Ibadan Few weeks ago, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP was almost reinventing itself casting away the bickering image that shadowed it into its woeful electoral performance of last year. In meetings that were at one time thought to be impossible, political enemies sat side by side and sang songs of forgiveness. In attendance at one of such meetings few weeks ago were Senator Lekan Balogun, Alhaji Yekini Adeojo, Elder Wole Oyelese, Oloye Jumoke Akinjide, Senator Teslim Folarin, Chief Olayiwola Lakojo, Dr. Saka Balogun who represented the former Governor of the state, Chief Adebayo Alao-Akala and many others. However, four weeks after, the political rivalry they had openly declared to have buried has resurfaced and this time with even stronger vehemence. Alliances have been redefined and former friends turned enemies and the ruling Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN which only four weeks ago was fidgeting over the PDP reconciliation now in a bounce even with its own crisis with labour. The crisis came to a head during the recent state congress of the party held about two weeks ago when those who had claimed to have patched up their differences held separate elective congresses.

The website initially experienced a dragging performance as the news of the result released gradually filtered into the internet airspace and going viral. The total shutdown came just hours after the official announcement by the Jamb Registrar, Prof Dibu Ojerinde, to newsmen in Abuja. As at the time of writing, the website still remained down as we believe the Jamb I.T. team are trying to get the portal back online. Rumours coming in from our sources say that another portal with a different website is likely to be launched for the result checking only. We're closely monitoring all the assumed portals and we can assure you that once the portals are back online, you'll be the first to know.

This is the question on every aspirants' lips this period, since the conclusion of the UTME on 24th March. It was gather by myschoolcomm that even the Jamb Officials don't know exactly when the results will be out as they keep saying "Before the week runs out". We however gathered that Last year, the exam was written on Saturday 18th June, 2011 and the results were released on Thursday 23rd June, 2011. As Jamb always tries to beat the records of previous years, we therefore expect the results to be out on or before Thursday 29th March. Other analysts however, tend to disagree with the above date due to the introduction of the "Colour Type" for papers, saying that the results will be released Midnight Friday. Well the truth is that no one is sure about the exact date and time. We therefore urge aspirant not to be too desperate because when the results are out, you will be the first to know on Myschoolcomm.com Feel free and relax, you will excel this year.

Born on January 4, 1910, Ena Pugh and Lily Millward have spent each of their birthdays together. They were presented with copies of the Guinness World Records book, which includes their entry. More from the Daily Mail: Lily’s proud daughter Dianne Powell, 65, told Wales News Service: ‘My mum’s recovering in hospital after she slipped and fell just before Christmas. But she’s in good spirits and enjoying the attention of being one of the world’s oldest twins. ‘Ena pops in to see her in hospital when she can – they are very close. And despite the terrible weather she made a special effort to get together on their birthday.’ The English twins were born before the beginning of World War I, and they still meet up for weekly shopping trips and talk on the phone nearly every day. Lily Millward said “laughter and having a joke with each other” has been the secret to their longevity. “We used to work on the farm all day, but we would enjoy ourselves,’ Millward said. ‘It was a lot of fun and sociable. We’ve been very lucky and we have always had good health.” And the twins manage to get by without some modern technological innovations, including central heating. “Until my mum’s accident, they would jump on a bus on their own every Friday so they can go shopping together and have a chat over a cup of tea,” Powell said. “And they ring each other almost every evening although they are both very hard of hearing— they can’t really always know what the other is saying but just enjoy talking to each other.”Share your opinion.JOURNAL27http://www.blogger.com/profile/02150340956498081222noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1864810522720331058.post-74068263761284328762012-03-25T10:17:00.000+01:002012-03-25T10:17:03.857+01:002012-03-25T10:17:03.857+01:00At 78, most pensioners are reliant on the glasses to even read a newspaper.

