The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Ibadan chapter, has faulted the guidelines released by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) for admission of candidates into Nigerian tertiary institutions stating that JAMB acted beyond its powers.
According to the union, the Senate of Nigerian Universities has the mandate to regulate admission modalities as each university has standards which are not subjected to the whims and caprices of any government appointee.
Speaking, the Chairman of the union, Dr. Deji Omole, said both the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, and JAMB Registrar, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, first got it wrong by going against the administrative charges collected by institutions for post-UTME and later reversed their stand in their guidelines which he described as illegal and designed to favour children of the rich against the poor.
He mentioned that the point-based scoring system in the guidelines is not new as it has been used in UI 5 years ago and abandoned.
He equally stated that JAMB is only trying to cover up their inadequacies as its credibility is yearly queried.
He pointed out that last year candidates were pushed to private universities against their will and this year JAMB awarded 40 marks to some candidates without justification.
He further mentioned that with the stipulation on the current guidelines many candidates will be disadvantaged and JAMB would have succeeded in entrenching corruption and further kill tertiary education in the country.

Association Of VCs Denies Report That Screening Fee Is Now N2500
The Association of Vice Chancellors of Nigerian Universities (AVCNU) through its Secretary-General, Prof. Michael Faborode, has denied reports credited to the association that the Federal Ministry of Education and other stakeholders in the tertiary education sub-sector have agreed on N2,500 as fee for post- Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (post-UTME) screening.
According to him, it is not the duty of the association to make such pronouncement but that of the Ministry of Education.
He further stated that the whole story exhibits poor reportage, contains half-truth and conjectures, and represents very poor translation of the proper content of a written information as there was no way it was stated in the statement released by the association that Post-UTME is now N2,500 or that CBT has been scrapped.

What Your Sign Says About the Guys You Fall For- (Ksu boy and gal palava)
According to Redbookmag and Aurora Tower,this Is what your sign say about the kid of guys you fall for :
Aries
You usually find yourself coupled up with caring and charming guys (partly because you're pretty caring and charming yourself). Unfortunately, sometimes they want more of your time and energy than you are willing to give. Feel free to tell those guys to back up and defend your need for space. Or just block them on your phone. Either way.
Taurus
Passionate and purposeful guys catch your eye since you really admire men with a strong point of view. On the other hand, you're basically known for sticking to your own point of view until death, so god help them if they're as stubborn as you are. They'll probably have to move to another state.

Gemini
You're basically a human thrill ride, so you love charismatic and adventurous guys. If a guy has a knack for taking risks and coming out on top (aka Chris Hemsworth in pretty much any movie ever) you're smitten. Even if they're on the tame side, they still need to be able to keep up with your quick mind and thirst for variety. Otherwise, you will move on faster than anyone.
Cancer
Because your emotions run so deeply, you tend to prefer charismatic guys who provide you with some degree of emotional stability. And because you're way more likely to want a night at home than a night at the bar, you're the sign most likely to fall in love with a coworker. You see them all the time, you trust them, and you know they'll always be there. Honestly, if you could marry Jim from The Office, you would, but he isn't a real person, so you can't.
Leo
You love intelligent and creative types who inspire you (and others) with their uniqueness, gusto, and determination. You're a born leader and definitely a show-off, so naturally your ideal "hookup bar" is a red carpet. Also, people seriously need to stop judging you for going to those events uninvited.

