*BREAKING: Changes from the 2025 JAMB Policy Meeting — Everything You Need to Know!*

The 2025 JAMB Policy Meeting has delivered some massive updates for students, parents, and education stakeholders in Nigeria. From changes in admission deadlines to a shift in how scores are evaluated — here’s the full breakdown.
If you’re aiming for university admission this year, read this carefully — your chances may depend on it!
*JAMB Is Now All About Ranking — Not Just Score*
Prof. Oloyede, the JAMB Registrar, confirmed:
“JAMB is not an achievement test; it is a ranking exam.”
That means your admission chances don’t just depend on how well you scored — but how your score compares to other candidates.
All JAMB result slips will now include:
Your actual score
Your national rank
Real-Life Examples:
A student with 370 ranked only 16th
A student with 200 ranked 533,005th
A score of 140 may land you a rank of over 1.5 million
*Takeaway:* Focus on your ranking, not just the score.

Insight: The more applicants, the tougher the competition — especially in popular courses like Medicine, Law, and Engineering.
Approved 2025 Admission Cut-Off Marks:
Federal/State Universities: 150
Colleges of Nursing: 140
Polytechnics: 100
Colleges of Agric/Education: 100
Admission Deadlines (2025/2026 Session):
Public Universities: Must conclude admission by October 2025
Private Institutions: Deadline is November–December 2025
Admission Offers Have Expiry Dates!
If JAMB recommends you: The school must accept or reject you within 2 weeks
If the school offers you admission: You must accept/reject within 4 weeks
Delays can cost you your admission.
JAMB Tightens Admission Rules Against “Runs”
Universities must admit at least 90% of candidates on merit before using “connections” (exemption mode).
Merit-first is now policy — and it’s enforced.
Minimum Age for Admission Remains 16
Anyone younger than 16 is not eligible for admission — regardless of their JAMB score.
Medical Courses Still Most Competitive
Over 570,000 candidates applied for Medical Sciences.
Only about 115,000 can be admitted.
That’s less than 1 in 5 applicants — make sure your backup plans are solid!
*Final Words for Students and Parents:*
The game has changed.
Your child scoring 300+ is great — but if they rank 200,000th, it might not mean much.
Focus on rank, stay alert, and act fast on every admission offer.

COPIED

I'm a friend of President Tinubu. I have an excellent relationship with him. I don't have any issue with him, it's just that we are in two different parties.

- Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal

Inter Milan 1998/99 is arguably their strongest ever squad. Ronaldo, Baggio, Zamorano, Kanu, Djorkaeff, Recoba, Simeone, Pirlo, Zanetti, West, Bergomi, Pagliuca. Unbelievable side!

PRINCIPLES

Living in accordance with your values and elevating principles as the foundation of every decision requires a conscious, intentional life. This means you are actively aware of your words and habits. For instance, writing is a lifestyle. It has evolved from mere intention to behaviour like embarking on a long mental run. It integrates your thoughts into concise, constructive sentences that reveal various aspects, such as areas where you need more knowledge than you possess, and aids in clarifying your thoughts when you allow them to flow freely. However, choosing to live a high-yielding lifestyle entails first calculating the potential outcomes of each action before you proceed decision.

It is always best to choose the most challenging path; usually, it is more emotionally taxing when you opt for delayed gratification. It’s a bit like having a green salad next to a decadent cake full of sugar when you are hungry; the easiest choice to satisfy the craving is to eat the cake, but the logical mind understands that the road to health and success lies in making the right choice. We can liken this to every decision regarding health and success, which often involves taking the longest route or the most difficult path among all possible choices. I have observed that the conscious participation of anyone who has achieved something great stems from their ability to exercise restraint and to discipline themselves to undertake the hardest task.

Whatever you resist changing indicates it holds some form of control, whether it's postponing reading a book or training early in the morning. If we let our desires dictate our principles, we are merely dreaming. You need to choose success intentionally; that is how life is meant to function according to God. This is also why we aren't where Bill Gates or Warren Buffett are — because we haven't applied the same principles, or our thinking hasn’t been disciplined. We must speak the truth to ourselves and practice self-control to tackle difficult things. God does not favour the undisciplined; it is only when you've given your all and even pushed harder than expected that success demands much more than you are prepared to give.

We all have weaknesses in various areas of life. It's only when you choose to say no and exalt principles above yourself. If we study God's word, we'll see how He operates. He has exalted His word above Himself. That’s why, on judgment day, His justice will be fair, as it is the truth that will judge us, not emotions— all His ways are just, and His decrees are perfect. He is righteous, and His justice is merciful, yet everything He does is based on principle, for He designed the entire earth to function on principles. If we study any aspect of nature—from weather patterns to an animal forming in the womb, from the time it takes for a season to pass to the minute seconds and hours on a clock determined by the sun, to an elephant's trunk that drinks water—every single thing we observe in nature is governed by

Laws are the truth. We cannot violate gravity or be starved of oxygen and survive. He has fixed the hermeneutics of life on his kingdom, which functions according to his will. When we violate those principles, such as instant gratification, which belongs to the realm of the flesh, the conscious choice is intentional. We were designed by God at the origins of life to function according to his words because he gave Adam and Eve the instruction to till, keep and care for the ground, but as soon as Eve was dominated by something that she was created to manage it subdued her rather than God’s word which is built on truth.

Truth, in every case, leads to life. We aren't where Osama bin Laden ended up because he violated the principles that ignited a war against him. His worldview shaped his reality, entrenched in religious dogma, proving his philosophy could not align with the Creator, as his principles were not grounded in truth. Even though his religious paradigm acknowledged God, we can clearly see they are not part of the kingdom of light since there is no darkness in God. The mechanics of his belief system created havoc and harmed innocent people due to religion. This serves as further proof that it's not religion that fosters thriving environments.

