OAU’s New Hi-Tech Certificate for Alumni of 2024 till Date

OAU’s New Hi-Tech Certificate for Alumni of 2024 till Date

If you are an alumnus of OAU with graduation class of 2024 and you have already collected your certificate, the school will sooner or later call you to return the certificate you have collected, in exchange for a new one. If you have not collected your certificate and you recently have been trying to, but it has not been possible for you, it’s not because you have a problem, it’s because your set got classified with the 2025 set, and the 2025 set is getting a new kind of certificate—which you will be getting with them. Stay with me, you will understand me soon.

I believe OAU decided to join the likes of UNILORIN and UNILAG in producing hi-tech certificates for their graduates, and they decided to commence that with the 2025 set. But because only a small portion of the 2024 set certificates have been produced, and only a very small number of them have been issued out, they decided to add the 2024 set to the set to enjoy the hi-tech certificate too. So, for now, the release of 2024 set certificates has been stopped, with the aim to continue giving them out when the new hi-tech certificates are ready. Like I have said, the school may announce that you return your certificate if you belong with the 2024 set and you have collected the (old type of) certificate, this is so that they would be able to give you the new hi-tech one—which is also the one the 2025 set forward will be collecting.

Now, what is this hi-tech hi-tech certificate we are shouting up and down? The school didn’t name it that, I did… cos why not (LOL). If you are familiar with UNILAG and UNILORIN certificates, and I think LASU’s too, you’d notice they are not just thick white/yellow/brown papers with a lot of things written on them in black; they have different types of technologies on them to make fabrication of the documents harder… not impossible, but harder (we all know so long it’s humans producing a thing, fabrication is possible). So, the new OAU certificate, rumours say, it will carry some holograms—maybe one or two different types of holograms, and each will carry its unique QR code. I don’t care much about the hologram—it cannot stop fabrication, I only care about the QR code.

If each certificate carries a customised QR code, apart from the fact that this would render so many fake certificates useless (unless it’s not scanned by the person you are tendering your fake certificate to), it would also make verification of certificates easier, and instant; I mean no need for anyone or any institution to contact OAU to verify the genuineness of a certificate that carries its own QR code, the body could just scan the QR code on the certificate and they would be re-directed to OAU’s verification portal, and everything about the alumni would show, including their unofficial transcript… or official transcript even, depending on how secure the verification portal is. This would eliminate having to fill forms at the school and running around the school’s Senate to get your verification request responded to by the Exams and Records anytime a body sends a request for verification to the school in your name. It will also save time wasted waiting on paving your trancript processed and sent to you or your receiver. So for people with genuine certificate, this QR code thing would be a good thing for them, but for people walking around with fake certificate, if this QR code system goes around and reaches all sets, and it actually functions the way I think it should, this should be a bad news for them… they must up their game or get caught.

TPS Down! No OAU Transcript

 TPS Down! No OAU Transcript

In the last four weeks thereabouts, it’s been OAU alumni reaching out to know what is wrong with OAU’s Transcript Processing System (TPS; with the web tps.oauife.edu.ng)? Well, we have answers; PEC always have answers. Not only the answers you will get here, you will also get the insidest of the inside information. Let me start from here, when the transcript processing website is down, just know it’s not only the website, it’s the whole transcript processing components: the web, the software, the database, the people of the Transcript Unit… everything. This is because everything about transcript production in OAU has been largely digitalized since the introduction of TPS after the COVID-19 experiences, and processing transcripts manually now is almost out of what OAU does. That’s an achievement, yes?

The problem now is, these things are installed based on nepotism and favoritism in OAU; it shouldn’t shock you if you heard it’s one person in charge of engineering the whole Transcript Processing System (allegedly o), and if anything goes wrong with the system, that is the only person who can fix it (allegedly o). If this is truly the case, you shouldn’t think it as a monopoly of the transcript processing system, it’s not that, it’s more than that when it has to do with tech products; because if I was the engineer in charge of a whole school’s transcript processing system, I would constantly tamper with something so that I would always be called upon. I would also do everything to make sure no other person is able to work on the system beyond secondary functions. Yes, this has been happening with the system (allegedly o), and it can only happen if backed by nepotism.

This is almost similar to what happened during the era of ETX (a private company) handling OAU’s transcript application processes (a whole OAU). One would ask, how did ETX get the OAU transcript application gig and held it for many years of not getting most of the applications delivered? They even got an office at the school’s administrative building. They over-charged the school’s alumni for each transcript application. They got double-paid for one order, and didn’t deliver most of the orders they got paid for. They handled OAU’s transcript for years, and never got probed till date for all the money they collected and not deliver. These would only happen if there is a force within the management making it possible (allegedly o). That’s nepotism for you.

TPS has been down for up to four weeks now; no transcript can be sent (even if it gets processed manually), the engineer is either around to fix it or not around yet, or their demands are not being met yet, so they are taking their time stalling. But government and the school have been unable to make money from transcript applications for the four weeks the system has been down for. Transcripts already applied for are not getting sent, thereby making alumni lose opportunities and money. This is what happens when a system is built on “na our pikin…” and not on efficiency and effectiveness. No matter what the problem is with TPS, if it was built and handled by an accountable body, it would have been fixed in a matter of 24 hours. The reason why it has taken up to four weeks and it’s still not working is because some nepotistic nonsense is going on underneath. If TPS is not back up and functional till the end of November, that is a probable cause enough for alumni to stage an outcry. Because by December (being the months of high international admissions, employments, promotions and all), if transcripts are not getting processed and sent, a lot of admissions would be lost, a lot of jobs and promotions would be lost; I believe no alumni would want this.

