The ICT unit at the University of Benin have developed an
indegenous software that would be used in conducting JAMB Computer
Based Testing exams (CBT). In a statement released by the university
Vice Chancellor, prof Orumwense, he revealed that the software was

undergone some major innovations and enhancement. Some of which
includes setting and holding the first multimedia aided senate
meeting, provision of advanced E-learning equipment to facilitate
better learning and teaching, setting up a underground optic fibre
cable networks to provided constant broadband connection.
Adding, he said that the school had jumped on the trend of
computer based exams as their Post Unified Tertiary Exams(Post UTME)
are now computer based.
The CBT exams were introduce into Nigeria in 2013 by the Joint
Admissions and Matriculation Board. Since then it has received
widespread recognition and approval.

FOR THE LADIES, THESE 6 THINGS COULD MAKE A GOOD MAN LOSE INTEREST IN YOU INSTANTLY.

Image:lovepolarityandpassion.com
Its a regular thing, you see this guy, who walks across the space
to meet you. You chat, there's this initial beep. Contacts are
exchanged, flirty messages are sent and received. Within days you are
on your first date, you second, your third, then...
Something goes wrong.
Its not uncommon for a girl who has every reasons to feel
very secure in a relationship, only for the guy to suddenly withdraw,
disappear into the thin air, never picking his calls or replying her
messages. Really frustrating, and in most situations its not a case of
some "no chemistry" stuff. Its just happens, not once, not twice and
then the girl might begin to wonder if there's something wrong with
her.
But the thing is, no relationship is the same with the others,
and so the reasons why this guy left you may likely not be the same
the next guy after him will have. But to just to get the hang of
things,these six reasons could just make a guy lose interest in you.

1) You're just too boring: On the average men tend to live more active
lives than women. If you just don't know how to reply a guys
questions and jibes, if you don't how to respond to his opinions,
ideas and views. If you can't connect with the way he thinks, bringing
his ideas on a table and putting some spice on it, then don't be angry
if he loses interest. You are plain BORING!
Boring dates and meetings could be horrible, well with men its
no less. Its going be quite difficult finding a guy who is comfortable
pushing the conversation alone, while you simple reply with
nods,blushes,yes and no's. There's no way round this other than
working on yourself. You could just be boring because you haven't
read books or watched enough movies and shows. Or maybe you are the
kind who doesn't take interest in your environment. Give change a long
term trial, build your ideas, reshape and prune your social mentality
with books, movies, magazines. It help's you flow with his
conversations.

2) Too rigid, too uptight, too strict: Some ladies can easily be
defined by these phrases. Men get turned off the instant the discover
you're the strict, no-nonsense-ever kind of person. You just can't
take a jovial comment and laugh it off with some playful beating,
instead your reply comes out this way-" what! How dare you!" , "is
that an insult?" "What do you take me for". Ladies please understand
that life is a comedy stage, and the action word is laughter. Humour
and sacarsms are important aspects of our existence . A relationship
that is spiced up with humour once in a little while would hardly
drift into the wind.

3) You are out of shape: For guys, physical attraction is paramount
for a relationship. In essence, just find out if you have lost the
spark you physically had the first day you met. Maybe you've just lost
your guard and put on too much stomach and hip fat. Or have you stop
using that special skin tone oil. You've left your make up kit because
you think you have a guy who may not care that much about your looks.
Wait until you're back to the gym, and posting some
show-him-what-he's-missing pics on instagram. Learn!

4)You are too selfish and self centred: Want to know why he isn't
interested any longer, because he doesn't want a gold digger! Many
ladies throw all "consciousness" to the wind the moment they are with
a guy. Its all about me,myself and I. Grab,take, hold. I want this, I
want that. This is very bad and is common in Nigeria and as much as I
know its a piss off. Some ladies don't want to care about the feelings
of their "man" all they seek is their own satisfaction in the
relationship.
Relationship is a two way thing (this is from the men's table) and
each partner is expected to care for the other's feelings. A friend
told me of a girl he met in school for the first, while he was
interested in knowing her, she had interests in what his favourite
snack was. Finally landing the discussion on shawarma-( a sausage
popular in Nigeria), she demanded he got her one on the spot. He did
anyway, but guess, he didn't even get her contact and he never talked
to her again. An advice: Try to be the giver in the relation. As human
being you never run out of care to give. Learn this or you would make
him think he has nothing to lose if he leaves.
5)You talk too much: You never get to listen to him, you think because
you pumped full with ideas and experiences, and so you just
ramble,rumble and tumble everything out. Friend, you are not a radio
station, neither are you a rapper, even if you are, its a conversation
not a message. Its give and take. To help, just make the habit of
talking no more than 20 seconds without allowing him react to whatever
you said so far. And watch his eyes, it would tell if you said a
relevant thing or not.

