Thank you.

Well beauty and brains rarely mix.

And besides, females are not designed to handle analytic and logical issues; they rely more on emotions.

Even the Vice Chancellor of harvard once said that females were not capable of handling hard sciences.


And... You guessed it : those femnists made a whole issue out of it.


Your meme is Crazy :
Sociology students in my Uni will kill you if they see it

I think I understand the perspective you are coming from but I am afraid you're are so wrong. I am not a fan of feminism and I will never be (because I believe its fundamental principles and probable aims are flawed), however, I think the reason you think this way is due to the way some professions have been gender-tainted. I have seen MANY female students who perform excellently well and much better than their male counterparts in STEM courses.

Beauty and brains don't mix? Lol... That's another unfounded claim.

So, UI has finally been shut down for 7 weeks over students' protest.

Couver:








Well done Dokita Dave...............And good luck in your exams

Oga mi sir... Thank you so much.

holuwajobar:
atleast i can have someone like u to look up to wen i geh admitted to UI

We can always look up to God through Christ and we are sure we won't go wrong brother.

Nonetheless, trust me, you can be sure of a nice and warm reception in our family-like department. Personally, I am eager to receive you, Bobola and other dental aspirants here in UI come January next year.

CondomSir:


You must be a medical student. I wish you success in your examinations.

You are right. I am a year one dental student. I appreciate your exam wish. God bless you brother.

holuwajobar:
God bless u fr takin ur time to explain all this...... Now am 100percent sure that i ddnt make the wrong choice...... Am very grateful

I am glad you got the message. Best of God brother.

Bobola07:


success in your exams oga mi

Thank you so much sir.

cc dearpiriye DokitaDave

I am not too certain but I hear people talk about the possibility of crossing over from Physiology if you are among the top performing students after the first year.

holuwajobar:
any idea of UI school fee last year

I am not sure if students in all faculties paid the same amount, but first year students of the College of Medicine and Faculty of Science paid N24,750 as tuition. That's separate from the N14,000 for accommodation and N30,000 admission acceptance fee.

CondomSir:
No UI male student is here.. why

There are. I am one too. Just like Bobola07 wrote, we've been writing tests lately and exams start in about a week time, so that might have kept a lot of students busy.

Annibiteye:

Courageous spirit, and it will surely work for you

DokitaDave, where are you? Come enlighten your coursemate to be

Thank you for calling my attention to this ma.

Firstly, let me also salute your courage for holding your head up high in the face of public ignorance even when you seem not to totally understand what is obtainable in Dentistry and Dental Surgery.

So many people (including prospective undergraduates) do not understand the nitty-gritty of Dentistry, hence they do not appreciate it or pick it as a choice course, as the case may be. (By the way, this is somewhat to the advantage of the usually few dental applicants because this sort of brings the cut-off mark down each year)

In simple terms, I'll say Dentistry and Dental Surgery is basically a specialty in medicine that allows you to specialize right from your undergraduate days. Some arguments I read about Dentistry and Dental Surgery on social media are not accurate and thus misleading.

Right from your first year till about after your first year in UCH, BDS and MBBS students take thesame courses all through. Infact, dental students offer more courses. Dental students write more MB (professional medical exams) than MBBS guys. We both spend thesame number of years in school and we do things together many times.

I don't want to sound like someone trying to glorify a course above another because we are both workers in the medical field. BDS and MBBS graduates are regarded as Doctors. They both belong to thesame professional body (NMA) and the prospect is thesame in Nigeria (that's if Dental graduates don't even have upper hand due to the fewer graduates been churned out in the country each year). What about pay? In Nigeria, BDS and MBBS graduates earn thesame using thesame salary scale. In some other western worlds (like the US), dentists earn more than their counterparts.

What else?

My friend, you have made the right choice and you shouldn't be discouraged by the wrong arguments you find in many public spheres.

Let me know if there are some other things you are still not clear about please.

