The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has disclosed that the results of the 2018 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) will not be released immediately. This was made known by the Registrar, Prof, Oloyede. According to him, the reason there will be delay in release of results is to review the activities of the candidates and to minimize the number of cancellations. The JAMB boss mentioned thOat last year the board proved a point that there is nothing extra ordinary in releasing results immediately. However, some results were later cancelled when the board found out what happened in some centres through the CCTV Cameras. So if we have to take two or three days to look at the conduct of the candidates before releasing the 2018 result so as to minimize cancellation, then we will do so.” He said Mr. Oloyede said no computer-based centre is allowed to collect any cash from the candidates for the main exam adding that the board will release the agreed s

JAMB Mock Exam 2018: New Date To Be Announced Soon An earlier announcement by JAMB had it that the mock exam will hold 1st week of February. However, till now the board is yet to announce a definite date for it. The purpose of the Mock examination is to give candidates who have little or no Idea about JAMB CBT to get familiar with it. The truth is with or without the mock examination, you can start getting familiar with the JAMB CBT questions. We believe the delay in the conduct of the Mock exam was due to the fact that the earlier deadline for the 2018 UTME Registration was postponed. With the conclusion of the 2018 UTME Registration, we expect JAMB to announce the date for the Mock examination any moment from now. Please note that the Mock examination is not a criterion for participating in the main examination, neither will it be part of your score/result in the main exam.

The Gevora Hotel is a 528-room hotel situated at 101 Sheikh Zayed Road, next the 333-metre Rose Rayhaan by Rotana, a previous holder of the record. The measurements are taken from ground level to the top of a hotel’s mast. The Gevora is a gold-coloured 75-storey tower with hotel rooms all the way to the top.

Valentine’s Day is a time to celebrate romance and love and kissy-face fealty. But the origins of this festival of candy and cupids are actually dark, bloody — and a bit muddled. Though no one has pinpointed the exact origin of the holiday, one good place to start is ancient Rome, where men hit on women by, well, hitting them. From February 13 to 15, the Romans celebrated the feast of Lupercalia. The men sacrificed a goat and a dog, then whipped women with the hides of the animals they had just slain. The Roman romantics “were drunk. They were unclad,” says Noel Lenski, a historian at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Young women would actually line up for the men to hit them, Lenski says. They believed this would make them fertile. The brutal fete included a matchmaking lottery, in which young men drew the names of women from a jar. The couple would then be, um, coupled up for the duration of the festival — or longer, if the match was right. The ancient Romans may also be

Yoruba Language Now A Compulsory Admission Requirement In Lagos State Tertiary Institutions The Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode last Thursday signed seven bills into law among which is the Yoruba Language Preservation and Promotion Law. With this Law in place, any student who wish to apply for admission into University of Lagos or other higher institutions in Lagos State will need to have a Credit Pass in Youruba Language regardless of their intended course of study. In addition, all state-owned tertiary institutions are to incorporate the use of Yoruba Language in the General Studies (GNS) courses. The Law equally stated that any school in Lagos State that fails to comply with the provisions of Section 2 commits an offence and is liable on first violation to issuance of warning and on subsequent violation be closed down and also pay a fine of N500,000. This has attracted mixed reactions from the public. While some are in support of this development, others are not
