@19 in 400l and you're feeling yourself? Bros calm down. we know all u did in that theatre was to watch from a distance cos this is obviously an introductory surgery posting. Have u started pathology and pharmacology?

Try usmanu danfodiyo university, Sokoto. Cut off point for medicine for next admissions is 270. Udus medicine is at par with the likes U.I and co. Ask any senior doctor around you. Thank me later.

@ the bolden: Did u say competitive? I guess competitive now has a new meani

mtschee...w

iamvictorbassey:


I can be so sure because I graduated from their model secondary school. So calm down when I tell you what I know and not what I think.

sorry for your friend's experience. if u live in Sokoto, Kindly come to the college of health of sciences in uduth n I'll personally disprove your point. medicine in udusok has been very competitive in recent years with merit cut off points between 270-280 though a little lower for indigenes of Sokoto, kebbi and zamfara states.

iamvictorbassey:

Studying Medicine? Not vet medicine?

yes sir, 5th year. the admission process in udusok is quite fair.

iamvictorbassey:
Which f.u.cking UDUSOK? I would not attend that school if I was on monthly stipend. Usmanu Danfodiyo will never give a non indigene medicine. If they do I give you 5 Grand monthly till you graduate.

Your best bet is Vet Medicine. My classmate was the best graduating student in our time from the secondary school of the same Usmanu Danfodiyo and was not given Medicine because he was an Igbo boy.
Don't waste your time o

the only reason he'll not be given medicine in udusok is because he didn't make the 280 cut off point for medicine sir. we have a good number of Igbo guys here both as students n lecturers. I'm a non-indigene by the way.

medicine is worth the stress op. however, we can't all be doctors. Try something else after 2-3 unsuccessful attempt. Doctors are still very much valued up north. As medical student in almost all northern States, you start receiving monthly stipends from your state govt right from your fourth year in school. so house job placement and/or employment is never a problem.

Decryptor:
Southern Kaduna people wey hate Igbos like anything! I don't pity those people one bit!

Abeg NEXT!!

This is 2019 bro/sis. you should have dropped this nonsense in 2018. it's obvious that u know nothing about southern kaduna

2018 was a year full of tragedies for my Adara people. May 2019 be different o God. Amen

School fees in Usman danfodio university is based on department. departments like med n surgery, pharmacy, med lab, radiography n nursing science pay BTW 53k to 57k (accommodation not inclusive). other departments pay 20k less than the aforementioned Dept's.

congrats to the parents. Hey little cuties welcome to planet earth. nice one doc. Keep making College of health sciences udusok proud.

caasi220:
yes sir, i want to find out more about udus, pls can i have your contact(whatsapp no)....thanks

caasi220:
Good day, any udus medical student here??

yep. any questions?

yep. any questions?

medicine is all about jackings o. u no fit form Mr. gifted sha. cos if u do, u get kicked out. medical students can cram wella especially d preclinical students.

from ur comments it's obvious I was insulted. I still feel gud about it anyways. at least it shows she missed me. can't remember when last the thought of her crossed my mind.

I was shocked to my bones this afternoon when my ex shared a pix of her dog with a caption " Hi people! meet my dog GODDY" on Facebook. my name is Godwin but most people call me Goddy.
what I don't know here is, was she trying to insult me or otherwise? your opinions pls.

