DarkPheonix:Transparency - 85%. Tribalism - 97%. Don't ask me how I know. Udus MBBS is not about scores alone, there are many things attached that isn't fed to the public. If you're from catchment - you're safe. If you're from ELD - you stand a chance. If you're from merit - then you'd fight a war to get in. All in all what matters in Udus is your score, your state, God and maybe connections if you want MBBS. On a simpler scale, last year merit was 280 until you apply. That 280 is just on paper, they will only admit you if you're the highest or among the highest from your state. ( assuming 10 people from Lagos or any merit state choose Udus for MBBS with scores like 340, 333, 320, 301, 298, 295, 289...) They will only admit the top 3 or 4 scorers for MBBS, the next 2 top scorers will be offered BDS ( a new programme) while others will be thrown to applied chm, MCB, etc. Don't forget the fact that all the ten aspirants had above 280 which was written on paper. That's why I said they are transparent but tribalisms is .... But assuming you are from catchment states like Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara, Niger etc. With 270 they can literally beg you to accept the admission for MBBS. I saw people with 230, 240, 235, 250 etc offered MBBS from the core northern states (cut off mark for catchment was pegged at 230)... There is no post utme as at now (just a good utme score and complete Olevel). Also their MBBS is kinda okay and fast too. Their class of 2015 were supposed to start their 2nd MB (Exam written at the end of 400lvl) in March before the ASUU stuffs. Do your homework well, if you have 300+ in utme and you don't want to prepare for post utme again... You stand a good chance in Udus. Just don't be surprised if you're the only student from your state while some state have as high as 25 students. 2 Likes 1 Share |

I saw this somewhere! Lemme share here to fellow aspirants... Getting Admitted into Medicine... Where am I missing it here? PS: This is a long post riddled with opinions of the writer alone, you're free to agree to it or not and it's not meant to denigrate any medical school. Getting admitted into Medicine is a herculean task, to be candid Medicine is not easy to get at all, less than 10% of all medical aspirants get in at first attempt - others have to try twice, thrice... And some it was at the sixth attempt. I'm not here to hype medicine or paint the gory tales of admission seekers, rather channel your minds to few factors that might have been the cause of delay as a medical enthusiast. One, Do you want to really study medicine or you want to study the university? Don't get me wrong, it is okay to crave for admission into Nigeria's ivy league, it is very okay to want admission in schools like UI, UNN, OAU, ABU, UniBen etc but when you can't get in at 1st and 2nd attempt - switch university don't trade dreams. It took me longer than expected that 'medical education at the undergraduate level is the same', That it's not by the university name but what you acquire overtime there. We are all addressed as 'doctors' in the clinical setting not 'Unilag Doctor', 'Absu Doctor', 'Unimaid Doctor'. Have a proper mindset as medical aspirants. 'Accreditation Status', 'Facilities available', 'Standard Teaching Hospital', 'Available Personnels' are what you should be considering when selecting schools not name of school, category of students going there, location or friends choice. Stop wasting money and time chasing Unilag when you know your grades would have fetched you that same MBBS in LASU. Two, Admission Process. Medical education is not always that smooth. Most schools compromise when it comes to MBBS - I don't blame them, all medical schools in Nigeria do get more than needed aspirants. The golden rule here is 'Try to beat the process'. Some schools write post utme, others don't, some schools consider O'levels, some don't use Olevel at all - some schools bank only on utme, Some published cut off marks, Some hide their cut off marks from the public, some consider indigene..... You need to know the one you can 'beat their process'. Find out all the information you need, don't just bank on what you see online, make findings from people there, because you read it online from a wacky blog that a school cut off mark is 270 does not mean 270 on dot will 100% get you MBBS there. You need to ask those inside the system. You need to score more. Three, Be ready to bend. I learnt this phrase too very late. 