TEST FORMAT: The test will be Computer based. Usually in two sections. The first is a set of General Knowledge questions while the second part is skill/technical based (Based on your chosen course of study). The general paper section is common to all candidates and will always be the first part of your test (Based on past questions, this section contains 50 or 60 questions to be answered in 30minutes.) Formerly(2002 - 2013), questions in this section were based on general knowledge, drawn from the Cinfores cbt questions bank. However, more recently (2016&2017) questions for this section are basically related to general use of English, fill in the gaps, idioms and analogies. For this year (2018), the test will be administered by Flexisaf and the part I will most likely be Use of English as always. After the test, successful candidates will be invited for interview. The interview is a short session with the panel. Only a few candidates are dropped at this stage. For now, we will focus on passing the aptitude test, since this is the stage where the largest number of candidates will get dropped. It is worthy of note however, that the award is usually based on number of slots per state, so you are only in competition with candidates from your state and not the necessarily the next guy in the hall. This study pack is packed with all you need to best prepare for the test. However, if you feel you want to explore further, check online or visit our online library at www.teststreams.com/library . We wish you all the best and promise to always update you on relevant information that may help you pass the test easy. Always consult us in case of complaint(s) or questions.

  • Media Framing of Super Eagles' Performance and Effect on Fans
    Africa Media Review, Volume 19, Numbers 1&2, 2011, pp. 27–47 © Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa, 2013 (ISSN 0258-4913) Problematising, Blaming, Moralising, and Recommending: Media Framing of Super Eagles’ Performance and Effect on Fans Chuka Onwumechili* Abstract This study investigates frames that the Nigerian media use in analysing performance of the Nigerian national soccer team’s performance during eight football tournaments since 2000 – two World Cup finals and six African Nations Cup finals. The study investigates two questions – one designed to identify frames used by the media in analysing the team’s performance and the second investigating whether those frames align with schema used by fans. The method involves analysing 78 online media reports of the team’s performance at the eight tournaments and 32 discussion threads posted by the team’s fans on a board Eagles Nest hosted by the website Cybereagles.com. The study finds that the media use various frames and devices, including the following: various blame targets, distancing, dismissal of responsible persons, use of locally-based players, and hiring competent coaches to assess the performance of the national soccer team. Those frames were found to largely resonate with fans on Eagles Nest but the report also notes cases of non-alignment. Key Terms: Media framing, media effects, agenda-setting, problematising, blaming, moralising, Super Eagles, Cybereagles.com, Eagles Nest. Résumé Cette étude explore des différentes approches des medias nigérians dans l’analyse de la performance de l’équipe nationale de football depuis 2000. Ceci concerne deux qualificationsà la Coupe du monde et six en Coupe d’Afrique des nations.

    QUEM ESTÁ NA COPA DAS CONFEDERAÇÕES 3 NIGÉRIA A Nigéria não era favorita ao título da Copa Africana de Nações. Apesar de ter alguns jogadores renomados no elenco, a diferença para Costa do Marf m e Gana passava a impressão de que a equipe seria uma mera coadjuvante na competição. Mas, quando a bola rolou, a situação se inverteu e o time f cou com a taça, de forma surpreendente. O feito garantiu uma vaga na Copa das Confederações no Brasil e a oportunidade de superar os favoritos mais uma vez. Arte sobre foto de Mike Hutchings/Reuters Assim como o Brasil, a Nigéria utilizará o torneio como uma boa preparação às Eliminatórias Africanas para o Mundial 2014 para não repetir o vexame de 2010, quando foi eliminado na primeira fase.

Soccer has spread to every corner of the world and although it is not the most popular game everywhere, it is without a doubt the most popular sport in the world. This popularity of the sport has allowed for money to be poured into the game, both by sponsors and fans. The economics of the game have created a more competitive atmosphere within the sport. The competitive nature of the sport attracts more players every year from everywhere in the world.

  • Between Force of Reason and Reason for Force: Legacy of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu- Ojukwu1
    Draft. Check against delivery BETWEEN FORCE OF REASON AND REASON FOR FORCE: LEGACY OF CHUKWUEMEKA ODUMEGWU- OJUKWU1 By Chidi Anselm Odinkalu2 1. Introduction I come to this responsibility with a sense of both gratitude and profound ambivalence. The decision of the Government of Anambra State to name this institution in honour of Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu is a considered and thoughtful one for which it deserves gratitude. In doing so, it honours history and memory in a way that makes them the focus of continuing and informed inquiry. Emeka Ojukwu graduated from Oxford University with degrees in history, an enterprise, which exists “so that human achievements may not become forgotten in time, and great and marvelous deeds…. may not be without their glory.”3 There is also another reason besides glory for which we must study history and recover memories that harbor it because an interest in history should enable future generations to glean the right lessons from the past.Doing 1 Text of Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu Memorial Lecture, Chief Ben Nwazojie (SAN) Auditorium, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu University, Igbariam, Anambra State, Monday, 5 November 2018. 2Ph.D. (London-LSE), Senior Manager, Africa Programme, Open Society Justice Initiative; Chair, Advisory Board, Global Rights; Chair Board of Directors, International Refugee Rights Initiative (IRRI).