Hi, my name is Ola, I am a 23 year old
doctor set to change the face of acute
medical care in West Africa.
I grew up in a household where neither
of my foster parents went to university.
We lived in a small town called
Lowestoft. One of the most influential
people in my life without a doubt was
my foster mother Doreen, who taught me
to aspire to develop myself. I was
extremely inquisitive growing up and
had many questions that she did not
know the answers to, so she bought me
an encyclopaedia so I could look up the
answers to all my questions. She gave me
the tools to learn on my own and helped
me learn the value of first identifying
the problem and then finding the tools to
create a solution.
I owe my subsequent record of academic
excellence to this early education and
support. We were a working class family
and sometimes struggled to make ends
meet, but against all the odds I passed
my A-Levels with flying colours and
started my degree at the University of
York . After supporting myself through
working in retail, modelling and admin,
I graduated 6 years later as one of the
youngest doctors in the entire country.
I immediately set about trying to buttress
my record of excellence by publishing
my first book, various articles in the
British medical journal, and sitting on
boards that governed medical education
and training. I have been privileged to
receive many awards for my work in
research and clinical medicine.
However, after the tragic death of my 12
year old sister, due to the problems of
absence of critical care transport
facilities in Nigeria I started to think
more laterally.
Hotel Rwanda is a feature film about the
Rwandan conflict that tells the story of
Paul Rusesabagina a fictional hotelier.
The most powerful point in the film is
when he highlights the plight of Rwanda
at that point saying;
“There will be no rescue, no intervention
for us. We can only save ourselves. Many
of you know influential people abroad,
you must call these people. You must tell
them what will happen to us… say
goodbye. But when you say goodbye, say
it as if you are reaching through the
phone and holding their hand. Let them
know that if they let go of that hand, you
will die. We must shame them into
sending help. Paul Rusesabagina (Hotel
Rwanda, 2004)”
Every time I saw reports about Nigeria
on the TV or read about them in
magazines, I felt that same sense of
compunction, knowing that I had the
skills and knowledge to make a
difference. I realised my skills as a
doctor and a trainee pilot could perhaps
be better utilised, and I knew that I could
be instrumental in initiating what has
already been quoted as ‘the single most
influential healthcare innovation in
Nigeria this decade’ .
So I spent approximately 9 months
saving half of my salary every month
and immersing myself in books about
management, business and finance. I
went on courses, spoke to various
entrepreneurs and spent many a night
crafting my business plan. I left my job
in August and armed with my business
plan, my start up capital, and my
passion for change, I booked my first
ticket to Nigeria. The reception has been
amazing, from both the private and
public sector, we have secured our
aircraft and our first few sales contracts.
The business is growing at an
unbelievable pace.
At the centre of my plan is the concept of
social enterprise. The Flying Doctors
Nigeria is a profit making company, but
most of our profits go into the Flying
Doctors Foundation which aims to
provide the finance for various projects
in medical education and healthcare
within our partner states.
Nigeria’s international reputation has
been marred by political unrest over the
past decade which has slowed its
commercial development. I am therefore
also setting up an angel investment
group called the Flying Doctors Business
Angels, which will specialise in investing
in business pitched by entrepreneurs
under the age of 35, who were born
outside Nigeria, but are of Nigerian
heritage. I think this represents a highly
influential group of young people
capable of effecting real change in the
country.
Although I miss my friends and family
in England, I haven’t regretted my
decision for a moment. I hope my story
inspires more young people to realise
their potential, to see what is possible
rather than what is not, and to take the
plunge and follow their dreams.

HOW FAR CAN ONE GO WHEN COUNTING NATURAL NUMBERS IN YOUR MOTHER TONGUE BEFORE HE/SHE BEGINS TO INCORPORATE ANOTHER LANGUAGE OR COMPLETELY COME TO A STOP?
Ever wondered how far you can go in counting natural numbers? This was the question I asked myself this evening when my little sister, Trustline Alfred, was learning how to count natural numbers to one hundred. Unfortunately I may say, she could only count to 20 correctly after which she began to skip some numbers. Not too bad for her age though.
With that thought going through my mind, it occurs to me that different languages also have limit to how far one can go in counting natural numbers before one either begins to incorporate another language or even come to a halt. It’s however a fact that natural numbers has no limit. They start from zero (0) to infinity.
In English language for instance, one can count natural numbers from zero (0) to 999,999,999,999,999 (this figure is open for corrections).i.e nine hundred and ninety-nine trillion Nine hundred and ninety-nine billion Nine hundred and ninety-nine million Nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand Nine hundred and ninety-nine. I am sure the igbo guys in the house will add naira to this figure. Beyond this figure people begin to use words like zillion, bazillion etc. It’s important to note that zillion is not a natural number. It is used humorously to describe large numbers.
In hausa language however, one can only count from ‘sifili’ (zero) to ‘dubu dari tara da chasa’in da tara Da dari tara da chasa’in da tara’ (i.e 999,999) beyond which English language is been incorporated. For example, million daya (1,000,000), billion biyu (2,000,000,000).
Coming down to my mother tongue – adara language of the Adara ethnic group in Kaduna state. One can only count from ‘izi’ (i.e one) to ‘atadi abauzi ni ishibauzi ni bauzi’ (i.e 999). Beyond this figure we begin to bring in hausa language and subsequently English language. For example ‘adubu ata’ (i.e 3,000). Dubu is a hausa word.
So guys, how far can one go when counting natural numbers in your mother tongue before he/she begins to incorporate another language or completely come to a stop?

