Dear all,
Please, i want to install Windows7 on my Acer Aspire......the problem i am having now is that i can't boot from my DVD.....it keeps saying 'bootable disk'.....Please nairalanders, come to my aid

uxomykaz:
luks like u ve made up ur mind already...with "100lvl courses suck die" u jst mentioned in d finally part..however,my opinion wud be for you to choose unilorin...since u b in 200lvl in unilorin...besides,NO STRIKES....Try and also update dis particular post of urs on UNILAG ADM THREAD...den compare d opinions and views u get on both thread...before u make ur final decision tho....its all abt getting the B.sc in maths dat actually matas,either in isolation or otherwise...#my opinion tho

Thanks,
i would just that now.
It's not all about B.Sc Maths alone......minoring in other courses gives an added advantage if i intend to proceed to purse a Postgraduate degree.
Thanks anyway.
I really appreciate.

Ah ah ahhhhhhhhhhh, you you youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, but you didn't tell anything about your UNILORIN admission process.


Tutoring right now will reply as soon as possible.

Stay cool!

People like you make a good instructor, keep the good deed up,
it was a decision i made so lately, wanted OAU from the onset, though my ND grade is good enough to get me in, but the popular mindset '' you need to know someone'' since they don't conduct any entrance exercise, scared hell out of me.
That was one of the reasons why i finally choosed UNILORIN, though my PUTME/PUDE was not a Jaw Opening one........i wasn't even expecting anything from them, not until yesterday when i saw their message.

rkarang:

My dear sister, I want you to see my piece of advice as just an input. You and I know for sure that decision making process involves series of stages--The data gathering, analyzing and evaluating of data and then taking decision etc.

In my own view, it's of two perspectives. The first is why you must accept UNILAG & the second is why you must accept UNILORIN offer.

Why you must accept UNILAG admission:

I will like to analyze this using the concept of hierarchy of needs in management. The concept explains how people move from getting their basic needs (food, shelter etc) to getting security and when the money keeps coming, they want to socialize, later they realize that they need self respect (they begin to take exception to indolence) etc---Note that they're not happy until they get what they aspire for or should I say fulfilled.

The above concept explains why a 50-year old man applies for LAW/MBBS admission... It also explains why a PHD holder applies for LAW/MBBS (I'm using the two cos I don't want to book much space on Nairaland ).

So if you really want Mathematics with options in Economics, it is better for you to accept UNILAG offer before it gets to late (closes).


Why you must accept UNILORIN Offer of Admission:

If you don't fall into the category of the above points on hierarchy of needs. I.E You don't have a penchant for Mathematics with Options in Economics, then you must accept UNILORIN admission.

Why? The two institutions are highly reputable. However, the advantage of getting a 200lv admission into UNILORIN is obvious.


Good luck!

hmmmm
just as i pick up my mobile phone to log in to Nairaland, i knew already that am going to drink from the well of your knowledge.
I really appreciate this.
Very explanatory enough.
Would let you guys know my final decision.

Dear all,

I need your advise,
I applied to University of Ilorin through direct entry with a view to studying Mathematics and interestingly I was admitted yesterday.
Though I wrote JAMB, and I have been
admitted to UNILAG to study Maths as well,
UNILAG Maths gives me option in minoring in other courses, I want Economics. But that Of UNILORIN is only in isolation.
having paid my fee and on the verge of completing my registration.
Should I forgo UNILAG admission and go ahead with my UNILORIN admission, seriously 100lvl courses suck die.
Rkanrang et al, I need your view on this.
Thanks.

Has anyone successfully logged in to complete his/her online registration?

labodinho:

The obligatory fee will be made known to you soon but for faculty of science and Meds,you're to pay #10,000 for faculty reg. and for departmental reg. it varies.

Thanks, i knew already that you know better.

Hello guys,
Please how much is the Obligatory fee we are to pay after the screening?
Faculty of Science precisely.
Labodinho, et, al...Please do justice to this!

Many thanks and God bless you all!

It's sure better late than never..... My joy is ineffable

ohhh, As a man thinketh so he is,

Congratutions bro!
More power to your elbow.

skydancer:
Eh, there're many ways around this. You can hack it if you can get a good engineer around you and you have ownership proof. Simple way with anyone available however is to simply install another OS and retrieve your original files using admin mode.

