these books are loaded with many relevant approaches for learning/teaching the subject.
The books are the outgrowth of our remedial work with Maths students over many years. They constitute an effort to guide students, teachers, parents, schools and administrators in taking necessary measures at improving the habit of studying Maths. The various techniques mentioned in the books if practiced or taught to students in the correct manner will help them reduce the quantum of failures to a minimum and will further improve their confidence.
We wish to restate that they would be suitable particularly for WAEC, NECO, JAMB classes and examinations. Even some A-Levels and university students who want to brush up on the basics will also find a lot of useful content in the books.

I am strongly in support of this…i know most of you arent. But to make this post simple to understand i’ll number all my points
1. The scrapping of the post utme favours those that scored high marks in jamb and dosent favoured those that had technical problems
2. This would strongly reduce the ‘egunje’ in many universities. Meaning buying admission. As the scores that will be used to produce your cut off will come from your utme
3. It will save students a lot of stress for travelling all the way to a place just to write another exam and prevent extortion of money from parents by the university (******* university charge 6500 for their p utme)
4. There are many concerns about most people not gaining admission into their preferred institutions. Yes, this may be bad. But it would be a good thing in the long run. As it would let the enrollment into all institutions balanced. Everyone wants to go to unilag. Ui. Oau or whatsoever…..they should encourage people to try other universities
5. It doesnt make sense to write 2 exams for the same purpose. And if the university organises its exams. Like I said before….there would be ojoro
6. Jamb is going to shuffle canditates across different tertiary institutions
As far as am concerned, scrapping post utme is the best.
Modified: imagine thousands of student spending another money to obtain post utme forms, after expenses on jamb forms including logistics. And expect you to spend another money to travel down for one inconsequential post-utme exams.
Is it a job interview?
And the annoying thing, most of them end up becoming preys to predators such in area of accommodation. after many stress in passing through jamb.
The funny thing; these schools don’t care about their welfare. All they care about is getting their forms bought when you’re not even sure of the admission.
Surprising thing, someone you wrote the test with, will have same or low score and will gain admission while you are left to wonder in your fate.
To some point they tell you ‘go follow do runz’ to secure admission when you knew the high score in jamb is enough to neatly secure your admission without stress.
Post utme is fraud. It only gives those with connection, an opportunity to be what they want.
If I had my chance I’ll destroy the world and allow and wish for a restart. The oppressing is too much too bear.
Common bricklayer job in Nigeria needs connection.
Same thing in the so called post utme.
Abeg where the button make I press for Nigeria restart.
EXTRACTED FROM NAIRALAND
JAMB REGISTRAR HAD WARNED SINCE LAST YEAR THAT POST UTME WILL BE SCRAPPED!
Post-UTME test was introduced because of the level of malpractice that swept through the UTME examinations in the past.
However, the JAMB registrar is of the opinion that when examination malpractice in UTME is completely eradicated with the introduction of CBT there will definitely be no need for post-UTME in higher institutions.
Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, further stressed that the Computer-Based Test, CBT Mode was also introduced to prepare candidates to face the academic challenges in higher institutions.
FOR the second year running, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has demonstrated an apparent lack of capacity in conducting the computer-based test for the 2016 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination. The hitches recorded and candidates’ lamentations will compel any discernible person to query its adoption when the infrastructure for its success is grossly inadequate.
Reports of internet failure, computer glitches, power outages, incompatible questions and answers, difficulty in down-loading question papers, computers without mouse or with keyboard problems, posting of candidates outside the state they registered for the examination were rampant; as was the case in 2015. But most unusual were the 40 marks awarded to some candidates extremely handicapped by these difficulties, and the double results JAMB issued in some cases. That marks were arbitrarily awarded was an admission of grave error, and it raises integrity questions on this year’s exam.
The exam, which began on February 27 in 521 centres across the country, ended on March 19. The Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, who was at one of the centres in Abuja on an inspection visit, expressed concern about the plight of candidates who had not been accustomed to using a computer. He said, “I have sympathy for candidates who are not computer-literate and there are many of them. I think we should combine CBT with paper examination for sometime but definitely, the future is for computer.” Absolutely!
