My former gf..
Told me she got a 5pm lecture earlier in d day, around that 5pm I was strolling with my guys towards the s.u.b when I saw her & a dude chattering and laughing, both sitting on a pew close to d s.u.b. I hide myself somewhere, then called her, she was like, 'steve call me bk in an hour time, lecture is on'...first time in abt 3months she will call me by my name..I was like, wtf....text her, said, look up babe am I'm waving right to u nd her partner at the other end.....the moment she looked up, she opened her mouth, thus I wave...choi, that was d end, despite much pleadings.

hahaha e no easy

My room mate was lying beside me in the hostel wen a call came in.
he picked and told the person on the other end that he was in lectures now...

mehn I went agog!

Where are the children of the north??

Its no news that the most troubled part of this dear country is the north east...
The acts of insurgency has in one way or the other affected you as a northerner..
Let's share with each other how it has affected us, console ourselves as we keep looking unto God for a lasting remedy.
All other northerners are welcomed too...


Mine: I school at Federal university of technology yola, a few kilometers away from the town BH has reportedly captured.
I must confess, things are uneasy here in school. Students have been affected psychologically and emotionally.
A pal of mine in 300Level said he would return to his state and take Jamb once more. Isn't that pathetic?
I urge us all to keep praying for the country, and to my southern and eastern brothers, don't say its not your business" It is because if BH conquers the north today, the south and east will be the next targets.
BH can be contained if we unite covalently.

Which of them will u take assuming u are a coach that wants to purchase a player??

Is there anyone here, for one reason or the other that regrets going to study MEDICINE

Abuklaw:
You've spoken well bro suraj. I at times enlighten people on how they can build career that is clearly distinct from what they have in their first degree. ICT has made everything easy, it is not a must to be computer science graduate before venturing into any area of it. likewise do one need not to study business administration or related courses before bagging MBA after first degree. We are in the informational age not the industrial age. so wise up dudes.

pick CCNA,ORACLE,COMPTIA and others and stand a chance of working with multinational companies irrespective of what you studied in your first degree.

Pls wat is CCNA ORACLE COMPTIA??

I can relate to both engineering and medicine because I actually studied engineering and attempted studying medicine. From my vantage point of view and experience so far, I'll go on to point out the points of both fields.

Medicine: as a medical doctor you would probably never need to look for a job upon graduation, or even if looking for one you won't find it difficult to find one. You will be above averagely paid, drive a decent car, live in a decent house, be respected all your life by other people, and spend all your lifetime dedicated to reading volumes of textbooks to stay updated on recent advancements and methods in medicine, latest releases and bans in medicines and pharmaceutical procedures, and also be dedicated to patients all your life. Nothing extra or spectacular about the life of a medical doctor. Medicine used to be among the well-paying occupations of the times of our parents when they were growing up(1950s to 1980s), however now there are several other well-paying jobs that outpay Medicine in salary and benefits. Many people go into medicine for wrong reasons such as the respect that comes with being a medical doctor or the financial comfort the profession offers which has been overhyped by many people. To study medicine one needs to be compassionate and humane with human beings. I have a cousin who studied medicine and graduated in 2012. This guy is brilliant and really had mathematics, further mathematics and thorough complex analytical skills. He aced A1s in all science subjects of his in WAEC, including further mathematics and English and Mathematics. He actually wanted to study engineering but because of his intelligence his parents adviced him to study Medicine instead as they felt his level of intelligence deserved a course like medicine. In addition, he also had his own personal ambition - to become wealthy and he felt that studying medicine would make him rich. He got admission to study medicine and surgery in 2006. Fast forward to 2011/2012, my cousin was full of regrets for studying medicine. That engineering part of him never left him as he still held on to his mathematics and further mathematics textbooks which he would bring out every now and then to solve complex problems and derive formulae and proofs. He also realized that his intention of being rich did not fully match with the field he was studying. Note, I mentioned rich and not averagely comfortable financially. He was full of regrets for not studying engineering as he had earlier wanted to. His interest in medicine waned at about 4th year but he managed to put up appearances and graduate. Now he's on residency and still full of regrets is planning to make some money for business capital, quit medicine and open a mega business proper. He says he is not feeling the medicine profession at all.

