UNIZIK Post-UTME 2015: What You Should Do To Excel

The much anticipated time is here talking about the UNIZIK Post-UTME. The tension is mounting greatly. Some are excited, anxious while some are scared and panicky. It's quite normal when events such like this that determines the next phase in ones pursuit in life approaches. To some of you, it might be your first time of witnessing such experience while some are regular customers but determined to make it this time. Either ways, it's a matter of choice. The way you make your bed, so shall you lay on it. You must have read and read and read and read... The time is ripe for you to defend that which you have prepared for a long time. As you wait for your examination from the 7th-10th, revise the Post UTME past questions from the beginning to the end if possible. The first step to achieving success in this exam is to ensure ALL the requirements for the exams are handy otherwise you might be disorganized by the time the fiery looking, heavily built men of the Anti-cult of the university bounce you at the gate. Second step is to ensure you pay CLOSE attention to EVERY minute instruction starting from the entrance to the point you are asked to START. Thirdly, do NOT be hasty in answering the examination questions. Study the questions critically and meticulously before answering also bearing in mind that you are timed. The invigilation will be very strict and as such DO NOT think playing smart with the invigilators. Keep away ANYTHING that might implicate you; don't be surprised that even that Gum you might be chewing is a suspect. Engage the time when writing; expect nobody to give you extra time. Do not be tempted to talk as you might implicate yourself. Since the university authority says it's going to be CBT, do well to arrive the school in time so you wouldn't miss out. Above all, as a striker in a football pitch aims at netting a lot of goals, aim as high as 99% in your exam, that way, your admission is assured. Be wary of admission racketeers, don't fall prey with your money or body because the university authority is well prepared to conduct a free, fair and credible exam and as such no room for loopholes. Good luck and a resounding success in your Examination.

EARLY SIGNS OF PREGNANCY MOST READ ARTICLE FOR LADIES

f you're really tuned into your body and aware of how it ticks, you might begin to suspect that you're pregnant within the first few days of pregnancy. However, most women don't suspect they are pregnant until they miss a period. Some don't suspect or think they are pregnant for some months after conception. All women are different and will experience individual signs and symptoms. Even before missing a period, most pregnant women report having to go to the toilet more often. You may even have to get up during the night. This occurs after the embryo has implanted in the uterus and begins producing the pregnancy hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin ( hCG). This hormone triggers frequent urination. Constipation is another one of the possible early signs of pregnancy. Fatigue Fatigue or exhaustion is a very early sign of pregnancy in the first 12 weeks. Raised progesterone is one of the factors that contribute to fatigue in early pregnancy. Morning sickness Morning sickness or sickness and vomiting at other times of day. Despite the popular name, that queasy feeling isn't limited to mornings. Most pregnant women who experience morning sickness feel slightly nauseated at other times during the day as well. About half have vomiting, but very few have severe enough morning sickness to develop dehydration and malnutrition. Sore, tender and larger breasts

If you're pregnant, your breasts will probably become increasingly tender to the touch or may tingle. The feeling may be similar to the way breast feel before your period, only more so. Once your body grows accustomed to the increase in hormones, the discomfort will subside. Emotions change Hormonal changes in pregnancy can affect emotions, making many women feel more emotional and upset at times. Missed period Missing your period is one the clearest early signs of pregnancy, but it is not definitive, as stress or other factors may cause irregular periods. Also, some women who are pregnant may still have a very light period. Pregnancy test A typical pregnancy test can be done with a urine sample from the first day a period is missed, that's usually around two weeks after conception. Some sensitive pregnancy tests can be done before a period is missed. Pregnancy tests are free through the NHS or test kits can be bought from pharmacies. Once you know you are pregnant, see your GP. There's a lot to start planning and thinking about.I

