[color=#000000][/color]Olagbegin was my HOD in mechanical engineering in 2012, all my GST got missing and I probated that was how the bad story of my uniben life started bro, finally transferred to physics I didn't know that place was hell, bro if I tell u wetin my eye see for uniben, only u will donate blood to me without even asking u, Dem finish my soul not just my physical body, but last last God still do am, boys are balling big time, it's not the end of the world.

I can totally relate bro.
Fail more than six credits = Probation.
It wasn't easy, I had a lot of friends who had to transfer to physical sciences. Some were advised to withdraw.
That law changed a lot of academic destinies.
The funny thing is, it didn't matter how you failed to account for the six credits, if you failed , got a missing script, or an error on the part of the collation. You'd face probation.
I had a Friend, brilliant girl, First semester as freshmen, She had 6A's 1B 1F.
I'm pretty sure the F was a mistake. She cried her eyes out as she could possibly face probation should there be another F.
Well, long story short, Her parents took her abroad to school. And yes she banged a first class and still graduated before me
I regretted at a time not leaving the country to restart undergrad during my undergraduate days.
My friends that did so, even up till 400 level, some did leave for the US. They are all doing well.
Good to know you've put that experience .
Life is what we make it.
Enjoy.

My daughter will never go to that school even if it's the only University left in Nigeria... School wey go turn your humble gal into a monster runz gal in less than one session.., that one na sch?

Wrong!! If there is anything bad Uniben is known for, it is not this.
The tendency of your daughter to turn a runs-girl is solely her decision as with any other Nigerian girl in this age.

Great uniben! I can't really relate.
But I know for certain, there are some departments that would make you feel that way, mainly because of the nature of the lecturers and teaching style.
For example Education is synonymous with missing scripts. How do you expect one not to get frustrated.
There are some lecturers that would want to deliberately fail students.
That's why I love Engineering. You get what you write.
I partied throughout university. Womanized and all, skipped a lot of classes, I still made a 4.48
In fact I would have made a first class, if I hadn't been more unserious during my final year, for which I regret.
Yes I did read, and was naturally an above average student.
Bottom line, put in your best, and hope for the best.
Also try understand what works, those that do better than you , try liasing with them to understand better how to get better grades.
In the end, as you might later realize, grades don't matter much depending on what you hope to pursue, but get the best grades you can as it could potentially open ways for you.
If you can make a first class , please do
If you can make a 2.1 , please do
Just do your best.
Lastly , dont forget to skill up. Get a digital skill
A university certificate is not just enough these days.
Good luck
Aluta continua!!

Fortitude.Going by the date she was born and died. She should be 105years.
Or am I missing something here??

For anyone who might come across this and is interested, since the OP doesn't want to share. Here it is
You can withdraw from PayPal with UBA AFRICARD.
Go to any UBA branch nationwide and request for a prepaid visa card or Africard.
They'd request for some documents maybe passport ,valid ID , and utility.
Request specifically for International high instant issue
You should be able to get it same day since its the instant issue. They will tell u how to fund and activate it.
Link this card to your PayPal and withdraw to card. Don't forget to activate it for web transactions.
That's all enjoy. No big deal.

Well, to correct some things.
A circle is a two dimensional figure and as such cannot be "layered".
The right word here is " part". And in this case for a full circle it would be called its Circumference.
Take a bit out of a circle , and you'd have divided it into Sectors.
The circumference of a sector is referred to as an Arc.
A line that intersects a circle at two end points is a Chord.
If this line cuts the circle, its referred to as a secant

Enjoy
I almost forgot. The [b]Perimeter[/b]is not a part. Its a term that describes the distance round a circle.

What are we celebrating this joyful moments with?

I don already cancel 2 plates of peppersoup.
Better days ahead. Lesson learnt.

So I summoned courage today, telling myself, anyway it goes life goes on..
Negative. I'd feel relieved.
Positive..I'd learn to see the bright side, I will still be alive at least , not dying any time soon.Besides everyone dies, so why should I kill myself.
Packed up and looked for a lab far away from home.
I inquired how much it will cost to do the test and how long should I be expecting the results. 30minutes tops.
Long story short, took my samples and asked me to wait.
I even wanted to run at a time sef..
The test came even quicker than I thought, I had barely had time to think about my life while sitting and my strategy to pull myself together should the test turn out positive, or whether I should just run , and forfeit my money.
I heard my name loud , my heart sank .This was the end I told myself. I stood up slowly like a rock was on my head and slowly found my way to the desk. I said yes I heard my name, she handed me the result in an envelope. I quickly put it inside my bag and left hurriedly, I don't want to see the result oo make I no go faint inside the lab.
Got home and just lay on my bed. Thinking of what to do.
After some minutes my friends called me on video asking me when I'm coming over (they were both my classmates and left for graduate studies in the US last year), telling me how I dey slack, I suppose don japa too make I hurry.
I shook my head while giving a fake smile , in my heart I said to myself, how do I process visa and all with a positive result , so does this mean my plan of leaving this country next year is gone forever?? I wondered
After the call, I don't know what came over me , I was just angry , I opened the bag , picked up the result , and opened it, saying even if its positive, all die na die.
To my shock I saw NEGATIVE boldly written.


You know the rest!!Yes my dream is alive, and I'm happy after months of torment.

I have an offer letter to sign without fear of medical screening also.

Thanks all.

I have come far, it isn't easy trying to find out what you know will shatter your life to smitherings if it goes south. Also if its bad, and you choose not to know worse still.
I just received an offer letter from a firm I interviewed some months ago. Offer looks good, and would have to go through medicals soon enough.
I think this is the last push, I would have to personally test before month end before medicals, so I know the way forward.
Negative, I go ahead with medicals.
Positive?