My point of this is, if you really want to study medicine, don't study it because you think it will make you rich, for you will be disappointed. Instead study it because of you have a humanitarian nature and its your passion to really care about sick people. For the latter reason, you will find greater satisfaction in the profession. I am mentioning this because I have seen so many people study medicine for the wrong reason only to realize later as they grew older and have regrets about the course. There's nothing as emotionally depressing about having regrets for pursuing a particular career, especially when forced to against your will.

Engineering: the world is becoming more and more technology inclined today and the need for engineers and IT experts are geometrically on the rise. Many engineers working in oil companies or petrochemical inustries today as chemical, petrochemical engineerrs etc, or as IT specialists earn a lot of money, even more than so many doctors. If your aim in life is being rich, and not just averagely comfotable, engineering offers more chances of making it financially and bountifully moreso in lesser time than medicine. The unemployment rate however for engineers in Nigeria is higher than that of medicine but the field is quite rewarding if you actually know your worth, what you are doing and want in life. The unemployment rate for engineers in Nigeria may seem quite higher than that of medical doctors because of the higher number of engineers in Nigeria today than are available number of hiring firms.

How about the flexibility of engineering and engineers and how engineers can work in virtually all sectors of the industry - banking, commerce, oil and gas sector, power sector, IT sector, health sector(every hospital needs an electrical engineer and modern hospitals deploying IT technology need an IT engineer expert), you name it. How about the fact that practising engineering actually gives you time to run another important money-yielding adventure or business on the side?

One of my cousins studied Petroleum engineering at FUTO in 2010, and on completion of his UG studies travelled out for his masters in 2011 for 1 year after which he returned back to Nigeria and today works with Agip Plc Port-harcourt.

Need I talk about the numerous scholarships that abound for engineering students more than Medicine? Agip, Total/Elf, Chevron, Exxon Mobil, Addax, MTN Foundation, Agbami scholarship, NLNG Scholarship and what have you. Most of the scholarships in Nigeria have engineering fields as recepients of their scholarships and some exclude medicine and are limited to only engineering students. I read engineering myself(UNN). In my first year, I won the Exxon Mobil scholarship, in my second year I won the MTN Foundation scholarship of N200,000, both renewable every year till final year. In my fourth year I won the APM Terminals scholarship(N100,000) + 4th Year Industrial training with them, making it a total of 3 scholarships. In 2011, I was invited by Shell Producing Development Company(SPDC) by virtue of my CGPA to their annual Petroleum Engineering Summer School Program where I emerged the overall best of all university students drawn from all over Nigeria in Production Engineering Technology and I was awarded certificates and prizes for my achievement. My GPA on graduation was a very high 2.1, and I did not find any difficulty securing Masters admission with my CGPA which I am currently doing. I have a pending job interview with Shell PDC Nigeria when I am done with school.

Remember, my parents initially wanted me to study medicine but I inisisted on following my dream and passion and diverged into engineering instead and my path graph has been an ever increasing line ever since and I have had not one reason to regret studying engineering.

If your actual life plan is to become financially comfortable/rich, engineering will be the best way for you. Chemical engineering is quite a good course though I would recommend petrochemical/petroleum engineering instead due to the oil producing activities going on in Nigeria today where you stand a good chance of finding employment with your petrochemical engineering degree.

@ bolded
And I just posted only two names, Joel and Osita out of the numerous scholars produced in recent times and they are here ranting about past glory without any proof. They are just being delusional you know? No matter how brilliant you think you are, if you are not given the right environment for encouragement, you cannot perform up to par. Havent you had instances where some of your classmates in secondary school who were considered to be dull entered the university and became 'fire', excelled greatly that people wondered what happened? or vice versa? Einstein was a write off in the university, none of his lecturers ever gave him a chance to succeed but when he found himself in a conducive environment(his lab), the rest became history. To this day we only hear about Einstein, not the professors that taught him. UNN provides that conducive environment for you to study and research and YES it can get better no doubt as is with everything else.

u just encouraged a Unn aspirant..
