ANSWER
2 )
We are now in a situation in our nation Nigeria, that the price of every single is rising up, which is affecting the majority (The average and poor ) of the masses in the country. Every single person in this nation is feeling the impact of the newadministration CHANGE, that majority of the masses voted for.
My write up is not to criticize the past or present administration which most people do , but to list out the major PROBLEMS and SOLUTIONS that can be of help to the present administration and to the masses of the Nation .

I will first by , state the Major Problems faced in the nation and followed by the Solutions that can be applied to solve the problems facing our nation , which are as stated ;
-BAD ECONOMY: As we all know the economy of our nation is bad at the present moment , which we all pray for it to get better and we are the only ones that can make it better by cooperating together , but have we ever considered knowing the reasons that our economy is bad? Many of us will say it ’s due to Corruption, which i agree with it and also disagree with it a little ; you may want to ask why? It ’s because we haven ’t really checked the sources of the things that are leading to the crumbling down of our economy and we need to tackle them from their sources, which are as follows;

1 ) VANDALIZATION OF OIL PIPE LINES : We can’t Judge what is happening in this region of our nation if we listen to one side of the coin without listening to the other side of the coin and that is what most people do. The bombing of the oil pipe lines is one of the things affecting the economy of Nigeria because Nigeria depend mostly on a SINGLE STREAM OF INCOME and if the bombing of oil pipe lines continues to happens , it will keep affecting our economy as oil is our major source of income, which is also used for different things in the country.
COMPLAINING AND WAITING FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO PROVIDE THE SOLUTIONS TO YOUR PROBLEMS: Most of the citizens of Nigeria are mostly fond of complaining and blaming the Government of almost every single negative thing that happens in their lives, which just shows signs of lack of thinking of that individual and not rising up against the challenges of his/ her life instead of blaming the government always andpeople around you for what is happening to you. The following are the solutions of which I think can be used to tackle the problems of the Nation .
1 )
RESOLVING THE ISSUE OF VANDALIZATION OF OIL PIPE LINES :
I will start by making statement ” We can’t solve an issue by killing one another , because it only leaves the issue unsolved and our coming generation will inherit the issue and keep killing one another ” The vandalization of oil pipe lines won ’t resolve the issue neither the deployment of soldiers there will solve the issue; instead the government should know the main reasons while this group of people are doing what they are doing.

 I heard the reason for vandalizing these oil pipe lines was because the people in that region where suffering from many things . Amnesty programme won’t solve the issue, instead the government should teach these people how to catch fish not how to eat fish by providing them with basic social amenities that these people need , such as; Standard Education , Good Roads , Empowerment Training etc. because there are people there with great ideas and potentials , who need education (knowledge) to develop these ideas into reality and peace will reign in that region and our economy will become strong again, since the nation depends majorly on Oil as its source of income

2 ) DIVERSIFICATION OF ECONOMY: A rich man doesn’t have one single stream of income he /she has up to or more than 7 streams of income. We can check the lives of the rich people in our nation , they have numerous sources of income and that ’s what the Government needs to start doing, instead of depending on one stream of income. Our government need to start thing big and wide like the way rich men do their businesses. We have natural resources all over
the country in abundance and great citizens with great ideas that the government and capable people can invest in these people with great ideas the resources we have , which will begin to develop Jobs for the people of the nation and also boast the economy.

26A Lewis Street,
Freetown,
Sierra Leone,
13th April,2017.

Dear brother Musa,
Many thanks for your last letter which got to me on the 27th March 2017. I was so happy when I read in your letter that you have got a new job. In fact, I was so happy that I called on the pastor to pray for us as family for God's continuous blessings. I hope John, Eric, Kadiatu and Mohammed are all doing fine. However, brother, I decided to write you this letter for the following reasons.

To start with, it is with great pleasure that I write to inform you about the prestigious house father has built for us a family. the house located around Spur loop close towards Chinese Embassy. It contains four rooms, a palor, toilets and Kitchens inside. The house worth three hundred million dollars and many people are demanding for the plan of the house. However, the has actually added to the prestige of our family. 

In addition to, the contractor who built the house said that the cost of the house cannot be compared to any other house around the area. Yesterday, father received a call from the president that the minister of external relations from Ghana will be visiting Sierra Leone tomorrow and he wants the minister to enjoy his stay in our new house. The president afford to give father fifty million leones as compensation. Apparently, father has accepted the money which was sent by the president in a form of cheque and father has decided to give the keys of the house to the police commissioner who has placed security personnel around the compound for the arrival of the minister of external relations from Ghana.