Many candidates and their parents share the minister’s concern, too. A distraught mother to a candidate – Tobiloba, who sat the exam at MTI College, Surulere, Lagos – is seeking another test for her daughter because she believed that her daughter is brilliant, and could easily have passed the examination, but for the challenges she did not create that day. Her computer tripped off repeatedly during the test. She logged in and saw mathematics, chemistry and physics papers complete. But when the computer tripped off again, a second log-in showed as follows: mathematics 46, chemistry 25 and physics 25 questions, instead of 50 each.
Desmond Peters, another parent, posits, “It is obvious that we are not ripe for this technology yet.” The JAMB Registrar, Dibu Ojerinde, will be hard put to dispute this assertion. Although the CBT mode was fully introduced last year to address the challenges posed by the paper-pencil method, its release of results within 24 hours and serving as an effective bulwark against cheating are not sufficient grounds for the board to overlook the inherent mounting obstacles or complaints thereto. This is why the House of Representatives on Thursday advised the Federal Ministry of Education to direct JAMB to return to the old system or alternatively, make it optional. Earlier, some candidates had protested in Lagos, demanding the cancellation of this year’s test, following the lapses that attended it.
Apart from a few elite schools, the majority of which are privately owned, computer education in secondary schools in the country is a non-starter. This was attested to last year by one of the teachers who participated in the national competition for the Teacher of the Year Award. He told the interview panel chaired by Pat Utomi, “In my school, we teach computer on chalkboard.” Such schools are aplenty; even more are colleges where students have neither theoretical nor practical knowledge of computer. Yet, these schools present candidates for the CBT.
It is this category of UTME candidates that rush to learn how to fiddle with computer keyboards at cybercafés just to sit the examination. They leave the exam halls with forlorn faces, terribly upset and conscious of the fact that they did not perform well, not because they are not intelligent, but because the system failed them. This has gone on for two years, denying admissions to otherwise brilliant youths, whose future is jeopardised in the process. This cannot continue.
The minister should, therefore, demonstrate that his sympathy for this group of candidates is real by ensuring that CBT is made optional in the 2017 edition. It will reduce the degree of failure orchestrated by hitches; and narrow the chances of a candidate from Lagos being given a centre in Warri, or candidate, like Juwon Medaiyese, from Ilorin going to Minna to sit the test. A level playing field has to be created for all the candidates, otherwise, JAMB will largely be seen as fleecing the candidates and their parents annually.
It should be acknowledged, however, that the board meant well by introducing the CBT, as it aligns with modernity and advances the frontiers of Information Communication Technology education. But the bitter truth is that there is a mismatch between the present level of our education and the computer literacy culture being imposed on it.
What’s more; Nigeria is ravaged by infrastructure deficits like gross inadequacy in electricity supply, broadband penetration and alternative source of power. As the UTME lasted, power supply nationwide dipped to 3,449.53 megawatts for a country of about 170 million people, according to statistics from the Ministry of Power. Progress will remain a mirage with the UTME’s CBT if the country does not get these indices right.
Many universities, which had for long passed a vote-of-no-confidence in JAMB’s UTME with their conduct of post-UTME tests to select their students, will be reinforced by this year’s CBT short-comings to deepen the process. Globally, any university worth its name admits its own students; we believe it is the right way to go. It will guarantee quality and autonomy badly needed in our universities.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has perfected plans to begin the 2016 sales of UTME form by August 31st, 2015.
This was made known by the board’s Head of Information, Dr Fabian Benjamin in statement today in Lagos
It was gathered that the decision of the board to make the form available now is to prepare candidates early for the 2016 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The scratch cards will be made available from August 31st, 2015 and can be purchased from the following banks; Zenith Bank, Sky Bank and First Bank.
”The registration fee for the UTME is N5,000 and candidates are also to pay N500 to obtain the textbook, The Last Days at Forcados High School’.
”Candidates will, however, be issued the book at the point of registration after showing evidence of payment,” the statement stated.
