Hi greatest medics,

If you're an active Reddit user, you might have noticed that posts and discussions specifically relevant to the Nigerian medical system are hard to come by on Reddit. That is exactly why a new subreddit dedicated to us medics in this country has been created.


Join using the link below, if you're a medical student or aspirant in Nigeria; let's share ideas and motivate each other! If you've not registered on Reddit before, I advice you do so and make sure to join the community; you won't regret it.

Current doctors and other health professionals are also very much welcome!


Our hope is to have a few hundred or even up to a thousand members in a vibrant, active community. Where questions on study tips, tools, resources and more would be posted and answeers would be provided and discussed by a student body from different medical schools across the Country!


Check out these other subreddits below to have an idea of what I'm taking about.

Please, I need help!!!
I tried registering for uniport putme and it cannot verify my reg no. I was told it was cause they were not my first choice.
A week plus ago I made it first choice but still the portal can not verify my reg no. Registration is closing soon, what do i do.

Mail jamb and visit the uniport ICTC.

Find out whose side the problem is coming from.

Jamb probably hasn't sent an updated list to uniport

patd113:
his first choice is Uniben

Ask here
https://www.nairaland.com/5166081/2019-2020-uniben-admission-guide/21

or the medical student forum, here
https://www.nairaland.com/1049407/medical-students-aspirants-thread

Someone will definitely give you legit info in either threads

patd113:
My Brother wrote NECO last Year cuz of some financial issue he could not apply for any school so we are financially stable now and he is planning to write jamb but he is not sure if he will get admitted with this Result if he score high in jamb.
Maths C6
Physics C6
Chem C6
Bio C5
English C4
agric C5
Civic C5
Animal husbandry C5
CRS C6

Certain schools consider O'levels grades, but most don't. At least I know Uniport doesn't. Provided he doesn't apply to those schools that use O'levels(they're not that many), he'll be fine

He already has 5 credits in his relevant courses, his main problem is getting a high utme and post utme score.
Let him calm down and get reading. His O'levels is not a problem.


Good luck to him

bassnaija:
Well, say what you like.

This is not a SCAM

This is what my Uncle has been doing for years to raise his family.
He's known even in Church as someone that will help anyone get UNIPORT admission for a fee.

I just want to help him get people here

Then create a thread and advertise your "sure" admission there.

This is not a place for that

Dayvidblue:
I've gone through HTML and CSS and believe I have understood enough to start with but JAVASCRIPT seems so vague and incomprehensible.
I'll appreciate any help guys.

That's because JavaScript is where the actual programming starts.

It won't be any easier.

Get some JavaScript books like Eloquent JavaScript and some videos from YouTube. It'll get clearer the more you practice.

saheedniyi22:
Thanks.

If you do get it to work, kinda share so myself and others can reference it in the future

saheedniyi22:
Thanks for this.


Do you know how I can save my environmental variable like email, password and secret key��?

I'm still learning so I've never had to do that.

Try it and see or Google search, a lot of people use termux

NorthPrince:
Downloaded the anwriter code editor. Can you please take me through the next stel

Get a book or use the many online resources w3schools, freecodecamp or MDN.
i recommend MDN though, personal preference.
Start coding, start with HTML then CSS then JavaScript.

devbits:
Let me speak from both a job hunter and a programmer's experience...

In Nigeria there are more PHP jobs than Python. But me I will still stick to python and be wooing Golang.
About Frontend Framework... I cant deceive you m also in this field
companies both abroad and Naija Here prefer React, although some are transitioning to Vue because of simplicity but react still has the highest percentage.. as for angular those that are still using it do so because its part of their tech and transitioning may cost some cash and technical issues.

Punchline
If you are in Nigeria and want fast Job no matter the language you write.... know php
and a vue react

@bolded, why are you still with python... and for Golang, I only hear foreigners talk about it.

tensazangetsu20:
Bros I am also in the same boat. I started learning nodejs. Dropped PHP for it since node is JavaScript and is want to spend more time mastering JavaScript but most job vacancies from big companies. Companies that can big salaries and sponsor work visas then to require c# as a language and angular as a framework. Na small startups wey no get money dey use node

No clear path at all.
There's more than 5 backend languages, each (Python and php at least) has more than 5 backend frameworks. That's about 25 paths to follow
It's confusing making a pick.

There's also the React/Vue/Angular question that also doesn't have a clear cut answer.
I just tire guy.

Please do well to share more of your findings as you apply for jobs, it seems shiny popular technology doesn't translate to good paying jobs

NewSoul:
Ok thank you Alexaonfleek for answering my question. I just wanted to be sure. I'm am yet to write my current school's post utme.
The school I want to change to is still on sale, reg closes in 3 weeks. If I effect a change it will be my second (and I heard it can only be done twice). My fear is after doing this second change then the other gives me admission which will not reflect on caps but just on the school's portal. If I do a third change back to the 1st school that offered me admission, will it work since they are saying change of institution can only be done twice, and if it works and reverts back to my previous school and now become visible on caps, since accepting admission on caps is very compulsory.

Sorry to say but you sound very confused. Sounds like you're trying to create a win-win situation and to be honest it's weirdly funny how you're going about it

Why all the multiple changes? Make up your mind, read hard and shoot your best shot.

I don't mean to sound harsh but guy stop jumping from school to school, dashing jamb money for COC.

post your score, school and state of origin and let people advise you. Pick one of the schools advised and slug it out via hard work. Worse case scenario you fail, you won't be the first, it won't be the death of you. This your technique might lead to you losing on all fronts, hence back to where you're running away from in the first instance.

