Divsy:
sorry bro what was ur cgpa in 100lvl

It was very low. I can't disclose the exact figure here

Mixty:

xfire champella thecode davide470 ajanlekoko

Hang on please. The more experienced persons in the house will come and give their opinion on this matter.

Me i be apprentice for where you dey o boss.

ProphetUdeme:
this time around bro i will serious like die. I always underated c.g.p.a especially when i have D or C in a 3 or 4 credit unit.
yeah its like you were in the same department with one of your sbmc junior? Iniubong Ossom the guy is my neighbour at shelter afrique and we even stayed close at akpan essien street near skul.


God will surely see you thru? Wetin you been get for Jamb score? And which school did you apply and what was your post-utme score?

yeah graduated 2006 too but not at st.brians. I was at airforce but left to uyo high school. I sabi una wella, nsisong udofia, jason sagas, itohowo, lawrence and the rest. I was even with Ubong Ikott And Godwin Idopise this evening at osongama.

Na wa o boss! So na this same Akpan Essien wey you been dey live o. Chai! What a small world.

I lived with Iniubong Ossom at that Akpan Essien in my 300 level.

Oh this CGPA issue na die o. Once you make mistakes in your 100 level, it takes the grace of God for you to come out with a good grade.

I chose Rivers State University of Science and Technology (RSUST).

Me na 2006 set also o

ProphetUdeme:
i sabi all those guys. Da bro uniuyo just give me C.G.P.A were my parents no like at all. (2.35). I studied history and international studies with Emmanuel Okon (u go sabi am sef) So am going for a second degree to study Law. Hw abt u?

We're in the same situation man. I'll be through with Agricultural Economics and Extension next month by the grace of God.

I already wrote last year's JAMB for Mechanical Engineering. I'm waiting for the school's admission list to be released this week.

If my name does not come out (God forbid), i'll write this year while i'll be serving.

I sabi Emmanuel Okon wella. E mean say you really sabi all the S.B.M.C guys o especially 06 and 07 sets.

ProphetUdeme:
not really. I was at Christ the king, so all my mates were at sbmc and also when i was in uniuyo i was in the same set with Chila, ubong ikot, sifon ossom, mandy etc. So your name was familiar

I also attended Christ The King. These guys were in my set back then at S.B.M.C.

The likes of Donald Henshaw, Bassey Akpanumoh, Ubong Utuk, etc. Mehn! School team was fun.

So you want to study another course?

ProphetUdeme:
Viewing this topic : champella. Wad up. I just see your profile. Abadie na? The name champella looks familiar. Is it champella joe of St.Brians Model College?

Ah! Boss mi, idioke o. I dey loyal to you o.

Yes, i am. You schooled there?

If you have bought your JAMB form already, i suggest you don't fill it yet.

This is to avoid filling in a course that you will regret later in life.

Research more on these three:

* Mechanical Engineering
* Electrical Electronics Engineering
* Civil Engineering

So many threads have been created for Engineering and various Engineering fields.

Try and search for these threads. I'll post their links here very soon.

These are the type of threads and topics i love. Let me stay here and learn from my bosses.

I went through the note of a friend who's in the same field of study with me since he's a Uni student.. I thought they might have gone far with that particular course..believe me I was disappointed cuz I had to question him based on the course but he could'nt proved himself.

Too bad for a Uni student

reminiscing:
I have lots of male friends,in fact I love to keep them as friend even my parent know that very well.In my little study about guys and my interactions with them,I discovered that guys actually could get seriously in love with a girl and when they do,these are the signs


1.He will always want to be with you
It is possible for a guy to be always busy but the truth is,if a guy truly loves a girl,he will try to create time out of his busy schedule just to be with her.

2.He feels so confident about you
That moment when you step into a place and he walks up to you and tell you how georgous you look even though you are not putting on the best of clothes.If he sees beauty in you when others think of you as ugly,That's a sign.

3.When he is willing to wait
He may be one guy who loves sex and loves making out with whoever he dates but when he decides to wait till he is committed "married" before he dig it down with you then it means he thinks of you as special.He loves you..

4.When he introduces you to his friends and family
When a guy loves you,he wont hesitate to do the needful because He feels lucky having you and he is scared of loosing you to another guy.

5.He always want to be seen in public with you by his side
When he takes you out to every occasion he attends,it doesn't mean he is selfish/overprotective of you.it means he feels confident about you and he loves you.He doesn't see the relationship as just a joke and he is ready to invest his time and his resource to build up lovely memories.

6.When he sees you and smile even though he is upset
When your guy seem to be upset with everything and everybody around him but immediately you show up he smiles like kilode........That is a sign that you mean a lot to him.