Furthermore, brother, Musa the new house that father built has brought respect and integrity to the family. In fact, yesterday father received an award from one of the prominent organizations in Sierra Leone called All Works Of Life ( AWOL) that father house won 2017 award as the best house in Sierra Leone. Following the award father received from AWOL, we have been receiving many calls from different agencies and government institutions to lease the house. In fact, one of the agencies has vowed to give father two hundred million leones annually for the rentage of the house. 

Finally, brother, Musa I know your holiday this year will be filled with joy due to what father has done for us. I'm quite sure that you will be pleased to live in the house than to stay in the hotel like you did the last time when you came. Besides, Uncle Mohammed who lives in London called father yesterday and told him that he would like to stay in the house upon his visit to Sierra Leone. Extend my greetings to everybody over there. When I have a little break at my office I will come over to see you and the rest of other family members over there.
Yours affectionate,
Abdulai.

6 helpful tips to get up to 300 in JAMB

  As 2016 comes to a close, many students are preparing earnestly for the Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB) examinations now known as the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). 

A cross section of UTME candidates tackling the examination The 2016 admissions were filled with confusion and controversy as the Minister of Education Adamu Adamu brought about various changes in the process, ranging from the cancellation of the Post UTME to the changing of the process of screening students by JAMB. The 2017 UTME also has one major change already, there will be no sales of JAMB scratch cards which have been used for registration in the past years.

 JAMB registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede,, said this was to make it easier for those with financial problems to register.

 “Students will generate a PIN number for themselves from their phone or computers before registering for examinations,” he said. Here are 6 tips to help students do very well in the JAMB Computer Based Test (CBT), examinations: 1. Download the practice software Early preparation is key to doing very well in any area of life. 

The JAMB CBT is not an exception. Even though the registration has not begun, you can start practicing now. Since it will be the first experience some students will have with any computer based assessment, downloading the JAMB CBT practice software is one very important step to take. 

It looks something like this: CBT practice software The practice software is easily available online and can be easily accessed via mobile phone or a computer. 

Candidates are encouraged to download and use for practice to get themselves very prepared for the examination. 

2. Registration Since the news broke that scratch cards will not be used for registration in 2017, many students have been worried as to the likely problems that might be attached to generating pins on their own. It is important for candidates that they keep in touch and up to date on news in connection with the registration process, so as not to miss out on any update.

Most students start to fail once there are mistakes in their registration. Ensure that you do not fall under this category. Naij.com will ensure that you are updated, as soon as there is any news from JAMB on the 2017 registration process, and how the pin can be generated.

JAMB: Where Oloyede got it wrong

JAMB: Where Oloyede got it wrong 

STUDENTS and parents are lamenting the stress they undergo every year during the conduct of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME. 

They are urging the Federal Ministry of Education to prevail on the JAMB registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, to alleviate their sufferings. 

They particularly frowned at the cancelled mock UTME slated for last Saturday, noting that the registration process of the UTME and the mock examination were cumbersome and fraught with irregularities. 

The aggrieved stakeholders observed that though the mock examination was optional, it however, showed how the main examination scheduled for May would have ended. 

When the former JAMB registrar, Professor Dibu Ojerinde, initiated the Computer-Based Test in 2013, it was applauded by many in the sector. It was believed that it had the potential of bringing our examination system up to the 21st Century global best practices.

 Having made it optional for candidates from 2013 and 2014, Ojerinde went further to make it compulsory from 2015 for all candidates. 

Thus, the Paper Pencil Test was eliminated in 2015 in the conduct of UTME examinations. 

In the first two years of the CBT, many students hailed Ojerinde for the development because it enabled candidates to purchase JAMB forms from the banks, proceed to cyber cafes to register online. 

Moreover, candidates became more excited when they discovered that with the new CBT system, they would get their results within 24 hours through their mobile phones. 

Therefore, after a candidate has successfully registered, he received every information about the examination, centre and states. However, in 2016 UTME, the success story changed and many stakeholders began to sing discordant tunes as the examination was characterised by irregularities. Malfunctioningof servers Many of the candidates that same year complained about the malfunctioning of servers, overcrowded CBT halls, faulty computers and frequent shut down of computers which according to them, interrupted the flow of the examination. Several candidates and parents also complained that aside posting their children to far away states for the examination, after the exam, they got conflicting UTME scores. Cross section of UTME candidates during a computer based test. While some were awarded 40 marks, others complained of a deduction from  previous marks sent to their GSM. 

The scenario angered many stakeholders who called for Ojerinde’s sack but the government ignored the call until his tenure expired.