IS THE NORTH REALY NOTHING? A CALL FOR CONCERN TO
NOTHERNERS AND NORTHERN GOVERNORS.
“The north is nothing today…” A northern monarch made this
statement at an award given ceremony that I attended a week ago.
Although he was talking about the lack of unity and division in the
north, I want to give the statement another look.
The Northern part of Nigeria is believed to be left behind in all forms
of development (how true that is I can’t say for now) but I want us to
look at just one sector which is education and from there we can
judge ourselves.
In Nigeria as a whole, we have 31 Medical and Dental Council of
Nigeria (MDCN) recognized medical schools, 27 of which are fully
accredited while 4 have partial accreditation.
Out these 31 medical schools, 15 are federal government owned, 12
owned by state governments and 4 are owned by private sector.
Below is a table showing how these schools are shared to the north:
S/N TOTAL NUMBER NUMBER IN NORTH
Fully accredited FG owned 15 6
Fully accredited state owned 10 0
Fully accredited private owned 2 0
Partially accredited FG owned 0 0
Partially accredited state owned 2 1
Partially accredited private owned 2 1
From the above table, the North has only 8 of the 31 MDCN
recognized medical schools in the country out of which only 6 (all
federal) are fully established and can graduate students at the
moment.
Now the big question: what is the North doing about this?
Very few Northern state governments have taken the bold step to try
establishing such schools in their Universities. The first of which is
Benue State University whose medical school started about 10 years
ago though with some challenges because they are yet to graduate
their first set.
Kaduna State government saw the need for that and so introduced
the faculty of medicine to the state owned university in 2009 but
also facing her own challenges because her most senior classes are
still in preclinical stage (300 level) after 5 years.
A year after Kaduna State University took off the faculty of medicine,
Gombe State University follow suit and today they also have a 300
level ready for clinicals but no accreditation to start. Mind you for
now, only Benue State University out of this 3 is recognized by MDCN
with partial accreditation. That is on the part of government.
Talking about the private sector we have 4 of which only 1 is in the
North (a mission school). Two of the 4 private institutions are owned
by individuals and are the only fully established private medical
schools in the country. This is an indication that not only
government but even concerned and able citizens can do it.
Now, why haven’t we gotten it right for this long? What is it that
other regions have to establish these schools that we don’t? The
answer is determination and commitment.
There is a saying in Hausa “kayan yarda bata nauyi” which implies
the things agreed upon by the mind are never heavy to carry. This is
just medicine; we have others like Law and Engineering.
I will like to halt it here by saying; establishing a medical school is
not easy but it’s worth the sacrifice(s), states that have done it will
testify to that. If Northern governments and Northerners want to do it
and are determined, they can do it.. by MIKESON BANANG