7.When he respect your privacy and is concerned about your success
when he respect the fact that you need to work or study and in most cases he's willing to burn the night with you just to make sure you achieve your goal successfully. Then he loves you

8.When he tell you crazy things and does crazy things
When he tells you how many times he purged that morning after eating something funny,how had to sneak into the kitchen to taste what you were cooking when you were not looking,when he still kisses from you wen you are not looking....That means he sees you as a friend,confidant and as his love.



Please feel free to add yours,I dedicate this topic to the broken hearted ladies.May you find love

Which lecturer taught you all these? Is he in AEC, ANS, COS or SOS department?

Where was the venue? NALH 1, 2, 3 or OALH?

Dear wonderful people on Nairaland


It's rather unfortunate that i had to make use of this medium to show my displeasure on the way my network provider (MTN) has just scammed me.


I believe there are so many people who have been scammed by MTN and other network providers.


I recharged my account with N100 worth of airtime and dialed the codes *556# to check my balance and a pop-up menu came up.


On the pop-up menu, they advertised 100MB at the rate of N100 once you text "PFW" to 131.


I did just that hoping to receive the 100MB they advertised. Instead, i received this very funny message. . .


"You have successfully subscribed to the Project Fame WEEKLY bundle. Valid till 05/09/2015 21:44:36. Visit (www.projectfamewestafrica.com) to enjoy. Text PFB to 131 to check.Your online voting PIN will be sent to you shortly"


I feel very bad that a company as big as MTN would decide to scam me of my hard earned money by advertising for a service they do not provide.


I therefore call on the authorities of MTN to either:

1. return my "hard earned N100"

or

2. Credit my account with 100MB


Thank you as you do so

From:
An MTN Scammed victim



Mods, if this is not the right section please move it there. We need to let these network providers know that we are tired of all their excesses.

Thank you

Babba:
Iwant to study agric or agric extension, so whch one wil u advice me to go for.

Go to the University of Uyo (UNIUYO) and study it as Agricultural Economics and Extension at the undergraduate level. It's a 5 year course.


In your 100 level, you'll offer purely Science based courses like - Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology.


You will also offer some General Studies courses with the code GST. Some of them are - Use of English, Philosophy, Entrepreneuship, etc.


In your 200 level, you'll be introduced to all the Agricultural disciplines - Forestry, Home Economics, Food Science and Technology, Soil Science, Crop Science, Animal Science, Fisheries and Aquaculture.


Your 300 level will be narrowed down to four disciplines - Agricultural Economics and Extension, Animal Science, Crop Science, Soil Science. These four departments are awarded a Bachelor of Agriculture (B.Agric) upon graduation.


Your 4th year is the Internship year where you will be taught more on the four disciplines i mentioned in your 3rd year. There will be a Seminar for this level. The faculty may decide to send you to farms outside the school. 2 sets have been sent to the Shongai Farm in Rivers State.


The 5th year will be stictly departmental courses. Some of them are - Econometrics, Technological Change in Agriculture, Production Economics, Agriculral Economics Analysis I & II, etc


There will be a Seminar in both semesters. The 1st semester Seminar is the - Pre-field Seminar. It's a kind of Proposal which comprises of Chapters 1 - 3.


The 2nd semester Seminar is the Post field Seminar which is your Chapters 4 and 5. Thereafter, you'll defend your Project in the presence of an External Examiner.


Generally, you'll be taught on Agriculral Economics and Agricultural Extension to widen your knowledge on these two fields. It's at your M.Sc level that you will specialize.


In terms of chances of admission, it's easier compared to other disciplines like - Medicine & Surgery, Engineering, Law, Pharmacy, etc


However, once you get in you will find out that this faculty is not a walk in the park.


I believe this will help a bit


Good luck!

Samanza89:
Come to University of Uyo and make 1st class in Agric related courses! Na ur papa be V.C! U will know that Agric faculty as a whole is tougher than even Medicine!

The merchant navy (merchant marine) isn’t exactly a very common or popular profession. There are many people around the world who are either not aware of this unique industry or have several misbeliefs about the same.

However, owing to a larger than life depiction in popular culture, it intrigues a vast majority of people who’ve never worked as, or known, a seafarer. This curiosity results in questions that seafarers are, quite understandably, repeatedly answering to every such person who has no to negligible information of the field of merchant navy.

We have heard several myths, fallacies and utter nonsense spoken by people who have no clue about the industry at all.
So we at Marine Insight have decided to bust all those myths once for all; so that the next time someone asks a clichéd question, you can just point them to this article!