Hello people... Is application for this award currently ongoing? I saw an advert on its website for the 2017/2018 award.

I have just seen this thread. I wish all the aspirants the best of God. Study hard and pray; with those steps, you'll be favoured. I will be around to help with answering some of your questions.

Goodluck!

Hello Bobola,

I have replied your mail. Did you get it please?

abimbawealth:

Thanks, the screen was changed...at no cost tho, but i'm done with them

Wow... Congratulations and I hope it continues to work fine.

As for me, Tecno has made me see hell in the last two weeks. I have never been this frustrated in my entire life (no exaggeration). The new touch pad that was put on my phone stopped responding that same evening (Tuesday). I have been there all working days of this week; Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and today, Friday. Each time I go, their engineer do something on it but in less than 12 hours, it goes bad. I am a student, with several tests lined up for the coming week but yet, CarlCare continues to act 'smart' towards me despite the fact the company is at complete fault.

I requested for a swap but CarlCare keeps playing me around, maybe because I have been keeping a cool face. By next week, God willing, CarlCare will definitely hear from me in the only manner these companies (thinking Nigerians are fools) understand. I know it is going to be 'fun' here next week.

abimbawealth:

Power and Volume button seized working... Took it down to where i got it, was directed to carlcare and it was fixed, but the power button issue resurfaced precisely 17th last month, carlcare did something to it, it worked, till this morning again...you can imagine

Hmmmm... It is really sad. So sorry about that and I hope you take it back there and it is fixed for you at no extra cost.

I haven't had a good experience with Tecno too. The touch pad of my phone acted up again last Friday after it was supposedly 'fixed' at CarlCare in Ibadan. I was advised to change the touch pad which I had to do eventually. Imagine spending N21,900 to replace the touch pad of a phone that is less than two weeks old. It's so sad for me. But once I am done with this current phone, I will say bye to all these MTK phones (especially Tecno).

abimbawealth:
Can't believe i will take this phone back to carlcare for the 3rd time in 3months for the same complaint that developed just 2days after i got the phone.. .Tecno is a brand i'ld never trust again. As a first timer, I'm highly disappointed

Hi, sorry about your phone. What went wrong with the phone two days after you got it please?

CarlcareOpebi:

Good morning @DokitaDave Send a picture of the dent, your actual name & phone number to our inbox please. The warranty on your phone does not cover physical damages, hence the Price notification.

Alright. I just sent you a mail request now. You need to confirm the request via the email attached to your account for me to send a proper inbox message please.

So if one did not study medicine , dentistry or any of all the shitty paramedical courses then he couldn't aachieve anything in life? no wonder doctors are committing suicide and dentist are disillusioned. Doctors collect #500perhour and u feel it's a thing of pride, while private practice for dentists are so limited they pray for government jobs or earn 70k per month and have to wear ties and a white coat on it. In my next world I would love to be a doctor but not in Nigeria because I have no regard for medical practice in Nigeria.

I didn't see the need to continue joining issues with a stubborn and ignorant person like you at first but on a second thought after I went through some of your posts here, I think it is so obvious why you cannot cope with your low self-esteem, perhaps you gave up your dream of becoming a doctor (maybe even a dental surgeon) after several failed attempts.

The bolded portion of your response up there tells the obvious. Notwithstanding, I'll advise you to save yourself the stress of pouring out your ignorance here. I know the medical practitioners here responding to your posts are not doing that because of you persay but because of many feeble and innocent minds reading your thrash.

CarlcareOpebi:

Hello @DokitaDave Visit the Carlcare Service Centre closest to you for assistance; Your touchpad will be replaced. Let us know your location so that we can forward one to you. Thank you!

Thank you for the response.

I was at the CarlCare office in Ibadan this morning to complain. The lady that attended to me told me that she could have replaced it save for the little dent on top of the phone (the phone dropped on my shoe during the weekend). But that wasn't why it acted up initially.

