JAMB Is Not legally Binded By Senate Resolutions - Legal Practioners

Some Legal practitioners in the country have aired their views over the resolutions taken by the Senate recently which stated that the UTME form be sold at N2,500 by JAMB and the UTME Result validity extended to 3 years.

According to them, the resolutions by the senate are not binding on JAMB.

Professor Itse Sagay while speaking on this said that the senate cannot pass such resolutions on an executive body like JAMB; stating that it is only the Minister of Education, or the Council governing JAMB can take such decisions. Hence, the resolution by the senate can be deemed a mere request or advice.

Also, Mrs. Funke Adekoya (SAN) said that the resolutions are not binding on JAMB as the House of Representative is yet to make a law to that effect. Hence, if JAMB does not obey, no law can be said to have been broken or breached. This simply implies that the resolutions are only requests by the senate.

JAMB Score CANNOT be Upgraded, Beware of Fraudsters

As many candidates continue to show displeasure over their poor UTME results, some fraudsters have taken advantage of this to defraud the gullible ones in the name of “JAMB Result Upgrading.”

We want to state emphatically here that there is nothing like result upgrading as far as we know.

Anyone parading as a JAMB official or whoever asking you to contact him/her for “JAMB Result Upgrading" or any assistance as regards your UTME Result is nothing but a fraudster.

We wish to advise candidates to beware of such people as you will have yourself to blame at the end of it all. They are all over the internet and bear ridiculous names to grab the attention of undiscerning minds.

Do not fall victim to their scam. You will only end up loosing both ways.

If you feel your JAMB score may not get you admission into your school of choice, you can go for JAMB Change of Course and Institution which will be available soon or better still consider other favorable options which we will unveil in due course.

Please note that you can start printing your Original JAMB Result Slip to get your final UTME official score.

Wash Your Face With Coconut Oil Every Day and Watch What Happens To Blemishes And Wrinkles

Although the most of you use coconut oil as a healthy kitchen stale, you need to know that it can also be extremely useful as a skincare product.
This superior beauty product can promote the health of your skin and can be used as a substitute for all those expensive products you buy and are rich in chemicals and toxic compounds.

The coconut’s scientific name is Cocos nucifera. Numerous traditional cultures appreciate the coconut palm, as it is a source of food, as well as medicine.
Namely, it is also known as “The Tree of Life.”Its oil is a refined product, extracted from the meat or kernel of mature coconuts. The only real “unrefined” coconut oil is the one included in a fresh coconut’s meat, just picked off the coconut palm. The ‘’extra virgin oil’’ is, in fact, the least refined type of coconut oil.
This oil mainly includes saturated fats with large quantities of medium chain fatty acids, and a good percentage of the fatty acid is, in fact, lauric acid. Furthermore, it also includes vitamin E, which prevents damage to the skin due to free radicals.
The difference between coconut oil and mineral oil
You need to be aware of the fact that coconut oil and mineral oil are not the same. Coconut oil is from the coconut fruit, as we previously mentioned.
On the other hand, mineral oil is a substance with no odor or color, produced from a mineral, non-vegetable source, in most cases, from petroleum.
This oil is included in various products like ointments, baby lotions, pesticides, cosmetics, facial creams, electrical components, wood preservatives and hydraulic fluid. It has been primarily utilized as a mechanical lubricant before the invention of synthetic oils.
The biggest organ in the human body is our skin, and it eliminates toxins, together with the kidneys. Therefore, if the skin is not able to breathe, it won’t be able to perform its function, and this will have a result in the health.
Therefore, the use of mineral oil on the body may have adverse effects, since it will attract the moisture from the cells located deep in the skin, and will thus lead to damage of the connective tissue, deceleration of the cell renewal and a breakdown of collagen. In this way, the skin will prematurely age.
On the other hand, coconut oil nourishes and moisturizes the skin. Because it is rich in fats, it will help in the case of some skin issues, and it will prevent acne, reduce rashes and quickly heal wounds.
Due to its high anti-inflammatory properties, it will effectively soothe numerous types of skin ailments. You may think that the application of oils on the skin will lead to clogged pores and cause acne and an oily complexion.
Yet, coconut oil is a miraculous oil that does not contain water or petroleum by-products which will clog the pores.
Actually, it will soften and hydrate the skin since it penetrates deeply into the skin. Therefore, it will eliminate dirt and dead skin cells and will promote a healthy complexion.
Note that depending on your lifestyle, beauty habits and diet, at the beginning of its use, it may increase acne as it eliminates the impurities from the skin. Yet, if you continue using it regularly, it will gradually reduce acne and will eventually eliminate them.
These are the benefits of coconut oil for your skin:
Reduces Acne
Coconut oil contains fatty acids that contribute to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. In this way, this miraculous oil will preserve your pores free of dirt and will reduce acne.
Moreover, it will also relieve inflammation that commonly accompanies severe acne, and will soothe the dry red skin caused by acne. It also contains vitamin E, which will prevent skin damage, due to its strong antioxidant capacity.
Note that you must combine the coconut oil treatment with proper nutrition as a method to reduce acne both, from the inside and outside of your body. In this way, you will make your skin healthy, strong and radiant.
Cleanses and Tones Skin
This amazing oil will effectively moisturize and cleanse your skin. You can also use it as a makeup remover. You need to put a bit of coconut oil on a cotton ball and gently wipe the areas to remove makeup. Afterwards, you skin will be soft and hydrated.
Soothes and Conditions Skin
It leaves the skin smooth and soft, as it is absorbed quickly. Hence, after washing your face in the morning and the evening, apply some coconut oil.  Moreover, it also has a fantastic effect on your hands and feet, and it is excellent while doing a massage.
To feel all the skin benefits of coconut oil for your face here is how to use it: You need to use a high-quality cold-pressed virgin coconut oil with a pleasant coconut smell.
How to use:
You need to wash your wash with water twice a day, in the morning and the evening, and then gently dab dry, but do not rub. Afterwards, you can apply some rosehip seed oil, but it is not necessary.
Next, lightly rub coconut oil over the face suing your fingertips. This treatment will significantly enhance the quality of your skin, leaving it smooth, radiant and hydrated.