It is living based on truth. Those who wait for favours by praying without applying discipline, self-control, patience, and tenacity are fooling themselves with misguided religion. Principles are the keys to every good thing when activated by faith. In every action we take that is disciplined towards a certain direction with conscious participation, understanding exactly what you will produce is living life by design, leading to not producing haphazard results. If we allow feelings or emotions to dictate our choices, that creates an unpredictable life. The only reason anyone should fail is that they do not understand the laws of success or they are unwilling to pay the price

Just as you create purple by mixing two colours, you can apply the same principle to every decision. Each action generates an equal and opposite reaction in the physical world. Whether good or bad, it influences something in the world. That’s why God's words say a man shall reap what he sows, explaining the varying results we achieve. Although we don’t all start from the same point, we may experience different limitations. However, when you understand the laws that defy gravity, you can create movement. There’s a path to everything, as Edison demonstrated by refusing to give up. He eventually invented the light bulb. It’s about having the determination to succeed in whatever you pursue when it’s done intentionally. At the core of every decision, ensure you make the right calculations and apply them consciously.

CONSTRUCTION

Many people are sleepwalking through life. They have no awareness of the unconscious decisions they make by default. They go through the motions of what is necessary and what requires the least effort, failing to consciously construct their lives. Life should be lived with the intention that all your activities lead to a result where we practically apply laws by understanding the building blocks that intentionally create life. We could envision the building blocks as the walls of the house of life. If you build your life without conscious intention, your materials will not yield the desired outcome.

One day, we will be tested by fire to see if the house stands. That is why it is crucial to thoughtfully apply the laws that create life. Life has many parts, and all parts need a careful application of principles such as family, purpose, health, and work. When you integrate all these elements into the house and understand the building blocks you are using, you will create the kind of life you envision. When people build a physical house, they pay close attention to the specifications, the quality of the bricks, the colours of the rooms, and the size and placement of every room in the house. The house is designed within a budget, and every detail is carefully considered. Yet, people do not approach life in the same way. They do not intentionally design life, choosing which building blocks to include in the house, the arrangement of each room, the colour schemes, and the values that support the structure, all while ensuring nothing is out of place.

A house stands when it is built on truth, ensuring there are no hazards. That is exactly what life could be compared to when there is order, health, truth, and who do we invite in to dine with us. Belief systems build the structure of the rooms that you spend the most time in, which could be compared to the compartments of life. The inner workings of the house by being connected to God brings illumination to the rooms in the house when it is full with light you can see every detail. Where you need maintenance, the flow of water means there is sanitation, no blockages, and crystal clear water that has been purified, which is the information flow. Where you need to spend more time is the centre of the house in the living room, the heart where God abides, which makes the connection rich. Is there any clutter or rooms that need to be tidied?

When we build life through the thoughtful application of laws, we thoroughly analyse each part of the house. This perspective allows us to see life from the inside out rather than the outside in. As I considered all the rooms in the household, they appeared clean. What quality of food do you consume? This thought necessitates the removal of sugars and fats, which are tied to our carnal nature as they are the easiest to consume. In contrast, nutrient-dense foods require time to prepare and come with different quality carbohydrates, often regarded as daily staples. This is contentment, where you thrive, for man was not meant to live on bread alone but on every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. This is the essence of life, as embracing God's words brings life and abundance into all the rooms of the house.

The windows of the house represent all the ways that connect us to the view outside through our eyes, mouth, and nose—our physical senses that interact with the material world. The mind of the house links ideas to the functionality of every component within it. Reflecting on all these parts aids in logically placing everything, especially when pursuing self-development. Even God compares life to a house when He states that its quality will be tested by fire. This temple belongs to God, which is why it is crucial to keep the rooms of life holy, for He abides there. Living in alignment with His perfect, pleasing, and acceptable will entails walking in the spirit and being led by Him; this is the key to life through faith.

Sanctify the rooms with the washing of the word and commit to communion with God at the centre, and then everything flows from there. No one allows a stranger into the house; access is granted through the door by permission. We give entry, and this is what we agree upon. If we do not agree with foreign information, we do not permit it access. Always, before you embrace any idea, ensure you have consciously investigated it. The content within the house differs from the structure. The content gains access through the door. Consider the rooms of life by the content you wish to include in every area of existence. Exercise patience and self-control to consciously navigate this process and decide on the quality of décor and the placement of everything for the functional purpose of life. Every man’s work will be tested by fire.

Title: Shaka. Explores the story of the making of the iconic African king, from his childhood through adulthood during the 1700s. Starring: Nomzamo Mbatha, Ntando Zondie

Neymar, Griezmann, Hazard, and Gareth Bale – Career Goals:

The Commander of Goats

So, I visited my village for a cousin’s wedding, feeling like a big city guy with my shades, white sneakers, and fresh perfume. I walked into the compound like I owned the place—until I met him: the village goat.

This goat didn’t blink. Just stared at me like I owed him money.

I ignored it. Big mistake.

As I turned my back, this demon in goat form charged at me. I screamed like I saw a ghost, dropped my phone, and ran in zigzags like I was dodging bullets in an action movie.

People were laughing, phones out—recording. Someone shouted, “Na city boy dey fight goat!”

In my panic, I jumped on top of the car, slipping slightly, leaving a dusty butt print on the bonnet. The goat just stood there at the bottom like, "You done? Or should I come up there too?"

Eventually, the owner came and dragged the goat away, laughing so hard he almost fell.

To this day, that video still circulates in the family WhatsApp group. They renamed me “Commander of Goats.”

Moral of the story: Never underestimate a village goat. They're not animals. They're warriors with grudges.