So, she took the phone from me and told me to wait for half an hour. I was called back in less than 20 minutes and my phone responded normally again. When I asked her what was wrong, she told me the touch pad is having issues but their engineer did "something" to bring it up again. I don't know the something and I didn't bother to ask.

I asked if my phone will continue to work normally now, but she said I may need to replace the touch pad. She told me that if I want to replace the touch pad, I will have to pay about N21,000. Imagine? A new phone that is barely 5 days old. I can't still understand how a new phone can have touch pad issue. It's discouraging of the brand to be honest with you.

Is there anything I can still do about it please.

Hello Carlcaresophia, CarlCareOpebi and Other Reps,

I trust you're fine.

I got a new Tecno L9 Plus last week and it has been working fine until this afternoon. I plugged it to charge but when I got back to check the phone, the screen touch isn't responding again. All the side buttons are working fine.

I had put the phone in Ultra Power mode before charging, so whenever I unlock it with the fingerprint option, a message is stuck to the screen reading "Google Play services isn't responding" with the options to "close app", " wait" and "send feedback". However, I cannot click any of those options because the screen touch is not responding. I cannot power off the phone too since I need to select the shut down option after a long press of the power button. The battery too is inbuilt. I am a bit confused on how to resolve this please.

Kindly put me through.

Regards,
David

Kids have taken over nairaland. No intelligent and deep research again before commenting. Where are the geniuses of the old days. Seun needs to do something before u people pull down this forum. If the way u are responding is ur thinking ability them u can't be passed as an adult. God help u.

Omonoba1:
stop displaying your ignorance here... Better still,, keep quiet next time!

Thank you sirs for educating that man.

sgtponzihater:


Ur brain needs resetting. Tell me what's wrong with my comments. Are dentist Medical doctors a big no. A medical doctor studied medicine and surgery and has MBBS. Are dentists as respected as medical doctors, hell no. You and I know that what I say is the truth. At least I'm talking from a neutral point of view Dokitadave who is probably a dentist.

Well, I think the problem here is ignorance coupled with the zero will to learn. Since you can insist a Dentist isn't a doctor, then, you obviously ain't willing to learn. Is an Opthamologist a doctor? Is a Gynaecologist a doctor? Can we call a Neurosurgeon a doctor? Can we say an Oral and Maxilofacial surgeon is a doctor? Infact, who is a doctor?

I think we should start from there. If you take off the mindset to attack and patiently research on those questions and answer them accurately, then, I think you should be fine.

donbenie:
Funny you should be the one shouting don't mislead the public while you're doing exactly THAT, Dentistry is a branch of medicine that specializes in the oral and maxillofacial region of the body just like there are other medical specialties eg ENT,Ophthalmology..
I take it you don't know anything about the curriculum of Dental Surgery,a Dentist do know ALL about the human body since he only deviate from his general medical colleauges after the fourth year..
In other climes you specializes in Dentistry after doing your first degree in Medicine and if Dentists are not Medical Doctors why is it under the Nigerian Medical Association..

God bless your knowledge sir.

sgtponzihater:


Pls Dentists are not medical doctors don't mislead the public. A medical doctor studied medicine and surgery. Dentist are rather referred to as dental surgeons. Again there are no better course, fill the course you are passionate about and not what people tell u. If u choose either course without being passionate about it u either get kicked out or frustrated in the end. But if you want to know all about the human body and cause alot of good in the world become a medical doctor and give in ur best but if u are scared of cutoff mark field in dentistry because medicine is for the smartest.

This is the most gullible comment I have read on Nairaland lately. No pun intended sir.

Aeronautic engineering as a course is now accredited in Kwasu, just some couples of weeks ago. That makes it the first university in Nigeria to run aeronautic engineering.

I have always known that school to be a great school. It has the potential to lead other state universities and even beat many federal universities in terms of standard. The exposure some of their students are given is absent for many students of the so called leading federal universities. Kudos to KWASU.
