Ms. Maduafokwa, the Highest in UTME/JAMB 2020, awarded 16 million naira

-
The UTME exam is an exam done annually for those who wish to get admitted into the tertiary institutions, ranging from the Universities to the colleges of education. Every year it has been carried out except in 1996 when most of the universities in Nigeria were on strike. And to gainfully get admission is to score high in the exam and do well in the different screening processes of different schools. To get admitted into a tertiary institution, one must first of all pass the exam and with a very good score, at least.

In this year, 2020, the registration was done in a fast way and then the examination held in March in a hurdle free process. Soon enough, the results were released before the outbreak of Coronavirus and the halt of all educational processes. A little after this, the JAMB body met to deliberate on the cut off mark and look at the general performance. It was at this point that the top 13 candidates in the examination were discovered. 

The top 13 candidates were all from the Engineering faculty, choosing different Engineering disciplines. There were 3 girls and 10 boys. At the top of the ladder was Ms. Egoagwuagwu Agnes Maduafokwa. She is currently a student of Louisville Girls High School, Ijebu Itele. She scored a whooping mark of 365, hitting 99 in both Physics and Mathematics. 

A commenter stated that her termly school fees is about 1 million naira and the pass mark of her school every term is 65. In her school, to make an A is to get around 95, crazy right? Maybe or maybe not. Her school has set such a standard that their students excel very well in national exams, like half of the current students in SS3 made at least 300 in the 2020 JAMB. 
Moving on from that, the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) discovered that most of the top students in the UTME chose Engineering and decided to award a prize to the highest. This is how Ms. Maduafokwa was awarded a 16 Million Naira prize. A tremendous amount enough to train her in any university in Nigeria and start up an Engineering firm. 
We wish her well.

Biography of Poet J. P. Clark is a Nigerian poet from the Ijaw tribe. He studied at the University of Ibadan; it is from Ibadan that he got to write a poem about Ibadan, and it is from here that he developed as a poet. Analysis of the Poem This is a poem about the city, Ibadan. This Ibadan is in South West, Nigeria. It is in the state of Oyo. It is an ancient city that had been in existence even before the coming of the British. As the city is old, the houses of the city are dirty and the roofs are rusted. This is also an unplanned city. The persona begins by describing Ibadan as running splash of rust: that is, Ibadan is filled with rust; rust here symbolizes old and ancient. The color of this rust is that of “gold” which the persona shows. The use of “scattered” shows disorderliness of houses in the city. Then, the seven hills are the seven hills that surround the city. “Like Broken China in the Sun” represents the disorderliness and the scattered plan of the city. ...

There is an argument about entrepreneurs and businessmen that has often elicited arguments among intellectuals, economists, politicians and even business men. The main reason for this argument is to state if entrepreneurs are born and not made.  Although most people believe businessmen are made and not born, others disagree. No one is really born to be rich or poor, however, destiny throws people into families on different parts of the social ladder, but this doesn’t mean anything.