KelvinCoaster:
He is not serious!

He had been adviced since June to go for HIV test and from one of his comment,he knows that HIV is not a death sentence!

So he need people to sympatize and comment here instead of finding out his RVS.

Thanks for your submission.
However, you happen not to be in my shoes, so I would understand why you think the way you do.

My dilemma grows daily. I've been engulfed with fear the past few days. I think about my future and how I would have thrown away all the years of hardwork and perseverance if i happen to test positive.
My family dynamics is a bit complex, and people look up to me.
My girlfriend has been I'll lately. On and off. One week she's okay, the other week she's down.This has never happened to her she says and she complains saying she doesn't know what is wrong with her. And anytime she calls to complain my heart literarily "cuts". I end up crying after the conversation not just because of what it might mean for me, but because I might have unknowingly put someone else on the line.
I still get my headaches which doesn't seem to respond to medication.
I haven't been able to get myself to test as I reckon the sight of an unfavourable result would blow my life into smitherings.
I look for hope in any form, I'm holding on to straws.

Yeah, if it were that easy, i would have done that..
Still trying to get myself together.
waiting for contributions. How did u manage the anxiety. I'm a chronic hypochondriac, this makes my case even worse.

timid101:
@Dilemma247 Look at the mirrior, what is your tongue like?

Normal, nothing unusual,

I'm currently going through something similar right now, what was the outcome, and how did you manage the situation.
I have created a topic on mine.

sammycashly:
spits

Vyzz:




Isnor a death sentence

Yea right

I've recently been believing I might have been infected with HIV and that's not all, I might have also infected someone else,my girlfriend.
I will try as much as possible to give details, on why I have come to this conclusion.
I had tested for HIV sometime in September 2018,which came out clean. I tested negative. This was my first HIV test.
I had unprotected sex with 2 girls at different times. I'll give a breakdown of these encounter s.
I had unprotected sex with an ex-gf about a week later after the test.
My birthday was the next month,October.
A day to my birth-date, I got a call from an ex-gf we had broken up earlier that year.She asked if I was home, Yeah, I was and she said she was coming over.
Note: After our breakup I had decided to stay single
That night , she came, and said she wanted to spend the night as the next day was my birthday.
One thing led to another, we had sex, just a few thrusts as I couldn't continue, I had noticed she didn't feel the same down there, as when we dated, she was drier, and it felt different.

Now here's the part that keeps playing in my head.
When we almost had sex, she asked if I got a condom, I didn't. This was a girl, that never used condom while we dated.In fact, any attempt to use a condom she would resist and say, I would only do so except I was sleeping with other girls.
Why now!!!

Well Fastforward march 2019, I went to NYSC camp, this was the beginning of my ordeals.
I had fallen ill after the second week of camp.This was serious, All my life I barely fall sick, never had any major illness, never visited a hospital etc.
But this? I was seriously feverish, had sores on my lips. Got medicines thinking it was malaria or typhoid, or maybe the camp conditions were not just for me. All to no avail. This continued after I left camp.
Symptoms at this point.
1.Fever
2.Headache
3.Mouth sores
4.Lost appetite
5.Athletes foot
Yes! When I left camp, I noticed the upper skin of my feet was peeling and shedding off. I googled and saw something like this called athletes foot.This was the first in my entire life.

Three weeks later, it had cleared up, and I also felt better, but I couldn't stop thinking of the experience. And you know when you type up those symptoms on Google. Wahala!!!

I decided to take my mind off, and took solace in my last test which came out clean.
To be succinct, Throughout my service year, I experienced bouts of illness that i hadn't experienced at ant point.
I would feel tired and fatigued for no reason. I wasn't been stressed at work or anything. I would have headaches, which wouldn't stop even when I took medicines. I complained and some of my work colleagues said I was probably stressed, because I was always in front of a computer screen. But I knew this was different from anything I have ever felt. Some said i t was migraine that I needed rest.
This feeling of fatigue and headache would come and go.
And returned sometime last month.
Note: During this time I was experiencing the fatigue and headaches, I fell I'll at one time.
Experienced Severe Diarrhea. I was vomiting, stooling. Had serious body weakness. Which wouldn't stop. Even after taking drugs

Long story short: Why I have come to this conclusion.
My recent gf called in sick, she had fever, headaches that wouldn't stop, she had sore throat earlier.
She had complained of feeling very weak and fatigued. Lost appetite too.
She has finished her dose but still no improvements. Immediately she told me all these, my heart started racing, as I remembered everything again.
This girl is a virgin. We haven't had penetrative sex, We nearly did one time, but i stopped.
Here's the thing, last night, she complained of forgetfulness. This has been happening to me since the past year. I had graduated one of the best of my class. But I noticed I easily forgot things. My memory and recollection abilities had dulled. I had issues finding words to describe situations. This came easily before.
I noticed this was serious, when I had to give a talk to a group of people during my service year, and my delivery was not at par with my normal. I was incoherent with ideas and all. While to others this might look normal and okay. I know something was wrong somewhere.
I also haven't been feeling too good, I have noticed changes in my body.
Noticed, a little rash on my face which had cleared.
Had swollen nodes on my back which has cleared. But this had never happened my entire life. One also came out on my chin.
Noticed , I easily get tired more than normal. There are tasks I could usually do without feeling too tired. But now, I just feel tired.
Constant headaches with no apparent cause.
And now, my girlfriend feels the same, even though, its just been two weeks.

I know the only sure way is to go get tested. But damn!! I'm scared

Am I being overly paranoid, or Anxious.
Have you been through such a scare and how did you manage it.
