Our dear "ATM" when will you be useful to us!... - A tale!

Tale of our dear ATM:  Our dear popular ATM (Auto-Teller-Machine). For those who know this popular ATM within the campus, no much talk and for those who don't, let's gist you a bit. This ATM  is located in University of Ibadan, opposite the Senate Chambers, opposite Admin building, Kuti Road. This ATM used to be a single machine, it was very frustrating to use, if you try withdrawing 25 times if you are lucky you will be able to withdraw successfully twice. Sometimes it swallows your ATM card, or it freezes for minutes before it eventually vomits your ATM card with your heart beat increasing while awaiting. 80-90% of the time you try using it, its either its  out of serve or service temporarily unavailable of course you know how annoying that is lol ðŸ˜€ðŸ˜€ another frustrating thing is that sometimes your money is deducted from your account without dispensing, and if not reverted you will have to wait patiently on your bank to rectify it.... So "frustratingly frustrating

Download Real University of Ibadan Post UTME Practice questions and things you need to know

First of all, we will like to clear the air about the University of Ibadan Post UTME past questions.  U.I does not release its post UTME questions to students after the exam and hence it doesn't have any real/official Post-UTME past questions . Our Research has shown that some persons/platforms post things like "University of Ibadan Post UTME past questions since 2010, some since 2008 etc, while some even sell it for fee around #1000. We advise all U.I aspirants to desist from all of that as it is just a mere business tactics. We are not saying they are not past questions, but they are not University of Ibadan Past questions, which may be dangerous for your preparation. The only thing University of Ibadan has is the officially released Post UTME   Practice questions , which was released for 2015/2016 Jambites on the official school website as at that year. We have helped you retrieve some of them, which can be downloaded below. As we all know there was no Post UTME last year

Latest UI 2017/2018 Admissons- University of Ibadan takes its stand on announced Jamb Cut off mark

On the Recently Announced cut off Marks of 120 for University Admission: our position in UI: By Sunday Saanu - Media Assistant to the Vice-Chancellor, University of Ibadan      The Management of the University of Ibadan wishes to inform the public about the recently announced cut off marks of 120 for University Admission that UI will not lower her standards.      A statement from the Vice Chancellor's office indicates that the Nigeria's premier university still maintains her position  in academic excellence and standards in order to continue to aspire towards becoming a world-class university.      It should worry us as patriots that candidates who scored just 30% in UTME can be admitted into some of our universities. Yet, we complain of poor quality of our graduates. You can hardly build something on nothing. The consolation here is that since JAMB started conducting this qualifying exam in 1978, UI has never admitted any candidate who scored less than 200 marks out of

RIDES: Top 8 Rides with Mad Ass Dashboards

1. This is the dash of a 1972 Maserati Boomerang concept.Just looking at this image alone makes me weak. 2. The designer of this game console(sorry-dashboard), would make an innocent human being read 1000 page manual just to understand this one.Wetin Happen ! By the way, this is a 1982 Lancia Orca 3.You are looking at the dash of a Citroen Xenia Concept (1981).I am really confused ,I don’t know what to say about this one. 4. When the owner of the company says “Design something that is spacious and user friendly” and the designer tried too hard to impress his oga. And its quite disappointing that this is an Aston Martin Lagonda 1984. 5. Whoever drives this Fiat Multipla 2002 would properly develop neck pain from turning his head too often 6. What is wrong with Citroen na ,what is this one again !- 1983 Citroen GSA Pallas See the name sef ,its similar to Kpalasa 7. As beautiful as the exterior of the 2012 Pagani Huayra is, this is the kind

ASUU cautions Minister of Labour- Chris Ngige on Strike Blackmail

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has warned the Minister for Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, not to embark on cheap blackmail over the ongoing strike embarked upon by the union. The University of Ibadan (UI) ASUU Chapter Chairman, Dr. Deji Omole, who condemned the tactic employed by the Federal Government over the demands of the union, said it was deceitful for the minister to insinuate that the N23 billion earned allowances, which the Federal Government promised to pay soon, were only for lecturers. He stated that the said earned allowances were for both deserving academic and non-academic members of staff, stressing that it was too early for Ngige to embark on cheap blackmail. Omole said that the union was more interested in enduring legacies, which would reposition public education in the country through adequate funding of public education, which the present government had been silent about. Also, President of the union, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, has asked hi
