Book Cheap Accommodation with Airbnb Abuja for Short Stays

Abuja is the capital city of Nigeria. Abuja sits right in the center of Nigeria and is a well planned city. However the city mostly hinges on the sketch plan drafted in the 1980s and the city is dominated by an enormous monolith named Aso Rock. All these structures combined make a great sight and you should book your accommodation provided by hotels in Abuja to enjoy them.

Another Pattern: She's a Saboteur

I can't stay here, it's off brand-London

I can't stay here, fire hazard-South Africa

I can't stay here, security threat-Nigeria

Conclusion

When she's pre-booked for "complimentary" hotel accommodations that are beneath her standards, MEgain (Queen Jezebel 2.0) pretends to go along with "their plan," but all the while she's taking deliberate steps to undermine the reservation.

Palace aides observed a similar pattern during her 72 days of "work" in the BRF---she set-up the "role" to fail from the very beginning. #conartist

JAN MOIR: What do Charles and William think about the Spencers' very public embrace of Harry which could cast them in cold and unflattering light? by u/Von_und_zu_

JAN MOIR: What do Charles and William think about the Spencers' very public embrace of Harry which could cast them in cold and unflattering light? Witty prose from Jan. Ruddy of face, snowy of hair and thick of calf, the elder Spencers entered the cathedral like a shire farmer and his clan visiting a county fair to give the sugar beets a good old squeeze. \**And do you know what? I'm so very glad they were there for him. It's too sad to think of Harry flying over here, fretfully offsetting his carbon footprint, clutching his little box of medals, thrumming his fingers on his temples, his anxiety levels rising as the dog-bowl threat and the road less travelled rise up to meet him yet again. \**The Spencers don't have to forgive the Sussexes or accommodate their peeved intransigence or just seethe and suck it up. For Prince Harry has no beef with his Uncle Charles, nor has he ever hoisted his sauceboat of hot sulk to pour the usual grievance gravy over lovely Aunt Jane.He hasn't accused either of them, or anyone in their immediate family, of being racists, bullies, sneaks, liars and downright stinking rotters. He hasn't trashed them or betrayed them in books, podcasts or on television interviews watched by millions around the world. He hasn't caused reputational damage to their family, like he has elsewhere, ahem.He even thanked Earl Spencer and Lady Jane in the acknowledgments section of his autobiography, Spare — an honour accorded to absolutely no one in his inner blood circle.So their support was nice, and so was the small, cheering crowd of blimps who turned up for him, too. Not everyone hates Prince Harry for smearing his family — and by extension the entire country — as a racist backwater full of repressive thickos unable to see the bigger picture or wake up and smell the roses, like him and his sainted wife.Speaking of which, such a shame that the Duchess of Sussex was not at Harry's side this week, patting him like a puppy as per, holding his hand, sharing in the dim glow of this rare show of public popularity.Certainly, it is not like Meghan to miss a full on, super-swank opportunity like this; she's usually all over Invictus ceremonies like a regimental mascot on parade. It brings out her inner drum majorette, it gives her a sham regal sheen — so why the unexplained absence?Spencers or no Spencers, the Duchess hasn't got a proper excuse for avoiding the UK this week and the truth is that she doesn't even need one any more. The cavalry has been and gone, the dust has settled and we all know where we stand.Next stop, Nigeria. And I simply cannot wait for that.https://ift.tt/n6WN8AD post link: https://ift.tt/PbJBNfV author: Von_und_zu_ submitted: May 10, 2024 at 04:38AM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit disclaimer: all views + opinions expressed by the author of this post, as well as any comments and reblogs, are solely the author's own; they do not necessarily reflect the views of the administrator of this Tumblr blog.

THE SEVENTH HOUSE IN ASTROLOGY: ITS RULER IN YOUR CHART

The ruler of your seventh house in a different house tells you a lot about your relationship. The seventh house rules all types of relationships, not just romantic.

Please note, these are pointers to help you understand. These are not total explanations. The whole is greater than the parts. That means the whole chart needs to be taken into consideration. The planet, also says more. We shall look at two almost similar charts for comparison and examples. See the end of this article about the two charts, yes I do offer astrology readings here.

In the first house it shows your relationships playing a huge part in your identity. The first house opposes the 7th, so this shows conflict and opposition. You have to grow as a person so that the relationships you are in both professionally, family, friendship, as a parent, as a sibling, as a relative as a partner etc, do not be a bad picture about you. For instance people who are known to be people pleasers and also those people known to always fight with everyone. Another group is people who suddenly become a new person with each relationship, like a shape shifter.People who have committed identity theft and also those who have taken a partners criminal charges, tend to have this placement.

