Thank you bro. I wrote in Lagos. My centre was in Surulere, I hear there are specific WAEC offices you can collect the certificate depending on your GCE centre. Any idea would be appreciated.

EducationRe: Can I Still Continue With This CGP Or Do I Give Up On Education? by Bifrost: 10:30am On Sep 21, 2016
Option one:

Speaking from experience, I'll advice you start over.
I as an individual had a similar experience. After about 3years in a particular course which I actually did love, I cumulated a CGPA of 2.73 (as at 3rd year, for a 5year programme). I never wanted a 2'2 and from all indications, that was where my final CGPA was tending to plus my extra year due to a failed prerequisite.
I had to change my course of study through the change of degree programme which was advertised by the school. I bought the form, applied in a new department and started from year one. I'm now in final year with a current CGPA way above 4.5 on a 5 point scale. It's not always about how far, but how well.
Making the BEST out of every discipline is key rather than settling for mediocrity in the name of "paper qualifications doesn't guarantee you success". Such myth... The likes of Okonjo-Iweala, Charles Soludo, were not mediocres in there field of study.

In summary, I'll strongly advice you start over if among your Carry overs there is a prerequisite which earns you an extra year. You've got nothing to loose. You'd be happy with your self on the long run.

Option two:

If for financial reasons you feel you can't begin again, then you know you have to work extra hard.
You have to clear up the carry overs ASAP with nothing less than a B grade. And every other course you would take in subsequent semesters.
I know of a friend who got admitted to study Microbiology but spent his first year preparing for and writing Jamb in search of Medicine. He never got the medicine. His first semester results were jeopardised and he had 1.86 as cumulative after first year.
I won't state his subsequent GPA (which he showed to me) here to avoid being called "Lai" but he graduated from microbiology in later years with a very high 2'1 (4.21 to be precise).


However, the choice is still yours, we can only advice.
Option one is as good as option two depending on the factors at your disposal.

Good luck in your endeavours.
Thanks.
EducationRe: A Federal University Where Over 99% Of The Admitted Students Are From 1 Tribe. by Bifrost: 9:22am On Sep 21, 2016
Clearly the OP is an incorrigible LIAR! And a clueless TRIBALIST!

First off, I'm final year student of the institution UNN.

The list which you claim is 99% indigenous is a clueless and hatefully concocted exaggerated lie.

Just so you know. Indigens of the resident state of the University (which is Enugu) over the years have the highest cutoff mark along side states like Imo, Anambra and sometimes Abia. While regions regarded as the ELDs are often have much lower cutoff marks. That said.

Have you gone through the demographics of those who applied and chose UNN?

Not just choosing UNN, but also scoring 200 and above, which is the cutoff mark stated by the University.

Do you expect the University to grant admission to candidates who didn't put the University as a choice institution?

Answer: NO

Let me sound it to the OP, and any other clueless individual that would come here to rant. The UNN merit list, is the most genuine merit admission list all over the country. It is STRICTLY based on merit. Subsequent admission list may resort to quota (for low scoring individuals from ELDs) to diversify the student community.

The bitter truth (not even bitter to me though) is that, people of the Yoruba and Hausa ethnic groups do not like to travel farther than their geopolitical zones to study like the Igbos do. Of course you all know that you must find Igbo students in every University of every geopolitical zones in the country.

To all the tribalistic wailers. Lemme tell you something;

UNN admits visually impaired students, and these students live in hostel, many of them not even Igbos. Mostly Yorubas. And guess who assist them in recording notes and taking them to lectures and stuffs?

Igbos! (The same people you tag Intolerant)

Come to UNN post graduate school and see the numerous number of post graduate students from the north. Don't just come to NL to instigate tribal social media war.

To the clueless Op.

PoliticsRe: Buhari's Speech At The 71st UN General Assembly (Full Text) by Bifrost: 8:54am On Sep 21, 2016
I wonder how some individuals after seeing the state which Buhari has put us in still blow the vuvuzela in praise of him.

The greatest stupidity this government has shown in the past year is by keeping on, blaming the past administration for every thing.

All the promises which comprised their campaign were never kept. Nigerians are deceived every general elections. Worst is, a good number of Youth come on social media to display ethnic and partisan bigotry.

Sometimes I wonder if there is hope for this country NIGERIA. With an enormous population of tribalistic and educated "illiterate" youths.

Nigeria's problem isn't spiritual, and it isn't really corruption. We don't just have people with vision for the country. We probably won't be aany different from now in a 100years time if things remain like this.

I'll stop here.

A concerned Nigerian.
EducationRe: Proliferation Of First Class Degrees In Private Varsities The PUNCH by Bifrost: 9:33am On Apr 09, 2016
Hmm. Nigerians would be Nigerians.
When I was younger, (I think during my junior WAEC days) I was reading this current affairs booklet and I got to the page where they had the list of tertiary institutions in the country, and like every other Nigerian my eyes went straight to the list of federal institution and I love a particular one (name withheld). I had loved it just for the NAME, the past glory it enjoyed. Although my choices were limited especially as regards cost, but where I'm I driving at?
I ended up in a federal university! And I regret everyday of my life - though mildly. I have a very high CGPA, but is that what really matters?
All I ever knew from my chosen course of study are not the product of my lecturers, never! They were all from my own personal readings and research. Our education system is in shambles. Please, my federal university brothers, let's face the fact, we need a total reformation. Our lecturers are not doing their best, most of our faculties are not only understaffed but they are short-staffed. The so-called professors are unwilling to train the younger academics leaving our departments and faculties to be saturated with MSc and BSc holders (who we call Graduate assistants).
Is it the state of hostels, the mighty library infrastructures with dusty brown books resembling books for magical spells?
We shouldn't underrate our colleagues from Private Universities, if I had the money I surely would be in a private uni and if I had even more, I'll be in the UK.
Our education standards have fallen over the decade and quite frankly private universities (though not all) have come to rescue this fallen standards and the earlier we wake up to this fact, the better for us. Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth are all private Universities in the USA and are among the best in the world and are amongst the ost expensive too (with a very low % intake between 6-7%). Let us fight for quality education rather than spewing balderdash about graduating from a private or a public university.
N.B. The curricula in all Nigerian Universities are the same (regulated by NUC).
Of the greatest Nigerian student!