Here are some of the most popular myths associated with the merchant navy:

1. SEAFARERS EARN LOADS OF MONEY

Probably the most common aspect of a conversation with a misinformed individual, everybody seems to think that we’re cash cows that get paid a huge amount of money.

Agreed, the pay is good. However, it is similar to the pay that individuals get after getting themselves a decent MBA/Masters and landing a respectable job (Of course, after certain years down the line in their careers).

It is correct that the initial pay is far better than what one would get at shore, but the gap closes up as time goes by. Moreover, people at shore ought not forget the pains a seafarer has to go through to bring in that sort of money- time away from family, living at the mercy of nature, tough labour onboard etc.

In our favor though, we don’t have to pay taxes, and rightfully so (Rules on taxes may vary across different countries) !

2. SEAFARERS CONSUME ALCOHOL ALL THE TIME

The world over seems to think that sailors have an infinite capacity for alcohol. Couple that with their idea that alcohol onboard is subsidized to the point that it’s free! This notion gives people the credibility to think that sailors drink alcohol like its going out of fashion.

What seems to be ignored is that there are random alcohol tests onboard, and that now there is a ‘Company Policy’ against drinking and all of that. Also forgotten is the fact that drinking deters sharp judgment; and that mistakes at sea can threaten the lives of all onboard.

In our favor, alcohol is indeed very cheap onboard (but that doesn’t give us the liberty to drink it freely though). Moreover, considering increasing stringent regulations, most of the ships are now becoming “ no-alcohol” zones.

3. SEAFARERS HAVE WIFE/GIRLFRIEND AT EVERY PORT

The sole reason why sailors are interpreted to be inherently unfaithful! There was a time when a sailor was greeted at ports with a string of women to choose from. But then that was decades back!

However, over time, with the advent of safety regulations, ISPS Code and other security measures, this has become a thing of the past. Combine that with the possibility of ruining one’s health and life back home, we have a purely fictional idea of a sailor’s entertainment at port.

It is undeniable that if looked for, services can be found anywhere in the world, but that’s for any human being and not restricted to a sailor. A new country, a new port offers a plethora of sights and experiences.

Also, none understands the value of a relationship (and the loyalty that goes with it) more than a sailor. Time away from loved ones doesn’t weaken bonds but strengthens them instead. Unlike others, seafarers knows the true meaning of – someone special is waiting back at home.

4. SEAFARERS ARE ALWAYS SEASICK

“Don’t you get seasick?!” One of the most common questions when a sailor proclaims proudly that he works on a ship. Seasicknessis a condition that affects few. Is it not mandatory for every seafarer to feel seasick!

Much like motion sickness, seasickness is subjective and affects people on a case-to-case basis. And no, it is not a big deal. People get it and then get over it gradually. Every seafarers might get homesick at some point in their careers, but there is no surety that everyone will get seasick.

5. SEAFARERS HAVE TO DEAL WITH PIRATES EVERYDAY

Yes, we know you’ve watched Captain Phillips and Pirates of the Caribbean. And yes, the former as close as it’ll get to a true depiction of an encounter such as that. We also know you are aware and also worried of the rising number of pirates around Somalia.

But all the seas the world over are not sprinkled with heaps of pirates! Piracy is concentrated in certain parts of the world. Also, it is not compulsory that a pirate attack is guaranteed in those parts of the world.

If safety and security measures are not executed to a full length and there are lapses in judgment, it is only then that pirates have the ability to get ship borne. Gradually though, with the advent of armed guards, things are getting much tougher and dangerous for the pirates.

However, as a standalone security measure, sailors still have to make do with water hoses and barbed wires! But that doesn’t mean seafarers have to deal with pirates everyday and everywhere.

6. SEAFARERS GET TO SEE NEW COUNTRIES

“Oh! You’re in the merchant navy. You must get to travel so much!” Undoubtedly one of the most common statements from people who have not been associated with the merchant navy whatsoever.

Times have changed and so have trading patterns. Discharging at ports is fast and efficient, leaving little or no time for shore leave.

VLCCs don’t even get to reach port at times. Bulk carriersare probably the only kind of ships that have the luxury of being at port for over a couple of days. That too, work shifts and stress makes seafarers put bed rest over going out to the city.

Just because seafarers visit new ports and countries that doesn’t mean they have the luxury or opportunity to roam around according to their own wish.

7. SEAFARERS LIVE A GLAMOROUS LIFE

People without a fair idea of the merchant navy seem to think that it is a glamorous life. Ships, exotic countries, smart uniforms, great technologies, enchanting sea etc. might make our life at sea seem nothing short of a Hollywood flick.