'Be dogmatic to your goals but flexible with your approach'. Not all medical students gain admission via Utme. Try other means like jupeb, pre degree, remedial.... Even DE and Change of Course at the end of 100lvl for schools that do such. Ade wrote utme for six consecutive times before getting MBBS whilst his friend Bayo wrote once got Microbiology, finished and applied via DE. Ade wasted six years at home with nothing propelling him towards his goal while Bayo bagged a separate degree during that period. Four, Consider God Factor and be happy for others in the system. Delay is not denial. You not getting it last year doesn't mean you can't get it forever. Oh ye medical aspirants know thine self - know your strongholds, know where you can excel, work on your flaws. Beat competition at where it favours you the most, consider catchment where it favours you the most, head slam merit where you can get it, build your connections too - no one is too small or less important to help, connect with helpers and stay updated, don't bank on online hearsays when choosing schools. Always remember "The goal is to be a Doctor not to study Medicine". © Concerned Medical Students. 4 Likes 1 Share |

| Health / The Paradigm Of Brief Illness by Horlorlardaey: 10:22pm On Apr 19, 2018 |
I was coming back from school when I saw this burial poster which says the deceased died after brief illness, I checked the age written, it says 41. I got home and was checking my Facebook when I saw another post of a colleague who died after a brief illness, I was utterly shocked. As I sat down on the couch with my earphones plugged in listening to one of Sonu Nigam's song, I felt the urge to write about ‘brief illness'. It is so common nowadays to read about people dying after ‘brief illness’. Should we say it is rare for people to die after battling with an illness for long? Or our maker made us so fragile that we aren’t so tolerable to brief illness. A man walking on the road might suddenly collapse and die, it is common for people to say he died of heart attack but not many are informed that cardiac arrest doesn’t just happen, it usually happens after a very long period of warning. There are several signs and symptoms that such sufferer would have been experiencing, signs like chest pain, headaches, blurry vision, and many others. Cardiac arrest is the end result of blocked arteries supplying and taking blood away from the heart and brain, many of these arteries usually have cholesterol build up round them which thins the passage for blood and makes it insufficient for blood to get to vital organs. Let's think of a person who was hospitalized for some weeks before giving up the ghost. The 'brief illness' here may be as a result of damage suffered by an important organ in the body. Organs like kidney, liver, stomach, spleen, or lungs. We sometimes don't remember that poor welfare conditions given to these organs can translate into death or life. Infections are triggers and physical damage is inevitable. The bigger problem is that these organs might've been enduring this damage till it gets to a stage where it can't endure it anymore. From the religious point of view, it is agreed that we don't have ultimate control over our lives and God can kill anybody at any time he wishes, But God isn't a wicked creator, he isn't a cruel farmer who harvest crops when it isn't yet harvest period. Sometimes we are the killer of our cells. We should go for regular medical checkups; we should exercise our body at intervals, task our brain less, reduce stress, and lower the consumption of harmful food or drinks. We should stop self medication and stop patronizing quacks in all field related to our health, we should prioritize our health, government should subsidize healthcare services and there should be mass awareness on several silent killers. This is the 21st century; we shouldn't still have to offer our precious lives to 'Brief Illness'.

