A.JAMB 2014/2015 REGISTRATION/EXAM DATE


  The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB)  began the sale of application forms into the nation’s tertiary Institutions a while ago. The early sale of the application forms is to enable Nigerians desirous of tertiary education have access to the forms so that they could prepare ahead for the examination slated for April, 2014.

According to a statement issued in Abuja by JAMB’s spokesman, Fabian Benjamin, the two modes of tests hitherto conducted by JAMB- the Paper and Pencil Test (PPT) and Computer Based Test (CBT) – are still opened to prospective candidates for the 2014 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

Candidates across the globe who have successfully completed their secondary school education with a minimum of six (6) credits, including the English Language and Mathematics, are expected to obtain the forms at the designated banks and register with the approved cyber cafés across Nigeria and at the Nigeria High Commission Offices in Ghana, United Kingdom (UK), South Africa (SA), Cameroon, Jeddah and Biu.

Candidates are urged to ensure that their data are well captured at the cyber cafés and their subject choices are accurately entered. The JAMB Registrar, Prof. ‘Dibu Ojerinde, urged parents, guardians and café operators to ensure that candidates are well guided in the filling of the forms to avoid wrong filling and unwholesome practices that may affect their choices.

WHY SHOULD A DRAMA TEACHER INTRODUCE HIS STUDENTS TO GENITAL PIERCING?...DID THAT COME FROM SHAKESPEARE?

Drama teacher is fired for taking three pupils to get their penises pierced after they saw HIS piercing while he showered



  • Pieter Oberholzer, who taught at a Pretoria school, said he was 'naive'

  • Two of the pupils were over 18 and one was almost 16

  • He was also found to have given boys penis-shaped pasta


A South African teacher fired after taking three pupils to get penis piercings has apologised, saying that he was 'stupid and naive'.

Pieter Oberholzer, 57, the former head of drama at Willowridge High School in Pretoria, was dismissed after taking three pupils - two of whom were over 18 and one who was almost 16 - to get the intimate piercings.

He said there was nothing sexual about the incident, adding that the boys involved wanted one after they saw his own penis ring while he was in the shower after swimming practice.

He told South African paper The Star: 'We were preparing for Midmar (Mile swimming race) and I had a shoulder injury so I went to shower to warm up.

'Two of the boys wanted to check on me and walked in while I was drying my hair and I immediately covered up.'

He said the pupils 'hounded him' for months about helping them before he finally decided to help them find a reputable piercing studio.

He added: 'I agree 100 percent that I should not have got involved, I was trying to make sure they were safe. The guys threatened to pierce themselves. I’m also terribly sorry for the stress it has caused my family and friends.'

A few days after the piercings took place he realised his mistake and informed the headteacher and the boys' parents.

None of the parents pressed charges but the incident was reported to the local education board and Oberholzer was sacked after a disciplinary hearing.

He was also found to have given some of his students penis-shaped pasta and allowing them to bunk classes, according to The Star.