OAU Pre-Degree and UTME [TAGS: OAU, POST-UTME, ADMISSION, CUTOFF, CUT OFF, PREDEGREE, JUPEB]

OAU Pre-Degree and UTME

Like the JUPEB programme, the pre-degree programme, according to generally belief, is a preliminary or remedial programme for higher education aspirants who are unable to pass UTME and candidates who want to boycott UTME, but this is mostly wrong. It is indeed are preliminary or a remedial programme, I don’t know if there is any other school that does it differently, but I know for OAU and some other universities, pre-degree does not carry that general definition; pre-degree rather is for aspirants who are able to score at least 200 in UTME and at least average in the OAU post-UTME too, but they just cannot score high enough to get the course they want in that school, so they resort to using the pre-degree as a remedial route (you will understand this by the end of this article).

OAU is one of those universities that will not conform to it if government says to cancel post-UTME, or NUC and JAMB declares any score lesser than 200 as university cut-off mark. You cannot qualify to write OAU’s post-UTME if your UTME score is anything lesser than 200, in fact, the system will not even recognise your JAMB registration number at the point of registering for the post-UTME; this means you will not even be able to apply for the post-UTME if you score lesser than 200 in your UTME. If you or your ward who has chosen OAU as their first choice of institution score lesser than 200 in the UTME, just don’t bother waiting on OAU’s post-UTME, change the school of choice immediately.

Now, this is the most important part, you see that 200 UTME score required for an applicant to be able to apply for OAU’s post-UTME, that is not the cut-off for admission, it’s only the cut-off for the university’s post-UTME, so don’t be one of those people who think because they have scored 200 in the UTME, they will be offered admission by OAU; as I’ve stated, the 200 is only the university’s cut-off, departments have their own cut-offs too, and if an applicant does not meet their aspired department’s cut-off, the department will not consider them for admission. Also, other departments (which they meet their cut-offs) will not automatically consider them for admission… unless of course they use legs, slots, and all those things. This is possible because a candidate scoring at least average point in each of O/Levels, UTME, and post-UMTE qualifies for an admission—even if they are not qualified for their department because they do not have the department’s cut-off; but if no one is pushing such supplementary admission for you, you are not getting it. So, if your aggregate point after summing all your exams and their points together is at least average but you do not meet your desired department’s cut-off, you can still be admitted to another department which you meet their cut-off, only that you will have to know somebody powerful in the system to push this for you, and you will have to do change of course with JAMB so you can change your choice of course to the one you are given.

If you do not know already, an applicant’s aggregate score is gotten by analysing their O/Level results, UTME result, and post-UTME results, and transposing the grades and scores into points, and adding all the points together to get an aggregate point. This aggregate point is what will compete with the departmental cut-off to determine whether you will get that department or not, and whether you will get an admission in the school or not.

Talking about the pre-degree now, with all that has been discussed, this is why, in OAU, the pre-degree is a remedial programme for students who can score 200 in the UTME, it’s just that they cannot score enough that will get them their aspired department when their UTME score plus other exams have been converted to points. So, if you are a -200 UTME scorer and you know you can never score up to 200 no matter how you prepare, I’d advise you to not bother doing the OAU pre-degree programme; it would be a waste of money and time when all is finished and you have to return home after one year without an admission. If you can score at least average point in all of your needed exams, even if you cannot score up to your desired department’s cut-off, you are definitely going home after the pre-degree programme with an admission—the school will surely fix you to another department which you have their cutoff mark; you don’t have to use legs, slots or anything.

For the pre-degree route to work for you into getting an admission, you must score at least average point as your CGPA at the end of the two contacts (first semester and second semester), your O/Levels when converted to points must reach average at least, you must score at least average in your UTME, (I am not sure of this) but you may need to score at least average in the post-UTME too. For the pre-degree to work for you in getting admitted to your desired course, by the time your scores from the needed exams are converted to points,  you must meet the department’s cut-off. For emphasis, even if you do not meet your desired department’s cut-off, but you have at least average in your exams and the pre-degree CGPA, OAU will automatically consider you for another course which your aggregate score meets, and this is the difference between going through the pre-degree route and the UTME route. Understand these things before going for OAU’s pre-degree, you don’t want to waste money and time.

Delayed LASU Transcripts: The Causes and The Ways Out [TAGS: LASU, LAGOS STATE UNIVERSITY, TRANSCRIPT, STUDENT COPY]

Delayed LASU Transcripts: The Causes and The Ways Out

Lagos State University (LASU) transcript process just has to be one of the top five slowest state-owned universities’ transcript processes; it has always been so, and staff and applicants have gotten used to the dysfunctional system of processing transcripts that no one is complaining anymore like they used to. I guess when one has complained about a problem so much and no solution, they just adapt to the problem, find their own personal solution to their own part of the problem, or suffer in silence what it causes them—the Nigerian ways. But are these the right way? There are schools elsewhere around the world that are able to deliver your transcript electronically within few hours you submitted an application for such delivery, and if there is any state university or any university at all in Nigeria that has gotten to that level, it should be LASU… Lagos is still the centre of excellence, no?