Nutrition needs before pregnancy

Folic acid and pregnancy WebMD Medical Reference Medically reviewed by Dr Rob Hicks Folic acid is a type of B vitamin that's recommended for women planning a pregnancy. Taking folic acid supplements before getting pregnant and in the first part of pregnancy helps prevent neural tube defects. These are where the spinal cord in the baby's nervous system doesn't form normally. This can happen in conditions such as spina bifida. What is folic acid? Folic acid, also called folate, is a B vitamin. It plays a role in cell production and division, including the production of red blood cells. How much folic acid is needed? The Department of Health recommends a daily 400-microgram (mcg) folic acid supplement while you're trying to get pregnant and to keep taking it for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. A higher dose is recommended for women who are treated for epilepsy, diabetes and some other medical conditions, including a family history of neural tube defects. In these cases a 5 milligram (mg) supplement is usually suggested. Where do I get folic acid? GPs can advise on folic acid, and can prescribe tablets, or they are widely available in shops, including pharmacies. In the case of an unexpected or unplanned pregnancy, start taking folic acid as soon as you know you are pregnant. Foods high in folic acid Some foods, such as breakfast cereals and bread are already fortified with folic acid and other vitamins and minerals. Natural sources of folic acid include: Broccoli Peas Asparagus Brussels sprouts Chickpeas Brown rice

MUST READ ARTICLE FOR YOUTH ,SIDE EFFECT OF SMOKING

Smoking cessation health centre

Share this: Smoking – what will happen to my body? If you smoke, you've almost certainly heard friends and family nagging you to stop. Even as you reach for a cigarette you know that smoking makes heart disease, stroke, cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other killers more likely. Knowing about long-term risks though may not be enough to nudge you to quit, especially if you're young. It can be hard to feel truly frightened by illnesses that may strike decades later. So, if you carry on smoking, what could be the effects on your body? Smoking is harmful because there are many ingredients in tobacco smoke that can harm your body. The main health risks from smoking are lung cancer, heart disease and stroke. Smoking causes almost 90% of deaths from lung cancer, around 80% of deaths from COPD, and around 17% of deaths from heart disease.

However, smoking also affects other parts of the body too. One study on smoking found that, on average, men who smoked throughout their lives died 10 years younger than those who had never smoked. How smoking damages the body As well as nicotine, there are more than 4,000 chemicals in tobacco smoke, of which many are poisons. At least 60 of these chemicals cause cancer. Among some of the most dangerous components are: Tar: When you breathe in tobacco smoke, some tar is deposited in the lungs. Your lungs are lined with tiny hairs that help 'sweep' germs and other things out of your lungs. It is harder for these hairs to move if your lungs are coated with tar. The tar in cigarette smoke contains chemicals called carcinogens, which encourage the development of cancer cells in the body. Carbon monoxide: Carbon monoxide binds itself to haemoglobin in the bloodstream and prevents it from carrying enough oxygen around the body. This means that someone who smokes is likely to get out of breath and get tired more easily. Eventually, you can get a lung disease called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). If you have this, it gets harder and harder to breathe. Oxidant gases: Oxidant gases are gases that react with oxygen. They make blood more likely to clot, increasing the risk of heart attack or stroke. Benzene: Exposure to benzene can cause cell damage at the genetic level, and has been linked to a range of different cancers, such as leukaemia and kidney cancer. Benzene used to be added to petrol, but the practice was stopped because of health concerns. Cancer One of the most dangerous effects of smoking is the increased risk of lung cancer. Chemicals in tobacco smoke damage cells in the lungs and these then become cancer cells. The chances of developing lung cancer are affected by how much an individual smokes and for how long.

The fruit contains an antioxidant called "quercetin" which reduces cellular death caused by oxidation and inflammation of neurons, according to research conducted by G. Bureau and M. Martinoli at the University of Quebec. Prevent dementia Researchers at Cornell University conducted a study, published in the Journal of Food Science, which found evidence to suggest that apples may help "protect neuron cells against oxidative stress-induced neurotoxicity", which could reduce the risk of developing neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Reduce your risk of stroke A study involving 9,208 men and women showed that those who ate the most apples over a 28-year period had the lowest risk for stroke. The researchers concluded "the results suggest that the intake of apples is related to a decreased risk of thrombotic stroke."4 Lower levels of bad cholesterol A group of researchers at The Florida State University stated that apples really are a "miracle fruit". They found that older women who ate apples everyday had 23% less bad cholesterol (LDL) and 4% more good cholesterol (HDL) after just six months. Reduce the risk of diabetes Apples could also help lower your risk of diabetes. A study involving 187,382 people found that people who ate three servings per week of apples, grapes, raisins, blueberries or pears had a 7% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared to those who did not. Ward off breast cancer There is growing evidence suggesting that an apple a day may help prevent breast cancer, according to a series of studies conducted by prominent Cornell researcher Rui Hai Liu. Liu said her research adds to "the growing evidence that increased consumption of fruits and vegetables, including apples, would provide consumers with more phenolics, which are proving to have important health benefits. I would encourage consumers to eat more and a wide variety of fruits and vegetables daily." Recent developments on the benefits of apples from MNT news An apple a day is just as effective as statins in preventing vascular death. Researchers from the University of Oxford in the UK found that eating an apple everyday could be just as effective as statins in preventing vascular deaths among people over 50.

