It's been awhile I had time to make up some educative articles for the students as I normally do. Reason: I have been busier at work of recent, nonetheless, I have a warning and advise for you today. Read and pass it to your family and friends (FF).
Nigeria is a country with "little" or "no" regulation in the scheme of services and things delivered to the public, especially to our students; thus careful students have learnt to protect themselves against fraud and frustration. I will take them one after another...
Several Education Blogs
Today Nigeria has more than a thousand news blogs posting "copied" contents about education in various facets, admission and related topics. Most of this bloggers know little or nothing about the subject matter. They are only after money -which I doubt if they end up seeing.
JAMB Result Upgrade Scam
It is easy to scam students in a country where no one cares to read, where "expo" rules. But mind you, there is nothing like result upgrading! If you have given your hard earned income to anyone (in cash or in favor) as regards to upgrading, you have been duped.
JAMB change of course(s)/institution(s)
Of a truth, JAMB introduced the changes of course/institution platform to allow for meaningful corrections and switch of choices for candidates. These changes are official, but going through it the wrong way can lead to serious frustrations.
JAMB change of course is a sensitive process, professionals (people with experience) should handle it. Already there are several reports of people who have ran into mistakes doing it themselves, and sorry for such candidates. It's over for them, till next year. Mistakes in change of course or school is not reversible! To entrust your changes in hands or professionals trained for it, to request it from SchoolGist.com.ng.
Admission "Runs"
Several people will claim to be "Dr. this or Dr. that", posing themselves as lecturers or Dead in some schools and promising to give you admission even when you know you failed. Be careful!
Sit down now that you have chance and time, study for your post UTME and get ready for your exams. If you pass, I bet you, admission is yours. No school will fail you if you have passed, unless your script ran into some kind of mistakes in marking -more reason why you should be prayerful as well.
Kindly note that only God and your hard work can give you a "worthy admission" this year.
The Roll of SchoolGist.com.ng in all these
Our roll is that of young Nigerians who chose to be different, who chose to solve problems than seek for fame and money, who have your interest at heart before theirs, who stay awake to work for you while you sleep, who continually think of a way to make things better in Nigeria.
Since start-up, SchoolGist remained the best in what they say and do. We attempt to build our students and not to deceive them. And we deliver any service we advertize.
What our services does
1. Our SMS alert keeps you informed of any event in your choice school, even while you are at home asleep.
