JAMB Postpones UTME mock examinations for 2018

The 2018 JAMB UTME Mock examination which was ealier scheduled to hold between January 22 and 24 has been moved to the first week in February. The reason for the postponement was necessitated by the fact that some of the CBT centres located within campuses cannot be used due to the ongoing strike action by NASU. However, the date for the main examination which was ealier scheduled to commence on March 9th, 2018 and end on March 17th, 2018 remains the same.  So far, 283,319 out of the expected 2 million candidates have registered for the 2018 UTME. credit; myschool

HOW TO CHECK YOUR GAS CYLINDER EXPIRY DATE

Image
LPG (  Liquid petroleum gas ) is the most used cooking fuel in India and many other countries. Not only does it make your mother's kitchen work convenient, it is also a live bomb sitting just next to her almost all the time. Did you know that there is an expiry date (physical life) for LPG cylinders? Expired Cylinders are not safe for use and can cause lethal accidents. Here is how you can check the expiry date of LPG cylinders: On one of three side stems of the cylinder, the expiry date is coded alpha numerically which starts with A, B, C or D followed by a two digit number. e.g. D06. The alphabets stand for quarters - A for March (First Qtr), B for June (Second Qtr), C for Sept (Third Qtr), D for December (Fourth Qtr). The digits stand for the year till it is valid. Hence D-06 would mean December quarter of 2006. So next time your delivery boy comes with a re-fill cylinder, make sure you check the expiry date. Many local LPG re-fillers even conceal the da...

Read below for awesome poetry! 100-DAY-POETRY-CHALLENGE Day 1; OUR MESSIAHS The joyous nightingale that secures happiness Sang a hym of Jabesh And laughter hid in the face of Isaac How dare I sing the song of hope And sway to the tune of victory Spoofing celestial beings who sing "hallelujah" When my soil is barren of fruits And my hope withers like dry leaves? Messiahs have journeyed from Gomorrah And Moses from Sodom to bring my people out of Egypt To occupy the long desired  honey land of promise Laughter over tears, they promised Plenty over famine, they echoed To buy the heart of men and secure the sceptre of power We revered their benevolence with pride And chanted their eulogy on our street But now... Hunger has taken over our table And our road filled with empty stomachs Shuffling their legs on the street like Israelites in the wilderness Who made...