The problem with applying for your LASU transcript and never having it delivered or having it delivered but way later than you need it looked like it was going to get solved when they introduced the online application system; the online portal is so functional one would think that’s the end of the problem with the transcript process, but no, the problem is not the means of application and payment, it is the process of gathering results and processing them into transcripts. So, the online application portal does not address the major problem, it only solved the problem of people having to come down to school to apply for their transcripts; now, anyone can apply for their transcript anywhere. The problems of delayed delivery and no delivery however continue to exist.

An alumnus of the school can apply for their transcript and make the payment for it online, but if they don’t have extra legs and hands on ground helping them fetch their file, results, pushing everything to the Transcript Unit, monitoring the progress of the transcript production and approval, and bribing this person and that person within all of these, the alumnus may just wait forever on the delivery of the transcript, and now that transcript is the most important academic document for an alumnus trying to travel abroad, trying to further their education, or trying to get a standard job, many people have lost great life opportunities because of this.

The permanent solution to delayed transcript delivery and undelivered transcripts—which UNIBEN has done and it works—is to set-up a team (of at least ten members) to upload from papers to an electronic database all academic results one by one, from the very first results the school published to the very last one. This may take up to one year or more if each member of the 10-man team uploads ten people’s results per working day (making it 100 alumni’s results uploaded per working day, and 700 per working week), but the completion of this project would solve over 70% of the problems with the transcript processes. Another 20% of the problem would be solved if student copy transcripts are made available online for alumni to download themselves immediately after applying and paying online—this would reduce the loads of transcript staff of the Transcript Unit would have to work on, the focus would be on official transcripts now, thereby enhancing delivery speed.

The remaining 10% of the problem would be human errors in the process, uploading of subsequent results after the first back so we don’t have any more results that are only on papers, power supply, communication with applicants and receivers of transcripts. A land phone which will ring every time if called within working times and days, and a supportive staff would actually answer it every time it rings, this would solve a good part of these problems or at least give applicants insight into whether their application is getting the good attention or not. But since the school has the Nigerian excuses for functioning backwards in the processing of transcripts, it’s a show we are not ready to stop the culture of applicants needing to use a third-party in processing their transcripts if they are going to receive it early or ever. We cannot complain too much though, the existence of institutional and organizational failures like these is why solution-based brands like us survive. It’s disturbing, but it’s the Nigerian way.

Installed Fake Degree Documents Versus Other Fake Degree Documents

Installed Fake Degree Documents Versus Other Fake Degree Documents

This is not the kind of topic to discuss publicly, but as it is a matter that has always been, currently is, and will always be in Nigeria, and also, because it’s becoming even more rampant than ever, then it becomes important for me to discuss what I know people experience when it comes to fake degree documents.

First to mention, since the days of “Oluwole” (the headquarters of fake and forged documents, stamps, and signatures in Nigeria), I have known there are different kinds of fake documents; there are some you would do and always have to watch your back when you use them, there are some that are almost real but you cannot use them at certain places, and there are some that are as real as the original document and can be used anywhere at any time without having to watch your back. When we talk about these fake degree documents, the major factors determining where your fake documents fall are different from what you may think they are. In fact, to better understand the factors determining the usability of your fake degree documents, I have divided them into three main categories:

Designed Fake Degree Documents: This is when a designer goes ahead to design an academic document for you; it can be done badly and it can be done expertly that the chances of suspicion would be so tiny. But no matter how best it’s done, you can only use documents like this at small schools and for small employments, or at big schools and big employments that care less about verification and authenticity, schools and employers that allow just any document presented to pass anyhow. In this kind of case, you can luckily use this kind of document to get a job locally and never have a problem on it; as already mentioned, this is because many employers in Nigeria don’t bother asking the school to verify academic documents anymore, they just employ people based on what you present to them as your academic document, and if you can do the job well or quickly learn to do it while on it, no one would question your qualifications, so there’d be no call for any investigation into the authenticity of the fake qualification you presented to them. It is important you know that in the 21^st century, you cannot use this kind of document for travel purposes, you cannot use it to further your education locally or abroad, you cannot use it to get a job at multinational and standard companies—as these ones always ask for official transcripts or ask the school to very your certificate/transcripts. So, going for fake degree documents like this should be after you have understood you only need them for basic things not for big things. The cost would be between #0 and #300,000 depending on the designer doing this for you.

Uninstalled Fake Degree Documents: These get a little better than the number (1) discussed above, as the documents are produced exactly like it’s the school that produced them; in fact, it’s probably produced using the school’s materials, so they look exactly how the ones produced by the school would look. You can use these documents almost anywhere locally, so long they don’t ask the school for verification or request for official transcripts. You cannot evaluate these documents; you cannot use them for international engagements like jobs and admissions that would involve traveling abroad. This one is better than number (1) above because it is produced using the school’s materials, and the chances of discovering the fakeness are really low—so long you know where you are using them is where they don’t spend time trying to ensure genuineness of documents. This would cost between #500,000 and #1,000,000 depending on which and which document you are doing and the runsman doing it for you.