Prospective candidates are advised to ensure they obtained the application forms early as well as fill their personal data correctly to avoid any mix-up.
The deadline for sales of form is January 15, 2016. While the registration website will close January 19th, 2016.
The 2016 UTME examination is expected to begin Feb.29 and end on March 14, 2016.
Note: The UTME will be 100% Computer Based Test (CBT)
No fewer than 32,000 candidates will participate in the University of Lagos (UNILAG) post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) scheduled to hold from Wednesday, 12th August to Friday, 14th August, 2015.
According to the institution’s Deputy Registrar (Information), Mr Olagoke Oke, the figure was close to four times the 9,000 that was initially posted to the institution by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
Oke said: “I want to say that all logistics toward a smooth conduct of this examination are fully in place. We have always been ready for situations like this and have always got it right.“Before now, we were hoping to put logistics in place for the initial 9,000 candidates, but with the reversal of the decision, we now have to re-adjust and I want to say that we are fully prepared.
“All our computers and its accessories, the backups, alternative power supply as well as adequate personnel that will conduct the examination are all ready.”
The deputy registrar added that the university was compelled to extend the exercise to three days because of the large number of candidates seeking admission into the institution.
He, however, advised candidates to arrive early at the examination centres for a hitch-free exercise. (NAN)

1.WHAT CAUSED THE PROTEST?…NOTICE FROM UNILAG SHOWN BELOW
IMPORTANT NOTICE ON NEW POLICY ON ELIGIBILITY OF CANDIDATES FOR 2015/2016 ADMISSION EXERCISE
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) at its 2015 Combined Policy Meeting, held on July 14, 2015 in Abuja, announced the adoption of a policy whereby candidates of universities with surplus applicants for the Unified Matriculation Examinations (UTME) are reassigned to other universities with lower number of candidates than their capacities.
According to the Registrar/CEO of JAMB, Professor Dibu Ojerinde, the policy portends two benefits:
It will be beneficial to “needy Universities” that is universities with lower number of candidates than their capacities, as this will ensure that these universities will have more candidates to admit.
Candidates will have better chances for admission in the universities they are re-assigned to, contrary to situations where they would await admission in the universities of their first choices until the admission exercise closes and they forfeit admission in that session.
This policy has been implemented with immediate effect. Consequently, the eligibility for Post-UTME screening in the University of Lagos like other universities in Nigeria has been determined by JAMB. In effect, only candidates whose names were forwarded to the University of Lagos by JAMB are eligible for the 2015/2016 post-UTME screening.
This means that only candidates whose details have been forwarded to the University of Lagos by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and published on the link: admissions.unilag.edu.ng are eligible for the 2015/2016 Post-UTME screening exercise.Candidates, who will not be sixteen (16) years of age by 31st October, 2015 are not eligible and need not apply.
Ineligible candidates would have been re-assigned by JAMB to other universities. Such candidates should contact JAMB for assistance.

COMMENTS
2.Protesters WERE NOT UNILAG STUDENTS but mobilized themselves through social networks mainly.
3.The gains of the protest is doubtful because they were mainly INTENDING STUDENTS and their parents.It appears no University official or officer of the SUG bothered to address them.
REACTIONS
4.Many students of Unilag feel the protest should have been at the JAMB office in Ikoyi. Here are some of the comments made by them and others on the net especially NL
a.Please that woman am seeing in the pic, is she protesting for her grand children or for her children or for herself? (She was protesting for her child)
b.I don’t think there is much you guys can do once the schools consents to this. Just keep praying sha, Jamb has no say really. It all boils down to the school because Jamb could do nothing when PUME was introduced.
c.Why are you guys going to protest at Unilag gate? Are they the ones that came up with the new policy? Shouldn’t that be done at the JAMB office?Do you tthink UNILAG does not like the income they generate from thousands of Post utme candidates yearly when they know 70% don’t stand a chance? This one is bad market for them because JAMB has limited the number of candidates to those who are truly eligible knowing that those 5 schools are competitive.
d.They are helping you so you don’t spend a year sitting at home after being denied admission by the top 5 when there are other schools who could have given you admission. Reduces the crime rate and pregnancy rate in my opinion.
