Thank u so much ma'am.

You're welcome.
I've posted a part of my experience.

buzyguy: U really inspired me doc,av bn thnkn am d best loser cuz this is my 8th yr aspiring 4medcine and i pray i am in this yr inspite of my low jamb score.thks!

One thing is Nigeria has a way of killing people's dreams(no offense meant).
The corruption there is something that knocks me off each time i think towards that direction.

Or how would you explain a situation where Medical aspirant A who scored 296 in PUME not gaining admission and Aspirant B with a score of 242 or there about gaining admission to study in the same med university(federal).both chosed as first choice and same catchment area

Or how do we explain another scenerio where only abou less than 70 medical aspirants scored between 240 and 320 and at the end of the day the published list showed about 250 admitted candidates with the name of an aspirant with score 280 missing.Where the hell did they manufacture the other names from.Its a case of giving preference to people who do not really deserve it.

Or getting 86% and being refused admission just because you are not an indigene

Or again the case studying very hard for jamb and finally get your result cancelled

or the case of applying for a Pre-degree programme and finding your name not shortlisted for the programme after meeting the criteria for enrollement.

The list goes on and on.Yet this was an experience of an intelligent and above average student.

Just believe in your dreams and do things better each time.
In my case i couldn't c myself doing anything else except what im doing now.The thought of Medicine alone gave me Joy and Strengthened me,though my friends had all gotten to the University,they all thought i was chasing after the wind.

But my family never losed Faith and confidence in me, they saw what others couldnt see in me(they saw me as Doctor even before i went to Med. Sch).Medical knowledge was kinda innate in me,read a lot of medical texbooks and was well informed on medical stuffs while still at home.Would always start up a conversation on a medical topic with my elder Bros who is a Haematologist,i could discuss with him like i had been to a medical school.Movies that interested me the most were films like Grays Anatomy.
Medicine was like life to me,couldn't figure out what else i will do better and excel in.Despite the failures and disappointment, i knew that what would be would be.If what my GUTS and instincts made me believe are right,then it will surely be.

Then i had to let God's WILL be done,cos i suddenly discovered that the problem wasnt ME,rather, the way the country is being run or something else i couldnt control.

JUST at the right time,though years had slipped,i got more than i asked for.....better.....and still hoping for the best...
Come to think of it,how come i'm toping my class here(people from different background,continents and countries)?someone that couldn't succeed in something as common as securing a sit in a Nigerian med. School.
Was it my Problem? or was it Nigeria? or was it a predestined plan that i needed the experience and an international studying exposure or something else i do not know about?.In all I give GOD THANKS.....

This is for persons going through what i went through,you might just as well try again and do better than you did previously.... you never can tell what God has i store for you.
The end Justifies the means.But if your PASSION can't drive you enough,then try something else which might turn out to be your original calling(you may end up finding success and Happiness in it).

sagaciousblog: inspiring!!! plz can i add u on fb?

Sure!leave your email address so i can send you my fb contact

labodinho: you chose that due to the country or ..?

Nah,not country.

Generally(my opinion again)

labodinho: Helo Ma great Doctors,been a y ve been here.UTME downgraded me buh ve gat no choice dan to change cos.Plz,i need info and the possibility of securing a good job on these courses....Physiology and pharmacology...To be honest,i dnt like pharmacology..Plz i need yur help Dr.I'm a Unilag aspirant if ders any Dr frm der too,i'll need yur contribution.Tanx

Pharmacology is better(my opinion though)

Gleefreak125: Is all hope lost? Has my medical dreams been dashed? I scored 210 in jamb 4 medicine in Unilorin & UI. Shuld I jst get d Change of course form n wat courses can I change 2? I'M FED UP

Sorry Bro, but that is not the spirit of a good Doctor.I rarely reply to posts except the ones that catch my attention.If truly you want to be a Med. Doctor and you are convinced right in your heart that thats what you would do best,why dont you put up a little determination?i call it stikability(which you need even when you eventually get to medical school)thats the spirit that keeps you going when you have labs 5 times a week and classes inbetween,plus voluminous books to cover.the spirit that keeps you for 5-6yrs in med. sch.Dont allow Situations in Nigeria to ruin your Drea.ms Dont quit just yet if medicine is really what you desire,dont accept what life throws at you.Search yourself to know how you can do things better next time and 210 isnt really bad provided you have the chance to prove yourself and do better in the PUTME.
How many times Have you tried BTW?


I spent 8yrs after high school before i got into Med.School.I couldnt think of anything else but Medicine,so it depends on your passion and driving force.My experience really might not hold true for everyone anyways!

What is this about English?