Installed Fake Degree Documents: I personally call these fake ‘academic documents that are genuine’; reason being they are produced by the school, given to you by the school, and you can use them anywhere in Nigeria or outside Nigeria for anything and at any time. This is because you are meticulously installed into the school’s filing and online systems like you actually got admitted to the school, you did the programme, took courses and passed. You engaged in different curricula and extra-curricular activities, and you graduated and got cleared for service or exemption by the school (if you were above 30 at the session of graduation or your programme is part-time). This is a perfectly done job that will never give you a reason to be afraid of where to use your academic documents—you are indeed a graduate of the school, only you didn’t go to the school. This can be done for undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications in a couple of universities in Nigeria—which I cannot state here. The perfection of this kind of runs goes beyond just producing for you some sort of documents that cannot pass verification and will definitely cause problems should any institution or organisation try to look into the authenticity of the documents; this rather is a through-and-through manipulation of different things, files, stamps, and signatures at different offices in the university so that the university would believe you are one of their graduates, and they would produce your certificate, Proof of English Proficiency/Certificate of Medium of Instruction, student (unofficial) copy of your transcripts, and official copies of you transcripts anytime you need them sent to an institution or organisation, and the school will also verify that you are one of theirs anytime anyone or any authority asks them to verify your degree. This right here is the height of fake academic documents, that is why I called it installed fake degree documents; reason being that it’s not just done, it is done perfectly. So perfect that, should anyone dig up something in the future to argue you didn’t graduate from the school, you can sue them, because the school has your files and everything that says you graduated from the school; you would even be able to log on to your dashboard on the school’s portal and see your results from year one to final year. This is how deep these things can get for those who know how to do it. You can use such degree anywhere locally and abroad, you can evaluate it at any evaluation body, it will pass any test. This is however very costly; it’s not for people who can’t spare millions of Naira.

The point of this write-up, again, is to let you know—if you are looking for a fake degree document that will be useful at places that matter and not give you fears, go for only the one I called the installed fake degree documents; they are costly to do, but you will have value for your money. You can contact +2348139534187 to talk more about this.

Date of Birth Issues on Transcripts and Parents’ Parts in the Problem

 Date of Birth Issues on Transcripts and Parents’ Parts in the Problem

Not until more and more years of attending to clients on their DOB discrepancy problem they are having on their academic transcripts and other documents, I originally believed the two major causes of DOB dissimilarities in documents among Nigerian graduates are:

(1). the insecurities of gaining admission too early or too late par age, that students feel the need to adjust their DOB to fit the admission age they feel secure with; and

(2). Students having the fear of post-graduation realities that could be caused by age (i.e. NYSC’s graduation age bar of 30 for disqualification from service, age discrimination rampant among Nigerian employers for selection for employment, retirement age factors, visa age factors, and so on).

More years of hearing DOB discrepancy cases, I have gotten to learn that parents/guardians spearheading their children/ward’s admissions and documents processing is unarguably the number one cause of the DOB discrepancy problems children/wards usually have to battle with later after graduation (when they are adults)—especially when they now want to process some kind of international admission, visa, employment or sort. Some Nigerian institutions and organisations might ignore a core dissimilarity on your documents, oyinbo will not ignore it, and a lot of opportunities can be denied just because of such fault.

It is a good thing for a child to have an adult monitoring and running their admissions for them, and also guiding them as well as helping them do things on their behalf, but it is time it gets known that as good as it is for the child, it can also be his/her misfortune later if the adult makes any mistake about any core information. If you are helping the younger ones do things that involve documents or will involve documents later—especially things that require their DOB, make sure you are not the one to make the decision for them—even if you know their DOB, it is possible they have been using on other documents/activities/programmes a different DOB from the one you know. I have heard a lot of adults sounding like they dislike their dad, mum, aunt, uncle or cousin for being the cause of the DOB issue they are having and will have to spend a lot of money to be able to rectify or lose so many life-changing opportunities. Don’t be your child/ward’s problem just because you are trying to help them achieve success on a thing.

If you are a person someone has caused this problem of DOB discrepancies on documents for, or maybe you caused yours yourself, we are able to solve this problem in several universities in the southwest, southeast and up north, although not for a token; it is a very expensive process because: (1). schools normally don’t correct DOB’s when it’s the DOB you gave them when you were admitted and you didn’t correct it before you graduated, so the solution path is always backdoors, and backdoors are never cheap; (2). several people and offices will be involved in solving this problem, with each of them collecting a good sum for their service and the risk they are taking. Bottomline, a person who cannot afford DOB modification on the academic transcript cannot get it.