6)Too competitive: A guy will be happy to lose you with the best
wishes if all you do is counter his statements. Always ready to do the
opposite of whatever he says, and worst of all making the mistake of
comparing him with other men grrrh! Maybe you're just allowing your
past dating experiences haunt you, and so you want to show him you
have learnt a few lessons in being resistant, get ready to lose him.
Or you're the extremist in feminist ideas, nothing wrong in holding up
your pride as a woman, but then compromise is necessary in
relationships too. And a good guy will respect you for that.

ZARIA INSTITUTION DISCOVERS "VACCINE" THAT COULD REDUCE TOMATO SCARCITY.

Image credit:forfoodonly.com

Nigeria has just recorded a scientific discovery that has
valuable agricultural applications. Earlier today, the National
Research Institute for Chemical Technology announced that they have
finally found a cure for a ravaging tomato plant disease- Tuta
Absoluta. A disease popularly known as "tomato ebola".
In an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Zaria, the
public relations office of the institution Alhaji Bala Aliyu revealed
that the discovery had been a project the institute had been working
hard on for a long time. He also said that the discovery could easily
exterminate the disease from Nigerian farms, adding the the outrageous
increase in the market price of tomatoes was just as a result of the
tons of plants that have been destroyed by the defect causing disease.
The institute's public officer also that the institute was
partnering with other organisations of its kind and regulatory groups
both home and abroad to test the vaccine extensively. According to
him, the institution was going to work hard to make sure the vaccine
would complete its final testing stages soon and be launched.
Stressing on the importance of getting the vaccine into tomato farms,
he said that it was solely the responsibilty if the Federal Government
to take the vaccine down to the farmers.

FG SCRAPS POST UTME, APPROVES 180 JAMB CUT-OFF MARK.

The Federal Government has shifted its focus and has chosen to
scrap the Post Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination. Prior to
the announcement, Post UTME had been a compulsory condition for
admission into any Nigerian tertiary institution. Also included in the
set of decisions reached in a meeting to discuss the admission
processes for tertiary institutions, the Federal Government and
stakeholders pinned down the JAMB admission cut-off mark at 180.
The minister for Education in Nigeria, Mallam Adamu Adamu,
stated the reason for the policy during the meeting. His reason was
that since the body in charge of education and the nation had
confidence in JAMB, there was no valid reason in having tertiary
schools conduct their own admission exams. Adding, he said that
whatever problems the the schools may have with JAMB would be duly
addressed if brought to them.
The Post UTME was introduced in 2005 by the then minister of
education, Chinwe Obaji, who as a reason asserted that the post utme
was a second checkpoint to ensure that only qualified candidates got
admitted into tertiary schools. Ever since, schools especially
universities have been accused of using Post UTME as an opportunity to
squeeze money out of candidates. Also, many complaints of poor
organisation during the exams by the schools have been raised. In
2007, former president, Yar'Adua suggested that the screening process
could be scrapped if the complaints should continue.
Suggestions have been raised from many corners against the idea
of removing an important checkpoint that helps a lot in purifying
admission process. Others feel the system should be improved and
registration forms set at a fixed price by the FG.
What about you? Do you want it scrapped? Get your ideas and

20 COUNTRIES WITH THE LOWEST NUMBER OF DIVORCE CASES IN 2016

Divorce has almost become a celebrated norm in the world. Gone
are the when the word was a taboo never to be mentioned, and the
people involved stigmatised. With the chances of getting the right
partner reducing by 3% every five years, "For better for worse" isn't
a feature in most marriage unions anymore. In some countries couples
are even told to sign marriage divorce contingencies before their
wedding!
The rate of divorce geographically isn't the same,it varies
mainly as result of traditions and cultural ideals. In some countries
such as the US you could get as many as 53% divorce rating. Meaning
that getting ten people who have ever been married in their lives, 5
would be divorcees, and out of every 1000 marriages, 500 end up in
legal separation. Very high. But some regions in europe do actually
boast of 70% rating.
Down the valley, we have countries who probably due to the grip of
culture and tradition over the life of its citizens, do not record so
much as 3% from year to year. Want to take a look?
Note, this report is based on "crude divorce" rating. That is the
number of divorce cases per 1000 marriages.

1)Guatemala---0.32
2)Peru---0.45
3)Uzbekistan---0.63
4)Ireland---0.67
5)Bahrain---0.7