 However, when Professor Ishaq Oloyede was announced as Ojerinde’s successor in 2016, many accepted the appointment with mixed feelings, querying the rationale behind the choice of a Professor of Islamic Jurisprudence to man a computer-oriented empire. His predecessor, Dibu Ojerinde is a Professor of Tests and Measurement and Educational Administrator. In his address, Oloyede promised to build on the existing computer-based test of UTME examination though with little modifications. 

The modifications, according to him include introduction of Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras in all CBT accredited centres across the country. 

Speaking in 2016 during one of his meetings with CBT operators held at the University of Lagos, Oloyede said the decision to modify the process was made to avoid past errors and wipe out the noticeable irregularities facing the conduct of the examination. 

He said: “We are in a period of change, and what that means is that everything we have been doing must be reviewed. Whatever we have been doing right will have to be reinforced while what we were doing wrong will be changed.” 

He, therefore, mandated that every accredited CBT centre must have 250 desktop or laptop systems in a single room, with about 25 backup systems before being qualified to hold the examination. Oloyede further maintained that during data capturing, the 10 fingers of the candidate must be captured, adding that any candidate whose 10 fingers cannot be captured by the CBT centres should be redirected to the headquarters of JAMB in FCT, Abuja. Unlike in the previous years when a prospective candidate could just walk into a bank and purchase a UTME form, every candidate in this administration must first create a profile in JAMB website, before proceeding to the bank to pay and obtain an e-pin. He also made optional, mock examination for candidates. 

However, reactions from prospective candidates on 2017 UTME revealed that many of the modifications carried out by Oloyede on the previous process of registration and examination have made it more stressful for candidates. Since commencement of registration on March 20, candidates have been complaining of difficulties in obtaining their e-pins during registration. Just as hope of many candidates were dashed last Saturday when they went for the mock examination at the CBT centres, it was reported that most of the CBT centres could not connect to the main server at the centre, thus making it impossible for many candidates to participate in the exercise. Candidates lamented that many of them had to queue for hours under the sun before they were called in for the mock. Some centres where they had already sat for the examination were highly disappointed as they announced to them that the mock exam had been postponed. 

The JAMB registrar who circulated the information to the supervisors through a text message that Saturday,  blamed circumstances beyond his control. Though he did not disclose what those circumstances were, it cannot however, be far from reports reaching him about failures to connect with the central server. Failures to connect with the central server Meanwhile, Vanguard’s visit to some of the centres where the mock examination was scheduled to hold last Saturday, showed the candidates under scorching sun waiting to write the exam. At Knowledge Ware Technology, Itire Road, Lawanson, Surulere Lagos, the candidates said they arrived the centre as early as 7.00am but had nobody to attend to them. One of the candidates said: “Ï am not feeling good because the rain that fell this morning drenched me. 

Now I am under the sun at 2.00pm still waiting to write the mock exam.” Two other candidates at the centre, Musa Ahmed and Hassan Bukola, said the failure of JAMB to conduct the exam had left them demoralised as they had put all their efforts into it. 

At the Digital Bridge Institute, a centre at Utako, it was reported that the candidates were very disappointed that the test was shelved. Miss Sarah Adeniyi, a candidate, arrived at the centre as early as 6.30am but could not enter the hall as at 1.30 pm. She was roaming around the premises. “I am so tired and hungry. 

I rushed down here thinking they would keep to time. Look at us under the sun since morning. I just feel like forgetting about this whole mock of  a thing,” she lamented. Where did Oloyede get it wrong from where Ojerinde stopped? It is apparent that Nigerians are not ready to be patient with any public servant who seems to delay their progress for no reason. Candidates are looking forward to seeing a problem-free 2017 UTME.

The registrar of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board visited the Nigerian Army headquarters in Abuja - The visit, the Nigerian Army said is a courtesy one to the Chief of Army Staff Tukur Buratai - This visit also comes shortly after the examination body failed in its pilot JAMB mock test last Saturday The registrar of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board Ishaq Oloyede on Thursday, April 13, visited the Chief of Army Staff Tukur Buratai at the Nigerian Army headquarters in Abuja. NAIJ.com gathered that the visit by Oloyede and some staff of the examination board is a courtesy one in preparation of the forthcoming JAMB exam. The visit comes after the tertiary examination body failed in its pilot mock JAMB test which was scheduled to hold on Saturday, April 8.

It also announced the extension of the registration for candidates to May 5, while the UTME will begin on May 13 and end on May 20. “The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board wishes to apologize to candidates and other stakeholders. We could not go on with the Mock Examination and hereby announce extension of registration exercise of the 2017 UTME," JAMB said in a statement.

Instead of the earlier announced April 19, the deadline for the sale of forms and registration will now extend to Friday, May 5, 2017. Consequently, the 2017 UTME has also been postponed to start on Saturday, May 13 – 20, 2017.