Modification of Wrong Date of Birth on Certificate [UNIVERSITY, WRONG DATE OF BIRTH, WRONG DOB, MODIFICATION]

 

Modification of Wrong Date of Birth on Certificate

Most higher institutions in Nigeria don’t add alumni’s dates of birth on their certificates, only on the transcripts do they add. Some schools don’t add a date of birth on neither of the transcripts nor the certificate. While some schools are really all about the every-factor authentication; they do not only add your DOB on your transcripts, they also add it on your certificate; they add your passport photograph on your transcripts and certificate, and they can even add the pedigree of your lineage to these documents should they ever feel like. University of Ibadan and University of Ilorin fall on this group of Nigerian schools that would put everything about you and your grandparents on your certificate and your transcripts if they could. This usually gives alumni of these schools problems when they have different DOB on other internationally relevant documents than they have on their certificate and/or transcripts.

When in a problem like this, the affected alumni will need to change the DOB on these graduate documents carrying the wrong DOB to match the one on their international passport, NIN and BVN for instances, and unfortunately, schools don’t change the DOB printed on these documents—unless it was a mistake from them, and they would issue you some form of apology letter for this mistake after correcting the error. But in the case when the DOB they have printed on your graduate documents is from what you submitted to the school in your freshman year when you were doing your admission clearance, and you didn’t modify it before you graduated, then that is what you will end up having on these documents for life—unless, of course, you find the backdoors to making the impossible possible on this case.

If you find a backdoor help on modifying the DOB on your certificate, let me let you know from here that the processes for this—although different from it—is dependent on the processes of getting the DOB on your transcripts modified to carry your preferred DOB. This would mean you are paying for two services: modification of DOB (transcripts) and modification of DOB (certificate). As I have mentioned, these two are different processes, but the processes of the latter are totally dependent on the processes of the former. This is as much as I can talk about these, you will get a fuller explanation and a better understanding when you give a call +2348139534187.

 Fake University Certificates, Transcripts and Proof of English

This is my first write-up where I bluntly talk about the fact that we are able to help you get some university documents in the most discreet process and style—be it postgraduate documents or graduate documents. We have how to get these documents for you in two federal universities in Nigeria, and you will be able to use them in any institution, organisation and even at any evaluation body without any hiccup. People call them fake documents, but we call them near-genuine documents; because we are actually not the one producing the documents but the schools we have these connections at. Your name will enter the school like you were given admission to the programme (in your preferred year) and you graduated (in your preferred year). All documents proving your graduation will be provided for you in one package, and in fact if any organisation sends a request for verification to the school, we will take care of that and have the school confirm that you are indeed an alumnus of the school and they issued you the documents. This is how much I can talk about this subject matter on a public platform, if you need this service, you call +2348139534187 so we can talk better on the process. Thank you.

How to Change the Date of Birth on your Transcript to Match your International Passport

If you have read some articles from me on this phenomenon, you would have gotten some things by now: that the DOB your school put on your transcript is the one you gave them when you were doing your documents screening in your freshman year when you were carrying files around; that different DOBs on your transcript and international passport will cause your documents and applications a lot of rejections on your emigration processes; no matter what you do, your school will not change your DOB after you have graduated, the chances of an affidavit working for you on this case is almost 0; and lastly, we just might be able to help you fix that problem using some top secret means.

I must emphasize that you cannot change your DOB at your school from the front doors—school definitely don’t change dates of birth once you have graduated, and also, do not have the mind that talking to some staff of the school you know might get you to where the problem is solved for you—no staff would engage in such activity for anyone (even if they actually have means of doing it), it’s because should this boomerang, they will not only lose their job, they might go to prison for a lot of charges against them. So, no matter who you know, in the system, just give up on the idea that they will help you change your DOB on your transcript or connect you; in fact discussing this issue with any staff of the school might reduce your chances of being able to get the issue solve through backdoors. I repeat, the only way left for you to fix the DOB problem is through the backdoors, and we know some doors (if you know what I mean). Give a call when you could +2348139534187

 Where is Oluwole, the Headquarters of Forged and Fake Documents?

I am not going to talk about the Oluwole things (near-authentic fake documents) we can do for you on this write-up; here is where to click on to read about that. On this one write-up, I only want talk about Oluwole because I have had clients asking me questions about Oluwole, and every time I have been asked about it, it shocks me a bit, as it is rare to find someone who knows about Oluwole nowadays. Maybe everyone knows about Oluwole, but they don’t want to talk about it anywhere because such discussion should be with people who are really into hardcore runs too.

For those who don’t know what Oluwole is, Oluwole is a place in Lagos where any document can be forged, produced, fabricated… anything. As Computer Village is for computer and computer accessories, Oluwole was the Computer Village of fake and forged documents. There is nothing that cannot be done here; international passports, certificates, anything that’s originally produced by humans and machines can be reproduced at Oluwole. A lot of people are in the abroad today because Oluwole did most of their papers.

Life was easier when Oluwole was around. Academic problems and job problems were easier to solve with Oluwole. All of a sudden, we just stopped hearing about Oluwole. I don’t know how they disappeared, but I know the last time I heard about them was when they produced President Obasanjo’s business card, wrote a note on it with his handwriting and appended his signature to the note, just to help some three or four guys secure a job at one of the major oil companies in Nigeria. It was far later that the runs casted due to carelessness of one of the beneficiaries. The Government probably cracked Oluwole down after that... I'm not sure.

