Harjibode: Eeyaa...Actually I Had An Upper Credit In electrical/Electronics Engineering from FEDPOILA,And Am Sure SHe Knws close To Zilch,When It Comes To Maths....62 In Unilorin Post Utme For A Distinction Folk Is Too Bad,I Didnt Even Read Anything When Going For The Exam.....She knows no one in Unilorin so please tell me, how can you do runz in a place you know no one? infact i am giving you too many attention, this is not what i came here for. if you doubt her OND result, you can go to Kwarapoly to contest it. ecolime: I really feel for her because this is so painful. Let her try out that of Kwasu if it's not too late. God knows best.Thanks bro, all things work together for good (her saving grace). kokosheen: Wow, that's quick. Sorry about the whole issue, for all we know, it might be for the best.You're right bro, thanks all the same. refunding should at least heal part of the wounds. |

UPDATE Senate said nothing can be done and that she should write in for a refund. Unilorin's case for now is closed because she can't take the given course. Last option: Kwasu Hopefully she'd be given something within social sciences/management sciences if Accountancy is no longer available |

Harjibode: Shhhhh..Why Cant U Answer The Question,Wht is Ha Post Utme Score....I would advice you only talk about what you know of. Thinking that others did runs because you weren't admitted reeks of "bitterness". even if she scored 62, the fact that she was given admission at first and allowed to pay and do other documentations before changing her course overnight is what matters here, if she wasn't given admission at all would have been another ball game She was working when she sat for the post UTME, even at that, she still got what she got and even if she scored 20 or 50 or 70, that's not the issue here, the issue is her being admitted, allowed to get everything done, 4 weeks into normal lectures, then changing her course overnight is what i am here to fight against. For you to say you want her Distinction in OND scrutinized, i'll throw this to you that you can't beat her in accounting/mathematics and other subjects that has to do with accountancy and she also won 3 awards while in Kwarapoly, so don't bite what you can't chew. FYI: She was also given admission in Kwasu and didn't attend that of Yabatech because of the admission Unilorin already gave her. I hope i am clear now? it's best not to try to be too smart when you are ignorant of what's on ground. 1 Like |

On Nov. 25, 1932, FDR had just defeated Herbert Hoover, the daily newspaper cost two cents, and Ann Shawah said "I do" to John Betar in Harrison, N.Y. Fast forward through 13 presidents and 80 years to 2012: the Betars are still happily married. After five children, 14 grandchildren and 16 great children, the couple from Fairfield, Conn., will celebrate their 80th wedding anniversary Sunday. "We are so blessed. We are fortunate," John Betar, 101, said. "We are very fortunate. It can be repeated and repeated," Ann, 97, echoed. "It is unconditional love and understanding. We have had that. We consider it a blessing." Humble Beginnings John Betar met Ann Shawah growing up in the same Syrian community in Bridgeport, Conn. Betar immigrated to America as a young child in 1921 with his brother, he explained, joining his father who put down roots for them in Bridgeport. After attending grammar school, Betar began working as a fruit peddler and met Ann Shawah, the daughter of Syrian immigrants, in the neighborhood. "I fell for her right away," he said. "I used to have a Ford Roaster and I used to pick her and her friends and drive them to high school. Gradually she liked me and we got together." It was slightly more complicated than that. Ann was arranged to be married to another man, 20 years her senior, whom her parents thought would be the best provider for their daughter. The 17-year-old was less than pleased with the arrangement and taken with Betar, then 21. Breaking with tradition and going against her family's wishes, the two eloped. "At 17, you wonder if you're making the right choice," she said. "I had grown up with him and we had good times together and we knew each other very well. And it's turned out to be 80 years. ….God seems to have been with us. And we've been very fortunate and wonderful." The two built a life together, a home, a family and lived out their own version of the American dream. Betar continued peddling fruit and in 1938, opened up his own grocery store, Betar's Market, in the south end of Bridgeport. "We worked hard and never got tired of making money," he said. "This is the land of opportunity." Ann stayed at home and raised their children. "She was a great mother," Betar said. "She raised five children and she was a wonderful caretaker." Five children spawned 14 grandchildren and 16 great children. The couple said the later generations "bring new life" and light into their lives. "Last year at [John's] 100th birthday party ... there was group of little 2 year olds and 5 year olds and a group that's just turning 19 and 20," Ann recalled. "We had it at the beach and we had fireworks. It was very special. The younger children went out on the beach and wrote 'Happy Birthday Jiddo,' [Grandpa in Arabic], in the sand, all along the beach. ... How can you not feel God's right with you and blessing you?" Along with joyous moments and good memories like this one came bad times for the Betars. "The hardest thing in our life was losing two of our children. That's the sad part. It's one of the worst thing a parent can face is losing a child, no matter how old they are or how young they are," Ann said. But despite the trying moments that can test or break a marriage, the two have stayed together. "There are so many things in a lifetime that can make you very, very happy and very, very sad, but if you can do it together then it's happiness," Ann said. That's easier said than done for many couples today in the U.S. where the divorce rate hovers around 40 to 50 percent. What's their secret? "They have this wonderful ability to accept life as it comes," their daughter Renee Betar said. "They have a way of trying to look around at the things that they do have -- the family and the blessings. They came from a generation where there is such respect for each other and caring." The Betars consider themselves "fortunate." Hesitant to dole out advice to newlyweds, they each offered simple, guiding mantras to a lasting marriage. "Get along. Compromise. Live within your means and be content," Betar said, before adding, "And let your wife be the boss." "We don't have bosses," she said. Her advice: don't hold a grudge. "You know what your commitments are and you try to live by them and understand one another. If you don't hold a grudge, you can face anything," Ann said. The couple still lives independently on the beach in Fairfield and has kept active, pushing the boundaries of aging. In their later years, Ann discovered a hidden talent as an artist and took up painting in oils and watercolors. The two cook soup together, always from scratch. (The retired fruit peddler-turned-grocer continues to make outings to shop for the best produce and can't help but dispense recommendations to fellow customers at the store, his daughter reports, saying: "Oh no, don't buy that tomato if you want to eat it tonight."  They spend their days reading and proudly keeping up with what's going on in the world.Celebrating 80 Years of Marriage On Sunday, the couple will mark their 80th wedding anniversary with a quiet celebration surrounded by family and friends at the St. Nicholas Antiochian Orthodox Church in Bridgeport, where they are original founding members. Ann said one of her daughters ordered a cake for the occasion and the baker called back, slightly confused, to confirm that it should read -- "Happy 80th Anniversary" instead of "Happy 80th Birthday." After eighty years, Betar is still sweet on his bride and she is still sweet on him. "He is a wonderful man. He is a very giving man to his children, to his family, to people that need it. He is a very generous, giving man," she said. "Can you blame me for living with him for 80 years?" To the later generations of children and grandchildren, the Betars serve as role models for how to live and love in life. "I'm always blown away by their incredible optimism, deep sense of compassion and modesty," said granddaughter Heather Mitchell of Fairfield, Conn. "They are true beacons -- inspirational people who emit such joy without even knowing it." http://gma.yahoo.com/couple-celebrates-80th-wedding-anniversary-shares-secrets-lasting-174309809--abc.news-sex.html 14 Likes |