In the second house means your values strongly influence your relationships. Overly religious people, red pillers and podcast bros plus their followers, are explained by this. Unless Gemini is the sign in the seventh or second house, then the above applies. However, with those placements, this is someone who goes about embodying other peoples values so that they can fit in and be accepted.

In the third house this shows communication styles. You speak to people the way you speak too yourself and you may find yourself heavily preoccupied with dissecting what was said to you and what you want to say to others because you either don't care(Aries) or you don’t want to hurt anyone.

In the fourth house shows someone looking for home in everyone.

In the fifth house shows over extending yourself.

In your sixth house shows being unable to navigate relationships, being unavailable or people pleasing. Pushing everything out of your schedule to be over accommodating. The type of person who worries that if they do not show up for people, something bad will happen. Relax, they will be okay without you.

In your seventh house shows taking all relationships seriously and not being willing to let go.

In the eighth house shows someone seeing relationships as transactional where they keep taking from people. This does not come out point blank as someone always borrowing, this is also someone seeing themselves as a charity case and just depending on everyone around them.

In the ninth house shows relationships with smarter people(usually more educated) and also from different cultures. Foreign relationships.

In the tenth house shows relationships being very terms and conditions. Very conditional love. If there is an aspect to the first house,this also shows very conditional love to yourself.

In the eleventh house shows a lot of online friends. This is someone with success under anonymous accounts. Great ghost writers. Great writers with pen names. A community person on the ground. These type of people tend to be very different offline and online. Very different people at home and outside. Yes, this is an indicator of abusive people.

In the twelfth house is people that gravitate towards cults and performative spirituality. So easy to be scammed, so easy to be dragged into dangerous spiritual, psychological and ‘mindfulness’ practices. Finds belonging and peace in lies and manipulation. They lie to themselves more than they lie to others. For instance, believing you have a cryptic pregnancy and you gave birth yet you never did at all. Theres a documentary in Nigeria on that. Also when very Michelle Phan.

These two charts below seem similar. (Birth time 12.11pm and 9.11pm on December 19th 2024, Nairobi, Kenya.)

However they aren't. They belong to people born on the same day, same location but different times. One is a Pisces rising and the other is a Leo rising. The Pisces rising has Virgo in their 7H which makes Mercury the ruler of their 7th House(Mercury rules Virgo). The Leo rising has Aquarius in their 7H which makes Saturn the ruler of their 7H(Saturn rules Aquarius in traditional Astrology, which I'm using here).

As mentioned, you also need to take into consideration the planet. In this case, Mercury rules communication and the mind amongst other things. Mercury is also trickster energy. Saturn rules hard work or doing things the hard way, responsibility, rewards and punishments amongst other things.

So for a start, the Pisces rising will view relationships with trust issues and scepticism. They will try to tricked before they are tricked and always believe someone is out to get them. They may also have a tendency to view relationships as transactional such that the relationship ends once the transaction ends.

For the Leo rising, they may view relationships as hard work. That they have to take their time with relationships and also, be very professional with relationships. Now, this particular placement has an aspect to their 1H. Remember when we mentioned the 10H? That part also applies here because Leo rules the heart and Saturn rules the 10H. Because Leo's have a hard time setting boundaries and seeing people for who they are in the beginning plus also pacing themselves in relationships, they punish themselves for failed relationships even if they were the victims in these relationships. Be it abusive caregivers, siblings, lovers, work places etc. When Leo risings pace themselves with all relationships, they get fulfilling relationships.

Now for the Pisces rising, Mercury is in the 10H. This means that for this Pisces, amidst all the trust issues and dog eat dog society they view all relationships as, they find it very hard to make and even maintain relationships. 9 times out of 10, they actually are the problem. Because they actually went out of their way to be horrible to genuine people since they never even sat down to know the person.

For the Leo rising, Saturn is in their 8H. This shows an individual who is ALWAYS in debt because of their relationships. It also indicates parasocial relationships. This particular person, never gets anything good out of relationships they have not taken their time in. Whether it's the workplace, family, school, and even with the local shopkeeper. In romance, these are the ones who allow others to misuse them sexually. Because they have very conditional love for themselves, they are actually a danger to themselves when a relationship of any type "screws them over". When they do pace themselves with relationships, then they do get rewards. A successful dominatrix could have this placement especially if they also had the moon in their 8H. This is also a great placement for someone who studies human behaviour and offers such services and makes money out of them.

Let me know if you have any questions. You can book an astrology reading with me here. Merry Christmas 2024 and a happy New Year 2025.

Part 1 of Nigerian tea, take with salt. Royally Sage @sage1411 on twitter/X posted on May 22nd: "More Sussex squad texts have gotten to HGTudor. He says that the texts shows that the Nigerian defense department were paying for some of the harkle PR. They also laughed about signing an NDA that was not likely going to be enforced in Nigeria." FYI, the Nigerian defense minister did invite the Sussexes to Nigeria, though.