Another thing I could say caused the disappearance of Oluwole boys would be extinction; “Yahoo-Yahoo” became popular around a time in Nigeria and men of Oluwole started switching to “Yahoo”, they lost their existing men and no new ones got trained to replace and carry the culture on. Hence, the sudden disappearance of the syndicate. However, we all know things are still happening at relevant offices; certificate things, transcript things… everything that has to do with academic documents, they still happen where they happen, the only problem is getting the right information and finding the right people to run it for you. Nothing in this Nigeria is impossible; this is a public space, I cannot say more than that here.

OAU’s Transcript Processing Really Got Better [TAGS: OAU TRANSCRIPT, OBAFEMI AWOLOWO UNIVERSITY TRANSCRIPT, UNIIFE, TRANSCRIPT IFE]

 OAU’s Transcript Processing Really Got Better

When OAU’s transcript processing was terrible in delivery timeline, customer relations and what have you, we wouldn’t stop shouting on the school and its management everywhere online and offline. OAU’s transcript processing got even worse around 2019 and 2020, the fastest delivery then would be around three months, and it could go as worse as you waiting forever for your transcript to get delivered but never getting delivered. The worst part was no one would contact you to let you know what’s wrong and what you needed to do. Everything about expecting OAU to deliver your transcript after paying for such service was terrible. More like dozens of transcript applications were entering per day but only a handful of finished transcripts get delivered per day, thereby causing a backlog of applications. PEC as a business in education and solutions solved a good number of problems delaying these transcripts then, and we made some good revenues from helping alumni solve these problems as a third-party between them and the university. But in the last few months, OAU’s transcript processing has been at its best and it is necessary we sing their praises the same way we criticised them when they were terrible at it. The Transcript Unit is so up and doing now that alumni who graduated in the last five years or so might even be able to get their transcripts delivered in days without having to settle anybody or contact anybody to start running around for them on their transcript processing. People who graduated around ten years ago might however need to expect their own delivery in weeks (say three or four weeks); compared to before, this is good. OAU becoming better in management and adoption of modern technologies, I am sure if the Transcript Unit keeps this pace, sooner, same-day delivery of transcript would be achieved.

The only aspects the university is still having issues in relations to transcript processing are:

1.      Transcripts of alumni of Health Sciences and Pharmacy, because their results are not really programmed on any electronic spreadsheet yet, which makes collation and processing take between several months and never getting attended to because no staff wants to voluntarily take up such stress;

2.      Transcripts of alumni whose matric number look like this 851592 and those whose matric number look like this SCI/99/001 (compared to the new matric numbering system that looks like this SCI/2000/001), the implications attached to the old matric numbers are that you graduated like two or three decades ago, or even more, and also, your results are only on papers (which may have totally or partly been lost or damaged by rodents, water or room temperature). Also, whether your results are somewhere close or not wouldn’t matter much, the fact that you have a scary matric number scares staff away from touching your transcript application; so such applications are usually abandoned until someone shows up for you or on your behalf to start running around for you in processing your transcript; and

3.      Transcripts of alumni who transferred between departments when they were in school and those who had a lot of extra years. I think this problem occurs because the software engineers who built the current results and transcripts software the school uses (called TPS) did not consider the fact that some people are not able to run their programme without transferring, taking a leave of absence, having extra year and all; they built the software to only understand that you started your programme when you should start it and you ended it when you should end it. This means if you transferred between departments or you had any interruption, the software would only be able to read the part of your programme before the transfer or interruption happened. So the rest of your results and other information would have to be processed manually (from your department)

The only alumni having problems with getting their transcripts easily and fast or getting it at all are people who fall on any one of the three circumstances discussed above. I believe if OAU knows this and they intend to solve the problem so these alumni can enjoy the new advancement in the OAU transcript processing, they can do it. While we head towards achieving same-day delivery of transcripts, we should make it general and not that it’s only possible for some set of alumni. Again, kudos to the school management and the Transcript Unit for the advancement they have achieved so far, it’s impressive.

Seventh Day Adventist Hospital Ife School of Nursing Form

 Seventh Day Adventist Hospital Ife School of Nursing Form

If you stumbled upon this write-up it has to be you’ve been trying to get some needed and current information about the School of Nursing form/application of Seventh Day Adventist Hospital Ife and you have not been able to get any or a current one. This has been a problem many aspirants of the School of Nursing (SON) face. Even as an educational consultancy, when we have clients who consult us to know about SDA Ife’s School of Nursing admission, it always boils down to having to visit the hospital/school before we can get the needed information, and this is not a good thing. In a 2024 when everything is based on information and publicity, it is not a good thing that an entity as profound as SDA Ife School of Nursing doesn’t have a solid publicity—especially about their admissions. It is understandable that they have limits to the number of applicants they can admit so they probably don’t want to bother putting the adverts out there to attract too many applicants they wouldn’t be able to admit most of, but it is still okay for an entity that is growth-centric to expand, make more revenue, and give opportunities to broader population.

