On frontpage, you'll see
"Toughest Universities to enter."

If this is a thread presumably created by a scholar in a tertiary institution, or even a jambite, he/she could have done better with the topic. If the topic was edited otherwise, hmmm..

"Most difficult Universities to gain admission into."

This error is quite a shame.

ClintonNzedimma:
fupre isnt hard but i can beat my chest to say it has one of the hardest if not the hardest post ume in Nigeria.
I wrote post ume this year there....i know what i saw.

lol...bros that exam was easy. The only thing that made fupre difficult this year is the faulty marking.
add to that the fact that no clear cutoff for any course.

Aside this, fupre is very easy if you are lucky, the biggest problem is you may not get your desired course, irrespective of score!
The non transprency makes it very tricky to get into.

Blackbeauty:
Thanks..av been worried
.but i googled it and i git some tips..av done all u suggested.
.they said the battery gets better with use..so,am going to wait it out..asides this i really like d phone.and @wlxandre i already have an android tab..thats y i opted for a budget lumia.

Ok then, the battery gets better with use really, but you have to try conserve it with a few tips though.

Blackbeauty:
pls i need answers..it was full again by 11am..now the battery is 39%
i am thinking of returning it..even,blackberry does not have dis kind,if,poor battery life.pls,those
that own the 520,is it normal?i am surprised because i know,nokia batteries are strong.the phone,is barely 48 hrs old.pls advice me on ppssible solutions.

Lol..
Firstly, forget the stereotype about Nokia batteries being strong. The strength of a battery depends on it's size and how powerful and power consuming the phone is.
The battery on this phone is just 1430maH, so don't expect miracles.
When I bought my 520 nine months ago, I was also very scared, as the battery was running out too fast, but it later got improved after several charge cycles.
What browser do you browse with?
If you use internet explorer with 3g, you are likely to run the battery down quicker than if you use e.g opera mini+ edge /2g (note that the browser on a modern smartphone is far more power consuming and ultimately more powerful than that of any old blackberry device out there.)

I use my phone browsing 7 hours straight using opera mini or UC browser on speed mode plus edge. When I have a task suited for a heavy browser, I switch to internet explorer.
You have to make compromises when you use a phone with a small battery.

Let me give you a few maybe surprising tips,
1 The brightness on your device is a damn power sucker.
When you are in a dark or poorly lit room, switch your brightness profile to AUTO!
it reduces the brightness level and saves you battery.
Also remember to never set your device to high brightness!

Go to settings>swipe left> background tasks and deactivate all unnecessary app you don't really use from running in the background.

switch off location services when not in use!

That is all I can remember for now!
I strongly advice that you update to Lumia cyan 8.1

If you can't still cope with the battery after all these tips, I advice you get a more expensive Lumia, or if you don't fancy an expensive device , maybe you consider Android budget devices then.


Ujsizzle, how did/do you cope with your 620 ?
Was the battery life okay for daily use.
I am asking cos I'm aware the 620 has an even smaller battery.

This is one of the reasons why we do not want the young man to drop out of school so He doesn't start composing bad sentences like what you've written up-there. That you dropped out and you're a landlord,doesn't mean you should use yourself as a yardstick in measuring success. There are greater heights you can aspire to in life and some of such heights,would require you having a degree. It's non-negotiable. Those who know the young man,are of the opinion that He has lots of potentials and as such,there's no need settling for less.

Dropping out of school doesn't mean you speak poor English!
Heck, even some primary school students speak and write properly.

chiboy429:
Exactly ismokeweed ,you on point this is just what am just trying to imply in other sentence ,elxandre is misconstrue me . It is very wrong for him to hail the guy in question for such a decision . Wooow hadizy i can feel how desperate you are to pull your bro back on course, just take it easy everything is going to be fine

You didn't get me.
I emphasized severally that it made no sense, since he he had just months left to graduation.

Hadizy is he your younger bro or older?

Hadizy:
Please can you just all him outta this. Believe me he can read the whole thread and pick out yours as the most reasonable post. I just want him to see reasons why not to take the step he his about too.

Well, its clear that it's a no brainer to finish up since he has just one year left. I like his confidence in himself, but there is no reason not to grab the chance to get a degree if you have a year left.
Also, how is his financial backing? Is it rigid? These is one detail to be considered!
As much as humans have confidence is self, no plan is actually impeccable.
Honestly that degree could be a life saver if things go awry.
I am just a realist and in no way a pessimist.

If he refuses to listen, I advice him to officially go to the school and seek a break, this leaves him room to deal with his business and also decide if he needs a return to school or not.
Have you told your parents about it?

Honestly, if he is truly a thinker, he would understand the importance of rational decisions.
....and the rational decision here is that he completes his final months in school!

Are you sure he doesn't have any school issues though?

^^^^^ what do you mean by cowardice?
I only see braveness and a man who believes in his dreams.
Now this is the ultimate MAN, not daunted about what the world will say about his decision, not even thinking of failure as a possibility.

The only problem here is that he is just one year away from graduation, let him realize this, and try motivating him to go for this last year, even if the degree may eventually become as good as tissue paper to him.
Three years of hard work, just a year to go, keywords!

Baddestguyp:
at least cr7 fans are a bit quiet as he was as invisible as messi

My friend, you're certainly a joker!
Ronaldo terrorized the barca defence today, forget that he refused to shoot, but kept passing.
He was one of the most influential players today. Kept running at the barca defence, had sublime positioning, ran his heart out.

If you must criticize, be sensible about it!

fingard02k:
If FC Barcelona no win this match.. I go post my PASSWORD here

Can I have your password?

Hotdiamond:
time to join the windows phone band. lumia 1320 on my mind.