Part 2 of Nigerian tea, take with salt. Royally Sage @sage1411 on twitter/X second post on May 22nd: "The sugars also say that Scobie and bouzy are getting paid more than they are and Scobie would be doing better if he pushed out more harkle articles like he is paid to do." Not surprised if Scobie and Bouzy are getting paid more by the Sussexes than the Sussex Squad members.

*

Hi Nonny,

Thank you for sending these two asks in. I think I have screenshots of the texts, or a link to them in the last set of asks. I didn't know HG Tudor was involved - is this from his videos or from his X account?

If the Nigerian Defence Minister invited Harry and Meghan to visit Nigeria then it makes sense that the department paid for some of the costs of the visit, although I am surprised that it included PR costs (I would expect the department to cover eg security and accommodation costs).

IMO, those texts show how very clearly how the Sussex Squad thinks and works. It doesn't surprise me that Meghan pays for them. One member has already admitted it on social media (they had to post as they has a car payment to make). The rates of pay are no surprise either, as you said.

I can't link to the X account as posts no longer appear in chronological order so I can't find anything on X anymore.

This is a message to my black brothers and sisters

Black history goes beyond slavery

You need to learn our cultures and traditions

Two major types of marriage exist in Nigeria: monogamy, a marriage of one man to one woman, and polygyny, a marriage of one man to two or more wives. In most cultural groups in Nigeria, traditional marriage is usually an arrangement between two families as opposed to an arrangement between two individuals. Accordingly, there is pressure on the bride and bridegroom to make the marriage work as any problem will usually affect both families and strain the otherwise cordial relationship between them. In most Nigerian cultures, the man usually pays the dowry or bride-price and is thus considered the head of the family. Adultery is acceptable for men, but forbidden for women. Marriage ceremonies vary among Nigerian cultures.

1 the ekpeye marriage

Bride price is paid in cash on every girl child before marriage is assumed to have taken place. This money is paid in stages and cannot be paid at once in one visit for several reasons. The first stage begins with the man and woman who after getting the approval of both parents, meet at the man’s best friend’s house for an initial introduction, which is called “Back Drink”. The bride will thereafter take the drink to her parents as a formal announcement of marriage.

The second stage is the “Front Drink” which is a bigger ceremony. In the past, this ceremony takes a whole day, but now modified to accommodate other issues in the marriage process. These issues include “Front Drink, Lineage Drink, Extended family Drink, Parents Bride Price, First Son’s bride price and the family bride price. These payments are done in segments. Although today, the issues listed are gradually being considered. There are other issues on the marriage such as cleaning of table, late coming, fixing of marriage date, service charge, etc. Some other amounts of money are paid in bits and segments, including drinks, snuffs, cigarette, etc before the final payment of “Head Money”, Ejie (2012). The head money is the most recognized and can be refunded in the case of divorce.

BRIDE EXCURSION

Payment of bride price ends with the family bride price. The groom’s wish determines the next line of action. If he wants a fanfare excursion, then another process begins. If he does not want any fanfare excursion, the bride is then allowed to formally depart and live with the husband.

Bride excursion is usually avoided in Ekpeye because of its high cost. The groom at this stage is required to settle for many other things for his wife to be escorted with gift items. However, there are compulsory gift items and non- compulsory items.

At the groom’s family house, a big ceremony is organized for the reception of the new bride and her entourage. These include young adult women, spinsters, and boys. After a day of this visit, they will all return back home, while at least seven spinsters will stay with the bride for another one week, helping her in customary domestic affairs.

. FAMILY INITIATION

This whole process of marriage makes you a man after initiation. Usually, you shall not be accepted for initiation if you have not paid the completed bride price.

Family initiation is a formal introduction of your wife to everybody in the lineage. Food and drinks are made available to groups in the lineage. These are men group, women group, youth group, boys, and girls and the children. Until every group has said they are satisfied, the ceremony cannot be over. A sign of acceptance is done by singing made in groups, especially the children group who shall raise a praise song in your name, Edema (2013).

