When a couple of years ago JAMB introduced online registration for its then UME examination, a lot of Nigerians were happy. This was because JAMB online registration made it easy and convenient to register for JAMB examinations. That is why we think that the requirement by JAMB from 2012 that UTME registration can only be done at accredited centres is unfortunate.

With all the buzz about the new 3G service from Etisalat called easyblaze, I decided to put it to the test, to experience things for myself. easyblaze is Etisalat's 3G service that advertises internet speed of up to 42Mbps.

I was expecting the internet speed to blow me away, but it didn't.
Do not get me wrong, the speed of Etisalat easyblaze was fast enough for...
