LEGITLAYO:
Exactly my point... .
I know the importance of faith. .
And so therefore, I'm not troubled whatsoever.
God that has been working miracles in my life in time past won't forsake me this time.
This, I am sure of.

" Now faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen" Heb11:1

[color=#FF3300]*washes face with ashes, soap n water..cleans wit a towel*

Hehehe, Shey na Legit dey quote Bible lyk dis..


At d frustration caused by Unilorin, every1 becomes a prayer champion - DharmyYinks(2015)

All is well bro [/color]

LEGITLAYO:


Broda, I just went thru your recent posts on this thread and I'm quite glad that someone spoke my mind. .

Whatever will be will be.

I ain't bothered Oh.
A friend scored 74% last year and she was given botany, she didn't even accept the admission, I then got motivated and said I'd score nothing less than 80%
God answered my prayers and I scored 82%.

But nau, I'm just so confused.

I guess if we do a survey of people not yet given admission, you'd find the those that had to change course from medicine or any other competitive course with a higher cut off mark to a course with a lesser cutoff mark are the ones dominating.

I was lucky to change my course to pharmacy in good time before it was removed from the options sef.


But mb;bs still reflected on my slip although I had changed.

My mind wanders.

I think that's where the problem lies.. ...

Honestly even the pharmacy sef no be from my mind.

I had hoped anatomy or physiology would have been available in the course someone could change to.

Anyways I wouldn't mind if God touches the heart of the admission committee and legitlayo's name is put under anatomy 2nd list or physiology .
That way I can still have hope of crossing over to mb;bs in due time. ....