When also these have been said and done, the couple shall be seated before the most elderly man and woman shall be seated for marriage blessings. This marriage blessing can be done traditionally or by prayers. Shortly after this special blessing, young men shall lift the man, while the woman shall be carried by women to their room. Both of them shall be locked-up in their bedroom where they shall remain until day-break. Their special assistants shall see to the end of the programme

2 Idoma marriage. The Idoma people live in central Nigeria, in the Benue State. The myth of their origin states that they are descended from the Zulu tribe of South Africa. They are mainly warriors. Some of their subgroups are the Adors, Otupas, Ogbanibos, Apas, Ofokanus and Owukpas. Marriage in Idoma land is considered a lifelong state, although divorce is possible on the grounds of A Nigerian bride and groom at their wedding ceremony.In most cultural groups in Nigeria, traditional marriage is an arrangement between two families rather than an arrangement between two individuals. KERSTIN GEIER/CORBIS adultery or other concrete reasons. When an Idoma man is at least twenty-five years old and has the financial and physical capacity to maintain a wife and children, he searches for and finds a woman of his choice, who is at least eighteen years old. He reports his findings to his family, which then chooses a go-between, a person who is familiar with the girl's family. The go-between investigates the family of the prospective bride to ascertain that the family has no history of mental disease, epilepsy, or similar problems. If the result of this investigation is positive, the prospective groom's family visits the woman's family with gifts of kola nut and hot drinks. After the first visit, another visit is scheduled for the woman to meet her future husband, after which a final visit is scheduled for the future groom and his family to pay the bride-price and offer other gifts. If the woman refuses to marry the man after these gifts have been provided, the groom's family keeps them

On the wedding day, in addition to the bride-price, the groom must pay a dowry first to the bride's mother and then another dowry to the father; this involves a significant amount of bargaining. Also every member of the bride's mother's family must be given money, with the groom's family determining the amount. The bride's age group and her more distant relatives also are given money, with the amount varying with level of the bride's education and productivity. Then the groom's family gives the bride a rooster and some money. If she accepts these gifts and gives them to her mother, she indicates her acceptance of the groom, but if she refuses, she signifies her refusal. If she accepts him, she is showered with gifts and money, and the two families eat and drink together. Before the bride is finally handed over to her husband, however, her age group will pose as a mock barrier to those who want to take her and extort money from the anxious groom's family. The bride's mother buys her cooking utensils and food because she is not expected to go to the market for the first five market days after her marriage. At the end of the eating and drinking, the wife is finally handed over to her husband's family.

Ideally the bride should be a virgin at marriage, which brings pride and joy to her family. If she is found not to be a virgin, she is taken to the husband's family' ancestral shrine for cleansing. After this the Ije is put on her to invoke fertility on her. This marks the beginning of married life among the Idoma tribe.

3 Marriage in Okrika land. Okrika is located in the eastern part of the Niger Delta of Nigeria, in the Rivers State. The Okrika clan is made up of nine major towns and more than fifteen villages.The fifteen villages are known as Iwoama (new towns). Okrika is the largest town with the largest population and is the administrative and traditional headquarters of the clan. In the Wakirike area, there are two main types of marriages—the Ya or Iyaye and the Igwa.

The Ya marriage ceremony involves certain customary functions that precede the consummation of the marriage. Here the bride and groom must come from the same tribe. When the husband is ready, members of the family assemble for the essential marriage rites, including the tying of the knot. The man is required to produce three to five pieces of kano cloth or Ikpo, one piece of real India cloth, or injiri, four yards of raffia palm cloth sewn together (okuru), and another separate yard of the same material. If the husband is wealthy, he adds additional kinds of cloth. He also provides three or four large pots of palm wine and twenty-two or twenty-four manila. These offerings are placed in the shrine of the family ancestors, and an elderly person in the family takes up the single yard of raffia cloth and ties the knot. The husband and wife stand before the shrine, side by side. The elder then ties the raffia cloth round the waist of the wife seven times, each time uttering some words that invoke blessings on the couple. Palm wine is poured into a drinking cup, and the bride and groom drink from it simultaneously. The knot has thus been tied, and divorce becomes virtually impossible. The single yard of raffia cloth is the essential thing to make the marriage binding. In case of unavoidable divorce as aresult of adultery on the woman's part, the parents of the wife are bound to return double the cumulative expenses of the husband.

The second system, Igwa, means mixed; the woman and the man may marry even though they are from different families. A woman married under the Ya system can be married under Igwa if the Ya husband is not living with her as husband and wife under the same roof. All offspring of this second marriage belong not to the biological father but to the Ya husband, who by custom is regarded as their legal father. If the woman has not been previously married to any man under the Ya system, children from the Igwa marriage belong either to the lawful husband of the wife's mother or to her brothers. However, the once unchangeable custom of the possession of children born under the Igwa system of marriage is relaxing under the pressure of modern times. Many adult men and young people engage in Igwa marriage if their previous marriage produced no children

4 Marriage among the Ibos. The Ibos are a very class-conscious group. They have a caste system and encourage endogamy. In the Ibo society, the castes include the Nwadiani, who are the upper caste of freeborn and land owners, and the Osu, who are the lower caste and descendants of former slaves. In the past, the Osu were used in human sacrifices. (Though the Osus are no longer slaves, yet they are still discriminated against by the free-born, who will usually oppose any of their children marrying an Osu.)