Hope you are familiar with the OS already?
Moving from android to WP could be a big deal for many people.

That said, the 1320 is a heck of a device at it's price.
6 inches + 3400mah battery is a sure winner anyday.
If the windows 10 update is appetizing, I could get that phone for a better experience.

Gbogbolet:

how do I use this pls?

Adiwana:
Op,you're right but who no want better life..my big couz who studied mech.eng. Works in schulmberg in Kenya..last he was working in port,anoder london,anoder Netherland,anoder Dubia&so on..he changes cars like clothes..he recently refused to wed in my villa,cos he has rich frends in port who go gve him smth,i hav never seen him in my life time enter bus&many more is what hes life has been since he entered oil/gas sector&you want me to finsh my education&come dey invent wat?thats wat Nigeria is for you

Become a credible inventor, and you earn what he has been gathering up all these years in a shorter while if you are lucky.

Inventing isn't for the meek hearted though, as the rewards may tarry, but will be worth it when they come through.

There is no wrong in getting a job initially though, as you need money to start off in life, especially if you are from a not too rich family.

Certainly the three idiots. I can't foresee any movie ever displacing it in my heart!

Chinedu or Samantha or cannon will wetin this prize!!!

why was sharon's which not covered properly? I mean which task did she fail?

ClintonNzedimma:
neymar?, inferior to cr7?...guy we dont know for now sha...someone that is averaging one goal a match for barca currently.

Back to the matter.

Messi was not just at the top of his game at the world cup but he didnt struggle.

Prior to the knock out stage, his father came and said he was suffering fatigue.
He was blazing hot in the group stage.
Why?
Because Iran and Bosnia were just parking the bus, only my dear Nigeria came out and played them like Men and u saw what Messi did.
He would have scored 4 goals if not for his 60 minutes subtitution because of fatigue.
To cut the long story short...Messi was just and average world best after group stage.
4 goals, 1 assist wasnt a joke.

The fact is cr7 isn't in the same class as neymar. At least not yet.
You are comparing a player who averages two goals per game to neymar?
Messi scored 0 goals in the knockout rounds.
But the main point here is that he lost too many balls attempting dribbles.

ClintonNzedimma:
oboy, tiki taka is about teamwork not individuality.
Am not saying teamwork is better than individuality (both have disadvantages) but Ronaldo wont fit into Barcelona's concept.
He is an individualistic player and thats great, it has helped him win awards for his team...
Am aware of his exploits @ Man Utd...that was when cr7 was more entertaining.
And point of correction, Messi didnt struggle @ the world cup

Firstly tiki-taka/teamwork is better than individuality.
Germany destroyed Brazil because they were so unselfish that day. That match summed up the importance of teamwork.

Why won't cr7 fit in to barca's style?
If you were conversant with Man United years ago, you would have known that United played some slick passing football then (certainly the best team in the world between 2008- 2009) and did Ronaldo fit in? Certainly!!!
If Neymar could fit in at barca (an inferior player to cr7), why won't cr7 fit in?
Don't forget the barca hierarchy almost signed Ronaldo in 2008, but his ambition was to play for real Madrid. In fact, I still remember Xavi trying to convince him to move to Camp nou.

Ronaldo's playmaking skills are underrated due to Real Madrid's pattern of play.

Messi struggled at the world, let's face it.
After di Maria's injury, he was wobbling. What did he do against Belgium,Holland or Germany? (he wasted the ball severally attempting many solo runs, something they would have criticized another player for)
Everyone was surprised he even won the world cup golden ball (even maradona and blatter)

Did you see the picture in my previous post?
That is my main point, they go about things in starkly contrasting ways, but the end result is almost same.

People say messi is better because he seems so involved in barca's playmaking.
I don't think these people watched cr7 at United.
Play a Ronaldo in a team with heavy possession like barca and see if he will not get as many assists as messi.
Play a messi in a team playing turgid football like Madrid and see if he won't struggle.
Did you see how much messi struggled in the world cup, despite Argentina's many star forwards? He even got outshone by dimaria! Without tiki-taka, he's power gets drastically reduced.

Ronaldo has dominated two leagues proving his adaptability to any style and circumstance.

Why won't messi win four ballond'ors, when his team dominated European football for four years? (never mind that the sneidjer should have won the 2010 award).

If you ask me, both players are almost equal, but have major differences in style.

The picture below proves that both players deliver almost the same result, never mind that they go about it in different ways.

tell me the name, nationality and which year? if not shut the Bleep up and stop saying wat u dont knw

CAF dont give goal keepers

Lie,
I think a goalkeeper won it many years ago.

Please don't kill yourself sir,
My battery is about going off, but please I beg you to look inwardly and see how you can get out of this debacle.
Think of the things you can still enjoy on this earth if you hold on. Many sides stories started from the real ashes.

This thread is fast sha o.. Lol.
Una too like awoof.

mrvocalprowess:
can u please kindly explain what "defective implementation of the software" mean?educate me and other novice plz

I mean OEMs like Samsung, Sony, LG, Tecno,Gionee, make their own launchers and also load in their own apps, causing unnecessary bloatware most times. Many times too, they fail to optimize the software to perform properly with the hardware.
All these contribute to different Android phones performing differently.

It's common knowledge that Samsung's touchwiz lags irrespective of the hardware, while the nexus 5 with vanilla Android is smoother.
So would you blame Google for Samsung's problem? Of course No!!!

Feraz:
Kinesis, can you unlock a Lumia phone?

Who here can unlock a Lumia phone?

Developer unlock?
That's not difficult, just google it.
Take note that some methods allow you to install 2,5 to 10 cracked apps with the maximum being ten apps.
