It was the same in Pharmacology. Biochemistry was minus 0.5 not minus 1. I think other schools had it too.

Pass mark is not 75. If you answer only 70 questions and get 65 correct that is 60. Even if you answer 50 out of the 100 and get all 50 correct you will pass. What they were discouraging is those who guess and spam answers the way KDB spams crosses. 😄

If you don’t know and you know you don’t know, don’t guess rubbish or else you go wound. People dey answer questions tactically like say na Champions League Final. Some people go park the bus, answer only 65-70 questions out of 100, and still pass. Some people go play high line and answer all 100 questions , and fail badly.

Ooh, okay. I get now.

I can somehow see the logic in it. Considering how delicate what you guys will be doing is, there's no room for mistake.

Medical school exams sometimes go be like walking through a maze set up by a demonic power. At least one person had a mental breakdown each year for the first 3-4yrs.

I remember one guy that got negative score in Multiple choice question exam . I think he scored -4 in Anatomy. Cos in those courses if you miss a question, you not only get 0 for that question you are deducted 1 mark for attempting and missing.
So if you answer 74 out of 100 correctly (74%) and miss the remaining 26, you will score 48 and fail.
And the options look the same like twins.

Omo

Essentially, the passmark is 75. Anything below is failure.

Was this peculiar to your school or general for those anatomy courses

Wike is a dick but he carried pdp for 8 years. He would have been a terrible VP candidate but they should have found a diplomatic way to fk him over.

Atiku seems to have a very high temperament, maybe he would have been able to manage Wike.

As far as I'm concerned, Atiku/Wike ticket was PDPs best shot at the presidency. The moment he went for Okowa, the election was lost.

Infact, everything that happened at that convention including Tambuwal stepping down was masterminded by Ayu.

How was Wike meant to react? Smile, laugh and dance with Ayu and Atiku so they can give him a better portfolio than what APC has given him.

Easy to see why most of us will never make it as politicians

raumdeuter:
Explain G5 influence in those states. e.g in Lagos, Ondo Ekiti, Plateau and CrossRiver

In Cross Rivers, their governorship candidate was a close ally of Wike. His structure worked against Atiku and supported Obi.

In Ondo, Mimiko is the leader of the party. His structure worked against Atiku and supported Tinubu

In Ekiti, you have Fayose and his men. Also a strong ally of Wike.

These are people that could easily have given Atiku some decent amount of votes in their respective states.

Theflint1:
Ayu was already seeing his tenure out. If Wike wasn't crying about Ayu, he'd have found another thing to cry about. Wike was not betrayed at the convention, the Tambuwal angle was one he didn't consider or plan properly against.

Lol, then you were not following. The betrayal was all about Ayu not even Tambuwal.

Ayu was brought to Wike by Ortom. The governors led by Wike ensured that there was little to no resistance to Ayus emergence. Wike was even the one who funded his campaign.

The plan was to make it easier for Wike to emerge as presidential candidate from the South considering that North had gotten the chairman.

Ayu not only betrayed him by supporting Atiku, he publicly hailed Tambuwal as the hero of the convention.

Infact, it was Ayu who prevailed on Atiku not to choose Wike as Vice. Atiku was going to go with the recommendation of the committee he set up.

That was why Wike demanded Ayus head. He wanted his pound of flesh.

And which tenure was Ayu seeing out? Ayu was elected in October 2021. He had a tenure of 4 years.

Theflint1:
There's no way you'd dice Wikes move without it looking like he played himself... Man went from being a major political force in the PDP, probably even potential VP or presidential nominee for the party in years down the road, to becoming one of Emi Lokan's boys with zero prospects of getting any federal acceptance.

Dey play.

He still is. You cannot mention 3-5 most influential politicians in Nigeria of today without Wike.

BlueRayDick:
Which of the G5 governors has influence in Lagos? Makinde?

Bode Geroge controls the PDP structure in Lagos. He was a member of the "integrity group" which was an extension of the G5.

Theflint1:
PDP moved Wike up the ranks from LGA chairman to minister and then governor, I don't think the party as an instrument had beeb unfair to him, and getting blindsided because of over-confidene wasn't the party happening to him.

Wike would most likely have gotten a portfolio in the Atiku government had he chosen to play ball and reel his g-5 crew in and in 8 or even 4 years down the road he'd be making claim for power rotation South with him looking a solid option.