Within the Nwadiani are three groups:

The freeborn, who are able to trace their lineage to the founder of a segment of the community.

The Omoru, whose ancestors came from elsewhere to settle and become attached to the founder of the community. Their descendants are accepted as full members of the village or town because of their freeborn status in their place of origin.

The descendants of the autonomous groups who lived in the area before the founders of the state arrived and incorporated them into the structure of the community, which they established.

Intermarriage among Nwadiani has united these three categories in a closely knit kinship system. All the lineages in the village were believed to have descended from one ancestor or the other. Kinship links were sometimes invoked to create special relationships with neighboring village groups or village. Owing to their close kinship ties, men had to find their wives outside the village. One kind of link is between villages and village groups. Villages in a group, as well as neighboring villages, were linked by bonds forged by marriage alliances.

Endogamous marriage seemed to have served to perpetuate the Osu status, which is inferior. At Oguta, Osomari, Onitsha, and Abo, Osu could only marry an Osu because of their outcast status. They are thus despised by the freeborn. This discrimination was carried further at Osamari where the Osu class had their exclusive residential quarters (ebo) in each division. This also gave the servile quarters a sense of corporate solidarity in opposition to the "Freeborn" quarters. Through the intermarriage between members of different Ogbe, Ebo and the Osu of a community they have developed a web of kinship similar to that, which characterizes the Nwadiani. However, permitted intermarriage between Osu and Nwadianins and children born of such mixed marriages are allowed to have the status of Nwadiani. (Note that though this caste system is historical, the descendants of these castes have inherited their ancestors' classes and are therefore stratified along that line even today.)

Marriage ceremonies in traditional Ibo society are elaborate affairs celebrated with much fanfare and merriment. The couple must have had some period of courtship during which the prospective groom informs his parents of his intention to take a woman of a certain village as wife. The parent of his intended wife must be known to his parents, and the courtship requires the prospective bride to pay at least one courtesy call on her potential inlaws to enable them to get to know her. After getting acquainted with the woman, the parents of the bridegroom will give their approval if they are satisfied that their prospective daughter-in-law has an unblemished reputation. Such courtships usually become public knowledge. The day of the marriage must be mutually agreed upon by both families (Omokhodion 1998).

[inoriemiko]

Funny how by up to 10 minutes past 5pm, I was tweaking down a depressive episode, even wrote a suicide note half way. I had texted my fp an hour earlier so him not responding or even reading my texts made me spiral even further. I had browsed painless ways to die and wept and was just spiraling, fast. I had no one to talk to, no reason to even be alive, the guy I'm talking to doesn't seem to want to put in the effort I'm pouring in, I don't know how I feel about my one friend in my course and I couldn't disturb my flatmates with my problems.

I prayed and cried(tearless) and was just generally tweaking so bad I couldn't even escape into sleep. I'm not sure if I even slept for more than 30 minutes without waking up from anxiety.

The trigger was that my uni emailed me saying that they could pull me out and revoke my visa because my fees haven't been paid yet(they have been paid actually,idk what the uni is on) and I'll be deported and UK shii. I'm in my last year, and I've barely passed my other 2 years with 3rd classes and have been working really hard to pass this year. I try to read every night, I put in 3 times more effort into my studies than I ever have (Given my social and mental situation rn). I'm set on passing no matter what it costs me(without cheating or selling y soul or some other extremes), if it makes my parents proud and shows that my dad isn't working like a dog back at home(in Nigeria) to just pay for my fees(I have 2 other siblings in uni who he also pays fees for, I can't even imagine how many loans he has to take and how much of his savings he has dug into.)

[Quick note, I'm the only one schooling in the UK. As of today 1 Pound is 2,119 Naira (currency in Nigeria). My fees are about 23,500 Pounds, and, I'll spare you the maths, in Naira, my dad has to pay up to 50,000,000 Naira. I wish I was joking but that's only my school fees, excluding my spending fees, traveling fees, accommodation fees, and not to talk of my other siblings fees as well. We are middle class Nigerians btw so it's only by God's grace we have made it this far]

It triggered me even more because I knew I've sent an email to the school a few weeks back telling them that my fees have been paid but I got no response now they are threatening me??!? And yes, I also blame myself because after that email I sent all those weeks ago, I completely forgot to follow up with them, again given my emotional circumstances. I'm so scared, I barely managed to make it to third year without getting my visa revoked the first time due to me being in an integrated masters course not not making it into the masters course third year so I had to be dropped to a bachelor's third year(UKIV sucks frr) and now this?!??