Many thanks, i have ownership proof.

Accept my congratulations, sister I'm wishing success in your academic pursuit.

I'm very much happy for you, sister!

Many thanks my deary brother, i would definitely celebrate you this year as well, Await your triple admission this year!

Hmmmm

any help to render?

Akoka, here i come!!!!!!!!!!

Dear computer gurus,

Come to my aid, i changed my system password few days ago, i have been using my former password for long, changed it due to my siblings, they too love games, i don't use it since then, i ON it now, but it giving me incorrect password, tried all possible passwords, all effort has been proved abortive,
Now, i am trying to reset the password, i insert my flashdrive, it saying the disk is not a password reset disk,
please all, come to my aid, am dying, i can't afford to lose all my files. Formatting is not an option.
Please!!!!!!
Acer core i3, windows 8.

Thanks in anticipation.

Western007: It's not false, I've tried 2 upload it as well but I couldn't. Guess it was put dere 4 d waec candidates who filled AR during reg so dat dey can upload dia results since it's out now.

Well, i thought uploading result ish is only applicable to guys who wants to change his/her course to another one, but i may be wrong, i frequently am, And if i am wrong, i want to be put right. Am here to learn.
Let's examine the facts.
Many thanks.

babatee2013: merit list will be out today o
sure source

It will meet us in good health.
Let's learn to remain patient, Nothing good comes easy.

No one is even saying anything about the uploading of O'level result the other guy suggested yesterday.
Guess, the information is false.

sathel: Guys unilag has opened the O'level result uploading portal.plz make sure u fill in the gap if u did nt feel in the gap and doz dat filled AR(awaiting result) should go and complete it now or before 22nd august 2014...

Hi Sathel,
Nothing of such seems available on the School website, Could you please post the link?

ibadanfinest: Will the waiting ever be over? At first it was waiting for when I was gonna write jamb exam, after then waiting for when I would write unilag putme followed by waiting for the cut off, now it is waiting for list/coc. Soon it will be waiting for when we go resume. Good night fellow Nairalamders.

That's life for you.

Getting a scholarship to study at Harvard University itself is an achievement on its own, let alone studying there and bagging a degree,
OP, as an undergraduate, if i am in my final semester, am gonna bone it and leave for Harvard kia kia.
Did you know the number of recruiters that come to there campus to recruit fresh graduates?
On the other hand, being a PA to Dangote, Money would come and go.
Open your eyes........
The Nigga mentality is that......'wetin i wan go school for? No be because of money?'
I think it's hightime we started working on being not on having.
Believe me, with an Harvard University degree, Life becomes easier!

ayozainy: I wud celebrate wen i see my name on d merit list buh above all i cant jst stp thanking God. He has been there 4 me all d way. ALLIHAMDULLILLAHI

Zainab, congrats, more power to your elbow.

2B1ASK1: Congratulations to all those who made the merit score and all those who will succeed via change of course. I am a future aspirant into Unilag by God's grace. I am currently in SS3 and I would like you guys to please give me an insight into your post UME questions, as in, how many questions in all. How many english , maths and general paper. And the english , is there any comprehension passage etc, and the maths, is it calculus , further maths or what?.
Please successful Akokites, am sorry if i may be drawing you backwards, am just preparing for the next admission in 2015/16.
God bless you as you respond and give me insight.
Thank you kindly.

I don't believe you should be bothering yourself about UNILAG postUTME at the moment, your focus now ought to be how you are going to put UTME into its knee, nevertheless, they say ''no Knowledge is wasted''.

Go and re-read your SSCE notes and texts, and re-solve the pastquestions as well.
Go ahead and solve JAMB pastquestions too, get JAMB recommended textbooks.
Those textbooks would not only help you in JAMB but would also help you in POSTUTME.
Note of caution: Never prepare for JAMB without a brochure.
Wishing you the very best.
Keep focus.

macheda494:
Yes.....hope u met the cut-off?

Yes, had 58.63

Harjibode: Not even a Thank you to the person that post it.........your bad

macheda494: Thank God......I had 60.75...cut off is 53

Congrat Macheda, Maths right?, am going for Maths as well.

Glory be to Almighty God in his highest.

