Yes. Unilag gave me exactly the same date that I should be in uniport. I have two options. Either I divide myself into two, the right half go to Lagos and the left half will go to PH, or I forget about uniport. Since the first option is not practicable, I have decided to face Unilag jeje. It's now I fully understand what my Economics teacher mean by opportunity cost. Have you registered? Is uniport also your second choice?

Salzyswaag: Just printed my exam pass nd notice dat it is our jamb combo(s) we r writing in our p ume.anybody sceptical about dis should verify 4rm others dat av printed deirs.

It is clearly stated in unilag website that the putme will be in use of English, Mathematics and General paper. Now when you print your exam pass, on the left side you'll see your name, first choice course, putme date and lastly venue. On the right side, is your JAMB registration number, utme subject, utme schedule time and e-practice password. On the subject, they listed the 4 subjects you wrote in utme. It doesn't mean that's what you'll write at putme. Some schools even listed the subjects with the utme scores. Please don't expect anything but English, maths and GP at utme. If you check the online practice questions, they are all in these three subjects.

Chei! See opportunity cost. I now have all my eggs in one basket. *crying*

Ortarico: Amen bro. What's your exam date?

I only printed the pay advice. The person I sent to pay for me could not do that because the bank said the website was down though he promised to try again today. As for Uniport, I've filled in my details into their system. I'll not pay until I see my exam date for Unilag. How far have you gone?