LIFE OF THE ETHNIC MINORITY IN MY NATION: A QUICK LOOK INTO THE ADARA ETHNIC GROUP.
For some time now, the Hausa, Yoruba and igbo ethnic groups are the names mentioned as far as ethnicity in Nigeria is concern. One tend to wonder why a nation that is said to composed of over 250 distinct ethnic groups is so reduced.
We may tend to consider population, political influence, etc of the individual ethnic groups as the basis for streamlining the diverse ethnicity of the most populous black nation of the world into just three. It is unarguably an established fact that in terms of population, political influence, etc., the three aforementioned ethnic groups far outweighed – each ethnic group considered individually- the so-called minorities. This however does not warrant the streamlining of over 250 ethnic groups to three as doing so is denying the existence of the so called minorities who of course constitute a reasonable percentage of the entire population of this great nation.
As someone who is not from the three aforementioned ethnic groups finds it disturbing when even national television and radio stations keep echoing “Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba”. These are institutions that are expected to know too well about Nigeria. In my opinion such acts depicts their ignorance of what truly Nigeria is.
Considering the fact that there are numerous ethnic groups and the aforementioned advantage of the three aforementioned ethnic groups over others, it will be time (when spoken) and space( when written) consuming to start mentioning all over 250 ethnics groups. I therefore suggest that the phrase “hausa, igbo, Yoruba and others” be adopted henceforth.
A QUICK LOOK INTO THE ADARA ETHNIC GROUP.
I know what has been going through the minds of most readers of this thread is “what the Bleep is this one saying?”, “which fucking ethnic group is this one from?”
To address the second possible question, I wish to take to a ride into the adara ethnic group while being as concise as possible.
Introduction / History
The Kadara (also Azuwa, Ada, Adara, Ajuwa,
Azuah, Ajuah) people make up one of the
largest ethnic groups in southern Kaduna, an
area south of the present state of Kaduna in
Nigeria.
Where are they located?
A great number of this ethnic group is found
in the eastern part of Minna, the capital of
Niger State, with a high concentration of
them in the northern part of Abuja, the
capital of Nigeria, with three different
locations: Imesiwaa, Imesiyo, Imesiyaa.
Kadara land covers an extensive area of
about 8,090 square kilometers. There is an
estimated population of about 3.9 million
people according to the 1973 census
(National archives, Kaduna 1977).
Because of the teeming population of this
ethnic group, the Kaduna state government
recently created two new chiefdoms in
Kadara land with Kachia and Kajuru as their
headquarters.
What are their lives like?
The Kadara people are an ethnic group that
enjoys living together in small villages as
their settlements, with the organization of
administration based on the village settling.
They are great farmers and hunters.
Among the common and most stable food
crops grown are Guinea corn, millet, maize,
rice, cotton, groundnuts, tobacco, sugar cane,
ginger, yams, beans and soy beans as the
main cash crops. Another important aspect
of agriculture engaged in by the Kadara is
animals rearing such as cattle, sheep, goats,
pigs and poultry.
The historical origin of this people (Kadara)
in Nigeria has not yet been fully ascertained
and documented, and until that is done, one
can depend only on oral tradition to
understand how they came to occupy their
present territories.
One tradition traces the origin of the Kadara
to the Dala Hills in Kano State. Another oral
tradition maintains that they (especially the
Kadara of Ankuwa) migrated from the area
around the Plateau Hills, west of Plateau
state Nigeria to their present settlement.
Temple, a historian, maintains that little is
known of their origin and history, beyond the
facts that they have inhabited their present
territories from centuries ago, and the
mention of the Beri-Beri invasion and
conquest of Kajuru. (Temple C. L., Notes on
the tribes of the northern Nigeria, London
1962 .179)
One thing interesting about the two traditions
of the history of the Kadara people is that
both trace their origin to the Hills of Dala
and Plateau. It is little wonder then that
areas presently occupied by them are around
the Hills and mountainous regions.
What are their beliefs?
The Kadara people believed in the existence
of a supreme being, creator of the universe.
He could be reached through much lesser
spirits found in the ancestral world, spirits of
certain animals, stones and a host of
impersonal forces. Also living among the
Kadara are adherents to both Christianity and
Islam.
What are their needs?
The Kadara need to be set free from injustice
and rule of evil, because these two prevail
when good people do nothing.
