Fourwinds: dose of u who are still not convinced shiukd pls try OAU. I was dere I knew what I saw. dat challenge has built me in every aspect of life. sometimes it reminds me of d 300 spartans. white house my beloved house

Bro, I wanna transfer to OAU next year. Is that possible I school at futyola.

davno: You sound biased about doctors. Your knowledge of the medical field cannot be said to be universal knowledge.

You know Ben carson as a renowned neurosurgeon. That's just a minute part of medicine. Ben Carson is also not the richest doctor but he is a great man who by his nature and experience has impacted his field and motivated numerous people around the world.

Ben Carson himself has some other great doctors who motivated him. I guess you have read his works.

There are numerous great doctors. That you don't know them does not change the fact that they are great. I have have seen rich and wonderful Nigerian doctors. I know one that makes at least 10 million naira monthly from his practise here in Nigeria and he is not the richest Nigerian doctor. The richest man in my LGA is a medical doctor. I can go on and on.

We have too many unsung heroes in almost every profession in the world. People who are truly great but not famous. Being great does not necessarily mean being a celebrity.

hmmmm Enlightenment.

davno: Being a doctor, an engineer, an actor, a politician, musician, etc is not what makes a person great.

Greatness is something that you bring into your profession. Can also be developed along the way.

It's about the person and not the profession.

Meanwhile, medicine remains a very noble profession that has both great and "non-great" people in it's fold.

hmmm nice points, looking at Nigeria as a point of view, One hardly find doctors amongst the greatest men we have. Globally I only know of Carson...

Greatness in my own opinion:Being wealthy or financially stable, popular beyond your immediate environment, respected and eulogized by many..

There's this characteristic trait about most Nigerian students-they all want/wanted to be doctors, they see the profession as the easiest and rosiest path to greatness but that axiom is fallacious. the last time I checked, most great men and women in Nigeria,Africa and beyond were not doctors. e.g Nelson Mandela, Chimamanda Ngozi, Wole S, Achebe, Mark Zuckerburg,Omotola Jalade, Genevieve N. etc.

Please don't misunderstand wealth or opulence for greatness, one can be rich but not great.

This thread, I know is controversial but I never intended it to be so, In fact Drs command a great respect from me. This is just to enlighten the common Nigerian student and parent that Medicine/Surgery isn't a sure path to greatness.

Your opinions please.

ABEngine: I did Mechanical Engineering Sir.

cool, me doing ChemEngr.


Any advice for your boy

And ehhn, which school did you gradj?

ABEngine: 1. Friends never mention when the applications were ongoing but will waste no time to publish their locations if you wish to gate crash.
2. Having to suffer the collective fate of being amongst a wrong group during a group interview session.
3. Delaying candidates the entire day, subjecting the to physical and psychological stresses yet expect optimal performance NLNG & NNPC
4. Stampede
5. Job portals making our emails available for SEO marketers and spam mailers at a fee
6. Publishing already filled vacancies for the sake of due process
7. Redundant email links or dead career portals on most companies webpage
8. For the mushroom-like firms with big pay, the gate man doubles as the personnel recruiting officer, if you don't dance to his tune please check the bin
9. Girls run from you like a plague, don't even let em spot your bent heel
10. For indigenous oil companies and few others, its ladies first. Keep that weight appropriately it might just land you the next big job
11. I suffer shaa those years, trying to listen to my lady's heart but she kept paying attention to my purse. Then one day, She left and I paid more attention to the hunt #InAkimbo#

It was fun after all, stories must be told. Be diligent, remain steadfast in prayer and be informed. #ThatsAll

pls what course did you study sir

balamz: Dude I don't think so. If you have something to offer, you CANNOT be unemployed. A pharmacist prescribe drugs and also makes research on drugs. Its a wide occupation bro. As for me its a NO

u studying pharmacy

Just answer and buttress with cogent reasons.Thanks

Oya let's have fun. Just in a single, simple and explicit sentence, describe your school and dept. include the moniker of the school.

As a Nigerian, its certain that there are things that must irritate you, not only food or other edible matter. Some peoples lifestyle can irritate you.
So what are those things that irritate you most In just no particular order.

SMH too many jobless Engineers, and unis still churning out.... #Engr student I be.

phetty: Mechanical engineering

school

wheesin: u dnt need to be thought bro...i bought mine since 2011..i tot myself..just keep playing with it..or better still download YouTube videos on it..u will become a pro

abi thanks

Harmonicists in the house, I just bought mine today, I need experts to teach me how to play it, i'm sure I won't be the only one to benefit from this... Teach me the basics pls, BTW the instrument is also known as "mouth organ"

Champella: I've been observing your posts on so many threads. I've noticed that you worry too much over so many things. Well, there is no crime in trying to find out if you're making a good decision or not because so many people are scared of making mistakes which will affect them later

I'll advise you worry less and concentrate more on graduating with a very good result (a 2nd Class Upper from 4.0 or a 1st Class).

Chemical Engineering is a very good discipline and so many people would give up so many things just to be in your shoes. Don't ever let anybody make you feel that you "must" be a graduate of any of the top 10 Universities in Nigeria before you can make it in life

As long as any course is accredited in any Nigerian University you're good to go. Forget about the rankings of schools as those rankings exist as people's opinion at a particular time.

Think of the lives you can affect positively as an Undergraduate and when you'll be a Graduate. Add more value to yourself daily and success will definitely come your way.

Finally, i'll leave you with these few words to ponder on. . .

"If you do the same thing as everyone does, you'll be as good as everyone is. To excel, you have to exceed your limits"

I wish you the very best!

Thank you very much brother, for ur concern, thank u

taiwolusol: For too many reasons, I LOVE GATHERINGS LIKE THIS.

Nigeria: Over time we get to see lists of ranking for universities across the country. I always had that intrinsic pride that I was attending one of Nigeria's best schools until I saw the latest rankings where they placed my school at 69, ouch! It kept me cogitating , what are their basis in determining the best uni
Is it academically inclined or they look at structures ( buildings)?
how does it affect one's employability in the labour market?

Pato5: bro chill

Pato5: bro they may not be the best but above par.

Pato5: bro Engr. in mautech is fun n stressful.

Futy isn't blessed with so much social activities, more of JacKing.
what matters is that u ought to LIKE ur course, as for me engineering is my life.

Wow, So is Mautech competent enough in
teaching Engineering? I mean do we have witty
lecturers and sufficient materials for imparting
Knowledge?
The last time I went to futy, it was obvious that
we not too social. its evident even on
Nairaland. one hardly sees futy students.