Very disheartening. but then she's got one more place to test out - the senate, someone gave her one of the senate's numbers since they are the ones who often decide what happens most, she called and the man said she should come to his office tomorrow. let's wait and see what happens |

kokosheen: My honest opinion about the VC's plea - 'Utter Crap'. I've seen this happen many a time which was why I advised that you take charge of the matter. The school (since the VC is now in the game) thinks because she's a new intake, whatever she's offered, she'll take.Thanks, so what do you advice i do? |
| Education › Re: Help! Unilorin changed her course overnight, What Can Be Done? by honeric01(op): 3:13pm On Nov 20, 2012 |
UPDATE: VC called her back to tell her she should "please" take the new course and that there was a new development and the post UME score had to be upgraded, so those who didn't get up to 70 had to be moved even after they have been given admission before. (only course left that takes DE student is human kinetics). Now, i have all reasons to sue the school but she's afraid that she's likely going to be blacklisted by other schools if she sues unilorin (total fallacy). I really need advice on what next to do she's paid for ATS Paid for ICAN paid for hostel paid for acceptance fee paid for school fee spent alot printing and typing. Efforts Time Stress Human kinetics have nothing to do with accountancy and this is just what she can't take. it's a dream-killer and a total put off to her future ambition. I need advice from lawyers and also from educationist.  |

UPDATES She and another friend of her put a call through to the VC and they have both been directed to report to the Admission department by the VC and that he was going to call the office before they get there this morning. hopefully this should be sorted out on time so it doesn't affect her performance. |
| Education › Re: Help! Unilorin changed her course overnight, What Can Be Done? by honeric01(op): 6:04pm On Nov 19, 2012 |
UPDATE She's been told to write a letter to the VC and that it was an error from the part of those in the Admission department, likely to cost some people their jobs if it's blown out of proportion but the VC is the only one that can give orders to have it rectified. With the help of her level adviser, i pray the VC gets the letter on time/act on it. My fingers are crossed!  |

ayosmiles: [b]The palestinians under mahmood abass went to the UN to seek for statehood. United states vetoed that bid out with its security powers(remember, there can never be a resolution if any of the 5 permanent members vetoes a bid)Then the palestinians decided to seek for observer status, which qualifies them to at least accuse israel of war crimes yet they were rejected. Finally, they applied for UNESCO membership, so as to protect world heritage sites, including the church of nativity, the resolution was approved by over 200 countries because it does not need the approval of the 5 super powers. That shows you majority of the world know the palestinians are oppressed and yet are unable to help them because they are afraid of these western powers. Do these people look like terrorists?Another logical and reasonable Nigerian. my hope is rising gradually. |

goofie: i dont seem to get u. i never said women r more logical.read thru my post again. i said women discern more while men r logicaal.Oh yes, you're right, missed that part. all in all, it takes a logical person not to be easily swayed and this explains why men tend not to go to church in numbers like women who are more religious than being spiritual. religious = fulfilling all righteousness Spiritual = connecting to the maker in personal terms. |

binger: Emotional? Pls elucidate...do you mean to say that guys are less spiritual?Just like someone said, not all Christian male go to church but female Christians prefer to go to church even if they are worse off than harlots. it has more to do with insecurity, being overly religious and also very dependent on external help. Simply put, the urge to seek security pushes more women to church (religious houses) than men. Spiritually, men rank high. Religiously, women rank high. 2 Likes |
