am not getting any error message but rather the verification mail that was supposed to be sensitive me in other to continue the profile creation was not been sent after hours of refreshing my inbox

Are you using your gmail? Some people couldn't use it, so you could go for yahoo mail.

AyarmBoye:
what is dis one saying... Because you were fortunate to correct someone doesn't warrant degradation... I hope you scatter ur own parts with thought...

Really? Where did I degrade anybody for Christ's sake? Oh, you are concerned because I used the word "scatter". It's an exaggeration, you hear. I didn't mean to literally scatter. Now, any other accusation? Wait, how did you even skip where I wished the fellow good luck? Would I wish someone I just degraded good luck? Maybe I need to check the meaning of the word.

JohnXcel:
No not this year. I await more details as you've said, tonight.

I'll try my best.

Olril18:
alliteration,metonymy.

Why is number one not assonance (check the vowel sounds) nor personification (is "Sorrow" a living thing)?

JohnXcel:
That'd be awesome!

I'm in a small dilemma on what to pick from History, Economics and CRS amongst others to complete the five

Pray tell, what's the minimum number of subjects one can register and sit for for GCE O level?

I strongly advice you go for CRS. It's an arts subject. Commercial students offering CRS are just wasting their time.
You can also choose History if you want, but are you sure you can handle it? Most schools don't offer History, you know.
You have to sit for at least eight ( subject minimum in GCE.
I perceive something. Hope you're not depending on

BadBullet:
correction taken

To even think I'm no more a commercial student, I could have scattered this thread with thought-provoking questions. Anyway, good luck, fellow Jambite.

NevetsIbot:
very wrong.
The answer is A

Its obvious you both have been depending on series.

Lol

Like I said, I ain't good in Government. And the correct isn't to applaud anyone for giving the correct answer. More like an admiration. You know, people who are good in Government.

JohnXcel:
Nice thread. What I want to know is; as an aspiring BA English graduate, what subjects apart from English, Lit. in English, Math., History and Economics does one need in GCE O Level and UTME?

Or are the above subjects enough?

You'd need five credit, As follows:

Maths
English
Literature
At least one art subject e.g. CRS, Government, etc.

Can you wait till tonight when I'd be able to check in detail for you? By the way, I'm an English (BA) aspirant, too.

cleggboy:
Please can I use economics in liue of geography to study international studies and diplomacy at Uniben?

I have registered, so I have the complete and up-to-date brochure. But I wouldn't be able to help you check until tonight. Can you wait?

Correct. Meanwhile, I'm not good in Government. So, you two could help out in that area by asking questions here. I'm not offering it in UTME, though.
But literature is my area of concentration.

About number one, have you thought about the possibility of the answer being:
i) assonance: check the vowel sounds in the sentence. ii) personification: is "Sorrow" a human being or a living thing.

As of yesterday creating of jamb profile is not going through as the verification mail wet not being sent.
Just want to know if it has started going through.

What error message were you getting?
By the way, you can download the Jamb Registration app from playstore and create your profile with it. After you buy your pin from the bank, you can go ahead to register your details (i.e. choice of institution, etc.) so that you would just go for thumbprint and passport capture at a CBT center.
Note: only connect the jamb app with an etisalat sim. Any other sim and you'd be sorry.

Hi Arts Jambite,

A couple of minutes ago, I saw a similar thread on frontpage for commercial jambites, as for science jambites too a few hours ago.

We all know that we arts student play with words to manipulate feeling and atmosphere. Can we do that now?

So, for a start, here's a demo literature in English question:

"Seven days without food makes one weak." What literary device is the previous sentence?
A) Synedoche.
B) Onomatopoeia.
C) Pun.
D) Bathos.

We arts jambites refuse to be intimidated.

Hey please, you dont criticize when you tell people the truth, and by the way you are even the one criticizing here ooo...
I'm so founded on the fact that the indoctrination of tithe payment by majority of men of God is not biblical, Tithe is never a doctrine.
I fellowship with DEEPER LIFE BIBLE CHURCH, but I'm never gullible, why? because I spare my personal time to study and balance up the scriptures, I give to the poor, I wash the disciples' feet, those were what Christ Commanded in His Word.
Thanks!!!

Do you know that Kumuyi preaches tithing, too? I'm a member, so I know. But I don't agree with him. I even told one of my youth leaders that tithing is one of the things that will make older leaders use wheelbarrow ferry me out of church.

delishpot:
Because I let him out in the cold or what?

Don't mind that person jare. I'm sure he can see the clearer picture above. Even if it's not yours, then what? Must every dog picture be taken inside the sitting room?

Nope.

#DogChronicles #Day15

I returned home one fateful day to meet an urgent message from one of my clients. Apparently, said client had sent "his boy" to my house severally while I was away, all in a bid to inform me that there was an emergency with one of his dogs.

I hurried to his house, which thankfully was nearby only to find out that the youngest dog- Bruno (a puppy of about 11 weeks) had suffered a large injury to his head. I was dismayed!

Let me give a little background story here. This client had six other dogs- three of which were Lhasa Apsos, one an Alsatian, another a Caucasian and finally a Alsatian/local mix. His Caucasian was a really big and aggressive male that was frequently used for stud services. My client preferred to be paid with a male puppy (instead of cash) after a successful mating.

It so happened that when Bruno was delivered, it turned out he was NOT at all a Caucasian breed. My client felt ripped off but accepted the dog anyway.

The first time I saw Bruno, he was barely 6 weeks. I noticed he hadn't been properly introduced to the other dogs and as a result he was being bullied and attacked by them. I expressed my concerns to the handlers and the owner but they were still bitter. He wasn't what they expected. "He was a local dog", they said.

Somehow, I believed the other dogs sensed this animosity towards Bruno. It was evident in the way they attacked him; oftentimes, he was left alone in a corner looking sad, while the others could almost always be seen playing together. I felt for little Bruno. He was unloved and he knew it.

Fast forward to that fateful day. I found out that one of the older dogs had attacked him as i had feared. I did the best I could and stitched him up. I also cautioned his handlers to keep him indoors for the time being.

When I went for his follow up treatment the next day, Bruno was dead. His handlers had woken up to find Bruno eviserated. Oh! How I mourned Bruno! My one regret? I should have adopted him.

Why do I feel like the owner(s) killed the dog themselves? If they don't love the dog, they could sell him out. I'm really sad to read today's chronicle. Really sad.

And doc, why do you blame yourself for not adopting the dog? You can't adopt every dog, you know. And again, they might not release him to you. Just sayin'.

drgbaks:
Hello Abra4real,

You can! {Meaning it is practically possible to do so}.But I would advise you not to.

Why is it advisable not to breed your dog with a GSD?

1. There are different categories of dog based on body size. A GSD is a large breed of dog while yours is a small to medium breed. What usually happens is that when a small/ medium-sized dog gets pregnant, because of the bigger breed that mated her, her foetuses sizes are usually unknown. The puppies, might not necessarily be large but could have heads too large for the female dog to give birth to naturally. This can cause difficult labour, unnecessary strain/stress and inadvertently the death of your female if she is not handled properly.

2. Because you are a responsible dog owner.

Thank you very much. looking forward to the next Dog Chronicles episode.
