WHAT YOU NEED TO NO ABOUT THE TWO NOVELS RECOMMENDED BY JAMB FOR 2017 JAMB EXAM

By

JAMB has recommended 2 Compulsory Novels that candidates are to read before their exams, starting 6th May, 2017.



 The 2 Novels are;
1. "In Dependence" by Sarah Ladipo Manyika for UTME Candidates
2. "The Last Days at Forcados High School" by A.H. Mohammed for Direct Entry Candidates


According to the instructions, candidates will be tested on these 2 novels in Use of English, which is compulsory for every candidate, regardless of the course you intend to study in school.
A lot more JAMBites are familiar with OPTION 2 above, being that it was the only Novel that was used in testing during the 2016 UTME.
OPTION 1 however, is a newly introduced Novel for 2017.
While a lot more students are only interested in buying registration forms, they neglect to look deep into other instructions, which may be critical to the success of their exams in May.
From the instructions released by JAMB, it is clear that "In Dependence" ought to be for UTME candidates alone, while "The Last Days at Forcados High School" will be used by Direct Entry Candidates.
If you go by the instruction stated above, this simply means that UTME candidates will get questions asked from the book "In Dependence", while Direct Entry will get questions from "The Last Days at Forcados High School".

In as much as, JAMB has clearly stated and differentiated between the 2 texts, THIS IS AN EXAMINATION and JAMB is free to test you from any source they deem fit.
Whether you are a UTME student or a Direct Entry Student, we, i will advise that you get yourself acquainted with both novels. There is no knowledge lost with doing so.
Please go out of your way to adequately prepare for this exam by Studying both novels and expecting questions from either of them, whether you are a UTME or Direct Entry Student.
The novels are not too voluminous and the stories are interesting for you to read within the next 2 months. You should be able to read and understand the entire story of both novels.

BANKS IN NIGERIA SAY THERE IS NO MONEY TO PAY CUSTOMERS

By
The British experiment called Nigeria has finally collapsed and there is no sign of it being redeemed. Can you imagine that during this Christmas season when Nigerians as well as BIAFRANS need their money deposited in Nigerian banks, Nigerian banks are now telling them that there is no money to give them. This cock and bull story of Nigeria banks not having money to pay, mostly took place in Igweocha Biafra Land now called Port Harcourt in River state. Starting from 18th of December, 2016, many people begin to troop into different banks in Igweocha to collect their money for Christmas celebration. Another notable challenge faced by customers is the long queues at the banks as these banks adopt measures aimed at frustrating customers. Most customers recount that “even though they came to the bank in the morning before they will be attended to, it will be later in the evening. At times, some will leave the bank annoyed without being able to collect their money”. Adding that to mak...