Utilising Your Idle Time Productively

One thing I have come to notice about life is that everything you need to make it successful is right before you. All that is required of you is to tap into it. Every single second of your life counts and that is why you can't afford to spend it doing things that are not fruitful.
Getting engaged in something productive at every point in time gives better hope and draws you nearer to you aims and objectives.

The different between a rich man and a poor man is not the lack of opportunity but the in ability to utilize the opportunity thereby preferring to sit down idle.

It is my heart desire to disclose some vital things you can do when you have nothing to do. To be frank and sincere with one another, times that you will be idle cannot be out ruled but there are some productive things you can do with it.
Most people prefer to while away their time in enjoyment and all stuffs because they depend on others, but I will tell you that nothing can be as good as being independent. You don't have to sit somewhere and look up to people for everything, be your own boss.

I term idleness as not having something productive to do. One might be busy doing something but when I see it is not going to yield any good result at the end, it is as good as being idle.

Anytime you find yourself not doing anything, either
• You are free at work
• Free in school or
• You naturally don't have what you do before

1. Seat Back And Assess Yourself :-
May I put it to you that this is the best time to assess yourself. When a man fails to assess himself, he cannot go far, why ?
» You need to seat to know where you are coming from,
» Where you are
» Where you are going
» How close or far you are to you pursuit.

Definitely at this point lot of solution will be deduced and you will know you progressive and productive rate. This is one thing you can do that will make your idle period a productive one.

2. What Do You Need To Keep On Keeping On ? :-
After the first stage comes this. You need to look at how you can improve yourself. This is the best time to detect what you need to get even better. You know what you are lacking; you also get to map out how you will get yourself engaged so has to create for yourself a better living.

3. Unleash Various Ideas :-
This is the best time to start pouring on your table different ideas. You need to begin to reason both far and wide. Start seeing yourself getting greater and in the process try thinking of more investment you can venture into even while doing your normal job. You don't have to be everywhere at a particular time, you can delegate people and just get feed backs.

4. Make The Move :-
Do more than think; Effect it
Do more than plan; Act
Do more than reason; Practicalise

After taking all the previous steps I mentioned, you need to act because a plan without an action is as good as nothing. Creating wealth start from somewhere which is the ideas concealed in your heart.
What time do you have to unleash these ideas? It is now that you have nothing doing, get a pen and a book and strategise. Time they say waits for no man and a time wasted can never be regained.