Just an advice, feel free to do what you're doing. I hope it works for you

BoleAndFish:
Good day guys. Pls I need suggestions on good videos or book on django to download.

Please, help.

PDFs:
Django for beginners
Django 3 by example

are you connected to the internet?
post a screenshot of the error, that'll help solving your problem easier

saheedniyi22:
Thanks, I would be expecting your reply on how it went.

So I got it to work, however with termux not with pydroid3 terminal.

The steps are:

Install termux

run the following commands
$ apt update
$ apt upgrade
$ pkg install git
$ git clone <repository address >

$ termux-setup-storage

$ cd /storage/emulated/0 to navigate to local directory. From there, navigate to your folder and execute git commands like you would on PC.

I followed the directions on this website to upload my existing project to git since I couldn't remember my git commands
https://www.softwarelab.it/2018/10/12/adding-an-existing-project-to-github-using-the-command-line/

Everything works!

Alternatively,
I realized Spck editor has a great GitHub integration, like vs code level integration. Everything works with the click of a button. You can clone an existing repo, push, commit, add remote... just by adding your GitHub login details.

Whichever you choose, they should both work fine.

saheedniyi22:
I've been trying recently but haven't been successful with it.

How do you upload your codes on GitHub?
For now I do copy and paste though.

Haven't published my code to GitHub since my PC crashed.

I didn't even think to try.

I'll try it later tonight, and see if it works

saheedniyi22:
Good evening,

I use pydroid too, I want to know if you have been able to use the pydroid terminal to perform GitHub stuffs like push, clone and co?

No I haven't tried it

Taofeekdboy:
In any OOP language, when you create a class, then you can create a variable name to instantiate the class e.g

Class Dog :
     Def ___init____(self, name, age):
           self. name =name
           self. age = age

So here you can instantiate the class dog like this 

dog1 = Dog('bingo',  5)
dog2 = Dog('linzy', 2)

So dog1 and dog2 are both instance of the dog class. You can read more on classes on python to understand better.

OOP in python is quite confusing. Starting with "self" instead of "this" to the weird init constructor.

I get what instance is, just didn't understand how it could be a property of a form. It's clear now though.

Thanks for the help

fortifiedng:
Instance there means that, when the user wants to update their profile, their previous information would be filled automatically.

It's like creating an instance of what was there, before you edit it.

TIP: Check the meaning of instance in the dictionary for better understanding

Thanks, I finally get it now

Bosses them, abeg wetin be 'instance', can't find anything in the documentation about it

Deeemphasis01:
good afternoon sir. Can an average student start and finish mbbs within the stipulated time, without repeating a class ? The way I hear people talking about medical school is very terrifying.i would be very grateful if you would enlighten me.

Yes, of course.

The fact is, although intelligence helps, med school is a whole lot more than just smart brains. So, provided you put in the work and study time, success is guaranteed.
Make no mistake though, there is a lot of work, sleepless nights and a ton of reading to do.

Although in my opinion, an 'average' student can't beat the competition to get into medicine. The moment that average student does that, he/she stops being average.

The processor difference isn't so much that It'll be noticable, however the screen difference will be quite noticable.

oyetunjibaba:
boss mi,shey uniport get PQ?

Jamb PQ would more then suffice.

But if you have 1K to spare, there's no harm in getting a copy of those alleged PQs.

Firstly, if you want view your webpage on the web, you'll have to host it. There are free hosting platforms like GitHub pages and netlify but they don't let you use a custom domain name, that'll involve you paying for hosting.

Secondly, Domain name can be gotten at GoDaddy, namecheap, namesilo etc, a simple google search will provide a long list. However, it cost about $10/year or so.

If you're just learning how to code, I see no reason hosting your webpage as it'll just cost you money.

VicThory:
I planned on using post ume and some connection.

I thought you had a 'D' in Biology or was that someone else?

if it was you, unless you're awaiting the current WAEC that's being taken, I advised you forget about admission this year. Without 5 relevant credits in your O'levels, your connect can't do anything, also, unless your connect is 5G, your score will be hard to get you in, irrespective of a good putme score

It might sound like a negative opinion but with students tearing the 340 barrier likes its 280, your score just doesn't measure up with the competition in Federal universities.

Darivie04:
I think I've solved this.

Kindly post, I'm looking forward to seeing your solution

Brukx:
Some persons are good at doubting what they don't understand

Ah swear, it's annoying. Like what's so hard there that one of us can't solve.

The belief that Nigerians can't compete with the rest of the world is just sick. We're not there yet but we're not dumb either

BlaqTesla:
Looking at the solutions you guys paste here... most of it were all copied.

Are you saying Nigerians aren't smart enough to come up with answers to those questions?

TheGenius001:
Thank you very much sir. Once I just get home I'll do it Asap. Thanks a lot for your patience


Please I am following a tutorial on developing a website using Django please do I need data in doing all of that or where exactly does using data come in asides the Django installation part??

Unless you're installing other packages, you don't need data.

As an advice tho, try to buy data when learning programming as you'll need to constantly go through the documentation and stack overflow when you get stuck.

Herefortheinfo:
Please I got 273 in JAMB for a medical aspirant into UNIBEN. Please can anyone, like a medical student there tell me the necessary books to cover and also how the exam would be like.
I Would Really Appreciate.

You should think about switching schools. 273 is low for a competitive university like UNIBEN

TheGenius001:
No I wasn't Sir

Lol I thought as much. just connect to the internet when installing packages. Django is like 10mb or so.

Nice UI... Is it styled with bootstrap?