Virgo
You tend to go for artistic or emotional types who soak up your supportive and nurturing qualities. This can sometimes backfire if you end up with some jerk who loves how much you do for him and doesn't give a lot in return. If that happens, it's totally OK to leave him and find someone who can shower you with attention and candy and compliments because you deserve it all.
Libra
Energy, confidence, and a pioneering spirit are major turn- ons for you. That said, your energetic spirit can exhaust you, so you really appreciate guys who are brave and persistent enough to pursue you. Mostly because if you have to pursue one more guy who is probably an idiot, you're going to fall asleep in the middle of the street.
Scorpio
You like nurturing, practical, and patient partners who will be by your side for the long haul and dote on you when you need it. You're a very giving sign, but let's face it — you also need a lot from your partner. Once you have someone who knows how to weather your kiiiind of erratic moods from moment to moment, you're in for good.
Sagittarius
You love intelligent and open-minded partners who are willing to be there with you on every adventure you go on. And since you're kind of a human version of spring break, partners who have a lot of stamina and fearlessness will win your heart.
Capricorn
Since you're almost always working, you love sensitive, loyal, and affectionate guys who make you feel nurtured and supported. Your schedule literally has no time for guys who aren't sure if they're into you or not. You're too busy being pleasantly curled up in a pile of soft blankets and cozy socks eating cheese.
Aquarius
Your dreamy, ever-changing nature is drawn to guys who are artistic, courageous, and know exactly who they are (aka Chris Evans makes you lose your mind). There's just something about a guy who has an original point of view and won't compromise it for anyone that makes you feel safe and super excited.
Pisces
You love consistent, helpful, and knowledgable guys who bring structure and support into your dreamy, chaos-filled world. And in return, those guys will get one of the most romantic partners they've ever had. Seriously, every day with you is like living inside The Notebook, but less sad.

10 (unintentional) sexy things ladies do to turn guys on -(Ksu boy and gal palava)
Women are the sexiest people on the planet and
they are sexy in all kinds of ways.
In fact, every woman is sexy in her own way, every woman defines sexiness in her own way and every woman exhibits sexiness in her own way.
There are quite a few things women do that are unintentionally sexy, though. These make the guys go crazy for us. That's how sexy we are – we're sexy without even trying, without even knowing that we're sexy.
1.) Loving your body
Because men love what they see, it's fascinating to them to see a woman who just loves the way she is and is super confident about her body. As a woman, love your curves, your sharp angles and your soft edges. Also, love your scars, your stretch marks, your best features, and your problem areas. These only make you a confident beautiful woman.
2.) Having a sense of humor
There is nothing sexier than bringing laughter into someone's sad day, week or even life. You might have a ribald sense of humor, a sharp and witty one, or a low-key, dry sense of humor – whatever it is, it's hot… To men, of course!
3.) Showing off your intelligence
Spotlighting your brilliance is super sexy. No need to show-off or behave like you know it all. Being smart and knowing you're right will make someone always think you're being pretentious but who cares!? Never hold back your intelligence. Never be ashamed of how smart you are.
4.) Being optimistic
Being positive with everything doesn't just make someone like being around you but you also get to encourage him/her to see life in another light - positive light! No man wants a woman who always think the worse about everything. Trust me.

5.) The eyes have it all
Nothing like the eyes… big, wet, loving and pretty. One look and he comes running.
6.) Flicking your hair
Some of us (women) do this with no motive behind our actions. Even with short hair some of us still do it and it always stands out because there's just something sexy about it. It may sound shallow but men believe its sexy.
7.) A simple touch to the chest
Just like a smile, sometimes the natural things are just the sexiest. Only guys can really explain how they feel when her hands run through their chests…especially if they're shirtless.
8.) Biting your lower lip
Even movie directors use this act for the seduction scenes. It works magic on men!

9.) standing on your toes
This is sexy as h***! Even when a woman is just trying to get something from the upper shelve… almost all the men will think of kissing or running to help her out. It drives them crazy.
10.) Placing your head below his chin
This is an obviously unintentional act but the way the woman fits in the man's body sends a sweet sensation through his body. The way you fit with your lover is just special and definitely so sexy.

15 Things Mature Women Don’t Do In Relationships
Do you think you are mature in relationships? Relationships can come with their own unique struggles, but there are some things that are universally immature and worth avoiding for a happier relationship.
Check out 15 things mature women don’t do in relationships.
1. They Don’t Sacrifice Other Relationships
Many people drift apart from their friends during a relationship. While this is understandable during the initial ‘honeymoon’ period, it is important to remember that that your friends and family have been in your life for far longer than your partner. Mature women make sure they have a happy balance between all of their loved ones.
2. They Don’t Forget To Thank Their Partner
After you have been in a relationship for a while, it can be easy to forget to appreciate all of the little things that they do for you. Mature women realize that sharing your life with someone is a gift – so don’t forget to say please and thank you!