| Literature / Short Story: Mira's Story (completed) by Horlorlardaey: 11:40am On Apr 09, 2018 |
Everyone in my family seems perfect, or rather portrays perfection, I was the only exception, I was the only black sheep of the family, only my story seems different, seems to be confusing, seems not to go well with the pattern of my family, I’m always the square peg in the round hole of my family. Everyone’s life in my family is always going as planned, from my great grandfathers to my immediate family; it was always perfect, always in line, no obstruction, no glitches. I’ve come from a four generation of professionals, generations of learned persons, generation of imperfect perfectionist. My great grandfather was a Surgeon, a double certified surgeon, in fact he was the first surgeon to be double certified, and he was a cardiothoracic surgeon. He was a man I so much respected and love to hear from him, he died few days after my sixth birthday. My grandfather was no different from his father, he was a lawyer, a respected one, he won several cases and lost none. It was always rumored that no case as complicated as it is, that he cannot win in any law court. He was the real definition of a perfect lawyer. My father followed the same pattern of his predecessors too, he is a surgeon too, a board certified one. I wonder how he was able to pull such heist, he was proud of himself and wouldn’t spare a seconds before he starts feeding us with his success stories. ‘I’ve single handedly removed a bullet from the skull before’ he would say proudly. “I’ve separated Siamese twins twenty times over my forty years of practice” Don’t let me bore you with others, let me tell you my story; I’m the last child of my father, and the third daughter out of his five children. I grew up lacking attention; I never was allowed to decide for myself, all the decisions were either made by my dad, my mum or my older siblings. I was placed in science class, and I finished school at an extremely early age, my life was always as planned by them, at fourteen I sat for my first jamb, I passed averagely with 249, that day was one of the worst days of my life, I was verbally abused and I received a hot slap from my dad for the first time. ‘What nonsense result is this?’ he barked ‘How will you be able to gain admission with this kind of disgusting result’ my mom added ‘She won’t become a doctor before clocking twenty’ my eldest sister chided ‘Mira is a failure’ my eldest brother chipped in I hated myself instantly, I’ve failed everyone, no one believed in me, I cried all through the night. My brothers are Architect and Engineer while one of my sisters chairs Pan African Bank; the other is the commissioner for finance. I was the odd one I can’t even bring myself to tell them that I want to go into the fashion industry, I’ll be casted away instantly, to my father a designer is semi educated and would always toil and beg people to buy their stuffs. I wish to be a fashion designer. My father had to bend his ways for me to gain admission into a reputable federal university, I was admitted into Medicine. My problem started right from my first day at school, I wasn’t fitted into the course, not that I’m a dullard, I’m educationally sound, I just couldn’t go above average in class, I’ve tried every possible means, I don’t love medicine, I have no passion to be a doctor, it was always a tug of war anytime for practical’s. All these I couldn’t tell anyone in my family, for fear of resentment, now I’m in my third year and our head said I would be dropped soon since I couldn't cope. Now I’m done for, I can’t go forward and backward seems daring to me. I've tried killing myself a couple of times, but I just couldn’t bring myself to do it, I value my living, but I hate my life. Now I’m at a crossroad, I don’t know what to do. I'm confused.... #OloladeWrites About the writer: Horlorlardaey is a prolific student writer who loves delivering thoughtful and unique contents.

| Politics / This Country Nigeria by Horlorlardaey: 11:21am On Apr 09, 2018 |
In the year 1918, British colonial masters amalgamated the southern and northern protectorates. Different tribes with different thought, values, opinions and suggestions were made to come together; a nation was built out of the rumbles. Progressively, the people would not allow the foreigners to rule them again, agitations started and some distinctive group of people stood up against our very white colonial masters. October 1st, 1960 was an indelible day in the mind of all and sundry, Nigeria gained her independence, she broke free from her colonial masters, she became a self – governing nation, she could conduct her own elections and choose her leaders by herself. But did Nigeria really become independent? I think the answer on the mind of every citizen should be “No”. We did not break free from bribery & corruption, our leaders aren’t who we think they are, kidnapping, social violence and nepotism seems to be the order of the day, a once giant of Africa now sitting comfortably among the economically redundant countries. Our economic condition seems stagnant, we’re gradually leaving behind our agricultural prowess, the health sector is degrading and quality of health services being offered is meager compared to the number of citizens in need. The financial sector couldn’t make appropriate budget and we kept on running into budget deficit almost every year. No sane Nigerian would compare the Nigeria of today with that of the 1960’s and not see the unimaginable changes that has happened. This country Nigeria, is it the Nigeria we want? Is this the Nigeria we need? Is this the Nigeria we deserve? A country with 182 million people and over 356 tribes would definitely have her challenges. In this country Nigeria, over 52% of her citizens are youth between the ages of 18 to 40. Major tribes in Nigeria are Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo The Yoruba’s sits at the western part of the country, with the Hausa’s and Fulani’s at the North. Our Igbo brothers occupy most of the southern part of Nigeria. Majority of her citizens practices Christianity, Islam or traditional worshipping of gods. Different days of the week are subjected to worshipping, even some important days are inculcated and declared “public holiday” What we lack in governance, God gave to us in terms of culture and geographical abundance, different festivals and natural tourist attractions abounds Nigeria. Even though we haven’t been able to fully exploit our tourist attractions, we still could garner tourists to visit our country. Language shouldn’t be a barrier to somersaulting Nigeria into greater heights, our cultural heritage and social values shouldn’t be the hindrance to our economic and financial growth. In this country Nigeria, we need divine intervention to prosper, we need to start electing those who really care about the government, we need to raise our youth to world standard, reinvigorate our educational system, and we need to stop racial segregation and channeling of our resources into the right way.

