Bro, I think that was a senseless and myopic assertion. However, your institution does not really speak volume of how brilliant you are

You can be a student of Unilag and be as dumb as a sheep and vice versa. Studying in a renowned institution does not necessarily mean you are academically better than the students studying in unpopular/unknown institutions

*Self development is all that matters in life*
Fact

(Geniuses are born, not made.)

Who is a Genius? what best qualifies a man to be called a Genius?


Are Geniuses a product of hard work, determination and self enhancements or an expression of inborn Intelligence?

I'm so apt on diving into this duel and getting to the root of it, but it would be a melancholy not to recognize the presence of the honourable judges, the coordinators, my indispensable colleagues, my tenacious opponents and of course, the proficient audience.

Alexander The Great defined Genius as an "Exceptional Intellectual natural ability and talent"
That's right; "Natural"

School doesn't make you a Genius, education doesn't make you a Genius, hard work doesn't make you a Genius, they only reveal the Genius in you; Genius is inborn.

William James Sidis, who is considered one of the most Intelligent men on earth, with an I.Q of 250 was able to teach arithmetic to a 5 year old, when he himself was just 2.

A lot of children can barely even speak at the age of 2. He mastered over 40 languages at the age of 11; Now that's a genius, a gift nature offered him freely.

Being a Genius involves a ravishing display of "Exceptional" Intelligence.

Isn't this remarkable? 40 languages at the age of 11, no measure of self developments and enhancement can match this God given Intellect.

Williams didn't really make himself a genius, it was a natural talent.

It is impossible to speak about Geniuses and leave out the almighty Albert Einstein with an exceptional Intelligence Quotient, who single handedly pulled the world of physics to unparalleled heights.

Einstein displayed his Genius through physics and is most remembered for solving the mystery of relativity, with his formula for Binding energy

You are not a genius until your Intelligence solves a problem.

Being a genius is more than just being intelligent. It is more than just digesting knowledge and replicating it in an examination.

Real Geniuses are those who close the gap between imagination and reality.

Geniuses invent ideas, Imagining solutions to mysteries and laying them down.

Imagination is the fuel of every Genius, seeing possibilities behind every undeciphered mystery.

Seeing things the way no one else does.

As students all we do is to acquire knowledge and embrace understanding. The real Geniuses are those who laid-down the knowledge.

A century ago, who would have embraced the fact that we'll have machines flying in the sky (Airplanes) or posses the device that allows us to be able to speak to people millions of miles away.

But someone imagined it, and saw the possibility.

The human brain is a very exceptional organ. When Sir Albert Einstein died, scientist extricated his brain and studied it, with the hope of finding out what made his brain posses such exceptional intelligence. They didn't succeed.

Ultimately, they were hoping to find out the source of his intelligence, to create more specimens with Einstein's brain capacity.

As futile as it turned out, that's exactly what it means. Genius isn't an artificially acquired trait, but an expression of the natural Intelligence within.

If Geniuses are actually made and not born. Why isn't everyone a genius? Practically speaking

Why don't we have too many people with William's and Einstein's Intelligence today?

Why are geniuses very rare? Ruminate on these things

Some things you make and other things, nature provides naturally, Genius is one of them.

How can we even come to terms with the fact that Geniuses are sole products of hard work? When Gregor Mendel's law of Inheritance, clearly assigns Intelligence as an Inherited trait. One that can be transfered from generation to generation.

And this theory received worldwide accreditation, If it is globally agreed that Intelligence can be transferred from one successive generation to another through gene, do I even need to make it more obvious that Geniuses are Born and not made?

Neither of us is estranged to the fact that some people would read for hours into days, denying themselves of pleasure and comfort and at the end of the day, still unable to deliver.

The truth is, nothing can make you intelligent if you don't have it in you.
If Intelligence can be transferred through genetics, so can dullness.
Geniuses are born and cannot by any realistic means, be made.

I must be courteous enough to agree with my opponents to a certain degree; Hard work, persistence, diligence and dedication do help in making the genius.

Simply because, Intelligence is just like crude oil, on it's own, it is close to useless. It's societal usefulness only unveils when it is refined.

But the facts remain the same. You cannot make something out of nothing.

It will give me immense satisfaction, if with these indelible enunciation, I've been able to quench the flames of unbelief and scepticism and outrightly, beyond immeasurable doubt proved to you all that indeed Geniuses are born and not made .

Plss, iam from enugu and I intend to apply for med n sug come 2016... I am nt doing the sbrs programme. What are my chances with 250+ jamb score? Plss I need a fast rply if possible.
Am going to be very frank, You need very high scores bro.
But Nwanne, what about UNN that is close to you na?

Back to your question, your chances get higher with your scores. 250 is good, smiley, 280 is excellent cool and 300+ is possible wink
There's no limit to what you can achieve with God on your side.


If unfortunately, your jamb score is good but not good enough, please don't rely on optimism and luck, simply get a change of course form, and apply a related course. But I believe you'll make it smiley

The only option you have is to wait for the jamb result, if your jamb score is good, like 250 and above, then get the change of course form and fill medicine, with high scores in jamb and post utme, ABU will admit you. All the best.

I was about consoling you when I saw this

#IHATEUNILORIN
#IHATENIGERIA
#IHATEAPC

What has APC got to do with your predicament, or Nigeria at large?
Certainly, there is that pain, agony and anger. But you're channeling it in the wrong direction.

Have you even lamented to God? Maybe your problem is spiritual.
Nairaland can't help you.

The best we can do is console you and tell you words that'll definitely not make you feel any better.

Please take heart, I believe God has a better plan for you.

I need your advices please.
I want to apply for direct entry into medicine and surgery with my IJMB result of 12 points. ..what are my chances of been admitted? .
You have no chance at all with 12 points, even if you're from Kaduna.
I know people with 15 points this year who were not given Medicine.
Only those with 16 points
If you're willing to bend your dreams, I'll advice you to apply Pharmacy instead.