SDA Hospital Ife School of Nursing need to give answers to hundreds of their aspirants out there who want to apply to the school. Your nursing training has been confirmed excellent over the years and that should mean that you create the opportunity for more people to join the school, one way to do this is to create a proper channel for your aspirants to know when your form is out. At the very least have a website where applicants can apply instead of having to call somebody and the manual bank payment procedures you use; technology has gone beyond how you use it. Even small businesses/entities than yours are having proper payment channels and information channels now; you are too big for the payment channel you current use and how you advertise your School of Nursing admissions. I would advise you create a small unit for the hospital and SON to be in charge of media, information and publicity; you can afford to employ two or three experts in web services, media design and editing, and writing to be in this unit, and they would handle all your web/internet services for you. You would be surprised how easier things get for you, your students/aspirants/applicants and patients when this is done. Your revenue would even get better, and this might, on the long-run, bring good publicity to the SDA-Ife ministry.

Something OAU Alumni Abroad Must Know Before Applying for the Student Copy of their Transcript [TAGS: OAU, TRANSCRIPT, STUDENT COPY, TPS]

Something OAU Alumni Abroad Must Know Before Applying for the Student Copy of their Transcript

This write-up is basically for OAU alumni in the diaspora who want to apply for a student copy (personal/unofficial) transcript; the aim is to inform you on how to save some money many of you usually pay for the application which you do not need to pay. I know you people have a lot of money and over-paying a token like #8,000 wouldn’t shake you, but still, the write-up will be made available to fulfil some information purposes, and also for somebody out there who likes to pay for only what they are buying.

I have worked on dozens of transcript applications made by OAU alumni abroad, and I know that when many of you apply for your personal transcripts (student copy, unofficial transcript) on the school’s transcript portal, instead of paying #15,000+ for electronic delivery of the transcript to your mail, you end up paying #23,000+.  This happens because you choose “outside Nigeria” as the location to deliver the transcript to (because you are abroad), instead of choosing “Nigeria” as the location to deliver the transcript to since you are receiving it by email. Check the marked portion of the image below for better grasp of my point.

Whether you are in Nigeria or abroad, if you are applying for the personal copy of your transcript, just choose “Nigeria” (as in local delivery), since it would be sent to your email address, stating that you are abroad by choosing “outside Nigeria” would only make you pay #8,000 more than you should have paid. However, if you are abroad and you want the personal copy sent to you by paper (courier) you are paying the same amount for paper delivery of a transcript (official transcript) going to an institution abroad; meaning this cannot help you save money. I hope this helps you save some #8,000 sometime so you can use the money to buy yourself and some friends some cups of coffee or something else you need.

OAU’s Departmental Cut-off for 2022/2023 UTME Admissions [TAGS: NAIRALAND, OAU, ADMISSION, CUTOFF, UTME, POST-UTME, JAMB, POST-JAMB, FIRST BATCH, MERIT LIST, SECOND BATCH, SUPPLEMENTARY LIST, THIRD BATCH, VC LIST]

OAU’s Departmental Cut-off for 2022/2023 UTME Admissions

As an applicant to OAU or a parent of an applicant, you should know by now what the departmental cut-offs mean and the difference between the departmental cut-offs and the school’s cut-off. But to aid the context of this discussion, I’d say the major differences between the school’s cut-off and the departmental cut-offs are that while the school’s cut-off is always 200/400 in the UTME, and it’s what qualifies you to be able to write the Post-UTME, the departmental cut-offs are the real admission screener, they are determined by the departments and released by the faculties, they are based on the aggregate score which is a statistical summarization of the O/Level results, UTME results and Post-UTME results in which the applicant must have at least average of the aggregate before they can be considered for admission at all, and they should have the aggregate score that beats their departmental cut-off before they can qualify for the admission—other necessary boxes being checked too.

It should be understood now that the cut-offs being released now are largely what determines whether an applicant gets admitted or not. These cut-offs are relatively high this year because OAU aims to admit only 40% of its admission quota from these applicants as they have admitted 60% of the admission quota from last year’s applicants. Don’t get the last statement wrong, as it doesn’t mean OAU is admitting 40% of the 2022/2023 applicants, it only means OAU has an admission quota every admission year, and since the 2021/2022 applicants and the 2022/2023 applicants are going to be merged to fit into one academic session to resume together soon, it means that the admission quota has to be shared around the 2021/2022 applicants and the 2022/2023 applicants. Let’s say OAU’s admission quota is 20,000 slots for the academic session resuming later this year, it would mean that 12,000 applicants have been admitted from the 2021/2022 applicants and only 8,000 will be admitted from the 2022/2023 applicants—this explains why the departmental cut-offs are relatively high; only a tiny portion of the 2022/2023 applicants can be admitted. Don’t forget this assumed 8,000 would be shared around UTME applicants, pre-degree applicants, JUPEB and other DE applicants. Tough, right? I believe the technicalities surrounding this session are understood now. If so, below are the departmental cut-offs for the 2022/2023 admission session as released by the authorities. Please note that for the highly competitive departments like Medicine and Surgery, Nursing, Dentistry, Medical Rehabilitation, Pharmacy, Law, Accounting, and Economics, you may beat the cut-off and still not get admitted—you need to use your longest legs to get these departments (if you know what I mean).