| Education / Ten Things You Need To Do If You Want To Gain Admission This Year! by Horlorlardaey: 11:13am On Apr 09, 2018 |
With the increasing number of graduates churned out by our secondary schools and the addition of those re-writing the unified tertiary matriculation exam each year, gaining admission into tertiary institution in Nigeria is now a fierce battle every admission seeker must fight. Statistics have proven that each year the percentage of an average Nigerian securing admission is dropping in a geometric progression coupled with the distinctive declining in our tertiary institutions. Aspirants are at a loss on what to do, school managements are also having problems either internally or with the selection of the best – not forgetting the corruption in our educational system! Each year admission seekers have come out to complain bitterly that their names have not been appearing in the admission list. But many did forget how to go about it. Are you an aspirant? Do you really want this year’s admission? Are you ready to fight hard and hold tight to a spot on the list? If yes, why not follow me as I list out things you must do to gain that very admission you seek so dear, these are steps you should take to help you guide your admission Have a plan: Many admission seekers are so clueless when it comes to admission seeking, they don’t even know which institution they are well cut out for, while some are just confused on what to do. ‘I want to study medicine in UI, my dad want me to choose OAU, my Aunt said Covenant University is better’ that was what an aspirant said while we were discussing about her admission plans. As an aspirant, you need to have a clear mind on which school to choose, what makes you choose that school and how feasible is it gaining admission to that school for that particular course. Prepare for the Exam: Preparing for a unified examination is not just with the word of the mouth, have all what it takes to pass the exam – information about the exam, make enquiries for all past questions of your subjects, enough tutorials and most importantly smart reading. You don’t have the whole day to show how good you are to the examiner, stick with the time principles and do your best with actions not with words. Then what of cases you couldn’t make your dream score? Procure change of course/ institution form: Most people believed that its only when you have below 200 in UTME, that’s when you should change course, which is a total lie, once you’ve seen your result, it is left for you to decide two things; Can my JAMB score secure me a place in my dream institution? Can I get my dream course with my JAMB score? You should not just lose hope having scored 240 for Medicine in a Public university, you can get the change of course form and change to a lesser course in the same university, and you can still stick to your jamb score and change to a private university or a state university. Prepare for the School’s Admission Screening: Admission seekers should stop having the mindset that once Jamb is done and dusted, they are free to sit back at home and wait for admission to be served to them on a platter of gold. It is a fact that schools usually have application more than their carrying capacity, are you now expecting everyone to be admitted? Surely each school would devise a means of selecting the wheat from the chaffs, don’t be surprised if your proposed school sold more forms than what they can admit, it’s one of their means of gathering income not students. If you are the type that has dropped your books under the bed after writing UTME, then I’ll advise you to go get them, dust them and start reading. You can’t be so sure that JAMB is the only exam you will sit for. Evaluate Yourself: Now that you are about to start your preparations, it’s time to personally evaluate yourself, how good is your O’level results? How did you pass jamb? What were the problems you encountered while preparing for Jamb? If you prepare for your school screening test the same way you prepared for jamb, how well will you pass the exam? These are some of the questions admission seekers should provide answers to in their mind. Once you’re registered for your school screening test, there is no going back again, now you are close to ending the battle. Make sure that with your O’levels plus your JAMB score and with the best of results you’re expecting from the school test, you should be able to gain admission. Research Well About Your Preferred Course in Your Preferred School: Don’t make the mistake of fighting for admission into a competitive course with a relatively low score, don’t be surprised if you aren’t considered, know about the course you intended studying, know their merit cut off marks, catchment cut off marks, carrying capacity and how competitive it is. If you are able to get the above information about the course and you believe you can succeed in gaining admission then don’t waste time before registering for the