3. They Don’t Give Up Financial Independence
No matter how well off your partner is, completely giving up your financial independence can actually mean giving up your independence. Mature women don’t have to ask their partner for everything – it makes them feel proud and happy to be able to buy things with their own money.
4. They Don’t Focus On Their Partner’s Bad Traits
Mature women try to focus on their partner’s best traits rather than the negative ones. They focus on the good things their partner does and says, and they try not to judge their partner for their flaws, instead understanding that they too have flaws.
5. They Don’t Give Up Their Dreams
Mature women understand that a great relationship doesn’t drag you down – instead, it should bring out the best in you. A good relationship encourages you to pursue your dreams, and a mature woman would struggle to be happy in a relationship if she stopped following her dreams.
6. They Don’t Think Their Version Of Happiness Is The Only One
Mature women understand that everyone’s idea of happiness is different. If their partner enjoys space, they give it to them, and if they enjoy affection, they give them that instead. Most importantly, they do not make assumptions about how to make their partner happy.
7. They Don’t Give Up Their Self Respect
It is normal to change slightly during a relationship, but mature women don’t allow their relationships to take away their self- respect. They don’t allow their partners to speak to them negatively or condescendingly – they expect their partner to treat them just as well as everyone else in their life.
8. They Don’t Take “I Love You” Lightly
Mature women understand the importance of those three words, so they work hard to keep the words special, no matter how long they have been with their partner. They don’t say ‘I love you’ at the end of every conversation – instead they say it at the right moments, to show their partner how much they appreciate them.
9. They Don’t Give Up Their Happiness
Mature women understand the importance of their happiness, and that if they are not happy in a relationship, they shouldn’t be in one. They are aware that their partner is a part of their happiness, and should be someone who can bring them happiness when they are feeling sad.
10. They Don’t Feel Like They Need To Always Be
In Contact With Their Partner
Mature women do not need constant contact in their relationships, as they have their own busy lives. They are secure enough to trust their partner when they are not with them, and find non-stop emailing and texting to be a waste of their own time.
11. They Don’t Let Their Partner Make All The
Decisions
In a mature relationship both partners respect each other’s decisions. This can range from big decisions, such as getting married and having children, to smaller ones, like which restaurant to eat at tonight. Either way, your partner should always consider and respect your decisions – and vice versa!
12. They Don’t Share Their Relationship With The
World
Mature women understand the value of keeping their relationship between themselves and their partner. They dislike the idea of the world knowing their business, so they avoid discussing their arguments on social media and instead focus on communicating with their partner to solve the problem.
13. They Don’t Give Up Their Space
Mature women know that no matter how great their relationship is, they still occasionally need time alone. From going to the gym to curling up with a good book, mature women value their time alone and actively seek out ‘me-time’.
14. They Don’t Resent Their Partner’s
Achievements Mature women understand that loving someone means you want them to be as happy as possible. They embrace their partner’s happiness and celebrate their achievements with them, rather than holding their partners back for more selfish reasons.
15. They Don’t Give Up Their Identity
When you start a new relationship, it is normal to become interested in your partner’s hobbies and interests. It can be a lot of fun to share interests together, but mature women do not let themselves lose their own interests and hobbies for someone else. Instead, they remain interested in both their partner’s hobbies and their own.

