Unilag Post Utme; How To Calculate Aggregate Scores

Calculating your aggregate scores after post utme can be quite tasking and confusing. And trust me, Unilag has a unique way of doing this. Here is a detailed description of how to go about it.

The formula is the sum of your UTME SCORE divided by 8 and your POST UTME SCORE divided by 2.

For instance; if you score 290 in UTME and went on to score 70 in POST UTME, your aggregate score will be calculated thus:

UTME Score = 290/8 =36.25
Post UTME Score = 70/2 =35
Aggregate Score =36.25 + 35 =71.25%

Don’t get confused, I quite understand that the post utme questions is 40. You might want to
ask, how then is it possible for me to score 70 in post utme.

This is the magic; whatever you score in post utme over 40 will be rounded up to 100, that is it will rounded up to percentage.

Let’s say for example you score 20/40. It will be the same as 20/40 multiply by(*) 100/1 which is equal to
50/100. What ever is gotten over 100 is what will be divided by 2 to get your final post utme score before combining to get the aggregate as
described above.

Your aggregate score will be measured against the cut off mark of your chosen course.
The cut off marks for all courses will be published weeks after the post utme exams.

While you wait, I wish all of you good luck. Don't forget to pray.

Schwarzenegger to Zuckerberg: Bro, Do You Even Lift?

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg had a surprise participant on his online Q&A Tuesday: Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The former California governor hopped onto Facebook to ask Zuckerberg about how he manages to find time to exercise despite being "one of the busiest guys on the planet."

"Mark, I always tell people that nobody is too busy to exercise, especially if Popes and Presidents find time,"

Schwarzenegger "So tell me how you find time to train and what is your regimen like?"

As it turns out, Zuckerberg manages to squeeze in workouts at least three times a week, he wrote in reply.

"I also try to take my dog ( https://www.facebook.com/beast.the.dog ) running whenever I can, which has the added bonus of being hilarious because that basically [is] like seeing a mop run."

ULSU - Fighting for student or self?

In the light of University of Lagos Students' Union recently released message to the students, mixed reactions have trailed this supposedly good tiding. The message reads thus:

"Have you been harassed by any Campus ShuttleShuttle operators before? Have they ordered you to get down from the bus because of "CHANGE" before? Do you want this to stop? If yes, put a call through to the union on 08165294779 or
07036319456 the next time you experience such from them. One of them was made a scape-goat today for assaulting one of our students on "change matters" to serve as deterrent to others. Kunle Adegunoye Charles ULSU PRO"

One would indeed be curious as to why ULSU took that bold step 'on behalf of the students' as it claimed. Why now? What was the motivation behind it all? We do not know for sure, but this is what we know.

Well, we know that the Union’s president, Abiodun Martins, was brutally attacked last week on his way back to school after he had reportedly visited his father at Iyana Ipaja alongside four of his cabinet members.

We also know that the incident which occasioned a full page account from ULSU was a one-sided story. Why? Because that account actually came from it's public relations officer who claimed privy to everything that occurred that fateful day, and that was the only account we relied on.

And finally, we also know that shortly after the attack, ULSU decided to crack down on bus drivers that plies the school route.

Do we take this to mean that ULSU had no previous knowledge of the constant harassment students have been facing in the hands of bus drivers? Or was the crackdown actually triggered by the attack on its president? The ratio decidendi may actually run so deep that it would be quite tasking to pinpoint its origin.

Telling us that "one of them (the drivers) was made a scape-goat today..." begs to question if this is totally to protect students' rights or an axe-grinding of some sort.

While it is glaring that the president's aides have been derelict in their primary calling to protect their principal, ULSU should be reminded that the powers vested on them by the students shall and cannot be used to settle personal vendetta.

French President Holds Emergency Meeting Over NSA Intercepts

French President Francois Hollande is holding an emergency meeting with the country's top security officials to respond to WikiLeaks documents saying that the U.S. National Security Agency eavesdropped on the last three French presidents.

A French presidential aide said Wednesday's meeting was convened to evaluate the information released and draw relevant conclusions. The aide was not authorized to be publicly named.

The documents published in French daily newspaper Liberation and investigative website Mediapart late Tuesday include material that
appeared to capture officials in Paris talking candidly about Greece's economy and relations with Germany.

Ironically, they also include discussions about American espionage of its allies.

There was no instant confirmation of the accuracy of the documents, though WikiLeaks has a track record of publishing intelligence and
diplomatic material.

WikiLeaks spokesman Kristinn Hrafnsson told The Associated Press he was confident the documents were authentic, noting that WikiLeaks' previous mass disclosures — including a large cache of Saudi diplomatic memos
released last week — have proven to be accurate.

The release appeared to be timed to coincide with a vote in the French Parliament on a bill allowing broad new surveillance powers, in particular to counter terrorist threats. The Senate approved it Tuesday and the lower house of parliament is expected to give it final approval
Wednesday.

The release prompted uproar among French politicians, although it didn't reveal any huge surprises or secrets. France is among several U.S. allies that rely heavily on American spying
powers when trying to prevent terrorist and other threats.

Hollande's office didn't comment beyond announcing Wednesday's security meeting, though his Socialist Party issued an angry statement sayingsaying the reports suggest "a truly stupefying state
paranoia." Even if the government was aware of such intercepts, the party said, that doesn'tmean "that this massive, systematic, uncontrolled eavesdropping is tolerable."

An aide to Hollande's predecessor Nicolas Sarkozy told The AP that the former president considers these methods unacceptable, especially from an ally. The aide was not
authorized to be publicly named.

There was no immediate comment from former President Jacques Chirac, also reportedly targeted by the eavesdropping.

U.S. National Security Council spokesman Ned Price released a statement Tuesday evening saying the U.S. is "not targeting and will not
target the communications of President Hollande."

"We do not conduct any foreign intelligence surveillance activities unless there is a specific and validated national security purpose," Price added. "This applies to ordinary citizens andand world leaders alike. We work closely with France on all matters of international concern, and the French are indispensable partners."

Price did not address claims that the U.S. had previously eavesdropped on Hollande or his predecessors.

Ever since documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden showed in 2013 that the NSA had been eavesdropping on the
cellphone of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, it had been understood that the U.S. had been
using the digital spying agency to intercept the conversations of allied politicians.