Anyways, the depressive episode lasted for hours till around 8-9pm. I'm not sure if I was even asleep or dissociated but I feel okay. Feels like I woke up honestly but I can't remember that period of time, it's fuzzy. Anyways, I'm okay now(my socially acceptable way of saying I feel numb and empty inside) and I am no more suicidal, yayyy.

But my fp left me on read so there's still that, and I'm not sure what tomorrow holds regarding my entire school fees issue so there is still the anxiety looking overhead about that. I just pray my fees have actually reached the school and the school was just not thorough enough 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Also, about to continue my chronic overspending spree on this Bath and body works Japanese cherry blossom perfume. Omg, it smells sooooooo good🤧

Impact of JAMB Cut Off Marks on Admission Fraud

In recent years, the role of JAMB (Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board) cut-off marks in the Nigerian education system has come under increased scrutiny. These cut-off marks serve as a critical factor in determining a student's eligibility for admission into tertiary institutions. However, the system has not been without its flaws. One of the more troubling concerns is how the manipulation of JAMB cut-off marks has contributed to admission fraud. Understanding this connection is crucial for you as a stakeholder in Nigeria’s educational system.

What Are JAMB Cut Off Marks?

JAMB cut-off marks are the minimum scores required for candidates to gain admission into universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education in Nigeria. These scores vary depending on the institution and course of study. Generally, universities set higher marks than polytechnics or colleges. JAMB, which oversees entrance into these institutions, annually reviews and adjusts the cut-off mark.

JAMB, as an examining body, sets a national cut-off point, but schools have the liberty to adjust these marks upward depending on their admission policies. For instance, a candidate who scores just below the cut-off may still be considered if the institution decides to lower its requirements.

The Link Between JAMB Cut Off Marks and Admission Fraud

Admission fraud in Nigeria often stems from the discrepancy between a candidate's performance and the JAMB cut-off mark. Many students who fail to meet the required score resort to illegal means, such as bribery, manipulation of results, or backdoor admissions, to gain entry into their preferred institutions. This creates a systemic problem that affects the integrity of the admission process.

Manipulation of Results

In some instances, candidates engage in result falsification or pay intermediaries to help boost their scores above the required JAMB cut-off mark. Fraudsters take advantage of the desperation among students, exploiting their desire to pursue higher education at all costs. Such acts undermine the purpose of the cut-off mark, which is intended to be a benchmark for academic merit.

Bribery and Corruption

You may also be aware of cases where candidates bribe admission officers or other gatekeepers to secure admission. This often happens when a student is just a few points shy of the required cut-off. Unfortunately, this not only perpetuates fraud but also compromises the educational standards, as less qualified candidates displace those who rightfully deserve admission based on their scores.

Special Consideration Admissions

Some institutions have been accused of bending the rules by offering "special consideration" to candidates with connections or financial means. While this is not new, the existence of JAMB cut-off marks has made the practice more opaque. Schools might officially adhere to the JAMB criteria, but in practice, they allow unqualified students to bypass these requirements through unofficial channels.

How Lowering JAMB Cut Off Marks Encourages Fraud

Lowering the JAMB cut-off mark is often seen as a way to accommodate more students, particularly in underserved regions or among disadvantaged groups. However, this practice can inadvertently encourage more admission fraud. When the cut-off is too low, the competition shifts from academic merit to who can game the system.

Here’s how that happens:

Increased desperation: As cut-off marks become less stringent, students who barely miss the mark might feel emboldened to engage in fraudulent activities, believing that they were "almost there" and deserve a spot.

Institutional loopholes: Universities and other institutions might exploit the flexibility in cut-off marks by creating additional quotas or unofficial channels for admission, which can be monetized or reserved for those with connections.

The Consequences of Admission Fraud

Admission fraud has far-reaching consequences for the educational sector. It compromises the quality of education, as students who do not meet the academic requirements are admitted at the expense of more qualified candidates. Additionally, it creates a system where meritocracy is replaced by favoritism, eroding trust in institutions.

For you as a potential candidate or concerned parent, this undermines your confidence in the fairness of the system. It also means that graduates entering the workforce might not have the skills or qualifications they should have, which affects the country’s broader economic and social development.

Steps Toward Reform

To combat the issue of admission fraud, there is a need for stricter enforcement of JAMB regulations and higher transparency in the admission process. Universities should also be held accountable for following JAMB's set guidelines and avoiding unnecessary manipulations of the system. As a candidate, you should stay informed about the official JAMB requirements and be wary of offers that seem too good to be true.

In addition, technology can play a vital role in monitoring and verifying results to ensure that they cannot be altered after the fact. Better coordination between JAMB and educational institutions will also help close the gaps that fraudsters exploit.

