haileymish:
plus can i use diamond bank?

The bank doesn't really matter. Just supply the details of your Verve or Master Card into the spaces and click 'Pay'.
That's all!

Dannyhonda:

SERIOUSLY ANTICIPATING!!!

olamide1100:
Ook so Avv u been given an hostel now..!?

Most definitely.

olamide1100:
Help I Paid now but I can't Find my hostel there ooo
......Wahh should I doo

Same thing happened to me. Just call the school line and explain everything to them. Although, you have to be very persistent with the calls o.

If you end up with a room at the two extremes, you'll be near the toilet and or public dustbins and if the gutter gets dirty, you and your roommates get the blame.

That's just absurd. It's all good though.
Thank you very much!

Chiamaka01:
It's good, just pray that the electricity issue in that block will be resolved before your arrival.

I pray. Other than that, is there any other thing to know or watch out for?

@lilchris04,

Just sent you an e-mail. Kindly check.

Chiamaka01:
That was my hostel and block, too.

Oh. Your thoughts on it?

Finally, the issue has been resolved. I was given Mentor Hostel, Block A. Thank you all for your supports and suggestions.

uumm:
the problem is definitely from their end.. hopefully, they'll sort it out before tomorrow. Relax

Hopefully o. Keeping my fingers crossed. Thank you very much. Appreciative!

lilchris04:
Just calm down. If you're really worried and can't wait, I suggest that you start packing up and prepare to travel to CDL, Moro. But I suggest that you calm down for now. All is well.

Lol. Na so dem dey take travel? I'm worried, but not up to that extent. Thanks anyways, suggestions very much appreciated.

lilchris04:
What bank?? Tomorrow, go to the nearest branch of the bank and tell them. For now, keep trying CDL HOTMAIL phone number. I always call that number but they never pick up. Also, keep checking your portal. What does it say on your portal?

First Bank o. I used the Verve Card for payment. There's no difference on the portal. I also can't update my profile(dunno if it's like that for everyone), it keeps redirecting to the home page.

uumm:
try logging out and in again.. if the problem persists, call the school authorities asap

Done both several times. The school line is unresponsive. It doesn't go through always. And if does, they don't pick up. Really frustrating!

I really dunno what's happening, but it's annoying. I paid this evening and it brought up some kind of 'transaction error' page. The annoying part is that the account has been debited. Plus, I've also not been allotted into any hostel. Suggestions?

By this time next 2 weeks, most of you- if not all- would have received your first P.D lecture.
Firstly, congrats to you on your admission. I believe my fellow expredites have flooded, and will flood this thread with pieces of advice and necessary bits of information to get you going.
People will tell you to be calm, that all will be well in Moro if you do your best..That's partly true,..
Predegree is basically a refresher of what you've been taught in your secondary schools (at least for first contact)... but ironically,I think this fact is the reason why some people don't perform up to their expectations. One thing you should know now is- P.D takes students from different academic "levels", and brings them all to level zero. If you were the best or the least student in your school in terms of grade, that doesn't count in Moro.
Drop your entrance exam score, drop your SSCE results, and come to Moro like you know nothing.. Everyone is given a fresh start.. it's up to you..
You must be willing to learn.LEARN, LEARN, LEARN...
Moro is not for those that know it very well, but for those that want to know it very well.
As most of you know already, you have 2 tests and 2 exams, but I think most people regard the word "test" as less intense than "exam". Very wrong. Like someone once told me, don't see it as tests and exams. See it as 4 exams in P.D. Every exam matters.. let me explain that last line.. I was a BCP student so I'll speak from that angle..
After the first test, 60% of those who are going medicine would've already taken their positions. After First exam, it rises to 90%.. the best time to run is first contact.
I'm not saying that those who don't perform too well can't get back into the race, they can.. but it's very very rare. It's easier for someone who performed well in first contact to perform badly in the end than for someone who performed not too well in first contact to eventually get up there..
I'll especially urge those Med. aspirants who're fresh secondary school graduates to put in extra effort.. you'll meet people who've stayed home for over 3 years, you might even meet some who have university experience already.. those people will not sit down and watch you displace them from the chosen 15-20 students taken for medicine.. During my set, I heard there were over 1k BCP students... let's assume 800 are going for medicine...that's roughly 2.5% of the Medicine aspirants getting in through P.D...
so if you want to spend your time "enjoying life" , just know that somewhere else in Moro, someone is reading a particular page in his/her biology note that could earn her an extra 1 mark (and trust me, 1 mark is way too much in PD.).

I cannot over emphasize the place of good friends during your stay there... the kind of friends you keep contributes hugely to you success there.

Also, ensure to attend a good fellowship while in school. Have it at the back of your mind that you came to Moro to get your desired place in OAU... but also remember there's a much more desired place after life..

It's only human to be a bit scared after reading this.. but let that fear propel you into action..
Better to be a bit shaky now and get your course of choice in the end... than to be calm now, and shaky at the end of P.D.


On a personal note : ensure to help others out with stuff (like studies) if they need help.. it takes away NOTHING from you..
Goodluck.

This is by far, the most inspirational thing I ever read!

Personally, I'm a calm and conservative person, but seeing as we stay in Nigeria, it can be mistaken for being dumb and/or stupid. Now, there are certain situations that demand you 'unleash the beast within', so to speak, and I'm not sure how far to go, so, I still remain calm. How do you wonderful people deal with such situations?