It's hightime this thread started gearing up.

The link is not opening,

What's up guys?

edmmanuel01: Whether it is talked abt or not, cut-off will be released when it will be released. Whether it is talked abt or not, admission list will come out when it will come out. No amount of anxiety n nervousness can change anyfin. I just pray no one will be admitted into d hospital due to worry n stress instead of d University. What will be will be. All things work 2geda 4 gud 2 dem that love Christ. Just pray dat all things will work 2geda 4 u n I. Good morning.

Early morning tonic, May God in his infinity mercy bless you bountifully for this.

Quote noticed

How are you doing, ma'am? Candidly speaking, EINSTEINPG is amazing! I asked the question in order to be sure of my perception.

I'm doing very great my deary bro, Even though UNILAG has refused to release his cut-off point,
hmmmm.... So by now you should have been wholly sure of that your perception.

One of the reasons i love Nairaland, you definitely learn here. Great forum!
I thought you choosed FUNAAB?

EINSTEINPG: The only thing growing faster than the sticker price on a college education may be the debate around the value of one- particular if a student majors in something with no obvious pathway to a decent job.
In January, President Barack Obama inadvertently caused a bit of an uproar when he questioned the value of a degree in art history while he was talking about better aligning job-training programmes with empolyer's needs. Mr Obama later sent a handwritten apology note to a unversity of Texas art historian who took offense at the remark.
Apologies aside, the question of what a student should major in and what sort of return on investment it can generate is becoming an increasingly important question, as families struggle to pay for school fee.
As the economic value of education increases, we will need to remember that education, especially higher education, is about more than Naira and Kobo. It should do more than provide foot soldiers for the Nigerian economy. Educators in both secondary and postsecondary institutions have cultural and political missions to ensure that there is an educated citizenry that can continue to defend and promote our democratic ideals.
Incentivizing routes to specific fields is very challenging indeed-especially given the volatility in the economy. Hot fields come and go, but careers are life choices, not stock picks. We certainly need more scientists,engineers and mathematicians, but we also need college graduates who are willing to work in important fields (like education or social work) that don't pay as well, but also may be highly rewarding.
It takes much more than a major to get a great education. Rather, students should look for a college or university that has organized its educational programmes, curriculum and co-curriculum-to help students build big-picture knowledge of the world around them; develop high-level skills they will need for careers, civil society and their own lives; acquire real-world practice and experience; and above all, to find their own sense of purpose and vocation in the largest sense of that term.
AMEN....and to your dispassionate question, WHY MATHEMATICS? Have you heard of STEM programme? Besides, I am such an ambitious fellow with revolutionary ideas. Opting for mathematics as first degree will serve as the springboard on which an impeccable foundation will be secured as regard the achievement of the ultimate goals I have set for myself. Of course, the economic reality of the nation is well taken into consideration that there is hardly a high paying job for mathematics majors besides teaching. But I realized that virtually everything in Nigeria is under utilized. Honestly, I am not going to the university to be trained to become a sought-after fellow by employers by amassing good grades, but rather, to acquire real education via a properly trained mind. For real education transcends good grades and when the chips are down only properly trained mind can come to one's rescue. Although good grades should be seen as necessary steps to get promoted to the next academic level. So don't misinterpret my views of good grade backlash.
In today's information-overloaded world, the modern citizen is routinely confronted by a maze of numbers and data of various forms. To be able to make sense of out of this, an increased knowledge of mathematics is at the heart of many of today's advancements in science and technology and are contributing to progress in other fields such as industrial and architectural design, economics, biology, linguistics, and psychology. Study mathematics can provide one with a competitive advantage in many fields. An undergraduate degree in mathematics can also give one a firm foundation for further study in a variety of other disciplines. @rkarang. Please do forgive what some Nairalanders would label lengthy rants and be objective in your critical assessment of my rationale for vying for mathematics.

Frankly, it saddens me seeing Nigeria graduates and Students referring Mathematics Students/Graduates as Mathematics teachers to be.
Job well done either dude or babe.
I cherish your analytical writing skill, only few Mathematics students/aspirants can boast of that.
I am also looking forward to studying the aforesaid subject but in another institution.
I wish you all the best.
Rjkang, i sight you.
Best regards.