BraideBraide: I've been in bed all day..i really stink now...need to take a shower...I'm kinda sick..but thanxxx y'aLl..I know I'll get through this..true love is hard to find..

That's if it exists.You only take your chances.
LOVE...I mean

Sorry though, Cheer up

DJDOLA: Medcine

Why if i may ask?




and that's not how MEDICINE is spelt

What makes me think the Op is making sense?
I've thought about the fact that two supposedly love Birds could wake up one day and decide they are done with each other.Where did the love go then?the promises,the beautiful moments spent together
what happened to the LOVE...... You wanna walk away from her,you wanna divorce him.I thought you guys LOVED each other?

Its irreconciliable...... what happened to forgiveness or at least the LOVE....(that you professed for each other).
Im still thinking hard cos i use that word LOVE....almost everyday.LOVE.......LOVE....LOVE.maybe Affection is a better word.

its right we have affection for our loved ones,but LOVE.........?YEAH I GUESS WE LOVE THEM TOO or damn,im still confused about the word LOVE.There is LOVE... surely,but we use it interchangeably with the feeling we have, that feeling of ATTRACTION when we are INFATUATED or in LUST.Like they say CHANGE is the only constant thing.Hence(infatuation, attraction,and lust) are not constant.
Maybe it doesnt really exist like im beginning to feel.It could be real though, for people that know what it is and do things the right way.
Does love exist?im still thinking...

MMotimo: Normal to be nervous, especially when it's your first. It will probably also affect your finances, be prepared

[quote author=sampitts][/quote]Yeah,im not kidding.It happened to me 2 times.He came back after 1yr,but it was late 'cause i had moved on.(he says its 1 of the biggest mistakes he ever made.was actually expecting i would call him).He has refused to let go.

Though three times my man left,and 3 times he came running back,LOL.In his own case i think its more or less a case of releasing what you love and it coming back to you.(He went as far as planning marriage with the chick he left me for).i NEVER called or bugged him because as things were,we were sweet and suddenly he started acting up.I had to free him.He tested,saw and came back to appoogize

sampitts: I wonder when some ladies wld say; he'll come back if God says he's mine. Instead of fighting for their man, they fold their arms in wait bt gues what, some nvr came back. most guys like ladies that fight for them so ladies if u trully love ur guy, u shld be able to fight for him, atleast to some extent. What's ur take on this?

why dont the men fight for their ladies?
does it have to be the lady doing the fighting always?
Men are the stronger vessels afterall ,let them fight for their ladies instead of folding their arms.


My take is a MAN is not a tool that can be stolen.He's got a WILL et al.He wont leave in the first place if He doesnt want to,so i dont see the need to fight when two like minds know what they want and work together to make things better.


.......But then if He wants to go,i'll free him.I bet,He will come running back(that's if he thinks im worth it)...Talking from experience.

must it always point to the woman?what about the guys?do they lie or keep some secrets from their dates?

just got me thinking.............

Cuties

@ Op you dumped her because she had been sexually active in the past.
And you suddenly noticed her weight after you slept with her, or did she just gain weight after you guys met?


You are really a learner,giving up a good woman because of her past that may not affect your future together in any way.

Sit there and wait for the kind of woman you are wishing for in your dreams......NO BODY IS PERFECT..


I see you dumping the next girl for flimpsy excuses too.
GOODLUCK

omoteamac: tank u ma...pls i want to knw au to secure d china biznes visa,d flight fee and the best place in terms of accomodatn..speedy respnse wil be appreciatd..tank u once more

You dont need to go through any agent for that,check the chinese embassy website, i believe you will find helpful information there.You need a company in china to invite you, your business registration and all what not.

im only 100% sure of student visa process which requires you provide your admission Notice, a JW202 form from the school that already offered you admission,your high school Diploma certificate,Letter from your sponsor and His Bank Statement,a completed Medical Fitness form a flight reservation and attestation letters.These are all you need.(except the process changed)

Again i said you dont have to go through any agent,all you need is information then do things yourself.The chinese embassy is one of the straight forward embassies in Nigeria or at least the one in Abuja.

and flight fee ranges from 250-270 NGN (Emirate return ticket) depending on the airline and the booking time,you can check the website of some Airlines and compare prices.

GoodLuck

ronald4lif: Wetin you want go do for china, you dey speak chinese

You dont need to speak chinese before you go to china.


@Op what exactly do you wanna know?

Toluwarni: North cyprus,South Cyprus, Georgia, Romania are all good countries, have you considered any of them??
By the way Russian chics are hot

what makes Georgia good?

Prettychyna: you want to write USMLE and you are still writing like a teenager. The earlier you start writing like a professional the better for you.