I don't see how his becoming a somewhat unwanted lackey is anything better than what the PDP would have given him, and this is me speaking on Wike's self-interest alone and not some rubbish bobo or not wanting another Northern after Buhari

After that betrayal at the convention and refusal to force Ayu out, you expect him to trust them to give him any portfolio if PDP had won?

He didn't get where he is today by being stupid.

raumdeuter:
PDP helped Wike as much as Wike helped PDP

After 2015 when they lost and every major PDP power dispersed, It was Wike who held fort even when everyone in this Atiku camp were in PDP including this Atiku, Saraki Dino etc were in APC. I saw Dino attacking Ortom for being against PDP, when Dino himself was one of those who joined to sink PDP in 2015

Wike would have gotten a portfolio with PDP IF Atiku won the same portfolio he got with Tinubu?

The likelihood of PDP winning is even low the moment Obi entered the game with or without G5.

Lets analyze it
Of the G5 Ortom supported Obi,
Ugwuanyi and Ikpeazu are inconsequential cos their states was lost to Obi anyway
Wikes Rivers ended 230K APC, 88K PDP, 175K LP. So if Wike had handed over all the APC votes to PDP, It would be PDP320K APC 0. It will be 230K votes gained to cover a deficit of 1.8m. so it will still end with a almost 1.4m margin in favor of APC


What was the margin of Tinubus win over Atiku again? Almost 1.8M votes so how much did the G5 sway?

You said Wike should go and support Atiku, the same people who swindled him, And what was the guarantee that they will even give him a cabinet that Tinubu gave him. When till last minute the people who assured him of votes changed it for him

Wike weighed his options and saw the chances of Tinubu winning was higher than Atikus and decided to join forces with him than support a Betrayer who will still likely lose

The influence of the G5 goes way beyond the G5 states.

They had considerable influence in Lagos, Ekiti, Ondo, Kano, Cross Rivers, Plateau, e.t.c.

There's no way Atiku didn't lose at least 1m votes to that foolishness of ignoring 5 governors with influence in other states without PDP governors.

larride:
Anything is possible with politicians. Interest over any other thing.

Their interest might not align now doesn't mean it cant align in the next 6 month.

Politics ya werey gan.

You're right. Since FFK went back to APC, nothing surprises me any longer.

I don't think there's anyone who has used terrible and vile words against APC while in opposition as much as FFK.

OasisX:


......most PDP Guys thought Makinde ain't longer with Wike, but Yesterday Event put sands for their Garri.

Wike is still in charge, technically PDP remains on sickbed.

The rumour started after Makinde missed Wikes luncheon in PH.

Maybe they indeed fell out at some point but quickly sorted their differences.

Politicis is the more you look the less you see

kad199:
leave that guy too be whining himself. Fubara would do same years as wike. You go come here dey give them lamba cos most people here are far away from Rivers. infact Itrsm am even ready too bet u now, that Fubara would emerge PDP candidate for 2027.

Okay

liveLongNprospa:
Lol

What is the end game of wike for PDP?
Presidential candidate?
Or to choose the presidential candidate?

My wild guess is vice president in 2031.

BlueRayDick:
He is not the first governor to use 4 years and he won't be the last(If he eventually use 4 years) . I noticed how u used the word GUARNTEED loosely , but we all know nothing is guaranteed.

Well, I don't reside in the state, and I don't know if Wike has provided enough amenities for the citizenry to last a lifetime , but certainly it is the common man that will suffer if Fubara fails or get distracted for the whole 4 years. Fubara will get all his salaries, he will steal as much as he can and may even make up with Wike in the future. But u see the residents? Nothing for them.

Just look at the case of Ambode in Lagos for example. When Ambode had fallout with his APC people and Tinubu, he was bundled out after 4 years with some ongoing projects abandoned. My former boss who had property in Ikorodu area of Lagos decried how a road leading to his property was abandoned following Ambode's exit. The people suffered shege especially when it rained. I don't know if it has been completed now by Sanwoolu but as 2022 when we last spoke about it the road was in a terrible mess.

Today Ambode has mend fences with Tinubu, Sanwoolu and APC as a party. He jollies with them, but the people of the state suffered while the politicians were bickering amongst themselves. That's why I say the whole thing no supposed excite common citizens that are not politicians.

Fair enough.

I'll just add that, the fact a man spends 8 years does not mean his projects won't be abandoned by the next administration even if they are from the same party.

While it makes it less likely, there are still no guarantees.

larride:
Wike just showed that he calls the shot still in PDP.