She said, “I wanted to do something useful with my life and show people my capabilities. “As soon as I shot my first pistol I was hooked. And now I’ve shown everyone there are no disadvantages to my age. If you’re focused you can do anything.” Almost 10 years ago Chandro took her granddaughter to a local firing range in Johri village, in Uttar Pradesh, India. She wanted to learn a new skill but was too shy to go alone. In the end it was Chandro who was welcomed into the club with open arms. “As I was waiting around I decided to have a go. The coach spotted me and was amazed at my aim,’ she said. ‘He told me to come back so I did. Initially I was just supporting my granddaughter but I enjoyed it so much it became a passion and I looked forward to going to the club every week.” While Chandro tended to her daily chores on her farm and raised her family, she practised her aim whenever she could using stones and throwing them at water bottles. The club’s coach, Farooq Pathan, who set up the shooting club with two friends in 1998, said, “I was surprised when I saw a pensioner in our group but she picked it up pretty quickly. “She was so good some of the men stopped turning up altogether to avoid being humiliated by her, an old woman. She has the ultimate skill, a steady hand and a sharp eye.” And now she’s a national treasure, known throughout India for her skill, even winning gold at the Veteran Shooting Championship held in Chennai. But her biggest fan is her daughter Seema, who is also an international shooting star becoming the first Indian woman to win a medal at the Rifle and Pistol World Cup. “She is amazing,” she said. “If she can do it, then so can we. She showed us that anything is possible. She has helped so many of us improve our lives. “Many members of the club have gone on to even find jobs with the military, and police force, because of her encouragement.” Chandro had an experience with the police herself, proudly beating an officer at one competition. She said, “I defeated the DeputyInspector General (DIG) of Delhi police. It was brilliant.” But medals or no medals, life at home never changes for Chandro and she still cooks, cleans and cares for herfamily, making sure dinner is served before firing some bullets down at her local range and helping to carve out future success stories from the club.Share your opinion.JOURNAL27http://www.blogger.com/profile/02150340956498081222noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1864810522720331058.post-61372641000787347792012-03-23T13:26:00.000+01:002012-03-23T13:26:00.927+01:002012-03-23T13:26:00.927+01:00The full Potter's Wheel: Summary, General information about the literature: The Potters Wheel, published by Chukwuemeka Ike, told the story of an only son, Obuechina, shortly called as 'Obu'. He was the only Son of Mazi Lazarus (Mazi Laza) and Misus (Mama Obu), after they had five daughters and prayed fervently to have a boy. Obu was born and another girl was birthed after Obu. Obu, known by his 'large head' while he was four, didn't want to go to school, but the parents, suspecting that he would be brilliant at Academics, turned no listening hear at him. They had fondly believed that his large was a tanker of brains. As if they knew it, Obu was making first position in his classes and they made pride with it. Obu, being the only child was mother's favorite and apparently spoilt, because the mother would not want him to undertake any of the domestic chores. Misus always shared all the works among the girls. Only two weeks before Obu would be Nine, Misus (Mama Obu) raised worries about Obu, as observers and spiritualists had warned that Obu was an Ogbanje boy. Misus quickly contracted Nwomiko, a reputed Ogbanje Saviour woman, to help deliver Obu from the Ogbanje world. Mazi was not wholly part of the decision because of his church catechist. Misus prevailed and Nwomiko was brought in to deliver Obu. According to Nwomiko, Obu had signed to die at his Ninth birthday (only two weeks), but she delivered Obu. Obu survived. Mazi, desirous of Obu's success, sent him to live with a strict Teacher Zacheus (Zach) and his wife, Madam Deborah - a barren woman, strict alike. The decision was to make sure that Obu grew up responsibly. Obu and Misus objected, but Mazi prevailed. At Teacher's house in Aka, Obu met an entirely new set of characters and situations. He would not be pampered like his mother did back home at Umuchukwu. He adjusted but didn't find it easy. Several things changed about him, but he maintained his brilliance in his Academics. Mazi, one year later, sent a visitor, Madu, to check on Obu, but Obu held the advantage to return home with Madu. He never wished to return to Aka. His mother, sisters and friends were happy at this development, but his father advised him to return. Obu protested, but his father gave him a brief anecdote with examples of two persons who were age-mates. One was a success story and the other was an example of an undesirable end. Mazi asked Obu to choose amongst the two. Obu liked the successful man in Mazi's analogy. Mazi told him that the same strict Teacher Zacheus trained the Successful man. On 4th January, 1944, Obu voluntarily returned to live with Teacher Zacheus at Aka, being desirous of same success story as told him by Mazi, his father.