e.How can you score 200 and be thinking of Unilag? I scored 270 in my time and still didnt make merit list. I made supplementary cos I knew someone.
f.This is a nice initiative. I just don’t support the private university option but it was necessary so the private universities don’t cry foul after all they are recognised by NUC. Its left to you to either go there or not.That still remains the best way to go about issues like this.
g.Tell me, if Mtn deducts #1000 from ur account will u carry cardboard to the guy who sold u the sim or will u give their customer care a call? #follow due Protocol! And life will be easier.
h.Still waiting for my telefone to fully charge before I start my missionary journey to finding Jamb office in Ikoyi. *My advice to Jambiters: do not stage any protest at these instuitions because it will eventually lead to rioting and when dem gbab you or break ya head skul don finish be that Ooo (besides the decision has been made and implementations has started too)…Just thread carefully and lastly, don’t fall for some cheap talkers tabi fraudsters dis time around! Go out there and source for the info you need to forge ahead because time don dey go already. Admission runs ends 31st of OCTOBER 2015!
i.I tried contacting Jamb with the phone numbers they gave, but you won’t believe they switched off their phones. One of the calls was forwarded to a strange number but it was cut off immediately. We all have to stand together against this injustuce. Try calling these numbers:
08072522813
07031283713
08080116631
07031283662
j.Trying to call JAMB? Very funny… Even when the this issue was not up, nobody picks. Their numbers simply don’t work. Have you tried sending an email to UTMERegistration.info@jamb.gov.ng.
k.Unilag is not responsible for your predicament in ANY way.This is totally the fault of JAMB.
l.Going for a protest in front of the school gate will change nothing. Do you expect them to force jamb to send them more names?
m.It’s the prospective students that are protesting, not Unilag students. TAKE NOTE!
n.Too many students want to attend UNILAG and the university cannot admit more than available space for new students.Many classes are overcrowded and many of the students are not getting the best education, but they don’t care, because they just want to be students and graduates of UNILAG. This is why they are protesting. Although I think they need to be at JAMB office, not unilag gate

JAMB Official Cut-Off Mark: What It Actually Means
Jamb has officially announced that the 2015 official cut-off mark is 180 for Universities and 150 for polytechnics, Colleges of Education and other certificate awarding institutions.
However, from comments and feedback we have received, it seems that most candidates have not clearly understood the import of this.it therefore seems necessary to explain what it actually means.
Many candidates for instance are think that since they have applied to study in a university and have scored up to 180 that their choice institution must consider them for admission going by the official cut-off mark for universities is 180.
You should know by now that most Federal Universities accept only candidates who scored 200 and above and nothing less and even when such universities adopts the official cut-off mark of 180 some courses will demand that you still score 200 and above to be considered for admission.
Similar permutation applies to polytechnics and colleges of education with official cut-off mark of 150.
You may ask, “What is then the essence of the cut-off mark if institutions won’t stick to it?” I will explain.
The 180 official cut-off mark for universities only means that no university is permitted to accept any candidate with UTME score below 180.
For polytechnics, Colleges of Education and other certificate awarding institutions that have official cut-off mark of 150, it means that non- of these institutions will accept a candidates that have anything less that 150 as UTME score.
So where as institutions cannot go below their official cut-off marks, they can go above the cut-off marks.
Now, I guess you understand.
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has called on institutions to send only the names of qualified candidates with JAMB results, proper names of accredited courses offered to the should be sent to it for mobilization.
It also added that results released and acknowledged by the senate of the institutions as well as soft and hard copies of the names of students are other considerations.
This followed observation by NYSC that names of illegal candidates including roadside mechanics were sent to its headquarters for mobilization, creating unnecessary problems for the corps.
The director-general of the NYSC, Brig Gen Johnson Olawumi, who was represented by an NYSC official, Mr Fasanu Isaac made this known during the 2015 combined policy meeting on admissions to degree, NIGERIA
Certificate of Education (NCE) National Diploma and National Innovation Diploma- awarding institutions held yesterday.