Red peppers are the belle of the ball at any buffet table. Crisp and incredibly sweet, these ladies in red are an easy sell to anyone who is not fond of vegetables. The only limiting factor is that they can be costly during winter, but now that it’s July, we can look forward to eating more inexpensive local peppers. Did you know that green peppers are just unripe red peppers? Because they are not fully mature, they have a bitter after taste, and half the vitamin C and 1/10th the vitamin A compared to their red or orange siblings. Vitamin A has been shown to improve sperm quality, and vitamin C helps build collagen, which ensures beautiful skin – all these combined makes peppers one of nature’s sexiest foods! Paprika and chili peppers offer the same benefits, but with extra capsaicin, a chemical that can produce a strong burning sensation in the mouth. This stimulating heat has been shown to increase blood flow making it a popular remedy for libido and pain relief. Here are five more alluring facts to increase your red pepper consumption: 1. Red peppers contain almost 300 percent of your daily vitamin C intake. Besides being a powerful antioxidant, vitamin C is also needed for the proper absorption of iron. If you are iron deficient, try combining red peppers with your iron source for maximum absorption. 2. Red bell peppers are a great source of vitamin B6 and magnesium. This vitamin and mineral combination shows a decrease in anxiety, especially related to pre-menstrual symptoms. Vitamin B6 is also a natural diuretic, so try stocking up on red bell peppers to reduce bloating and prevent against hypertension. 3. Red bell peppers help support healthy night vision. healthy eyesight, especially night vision. So when it comes to bell peppers, seeing red is a good thing! 4. Red bell peppers are packed with antioxidants. The combined effects of vitamin A and C create a great antioxidant capacity, and with lycopene in the mix, the red bell pepper becomes a top notch superfood. Lycopene is what makes tomatoes and peppers red. Red peppers are one of the highest veggies in lycopene, which has been successfully tested in the prevention of many cancers including prostate and lung. 5. Burn more calories with red bell peppers. Recent research has shown that sweet red peppers can activate thermogenesis and increase metabolic rate. Red bell peppers do not contain capsaicin, which is what makes peppers hot and causes us to sweat, but they do have a mild thermogenic action that increases our metabolism without increasing our heart rate and blood pressure like the hot peppers do.

The management of the Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta (FUNAAB) has disclosed that the University will only admit 3,500 out of the 12,500 candidates that participated in the 2015 post-UTME screening exercise. This was made known by the Director of Academic Planning, Professor Olukayode Akinyemi while commenting on the just concluded screening exercise.

He stated that it was imperative for Universities to have their own bench-marks, to maintain high standards. He noted that there were still other ways of screening-out candidates with bad characters even though they might have met the basic academic requirements in the interest of the system. Professor Akinyemi, however, advised candidates who could not be admitted into FUNAAB not to be discouraged as there were other institutions that could still admit them, because for now, FUNAAB could only admit about 3,500 applicants.

