Scored Below 150 in JAMB UTME 2017?…. Here’s A Good News For You

This thread is for candidates who
scored below 150 in the 2016
Unified tertiary Matriculation
Examination.
You may have concluded that no
admission is coming forth for you this
year considering your score.
However, the saying that there is no
problem without a solution stands
true even in this case.
We want to use this medium to guide
you on the next step to take.
One thing I need you to know before I
continue is that JAMB UTME is not the
only gateway to a higher institution.
Since the 2017 UTME wasn't favorable
to you, you may need to consider
other alternatives to securing
admission.
There are four alternatives you need
to consider now, namely; pre-degree
programmes (Universities) , Evening
Programmes (polytechnics) , Part-
time programmes (universities and
polytechnics) and Interim Joint
Matriculation Board (IJMB).
The Pre-Degree Programme is offered
by many universities and is designed
to support candidates who did not
meet certain requirements for
admission. The candidates are usually
admitted into a degree programme of
their choice after completing the pre-
degree programme which usually
lasts for a year.
Candidates who apply for part-time
and evening progammes get admitted
directly to 100 level just like UTME
candidates, the only difference here is
you are likely going to spend one
additional year. That is 5 years for a
course a UTME candidate would have
spent 4 years on. Also the tuition fees
are usually high.
IJMB means Interim Joint
Matriculation Board, while IJMBE is
the "Examination" itself. IJMB is an
Advanced-Level (A-Level) Course,
which you take for 9 months, after
which you take a final exam that gives
you a certificate.
IJMB seems to be the best alternative
because the certificate obtained at the
end of the programme can be used to
apply for 200 Level Admission into
institutions like UNILAG, ABU,
UNILORIN, UNIPORT.
However, if all these options do not
suit you, you have one other last
option. That is, TRYING AGAIN.
That you did not succeed this year
does not mean you will not succeed
next year.
I wish you all the best as you make
your decisions. You can use this
medium to interact among yourselves
and share valuable information that
will help one another.

UN Special Envoy on Tuberculosis: Giving Voice to the Voiceless 03/24/2016 07:24 am ET| Updated 2

A giant ribbon will not hang in front of the White House. No marches will be held. The lights on the Empire State building will not shine a special color. Instead, March 24th - World TB Day-is just like most any other day. Little attention will be paid to the fact that tuberculosis is now the number one infectious disease killer in the world. TB has long been the stepchild of the three major global health diseases - AIDS, TB and malaria. A major reason why is that TB primarily impacts people living in poverty, those who are voiceless or whose voices are simply ignored. It is ironic that a curable disease remains a disease fighting to gain attention. It is also ironic that at a time when Ebola and Zika have put our nation on notice about serious health threats, the same concern is not given to TB, which can spread like wildfire just by coughing. We need to look no further than Marion, Alabama to see how quickly TB can overwhelm a city. TB in Marion is now worsethan in man...

SHORT LOVE STORIES

A girl asked a boy if she was pretty, he said "No". She asked him if he wanted to be with her forever, he said "No". Then she asked him if he would cry if she walked away, he said "No". She had heard enough; she needed to leave. As she walked away he grabbed her arm and told her to stay. He said "You're not pretty, you're beautiful. I don`t want to be with you forever, I need to be with you forever. And I wouldn't cry if you walked away, I would die." A man bought 12 flowers. 11 real and 1 fake. He said, "I will love you until the last flower dies." Boy: Can I take a photo? Girl: Why? Boy: I just want to show my children how their mom looked when she was younger. There was a girl named Becca and a boy named Joe. Becca was in a burning house. None of the firefighters could get in the house because the fire was too big. Joe dressed in one of the fire suits and got into the house. When he got up the stairs, the ...