test. Perform Well in the Admission Screening Test: This is your last chance to prove that you really want to gain admission, don’t let your JAMB score deceive you, gather all your resources in making sure that you not only just pass the admission screening test but you also blasted it by having an excellent result. Prepare adequately with the school’s past question, meet fellow aspirants and have healthy relationship with them, attend tutorials and group discussions, learn about the pattern of the admission test and sit for the examination. Be abreast with information about the Admission Process: The fact that you’ve sat for jamb and admission screening test successively doesn’t guarantee you admission yet. Always source for information concerning the school admission process, get to meet students of the school who can always supply you with correct and up-to-date information, the internet isn’t just for you to download, play games, watch movies or to be on social media alone! Learn to visit sites that you can get accurate and recent information about your school. Seek help if Admission list is out without your Name: It isn’t always a silent thing once a particular school starts offering prospective students admission, there are still chances that other lists would be released in due time, you can visit admission office of your school if you believed you have all what it takes academically with your results to be admitted, let me give an instance here, a girl with a good jamb score was not admitted for her preferred course, she only cried for help after the admission stuffs is really over, guess what the school said on her case – you should have visited our admission officer with your credentials, and maybe we would have included your name in another related course admission list. Be Prayerful: Don’t be surprised I included this as the last thing, yes! Have hope in your creator, pray to God to help you through let him guide and control you and he should also crown all your effort with success.

CHAPTER TEN DIVEPEN I woke up with a mild headache, I wasn’t tied like normal captive, in fact I was perfectly laid on a soft bed in a room painted pure white, I turned to check around me, my arm ached a little and I quickly check every part of my body. There was no sign of incision or anything which means all my body parts are still intact, I stood up and walked to the door, it was locked and computerized. I sighed, walked back to the bed, I removed a tiny piece of metal from the bedspring, with it I unscrewed the panel of the lock on the door, when I got to the panel, and I gently unplugged the red wire attached to the main screen of the lock. And I replaced it with the yellow one coming from the adapter on the motherboard; I gently cut the other red wire connected to the alarm after making sure the green wire from the mains on the panel is reconnected to the screen. I laughed after connecting, I have succeeded in reconnecting the security lock to the factory mode, I punched in “1234567” and immediately the door opened. I gallantly walked out of my supposed prison into the waiting hands of my captors. I was shocked I stammered as words failed me, gently I tried going back inside ‘What took you so long?’ was the question that greeted me “ehm.. ehm…..” I stammered again I scanned the room, they were four persons in total, and an old man probably in his late sixty sat on a sofa facing the TV, quite unconcerned with what was going on. A beautiful lady was sitting on another sofa with a handsome guy sitting beside her, I quickly considered them couple, on a cane chair was another guy playing with a pistol. ‘Larry, you said he is very good yet it took him 180 seconds to break an Alpha 389 security lock’ the guy playing with the pistol fired “He’s really good” the other guy beside the lady said calmly ‘How are we sure he can break more complicated locks’ the lady said I tried defending myself, but was shushed by the Old man “We will give him another chance to prove himself worth” the old man said authoritatively. ‘Let me introduce you to your new colleagues’ he said ‘This is Agent Larry, Agent Skarley, and sitting on that cane chair is Agent Sam’ he finished. ‘I’m Agent woods’ he said All I did all this while was nod my head to show that I was following all what he said ‘Introduce you’ Skarley said defiantly “Ehmm… I’m Divepen, the only son of …….’ “Mrs. Ajileti” Larry finished “We know your background” Sam added ‘tell us what you can do’ I smiled “I’m a hacker, white hat to be precise. I can hack anything wired; I can rewire, reconfigure, restructure, read any programming language, and steal anything online. I can also create and repair anything related to the computer world” I finished I was smiling again hoping to have impressed them with all what I said. “Clara, can do more than that” Skarley said “Only is she’s not dead” Larry chipped in “What have you achieved?” “What heist have you pulled before?” agent wood asked ‘Well I’ve hacked the World Bank before; I stole two million Kuwait, I’ve changed records many times at Microsoft portal, MIT portal, Embassy and at the federal hospital too. Twice I’ve installed virus at FBI database and I was the one who jammed the network at the fed airport causing the crash of the plane that killed the vice and some heads too.’ “Well I was paid for all that, though I never met or kept record of all my dealings, it was always online and half payment before the job, balance after the job” ‘You’re in’ Agent Woods said All you need is practice, Agent Skarley would tell you every other thing you need to know, and then you are free to go home. I was a bit fluttered ‘hmm, ehmm, are you sure I can go home sire?’ I asked with a tint of fear ‘Sure you can, agent Larry would explain everything better to you.’ said Agent Woods. Agent Larry decided to drop me home; while we were going he explained everything clearer to me. He told me about Agent woods past, how he lost his first family and how and years later before having Skarley and Laila. He told me about their mission; we were going to retrieve some data from NSS. The president is a monster and all his evil deeds and pasts are stored in one of the databases in NSS. We will retrieve it with other criminal records of the top leaders of the country then destroy their other planned crimes, we won’t stop there, and we would expose them to the public. We would watch as the public would pass judgment on them, they won’t have any option than to step down in shame, and the aggressive ones among them might face death penalty from the public. I sighed…. ******************* SEMM My business not only flourished, it was exceptional, and within few years I have acquired plots and plots of land. I sponsored my junior brother education throughout his university education; he is now doing his masters in University of Ulsan. My younger sis; Oh my precious Seruwa!, she is now in her Final year at National University, she would be bagging her degree in Medicine soon, her dream has always be to become a Doctor, I had helped nurture that dream and it has being one of the things I help her achieved in life. My Mother is now retired and I was happy my dad is still alive too, at least I have proved him wrong; ‘the fact that I did not practice the law I studied did not mean I will not succeed in life’. Did I forget to mention that I’m now dating Elizabeth? Yes we are engaged and this is the third year. We planned on getting married as soon as Seruwa finishes her education and that would be early next year. I was happy I did not die while trying to commit suicide over a girl, I was happy I listened to the good advice of my friend. |

DIVEPEN After I got healed, mother had to put me in another school, there I finished my O’level education, did I mention the fact that something changed in me? Maybe the doctors who operated on me touched something in my brain, only God knows. I became a genius, a computer wizard, twice I hacked deep into two different banks, I tampered with their accounts and I altered their database. I had wire a total sum of two million dollars into a foreign bank before, till date the money seems untraceable, I go by the name ‘PenDrive’. When mother’s disturbance became too much, I decided to enroll into MIT, my application was granted since I was able to pass all their requirements, not forgetting those I fabricated. I hoped to start a new life at MIT. ********* DIVEPEN I started a new life at MIT, I was placed in a room of four, the three other guys are tech geeks too, soon we bonded and we became quite close, I learned rapidly from them too. Close to the end of my second year we built a drone and were able to hack into the school student portal to change the grades of one of our girlfriends result. As time flies, I’ve completed my five years course; I became a certified computer engineer. Though that’s just the simple name I called it, in reality I became an engineer, operator and hacker. I was going home one day when suddenly a van parked beside me, I tried crossing to the other side but it was too late, three hefty men bundled me into the van, before I could say ‘Jack Robinson’ I’ve slept off. ************* ELIZABETH It was late in the night when I drove into my apartment, grudgingly; I carried the few groceries I packed from my mall and I walked slowly inside. Kicking off my shoes, I landed on my bed, I dreamt of the guy who came to my mall today Oh gracious Semn” I recalled, the next morning I called him and we talked for close to thirty minutes before I decided to go to my mall. He promised to pick me for dinner later that same day. ************** AGENT MANN I have been promoted to head of securities, the vice president, his aides and some Heads got involved in a plane crash, and I was the next capable candidate. Three weeks after I got promoted, I received a strange mail, it was from Agent Mary Death: congratulating me on my promotion and she decided to visit later in the week. |