Conclusion

The impact of JAMB cut-off marks on admission fraud is a reflection of broader systemic issues in Nigeria’s education sector. While JAMB’s role in setting standardized cut-off marks is meant to ensure fairness, loopholes have allowed fraud to thrive. The key to combating this issue lies in a combination of regulatory reform, institutional accountability, and increased awareness among students like you. Staying vigilant and advocating for a more transparent system can help ensure that merit, not manipulation, determines admission outcomes.

‘How Lekki Free Zone Is Boosting Industrialisation, Tackling Unemployment In Nigeria’

The country head, Nigeria, Alaro City, Yomi Ademola has said that the Lekki Free Zone (LFZ) has become a ray of hope for local and foreign direct investments (FDIs) and a way to address the problem of unemployment in a significant development for Nigeria’s economic landscape.

Disclosing this at a media parley in Lagos, Ademola stated that the presence of industrial plots in the LFZ, along with simplified regulations and investment incentives, is attracting foreign investments and domestic capital, resulting in the development of a thriving industrial ecosystem.

He said, “Every business wants to reduce their costs and increase their profitability. At the end of the day, that is what capitalism is about. We’re a free market economy. We want people to bring those jobs and invest here. Most multinational companies who have left Nigeria, have significant relationship with the ports. Nine out of 10, if not 10 out of 10 would prefer to have their companies situated close to the port.

The Lekki Deep Sea Port is already generating more revenue for the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) than Apapa. Meanwhile, the largest ship coming into Apapa is roughly 4,000 Twenty-foot Equivalent Units (TEUs) capacity. On the other hand, the ships coming into Lekki Deep Sea Port are 16 to 18,000 TEUs – three and a half to four times more.”

Speaking on the Alaro City project, Ademola said the city will help to bridge the housing deficit that is linked to the industrializtion drive in the free zone.

He said, “Alaro City is designed to accommodate everybody. We have residential homes and the other size of the city is for industrialization. We have completed about 200 units, out of the 576 units of apartment. We want more SMEs in Nigeria and foreign investors to take advantage of these unique opportunities.

“For instance, Aerial Foods, which produces ready-to-use therapeutic food, is situated at Alaro City. The company not only produces for Nigerians, but is currently exporting to other countries. For a company that needs to be efficient, looking to reduce costs, without compromising jobs or value proposition to their customers, then LFZ is the place for you.

“If you can bring down the amount of money you need to borrow from banks at high interest rate to pay for your working capital, including significant duty bill by locating in a free zone, that transforms the prospects of your company’s outlook, because you are saving millions of naira, that you would have spent on transportation, levies, duties, as companies situated in the LFZ are exempted from paying income tax, withholding tax on dividends, Value Added Tax and customs and excise duties, among others. Because of these benefits, we are attracting foreign investments, we are attracting new jobs and new opportunities.

Moreover, we can generate hard currencies by exporting to other countries. So, with the LFZ, we are bringing technologies, new jobs and attracting foreign investments into our country.”

Nigeria’s Role in Invictus Games

Time to review some facts as Harold & M book another private jet to another continent. Hopefully some publications will engage in some research on this.

So how many African nations have attended the Invictus Games (IGs) prior to 2023? ZERO.

In 2022 Meghan Markle unexpectedly announced to the world that she was 43% Nigerian. Ibble Dibble does an excellent job debunking this btw here https://youtube.com/watch?v=0CYNcie-PAs&si=AJ5IF8qLod4KGyda

Setting aside that Meghan’s claim was false, Meghan still announced this on her Archetype podcast episode on “Angry Black Women” featuring Ziwe Fumudoh who is the daughter of two Nigerian immigrants. The highly profane comedienne also attended Northwestern, although it’s unlikely she was in Meghan’s white sorority. Ziwe was, predictably giddy, and the two instantly bonded. Not sure where her jelly post is.

Nigeria “mysteriously” applied to join the Invictus Games also in 2022, but wasn’t eligible to participate until last year’s IGs in Dusseldorf. They brought ten participants. The question is, which is the chicken vs egg? Based on her family’s ancestry records we know she can’t be 43% Nigerian, so did Harry tell M about Nigeria wanting to join the IGs and M thought “great!” I can be Nigerian, realizing no other African countries participate? Or did M make up the Nigerian DNA story and Nigeria latched on to gain more legitimacy and access some stale royal stardust? Or are we supposed to believe her fake story about being Nigerian in 2022 was purely coincidental to Nigeria applying to the IGs in 2022, when zero other African countries have shown any interest?