The list of candidates that has crossed the
minimum cutoff of Jamb but were not admitted into a particular institution should be forwarded back to jamb, as this candidates will be redistributed to other institutions who need them for consideration.....most preferably their 2nd choice institution....
(This means that those who scored the general cutoff say 180 or 200 and above but couldn't reach the departmental cutoff and were not admitted will be forward to other institution for admission consideration, just like eligibility stuff last year)
5. STUDY HERE PROPERLY,
In the Meeting, Jamb did some evaluations on processes some universities has been following in the former years as a case study, they used this two varsities which don't normally write pume as a case study but uses screening method: these are:
Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University and its affiliates 2015/2016 mode of admission, Jamb made remarked on the life span of certificates (O-level) which the school indicated as 5yrs only for you to be admitted, and Jamb also made remarks on
how much this varsity collects from aspirants
Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida's who use jamb grading systems like 180- 185 as 20 points, 186-190 as 21 points and So on... Jamb faulted and made remarks on
1. why they should screen candidates before recommendation and presentation
to jamb
2. The weighted course requirements and grades put some students to disadvantage
3. fees charged for screening, HOW
MUCH??
In the meeting, Jamb made some sampled printouts of some federal universities that do conduct written exams.... Using Futo,
unilorin, uniabuja, and Unilag as a case study
Using FUTO Mechanical Engineering department as an example, they have the
capacity to admit a total number of 193 for that department... they suppose to admit 87 on merit, 68 for catchments( they have 5 catchments states, so 68 divided by 5 = 13.5, so they suppose to admit 14 for each catchment states), 39 for EDLS (they have 23 EDLS so 39/23 = 1.6~ 2 for each EDLS)....
But they summary/outcome jamb gave for futo was: 92:70:14 for merit: catchment: ELDS
Unilorin admission for law which has a
capacity of 89 was also used and the outcome was that they admitted a total of 70 instead of 89 using merit, catchments and ElDS....
Uniabuja with a capacity of 444 for Economics department admitted just 370
Unilag with a capacity of 280 for law department had a summary/outcome of 270 instead of 280...
For private institution, they used about 5 institutions as case study, where Covenant varsity, with 111 capacity for Engineering end up admitting just 45 (I guess due to lack of candidates), Salem varsity Lokoja which have a capacity to admit 20 for computer Engineering ended up admitting just 8 (due to lack of candidates) and so on for the remaining 3 varsities used as sample....
For State institutions: Imsu, Lautech, Kaduna. State varsity and 2 others were used, the outcome looked partly like federal uni outcome for those state varsity like imsu who have candidates every year and some outcomes looked like that of private varsity for some state universities that lacks candidates every year...
6. After the whole evaluation, JAMB came up with this As the MODALITIES TO BE TAKEN THIS YEAR By All institutions:
PROPOSED JAMB MODEL FOR SCREENING OF RECOMMENDED CANDIDATES*
1. Screening of candidates shall be for
those offered *Provisional Admissions*
ONLY.
2. No *written examination* to be
conducted
3. Verification of Course Requirements (O
levels or A levels)
4. Verification of valid JAMB results by
checking:_
_i.Online Result Slip_ _ii.Printout_
_iii.Provisional Admission Letter_
_iv.Photo Album_
_v.Check list_
_vi.Biometrics
*5. Institutions are free to source from other Course(s) to compensate for SHORTFALL in any of the criteria..
This new method uses a point system that is easy to understand, the whole process is divided into main points as follows;
1) Before a candidate can seat be considered for screening, he/she must have been given provisional admission by Jamb. The Jamb admission checker portal is going to be opened soon for this process, so praying is all you can do now.
2) THE POINT SYSTEM:
This is the most critical part of the process. Jamb's provisional admission no longer makes much sense this year, your points tally will decide your faith. The points are evenly spread out between your O'level and Jamb results to provide a level playing field for all.
In the first case, any candidate who submits only one result which contains his/her relevant subjects already has 10points, the exam could be NECO, WAEC, GCE etc, but any candidate who has 2 sittings only gets 3 points. So this means that aspirants with only one result are at an advantage but only just.
The next point grades fall into the O'level
grades. Each grades has it's equivalent point, A=6 marks, B=4 marks, C=3 marks, so the better your grades the better your chances.
The next point is the UTME scores. Each score range has its equivalent point which can be summarized thus, 180-200=20-23 marks, 200-250=24-33 points, 251-300=34-43, 300-400=44-60 points. Each categories contains 5 Jamb results per point added, for example a candidate with 180-185 gets 20points, a candidate with 186-190 gets 21 points etc. Points system for DE will be released soon.
3) It then comes down to the fact that fees will still be charged for screening, it depends on the school as well.
4) Catchment and ELDS will still be used!
