onila: Nigga with game!

ijebabe: ^^ As a fellow DJ you'd notice that

acidtalk: While growing up, people especially little children and men used to die alot.
either through one form of sickness to another which most hospitals never Knew the cause.

I was determined to be a doctor TO be able to save lives.

to cut a long story short, due to the magomago in the admission process in Universities, they tried to kill my dream of becoming a doctor but i never gave up.

Went to study the course under one of the best in Nigeria.

Today i am A PROUD NATIVE DOCTOR!!!

bluejeff: Wanted to be a doctor but i hated (& still hate) maths, and so in s.s 1, i was thrown into art class. That meant no more medicine, thought of something else but there was none except law.(especially with the influence of dad) I went for it, and just when it was my turn to get into uni, post u.m.e was introduced in 2005. Unical made me sat at home for 2yrs, eventhough i made the cut of mark for JAMB. I had to opt for a private uni to for law. But now, am thinking i shld have read something else.

blue face: between 2face and D'banj who charges more when it comes to live concert and live performances for events,red carpet and every other shows

AjanleKoko: It's not about the person. It's the profession. Very few engineers have the privilege of career satisfaction in Nigeria.

Saint Chukz: You are still just in 100level and what u r currently doing there is still basic science and not mainstream engineering yet, so how would you know if its d best course ever or not. Best of luck 2 u though in your future endeavours.

Tunby: I dreaded calculation subjects like Math,Furthermaths and Physics in secondary school, so I applied for Medicine.Unfortunately for my poor soul after escaping Maths in the UME exam, the kind of questions set in the postjamb was serious calculus and GMAT kind of English though I'd read or is it 'crammed' Chemistry and Biology.Needless to say that I FAILED with crawling colours.I then decided to face my fears, wrote another WAEC to make my Further maths and applied to Unilag,Lagos(Reason? so I can easily "runs" other things alongside) to study Computer Engineering.Today, I'm a 1st class undergraduate of thesame course,Unilag.About Maths? Now peice of cake.

Mbuko91: haba! Nawa for u.....na me be olodo ne?

Lujan: Money...I was a promising science student & wanted to study medicine bt my sweet parents aren't bouyant enough to bear d "expenses" & upon their candid advise, I switched to arts class in my SS2 with d hope of studying Law. When I bought my JAMB form, I filled Law as first choice & Eng. Lit as 2nd choice with EBSU as my 1st & 2nd choice of institution (because my parents cant "pay" if I study outside my town). Fortunately my name came out on the merit list of both Law & English, but because "money no dey" my parents advised me to go for d latter. I'm now a learned final yr student of English Lang. & Lit., courtesy of Jah's grace.

abdurrazaq: My choice of course was determined by the choice of University.
My ambition was to study Architecture in OAU but, couldn‘t go to a far distance due to the death of my sister-in-law in 2005 after she left a new born baby (also died last year) for my aging mother to raise. I had to forgone my architecture in OAU and help her in raising the boy.
I had to settle for Quantity Surveying in the nearby UNILAG since I didn‘t do neither Technical Drawing nor Fine Art that is required for Architecture in UNILAG in my WASSCE. Second year into the programme and I‘m hopeful of a brighter future.

Danka7777: O boy, how you dey?

AjanleKoko: If you just started, and you are working as an engineer in Nigeria, it will soon become clear to you.

AjanleKoko: A plethora of reasons:
1. I'd have preferred to spend 4 years in school, as opposed to 5.
2. I'd have preferred NOT to have a masters degree in electrical engineering. My decision to do the postgraduate was borne out of uncertainty. We graduated, and nobody really knew what was coming next, so I opted to do a masters degree.
3. I'd have preferred to pursue a career in finance or actuarial science instead of a career in engineering. Engineering is boring. If I had studied math or physics, I wouldn't have felt 'tied' to an engineering career. Engineers in Nigeria are all trying to get jobs in oil companies. That's ridiculous.

Danka7777: What people fail to understand is engineers can work as accountant and other art fields because we have solid math background than art graduates...accountants, economists; though economics is very indepth. All we need is a little brush up in accounting principles and we will be doing pretty well.

A notable engineer who was a great banker was former CEO of BANK PHB, Francis Atuche. He has a degree in petroleum engineering with first class honors. And they are many engineering graduates I know that are Bank managers...

Danka7777: Yes o!

Mbuko91: im sowi,i fink he meant,were dey nt taught using english language...nt 'werent u tot english?' i initially misundstud too...buh he's cowect

amefi: I didnt hv money to go to higher institution so i got enlisted in Boko Harem confraternity after my secondary education. No regrets.

CHESSBOARD: Guuyy, You have murdered ENGLISH Here, yet you r asking

The question should have been weren't they, if you actually know English , i don fall ur hand

Damojo: Mine is quite different. Studied pharmacy cos I wanted to be in the Medical field and couldn't stand the sight of blood (so I couldn't study Medicine). Parents have been supportive cos when I even switched to banking and now to Oil n Gas, they remained happy. It's not abt wot u studied in school but how vibrant u r to be able to blend in in2 any field.

Billyonaire: Biochem is a great course. You belong to petrochemicals, find your way in. You wont regret

Dreamflyin: Alwys wntd 2 fly. Tried NDA against my parents wish, passd d exams but disqualified durin medicals due 2 my eyes ( shortsighted ). My parents den thought dat dey'v won. Compelld me 2 take poly jamb since jamb forms av long bin sold out. I went 4 mech engin, since i've always likd 2 knw hw tins work n get greasy, unfortunatly d cyber attendant put me in 4 EE eng wen fillin up d form. I didnt bother though, cos i've stil got my eyes on flyin. Did mo OND in EE eng at IMT. Parents wish done. Nw my tin, currently trainin as a pilot in south africa, wat my heart reali yearns 4. No regret so far. Helleluyah!!!!!