BIOGRAPHY OF BEYONCE VERY HOT Check it out and know some fact about her

Famous as : R&B singer Birth Name : Beyonce Giselle Knowles Birth Date : September 04, 1981 Birth Place : Houston, Texas, USA Claim to fame : Album "Dangerously in Love" (2003) Beyonce Giselle Knowles born on September 4, 1981 in Houston, Texas is an African-American R&B singer, actress and songwriter in the group Destiny's Child. Her father Matthew Knowles worked as Destiny's Child manager, while her mother Tina Knowles designed the group members glittering costumes. She once attended The High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Houston, Texas before finally stepping into music business. Beyonce and her group were discovered by Whitney Houston. During her time in the group, Beyonce was perceived as a leader for her songwriting and producing expertise that led to many hit singles "Jumpin Jumpin", "Bootylicious", "Nasty Girl", "Independent Women", "Happy Face" and "Apple Pie a la mode." At the beginning of their career, Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams (II), toured as an opening act for Christina Aguilera and TLC. Then in 1998, they released their group self-titled album, "Destiny's Child", which was produced by Wyclef Jean and Jermaine Dupri. Its single "No, No, No" peaked at No. 1 and the album itself went platinum. In 1999, they released a second album "The Writing's on the Wall", featuring two number one hits in "Bills, Bills, Bills" and "Say My Name" that won two awards at the 2001 Grammys for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and Best R&B Song, the latter of which was awarded to the songwriters, including Beyonce herself. Following both successful albums, Destiny's Child dropped "Survivor" in 2001. It became another smash, topped both the American Billboard 200 and R&B Albums charts, ruled the Canadian album chart, and generated success around the world. What's more, two singles from the album, namely "Independent Women (Part 1)" and "Bootylicious", went to the top of the Billboard Hot 100. On top of that, "Independent Women (Part 1)" became the theme song for "Charlie's Angels" in late 2000. Its title track "Survivor" gloriously won the band their second Grammy for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. Despite their soaring success, Destiny's Child decided to take a break to pursue solo careers. But they returned in 2004 to produce two new albums. The first album entitled "Destiny Fulfilled" and its first single "Lose My Breath" both reached the top 10 Billboard album and singles charts respectively. Along with the group success, Beyonce's solo career also rose up. She won the Songwriter of the Year award from the ASCAP

He graduated with a bachelor's degree in English literature in 1958. (In 1972 the university awarded him an honorary doctorate). Plays & Political Activism In the late 1950s Soyinka wrote his first important play, A Dance of the Forests, which satirized the Nigerian political elite. From 1958 to 1959, Soyinka was a dramaturgist at the Royal Court Theatre in London. In 1960, he was awarded a Rockefeller fellowship and returned to Nigeria to study African drama. In 1960, he founded the theater group, The 1960 Masks, and in 1964, the Orisun Theatre Company, in which he produced his own plays and performed as an actor. He has periodically been a visiting professor at the universities of Cambridge, Sheffield, and Yale. "The greatest threat to freedom is the absence of criticism." Soyinka is also a political activist, and during the civil war in Nigeria he appealed in an article for a cease-fire. He was arrested for this in 1967, and held as a political prisoner for 22 months until 1969. Nobel Prize and Later Career In 1986, upon awarding Soyinka with the Nobel Prize for Literature, the committee said the playwright "in a wide cultural perspective and with poetic overtones fashions the drama of existence." Soyinka sometimes writes of modern West Africa in a satirical style, but his serious intent and his belief in the evils inherent in the exercise of power are usually present in his work. To date, Soyinka has published hundreds of works. In addition to drama and poetry, he has written two novels, The Interpreters (1965) and Season of Anomy (1973), as well as autobiographical works including The Man Died: Prison Notes (1972), a gripping account of his prison experience, and Aké ( 1981), a memoir about his childhood. Myth, Literature and the African World (1975) is a collection of Soyinka’s literary essays. “Against my rational instincts, I believe that we have here a genuine case of a born-again democrat,” he said. Ultimately, “the real heroes of this exercise have been the Nigerian people and that gingers me Full Name Akinwande Oluwole "Wole" Babatunde Soyinka Now considered Nigeria’s foremost man of letters, Soyinka is still politically active and spent the 2015 election day in Africa’s biggest democracy working the phones to monitor reports of voting irregularities, technical issues and violence, according to The Guardian. After the election on March 28, 2015, he said that Nigerians must show a Nelson Mandela–like ability to forgive president-elect Muhammadu Buhari’s past as an iron-fisted military ruler, according to Bloomberg.com. Soyinka has been married three times. He married British writer Barbara Dixon in 1958; Olaide Idowu, a Nigerian librarian, in 1963; and Folake Doherty, his current wife, in 1989. In 2014, Soyinka revealed he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and cured 10 months after treatment.

MUST READ ARTICLE, CHECK THE LINK BELOW TO KNOW REASON WHY YOU MUST EAT ONION....