Unfortunately (or fortunately!), people do not get to see the dirty boiler suits, the torn safety shoes, the condition of one’s face at a dusty port, the fatigue that engulf them at the end of the day and so on and so forth.

Agreed that there is a certain level of sheen that exists in our line of work. But that luster only comes once all the dirt has been removed.

8. SEAFARERS HAVE AN EASY LIFE WITH 6 MONTHS ON LAND AND 6 MONTHS AT SEA

There’s a universal idea that all seafarers have a ‘common 6 months on, 6 months off’ regime. So naturally, they believe that the life is easy for we work for 6 months and laze around for the other 6! Ridiculous, come to think of it. First of all, contracts differ in tenure. It can be 4 on, 2 off or a variety of other combinations depending on the rank and company.

Secondly, the months that we don’t work, we’re only spending and not earning. Even with companies that pay while their seafarers are at home, it’s normally much reduced.

Third, the work that we do over the few months that we are onboard, makes it necessary for us to go back home and relax; else we’d all go berserk! Couple that with handling family, relationships, exams etc. and we barely get proper time to completely switch off.

9. SEAFARERS ARE UNEDUCATED FOOLS

Gone are the days when joining the merchant navy meant getting on a ship when one came of age and sailing away. Many people think going to sea doesn’t need much of education.

But the truth is today, every rank, including the crew of the ship, has to be well informed, educated and dexterous in theory as well as practice. As far as the officers are concerned, it is a different ball game!

Studies pertaining to the merchant navy have become very intense. Subjects ranging from Celestial Navigationto COLREGS to Chartworkhave to be registered to the brain in a permanent manner.

Those who have been through 3 years of BSc in Nautical Science or 4 years of BTech in Marine Engineering will clearly know the hell they have to go through! So, assuming that sailors are complete buffoons with no knowledge of their craft is a very misplaced concept.

10. SEAFARERS HAVE TO FIGHT WARS

People often confuse merchant navy with defense navy. Many believe everyone going to the sea goes to fight wars. The merchant navy is an auxiliary entity that might be called upon in case of dire emergency to assist the navy.

However, on a daily operational basis, it has NOTHING to do with the navy or the armed forces of the country in general. The merchant navy is simply a commercial operation wherein transfer of goods/cargo takes place across the world.

As in a business wherein goods are exchanged for monetary gains, the merchant navy involves the same process where goods are handed over from A to B for money. So no, please do not confuse it with the navies.

11. SEAFARERS MUST BE GREAT SWIMMERS

Just because seafarers have to work at sea, people assume that it is mandatory for them to be great swimmers. However, the fact is seafarers do not have to be swimmers to work at sea.

It’s a common misbelief among people that seafarers might need to swim to shores or other ships incase the ship meets with an accident. But no matter how great swimmer a person is, even if the situation demands, it is next to impossible to swim to shores or stay afloat in water in extreme weather conditions.

Moreover, there are several personal protective equipment on board ships to ensure that seafarers can float in water during emergencies.

12. SEAFARERS DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO AT SEA

Life is easy for seafarers, there is nothing much to do on board ships – that’s what many people think. A myth goes around that people at sea just lazy around, fish and make merry once the ship sails. As many don’t have a clue about the working of the ship, they think seafarers have lots of time in hand which allows them to booze, travel and relax.

However, the fact is seafarers are one of the most hardworking people in the world who have to face serious issues everyday on board.
At the end, however many inappropriate things seafarers might hear about their profession, the love for the sea and their job is never diminished. Sailors love talking about their job and their stories at sea. Seafarers are humans too who work very hard through the roughest weather putting their lives at risk.

Therefore, it’s important that the common folk is well informed about the merchant navy and life at sea; for if it wasn’t for seafarers, the economy of the entire world would come to a halt.

Yes I agree with you, we under-paid and not valued

But Its the best engineering discipline to be studied in a country like nigeria,

I'm a die hard fan of Mechanical engineering but I don't regret studying civil.

3 days ago, made it one year since service no job.

But if u proficient with softwares and design plus architectural drawings; u'll still be picking cash.
Handling of small & residential construction; do u know how much can be made from adding 5/10naira ontop of every item purchased on site.

So while we waiting 4 the jobs, we not idle

Imagine u read Chemistry or Physics or M.Eng. (Meant no harm) na hunger go kill boiz


Medcine remains the best !
Iv never met an unemployed doctor

Seems you still have a soft spot for Mechanical Engineering. Why do you love it even though you're a Civil Engineer?

Please explain more so i can learn from you