I believe Fubara will reconcile with him soon

I honestly think it's too late for that but then, we have seen sworn enemies come back to work together in the past. So who knows?

BlueRayDick:
There's no lesson there whether it is at most or at least. 4 years is what the constitution guarantees for any governor except he gets impeached.

As it stands it doesn't look like he will get impeached. That being said, I think the residents should be concerned about how the feud between the governor and his erstwhile godfather will not affect good governance in the state; na only politicians supposed dey get excited about their fight.

Odili 8 years, Amaechi, 8 years. Wike 8 years.

A man who is guaranteed to spend 8 years spends only 4, no lesson.

If he gets impeached and spends 2 years instead of 4, lesson. That's your argument? Lol

Whether he decides to work or hides under the excuse of a fight to not work is none of my business. I'm not employed by the state government and don't need any handout from him.

The basic things I need from the government was already provided by the last administration. The fight excites me as much as it excites a politician. Lessons will be learnt.

BlueRayDick:
Which lesson Fubara wan learn again ? Shebi it has been agreed that he will use 4 years at least .

If anybody will suffer I think it's the Rivers People that will suffer cos for the 4 years of Fubara government he will be at loggerheads with Wike and it will be difficult for him to really focus on governance and achieve much as a governor

At most. That's the lesson there.

Gabrielclint:
Good morning guys,
I called my account officer in Fidelity bank and he told me that there is a new policy from CBN that one can only invest from 50 million naira in treasury bill. I find that difficult to believe . Please can anyone confirm this information please?

That's if you're bidding with your own rate. You can buy with less. The bank pulls funds from you and I and submits a bid on everyone's behalf.

GloriousGbola:
White lion is an unsophisticated criminal. I am sure he transferred money straight from kogi acct to his personal account Betta Edu style. Open and shut case with no wiggle room if they mean you.

Plus albino pussycat is a bully and bullies are cowards when it comes down to the wire, so here we are

Then he should enter a plea deal and return the money. His stooge is still in office. Refunding it can't be too difficult.

raumdeuter:
Any recent update from Aregntina economy that they said we should copy

Oasisx wetin be the outcome of PDP meeting

Wike flogged PDP silly as usual. Fubara will learn a lesson he will never forget.

.....Chief Priest, Mr. Tested and Trusted, has this message for White Fowl. LOL!

I'm hardly ever in agreement with chief priest on anything but I'm with him on this.

Whether you ate yam or not while in office, be a man and go defend yourself. This one is next level cowardice

OasisX:


......white Lion is cooked. Its better he gives up and reports himself to EFCC. A big disgrace to Nigerian Youths.

Modafvcker assumed power at 39yrs, spent good 8yrs to steal ₦80+ Billions?!

Power is indeed transient. Who would have seen this coming? A whole white lion running helter skelter and hiding like a coward.

What is he running from? What's the worst case scenario biko? If Emefiele can be granted bail, how much more.

I knew the woman was in canada and i wasn't expecting her in the country after the whole rogbodiyan
She will be like over her dead body will she step into naija again

It didn't make sense to me too. Was just watching by the sidelines to see how events will play out.

BlueRayDick:
That's what is called PROPAGANDA .

Most people don't know propaganda includes facts, half-truths , outright lies and sometimes a mixture of everything just to influence public opinion.

U can see Cardoso's statement has already achieved its aim .

Person say he perceive a future where they won't need to intervene ( which obviously mean that's not what obtains in the present ) , but see people refusing to see his statement was half-truth. He talk half, he leave the other half for una to go figure .

At least he was wise enough not to ask people to go bring evidence of intervention like petroleum minister was asking

It was obvious the guy was being economical with the truth and it's a surprise some people can't see it. Even the interviewers were a disappointment. I expected follow up questions where he was being vague.

Looks like all the normal arrangee interview where he would have been shown the questions beforehand. He would have also told them what to ask and what not to ask.

raumdeuter:
You are welcome

Una give me joy today. Imagine how this place will look like if those noisemakers won.

I'm rooting for Bayern to win. Will be a sweet end to the season and another UCL trophy for my man, Tuchel

Roland17:
Baba, I can't remember anything substantive done in the 2nd.

The save was in the first half.

The first and second half was bad. Much to my delight

Roland17:
Did Neuer even make a save today?

From Odegaard

Na so the match pain you reach?

Need Bayern to keep this scoreline and dump the noise makers out.

However the City game goes is not of interest to me.