In January 2024 Harry & Meghan flew to Whistler, BC to attend some IG ski vacation boondoggle that cost IG tens of thousands of dollars for just H&M’s private jets and very luxurious accommodations, to say nothing of the staggering funds spent on this mini vacation holiday for the entire IG staff, Archewell staff & a very small group of competitors, which included a high society dinner with Michael Bublé serenading a large banquet hall of VIPs, including the Nigerian Chief of Staff who invited H&M to swan about Nigeria. Apparently the vets weren’t invited to that dinner, but they enjoyed all the other perks. That Chief of Staff brought some Nigerian participants with him, none of whom seemingly had any experience competing in winter sports, so it seems shockingly wasteful to squander so much money for a “pre-IG trip just so the Chief of Staff can say he met Michael Bublé.

Harry describes this May 2024 Nigerian trip thusly:

”His visit to Nigeria will include cultural activities and will “consolidate Nigeria’s stronghold at the games and the possibility of hosting the event in later years,” Gusau said.

Nigeria has NO stronghold at the games. They only fielded ten participants and have only attended ONE IG. One. That is not a stronghold. So what is the real purpose of this trip? To bribe Harry for a future hosting gig for the IGs? Bribery involving government officials is the most common form of corruption in Nigeria, according to Nigeria. And we all know how big their scam and bots industry is. That means bribery, although technically illegal in Nigeria, is also very commonplace. Wasting money seems like no big deal for them either.

However, the thought of Nigeria hosting the IGs is laughable. Nigeria has travel warnings throughout Nigeria due to widespread terrorism, kidnappings, armed gangs and general crime. The participating countries are advising against travel to Nigeria https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories/nigeria-travel-advisory.html

Aside from putting other nations in extreme danger, it would cost Nigeria over $40M to host this week long party. Nigeria’s entire military budget of $3.1B is .003 of our (US’s) military budget. Basically a rounding error. Yet spending over $40M on a week long party for 500 vets from 22 non-US countries is still hefty enough that it merits a lot of lobbying here, since basic vet needs are not fully met. Yet Nigeria wants to cough this much money up so that 98% of the non-Nigerian prticipants can party in Nigeria? Why? Are all there other veteran needs being fully met? What else is in it for them? This can’t be what this trip is really all about

For Harry & Meghan this is all a win-win. They get to have another faux royal International trip where they cosplay still being royals with royal authority & privileges, which they no longer possess. They will be treated as VIPs, staying at the finest Nigerian hotels and riding in armed motorcades, which is apparently the thing Harry misses most about his former life as an actual senior royal. Meghan gets to rub more heavy bronzer on her race card while working to cement her presence as. co-host for all the future Invictus Games with Harry, who is only a patron, btw, and has zero official corporate authority for the IGs. She will be their Lolo waving her Nigerian flag. Harry seeks to throw his weight around proving that he can bring in nations that will pony up the giant hosting fees

There are rumors that the IG Foundation is considering replacing Harry as their patron. Harry believed his big Netflix Heart of Invictus series would stave that off, but that series didn‘t do that well. Perhaps he believes he can bring in all of Africa. I doubt that will work out well. I think this stunt smells like overwhelming desperation.

The Invictus Games Foundation needs to stop this out of control train wreck. Harry & Meghan going rogue on these projects only brings on more intense scrutiny. Will this charity survive if the amount of money spent on H&M is ever made public? If the US hosts the 2026 IGs I can assure you FOIAs will go out to the DOD. If Birmingham gets it I assume the UK will also FOIA the snot out of the records. The truly big waste isn’t in the IGF’s paltry budget it’s in the $30M to $40M plus sponsorships that goes completely unreported on. MSM, please do your duty!

Olaudah Equiano (c. 1745 – March 31, 1797) whose father was an Ibo chief, was born in Southern Nigeria. At the age of 11 years, he was captured by African slave traders and sold into bondage in the New World. He was given the name Gustavus Vassa and was forced to serve several masters. While a slave, he traveled between four continents.

He mastered reading, writing, and arithmetic, and purchased his freedom. He presented one of the first petitions to the British Parliament calling for the abolition of slavery.

He became the first person of African ancestry to hold a post in the British Government when he was appointed to the post of Commissary for Stores to the Expedition for Freed Slaves. This abolitionist-supported venture would create the West African nation of Sierra Leone. He soon began to witness fraud and corruption among those responsible for providing supplies for the expedition. His unwillingness to accommodate this malfeasance led to his dismissal.

He continued to work with leading British abolitionists including William Wilberforce and Thomas Clarkson who urged Parliament to abolish the Slave Trade. He interjected his history into the struggle when in 1789 he wrote and published his autobiography titled The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano or Gustavus Vassa the African, Written by Himself. His narrative soon became the first “best seller” written by a Black Briton. He embarked on a lecture tour of England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland to promote his book. He advanced several religious and economic arguments for the abolition of slavery.

He married an Englishwoman, Susanna Cullen (1792) and the couple had two daughters. He died ten years before the slave trade was abolished and 36 years before Parliament outlawed slavery throughout the British Empire. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence
