Thanks. Yes Work and pray, not pray without work.

Goddys: @ dondee.
You seem not to precisely comprehend the wordings of my text.I have undergone this process,and have stated without reserve the outcome of my subjective inquiry of the source of unilag post utme using unilag past post utme questions as a case of study.However,it was a deductive exercise which had proven to be effective in the past.That was what i meant by 'prima facie',and it is a contract which is not imposed on anybody.For your information,the contract is devoid of any form of illegality,since i do not claim to pragmatically have the knowledge of the forth-coming unilag post utme.If you however
think that the above contract is illegal and fraudulent,i would like you to report me to the office of the Dean of Law Faculty,Unilag.My student I.D card is attached beneath my original post.
It is very recondite to me,why everybody is taken to be a scam or dupe.Be wise not to associate everybody with fraud,especially lawyers-in-the making.

@bolded, what is your definition of comprehension. I was only saying your language is too 'high' for your intended audience.
@ d second bolded,If you have no skeleton in your cupboard, why are you terrified. More so, I wish you know I don't have all the time to be little myself to that extent. If the name you gave in your post was your real name, I don't need go to your dean to melt punishment on you in a situation where you're guilty - is a small world mostly when we're talking about 'UNILAG' here.
I never said and would never say without prove that you're a scam or dupe but let us search our conscience.
Stay save man!

Goddys: It is said that 'experience is the best teacher'.This assertion was made by John Locke to depict the efficacy of empiricism.[/b]I am Nwokedi Godwin,a 200 level law student at unilag.I am here to enter into an executory contract with any willing prospective unilag law candidate who wishes to gain admission into this honourable institution in this academic year.
The terms of the contract is that i will equip you with all necessary materials and questions(including unilag past post-utme questions and internal examination questions for 100 level unilag students,et cetera)[b].After a well-thought enquiry and observation,i came to a prima facie knowledge that these are the the primary derivative source for unilag post-utme question.My transaction is restricted to prospective law candidates alone as they will not evade the completion of their own agreement as they gain admission into faculty of law.If per-adventure,any party to this contract fails to reach the hallmark score of 70% in his or her unilag post-utme(not aggregate score),the contract is treated as rescinded and revoked.If any party to this contract eventually get up to the hallmark score of 70% in his or her unilag post-utme(not aggregate score),it is upon such person to fufil the agreement of this contract.My primary concern is to aid you legally reach a peak score that may earn you admission into unilag faculty of law.
The obligation on the part of any party to this contract,is to indicate an interest by sending his e-mail address to me,because all the materials will be send to the person's e-mail,as they have been turned to a soft-copy.The charges to the above services is the sum of twenty thousand naira only.Three thousand naira is to be paid after i must have sent the first material to your e-mail.The rest seventeen thousand is to be paid after you must have make a hallmark score of 70%(not aggregate score) in your unilag post-utme.My e-mail address is kleanguy@yahoo.com

@bolded, as long as you'd try to impress here, unfortunately you can't communicate. Why, when your message is not decipher, the purpose of communication is overly defeated. As a lawyer in the making in a third world, after your modus operandi, intuitively accessing the literacy weight of your client is paramount in knowing the language to use. Do you think after using all these 'grammar' guys here would start contacting you. Do you even know the service you intend offering is a breach of law whose punishment is tantamount to jail? And you're a lawyer!
More so, do you know the chairman of UNILAG admission committee is from your faculty (can't mention names here), and she dare not make this claim to even her own child(she don't have a prospective student as a child though). Can't we do things in this part of the world without selfish interest and taking chances on others?
Are there different questions for prospecting law students from others, who set and mark POST-UTME in UNILAG? Answer here and I shall 'give' you twenty law candidates instantly - 20k abi?

engineerd: If you want to Downgrade your JAMB score, please call me on 080 445 6345, before its too late! Ask for Dr. Jaja.

Keep on deceiving yourself...

viccipedia: @clemzy, hope dey my broda, just go and buy change of course immediately and look for skools who take 180 as their cut off nd my broda pray and look for good runz. The lord is your strenght

What runz?

I stopped commenting on this thread because of unnecessary 'call me' to purchase this and that and repetition of already answered questions from prospective students. If u guys can start behaving mature, I can continue to contribute my 2 cent.

Ok, lets do something. If you follow this thread, after checking your UTME result, if you score 200 and above and you stay close to UNILAG and willing to put out fourteen (14) days for intensive post-JAMB clinic (tutorials) for FREE. Just indicate here with a YES, plz don't write anything else. This is an idea in conception so the numbers of interested people will determine it fruition or the opposite.

Is they anybody following this thread that wants to apply to any school via JAMB direct entry? The form is on sales, lets do it together if you need guidance.

Adeyoola Adeyanju: pls lets stop deceiving each othe! Who has realy obtain d form?

You're alloowed to do 4 two..

karoenajemo: i chose mass communication in unilag,but i dont know if this combination is ok:Eng,gov,crs,lit

ah, but why CRS? anywhere, ensure u read hard 2 make Mass Comm, any course outside mass com with d above combination will affect u negatively...Best wishes.

tanimola22: Indeed Don1Dee, not all of us will go the oil route. Very well said there, I must confess.

Ryerson University in Canada is not a bad idea. See http://www.ryerson.ca/graduate/admissions/index.html. They offer funding for Early Childhood Education, but you still have to prove that you have sufficient funds to cover your studies and living expenses in Canada. The requirement is a B average, which is equivalent to a 2:2 by the WES standards. See http://www.wes.org/gradeconversionguide/index.asp. You will need about $6500 for school fees alone. This is one of the few programs that have continued to accept applications even though the deadlines had long passed. The application fee is $100. I particularly presented Ryerson University to you because it is a lot much cheaper. You may check it out.

For the top 10 Education Programs in the US, see http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-education-schools/edu-rankings. A rough ranking of Early Childhood Education Colleges can be found here http://www.campusexplorer.com/colleges/major/61520316/Teacher-Training/4BBC102B/Early-Childhood-Education/.

The job market for educational analyst (especially positions in early childhood education) has always been favorable and will continue to be promising because not many people compete to fill up these positions. However, more often than not, one would have to take a state's Education Board Skills Test. In California, for example, it used to be possible to grant test waivers for some teachers, especially those interning as teachers. I hear that this is no more the case.

I must say that the route you are taking is not the conventional gbogbo ero route. I suspect that you will face less competition and have more opportunities. The field is still very far away from saturation. Before it will saturate, people like you will have gone very far. There is a field called behavioral economics/finance. Very few people are into it, and so there are still plenty of opportunities in the field. This is a hint for those interested to fully take advantage of it.

Thanks T22, you're always on point!@bolded, presenting Ryerson to me on reason is cheap, how about its quality?

tanimola22: This is very nice, and your preference of wanting to first gather some industry experience in the field of petroleum engineering is almost surely consistent with those of other engineering grads that I know. My friend who studied petroleum engineering had your view, and he luckily landed a job with Total few months after concluding NYSC. He is on 11 Million Naira per annum; so you may want to try your luck there too, when you graduate as a petroleum engineer.

I don't know how higher than 4.6 your GPA currently is, and I also don't know the level you are at the moment (whether 300L, 400L, or even 500L), but I believe, from experience, that it is possible to improve your GPA above what it is now. Try as much as possible to do that. A high GPA is always an advantage. In fact, it would be nice if you could target and achieve 5.00 from now on till you graduate. Trust me, this is very possible. And the good thing about this is that many schools in North America, especially schools in Canada and the US, specifically look at the grades you obtained in your last two years of studies as a way of evaluating your transcript(s). I have seen cases where boundary first guys (4.5-4.55) got very nice offers from top schools around the world because, even though they did not start very well, they had almost 5.00 in the last two years of their studies. Please take note of this, and take advantage of it. I would not have said this if you had already graduated, but I am saying this because you are still an undergrad and you can still make your situation better.

In case, upon graduation, you are not able to secure a very nice job that suits your taste, and you still desire to pursue a Master's in Petroleum Engineering, then I would advise that you take up the graduate research position, preferably work as a research assistant to a prof who is heavy in any research area that interests you, do it for one year and apply to all those top schools around the world. Of course, if you are gunning for the US, you first must have gotten very nice scores on the GRE and TOEFL tests. The reason I suggest working as a research assistant for one year is that the very top engineering schools around the world, such as MIT, Stanford and others, very much value research experience. Again, I have heard of cases where students were accepted into top research schools in the US and elsewhere just because they previously worked as research assistants in very relevant fields. So you may want to take very good advantage of this.

I earnestly believe that you have little to no problems at all. Try to up your already great GPA, take and ace the GRE and TOEFL. For the GRE, I suggest you concentrate more on the quantitative section because this is the area most programs are interested in. Don't kill yourself on the verbal part, although it would be nice if you could make a great score there. I guess someone with your IQ should score nothing less than >94th percentile on the quantitative section, >70th on the verbal section and perhaps >4.5/6 on the analytical writing section( I don't know how well you write, but you can always practice and score well). When you are armed with all these things, make sure you have some money to pay application fees. The application fee for each university in the US can be as high as 60$-100$. At times it can be more sef. However, if you know a prof who is ready to stick his neck out for you, then you escape paying the application fees at some universities. I for one did not have to pay any fees because I was familiar with some profs who aggressively supported my application .

The following schools should be your main focus:
Cambridge University: I am not sure if Petroleum Engineering is offered there, but I know they have Chemical Engineering. Also, the Gates Scholarship for very qualified students like you is not bad. You can get it, although the competition is fierce. Four people I know got it; 2 studied Mathematics, the other 2 studied Chemical Engineering. I particularly like Cambridge University because the academic work there is rigorous. You either shape in or shape out! I will not divulge more information than this, which is in fact what you need

Stanford University: A nairalander and one of our proud alumni did his PhD there. It is almost sure that you will land a top oil job in the US soon after your studies at Stanford University. For an instance, the said nairalander (username withheld) is a researcher at Mobil and, from what he has remarked, chances of getting top oil jobs are high after graduate studies at Stanford. The monthly stipend they give to graduate students is usually not bad. You can be a teaching assistant/research assistant, which means you have to teach undergraduates/do research with a prof before you earn the stipend, or you can get a fellowship, which means you don't have to teach nada. All you need to do is sit down and make a high GPA hahahaha. But getting a fellowship can be a pain in some US schools.

MIT: This one is among the best of the best engineering schools around the world, if not the best sef. Do your best to enter this one. This is the more reason why you have to make your GPA as high as possible, get great letters of recommendation from the best profs you can approach, score highly on the standardized tests and generally package your application very well. In my experience, a well packaged application will always not hurt you. I have had some academic opportunities, which other more able and qualified people could not have, simply because I have consistently packaged my applications very well. Use this trick.

Other very excellent schools you should try are Oxford University (UK), University of California at Berkley (US), Texas A&M (US), University of Houston, Caltech (US), Yale (US), Colorado School of Mines (US), TU Delft (Holland----a nairalander who graduated from your school FUTA did his MSc there and afterwards got 3 oil jobs and 6-11 PhD positions. He rejected all PhD positions. hahahaha. You too can surely achieve the same feat or even better), Manchester (UK), Toronto (Buhari ),Mc Gill(Canada). In fact, the list goes on. Another strong advice I would like to offer is that you certainly should not apply to only the very top schools. You have to diversify your applications. Endeavor to apply to schools that are not very high up there. You may still get a good offer after your studies. For instance, Louisiana may not be the best university to study your course. However, oil companies have consistently visited the university to recruit graduating students. In the same vein, I have two senior colleagues who completed their fully funded PhD programs at Heriot Watt University. One works for Schlumberger, the other works for Total. Don't look down on some schools.

In my experience, I have found that Nigerian students who graduated tops in oil and gas engineering related programs in the US got more oil job offers than their fellow Nigerian counterparts in the UK. For example, one of the Cambridge guys I earlier spoke about came back to naija after his studies because he was unable to get a juicy job and never applied for any PhD position. Till now, it has not been easy for him to land the big oil job he envisaged. The other one successfully got a place at Shell UK. Many others I know, they had to accept PhD positions in Chemical/Petroleum Engineering because the juicy jobs just weren't forthcoming and they needed to get a steady source of income. A PhD offers that steady source of income for the duration of the PhD program and even beyond. That is why I am an advocate of using a PhD to hedge against one's inability to get a juicy job. Nonetheless, I am sure that you may also give many examples based on your experience in which many UK trained Nigerian graduates got juicy jobs after graduation. There is no one hard and fast rule; nothing is particularly straight.

On a last note, if you desire to get very close to the major oil company in Saudi (Saudi Aramco), if you desire to get into a graduate program that funds your studies without your having to pay for accommodation, bills, taxes, transportation and other utilities, if you are strongly looking to earn about 20k$-30k$/year while studying, without having to spend a dime from this money other than feeding yourself, then look no further than KAUST (Saudi). In my view, and based on my research and information from friends there, KAUST offers the best funding package anyone can ask for. I am yet to see an institution that funds as much and still pays for bills and provides a very nice accommodation for all of its students, all at the same time. However, and very sadly so, the downside to KAUST is that it is relatively new university and has zero track record. You may want to strongly consider this very important shortcoming.

Hope this story story story helps.

Truly yours,
T22

Boss, you are best of a kind.
Can you elaborate on Education PG studies in U.S and Canada like the above? Not all of us will go the oil route! Tnx.

damoskiy: pls i choose unilag 1st choice for marine biology and fisheries.what are my chances of entering because i'm tired of sitting at home

Go & ace your UTME first. One step @ a time.

canadian_love: ..Dondee...do you have an idea of what u just said...Diploma EXISTS in unilag..pls if u dont know its being runned in the uni...its just dat i felt it shuld be abt now,...the form shuld be out ...dats all

Dear, with almost humility, they is nothing academics you'll tell me about UNILAG that i don't know. Every tom, dick and harry knows about UNILAG DIPLOMA. The ISC of Federal Ministry of Education placed embargo on DIPLOMA, according to them UNILAG is using the medium to milked people fund - 350k no b beans. What UNILAG is doing now is to justify the fee & d relevance of the programme. They is already light insight in revoking the ban. When this is sorted they can start selling the form by early May for N16,200.

Few hours to UTME, may God grant u all success.

@ T22, can u shed light on ten top Universities in U.S for postgraduate studies in Education with particular interest in Early Childhood Education, Child and Developmental psychology. Plz give hint on estimated finance involved if possible.

Tnx.

So many typo errors. Hope u decipher the message.

canadian_love: is unilag diploma form out? pls, i want to get the form.

No.
They is an issue between UNILAG and Federal Ministry of Education, the later is claiming the former is using d medium to milk people's end money. So as we speak Diploma does not exist. Do UNILAG is doing something about it.

A thread for this already exist, check out here,www.nairaland.com/833945/university-lagos-2012-2013-admission/1#msg9865168

Hey! Happy Sunday 2 U. Hope you've finish d two books - Successors & d potter's wheel JAMB asked all candidates to read on the use of English? 25 questions are coming from there. Its less than 12days to d exam!

aliandro:
Aw does lag choose pple base on locality.would dey choose all dat beat d cut off mark for dere locality.i nid a prompt answer.

Anywhere u hail from, beat cut-off mark and you'll have your admission on merit, I think UTME should be the focus for now,

Imagine a cab burning to ashes this evening in UNILAG without rescue from d fire service on campus. According to the FS operatives no water, no gas and your professors are buying new cars every day, 1hr 38mins after fire extinguisher from Ikeja now came. Guess what there got from students-STONES, Is UNILAG really d University of first choice & d nation's pride, plus, where are we going as a nation?

@gokuu, stop attacking personalities but rather attack d issue, Show me a university where priority is placed on social life at d expense of academic work and i will show u unilag, show me a university where u see questions b4 exams and i will show u UNILAG, My dear broda, swallow ur pride and take humble pie, Those guys are only good for third class in OAU,

Plz come and prove/show me d bolded. Social life? Ask U.S & U.K HR department why Africans often don't get a place in IB,

The making of the perfect adult academically and otherwise is not the university's per se, but d primary and secondary school. Do u think some parents are mad to be paying 600k fees per term for secondary school, while UNILAG fee is 10k? The foundation matters a lot my people,

I saw one scenario b/4 d strike, one lecturer ask freshers in one dept. in the faculty of education to summarize a paper. One 17yr. old girl wrote a write up u can only see in the ECONOMIST. Guess what? Researching online yester night, I saw her verbatim write up in one of d world most reputable management journal authored by the lecturer. And this is a girl that did not meet up the cut-off mark to study IRPM that she did wanted and hadn't G.P yet. In fact, she was "helped" to that education course. The foundation matters a lot.

Pardon my many typographical and spelling errors. Rushing to do other things. Most noticeable: climb not claim this mountain.

Hey guys! You just have to read very hard, extremely hard and be smart. Do u know some caucus in NUC and Federal Ministry of Edu. are making drastic effort to stop UNILAG diploma. Reason? I don't know yet In fact. On black and white Diploma no longer exist, quote me anywhere. But, trust d school management they are working tool and nail to opposing this in all ways. Losing 350k from thousands of people no be beans ooo. But, what if they fail? What I'm I saying, the competition for a place will be too tedious. So put up strategies to claim this mountain.
