Jamb at it again- 59,000 candidates to retake jamb exam-JAMB
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board on Friday said the board would reschedule examination for candidates who missed the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination because of relocation of centres by the board.
The board said it relocated 59,000 candidates in 15 states because of problems in some of the centres. It also said candidates who had system failure during the examination would retake it, if the board finds their complaint to be genuine.
The Registrar of the board, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, who said this at a press conference in Abuja, added that the new development does not affect candidates who missed the examination deliberately or failed in the examination. Ojerinde said among the 1,546,633 candidates that sat for the 2016 UTME, 145,704 had issues of multiple results, which have been resolved by the board. Prof. Ojerinde added that 23,577 candidates were absent on the day of the examination. “We relocated candidates where the board had challenges. The board is looking at some of the issues raised during the examination, but most of the excuses raised by candidates are flimsy,” he said. “We relocated about 59, 000 candidates due to the problems in various centres which vary from town to town. There are about 59,000 of them spread across 15 states of the federation. “Those that were relocated never suffered any setback or inconvenience. For all these two sets of people, I want to apologise sincerely for what happened to them, but we are going to put on a redress for those whose relocation affected them in missing their examination. “Let me use this opportunity to offer explanation on the issue of the much-publicized two results. The process of our marking involves transformation and other qualitative programming. In the process of these configurations, we had a little challenge which we quickly corrected and ensured that this never happened in subsequent results. This challenge was only associated with the candidates that sat for this examination on Saturday, 27, and some candidates of Monday, 29 February, 2016.”
Prof. Ojerinde said the board found out that some of the over 500 centres used for the CBT was compromised by the operators. He said that one of its centres in Uromi, Edo State was invaded by mercenaries during the examination. He blamed the education consultants for mobilizing candidates to protest against the conduct of the examination by the board, adding that the quality of the centres used for UTME would not be compromised. He said: “In our quest to have adequate and effective centres for the exercise, we approved over 500 centres, but unfortunately, some of the centre operators were not sincere in proving us with the true position of their facilities. “They hired equipment during the period of accreditation and other necessary apparatus and on the examination day, they were found wanting. This led to relocation or rescheduling of candidates from some of them to more suitable centres.”
Ojerinde said Nigeria was ready to take the CBT examination, adding that reverting to the PPT as directed by the House of Representatives would amount to lack of progress. According to him, the CBT would be improved upon. He said: “Even the physically challenged are taking the CBT examination. One of the blind candidates scored 286, so why should others complain? “Going back to the Paper and Pencil Test will amount to taking one step forward and two steps backwards.” The Nation.

MUST READ: Why some men don't enjoy sex
MUST READ: Why some men don't enjoy sex
The reason why some men do not want to have sex is that they no longer enjoy sex.
And they no longer enjoy sex because they do not have erection any longer. Although it is not everyone who agrees with this notion, there are salient issues being raised by the medical expert on why this is so with men.
Although it is not everyone who agrees with this notion, there are salient issues being raised by the medical expert on why this is so with men.
Dr Taiwo Fadeyi, a sex therapist, who shared the reasons many men do no enjoy having intercourse with their spouses.
1. Hormonal imbalances
The most important stimulant of sexual desire is testosterone. Many men are mistakenly sent to have a blood test for total testosterone when low libido is the issue. Men who do not enjoy sex at all already have a problem of testosterone, a hormone that is responsible for erection.
Moreover, these type of men in their youths does not have anything to do with sex and they are referred to as the Eunuchs. However, they are not the same as homosexuals. Homosexuals enjoy sex with the same sex. It is not that they do not have sex.
2. Turn off from sex
Some men get bored with sex that is not fulfilling to them and they turn off from sexual activity. This can be related to specific things that his partner does during sexual intercourse. This type of men feel criticized or may have sexual interest that he knows or fears his partner may not share.
3. Disagreement with spouse
This has to do with some women. A woman could become a nag. When a man has a nagging wife who becomes a terror at home, the husband would rather not have sex with her. If he has to beg her for sex or the woman uses sex as a weapon to punish him, then his interest will be lost completely.
According to Dr Fadeyi, we have to differentiate men who do not want to have sex with their wives and those who do not enjoy sex. Those who do not want to have sex with their wives have extra-marital affairs. These type of men do not have erectile dysfunction. The wives have pushed them out of the home. It is either the couple is sexually incompatible or the wife is becoming difficult.
4. Stress
Another reason is that they lose interest when they undergo a lot a stress. Stress comes in many forms; it could be financial stress, emotional stress, stress at work, bad economy, no money to pay children fees. These type of men, according to Dr Fadeyi, are called stress induced. Unlike women who can fake an erection, it is either you have an erection or you do not have an erection, he says.
5. Masturbation
Some men self stimulate in a particular way and train themselves to trigger ejaculation and orgasm in that way only. For some women, this issue is a blessing to them while for others it is a frustrating and disappointing outcome. It is advisable that a partner knows her man’s erotic idiosyncrasies’ as some men take their sexual desires into their own hands by masturbating to porn videos, movies and so on.
6. Erectile dysfunction
Many men who have an erectile dysfunction that leads to loss of libido or total impotent avoid having sex with their partner because they have difficulties functioning sexually.
7. The woman is no longer attractive
When you are attracted to someone, your whole body switches on. Attraction is a symphony in which different instruments- the voice, charisma, and body language play a part it is like you get in the mood for love. A woman who was pretty when you marry her and suddenly by the time she starts giving birth, she became fat, obese then the husband can no longer take her out. A woman can have sex without enjoying it. If a man does not like the partner, he will not have an erection. In addition, if the wife suddenly becomes dirty, having body odour, sweat, the man will lost interest.
8. Health issues
Health issues like heart problems, hypertension, heart attack, kidney problem might reduce the urge for sex, says Dr Fadeyi.
9. Drugs
Anti-depressant drugs, pain relievers, anti-anxiety drugs and others can also lead to quick ejaculation and orgasm
10. Impairment
However, when a man pays too much attention to his partners’ experience, he loses erotic focus, which can interfere with ejaculation and orgasm. If the problem is erectile dysfunction, you will need to see a urologist. But if it is because the relationship has gone sour, they you go and see a marriage counselor. Meanwhile a woman will have different reasons that have tampered with her sex life. Therefore, a visit to a doctor first, is the best option. When she meets with the doctor, she will tell why she is not enjoying sex, so the doctor will be able to follow up from there. But basically, everybody must see a doctor, Dr Fadeyi advises.
