PORTUGAL CROWNED CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE
All hail the new crown king of Europe!.Portugal came from behind as underdogs of the championship to spoil the party for France on home soil,denying them their third European title and clinching their first ever European championship all thanks to Eder extra time powerful strike.
Eder celebrating after scoring |
This feat was achieved without their captain and talisman Cristiano Ronaldo who was forced out of the game in the first half with a knee injury.France has won the 10 previous meeting between them and Portugal, that makes this win even more memorable for the boys from LISBON.
The game had earlier been billed as a battle between Antoine Greizmann and Ronaldo but the battle ended for Ronaldo after a robust tackle from Dimitri Payet forced him out of play.Ronaldo in tears was stretchered out of the pitch.
Ronaldo was out of the game but the fans couldnt stop chanting his name.With Ronaldo out of the contest,Portugal needed another hero and that hero was found in the goalkeeper Rui Patricio who throughout the game was very consistent in thwarting france.He made alot of saves,saving a couple of fierce shots from Sissoko,who was outstanding throughout the game for france.
Twelve years ago Ronaldo featured in the final of the championship hosted by country at the age of 18years making him the youngest player ever to feature in the finals,that same match made him shade tears as they lost to Greece on home soil.The win is the crowning moment of his career as an international player.
France came into the game as the favorites given the arrays of star they parade and their form so far in the championship.Also giving them an edge over Portugal is the home advantage,with the full support of their teeming fans inside the stade de france.But Portugal fought hard against all odds to earn the win.
Portugal will forever be grateful for that powerful late strike from Eder that handed them the trophy for the first time ever.

JAMB LATEST ADMISSION MODALITIES
As was announced earlier on Plus-One school portal on www.jamb.gov.ng,the joint admission and matriculation board has finally released the modalities for this years admission process,in 0ther word, the method of admission.We would like to educate the jambites and other DE candidates on how it is done.
This new method uses a point system that is very easy to understand,the whole process is divided into main points as follows:
1.Before a candidate can seat to be considered for the screening,he/she must have been given a provisional admission by jamb.The Jamb admission checker portal is going to be opened soon for this process ,so all you need now is divine intervention
2.THE POINT SYSTEM:
This is the most critical part of the process.
Jamb provisional admission no longer makes much sense this year,your points tally will determine your faith.The points are evenly spread out between your O Level and Jamb results to provide a level playing field for all.
In the first case,any candidate who submits only one result which contains his/her relevant subjects already has 10points,the exam could be NECO,WAEC,GCE e.t.c,but any candidate who has 2 sittings only gets 2points.So this implies that aspirants with only one result are at advantage but only just.
The next point grades fall into Olevel grades.Each grade has its equivalent point,A=6,B=4,C=3 marks,so the better your grades the higher your chances .
The next point is UTME scores.Each score range has its equivalent point which can be summarized thus,180-200=20-23marks,200-250=24-33marks,251-300=34-43,300-400=44-60marks.Each categories contains 5 jamb results per point added ,for example candidate with 180-185 gets 20points, a candidate with 186-190 gets 21 points e.t.c.
Points system for DE will be released soon.
3.It then comes down to the fact that fees will still be paid for screening,it depends on the school as well.
4.Catchment and ELDS will still be used .Merit contains 45% of the total candidates for a particular course,catchment contains 35% and ELDS and staff lists contains the rest.
5.Cutoff marks will be released by schools this year in the form of points and not marks.If a school declares its cutoff point mark for medicine as 90points and jamb grants a candidate with 250 a provisional admission but his/her total points falls short of the 90 points,then he/she will lose the admission.so provisional admission is just a step forward to the end and not actually a guarantee for admission.
check the link to download the modalities for screening in all universities www.jamb.gov.ng.
Thank you and Good luck!