Turns out that onions are nothing to cry over — these flavorful bulbs are packed with nutrients. "Onions are super-healthy," said Victoria Jarzabkowski, a nutritionist with the Fitness Institute of Texas at the University of Texas at Austin. "They are excellent sources of vitamin C, sulphuric compounds, flavonoids and phytochemicals." Phytochemicals, or phytonutrients, are naturally occurring compounds in fruits and vegetables that are able to react with the human body to trigger healthy reactions. Flavonoids are responsible for pigments in many fruits and vegetables. Studies have shown that they may help reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease, cardiovascular desease and stroke Jarzabkowski explained that a particularly valuable flavonoid in onions is quercetin, which acts as an antioxidant that may be linked to preventing cancer. It has a host of other benefits, as well, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center, reducing the symptoms of bladder infections, promoting prostate health and lowering blood pressure. Other important phytochemicals in onions are disulfides, trisulfides, cepaene and vinyldithiins. They all are helpful in maintaining good health and have anticancer and antimicrobial properties, according to the National Onion Association. Partly because of their use in cooking around the world, onions are among the most significant sources of antioxidants in the human diet, according to a 2002 report in the journal Phytotherapy Research. Their high levels of antioxidants give onions their distinctive sweetness and aroma. These antioxidants and flavonoids may help promote heart health, reduce inflammation and decrease the risk of cancer, in addition to a load of other good things. "I like to recommend eating onions because they add flavor without salt and sugar," Jarzabkowski said. Onions are low in calories (45 per serving), very low in sodium, and contain no fat or cholesterol. Furthermore, onions contain fiber and folic acid, a B vitamin that helps the body make healthy new cells. Onions are healthy whether they're raw or cooked, though raw onions have higher levels of organic sulfur compounds that provide many benefits, according to the BBC. A 2005 study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found that there is a high concentration of flavonoids in the outer layers of onion flesh, so you'll want to be careful to remove as little of the edible part of the onion as possible when peeling it. Here are the nutrition facts for onions, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which regulates food labeling through the National Labeling and Education Act. ase

iger have all suffered attacks by Boko Haram and earlier this year they announced a regional force to end the militants' insurgency that has claimed more than 15,000 lives since 2009. The defendants were accused of criminal conspiracy, killings, wilful destruction with explosives, fraud, illegal possessions of arms and ammunition, as well as using psychotropic substances. The accused include Nigerian national Mahamat Mustapha, also known as Bana Fanaye, who according to Chadian authorities masterminded the June 15 suicide attacks that struck a school and a police building in N'Djamena, killing 38 people and injuring 101. On July 12, a fresh attack in the Chadian capital claimed by Boko Haram left at least 15 dead and 80 hurt after an assailant dressed as a woman blew himself up in the central marketplace. Shortly after Fanaye's arrest in late June, Chad's top prosecutor Alghassim Kassim said the suspect was the "ringleader of a network smuggling weapons and munitions between Nigeria, Cameroon and Chad". Chad has beefed up security in response to the bloodshed.

Buhari Commends Military Over Boko Haram Fight check it out

President Muhammadu Buhari has commended the Nigerian military for the increased attack on Boko Haram insurgents. He urged them to maintain the momentum until they are totally defeated and the North-East liberated. President Buhari commended the military when Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Defence, Alhaji Ismaila Aliyu, and his team, paid the president a visit at the Presidential Villa to brief him on the activities of the ministry and that of Defence Headquarters. Speaking with State House correspondents after the meeting, Aliyu said that the defence ministry was not involved in the procurement of arms for the nation’s Armed Forces in recent years. According to him, the president has, therefore directed that the ministry be co-opted into the 13-man investigative committee to probe the procurement of hardware and ammunition for the Armed Forces. “We briefed Mr. President on the activities of the ministry and Defence Headquarters and he was happy with the operations of the ministry, the operation we are in now is the fight against insurgency. There is substantial progress and achievements to talk about. He has asked us to continue with the momentum and is very willing to support the needs of the Armed Forces,” Aliyu said. Speaking further, he noted that “the ministry was involved in the procurement of arms sometime ago, but in recent years, the responsibility was shifted to the services”. Ismaila expressed happiness with the establishment of the committee to probe the past procurement of military hardware, explaining that the president directed during the meeting that the ministry be co-opted into the probe panel. “Mr. President has asked that the Ministry of Defence be included in that (arms probe) committee. “The ministry was involved in the procurement in those years, so definitely we have something to present to that committee. “So, we are part and parcel of that committee. The ministry is very excited that this committee has been formed; because our own concern apart from the administrative and financial support is to make sure that policy thrust is complied with. “Procurement of relevant equipment according to specification of Nigerian Armed Forces is being complied with and we are very happy with that. At the end of this, we hope to have procurement that will be value-added, cost effective and will meet our needs locally and internationally.”