 

 

Wrong Date of Birth on Your Transcript: The Ways Out of the Problems it Causes [TAGS: NAIRALAND, OAU, TRANSCRIPT, AGE, DATE OF BIRTH, CHANGE AGE, CHANGE DATE OF BIRTH, DOB CORRECTION, DATE OF BIRTH CORRECTION]

Wrong Date of Birth on Your Transcript: The Ways Out of the Problems it Causes

Having different dates of birth on your documents like NIN, international passport, licenses and transcripts might not be a big deal if all you do is local, but the time you decide to go international, like get a job abroad  or try to get an admission abroad or a visa to travel abroad or something, then is when you’d realize the problems having different dates of birth on your needed documents can cause you. Although your name and age are two things most countries are able to afford to allow you claim as they suite you; Nigeria is one of the countries that can afford leaving your name and date of birth to you to determine (we might or never get to when Nigeria allows you to determine your gender), but still, the authorities in Nigeria, for understandable reasons, still make claiming different names and different dates of birth regrettable for you. Example of this is when you, for some reasons, leave one date of birth with your school when you got admitted and you leave another date of birth on your national and international identification documents; every institution that would be involved in fixing these differences for you would make you regret you let this happen to you.

You don’t want to go to Immigration office to change the date of birth on your passport to match the one on your transcript, because then they would ask you to go change the one on your NIN first and that one would cost you so much money and time; trust that Immigration office would charge you high too, and everything would take a while to complete. Not that trying to change the date of birth on your transcript is allowed by your school, but people always have their ways around things like this (this is Nigeria); so, schools might insist they don’t change dates of birth on transcripts, but nothing is impossible if you know you ways. You can call us on +2348139534187 to know if we are able to offer such help in your school; it’s not many schools we can do this at, but we have enough resources at some schools to be able to pull a cat out of a hat for you on modifying your date of birth to the preferred one.

Why Your Letter of Professional Standing from TRCN to QTS is Yet to be Sent [TAGS: NAIRALAND, TRCN, QTS, LOPS, UK, TEACHING PROFESSION]

 Why Your Letter of Professional Standing from TRCN to QTS is Yet to be Sent

If this topic interests you, then it is most likely that you have applied for QTS and you have paid to TRCN to send your Letter of Professional Standing (LOPS) to QTS and you have been expecting to hear from QTS that they have heard from TRCN about you but no. Otherwise, such topic as this wouldn’t have caught your eyes—unless maybe you are you just got interested in the QTS programme and you are trying to gather information on what you should know. Either ways, this write-up is for you. If you have applied for your LOPS and you have waited for too long for it to be delivered to QTS and now you are anxious about your QTS validity period, or you have only applied to QTS and you just want to apply for your TRCN LOPS, or you have not even applied for anything at all but you want to know more about all that’s concerning QTS, TRCN and LOPS, you will get what’s useful for you somewhere along reading this epistle. So read along!

To start with, people who have applied for their LOPS from TRCN to be sent to QTS and it’s been months of waiting and not delivered yet, you must know that I am talking from TRCN Abuja (where LOPS’s are made) when I tell you it takes about eight weeks for LOPS to get attended to after the day you applied online by paying the #60,000 and sending your documents to lops@trcn.gov.ng. The reason why it takes this long is because, more than ever, TRCN is having a burst in the number of people who patronize them for this or that document—especially the LOPS as a document, because so many Nigerians in UK are trying to get a teaching job there and so many Nigerians in Nigeria are trying to enter UK through the teaching profession, and going through the QTS becomes important to such people. Hence, TRCN cannot attend to everybody’s request all at once, which is why they attend to applications for LOPS according to the month it’s applied for. As at today August 28^th 2023 when this write-up was published, TRCN is currently attending to LOPS applications made in June. When we were in July, they were attending to the applications made in May. When in June, they were attending to applications made in April. This means you need to count some eight weeks away from the day you applied for your LOPS to be sent to QTS and pick that as when to expect your LOPS to be delivered to QTS. So if you are anxious about your QTS expiry date right now, calm down, TRCN will send your LOPS before your QTS validity period is over.

If you have not applied for your LOPS but you want to know all you need to know before you can apply, the first thing for you to know is that QTS is like an evaluation body but for professional teachers; this is where your teacher documents including your LOPS would be sent to and everything evaluated and converted to the UK standard of being a professional teacher. You are going to have to apply to QTS and get a reference number for them to recognize you at all. After this is when you would apply to TRCN for your LOPS and pay the sum of #60,000 on Remita to this body. You would have to upload your documents to QTS and leave TRCN to send your LOPS to them. Please know that LOPS is like an official transcript TRCN uses to tell QTS that you have been a good professional teacher since you joined them, this means you must join TRCN first and also be an active member for you to qualify for the LOPS. How do you join TRCN? Write the TRCN Professional Qualification Exam and pass, then get your TRCN certificate. How do you continue being a member of the TRCN? Apply for the TRCN license after you have gotten the TRCN certificate and keep your annual dues paid up to date. How do you get the TRCN LOPS? Get your TRCN certificate, get your TRCN licence, apply to QTS and get your reference number, then apply to TRCN to send the LOPS to QTS. The implication of all these is that you cannot get the LOPS lest you have been inducted to the TRCN, you have been licensed and you are not owing the annual due. I am not sure of this, but I think TRCN has a provision for people who didn’t have a degree or diploma in Education but they need the TRCN certifications. All the best in your endeavours.
