Over 10,000 Candidates Caught Cheating In Anambra- JAMB

The Joint Admissions Matriculation Board (JAMB) says

more than 10,000 candidates caught for examination

malpractices in the on-going UTME in Anambra have

been handed over to the appropriate authority.

Mrs Lynda Nwachukwu, the Coordinator of the board

in Anambra disclosed this to the News Agency of

Nigeria (NAN) in Awka on Saturday.

NAN reports that the all computer-based testing (CBT)

mode 2017 UTME, which started on May 13 in 642

centres nationwide, ended on May 20.

Nwachukwu said that the examination, which took

place in 28 centres in the state, was successful.

"There was no disruption of the exercise in any of the

examination centres,'' she said.

The coordinator said that the candidates adhered

strictly to the requirements of the examination,

adding that JAMB provided all the materials required

for the examination.

NAN correspondent, who monitored the last batch of

the examination, reports that some parents

complained of system failure in some CBT centres in

the state.

Mrs Eucharia Okonkwo, a parent, said her daughter,

who wrote the examination at the St Mary's High

School Ifite-Dunu centre, could not complete the

examination due to the faulty computer and network

failure at the centre.

According to her daughter, many candidates could

not complete the questions in record time because of

the faulty system.

Okonkwo advised JAMB to plan well for examination

in subsequent years to avoid the technical hitches

that could give the candidates psychological trauma.

Dr. Mose Mojekeh, Head, Department of Marketing at

the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, told

NAN on a telephone, that such system failure in

UTME was not acceptable.

According to him, the hiccups could potentially deny

young people from Anambra State, university

admission.

Mojekeh advised JAMB to urgently collate the number

of candidates affected and set another examination

for them.

He also decried the practice whereby JAMB sends

officials from one state to supervise examinations in

another state.

"Experience has shown that such officials do not care

much about the candidates when problems arise, as

they leave them to their fate,'' the lecturer said.

He called on the management of schools, whose

candidates experienced the computer failure, to take

their complaints to the State Ministry of Education to

present their cases.

6 indecent ways some Nigerian girls dress to church

The church stands as the yardstick for decency simply because it's believed to be a gathering that pleases to God. Most church leadership focus on preaching the gospel and so most times, people appear however they like to the holy gathering, forgetting to consider decency in their style and fashion. Indecency in church is like corruption in government; it ruins things. As much as the gospel preaches that God looks only inward and not the outward, the effect of indecency goes beyond the surroundings of the church. It poisons the minds some innocent members, it paints the church in a bad light to the public and a host of negativity that shouldn't come from the church. Check out the type of outfits some girls tend to wear to church. 1. Bosom on display 2. Definitely forgot to go home to change for church after hitting the club
