Students Protest Closure Of JAMB Portal ‘Before Due Date’

Some secondary school students in Edo State due to enrol for the extermination of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) are protesting against an alleged sudden closure of the JAMB online registration portal before the due date, Channel News reported.

The students staged the protest in Benin City, the capital of the State on Friday.

In their numbers, they complained that the action of examination body would negatively affect their academic careers.

One of the students said: “This protest will not just stop here. We are going to continue until the day the JAMB will be conducted. We are going to disrupt until we are given extension for us to register.

“Some of us here, our forms are online in the CVT centres and these centres are very few in Benin City”.

Another student claimed that they were asked to go and learn a trade, condemning the comment.

She told Channels Television that since 15 of January, the examination board was already short of scratch cards.

But in a swift reaction to the protest the south-south zonal Coordinator of JAMB, Mrs Priscila Ogunsola, dismissed the claims by the students, insisting that JAMB gave enough time for the registration.

She said that JAMB had informed the students that the registration would close on February 5 and explained that some Cyber Cafe owners had thought that they could get access code to register candidates even after the deadline.

“They were hoping to still get that opportunity which never came this time around. That is just the problem,” she said.

More than 50 women have accused Bill Cosby of sexual assault.

One of Bill Cosby's most high-profile accusers is “overly honest” — and came forward years ago, says Dr. Drew Pinsky.

Model Janice Dickinson, one of more than 50 women accusing the fallen funnyman of sexual assault, told Drew on a 2010 “Celebrity Rehab” episode she had been raped by an unnamed “prominent celebrity” in 1982, the reality TV doctor said in a new, explosive declaration supporting Dickinson’s defamation case against Cosby.

“She said she feared to say the name because it would have legal consequences,” the “Loveline” host wrote in a document obtained by the Daily News.

The “blunt and unvarnished” Dickinson is “an honest person,” Drew added in support of the ex-model, whom Cosby has branded a liar.

“In fact, in the entertainment industry Ms. Dickinson has a reputation for being plain spoken and sometimes overly honest,” he wrote.

Drew, who treated Dickinson for her substance abuse, further argued that the former “America's Next Top Model” judge’s battle with addiction had no bearing on her ability to be truthful.

“In my professional opinion, an addict may get clean and sober and become an honest and truthful person,” he testified in the declaration. “I believe that has been the case for Ms. Dickinson.”

Makeup-free Adele spotted on the shopping hunt in Target despite being a multimillionaire

Rolling in the deals: Proving she is still just a girl from Tottenham, Adele was seen going on a very moderately-priced shopping spree in Los Angeles, California, on Thursday

She is one of the world's most successful singers but that does not mean this star is about to splash cash about willy-nilly.

Proving that despite being worth an estimated $75 million she is still just a girl from Tottenham, Adele was seen going on a very moderately-priced shopping spree in Los Angeles, California, on Thursday.

The 27-year-old no doubt has brand everywhere desperate to give her the latest and greatest luxury products but instead she preferred a trip to her local Target and CVS pharmacy.

The Hello hitmaker was seen taking her time perusing the racks of West Hollywood's Target checking out some beauty products.

The star was also on the hunt for something fun for her three-year-old son Angelo and was seen picking up and Incredible Hulk colouring book.

As any person who has stepped into Target knows, while you may go in for one thing it can be quite a shopping vortex.

Despite her fame, Adele was not surrounded in helpers and pushed her own trolley up and down the aisles for some time.

While an eagle eye photographer obviously spotted the star, most of Adele's fellow shoppers were oblivious to the mega star they had in their midst.

The famous red head left the usual fancy clothing of celebs at home in favour of something a little more down to earth.

Perhaps wanting just to be comfy and cosy after her glamorous Grammys appearance on Monday, the English star headed out in a pair of loose fit black harem pants and a baggy black T-shirt.

The star left her porcelain skin free of makeup and her red locks fell unstyled to her collar with the front pushed out of her face by a pair of sunglasses.

Somehow not finding everything she needed, the songstress then headed to the nearby CVS where this time she was escorted around by her big burly bodyguard.

This week has been a big one for the singer, having performed at the Grammys and also appearing on Ellen.

The 27-year-old's performance at the awards was not what many have come to expect from the talented Brit.

First a sound glitch meant many could not hear the star as she sang All I Ask and the bits fans could hear, were a bit 

lacklustre.

Adele confessed to Ellen DeGeneres that she was devastated over what happened. 

'I cried pretty much all day yesterday,' the 27-year-old singer told Ellen on Wednesday.

'I don't feel like it could go that much worse than the Grammys though. So I feel like I'm alright now. Anything that happens, dust it off!' 

She immediately knew something was wrong, noting: 'I heard it straight away. And I wanted to turn, I knew what it was because in rehearsal on Saturday they were like we’re going to double mic the piano just in case one doesn’t work. 

'And I knew where the mic was and I wanted to turn around and lift it up, but I froze.'

The Hello singer said she felt 'so embarrassed' afterwards, but will be ready next time a mishap occurs during a live performance.

'Next time I have any sound issues I am gonna stop. I'll be like, sorry that's not working for me. If we have time to do it again, let’s do it. Otherwise, bye!'
